A Good Republican Gone.

A Good Republican Gone.
A telegram received at this Office last
evening too late for yesterdays issue
announces the death, at Laredo yester-
day 1T $3.50 a. M, of Col. John l..
Haynes. Col. Haynes was one OF the
lights of the republican party in Texas.
He was identified with the party of the
union from the beginning OF lite exist
ence, and when that union was periled,
raised a regiment of Texans and ten
dered his services to the United States
government. At the close of the war he
interested himself deeply in the affairs
of the state, and with such men as the
Hamilton's. Pease, Bell, and 9th.
ers of that stamp. He was
several times elected to serve
his district in the state legislature
and could always carry the Rio Grande
border against any nominee that the
democratic party could bring into the
field. Defeated for congress by the
senior Degener, though his friends al
ways claimed his election, Col. Haynes,
from that date until the accession of
Cleveland, held prominent federal po-
sition. Had he lived he would have en-
tered the list against Grain as candidate
for congress from the shoe string dis
trict, and would have made winning
race against that white haired boy OF
the democratic party. Col. Haynes was
the ablest man OF his party in
the state at the time of his
death. Though upwards of seventy
years he was intellectually keen and
possessed a we'll balanced mind, a very
mature judgment. An orator in the
general acoeptatiOn of the term, and
naturally Of retiring disposition Col.
Haynes was often in the back ground
when men Of much less merit and more
cheek had pushed their way to the front.
In the death Of Col. John L. Haynes the
republican party in Texas has lost one
of Its oldest. ablest and most trusted
leaders. Never were his councils more
in demand than in the present exigency,
when the recovery Of the party from the
hand of misrule is 80 urgently de-
manded

CARNIVAL is OVER.

The Carnival is now over, and not
withStanding the adverse condition of
the weather the last three or four days,
the results are satisfactory. Many of
the features this year were new and at
tractive, and all of them most success
fully carried out. The influx of visit
orS has been unusually large, the rail
road companies reporting that the
through travel has been greater this
Carnival season than at any former
time, which is evidence that the city
has entertained more visitors from a
distance than ever before. In some re-
spectS the local enthusiasm was not as
apparent as in former years. This is
easily accounted for by the fact that the
novelty of the Carnival has worn off
with our own people. While the thing
was new there was an excitement about
it which fascinated people. The condi-
tons were somewhat reactionary this
year so TAR as an ebullition of local en-
thusiaSm went; still there was no abate-
ment of public-spiritedneSs nor of the
public disposition to contribute every
thing essential to make the Carnival a
success.
In this connection it is proper to make
public recognition especially of the
services rendered by the members of
the various Carnival clubs. They
turned out at every call and i'll all sorts
of weather. 1t didn't make 4 bit of diff
ference whether the thermometer was
so deg. below zero or 20 deg. above, nor
did they stop to think whether they
would have to march over the ice-paved
streets or through SluSh a foot deep;
when the command was given to march
they went right ahead. Their work was
entirely voluntary, and such an exhibit
ton Of Self-abnegation i'll promoting the
success of public cause merits the
highest commentator. All honor to
the Carnival clubs of St. Paul.

THE MURDER GOES ON.

1t is practically impossible, by the
very nature of things, TO arrive at any
definite idea of the number of railway
brakemen who are literally murdered
every year by the system of car-cOupling
now in use; but it is known that the
number is in the hundreds. The matter
is one to which the public's attention
has been called very often in the past,
and to whose Importance it is gradually
awakening. 1t is beginning to recognize
the fact that a human life is jeOpardiZed
every time two cars are coupled to-
gether by the present link and pin
coupling.
So general, in fact, had this impress
sion become that when the master car
builders, at their annual session in
Minneapolis last summer, recommended
a particular kind of automatic device
for coupling cars, which was supposed
to do away with all danger to life, there
was general feeling of relief. The
newspapers ceased their TRADES, the
people rested content and the murder
went Oh. For we learn from the last
number of the brakemen'S official organ
that on not single railroad in
the United States has the auto
matte coupler been adopted despite the
recommendation Of the Minneapolis
convention. 1t would cost good deal
of money, of course, to equip cars with
the automatic coupler, and the railroads
have no money TO spend when the OBJ
iect is merely the preservation of the
lives of employees.
But public sentiment, when thor
oughly aroused, is something which
even an arrogant railroad corporation
can not afford to treat with contempt
That was shown very clearly when the
railroads were forced to do away with
the deadly car stove. 1t should now
exert itself in the matter in behalf of
the brakemen, who are unable to help
themselves; and the law. so far as
possible. should aid it. 1t is monstrous
that the murder should be permitted to
go on when methods exist whereby it
might be checked.

MEN WHO TALK.
Hon. L. Ill. Kelly.

