St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1888-12-25

The Minneapolis evening papers will
give a rest to-day to their tired en-
plOyes. likewise to a tired public.
Yesterday was passed over by the
board of trade without word, good.
bad or indifferent. on the subject of the
new ballet at the Peoples theater.
Surely, the board is III its dOtage.
1t is observed that William Henry
Eustis has probably grown weary of
telling Minneapolis people what to do;
but he is now trying his prentice
han . on ST. Paul.
The Star contains the announcement
that W. S. Washburn is practically out
of the senatorial race. On "Wednesday
it will reach the conclusion he never
was in the race, and by Jan. it will be
inquiring who is w. ID. Washburn. any
how?
Hennepin county will now bob up and
want every office in the gift of the legiS-
lature, or else the senatorship. IfWash-
burn is practically out of the race"
the hungry Hennepin horde" will have
no further cause for Self-immOlatlon on
the Wasbburn altar, and must have the
earth.
If Col. Thomas Lowry should find the
earth in his Christmas stocking this
morning no one in Minneapolis would
feel the least surprised.
New aldermen. with name and repu-
tatlOn to make, were not seen Oh the
streets last night. A careful canvass
was made, and every one OF them was
found at home, drawing up new snow
ordinance.
In its reasons why the Washburn SEN
atOrial canvass is mistake, the Star
says: I'm the fourth place he has made
the irreparable mistake of cntruSting
the conduct of the details of
his campaign to inexperienced
and untried men-to those who
are, comparatively speaking, unknown
and unlnfluential III the politics of
this state, thereby ignoring those who
have long been at the front, bearing, in
the heat of the day, the burdens of
political warfare. Who are these "un-
popularity supposed Senator ClOugh, E.
IL Hay and Col. Ed Davenport were
the Washburn managers. Ichabod!
Ichabod. The glory has indeed de-
parted from Judah,
The Journals grapevine is cont of
whack." Under a Nashville date it
speaks OF contest in the Illinois con-
greSSiOnal district made famous by the
presence of Horizontal Bill Morrison
and Jehu Baker.
Sam Morton has aa idea that if Al
Spalding does not own the earth, he at
least owns the Australasian continent.
1t was sublimely ridiculous to think
of getting together quorum of the po
lice commission on the day before
Christmas. Nothing but the board of
trade is equal to an occasion such as
that.
Judging from his swell appearance
yesterday. the Z. 2. Weaden overceat
fund must have reached successful
elimination.
The wicked and the inebriates will
stand III slippery places to-day, so fall
is necessary to your reputation.
The man who went against Christmas
lust for kid is in the throeS of
bankruptcy.
The baby was king yesterday.
The meaneSt man in town was yester-
day brought to realize just how mean
he was.
According to the headlines in a local
paper, Golden Valley and Crystal May
Be United" Gold and crystal make a
very pretty combination about the time
of holiday gifts.
Talk about election The man who
survives Christmas is something of a
dandy, of the jim Crow variety.
Rain storm and snow storm is COM
bnation that greeted Christmas buyers
yesterday.
Andrew Rinker last evening pre-
Sentcd his eldest son with a set of jack
straws. Pull 'em out carefully, my
SON." said he. land perhaps you may
succeed me, if enough Democrats are
left TO create a respectable opposition
to my policy"
The GLOBE notices that its young
friend, Jay Newton Mind, is taking an
active part as member of the board of
trade. By the way, the gentleman's
name is pronounced as if spelled Nynd,
with the accent upon the Y.
A skating horror is the latest remind
er that the wicked stand OH slippery
places. If the catastrophe had hap
pened on any other day moralists would
nave been robbed of their argument.
