New Features ia tne COtfOm case

II.
Judge Young was yesterday called
upon to consider the petition of John L.
Blaisdell for leave to change attorneys
in the ten remaining civil cases which
have been brought against him and Col
lom. Judge Young gave Blaisdell permits
sion to substitute Brooks d. Hehdrixs for
Davis 81 Farnhain, requiring him to HE
a bond of 81, 900 i'm each case, over Sl0,-
900 i'm all. Davis u Farnham were
ordered TO turn over to the new att0r-
news all of the papers connected with
the Coiloln ease now in their hands,
"A report was circulated yesterday
that John T. Blaisdeli, through his at
tofneys, Brooks d Hendrix, would
COLON to Mr.. Colt0m's assignee, Judge
Daniel Fish, OF the Minnesota
Title Insurance and Trust company.
This would include all Mr.. C0llOm's
property in Minneapolis and in Glad
stone, Mich. Judge Shaw, attorney for
both creditors and Mr.. COLON, was IN
tefyiewed. but knew nothing OF 1t. He
said, however, that if the tender WAS
made i'm the proper way to Judge Fish
it would be accepted. Judge Shaw also
stated that if such tender were made
it would show that Mr.. Blaisdell
and Mr.. anderson could not hold
the property aud that such tender
would have no effect upon the civil
actions. Mr.. .Collom'S assignee has
already sued to recover this property,
and the case was to- have come to trial
soon. The tender was finally made yes
e. fIlhf ISh pxl-
jecled if because it was not signed by
BlaisdeIl and wife. Mr. Hendricks
offered to have this done. but Judge Fish
said he would consult Judge Shaw
before accepting it.
Ii is said now that the civil actions
pending against Biaisdell. in which the
geuuineneSS of the disputed signatures
is the main factor, may not be tired De-
fore the criminal action against Coll0m
after all. Ii is understood that the
criminal action was put over
until the next term, merely
to await the result OF the
civic eases, which wO I'D go far toward
determining the innocence or guilt OF
C0iIon. The story now current is to
the effect that the holders of those notes
are not disposed to put themselves to
great expense in collecting evidence
merely for the benefit of the county at
torney's Office. They are disposed to
put their cases over, too. and let the
prosecuting officer of the county settle
the matter at the expense of the county
and John L. Blaisdeii. This plan can
be carried out on both sides almost in
definitely. ami it is hard to see where it
will end if adopted. LIZ only goes to
strengthen the belief that COLON Will
never be tried again.

THE POLL. e CLERKS TREE.
The Reporters and Policemen
Wish Fred George a Merry
Xmas

Wish Fred George Merry
Xmas.
For one day in the year Police Clerk
Fred George can be sure that he has
not been forgotten. When he reaches
his Office at headquarters this morning
he will find that Santa Claus has been
there during his absence and left an
oid-fashi0ued Christmas tree upon his
desk. On Monday some one carried
tree into his office, and there has been
considerable speculation among the
officers and police reporters just what
that tree was for. Fred said it was
a Christmas tree: but. as Detective
MallOn couldn't find any trace of one
being lost, he said he guessed it didn't
belong to any one. blr. George told him
to leave it alone. and Matt wouldn't
have anything to do with it. Last night
Police Captain Helm, assisted by Signal
Officer Mason and the police reporters.
"trimmed'' the tree for Fred, and if the
sight of 1t does not awake fond reeOIlee-
tinns of by-gOIe days there isn't much
sentiment left in him. There is myS-
teriouS-iooking package donated by
Capt Hem, suggestive OF a box of
cigars. Two bottie-shaped, paper-eov-
cred articles plainly bespeak Of iquid
refreshments. while candy and fruit
bear down the bran shes with their
weight. Capt. Helm. whoIsuperinteHded
the trimming of the tree. is justly proud
of mis- handiwOrk, "and the tree is all
for Fred George"

Thomas Halloran this morning has
Christmas present in the shape of de-
cision by Judge Rea awarding him clear

Charlotte NJ. Brown died in the state of
Maine in 1857, and left Che land in dis

The JellisOns afterwards mOrtgaged the

offered TO redeem. Judge Rea holds
that JelliSon does not show his non-
abandonment of the land, and decides
that HaIIOran'S title, secured by fore
closure, is valid and COED.

