PROpERI,y REFusEn

The refusal Of the state department to ac-
cept the resignation of Minister JACKSON,
the American minister to Mexico, is in
every way wise. 1t is proper to say that
Mr.. JACKsoN's desire to abandon his post
was conceived before the trouble with
Mexico assumed the present serious phase,
and bad no connection with it. but his pres
ence in Mexico is imperative. With the
hot-headed Texans on one side and
the equally impulsive Mexicans on the
other. each biting their thumbs at the other
and spelling for fight, there is much
reason to fear collision which might pre-
cipitate the two countries. while desiring
to settle peaceably the questions at dispute,
into an armed conflict. With prudence and
shrewd diplomacy our representative in
Mexico may be able to secure American
rights without abating one jot the dignity
of this country's position, and if he cannot
do this it is well he should be present
OH the scene to watch the progress of events
until circumstances akin to an open rupture
between the two countries demand his with
drawal. Minister JACKSON may not be
very comfortable, but he should be resigned
and continue to draw his $12, 900 salary in
as philosophic frame of mind as is con-
sistent with his surroundings.

MAYOR RICE FOR CONGRESS.

To the Editor of the Globe:
I am profoundly grateful to see the name
of EDMUND RICE mentioned as a candidate
for congress and am rejoced that the GLOBE
has seen proper to give him an Endorsement.
l am sure that he will unite upon himself the
support of all Democratic factions. and will
attract the support of large element of the
Republican party. I am an old citizen of st.
Paul and belong to the laboring class of our
people, yet would consider it the greatest
honor of my life to aid in electing such q
man as EDMUND RICE to congress from the
Fourth district. What an improvement he
would be on our present congressman. Let
us elect him. AN OLD TIMER.
st. Paul, Aug. 4.
The GLOBE has no candidate for congress
or for any other office. Itrecognizes in the
eulogistic advocacy of Mayor RIcE's claims
contained in the above communication a re-
Election of the sentiment of very large and
most respectable element in this district.
The GLOBE has confidence enough in the
Democracy of this district to believe that
when the nominating convention is held a
candidate will be presented to the people
worthy of their support. If in its wisdom
the convention thinks that Mayor RICE
is the man to win the congress
ional plum, he will be placed on
the ticket and will be elected. The GLOBE
will go farther and say there has been no
name mentioned in connection with the con-
gressional nomination in this district that
has been received with more satisfaction
than that of Mr.. RICE. We say this much
not as partisan of Mr.. RIcE's. but simply
as statement of fact well known to
everybody in the two cities of st. Paul and
Minneapolis.

Inspection over, they start on their journey.
The two female pedestrians have passed
three human clothes horses. The latter
are alive. They wear good clothes. Dudes,
they are called.
The members of the trio carry tiny canes /.
They are not lame. The canes are not for
! use but for looks The canes go into the
mouths of the dainty and perfumed ex-
cuses for men on the slightest excuse. They
wear eyeglasses. Their eyes are not as
weak as their brains, but glasses. they have
been told by men who have original
thoughts, are becoming, hence they wear
them. These three are on the lookout
for unprotected women. They assist one
another to think that they are irresistible.
They cannot understand how a woman can
ignore them.
They pass the two girls and attempt to
attract their attention. The attempt was
failure. They turn about and follow the
girls and pass and repass them as often as
possible. Not glance have the girls given
them. The dudes feel encouraged and fol-
low the couple to the uttermost limit of the
park.
A manly young fellow greets the girls as
they come out of the park. One of them
calls him Tom" The dudes attempt to
pass along as though they never thought of
attracting attention. A word from one of
the girls and Tom" hits out from the
shoulder at one of the dudes. The blow
takes effect and the dude staggers. while
his two companions run away. They are
joined by their unfortunate mate. No re-
sistance is attempted. The dudes disap-
pear and the girls and tom" retrace their

ADoUBTFUL COMPLIMENT.

Mr.. GILFILLAN may well pray for de-
STILsoN HUTcHINs' calibre voluntarily
comes to his support. HUTCHINs is the
most notorious lobbyist in Washington. He
hangs onto the skirts of congress like a
barnacle to a ship. For the last twenty
years there has probably not been a
job of any kind before congress
that HUTCHINs has not had a hand
in it. AS will be seen by reference
to our Washington specials this morning,
Mr.. HUTCHINS has volunteered to give Mr..
GILFILLAN a certificate of character. He
commends his vigilance and activity in con-
gress. especially in opposing the Northern
Pacific land forfeiture bill. If Mr..
HUTCHINs had only known it he
needn't have put himself to the
trouble of telling what Mr.. GILFILLAN
did in that matter. MI. GILFILLAN's
constituents had already heard of it and
they propose to discuss the whole question
with him at the polls in November. In
fact, if Mr.. GILFHLAN's wishes in the
matter were to be consulted, he would pre-
fer that his friends would lay low when the
Northern Pacific forfeiture bill is talked
about. 1t is evident that Mr.. GILFILLAN
did good service for Mr.. HUTcHINs in the
matter, and the latter seeks to express his
gratitude. But above all things else an ex-
preston of gratitude from this source is
what Mr.. GILFILLAN does not want at this
time

