A PLAYED-oUT BUGABoo.

Whatever may be the outco me or
outgrowth of the Cincinnati conyen-
ton, whatever else its worth or
worthlessness may be, it served the
nation one good purpose, at least.
The reports describe how delegate in
the course OF his speech added point to
his argument by announcing that he
had been Confederate soldier. There
upon another delegate rushed onto the
platform and seized the speakers
hand, declaring that he had been sol
dier of the Union. Before the applause
had subsidized which this scene of fra
termination caused negro delegate
Joined the two, and clasped hands with
them, and the house fairly shook with
the cheers that greeted this picturesque
coming together in peace and amity of
the three factors of the war; this union
of the blue. the gray and the black.
The blue and the gray have mingled
together for years in Democratic
conventions; the blue and the black
have met in Republican conyen-
tons; but we believe it was left for the
Cincinnati convention to afford this
otlihliiS OHluouCC VI uOW ldT IOWdTu
complete unifieation we have travelled
since the war, when the three diScord-
ants can blend tremendously in one
purpose. The event emphasizes again
tie declaration of the Ocala convention
against sectionalism and for national
brotherhood; it shows how weary the
masses are of the old cry of hatred and
how determined they are to stop it, and
it tells Republican politicians that they
cannot hope to find another presidency
wrapped up in the bloody shirt. 1t
sends to the lumber room of played-out
bugaboos another piece of stage furni-
ture which has stood that party well in
times past, when all that stood between
it and defeat was the fear that the
negro's liberty would be ieopardized as
a result Of Democratic victory. The
convention was made worth its cost by
this one incident

CROTHERS IN BOSTON

Rev. Mr.. CRoTHERs, of Unity church.
has been in Boston for the past week or
two attending the fiftieth annual ami
versary of the Unitarians. The quail
ties of man and preacher which have
won him such admiration from the best
people in st. Paul have met with hearty
appreciation abroad, and when he re-
turns it will be with the memory of
applause and attention from larger
audiences than he has at home fresh in
his mind. He has preached during his
absence at Kings chapel, the fount of
his creed, and his sermons were re-
ceiyed with conspicuous favor, and COM
mented on by the local press and the
general public as notable examples of
profound and accute pulpit oratory. The
GLOBE publishes in another column this
morning his address at the festival
which completed the anniversary week.
1t came last on an evenings programme
which included the speech of Congress
man WILLIAMS on the duty of the pull
pit in reference to public affairs, which
has attracted such attention and re-
marks by MINoT j. SAVAGE, Boston's
leading Unitarian.
And yet at such point and in su Oh
surroundings Mr.. CRoTHERs' wit and
merry cleyerness, covering depth and
thought with happy expression, are ad-
mitted to have been the features of the
evening. 1t behooyes St. Paul to prize
man of this calibre while he lives and
works among its people. A career in
the pulpit has few visible rewards ex-
cept those which come in the shape of
large cations and popular inter-
est, and if any man deserves such
things it is the pastor of our Unity

DID NOT RUN.

If SCHwEINFURTH. the Rockford
Christ, did not make any supernatural
display of power at Kansas City when
the spiritually alien element gave him
twenty-four hours to leave the place in,
he did not meekly flee. He recognized
the temporal powers. and secured the
protection of the police. At his Illinois
town legal efforts to break up the nests
of this unctious humbug have failed,
and it seems that even in the less con-
servatiye Missouri border town he has
been able to restrain the expression out
side of law. He furnishes more diff
cult subject for repression than the
polygamy of Utah, as no legal evidence
is had of any violation at his instance of
civil OF moral law. In an interview at
Kansas City he was asked his opinion of
the alleged immaculate conceptions in
his earthly heaven, and said he accepted
the testimony of the ladies and knew
that they were right. He should be
sent to a reformatory few years to re-
lieve such miracles of suspicion.

THE JURY NUISANCE.

