THE POPE AYD THE KING.

The cable says that Pope Leo has per-
united the Italian bishops to receive an exc
quatnr from the King. This has been inter-
preted to mean tacit acceptance by the
PontiH of the loss of temporal power. We
doubt this exceedingly. 1t may be a sub
mission, but hardly an acceptance. One
may submit by compulslon to loss; accept
ing it is quite a different thing. With
the history of the Catholic church before us,
it is difficult to see how Pope Leo, as matter
of principle, could surrender the title Of the
church to what has been known as the Church
States in Italy.
We do not profess to be very familiar,
however, with such matters, and must refer
the subject to future developments, and to
Bishop Ireland, who is deeply learned in all
things ecclesiastic.

Whdt the Military Establishment in Ne,c
Yor; Costs.
Washington Special Chicago Times.
Col. Easton, post quartermaster at New
York city, was before the House military COM
mitteo on yesterday, and rendered an ac-
count of the cost of maintaining the small
army of officers in that city. The first item
Of expense is for rent for Gen. Hancock IS
headquarters, $25,00O per year, to be re-
duced to $4,000 from next May. The rent
of stable for five government horses and
officers was $4,000 year. The medical
examining board are put in house that
costs $3.50 per year, much less than the
stable. Including General Hancock,
there are sixty officers
stationed in New York city. This number
comprises fifteen colonies, six lieutenant
colonies, twelve majors, fourteen captains,
and twelve ieutenants. All these OIL
GERS draw their regular allowance for quar-
ters and fuel, and forage besides, but COM
paratively few have horses. The contract
price paid for fuel was $lO.5O per cord, for
kindl4ng, $3.50 per cord for hard wood, and
$3.50 per ton for coal. The contract price
rid for forage was 1885 per ton; for
81 dW, &-A ptI LOu, dllu IOr oats,
,5 cents per bushel of 32 pounds. General
Hancock drew last year 21,900 pounds of
oats, 29,55O pounds of hay, and 5000 pounds
of straw. Each officer below Gen. Hancock in
r.nk drew $3.50 pounds of oats, 1880
pounds of hay and 1000 pounds of straw.
1acn colonel drew cords of kindling and
onel, cords Of kindling, and 81 1896 pounds
of coal; each captain, S cords of kindling,
and $4,000 pounds of coal, and each ieuten-
ant 8 cords of kinding and $4,000 pounds
of coal. Gen. Hancock drew 8 cords of
kindling and 1886 pounds of coal. The
report of the post quartermastera at Washing
year for officers here as follows Quarters
S66, 1850; fuel $28,653.67: forage,
$3.50, 1868. Gen. Sherman drew 1857 &c
worth of forage, and $55912
worth of fuel. portion of his
forage was delivered to John Sherman. The
complete report of the depot quartermaster
here shows that Gen. Sherman's excess of
forage went to John Sherman. Officers in
Washington drew fuel and forage according
to their grades, as follows: Gen. Sherman
1o4,32O pounds of coal, 26,2sO pounds 81
oats, 3O,660 pounds of hay, and 7 200 pounds
of straw. Other officers in Washington got
on an average about $3.50 worth of fuel and
about $40O worth of forage. Gen. Alvoro
and Gen. Meigs and about dozen officers
of lower grades declined to draw
forage on the ground that they were
not entitled to it. Many officers, as the
quartermaster's report shows, had the forage
they drew delivered to liverymen in the city
who paid them for it either in cash or car
riage hire.
The law regulating the issuance of forage
is found in section 1872 of the revised stat.
utes, which reads Forage shall be allowed
to officers only for horses authorized by law
and actually kept by them in service, wher
on duty, and at the place where they are or
duty Perhaps not one in three of the
officers in Washington is entitled to forage
under this law, but it has become the custom
to violate it, and the military committee pro
pose to stop this.

