ROME, March 27.-The attack of Signor
Imbriani on the government has created
sensation, and many are inclined to sym
pathize with his argument that the admin
istration of Signor Rudini has not been
sufficiently aggressive in asserting the
rights of the Italians abroad. especially in
respect to the New Orleans massacre.

DAKOTA sCHEMERs.

A Dakota legislature without some
scheme in it would do violence to all
precedents and traditions. The gov
ernor has callod special session in
North Dakota, suggesting two or three
emissions of the former session that he
thinks require attention, but feeling
some dIstrust and hesitancy because he
has no power to limit the action. 1t is
of particular Importance to him that
there shall be no general legislation or
any freakishness. He hopes to be re-
nominated governor and elected. but
tact and cautious work are essen
tial to his success. There are a good
many politicians, and some of the
ShrewdeSt old StagerS, who are not anX
iouS to foster his welfare in an official
way. There are also indications that
they have not forgotten the spirit of
other days. Gov. BURKE, at the last
session, vetoed an elevator bill that was
a favorite with the farmers, and this
veto has put them i'll a dubious attitude
toward the governor. 1t is intimated
that this measure will be revived anu
passed again at the coming session. 1t
would be awkward for the executive to
be confronted with 1t just before the
convention is to be held. Then there is
a rising cloud in the senatorial matter.
The term of Senator CASEY expires next
March. He was elected by the present
legislature, and the novel idea is adj
vanced in significant quarters that he
may be made his own successor for
full term at this special session. This
suspicion has its appearance simulta-
neeusly with the return of State Senator
JUD LA INQUIRE from long absence ON
the Pacific coast. Not much Importance
would attach to it if it were not for the
phenomenal ability credited to a North
Dakota legislature. There is no legal
obstruction, but it will make things in
teresting if attempted. The body has
been classed as composed of 62 Republi-
cans, "a Democrats and Alliance.
There are seven or eight members who
have since changed their residence or
died to cOmplicate the situation.

THE BLAINE BOOM.

The BLAINE boom is growing with
all the energy Of the Mississippi after
month of clouded skies, and it seems
Withstand its resistless current. The
candidacy of Mr.. HARRISON excites no
enthusiasm, and q concerted hurrah
will be enough to overturn all the in
structiOnS which the delegates have re-
ceiYed from the bodies which elected
them and to stampede the convention
for the man from Maine. History is
full Of instances IN which the vice-preS-
idential nomination actually rendered
has been refused, but no American yet
has declined a nomination for the pres
idency which a great party has offered
him. HoRATIo SEYMOUR, who protest
ed in the presence of the Democratic con-
VentlOn of 1865 that he could not take the
honor, and wept as state after state cast
its vote for him, finally yielded. and
headed with bravery the forlornest of
hopes. The reluctant GARFIELD in the
same way bowed to his party'S call, and
there are those who say that even Mr..
TLDEN was disappointed when his let
ter OF withdrawal was acquieSced in and
Gen. HANCOCK named In his stead. 1t
is human to waYer in the presence of
temptation, and the Republican mana
gers, who have had little experience
with godiike things. are not likely to
calculate on Mr.. BLAINE having quail
tiles beyond the limit of mems endur-
ance. Tickets of admission to the Min
neapoliS convention are now quoted at
$50 each, and none are Oh sale to people
who live in St. Paul; but it will be worth
the price and the trouble of attending if
BLAINE's nomination is finally decided
on. There will be a scene the like of
which has seldom been witnessed.

OUR BASE BALL NINE.

The fierce competition for the ST. Paul
base ball nine is about ended. and Den
yer has practically secured the precious
jewel for a consideration in the neigh
borhOod Of $500. The club has played,
thus far in the season, in hard luck and
worse form, and why anybody should
hunger for its possession the sporting
element of this district will not find it
easy to understand. Since it had to go
somewhere, st. Paul is glad that it has
been placed at safe distance, and
wishes the city beyond the mountains
JOY of its prize. We really do not need
a base ball nine this summer to supply
us with amusement For the present
wehave the gambling houses, admission
to which is free; and after bit we are
to have the Republican convention up
the river. When all these are closed we
are going to have Col. WRIGHT for mayor,
and this will give US all the fun we shall
have leisure for. st. Paul is the best
show town in America at the present
writing. We can afford our generous
contribution to Denver'S pleasure.

CANDIDATE GOSSIP.

A vast amount of brain work and ink
is being expended ON the coHundrum
as to what the issue shall be of the Min
neapOlis and Chicago conventions.
Some people who project their personal
feelings only into the arena have no APP
parent doubt. In the first event, HAIR.
RIsON is to be nominated on the first
ballot. Another class of Republicans
know equally we'll that it will not be
the president. GARRISON oracularIy
hints that it will be the man who gets
the most votes, and his home organ re-
fleets his confidence in the assertion
that his name will be BLAINE.
There are lines of similarity run
ming to Chicago. 1t has seemed
TO the average observer, without
special regard to his bias, that the cur
rents have all been drifting toward
CLEVELAND of late. He would regard
it as an easy task to figure out the nomi-
nation of the eX-president on the first or
second ballot. But many of the adopts
and veterans in Democratic counsels
perpleX and cloud the situation with
their doubts as to the facts that are IN
folded or ought 10 be. HENRY WAT

HELP FOR FLOODS.