"Pve been just two weeks on jury
and we aren't through yet" said low
er town business man. sit is an out
rage. Here / am forced away from my
work, losing money, hurting my trade
by my absence, cooped up in box with
eleven other men to help settle dis
pute between men and about something
we know nothing and care nothing
about, and we get dollar a day for it.
It's blankety shame, and | can't see
what's the good or use of it. Why
can't they get up some WY of settling
facts that Won't annoy US business men
so?" My dear fellow" the GLOBE re-
piled, lit cannot be done. If some one
who thinks dS you do should offer bill
to rid society of this inefficient nuisance,
every lawyer in the house and senate
would rise in turn with solemn mien
and voice to warn off the hands of sac
rilege which would profane this
venerable bulwark of our liber-
ties; you would hear them tell
about King John and the barons
and Magma Charta, and of kingly and
Judicial oppression, until you would
Imagine the poor devil who only
thought he was helping humanity move
up peg in its toilsOme progress, in Of
fering his bill, was some ruthless Sam
son with his hands on the pillars that
uphold the entire social fabric, threaten
ing to bring down on us all the posts
and pillars, girtS and roofs in irretriev-
able ruin. And yet, my dear sir, the
real true fact is that all lawyers and
judges. down in their inner conscious
ness. feel just as you do about it; but no
lawyer but knows he will some time
want a jury which he can bamboozle
into deciding that black is white, and
that, on the whole, these eases are a
little the more numerous, and so no
lawyer wants Juries abolished.
And the grave judges want them to
'enllghten the conscience of the court
as the books put 1t, which means that it
is very awkward for judge, or any one
else for that matter, to have to tell a
party to suit that really he cannot be-
lieve what he has SOlemnly sworn to !:
that, in fact, he has committed perjury
as the judge would have, in effect, to do
In most every case he should try, and
just what jurymen have to do now; and
1t is very convenient for the judges to
shift this very unpleasant duty onto
twelve citizens, to whom he can give
the law of the case and let them WreS-
tie with the disputed facts. So you will
find the judges almost a unit to keep up
the system; and with the bench and the
bar with it, don't you see that the jury
method is pretty firmly entrenched?
But some day lot of you fellows will
break into the legislature and tell the
grave and pOnderous bigwigs to go to-,
and you will pass a constitutional
amendment, and every voter in the
state who ever sat on jury will vote
aye, and there will be no more iuries,
and the judges will decide the facts in
law cases just as they do now in equity
cases; and everybody will wonder why
they didn't wipe out the nuisance long
ago; and justice will be better served,
and the social fabric will not only re-
main intact, but be solder than ever.'

DRAMATIC DATA.

The Park theater last evening was packed
TO the foyer with delighted audience. The
opera "Fatinitza' was given a presentation
that has been seldom eXcelled in the CITY,
The chorus was especially good and received
many hearty encores. Miss Alice Varona,
who took the character of Valdimar, sang in
excellent voice, and was the recipient of
many floral tributes. The same bill all the

Great interest is awakened by the approach
ing date of Mr.. Dennelly's review of Col.
Ingersoll's literary and religious ideas. The

lecture his brightelt wit, keenest sarcasm and
most beautiful periods. The critics of DON
nelly are many, but no one can deny his SUI
preme gifts as master in intellectual fenc-
ing. Many people think that Pope Bob'

THE PRINCESS POPuLARITY.


ALBERT EDWARD, Prince of Wales
is undoubtedly jolly good fellow, and
since no one accuses him of having
cheated at cards. his personal popularity
will not suffer bit from his connection
with the baccarat scandal. From our
point of view it seems a little incongru-
Gus for man of his years and position
to be mixed up in such an affair. He is
not only old enough to be a grandfather,
but he is one, and in addition to that, if
he lives bit longer. ne viii be king of
Great Britain and Ireland, and Emperor
of India. AS we look at things in America
the charming little episode which is
now unfolding before Lord CoLERIDGE,
III London. does not exactly comport
with such presentsand prospective dig
nifty. We probably would not expect
king and emperor 10 gamble at all. or
if he did, we should surely be surprised
if, in violation of his compact, he should
tell what had happened at the table to
the first pretty woman whom he thought
1t would interest, and who he nigh
know would tell all about it to everybody
else. But that is what ALBERT Ed
WARD has done along with lot of other
things, and as he goes to testify about
them in a court of law the crowds rise
reVerently at his approach and cheer
him loudly at his depar ture.
The truth is that they do not expect
very much of their crowned heads in
England, and not expecting very much,
they are not disappointed. With one or
two exceptions they have been bad
lot from the beginning, and perhaps. if
some of the exceptions, like WILLIAM
OF ORANGE, had been able to talk the
English language, they might have be-
trayed the fact that even they were not
as good as they were painted. All that
the English ask of their kings, and of
their upper classes In general, is that
they shall be generous and open hand
ed, and as interesting as they can. They
count nothing vicious in a lord, unless
it be stinginess, and it makes no differ
ence to them how dissolute they may
be, II they are free from the faint
OF this objectionable sin. The serious
business of English life in parliament
and the. counting rooms goes Oh without
the assistance of the fashionable people,
and when they interfere in such mat
tiers it is usually in subordinate way.
Their real business is to amuse them
selves, and this they do with considera-
bic success. While they are at it they
also do good deal to amuse the rest of
the world. If it were not for the earIs
who have married dancing girls, the
duchesses who have figured in the di-
vorce courts, and the captains in the
princes set who have cheated at cards,
the English dispatches would be dull
enough reading. The masses there like
to catch glimpses of what is going on
among their betters, and such things
open the windows for them to look in.
The part that the heir apparent is per-
forming in the show adds to its interest,
and endears him on this account. if on
no other, to the hearts of his subjects.

