OLD=TIMERS HAVE GONE
TELEGRAPHERs BABE ST. PAUL A
RELUCTANT FAREWELL.


RELUCTANT FAREWELL.
For four days this week St. Paul and
Minneapolis were the hosts of several
hundred guests from all parts of the
United States, who came to meet in an
nual reunion for the twentieth time and
indulge in pleasures which only such &C.
casions can bring. Last night the last of
these welcome guests departed, and the
Twin Cities babe them a reluctant fare
well, for during their stay they formed
many friendships anew and revived those
which in many instances had existed for
many years. 1t was the twentieth annual
reunion of the Old-Time Photographers
association and the United States Tele-
graph corps, which assembled here Tues
day and formally closed their meeting
Thursday night.
Yesterday morning, prior to the disso-
luton Of the large, happy crowd the
lady delegates to the Old-Timers' asso-
citation met and presented Miss Nellie B.
Hope, the chairman of the local ladies'
reception committee, and daughter of the
president of the association, H G. Hope,
with handsome brooch. Miss Hope is
the youngest committee chairman that
has ever held a similar office in the assoc
citation. 2
In recognition sof this fact James B.
Reid, the honored father of the associa
uon, presented her with the key to st.
Paul, and requested that she take it with
her to every future convention which she
may attend. Miss Hope received the hon
ors and gift with BETTING gracefulness
and modesty.
Seldom does any city have the privi-
lege of entertaining company of guSrts
embracing among their number those
whose experiences are more varied and
interesting than the members of these
two organizations Among the number
were many distinguished in various lines
OF business and not a few who have
ach,eved fame In their original profess
sion-telegraphy. A visit to their meet
ings afforded a treat to any one who en-
joyed the privilege
The last of the telegraphers to leave
the city last night were those from New
York, Boston and other Eastern cities.
They departed on7a special Canadian Pa
cine car over the 500 line The car had
been furnished especially for their bene
TT and their travelling was one of the
features Of the entire trip.

STORIES OF THE STREET.

Old-time telegraphers are proverbially
a jolly Set and the recent convention in
this city has served to prove that the
older they grow the merrier they get.
While Quartered at the Ryan the New
York and Boston delegations especially
distinguished themselves in the matter of
playing good-natured practical jokes on
the other veterans OF the key, and their
exploits were among the most thoroughly
enjoyable features of the entire week.
But 1t remained for a local member Of
the committee on entertainment to put up
the king joke of all, the most stupendous
josh of the convention. Coming down
town late on Wednesday evening he
deserted little knot of Bostonians laugh
Ing consumedly over a particularly rich
humorous achievement in which he had
figured as one of the victims. Hastily
forming plan for getting even he sent
in a call for a patrol wagon, and then
Joined the happy crowd. In a few min
utes the wagon dashed up, and in spite
of their heated eXpostula tons six indig-
nant Beaneaters were bundled in and
whisked to the central station, where the
officers in charge were in on the joke in
a second.
They sternly ordered the thoroughly
hot telegraphers to surrender their val
uables, and one of them, genial gentle
man of rotund proportions, is said to have
done so, after a speech in which the law
regarding the. rights of private citizens
was given an explicit and forcible exposf-
ton. Finally the officers and the prime
joker could stand it no longer and ex-
ploded with laughter.
The nettled joshers quickly "tumbled,"
smiled APPRECIATION of the joke and then.

to the exceeding pleasure and profit of
those gentlemen. who are engaged in the
profession of "mixology," as applied to
cooling and refreshing beverages.

MORLEY AND his PARTY.


