ANDREW Jackson's courtship is said to
have been stormy one. The object of his
affections was Mrs. Robards, the divorced
wife of a worthless man, and complications
arose involving Jackson in scandal. He
indicated himself and wife in knightly
manner, and bravely defended the name of
his PLAN and simple lady.
WASHINGTON IRVING, in his early youth,
had longing to go to sea and be pirate.
He determined to make the attempt, but
wisely decided to prepare himself for 1t by

That made him sore. 1t was enough

Beecher had passed q quarter forward for
the lady and on receiving the change in an
envelope, took out five cents and dropped 1t
in the box, aud handed the lady the remain
der. Upon examining it she exclaimed:
1T is five cents short, sir. You have some
of the change" After moment Of embar-
rassment Mr.. Beecher handed her five cents
and said: "Allow me, madam, to correct the
mistake. I am very sorry" Before leaving
the car the lady learned whom she had ac-
cused of theft, and was overwhelmed with
ohagrin.

shots. The first fire was Intellectual, but on
the second, Clay's bullet pierced the folds OF
the white flannel wrapper which Randolph,
with his usual eccentricity, wore on the
field. Randolph fired in the air. and, adj
vancinr with extended hand, at the same
time showing the hole in his wrapper, he
shouted, in his shriil and piercing voice:

tended hand and shook it warmly. They
became fast friends from that time.

ed To-Day---Notes of the Campaign
Concerning ALI Parties.

The bomb thrown into the Republican
camp by the GLOBES expose of yester-
day morning created a decided sensa-
ton. 1t was universally conceded that
the Republican State Central commit
tee was not only getting decidedly
worsted, but that the committee must
have been indeed reduced TO desperate
straits, when it raised such senile cry.
A promenent Republican in the course
of a lengthy conversation, said:
81 was simply astOunded at the dis
closures made. 1t shows, in the first
place, by endeavoring to prove to what
desperate straits the opposition was re-
duced. the Republicans have simply
sounded the bugle call for retreat,
and that by the cry of corruption they
will endeavOr to stem the tide of an
honest vote. Their yell of forgery and
fraud is simply made with view of
hiding their own shortcomings"
The circular was generally regarded
as tacit admission that the Republic
ans were doing battle with waning
cause, which would in the fullnesS of
time give a creditable majority to the
Democratic nominee for governor. The
astute secretary of the Republican state
central committee recognized that MIN
nesota would possibly and probably
show balance upon the Democratic
side in November, and was endeavOring
to fruitlessiy stem the tide by such
futile methods as was shown by the eX-
pose of Yesterday

Another Disturbance by Street
Graders at the City Hall


There was more trouble in front of
the city hall yesterday afternoon be-
cause the graders on the Maryland av-
enue had not been paid their wages. A
crowd of them gathered there and be-
came somewhat demonstrative, althO'
no violence was used. The orig
inal contractors for the work failed,
and their hOndSman, NJ. Brueggeman.
undertook to finish the work 1t is al
legged that Brueggeman has been draw
ing the estimates allowed him by the
board of public works without paying
any of his men. The majority of the
graders are poor labOriDg men
and foreigners, who depend on
their wages for the suStenance
of their families. But they have not
been able to get any money, and their
grocery and other bills have been shut
off. The fOrman's name is GarIick, and
when it was proposed 10 divide $4,000
among them, Garlick. it is said, advised
them to accept nothing. unless they re-
ceived the entire amount. This they
did, and when the city attorney advised
them to take what was in sight, they,
or those who understood English. re-
fused to do so. After a consultation,
however, with some legal authority the
men concluded to take what they could
get, and will, consequently, be paid to-
day pro rata what has been allowed by
the board.

The Reform Democrats De-
cline TO Consider Themselves
Downed.
1t was stated last evening that the
''refOrm" Democrats had realized the
fruitlesSnesS of their ambitions, and
would, in accordance Herewith, with
draw either a whole or a part of their
county ticket. Talks, however,
with leading advocates of the
move showed that they still intended to
make fight, and as q matter of fact
had called a meeting of their county
committee for this evening, at which
time they will elect chairman and
take the initiatory steps towards Off
clally notifying their nominees.
The GLOBE publishes by request the
following resolutions. which were be-
fore recent meeting of ST. Paul Demo-
Gratis at the Grand opera house:
Resolved, That we declare in favor of re-
form methods in campaignng that we do
not expect that the candidates nominated by
this convention shall be required to sustain
the expenses of their canvass but we pledge
to them our earnest support and that a pOpu-
lar subscription shall be opened by the
county committee TO raise the funds neces-
sary to carry on thorough canvass for the
whole ticket.
Resolved. That we do not approve of a
campaign of the cumming sort $50 called,
but ask that there shall be a return to old
time methods of discussion, and the presenta-
ton of candidates to the public favor upon
their merits and upon the basis of the public
interests We instruct the several candidates
here nominated to follow these methods. and
to use their best efforts, not only for success.
but also 10 raise the general tone of local pol
iticS.
Resolved. That we condemn as upright
eOus. impolitic and undemocratic the action
of the legislature in taking from the people
the election of certain local officials and eX-
tending the terms Of certain other officials.
thus depriving the popular voice of its due
weight in the selection and approval as well
as the Just criticism of public servants.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
CoIored Men Should Act Indep en-


