Il want to challenge your ear Tor min
ute" said Mayor PillSbury to GLOBE re-
porter. as the latter passed through the
MAYORS Office in the city hall yesterday. OF
course. he got it. He can always have it
for a time, At least.
u see the papers keep insisting that If So
eDd-so is the case / will run for mayor" he
resumed As the reporter took Il seat near by q.
The papers say that if DR.. Ames runs for
ruayor on the Democratic ticket, l am 10 run
on the Republican ticket. l want to assure
YOU that / am no party TO such political
scheme ! nave never said anything that
could possibly be construed into anything of
the sort. And why should L? DR.. Ames is
my personal friend, and, for that matter, Mr..
Morse is also my friend. Consequently, no
argument could be urged TO make me change
my mind. About the only thing upon
which we really differ is the liquor question. l
am n firm believer in the present admnistra-
tive policy. should Doc Ames be elected
mayor l know he would favor changing the
patrol limits and would not be in favor of
enforcing the existing ordinances regulating
the traffic. Henry Morse's record shows that
he would DO the same. l can only see slight
difference between the two in this respect.
Mr.. Morse has more dignity than the doctor,
but the doctor has remarkable executive
ability"

BETTER PAY,BETTER SERVICE.
Inauguration Yesterday of the New
SXsIem in Horse Cars.

The Minneapolis Street Railway company
has made an important move tending at
once TO mitigate the evils of which drivers
have complained and to meet the demand
for more frequent and later cars made by
the public. The new system went into
effect yesterday morning. increasing the
force of drivers one-third and putting on
twenty-eight new cars. Under the new ar
rangement the drivers will get shorter time
and more pay, as follows: When the cars
start in the morning two-thrds of the
drivers 90 out with them. At noon one
half of this force is laid off and the re-
naming third takes their places. AT D.
m. the men who were laid off at noon re-
lieve those who have been driving since
morning and run the cars till midnight
Every man gets morning, afternoon and
night off during the week-equivalent TO
one whole day. The men will work seven
| days week, averaging eleven hours day.
The increase in pay is about 80 per cent.
| New drivers are paid Is cents an hour,
men who have been three months in the
service 10 cents, and those who have driven
year or more IL cents an hour. The pay
of an experienced driver will be Sl.S7 for
eleven hours work and $500 for the
week.
This much for the employees The public
will be served in better style by the more
frequent cars and by later service at night.
Besides the cars at the Grand opera, late
trains will leave on the several lines as
follows:

The RepubIican plan.

A prominent Republican attorney and
member of the crushed Union league was
talking city politics yesterday and in a con-
fidential strain said:
In the uncertainty regarding Republican
candidate for mayor, the city committee
placed our convention at the last possible
time in the hope of forcing the Democrats 10
nominate first. You know how that came
out. The Democrats will have the last say,
after all, so the Republican plan is as follows:
Our convention will meet in the morning and
nominate Mayor Pillsbury by a spontaneous
uprising. Mr.. Pillsbury will be COW eniently
absent from the city and no one can say
whether he will accept or not. At night the
Democratic convention will meet and choose
its man. If it is Morse Mr.. Pilsbury will de-
cline the next day, but if it is Ames he will
accept"
That's all arranged?"
That's what the party leaders agreed upon.
Yes"
who are the party leaders,"
"Why, l mean these back office men the
GLOBE is so fond of talking Of"
But all of this, in the light of what
Mayor Pillsbury says, seems highly i'm
probable.

Notes in General.

The desire to see Mary Anderson since
her return from Europe where she para
lyzed CockneydOm and crushed" the entire
peerage has been very general, and Mime
apOlis has by no means been exempt. She
will be here the first half of next week and
the burning desire may be gratifed. The
advance sale of seats began yesterday and
the rush was quite interesting to behold.
Good seats were snapped up in short order
and when the day closed the success of the
engagement was assured. 1t is whispered
that ''Our Mary" has become more Hebe
like in form since the days when her wish
bone was the cynosure of all eyes and that
in las You Like IT. she is perfect poem
in form. So, of course. she will crowd the
Grand to its utmost capacity every night.
On Monday the bills will be "Pygmalion
and Galatea" and COMEDY and Tragedy

day. las You Like It."
The 'Mikado" holds out well and con-
tinues to please large houses nightly. The
! company is certainly well balanced one
with plenty of good vocal power, and the
presentations have been invariably pleasing
and successful.

