the practice of inSuring property without
inspection and appraisal, the lack OF

where they do exist.

bilities for unearned premiums, should be
required to include in that item the pro rata
portion of all gross premiums on risks hay

themselves in the case of each bond issued,

to the rate of interest " hich was referred to a
special committee, with orders to report at
the next meeting.

dent, Samuel Cross. Rhode Island; secre-

wants More Court House.

There is general feeling among the tax
payers that there should be another story on
the building. The rooms are now all taken
and the needs of the city and county de-
mand more room. The law library and the
public library could be located there; and
the engineers want more room. With this,
the four stories would be completely tiiled.
The architect informs us that the symmetry
of the building would not be much inter
fered with. We have building so far that
is beauty, and built strong and solid, and
the feeling of every taxpayer is to have it
completed SO that it shall be Joy forever,
and not be completed to commence patch
ing on this noble structure in three years.
Let's have the building finished in the most
approved manner. And any man who
wants such a building finished in pine,
should move to Minneapolis. The commits
sion appointed are the most worthy men IN
the city, and not one dollar of the funds
will be stolen. and with this fact, the feel
ing of every taxpayer is to have good
building, even il the amount should have to
be doubled. The commission meets ton
morrow TO decide the question. by all
means let's have good building.

A DIRTY sCHE M f
Connected by Republicans TO Har
ass Mayor Ames and His Canvass

Connected by Republicans TO Har-
ass Mayor Ames and His Canvass.
1t has leaked out that certain unscrupu-
lous Republican leaders have conceived
plans to injure Mayor Ames in his candidacy
for governor, which indicate the line OF at
tack that will be employed to place him In
false position before the people. Agents
have been employed to work up and even
manufacture evidence tending to show That
the police force has either been in COLLISION
with the criminal classes or has
at least afforded protection by
failing to make arrests upon proper evil
dence. The idea of all this scheming has
been that Mayor Ames, as chief executive
of the city. could be held responsible
for the actions of his subordnates to an
extent that would warrant the grand jury
in finding an Indictment against him. The
grand jury happens to be composed prlncl-
paly of Republicans, some of whom, it was
hoped, would be sufficiently rabid in their
political hatred, to countenance the actions.
The hired tools employed to do
THE DIRTY PART
of the work, after hunting industriously
over week, secured what they thought
was sufficient evidence to make showing.
The grand jury adjourned to meet again
Monday, when the effort to obtain an in
dictment against the mayor was to be
made The plot came to standstill yes
terday, when County Attorney Davis, who
had made an examination of the cases, pro-
nounced them to be simply rubbish.
and too frivolous to take up the
time of the jury. This has proved
an effective quietus, the county
attorney preventing the courts being made
the means of political tricksters to blacken
Mayor Ames' character. The scheme un-
doubtedly was to have sensational arrest
made and heralded through the Republican
press. besides OBTAINING and hampering the
mayor in the vigorous campaign he con-
templates making. While it has probably
failed, it is sufficient to indicate TO what
lengths unprincipled Republican leaders are
willing to go to compass the defeat OF the
Democratic candidate for governor.

PETERSON BADLY TREATED.
He Says the Swede Element Will
Resent the Insult.

Frank n. Peterson, prominent lumber
merchant CT FrancOnia, ChisagO county,
and man who has beena citizen of Min
nesota for more than twenty-six years,
was met by GLOBE reporter yesterday.
Mr.. Peterson WAS the dark horse who was
to be brought out for nomination as Secre-
tary of state by the McGill leaders as a
representative of the Swede faction, but
after the second ballot, Fletcher Il Co. be-
came frightened and cut Mr.. Peterson
throat, and took mean advantage of his
friends bys bringing Hans NEattson on the
convention for that Office. The result of
this subtle move was to madden Mr. Peter
son and his friends. Mr. Peterson, in
an interview, said yesterday:
81 have lived in Minnesota.more than TWEEN
ty-sx years. have travelled all over the
state. ] have lived in Washington county
and in ChisagO county, and l know q good
many people. I have an influence with my
friends, aud that influence will be felt at the
polls. Hans Mattson is DO representative OF
the Swedish element and they will repudiate
him at the election, you mark my word. l
have no favors to ask of the McGilf gang; l
have business that neeessitates my close at
tention, but my friends were ignored
through my treatment in that convention,
and want it understood that I shall work
for DR.. Ames from this time until the close
| of this campaign, and 1 can guarantee that
he will get splendid majority in my county,
which is strongly republican. And will ret
him pile of votes in Washington county
Ames will surprise them ALL and ne will get
vote in the Fifth district that will make
them all weary. He will get the election as

HAMLINE NOTES.

