THAT DELEG ALTON.

Mr.. &. +. Morris, VINO calico on
the President two weeks ago, with
Messrs. Smyth. Matthews, Will
liams and others in The interest OF
Mr.. Douglass, has written US a
letter which appears in this weeks
issue of the Bee. Mr.. Morris
agrees with us in all we said last
week with but one or two excep-
tious and we have as much right
to believe Hon. John Ill. Smy'h.
as we have TO believe Mr.. Morris.
who is Que of the satellites of Mr.
Douglass. Mr.. Morris is very
nice Young man, but, his vain
attempt to contradict what the
BEE knows 20 be a fact will not
do. We don't deny the fact that
the President will not give Mr..
Douglass an office, but, we do say
that he will not be made Record
er of Deeds. The President may
see in MIR. Douglass and Others OF
his kind, elements of great
strength and influence and no
doubt is inclined to believe that
such men can control the Negro
race. We can better show the
President than we can tell him.
MIR. Morris says that the entire
delegation had daggers for Mr..
Douglass and the address of Mr..
Smyth, found below, was adroitly
delivered 10 the President. Mr..
Smyth asked the President to ap-
point some one but who that some
one was the delegation nor did
the President know, until Mr.,
Sprague, the son-in-law of Mr..
Douglass, made it clear.
Mr.. Smyth's address
Mr.. PRESIDENT:
"We come to-day, sir, in the interest
of a gentl man who has reputation moi
only in this county, but across the Allan.
tic. as the foremost represt ntative OF the
colo, ed race. A gentleman who has been
recognized as one Of the foremost repub.
licans of the country; one who has coined
such national expressions as; the Re
publican parry is the ship, or else the
sea-" "rhe republican party is the
sheet amor Of the Negroes hope" Now
Mr.. President, in view of Mr.. Douglass
services we would most respectfully ash
you to give Mr.. Douglass the position b,
seeks. Here the President began t.
speak and for the first time mentions th,
Recorders office.
Mr.. Douglass IS not all pleased
with what the delegation said
Mr.. Smyth never mentioned th'
Recordership, but simply said tha
he hoped thatMr Douglass woulc
be appointed to the position b.
seeks. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Smyth bad a petition il
the interest of Col. Z. III. Carson
not long ago. Will MIR. Smyt
inform US what be did with tina
petition?

THE CITY ATTORNEYSRIP.

1t has the appearance of obliterating
an ancient landmark to retire WILLIAM
PITT MURRAY from the office Of city
attorney; and there will be great
many, particularly among the old set
tiers, who will be disposed to look upon
the action of the city council and the
confirmatOry decision of the supreme
court as species of legislative and
judicial vandalism. Mr.. MURRAY has
been very useful man to the city; and,
while there may be some who thought
that he was man of too imperious will
and was a trifle too autocratic In his
bearing, yet no one ever doubted his
ability or questioned his fidelity to the
interests of st. Paul. He had been
so long and so intimately associ-
ated with our municipal govern
ment as to become an almost indis-
pensable part of it. And yet the unan-
unity with which the supreme Judges
concnrred in their opinion leaves no
ground to question either the fairness
or the justice of the decision that was
rendered yesterday. In fact, many of
the most eminent lawyers of this city
expressed their opinion in the begin
ming of these judicial proceedings that
Mr.. HOLMAN had the advantage as re-
garded the constitutional questions in
volved in the case. Mr.. MURRAY's
successor is comparatively young
man, is reputed to be good lawyer of
accurate business methods. and there is
no reason to suppose that the in
terests of the city will suffer during his
administration of the office. Yet it will
be an uphill business for new man to
go INTO that Office and perform the du-
ties in as acceptable manner as Nh.
MURRAY was wont to do. No matter
how able and energetic he may be, 1t
will take long time for new man to
gain the information concerning our
municipal affairs that Mr.. MURRAY
possesses. Thus, for public as we'll as
for personal reasons. the people of our
city will regret the retirement of Mr..
MURRAY, and yet will find cause for
eongratulation that, as it had to occur in
the mutations of politics, he is to be sue
eeeded by one possessing SO many quail
ificatiens for the office. Fortunately.
Mr.. MURRAY is not a man to sit down
and rust out. He will keep on his feet,
and his individuality will not be dimin-
ished by this one stroke of bad luck.

pointment go General
Notes.

