CHIT CHAT CORNER.

boxes throughout the city needn't feel
surprised if these articles fail to reach
their destination. This was fully eX-
emplifed last Monday during the storm,
when the wind played sad havoc with
such matter. Papers could be seen fly
ing in all directions, many of them float
ing in the cutters. The superintendent
of mails requests that all bulky matter
be taken to the postoffice, and not be
banked up around the lamp-posts.

E. II. Wood-It's pretty difficult to
say what ought to or what will be done
by the Democracy of this city and
county. Some have suggested that a
private meeting of the two factions
should be called to consider whether or
not affairs cannot be compromised, and
if so, what steps should be taken to
bring about a settlement. 1t seems to
me that there would be no difficulty in
accomplishing in this way all that could
be desired. Mr.. SchefferS letter elimi-
mated from the complications all that
was vital. There is, therefore, no rea-
son why matters should not be settled
and everything rendered harmonious.

Fifteen or eighteen years ago George
w. Moore was one of the most promi-
-nent and successful workers in the Re-
publican party. He was found yester-
day afternoon at the Merchants hotel,
and on being Intercepted as to the Dem
ocratic disturbance in Ramsey county
remarked: "Ol that is not much of
fight, and not half as big as it was eX-
pected to be. When Mr.. Scheffer stepped
out he left the factions nothing to quar-
rel about. Of course, the city hall peO-
pie. having been robbed of their file
leader, felt chagrined and mortified
while the other side rejoiced and waXed
patriotic. 1t may not be just and right,
but Mr.. Doran has the position, and he
will make the most of il. l don't appre-
bend that anything serious will come out
of the fight, despite gesticulations and
threatS.''
''HOw do you stand on the TARIFF"
asked GLOBE representative of ex-
Railroad Commissioner Murdoch last
evening. "Just the same as | have for
many day." he replied. 'How will
you vote?" ''Fll wait until learn how
the senate acts on the Mills BILL" Mr..
Murdoch answered, naively. "There
are great many things in the Mills
BILL" he continued, (which l would
vote for, but do not think it is alto
gether just bill. 1t is sectional in its
effect. Still, it is much better than
nothing"
James King-I am sorry to see this
rumpus in the Democratic ranks, for if
ever harmony was necessary it is just
now. We can elect our candidate for
governor if we pull together. Mime
sofa is Republican state, and to carry it
for the Democracy requires concentra-
ton of effort. Merriam will surely be
the Republican candidate, and being a
very popular man, will make good run.

Dispatches received at the Manitoba
and the Northern Pacific offices, from
large number of points on each line,
represent that the crop prospects con-
tinue to improve. The weather at most
of the points is very favorable and the
storms that have visited this part of the
country were local, and did not extend
up into the wheat belt. AS general
thing the weather through the Red
river valley is cool and the atmosphere
dry, just what is required to ripen the
crops. People who have arrived in
town from that section, and from along
the Northern Pacific, say that nothing
is to be feared now except hail storms,
and harvesting will commence in few
days.
People who stood around the corner
of Fourth and Wabasha streets all
through the day yesterday with faces as
long as fiddle, and distress written all
over them. hadn't lost their best friend,
bet OH the ST. Paul Base Ball club, been
shaken by their best girl,or asked, us it
hot enough for you?" Oh. no, not any
of these. They had taken the Lafay-
cite avenue car at Sixth and Wabasha
streets, dropped their nickelS into the
box and alighted moment later at
Fourth street in the predicament de-
scribed. The Lafayette avenue cars
only run as far as the court house now.

st. Paul provides an excellent field
for business men of an enterpriSing
tEn, and it is somewhat surprising that
the splendid opportunities afforded
should not be more eagerly taken up.
Yesterday two separate parties visited
the city preparatory to forming COM
panies for the opening of glass factory
and introducing some special apparatus
for the disposal of sewer gas. Secretary
Tallmadge, of the chamber of commerce,
says; 1--WE are in need of cordage
factory, WOODEN factory, iron works and
a tannery. There is fine opening for
each and all of these enterprises"
a few weeks ago a party of enter
prising Michiganders started a tobacco
factory in this this city, and are cutting
1900 pounds of tobacco daily, making a
speciality of brand known as the Seal
of st. Paul.

1t has become unsafe to make rest
ing place of telegraph pole that has
wire wound around its base. Several of
them were charged with electricity yes
terday from some source, and to touch
the wires meant severe shock. Moth
ing serious, but strong enough to make
man wish he had left them alone. In
New York men have been killed by
shocks from the wires wound around
the base of electric light or telegraph
poles. In fact they are dangerous
things to trifle with.
