EFFECT OF THAT CIRCULAR.
What the "Voice" Says Mr.. Har-
riSOn Talks.


risOn Talks.
The recent remarkable circular of
Harrison, Harrington & Co., in behalf of
prohibition, has attracted general atten-
ton and has widely advertised that firm,
whether it be for good or bad. The
daily papers of the country are COM
menting upon it and the class papers
praiSing it. The New York Voice, in
whose behalf the effort was largely
made, printed the circular in full and
comments editOrially to the extent of a
column and half. In it's introduction
it says:
The members of this Minneapolis firm
are enthusiastic PrOhibitioniStS, and it
is a coincidence that they became ell
listed in the cause at the time when the
high license and anti-SalOOn Repub-
licanism were first urged as Republican
party measures in Minnesota. When
the national w. CT. U. convention was
held in Minneapolis in the fall of 1886,
Hugh Harrison was converted to prOhi-
bitlOn by speech of Mrs. LathrOp.
George Harrison and his mother, both
ardent Republicans, attended a Repub-
lican meeting addressed by Mrs. j.
Ellen Foster, called to neutralize the
effects of the prohibition meeting held
the day before, land the contrast between
RepublicaniSm and prohibition was to
their minds so much to the disadvantage
of the former that they became PrOhi-
bitionists. George Harrison has since
then spent great deal of time solicit
ing subscriptions for prohibition papers.
Hugh Harrison was made treasurer of
the Minnesota State Prohibition COM
mittee last November. The father of
these young men is president of the Sc
pOrtant financial Institution of Mime
apolis, and was once mayor of the city.
Its editorial comment concludes with
the following:
''By the side of such an issue as this
and such herOism daily appearing in its
advocates, how trivial appear the Or
binary issues of politics and the Ordi-
nary motives of politicians The tariff
where do you find men ready to
jeOpardiZe their property and their lives
in behalf of the tariff? Herein lies a
sure test of the genuineness of an issue
what sacrifices are its advocates will
ing to make for it? There was time
when men were ready to endanger
property, reputation, social standing
and life itself in the cause of freedom
for the black men. But who among those
who are Haunting the bloody shirt to-
day are ready to make sacrifices of any
or all of these things for their alleged
issue? Is it Mr.. Foraker or Mr.. Sher-
man? And where are the martyrs for
high licenSe?"
Hugh Harrison was asked by GLOBE
reporter yesterday what effect the cir
cular has had. He smiled. eve have
received many letters, and some of them
scolded me frightfully, but some were
very kind. don't know whether our
business will be injured or not, and that
did not enter into our calculations. If
our business is to be sacrificed in the
good cause, so be it."

a time as possible lovers of curling will
also be accommodated with quarters
where they can practice the game of the
"canny Scotch" to their hearts content.
Lovers of skating, and the names of the
votarieS of this sport in Minneapolis
are legion. in Central park have fine
chance to practice the graceful curves,
the magical figuring, adopts in this
pedal art have been known to accom-
plish. The ice in the park is in splen-
did condition and a comfortable warm
ing house is provided for the accommo-
datiOn of ladies'. Private toboggan and
snOwshOe clubs are being formed all the
time in the city; already she can boast
two whose reputation for size and hos
pitality is reaching out beyond
merely local name. The CreS-
cent club with splendid quarters at
Chicago avenue and Seventeenth street

cOnvenienceS of the latest design, and
is composed of the junior members of
the elite of Minneapolis society. The

point OF numbers and elegance of their
resort, which is conveniently situated at
RidgewOOd. This past week this club
entertained the members of the "Gypsy
Baron" opera troupe in right royal
style, and those bewitching crea-
lures, the corps de ballet, the fairies of
the light fantastic scenes, will carry
away with them the most tender, pleas
ant memories of SnOW-clad Minnesota
and the enhancing delights of toying
with the giddy tObOggan slide.

carried the party to local success; and
there, also, have been heard several
fierce and heated discussions of party
plans and issues.
THE CLUB QUARTERS
are very handsomely fitted up and are
the most commOdious political club
rooms in the state and Northwest. The
entire floor is occupied, the stairway
opening into corridor or reception hall,
giving egreSS to the several rooms. On
the left front is the assembly hall, with
platform and chairs, easily seating the
club membership, now about 200. Adj
joining on the front and connecting with
arge folding doors are the par
orS, which can, when necessary,
be thrown into one large hall. The
parlOrS are luXuriantly carpeted and
draped, and the furniture and upholS-
tering are rich and comfortable. POr-
traits of President Cleveland and other
prominent party men adOrn the walls.
AT the left rear, is the large, brilliant
hall, with billiard and pool tables. A
cosy and handsomely fitted-up card
room adjOinS, and opening into it is
well arranged refreshment room. Cloak
rooms, lavatOry, closets and StOreroOms
make up the suite. The only drawback
is the want of an elevator to replace the
dark and dreary StairwayS which must
be climbed before the club rooms are
reached.

