Wade Hampton's Farewell.

That vas noble and impressive
appeal made in the Senate by Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina. He urged
upon the country the fatality ofany such
partisan measure as the force bill, upon
the indisuptable ground that it would
injure the very race it was designed to
protect. That speech was notable one
not only because it was the last one
delivered by Wade Hampton in the
Senate chamber, but because of the record
of the man who uttered the words.
When Gen. Hampton went before the
people of South Carolina for Governor in
1876 he made no sectional appeal. He
asked for sufrages of white and black
alike. One of the features of that cam
paign was the formation of colored Dem.
ocratic clubs for bringing out the black
ballot and enlisting the colored man in
behalf of good hor,o government.
Thousands of negroes in that campaign
voted for Hayes and Hampton. Gen.
Hampton proved himself true to all his
promises and showed himself in the best
sense Governor of the whole people. he
has been one Of the most liberal and con-
servative of Southern statesmen and his
testimony as to the emptiness of any
force bill was one of the most valuable
contributions to the debate.
This vas practically Senator Hamp-
toms farewell to the Senate. 1t is no
less memorable and upon no less vital a
subject than when Senator Mason read
Calhoun's farewell address on slavery in
March, 1850. He declared what every
man in South Carolina knows to be true
and what is to his eternal credit, that be
has never been a candidate for Office
except at the urgent solicitation OF bis
people. Senator Hampton's words were
those of statesman. His familiar figure
will be missed in the Senate. He pos
sessed in an eminent degree those quail
ties which Senator Hoar declared mark

this space runs series OF iron Orders
and maSts which support the upper
roof. In this vast area the swimming
schools could be located. The building
should be divided into two lengths,
which would sgive one for ladies and
children and another for gentlemen. All
that is required is to put i'll a rubble and
concrete flooring and sides to retain the
water. The baths should be ten feet
deep at one end, and by means of shelv-
ing floor gradually narrow to two feet at
the other end. Ample dressing rooms
should be built round the baths for the
use of the bathers. The present steam
heating plant could be utilized for heat
ing the water in the winter, and by this
means summer and winter bath would
should be filled up with every appliance
for gymnastic training. To make these
alterations would cost about $4,000,
and, as the last legislature authorized
the council to eXpend $4,000 for the
erection of swimming baths and schools,
there should be no difficulty in the mat
ter of raising the balance by popular
subscription. There is no doubt but
that the swimming baths and gym
nasium would yield handsome reve-
nue. TO tho city. A scale of fees should
be made TO include yearly tickets of adj
mission, monthly admissions and single
tickets. The cost of maintenance
would be small, compared with the
receipts, and it would be found that in
the end the city could not eXpend money
more wisely.

the present necessary economy in NUM-
cipal expenditure will have passed
away, and it will be possible to still
further
Extend the Plans
as regards the market house site. ST.
Paul needs au auditorium building
which will be capable of accommodate
ing for conventions and public meetings
from 5000 to 10000 persons. 1t has
been suggested that with the growth of
the Twin Cities towards common CEN
ter in the Midway district, that at that
spot an editice might be erected which
would accommodate vast numbers for
conventions or large gatherings. This
idea is good one, but there are many
reasons why 1t would not be practicable
for some years. In the meantime, while
the Midway district is suitable loca-
ton for an auditorium building for the
two cities, there is no reason why ST.
Paul should not erect building upon
the market house site which will meet
the requirements. 1t would certainly
be great source of pride for the city to
possess such a building, which would
compare with the magnificent halls
owned by other large cities.
With this article is presented sketch
of proposed auditorium building upon
the market house site. The present
part of Eighth street, where the market
sheds are located, could be vacated and
the building cover that portion of land.
1t should, in the easements, possess the
swimming and gymnastic schools, and
provision might also be made for the To-
cation of the public library. Small
halls for dances and concerts should be
upon the upper floors, while the main
hall should be so arranged that the an
neXes could be utilized for mass meet
ingS and other large gatherings. The
cost of such building would vary ac-
cording to the style and kind of ma
terial used, the money to be raised by
bonds to be issued 10y the city under
legislative authority.
The possession of such a building
would be matter of vast Importance to
the city, and there can be 10 doubt
whatever upon the question that the
time is rapidly approaching when the
present "white elephant must be put
to some practical use or RACED from the
face of the earth. At the present time
it is perfectly useless, cost to the city,
and in many ways Objectionable in its
use in the midst of a district which is

way, and it had buried itself in the

MIR. Horns "reminiscences

The old city hall, erected in the spring
of 1857.
Prior to the erection of this building
there was an excited contention be-
tween the rival localities OF lower and
upper town, so called, where this pro-
posed city hall should be located, and
finally the aldermen of the upper part
of the city carried the day, selecting the
present site. The leader Of the up town
interest for quite time carried with
him exultingly the architectural design,
which he displayed. | recollect on one
of these occasions, when some of the
representatives of the lower town
interests were present, the state
ment was made by them that
they had not objected to the
present site, as they understood that
the building was really to be a jail. and
was appropriately located near those
who were most likely to be committed
therein, to which the response came of
"s0ur grapes" accompanied by tlOuting
the design in the faces of the other side.
The city council occupied the upper
part of the building; the lower part was
devoted in part for the city lookup, in
charge of the veteran jailer, John
Smith, who has passed away. 1t was
the first city hall that was built. The
first town clock was placed in its GU
pOla, being the work of the veteran
C lock maker of st. Paul, Mr.. Filings
worth, who has also passed away.
About the time the building was first

then mayor; Daniel Roher, now in
Worthington, Mimi, then city treas
urer, and the then city attorney, Ii. j.
Horn. Those who may have the curios-
ity to examine this picture will be struck
with the contrasting juvenility of the
countenances with the gray-headed and
gray-bearded survivors of the present
day.
In 1853 the city made extensive
amendments to its old charter, in which
new dignity was added to the mayor
atty; to him was given the present veto
power. 1t was thought proper, in view
of his exalted position, that he should
deliver an inaugural message III pres
ence of the common council, and the
first message of this kind was delivered
by the late Norman w. Kittson, mayor
i'm 1858, in the presence of the aldermen
and city officials.
Many stories have been told about the
old clock, probably not fully reliable:
That occasionally while the hands on
one face would show 1t to be early in
the morning, on the other face it would
appear to be late in the evening. Upon
such occasions Mr.. Elling5worth was
about soon to remedy the defect.
The building was monument of the
ente rprise of the city of st. Paul during
the money crisis of 1857, and of its great
borrowing power under such adverse
circumstances. III. j. HORN.
