AN EXPENSIVE FILTRATION.

The GLOBE is inclined to believe that,
if. all accounts are true, JOHN SMITH,
who was arrested the other night OIL
Ninth street for diSorderiy conduct, has
been punished fully as much as his Of
fense deserves. He. is accused of iiav
ing sought the acquaintance of young
woman to whom he carried no
formal title of introduction, and to
have refused to desiSt from his ef-
forts even when she expressed dis
taste for his society. AT this point two
staIwart young knights came to the
maiden's assistance, and in the alterca-
tion which ensued Mr. SMITH was ma
terially diSfgured. Later in the even
ing he was arrested, and mulcted by
the city authorities to the tune of s25.
The next day he got his name in the
papers, and is now being made the sub
ject of much discussion IN the various
places where men congIegate for the
consumption of cocktails and the venti-
lation of matters of contemporary
human interest.
This habit of speaking in public
places to women whom one does not
know is reprehenSible and undignified
one, but it is not necessarily open to
any more serious condemnation than is
thus implied. A mans intentions are
not as q matter Of course diShonOrabIe
because he does such thing. Very in
nOcent and very gratifying friendships
have often been formed in this way,
and the pages of poetry and romance
are filled with instances in which love,
and. all that love implies, have been
born from an exchange of glances across
public street. Very respectable men
and women who have never seen each
other before frequently enter into coil
VeEsation on railroad trains or ocean
steamers. At summer hotels a man
with no credentials, except his personal
appearance, can usually. after Sojollrn
of day or two, feel quite at home
with his fellow-boarders of the opposite
sex. And it is quite easy to imagine
circumstances under which the lone
some saunterer on the city highway or
the country road could without meaning
to offend, and without offending, Join
some young woman travelling in the
SAINT ull0SliOiis even llaOuRu sue may De
all entire stranger to him.
The GLOBE would not be understood
as recommending the practice. On the
contrary, if it were inclined to,give any
advice, it would urge IFS readers to en-
large their circle of acquaintanees after
the conventional method, and after the
conventional method only. They will
probably find all the opportunities for
entangiements which they are capable
of wrestling with without going outside
of this channel. But if their spirit of
romance is uncomfortable, and they find
it impossible to float by the Lady of
ShallOt'S tower without raising their
eyes to meet hers, the GLOBE wishes
them a happier experience than
befell JOHN SMITH. To be manned in
body, to be subjected to the humiliating
inquiries of the police sergeant, to give
up twenty-five good, dollars and to be
the text for large volume of ribald
pleasantries. is really pretty big price
to pay for Irritation which, after all,
did not turn out to be filtration. This
is one of the cases in which the punish
ment fits the crime as badly as though
1t had been bought at a secondhand
store.

About Politics in the Sew

Fighting Second.

and No Other Man

More Timber Stealing on the
Ipdian Reservation Way
Up North.

A. A. White. of Moorhead, the junior
member OF the 1irIn OF ComStOek d
White. was one of the well-known
Northern Minnesotans at the Mer-
chants yesterday. MIR. While was the
founder of the thriving city of Kalispel,
in the Fathead valley of Western Mon
tana, having visited the town and To-
Gated it long before the Great Northern
had pierced the mountains to the east.
At this time the present F1athead me-
trOpolis was reached by stage ana
steamboat, the town OF Rayalli on the
Northern Pacifi C, being the nearest
point. From there to Flathead lake
was short trip by stage, and then came
a steamboat ride the entire length of
the lake. The valley is one of the most
heathful in the country. and, barring
the associations, the trip was. even
in those days, delightful one.
Col. White, who has been in
the town site business for many
years. having located nearly all
the thriving towns and cities on the
Great Northern, is keen observer and
has many interesting anecdotes at his
command gathered from actual expert
ence.
Like his partner, the late congress
man from the Fifth district. Col. White
is Republican, but he is not much of
politician, preferring business to poll
tics. For a iaynan, however, he takes
considerable interest in what is going
on in bis district.
''WiH Mr.. Cemstoek accept the Re-
publican congressional nomination in
the Seventh district this year?" was
asked Mr.. White yesterday.
Il don't think he has made up his
mind yet" was the answer. The
Alliance is very strong in that district,
and great many men do not like the
idea Of being put up to be knocked
down. Ours is a purely agricultural
district and the only cities of any size
in it are Crookston, Fergus Falls, Moor
head and possibly Morris. OF
course, things may change and
the Alliance movement go down.
There is no question at all about the
movement breaking down, and when it
commences to go it will not take long to
end it. But don't know as this will
come this year, nor whether Mr.. Com
stock will accept nomination for Con-
gresS if offered to him."