at the dime museum. Next week the fam

as Characteristic of Doc" Andrews, who
is well remembered in Minneapolis man
OF pleasant address and generous dlspo-
sition. but who appears TO be afflicted with
mania for stealing. The most wonderful
thing about him, however is the re-
markable ease and deXterlty with
which he has managed 10 wriggle
out of the various scrapeS into which his
thieviSh propensitieS have lead him. In
| 1881 he was arrested for rObbing the mai
in the Chicago poStotiice. Letters were
found in his pockets and he confessed his
guilt. Notwithstanding his conviction he
prevailed upon the court 10 suspend SEN
| tance for ninety DAYS. during which time he
,ecured pardon from President Arthur.
During the next year he graduated from the
Rush medical college and came TO Mime
apOlis pennileSs. The fair was in progress
| and he managed to pick up few dollars
! by selling pillow sham holders With this
! he went to st. Louis, where he robbed an
uncle of So, 900. He was arrested, but the
charge was compromised. He managed to
retain about 500 and came
BACK TO MINNEAPOLIS.
He interested local physician i'm a pro-
| iect TO establish sanitarium where mas
sage treatment was given. at the corner Of
| Seventh and NicOllet. While engaged in
! this business he went IN good society ana
was a member of a leading church.
! Suddenly he was arrested for
stealing f. l.. Aliens horse and buggy
from in front of a church in st. Paul He
had been i'm possession of the rig for about
year, but managed TO prove an alibi by
showing that he was singing in church
choir in Minneapolis on the night of the
theft and had afterwards become an inno-
cent purchaser. Less than a year after
wards he was arrested for stealing horse
! from j. l.. Monroe. This time he flashed
up bogus bill of sale and secured his ac-
! quittal. During this time he resided on
| Pleasant avenue, near Twenty-siXth street,
and his insane longings for other peoples
| possessions is well illustrated by his steal
ing two crates of eggs and some butter from
a Hennepin avenue commission house. He
got out OF the difficulty by acknowledging
his guilt in writing and paying for the
property. His career here was wound up
by his exploit of stealing bolt of billiard
cloth and a set of ivory balls. He had for
his accomplice the son of a leading lawyer
and the matter was hushed up TO save the
young man. The detectives of the city
will watch with a good deal of interest to
see if the gifted thief now receives his de-
Serts. The bets are two TO one, however,
that he gets free by some hook or crook.

Is GEN. SHERMAN INsANEl
His Friends Caused Uneasiness by
His Eccentric Acts.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE mental condi-
ton of Gen. W. I. Sherman is giving his
friends much uneasiness. He has shown an
Feasibility and petulance of late that revives
all the old stories of his moods during certain
periods of the war. know from
their own lips that some of his relatives in
the East are alarmed for him. He has writ
ten letters TO persons East and West in such
a tenor and OF such character as to leave no
doubt that he is seriously unsettled in his
mind. IL may be merely the effect Of the
sharp controversy with Gen. Fry and the con-
sequent irritation; but, whatever il is, it
causes much anxiety among his friends.
There is just trace of insanity in the gen.
erals family. His father, Judge Sherman of
Ohio, married a Hoyt. She was a sister,
believe, of the grandfather OF Mary Irene
Hoyt. who has been fighting in the courts
here for the possession of a fortune that her
father put out of her hands at his death, be-
because he believed her 10 be insane. She
was once incarcerated for months in a
Pennsylvania mad house-a private asylum.

The Nationality Prejudice.

To the Editor of the Globe:
There has been within the last few days
some discussion through the columns of the
public press in reference to the duty of the
Irish in supporting DR.. Ames or II. c.
Morse for mayor AT the ensuing municipal
election. AS an Irishman and Democrat
l ask the privilege of entering my protest
against the method which these writers
take 10 advocate their cause. and also to
inquire from whom they received their au-
thOrity TO speak as the oracleS of what they
choose to call the "IriSh-American vote"
And first l would wish TO know what
these writers mean by the "IriSh-American
vote?" Do they by that phrase mean the
ITishmen who on election day will vote for
the Democratic nominee, or do they mean
those who will give their sutfrages TO the
Republican candidate? Perhaps they refer
10 that class who stay at home ''Sulking in
their tents" Do they wish us to under
stand that the lrishman is too ignorant TO
exercise the privilege of every freeman to
decide for himself TO whom he shall give
his support. and that he must be driven TO
the polls like dumb animal to vote for the
men whom the political bosses select?
l do not believe the ''IrSh-American
vote exists at all in our city, and l sim
cerely hope that the time will never come
when there will be any necessity for organ
izing such a vote. The day of the Know
nothing has gone by. IriShmen vote as
American citizens for the men or party OF
their choice, some with one party, some
with another. and some with no party al
all. and l think each and every one Of them
are intelligent enough TO place that vote
where ii will do the most good. 1t is the
right of every citizen to advocate or oppose
the nomination of any man for office, but
when he seeks to do it by appealing to race
prejudice it is time to call halt. The in
telligent Irishman who takes this method
of supporting or opposing any candidate is
certainly no lover of his race, or else he i:
innOcently turning the crank for some ont
who has IAN axe to grind"
