Bamboo Republic: A Catholic
priest in Milwaukee, ia a recent
lecture, reiterated the stale false
hood that the enactment called the
Bennett Law was inspired by the
Masonic order, for the purpose of
prosecuting Catholics. Governor
Peck is Mason Of the highest
order, and if the Masonic fraternity
fathered that law, the Governor, as
a good Mason and an honest man,
would have been compelled to stand
by it. The fact that he accepted a
nomination on a platform pledged
to its repeal, and that he was cleo
ted by receiving the Catholic vote
almost unanimously, combine to
show the charge false, and that

THE DEMORALGZED DEMOC-
RACY.

The poor, demoraiized Democracy has
received another blow. this time from a
surprising quarter. 1t was only to be
expected that the sulphurOuS smell OF
gunpowder should peryade the party'S
councils in New York. because it al
ways does. The sad stories of disin-
tegration in the South, also. have been
heard so often that the faithful have
grown reeoncIled to their painfulness,
and braveIy admit that Texas and Mis-
sisSipDi are debatabie ground. But who
would have supposed that treason
should find an abiding place in that
grand old commonwealth of Nevada?
Alabama might waver, and Kentucky
go over to the enemy, but the glOomieSt
OF prOgnOsticators has never cal
eulated OIL the disloyaIty of the
vast host of Democrats who peo-
ple the land of silver camps and sage
brush. The worst however, seems to
ibe true from all accounts. Over the
wires come the distressing tidings that
in convention assembled the leaders OF
the party in Nevada have resolved to
bolt the national ticket unless friend
of free coinage is nominated at Chicago.
This is really too awful. IS it not pos
gible that some mistake has been made?
Perhaps one of NeVada's Democrats
was out of town when this resolution
was adopted. and the other two took ad-
vantage of his absence. The GLOBE
hopes that their action will be recOnsid-
cred before it induces a panic among
the Democracy of the country. These
are terrible times. The next thing we
know the Democrats of Vermont will
be threatening revolution.

AN ELEPHANT ON ITS HANDS.

The market house-wbat about it?
It is not pretty to look upon. profitable
to own nor useful for the purposes to
which it is put. What shall we do
with it?
Leave it alone" say the property
owners in its vicinity. ut attracts the
hucksters and their customers, and
makes trade lively in the neighbor-
hood" Here,lS one view
Il have carefully examined the law
says the genial and learned Judge
EGAN. ''but cannot find the word
auditorium. We may paint the market
house. Perhaps we might kalsomine
it. But further than that we cannot
legally ge." Here is another view.
Let US sell the building to the syndi-
cate which is going to buy the water
works" says the modern party of tax
haters, land apply the proceeds on our
municipal debt" Here is third view:
LET record be made up and an ap-
peal taken from the decision of the
district court, ,; say the GLOBE. the city
attorney and many broad-minded citi-
ZenS. IF it is sustained. as in all like
lihOOd it will be. let law be enacted by
the next legislature authorizing the con-
stTuction, OH the present market house
site, of substantial and handsome edi-
fee adapted for public uses" Here is
a fourth view.
On this question there is much differ
ence of opinion, because no weli-settled
rule exists as to how a community
should act when it has an elephant on
its hands.

trict. arrived In st. Paul yesterday
morning, to attend the session of the
new United States court of appeals,
which begins IN the government build
ing Monday. and is now at the Aber-
deem. Judge Caldwell is one of the
ablest Judges in the service of the fed
eral government, as well one OF the old
est in point of service, having been ap-
pointed to the Eastern Arkansas district
in 1864 by President Lincoln. This po-
sition he held until President Harrison
made him a circuit Judge.
Judge Caldwell was born In West
Virginia fifty seven years ago, and has
had most successful and distinguished
career. He was educated in the COM
mon schools of Iowa, where his father
remOved when the future Judge was
two years old. In 1862 he was admitted
to the Iowa bar, and four years later be-
came prosecuting attorney of Van
Buren, county. From 1859 TO 1861 he was
member of the Hawkeye legislature.
When the war commenced he entered
the service in the Third Iowa volunteer
cavalry, and became in succession
major, lieutenant colonel. and colonel
of his regiment. He was in the service
from lS6l TO June 4. lS64, when Presi-
dent Lincoln appointed him district
Judge. Judge Caldwell is distinguished
looking gentleman who likes his work,
and was evidently designed for Judge.
.'fhe court of appeals" he said, will
relieve the supreme court in a measure
as was intended by congress when they
provided for it. 1t will, however, re-
quire the time of the circuit judges,
and probably end their appearing in the
district courts"

ST. PAUL's NEW CHIEF.

