PRETTY DISPLAY AT SEASONS

Meet at the Same Place
Jan. 10.

The Commercial club rooms were TAX
en- by storm last evening by delegations
from uniformed carnival clubs. The
Bostons, Lafayettes, Minnehahas, Red
Men and Columbus were represented
A jollier crowd never assembled in the
rooms of the club, nor was a more pleas
crate lunch, with hot coffee, was served
at the expense of the carnival officers,
and when this had been satisfactorily
disposed Of a social session was held in
the audience room. Secretary Bowiby
assisted by Directors Perkins Chitten-
den and Brant, did the honors, while
Assistant Secretary Ryder acted as
master of ceremonies. There was sing
ing by Tenny and Wolf, the Misses Leo
Edward Murphy and others, inter-
spersed with music by the Boston Mill
tary band, which made a hit with all
by its good work during the evening
Secretary McGinnis extended d welcome
for the Commercial club, and Secretary
Bowlby for the officers of the associa-
ton. Maj. Wilkinson, of Fort Smelling,
made very happy little speech, and so
did MeSsrs. Chittenden, Horn, Perkins
Garmo, Brickner, Wheeler, Lambert
and the chief of the Red Men. Each of
the speakers expressed the hope that the
winter carnival may be made a pelma-
nent feature in st. Paul, and voiced the
belief that the carnival about to open

The next carnival club rally will be
held about Jan. 10, and shortly after

onstrate the fmpossfbiiity OF the ex-
istence Of two paternalistic parties at
the same time.
The year has been remarkable, too,
in the rise and fall of public senti-
ment. for opinion would not express
1T, on the question of metallic coinage.
1t Is difficult to realize now, at the end
Of the year. that only twelve months
have passed since 'Coin" was the most
prominent national figure, and his fall
lacious, mischievous, yet plausible lit
tie volume was the most popular book
of the day. When one recalls the mon
etary history of the country from COL
onial days to the present, the heresies
that have swept over it and run their
course Of speculation and disaster, it
is distinctly a noteworthy feature of
the year that so vigorous and effect
i've a campaign Of education could
have been inaugurated and carried to
success. 1t indicates hopefully the re-
ward that comes to appeals to the
instructed intelligence of the people.
and that the demagogue and vagarist
can be defeated before they have
wrought mischief. Running thus hast
lily over the events of the year that is
gone by, one finds much to relieve that
feeling of pessimism that comes from
too close concentration of thought on
the daily evidences of evil dispositions
and gains faith that the progress of
the race is always upward towards
better conditions.

the treasury to make reserve Of this
destructive fat money, the banks
ought to do whatsthe can to help the
administration out Of its growing per-
plexities. THERE'S no doubt that a
sufficiently large portion of outstand-
ing legal tenders might thus be retired
from active circulation, and held in
the bank vaults, to make the process
of taking gold out of the treasury
much slower one than it is at pres
emit. We hope sincerely that this will
be done.
1t is CURIOUS comment upon the
condition of public feeling and the
honesty of our Legislators that an ap-
peal to assist and to save the country
financially must now be made to those
institutions which have been de-
neunced most vigorously as preying
upon the resources Of the people. Our
representatives have refused to do
their plain duty. 1t remains for the
banks to lend all the aid that they can
to "a government ltruggling with a
false and destructive monetary sys-
tenn, which the Republican party is
engaged in fastening more firmly about
its neck, There is accumulated capital
enough in the United States not only
to absorb its bonded Indebtedness but
to put away, in those stores OF cap
ital that must alyvayS exist as a re-
serve for financial operations, the pa
per money that is dealing death and
destruction to our credit. The employ
ment of very large part Of this cap
itai is directed by the policy of the
banks. 1t is clearly their duty to
leave nothing within their power un-
done to counterfeit the evils Of the
existing situation, which the Repub
lican house is bent upon increasing.