On Tuesday last Hamline university once
more opened its halls to the maidons aud
young men of Minnesota, with an outlook
which is better than in any preceding year.
The students registered the first day number
1874 and there with probably be $50 by the
time the term is well under way.
Prof Griffin, who has lately been elected to
the vacancy in the Greek chair, by the resig-
nation of Prof. Taylor, is giving proof that he
S the right man in the right place.
A, 2. Drew, the new tutor, is proving a
great favOrite with the boys particularly in
base ball matters. as he makes first base
man who cannot be beaten.
The juniors are mourning the loss of one
of their number IN the absence of w. A.
Little who has gone to Middleton, Conn. But
there is no loss without some gain the other
boys think, as the ladies in the claas are few.
An uninterested person would observe
with a smile the good natured rivalry be-
tween the two societies, the Amphictyon and
PhilOAathean, in soliciting memberships
among the new students. Surely the latter
ought to be well informed by Friday night.
The programme prepared by the Amphic-
tyon and Philomatheal soclaties for tonight
is as follows:

"FHE FLIRT.1
The FIOrences Present Their New
Play atthe Grand.


Play atthe Grand.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Florence appeared
before st. Paul audience for the first time
last night in their new play. 1.-THE Flirt. -
People who have been accustomed to see
ing Mr.. Florence in the character which he
has made famous, such as Bardwell Slote,
Pinto Perkins and Gap'n Cutie, scarcely
recognize him as Sparks, the swell lover.
But there is no class of dramatic work in
which Mi. Florence does not acquit
himself creditabiy. And the same may be
truthfHlly said of Mrs. Florence. Their
characters in the new play fit them like
tailor-made garments. Mrs. Florence plays
the part of the dashing widow, not so En-
attic as Mrs. Gen. Gilfeury. nor such a
hobby rider as Miss Matilda Stdrr, but still
an excellent opportunity for that display of
spryness and jollity which charaeterfzes all
OF her acting. The play was intended to
be vehicle for the presentation of the
talents of the Florences, and it
answers the purpose admirably. The
piece is lively from END to
end ard is bound to have good rum eth
audience was kept laughing through every
act. A good hit was made by Mr.. Flor
ence, when, in describing to the widow the
statuary he saw in Rome, he struck the at
titude of ''Ignatius Defying the Whole
Creation" The introduction of an after
dinner song Is a new feature in the Flor
ence performances. or rather the revival of
an odd enc, for there was time when Mrs.
Florence was noted singer. The song.
Don't Pull Too Far from Shere,n is a
clever one, and received an encore. The
play gives Ms. Florence an opportunity to
display some OF the gorgeous dress of which
she has full store. The part that Mr..
Flnrence plays is entirely different from his
former creations, but is equally as amusing.
The new play received a very hearty well
come last night. The entire company Sus-
tanned their individual parts admirably, and
considering that this was only the fourth
time that the performance has been pre-
sented to the public everything moved
along with remarkable smoothness. To-
night The Mighty Dollar, Saturday matt

The scowl of battle had about faded from
the placid brow of Ignatius DOnnelly when
the sun went down last night, and across
his fHddy features there was waited
light that was not all of earth.
Into the sage's face there stole look

laShed the water with his line aud changed
his hook and spat upon his bait, but last
night his basket was empty, and sage and
philosopher at once, he abandoned the

Being asked what the convention meant
by indorsing the minority committee re-

was written by him and contained no at

Ames, but they felt grateful to the Repub-