Mr.. GARvIN. St. PauPs new chef of
police, is from Joliet, Ill. Mr.. GEORGE
THOMPSON, editor of the Dispatch. is
from Joliet. Ill. These two gentlemen
we're bosom friends years ago, and this
close friendship still exists. When the
management of the penitentlary at
Saltwater became stencil in the nos
trilS of the public by reason of its noto-
rioTS incompetency and no less notorl-
Gus scandals, Mr.. THOMPSON Induced
: GOV. MERRIAM to appoint his particular
friend GARVIN as warden of the prison..
In making this appointment the gov
ernor made no mistake. Mr.. GARVIN
has proven 10 be Dre-eminently a mt
man for the place.
Mr.. TuoMPsoN and Mayor-eiect
WRIGHT are, as Mr.. THOMPSON and
Gov. MERRIAM are known To be, warm
and confidential personal and political
friends. In the governors case Mr..
THOMPSON has proven to be wise, sale
and most Judicious counselor. This IS
known to the governors closest friends,
and to them 1t is equally known that his
eXcellency never takes an important
step in public affairs without first sub
mltting the matter to the judgment and
advice of Mr.. THOMPSON. and that he
seldom or never disregardS that advice.
Mayor WRIGHT does we'll TO place
himself under the same wise counsel
Mr.. THOMPSON does not fail to interpret
Alright the spirit of the reform victory.
The chief plank i'll the platform upon
which the new mayor was placed as a
candidate was a declaration that first
and above all things the gang" must
be cleaned out, and the chief and most
positive pledge given by the candidate
in accepting the nomination was one
that he would. if elected. ''cfean out the
gang" As publicly understood, the
police force constitutes a large and most
important section of the dreadful
gang" and. of course. it must be
CLEANED out" with promptness. In
this view of the case, Mr.. Thompson
made no mistake in quietly sQuelching

1t was apparent at the regular fort
nightly meeting of The trades ana labor
assembly, held last evening, that the
condition of united labor is making adj
yancement. The assembly put itself on
record as favOring cooperative enter
prise. as evidenced by its action relative
to the KingSlsnd Smith mill scheme.
The committee appointed TO inquire
into the matter submitted long report
'5in- the premises, attached to which
were a series Of preambles and
resolutions which review the sit

stating that the plan of MIR. Smith is to
give persons of limited means an epDor-
tunlty to share in the profits, of manu-
featuring brands of flour which the
workingmen consume i'll large quanti-
ties. and that the plan proposed would
afford greater facilities for increasing
the product OF this commodity, the reso-
lutionS heartily indorSe the plan and
decide to recommend it to the working
people for investment. MI. Smith was
requested to furnish such other iafor
nation as he deems advisable lis to his
plan of building aud operating the CO.
operative mill.
As to the state of trade, the delegates
reported that in thirteen branches trade
is good, in nine it is fair and i'll three

STRAW ROADS.

The assumption is readily had that,
however desirable it may be to have
good roads, the cost of any present avail
able system of Improvement is finan-
cially out of reach. That would be true
if it were expected to build complete and
durable roadwayS generally at once.
The most that can be reasonably ex-
peeted is to secure the adoption of such
road laws as will avoid the waste efforts
and absurdities that now regulate the
public ways. Nobody would wish to
add to the burdens Of the farmers, upon
whom the msapplied road labor is now
chiefly saddled. It is not understood.
even with the experience in the
older countries, that the problem
is quite solved as to how the
roads can be made the best within the
resources of the local authorities. But
the investigation should go on. The
illustrations proposed in connection
with the worlds fair may further the
solution. As temp orary expedient
and inexpensive, the use of straw re-
Gently reported in one of the counties
of Illinois in the wet land and deep
mud of the Mississippi bottom is worth
notice. During the late muddy period
a farmer hauled straw and filled short
stretch of the worst road and made ii
the best in the county. In the same
way very bad road out of Carthage,
one of the old towns of the section, was
made the best in the section, and
about the only one that the farm
ers could haul anything to town

road can be made good for a season, at

CHICAGo,s NEW CHIEF.

Col. MCCLAUGHRY, who is making
such fine record as the new chief of
police of Chicago, was. until appointed
to his present position, a resident of
Joliet, ILL.,, and went up to Chicago
from the same penitentiary that Mr..
GARvIN, st. Paurs new chief, was pro-
NOTED from. Col. MCCLACGHRY has a
wide reputation as a successful disei-
plinarian, and the police force of Chi
eago is clever army in numbers, and
was greatly in need of a head whose
training had been on the strict military
order. 1t is argued that, since Col. Nc
CLAUHGRY has made gratifying sue
cess in his new field. Mr.. GARyIN, who
has had something of the same prison
experience, will make an equal success
of his new field in st. Paul.
Besides this. Mr.. GARvIN possesses
another prime qualification for this i'm
portant position-he is a Republican.
1t is plain that no Democrat is fit to be
placed at the head Of the police depart
ment, or. in fact, to.have any place upon
the police force of great city-for is it
not written that "a thief should always
be selected to catch thieveS?'