The argument for immortality-for all we
want is Immortality, is unattaining; it falls
far short of the questions to which we long
who thinks amid his trust, and yet knows
that he is happy and truthful amid his
thinking, comes probably to two con-
victions as his final statements. This
for one, that all of me there is,
has ever been, and all will ever be, each atom
and each impulse of me- And this, again,
one feels sure of, with mighty sureness, that
the facts about that unknown future, what
ever they may be, lie within the eternal l
goodness, and must be therefore really bet
ter far than my best hope about them-that
trust is goodness, and the mystery of the
resurrection at my birth SO strange, SO un-
remembered, limiting at SO much life un-
known behind, blend into kind of Gods
affidavit that need not fear about the resur-
rection to come.
Thank God then, friends, for the resur-
rection-thought, which the spring month
brings with it. We die to live again. We
die that we may live again. Nothing is quick
ened save it die. Mortality is the
condition of Immortality. What echoes we
have wakened by this truth. The opening
spring will print it oft on every hillside in
Illuminated text of leaf and flower. The
suns in the heavens are blazing it, and the
nations in their history repeat it. The sin
experience, in which we first find God, re-
veals 1t. The passing moment of each
mans life is ringing gladly with it. Our
friends memory recalls it. The life within
us flashes it far backward through the past,
far forward through the future. Our word
resurrection seems to concentrate the history
of the universe to whisper the secret of the
life OF M n and God.
And We think of all these things; these
words l read you awhile ago fill and throb
with tneir tides of meaning:
Praise ye the Lord all things that die.
Ye die that ye may live again.
Praise ye Him, sun and moon, that yet
shall fade.
Praise Him all ye stars of light, whose
light shall yet be quenched.
Praise the Lord, 0, earth, SO full of chang
ing deaths. Praise Him fire and hail, snow
and vapors and stormy winds-each vanish
ing as ye fulfill His word
ye yet shall melt.
Praise Him beasts and all BIRDS
Praise Him young men and maidens, ole
men and children. Let everything that hatl
the breath of life praise the Lord, for al
shall die in order that all may live again.
Praise ye the Lord.

EIGHT YEARS. EXTENSION TO NORTH
ERN PlCIEIC.

We announce, with sincere pleasure, the
welcome news of the extension of the time
to build the Northern Pacific railroad for
eight years. All hostile demands having
been amicably settled, the Senate committee
has made unanimous report in favor of the
extension. So tho matter may be
regarded as settled and the increasing popu-
lation, SO much interested in this national
enterprise, may now dismiss all anxiety as to
it's successful completion.
The Northern Pacific has had to contend
with unusual difficulties, and no company
ever deserved more favorable consideration
of Congress. It is true that the road re-
ceived and owns an empire of
the finest lands in the country,
but, unlike the Central and Union Pacific,
never received dollar of subsidy from the
government. It has been built, so far,
through the untiring energy of the officers
and directors. In 1878, just as the road was
moving Oh in its most prosperous career, the
financial crisis prostrated everything, tied
the hands Of tie founders and builders
and threw bonds, securities and
lands on the market at a terrible
discount. The disaster was a severe blow
TO Minnesota, but the road has struggled.
and is again entering upon prosperous
career. The lands are rapidly coming into
Market the demand increasing, population
pouring along the line, the Black Hills
region being settled, and the tide of people
moving on to the Pacific in advance of
steam.
In a year OF two the hidden recesses of the
Big Horn mountains will yield their wealth
to hardy miners and settlers, and the Cana
dian Pacific reach Manitoba on its way to
the ocean. Every point is already feeling
tho rcviving effect from trade and immigra-
ton, and in the next year we shall have en-
tered another decade of unexampled prosper
ity.
It behooves the people of Minnesota and
Dakota. and of the whole Northwest and
West, to lend a helping hand, and to aid by,
all proper means, in the building of this
line of Interstate commerce, destined to
Join Asia and the Atlantic by the most di-
rect and shortest route,

MOl,e Details.