ADMITTING MISTAKES.
England Showing Signs of Weak
ness on the boundary.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Chronicle
says: 1--WE are able to say, on high au-
thority, that Lords Granville and Fitz-
maurice between them had virtually
concluded with Gen. Guzman Blanco,
on behalf of Venezuela, a treaty con-
tanning an arbitration clause covering
amongst other things, the boundary
dispute. Unfortunately, when Lord
Salisbury came into power in 1885, one
of his first acts was to cancel the arbi-
tration clause so far as it covered the
boundary dispute. AS a result of our
inquiries we find that Sir Robert
Schomburg gave no proof Of the exist
ence Of Dutch fort at Point Barri-
ma, upon which the evidence in favor
of the northern portion of the boundary
largely depends.
"On the whole our researches have
convinced us that while there are good
grounds for accepting the extravagant
Venezuelan claims, there exists a de-
batable land towards both the north and
the south of the Schomburg line. This
is virtually admitted by Lord Salisbury
and it will be a grave error should the
public imagine that a rigid insistence
upon the Schomburg line, and the dec
laration that we do not admit arbitra-
ton on one side of the line, constitute
the essence of the English case

LEAGUE AND CLUB.
How the Young Republican TangIe
Comes On

The Young Mems Republican league
is going to hold meeting next. The
members have their programme cut
ana dried. Unless they change. be-
fore the meeting takes place, no posi-
Die reference will be made to the Young
Mems Central Republican club. The
members of the Young Mems Repub-
hcan league have decided that the best
way and the most dignified way for
them to do, now that they have the
earth, as 1T were, is to ignore entirely
the existence of second organization.
Ii the members of the latter want to
join them, individually or in a body,
they are welcome to so, and would
probably be accepted to membership in
the league. Otherwise they are out of
it entirely. That is the plan decided
upon unless some change is worked
that had not been suggested last night
In connection with the expression of
satisfaction which one of the members
of the league uttered to a reporter, and
which appeared, as an interview in thu
G o of yesterday, was @ reference
to Henry Johns appearance at ths
meeting at the Windsor, where the
young man was quoted as saying that
settles 1t as far as the league is con-
cerned, as Johns has hodooed every
political organization he ever had any,
thing to do with" That should not ba
misunderstood as the expression or
sentiment of the Glob e any more
than what Mr.. Campnell said when he
remarked, 1--WE can't lop off our legs
and deform ourselves to fit their Proc
rustean beds" Both were quotations:
one said in public, the other in private.
Mr.. Johns has been a successful polit-
zeal organizer and is known as sue
cessful politician. His record shows
that the young Republican who spoke
was not posted on his subject or he
would not have made the remark he
did.

MORE ROAD FOR BURLEIGH.
But jenkins Refuses to Give Up Nc
Henry and BigeIow.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. There is
little question that the long-deferred
action of Judge Lacombe's court in
New York in reference to the North
ern Pacific receivership will be taken
inside of ten days, when a petition
providing for the appointment as re-
ceivers of Andrew F. Burleigh, E. Nc
Henry, F. G.. Bigelow and Robert NJ
Galloway will be passed upon. 1t will
be preceded, it is said, by the resig-
nations in Montana of Edwin T. Bon
ner and ]. B. Mills, and the extension
of Mr.. BurleigIh's authority as sole re-
ceiver from Seattle to the Eastern
Montana line. Judge Jenkins is re-
ported to have been a stumbling block
in the way of any other arrangement,
as he persists in holding on to both
McHenry and Bigelow and will make
no concessions whatever If the ac-
ton above indicated is taken, it will
result in two distinct systems of rail-
way for the Northern Pacific, operated
harmoniously under a close traffic
agreement.

