HURRAH FOR COMO PARK.

Sunday thousands of st. Paul people en-
jOyed themselves at Como park. Motors
with trailerS were run ten minutes apart
all day, and every train was crowded.
But for the opening of the street railway
line to the grounds nearly all these peo-
pie would have gone to Lake Harriet.
The drain from Harriet was so great
that early in the day the street railway
company began running interurban cars
through from the loop in st. Paul to the
Minneapolis resort. And even this
great accommodation was improved
only to limited extent. Lake Harriet
is apretty sheet Of water, surrounded by
woods and driveway. with a pavilion,
band and boats. Como has quite as
pretty a lake, which is surrounded by a
driveway, and as park it is rival to
the beautiful Washington park of Chi
cage; but it is minus the pavilion, band
and boats. With the addition of these
and few more drinking places it will
be the attraction of the Twin Cities. 1t
will draw Minneapolis people to it in
almost as large numbers as Harriet has
drawn from st. Paul.
nv INV OuiiNog ahOt0CO a ldlt
test of how the park will draw st. Paul
people to it, aud keep their money at
home. Sunday, footmen lined every
avenue and pathway throughout the
park, and the driyeways were FULL of
carriages. The floral decorations are
most elaborate and beautiful, and the
water in the lake is at good stage. If
next Sunday Is pleasant we may expect
to see a still greater throng there; and
the crowds will increase from now to
the end of the season.
1t is understood that Mr.. LOWRY in
tends, soon as he can reach the work, to
put i'll a pavilion and boats, and to have a
band at the lake each Sunday. The
sooner he does this, the better for the
park. Members of the park board say
that it is the intention to put in more
drinking fountains very soon, and to
otherwise improve the pleasure grounds
i'll important ways.
Comparatively few of the present resi-
dents of st. Paul are aware that the
purchase of Como park for 500, 900
was one of the most bitterly criticised
public acts in the history of the city.
As matter of derision the park was
one year rented as COW pasture. and
later penal Institution was located
within its borders.
The thousands who now enjoy the
beautiful spot will wonder that such
sentiments ever existed.
1t might be well for opponents Of
some of the present proposed additional
parks to ponder upon the experience of
the past and the object leSsonsafforded
/ by Como park.

the dear creatures love to linger in their
partings at the open door, whether the
parting guest is merely friend or the
object Of their hearts fondest adora-
ton. They stood in the half-opene d
door, with hand on knob, exchanging
those postscripts of talk SO dear to their
hearts, while, in the days of swarm
ing flies, the buzzing insects swarmed
in from the outer air to do their
work of scaYengers and disturb
the placidity Of our morning maps.
Then came to our relief the ge-
Mus who invented the wire screen
cloth aud applied it to our windows and
doors. so that we might have the light
and the breeze with freedom from the
festive and bothersome fly. Still. habit.
enforced by heredity, controls the sex;
and still, ignoring the fact that her
screen door is peryious to sight and
sound, she stands with the screen ajar,
as of old she held the wooden door,
holding her parting guest; and the jubi-
liant fly fits in as of yore and works his
sweet will among the edibles and runs
with titillating feet over the bald head
of paterfamilias, the exciting cause of
imprecations which keep the eyes of
the recording angel flooded with tears
with which to wash away the naughty
words.

CONGR CALCULATIONS AND well
COME

The GLOBE extends congratulations to
Hon. HoKE SMITH.
We believe he is the first secretary of
the interior who has ever, during the
first few months of his term of Office,
visited the section of country with which
his department of the government is
chiefly concerned.
The atmosphere of the East and South
is provincial. Their lack of familiarity
with the West dwarfs their ability to
properly consider and handle national
affairs.
Mr.. SMITH, being a newspaper man,
has the ability-and he evidently has the
intention-to overcome this provincial
ism, by securing information which
books and maps cannot convey.
For the first time in his life he visits
portion of the country which must abSo-
lutely be seen to be appreciated.
We congratulate him upon, so early
in his cabinet career, having decided to
inform himself Of his duties. He is to
be especially congratulated upon hay
ing the aid of our own distinguished tel-
low citizen, JAMES j. HILL, in directing
his movements, so that, in the limited
time at his disposal. he can obtain a
vast fund of information which will
bear official fruit No man in the entire
country IS so well adapted as Mr.. HILL
70 introduce the secretary to the West.
Mr.. CLEVELAND had never been west
of Buffalo until some time after he had
been president and, in his second term,
he is far better fitted for the discharge
Of his duties, from the fact that he has
ascertained from personal observation
that there is West.
The people of all this section will well
come Mr.. SMITH upon his visit, con-
fident in the belief that ne will return
to Washington better equipped to dis
charge his public labors. and still better
able to fill the higher position of an ed
itor, when he resumes his profession at
the close of his official career.
Hail and welcome from the West to
Hon. HOKE SMITH.

