THE MANKATo RACKET.

The report of the Mankato board of
: trade rejecting upon the officers and di-
rectors of the st. Cloud, Mankato and
Austin Railway company received a scath-
ing review at the hands of Gen. BAKER
yesterday. In his speech, which is pub
lshed in this mornings GLOBE, Gen.
BAKER not only gave a general and en-
phatic denial to the charges which the
Mankato board of trade preferred against
him and his colleagues, but he did what the
board of trade failed to do in re-
spect to its charges-he backed his
denial with the evidence confirming his
statements. To cast reflection upon the
honor of an Individual is a very serious
matter, so much so in fact that 1t will not
be tolerated by a just public, unless there is
sufficient evidence adduced to show that
there is some ground on which to base the
charges of dishonor. The mere ipse dictum
of an individual, or the expression of a cor
porate body embodied in the form of res
OlutiOn or otherwise, is not sufficient to
prejudice an unbiased public. 1t is
rather singular, therefore, that when
the Mankato board of trade sub
mitted its report involving Gen. BAKER,
Mr.. CAMPBELL and other prominent citi-
Zens of Minnesota in charge of dishonor-
able conduct, it did not at the same time
publish the evidence upon which the charge
was founded. The mere omission to do this
lays the Mankato board of trade open to the
counter-charge of Gen. BAKER that it was
prompted by malice or was actuated by a
desire to accomplish some partisan political
purpose. Ordinarily a board of trade
is supposed to be non-partisan
and non-political body. Composed, as
it usually is, of representative
men of the community, it is supposed to be
above an exhibition of petty malice or any
of the grosser frailties of humanity. In
view of these facts the action of the Man
kato board of trade in this matter is all the
more inexplicable.
The effect of Gen. BAKERS speech yes
terday will be to reverse the attitude of the
parties. From being the aggressive party
the board of trade is now placed on the de-
fensive. Having thoroughly acquitted
himself and his colleagues of the
charges preferred against them, Gen.
BAKER turns around and becomes
the aggressor. He now files a bill
of indictment against his late accus-
ers charging them with a prostitution of
their powers in an unjustifable attempt 70
defame the good name of respectable citi-
Zens of the state. In order to acquit itself
of this charge it now devolves upon the
ManlSatO board of trade to disprove Gen.
BAKERS statement, or. in default thereof,
to stand before the people of the state as a
confessed defamer, That is the light in
which an impartial public views it.

A GREAT PLAY,
Shadows of a Great city ELECTS APP
PIause AT the Grand.

Last night 1.-THE Shadows of a Great
City," melodrama by Len r. Shovel
and Joseph Jefferson, was presented for
the first time in this city. 1.-The Shadows
of a Great City" is an exceedin gly interest
ing play, and the interest is absorbing
enough to satisfy the most blase theater
goer. While there are few minor anach-
ronisms in the melodrama, it bears the
mark of experienced play-writing. The
play IS l-jOined, the eliHaxes well sus-
tanned, the incidents numerous enough to
make the action lively and the dialogue
crisp and without surplusage. The char
acterizations, too, are well drawn and it
may be safely said that Shadows of a
Great City" is success, being
purely American and by American
authors. The scenic effects and
mechanism of the melodrama were novel
and well received and the cast strong and
evenly balanced. Miss Annie Ward Tiff
my made decided hit out of the part of
Biddy Roman, an Irish waShwOman, playing
the part with an JUNCTION and understanding
that was refreshing. Mr.. George Edeson
as jim Farron was equally clever, his work
standing out like the clear OscurO of
Rembrandt. Mr.. Herman, Mr.. Nelson
Wheatcraft and the remainder of the COM
pany were especially good in their various
roles. Shadows of Great City" will run
the remainder of the week. Go and see it.

dent expressed the opinion that the proper
theory upon which to proceed was arbitra-
ton, he RETAINED from recommending COM
pulsory arbitration. On the contrary. his
suggestion was that it should be voluntary.
1t was not his idea TO compel the disputants
to submit their differences TO an arbitration
board. but, having confidence in the spirit
of fairness which eharacterizes the Ameri-
can people of all classes. the president be-
lieyes that if the board of arbitration is
once established by Federal authority all
parties will at once be willing TO submit
disputes to it for adjudication. And the
president is right about It. There. is a
public sentiment strong enough to make
arbitration more effective than laws or con-
situations could.

THE THREE REFORMS.

A Western member of congress who ap-
proves the suggestions contained in the
presidents message concerning the labor
troubles is reported as saying that there are
two other important matters that his excel
lency should urge upon congress. One is
the tariff and the other is the public land
question. He urges that when congress has
disposed of these measures the country will
be launched on full tide of prosperity.
Land reform and tariff reform were parts
of the Democratic platform as well as labor
reform. The president has made a
good start in urging the matter
of labor reform and it is entirely
proper, as suggested by the Western
congressman, that he should now take up
the other two reforms, and make the right
kind of a record for a reform administra-
ton. If the manufacturers could have free
raw material, they would have chance to
live and prosper. Their mills and factories
could start ND and give employment to the
discontinued workingmen. If the millions
of acres that are kept from occupation by
the cattle men and the corporations who
are holding it in reserve" could bethrown
open to settlement. the unemployed labor
ers would have a chance to find homes for
themselves and their families. Thus it is
that by securing a land and tariff reform,
the government could also be getting in
good work in the interest of labor reform.

THE NORTH IN THE SOUTH.

1t seems that the New Orleans Times
Democrat with characteristic. but In this
case misdirected energy. Is endeavoring TO
work up an immigration boom from Min
nesota and Iowa 10 Louisiana. In sly lie
sufficient 10 make a professional immigra-
ton agent turn green with envy, it calls at
tention TO the wonderful advantages of
Louisiana as a farming country, di-
lates upon its salubriOus climate,
and eXpatiates upon its freedom
from the Tigors of the Northern
winter. 1t prints letter from q citizen of
Rochester, Mimi, referring to the extreme
interest which numerous citizens of that
and surrounding towns have taken in GER
tain immigration pamphlets provided by the
Louisiana commissioner of immigration,
and upon this bases strong appeal to the
citizens of the Southern state 10 do all in
their power to encourage immigration from
the Northwest. 1t concludes, sensi-
bly, enough. that the people who
have so successfully built up the
the Northwest would, If their presence
could be secured, do as much for Louisiana,
and to that end urges that nothing be left
undone to induce their removal. 1t is TO be
hoped that the specious arguments OF the
Southern paper will not have too much
weight in the Northwest While it may be
admitted that Louisiana presents certain
undeniable advantages worthy the closest
scrutiny of intending immigrants, in com
parison with the benefits TO be derived from
the establishment of home in the North
west the South must retire into the back
ground. Neither should too much i'm
portance be attached to the rosy-hued ac-
counts of life in Louisiana to be found in
the pamphlets furnished the Rochester
gentlemen. The author of an immigration
book may be a conscientious Christian, but
he is very apt TO be carried away
by the enthusiasm which his sub
ject engenders. The change from the
bracIng, invigorating climate of the
Northwest to the enervating wharm
of the South is not likely to be in a great
degree beneficial. Nor in the fertility of
lands can the South boast any advantage
over the North. Intending emigrants
therefore. before breaking up comfortable
homes here, would do well to weigh very
carefully the advantages and diSadvant-
ages of the Southern states. In majority
of cases it will be found that even if every
thing is not entirely satisfactory, it is
better ITO bear the ills they have than fly
to others they know not Of"