If any of the weather prophets had
programmes of the atmospheric condi-
tons of late. they failed to secure gen.
eral attention. 1t Is believed one or two
of them did have severe storms indi-
Gated for about the middle of the month,
but if they had thought to indicate pre-
ctSely and definitely their scope and
results, their reputation as seers would
have taken a big jump. Still, it is pos
Sible that some of the causes that pro-
duce the excuses in the manifestations
of nature are becoming understood.
They are as fixed and certain as the
influence of the sun, or other natural
forces. There would be consider
able practical value to even the
general foreknowledge that a sea-
son was to be wet or dry.
Those whose interests are largely at the
mercy of the elements could better
adapt themselves to the coming circum-
stances. But no way can probably be
devised to avert more or less disaster
when the leakage from above goes on
week after week. as it has done of late,
and wafer persists in flowing down hill.
1t is not uncommon TO have spring
freshets in most sections, but they
usually come when the SHOWS of winter
go off rapidly and heavy rains are had.
The present flood in the valley of the
Mississippi and its feeders is due
almost entirely to the continuous and
excessive rains in the country
they drain. There is no very
unusual amount of water coming
down from the sources of the Missis-
sippi and Missouri. The tremendous
rains lower down are doing the mis-
chief. The Mississippi is somewhat
swollen in its upper parts, but is gener-
ally keeping along in its own district,
doing no special damage until the ul-
ruly Missouri pours in its resistless
foods. 1t is a turbulent. erratic and
freakish stream, and when it gets on
tear it has no mercy Oh its victims. 1t
promises now to break all the records,
carrying disaster from Dakota to the
gulf. No doubt it has. in the ages past,
many times perpetrated similar eXtrava-
gances, but civilization had net
come in its way. There were
few to suffer from its antics. 1t is
probable, however, that the increased
tlllage of the country has had some eff
feet in increasing the rainfalls, and con-
sequently the floods are greater than in
the prehistoric times. However that
may be-. there seems no present ayaila-
BILE precaution or remedy. Unless the
bikes and leyees can be made to keep
the river in Its banks, there is likely TO
be disaster when there are such rains
as there have been the past month. The
preservation of forests aud establish
menJ of vast reservoirs at the head
waters are desirable, no doubt, and
may have some effect, but they could
not be materially effective in season
like the present. There will be de-
structive floods at times while the rivers
flow, unless eXpedients not yet devised
can be brought into requiSitiOn.

no man will be taken from New York.
Democrats OF the dominant wing in
New York with apparent gravity as
sert that less than q majority OF
the delegates to Chicago will sup
port CLEVELAND, and that their sena-
tor will actually be the chosen one.
Still others can focus their minds on a
Western man who will take the prize.
They remember, with WATrERsoN,
that the party presidents and traditions
are much in favor of letting the office
do little hunting for the man, and
going outside of those most easily
thought of as presidential possibilities.
Conspicuous illustrations are found in
Polk and PIERCE. 1t may not be en-
tirely clear who will be selected at Chi
cago. but 1t may be taken with asSur-
ance that the man named will be one
who, in the deliberate Judgment of the
great gathering of party representa-
tives, can most surely lead to success in
November.

RIVER COMMERCE..

one OF the great war SHIPS laIelY Quilt
by the government, the Concord, has
steamed up the Mississippi river quite
to the mouth of the Ohio, and it is prob
able will come up at least as far as st.
Louis. In the present stage Of water,
and that likely to continue through
June, it is suggested that it might come
to st. Paul during the session of the
national convention. Should this be
feasible, it would be an attractive in
cident and stimulant to the develop
ment of the great water channel into
the heart of the continent. The Con-
cord is built, of course, for ocean travel.
1t is of 5000 tons capacity, and
easily makes twenty miles an hour
with its 10,000-horSe power en-
gInes. There is no urgent duty
in prospect oh the outside waters for
this great vessel, and there could hardly
be more favorable time for it to go as
far inland as it may prudently. 1t
would be a novelty to a vast number
of people who never have an opportu-
nifty to see one of the immense modern
structures devised for use in warfare,
but it would have also something of an
educative mission. Its appearance
1900 miles from the ocean would be an
impressive picture to the world, and
would suggest to the people of this
country, especially of the West, some
thing of the possibilities of inland nav
igation. Since the railroads have so
nearly mOnopolized attention as the
arteries of internal traffic, there
has been growing neglect of the
water navigation. The interests of the
powerful railroad corporations have
been adverse, and they have nearly per-
| suaded the country that for commercial
purposes the water channels are only
adapted to slow and primitive times.
| The canals have become dilapidated,
and the great rivers are not getting any
| large share of the commerce of the
country. They are the free highways of
the people, and the time will come when
| the people will realize their possibili-
ties in cheapening transportation, and
| demand that the bountieS and subsidies
| of the government shall not all go to the
railroads. The sight OF great ocean
| steamer far up the big river will aid to
turn the thought into the direction OF
enlarged river navigation. The present
| immense waste of water may provoke
inquiry as to the possibility of reser-
voir system adequate to making good
navigable stage all the season, with the
aid of needed improvements of the
channel. 1t is impossible to suppose
that in the development of the vast re-
sources of this country these water
channels that nature has so munificent-
! ~ provided shall not be utilized.

