ACTIONS IN THE COURTS.
Judge Walkers Strict Rule in Regard te
Divorce Proceedings.

Judge Walkers Strict Rule in Regard to
Divorce Proceedings.
Judge Walker has made the following
rule of court for his room, from which he
says there will be no deviation under any
circumstances: No divorce cause shall be
tried at or during any term in which the
court is engaged in trials by jury, but such
cases, whether at issue or on default, shall
be set for trial at the term in which trials
by the court only are in hearing; and then
shall be tried only when regularly set for
trial on the calendar as other causes to be
tried by the court. The presence of the
defendant will be requiredin all cases where
within in the jurisdiction of the court.
If no subpoena has been issued or served the
cause will be continued. In all cases of
failure to appear by the defendant after due
service, an order of arrest will be issued for
such contempt of court. No secrecy will be
permitted by any official of this court as to
pending divorce proceedings, or as to the
result of such trials. The court officials,
attorneys and parties are forbidden to con-
ceal the papers in such causes to prevent
the public from obtaining a knowledge of
such cases the same as of other court BUSH
ness. 1t is against the policy of the law to
have any court secrets.
The other judges of the Superior Courts
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY of adopt
has been too great an invitation in the past
for persons to apply for divorce. By re-
questing secrecy on the part of the court
officials many persons of social prominence
have been divorced and the fact kept from
the public.

COFFEE

The finest reception and party Coffee is
composed of one-third Mocha and two
thirds Java. French Breakfast Coffee is
one-third each Mocha, Java and Mari
caibo. This makes an elegant cup of cof-
fee, also much used at receptions. A
very popular coffee is our al. NJ" made
from equal parts of Java and Golden
Rio. Pure straight Java has the advan-
tage over all other coffees, Of being
always fragrant and palatable. When
you want mild cup of coffee-many can
not drink strong coffee, but want it
good-Java fills the bill. Straight Mo-
cha is the after dinner coffee. Mocha,
Ceylon and Laguyara are the strong cof-
fees. Java, Maricaibo, Golden Rio and
Santos, are mild, and are popular with
those who do more work with their heads
than their hands. The all-important
thing, however, is quality and flavor.

there never be such another! Apart
from the first two chapters the book is
enchantingly beautiful, and equal to
anything from this authoress'S pen.
For beauty of description she
is equaled only by ,Ouida and George
Eliot. The interview between NadrO-
vine and the child Lolita at midnight is
perfectly exquisite in its lovely sadness
and depicts much more natural child
and a much more Iovable one than Iva.
The love scenes between the hero and
heroine are perfect in their passionate
beauty, and the last scene on the wild

Her English is perfect, and will place
her alongside of the greatest masters of
the language. Her descriptions of
scenery and meteorological phenomena
are sublime. notably the one of the

shimmering in the blaze of the sun

the characters well drawn and the
climax dramatic. On the whole, ''The

that this exceptionally talented young

A SPECIAL MESSAGE-

- Gentlemen of the legislature, if you
expect to finish up the business you
have in hand, the next four weeks will
necessarily be very busy ones for YOU
There is big pile Of legislation blocked
out. Some of it, possibly a good deal of
it, does not merit the time that will be
wasted in giving it even passing con-
Sideration. Yet there is a great deal
more of a most important character, that
will probably deserve more time in it's
consideration than you will have to give
it. Your affairs being in this condition,
we take the liberty of suggesting to you
that you single out the more important
bills relating to matters Of a general nat
ure. and give them your attention first.
Then, if you have any time left, it can
be devoted to measures that are purely
local or individual in their scope. We
furthermore suggest that, in order to
facilitate your work in this direction,
you appoint Joint committee to ar
range and classify the measures Of most
general interest. and that they may be
advanced on the calendar in the order
of their importance. You might begin
with the appropriation bills, and
stick to them until they are dis
posed of. Then tackle the appor-
tionment bill, and dispose of that. And
so on until you have finished up on the
special calendar, and then return to
general orders. Unless you do pursue
a course similar to what we suggest,
you are going to find yourselves in an
awfully tangled condition as you near
the close of the session; and when you
have adjourned, perhaps three-fourths
of you will not have the remotest idea
what bills have been enacted into laws
until you see them published in the
statutes. And then for the remainder
of your lives you will be bothered in
explaining your votes on some of the
laws that you helped to make. To re-
lieve you of this possible embarrass-
ment. gentlemen, is the GLOBES ex-
cuse for sending this special message to
YOU at this time.

THE FIGHT is ON.

