PARKER WINNING FAME.
His Benefit Makes Him a Much-
Discussed Man in Every House.

DCttls
The mOst-talked-of individual in the
city Of Minneapolis to-day is Charles a.
Parker, of the Grand opera house, as
tonight is his benefit night. Every
body WhO-has been heard of I'D to date
is going, and many have been making
preparations for the event for some
time. too, by brushing up OF dress suits.
Those of the fair sex who expect to be
present on benefit night have been
adding few more ornaments to their
opera clOaks. rejuvenating their old
hats or getting new ones. looking after
dainty new slippers and buying new
gloves and all the innumerable little
things contemporaneous with female
loveltness. The young Misses JONES
have admired the recently-married Mrs.
Smiths "chaun de creme'' wrap. little
thinking Mrs. Smiths mother before
her was greatly admired in the same
wrap, and little Miss Envious is actiug
pOuty and declares she won't go at
all'' If she can't have a dress as nice as
her schoolgirl friend across the wav.

ence he isn't the only one she can 90
with in the world. And so if one were to
make careful canvass of many house
holds he would find many little
pleasant anticipatiOns and pretty pouts
that always go in advance of an event
where every one expects to look her
best and overshadOW some one else. In
other words, "a battle of fashion,

The men who are pushing the reSOlu-
lion to repeal the liquor ordinance have
explained their motives. Their eXpla-
nation is satisfactory. if it be entirely
true. and there is no immediate cause
Tor doubling its truth Their aim is
not 10 leave the city of Minneapolis
without any ordinance 10 control the
liquor traffic. but to place upon the or
clnance record a city statute that is not
the acme of righteousness. Few cases
have been tried lately under the relic of
deSpOtism, OF autOcTacy even. that has
done duty as an OTdinance-that is. all
provisions Of that ordinance have not
been enforced by the present judges of
the municipal court. For that reason
the complete imbecility Of portions of
Minneapolis liquor ordinance has been
lost 10 sight by prOtesterS against an
alleged attempt to turn the city
over to lawlessnesS. Not many
months have come and gone
since law abiding. law-pTOtected
saiOOnkeepers were dragged as Grim

and assessed fines ranging all the way
from SO to 500 for opening their places
OF business on Sunday morning TO re-
plenish the fire or get an OyercOat.
And that could be done-and was done
legally unGer that ordinance. Such
law is q disgrace TO the city. 1t should
be removed and replaced by an or
dinance with some justice and a moiety
OF reason in it.

PRESTON B. PLUMR-

"Died from overwork" are the omi-
nous words of the physician who at
tended Senator PRESTON B. PLUMB. of
Kansas. during his last hours. His
death, which occurred near the hour of
noon yesterday. was caused directly by
apopleXy, but the full import of the
words used by DR.. WALES is not
without due significance.
Since 1876 Senator PLUMB has been
one Of the prominent figures in the
United States senate. His political act
ivity was almost limitlesS. OF marked
popularity, rugged character and
striking originality. he made his pres
ence felt in the senate almost, if not
quite, equally with that of his more
brilliant and versatile colleague, Sen
ator INGALLS,. It has been remarked
in Washington upon more than one
occasion that the TWO men composed
the best cross-team representing on the
floor Of the senate any state in the Union.
tits undeniable that the actual work
performed by Senator PLUMB more than
doubled thatOf Mr.. INGALLS,, and equal
ing, If not eXcelling, that of any other
member of the senate. His industry
was marvellous. About one year ago
the fatal sign appeared that warned his
physicians of the impending danger
which yesterday resulted in death. He
was enioined by them to seek absolute
rest from political toll. But the advice
was unheeded, and death came, as it
came stO Secretary WINDOW, while its
victim was in harness.
Considering the political aspect Of
the situation caused by Senator PLUMB
death, it would seem that Mr.. INGALLS,
stood in line for the appointment that
must be made by Gov. HUMPHREY. To
employ term considerably shop-worn
| just at present, the logic of the situation
demands the appointment of INGALLS,
as a successor to Senator PLUMB. The
term of the latter expires in 1895. From
a Republican standpoint it would APP
pear good politics to appoint the brides
cent? statesman. He was beaten by
| an Alliance combination which, it is I'M
derstoOd, the Republicans OF Kansas
deem it their duty to rebuke. Dur
ing the three years intervening between
| now and the expiration of the senatorial
term it will, doubtless, occur to the
| shrewder element of the Republican
party in Kansas that no one can better
repair the broken breaStworks of Kan
sas Republication than INGALLS,. He
will. no doubt, be named the successor
| of Senator PLUMB.

st. Paul has well-equipped and eff
ficient fire department and a water sup
ply adequate for all purposes, but of

conflagrationS in the wholesale district.
and our jobbers have been in consta mt
trouble with the insurance companies.

The insurance companies complain that
at the present charges it is not safe for
them to carry the risks. and the property
owners are sure that they pay already
as much as is expected in other places,
and as they ought.
1t will be remembered that a similar
discussion has just been concluded to
which the insurance of our school
houses gave rise. The companies
thought that the figures were low
enough, while the assembly was of the
opinion that they were quite out of the
question. This last view would proba-
bly, have been still further emphasized

destroyed and the seemingly inevitable
wrangle about settlement ensued.

THOMAS WILSON.