PASSED upon the garbage contract

iey' whose bid was 81, 725. The board
Oh aldermen, however, refused to con-
cur with the assembly, the resolution
TO award the contract lacking the nee
essary two-thirds vote, Aldermen
Brady, Hare. Lindahl and Montgom-
cry voting in the negative.
This leaves the city without syarb-
age contract, or contractor. The con-
tract of the Capital Car5age company
expired Dec. 81. Cons quently no one
mas gathered any garbage since that
date, and nobody will until the council
realizes the situation by awarding the
contract to somebody.
MIR. Tierney, of the CanitaI Garbaea
company, whose contract expired
tuesday, said that. if the council did
not take prompt action in awarding
the contract for 1896, there would soon
be deposit of dead animals about the
city that would compel summary ac-
ton
AS the situation now stands, the as
seinply has awarded the contract to
Fielding & Shepley, whose bid was
$l4,72o. The resolution would have
passed the board of aldermen but for
one vote. Just before his vote was
called for, Aid. Lindahl arose and said
that the reason why he would not vote
to award to Fielding & Shepley was
that he had not heard the city at
torney state to the council that the
lowest bid of Bircher & Riddeu was
irregular. Thereupon Assistant City
Attorney Phillips repeated his state
ment for the benefit of Aid Lindahl.
that, in the opinion of the law depart
ment of the city the bid of Bircher &
Riddell was irregular.
The resolution, however was not
adopted, and consequently the city has
no garbage contract.

STILL PUSHING WESTWARD.
Insurgents Marching Toward the
Guines Railroad


HAVANA, Jan. 1.-The news received
from the front today tends to confirm
previous deductions made regarding
the movements of the insurgents. It
is admitted once more that the Cubans
are again marching westward With
the intention apparently of pushing for
los Peieu, small town on the railroad
leading to Guines, and we'll westward
of Matanzas and the town of Alfonso
XIII. Paleu is slightly southwark and
little to the west Of Cabezas, the most
westerly point yet reached by the in
surgents, and where they are reported
to have burned the railroad station a
day or SO ago. The Spanish officials
explain this movement westward by
saying that the insurgents intend to re-
turn eastward towards the province of
Santa Clara through the northern part
of the Sagua district. But as this would
be the way of proceeding eastward the
friends Of the insurgents ridicule the
idea and continue insisting that the
forces Of Gomez and Maceo are steadily
pushing westward.

TRULY FRIENDLY THEY.
A Happy Reception by the Young
Women's Friendly Association.

"oehs Friendly Association.
The Young Women's Friendly asso-
cation gave very pleasant New
Years reception yesterday afternoon
from 3 to 8, at their rooms, Jackson
and Seventh. The rooms were pref
tily decorated with Christmas green's
and cut flowers. Receiving were Mrs.
K. M. Newport, Mrs. A. H. Mansen.
MRS. 5. G. Robbins, Mrs. Gen. Brooke.
Mrs. e. G. Gong, Mrs. j. w. Edger-
ton, Mrs. Dennis Follett, Mrs. Theo-
dore Schumacher and the Misses ia
quith Roche, Gable, Kadditz and
Mitchell. A musical programme was
rendered by Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Dorr.
Mrs. Robert Rantoul and Misses Will
son and Jaquith.
Refreshment was served during the
afternoon to a large number of guests.
At the coffee tables were Mrs. Theo-
dore Schurmeier, Mrs. Dennis Follett.
and Miss Jaquith poured tea. In the
room where the children were served
Bishop Gilbert was present and blessed
the food for the little ones. They en-
joyed the reception quite as we'll as the
older guests, and formed the circle of
bright, home-like scene as they gath
cred around the piano and lifted up
their youthful voices in song. Gospel
hymns seemed to be their fayorite.
The Young Women's Friendly asse-
citation has done, and is doing, great
work for many young girls and women
without homes. Here In the rooms of
the Y. w. F. A they find home and
a pleasant boarding place. Many priv
ileges are afforded them. There are
pianos and a reading room for their
amusement, and classes in Bible study,
vocal music, physical culture, short
hand, typewriting, sewing, cooking,
ETC., for their Improvement. The Y
w. F. A. hope some day to make this
self-supporting institution. At pres
ent, the lunch rooms are self-support-
ing, but the other expenses are met by
subscription. Nearly 500 young warIen
visit the rooms every day, and $Su,.ino
the holidays there were u5>wards of
1000 a day. j. M. Lichtep> e,eer work