WE STILL GROW.

4 compilation of statistical matter
is more in the line of the census taker
than of the newspaper. Therefore the
/ GLOBE has preferred to leave to the
government officials, who will soon be
engaged on the census, the task which
we have usually performed in our
Christmas edition. We have enough
data at hand, however, to give the as
surance that the Twin Cities have taken
DO backward step during the year 1889.
1t has not been boom year in the sense
that speculation ran riot, but it has been
better than that. 1t has been year of
substantial prosperity, of solid metrOp-
oils building. of the establishment and
extension of permanent business inter-
estS, and a season remarkable for its
building record. The year has been
one of general depression throughout
the country, and, in some localities,
an actual stagnatiOn of business; yet
the Twin Cities have not refrigerated a
particle; but, on the contrary, have
made growth and development that
would be regarded as phenomenal in the
older settled communities, where trey
that pervadeS this wonderland OF devei-
opment. The fact that here in st. Paul
about twenty-five mill Ions have been
planted during the year in buildings
alone is an encouraging evidence of the
capacity of these cities to hold their
own under any and all circumstances.
There have been fewer failures than in
almost any other year. and in every i'll
dustrial and commercial department
there is universal feeling of confidence
and hopefulness. Whatever drawbacks
we have h Id are justly attributable to
the open winters, and not to any lack of
confidence in the business future of the
Northwest. We tided over one open
wintor without serious losses. We are
prepared to tide over another; and, il it
is to become a settled fact that we are
to have a Florida climate hereafter,
business will be speedily readjusted to
suit the change. 1t is characteristic of
the Twin Cities to be always prepared
for emergencies, and to be equal to
every occasion.

MUNICIPAL COURT NOTES.
All Sorts of Petty Criminals Dis
posed OF.

Ernest Passenheim, an eight-year-old
boy. was before Judge Emery yesterday
charged with tiIl-tapping. According
to the statement of Police Captain Ness.
Ernest is a very bad boy. The charge
against him was stealing S34.6S from

PEACE AND UuOD WILL.

Christmas comes but once year. but
thank the good Lord for that once.
i;yief-stricken indeed must be the soul
that does not warm under the CHEEKY in
ileeRees of the Christmastide. 1t is the
season of rest for the weary. of con-
ISOLATION for the sad-hearted, and of ex-
Uberant enjoyment for the little folks.
SANTA CLAUS and the children have a
pre-emptcd claim On Christmas, and yet
they are not entitled to all of its benei-
ceuce. We want to enter plea in de-
Tense of the rights of the older people,
who should have some share in the glo-
Fious privileges Of the season. 1t is true
they had their day of grace when love
and life we're young, and were, perhaps,
as greedy in monopolzing the Christmas
enioyments as the young people of to-
day are. Still, That does not debar the
adult population of all Christian lands
from improving the holiday season for
their particular benefit.
It is the season for etrospection-the
last week of the year, when we can
pr6itahly review the events of 1889,
with particular reference to the part
we have played in this act of life's
drama. Time has balanced the books,
and in another week the record will be
closed forever, Is the balance on orr
side, or is it against Us? The holiday
season can be profitabIy spent in ascer-
tanning that fact.
Il is the season for foreeasting the
future. A new year is just ahead of
us. We have our individual duties and
on duties as citizens of great republic
TO perform. Have we done anything
yet in fOrccssting the demands that are
likely to be made upon US during the
incoming year, as individuals and S
citizens? Ii not, the holiday season is
Just the time to do it. While the chill
dreR are having their r0mp with SANTA
CLAUS in the parlOr the old folks can
retire to more quiet part of the house
and talk over the past, the present aud
the future with view of making the
next Christmas even a more Joyous
occasion than thiSone.
1t is really the season for good reso-
buttons. If there have been mistakes
made during the year that is just going
out, the Christmas-tide affords the op
portunity for discovering them. If the
mistakes of this year are to be elimi-
mated from next years record, now is
the time to make the resolve. The little
good that we have done IN 1889 can be
improved upon in 1890. Let us plan
how to do it.
With the past behind US and the fut-
ure before US, let us not forget that we
stand in the midst Of the present, and
that its responsibilities are as grave
and as pressing as any that have been
OF are yet to be. With our hand tOu CHI
