HE'S A PHILOSOPHER.

The GLOBE does not usually explain
its ephemeral flashes of high spirits in
this style, and positively declines either
now or ever to apologize for them. If
they are good they defend themselves,
and if they are bad they carry with
them their own appropriate punishment.
But this particular paragraph has, under
the careful manipulation of the GLOBES
diseased morning contemporary, been
made the text for so many public alb
Surdities that its revival is demanded as
basis for some contributions to list
OF the possibilities of human asininity.
The climax in this direction was
reached night before last. when the pre-
siding officer of one of our local Grand
Army posts undertook reply to what
he characterized as the GLOBES assault
OH his holy order. He said that he had
read the offensive article while absent
from the city, and that the hot tears of
Indignation and outraged sensibilites
haG gushed spontaneously in response,
flooding his beard and shirt linen.
Since his return to st Paul. he stated,
he had found out the name of its author
by patient investigation, and he de-
clared from his knowledge of the pen
sion Offices statistics that the GLOBES
facts were totally and absolutely untrue.
If there is anything more pathetically
absurd than this in the lines of con-
temporary opera bouffe. it has yet to be
recited in the presence of st. Paul
audience. Jokes are frequently depress-
iT1tr br,t is, fta
instance off the stage where one of them
has made a strong man weep. The
GLOBE is exceedingly proud of the dis
tinction thus conferred upon its efforts
in the line of light literature. and is
glad that it has been singled out for
this honor. By way of reciprocity, it
hastens to put on the brow of its valiant
critic as many garlands as its stock of
rare eXotics makes possible. 1t is
sorry that he should have lapsed
from strict adherence to the truth
when he said that he knew the name
of the offensive paragraphs author. He
does not know this, and could not guess
it in a thousand aud one entertaining
nights. But he is quite accurate in his
claim that the GLOBE was in error
when it eulOgiZed the life-preserving
qualities of a pension. Seriously, pen
sion can no more ward off the approach
of death than an insurance policy. The
gentleman is entirely right. He is
philosopher, ana has made great dis
covery. When some kind-hearted phil
antnropist endowS an institution where
the thIck-skulled can have their heads
rubbed free of charge, the GLOBE will
see tn at he gets the first chance at its
benefits as reward for his brIlllancy.

WHITELAW REID

1t is an exhibition of this sort which
scrapes the veneering off of all these
partisan references to the civil war and
discloses their arrant hypocrisy. The
same men who use the strongest eye
glasses to spell out something inimical
to the cause of the Union in a Demo-
cratic newspapers columns sing dog
gerels at their stated meetings in praise
of General" ALGER, who was caShiered
from the federal army for disobedience
of orders, and pledge themselves by
secret oaths to vote for WHITELAw
REID, who was pestilential foe of all
the heroes worshiped by our united
country today. The GLOBE has already
on several occasions referred to REDS
war record, and this morning it publishes
some Illustrative extracts from the Re-
publican vice-presidential candidates
writings. During the darkest hours of
those unhappy years, ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN and the Union generals had no
heavier burden to bear than the cruel
assaults of the critics of their own
households. The soul of the martyr
president was daily lacerated almost
beyond the point of human endurance
by the carping, snarling bitterness of a
low race Of penny-a-liners, who put a
false construction on his every act, and
held him up in the contemporary press
to popular obloQuy and condemnation.
Foremost in this treacherous crew was
WHITELAw REID, who blackguarded
not only LINCOLN. but GRANT and
SHERMAN and STANTON and HALLECK
and BUELL. as we'll. From 1860 to 1876
he was the uncompromising enemy
of every man who had made him
self conspicuous by patriotic toll. He
was leading spirit in the cabal which
sought the political assassination of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN in 1864. and in 1872
he bolted the nomination of ULYSSES
S. GRANT because he questioned the
right of the soldier to enjoy the highest
honors at the country's hands. And
yet such a man with such history.

is fawned upon as though he had lost
an arm on the field of battle. If our
local Grand Army posts want to pass
resolutions, they can find material for
one every hour in the printed works of
WHITELAW REID. and not have to ex-
pose themselves to ridicule, either, as
they do when they tackle the GLOBE.

A THRILLING YARN.

There is great suggestion for the
melodramatist in an incident reported
from Niagara Falls. On slender scat
fold, suspended from the cantileyer
bridge, 200 feet above the roaring waters
of Niagara, two painters engaged ia
desperate combat. Locked in a deadly
embrace. they struggled and staggered
and swayed from side to side of their
narrow foothold. Mad with passion.
they essayed each to hurl the other into
the Seething waters below. Finally.
one of them freed one of his hands and
snatched up a Ratchet. Three cruel
blows on the head and neck, and his
victim topped over off the scaffold.
The hungry waters, however, did not
receive their expected prey. The man
was miraculously caught in some guy
ropes, out Of reach of his antagonist.
and eventually reached the bridge ton
alive, although desperately wounded.
His assailant had already climbed up
ana escaped.
Put this incident into melodrama.

