ST. PAUL IN LINE.

st. Paul wants that Democratic con-
ventiOn from the depth of his heart. and
we hope he'll not get left.-HOkah
Chief.
1t st. Paul fails to catch the national
Democratic convention. it will not be
due to any lack of zeal or funds on the
part of its citizens. They are making
preparations for accommodating the
convention just as if there was no such
word as fail.-PreSto Change.
st. Paul is alive with generous rivalry,
and reaches after greater honor than
hath come to her sister. She guaran-
tees fund of $4,000 for convention
purposes and has already scheme for
completed building, to tempt the Dem
ocracy to come that way for the great
meeting.-Toledo CO., Bee.
The city of st. Paul is building
grand auditorium for the Democratic
national convention, whether 1t gets it
or not. 1t will be nice thing for the
city for general purposes, and ought to
have been built long ago without the
stimulous of the prospects of national
political convention to stir the SANITY
city folks up to business.-Lidgew wood
BrOadaXe.
The citizens of st. Paul are one solid
phalanX of determined fighters for the
Democratic national convention. Such
unity among the people of ST. Paul for
a movement for the city's welfare bears
testimony to the outside world that the
Saints are leading in the march of prog
resS in the ninteenth century.-Fari-
bault Pilot
The effort to secure the Democratic
national convention for st. Paul is not
confined to local limits. 1t extends
already far beyond the borders of the
state. The only difficulty in the way
now is to convince the committee that
Western city should be chosen and
when that is accomplished there will no
longer remain doubt as to the final
misunderstanding Argus.
i st. Paul is pushing the movement for
securing the holding of the Democratic
national convention in that city. 1t can
be truthfulIy said that the feeling
among the leading members of the
party in Washington tends strongly
towards st. Paul, and If that city will
vigorously follow up the LEAD" which
ithas already struck, the prize will as
suredly be won. Minnesota, without
regard to party affiliations, heartily sec
onds the prOposal.-WinOnaR Republican.

DIR. SPENCER.

EDWARD G. SPENCER, physician of
this city, will be buried from the House
of Hope church this afternoon at half
past 2 o'clock. 1t is not customary for
newspapers to mention in their editorial
columns events like this, except where
the deceased has attained widespread
reputation for distinguished achieve
mentS in his walk of life. DR.. SPENCER
was only thirty-three years of age at
the time of his death, and most of those
had been spent in study. His fame.
therefore, is bounded by much narrower
limits than his merit, and he did not
even win for himself the few short lines
among the biographies of the great
which are the measure of the worlds
remembrance. But as st. Paul news
paper, ever ready to recognize and
commend those among us who with
truth and seriousness are manfully
doing their duty before God and
their fellows, the GLOBE owes it to its
readers to pay to him some tribute of
affection and memory. His father and
mother have lived long in this commu-
nifty, and are honored and loved by hun
dredS who know them and by thousands
of others who have never seen their
faces. DR.. SPENCER grew up as a boy
here, and when the place was smaller he
was the familiar acquaintance of all his
contemporaries. He was one of the first
of the young men of st. Paul to attend a
large Eastern college, and in the tradi-
lions of Yale university he marks the be-
min Of n L
from this region who have ranked high
in their classes and enjoyed the affec-
ton and esteem of their fellow students.
When his professional education was
completed, he returned to the home of
his boyhoOd, quickly developed rare
skill as physician, and has had large
and responsible practice. His services
have been at the command of the Door
ceaselessly during the past six or seven
years. and it would be a great task to
count the humble homes which have
been cheered and helped by his pres
ence. The rich also have sought for
him, and before the enemy who is
thwarted neither by love nor power men
and women of wealth have relied on his
learning and ability to sustain their
strength, to restore them to health, or
to comfort their journey into the dark
valley. Personally, he was honorable,
gentle, dignified, self-contained and
earnest. And yet beneath all this he
had the rarest gift of fantastic humor.
His imagination was as subtle and act
i've as any which has gained high
niche in the temple of modern wit. The
most startling conceits were born of
his clever brain, and he delighted his
friends, among whom were many young
children, with the happiest of kindly
sallies. sometimes in spoken words,
sometimes with pencil, and sometimes
with his pen. But his best energies
were given to his work, and, when it
was ended with the coming of night,
he often had little vigor left for other
pursuits. But he was soldier-learn-
ing in times of peace the rudiments of
an art which he might some time need;

THE PRESENT OUTLOOK.

Without any purpose to discriminate
among the various very excellent and
capable Democratic leaders who are
named in connection with the nomina-
ton for president, it is we'll to observe
the drift of the popular thought. In
recent issue the Brooklyn Eagle gives
several pages of interviews with rep
resentative Democrats of its city as to
their view of the situation. OF the num-
Der reported nearly one-half are for Mr..
CLEVELAND, and are very earnest and
emphatic in their advocacy of his nomi-
nation. About two-fifths of the ag-
gregate are non-cOmmittal, and the
small minority favor Gov. HILL or
a Western man. The supporters of
the late governor do not lack in vigor
of expression. Those who favor taking
candidate from the West have no spe-
cial choice of man, but assume that
the division among the New York
Democrats renders it ineXpedient to
follow the precedentS of so many cam
paigns and give New York the man, as
the great pivotal state. They naturally,
in leaving their own state, look to the
West. 1t is probable that most of those
who prefer not to anticipate the action
of the convention doubt the expediency
of taking New York man. The In
dianapoliS Sentinel. in view of this
Brooklyn expression. says that if the
New York delegation vetoes CLEvE-
LAND 1t will not be allowed to dictate
the nominee. This feeling is widely
prevalent. 1t should not be assumed,
however, that the New York Democrats
will be found radically divided in their
choice. The outside sentiment, if at
all vigorous and united, may be potent
TO induce acquiescence among the ele-
ments in that state. There are indica-
tons that the supporters of Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND are likely to show their purpose
at all early period more distinctly than
for some time past. A spontaneous
demonstration in New England is prob
able, where there is substantial unan-
unity in that party, and Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND is personally popular in both par
ties. The present aspect of the situa-
ton is that the only man possible in the
East is the ex-presldent, and if his NOM
ination is made ineXpedent by New
York the candidate will be looked for
in the West

GHOST CLUBS.

