Merchants CHOICE.
Gibbs, Becker and j. p. Williams
Are Railroad Commissioners.

Gov. Merriam prepared batch of ap-
pointments yesterday, but owing to
boodlelcOmplications. did not send them
to the senate, as was reported. The
railroad commissioners will be John l..
Gibbs, of Geneva; George l.. Becker, of
st. Paul, and J. P. Williams, of Fergus
Falls. Mr.. Williams is the only new
member of the board, and succeeds Com
missioner Austin. His selection will
aStonIsh many who had supposed BartO
to be certain of getting it. Mr.. Williams
is a banker and lawyer, a citizen of
good local reputation, but stranger to
commission will be elected by it, and
Mr.. Tysberg. of Fergus Falls, and Tams
Bixby, of Red Wing, are the chief can
didates for it.
For adjutant general Capt. j. 81. Null
len. of WabaSha, is nominated. Capt.
Mullen is veteran of the late war, and
man who was sOlidly backed by his
own county. Capt. Mullen was candi-

congress in the First district last year.
r. A. Costello, of Duluth, notified the
governor by telegraph that he positively
declined the office of insurance commits

that it will go to Mr.. Bailey, of Becker
county, this giving the Fifth district

appointment could not be learned.

A NEW THEATER.

So convinced is the GLOBE of the
necessity for building first-class thea
ter right away, and of the ability Of our
own citizens to build it, we take the
liberty of making direct proposition
to the moneyed men of the city to take
hold of it forthwith. There will be any
number of spectators and adventurers
to parade themselves before the public
with plans and propositions for new
theater, while probably none of them
will be able to build; or, if they are,
they only design to put up some cheap
structure that will be neither useful nor
ornamental.
AS we stated yesterday, the prosper
ity of city is mainly gagged by the
character of its hotels, its theaters, and
its newspapers. Whatever else stran-
ger may see or fail to see when visiting
city, he is sure not to fail Of an obser
walton of the hotels, theaters and news
papers. Certainly st. Paul has reason
to be proud of its hotels and news
papers; now let us have theater in
keeping with the other establishments.
We want an opera house that will be an
ornament to the city; we want it ELI
gibly located, and, above all, to be abso-
lutely ire-proof. The value of such
building as an advertisement to the city
is beyond computation. 1t should also
be owned and controlled by st. Paul
people. Therefore we bring our propo-
sition directly home to our citizens by
suggesting that such men as MI.
HILL, Mr.. WILDER, Mr.. STICK
NEY, Gov. MERRIAM, Mr.. KELLY,
Mr.. SCHEFFER, Mr.. WILLIUs, Mayor
SMITH, Mr.. DAWSON, Gen. SIBLEY,
Capt. BERKEY. Gen. SANBoRN, and
others whose names will readily occur
to the reader, shall put their heads and
pocketbooks together in a movement to
Immediately erect a theater that will be
an ornament to the city and worthy
monument to its builders. This is both
a practical and practicable proposition,
and we hope that our suggestion will be
needed,

RAYARD'S BEHAVIOR.

Consul General SEWALL reads the
riot act to Secretary BAYARD on Sa-
moan affairs. According to Mr.. Sew
ALL's statement before the senate COM
mittee yesterday, Mr.. BAYARD is the
veriest old granny who ever filled an
important station. 1t is due to the char
acter of instructions he has been send
ing to the American officials at Samoa
that the American flag has suffered an
insult. The Germans were apprised of
the limitations placed upon the Amer
lean authorities by our state department
and took advantage of it. BISMARCK,
who is an owner in Pacific Transports
ton company, has a personal interestin
the disturbances he is kicking up in the
Samoan islands, and will naturally use
the cloak of the German government as
a covering under which to push his in
diYidual enterprises. The genius for
stupidity which Mr.. BAYARD has ex-
hibited might possibly create the i'm
preston in the minds of some persons
that he is in partnership with Bis
MARCK in his South Pacific ventures.
At all events, between BIsMARcK's
business thrift and BAYARD's inability
to grasp the Samoan situation, this
country is liable to be left in the lurch.

FLUsTERED LEADERS.
The Washburn Faetotums Lost
Their Heads.

The star of the dark horse rose per-
ceptibly when the action of the house
became known. The Washburn men
were chagrined and went away de-
pressed. 1t was the universal comment
that they had made serious mistake in
trying to force a vote for senator after
the temper of the house had been
clearly shown to be in favor of post
ponement until the investigating COM
mittee reported. Their action lent such
a color to the reports that they were
trying to force the rule of the ucuS
above that of the house resolution for
investigation that undoubtedly they
lost votes on the issue made which 9TH
erwiSe would have been with them.
Gen. Washburn was still too ill with
bad tooth and fatigue to appear in st.
Paul, and his absence added to
the confusion in his camp. His private
secretary came to the headquarters in
the afternoon with the statement, that
the general felt no alarm over the stu
alton, and felt certain of rs votes in the
senate and 4S in the house. 70 in all,
and three less than enoughto nominate.
These lacking three votes it was claimed
would come in at the right time. Still
the situation remained all afternoon and
evening that the field was against
Washburn, and Sabin absolutely out of
the race.

