St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-07-08

Iu spite OF the frantic warnings OF
the Times to put none but anti-Mer-
RAM men on guard, and for all loyal
Minneapolis men to stay at home nights
for fear they might be captured by the
enemy, it looks as though delegation
will be sent to the state convention that
will vote for Merriam as the true rep
TeSentative of party that is both for
protection and free trade, and is at one
and the same time the friend of the
monOpoliSt and the dOwn-trodden.w
ingman.
p. B. Winston, who was elected presi-
dent OF the jefferson club while absent
from the city, will tonight be present
at meeting of the club to return
thanks for the honor conferred upon
him.
The accident on the motor line which
so nearly cost Attorney w. III. DOnahue
his life illustrates the danger of having
railroad in operation i'll the thickly
populated portions of the city without a
block signal system.
tits beginning to look as if it were the
management more than the members
of the base ball team that needs ''gin-
ger" 1t would seem that the support
that base ball receives i'll the city
is sufficient to provide enough pitchers
to meet the emergencies of possible
sickness or accident. Minneapolis is
paying for pennant base ball, and
should have it. Chicago brewery tao
tics in base ball management won't
''go' much longer here.
When the eIectro nickel-plating en-
ferpriSe is thoroughly established 1t Will
probably become the custom to put
nickel on the plate instead of dime at
church Sociables.
The Evening Tribune now has it that
two expert census clerks have been
ordered to Minneapolis to help figure
up The population. This is the paper
that had the census completed and fig
ured up over a week ago.
Harlow Gale now asks for little
more time. Too much time and not
enough of something else seem to have
affected the market matter for long
time how.
A score of ~ to pretty nearly
evens up that 10 to l game played in
Minneapolis on the afternoon of the
Fourth. Dukes arm seems to have lost
a little of its cunning. At this rate the
hot wave will soon be knocked out in
Minneapolis.
Babb certainly does intend to retire
from politics. He has killed himself
politically at last. He said he went to
Ashland to get rid of the Fourth of July
noise. Such unpatriotic conduct will
surely meet with retirement.
Sam Morton signed new man yester-
day, but his partners are not allowed
proprietary interest in the newcomer.
1t is boy, and from the way the husky
Sam slides out of bed when the young
Bter lets out a yell at a. m. it is safe to
gamble that he is born coacher.
A lawyer who had obtained a judy
ment against a woman yesterday had
her before the court because she
wouldn't pay it. The charge was con-
tempt of court, but as she is a dress
maker the Judge took the matter under
advisement. There are any number Of
married men Ill Minneapolis who would
give as much as so cents for the same
chance to get even with dressmaker.
Perhaps the attorney is also married.
The Minneapolis board of trade yes
te4 lay refused TO pass resolution look
ing towards tariff reform, on the grounds
that mo considerable number of farm
erS had asked for assistance" 1t is
question whether any considerable num-
Der of farmers ever heard of the exist
ence of such an all-poWerful and august
body as the board of trade.
Tomorrow Harlow Gale will formally
instruct the committee on markets of
the council that the base bail park will
have to go to make room for his new
market house. Some of the aldermen
will perhaps suggest compromise, and
suggest the block on which the West |
hotel, the Masonic temple and the ath
leuc clubs new gymnasium is situated. |
Mayor Babb was quoted yesterday as |
saying there was no danger of an ice |
famine in Minneapolis this year. Well, |
hardly. The reception two ball players |
go when they wanted to LOrroW money |
on next seasons prospects, and the way |
the secretary of the board of trade |
treats newspaper reporters Oh hot day |
is enough to make an outsider think
Minneapolis is within very short dis
lance of the north pole.
There will be political speeches at the
labor picnic and the champions of both
parties will tell the same old story of
how dear the bone and sinew OF the
working man is to them-until after
election.
The business man who has the nerve
these days to walk down Hennepin ave-
nue. wearing 15-love coat is generally |
the fellow who, if given a tennis rae
quet and placed in front of the net,
would swipe the bah for about four
bases. But he is comfortable just the
same.
The last card in the famous crossings
case game was played yesterday when |
the Great Northern accepted the terms |
of the compromise, and the officials of |
that road attached their signatures to |
the contracts. Now all that remains to |
be done is to build the bridges, and pos |
sibly before snow falls the grade cross |