In another column of this mornings
GLOBE the Hon. THOMAS WILSON, of
WinOna, contradicts the reports which
have connected his name of late with
the new United States judgeship for this
circuit and the vacancy in the interstate
commerce commission. He says that he
is not and has not been a candidate for
either of these positions, and suggests
that there is some injustice in forcing
him against his desires and against the
facts to figure as an aSpirant for public
Office. The GLOBE thinks that it has
seen all the published news on this sub
ject; and while the announcement has
many times been made that the pres
ident was seriously considering Judge
WILSON for one or the other of these
honors, it does not remember any ones
having even limited that this was at all
the result of deliberate effort or in re-
Spouse to any expressed ambition
on his part. The popular notion
has been that here was pre-eminentIy
an instance of the Office seeking the
man rather than the man the Office The
distinguished eX-congressman pays the
penalty of his prominence and acknowl-
edged fitness to discharge the duties of
the most eXacting post; and although
an experience like the present one may
have It's annoying features, it surely is
not without its consultations. Were
Judge WILSON willing to accept either
place, and should the president decide
to appoint him. 1t would be fortunate
thing for the country at large. He has
now reached time of life and secured
a success in his private career which
would warrant his devoting the balance
of his days to the public service. The
nation has need of men like him, aud it
is the part of patriotism to respond to
calls made in the days of peace or to
civic responsibilities as much as il is
when volunteers are mastering at wars
alarms. Judge WILSON'S public deniaIs
imply that he does not deem the i'm
mediate demand for him urgent enough
to compel his hardening. But this only
means a postpOnement, not a refusal.
Before long the call will be renewed
from some quarter, and in a tone to
which, as loyal citizen, he will feel
bound to answer. Until then he is en-
titled to the enjoyment of his retirement
as one who has already done much for
the state, and will do more for it in a
wider sphere during the years that are
| to come.

THE WISCONSIN GER RYMAN
DER

The Republicans of Wisconsin, to a
man, are of the opinion that there is no
deadlier sin in crimes catalogue than
the crime of gerrymandering. A year
or two ago they were not so unanimous
about this, and some thought that MUIR
der was just as bad. and treason, per-
haps, even more reprehensible. But
lately they have experienced a great
awakening and the sincereSt change of
heart. In these days murder, as COM
pared with gerrymandering is only a
breach of etiquette, and treason nothing
more than an error of judgment. The
courts can deal mercifully with some
offenSes, and the public winks at others;
but death. in their view, is the only APP
propriate punishment for the author of
an unfair apportionment.
All this depth of feeling has been ex-
cited by the ANDERSON bill redistricting
the state for the purpose of legislative
elections. The Democracy of Wiscon-
sin has for many years given deep
thought to this profound modern sci
ence. Every time Republican major
ity has been called on to tackle the
problem it has produced result worthy
to serve as model for all future stu
dents, and even the opposition has re-
garded its achievements with ad-
miratlon and delight. 1t has taken the
lesson to heart, and, the oppOr-
tunity having been accorded it to apply
what it has been learning, it has shown
how apt pupil it was. The Repub-
licanS may complain that the AMBER
SON bill puts them at disadvantage in
the contest for political supremacy, but
they will have to admit that it deserves
no criticism as all example of what
gerrymandering can do for party.
DR.. ANDERSON of La Crosse, who de-
vised the scheme, has pointed out its
perfection after its own kind, but ex-
presses his willingness to cooperate
with his critics in readjusting its IN
CAPABILITIES if they will consent to the
appointment of non-partisan board
which will permanently have charge of
this sort of work. Could such a project
be actualized and the state divided
fairly for all time, so that neither party
should be taken advantage of by the
other, the Democracy would have no
reason to be fearful of its standing be-
fore the people. But if a Republican
victory is to be followed by new rear
rangement under which it would be
robbed of all prospects of majority, it
owes it to itself to shun all chances of
such an outcome. The way to put an
end to the evils of gerrymandering is
TO make both parties appreciate by ex-
perience the wrongs which it works.

in the Northwest. There are no politics
in this question and its anSwer.-New

been issued by the Farmers Alliance
officials. 1t is to be hoped that this will
help to break the present grain block
ade aud give railroaderS a chance to

Minneapolis has plenty of bread. but
nothing with which to cook it. The
grain blockade is so complete that coal
cars cannot reach the city. What
fine thing those Kansas City flour mills
would be if they were built!-Kansas

The news of famine in Russia and in
Mexico comes with the news of a corn
blockade Ill the Northwest. The roll
ing stock of our railroads is. not ade-
quate TO the task of moving our bounte-
Gus crops.-New York World.
The present car famine was first no.
ticeable in the futile attempts of West
ern farmers to market their grain as
rapidly as they wished. The appeals
from Dakota farmers were pathetic. In
that state the prosperous reaction after
years of depression was nearly nullifed
by the scarcity of railroad cars for car
rying grain to market. Over hundreds
of miles of territory the losses TO indi-
vidual farmers through this shortage of
cars were numerous and heavy.-Chi-

first essay Saturday. 1t is impossible
for them to ignore the question, and
their voters will take sides, just as the
Democrats have. There are two ele-
ments that are taking ground with
almost apparent unanimity in opposi-
ton to the lottery. These are the ALI
ance and the churches. Some of the
latter. in fact, have gone so far as to make
it test of membership. Every Meth
odist conference has raised loud
voice in denunciation, and the Baptists
will expel any of their members who
propose to vote for the extension of the
charter of the lottery. The Presbyte-
rianS, under the lead of DR.. PALMER, have
appointed day of prayer, to be OBJ
served in all of the churches, for the
destruction of the iniquity. The ne
groes in the churches may be led
that way. The Republicans will not
dare to take sides with the lottery on
account of the outside pressure, but if
they come into the field at all they
must show their hands. 1t is the over
shadowing question, and no party can
dodge it.
