SAINT PAUL.
OUIPS AND FANCIES.

Frank Whitney. of the Great North
ern, has got out an interesting circular
giving instructions of how to vote ac-
cording to the Australian system. A
short history of the secret ballot is
given. What is known as the Australian
system OF voting originated with Francis
S. button, q member of the legislature
of South Australia. who succeeded In
having it made law of that colony in
1851, after nearly ten years of persistent
work. The system was introduced in
England in 1872. and its first application
in the United States was at Louisville,
KY, iii 1888.
"AnOnymOus but worth reading" is
the heading given TO the following par
Rgraph mysteriouSly dropped into the
GLOBE editorial rooms last evening:
If you would like to get roast on the pres
ent management of the railway mail service,
detail reporter to interview postal clerks
about the uniform that anamaker has or
dered them TO get. Note how they tit, the
quality of goods and the price. Postal clerks
are emitting curses. not loud, but very, very
deep; aid if you think it worth your while,
and take the right way to get Information
you will have plenty of material for good
roast"
Up to an early hour yesterday morn
ing farmers were grumbling loudly for
lack of rain. The general sentiment OF
the agriculturists was cOncisely put in
the weekly weather report issued late
on Saturday evening: The prevailing
drouth is unfavorable to crops and vege
tation generally, and the high winds
of the week caused damage by uncover
ing seeds on high ground in certain To-
calities. The damages from these causes,
however. will disappear with the next
favorable change" 1t is Well-known
axiom that there is no telling what a
day may bring forth. The farmers
went to bed grumbling on Saturday
night; they arose yesterday morning
and rejoiced-the snow which had
fallen and continued to fall during the
day was eagerly sucked up by the
parched earth and the spring wheat
crop was saved.
A week ago yesterday people donned
their summer outfits. Yesterday they
resumed their winter oyereoats and
spent the day in building up coal fires.
1t is worthy of note during these cold
spells and when warm overcoat is
found so desirable for your comfort,
that the Republican party is RESPONSE
bic for the tax which makes it so diff
cult for the poor man to obtain one.

His Concerts Are as Popular, 1t
Seems. as Ever.
The second series of concerts by the
DAM orchestra is proving no less sue
cessful than the first, and the Harris
theater was crowded again when the
second concert of the new series was
given yesterday afternoon. The open

(Weber), given in the magnificent style
and with the perfect technique tor
which this orchestra is famed. Then
came Goldmark's ''Queen of Sheba,"
followed in turn with serenade
(Thiele) by the string orchestra. Each
number was accorded an enthusiastic
reception, and Prof. Wurz's oboe OBJ
ligato Longing" brought down the
house. Wagner's "Lyug Gu Frauen"
was grandly played, and received an
encore. A selection from "Huguenots"
Meyerbeerl was the closing number

An evening paper of Saturday sprung
what it thought was great political
sensation. With scare head lines, it
announced that the administration was
employing number of extra men on
the street! Woh. it was awful! Work
ingmen read it, and were at once COIL
WINGED the administration was a good
one, from labor standpoint. This
evening paper then went OH to declare
that it had learned more men were en-
plOyed now than at some other time,
and that some of them were getting bet
ter wages. Too bad, wasn't it? The
facts are that the extra men referred to
were the carpenters who were con-
structing the election booths and the
men who are employed only in the
spring repairing and fitting UP the
city fountains, hydrants, sprinkling hy-
drants, etc. Moral: Vote the straight
Democratic ticket.

The opposition of A. P. Croonquist is
hurting Col. kiefer more than even the
loud mouthings of the ''kids." Mr..
Croonqulst is gentleman who stands
high in the community. and his story of
Kiefer's gross betrayal of him in 1881,
reinforced as it has been by the testi-
mOny of several other men of like high
standing. in the city, among them f.
MObery, of the First ward. To Mr..
MoberY, himself, Col. Kiefer gave
straight Republican tickets bearing the
name of Mr.. Croonauist's opponent.
after having previously promised Mr..
Croonquist that he would pull straight.

belief of MIR. CrOOnquiSt and his friends,

Kiefer dose of his own medicine.
j. F. Curtis yesterday made the fol-
lowing concise statement OF the posi-
ton of the eolored voters OF the city:
"The colored voters, no doubt, have
reason to think and believe that they
have been used as the tools of party.
The small majority that seated A. r.
McGill, it is reasonable to believe, was
the balance of the colored vote, white
Democrats and Republicans being
ABOUT even. McOlll warmed the SuD6r-
Material chair whole term. and forget
the faithful allies of his party in the
distribution of spoils, and we have no
reason to believe that Kiefer would be
an exception to this rule. Some may
ask: What does Smith promise% [
answer that, characteristic of the true
gentleman. faithful to his great
trust and patriotic to his coun-
try, he does not forestall his
election by promising all nationalities
recognition in their ratio to 100000.
The fire department was about to dis
pose of the services of John M. Benja-
min (colored), Waterman at Company
No. q, and, on application to Hon. Il. A.
Smith, Benjamin was retained. This
act in itself amounts to more than all
the promises that dead candidate of
hungry crowd ever made, and infinitely
more than he will ever be called on 10
redeem. If the colored voters. after de-
liberate and unbiased thought, can af-
ford to vote against the friend of their
future interests. then they sacrifice
themselves to a party and their own
welfare becomes obsolete"