Hon. p. III. KELLY-lt is only ques-
ton of a few days now, and the location
of the meeting place of the next Demo-
cratic convention to nominate presi-
dent of the United States will be deter
mined. No doubt the Republicans
would like to stir up a SQuab6le in our
ranks as to the candidates, and this is
about the milk in the cocoanut of the
reported contest between President
CLEVELAND and Gov. HILL. So far as
the work of the convention in the mat
ter of a presidential nomination is con-
cerned, do not think more than two
days will be consumed, but when it
comes to making selection for the
second place on the ticket we may have
more difficulty in coming to an agree
ment. There will also be less
to wrangle over in regard to a
platform than ever before in the
history of the Democratic party, since
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, i'll his recent
message, has enunciated doctrine
which both political parties have talked
about for years. We cannot do better
than to follow such leader, and it is
my opinion that the thinking Democrats
of this country entertain the same Senti-
ment. AS for the place of holding the
convention, that is of secondary impor-
lance, but the city that offers the best in
ducements and facilities for entertain
ing the delegates will be chosen by the
national committee, without regard to
what Gov. Hill. or anybody else de-
SlreS. L shall leave for Washington in
about a week, and after a conference
with my associates on the committee |
Will be i'll better position to Judge as
to the most eligible and desirable con-
ventiOn city.

DRAMATIC DRIFT.

Carnival week was good one for the
theaters. AT the Grand CLARA MORRIS
and MINNIE MADDERN proved winning
attractions, while the Mormon Queens
entertained the Olympic patrons. Miss
NORRIS has improved in health greatly
since she was here three years ago, and
still retains her supremacy in the emo
tional school of acting. This was Miss
MADDERN'S first visit to st. Paul, but
Judging from the way in which she won
popular favor, it will not be her last.
The attraction at the Grand all of this
week, including Saturday matinee.
will be HANLON'S ''Fantasma," a spec
tacular performance, which has been
seen here before and which has always
been popular. The play has been re-
viSed and will be presented this season
with many new features. Of the new
scenes, one of the most sensational is
a submarine scene representing the bot
tom of the sea with its marine monsters
and divers floating about.
~
A person looking in upon the audi
cnceS at the theaterS last week saw
great many strange faces, which goes
to prove that our Carnival visitors came
here to take in all the amuSementS. The
only two nights that the opera house
was not filled were the night of the
street masquerade and the night the ice
castle was StOrmed. Last year MAGGIE
MITCHELL played here during Carnival
week, and every night after her per-
fOrmanceS she went out and had a tObOg-
gan slide. In consequence she became
a great favOrite with the Carnival clubs
and was made an honorary member of
nearly every club i'll the city. CLARA
NORRIS is lacking in the buOyant spirits
which distinguish MAGGIE MITCHELL.
All she saw of the Carnival was to drive
up to the ice palace one afternoon and
pronounced it to be very beautiful. 1t
was big admission for Miss NORRIS to
make, but she had to do it.

ROSE CoGHLAN has Cancelled her en-
gagement with Mr.. ABBEY because he
assigned her part in new play that
she didn't like. 1t cost Mr. ABBEY

SUMMER REFRIGERATION.

During the long and chilling winters
we keep Our houses at comfortable
temperature by means of warm air from
a central reservoir of heat. No matter
how the tempest RACES and the mercury
OScillateS, we are enabled to maintain a
regularity of heat which enables us to
defy the cold.
But when the summer comes and the
furnace is closed, our domestic require
mentS are entirely of an opposite kind.
Then the fierce sun beats down, and the
unprotected house by necessity glows
like huge furnace itself, while the oc-
cupants swelter inside. Why, then,
should there not be relief from the heat
of summer as well as from the cold of
winter through the exercise of mans
mechanical ingenuity? The problem of
summer refrigeration of our houses
ought not to be difficult one. Every
housekeeper practices it on a small
scale with her ice box or refrigerator.
Nature. particularly in this locality,
has furnished that which will take the
place of the winters fuel, an abundance
of ice. In every house where furnace
exists means of utilizing ice, which is
vastly cheaper than fuel, exists also.
Almost any competent sanitary engineer
ought to be able to construct a central
ice reservoir to take the place of the
furnace in the summer time, and from
which, through the pipes already in
place, cold air from the melting ice
could be driven, by the proper arrange
ment of draughts, fast enough to main
tain the temperature of the entire house
at a refreshingly low degree.
The difficulties are no greater than
those which encounter hot-air heating,
and the resulting comfort would be
nearly as great. In not a few large
buildings summer refrigeration is al
ready successfully carried on. Who
will be the first to win fame and fortune
by adapting it to the needs Of every
hOuSphOldp

