OTHER SPEAKERS.
Budd Reeve, an erstwhile Minneapolis
politician, but now of Dakota, followed in
humorous vein. arousing not little
laughter. He said that the most serions
mistake, perhaps, G. A. Pillsbury had
made was falling to spank his boys and
stop them from speculating in wheat in
Northern Dakota.
E. j. LHerault, the president of thel
evening. here explained that the report that
he had been trading DIR. Ames off for Pills
bury was utterly without foundation.
Col. NJ. w. Glenn was greeted with ap-
plause. He raked the administration and
reviewed the corrupt contract system, not
forgetting to pay his respects to 5. Q. Cut
Ter, the ''boodle" alderman from the Fifth
ward. He showed that the contractors un-
der the Pillsbury administration had failed
to pay $1.25 day for labor. The colonel
made one of his characteristic speeches and
was frequently interrupted by applause.
Byron de Winton closed the meeting
with stirring speech, elciting frequent

THE PILLSBURY PLAN.

To tho Editor OF the Globe:
Taking the last census as basis. the for
eign-bom population in Hennepin county
was 54.544. the natiye-born. 93,744. Not
being very exact the foreign-born popula-
tion is five ninths of the natlve-born.
Mr.. George A. Pillsbury said in the
Women's Suffrage association. held In this
city in October last, that the foreigners
'sell their votes for So head" We will
assume that Minneapolis will cast at the
coming election %, 900 votes. Subtract
1000 votes for the prohibition candidate.
which leaves us 30. coo. Fiye-ninths of
10000, 11,lll foreign votes at 50 head or
So, 222. Now we have S.SS9 native-born
votes 10 dispose between Mr.. Pillsbury and
DIR. Ames. OF these votes there can be no
money consideration. as they are not sala-
bic, consequently our campaign is getting
simplified. The fight will now be between
the law and order. the Republican and the
Democratic parties. All good citizens agree
that our present administration Is I'm de-
plorable condition, and out of a population
of $50, 600 there should at least be 8. $50
law and order voters. 1t is clearly the duty
of these good people to vote for Wesley
Lawrence. But in this case what can we
do? Here we have s.sS9 law and order
votes and 1000 prohibition votes, which
make 10, $50 votes, so you see that the H.
Ill at 81 head hold the trumps. "a
drowning man catches at a straw" and II
there should be no buyers in the market,
this problem could be satisfactorily solved
to all, but as il now stands, what can we
do? MAGNUs.

CAMPAIGN CLATTER.

The Journal did not do the honorable
thing yesterday. In its 4 o'clock edition it
circulated villainous slander to the effect
that the Democratic tickets were being
printed at a rat Office. Before the ink
was dry on the paper. the editor was in
formed (what he probably knew we'll
enOugh) that the statement was baseless
lie. But did the second edition contain a
denial of the SANDER? Not much. No
reference whatever was made to il. This
might have been expected. The point is
that voters may now know what valuation
TO put on anything they may see in the
Journal. 1t has shown itself to be utterly,
and absolutely, and wilfully unreliable.
~
Our cartoons this morning need no COM
ment. The voter will be at no loss to un-
derstand these stories without words. and
they speak louder than laundering Gordon,
even when his voice it at its best Great
is the power of the cartoon. 1t drives
itself home and sends It's points deeper than
the finest eloquence. 1t cannot be resisted
and resistance is never attempted.
-
Mr.. Pillsbury makes no point when he
denies what has never been affirmed, and
he offers his reward without risk. No one
imagines for a moment that he or the city
committee would be so foolish as to send
out provisions and groceries TO the deserv-
ing poor. direct from headquarters. No
one supposes that the city committee or Mr..
Pillsbury directly employed the man who
tried to buy George Harbitz, or directly
issued the order on which Epps got his half
sack of flour.
-
If half is true that found its way into the
GLOBE Office in the shape of communica-
tions yesterday, these Republican candi-
dates must be terrible men. But CORE
spondents must bear in mind they must be
known before their matter can be accepted.

after compllmentlng Mr.. Hartman upon his

Sly made his position at once more plain
and more emphatic. He threatened that In

Living Wages to workingmen.

A prominent Minneapolis contractor calls
attention TO the methods of the administra-
tion in awarding contracts. For instance,
contract is about to be awarded to II.
Philbeau of Chicago for laying number
of miles Of water mains the present season
by the water board. The prices bid are so
very low that it will be impossible for the
contractor to pay labOring men living
wages. Blodgett came here two years ago
and succeeded in getting the contract for
laying the mains Of that season. His bids
were so low that he could not pay Mime
apolis prices to the laborers. and the conse-
quence was he imported men from Chicago
and Milwaukee. When fall came the poor
men were unable to leave town. They had
no money. The result was the Friendly

pie getting together and having such
thoughts, stirred me so that l have re-

is one of the good effects of mind meet

L assert that there is a want of facil-
tiles for this kind of intercourse. And
what could be more appropriate than
that the church which has the highest
welfare of men and women in charge,
should concern itself about this need,
and provide for it by organizing along
side of its other societies one for gen.
eral culture and study, and intellectual
conversation, and thus possibly extend
its influence among a class which fire.
quently holds itself aloof from the
church, but which would be of great
value if it were enlisted. 1t would be
great misfortune to humanity if the
church of the future ever became the
dogmatizing, all intruding, tyranizing
power that the medieval church be-
came but if it could become benig-
nant center of light, sun, sending
vitality into every department of life,
touching with its rays, society, business,
homes, schools, the children, the toilers,

religion was not solemn and severe
something which children dread, and
grown people feel shy Of, but instead, a
warm vivifying light which pervades
everything good and beautiful, and
whose absence makes the dark noisome
places of life.
If this is the true idea, it seems as
appropriate that the church should
cluster about itself intellectual group
ings, and care for these intellectual
needs of ours, as that the sunshine
should flood the meadows and the bios

tion will have, not only its prayer
meetings, or conference meetings, but
its literary association, over which it's
pastor will preside, and where the finest
minds will gather together, and that
much good will come of this both to
society and to the church.
