MORE IMPOSTURES.

st. Paul people, to their credit be it
said, are wonderfully susceptible to
tales of distress. They are generous by
nature and readily give of their sub
stance to their less fortunate fellow
beings. 1t is inevitable, then, that they
should suffer considerable imposition.
Some time since the GLOBE made
public the schemes of several impostors
who were making an excellent living by
preying upon the sympathies of char
liable people. Despite the publicity
then given the movements of the i'm
posters, it seems that further imposition
is being practiced. and at least two per-
son utterly unworthy of sympathy have
reaped rich financial harvest.
In each instance the person soliciting
aims is woman, who represents that
she is collecting for destitute family,
alleged to be living, in one case, on Ar
cade street. aud in the other on Acker
street. Rev. Mr.. IRMScHER has investi-
gated both of these cases and has found
that no destitute persons are living at
either place. He finds also that the
operations of the impostors have been
extended, and that they have swindled
perhaps score of people. There is all
the more reason why these impostors
should be checked, inasmuchias, accord
ing to Mr.. IRMsCHER, there are many
deserving people in the city who are in
great distress and whose needs are i'm
minent.
There is but one way of giving aid
with the assurance that it will be worth
lily bestowed. In case of an application
for assistance refer the applicant either
to the relief society or to Mr.. IRMsCHER.
The case will then be investigated, and
aid will be given where it is deserved.

Pittspurg Post.
The st. Louis platform embodies a
clear and emphatic statement of the DO
sitiOn of the Democratic party on the
tariff. 1t is not ''straddle," it is not
for the continuance of the trust-creating
war taxes, and most decidedly it is not
free trade. 1t demands reform of ad-
mitted abuses. In brief. the platform
reaflirmS the familiar Chicago platform
of 'S4, as interpreted by President
Cleveland in his tariff message of last
December, and as attempted to be car
rled out by the referm tariff bill now
pending. Therefore we must look to
the presidents message and the Mills
bill for the position of the Democratic
party on tariff revision and tax reduc-
ton.
'Our progress toward a wise conclu-
clusion," says President Cleveland in
his message, Twill not be improved by
dwelling upon the theories of protection
and free trade. This savors too much
OF bandying epithets. 1t is condition
which cOnfrOntS us, not a theory. The
question of free trade is absolutely IT.
relevant. and the persistent claim made
IN certain quarters. that all efforts to
relieve the people from unjust and un-
necessary taxation are schemes of So
called free traders, is miSchievOus and
Tar removed from any consideration for
the public good"
Our present tariff laws the president
declared to be 1.-The vicious. ineuuitable
and illogical source of unnecessary tax
alton" that fought to be at once revised
and amended" Aud as to the course
which the revision should take the
president said:
Under our present laws more than
1000 articles are subject to duty. Many
OF these do not in any way compete with
our own manufactures, and many are
hardly worth attention as subject of
revenue. A considerable reduction can
be made in the aggregate by adding
them to the free list. The taxation of
luXurles presents no features of hard
ship, but the necessaries of life used
and consumed by all the people. the
duty upon which adds to the cost of
living in every home, should be greatly
cheapened. The radical reduction of
the duties imposed upon raw material
used in manufactures, or its free i'm
portatiOn, is of course an important
factor in any effort to reduce the price
OF these neceSSarieS."
~
To what extent does the pending re-
form tariff bill meet the recommended
tiOnS OF the president and the demands
of the platform; and, incidental to this,
what justification is there for the idle
free trade'' clamor of the opposition?
The average rate of duties on the $685.
O0O,OO of foreign imports for the year
1887, under the existing tariff law, was
54.16 per cent. Under the Mills bill the
average rate on these same importations
would be 1884 per cent. This includes
the free list, and is the official statement
prepared by the treasury department.
But, excluding the free list. the annexed
statement shows the reductions on the
dutiable schedules:

JUNE COMETH.