his competitors. the cilO:ce deyolves on
the legislature. CHARLES K. INGERsoLL
used to be governor Of the state term after
term, and when he did not care for the
Office any longer, it went to RICHARD
ID. HUBBARD. Since then there have
been several Republican incumbents,
but they have always been CT o Ell by
the legislature, and have been minority
candidates IN the popular vote. The
tradition in the Democracy is that the
goyernorship shall go to the party's
leading lawyer in the state, and this was
its position when Tom WELLER, of
New London, was elected, and is now
again that Mr.. MORRIS claim is sus-
tanned. The Office is one without emol-
uments or power, but it is dignified
and important position, because so
many able men have held it, and Mr..
MORRIS will add one more to the num-

WHERE DID HE LAND
Search for the Spot Columbus
First Touched.

NEW YORK, June Am expedition
organized by the Chicago Herald sailed
for the Bahama islands to-day at 3
O'Clock On the Ward line steamer San
tiego. The object of the expe-
dition is to search out the
spot where Christopher Columbus first
set foot upon the soil of the new world.
Ii Successful IN finding this spot, the
location of which has hitherto been
matter of great doubt and OF endless
dispute between historians and
geographers, the expedition will
there erect monument from
the Chicago Herald to the discoverer of
America. commemorative of his achieve
ment. and marking the spot on which
occurred one of the most Tremendous
events in the history of mankind.
The mystery as to the actual land
ing spot has never been solved.
, The, only positive evidence available is
that left by Columbus himself in his
journal. which was copied in part by
his friend, Bishop Casas, after
Columbus death. The original
manuscript has disappeared. Co
umbus named the island he first
visited san Salvador. and he described
it as being fiat aud small, and contain
ing large lagoon in the middle. His
torians and geographerS have selected
no fewer than five islands as the San
Salvador Of Columbus.

AN INDIANA MAN.

The New York Sun, Albany Times
and two OF three other prominent pa
pers in New York that are understood
to reflect the mental phases OF the state
executive, are talking about ex-Gov.
GRAY, of Indiana, as an eligible candi-
date for the Democrats to nominate for
president, if it is inadvisable to find
a man in New York. Gov. GRAY was
strongly supported in the last con
vention in place of THURMAN for vice
president. He is popular man in his
own state, but not widely known out
side. His name is found by the New
York men, not by any luminous quality
about it, but as result of some eager
ness to prevent the selection of Mr..
CLEVELAND. There is no objection to
holding up number of good men be-
fore the party eye, but it should not be
taken as indicating hostility to any
man.

SOME JUNE PASSAGES

June is one of the most delightful
months of the year and the efforts of the
opening days of the month to hang dis
nal clouds over it were abnormal and
freakish. In this climate nature be-
gins to exhibit her choice fruits and
products, but, passim, it is the fruitage
season Of the schools. The young peo-
pie pass one of the chrysalis stages of
academic life, and many, perhaps, be-
come mere butterflies. The special
June efflorescence is at the commence
ment delivery. The essays and ora
tons do not usually add much to the
worlds thought, and mistakes are
often made in the magnitude of the
tasks assigned the adolescent exhibit
tors. 1t is unwise for them to
settle the profound problems that
have afforded learned debates to
the ages. Original ideas are not
numerous in any literary produc-
tiOns. and there might well be less flip
pancy in measuring up these efforts.
Pleasant and graceful collections of
familiar ideas, presented in good form

TOO HARD FOR THEM.

