THE OPENING DAY.

The carnival opens auspiciOusly. Not
withstanding the shortness of time for
preparation. everything is in order, and the
merry-making will proceed. Even the ele-
ments smile kindly on our enterprise, for
the weather could be no more favorable If IT
had been fixed up to order. Scarcely can
we realize how work involving so much
labor of preparation has been pushed to
completion within SO short time. 1t is an
evidence of what Northwestern enterprise
can accomplish. There is perhaps no other
city in the world where so much could have
been accomplished in the same length OF
time as in St Paul, for there isno other city
where there is the same amount OF enter
prise and public splrltedness.
Less than two months ago a small COM
pany of gentlemen sat down at an evening
banquet at the Ryan, the guests OF Mr..
GEORGE THOMPSON. to discuss the feasl-
biIity of building an ice palace. The re-
suit of that conference is seen to-day In the
building that adorns Central park-a castle

to build an ice palace thoughts, started into
instant action. To resolve was to execute
The little spark of enthusiasm which was
there kindled has grown into flame OF hre
which has warmed the hearts OF all the
people of this great city.
We are proud of our ice palace, and we
have reason TO be. AS an object OF archl-
tectural beauty it is faultless. The sun
light by day and the electric light by night
shining upon its transparent walls, and Its
chaste towers lifting their heads heaven
ward to catch the first kiss from the snow
flakes which will fall, give to it the appear
ance of some fairy creation.

WHY IT Is so.

Our correspondent who discusses the sill
yer question in to-day's GLOBE, takes ex-
actly the right view of it when he says that
congress has no business to consult the in
terests of the gold bugs on the one hand or
the silver kings on the other, but to look
singly at the interest of the masses. Now
if congress could be induced TO take the
same view of the situation, the whole mat
ter would be speedily and satisfactorily dis
posed. But the trouble is that the gold bugs
and the silver kings usually take more in
terest in the election of congressman than
the people do, and as natural result the
members of congress generally look after
the interests of those to whom they are in
debted for their election. Whenever the
people get to taking as much interest in the
election of D.embers of the state and ma
tional legislatures as those who have axes
to grind and special interests to protect are
in the habit of doing, the probability is that
we will have more popular and more
beneficial code of Jaws than now exist. The
indifference of the people TO this matter Is
the cause of so much unsatisfactory legis-

wnMAN,S TRIUMPH.

That it is not good for man to live alone,
GEORGE Upton is thoroughly convinced.
although for twenty years there has been
no more pronounced wOman-hater than he
has been. Although a Kentuckian, the
bellies of the beautiful blue grass region
were without charm in his eyes and finally
disguised with them and the entire femi-
nine sex. he retired to one of the Bahama
islands which he had acquired. and devoted
himself to amassing riches and the exelu-
sion of women from his domain. He sue
ceeded in both. But now after lapse of
twenty years of buttonless shirts and trou-
sers, which only retained their connection
with suspenders by means of convenient
single nails, Upton in despair metaphorl-
cally throws up the sponge. acknowledges
his error and seeks once more the refining
influence of the fair sex and the ministering
touch of needle-nimble fingers. Upton,
acknowledgement of his small deserts,
spread before his coming rose-colored
reports of his exceeding richness and If he
has taken the precaution to bring with him
documents proving his claims to unbounded
wealth it is quite likely that AL will be
forgiven" by the discriminating Kentucky
beauties and his mission in search of a wife
will not be in vain. This tribute to woman's
irresistible influence will be doubtless re-
ceived with satisfaction only to be equalled
by the pride with which the chosen one
will rule as queen over her husbands island
principality.

A REPUBLICAN BLUNDER.


Mr.. BLAINE is so practical a politician
that he knows politics when he sees it.
When the Republican senators were laugh
ing in their sleeves at their supposed smart
ness In demanding of the president his rea-
sons for making removals. the plumed
knight stepped promptly TO the front to tell
his party friends in the senate that they
were doing a very ridiculous thing. He
told them that they We're uniting the
Democracy in support of the president and
to that extent strengthening his admins
tration. In vindication Of Mr.. BLAISE's
superior political astuteness, scarcely had
he spoken the words when news came
that the Democratic. senators had assem-
bled in caucus and resolved unanimously
to stand by Mr.. CLEVELAND in his fight
with the Republican senate. Thus 1t Is
that Republican stupidity has been the
means of solidifying the Democratic organ

threatened TO go 10 pieces because OF
internal dissension. 1t has been so long
since the Republican senate had 10 face an
opposition administration il has forgotten

TEXAS IN LUCK.
1t May Lay Claim To One-Fifth Of
Indian Territory.

GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. 30.-An Austin spe
cial to the News says: Col. T. ]. Breckin-
ridge, one of the Tevas members of the Joint
boundary commission to fix the disputed
boundary line between Texas ana Indian
Territory, embracing the district known as
"Greer county," has made singular discoy-
ery in his researches among old maps and
documents. The original treaty, fixing the
boundary line adopted by Melish's maps as
its standard. and the present line is also to be
arranged on the authority OF this map. Col.
Breckenridge discovers that Melish outlines
what is now known as ''Washita river 10 be
the north fork of Red river, instead of the
stream now bearing that name, which bounds
Greer county on the north and east The
only question for the present commission to
determine is which of the various streams is
North Red river. If Col. Breekinridge's dis
coyery can be authenticated Texas may not
only claim Greer county but about one-ffth
of the entire Indian Territory, embracing the
richest grazing lands In the territory. Wash
ita river empties into Red river few miles
west or Denison. and runs diagonaliy across
the territory TO the center of the western
boundary line. Col. Breckenridge thinks that
the general government will quickly coneede
and also Greer county if by so doing Il eau

WHAT A GARTER DID.

