ABDICATION.

All Minneapolis is agitated over the
plans of Dog Catcher HIDDEN, who
has resigned in the newspapers as often
as Secretary NOBLE, and who none the
less continues to exercise the solemn
duties of his office. When he was in
augurated as dog catcher there was
much jubilee in the Flour City, and his
inaugural address was generally spoken
of as eXcelling in every respect any
previous effort of the sort in the
memory of living men. Some people,
it is true, did criticise it as being
a little too statistical, but the gen.
eral consensus of popular opinion
was in its favor. Two or three things,
however, have interferred with the
complete success of his administration,
but the GLOBE does not believe that
any of these affords the true eyplana-
ton of his abdication, if it is really a
fact that he proposes to abdicate. He
would have enjoyed his position more.
had he been permitted to delegate part
of his duties to deputies, because this
would have left him more leisure for
PINDAR and the other poets. in whom
he takes great delight; and had the sum-
mer been warmer and rabies more prev
alent, his income would have been
gratifyingly larger. But the actual Sc
cret of his discomfort is not TO be found
here.
The real trouble is that Mr.. HIDDEN
has a beard of several parasangs in
length, which sWaYs and rocks in the
breezes like the willows at Ophelia's
pool. One day recently. on Henne-
pin avenue, a stranger from Kansas
who was In attendance IN the o
vention of the Y. p. S. c. E. rushed up
to him warmly and SAID "How do you
do. Mr.. PETER, and how goes it with
anarchy?" During the following week
this experience was so often repeated
that finally Mr.. HIDDEN procured a
bound volume of the writings of the
lunatic successor to Mr.. INGALLS,, and
was electrified to discover from a por-
trait which constituted its frontispiece
his resemblance 10 Senator PETER
to be so startling that all the
mistakes which had been made
were not only natural, but al
most inevitable. Since then he has
felt satisfied that he has mistaken his
vocation, and all his friends have as
sured him that any man with whiskers
as long as his owes it to the world to
stop catching dogs and to begin regen-
Grating society. This will account for
his recent statements: Il shall catch
no more dogs" and 81 will resign if
asked to do So" In other words, Mr..
HIDDEN's mind is made up. lie is in
the hands of his friends. The CLONES
advice to him is. to waste no time over
the composition of a letterof abdication.
Even if he should try, he couldn't do
better than did ST. Paul's Mr.. ERWIN on
a recent occasion. Let him send a
messenger to Mayor WINSTON with an
epistle like this
Each individual, 1 think. has duties, per
sOnalities. moods, sorrows. wounds and blood
born prides, in whose broad domain lie
camped the unseen but potent destinies
which control, design and give intention
the sacred character of fate. Therefore l
resign. HIDDEN. Dog Catcher.
Then let him hasten TO PEFFER's and
DoNNELLY's and doc FIsH's side,
that man may no longer grovel, but soar
and soar and soar.

A OF LAW.

President HARPER, of the new Chi
cagO university, used to be professor OF
the Semitic languages at Yale college.
He is a vigorous young man, who has
done much to populaTiZe the study OF
the Scriptures in the original tongues.
During the recent convention of the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor IN Minneapolis he took a
prominent part in the exercises,
and on the Sunday afternoon fol-
lowing its adjournment he oecu-
pied the pulpit of the First Baptist
church in this city. The First Baptist
church, it will be remembered, is the
one under the pastorate of the Rev.
WALLACE II. BUTRICK. the man who
Is reported to have said that it costs
$1,000, 600 a year 10 run the st. Paul
municipal government, and who proved
ROBERT A. SMITHS unftness to be
mayor by some interesting instances of
the violation of the usuIy law IN this
country.
This President HARPER is about to
sail for Europe, and in a published in
terview has stated that the purpose of
his trip is partly for rest and partly to
engage professors there for the new
university. The reporter to whom he
gave this information asked the rev
erend gentleman how he propose to get
import teachers from Europe in view of
the act of congress forbidding the land
ing in our ports of aliens coming under
contract for employment nthis country.
DR.. HARPER is said to have smiled Sig
~nificantly, and to have replied that he
proposed to make no contracts with
them; that he had no authority to do
anything of this kind; that he would
simply pick them out, and that after
their arrival in Chicago, and then only,
the trustees would arrange the details
OF their engagement.
The GLOBE submits that a programme
of this sort is as much a violation of the
law as though the president actually
signed a contract with the professors,
and smuggled them in as n Smuggles
diamonds and jewelry. What he will
do will be to give them assurance of
employment, and, relying on that, they
will come to our shores. They will have
made no formal contract. and will ex-
pect to get by the custom house through
this device. But to all intents and pur-
poses they will be under contract, and
their admission will be a defect and
thwarting of a statutory provision.
To be sure, the alien contract
law is not the wisest n in
the volume of federal statutes.
But that is not the point. A law is a law,
and if is every good citizens place to
submit to it, however much he may OBJ
ject. and however foolish itmay appear to
him. The GLOBE and Mr.. BUTRIcK have
agreed all along that they had nc SYM
patty for iawbreakers of any shape or
pattern. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
BUTRICK will write a letter of remon-
STRANGE to his Chicago friend, so learned
in the Semitic languages. If this does
no good, let us have a fierce sermon
from the Baptist pulpit, filled with per-
sonal remini SCIENCES and hot invective,
showing up this wanton disregard of the
acts of congress.