WELCOMED THE VIKING.
Citizens Of Milwaukee Receive the
Vessel Royalty.

Vessel hOyaIiy.
MILWAUKEE. July 10.-The scene in
cident to the reception of the Spanish
caraveIs last week were repeated
today, when the viking ship entered
the harbOr and moved up the river
at the same dock at which the
caravels were moored. The docks and
bridges were crowded with people as
the odd-looking craft came up the river,
but their cheers were deadened by the
diScOrdant notes of hundreds of steam
whistles, which seemed to split the
very air. The viking ship arrived yes
terday, but was anchored IN the bay
until about 1880 this morning,
when the Andy Johnson. with
the reception committee, and the
tug Welcome. with a band and
twenty sailors from the seamen'ssunon.
went out and escorted the strange visi-
tor in. the seamen manning the oars.
A salute was fired by the First light
battery as the viking ship moved to-
wards the harbor. As soon as the vik-
ing ship reached the dock, a procession
composed OF Scandinavian societies
took up its march for Juneau park, and
halted at the statute OF Left Ericsson,
where stand had been erected for the
speakers. Prof. RaSmuS Is. Anderson
late minister to Denmark, and Prof.
Olsen, of the state university, spoke in
Norwegian and English. Speeches were
also made by Gov. Peck, Mayor Koch
and John ThOrsen. The guests were
then taken to the soldiers home and
about the city in trolley cars and car
riages. This evening banquet was
given to the guests at the Hotel PfiSter.

And Rev. Smith Baker Succeeds
Him in a Good Work.
At the recent annual meeting of the
Children's Aid Society OF Minnesota DR.,
Cyrus Northrop resigned the presidency
that he had held since its organization,
Sept. IL, 1889. and Rev. Smith Baker,
l.. d., was elected in his place. Lest
any misunderstanding of his reason for
so doing should arise, he wrote Mir.
Savage the following letter:
Rev. Il. Z. Savage Dear Sir: My sole
reason for declining to be a candidate
for reelection as president of the
Children's Aid society was that | had
so many public duties TO attend in con-
nectlon with my work III the university,
that | did not feel able to the work of
the society. My confidence in the so

yourself as superintendent and in the
deslrablenesS of the work has not di-

CYRUS NoRTHRoP.
Minneapolis, July 7, 1898.
The society has thus far placed more
than 80 children in good homes. 1t
now has in its charge children of vari-
Gus ages for whom it seeks good Chris
tian homes. Among them are two bright
boys or fourteen years, two of ten and
twelve years, and two of six and nine
years. Also some baby boys of about a
year, and some baby girls of one, three

BAD CROP OUTLOOK.
Wheat Shows Less Than Half a
Crop in Mcleod and Renville.

Special to the Globe.
HUTCHINSON. July 10.-A thorough
investigation as to the condition of the
growing grain within radius of some
twenty miles from Hutchinson shows
that wheat on the prairie farms west OF
Hutchinson, running we'll into Rem
vile county, will be less than half an
average crop, providing it fills well.
Should the berry become blighted, how
ever, not one acre in ten would ever be
cut. 1t is already heading out about
ten inches from the ground with de
cidedly unhealthy look. Wheat in the
timber is looking somewhat better, and
with favorable conditions from this out
will make three-fourths of an average
crop.
Corn is coming forward in fine shape
and will be above the average Much
flax was Sown ON new breaking and
will be failure on account of dry
weather. For the same reason potatoes
will be fight crop. Oats are looking
fairly well. One and half inches of
rain fell Thursday night last, which, it
is hoped, will somewhat improve the
above conditions. The hay crop is being
harvested, and is of fine quality and
heavy in WELD.

A. MUCH MIXED CURRENCY.

The Washington dispatches contained
a statement recently that there was
being prepared for Secretary CAR
Isle schedules showing the different
kinds of currency in the country, and
it further stated that he was consider
ing suggestions to unity the currency
by the withdrawal of all kinds now in
use and the substitution of treasury
notes for them. The article named nine
different kinds of money issued by the
government or by its permission. but
they fall into two classes issued
directly by the government and money
issued by private corporations under
governmental permission and supervl-
sion.
The national bank currency and the
federal issues of money or its repre-
Sentatives are compromises between the
two conceptions of the relations of the
try. The greenback is the product OF
that class who esteem it a proper func-
ton OF government to supply the people
with their medium of exchange. The
bank note is the product of that other
class who think that the furnishing of
money is as much the field of private
enterprise as is the supplying of bread
or clothing, aud that the province of
government is limited to legislation
assuring its security.
1t is evident from the discussions in
and out of the press that we have
reached time when there must be
complete surrender of one or the other
of these concepts. We must either have
all the money and its representatives
issued by the government, or it must all
be left TO private enterprise to furnish,
under legislative regulation: as to Sc.
curity only. Certainly this hybrid
money system should be discarded. Ii
should be all one or the other.
The dispatch, bearing a semi-of1icial
stamp, Is significant as showing that
the question is taking this form.
1t Will be the question that Will have to
be taken up either Immediately follow
ing the repeal OF the SHERMAN act or
| III connection with it. Its consideration
will be cleared of an objection that was
urged against the greenbacks and their
reissue authorized by the act of 1875
the want of authority in the federal
government to issue bills of credit. The
! supreme court. in deciding the consti-
tutionality OF that act, and holding it to
be one of the inherent powers of soy
ereignty to emit bills, eliminates that
ground of dissent. The GLOBE, while
admitting the advantages claimed for
the single governmental issue of paper
money, still believes that the dangers
outweigh the advantages, and sees as
yet no sufficient reason for changing its
| Democratic ground.