The st. MichaePs school exercises,
given yesterday afternoon and evening
to crowded houses, were OF character
far in advance of the usual school en-
tertainment, and gave genuine pleas
ure to all who witnessed the result Of
the hard work the little folks have been
doing in preparation for the event.
After the singing Of the opening chorus
came the recitation by Master j..
Blanchard, ''McLain's Child" the
| piece beiug well spoken and
loudly applauded. In the "Train to-
Aiauro'' Miss Mary A1Oriarty won loud
applause and covered herself with glory
as Mrs. Buttermilk, ably supported by
MeSsrs. j. Blanchard and Ford. A comic
song, sung by Master E. Bulley, with
'.jist tech ay the brogue," was simply
irresistible and brought down the
house. The grand square march and
posse of pretty maidenS armed with
gaily observation-disclosures, and showed that
/ much care had been take.s in training
the participants in the various evOlu-
tions. Little Miss Hurley captivated
the house in her "Chase for a Butter
: fly" The small maiden did her part so
cleverly that the audience almost for
got their surroundings, and fancied
themselves really following the child in
a mad chase after the elusive moth. A
recitation. "The Toast" by Maggie
Walsh, was eXceliently written and
ably delivered, and ''Rock-a-bye Baby''
well sung by Miss E. Blanchard,
last. but not the least attractive
-ane Oh the programme was sung with
great expression by the young lady. A
roaring farce, 1.-The Census Taker,"
was participated in by. Misses Belle
0'Rourke, N. Hogan, M. Mccarthy and
Misses Blanchard and Smith. Rev..
Father O'Niel, it was announced,
would make closing speech. After a
few remarks, in which he commented
on the progress made by the school for
the past year, and complimented
the staff of teachers on the ex-
ceilenee of their work, the reverend
gentleman, in a neatly complimentary
reference to the excellent work done for
the cause of education by Father Shan
ley, introduced that gentleman. Rev.
Stanley spoke enthusiastically of the
progress of education in connection
with Catholicism, and reviewed the
struggle leading up to the existence of
the many excellent educational estab-
lishments now found in this city. The
attendance numbered fully 800. and the
entertainment was regarded by both
performers and audience as grand
success.

HE MUST BE CRAZY.
An Omaha Editor Says Cronin Is
Not Dead.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June $50. II.
Rethaker, managing editor of the
Omaha Republican,, is in the city to
visit his friend Recorder Michael BO-
land. Mr.. Rothaker was asked by re-
porter for an opinion on the Cronin
murder and replied: "Cronin is not
dead. He is alive, and well; will show
up in England before many more days."
Pushed for an explanation for his be-
lief, Mr.. ROthaker said that for num-
Der of years he had been in position
to know of the character and move
ments of Irishmen connected with or
gani cations in the United States inter-
ested in the emancipation of Ireland
from England's tyranny. He scOffed at
the idea that Recorder Boland, Alexan-
der Sullivan or any one of the triangle
was responsible for the alleged trial of
Cronir. Mr.. Rothaker expressed him
self as being positive that the body
found in the sewer was not that of Gro
min, but ''Stiff," obtained from a Chi
cago medical college. Continuing Mr..
Rothaker said, "My belief that Cronin
is alive is strengthened by telegram
addressed to a prominent IriShman in
Omaha, and which was shown me. 1t
was sent from Chicago and its contents
were to the effect that positive assur-
ance had been received by the sender
that Croifin was still alive and request
ing information as to his whereabouts"

Murder Trial Break Down on

Special to the Globe.
WAUPAcA, WIS.,, June 26.-Gfeat in
terest is being taken in the Curran mur-
der trial now in progress. Large num-
bers OF people from Stevens
Point and surroundings towns are
attracted here to hear the noted
case. The prosecution's witnesses
were. many of them. Polanders and ne
cesSitated an interpreter. They were
excluded from the court room when not
being examined. There were twenty
three witnesses examined to-day, most
of whom heard the firing and
recognized two loud reports and
three lesser ones. The most
direct testimony for the state lost most
of its force by the witnesses contradict
ing themselves in important particulars.
Judge Cote, for the defense, is so search
ing i'll his cross examination that
the witness quails beneath his
rapid cross-fre. Only one witness
Mr.. Dickinson testified positively that
he saw Henry Curran shoot Hazeltine
One witness whom the state had that