SCRAPS OF STORIES.

Many supplementary testimonials to
the worth and business integrity of the
late John Crosby are heard every day.
A short while before his sickness, Mr.
Crosby was talking with a GLOBE re-
porter in the Chamber of Commerce on
the subject of costly monuments. He
said:
II do not believe in them, as a rule,
and especially the glowing epitaphs in
scribed on marble placed by mans
own family. What nation may do is
different"

James Harrison, the genial stage man.
ager of the Peoples theater, can truly
be said to be man of parts. Since his
appearance on the stage in the Holiday
Street .theater at Baltimore, Sept. 8,
1853, he has become familiar with nearly
all the parts of the Standard plays sup
posed to compose the ''legit," and many
comedy. He first made his appearance
on the stage in the old Holiday Street
theater Sept. 3, 1858, as SUI
pernumary. Being the happy
possessor of a pair of well-rounded
calves and good presence, by dint of
study and application, rose so rapidly in
his profession, so that five years he was
one of the company that supported Ed
win Booth in his starring tour through
the South. Next, he went to New York,
and for two seasons played at the Win
ter Garden and at Barnum'S museum.
Since then he has been the leading man
for many of the most successful stars
and has played in every line of ''busi-
ness in the range of business since the
travelling combination system came in
vogue. He finally got tired of the road
and decided to make Minneapolis his
home. He is favOrite with the pa
irons of the Peoples and is a very
companiOnableg gentleman, either off or
on the stage. The only thing to be
said against him Is that he. assisted in
perpetrating Uncle Toms Cabin upon
this unsuspecting community during
the holidays.

ALGONQUIN BRAVES.

Organization.


Organization.
Until the summer of 1886 the Demo-
Gratis of Minneapolis were without any
permanent organization of politico-
social character. Their clubs sprang up
under the beneficent influence of the
sun of political campaigns and the we'll
springs of excitement, but died off again
when these were withdrawn. The idea
of organizing the Algonquin club origi-
mated with r. B. Forrest, and the first
meeting was called for the office of Jor-
dan q Forrest. The club scheme be-
came popular and the meeting at which
it was organized was held at the West
hotel. Algonquin was chosen as the
title, probably following the idea
OF Tammany and IrOquois, but
not until a committee had examined
and reported at length upon the defni-

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY,
A Bourbon War Cry That Will Not Serv'
in Eighty. Eight.

When the Democrats came into
power they made great show OF
economy by reducing the force in va
rious offices under the pretense that
there were more persons employed and
higher salaries paid than there ought
to be. Now, nearly all of them are
asking for increased clerical force and
increased salaries. The law requires
the Secretary of the Treasury to SUBJ
NIT to Congress. every two years. a
book of estimates of Government ex-
penditures for the next two years.
This is based on the requests and rec
concentrations of the heads of depart
ments. The estimates submitted to
this Congress show that nearly every
department official is asking for an in
crease of force and salaries. The Post
master-General says: 1.-THE salaries of
many officers of the department are
grossly inadequate and unfair" He
asks for several new officials and an
increase of salaries amounting to
$500 a year. The Secretary of the
Treasury, the different auditors, the
Comptro Ter of the Currency. the Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics, the Com
missioner Of Agriculture. and nearly
all the other heads Of bureaus ask for
an increase. In every case the salaries
are the same as those paid to Republican
officials which. for campaign effect,
were charged to be excessive. Where
additional clerks are asked for it is to
replace those discharged by the pres
ent Administration under the pretense
OF economy" That cry will not
serve next year. Gone to take its
place with Turn the rascals out" and
that other solemn appeal of the late
Thomas A. Hendricks, to open the
books. "-Indianapolis Journal

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2I-Thc executive
committee Of the Reading railroad en-
psoyes, after a secret session which lasted
several hours, decided early this morning
tn lift the great strike pending arbitra,
ton with the company. The five crews
over whom the trouble originated are to be
supported in the meantime by financial aid
from the employees This decision was
reached after conference with Super:n-
iendent Sweigard at his Office last night. The
committee then returned TO their meeting

hours discussion decided to submit their
case TO arbitration. In the afternoon mo-
ton had been carried 10 propose arbitration

ccmmitte, graciously and assured then
that such pan would be entirely agree
ahle TO the Reading railroad. There
were present fourteen members of the
committee, representing all sections of the
load. The decision Of the knights IN Read
ing yesterday not TO strike is supposed to
have had some influence upon the action of
the board. One of the committeeman said
this morning: I'VE decided that it would
he far better to pay the five striking crews
the ir wages rather than jeopardize so many
interests at this city. Mr.. Sweigard has
always treated us seuarely, and we feel
that we can trust him. All side issues will
be sunk and cniy the main point at issue

not yet agreed upon the time OF

at the convenience of both sides. but as
speedily as POSSIBLE We have sent tele-
grams to all our assemblies to resume