Divorce Court.
Special to the Globe.
SIoUN FALLS, S. D., July 10.-NIrs.
Elizabeth r. Durham has returned to
Sioux Falls, and has begun an action at
Canton for divorce from Ransom w.
Durham, of Chicago, ex-congressman
and former president of the Chicago
board of trade. Mrs. Dunham's com
plant alleges adultery, but mentions
no one as correspondents. Mrs. Dun
ham this evening said to your CORE
spondent that she would be able to
prove this charge. She alleges also
cruelty in that her husband compelled
her to adopt dangerous policies to pre-
vent maternity. She SwearS that her
health has been irretrievably lost be-
cause of her compliance with her huS-
bands orders, and that she will have TO
undergo all operation, which may result
in her death. An effort will be made to
get personal service OH Durham,
aud the plaintiff hopes he will
come out to fight the case.
She says that Durham does not intend
to push his divorce case at Chicago, and
that if he does he cannot prove her
adultery with Maj. a. w. Allen except
on purchased testimony. If she gets
this she will prosecute the witness for
perjury. She is accompanied here by
her oldest daughter Nettie, which Gus
tOdy Durham has asked for. Ex-COn-
gresham Clifford is Dunham's attorney.
Mrs. Durham talks very freely about
her ease, seeming to be anxious to give
the full details to the public.

Inspector Stamm dominates Prof
Fisher, but in Vain = Cut OF
$1,000 in the Salary Not OBJ
jected To-Much Secrecy OBJ
served by the School Board.
Prof. A. j. Smith, of Sedalia, Mo-, is
principal of the st. Paul high and man
ual training school.
There is really no surprise in this, for
the event was practically settled at the
last previous meeting of the board of
school inspectors. AT that time Prof.
Smith was placed in nomination by In
spector Willrich, and there was no men
ton made of rival candidate for the
position. That was sufficient in itself to
lead to the conclusion that Prof. Smith
had certainty.
The salary had been $4,000 year, but
the board cut it to So, 900, and it is under
stood that Prof. Smith is perfectly sat-
isfied with the compensation. Indeed,
he is man of some affiuence, and SAL
airy, it is stated, cuts little figure. He
has been teacher for a good many
years, and can boast the most enviabIe
encomiums from educators who are ia
mllIar with his attainments and ca
pacity.
1t was regular meeting OF the board
OF school inspectors that was held at the
high school yesterday, and the principal
business to be transacted was relevant
to the nomination that had been made
by Inspector Willrich of Prof. Smith.
There f11k
the election was made unanimous. Still.
THIS was not effected until DR.. Stamm
had presented the name of Prof. Charles
A. Fisher. of this city. The GLOBE had
made mention of the fact that only two
OF the numerous candidates for the ap-
polntment resided in st. Paul, and this
circumstance led the friends and admir-
ers OF Prof. Fisher to induce him to nre-
sent his name. This was done at the
session yesterday by DR.. Stamm, but
the board had already formed an opin-
ion that obtained.
The Session Routine.
Upon converting Inspector O'Brien
made the motion to adopt the report
made by Inspector Willrich, as chair
man of the committee on high and
MANUAL u dlHluS SCIOOl, anu INlS1 mo-
ton prevailed.
Then the committee on fuel and lam
itorS submitted an unimportant re-
port, and the board Immediately went
into executive session. In fact, this or
ganlZation has an amazing penchant for
star chamber work, as the past has so
completely eXemplitied.
The secret session lasted nearly an
hour. and then the committee on high
and manual training school nomi-
mated Miss Susan Patterson to be a
teacher in the high schrol. This had
evidently been bone of contention,
and the board was split upon the ques-
ton of choice. When the vote was
taken, however, all voted aye save In
spector O'Brien, who voted no.
Mrs. Della Ames was then elected
Kindergarten for Ericsson school, and
once more the board went into executive
session. What was done is left a mat
Ter or conjecture. The inspectors dis
claim that anything of moment was dis.
cussed, but there is suspicion that the
personnel OF the teachers, together With
salaries and matters of this sort, were
considered.
When the board opened the doors it
was only TO make the announcement
that ali adjournment had been had, and
that there was no further information
to be given the press
