CARNIVAL. ECHOES.

The Fire King is gallant soldier, and
led his troops in the assault with the intrep-
idity of veteran. Though repulsed he
was not conquered.
The Ice King is a tenacious old fellow
who will not let 20 of good thing when
he has it In possession. He knew that his
palace was grander than that Of any other
earthly monarch, and that is why he fought
so valiantly to retain it.
Among the many other benefits which the
carnival has conferred is the development
of the fact that there is more artistic talent
i'm our midst than we were conscious of.
The evidence of it is seen in the varied dec
orations, and nowhere is it more noticeable
than in the ice statuary which is ornament
ing the city in every direction. Ice has
been so abundant all the time. and yet we
were apparently unconscious of the fact
that in every block of it was concealed an
angel. with only the touch of the sculptor s
chisel necessary to bring it to life. Capt.
BEAN is a success as a commander of car
nival clubs. We suggest that the associa-
ton promote the captain TO the rank of
general. He deserves it.
Col. MoNFoRT had correct conception
of the role of a Fire King, and filed it
to perfection.

I'm Which l. 800 Men and Women Ara
Throw Out Of work.

CpcCldl W Nuc diOOe-
LEWISTON, Me-, Feb 4.-Tbe entire
works OF the Bates Manufacturing com
pany were shut down at ! o'clock TO-DAY
throwing out of employment more than
1880 men and women. Tho sbptti,,
down of the mill is the result of :
strike OF the lOom-iiXers, forty in nnmbar
The strike was ordered by the KNIGHTS of
Labor at meeting held by then, on
wednesday evening. Mr. Pratt, the
agent of the mill. saws that
the primary cause of the trOubIs
was the obstinate action of one
man, a Mr.. Dalton, loom fixer in No.
mill. For some time past complaints have
been made to the Overseer by the weavers
whose looms are in charge of Dalton that
his work was not done properly; that, after
he had repaired or attempted to repair
their looms, they were not in condition
to do good and rapid work, thereby re-
ducing the pay of the weavers, and that
the number of looms out of repairs was i'll
creasing so fast that their work was seri-
ously affected. Under these cir
eumstanees it became necessary in
order to keep up the work to put an
assistant in to help Dalton on repairs.
This was done and Dalton refused to have
anything to do with the assistant or allow
him TO do any work in his section, and left
the mill yesterday. To-day a COM
mittee of Knights of Labor and loom
fxers waited on Mr.. Pratt, and demanded
Mr.. DaltOn's reinstatement without an
assistant. The demand was refused on the
ground that it would be unjust to the weay-
ers, and would have a demOralizing effect
to take back man so clearly incompetent.
Thereupon the Knights ordered the loom
fxers out, and Mr.. Pratt shut the min
down. Every preparation is making for
long stoppage of the machinery.

st. Paul merchants, fitting and profitable
excuse for their existence. And, fact
surprising to Eastern people. accustomed to
slow development and unprogressivc ideas,
st. Paul has found time to maintain re-
markable standard of culture and intelli-
gence despite the tyrannical requirements Of
a business nature which its abnormal growth
has brought in its train. Even in COMPARE
son with the intellectual activity which
aetuates critical Boston, St Paul appears
to advantage and what higher praise could
be given her? Nor does she seem disposed
to be content with the triumphs already
won. Always striving. continually achiev-
ing. she reaches out for better things and Sc
cures them, until it seems almost automatic
to say that with ST. Paul it is only to want

NEW YORK, Feb. A Toronto special
says the following cablegram has been re-
ceiyed from London:
AT farewell meeting with the agents
general of the colonies Right Hon. Col. Stan
ley, secretary of state forfhe colonies, stated
that his colleagues, before going out of Office,
had placed on record their decision to use the
Canadian Pacific as a means of communi-
eating between England and the east.
Ex-GOy. Perkins of California, principal
owner of the Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany, was informed of the above facts, and
also of the intention of the government to
subsdiZe direct line of steamers in con-
neetiOn with the railway between Van.
eOuyer and China. He thinks the new line
OF steamers will divert large portion of
the tea shipments which now go East by
way of San Francisco and Chicago to the
Canadian Pacific. Sir George Stephen,
president of the Canadian Pacific, also in
formed Gov. Perkins that the rates on tea
would be put SO low that shippers would
prefer the Canadian Pacific to any Ameri-
can transcOntinental line.

RECIPRoCAL GOOD FEELING.