SCENES IN THE CITY.
Four Little Gophers Imprisoned in a
Showcase Window on Third
Street.
The Effect of the Electric Light Upon
the Dazed and Dying Pris-
OnerS.
An Incident That Occurred in the
Park and Its Striking
Result.
How Travelling Man Spoiled His
Breakfast--A Pretty Young
Woman.
IN A GLASS PRISON.

A gopher and her little ones huddle to-
gether in the showcase of a Third street
establishment, which showcase has been
converted into species of cage and con-
tains quantity of dirt. some dried-up sod
and collection of dead and dying grass.
In the entrance to the establishment, di-
rectly to the right of the glass case, hangs
an electric light. Its rays shine down on
the prison of the tiny captives and illumin-
ate every part of it. During the night, or
at least until midnight, the artificial illum-
ination lights up the window and renders
visible to the passing pedestrians the rest
less and frightened prisoners.
They attempt to conceal themselves in
the scanty collection of dry grass without
effect. They dig down into the dry earth
until the bottom of the show window is
reached. when the burrowing process comes
to an end. Surprised at their inability to Sc
crete themselves from the sight of the many
passers-by. who stop and look in at the
miniature colony, the gOphers huddle to-
gether so as to shield at least their heads
from the inspection of gazing pedestrians.
AT shutdown they twist about each other
and get their heads out of sight and appar-
enCly are at rest IOr the nlgnt.
The starting up of the electric light with
its intense illumination rouses them up.
They look at it as though surprised that
morning should have come so quickly and
that the night was so soon passed. The
little ones at the first break of an imaginary
dawn of a new day, scamper off while their
mother looks on with evident
surprise and dissatisfaction. The
play of the young gophers is not
of long duration. They find themselves
tired and in need of rest. Four pairs of
bright little eyes turn in the direction of the
electric light and continue to gaze at it I'M
til relieved by a semblance of sleep. The
nap abruptly terminates by the little pris-
oners again staring at the unusual object.
Doing away until midnight they are
wearing themselves out by late hours. They
show it in their actions. When first i'm
prisoned they managed to play during the
day. Four little ones and their
mother constituted the exhibit. One
has gone to his last long home
The survivors no longer scamper about or
manifest any unusual animal spirits. Living
has become serious affair with them.
Their days of eighteen hours sunlight and
electric light are numbered.

At the same time we must remember that
we cannot afford to relax our vigilance or
TO abate our precaution particle 1t be-
hooveS the health department to be more
alert than ever and to see that the rules it
has established for the protection
of the health of the city are rigidly enforced.
But the health department cannot do ev-
erything. Each individual has duty to
perform in this matter that should not be
disregarded. The present alarm through
out the country on account of the preva-
lence of typhoid fever and the apprehen-
sion of cholera may be turned to excellent
account if people will take advantage of it.
They will insist Oh having the plumbing of
their houses thoroughly overhauled so that
their dwellings may not be filled with
sewer gas, upon whose wings the germs OF
disease, are drawn into houses. Ii they
want health in their homes the house
keepers will take the trouble to loop up
their curtains and open their shutters to let
a little fresh air and sunlight into the
dismal parlors which preposterous fashion
reserves as hatchery for malignant diseases

fans and curtains and pieces of furniture,
for the sake of ornamentation, they will eX-

annoying and so damaging to furniture
and adds so much to the labor of house
cleaning that it is next to impossible to
persuade housekeepers to open up the
house during the day. They fail to realize
that health is of more Importance than car
pets or upholstered furniture, and that to
make house healthy and to keep it SO it
is absolutely necessary that the doors and
windows should be opened every day,
rain or shine. and the building be kept
freshly aired. 1t is because of this
fact that the GLOBE has here
tofore urged upon the health depart
ment to insist that every street in the city
shall be sprinkled. so that the occupants of
the homes in our city will not be driven to
the disease terminating practice of keeping
their dwellings closed as protection
against the intolerable dust
We will let the people of the city into
another secret by means of which they will
be able to laugh at contagion. By eating
and drinking only wholesome and digestible
food, nd not more than enough of it.
by taking plenty of exercise in the open air
and by close observance of all the COM
nonsense dicta of sanitation, they will so
tone up and strengthen their systems tina
the myriad enemies of life that float in the
air can effect no lodgment. but will perish
by the natural processes of a healthy body.
Discrimination, sitting in draughts to
cool off, congesting the stomach with a
stream of ice water, late hours and immod-
crate feelings are just the preparation in
this kind of weather that di seases would
ask for on the part of selected victim.

