are this evening. The speaker then
gave history of other clubs, and said:
The Commercial Club of ST. Paul. while
it has no traditions to make its history
sentimental IS Just what should be eX-
pected of club OF It's kind in its time
and place-itS object is not ODly to
establish a permanent organization Of
the business men OF st. Paul. and to
promote more Intimate social relations
among its members. and consequently
more friendly feeling: but to know and
understand each other, and make oGr
lives better and happier and more con-
tented, and to make good fathers and
brothers. and husbands and SONS. better
fathers and brothers, ETC.. and to help
carry out their private lives in true,
honest and moral way: to lit
them up and improve them intel
lectually as we'll as morally. to make
them more prosperous and therefore
more cOntented. And its aim is to build
up and make St. Paul a greater and
better city, to correct what is faulty,
strengthen what is weak, condemn what
is bad ana approve what is good, and TO
make its citizens prosperous, c0ntented
and happy; and they believe the city's
highest and beSi interests are their in
terests. The history of the club and
what it has done for the city you are all
familiar with, as l have written it up
with that well-known ability for which
L am noted and published it in my pa
per called the ''St.P Paul DAILY GLOBE"
The members of the club are optimists
IN the highest and best sense of the
word. They say and maintain that the
constitution of the world ia good. and
that the constitution of human nature is
good, and that the laws of nature and

In our search for the most potent factor
that thus calls it forth we must go back
to the creation. The entrance OF
woman upon the stage of action IS
the starting point. While we deplore
the fact that she caught man mapping.
this is the course she always purSueS.
and most fortunate it is that such is
the case. Lives there man who would

referred to as seamy side. If it be
so, then we pronounce it a fraud, Il
counterfeit and metal of baser kind.
Let congenial spirits cOmmingIe. let
our association be such that shall cause
the desert experiences of life to bud
and blossom as the rose; the solitary
hours be made glad; the weary soul
quenched and refreshed; the wall Of
sorrow give place to song of joy; the
darkness of dependency give way to
sunrise of hope; the cares of business
dispersed by peals of laughter; and
memory weave ten thousand gOsSamer
threads of hallowed deompanionship.
WHAT THE PRESS DON'T KNOW.
The next toast was entitled What
the Press DON'T Know" and the Fe@
sponse by j. l.. Stack was one of the
hits of the evening. He said:

gentlemen, against the narrow limits

that fact. and the testimony your very
presence here supplies. and Nature her
self would rebuke the denial. Every
bud that smiles itself open at the touch
of a sunbeam; every dew-drop that
nestles in its cradle of fragrance; every
star that glitters among its compan-
ions; every lamb that gambols in the
meadow; every bird that carols TO its
mate; every brook that sings its way
merrily Ger its bed of pebbles; every
river that sweeps along with rhythmical
flow; every ocean thai shoreward sends
its tapping wayes-all these bear wilt
ness to the existence of what our SUBJ
ject suggests. The social side of man
is the side that puts into a cloud the
silver lining. that part of man that
dimples his cheeks with smiles, and
tosses the flowers in his pathway. It
was higher than human Judgment
that said at is not good for man to be
alone"
What is the social side of man?
Could we but ascertain from which side
the lost rib. we would answer the
question in a literal and concrete way.
We admit that in developing this side
of his nature there must exist an
environment necessary to call it FORTH.

of the evening.
'Our Club and It's Members was
then announced as the first toast. with
response by Judge J. j. McCafferty.
who was introduced by the toastmaster
as Judge John Jeremiah McCafferty.

Judge McCafferty stated at the outset
that he had been originally selected as
the toastmaster OF the avening, and 500
members of the club had voted in favor
OF his occupying that position, as he was
the handsomest man III the club, with
the exception of MIR. Owens, the chair
man of the committee of arrangements.

allow him to act as POSTMASTER

When the Session Opened.