The condition of British politics at this
time is one which shows with great clear
ness the hold which the imperial policy
has taken on the popular mind. The Lib
eral party is divided on this issue in
such way as to prevent the realiza ton
Of Its full strength in opposition. Lord
Harcourt and John Morley are strenuous
opponents of imperialism. Lord Rose
berry, on the other hand, has shown that
he sustains the government, at least In
theory. in its South African policy, and
is in favor of an extension of the en-
pire along conservative lines. The Tory
and Unionist allies are virtually a sin
gle party, and, representing the govern
ment, they stand backed by the agrees
sive sentiment of the nation
The objection raised in a recent speeca
by Herbert Gladstone that the govern
ment is preparing to appeal to the coun-
try at an ineonvenient time, and thus
seeks to take an unfair advantage of the
opposition, will have but little weight eli.

eminent. With the return of Lord Rob-
erts. which will probably be brought
about at any time, and, if it can be so
managed, will be attended by the largest
possible advantage for the government,
public sentiment in England is likely to
be wrought up to suen a point that
any appeal to the country will be
equivalent to an appeal to the militant
spirit which has prevailed with so much
stress throughout every rank of English
society.
The demoralized condition of the Eng
fish opposition is shown somewhat pa
thetically by the recent statement
of Mr.. Morley that he desires TO sur
render mis- seat in parliament, since
an affection of the throat will probably
operate to keep him in enforced silence.
IT hardly mitigates the seriousness If
the situation for the Liberals when it is
understood that Mr. Morley's constituent
cy has refused to listen TO any overturcs
for his withdrawal. but insists that he
must retain his seat to which they offer
to return him without any effort on his
part whatever.
The loss Of John Morley would be
grievous one to the public of England,
and would be felt in less degree only
by every student of affairs who wishes

A GROUND HOG CASE.

To the Editor of the Globe: Ranged
around upon the green, of IN evening,
was circle of men, a conglomeration OF
nationahties for which our country Is
noted. whose mother language enabled
them to converse in all the languages Of
Europe; but each one was now partak-
ing in game in the language OF our
country, each one giving and taking his
share of the fun In this joviaI circle IL
was the genuine quiz, INTERPRETATIONS
grave and gay with humor and sharp rep
artee BY common consent no question
should be asked that the propounder
could not answer It was q vying for
mastery in ready wit and expression, a
drain on extemporaneous powers of each,
with a general predicament rs the end.
Mike and Nc had the last round The
son of Erin quizzed the circle.
Why" says he, why Is it that tho
ground hog laves 70 dirt at the openin'
whin he's dig his holo?'
Mixes was a sumner and went round
the circle, without a response Mike had
to tell them. why" says he, ''the
ground hog laves no dirt at the openin'
of his hole, because he begins at the
either ind
Nc without thinking and forgetting the
conditions of the game asks how did
he get to the other end?"
Mikes Repartee: That's QUESTION Of
your own aSk1n; answer 1t.
This predicament is identical with that
of McKinley's today. He makes a pite-
GUS appeal to be allowed to get to the
other end and begin. The trusts that cir
cled round him framed his mind they Gre
ated an artificial condition and ne in his
acceptance constructs artificial PhiliD-
pinos to bolster up his case. To expand
his sentences with what Hoar and Mason
and other Republicans have written on
the Imperial issue would make his arti-
fetal constructions dummy indeed. 1t
is no wonder he wants to get to the other
end, but people must remember 1t Is
question of his own making, he was given
free hand. Let the trusts that created
the artificial conditions for him and shap-
ed his official acts on these, continue "a

can not refrain from the conviction that

official acts speak. speak louder than anv

NALISM.
1t l. understood by all true economists
that government paternalism cannot be
extended far in its logical course without
giving rise to numerous complaints, and
if it should become wholly logical 1t
would be useless SO far is beref1ting any
one Is concerned. The true theory OF
protection is that some shall be bene-
flied while the vast majority are not,
and that the latter shall contribute 10
the benefts-of the few.
By tacit understanding between the
chief moguls of protection, certain inter-
ests are privileged ana entitled to as
sistance,e direct or Indirect, at the hands
of congress. The line has been drawn
with more or less care between the
benefciaries and the taxed, and while it
is loudly protested that the farmers are
as much entitled tosbenefits as any other
whenever anything of real value has been
undertaken in their behalf there has
arisen strong objections from those in
terests which consider that they are con-
tributing to the benefit. 1t makes no
difference if the latter are government
beneficiaries In other directions, they are
sure to talk sound economy while fling
their objections to. being forced to con-
tribute any part of the cost of the pa
ternalism enjoyed by other interests.

tion, although it must be said that it
never helped. the farmer any, ana is

Because the government raises seeds at