about it being possible with ease through
both cities combining forces. Financial
backing in plenty can be secured. the two
cities would furnish paying constituency
which the managers of visiting clubs could
not but regard with the greatest
favor, and the rapid transportation
facilities would render the visit
here of Eastern clubs much more
convenient than is the present trip to Kan
sas City. The value, too, of an excellent
ball nine playing in the National league as
an advertisement for the two cities would
be of no mean order. The interest through
out the Northwest in sporting matters is
intense, and the location here of league
team would be highly commended. The
games. it goes without saying, would be
literally patronized. There is money in it.
Will it be done?

MIR. WINDOWS MISTAKE.

Ex- Senator WINDOW is reported as say
ing to a Washington correspondent that
1.-THE tariff question does not play any great
part in Minnesota" and adds, 81 do not
observe that it has taken hold of the public
mind much more than it ever did," He
also observes with considerable ingenious
ness that he recently made high tariff
speech at Fergus Falls and was pretty gen.
orally congratulated when he got through.
The sagacity and shrewdness which
distinguished MI. WINDOW when he
was factor in political life worth
considering must have deserted him
since his retirement to private life. Had he
retained his former clearness of perception
andfeadiness of observation he would not
have made assertions so manifestly incor-
rect as those quoted. The tariff question
is not regarded with Indifference by the
people of Minnesota. On the contrary, it
is of great and growing Importance and
the people, through their political platforms
and public utterrances, never lose an
opportunity to express their interest in it
and their unalterable opposition to the in
iquitouS high tariff of which Mr.. WINDOW
is such an ardent champion. The Brainerd
convention declared itself square-toed
against the tariff, and in a convention held
so late as July Z. the convention which
nominated MI. JOHN LIND for congress,
the people of one of the most important
sections of the state expressed their strong
condemnation of high tariff robbery, and
so strong was their feeling upon the
subject that LIND, rabid protectionst
as he is, saw the necessity of
concealing his real views and of pretend
ing sympathy with tariff reform until he
was safely out of the woods, so far as the
nomination was concerned. In every por-
ton of the state the feeling is the same,
and it has been indicated so frequently that
Mr.. WINDOW must have been singularly
unobservant not to have seen it. Regard
ing his Fergus Falls speech, did Mr.. WIN
DOM expect his audience to indicate their
disapproval by violent means? In no other
way can the assumption he has evidently
made of their approval, for which he mis-
took mere courteous attention, be ex-
planned. And one would hardly think that
Mr.. WINDOW would care to boast about
praise rendered him for finally putting an
end to his address.

Ever on the lookout for one of his fellow
knights of the road, he scans those who

SERMON ON HEALTH.

The reported appearance of Asiatic
cholera in Wisconsin, while probably with
out foundation, may serve good purpose
in awakening people to the fact that this is
the unhealthy season. The phenomenal
heat and the prolonged drouth are not cal
culated to create healthy conditions. The
tendency of the heat is to lower the human
system and to make it an easier prey to
disease. The human system needs
moisture just as much as vege-
tation does, and protracted
dry spell is always unfavorable to perfect
hygienic conditions. Frequent bathing
may measurably supply the lack of atmos-
pheric moisture, but nothing can wholly
remedy the injury that is inflicted upon the
system by constantly inhaling air that is
too dry. When we remember, too,
that frequent rains render valuable
aid in cleansing the streets and
gutterways and carrying off accumulated
sewage we at once realize the additional
risks which the population of a city are
subjected to by drouth. The health re-
ports show that in The majority of the cities
in this country typhoid fever is prevailing
to an alarming extent. The different forms
of ordinary summer diseases of the
diarrhoaic and cholera morbus order are
unusually virulent. The unhealthy condi-
tons which prevail in so many localities have
inspired the fear Of an outbreak of that
most terrible of all scourges-the Asiatic
cholera. 1t is not matter of surprise,
therefore, that the appearance of an aggra-
waited form of cholera morbus in Wisconsin
should have had an alarming effect, and to
have started the rumor that it was Asiatic
cholera.
So far st. Paul is to be congratul ated
upon its healthy conditions. We have
never had summer when the mortality
was less. We have been wonderfully ex-
empted from every species of epidemic.
These facts speak in loud tones of the gen.
eral healthfulness of our climate and of the
excellent sanitary conditions of our city.