PICKS A WINNER.

Editor johnson, Of New C1m,
Names Turrell in the Second.
/ !. F. w. johnson, the alert and yigorou S
editor of the New U I'm Review, dropped
into the city yesterday and spent the
day viewing the politics Of the Second
district from the Merchants lobby. Mr..
johnson is at present siaunch sup
porter of Hon. o. B. THrreil, of Red
wood county, for the Republican con-
greSsi0nal nomination i'll his strict,
aud believes that unless some new Rich
moad enters the field the Redwood Falls
farmer and banker will carry Off
the prize. Editor johnson several
months ago started boom
for Lieut.. Gov. Ives, of Nicollet,
and did it SO enthusiastically that he
had just about nominated the st. Peter
man when the latter announced that he
did not desire the nomination. This
was dampener OH the New Ulm ed
itor, but he quickly rallied, and is now
doing effective work in behalf OF Mr..
Turrell.
The New Ulm Review, Mr.. John
sons paper, is one of the oldest and
most solid of the weekly papers of
Southwestern Minnesota. 1t was
formerly the property of Col. Joseph
Bobleter. the present state treasurer,
under whose management it won high
rank among the papers of that section.
This old reputation is being won back
by Mr.. johnson, VINO does not hesitate
to declare that he has one Of the finest
properties of the kind in the state But
to return to politics in the Second, Ed
itor Johnson said:
prof. McCleary Will have the Blue
Earth delegation the largest in the dis
trict, MesSrs. Turreil Brown, Lyon and
Redwood, and Senator Davis may p os-
sibly get Nicoilet. La the ether counties
| am not acquainted with the situation
in detail, but | will predict that Tur-
rel will secure the nomination.

TWO METHODS.

How to deal with vice is a hard ana
ever-persistent problem not alone i'll St.
Paul, but also in all the big cities of the
world. In New York public opinion

cause clear of iniquity. have established
themselves everywhere within its Inn
its. In the East they are working as
earnestly to find some solution and
remedy as even our local reformers can
be expected to. But it would seem as
though their methods were somewhat
different. There is no agitation for the
removal of Supt. BYRNEs from the
control OF the New York police force,
but his experience and wisdom
are much relied on TO suggest the
proper course of procedure at this hour.
In Brooklyn, Supt. CAMPBELL has
just completed his twentieth year
of consecutive service, and he is as sure
of his position, in spite of changes of
party administration, as justice OF the
United States supreme court is of his
place on the bench. These men have
come to be experts in their department.

them for political considerations. With

won at the polls solely in the
interest of good government. And yet
it is generally assumed that the new
mayor, as soon as he is installed in of

to take Chief CI.ARK's place at the po-
lice headquarters. The Eastern idea is
that politics should have nothing to do
with matters of this sort. The st. Paul
idea seems to be. even in this field, the
reformers who have won the victory are
entitled to its spoils. This illustrates

A TYPICAL STATE

Nebraska has just been celebrating its
twenty-fifth anniversary as a state. A
quarter of a century is a mere point of
time in the duration of that political
community III all probability. After a
while it will have a centennial, and then
a multiplication of centuries beyond all
present computation and prophesy. Its
growth and development are quite like
those of Minnesota, the Dakotas and
other Northwestern states of greater or
less age. 1t is fairly illustrative of the
progress of this region generally. As
such its anniversary has a common in
terest. The struggle over slavery in the
concrete and as a local institution
that drew people to Kansas, Just
south, did not extend to Ne
braska. In 1860 it had but 2S,S41
white people, and when admitted as a
state in 1867 the population did not prob
ably reach $4,000. The census of 1870
gave but 122. 1893, but its growth in the
fourth of century has been hardly sur
passed in continuance and volume even
in the Northwest. In the early days of
its statehood it was regarded as wild iso-
Iation in dubious region almost wholly
given over to the buffalo and ante
lope. and largely decorated with the
cactus and sagebrush. 1t was as far out
of the range of civilization as Mime

MORE TIMBER STEALING.
Another Indian Reservation Plum
deped on q Large Scale.