Comparatively few people like to adj
nit that they really believe in the visi-
bilify of persons who have departed
scout at the idea of ghosts. They are
fancies evolved to work upon the nerves
of children and the timid of either sex.
let the man or woman who has no trace
of superstition on this subject is very
rare when the interior investigation is
exhaustive. One of the most practical,
hard-headed men in st. Paul has had
no words too emphatic to use in de-
nouncing the silly persons who suppose
ghoStly apparitions are possible. A
few weeks ago it came to him that at
midnight often a ghost in the form of a
man appeared in certain small church
in town and spent an hour or so playing
the organ. The vistant from the re-
giOns of the departed had been seen by
five reliable men. OF course, this ex-
cited only ridicule from the skeptic, yet
this IOud-mOuthed cOntemner of such
things has for many nights slipped away
from his home at the midnight hour
and crept up to the door of that church,
peering in for glimpse of the ghost
and listening for the sounds from the
organ. He has not reported whether he
has seen or heard anything of the spoOk
kind, but his actions show that he has
protested his incredulity too strongly.
One. of the growing characteristics
of the age is the increase of clubs
and societies for psychical research, the
,f
pearanceS not traceable to any compre-
hended forces or agencies. Some men
ton has been had of the formation of
ghost club in Indiana. Ghosts do not
constitute the membership, but the first
condition for membership is that the
party must have seen a ghost. 1t must
not be diseased fancy, but clean-cut
apparition. The board of inquiry must
be satisfied that the man has actually
seen a spook or has been so impressed
as to believe that he has, and is able
to give an Intelligent description
of what he has seen. This club
is operated by men of position
and Intelligent, who are regarded as
honest i'll their professions and DESTROYS
to throw light upon dark subject, or
at least one chat is supposed to have its
haunts in the dark. Yet III four wears
the club has been unable to put its
membership above twenty. The loca-
ton or conditions are probably not
favorable for ghostly manifestations.
These exotic visitors are understood to
affect old and decayed things. like some
classes of disease germs or Yerinin.
Possibly there may be political rotten
ness scattered about the state, but the
traditions do not make it favorite for
ghosts. Clubs could be formed almost
anywhere of those who never free
themselves from the early persuasion
that there are Yeritable ghosts

JUSTICE FOR BOYD.
Nebraska's Governor Will Win
His Contest.

0OVSfnOr VIII " IN
His Contest.
CHICAGO, Jan. "A special dispatch
from Washington says: 1t is learned
from perfectly reliable source that the
United States supreme court VIII de-
liver its opinion i'll the gubernatoral
contest case of Boyd versus Thayer,
from Nebraska, next Monday, and that
the case will be decided in Boyd's favor.
Three judges dissent, bat the majority
stands by the Democratic candidate.
The points in controversy were that
after Gov Boyd had been duly elected,
the case was made up and presented to
the supreme court of Nebraska, in
which it was charged that he was not a
citizen of the Unitsd States. May 5 a
Judgment of custer was issued against
Boyd, when Gov. Thayer filed the nee
essary bond, took the oath of Office, and
held over as governor. AS soon as the
necessary papers could be prepared,
Gov. Boyd took his case before the
highest tribunal in the land.
EX-Gov. Boyd received a telegram
from Washington this morning confirm
ing the statement that the supreme
court would decide the governorship
question in his favor. The governor
said the dispatch stated that the infor-
nation was not to be published until
time be would indicate. Gov. BOYD
further stated that he did not place i'm
plicit confidence in the report, but was
inclined to wait until Monday, when the
decision would be rendered. He was
inclined to think, however, that his
chances were good.

THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE.

The wealthy and upper classes in the
social scale in Russia are reported to be
heartlessly Indifferent to the sufferings
of the starving peasantry. If they can
impose upon them adulterated and
vicious articles of food to their own
gain, no regard for the woes of the vic
tins would awaken remorSe. Some ex-
PLANTATION of the condition will be found
in the history of the country. The gulf
between the classes is far wider in
Russia than other European countries.
Up 10 about thirty years ago fourth
or more of the people were Serfs
or slaves, and their degradation
brought the working classes down to
them. While nOminally free, they have
not risen above their condition in Servi-
tude. Stolid, stupid and ignorant, they
have not developed any Of the qualities
of freemen. They are not sensible of
their debasement, and only become a
disturbing element when they are with
out their coarse and meager means of
subsistence. They are fit material to
make a despotic government secure or
possible. There is no effort to elevate
tHOH VI lHlpIONt lnelr cOnQlUl0n put
forth by the government or the wealthy
classes. They are not treated as we'll as
brute animals are in countries that have
laws to prevent cruelty TO animals. The
conditions of their life arouse no aspira-
tons for better civilization, and no
pulse beats in their breasts for the lib
erty of freemen. The wealthy classes
as rule only care to get what they can
and keep it. They afford no aid or SYM
pathy to any spasmodic efforts of the
higher authorities to protect the masses
from the piundering hands of the heart
less and corrupt in office, or in the COM
mercial lines. The Grand Duke SER
Gus, brother of the car, is making
great efforts to stop the plundering by
officials; but the wealthy merchants
stand aloof or antagonize his efforts.
Still, it is believed that the government
and the few active humane people will
be able to secure the proper distribution
of supplies sent to that country.