ONE DAYS PUGILISTIC RE-
TURNS

What great thing for the country
pugiliSm is, to be sure. Three or four
big fights a year. at which nobody is
hurt. and all the rest OF the time for
such bluffing and Ginning and blovi-
atlng as effectively protect the dear
public from the onslaughts of ennui.
Take any days pugilistic news-that
given in Tuesday mornings papers,
for instance. 1t is like a tonic; it breaks
up the stagnaton of the FULLEST political
campaign on record. and fairly makes
our nerves Jingle with pleasurable ex-
element In the first place, there is
that thrilling interview with Mr.. SULLI-
VAN, IN which he throws out deft IN
situations of foul play in connection
with his recent misadventure at New
Orleans. ''Do you mean that you were
nrugged?' asked the Interviewer; and
the eX-great man looks down the
wings, right and left, in true melo-
dramatic fashion. before he re-
spends in husky accents: "There
was something wrong. L am not
making any direct charges just now,
but that L was not right 1 well know.
After the first round could see half a
dozen CoRBETTS." S'death! but what
a dark conspiracy is here unfolded.
With six Richmonds in the field against
him, of course JOHN L. had no show.
We should say there was something
wrong" Mr.. CoRBETT hit entirely too
hard.
And here also is thrilling rumor that
Mi. SULLIVAN doesn't know when he
has had enough-that he contemplates
trying his luck with Mr.. CoRBETT
again. To this rumor. however. Mr..
SULLIVAN enters mild disclaimer. He
isn't hunting fight with Mr.. CoRBETT
Just at present, he says, but Il may do
so at some later day. am one of those
EDWIN BOOTH fellows, or rather, an
actor, now. Pm going to stick to acting
as long as L can, and after am through
with the stage there is no telling exactly
who | will fight" Mr. SULLIVAN's
grammar is trile faulty, though we
wouldn't care to tell him so to his face.
But see what graceful distinction he
makes between all "EDwIN BOOTH fell
low" and an actor" He himself is an
"actor," and those EDWIN BOOTH fel-
lows" will have to find some new name
for their branch of the trade.
MIR. CoRBETT is also an ''actor." His
opening in Gentleman jim" furnished
another thrilling pugilistic item yester-
day. The house was packed to the
DOORS" and during the evening the
star was presented with number of
large floral offerings, and after the per-
Torrance he held an impromptu recep-
tion." Bouquets and handshakes
Picture this gentle bruiser smothered
In roses and beSieged by the admiring
populace! Zoundsl What an inspiring
scene. How its recital skaters the
monotony of these elsewise prosaic
times. Vive pugilism!

FUN THIS EVENING.
Candidates for Places on the Re-
publican Ticket Are Legion.

The Republican primaries this even
ing promise to be more exciting than
usual. There will be but one or two
wards in the entire city that will not
have two or more tickets in the field.
In the First, Second and Seventh wards
the hardest fighting will be over the
legislative delegates, while in the Third,
Fourth. Sixth and Ninth the county
ticket will receive the most attention.
In the Seventh ward the contest be-
tween e. w. Hackett and Hiler Ii.
Horton has become very warm indeed,
and yesterday the Hackett men
pulled down the ticket put up under
the auspices of the McGill club and
have reconstructed it. The fight up
there seems to be between the young
men and the old-timers, and the former
have the best of 1t up to the present.
In the Third ward &. NJ. Orr expects
to defeat the veteran DIR. Murphy. aud
i'll the Second w. l.. Ames is set down
as sure winner over A. j. Hoban,
Frank Dayton, and half-doZen others.
/ In the First ward Scott Mcdonald will
give Charles Wallblom stiff battle. but
the contest is against great odds, and
McDOnald's winning is exceedingly
problematical.
LII the Fourth ward there will be a
pretty contest between Capt. Ed Bean
and his erstwhile lieutenant, Henry
Johns. The latter has tried to persuade
the public TO believe that he will have
no opposition, but this is not the case.
He is opposed by the managers of SEN
atOr Davis, who do not trust Johns.
They believe that at heart Johns is not
Davis man, and for this reason ''COr-
die'' Severance has been working On
Bean, endeavOring to induce him to
enter the race. If Bean does this he is
to be made United States marshal, to
succeed Mr.. Donahouer.
The Fifth ward will have no less than
four legislative tickets in the field for
the following candidates: Barney Zim-
norman. Mike Ward, Fred Richter and
Walter Book. The chances favor Mr..
Zimmerman. In the Eighth ward A. T.
Gauger has been as good as selected for
the sacrifice. In the Tenth, Eleventh
and country district no victim has yet
been agreed upon, although w. w.
| Clark Is talked of.
The contest for places on the county
| ticket will be warm. There are no end
| of candidates for every place in sight,
| and great deal of bad timber has been
entered. G. p. Ritz or Charley Keller
will get the nomination for auditor,
Walt Jensen will be named for treas
urer; George n. Warner, the admins
tration candidate for sheriff, f. w. Zoll.
man for county attorney and s. E. Ohm
stead for judge of probate. Doty and
treaney are to be toned down because
they are supposed to entertain doubts
as to the quality of the reform the city
is getting at present
