Have You q Cancer?

If YOU have, we invite your attention
to the work of Mrs. Mary E. Straw, of
Medicine Lodge, Kansas. She COM
pounds her own medicine, and can
guarantee cure if cure is possible. She
can produce abundant proofs of her
work upon application. Among others
she would mention a recent case of Mrs.
Christian Donaldson, of this city, who
had started on her finger one of the
worst kind OF rose cancers. The can
Ger was removed, but completely un-
covered the joint requiring amputation.
She also makes medicines for all
kinds of telons and chronic sores.

IMMIGRATION.

Congress should make the present

THE SEVENTH WARD.

There is one district III st. Paul, how
ever, where the Republican nomination
has not yet been determined on, and
where there is the most gratifying pros
pect of bloody battle between two
doughty warriors. This is the district
which includes the Seventh ward. a re-
gion perchad on the summit of st. An
thony hill. and much affected as place
OF residence by the socially ambitious,
by the old and newly rich, by the Phar-
iSees with ''holier-than-thou" cast of
countenance, by the men and women
who have weak eyes. read books becom-

views about theosophy, and by liberal

To represent this curious constitu-
ency aspire Capt. G. W. HACKETT and
Capt. HILER III. HORTON. both military
gentlemen, and both with many con-
Spicuous merits to entitle them to pub
lie confidence. Capt. HACKETT is the
head of one of our most important
wholesale houses. and, in addition,
blushingly carries the honor connoted
by the presidency of the chamber of
commerce. His candidacy was first
preached in the secret councils of the
McGill club. The McGill club is a
ponderous political organization man
aged by MARK d. FLOWER and Hon.
JAMES SCHOoNNIAKER. 1t has changed
its name since Mr.. MCGILL made a
speech, the other night, IN which he re-
ferred to Minneapolis as ''our city,"
but under any name the club is sweet
and active center of agitation. The

VOX POPULI,

Capt. HORTON is younger man than
Capt. HACKETT, and has many personal
attractions. lie is handsome, self-reli-
ant, successful, ambitious and popular.
The GLOBE does not know what church
he attends, nor has he ever defined his
views about the MCHALE bill in its
hearing. 1t is very likely that he has
no very strong feelings about this meas
ure, and that he would not speak for
more than an hour VI two in its advo-
cacy, should it come before the house Of
which he may be a member. The GLOBE
also does not know whether he conSid-
ers the reelection of CUSHMAN 4.
DAVIS the most important mission of
the coming legislature, or whether he is
solid on the tin plate issue. But
it does know that he is law
yer of good standing and con-
siderable attaInments, such as will be
very much needed on the Judiciary COM
mittee from the present outlook, and
that he has an adaptability of manner
and an experience in the world which
will put him in touch with his col
leagues and make him a valuable and

perhaps little impairment in a Demo-
cratic newspaper to take sides in this
contest, but since everybody else is
doing it, the GLoB does not propose to
be lonesome. After carefully weighing
the comparative claims of these two
gentlemen the GLOBE now comes out
squarely for HIIER FL. HORTON, the
voX populi candidate. and advises any
stray Democrats who may be wandering
amid the dreary marble halls of the
Seventh ward on Thursday afternoon
next, to drop into the Republican
primaries and do him the courtesy of at
least offering their votes in his favor.
If they are accepted, they will do him
considerable good. and if they are re-
Jected they can do him no harm. 1t is
a unique experience to have to choose
between the voice of God and the voice
of the people, and no one should fail to
embrace the opportunity.

LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS.

No one is prophet enough to tell whom
The Democracy of this county will Dat
OH its legislative ticket Tuesday next.
The outlook Is clouded with the COM
pleteSt uncertainty. and all the GLOBE
ventures is a hope that there will be
chosen good men, who will represent
The city with honesty and strength if
they are elected. This is the more urg-
ant at the present time because of the
character of the proposed Republican
nominations. At the last session Mr..
BELL, Mr.. STONE, F. C. STEVENS and
Mr.. LoMEN were at once Republicans
and members who carried weight and
influence in committees and on the floor
Of the house. According to the estab-
liShed methods which prevail in the Re-
publican party, this years list of candi-
iates has for the most part already been
fixed in advance of the primaries. The
primaries will do nothing more than reg
iSter the will Of the bosses. The slate
agreed on has been published several
ZINES, aud is known by all the inter-
ssted. The GLOBE, with entire freedom
from the spirit of partisanship, has no
hesltancy in denouncing it as made up
Of rotten material. The ill-conditioned,
HE weak, the ignorant and the openly
corrupt have been drawn on for its COM
position. These classes have repre-
sentatives in about equal proportions.
Unless the Democracy puts up men
whom our decent citizens can vote for
with a clear conscience, this commu-
nifty will at the next legislature speak
through the tlmid falsetto of the incom-
petent or the husky notes of the GRIM
tnal. A solemn duty rests on the De-
mocracy, to which the GLOBE urges it to

