We parted. she with broken heart
And | with tearfuleye,
Declaring life to me should be
But woe and misery.
We parted, twas the story old:
had lack of dimes.
And. thinking to climb Fortunes mount
fled to mountain climes.
We met again in after years,
And fortune seemed to say:
Death hasn't laid away your maid.
Though you have made your lay"
We met, old memories came back:
/ asked her to be mine
"She would, but she a husband had,
And little pledges nine"
And !, concluding life to be
A blank-a cheerless thing
Now that my only hope was gone,
Got married in the spring.

More Education Needed

There seems to be a variety of
opinion throughout the country,
and especially y among Congressman,
as to whether the Federal Govern
ment should give aid to popular
education. That money can con
stitutionally be appropriated from
the National Treasury for the pur-
pose there is no doubt in the
minds Of those who have given
the question study; that sta
tistics show that one voter in
seven in the whole United States
can not write is certainly sufficient
argument that such an appropri-
alton should be made in behalf of
the general welfare of the country.
Just how an aggregate amount
should be divided we arc not pre-
pared to say, but from a hasty
glance ut the matter we believe tie
proper way would pro rata with the
the illiteracy of the States. a rcpuL-,
lican form of government" if we'll
founded and ruled, must necessar-
lily have an intelligent people.
Education, too, is a great lever
to a proper solution Of labor
troubles. But if the Government
should grant the desired appropri-
alton every State should be obliged
to pass stringent compulsory edu-
catiOnal laws before entitled to
receive her proportion Of the same
Sentinel.

The Eighth Wonder Of the
World.

A stranger III New York, stand
ing on the middle span of the great
Brooklyn Bridge, views with Won
der the beauties Of New York
harbor. He sees the great cities on
each side stretching away for miles
to the north, east and west. Beneath
his feet the rapidly running river,
with scores Of large and small
steamboats, coursing up and down
"A large four-masted ship, bound
for China, is passing under the
great bridge in charge of tugboat
on its way to sea, all hands are
busy on deck, and as they pass
under the bridge the sailors give a
shout. If this ship arrives out
safely and returns to this port il
will be nearly year before she
makes the round trip.
Looking down the bay we see a
great steamer going down the Mar
rows, bound in an opposite direc-
ton. Great black clouds Of smoke
ascend from her funnel. We know
that the stokers away down in the
boiler-room are replenishing the
fires that are to furnish the motive
power for the great ship, and must
be attended to constantly for the
next ten days.
Apparently at our feet, but over
mile away, lies Governors Island ;
picture fresh, green and peaceful.
The old fort, with cannons on top
large enough for a small child to
crawl in, the cannon balls piled in
pyramids, the officers houses and
well-kept lawns remind one of the
peep show in pastebOard box that
he made when a child.
At our right we see a towering
structure on an island-Bedloe' S
Island three miles and a half
away. It is difficult to realize the
distance is so great, as everything
stands out clear and bright on this
beautiful spring day. This great
structure is the pedestal for Bar
tholdi's great statue of Liberty
Enlightening the World" which is
to be 142 feet high, and will be
completed this month.
The engineers and workmen who
constructed the great statue will
arrive from France in May, and
commence putting in place this
great wonder of modern times,
which will tower $50 feet above the
waters of the bay; a beacon light
that will show far out at sea, and a
welcome to all who enter the beau
tiful harbor from oppressed and
overcrowded Europe to make their
homes with us.
This great statue is a gift from
one great nation to another, which
will stand for ages to cement the
friendship of France and America.
The committee in charge Of the
construction of this great pedestal
are nearly through with their labors.
III who desire a memcnto, in the
form of a miniature statuette of
this great work, with a certificate
of subscription from the commit
tee to show to their childrcn's chill
dren that they helped build the
great pedestal, should subscribe at
once.
The statuette is work of art,
and has found a place in thousands
of homes. Statuettes delivered by
mail or express on receipt of sub
price, one dollar, five
dollars and ten dollars each. All
should be addressed to

"Thcre is a time to laugh and a

verified on the platform at the
Depot Hotel the other evening,
says the Independent. A stalwart
colored porter stepped on one OF
the little stools placed on the ground
for passengers to step on as they
mount to the first step on the sleep
crs. The stool tilted and the gigantic
son of Ham measured his length
on his back on the platform. A
crowd of local bystanders INDUCED
in boisterous laugh at the expense
of the horizontal darkey. Their
mirth suddenly subsidized, however,
when the brunette gentleman arose,
striking an attitude a In Sullivan,
and glancing defiantly at the crowd,
remarked: Perhaps some -
--f feels like laughing now"
The countenances Of the members
Of the lately hilarious crowd imme-
diately assumed a funeral aspect
which lasted until the train pulled
out.

