a bill transferring the Signal Service
from the War Department to the De-

unsatisfactory weather that we have been
having for the past year Is reason
enough for a change and if the Depart

we onght to have it. The country at
large will await with anxious expectan-
cy few samples OF weather sent out
by the Department OF Agriculture.

IN any Nation on the globe says the
Chicago Herald, except the United
States the carnival OF robbery now In
progress In Washington and so vIvidIy
depicted by Congressman Carlisle in a
recent interview would produce a mon
etary panic and a civil war. It is evil
dent that the annual expenditures ofthe
Government are to be more than
doubled, that the surplus is to be
turned into defcit, and that tariff and
other taxation, which has already
brought the farmer TO bankruptcy and
beggsry, is to be greatly increased and
extended.

THR PiLtsburg Chronicle- Telegraph
OF Tuesday last, has q four column ar
ticle, giving a history OF the manner In
which the Cambria county Republican
Convention, held in January last, was
captured and the delegates instructed
to vote for Delamater as the choice Of
Cambria county Republicans for Gov
ernor. The article is too long to re-
publish, but the following editorial
from the same paper is a fair lndIca-
tion that the nomination of Delamster.
as the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor by the methods adopted by Quay
and his ring will not be submitted to
by the rank and file in the party with
out protest. The Chronicle Tele-

vestigation Of a representative OF the CRron .

Cambria county delegates were obtained
for G.. Wallace DeIamater
The story OF Cambria Is q story OF fraud
1t is glowing and striking example Of
the methods adopted by that arch manipu-
lator. W. Fl. Andrews. Chairman OF the
Republican State Committee. to bring
about the nomination of his Standard Oil
candidate
Such methods as those employed by
Andrews and his accomrIices in Cambria
and elsewhere are as startling as tn ey are
criminal and demoralizlng.
In county which cast almost 4, ,Oe0 votes
for the Republican candidate for State
Treasurer last November. not one legal
vote and less than rs Illegal votes were cast
two months later at tue primaries
The Primary Election Act OF 1881 was
trampled into the mud by Mr.. Andrews and
his agents. The exposure Of to-day will be
followed by statements in detail as to each
election district In Cambria county,
These statements are backed up by
sworn evidence. and we defy the men who
these charges.
Never before in the history OF politics In

is not to be deferred from publishing the
truth and as near the whole truth as It can
obtain IN regard to Andrews. Delamater and
the lesser political highwsymen.

EX SPEAKER CARLISLE said in
Washington on Tuesday, that he did
not think the Democratic members Of
the committee would take up much
time in discussing the provisions of the
tariff bill. The Mills bill will! be pro-
posed as a substitute, and the report
prepared on that basis. After that the
two bills will be reported to the House
and the discussion will begin as soon
as the reports are printed. The length
of time that will be required to discuss
the measure is q mere matter Of conjec-
ture, but the general opinion Is that it
will take six weeks or two months to
get the bin ou. of the House.

STANLEY IN ST. PAUL.

1t is a rare opportunity which is pre-
evening to pay their respects to an ex-
ceptional mana man whose name will
live in history when most of his con-
temporaries have been entirely forgot
ten. The fortunes of Stanley have
sWayed to and fro from day to day since
his assistants in the Emin Pasha expe-
dition have been exploiting themselves
in print, but so far, though the revela-
tiOns have shocked the civilized world,
no blame has been attached to Stanley,
excepting that of engaging incompetent
officers, but concerning whom he could
not know differently until experience
had tested their merits. People may
entertain what opinions they please
concerning the expedition and its re-
suits, but there is no question as to
Stanley's bravery or courage or strength
of will. He represents the invincible.
He stands for the man who executes
what he undertakes to do, and if he has
not always been as gentle as a dove, it
must be remembered that dove-llke
man was rever known to undertake
ventures like his. MIR. Stanlev's subject
this evening will be THE Rescve of
Emin Pasha, the Forests, PigmieS and
March Across Africa" IL is true that
the prices demanded by his manager.
Maj. Pond, are higher than have been
customary here, but they are the same
as the charges elsewhere. and at these
rates his audiences have been limited

ton, however. that the acoustics of the
Peoples church are so perfect the fact
of the matter is that one seat is practi-
cally just as good as another.

A TEMPLE TO THESPIS.
The metropolitan Opera House
Brilliantly Dedicated
Last Night.
st. Paul GraceS the Occasion
With a Most Superb
Audience.
An Amusement Temple Of
Which the City May Well
Be Proud.
The Opening Night Opera and
Scenes and Events Of
the Evening.