Cable Construction Company, New
YOrk-One of the most valued souvenirs
that | shall take away from st. Paul is
a patent of nobility conferred upon me
by BOREAIIS REX, creating me Duke of
Gotham. Since my arrival in this city,
about three and One-half months ago,
have checked out $500, GOO Oh account of
the building of the cable road, and it
was, probably, knowledge of this fact
that induced his majesty to enroll me
among his favored subjects. My OBJ
jective point is Omaha, to look after cable
interests, and from there | will go to In
dianapolis, where we are building a road,
and thence to Chicago to make an in
vestigatiOn of the operation of the sys-
tenn now in position at that place. One
thing that have to say in parting with
the people of St. Paul is that they have
the best cable road in the United States,
and the future will Justify my assertion
in every particular. 1t has cost our
company a great deal of money, more
than we will receive any return for, but
we have made good job of it, and are

George q. CIaSOn,

GEORGE B. CLAsoN-While [ cannot
give the exact data, the business of the
Milwaukee and the other lines running
into st. Paul has never been excelled by
any occasion that preceded the Carnival
just ended. Chicago and Milwaukee
were the centerS from which the travel
radiated, and our receipts have been
very much greater than we had ever
anticipated. | do not recall anything
like it in the history of railroading in
the West, and not an accident occurred
to mar the record of the great railroads
that have connections at st. Paul. The
demand for sleeperS has also been un-
precedented, and for the past two weeks
four and five of these coaches have been
a necessity on all outgoing trains over
the road to which l belong, and this is
true Of the other roads as we'll: and the
number of people that we have carried
during the Carnival ran up into the
hundreds of thousands.

THE WOMAN sUFFRAGlsTs.

If woman suffrage ever was a live
issue in this country, it certainly is as
dead us Il herring these latter days.
Yet somehow or other the few woman
suffrage advocates who are left
over manage to keep themselves con-
spicuOusly before the public. Repeated
reverSeS have no discouraging effect
upon them. In fact, they seem to thrive
upon reverseS, or. at least, gain Suffi-
Gent vitality to keep their heads above
water. The latest reverse was in the
supreme court of Wisconsin, where
they had hoped to gain a foothOld
under cover of law which per-
united women to vote for school di-
rectors. They sought to stretch this
law by attempting TO vote in a munich
pal election because the mayor, who
was to be elected, had the appointment
of certain school officers. The election
Judges refused TO receive or count the
ballots that the dozen or two women
offered to hand in at the polls, and then
the women turned around and sued the
election judges because of an alleged
&privation OF political rights. There
aaS been a hot fight in the courts
ever the matter, but the supreme
court of the state has finally dis
passed of it by deciding that the poll
keepers were right and that q woman
has no inferential political privileges.
All she gets in that line is what the law
cOnfers in explicit and unmistakable
language. Or in other words, the doubt
* 4 rI,n
to vote. That is right. Political privi-
leges and political burthens should al
ways 90 hand i'll hand. If WON Ell are
entitled to vote and hold office, then
women should be required to
serve on jurieS and to do mill
tary service. And when the queS-
ton of woman suffrage comes
up in that shape it settles itself.
There are not many women who have
happy homes and the responsibilities of
rearing a family who would desire to
spend their time in jury box or fight
ing the battles of their country. 1t
doesn't need any extended argument to
convince the average woman that the
men are thoroughly competent to per-
form those duties. 1t is safe to say that
there isn't one woman out of thousand
who wants the ballot under any circum-
stance. In view OF this fact it becomes
an outrage that 4 handful of cranky
women should be permitted to annoy
and even prosecute men in the per-
Torrance of legal duty, as those Wis
cOnsin women did the election judges
in the case above referred to. There
ought to be some way to put stop to
such ridiculous proceedings.

Il. Ill. Niayfield,

l.. I'll. MAXFIELD-One good thing
that the Carnival accomplished was to
bring thousands of the customers of st.
Paul merchants to the city who prob
ably would not have been enabled to do
so but for the reduced rates of transport
tatlOn furnished by all the railroads.
business was given an impetus in all its
branches, and instead of selling on de-
Ginning market, as has been the case for
the past five years, the new year shows
everything taking an upward tendency;
sales for January, 1888, showing an in
crease of fully 45 per cent over a cor
responding period of last year. Another
feature that has been brought prOmi-
nently to our notice within the past fort
night is the fact that roads to the south
OF us that formerly carried trade to Chi
cagO have had it diverted to st. Paul,
and every day this becomes
more patent. With the recent reduc-
ton in the rates OF transportation
the outlook for business continuing
good in st. Paul was never more pro-
pitiOuS, and this is the opinion of the
most prominent OF our mercantile COM
munity. Still, think it would be adj
vlSable for us to put Off the Carnival
say for a year OF two, and thus stimu-
late interest anew in the project. and
especially among our own people. dau
it not been fer the Carnival clubs many
of our professions would have been
failures, but it is getting to be an old
story with many OF us, and the novelty
has worn off. We must have some at
traction to make the winter pass, how
ever, for there is no question that these
Carnivals rebound to the benefit of St.
Paul, and during the coming year we
will have to consider some new features
that will attract not only our own peO-
pie, but tourists from abroad.
