RAzzLING A RUMOR.

Relative to the Cessation Of

Wild rumorS which have been flying
about during the past few days anent a
proposed abandonment of the Metropol-
itan opera house at similar stage in its
construction as witnessed the bursting
of the Arcade bubble were effectually
scattered by Arnold Kalman yesterday.
No particular Importance attached to
the stories which have been set ahoat
other than that their circulation tended
to inspire the public with feeling of
diStrust of all theatrical schemes and
promises. Mr.. Kalman was found at
his office by a GLOBE representative,
and when asked if there was any inten-
ton to abandon the building escorted
the queStioner to a point from which
the couple of hundred of busy labOrerS
on the foundations of the new Metro
poltan could be seen to advantage.
Does that look like abandonment?'
he asked, pointing to the rapidly rising
stone walls, and then continued: ut
seems to me that such rumorS should
not receive an inStant'S consideration.
They bear evidence Of falSehOod on
their face, and are not worthy Of con-
tradction even. Do you know that all

pointing to a handsomely finished opera

most minor detail. Now to suppose that

the doubtful and extremely expensive
fun of making a bluff at the st. Paul

Every announcement made by us con-
corning the house or its management

and will be carried out to the letter.
hope that the rumOr fiend will now sub

The Chamber of Commerce Heart
ily Joins the Procession.

The weekly session yesterday morn
ing of the chamber of commerce was al
most entirely devoid Of public interest.
II. P. Hall secured the adoption of a
resolution by which it was resolved that
the chamber unite with the Minnesota
Editorial association in extending an
invitation to the National Editorial as
ISOLATION to meet in st. Paul in 1891.
The resignation of Lewis Baker was
received and referred to the nominating
committee. W. HI. Patterson, chairman
of the entertainment committee of the
educational association, appeared be-
fore the chamber and reported that
private accommodation had been Sc
cured for 5000 teachers attending the
convention. 1t was expected that at
least $1,000 would have to be accommo-
dated in this way, and general co-opera
ton of citizens was requested. E. w.
Peet, chairman of the finance commit
tee of the association, said more money
would be needed.

Talked Without a Quorum.

1t was expected that the meeting of
the committee on streets, called for last
evening to pass upon the placing of car
tracks on Eighth street, between Robert
and Wabasha, would be in the nature OF
shindy. 1t wasn't, probably for the
reason that no quorum was present.
Mr.. Mcmillan, one of the DIRECTORS, was
on hand. presumably loaded to the
guards with arguments. Those present
sat around and talked about the smoke
nuisance, economy in fuel consumption
from an oil, coal and wood standpoint,
and other equally interesting topics.
This informal chat lasted until nearly
Q o'clock, when the gentlemen with
drew, several going to the Olympic and
others to the adjacent refreshment

WANTED HIS CREDIT
And a Row Ensued-A Peculiar
Case in Court

The case of w. r. GoodSell against
John F. Broderick was called late yes
terday afternoon before Judge Kerr.
By consent of the attorneys of both
sides the trial was allowed to proceed
before six jurors, the other members of
the struck panel being absent or ex-
cused. The action is to recover $1,000
for alleged assault and battery
committed about year ago. The
plaintiff, in his testimony. stat
ed that he was travelling
man for the Ryan Drug company at the
time the Offense was committed, Mr..
Broderick being member of the firm.
One day while he (plaintitf) was look
ing over the books, he discovered that
he had not received credit for certain
orders that he had sold. He called the
defendants attention to the diScrep-
ancy, and war of words ensued. which
eliminated in the discharge of Good
sell. The latter states that he was
about putting on his coat preparatory
to leaving the store when he was vio-
lently attacked by Broderick, who
chOked and otherwise roughly handled
him. The defense claims that Goodsell
invited the attack by the use OF insult
ing language towards the defendant,
who demonstrated by gently showing
the disgruntled knight of the grip the
door.

DOTS AND DASHES.

The walters combined, the cooks or.
gained, and now the BARRIERS have
united. Working people of all classes
are beginning to find out that in union
alone there is strength. Cardinal Glib
bons was not very wide of the mark the
other day when he said the labor prob
lem would be first solved in America,
despite the great advances the laboring
classes were just now making in Euro
pean countries. The organization of
the working people in local unions, and
their utilization with national bodies,
will enable them to WELD considerably
more power than they have hitherto
done, and their claim for better treat
ment, higher wages, shorter hours, and
all that there is to make life worth liv-
ing, must in the end be conceded. The
greatest danger the laboring classes
have to fear lies through the men they
select as leaders. The proneneSs of
these men to ''Sell out" to the highest
bidder is what has so long retarded the
growth and influence of the laboring
element. They possess all the power
that is requisite, but have been thwart-
ed in using it for their best interests by
the base treachery of leaders in whom
they have too implicitly trusted.
Outside few capitalists and others.
no one will wall against the decision of
the United States court OH the sO-caled
Scheffer meat inspection law. The law,
while it was in active operation, merely
increased the price of meat without
adding to its quality. There are many
who aver that the quality of the meat
supplied was not so good. The great
benefits which were also to accrue to
the farmers were pure figment. The
only people benefited were the butch
ers, the stockholders in stock yard COM
panieS and the individuals who dropped
into fat offices created by the passage of
the bill.
Now that the educational convention
is drawing nigh. would it not be well if
the officers of the local executive had
something else to report in addition to

As some 10000 teachers, if not
more, are likely to visit the city, bust
ness men should be ready to bear GER

ought to have been no trouble in rails
ing $4,000, especially when the city
council appropriated $1,000. AS to ac-
commodationS needed, the local officers
should at first vigorously prosecute
canvass of the city. 1t would be an
everlasting disgrace if, when the con-
vention is held, accommodations could
not be provided for all the visiting edu-
cationaIists.