kota, reports that cutting there will
begin in a week or ten days. and that
every Indication points to overlooking
granaries, the local wiseacreS predict
ing that there will be thirty bushels of
wheat for every acre under cultiya-
ton in the district. Kansas is re-
joicing in the prospect of a total
yield of 50,0OO,0 900 bushels, but those
who know place Minnesota's proba-
bic output at twice that figure. If
this hope is realized, ~one-ifth of the
grand wheat harvest of the nation will
be contributed by this commonwealth
alone. The discouraged farmer may lift
up his head, and every industry in the
state may look with confidence into the
future. With plenty of grain and fair
prices for it, the unhappy past will
be forgotten in the prosperity of the
DAYS at hand.

CHEAP FAME.

A young lady in n of the towns in
Connecticut is obtaining a vast amount
of newspaper celebrity. Her name is
Miss IRENE w. COLT, and the basis of
her sudden fame is that she has passed
the examination requisite for admission
to Yale college. This no doubt war
rants the statement that she is a ''brainy
girl" This might be conceded from her
picture, which is following the long
patent channels that lead to a notOriety
touching two oceans. She has an intel
lectual cOuntenance, and. withal. attract
i've features, classical and good for the
eyes to liDger on 1t would be rude
and unwarranted to intimate that her
fame may lead the way to a
dime museum or the stage. But
there is really no occasion for
ally high enthusiasm over the
fact that a young woman has
passed the intellectual ordeal for adj
mission to a college that does not make
provision for females. The past few
years, perhaps nearly every year, young
men from the st. Paul high school have
passed this Yale examination. and it is
not remembered that failures have been
reported. The young ladies who pur-
sued the same studies with them, no
doubt, would have equal success if they
had Il fancy TO advertise themselves IL
this way. If any of the yniIHg men hal
thought to present themselves to the ey-
aminers for Vassar or Wellesley. no
doubt they would have passed credit
ably: bnt.whether this would have given
them fame in the newspapers Is not GER

At the entrance 1 found an official who it
appears was the curator. His face in some
manner brought to my mind elusive recollec-
tons, and on inquiry he told me that while
on earth he had been secretary of numerous
societies. His temperament was so mild. and
he was so kind and obligIng, that his com
pany was a source of real pleasure TO me. He
invited me to enter and look around, and

but one large spacious room, the vaulted
roof of which was supported by marble pill
lars. On the sides. and through the room
were row. of handsome cases in which were
the most wonderful fossils tina ever ex-
listed.
The curator led me to a set of cases which
were labelled, FOSSILS of the Railroad Age"
in which were car wheels, pinch bars, pieces
of rails, ties. tickets, passes and many other
objects, including, indeed. a wrecking scene,
which, by some wonderful process of nature.

In other cases were fossils of the Banking
Age, such as ledgers. blotters, stubs, bank
notes, drafts, cheeks, mortgages, etc.
Another set of cases contained fossils of
the Legal Age. and there could be seen
proudly displayed law books. reports, di-
gests, supreme court reports, records of fill

still other cases contained fossils of the
Medical Age, drugs of various kinds all crys-

SACRED to the Memory
WILLARD GLAZIER,
who Did Not Discover Elk Lake."

After passing around and critically examin-
ing this curious monument and its surround
ings, my attention was attracted to a large
and imposing building which stood on a lit
tie eminence in a thick grove of trees, which
had hitherto hidden it from my view. Re-
crossing the bridge 1 soon arrived at a point
where l could view this grand and stately
structure, which was built of ~vari-colored
marble that blended so harmoniously as to
give a most pleasing impression to the mind.
In front and along the sides were stately col
umns of pure white marble, and on the front
facade above the entrance was the inscrip-
ion:
