HOW OLD IS HE ANYWAY.
John III. O'Brien's Age Causing s
Lot of Trouble.

The assembly committee on police
will hold a meeting this afternoon at
O'Clock. The appointment Of John H.
O'Brien to the police force, which has
been held UP in the assembly, will be
taken up. There appears to be a Ques-
ton as to the age of the newly ap-
pointed patrolman. In the application
on file in the mayors office O'Brien
gives his birthplace as Ireland, and the
date as Nov. 25, 1861. After the point
had been raised that this state Of af-
fairs would prevent O'Brien from be-
ing confirmed, as he was over thirty
five years of age, an affidavit was filed
by O'Brien, stating that he had made
a mistake in filling out his application
and that he was born in Ireland, Nov
25, 1862
The records Of the police department
show that O'Brien, when he was ap-
pointed to the police force by Mayor
O'Brien, in July, 1883, gave his age as
tWenty-siX years. From the records
of the district court it appears that in
June, 1896, O'Brien took out both his
first and second papers and renowned
allegiance to the queen Of England
when he took out his papers was to
the effect that he was born inn 1861
and came to the United States in 1877
and that time was sixteen years of
age.
Owing to the clash Of dates and with
the purpose Of arriving at the correct
solution Of the problem as to how old
O'Brien really is, the committee will
have him before them this afternoon
OBrien is backed for appointment by
ASsemblyman ReardOn.

THE PEOPLES CHARTER.

The wisdom and the necessity of
popular movement in favor of a new
charter will now be apparent to those
who may have been undecided about
it, if any such there be. The assembly
committee on streets, which has been
holding in its pigeonholes for some
weeks an ordinance requesting the dis
trict judges to appoint charter COM
mission, rose yesterday to the level of
incapacity that is so characteristic of
every branch of our present city ad-
ministration. Four members were got
together to discuss this matter, by all
odds the most important, the most vi
tai to our interests, the most far-reach-
ing in consequences that can come be-
fore either branch of the council dur
ing its existence. They talked for some
hours IN their usual STYLE divided ev-
emily on the vote and adjourned. Deaf
to the counsels of the wisest Of their
own party advisers, stolidly indiffer-
ent to the needs of the people, incom-
petent to understand a situation or to
act, they justify the prediction that the
people, bereft of any local government
worthy of the name, must act for them
selves.
Thank heaven, they are acting. They
do not have to wait upon the retreat
for incidents. incapables and incur
ables that is named the council. The
law provides way of rescue, and they
are following it. The new charter will
be had and it will be the peoples work.
1t is the great privilege of the G l o b e
to help along the movement, and never
has it enjoyed better any work than
that of lending it's assistance to our
people in holding their own future and
escaping from the dull inaction of a
set of officials to whom public spirit
is a word written in an unknown
tongue. The petitions circulated by the
O b e have been signed with eager
ness, and hundreds of names are add
ed to them every day. Let our readers
scan the published lists and see how
work when they awake to a sense of
their duty and their responsibility. We
call upon al. those who may thus far
have been neglectful of the work to
join in the last act of this successful
popular movement. Put your names
to the petition before it is complete.
Appear on the roll of honor of those
who will be called the founders Of the
new charter. A peoples charter is as
sured, and you want to have your
share in it. Let us close up the lists
with rush and shout, and move on
to the next step in the process of
charter reform

COMPANY .D.sv BENEFIT.

1t is ten years now since Company D,
of the national guard, went down to
Washington and entered the competi-
tive drill for the prize and, passing in
spection with all the crack companies
Of the Eastern states, came within one
Of taking the first place. Since then
the company has had ten years addi-
tional experience and drill, and it now
militia companies to be held at San
Antonio, Tex, July IA, and bring back
home the $4,000 in gold that is offered
as first prize to the company stand
ing highest in the scale of tests Of ex-
cellence.
Local pride and interest attaches to
everything that bears the local name.
If steamship company names one Of
its steamers after the city, public spirit
rises to the compliment and returns
it with a handsome gift If some one
forms a base ball club no one Of the
nine, possibly, a resident of the city,
and dubs it the ST Paul nine, every
citizen who takes any interest at all
in the national game, and who does
not. scans the reports to see how the
local club Jared in the previous days
contest, and feels elated if st. Paul
is ahead and downcast if beaten.
And here we have a company with a
splendid record, it's members full of
esprit de corps, and every one of them
a loyal st. Paulite, ambitious to meas
ure strength and skill with the finest
companies Of all the states, and he is
a stolid fellow who takes no interest in
their venture. We will all feel a cou-
pie Of inches taller if it comes back
with that prize, the best evidence that
St Paul has the crack company Of the
United States; and the pride will be
better deserved if we have contributed
little to it's victory by attending their
benefit at the Grand opera house Fri
day evening, from the proceeds of
which the boys will defray the expens-
eS Of their Southern trip

that ne has the hearty and enthusiastic
support of Ohio Republicans. No esca-
pades of his own in the line of bad
taste or bad politics have been able to
kill him. No defeats at the polls have
removed him from the list of candi-
dates and managers, He has held his
own against adverse circumstances be-
cause he represented the average of
his party, and commanded more en-
thusiasm from it in Ohio than any
other man. He was too strong before
the people for John Sherman, although
that willy ancient was shrewd enough
to make a good bargain with him. He
was too strong for Mr.. Mckinley him
self at the very time when the wave
of McKinleyism swept over the whole
country. The president was allowed to
have his own state behind him in his
national aspirations, but Mr. Foraker's
friends took charge of its domestic adj
ministration. Now, in a straight and
square fight on point where precedent
and party policy would seem to have
been both in their favor, they are beat
en- by Mr.. Hanna's lieutenants with
ease. 1t will be for Mr.. Foraker to
make terms now, if he looks forward
to a political future.
This is the natural and expected out
come of the forces that dominate on
the Republican side today. The Repub-
lican party is a party Of commercial
ism. 1t has strong and valuable trade
instincts. When these, however, are
put in charge of party policies and
principles and allowed to name their
representatives. queer things happen.
The relation of this administration to
Mr. Hanna and of Mr. Hanna to the
Republican party, and of both to the
system Of high tariff, with it's gigantic
plan of universal bribery, is an object
lesson thai is teaching the people of
this country many things.

WEST SIDE WOMEN ACTIVE.
Meeting of That Branch of the Mon
ument Association

A musical and literary entertain
ment was given yesterday afternoon in
the Clinton NJ. E. church, by the West
Side Monument association. The pres
ident of the st. Paul association was
present, also large number of women
from st. Anthony Park.
The church was decorated with flags
and bunting and a large picture of
Lincoln, on an easel, stood in the mid
die Of the room, draped with flags.
Mrs. G. F. Clifford read a paper on
Personal RecoIlections of the War"
Mrs. Clifford told Of men whom she
knew, enlisting and going to the front
all confident that the North would win
and that they would soon return vic
toriously. But" said Mrs. Clifford
how many were there that never
came back; how many were there that
came back MANNED and disabled and
how few, alas, came back as well and
strong as when they went" Mrs
Clifford spoke at length on the neces-
Sity of hOnoring those who fought so
well to save the flag from disgrace and
Clifford also read an original poem
Our Boys in Blue" written for this
meeting. A rose drill was given by
twelve school girls, and was very well
executed. Mrs. Wood sang "The Roll
Call on High" Mrs. Robb and Miss
McEwen played a duet; Mrs. r. M
Lewis gave a reading, and selections
on the mandolin were played by the
Misses Morgan and jacobson. At the
close of the programme Mrs. Newport
spoke encouragingly of the work of the
monument association, and said she
hoped that all the women of the West
side would feel interested in the work
Of Improvement, which is to be a part
Of the work of the association.

WHO ARE "AMERICANS?.