Poverty, distress whichever way
we turn. Nobody happy. Every
body suffering in some especial
manner. The millionaire with his
riches the common folks with their
daily struggle, aches and pains,
and the pauper with his rags and
hunger, all have the common heri-
tage of sadness. Not a perfectly
happy person anywhere. Every
closet with its skeleton. Every
heart with its aches. Every fire
side with its woes. Whichever way
we turn the Same doleful story 6f
disappointed hopes, vanished am
bition and bodily pain. There are
none happy, no not one. The sleep
ing infant has its little colics and
pains, and the school boy his sor-
rows and tumbles, and they are as
great to them as the loss Of a mil
lion to Gould or defeated project
to another. There are none happy
no not one. With heart burnings,
chickering's, antagonisms, envy and
hatred added to the woes flesh is
heir to, We have an array of misfor-
tunes big enough to appeal the
stoutest heart. Fortunately We cap-
not see the future and the long list
of woes is only met one at a time.

OUR WINNIPEG FRIENDS.

The St Paul people showed their apprecia-
ton of the visit of our Winnipeg friends by
the splendid audience given the st. Georges
entertainment last night at carnival hall.
The kind words spoken by Mr.. NoRQUAy,
the premier OF Manitoba, were in due sea-
son. Although we are divided by geograph-
ical and political lines, still the people Of
Manitoba and Minnesota are one in senti-
ment. We are brethren in every sense.
Their ways are our ways their customs are
our customs, our tastes and views are alike.
we are people of the same climatic coll
ditions, and our material interests
are brought together by the wa
tiers that flow in one direction,
and the bands of steel which link
us together. That our Manitoba friends
think well of Us and of our institutions was
evidenced by the lustiness and heartiness
with which they opened their entertainment
last night with three rousing cheers for the
United States. That our people think well
of our Manitoba friends was also illustrated
by the enthusiastic applause they gave that
splendid representative of the Manitoba
government, Mr.. JOHN NoRQUAY, while
delivering his eloquent address last evening.
We are glad that such large and respecta-
bic number of our Winnipeg friends have
visited our city and the GLOBE can assure
them that they take back with them to their
homes the most cordial feelings of respect
and esteem Of the citizens of st. Paul.
Come again, gentlemen, and often.

A NEW IMMIGRATION FIELD.

When in the course Of time the fruitful
prairies of the West are entirely marked out
into prosperous farms and Uncle Sam no
longer has farm for every conner. when
the Western towns and cities fail to hold
ont their present inducements 10 enterpris-
ing young men tired of the restraints and
conservative sloth of the East. then a new
field of immigration must be opened up to
accommodate the overflow. Already volun-
teer immigration agents have begun to herald
the claims of q new country and
if the half of their stories are true, there is
no longer necessity of hunting for the
exact location of the lost Eden. The para
disc which awaits the attention of dis
eliminating public to its manifold delights
is the Argentine Republic. The climate Is
declared to be magnificent and the soil all
that could be wished. but the country lacks
young men of enterprise, and the rich old
grannies who own almost the entire country
are willing to offer extraordinary
whom they admire exceedingly, to
settle among them. 1t is said that
not only do they promise gifts even unto
the half of their kingdoms but that one of
their daughters. with goodly dowry can
become the bride of any young American.
simply for the asking. The women, too.
are said to be more beautiful than the
hours of a MOslem's dream. Right here,
however, the enthusiastic promoters of new
colonization schemes must expect to meet
with stalwart opposition. The charms of
the newly-discovered Dorado may all be ad-
United, its exceeding business advantages
all conceded, but when the American youth
is asked to look elsewhere than in his own
country for brides of surprising loneliness,
if he is wise in his generation, he will re-
fuse the invitation.

The Great Telephone Case.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6'-Solieitor General
Goode, who has been specially designated
to conduct the suit against the Bell Tele-
phone company to test the validity of their
patent, has secured the services of the fol-
lowing named gentlemen as special counsel
TO assist in the prosecution of the suit:
Hon. A. G. Thurman of Ohio, GrosvenOr
Lowery of New York. who is a specialist
in electrical matters; Messrs. Eppa HuntOn
and and JEFF Chandler of Washington, and
Mr.. c. 5. Whitman. a patent attorney Of
Washington. The suit will be filed as soon
as the solicitor general shall have had an
opportunity to consult with the assistant in
regard TO the bill which is now in course of
preparation at the department of justice.
The place where the suits shall be instituted
will not be decided upon until all the papers
in the case are ready. The attorney general
has positively declined to have anything
whatever to do with the case. Judge GOode
says the case will be promptly and vigor-
Ously prosecuted and with fairness to all
parties concerned.

WORD OF CAUTION.

With the Thermometer singing up close
TO the dfties and an ice palace in sight is an
incongruity that only an enterprising eli
mate like our own can produce. The phe-
nomenally warm spell is not calculated to
strengthen the walls of an ice castle. and
while there is no immediate cause for alarm
there is just enough possibility of danger to
require caution. There is high authority
for the statement that another day or two
of weather as warm as yesterday W i'll SO
weaken the west wall of the castle as TO
cause 1t to break. Without intending TO do
anything that would suggest unnecessary
apprehension the GLOBE feels that it would
not be just to the public if It did not state
the facts in order that people may exercise
due caution In regard to the matter. If the
weather turns cooler to-day. as 1t is likely
TO do. there will be no possible danger. The
beautiful structure will be standing where
it is on the first day of March just as solidly
as it is to-day.