and said that he didn't remember
much about it, and knows that
he saw No man where the shooting
was. This denial caused great sensa
ton. One witness testified that he saw
large man standing near the Currie
house shoot gun that was held up to
his shoulder and then throw it toward
the opposite side of the street. A
servant girl, Katie Young, saw
John Curran carry a shotgun through
the dining room just after the shooting
occurred. A st. Paul bookkeeper. who
at the time of the murder stopped at
the Curran house. testified to hear
ing the shots while reading
in his room and wondered
what they meant When asked what
else he did besides wondering" he
said. Just wondered: that was all"
The probability is that the defense
will begin tomorrow with their wit

THE OLD FAILING.

Ii there is any newspaper man of the
Republican school, with the possible
exception of the still fresh SHEPARD,
of New York, who would tell the truth
at all times, it was believed to be Dea-
con SMITH. of the Cincinnati Gazette,
the highest exponent Of the Republican
faith in Ohio. The conceit had been
cherished that, however the interests of
a great cause might sway the more
servile and pliable, the fiercest party
gales could not sing the notes of un-
righteous triumph through his whiskers.
This fond faith Is considerably rent by
the recent statement of the Ohio oracle
and light that ''there is no party paper
in Ohio that will permit the truth to be
told in it's issues right along through the
campaign" Had there been the single
exception, the statement might lose its
value as confession, but it would still
leave the ideal intact. Must the search
for the truly good Republican editor be
confined to New York?

General News Of the
Rail.

e. l.. Carman, superintendent of tho
inspection and weighing bureau, was in
the city yesterday making arrange
ments with the Northern Pacific and
Manitoba officials for extending his sys-
tenn to these roads. The bureau has
been operating east of Chicago for some
years and is worked on this plan. Mr..
Carman has corps of assistants at
every point on line. Every package
Of freight is examined and weighed,
and any discrepancy or Justification Of
bill Of lading reported to the company to
whom tits consigned. Salaries are paid to
all employees and the total expenses at
the end of each month charged to the
railroads. The results have been very
satisfactory, causing great saving to
the roads. For instance, suppose man
ships car load of lumber, conceaIing
therein quantity of dress goods or
something else ON which a lighter
freight rate is charged, Mr.. Carman's
assistants, when it:reaches its destina-
ton, cannot fail to discover the fraud
perpetrated, and by reporting it to the
road cause the apprehension of the Of
fender and the collection Of full rates.
There is more of this kind of swindling
going On than most people have any
idea Of, and the Northern Pacific and
Manitoba roads are going to try Mr.,
Carman'S bureau as remedy.

FORAKER AGAIN.

However much a disappointment the
denomination of Gov. FORAKER yester-
day may have been to the Republicans
of Ohio, it could not have been sur
prise; for. Notwithstanding his repeated
avowals that he would not accept the
nomination. it has been notorious for
weeks that he was using all the power
of state patronage to pack the prima-
ries in his interest. The other Repub-
liean aspirants for the gubernatorial
nomination went to Gov. FORAKER be-
fore announcing themselves as candi-
dates and received from him a solemn
pledge that he would not enter the race
again, and he gave them the additional
assurance that he would not accept a
denomination if it were rendered him.
Yet at that time he was probably lay
ing the wires that he worked so sue
cessfully in convention yesterday. He
played with his competitors the same
game that he undertook to play with
Senator SHERMAN in the Chicago con-
vention last summer.
1t would be matter of surprise if,
after this base exhibition of deceit and
duplicity, the honest and Intelligent
Republicans of Ohio would come I'D to
the support OF this man. who has proved
himself to be an assassin in politics. 1t
is possible that some of the other Re-
publican leaders in the state wanted
FORAKER renOmiDated in order that he
might be killed off. 1t is a singular coin
eidenee that JOHN SHERMAN landed in
New York, returning from his Euro
pean trip, just about the time that FoR-
AKER was nominated. 1t is scarcely
possible that Mr.. SHERMAN has forgot
ten the incidents of the last Chicago
convention, and the Judas Iscariot
part that FORAKER played there. The
indications are for lively campaign in
Ohio; and if the Democrats make any
sort of decent nomination, they are
sure to win.
