The rain did not keep people away from
the Grand Opera House. last night for the
house was crowded. Barlow Bros minstrels
made good impression. Billy Barlow and
Charles Turner on the bone end, and Jim
Barlow and John Harty on the tambo end,
kept the audience in constant merriment
It's No Business of Mine," comic song by
Charles Turner, took the house by storm
One of the features of the performance was
Master Edward Percy, who is truly wonder
full singer for one of his age. John Harry is
a New Haven boy and when he came on he
was rapturously applauded. He does two
acts. He first appears in his parlor juggling
act, and later as an equilibrist, which is
after the style of ''Silence and Fun" He
did his work well and was eneored several
times. The singing in the first part was
good. The performance ended with the
laughable farce, Cuisines Difficulties" In
the museum hall are Till's narionettes The
performance will be repeated tonight

The annual report made 10y the man

shows that the institution is admirably
carrying out the purposes for which it
was founded. One of the best managed
charitable institutions in the city, it, to
gether with the Little Sisters of the
Poor. whose objects are somewhat SIM
liar, holds very warm place in the re-
gard of the people of st. Paul. The
aims of both institutions are eminently
practical and are we'll carried out.
Though the managers of the Home
for the FriendleSS indicate III their re-
port that they have no reason for COM
plant, il is yet evident that the scope
of the organization and its field of use

should receive even more liberal treat

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.

1t is gratifying TO observe such feel
ing OF confidence in our local and fnan-
cial circles. Notwithstanding trade has
been considerably restricted by the
recent SeEcre temperature. After
seriously weighing the situation our
jObbers are confident that the spring
trade will open with unusual activity.
One ground of this confidence is the gen.
eral financial SOundneSS of the country
merchants and those upon whom our
commercial men are dependent for busi-
ness. There have been exceptionally few
failures in the Northwest this season,
bills have been paid promptly and every
thing indicates a prosperous condition
throughout the vast extent of territory
dependent upon st. Paul for supplies.
The values of staples throughout this
territory are generally we'll maintained !;
there has been no Oyerproduction, and
the relations of supply and demand
mve everywhere been well preserved.
"A St. Paul gentleman who recently
returned from all extended visit to the
Eastern commercial and financial CEN
terS, says that he was gratified to find
everywhere an unbounded confidence
in St. Paul's future. In all his talk
with leading bankers and business men
of the East he did not hear a single
doubt expressed as to the city's perma-
nent prosperity, but everywhere heard
the most flattering predictions concern
ing our future greatness. This fact,
taken in connection with the confidence
which prevails in our local trade circles
gives cheering assurance of great
business activity during the coming

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 26.-Mrs.
Senator Davis received to-day for the
first time since New Years, being as
sisted by Mrs. Representative MacDon-
aid, Miss Helen Pierce, of st. Paul;
Mrs. Coykendall, of Tennessee. and
Mrs. G. V. II. Brinkerhoff, of New
York, and her friend, Mrs. w. st. Bush
nell, OF Minnesota. Mrs. Davis bright
disposition and pleasant, unaffected
ways have not only won her many
friends. but have been the cause of her
tainments by which she has been kept
constantly going, and to-day remarked
to one of her friends she
would be glad when Lent came
as she will then be able to get rest,
which she so much needs. Being told she
looked more as if she was refreshed by
the constant whirl than tired, she re-
piled she was fearful for her health,
which was now excellent, but might
fail under the constant strain. Several
callers as they We're departing re-
marked on the mature grace of the
hostess. Mrs. Davis wore costume of
pink and garnet satin, the skirt of which
was covered from side to side in front
with PINK ana WnlUe emprOluefeu SILK
lace, reaching the bottom skirt, back
of which it was plain, falling in a
graceful court train. The basque was
entirely of pink satin, high in the neck
and at the bosom cut heart shape, and
filled in with lace. The sleeves reached
the wrists, where they were turned up
and faced with garnet satin. The effect,
which this bright toilet produced, was
charming with Mrs. Davis rosy COM

A METROPOLITAN sOUABBLE.

Chicago and New York are still en-
gagged i'll an angry wrangle over the
next National Democratic convention,
with the possibility that while they are
Quarreling some other city will carry off
the prize. New 1Ork'S claim, which
was published With q flourish of trum-
pets, shat Mr.. CLEVELAND had de-
clared a preference for that city, has
been exploded. The president has done
nothing of the sort. Mr.. CLEVELAND
has seen something of the United States
within the last few months and has
been convinced that there is great
deal of country outside of New. York.
Chicago bases its claim on its good
hotel accommodations and the prospect
of having hail completed in the early
summer with seating capacity of five
or six thousand. While hotel accom-
mOdationS and suitable hall are mat
terS to be looked after they are not all
the attractions necessary to draw a con-
vention. There are some political con-
SiderationS entering into a decision of
this question. 1t is policy in political
party to hold convention, Just as OAKES
AMEs was wont to place his corporation
stock. where it will do the most good.
Baltimore and San Francisco are the
two principal cities next to Chicago and
New York competing for the conyen-
ton. Cincinnati, st. Louis, Omaha and
few others are talking it up, but with
Chicago and New York killing each
other off the prospects are altogether
favorable for San Francisco.

which are particularly numerous In
Massachusetts. What could be Objec-
ti0nable in a law requiring oil instructors
of youth to possess certain degree OF
intellectual ability, it is difficult to see.
1t Is certainly the states duty In the
preservation of its own welfare to see to
it that there shall be no lack of thorough
ness in the instruction of its future citi-
zens. 1t requires certain standard of
excellence for the instructors whom it
employs in the schools that are open to
all, and it certainly is not going beyond
its province in insisting that the instruc-
ton to be given those who do not care
to avail themselves of the public schools
shall be equally as good.
There is no occasion for sectarian
feeling i'll the matter, for the fact that
it affects parochial schools is simply in
cidental to the fact that it affects all
schools in addition to those paid for by
the public

LOUISIANA REPUBLICANS.
Personnel OF the Ticket Nominated
Yesterday.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 26.-The Repub-
lican convention completed its labOrs
about O'clock this morning and ad-
journed. Col. James Lewis was elected
as the fourth delegate-at-large. Gov.
Warm0th was not Oh the floor Of the
convention. He has been in poor health
for some time. and yesterday afternoon
was confined to his room. Col. Frank
MOrey, in an interview last night. stated
that number of prominent Republi-
cans were with Mr. Minor until at late
hour Tuesday night, using every argu-
ment to induce him to accept the first
place on the Republican ticket, but he
declined to allow his name to be used,
upon the ground that the planting in
tereStS of himself and members of his
family would require so much of his
time that he could not possibly give
proper attention to the duties of gov
ernOr. 1t was with great reluctance
that Mr. Minor consented to take second
place on the ticket. The ticket may be
described as follows: Mr.. Minor, who
is about fOrty-three years of age, is one
ar planters in the state. Mr.. Patty,
who is the only colored man on the
ticket, is an attorney. practising law in
St. MaryS and the adjoining parishes.
He is graduate of Straight university
and about thirty years old. Mr.. Hero is
native of New Orleans and a we'll
known notary. During the war he was
the major commanding the battery of
the famous Washington artillery in the
army of Northern Virginia. 6[r. For
sythe is a native. of Ireland and fifty
years old. He is iumberman and mer-
chant and was at one time state sena-
tor. Mr.. Wylly, age about fifty, is a
wealthy cotton planter, and has for
| eight years been an associate jnstiee of
| the supreme court of Louisiana. AIr.
Flanders is an ex-governor of Louisiana
and all eX-mayor of New Orleans. aud
formerly was the United States sub
| treasurer at New Orleans.
MINOR WILL NOT ACCEPT.
FL. G. Minor, who was nominated yes
terday by the Republican state conYen-
ton for the office of lieutenant governor,
stated to-day that he would not under
any consideration permit the use of his
name on the ticket. EX-Gov. Flanders,
who is on the ticket for the office of
superintendent of public education. will
| also decline, according to the statements
| of his friends.

The Paris ExDOsition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The report
of the house committee on foreign af-
fairs upon the bill providing for the
participation OF the United States III
the Paris exposition, says: This ma
ton cannot forget its obligations to
France for the assistance rendered in
its struggles for freedom. On many Oc-
casions since, notably in the preSenta-
tion by the French people of the statue
of liberty. the sympathy and good feel
ing of the French nation toward the
United States and its government has
been manifested and the people of the
United States have watched with graft
fication the firmnesS of purpose and
self-control with which the French ma
ton has maintained and increased its
hold upon republican institutions, in
recent times Of menace and peril. The
year 1889 will be the centennial of
events in France which gave an impetus
to the establishment of republican in
stitutions everywhere. 1t is clearly the
duty of congress to promptly take ac-
tion, and thus proclaim in the most pos
tive manner its approval Of this i'm
pOrtant project"