MANY CLEVER PUPILS
Givea a Most Enjoyable Concert at
the Peoples.

The public school concert. long
looked for by the school children of the
city, and for which preparations have
been under way for several months
past, took place at the Peoples chnrch
last evening. Every seat in the large
auditorium had been taken al noon yes
terday. and many were compelled to
stand. Fully 1,500 boys and girls from
the various schools participated. and
the concert surpassed anything of its
kind attempted in st. Paul. The Choir
uses were all under the direction of
Prof. Congdon. the teacher of music in
the public schools, and demonstrated
the high standard the classes have
reached under his instruction. Every
number was apDlauded by the large
audience, and some were encored sew
eral times. A vocal solo, He Was a
Prince" sung by Rellie Phillips,
of Cleveland school, was especial
ly fine. The "Bogie Man" and
policeman Gay" were two numbers
carried out by the primary pupils of
John Erickson school, under the direc-
tion of Miss Hattie E. Ruddy. Some
twenty little misses, arrayed i'll white
gowns and night caps. each carrying
lighted candle. marched on the stage In
search of the ''bogie man'and, with the
CHORUS, IdlIly UfOusut uONH tIlC ltOuoS'
After them came twelve boys wearing
the regulation police uniform ana carry
ing clubs as big as themselves. Their
acting was equal to the little girls
and they retired loaded down
with IaureIs. The audience was
treated to a surprise when
the primary pupils of the Jackson
school, directed by Mrs. <. Deacon.
went through the calisthenic exercises.
Every arm and foot moved at once, and
tire training displayed by the little
ones was simply astonishing. Last. but
not least OH the programme. was tile
grand soldiers chorus OF 1,0o0 voices.
The rafterS fairly rang with the music
Of the childish voices. all keeping time
and carrying their respective parts In
the chorus with wonderful harmony.
The teachers and principals OF the
schools. along with Prof. C0ngdon. are
worthy of the greatest praise for the
success of the entertainment, which
owing to the fact that many were un
able to secure seats and did not attend
will probably be repeated Monday or
Tuesday evening.

FOR CONVENTION WEEK.

Only little more than a week re :
mans before our city will be filled with
strangers from every quarter of the
country. If any concerted action is to
be taken for the decoration of our
streets and buildings in advance of their
arrival, it must be taken at once. The
GLOBE would be glad if the beautiful
illuminations which so successfully
marked many previous public occasions
could be repeated during the conven-
tion's sessions. 1t urged this during
the absence of Col. WRIGHT and re-
peats the suggestion now on his return.
The outgoing administration will be
reluctant to assume the responsibility
for the necessary expenditure, but it
can and should be made. Would it not
be we'll for the mayor-elect to confer
with the aldermen who will take their
seats next month, and with their ap-
preval undertake to devise some meas
ures adapted to the present situation?
Of course we must be economical in
general, but little prodigaIity will be
DardOned now under the circumstances.
We can make up for it after our guests
are gone by earnest retrenchment all
around. A national convention does
not meet in this region very often, and
we must make the most of the oppor-
tunity.

SILVER BILL DELAYED.
StewaPt's Measure to Come UE
Next TueSdaY.

WASHINGTON. May 27.-At the close
of the morning business IN the senate
today the presiding officer, Mr. Paddock,
announced that the senate would now
take up the unfinished business, being
the bill to provide for the free coinage
of gold and silver. AS no senator took
the floor the presiding officer stated that
the bill was still open for amendment.
No amendment being offered he an
nounced that the committee of the whole
was discharged from its further consid-
GRAFTON, aud that the bill was now be-
fore the senate.
That statement first attracted the at
tention of MI. Sherman, who rose aud
said that he knew of several senators
who desired to address the senate be-
fore the matter vas passed upon. but
who were not prepared to do so today.
He himself desired to speak on the bill;
but he had sent to the treasury depart
ment for information without which he
would not like to proceed. He there
fore suggested that the bill should 60
over till Tuesday next, which was
finally agreed to unanimously, being
granted that the bill should be taken up
as the unfinished business.
Senators on both sides of the silver
question say that the debate upon tree
coinage will be protracted for several
days, though it is admitted that if the
silver men determine to force a speedy
vote they have the Strength to carry out
their purposes. MIR. Morrill, Intimated
that the senators on his side would in
sist on their right to address the senate,
and his position as chairman of the COM
lnittee OIL finance gave weight to his
statement