When the time comes for any of our sis
ter cities to inaugurate something out of the
common and they request the encourage
ment which the presence of outsiders gives,
then st. Paul will be glad TO show that
she has appreciated the spirit in which her
carnival has been accorded the hearty COM
mendation and substantial aid of the eiti-
zens of several Western cities in particular.
In common with all Western people the in
habitants of st. Paul possess that liberality
and large-heartedness which. for some oc-
cult reason. rarely reaches anything like
as great development i'm the East. We are
quite as ready TO practice as to preach the
golden rule, and while we want as many
people as possible to visit our winter cani-
val for their own good and enjoyment we
recognize the fact that at the same time we
are deriving no scanty benefit from the
presence in our midst of thousands of
intelligent and observing visitors who.
not falling to recognize the import
ance of the Northwest's metropolis
and the business with which its
claims TO commercial supremacy are put
forth. will be equally certain to tell of it to
greater numbers who have not been able.
by personal observation, to become ac-
Quainted with the same undeniable facts.
The result can easily be foreseen. The
number of visitors, and those who came to
stay, will increase with each succeeding
winter, and the next census, if it does not
show the phenomenal increase made during
the past five years, will at least demonstrate
that the enterprise of our citizens has not
been without avail in adding to a very sat
isfactory total.

THE PORTER BILL.
Gen. Bragg's Failure TO Make 1t a
Special Order.

SpeCldt 10 tue GlOOcs
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Gen. Bragg of
Wisconsin was again foiled in his purpose
to have two days set apart for the discus
sion and final disposition of the bill for TIE
relief of Fitz-John Porter by objections
interposed by Representative Durham of
Illinois and few other Republicans. There
will be no difficulty in reaching it on the
calendar, and none issapprehended as to
its passage, but it was thought to be de-
sirable TO make it special order so that
it might not drag along for two or three
weeks. Ii it should be taken up tO-mor
row and not disposed of that day it would
go over as unfinished business until the
next private bill day. which will be Friday
week, and thus exclude other private bills
from consideration for two and possibly for
several weeks. Gen. Bragg might avoid
the difficulty and eircumvent the oppOsi-
ton by calling the previous question
from Tomorrow until Saturday, so as to
extend the Friday session over two days.
The opposition do not expect to defeat the
bill, but they are unwilling to give it any
special privileges or to facilitate its passage
in any way.

emphatically that he has made no removal

which arises above all partisan considera-
tons. 1t is one that affects the integrity
of the constitution itself and the rights

people have elevated him. and consequently
he could not be true to the trust which has
been reposed in him if he acceded to the
demands of the senate.

VERY wIDF-AwAKF.

st. Paul has proven that she is deserving
of the first place In the front rank of pro-
gressive Western cities. Not only that.
but she has dlssipated the popular impress
sion that the Inhabitants of Northwestern
cities wrap themselves in their furs at the
approach of winter. Theoretically seal doors
and windows and simply exist until the
warmth of spring returns to relieve the
frozen earth from the fast embrace of its
icy chains. She has demonstrated that if
such thing were possible she is even
more wide-awake under the exhil-
arating influence of braeing sub
zero atmosphere than when the summer
winds are playing from river to bluff. and
that she makes use of climatic conditions
under which the people of other cities
shiver and complain to further her own
pleasure and profit. Realizing that relaxa-
ton from exaeting business cares is neces-
sary TO rational enjoyment of existence.
the citizens of St Paul have with enter
prise characteristic, organized and carried
to successful conclusion form of recre-
alton as novel as it is effective. An ex-
ample is thus set for less energetic commu-
mites which, though they may be slow to
follow. will compel a tribute to the go-ahead
spirit which animates St Paul people ON all
occasions.

A CoRRECT PREDICTIoN.

1t was no extravagant prediction that
Col. DAVIDSON made at the editorial BAN
quet last night when he predicted that by
1890 the twin cities Of st. Paul and Mime
apolis would have a population of 500, 900.
1t may sound extravagant talk to those who
are not familiar with the growth
OF these two cities. but TO
those who have watched their prog
ress within the last five wears
and the favorable conditions which now
surround them, there can be no limit fixed
to their future development. The rise and
progress of the twin cities comes nearer to
realization of an Arabian Night fiction
than anything that has ever occurred within
the worlds history. What has been done
can be done again, and repetition of the
last five years history of st. Paul and Min
neapolis will verify Col. DAvIDsoN's pre-
dicton.

