SOME MEk WE MEET.


Did you ever hare time to sit in the
mayors court and watch Squire An
GER? You didn't, eh? Well, go down
and watch him. The gentleman is too
old to f~atter, so we will say that we be-
lieve if there is an honest man this side
Of the New Jerusalem, MAYOR Angler
is one OF 'em. There rs no guile in his
composition. He is without intrigue and
he is without straight policy. And after
all, policy often necessarily becomes dis
honesty. MAYOR Angler will do what
he believes to be right. He may, like
other human beings, be swayed by his
direct prejudices-but the cunning is not
there. His prejudice becomes a belief,
as firmly fixed as a star in heaven. We
have had reason to differ with him, but
we nave always insisted that he believed
firmly aud honestly all he does. He is a
man Of wonderful vitality a man of
many good parts, and THE GLOBE is al
ways glad that it struggled hard for his
reelection last spring. He has met with

There's a young fellow down at the
%Lynchburg and Durham railroad-E. NJ.
GRAHAM, one of the best young men in
the whole country. He attends strictly
to his business he has more Of the hu-
man nature about him than you generally
find about railroad men he is accommo-
dating and he knows his business. Ora
A lived for a long time in Omaha, and
while there held a very important posi-
ton with the Union Pacific Railroad
company. His wife's health brought
him to the South, and he is bearing the
cross-because he says he likes the ozone
and the freedom and the rush and hustle
of he wild and woody West. 1t is a his |
tOric fact that railroad men-those who
hold the lower places are for the most
part, dictatorial to customers and most
~Obsequious to the general bosses. Ora
HAN is the same always, and as the same
whole-souled and genial gentleman, we
hope to see him climb closer to the dome
Of the railroad business. And we be-
lieVe he will.
9. A. JORDAN, for a long time teller in
the First National bank, is now with MIR.
BEN DUKE, as private secretary. JORDAN
is a man who instinctively speaks his
mind; and what is good about such things,
he has a mind which can speak. If he
sees tinsel he knows that the baser metal
IS beneath it, and he dOes not care. He
IS clean morally, and he is honest and he
IS a gentleman. He was in New York
