THE evangelist, Moody, talked to
the women Of Baltimore recently on
his plan for PeclaiminG men who
have fallen prey to the appetite for
strong drink. He puts it in his
hlunt, fureible style, thus:
cit Is no use to Whitewash men
addicted to strong drink; Fegener-
alton for them Is necessary. Moth
ers are the best people to remedy
this evil. The drunkard should not
be wantonly condemned he should
not be told he Is making a fool of
himself; he knows he is a fool. He
wants some one to lift him up and
sympathize with him and give him
backbone. To the ladies of this
temperance union he gave the ad.
vice to rent q hall or shop on some
thQrQughfare and throw 1t open to
drinking men. If Il Is wanted to
catch fish, the fishermen must go
where there are fish. There let
these godly women plead with
drunkards as they plead with their
sons. They will come i'm if such a
place Is open to them. Some people
say these men will not hold out TN
their professions of reform. That Is
the DEVILS own lie. Some will 20
back, but ia no greater proportion
than sinners OF any other class. "

MIKE HASTE 6LNWLY.

The inquiry is already being made as to
when the Democratic national committee
will meet, end what date they will fix upon
for the convention of the party. Some few
newspapers express impotence to learn all
about the purposes of the party, and con.
denim what they call the sluggish conduct of
the committeeman. To these we would hint
that the day of election is nearly year dis
tant, and that the victory is not always to
those who are first on the track.
The Democratic committee can afford 10
wait. There is no pressing necessity fol
calling the convention. A month after the
date of the Republican convention will be
soon enough. At that time Congress will
have adjourned, and the policy of the party
will have been placed before the people ss
we'll as the representatives of the party in
Congress are able to do so. The people will
have had an opportunity of considering that
policy and expressing themselves as to
whether it is wise or not. The convention,
therefore, will not only have the judgment OF
Congress on questions of national import to
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1879-12-24

govern it, but will have the maturer judg-
ment of tho people. For, be it known, the
people have . clear understanding Of all
questions OF general Importance almost as
soon as their representatives. They read
the measures introduced in Congress and
discuss them. and the average Democrat ar
rives at conclusion as to their advisability
almost as soon as do those who are charged
especially with their consideration. It is
therefore advisable that the conven
ton of the party be postponed until
such time as tho will of Con-
gress as we'll as of the people shall be
heard on all questions of national moment.
Atsuch time We may hope for an express
sion of opinion from the convention that
will be intelligent and comprehensive, en-
bracing not only the theories but the ma
tured thought of the party.
Poor Richard never gave better advice
than when he counseiled people to make
haste slowly. Occasions sometimes arise in
which it is expedient to act promptly, but
no such occasion now exists. The present ia
rather the time for elaboration. No policy
should be espoused, no declaration made,
without full consideration of the matter in
all it's branches. A mistake at this time,
no matter how trivial, may be fatal. The
Democratic party is in critical position,
and can afford to make no mistakes: II
wisdom governs tho central committee the
convention will not be called until after
Congress shall have adjourned and full OK.
preston of the popular will shall have
been attained upon whatever SUBJECTS may
have claimed the attention of that body. Not
until such time can the convention act in
telligently and avoid falling into a pit OF
their own digging.

The Opera House was packed last night
With an audience assembled to witness the
presentation of Romeo and Juliet by the
Emma Abbott Opera company. We pre-
sumo the audience was delighted, because it
is fashionable to be delighted with opera
and the more disgraceful the acting the
greater must be the degree of delight if
you would keep up with the fashion. The
musical critic Of the GLOBE supplies the
comment from the fashionable standpoint,
but the untutored musical savage who does
not possess spark of music in his soul, who
in fact has no soul from an operate stand
point, canno twitness the Abbott Castle rendi
tion of Rome and Juliet without sensation
Of supreme disgust If such enthusiastic love
making was publicly INDUCED in by CON-
pany which was not fashionable, it would be
regarded as indecent and Kissed off the
etage- This is the unfashionable and bar
barous view entertained by this portion OF

a telegram which is characteristic, though
perhaps bogus, states that call is out for
the organization of the Maine veterans to
forcibly resist the legal canvass just com
pleted in that State. The Minneapolis Z'rs-
bune and other disloyal sheets anxiously
howl for little "blood letting" If the Re-
publican gang think this kind of talk has