n. Y. Special to Cincinnati Enquirer
There is another big scandal in high So
ciety. Richard Shaw, of Fifth avenue, at
tempted suicide early yesterday morning at
dsreputable house, up town, kept by Mrs.
Carrie Wilbour. Shaw is a young man,
about twenty two, under the medium height,
and of Slight build. A fast life has affected
his health and left its traces on his counte-
nance. When Shaw was taken before the
judge, his head was 50 bandaged as to cover
and conceal the ugly wound on his forehead.
The officer said that early Tuesday morning
he was called and found Shaw lying on the
floor, the blood from his forehead had fallen
in pool on the carpet, and by his side was
small Smith Il Wesson revolver. The in
mates of the house were very much excited
over the occurrence. Justice Kilbreth asked
Shaw if he had any thing to say. The
young man replied that he had attempted to
take his own life, and would yet commit
suicide. He was intrusted to the care of his
friends at his mothers solicitation.
Shaw is the son of wealthy Fifth avenue
widow, who spoiled him. He was given
every educational advantage, and when fifteen
years old was sent to Europe, where he
travelled extensively. Upon mis- return to
this country he visited every city of impor-
tance and every accessible place in the United
States. For the last four years he had been
very dissipated, but his father, whose fortune
was a million, had left it in such shape as
to yield Shaw large income without impair
ment of the principal.
Llbbie Osborne, the young woman con-
cerned, is said to be the daughter of planter
of Savannah, Ca She is tall and fair
skinned, of slender figure, with clear, blue
ey es, and auburn hair. Three years ago she
graduated at Vassar college, and returned to
her parents in Georgia. After her gradua-
ton she vas married, but was divorced,
eloped with a lover to this city, and being, of
course, deserted by him after a period, en-
tered upon life of shame, and finally en-
tered Mrs. Wilbour's establishment. where
Shaw met her and lost his head on her ac-
count. He even went SO far as to propose
marriage to her, ut she declined. About
two weeks ago Shaw thought he had cause
for jealousy, and there was a scene.
Last Wednesday he again visited
the woman, remaining until Satur-
day, and Monday night he re-
turned at a late hour, partially intoxicated.
He intimated that his jealousy would drive
him to suicide. and about 1870 A. FL. he drew
and discharged revolver, making an ugly
wound.
Libbie Osborn to-day was nervous and ex-
cited, and would talk little of the affair.
She said Shaw never came there sober, but
while she often lost his feet, he never lost
his head" She did not believe he really in
tended suicide, but drew the revolver to draw
her sympathy. His wound, she attributed
to the unsteadiness of his hand from the
effects of wine. Shaw was prominent in
society circles, and there is consequently
much excitement over his case.

The Outrageous Eleetio,, Lac.
Red Wing Argus.

A law was passed during the closing hours
of the late Legislature providing for the reg
istration of voters in all incorporated cities of
TINS State having over twelve thousand in
habitants, which will prevent the secrecy of
the ballot So far it only affects the cities of
st. Paul and Minneapolis, but the principle
IS wrong, and no class of people ought to be
subject to the espionage that is possible un-
der this law. The main feature of the law
is that when a ballot is offered by voter.
one of the judges shall lay the same on the
top of the ballot box, call out the name of
tae voter, and after marking on the ballot
the number opposite the name of the voter,
deposit it in the box.

Der over the parlor. The girl whom he called
by name sat a few moments in the parlor
after he went up stairs. Then she excused
herself. Before she was half way up stairs a
pistol shot and sound as of falling body
were heard. The shot was heard in the par
lor. The girl who was at the piano stopped
playing, and the other two seemed terrified
The men who were there left their half full

she mounted The stairs, she saw-as the

THE self-styled "Honest Money fellows

Collector of the Port in that city. They
were mere handful, meeting in. a hotel par
lor, and aside from VIM. Henry Smith, no

in the matter. Smith prepared the ad-
dress, and Smith being general agent
of the associated press, sent his
political swash broadcast over the country.
Of course Smith must stand by the deserted
Hayes, because Smith is an Ohio man and is
holding lucrative Office in Chicago by the
favor of Hayes who is also, if we remember

To the Editor of The GLOBE.
I do not like to bother you, but our school
board and people in the district are in some
thing like Fletcher's condition in Manitoba,
only with US it is on the school book ques-
ton.
Our trouble is this: In section 10 of the
text book law it says that s:within one year
after the State text books are printed and
furnished to the State superintendent of
public instruction, and for the period of
fifteen years thereafter, no text books shall
be used in the public schools of this State
other than the State text books prepared un-
der the provisions of this act.''
The law does not provide for the primer,
none has been adopted, or belongs to the
series, and we are prohibited from using
any other. The question with us is, what
are we to do? We cannot teach the rudi-
ments without one, and we are prohibited by
law from using anything but what is given
us. After children are five years old they
are entitled to attend school, but of what
avail is it if they are debarred from any ad-
vantage that may give them unless they can
read in the first reader.
Please, Mr.. Editor, advise us what to do,
and deserve the everlasting gratitude of an
ignorant but we'll meaning community.
