nonsense to talk about men who have
worked on the Reading or other sys.
tens not being able to run an engine In
this part of the United States. To be
sure, they may require a few days to
become acquainted with localities, but
of their ability there can be no ques-
tlon, owing to the practice they
have obtained In threading in and
out of the multitude of switches that
line every single and double track In
the East. No one questions the rightof
any engineer or other employe to leave
the service of corporation if he Is dis
satisfied, but there should be law to
prevent body of men striking for a
whim or caprice and jeopardiZing the
mercantile interests of the country: for
such would the result OF refusal by

haul freight or passengers between the
commercial centers of the East and
West, and thus work inealculable in

So far as the Northern Pacific road is
concerned, there is no trouble with its

cause the traffic over that line is merely
the continuation of work inaugurated

tween it and the Chicago, Burlington 10

SULLIVAN sCoTCHED.

There is moisture in the American
eye, and Bunker Hill monument is
draped in Grape. The cause of our ma
tional lamentation is that JOHN L. SUI
LIvAN didn't lick MITCHELL according
to promise. And we may truthfully
add that there is many an American
pocketbook in shaky condition be-
cause of the result.of the mill yesterday
on the fair fields of vine-clad France.
The Mr.. SULLIVAN who has been the
cause of our national humiliation is the
favorite son of Boston. He has been
going to and fro through the earth
for a great many years, taking
gate receipts as the spoils of
his muscular ability. He has bullied
people, and BACKED their eyes for them,
and slapped their jaws, and knocked
them down, and trampled upon their
PROSTATE forms until, without any more
ado about it, the whole nation rose up
as one man and proclaimed JOHN L. to
be the CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. In
his own peculiar way, and as sort of
seal to the royal letters patent which
an awe-stricken nation had conferred
upon him, the worlds champion dotted
his own wife's eye and knocked a poor
little Boston newsbOy into kingdom
come. Having thus secured his Suprem-
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1888-03-11

acY as a pugilist in his own country, Mr..
SULLIVAN crossed the broad Atlantic
and threw down challenge to the
GoLIATHs of the old world to meet him
in combat. The result is told in our.
cablegram this morning.
1t is true, as saving clause in favor
of our national pride, the referee did
not declare that Mr.. SULLIVAN was
licked. But, what is worse, he didn't
lick the other fellow. Boston hackers
of JOHN l.. had put up $4,000 that by
the tenth round Mr.. SULLIVAN would
be hopping the earth with what was
left of Mr.. MITCHELL. The fight came
off, the tenth round was reached and
finished with Mr.. MITCHELL slightly
disfigured, but still in the ring. a n7
other ten rounds were fought, and still
MITCHELL refused to bow to the mai.
esty of American muscle. BOstOhss
$4,000 was now gone out of sight, and
a good deal more of good American
stuff had disappeared with it. 1mpend-
ing bankruptcy stared America in
the face, when On the thirty-ninth
round MITCHELL turned up in more
clipper condition than he had
yet exhibited, and the immpr-
tai j. L., like the needle attracted
to the pole, trembled into place. OF
course it wouldn't do for us to say that
the referee was an American sympa-
thizer, but if he had been he couldn't
have done us better service than to
declare it draw at the end of that
round.

fight ANYWAY

DRAMATIC DRIFT.

While EFFIE ELLsLER'S performances
at the Grand last week were not marked
by any peculiar strength, they were OF a
most pleasing character and gave salts
faction to fair audiences. Her Ia
mile" was probably the strongest OF the
weeks repertoire. After seeing her In
egypt" one feels regret that the little
woman does not content herself with
playing bright soubrette parts, instead
of aspiring to an impossible perfeetion
in strong emotional acting, and partlcu-
larly in parts for which nature has not
designed her.
The much talked-of sArabian Nights"
will be the attraction at the Grand all OF
this week. 1t is a spectacular bur-
lesuue designed by Capt. ALFRED
THOMPSON, who has made reputation
in this class of work and who is &C
knowledged to be superior stage
decorator. The music of the piece was
arranged by JENNIE WILLIAMS, OF the
New York Casino, and DAZIER. OF New
York. manufactured the costumes. The
scenery is the product of the Chicago
opera house, where the play was first
put on and had a run of $50 consecutive
nights, the aggregate receipts being re-
ported at something over sl'o'ooo'
"Arabian Nights" is founded OH the
story of ALADDIN's wonderful lamp, and
may be described as an English Christ
mas pantOmime without the harlequin.
AIDE which is always an appendage or
the English holiday attraction. Inc
spectacular features are the most proml-
nent. although it has something of the
humor and nuick action OF 'AdOnis"
and the musical ring of "Evangeline."
There is ballet of twenty-five, led by
Mile. DORsT and M. ORESTE, and a
chorus of forty voices. The most thrill
ing feature of the performance is said
to be a steam or vap0r curtain.
The dolls quadrille is terpsichorean
novelty. The cast contain number of
well known stage people
Next week there will be refreshing
touch of the legitimate at the Gralida
After long season, principally OF
spectacular and comedy burlesque per-
fOrmances, it will be genuine gratIfl.i
cation to see the legitimate done by
such eminent actors as LOUIS JAMES
and MARIE WAINWRIGHT. Their roper
toire will include ''Virginius," s'Ham!,
let" Gretchen" "a new version OF.

MIR. HURD's SPEECH.

This country has never produced an
ADLER or more fearless advocate of free
trade and toilers' rights than Hon.
FRANK HURD. And what is more, MI.
HURD has been a conscientious advO-
cate of free trade doctrines, for if he
hadn't been and had consented to mod
ify his views ever so little. he might
have gone to congress for life from the
Toledo district. But he preferred con-
sistency to officeholding.
While even many tariff refOrmers
might not indorse all that Mr.. HURD
said in his Market hall speech last night,
there were so many truths presented,
and in such solid chunks. no one who
is an honest advocate of tariff reform
and tax reduction will be seriously dis
posed to take issue with him on any of
the several propositions he laid down.
His speech was argumentative through
out and his points well fortified with
illustrations of so plain and practical a
nature that the truth was carried directly
home to the large audience in attend
ance. There was no one present, no matter
IL uc Was oil uIiCGGcIcu uldii, VIII ldllCu
to comprehend the operations of the
tariff as it was explained by the story of
the blacksmith who wished to buy a
new hat. 1t was one of these homely
illustrations which, like Judge MAC
DoNALD's pitchfork story, exposed the
iniquity of the protective system SO
strongly that the simplest mind could
comprehend that it was system which
robbed the laborer of one-half of his
honest earnings to be put in the pocket
of some favored manufacturer.
Mr.. HURD's explanation of how pro-
tective tariff reduces the purchasing
power of agricultural products is worthy
the attention of our Northwestern
farmers. If persisted in the final result
of protection will be, as Mr.. HURD dem
onstrates, to reduce the farmers to a
condition of beggary even in the midst
of plenty. Their lands may yield golden
harvests in abundance, but there will
be no profit to the farmer, because he is.
practically shut out from the markets
of the world.
