To Be Chosen to Relocate the
State Capitol in ST. Paul.

To Be Chosen to Relocate the
State Capitol in ST. Paul.
Alva h Eastman was the author of the
most sensible proposition advanced yet
in regard to a new state capitol site.
The pith of the bill introduced by him
is:
To create commission to examine
and report sites for the location of
state capitol building within the city
of st. Paul. The commission to be
composed Of
J. S. Pillsbury. of Hennepin; R. S. Munger.
ofSt. Louis; E. G. Smalley. of Ramsey; H.
b. Strait, of Scott: A. L. Sackett. of Martin;
j: A. Leonard, of olmsted; W. Il. Mitchell.
of Stearns.
This commission shall hold office for
two years, without compensation.
They shall meet at the state capitol on
the first day in June, 1889. The site to
be selected shall be somewhere midway
between the Twin Cities. The COM
mission is to prepare plans, select a
site and estimate cost.

TOPICAL TALK.

The winds and the waves were
mightier than the diplomats in the set
Element of the Samoan trouble, Such
tragic ending to naval expedition has
not occurred since the destruction of
the Spanish Armada, in the neighbor-
hood of the Orkneys, just three CEN
turtles ago. All the islands in the
Southern Pacific ocean are scarcely
worth the losses that have been sus-
tanned in this dreadful catastrophe; and
yet the wonderful event is not alto
gether without its useful lessons: 1t
has about wiped out the little navy this
country had Oh hand, and will necessi-
tate the immediate rebuilding of naval
ships of a better class than the old
wooden hulks that lie stranded Oh the
Samoan coast. 1t will also teach both
Germany and the United States the
folly of quarreling over the possession
of far-away islands and attempting to
bulldoze each other into measures by
the display of naval force, when all
the difficulty could have been adjusted

che part Of President HARRISON and

Mrs. JACKSON was singled out from
among all the women Of the South to be

LITERARY LORE.

"The Real George Washington" in
the April Cosmopolitan, is represented
as an Indian type of physique, weigh
and feet, wearing No. II shoes, and
having weak lungs and voice, but a
wonderful strength of arm and limb.
A story is told of Washington making a
famous jump for a wife during his
youth.
:, g He was riding, so the story goes,
along the Potomac above Georgetown,
when he came to the house of large
estate, and, seeing a crowd upon
the lawn, he asked the cause of
jumping match was in progress, and
that the prize was the hand of the farm
er's daughter. He looked on for time
at the different jumps, and finally asked
if he might not also try his skill. The
host consented, and Washington jumped
farther than the farthest. As he did so
he noted that the countenance of the
maiden fell, and that she looked rather
{ woefully at the face of his leading COM
, petitor, who had made the next best
jump, and who was evidently her lover.
He resigned his claim to the lady's hand
in his rivals favor, and it is said that
this lady afterwards recalled the cir
cumstance when she met him at one of
his presidential levees."

Judge Albion w. Tourgee. whose
Southern dissertations, and especially
whose Southern novels, have made his

argument to the April Forum on the

He admits that the negro problem is
uppermost in the questions of our civil

shall we do with the negro? as con-

strong from his point Of view, 1t is that

DRAMATIC DRIFT.

The week past has been an excellent
one for the theaters. A remarkably
strong play, with a good cast, at the
Peoples. and two of the best travelling
combinations in this country at the
Newmarket stimulated the theater-
goers to turn out; and. as the result.
there has been rushing business all
around.
The principal theatrical event of the
week has been the purchase of the most
eligible theater site IN the city by syn
dictate composed of the leading capital
lists of the Northwest, who propose to
expend in the neighborhood Of a million
of dollars in giving st. Paul the finest
amusement resort west of New York,
and probably the finest on the CONT
nent. The new theater building and
its anneXes will cover nearly an
entire block on an elevated
spot of ground in the heart of the BUSH
ness part of the city, and will have en-
frances from four different streets. The
new opera house will be within stones
throw of the new court house, the post
Office. the Globe building, three hotels,
only one block from the cathedral, two
blocks from the market house, and
right against the new Germania bank
L
Fourth street cable line and the Waba-
sha street horse car line. and only two
blocks from the Seventh street cable
line. Thus it will be seen that the syn
dictate laid their plans wisely when they,
selected this site for the opera house.
Col. l.. n. Scott is to have the manage
ment of the new theater, and will leave
for New York next week to book at
fractions for the coming season. An
effort will he made to have Edwin
Booth and Countess ModjeSka open the
new theater.
The bill at the Newmarket this week
is Hoyt's "Hole in the Ground" the
first half, and paul Kauvar" the latter
half. ga Hole in the Ground" is one
of Charlie Hoyt's newest skits, and is
constructed pretty much on the same
plan with "a Parlor Match" Tin
Soldier" and other plays of his inven-
ton. 1t is dramatic extravaganza,
with budget of jokes. rafting chOruses,
pretty girls and humOrously acrobatic
young men. 1t is built for fun, and the,
lines and situations have all the adyan-
tage that can be given them by an eX-
ceedingly clever cast, including such
well-known light comedians as George
Richards, Frank Lawton, Harry Nc
Donald, Charles Mitchell, W. j.
Jordan and Julia Mitchell. paul
Kauvar" is one of Steele Mackaye's ro-
mantle productions, somewhat of the
Hazel Kirke" style, but with more de-
cided sensational tinge. 1t is thrilling
picture of the Reign of Terror during
the French Revolution. The guillotine
and the bowling mob all figure in the
production. The cast will be the same
as produced the play originally at the
Standard theater, including Joseph
Haworth and Miss Carrie Turner in the
leading roles.

AS THE facts are looked into it is
found that the only prominent qualifi-

mission is name. He is not speaker,
and does not attract by presence OF
manner. GRANT is better adapted to
the requirements at Vienna, as he has
easy adaptations to local usages. The
selections i'll both these cases are for

TALMAGE has been throwing the
glare of his intellect upon the Biblical
chestnuts of the length of the creative
period, the occupants of NoAH's ark and
JoNAH's episode with the big fish. He
leaves them as Ineligible as he found
them. He sees no reason why the sea
tiend should not take an emetic after
three futile days spent in trying to di-
gest the intruder. The literal interpre-
ter of such variations finds his easiest
recourse in pious jocularity.

The statement is made that under
the grandfather there was official an
nouncement that editors and owners of
papers were not to be put in official po-

hamper their freedom, is not definitely
stated. The modern HARRISON is not
troubled with scruples of this nature.
The latest berths in the range are
theirs, and there is no hesitation visible
in taking them.
