LET US CELEBRATE.

Why is it that arrangements have not
been made for general celebration of
the WASHINGTON centennial next Tues
day? The New York centenary was
originally intended to be national
affair, but owing to the peculiar social
conditions of the metropolis it has been
converted into local affair, and rather
disgusting one at that. The occasion
is not of secondary Importance to any
event in our national history, and the
people of the entire country should
have the opportunity, in public man
ner, to testify their appreciation of it.
Now that the national authorities have
failed to provide for a general celebra-
ton, and the various state authorities
have likewise omitted to proclaim it
holiday, whatever celebrating is done
next Tuesday will have to depend upon
local effort.
In consideration of these omissions
the GLOBE takes the liberty to suggest
to our municipal authorities that formal
action be taken in the matter of cele-
brating the WASHINGTON centennial.
The school children are manifesting
more patriotism than the adult popula-
ton, for in some of the schools
arrangements have already been
made to celebrate the day in an
appropriate manner. At the suggestion
of Archbishop IRELAND, there will also
be religious services in the Catholic
churches. The thoughtfulnesS of the
archbishop and of some of the school
superintendent in this regard is re-
Duke to the civil authorities for their
negligence.
1t is not too late yet to arrange for
public and general celebration in this
community. There would be an emf
nent appropriateness in the Twin Cities,
the maryelS of modern American prog
ress, uniting in an observance of the
day which commentaries the beginning
OF our second century of constitutional
government in this country. The day
that WASHINGTON was sworn in as the
first president of the United States all
the country west of New York was a
vast wilderness. The close of the first
century finds two cities berea at the head
of navigation of the Mississippi, with a
population exceeding the aggregate
population of all the towns and cities
in the United States at that time, and
equal to one-sixth of the entire popula-
ton of the thirteen original states. If
there is occasion for rejoicing in any
section Of this great country over the
achievements of the first century of
our national existence, it is here among
the people who inhabit the upper Miss
issippi valley.
Our suggestion is that the mayors of
the Twin Cities issue their proclama-
lions, calling upon the people of these
two great municipalities to suspend
business next Tuesday and to observe
the day in an appropriate manner. And
then let arrangements be made for
demonstration worthy of the occasion.
The time is short, it is true; but al i'm
promptu patriotic demonstration is
worth dozen of cut and dried affairs,
such as they will have in New York.

CHICAGO EXCITED.

tits evident that the Chicago people
read the st. Paul GLOBE, for the recen
statement, made In these columns. that
Chicago was preparing for the next
census by padding itself with outlying
territory, has stirred up the Chicago
press into foam of excitement. The
late anarchists trial and the pending
CARTER divorce case wane in interest
to the Chicago people as compared with
an lnsinuation that Chicago would re-
sort to any extraordinary device to
swell its population in the next census
returns. We are inclined to think that
our Chicago friends do protest too much.
Chicago idiosyncrasies are better known
to the outside world than the Chicago
people imagine, and we are sorry to say
that modesty is not classed among it's
peculiarities. Furthermore, the pres
ent opportunity is probably the best
Chicago will ever have to make a good
census showing, for the superintendent
was once residence of Chicago, and
has quite reputation as a padder.
The GLOBE is not Quarreling with Chi
cago for taking advantage of its oppor-
tunities. but we simply wish to remind
our friends down that way that the
census of 1900 may be an honest one,
and in that case is likely to show de-
plorable shrinkage in Chicago statistics.

HOW IS THIS :?

In diScharging faithful treasury
employe, the other day, Secretary WIN
DOM was thoughtful enough to say in his
letter of dismissal: "Were your poll
tics different, | would be glad to have
you remain in the department. You
can, of course, appreciate the fact that
it would be bad politics to retain you
while so many faithful Republicans
are knocking at our party's door,"
1t must have been consoling to the
discharged employe to know that he
was not being discharged for ineffi-
cheney, and it was very kind of Secre-
ta1y WINDOW to say so.
But was it bad politics for President
HARRISON to say in his letter of ac-
ceptance: "In appointments to every
grade and department, fitness, and not
party service, should be the essential
and discriminating test?
Was it bad politics in the Chicago
convention to say: 1.-The spirit and
purpose of civil service reform should
be observed in all executive appoint
mentS"
1t is funny in what different lights
civil service reform is viewed before
and after the election.
In the estimation of the American
people there is no better politics than
sincerity and regard for truth. Per-
haps the administration will discover
this fact too late for its own good.