The Metropolitan opera house last
night opened its doors and welcomed Il
st. Paul audience to what is conceded
to be the handSomest place of amuse-
ment in America. Those who were
treated to preliminary glimpse of the
house few nights ago, and who then
went into raptureS over its beauties,
could scarcely believe their eyes when
they last night gazed upon the same
scene, with the addition of the sweilest
and most brilliant audience st. Paul
can turn out. The house is aglow from
top to bottom. 1t possesses all the re-
suits that unlimited money, combined
with the most perfect taste, could pro-
duce. 1t not only fills completely the
great gap left when the Grand burned,
but supplies st. Paul with an amuse-
ment temple that will take first rank
and that will give the city, in national
dramatic circles, a standing second to
none.
The Metropolitan opera house is the
outgrowth of an enterprise that took
root when the Grand was destroyed by
fire. The heat had not left the ashes of
the latter when the former was con-
ceived. Messrs. A. B. Stickney, f. B.
Clark, Ansel. Oppenheim and Arnold
Kalman were the moving spirits
and largely represent the sum
nearly 400,000-that reared the new
theater. Over year ago the GLOBE
first announced the selection of the site !;
and, though that piece of enterprise
was the means of increasing the value
of the site before the purchase was COM
plete, the advantages of the location
were so apparent that no change was
made. The strip of ground running
from Sixth to Fifth street was secured,
and early this year the foundation was
laid. 1t had been the intention to dedi-
cate the house in September. but the
work of construction is necessarily
| slow, and, though the force of men was
increased and the work energetically
prosecuted night and day, the inaug
Grafton was not possible before last
night. Gradually the eight-storied
structure rose and at last came the final
act-the brilliant and successful OPEN
ing. Nothing could have been crowned
with more complete success. The audi
ence could not have been improved
upon by careful selection. Warmer
words of praise than were Showered
upon the management ON every side
are not found in the vocabulary. The
opening attraction was a conspicuous
success and the lights were eXtinguished
late at night, with the entire satisfac-
ton that in its fullest sense the inaugu-
ration was social and operate triumph.

THEATER GOSSIP.

The May Howard Burlesque company
held full sway at the Olympic last even
ing and played to an audience which
packed the theater. Standing room
only greeted late-comers, and every one
went away feeling that they had value
received for their money. From score
of artists it would be difficult to select
any that were without merit. Lizzie
Raymond, the old-time favorite, de-
lighted the audience with her new
songs, while Max Pettingill and his
wonderful trick dog kept everybody i'm
a roar of laughter. The Partisan
sketches are on most elaborate scale,
displaying dazzling array of pretty
girls. Altogether the company is one
of the finest seen at the Olympic this
season. Same bill all the week, with
extra matinee New Years day.
There may be little in the way of plot
or construction from dramatic stand
point in "McCarthy's Mishaps," but
there is superabundance of fun, and
catchy, infectious fun, in it. Barney
Ferguson is irresistibly funny as Nc
Carthy, and the speciality features are
attractive. A special matinee will be
given on New Years day, in addition to
the regular Wednesday and SATURDAY.
matinees. Next week ''The Great Me

sci OF the Mount Carmel company.
While in st. Paul yesterday Mr.. AL
Drecht gave representative OF the
GLOBE some pointers as To the method
he proposes to adopt. The cars TO
run on this newest of new rails
Will resemble in every essential point
the ordinary railroad coach OF to-day.
The roof OF the cars will be dome
shaped and constructed of aluminium.
These domes will be pumped full of gas
untii-the gravitation of the car and it's
freight has been overcome. and its
weight therefore reduced to less than
nothing. The trains, being insensible
tothe earth's attraction, will require no
heavy roadbed, the only thing necessary
being to guide them Alright. The cars
viii be provided on either
side with grooved wheels, similar
toaf the trolle wheel now in
use'on the electric line. These will run
uDon steel cables strung. upon two rows
of5iron posts. There will be no bridges,
as the cables will span rivers and ra-
vines Just as telegraph aud telephone
wires do at present. Mr.. Albrecht says
that by the adoption of this idea the
loftiest mountains can be crossed in an
build line from Denver to New York,
making the trip from the mountains to
Gotham in half day, stopping in Chi
cago for dinner. The way stations will
beoon the ground as usual, though
In the country the cable tracks
will rise to any height necessary
to surmount all obstacles at a uniform
level. regardless of hill or dale. At
each station there will be gas reser-
voir, so that coaches can be inflated and
attached to the train according to the
demands of traffic. The inventor states
that company to float the scheme has
already been organized IN Denver. He
does not call his idea aerial navigation.
The latter he says is illusory. The
former he believes to be the only prac-
teal proposition of its kind yet evolved.
The power used will be electricity, and
the speed to be attained for ordinary
travel is placed at 200 miles per hour.