The GLOBE has SO frequently called
the attention of the people of this state,
and the government officials as we'll, to
the illegal timber cutting carried on
every winter Oh the Indian reservations
up north, without avail. that it seems
hardly worth while to print any more
information ON the subject. After each
exposure the government inspectors
brace up and pretend to work. Some
times, as in the case of the Fond dn Lac
reservation, the timber is seized and ad-
yertised for safe, but an order always
comes previous to the day fixed for the
sale, suSpending proceedings, and the
big lumbermen always get away with
the timber. The magnificent Fon du
Lac reservation has been illegally de-
nuded with the tacit consent of the GOV
ernment officials.
And yet some papers and many poll
tcians have the supreme nerve to ridi-
cuie Congressman HalvOrSon'S attempt
to have this timber stealing probed to
the bottom!
From Capt. I. w. Tidd. government
timber inspector, who has evidently
being doing his duty, comes story to
the effect that the Winnibegoosis res
eryation has been plundered dur
ing the past winter of about
2O,0O0,000 feet of white pine. 1t has
been the custom of the interior depart
ment to grant Indians on reservations
the privilege of cutting all dead and
down timber ON their preserves and dis
posing of It, From the start this has
led to fraud and stealing. In order to
get timber to cut trees are often girdled
and killed and forest fires started for
the same object. But Capt. Tidd is

LEVEES A EAHURE.

Reservoirs and the preservation or
growth of forests are conceded to be
efficient agencies in checking destruc-
tive floods in the upper waters of the
Mississippi, but no great effect can be
had from them in obviating the over
flows of the lower river that so fire.
Quently cause great disaster and suffer-
ing. These are evidently Increasing in
extent and destruetiyenesS. Enormous
sums have been expended in building
leYeeS. and the increasing experience
sttests their ineffectiveness. The belief
is gaining ground that it is useless
waste of the public money to pile
up embankments to be washed
out into the gulp. The stronger
and higher these walls 10 enclose the
teeming waters are made the higher
aud more vehement are the assaults
upon them, and the breaks are inevita-
bic. If it has been supposed that by
combining the waters to the channel
they would wash out the bottom and
not fill up with the mud held in SOlu-
ton, the result shows it to be mistake.
AAAS 1AiooOhAi ID oA0dSS tsIuuug3 dItu Q6-
positS are being constantly made in the
bed Of the lower river where the leyees
have been the protection. Then the
leyeeS must be raised and enlarged, and
when they break the overflow is
greater. The system is evidently a
mistake. 1t has increased rather
than diminished the deyastations
of the waters. Before the govern
ment engineers attempted to confine
the river to one channel there was COM
paratively little damage caused by the
floods. As one channel was filed up
with mud the water sought another. 1t
had its own way, and there was little
occasion to attempt to interfere with it..
To try to control and restrain such a
mighty stream with mud walls is like
crowding quart into a pint cup. Bet
ter abandon the system, and aid the
river to find outlets that will take away
the dangerous surplus. This is the
only effective relief, and it will save the
constant drain upon the treasury.

SOUTH DAKOTA DEMOCRACY.

There is much to be said in indOrSe-
ment of the course which the Democrats
of South Dakota followed in their con-
vention Of Wednesday last. They eX-
pressed their strong devotion TO the
cause of GROVER CLEVELAND, but they
left their delegates uninStructed aud
free to votes when they met in
Chicago as their best Judgment should
suggest. South Dakota is Repub-
Iican state. There is only the remOteSt
possibility that its electoral votes will
be given to the Democracy's ticket.
The opinion and preferences of its
Democrats, unless they coincide with
those OF great majority from the rest
of the Union. will cut but the slightest
figure in the coming contest. 1t Is
proper that they should be represented
at the national convention. put their
delegation should be in position
to listen as we'll. as to talk. Our eoun-
try is big one, aud there may be over
whelming waves Of thought aloat, even
the murmurS of which have never
reached the prairieS. A sad plight the
brave gentlemen from South Dakota
might have been in had their eonStitu-
entS commanded them to stand firm
for any one candidate, nomatter how
hopeless his ambition might turn out to
be. They might have been rudely tram
pied under foot when the stampede
began. There are none too many DEM
ocratS in South Dakota, and the party
cannot afford to sacrifice the lives of
any of them even for the sake of deep
settled conviction. ValOr is a good
thing. but discretion is better one. The
GLOBE is glad that the Sonth Dakota
Democracy has discretion.

cribs stretching across the state, and
grain fields like the billOwy waters OF

out of the sight of the settler. There are

had their tepeeS, and the $4,000 had be-

now. This is marvellous growth, but
pretty we'll matched by this state, and
in ratios is surpassed by the Dakotas.
1t is of particular interest as the type of
Northwest development. The future
will not rival t..e past in ratios. but the
volume of increment counted up each
decade is not likely to know much re-
ceSSion for an indefinite era in the fut-
ure. Let the figures be allowed to roll
on like the snowfall for few centuries
and their story will be beyond present
comprehension. The hundreds of to-day
will become millions.