The st. Louis paper displayed singu-
lar lack Of local pride. or unfamiliarity
with the religious attachments com
mon in that community, when it made
the test with the decalogue. A squad
of reporters was sent to the gathering
of the most intelligent business forces
on Change at the gathering to receive
the mayor and other nOtables from New
Orleans. Each was furnished with
cards containing the ten commandments
without numbers and not in proper Or
der, and the test was to affiX the num-
bers. That would seem an easy thing
for one who had ever been in Sunday
schools or had a very small acquaintance
with the Scriptures. Out of the hun
dredS who attempted the feat only about
a dozen made a success of it. The New
Orleans mayor had nine of the
ten wrong, and the st. Louis ex-
ecutive did not get one of them
correct. Most of them had an idea that
the short ones were toward the end, but
could only guess atthe order. st. Louis
and New Orleans are not probably av-
erage communities in Biblical and re-
lgious attainments, but it is believed
that there is falling away of late years
in accurate knowledge of the Bible. A
generation ago the intelligent man who
could not repeat the ten command
ments was not in the majority of men
comprising respectable minority.
Those who have the most accurate BIZ
BILE data in their minds are apt to be
the skepticS who have posted them
selves for controversy. The st. Louis
test would not catch many in the st.
Paul chamber of commerce. but it would
be rash wager that one-third of the
members could recite the decalogue
correctly. Whether the recent ques-
tons as to inspiration will tend to a
greater or less acquaintance with the
Scriptures is not quite apparent.

RAIN AND HAIL.
Reports of Extensive Damage Still
Coming In.

Coming In.
CHICAGO. June 4.-Dispatehes from
many points in Wisconsin. Indiana and
Northern and Central Illinois tell of
damage done by the severe storm
of yesterday. At Greenville, Ill.,,
during a thunder storm Yesterday,
lightning killed George B. Hochderfer
and his cousin, whom he was holding on
his lap. At Bloomington. ILL.,, light

injuring domestic. The Holy Trinity
Catholic church was also damaged
Several other Illinois points report
much damage to crops and
number of cattle killed by lightning.
Winamucca, Ind, reports one of the most
disastrous ram storms ever known in
that section. The rain fell in torrents,
washing sidewalks and outhOuses away,
and doing much damage to crops. Ocon-
omowoc, Wis. reports severe hail
storm, with hailsIones of the size
of hens's eggs. Many hundred
panes of glass were broken and the
greenhouses of the market gardeners
were riddled, causing heavy loss. At
Racine two houses were almost demOl-

unroofed and trees blown down, but no
one was injured.
LA PORTE. Ind, June A terrific
hurricane and hailstorm struck this
place last evening. Reports are coming
in. showing great damage throughout

chant in this city whose stock is not
damaged. King & Fildes Co.'s wooden
warehouse roof was blown off, and
$4,000 worth of hannels soaked. The
Quaker church was unroofed, and the

GordOn-Cumming, brother of Sir Will
lam, has lived in Maryland for the past
years as country gentleman, sur
rounded by all the luxuries of
life. He resides with his wife, who
is the daughter of ex-Minister of
Venezuela Adams, in Carroll county,
about forty miles from Baltimore. He
has received several letters from Sir
William, i'll which the lieutenant colonel
of the Scots Guards says he will fight
the matter to the bitter end. Referring
to his brothers alleged mode of play, he
says that Sir William has since early
youth been affected with slight touch
of st. Vitus dance inherited from the
mother, which caused Sir Will
lam to exhibit a nervousness of
the hands. When playing at cards
SirWilliam would invariably toy with his
chips. Mr.. Gordon Cumming thinks
that those who accuse his brother of
cheating thus deceived themselves. He
speaks of the Wilson's as extremely
common people and of Barclay LeVett
as cad" Concerning the famous
contract by Sir William, his brother
says it was done solely that there would
be no expose of the Prince of Wales ex-
orbitant gambling. From the press
dispatches of the trial, Gordon
Cumming says one Is led to be-
lleye that the game at Tranby-
croft house was a small one. True
ne says, the bank was limited to 9IOO,
but when one banker went broke an
other took his place, SO that the baccarat
was for a bigger stake than is generally
supposed. Gordon Cumming has for