A ST. PAUL IDEA.

There is something in the chamber of
commerce plan for 4 closer union among
the different branches of the city's bust
ness interests. But good as it is, Ii is
not likely to result in much that Is prac-
teal and productive. Voluntary Organl-
cations of this character never do. They
often start ont bravely enough, and con-
tinue to have great value as a medium
for the interchange OF ideas, and for the
expression of opinions on passing issues.
But machinery of another pattern is
needed for the accomplishment of def
mite and measurable works. The GLOBE
has more than once expressed the view
that St. Paul ought to have at its head
real mayor. who will give all his time
and energies to the promotion OF the
general welfare. The scheme as the
GLOBE entertainS it is a novel one,
which has never yet been attempted
But it has dndOubted merits, and our
city is the ideal field for its application.
Regardless of party considerations,
man of exceptional ability should be
selected to take charge of affairs. lie
should receive large salary and be
given unusual powers. The direction
OF the municipality internal govern
ment should be under his control, and
he should bear the responsibility for its
successful management. as does the
mayor under the Brooklyn and Phila-
delphia charters. But his functions
should also extend beyond this. He
should look out for opportunities
to increase the city's wealth and
Importance. He should superlntend
the projects which arise from time
to time for the Introduction of new in
dustries within our borders, and should
encourage concerns already established.
When local Institution found itself in
vOlved it should report its condition to
HIM, and, if an investigation warranted
the course, he should undertake to help
it. If it seemed as if the construction of
a new railroad i'll certain direction
would open up rich territory to our
commerce, he should advertise its posi-
bilities to capitalists and further its
realization. The thousand and one
things which count for the comfort and
prosperity of the community as whole
should be his care. He should stand to
the city as the president of great
trunk line does to his road. He should
be a grand promoter IN the best sense
of the term. The GLOBE suggests these
thoughts in the hope that they will
evoke discussion. Let the plan be tried.
Let st. Paul show the country to what
uses a mayor can be put.

(Ode to Snow Storm-St. Paul. May 10, 1885,
Put away my summer trousers,
And my lightweight, baggy pants;
Fold them neatly in the wardrobe.
Quite secure from moths aud ants.
Take my russell shoes and pox them,
Nail them up secure ana fast,
They may help me out next summer, Il
AS they came in handy last,
And my coat and linen buster,
That were once my joy and pride.
Waltz them down to ''Three-balT' LEWIS,
Put 'em up and let EN- slide.
Roll my vest in strong tar paper;
My June waistcoat soft and light
Chuck it in some dingy chamber,
Far removed and out of sight.
Rave my Ice cream scarlet necktie,
That caught oil the ladies' gaze,
Wrapped in dainty tissue paper;
1t may see some better days.
And my old straw hat so jaunty,
That has dallied with the sun,
File il now with attic archives,
For its useful days are run.
Resurrect my auburn whiskers.
That the wind so often wooed.
Bring them back, oh, barber bring them
For I've ceased to be dude.
Fetch my old December stockings,
Double piled at heel aud toe,
Just to keep my pedals cosy,
From the blasts of summer snow.
Take from out the dingy wood-box,
My galoshuns OF hard gum,
/ will need them in the June times
The millennium has come.
And my ancient coat of minkskin
That so oft has fought the cold,
Take it out of hook instanter.
Where for paltry dross twas sold. g.
Start the stove and CRATES and furnace,
Let the hoppers groan with coal,
Keep your spirits warm and CHEEKY,
Don't forget the flowing bowl.
Seize the man who sings of flowers,
And has summer zephyrs pat,
Take him out upon the high bridge
And then let him go at that
Wrap my weary frame in blankets,
At my hoofs hot water keep, q
Send up red-hot supplications,
While lay me down to sleep.

THE judge of the circuit court at Kan
sas City, few days ago, gave his opin-
ion to the press that the divorce laws in
Missouri are altogether too easy, almost
no discretion being left to the court
Probably he wanted to advertise the
fact that those in need of divorce can
get sufficient one in Missouri with as
little trouble as in Dakota. There is
evidently growing jealousy of the sue
cess in South Dakota in taking in this
profitable business.

SCENES OF THE STREET.

Standing near Michaud's store one rainy
day not long since, saw the daintiest little
blue and white crochet skirt, worn by lady
who was holding up a detestably long dress
out of the mud and mire. The wearer con-
fdent that her exceedingly short skirt could
never be seen, and sublimely unconscious of
the display she was making, would probably
blush to be seen on the street in Jenness-
Miller rainy day dress. Girls, II you will
wear trails hold them up; and If you will
hold them up, for heavens sake and mod
esty S sake, practice before a mirror. The
men would not stand on the corners on a
rainy day watching women cross the streets
if dresses were not raised higher than the
boot tops.
