A GREAT ADVERTISEMENT.

The greatest and best advertisement
the city of St. Paul has ever had it gets
in the breaking up of the prize fight.
The word had gone out to the fartheSt
ends of the continent that the st. Paul
Athletic club, composed, in part, of
leading citizens of this fair city, had
arranged to have fight "to the fniSh''
between two thugs. The sporting ira
ternity'' of both sexes throughout the
country were deeply interested in the
event. Gamblers and bruisers floeked
to the Sanity City from the farthest
cities of the, Union in order to enjoy the
sport and shear the laurels of this
bailiwick. Saloons and houses of bad
repute were rtaping rich har
vest, while the merchant in legiti-
mate trade might as we'll have
had closed doors so far as selling his
goods was concerned. 1t was under
stood that the governor and mayor had
been captured. and the leading news
papers placated by tie fraternity" and
the track ahead seemed to be clear. But
ever since the day of the announcement
of the signing of the articles of agree
ment for the prize fight ''fOr the benefit
OF the Athletic club a quiet work was
going on among the people VINO have
the best and permanent interest of the
city at heart. The elimination of this
work was the public announcement
yesterday afternoon that the disgraeeful
affair was off, so far as st. Paul was con-
cprDPd. The iaw-abiding element had
triumphed. This fact was carried with
lightning speed to every telegraph
station, town and hamlet in America.

DIFEUsING CLIMATE.

The diffusion of hot air through pipes
has long been a common fact within
certain limits. Perhaps it will be
found economically practicable to sup
ply all the heat needed for house pur-
poses in a considerable radius from the
dinusing center. Then, too, it is found
practicable to distribute cool air in a
similar way. Some of the larger cities
i'm the uncomfortable districts in the hot
months, like st. Louis, New York and
Chicago, have been experimenting in
this way with refreshing effects. The
cool air Is distributed to dwellings, the
aters and public places, and to the re-
ceptacles for periShable goods. The
process of diffusion is said to be so sim
pie and inexpensive that it is likely
to come into wide use in the regions
where the sun gets in an excess of
benefieence for pleasant physical
conditions. In this climate almost no
need is had for any such interference
with the diSpenSations of nature. as
there are but few days in the year when
one cares for refrigerating external in
fiuences. There are, however, occa-
siOnal individuals and assemblies that
would perhaps have their sanitary and
social conditions promoted by turning
On currents of cold air. Mental and
emotional friction might be reduced
salubriously by such expedients. For
instance, it will occur to some that the
past two or three days the opportunities
for reducing the temperature of indi-
viduals by draughts of refrigerated at
moSphere have been specially numer-

aFAvoRABLE SHOWING.

1t is sometimes asserted that in
this country the poor are becoming
poorer" " hen one recalls the carrier
conditions. and looks at such social and
economic statistics as are available, the
statement does not seem to harmonic
with the data; only the ineorrigible pes
simist can accept it. 1t is, however,
quite safe to assert that the masses in
this country are not obtaining anything
like an equitable share in the enormous
increase of the wealth of the land. The
few are appropriating the bulk of it,
and largely possessing 1t Dy the opera
ton of inequitable laws and public
policies. One of the recent census bull
letins seems to show that pauper-
ism. as found in the public institutions,
is not keeping pace with the growth
of population. The inmates of the
almshOuses we're given as sc, 203 in 1880
and 73,O45 in 1890. This is an increase
of but about 10 per cent, while the pop
ulation has more than double that pel-
centage. A decade ago there was oil e
pauper in these houses 10 75S inhabit-
ants, while there is now but one to

ment in the methods with the insane.
Many have been taken from the pauper
houses to asYlurns; but if any Of Il e
census figures may be accepted, the
pauper element is losing ground, even
with all the accessiOnS from abroad.
Some % the reformers look to time
when the almshouseS will have only

possible that the drift is in that direc

WHY HE FAILED.