DAKOTA IMMIGRATION.

1t is understood by some North Da-
kota papers that the Northern Pacific
road will abate its efforts to fill up
Washington territory and give Dakota
the benefit of its influence. 1t has for
long time hauled long trains and
crowded cars across the continent, until
the Washington region is thronged with
men with little or no means and no op-
portunities to acquire any. The towns
there are being pushed in advance of
the country. mainly owing to the adj
vertising that has been so effectively
done. The road still has very large
area of desirable land in North Dakota,
and it may be presumed that growing
proportion of the migration will be in
duced to remain there. The Pacific
slope has some advantage in the mild
ness of its climate, but in most other
respects the Dakota lands are more in-
wiling. The indications of reviving
prosperity stand out in palpable view to
the traveller, and the people there are
likely to have less occasion for annoy
ance than heretofore in the passing by
of the home-seekers.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, April ga party of
surveyors, headed by c. c. Merritt, are
stalking out a railroad line III the east
end of the city parallel with that
of the Duluth & Iron Range. The
officials of this company are very anx-
ious to find out what railroad is in the
field. Mr.. Merritt and his men pro-
fess ignorance as to where they
are going or what company they
are working for. Mr.. Merritt is well
acquainted with every stick of pine in
the Duluth district, and Oh the strength
of this they say the survey
is being made for logging rail
road. Others think it is for a
line to compete with the Iron Range in
the ore carrying trade. 1t is possible to
bring a read to Duluth from the YER
million region that will be just
as short as the present route
to Two Harbors. This would make
of Duluth great ore shipping port.

not see anything unfavorable to them

AFRAID HE'D BE MOBBED.
Why Rochefort Slipped Into Eng
land So Quietly.

/ LONDON, April 26.-The reports con-
corning the departure of Nj. Henri
Rochefort from Brussels and his arrival
in England have been conflicting, and
without doubt were designedly so. 1t
was given out at first that he had been
left behind in Brussels when Boulanger
and his companions in exile left the
Belgian city. Later it was reported
that the valiant editor accompanied his
chief in his English invasion, and still
later this was denied. The facts are
that Rochefort was left in Brussels and
came over yesterday, stealing into Lon
don last night very quietly and going
unobserved to Nine. Dieudonne's hotel
in Ryder street. The reason for so
much secrecy and caution is that Roche
fort feared rough reception at the
hands of an English mob on account of
the numerous anti-English utterances
to which he has given expression in his
paper during the lasl dozen years or so.
He was afraid his delicate wish that the
Mahdi might annihilate Gen. Wolseley
and his command when the latter was
conducting the Egyptian campaign.
would stir up resentment IN the English
breast. Mr.. Gladstone's son William,
who has been seriously ill for some
time, is now better.

SHEARER SPEAKS.
His Clients, Lotto and Williams
Have Had Enough of Libe

y,
Have Had Enough of Libel
Suits.
James Shearer, of Minneapolis, the
attorney for Lotto and Williams in their
action against Miss Fanny Davenport
for libel, was seen last night and ques-
toned as to whether there was to be
any new action brought by his clients.
He said that there was not. He further
stated that in answer to telegraph by
Miss Davenport Manager ErIanger had
come on from New York and
two men, but there had been
no trouble between them because they
ignored Erlanger. Lotto and Williams,
are endeavoriDg to carry their parts and
do their work with the company so that
no blame can be attached to them. AS
to the ingratitude on their part and
their alleged ungentlemanly treatment
of Miss Davenport, Sheare said that
Williams, who is big, robust fellow,
was known in the company to be
champion of Miss Davenport, and twice
had whipped men who had dared in
his presence to cast reflections
on her character. He has been
in the company for six years. Miss DAY.
enpOrU mas employed +. +. Davis to de-
fend her in the libel suits. Mr.. Shearar
should certainly be aware of the inten-
ton of his clients, but the fact remains
that Lolita had trouble with represent
tative of Miss Davenport Thursday
night at the Newmarket. He admits
that he was accused of grave offenSe,
by whom he would not say, and al
though he threatened to make more
trouble, as his attorney says, he has
probably decided to content himself
with one libel suit.