LoCKPoKT, N. Y, Jan. 22.-The fail

only question of few hours. He Is
large railroad contractor and water

waterworks in Dallas, Tex; Covington,
KY: Emporia, Kan; and for railroads
between Grand Rapids and Grand
Ledge, Mich; and from East Saginaw
to Durand, the same state. TIE failure
is a personal one, involving only $4,000
worth of debts. This, Mr.. McRae says,
his personal estate can easily pay. He
was forced to make an assignment
through his inability to raise $4,000 to
relieve the lumber firm of William
McRae & Co. The lumber firm has
been losing largely for the past five
years and was heavily in debt. Mr..
McRae will assign to III. H. Flagier, who

and Horace B. Strait.
Charley PillSbury met certain of his
friends at the Merchants hotel yester-
day afternoon and receive the assurance
that when the first break from Wash
burn came he would receive the bulk
of the latter's vote. While this is a
large statement, it is certain that Mr..
Pillsbury seems to be the most popular
man before the legislature to-day as a
dark horse. The significance of his
visit yesterday may be explained by the
remark of senator,

noon that he will not be sorry IL WASH

to break to him on the raising of his
finger, and il the senate does not decide
for Washburn tonight expect to see
Pillsbury in the field"
The sudden temperance of PreSi-
dent Sprague, of the Farmers alliance,
upon the field, gave new strength to
the report that the funny combination
had been formed of j. j, Hill, the
Democrats and the alliance, for the pur-
pose of presenting the name of Knute
Nelson. Since the fight commenced
there have been from twelve to fifteen
votes ready to go to Horace B. Strait if
an opportunity offered. This trio, then,
is the most prominent and it's members
the most talked of, if Mr.. Washburn is
defeated to-day. Pillsbury is given the
greatest lead of them all by good judges,
owing to his personal popularity. The
Nelson move is looked upon as one de-
signed by railroad managers hostile to
Washburn and Democrats who desire
to have a United States senator not
pronouncedly hostile to their doctrine.
Strait is prOblematical and dark horse
factor in the fight, whose choice is not
anticipated unless there should be a
deadlock. AS to why Gov. Merriam
would be pleased to see Washburn de-
feated there is no rational eXplana-
ton offered, except that he saw a chance
to get the plum himself.

WANT THE PLUMS.

Gen. HARRISON is credited with the
palpable observation, 81 never saw
such scramble for office in my life"
The intimation thrown out, perhaps to
deter the ravenous mob, that the eX-
ample of Mr.. CLEVELAND will not be
lowered, seem very plausible; but here
is INGALLS,, the present Republican
head of the senate, who insists that the
guillotine must be put to work promptly
and take no respite while there are
heads to fall. More notably, there is
also Gen. LEW WALLACE, the literary
and heightened man, and close friend
of the president. He states, as his pro-
gramme, that the president should in
struct each cabinet minister to get the
last Democrat out of his department in
thirty days. That comes home to the
hearts of the practical workers-the
men who want Office as rule. Any sort
of reform that delays their getting the
Office is not in their direction. They
will worry the new president if he tries
to stand by his professions.

it does. 1t could not imagine that people
govern themselves by an irrevocable street
car schedule. But the management should
remember that St. Paul people do not all go
home at 1920 p. m. A few metropolitan
ideas, well laid on with trip hammer, might
benefit the service.
1t is great mistake to suppose the Demo
Gratis are looking upon the senatorial scram-
BILE with weird satisfaction. They are
drowned in sorrow and regret. They feel as
does the small boy who learns his papa is
Santa Claus, or as the Egyptian who finds his
Isis is merely marble. For so long has it been
dinged into their ears that the Republican
party was the incarnation Of all that is good
and pure and honorable, that they cannot
realize that this god has fallen so low. So
these Democrats turn to the recent develop

EVEN a woman's stratagem is not
always equal to emergencies. Miss
BARRY's vexation at the st. Paul
school board for refusing her the use of
High School hall for her theatrical pro-
auctions is entirely unwarranted. If
she had been an American woman she
would readily have understood the diff
ference between theater and public

have not reached that high stage of
civilization governing some of our
Eastern educational institutions, which
places amusements at the head of the

BAD TALK
About the Use of Money on Both
Sides.

Sides.
While, as Charley Gilman thinks, the
result of the exposure of any bribery by
his agents may elect Mr.. Washbnrn to-
day, it remains true that the sober
thinking, conservative members of the
senate and house are well convinced
that money was freely used on both
sides, and that state of rottenness has
been exposed such as no past campaign
in this state has ever suffered from. This
opinion is freely expressed by Republi-
can members who know much of the
truth, and to whom Mr.. Donnelly says:
''Let the CALLED jade vince, our
withers are unwrung."
The known members and outsiders
subpenaed to appear before the commit

Special to the Globe. II
PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 22..-Much ex-
element was occasioned on Federal
street, Allegheny City, this evening,
by the sudden assault of M. P. Carrick
upon man who was following him.
Several days ago Carrick was warned
by friend that he was being Swallowed
by detective, who was working by au-
thority of the English government. On
Sunday last an elegantly dressed
man appeared at Carrick's resi-
dence and introduced himself
as a Mr.. Doyle, an IriShman,
and had lived near Carrick's home in
Ireland some years ago, prior to Car
rick's arrest for advocating home rule.
After chatting while he went away.
To-day he followed Carrick over half
the city and at O'clock this evening in
troduced himself by another name. He
invited Carrick into saloon parlor and
offered him $500 if he would disclose to
him one special information. Carrick
spurned the offer and left the room.
The adjective followed him out and
again attempted to brlbe Carrick. The
latter struck Doyle terrible blow,
knocking him down. Regaining his
feet, Doyle disappeared.