When FRED DOUGLASS was appoint
ed minister to Hayti there were none of
the apparent incongruities that made
the selection of Senator BLAIR as the
recipient of minister's salary in China
so ill-adviSed. There was harmony of
complexion and presumably of origin,
and if the venerable FREDERICK did
have white wife, it was his personal
matter and nothing to the Haytians.
But after a troubled career among his
sable brethren DOUGLASS has returned,
and it is intimated that he will go no
more out toward Hayti. His failure to
make himself acceptable there was par
TALLY due to the complexion of his wife
and the lack of social adjustments, but
the chief reasons for his unpopu-
larity are otherwise stated. The
blacks in the Hayti lands are, per-
haps, different from their race
in this country. They have high-toned,
aristocratic tastes. The United States
minister shocked their finer Sensibili-
ties. One specification is that he rode
about in a one-hOrse vehicle such as the
common people used, and more fragrant
was his exhibition of eOurteSieS and
hospitality to visitors. His only tender
to them was drink of Jamaica rum.
That is perhaps the most familiar local
beverage, and that made it the more
offensive. coming from high function
airy. There was no repugnance to the
liquor in itself, but it was as dispensed
an imputation upon their social stand
ing. They expected champagne and
high-priced wines, and he inSulted them
with rum. They admire fine horses and
gay, daShing equipage with driver and
attendants in brass buttons and silk
hats. Most of the natives of that
country would rather drive fast trOt-
tiers and serve in the livery of any col
Ored civilization than to work, even with
plenty of Jamaica rum. 1t is regarded
as high tribute to the social and civic
order in Hayti that the United States
minister jogging about in "hiS one-horSe
shay" was not mobbed, at least, by the
hoOdlums. Ii indicates that HIPPoLYTE
compels the recognition of public amen
tiles even if he does enjoy killing peo-
pie. DOUGLASS should not be sent back
unless no man of his complexion can be
found willing to go to Hayti on a good
salary and ingratiate himself with the
people by his style of equipage and
vinous hospitality.

St. Paul's Generosity.

Des Moines Capital.
The city has a marvellous railway sys-
tenn, and is the head of navigation OH
the Mississippi river. There is no more
enterprislng city under the shining sun;
nor is there more generous, hospitabIe
people. The city is growing in a sub
stantial manner, and already is noted
for its many palatial homes, gigantic
business structures and enterprises.
The name of ''St. Paul'' forms part of
the names of many railways and other
corporations, and therefore is twidelv
advertised. The street cars of st. Paul
are of the cable or electric variety, the
horse and mule having disappeared,
which cannot yet be said of Chicago.
This splendid Minnesota city enter
tanned the 1000 men and women
of the National Editorial association
last week.
The business men Of st. Paul had
evidently expected much from the edi-
tOrial association, and had made every
preparation to entertain the crowd in
the most hospitable manner. The press
badges were passes on all the street Car
lines, excepting the lire leading to Min
neapolis, which st. Paul people eX-
plaiGedwas owned by Minneapolis peo-
pie. A ride around the city was tell
dered OH the afternoon of the first day,
and an opportunity given to see all parts
of tine city. The ride to Fort Smelling
was melted by st. Paul business men,
and the press badge was sufficient for
the railroads. The ride to the fort was
by the Milwaukee line. The ride to
Minnetonka was on the Great Northern
line, which has $500 miles of railway
leading out OF st. Paul. The press club
of St. Paul rendered reception and
complimentary banquet, including re-
freShmentS and dancing, at their splen
did rooms Thursday night, following the
reception by Gov. Merriam. Formal in
vitationS were extended by all the swell
clubs, the Minnesota club, the Town
and Country club, and another whose
name is not now recalled, and their
rooms thrown open to all the editorial
visitors. The proceedings of the ses-
sion, and the end of st. Paul's hospital
ity, terminated with grand banquet at
MinnetOnka Friday night, proceeded
by an afternoons ride on the lake.
The banquet at night was in the famous
Hotel Lafayette, which is nearly 1000
feet long, and contains over five acres
of floor surface. This hotel is owned
and the general interests of the lake
promoted by the Great Northern rail-
road. The entertainment Of the editors
by st. Paul was of the wholesome, gen
erouS, Western style that stops at moth
ing that can promote the happiness of
visitors, whether it be the constant at
tendance of mandolin club, boat rides
on lakes. Evolutionary entertainments
at lake side resorts or the distribution
of choice chewing gum. st. Padk is
great place.