The Democrats OF the Committee
Almost Ready TO Report Their
Tariff Bill

The Democrats OF the Committee
Almost Ready to Report Their
Tariff Bill.
Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Star this
evening says the Democrats of the ways
and means committee have almost COM
pleted their tariff bill. ''They have
reached" it says. "a point now where
they are in perfect agreement, and the
bill in a general form is completed"
There remains now little for them to do
beyond the manual labor of getting the
bill in form and some missionary work
to strengthen the bill. They are ad-
yancing in way that is more SatiSfac-
tory than they had hoped for. The mis-
sionary work to be done is simply the
yielding OF little points here and there,
when they can thus gain strength fol
the bill without making any serious
sacrifice. The bill as reported will put
wool on the free list; will, by
way of compromise, make material
reduction in the tax on tobacco
and fruit brandies, all will make re-
duction of 20 per cent on sugar. Salt.
lumber and other such raw materials,
will go on the free list. There will be a
general revision and adjustment of the
tariff schedule, and the administrative
features of the bill will be practically
that formerly advanced by Mr.. Hewitt.
At every step they have consulted eX-
pediency to great extent and have so
managed as to gain strength in many di-
rections. They have perfect confidence
that they will be able to pass the bill
almost as reported. An exception may
be made as to the wool clause. After a
fight they may compromise on this by
putting coarse woods only on the free
vantage by SO doing. They appear,
however, to think that they will not
have to make any change in the bill in
this respect.

THE AMBASSADORS.

There has been introduced into con-
gresS bill changing the title of our min
listers abroad to ambassadors. The mat
ter may seem trivial one. but looked
at from diplomatic point of view it is
one of considerable Importance.
1t seems that according to usage
abroad ambassadors are given preced-
enee in social life over all diplo-
mats of lower rank. even though the
ambassador may represent fOurth-rate
country and the minister tirSt-rate ma
ton. \ case in point is with reference
TO this country and Spain. As to their
relative Importance there can be but
one opinion; yet at the English or any
other court the United States repre-
sentative must take his place almost at
the foot of the social or official line,
| while the ambassador from Spain goes
! up very near to the head.
By the simple changing of few
words congress can remedy all this and
can give the representatives of this
nation the place due them on accoun
of their country'S importance, and
through which public business will be
facilitated. So long as it is the policy
of this country to maintain diplomatic
corps. it ought as we'll do its part to &C
cord it all the honor and dignity pos
Sible. But as matter of fact the diplo-
| matte service is more an ornamental
than useful appendage of the govern
ment. 1t has never yet performed serv-
ice worthy of its hire.
A much better plan would be to send
abroad special commissioners whenever
| it might be desirable to treat with
foreign governments. But If the present
system is to be maintained it ought to
be maintained decently.-

Bill of Particulars Wanted.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
The editorial in the Pioneer Press OF
Wednesday reminds me of its position
before and after the nomination of
Blaine. Before the convention met no
paper could have said more against his
being a candidate of the g. o. p, bat
after his nomination no paper was more
Serylie in its advocacy of his election.
The editorial above referred to seems
to have been written under the effects
of an unusually severe attack of the
spleen. and shows OH its face such a
disregard of the known facts of PreSi-
dent Cleveland's administration that a
few words may not be out of place OIL
the other side of this subject. 1t is well
known that when Lincoln first went
into Office he made clean sweep of all
government officials. l take Lincoln's
first term as comparison because it is
the only one in which parties have
changed places during the last few years.
Up TO the end of the last fiscal year
only two-thirds of all officials have been
changed, the remainder of the G. o. p.
% still in possession. During the pres
ent administration civil service reform
has gone into effect III all of the depart
ments at Washington and in the pOstof-
fees in New York, Boston and other
large cities, The same may be said of
the custom houses in the same cities.
This OfitSelf has done more to purify
politics than has ever been done by all
Republican presidents.
The yetoes of the Texas seed bill,
river and harbor job, dependent pen
sion bill and various other pension and
other jobs, to say nothing of the last
message to congress, has shown above
all other things that President Cleve-
land is an honest, upright and fearless
executive, such as we have not had
since Lincoln, and although he has
made errors. it cannot be claimed that
he has not made over 80 per cent less
errors than any of his recent predeceS-
Sors. If the presidents actions have
not shown lncOntestibly that they were
based on disregard of reelection, [
think it will be found that at least -
per cent of them will bear no other in-
depreciation.
If the Pioneer Press will give up its
general condemnation aud come down
to facts and give us bill of particulars,
/ will endeayor to give counter bill
that may open the eyes even of that pa

New York Democrats

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 26.-The corri-
dors of the Delavan are crowded this
morning with Democratic politicians
discussing the programme for this after
noOn's session of the Democratic state
committee, which is fixed for 2:30
o'clock. Owing to the storm the New
York city members of the committee
had not arrived at the hour set for the
meeting, so recess was taken until 6
o'clock. The administration faction
seem to be backing w. H. Murtha for
national committee man and the Hill
forces are advocating the selection of
Roswell z. Flower. 1t is acknowledged
that Tammany hall and the county De-
mocracy hold the key to the situation.
At IL p. m. the Democratic state COM
mittee adjourned sine die, without hay
ing made choice of state member of
the national committee.
Resolutions favoring New York city
and Saratoga for holding the national
convention were voted down.