American tin plate industry. This won
for bin the tiattering but perilous i'll
dorsement of the local protectionist
o,gan, the Pioneer Press. And since
then he has been on the loom. Ali the
churches in the district are for him. At
the coming primaries the pastors and
deacons will be found in close phalanX,
peddling his tickets. All the Browning
and Ibsen clubs are for him. because he
has written book on tin plate. Capt.
HACKETT may be defined as the voX Del
candidate. If he gets there the same
elements which have Mr.. DEAN as their
able and digniiied representative in the
senate will have in him an equally able
and dignified representative in the
house. The GLOBE does not know how
he stands on the MCHALE bill, but it is
rumored that he favors it.. He has not
been as outspoken, however. on this
issue as he has been on protectioniSm.
But he is noteworthy exception to the
low standard which the Republican
party has set for itself in the matter of
legislative nominations. He is neither
ill-conditioned, weak, ignorant nor cor
rupt. He is courteous. honorable,
well-informed and much-respected gen.
tieman, who has done great deal for
st. Paul, and who deserves great deal
ut its hands.

TRANSPLANTED DIANA.

Some people are asking why the agri-
cultural building at the worlds fair was
chosen on which to place the Scantily
clothed Diana. Perhaps it is because
the clothes have been taxed Off the back
of agriculture by the charlottesville
C0urier-Journal.
Mrs. Potter Palmer declares that
Diana without panniers is a fitting eli
max to the agricultural building of the
worlds fair. Miss Frances Willard says
1t is not. Who shall dare to settle the
dispute?-Kansas City Star.
The bronze statue of Diana which
has stood upon Madison Square garden
tower in New York has been purchased
by the worlds fair management for the
agricultural building. A protest has
been filed by lot of pathetjcally pure
persons who blush when they are CON-
PEELED to see anything with the naked
eye, and it is possible that the goddess
will not be admitted into Chicago So
ciety.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Chicago has undertaken to be shocked
at Diana. who was recently removed
from Madison Square garden, and who
will figure as the largest vane in the
world at the big fair. The fact that it
is the biggest thing In its way ought to
be enough for Chicago, and the propo-
sition to paint the poor thing sky-blue
in order to make her invisihle-an alb

Capt. Weissert, or Gen. Weissert, as
he will now be called by reason of his
election as cOmmander-in-chief of the
Grand Army, Is said to have been
great stiekler for discipline while, he
was department commander in WiScon-
sin. He preferred the post hall to the
banquet board, and believed that on
meeting night the post room was the
place for Grand Army men.
Nine. Bourinnie, whom the Grand
Duke Nicholas married at Toula. was
born a serf, it is stated, as was her first

as Prince Nicholas RomanOff, having
renowned his title of grand duke and
Sundry other empty hOnors in order to

advised the Prince of Wales to have the.

Suleiman Pasha, whose death was re-
ported the other day, was commander
of the Turkish forces in the war with
Russia in 1877. He tried to take Shipka
pass. in the Balkans, from the invader,
and one of the bloodiest battles Of the
last twenty years resulted. Gen.
GhourkO repulsed him, however. Later
he tried without success to relieve
Plevna, and was defeated by the Grand
Duke Vladimir. Finally, in three
days. contest, he was overcome by
Ghourko near Adrianople, and Con-
stantinople was at the mercy of the Rus
sian. He was degraded from his rank
and sentenced to imprisonment for fif-
teen years; but this decree was changed
into exile as governor of Bagdad.
The late Duke of Buckingham was. in

engineer was at hand to take the North

got on the engine. his secretary acted as

the outskirts of the town into the sta

strikers pelted them with stones.

THE DRAMAS DECADENCE.

In its business affairs this is a stern,
uncompromlSing, relentless age. The
fierce competition of bread winning has
laid SobernesS, almost a SOmberneSS,
over end-of-the-century life unknown to
the hale and hearty days Of yore, when
men were to the manor or to the howell
born, and not, as nowadays, subject to
frequent reverSals of position.
Being thus warped and scared by ma
terial cares and anXieties, it is only nat
ural that the minds of the men and
women of today should seek decided
contrast in their reiaXations. In the
amusement field, therefore, an increas-
ing abandonment to absolute friyOlity
keeps pace with the increasing diff
culties and exactions of business life.
In stage productions this tendency is
particularly noticeable. The emotional
drama, the tragedy, and even the
harI owing melodrama, are Stunned
for the lighter productions of farce
and operetta, which require no eff
fort OF the tired brain to follow. The
more utterly frivolous the production,
the greater its vogue. Half the COM
panies now on the road are OF the
straight farce-comedy character, and
half of the remainder borrow features
from this popular style Of histrionism.
In New York the taste for the frivolous
has gone to the extent of turning a first
class theater, the Casino, into an out.
aud-out concert hall. Even the skeleton
plots of farce and opera bouffe have
been abandoned at the Casino as requir-
ing too much strain OH the attention,
and the variety features are given with
out any connecting thread of story. The
example will probably be followed in
other cities. and the solid substructure
of legitimate histrionism be hidden still
deeper under the froth and spray and
foam.
And, after all. why not? Why carry
into stage mimicry the seriousness
which, God wot, we seldom ell ough get
away from in our own lives? Why let
the ''cares that infest the day. of real
ty be done over again at night in sham?
There may be nothing elevating except
heels in Ta-ra-boom dramatics, but. SO
please you, there is likewise nothing
wearing and tearing Oh the already
worn and torn emotions.