THE WHALEBACKS.
English ShipbuiIders Take a
Fancy to Them.

Fancy to Them.
LIVERPOOL, July 22.-In an interview
to-day, Capt. Saunders, of the new
American steamer Charles w. Wet
more, which sailed from Duluth, Mimi,
on June 11,arriYing here yesterday, says
that during the fourteen days voyage
between Cape Breton and Liverpool the
vessel averaged nine knots an hour. He
says she was much less susceptible to
the action of the wind and waves than
vessel of the ordinary type. She had
experienced strong winds, sending
waves over the port quarter,
and this, perhaps, was the
severest test to which she could
have been subjected. The fact that the
steamer neither pitched nor rolled
heavily, the motion being much less
than that of an ordinary steamer, he
thought was proof of the superior sea-
going qualities of the whalebacks. Since
entering the Waterloo dock the Wet
more has been inspected by numerous
shippers and shipbuilders, many of
whom have expressed the opinion that
the new type of vessel will revolution
ize the freighting commerce of the
ocean.
Mr.. Hastings, chief mate on the Wet
lnOI6, says Ill6 NtoSoL 0iCOuHLCIOu any
quantity of beam seas and justified the
expectation of her proprietors, scarcely
rolling at all. Mr.. Tasting then said:
There were no head seas to speak
of. The tendency as to pitching,
therefore, was scarcely so fully tested.
Her merits as sea boat are
undoubted, and the more see of her
the better | like her," The surveyors
of the Wetmore's cargo, which consists
OF 5000 bushels of grain, have declared
it to be in the finest of condition. 1t is
reported in shipping circles that a de-
signer has planned whaleback passen-
ger steamer with two rows of decks
supported by pillars.

A GREAT CONFLICT.

Gov. MERRIAM, Sheriff BEAN and
the other officers of this county charged
with the enforcement of law may rest
confident that they will have the stern
and serious Endorsement of all men
whose commentator is worth enjoying,
for their course in suppressing the prize
fight which it was proposed to hold in
this city last night. There ARE, it is
true, many citizens of high character
and good Judgment who criticise them
angrily this morning; but in the long
run, and after reflection has taken the
edge from their disapp ointment, all
such will admit that they were right
The GLOBE is never inclined to speak
harShly of people. or to refuse men
credit for acting from good and hOnora-
bic motives, even when appearances
may seem to the thoughtless to be
against them. But on question of this
kind there is only one position for pub

position which the GLOBE has main
tanned from the beginning in this and
every similar eXigency. If at any time

BANHoLzER INDIGNANT.
More May Be Heard About Order
ing Out the Militia.

To say that the Fifth ward citizens
are hot in the collar is simply putting
it mild. Aid. Banholzer, who repre-
sents the city at large for the ward, last
evening quietly walked along the sids-
walk leading towards the pavilion
where the supposed fight was to take
place. when he was suddenly stopped
at the point ef a bayonet and asked to
halt. Upon Inquiring as to whether
this was not a public highway
and citizen had q right to walk
npon it he was told that it was now I'M
der the control of the state. The alder
man insisted upon continuing his even
ing walk, when he was halted by
another militiaman who did not know
whether to present his gun or the pea
nuts he was eating at the time. Sew
eral constituents of the alderman ar
rived, and had it not been for the appar-
tune arrival of Maj. Bend the citizen
soldiers might have had to look for
another camp last evening.
The police force, who had an
ample number of men ON the
grounds to control any emergency that
might arise, were considerably put out
at the interference of the militia.
AT midnight considerable disturbance
had been created by the ill-feelIng
which seemed to exist between the
state troops, police and citizens of the
ward, which was considerably aug
mented by the fact that the militia had
disagreed among themselves as to
whether they really ought to interfere
with the fight or not, which finally cul-
minated by one of the citizen soldiers at
the point of bayonet running one Of
his comrades about block beyond the
line that peaceable citizen could not