The popular suspicion that the rela-
lions between President HARRISON and
the head of his cabinet were strained, is
fully confirmed by the tone of the letter
written by the former to Mr.. BLAINE,
and which was published in our New
York dispatches yesterday morning.
The letter was simply polite declina-
ton on the part of the president to
place himself under obligations to Mr..
BLAINE, yet it was couched in lam
guage that made it very easy reading
between the lines, and which, correctly
interpreted, signified that he wanted
Mr.. BLAINE to understand that the
president intended to be entirely indie
was too shrewd politician to make an
issue with the president at that time, or
even to intimate that he had discovered
the double meaning of st. BENJAMIN's
EpiStle to the Half-Breeds. But, for all
that, he had fully comprehended it's
meaning; and with that peculiar fac
ulty he has of waiting for opportunities
and of holding his soul in pa
tience until the harvest is ripe, he
quietly chucked the letter away
until the opportune time should
come for its publication. Evidently,
in the opinion of Mr.. BLAINE, the time
has arrived. The neat little fiction about
the letter having been carelessly left in
a room at hotel where Mr.. BLAINE
had temporarily sojourned is good
enough for the outside public, but those
who are at all familiar with that gentle
mans oily methods will readily under
stand that the letter finds its way into
print at this time through his comfy
ance. He has simply used it in the
way that he thinks will do the most
good. Mr.. BLAINE is impressed with
the belief that he is bigger man in the
Republican party than BENJAMIN HAIR
RIsoN. The way the latter has been
doing out appointments signifies that
he looks upon Mr.. BLAINE as nothing
more than clerical attache of the
administration, and that his only use in
the state department is to execute the
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1889-03-26

will of the president. NE. BLAINE is
not man to underrate his own impor-
lance, nor are his followers of that class
who will relinquiSh the Spoils of vic
tory without a tremendous effort to
gobble the pile.
Mr.. BLAINE's object in giving the
HA RRISON letter to the public at this
time is unquestionably to have it seem
as a proclamation to his followers to
gather around his standard in the fight
that he proposes to make against the
president for co ntrol of the federal pat
ronage. Gen. HARRISON received his
nomination through Mr.. BLAINE'S for
bearance. He was elected by the loyal
support of the BLAINE faction: and
now to have their leader snubbed and
themselves deprived of an equal share
in the spoils is probably more than the
half-breeds are going to submit to. Ali
the signs indicate the immediate out
break OF the fiercestfactional war known
in the history of the Republican party.
Life is aimlesS to Mr.. BLAINE unless he
is leader. Now that President HAIR
RIsoN has refused to recognize him as a
leader of the Republican party, the
Plumed Knight has clearly made up
his mind to again become the leader Of
a faction. And that he will make it ex-
ceedingly warm and interesting for the
president is not doubted by those who
know Mr.. BLAINE'S abilities as parti-
san leader.

NO OPERA HOUSE.

The announcement that the new
opera house deal is off will bring disap-
polntment to the citizens of this city,
for there were great expectations of a
magnificent temple of art being built in
the near future that would be an orna-
ment to the city. When it was known
that Mr.. LOWRY and his associates had
taken hold of the scheme there was the
fullest confidence that it would be
pushed to completion. And so it would
have been if they could have had their
way about it, for they had both the will
and the ability to accomplish their pur-
poses. But it happened In this in
stance, as it sometimes occurs in the
best regulated communities, that there
are some persons with so little public
spirit, and so much avarice, that
they are not only positive stumbling
blocks in the pathway of progress, but
they actually do detriment to them
selves. We are not disposed to ques-
ton any persons right to dispose of
their own property in their own way
and on their own terms; but there are
times in the history of all communities
when the public interests should be re-
garded and promoted, especially when
it can be done without any sort of sac
rifice. We hope, however, that the
failure in this instance will only serve
to stimulate our public-spirited citizens
to pool their pocketbooks, purchase an
other available site-for there are many
otherS-put up such an opera house as
was originally contemplated, and have
it ready to open by the time the first
snow falls

OHIO POLITICS.

Senator SHERMAN is reported not
making any recommendations to office
in Ohio. He thinks it the becoming role
to stand upon his dignity, and wait to
be asked to name his men. He has not
been asked, and altogether is not ex-
hibiting any very boisterous enthusiasm
over the new administration. He is
disposed, also, to take rather gloomy
view of the party situation in Ohio.
Possibly his mind is infected with the
apprehension of a FORAKER moving to-
ward the senate. He said, recently, of
the Ohio idea: 1--WE are in deplorable
condition out there, and l don't know
what the outcome will be. 1t is not so
much matter of this Office or that office,
but it is the cohesive strength in the
Republican organization that is at stake
in our coming state contests" Without
the cohesion of public plumber in pros
pect, the party has little to hold it to-
gether there. The administration finds
trouble in the number of the great men
in the party in Ohio. There are not
holes big enough for many of them, and
the rest will be sore and sulky. The
Democrats ought to be able to get on
top in that state in November.

lstures, butts not sweeping on to results
in the ratio public sentiment seems to
demand. The party managers coyly
hesitate, and sometimes openly doubt
the policy. Only Massachusetts, and In
diana have taken up the Australian sys-
tenn in full detail. 1t is probable that
some others will adopt something Of the
nature. There is much interest to note
its operation in Indiana. In no state is
it more needed. That has been for good
many years one of the closest and most
needed states i'll national contests.
The inducements to employ vicious
methods to control votes have been
great, and have not had very success
full resistance among the eager party
manipulators. If the new system will
break up bribery and dishonest meth
DDS at the polls, it will be a matter of
congratulation among good citizens.
There could be no better time than the
present for the pressing of electoral re-
form in any state.