IDENTIFY.
A colored citizen who attended the
meeting at the court house Thursday
evening, remarked yesterday: There
is cOterie of colored men in this city
whose stock in trade is the grand old
party. They never tire of recOunting
its glorious deeds and what it has done
fer the colored man. l admit that the
Republican party was instrumental
through that great man, Abraham Lin
coin, in breaking the shackles of slavery
1t was a noble act and nObly have they
been repaid. We have followed that
party ever since for twenty-five long
years, never veeTing to right or left.
How long is this blind infatuation going
to last? How have we been rewarded
for our SteadfaStneSS? The negroes in
the South were treated far worse under
Republican administrations than under
Democratic. Take it right here in our
own city. Has not the Democratic
party been the friend of the negro?
Has it not placed them in positions of
trust and responsibility. The spectacle
of colored man wearing the blue uni
form of the policeman and fireman is
the result of Democratic fairness to the
black man.

In 1872 the insurance risks issued In
this state aggregated S5S,71S, 176, and
last year they figured UP to $3.50, go, 2S5.
Yes remarked Insurance Commits
sioner Shandrew, ga great business is
being done in Minnesota by insurance
companies. Last year the insurance
effected US more than that in Iowa and
in Wisconsin,, and we were within
fraction of equalling the business of
Michigan. This year | think we will
pass Michigan in the number of fire
risks. The marvellous development
and the material growth and wealth OF
the state may be thus estimated. Business
this wear has been somewhat cOnserva-
tive, but | anticipate there will be an
increase of $4,000, coo over the amount
of risks issued last year. The law of
the state provides that no company can
do business within its territory without
a license. Last year | found that bust
ness was being done by unlicensed
companies by circulars to firms within
the state. or by personal application to
those firms. The risks thus issued did
not come within the jurisdiction of this
department, so in January | communi-
Gated by circular with every firm in the
state, pointing out the illegality of this
method of insurance, and | calculate
that 81 100000 in risks issued will be re-
turned to this Office which were not
reported last year. OF course, some
firms are compelled to insure outside
the state. and to them is granted a
special license. They are compelled to
do so because they exhaust all the COM
panies operating in the state. probably,
owing to the hazardous character of the
risk. They cannot get sufficient in
surance upon their property, and must
seek it elsewhere. Firms in st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth have to do
this. The heaviest risk taken by COM
panies in this state is about S27, 000,0 900,
but only few touch that sum-"

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT SCHOOLS
Text Books Should Be Purchased
BY the State Authorities.


Prof. Kirk, assistant superintendent
of state public instruction, yesterday
issued an interesting collection of notes
from the reports of county school super
intendents. He says ''free text books
are advocated by some superintendent,
as it would insure the right books at
the right time to children of all classes,
rich or poor. The cost to the indiYid-
ual parent would be less through the
revenue of taxation than when pur-
chased independently from book stores,
as has been proved in the township of
Detroit, Becker county, where this
plan is working admirably. Pu-
pills of normal schools invariably
become teachers in city and town
schools, and the county thereby derives
little advantage. The extension of the
state institute system is, therefore,
urged, and by this method county
teachers could receive great benefit.
Recommendation is made that teachers
examinations should be conducted in
districts made up of several counties, so
that local pre- udice, faVoritiSm and DO
Iitical bias might be overcome. School
libraries are heartily Endorsed, and
where adapted pupils are reading with
great eagerness the effect must be
most beneficial, not only upon them
selves, but the state and ma
ton at | rye. The grading system
is receiving much attention and
meeting with great success. This
remark applied with equal force to the
instruction in temperance hygiene,
which was provided by law of the last
legislature. The effect of Stimulants
and narcotics upon the human system
is embraced in this instruction, and
Prof. Kirk adds: Great enthusiasm
has been shown both by teachers and
pupils in carrying out the provisions of
the law. Few objections have arisen
among the people, and these speedily
disappeared when the good intent of
the law manifested itself" The law TO
compel negligent parents to send
children between eight and sixteen
years of age to school three months
each year has proved almost a dead
letter. 1t is suggested that an officer or
diSinterested board should be appointed
in each county, and their special duty
should be to look after delinquent
parents. Conventions of school officials
are among the useful suggestions made
as means of giving definite knowledge
TO those whose duty it is to administer
law.