a conflict comes between the law on the
one side and the lawless on the other,
no matter how unreasonable it may be
III its provisions and unfortunate in its
application, the law must aud shall pre-
vail. Any other view makes the statute
b Ooks of the state idle words, to be OBJ
served or not observed, according as the
temporary and ever-shifting caprice of
the executive authorities may suggest.
Life under such a system would be in
tolerable. No man or woman in this
community can tell the moment when
his life or property may depend on his
ability to call to his prompt and efficient
aid the machinery of the law, and every
one of us is interested in preserving its
strength and integrity, that it may not
fail him in the hour OF need. If there
has been foolish or unjust legislation, it
should be repealed; but as long as the
laws exist and are not at variance with
the rights and liberties secured us by
the constitution. it is the duty of every
good citizen to submit to them.

FIGHTERS ARE Fooled
Continued From First Page.

Davies, and Jim Corbett, of California,
were discussing the slip in the fisticuff
last evenining IN Halls room at the
Metropolitan. The Parson said:

aud he told me that the fight would not
come off, so that ends the matter for the
present. Hall will keep In condition for a
few days so that if there is a chance to get
together he will be in prime condition.
Hall was lOunglng on his bed. He is
a fine looking young man Of twenty
three years-yesterday being his birth
day. He talks in a slow manner, with
an Irish accent, and seems gentlemanly
in demeanor as well as talk. He said
he was entirely satisfied with his train
ing, and felt in excellent condition. He
described his method of training, and
especially that part of it which tended
to test his wind and staying qualities.
He said his opponent is good man, and
would make a good fight. He was anx-
ious to have the contest come off, and
hoped arrangements to that end may be
made within few days. He did not
know that it is contrary to law to box
in this state until day or two ago, and
whilst he was anxious for the contest
yet he has no desire to spend ninety
days in workhouse where the fare is
said to be none of the best.

Gus. Picture in the mind the toDing
effect upon many individuals in
easy mental reach. Still, such incidents
in this community are cratic and alb
normal. There is no considerable
showing for the local use of this
scheme. Chicago. however, should have
ample provision of this sort in season
for the worlds fair. 1t is not fully I'M
derstoOd what are the limitations in
distance for the profitable workings of
diffusion of cold air, but temperature is
not the only consideration. Chicago is
located in a marsh, and its river has the
sewer aroma. What adelight it would be
to the visitors at the fair if they could
inhale the pure, enlivening atmosphere
of st. Paul or other districts where the
bacili or other noXious things can find
no means of subsistence. Something of
this kind may be feasible.

INDIAN MISSIONS.
Bishop Kahn Scores Commissioner

Morgan.
WHEELING, w. Va, July 22.-The
Intelligencer of this city will tomorrow
morning print letter from Right Rev.
John J. Kahn, bishop of Wheeling. and
a member of the Catholic board
for the distribution of the funds
collected for Indian missions. In the
letter Bishop Kahn says, regarding the
pending trouble between Commissioner
OF Indian Affairs Morgan and the Catho-
lie Indian bureau, tat it is a mistake to
say that the controversy is between the
commissioner and the bureau, and
therefore does not necessarily touch the
schools under Catholic control.
He says: 1.-The question at issue does
touch vitality the interests of our Cath
Ollie Indian schools. From his very i'll
duction into Office, Morgan has shown
his ant-Catholie Digotry. The fact is
that Morgan, seeing the superior ex-
cel!enee of our Catholic Indian schools.
would like to seculariZe the whole
system, scheme which FORUM

ment has refused TO indorse. The

affairs said the other day that the reason
of the success of the Jesuits more than
any other sect was that they devoted
their lives to the work and struck