THE BEAUTY OF IT.

Battles magnificently stern array was
never displayed to better advantage in
mimic paegeantry than last night in the
storming of the ice castle. AS a mere
pyrotechnic display it was of surprising
beauty and scenic effect. Those who wit
messed it had never seen its equal. The
concurrent testimony of all spectators,
whether they came from the East or the
West, or the South or the North, was that
it was without parallel. New York has
had many fine public display but
it never equaled this" was the
statement of prominent Eastern gentle
man to the GLOBE last evening. sit is
little humiliating for me to say so, but can
dor compels me to state that Montreal has
never yet approached it, F" chimed in citi-
zen of the ice palace city of Canada.
Scores who had witnessed the celebrated
Mardi Gras carnival in the South freely ad-
mitted that ST. Paul's carnival eclipsed
them all. And so it is we the citizens of
st. Paul are brought to a realization of the
fact that we have made such a brilliant
success of our venture in an ice carnival
enterprise.
Last nights attractions were not con-
fined exclusively to the magnificent display
Of fireworks during the storming scene
The procession and the Examinations were
features that are seldom witnessed. The
excellent order preserved by the nearly
5000 uniformed men who served either in
the Ice Kings garrison or under the leader
ship of the Fire King in his effort to dis
lodge BoREALIs from the castle, was won
derful exhibition of discipline And what is
still more marvellous is that such perfect
organization should have been effected
within so short time. Ii so much can be
done within two months it is difficult to
conceive what this enterprising people will
accomplish in the way of carnival next
winter when they have whole twelve
month in which to perfect arrangements,
and that, too, with the advantage of the
experience already acquired

A MISTAKEN IMPRESSION

Among the first of the mistaken impress
sions generally held in the South and East
concerning st. Paul and the Northwest,
which the returning visitors will remove, is
that about the so-called Siberian rigOr of
our winter climate. We have had pretty
average winter weather thus far during the
carnival and visitors may be sure that, with
characteristic generosity, we have given
them all we had. Nothing has been kept
back or concealed i'm order that we
might parade ourselves in meteoro-
logical Sunday clothes simply for
the purpose of creating a good impression
upon company. We have frankly produced
thirty degrees-below-zer weather and we
fearlessly challenge comparison of it with
the higher temperatures of those places
whose highest realization of winter is a
death-dealing freeze one day and an equally
fatal thawing the next, where mud and
slush take the place of clean and compact
covering of snow for the streets and the
plumbers work is never done. We do not
deny that we have cold weather, sometimes
extremely cold weather, in the Northwest.
but we DO maintain that here, knowing
what to expect, we are enabled TO so pre-
pare for climatic severity that our North
western winters are robbed of half their
terrors and the exceeding dryness of the at
mosphere speedily does away with the
other half. That this latter element of
mitigation is not mythical any person who
has spent winter in nominally warmer
but moister climate, and also one in the
Northwest, can testify. A still more forci-
BILE proof is to be found in the fact that
1000 men have found it possible to take
part in long parade without discomfort,
while the mercury oscillated at about the
minus twenty point.

THE PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.

If the senate would attend to its own
business and quit poking its nose into the
presidents affairs, the welfare of the coun-
try would be promoted by it, as well as
our irrational dignity. The lines are distinctly
drawn between the executive and legis-
lative departments of the government. The
fact that the majority in the United States
senate seem TO be ignorant of the constitu-
tlonal limitations of the respective depart
ments' is lamentab.e evidence of the low
typeof American craftsmanship which has
control OF the upper branch of the national
congress. BY the position he has taken in
this matter Mr.. Cleveland excites the ad-

The French Crown Jewels.

PARIS, Feb. 4.-The debate on the sale
of the crown jewels was attended with
great excitement. Count de Lanjuinais
predicted that the republic would be speed
lily overthroTn. His prediction was re-
ceived with bowls. 1t Is estimated the
jewels will produce AZ. 600. 900 francs. Some
that are of historic interest will go to the
Louvre collection. The gems of artistic
and educational interest. valued at IS. 0OO.-
900 francs, will be handed to the museum
and school of mines. The Imperial crown
swords that belonged to Louis XVIII. and
the Dauphin will be melted in order to pre-
vent the possibility OF their falling into the
hands of showmen. Louise Michel has
abandoned her intention OF going to Russia.
She proposes to start an anarchist paper
called Terre ct Liberte.