Who are Americans, anyway? What
is Americanism? The Minneapolis
Tribune notes the opposition of the
New York Times, the Evening Post and
the G 0 b { to Hawaiian annexation,
and sneeringly comments that they "are
always opposed to everything Ameri-
can" That assumes that the annexa-
ton of these islands, with their 1900
Americans by birth or descent, citi-
zens now, however, Of Hawaii, and
their hundred thousand foreigners,
Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and ma
tive Kanakas, is an American" pol
icy. Since when, pray? When did
American statesmen not warn against
such policy? Was Washington not
an American because he warned US
against entangling alliances? Were the
Republicans not Americans who pro-
tested, in the first national convention
of their party, against the Ostend
manifesto, with it's proposition to buy
or take Cuba? Were Sumner and the
Republicans Of the senate, who de-
feated Grants treaty, in 1870, CT an
neXing Santo Domingo, not Ameri-
cans? Or is this talk bout un-Ameri-
canism only the cheap sneer Of little
minds, always ready to be flung at
those who may oppose any scheme or
policy that finds favor with the lingo?
If it be true that opposition to this
and kindred schemes of territorial ex-
pansion, aggravated in this case by the
unblushing stealing on which it is bas-
ed, makes the papers mentioned by the
Tribune not Americans, they have the
assurance that they share opinions
with men whose patriotic services for
their country and jealous care for it's
honor certainly put them outside the
class in which our contemporary feels
the joy of associating with kindred
minds.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-06-24


The fact that complications ex-
listed between Hawaii and Japan was
the solid and sufficient reason why
Secretary Sherman should have insist
ed upon his judgment deliberately
formed and recorded in his "Recollec-
tions." While the secretary has not
succeeded in his long public life in
establishing a reputation for tenacity
of conviction, and has frequently al
lowed party need to bend conviction,
still we recall no instance of vacilla-
ton so pronounced as is this 1t may
be that criticism should soften it's
harshness in this instance; it surely
should, if there is truth in the rumors
that have come from Washington Of
the senility of the secretary. But, if
true, that fact gives a touch Of pathos
to this surrender of his judgment form
ed before the whitening hand Of de-
cay had touched his mental powers.

AT THE THEATERS.

It was a commendable performance of
'"Pygmaion and Galatea" that Robert Down
ing and Eugene Blair and their company
gave at the Metropolitan opera house last
evening. 1t should be said of Miss Blair's
Galatea that she is as, ingenious and delight
fully unconventional creature as one would
expect of young woman born into this
world at her age. The unconscious simplicity
and innocence of Galatea constitute her po-
tent charm, a charm that some opponents
of the satiric Gilbert's creation fail to en-
body, because they betray a consciousness
of the points that punctuate many of
Galateas unique sayings. Miss Blair does not
appear to strive for these points" by i'm
parting undue or too significant stress to
Galateas speeches. Her absolute innocence
and ignorance of the world and it's ways
distinguish Galatea from the other dramatis
personae and create the real interest and
charm of the classic drama In the portrayal
of this innocence, which the author has SO
amusingly blended contrasted with Galatea's
feminine foibles and vanities, Miss Blair
displayed keen discernment and artistic exc
cution of the dramatsts purpose.
Mr.. Downing's Pagmalion was a decided
ly human creation. If the portrayal lacked
elaboration and eoloring at times, it was en-
tirely adequate In the situations calling for
admirable in the eolloquy with Galatea, fol-
lowing her first appearance in the flesh. He
delivered the significant and subtle lines of
the satirist with nice mobilization and telling
emphasis. Mr.. Downing is an excellent reader.
OF the supporting company Miss Katherine
Debarry was conspieuously the most salts
factory, impersonating she did, the char
acter of Daphne, the vulgar wife of the
equally vulgar Chrysos. Her performance
possessed the merit of spontaneity. The Chry-
sos of T. S. James was lamentable. Mr.. James
seemed entirely unadapted to the role and
was completely at Marion Berg was
pleasingg in the role of Myrine, and Miss
Linda Downing acceptable as Cynisca, the
wife of Pygmalion, albeit not always as dis
tinct as could be wished.
'Pygmalion and Gafatea" was preceded by
that exceedingly clever one-act piece by
Charles Dance, Esq. known as French Mar
riage," or 'On Delicate Ground Mr.. Down.
ing's impersonation of Citizen Sangfroid is
an entertaining performance.