The Valley Herald has ii from al intimate
friend OF Maj Strait that the major Will not
accept the Republican nomination for con.
gfess this term.
AS the Hokah Chief sees it,, "Joel Heat

forth more evidence OF solid censtrue ton.
His opponents should make haste to get on
the band wagon"
The Taylor's Falls journal asks: "Will c.
*. Davis present the name of W X. Merri-
am TO the Minneapolis convention for the
vice presidency? 1t looks as though that
was part of the scheme"
o Joel has q real boom. as seen by the Blue
Earth City Post: 'IIis boom, which at first
was no larger than mans hand, is now
spreading over n considerable portion of the
political armament aud is steadily grow
ing"
The Duluth News falls in line and says:
'fGoy. MerriGm might make d most excel
lent candidate. He is good political WORK
er. and lives in state that deserves recogni-
lion. if the candidate should come from the
West"
Ia reference to the appointment of Warden
Garvin as chief or police of ST. Paul. the
saltwater Gazette says the warden alleges
that he never has been rendered the appoint
ment nor would he accept the same under
any circumstances.
The Dundas Advocate of last week states
that Rice county has some fine Democratic
timber for the gubernatorial chair. in the
person of Hon. George N. Baxter, of Fari-
baut. The Suggestion would have done
credit to much larger sheet than the Adyo-
cate. says The Faribault Republican.
The Winona Herald has no philanthropie
streak and is easily shocked: ''rhe ST. Paul
GLoBE declares, in all seriousness, for Cover
nor Merriam as a candidate fer the Republic
an vice presidency. The Herald is shocked
at the attitude of even a Democratic news
paper to seriously advocate such man for
this exalted position
+ The Anoka Union is not for Knute when it
says: "A prominent gentleman of Mime
apolis, and one holding high Office, said to
the writer last Thursday: I'm as good a
Republican as there is in Minnesota, but
don't have to vote for Knute Nelson, nor

the same opinion"
The Belle Plaine Herald supposes that the
Democratic party in this state lis very de-
siFous OF forming union with the Alliance,
but is afraid 10 move in the matter and make
a proposal lest it should be humiliated by
stern rejection. Well. faint heart never won
fair lady" The ST. Peter Tribune, however,
sees danger TO the Republican party
in it, ana warns the parties to it;

Three Personal Injury Cases in
the Federal Courts.

Three personal injury actions for large
amounts were begun yesterday i'll the
United States circuit court. The reason
assigned for resorting to the federal
court instead of the state court is that
the plaintiffs are not citizens Of the
United States. but only deniZenS- The
plaintiff in each case states that he was
green and not accustomed to working at
a place involving discretion on his part.
and each complains that his boss ought
not to have had him work at a danger
Gus place. They each plead their lack
of experience i'll the work given them.
Jacob Anderson was working in a
stoneyard for Lauer Brothers and Jo-
Seph FL. BousqHet. He was assisting to
hold boom rope and did not let go and
get out OF the way when BousQnet did
and was Jerked by the rope and injured
SO as to produce rupture. He wants
$4,000 damages.
Borje MattSon asks $4,000 from
Isaac Staples. He tended a corn shelter
in the basement of mill at Maple
Island and let his hand be caught when
reaching for the stopper to the chute
from which he was carrying cobs. His
arm was crushed and amputation was
necessary.
Gust Larson seeks judgment for
$1,000 against the Rutledge Lumber and
Manufacturing company. He was
working as swamper in the woods last
fall. They were drilling holes in a
rock for the purpose of blasting. A
blast of powder did not explode as in
tended. He was told to pour water in
the hole to saturate the powder so that
it would not explode. He then went to
work at pounding drill with sledge.
A spark from the drill ignited the powder
and Larson was injured by the ex-
plosion that followed. He says that his
eyes only have one-half the power they
formerly had. He complains that the
water poured in the hole froze and he
did not know enough to refuse to work
at the hole until he was assured that he
had poured enough water therein to
drown the powder.

ASCENSION THURSDAY.

Yesterday the Catholic church cele-
brated the festival of the ascension, or
what is generally called Ascension
Thursday. The feast is commemora-
tive of the ascent of our Lord into
heaven. and is observed by the faithful
as a holiday of obligation. At O'Clock
a pontifical high mass was celebrated at
the cathedral, during which a large
number Of boys and girls, about a hun
dred in number, made their first COM
munion. 1t was a most beautiful as
well as most edifying spectacle, and
the church was crowded during the
services, which were unusually solemn
and impressive.
The three days preceding Ascension
Thursday, called rogation days, were
observed as days of prayer.
