A story Recalled by tho visit of tho
Ex-Collecfor

Ex-Coiiector.
The presence IN this city Of OK Collector
Gould OF Buffalo recalls an amusing incl
dent which occurred during the campaign
of 's4, and IN which that genial political
hustler figured prominently, though some
what unwilllngly. "Charlie," as he was
afrectionately termed by the boys, had con-
ceived great admiratihn for the Buffalo
Campaign filee Club, which was composed
Of sixteen OF the best-traIned voices in Buff
falo, and which rendered efficient aid to the
Republican cause during the fall OF 'S4.
When II was announced that Mr.. Blaine,
who was then making his trip through New
York, would be at Salamanca on certain
day, Collector Gould determined TO meet
him at that point with the Glee Club and
accompany him through to Elmira. The
boys were willing: consequently Charlie
wired General Wootlford, who was acting
as major-domo of the Blaine expedition,
and who was "stuckn on the clubs sing
ing, asking II the Buffalo contingent could
be accommodated Qn board the train.
The answer WAS "Yes, come on,n and
when tho special rolled Into the Salamanca
station the distinguished party were greeted
with rousing song by the best glee club
, in the United States. Every one was happy,
tut tutIkttiC COlitctois Ant
Buffalonians boarded the train and were In
turn boarded by the steward Of the special,
muchto that atfunctionary's disgust. Speeches
and music were distributed literally
through the "Southern tier,n and finally
Elmira was reached.
Mr.. Blaine was interviewed by Mr.. j. d.
! +. Slee, while the balance Of the party
went TO the Rathbone House. After din
ner Mr.. Blaine was serenaded In the pres
ence Of an immense crowd, after which the
nominee Of the Republican party stepped
out on the porch and made one Of bis char
acteristically happy addresses. And now
! comes the reason why Charlie wished from
the bottom OF his heart that he hadn't
come. In the crowd was an enthusiastic,
though somewhat inebriated, Gould man..
At the conclusion ot the address he said:
"Mr. Blaine, there is one request wish TO
make right here; we're going to elect you
President, and don't you forget IL, and we
want you to keep Charlie Gould, one Of the
best fellows In the world. You know him,
Of"
But the devoted adberent Of the popular
Collector Of Customs got no further, for he
was grabbed by that irate offlcial and fur
ther utterance choked of. The Buffalo
mans left for home at a. M, and II Is said
that Charlie swore all the way instead Of
sleeping, as did his more pious though lese
angry companions.
That was the last trip of the glee club
under Mr.. Gould's management. lie didn't
consider them mascots.

Tho depravity of disappointed office
seeker or a disgruntled Democrat is simply
appalling, as is evinoed by the following
occurrence at the White House; 1t hap
pened beneath the porte cochere OF the
Presidential Palace. The magnificent team
of bob-tall bays with the handsome Harri-
son carriage, and Hawkins on the box,
darted up to the entrance. There was
grinding of wheels, striking of hoofs,
jangling of chains and a groom threw
open the carriage door. Across the stone
floor of the grand portico stepped staidly
the elder matron and her younger com
panlons tripping daintily. Down they
sweep as the crowd parts and stares In
wondering pleasure at this unexpected
treat to their vision, They enter the car
riage, the door closes, Hawkins draws the
lines taut, the horses toss their heads and
the equipage starts of, and then this disap-
pointed ofiice-seeker or this disguntled
Democrat or whatever Rind Of a spot upon

Can hear; ugh Pigs In cloyerr'

The Crops from a Foreign stand point.

LONDON, ENG, June 1st 1889
EDITOR TINES:
Confirming my last, whilst Of late
crop reports reaching here from Rus
STA have been more satisfactory, they
have at no time this season been glow
ing, the damage from winter killing,
which l reported to you some time ago,
having never been contradicted,
Lately more satisfactory reports
come to hand, these are followed this
week with reported serious injury
from protracted drought, which GER
tainly recei conformation by the
fact that The best Russian shippers
have withdrawn their offers for ship
ment.
Here crop prospects are good but
the character of the weather Of late
has not been all that could be desired
Present position hardly equal to few
days ago. The ultimate result still
depends on future weather and season
does not shape out as satisfactorily
as it pointed to sometime since.
Prospects are thus improved for (;
good market here for your surplus.
Ircmain yours faithfully,
GAUTIER DE ST. CROIX.

Considerable Talk and Some FRus,-
ness.
The Outlook Good.

The regular annual meeting of the
Superior Chamber Of Commerce occurs
according to the bylaws, on the third
Wednesday in June, of each year, for
the election OF officers, etc. Such
meeting was called to order by the
President, Mr.. c. 5. Catlin, at 1856
last Wednesday morning.
At previous meeting of the Cham
Der, Messrs. James Bardon, L. F.
Johnston and s. ID. Newton, were APP
pointed committee to report sugges-
tions for harbor improvements at this
end of the bay to Major j. Il. Quinn to
enable him to make his report and
commend actions to the government,
and asked TO report at this annual
meeting, which was done by Mr.. Bar
don, as chairman of the committee
The report WAS submitted in outline,
and after being discussed pro and con
by MessrS. Roberts, Hays, Catlin, Otis
and others, with recommendations for
adding an additional clause, the report
was adopted and ordered forwarde j
when properly formulated.
The report cOmlnends widening and
deepening the main channel from the
entry TO St. LOUIS river, for taking off
the corner ct the Nemadji river and
making good roadway from that
point TO the Northern Pacific dock,
for widening and taking off a point
it front and near Quebec pier, etc, SO
that whatever craft may come along
Will have no difficulty in going along
the public highway or of coming up to
our docks and OF getting out again
without trouble. The additional
clause insisted upon vigorous protest
against cutting any canals as proposed
by the West End people, opposite Con
n0r'S Point as shown in one Of THEN
maps generally used, and against the
previously suggested or limited al
plan OF abandoning the natural entry
at the mouth of the Nemadji river.
That it is a part of the scheme OF
the West End people, assisted by Du
luth interests, to cut such canal AND
close the natural entrance is well es
! tablished, and it behooyes our people
/ to be ever on the alert that a snaT
| judgement is not secured against Us
and we are left stranded upon the bar
rem shoals.

Rev. IL. II. Van Deusen, of the
Episcopal church, is in Milwaukee this
week attending the annual council Of
the Episcopal diocese of Milwaukee.
There is plan under consideration,
says the Sentinel, to lop off portion
of the diocese of Milwaukee and add it
to the diocese of Minnesota, with the
ultimate intention of making new
diocese. The plan is to detach Doug
las county, as it is such a long dis
lance from this city, the head of the
diocese. While the conservatives do
not oppose the measure, it is said to be
q significant fact that the cathedral
party" is greatly in favor of it. For a
time it was the plan of the ritualsts
to make dioceses as a means Of extend
ing the III power, but of late years the
general conference has opposed sucl
measures. The friends Of the Douglas
county measure claim that Bishop
Knight does not favor the plan.