o Lover-bird haste to thy wooing,
Break forth into bloom, red rose:
For the East doth flush with an eager blush,
And June thro' the garden goes.
She is white like the tall white lilies
That sicken the air with sweet,
And the yellow hair DER her bosom bare
Falls down to her sandard feet
Her eyes are as deep as the ocean,
And calm as a forest pool sil7
Her breath is as free as the sea-winds be,
And her lips with the dew are COOL r.
She comes from the daisied meadow,
BY tender winds DER blown;
For May, the child who erst ran wild,
Is now to woman grown.
Behold. like queen she cometh,
So stately and fair and meek:
And the lilies swoon in their own perfume
To touch her fairer cheek.
o birds, be no cease to your singing;
Break forth into bloom, red rose;
For days high priest cometh out of the East,
And June thro' the garden goes.
Her eyelids droop with passion
Her trembling lips would own;
And the kiss of the sun her brow upon
a rose in her cheek has blown.
Her long white arms to her lover
She lifts and her parted lips
Drink the light of his kiss, as bee, wis,
The sweet of lily sips.
Sing loud, o We birds, of loving,
Till all the world gives ear;
For the sun is in love in the heavens above,
And June, the queen. is here.

THE POLITICAL VOICE.
Dakota Republicans-Ten Votes
Wanted-Gen. Chandler Gone

Merriam

Dakota Republicans-Ten Votes
Wanted-Gen. Chandler Gone
Gilman Observation-Disclosures to
Merriam.
The Republicans Of Dakota took
possession of the Merchants hotel to
large extent yesterday afternoon, most
of them being ell route for the Chicago
convention under the tutelage of Gen.
Harrison Allen and Col. Plummer.
Among them were w. G. Plummer,
CasSelton; Gen. Allen, Fargo: Harvey
Harris, Bismarck; u. X. Hubbard,
Fargo; S. q. Magill. Fargo; o. W,
Francis, Fargo; E. l.. Emery. Grand
Forks; III. E. Lavayea, Larimore; p. J.
McClary, DEVILS Lake; l.. B. Richard
son, Grand Forks; S. E. Sauter, Graf
ton; B. f. Spaldng, Fargo; George H.
Walsh and George B; Winship, Grand
ForkS,and George III. Wright. Larimore.
They left last night for Chicago via the
Burlington road. 1t was Col Plummer
who remarked that they would go by
that road no matter what the Knights
of Labor said or thought about it. The
delegation has one interesting question
for the national convention to decide.
Col. Plummer outlined it as follows:
I'VE are entitled by the convention
rules to but two delegates, but the Re-
publicanS have recognized Dakota as
two states. If we were two states we
would be entitled to twelve delegates.
We have decided though to ask that, in
the interests of justice, we be given ten
delegates on the floor. The jamestown
convention, of course. put us through
with hurrah OH the Blaine movement,
and most OF us are for Blaine. although,
IT only two delegates are admitted, l
cannot say bow they will stand. Some
OF us are for Gresham"
This situation places the Dakota dele
cation in a position favorable for recOg-
milton. If the Blaine men. as reported,
have control Of the convention, they
will be more than anxious to have
the ten votes of Dakota admitted, that
being so much additional strength
gained. On the other hand the anti
Blaine forces may have strength enough
to prevent this and give Dakota
rough Snub. Whichever way it goes
the Dakotians promise to occupy a con-
spicuOus position in the proceedings of
the convention.
Fred Puhler, postmaster of Ada,
passed through st. Paul yesterday,
bound for Chicago. In discussing the
nomination of S. G. Comstock for con-
gress, Mr.. Puhler said:
1.-The farmers are not satisfied with
him, and if the Democrats make NOM
ination satisfactory to them l think that
he can be beaten. | believe that it is
conceded that Norman county will give
majority of 200 or 800 for prohibition
this fall, and that will be that much
loss for the Republicans. anyway. John
&. Nelson, of Otter Tail, is mentioned
for the Democratic nomination, and be-
cause he is more widely known, am
under the impression that he would
run better than f. B. Nash, Jr."