~ mistaken. AS matter of patriotism
purely, the Democracy lost the Presidency
rather than fight for it, as they
should have done. Emboldened by this
display of patriotism the Republicans, or
some of them, are inclined to crowd matters,
on paper, at least. No one wishes or expects
to see thu peace of the country disturbed, but
il these bloviating idiots think they can
brighten any one by their gasoonade they
are greatly mistaken. Mr.. Tildeh proved
himself far greater patriot than Grant by
refusing to be party to violence, while
Grant was prepared to precipitate conflict
The Republican gang, who stole the Presi
dency, violated all law and decenoy, and
shamelessly purchased the Office.
The Democrats in Maine have acted in
strict conformity with law. They have
taken advantage of technicalities which have
not usually been enforced, and the Republi
Gan papers declare 1t will never do to steal
Nortern State. Why not Northern State
il a Southern one can be stolen? It il
amusing to hear the Blainites vooiferate
not against stealing State, but against
stealing Northern State.
The GLOBE deprecates this sharp practice
by either party, but it justifies Maine as
pure matter of self defence. The Presiden
stealers must be aroused to realizing sense O.
their rascality. A strictly legal way of teach
ing them lesson has been found
and will be adhered to. Til,
Democrats will also elect and IN
aNgur0te tho next President. If q it'll
blood letting becomes necessary to proven
the Presidency from being stolen SECOND

ably be accommodated in that direction. A

Aside from saving the lives of the prisoners,
the efforts of Adams, Hatch and Sohurz have
amounted to nothing. The parties guilty of

A. Lively Snow Storm.

- Minnesota and the country to the north
west, and as far east as Chicago at least, and
south and southwest into Iowa and Nebras-
ka, was visited by one of the heaviest falls
of snow yesterday of the last two winters
The storm commenced early in the day, and
at this writing there are no indications of q
cessation, the deposit at this point amount
ingto between four and five inches on the
level. Fortunately there was but little wind
during the day, but towards nightfall it in
creased perceptibly and by ten O'Clock it had
assumed the proportions of a moderate biz
zard. Trains on the various railroads suf-
fered but little detention from the storm,
but more or less delay will probably occur
to-day, Though as yet the storm has not
reached height to lead to any serious in
terruptions in any direction.

$4,000 STOLEN
At Least That Is What a Man Claims He
Lest at WorrhingtOn.

Lost at Warrington.
News was received at police headquarters,
yesterday Of robbery at Worthington the
night before. The information came in the
form of the following telegram, and Of
course was meagre of detail: r~,'>-
WoRTH1NaroN, Dec. %.
Chief of Police-A heavy robbery of money
committed here. Two men engaged, both me-
dunn sized, wore dark Qvercoats, one had on
cap. We think the caps are black and rough
cloth; one has no whiskers, the other beard
all over face. We think they are on the g.
@. d st. Paul train. The money ia in large
bills. JAKE Town, Sheriff. !.
The GLOBE can supply the particulars
which are not given above. The robbery is
said to have happened in Worthington short
~ after nightfall on the 22d inst, day before
yesterday. A man calling himself Turner.
of Sioux Falls, claimed to be the victim,
and to the prodigious amount of $4,000.
He, states that he was coming out of a
d-n clubhouse belonging to the hotel, when
he was waylaid by two men, answering to
the description given in the telegram. He
was knocked down, =. his person
searched and the money, $4,000,
taken from him lit being
sewed inside thick flannel shirt. Imme-
diately after robbing him the highwaymen
decamped, and Turner, returning to con-
seriousness, made q report Of his loss, first
stating it to be 81, 600, and then, on refec-
ton, estimating the amount at $4,000. e..
The local authorities having learned that
two men answering to the description of
Turner's assailants had taken the St
Paul d Sioux City train, bound East, tele-
graphed along the line for their arrest.
So soon as the telegram was received here,
Detective Bresett was sent to the depot to
await the Sioux City train. Upon arriving
here, the train was switched, but the re-
puted robbers were not aboard. TIE con-
ductor reported, however, that two men re-
sembling those described had boarded his
train at Worthington. One left at Mankato,
and the other got off at the Kasota junction
with the Winona & st. Peter railroad.
Beyond the above meagre facts, nothing else
was learned of the robbery. There are those
used to such kind of work, or ferret1ng out
similar cases, who are disposed to think Tur-
ner's story is diaphanous for such weather as
this, and particularly so when the scene of
the affair is located at SO obscure village as
Worthington, out on the wind free prairies.

pertinent. This has ever been the visionary
bureau of the government. There Seems
nothing real for the head of it to do, and to
be busy he must be imaginative, and idealize
and universalize the principles upon which
agricultural science rests, and create theories
that are marvellous for their absurdity even
it they are of no practical use to tho natioa.
Was there ever farmer who could say with
truthfulness that reports by the national
commissioner of agriculture had been of any
practical beneht to him beyond the brief
utility they afforded as lamplighters or shaw
ing papers; or can any one call to mind an
improved turnip or beet, or any vegetable OF

Some reflections similar to the fore.

been reminded that LIE Duo existed and was
considerable Of nuisance, as commission
ers OF agriculture are very apt to be, the
committee has very naturally asked why he
exists, officially, and has found no satisfac.
tory answer to the question. Consequently,
We are not surprised to learn that the COM
mittee has concluded to recommend, after
the holidays, the virtual abolition of the
Office of commissioner OF agriculture,
and the transfer of all necessary
matters connected Herewith to the
keeping of the Interior Department. This
recommendation should receive the favorable
consideration of Congress, which would thus
represent the sentiment of the country in re-