WASHINGTON, March so. - When
Speaker Crisp ascended the rostrum
today he was given rousing reception
from members on both sides of the
house, the demonstration lasting fully
minute. The battle of yesterday even
ing was promptly renewed by Mr.. Reed
on a challenge or the correctness of the
journal in failing to show Mr.. Payne's
point of order on the question of but one
teller acting. On rising vote the jour-
nal was approved. and on call of yeas
and nays the previous question was or
dered and debate limited to fifteen min
utes on either side. After speech by
Mr.. Reed regarding the speakers rul-
ing yesterday, Mr. Reeds motion
to amend the journal was voted
down. The vote OH approving the
journal showed a quorum voting. Mr.
Reeds motion to adjourn was decided
out of order, and the speaker declined
to entertain an appeal, and again re-
fused TO state the ground OF refusal,
holding that no member has a right to
inquire the grounds OF decision any
more than lawyer has to demand the
same thing of judge on the bench.
THAT looks very much like tyranny"

The next episode was the overruling

house having made the contested cleo

he would move to pass the bill over the

which the house had declared Mr.
JOY not entitled to his seat, Mr.. Reed,
standing near the clerks desk, said he
would like to be permitted to see the
roll call taken. This was resented by
the speaker, who sharply ordered Mr..
Reed to take his seat, and directed the
sergeant-at-arms to enforce order, as
Mr.. Reed did not move fast enough to
suit.
This is entirely unnecessary" said
Mr.. Reed, looking the speaker IN the

apologetic explanation the incident
closed. The roll call now disclosing

FREE COINAGE
May Be Tackled on to the End OF
the Tariff Sill.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-A rumor
gained currency about the capitol TO the
effect that the veto of the seigniorage
bill would be taken advantage of by the
silver men to attempt to secure an
amendment to the tariff bill by adding
provision for free coinage; but senator's
of all shades of opinion, wneu asked if
there were any foundations for the
report, said there was not to their
knowledge. Senator Quay, who has
presented to the tariff bill an amend
ment providing for free coinage, said
that the veto might make an impression
upon the Democratic senators thab
would influence them to agree to an
amendment, but he had heard of no
movement among them IN that direc.
ton. Senator Gray, representing the
anti-free coinage Democrats; Senator
Pugh. of the free coinage element, and
Senator Dubois, of the free coinage Re-
publicans, all agreed that there was no
understanding 10 this effect. Senator
Gray did not believe such thing would
be undertaken, and Senator Dubois
said If it should be it was vet too early
to formulate auy plan.

ling selection with an execution that
was as marvellous as it was interesting.
Prof. Swasey rendered selections on the
piano, and MIS-. d. F. ColvilIe sang very
acceptably.
At o'clock the gathering, headed by
President W. j. FO0tner and TOastmas-
ter-elect Il. P. Hall repaired to the
dining room, where the club chef served
an excellent dinner The tables pre-
sented pleasant sight, surrounded by
ladies and gentlemen. The menu was
served while the company dIscOGrsed on
general themes and chatted pleasantly.
AT the conclusion of the dinner Presl-
dent w. j. FOotner asked attention to
the toasts and responses which were
expected to follow Mr.. Footner said
that of the many dinners given the past
winter this one is the most delightful.
He Thought it fitting to give this dinner
to the ladies because of their interest in
the clubs success. Mr.. Footner spoke
of the success of the dinner being large
ly due to the chairman of the entertain
ment committee. John w. Owens. and
in connection with his business stated
that he represented very early scene

to whose ability as manager we each
of us can and do testify, ever polite and

deeply indebted, not only for the par

delightful people we have met tonight,
but IN the good taste and ability he has
shown in his arrangements.
Mr.. President, the members of the
club salute YOU tonight. We heartily
thank you for the good work you have
already done, and we appreciate how
earnestly and faithfully you have la

the success of the club is due to your
personal magnetism and executive abil-

Women Call a Halt.

LEXINGTON, KY, March 80. = The
move which was on foot here among
the women to get up petition con-
demning Col. Breckenridge has stopped
by the publication of their movements
before it had finished. Letters were
written last week to Col. Breckinridge's
friends and counsel in Washington, and
replies have been received by many
persons saying that such action should
not be taken upon the evidence OF Miss
Pollard. which sets at rest all doubts of
the intention OF the ladies. They deny
that they have signed petition to con-
gress. but denounce Col. Breckinridge
in strong terms.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Congress-
man Picker of South Dakota is very
much elated over the fact that the sem
ate not only retains his amendment to
the pension appropriation bill. but has
improved it. His amendment provided
that the pension Office should mold itself
ready to exhibit all papers to applicants
or attorneys on demand. The senate
has amended it by adding provision
that medical examining boards shall
furnish all applicants a copy of proofs
on demand.