A garter is surely harmless article of
apparel and usually modest enough in
pressing its claims to notice. Shrinking as
much as possible from the public eye, its
province is to remain i'm quiet seclusion.
1t would seem that brides garter especially
should be shielded from any undue notoriety.
But 1t was exactly that portion of a fair
maids trOusseau that recently set several
slow going officials of the province of
Alsace by the ears and put in motion the
pOnderOus machinery of the German
government. Among the time-honored
customs of German life. observed in every
class of life, from the humhlest laborer to
royalty ITSELF none is more religiously re-
garded than that of dividing the garter of
bride into little pieces. which are divided
among the guests and worn as wedding fa-
yOrs. This ancient rite was observed at
the marriage of a young Alsatian girl to
gallant youth of neighboring village. The
municipal authorities of three towns were
present, and each of them, together with
the other men present, received piece of
the BRIDES garter, sill1en ribbon of tri-
color, red, white and blue, and. as

ors. The guests, as in duty bound.
pinned the favors in their buttonholes and
transformed themselves for the time being
into veritable Knights of the Garter. Soon
the report came to the public prosecutor
at Colmar that pro-French and therefore
anti-German demonstration had taken place
in his district and he concluded that as
faithful representative of the emperor 1t be-
hooved him to ruthlessly crush such glaring
evidence of disloyalty. A hasty hunt
among the mazes of German legal lore
failed to discover law applicable
TO the case, but an obsolete French
statute which had never been re-
pealed was discovered in which the
display of all emblems likely to incite sedi-
ton and riot was stumbled upon. This was
seized upon by the acute but non-sentimen-
tai prosecutor. who under its provisions ar
raigned the knights of the garter before the
calmeF criminal tribunal. The gallant
judges, mindful of the age Of ehivalry and
the halo of romance which surrounded
the garter, decline to entertain the action,
end instead heaped ridicule upon the over

DEATH OF MRS. BAYARp.

Secretary BAYARD is entitled to the
sympathy of the nation in the succession of
heavy domestic Affections which have be-
fallen him. 1t has only been little while
ago that his heart was bowed with sorrow
at the escap ade of a Maynard son. Still
later the eldest born, a daughter of lovely
character and rare accomplishments. was
suddenly snatched away from the family
circle. Scarcely had he returned from her
funeral until he was called to stand by the
death bed of his devoted wife. 1t is seldom
that the hand OF affliction falls more griey-
ously on one household. Mrs. BAYARD

Accident, Suicide or Murder,

Special to the Globe.
Mt. CARMEL. ILL.,, Jan. 31.-Last night
the farm house of Valentine Keyser, twelve
miles from here, was burned, and Keyser's
charred body was found in the ruins. No
one was at nome at the time, and the origin
of the ire is unknown, as is also the cause
of Keysers death, which many do not be-
Iieye was accidental. Keyser had been
very rich, but his immense farm,
LOO acres, was to BE- sold under
foreclosure of mortgage next Satur-
day. In tit of dependency
he may have committed suicide. although
he was not regarded by his neghbors as a
man likely to take his own life. Some
believe there was foul play. There was a
woman in the case, Mrs. Sanford, noted
character known as The Kangaroo" with
whom Keyser sustained improper relations
for years, and which induced a separation
between him and his wife. Keyser, Mrs.
Sanford and her divorced husband all lived
together under one roof, and by the moral
people were looked upon as bad crowd.
Keyser was an old California forty-niner.
The coroner is investigating the subject.

LandIOrdism N Crime.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-Frederick Harrison,
lecturing on Ireland, said he considered
landlOrdism in its worst type crime against
human nature and society. He was not
amazed that the Irish had been driven to
use the weapons to oppose landlords, how
ever human or Just. LandlOrdism is the
result of English laws, therefore England
is bound to see that the landlords do not go
uncOmpensated. He believed it possible to
satisfy Nationalism without throwing the
whole control of Ireland into the hands Of
parliament at Dublin.

SHORT DRESSES AND DIPLOMACY

SHORT DRESSES AND DIPLOMACY.
An incident, the outcome of which may
yet be pompous and stilted correspond
ence between the English foreign Office and
our state department, took place recently at
Hong Kong. 1t seems that our consul at
that place has daughter, who has not yet
blossomed out into complete young lady
hood, and who, being very pretty young
Virginian, thoroughly conscious of the
dainty feet and delicate ankles with
which discriminating nature had endowed
her, wore her dresses in rather an abbrevi-
ated fashion. The gruff old English gov
ernOr spied the shortened gown and its con-
sequent disclosures at a naval ball, and
jealous of the comparison which he recog-
nized to be instituted between the pedal
eXtremities of the fair American and those
which the British bellies were obliged to
hide from view with heightened dresses
and also lacking in his makeup that
esthetic appreciation which should have
made him delight in the charming Virgin
ian's innovation, undertook to dictate TO her
the kind of costume in which she
should appear. Assertive of the Ameri-
can spirit of American independence
and ntolerant of English interference the
fair maid thus made reply: when want
yonr advice about my dress, old man, I'll
ask you for it," and she turned on her heel
leaving the great man gasping with aston
ishment. Despite whatever may be said
about the feebleness of this eountry's foreign
relations il would seem that there is one
place where the tail of the British lion
droops between his legs when the American
eagle screams Had the governor been
skilled in diplomacy he would have deli
cately limited that the ankles were lacking
in the lines of true beauty, and his object in
having the dresses heightened to An alleged
decorous length would have been at once
