WARNING TO LIND.

The resolutions passed by the Farm
ers' Alliance of the Second district
LIND's district-denunciat of that
gentleman's opposition to relief from
burdenSome taxation as promised by the
MILLS bill, will be very pleasant read
ing indeed for the Second district coll
gresham.
He will then no doubt recognize pre-
cisely what the GLOBE has been trying
to point out to him, that he is being false
to the trust repOsed in him, and that
such is the sentiment Of the people of
his district. Doubtless Mr.. LIND had
been cherishing the idea that he was
deluding the voters of his district with
the specious plea that he was protecting
their interests. 1t happens, however,
that those voters know what they want
better than does Mr.. LIND.
They have now given him to under
stand very clearly their desires, and
his continuance in course directly Op-
posed to them can be construed in no
other way than willful opposition. He
has been informed that the people of
the Second district don't want the kind
of protection he dogmatically alleges to
be good for them, but do want the relief
which he seems disposed to use his ut
most endeavors in denying them.
If, after this plain marking out of the
road, Mr.. LIND refuses to take it, he
will find it very difficult to convince the
hard-headed voters of his district that
the charges regarding his monopolistic
tendencies are not we'll founded.
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-03-27
A LIQUOR INVESTIGATION.

The prominence the liquor question is
assuming is indicated by the bill just
passed by the senate providing for the
establishment of commission to inveS-
tigate the effects of the alcoholic liquor
traffic. The bill provides for commits
sion to consist of five members, to be
appointed by the president and to be
confirmed by the senate, who shall be
selected solely with reference to per-
sonal fitness and capacity, and who
shall hold Office until their duties shall
be accomplished, but not to exceed two
years. The duties of the commission,
as defined in the bill, are to investigate
the alcoholic liquor traffic, its rela-
tiOnS to revenue and taxation and
its general economic, criminal,
moral and scientific aspects in
connection with pauperism, crime, so
cial vice, the public health and general
welfare of the people; and also ito in
quire and take testimony as to the prac-
tical results of license and prohibitory
legislation for the prevention of intem-
perance in the several states of the
Union.
1t is hardly possible that commits
sion Of this kind will be able to throw
any more light on this question than has
already been shed. Everything in the
way of statistical information has al
ready been gathered and compiled, and
treatise after treatise has been written
on the subject. But it is possible that
the report of a commission appointed
under government authority will have
more influence in the way of shaping
future legislation than all that has been
yet said OF done.

The Professor viii STAY.

Prof. John III. Clark, the we'll known
pugilist, who has won numerous belts,
medals and cups through his ability as
a miGdle-weight, is meeting with splen-
did success in his conducting the box
ing school over the Jockey club on East
Seventh street. He grew very homesick
last week and was on the point of
going back to Philadelphia, but extra
inducements were offered him by well
known business men of st. Paul and he
concluded to stay. Some of st.
Paul's leading society ladies watch
the professor box and teach his
pupils three times week and sew
eral of them are taking boxing
lessons of him. 1t is related that one
married man in st. Paul used Prof.
Clark as a convenience. He stayed
down town late at night and told his
wife that he was taking lessons from
Clark. He neglected to post Clark,
and when the wife called on the
professor, the snap was given away.
She took lessons secretly, and when the
husband came home late one night, he
saw stars of different hues. The pro-
fessor's rooms are light, nicely fur
nished and in excellent shape.

THE BLAINE PUZZLE.

Mr.. BLAINE is veritable old man of
the mountain TO the Republican party.
He Is mystery that they can't solve,
and apparently an incumbrance that
they can not get rid Of. just as the
party had made UP its mind to renomi-
nate him, and preparations were being
made to give his homecoming in June
the character of triumphaI march
across the continent, here came his let
ter declining the nomination and upset
ting everything.
1t required a second declaration from
. Mr.. BLAINE to convince his party that he
was in earnest. and the party had hardly
got settled in the comfortable conviction
that it was rid of the embarrasSments
of Mr.. BLAINE's candidacy when the
news flashes across the country that
BLAlNE's confidential friends and ad-
Visers are holding secret meetings in
Philadelphia for the purpose of pre-
pairing plan to spring him on the party
again.
Mr.. BLAINE is nothing if not dra-
matte, and it is altogether within the
range of probability that his recent con-
duct has been shaped with a view of
working up startling situations and a
sensational ensemble in his candidacy.
There are perhaps no three men in this
country more fully in Mr.. BLAINE's
confidence than Mr. CHILDs. Mr.
DEPEw and Chairman JONES. Mr..
DEPEw gives it out in cold type that
Mr. BLAINE is the only Republican who