\ DAY NURSERY.

The effort Icing made by certain be-
hevolent women OF prominence in St.
Paul's social circles to found day nur-
sery.where mothers who must labor for a
living during the day may leave their
children, deserves to meet with the most
cordial encouragement.
Though the field is partially occupied
by all admirable Institution of similar
nature, established by Rev. LOUIS CALL
LET, of st. Mary's church. in connec-
tion with st. Mary's Home, it is by no
means filed. There is room for several
day nurseries. Among the 175,OOO peo-
rle who make up ST. Paul's population
Ire are hundreds of women who are
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-06-17
compelled to work for a alivelihood and
who have small ol,iidran

compelled to work for aliveIihood and
who have small children.
Obviously they cannot take these
young children with them to their
work, and it is equally manifest that to
leave them at home unattended is pro-
ceeding accompanied with decided dam
ger. There are more young children
thus situated then would be supposed,
and it is a question whether even two
day nurseries would be sufficient to care
for them. There is certainly pressing
need for establishments of this kind,
and the one projected will not fail for
lack of patronage.
The names of the people associated
with the enterprise furnish a sufficient
guarantee that it will be liberal in its
scope and well conducted. Generous
people can find no better vent for their
charitable impulses than in assisting in
forwarding the movement.

Gen. NJ. B. Chandler, of the Mime

night. Before going he said:

There is much amusement in llocab
political circles over the proposition,
evidently emanating from MerramJ
that Ramsey county be harmonized and
no fight be provoked over the delega-
ton between Schetfer, McGill and the
millionaire. Said one of Mr.. Scheffer'S
friends yesterday:
albert Scheffer has got Ramsey
county solid and all the money Mr..
Merriam has can't take it away from
him. But if the Merriam men are so
badly off for harmony why don't they
come and make fair propositions to US.
There is no need of indulging in under
hand work. Let them speak out plainly.
They know that Albert Scheffer is the
choice of the county and that in taking
the delegation he is only receiving
what is rightly his. Mr.. Scheffer is
not working for any split or schism in
the party, and will not countenance
any. So if the Merriam gentlemen want
fair statement from him let them call

Senator Sherman's Wealth.

New \ Ork Press.
The wealth of Senator Sherman is
largely overestimated. His homestead
is worth $4,000; Mrs. Shermau's farm,
near by, acquired by inheritance, is
worth $4,000; there is $1,000 in bank
stock, some $4,000 in railroad invest
ments: in all there does not appear to be
more than S100,O0 worth of property in
Mansfield held by the senator. In
addition he has twenty acres of land
between Minneapolis and st. Paul, and
some landed interests in Washington.
In one Or two other places he has some
landed property. In Washington great
deal of real estate stands in the name of
John Sherman, but it is another John
Sherman. He is also an Ohioan. The
senator's political opponents have used
this confusion of names greatly to ex-
aggerate his wealth. On the eve of an
election by the legislature Senator Sher-
man. received proposition to become
president of a railroad at a salary of
$4,000. He deliberated long and then
turned from the offer to accept a sena-
torial salary of One-ffth as much.

Troops Meet in the Streets of

CoNsTANTINoPLE June 16.-A very
serious riot occurred in Constantinople
on Tuesday. A regiment o6 black
troops of the imperial guard came
into collision with a regiment of
Albanians in the streets, and
a pitched battle with revolvers and bay
Onets ensued, resulting in the killing of
several men on each side, and the Sc

both sides before the fight could be
Quelled. Tremendous excitement pre-
vailed during the conflict, and it was
only through the efforts of Ghazi Osman
Pasha, the marshal of the imperial
palace, who rode to the scene at the
head of large body of troops, that the
rioters were finally disarmed and driven
to their quarters. The sultan witnessed
the fight from a window of the palace,
and was greatly alarmed lest the affray
portended an attack upon the palace
and his assassination. The czar will
not leave st. Petersburg for his usual
