Panic In an Opera House.

CINCINNATI, Feb. ITO night, at the
Grand Opera house, during the performance
"Somnambula'' by the Mapleson Opera
company, decided smell and appearance of
smoke issuing from the closet under the
stairway near the main entrance came near
causing disastrous panic. Campaign and
Marimon, with the chorus, were on the
stage. AS the smoke became distinctly ap-
parent the people in that part of the house,
en- masse, began a hasty exit. The singers
kept their senses and continued with the
opera. Cries of sit down and Kisses, aide
by the energetic action of the ushers and
others, succeeded in staying the frightened
ones. Meantime the smoke, which came
from the furnace, was shut off and the opera
went on, though few left the house.

JUDGE FnANDRAU, Mr.. Washburn's attor-

lican precedents for unseating man who
has 10000 majority, but he don't think they
will take advantage Of the precedent. Prob
ably not. Democrats are not violators OF
law. 1t is because they believe in enforcing
law that we look for the ousting of Wash
burn, owing to his fragrant and unblushing
bribery. He ought to be prosecuted as a
bride giver instead of being allowed to sit

The Inter- Ocean Canal and Nicaragua
Route.
To the Editor of the Globe.
American people will differ from your es
innate of the Monroe doctrine. There is nc
unwritten law of the country for which the
people, without distinction of party, would
| fight sooner. 1t is true, as you say, tha
there is not much danger of European col
onization on this continent, but the reasor
is that an army of million of men woulG
spring into existence to prevent it. Europe
knows it. Did not France invade Mexico
at the first opportunity, and was
not England, like famished wolf, ready to
seize on any territory to be stolen? This is
evidence of their disposition. The Monroe
doctrine, ridicule it as you may, IS the
household faith of the American people.
AS to the relative advantages of the Pana-
ma and Nicaragua routes, it is true that the
distance across the isthmus is less than by
the Nicaragua route, but the cost will be
more. By the Nicaragua much of the cost is
lessened by the use of Lake Nicaragua and
the st. Juan river, both navigable, and which
can be rendered perfectly SO at compare
lively little expense. 1t is the opinion
of the best engineers that locks are neces-
sary for any successful canal, and that tide
water level, as proposed across the isthmus,
would be found impracticable. Besides. it
is the opinion of the most skillful navigators
that, owing to the currents and winds of the
gulf stream and the nature of the entrance
to the proposed Panama canal, sailing yes
sells and much the larger proportion of the
shipping would be unable to enter the canal
at all except when the wind blew in a par
ticular direction. don't propose to argue
this question now.
As to Monsieur De Lesseps, he is backed
up now by that monopoly called the Panama
railroad company who are opposing the
Nicaragua route because they see in its con-
struction their own destruction. sec De
Lesseps has offered $14,00O,0O0; 1 hope he
will buy it, and then the American people
will go on and build their
own canal through Lake Nicaragua, an
American enterprise, under the exclusive
control of the United States, and
then We shall be at last, the rulers
of the sea.

THE FICTITIOUS BUSINESS BOOM.

A true record of Republican rule over the
United States would be full of exposures of
fraud, deceptions and corruption. That
party has made the high courts of the
country partizan instead of judicial. 1t has
seated in the chair of Washington Presi-
dent who was counted in by thieves and
periurers and who has rewarded them with
government Offices. 1t has perverted to its
uses the channels through which accounts
of events and the views of public men are
conveyed to the people. 1t has enacted q
financial policy, miscaled resumption, which
locks up the coin of the country in masses
of hundreds of millions while limiting the
paper currency by tens of millions. There
is faint of fraud upon all
of which it boasts and of
deception in everything to which it lays
claim. Even the business boom-that
avalanche of prosperity over which the Re-
publican party has cackled as though it
would have men believe it laid all the eggs
in everybody's nests and baskets-is likely
because of Republican policies, to prove q
delusion.
For two years it has seemed that the coun-
try was recovering from the staggering blow
of 1873. The railroad builders of the West
resumed prosecution of their great plans,
and gave employment to tens of thousands
OF laborers and mechanics, East as we'll as
West. There was good demand for food
supplies. A new migration set in from
Europe and the East towards the cheap lands
of the West. There was an increasing
ability of the people to buy, an enlarging
number of consumers and greater
demand for machinery and imp!e-
ments of labor. But Republi-
can policies have fastened upon
| industry and enterprise the chains of a new
slavery. The great capitalists, the giant
spectators and the handed miners and
manufacturers, backed by tie policy of
Secretary Sherman and by the currency and
tariff laws, are grasping at the profits of the
so-calIed business boom. Ares dy they have
| weakened the new born spirit of enterprise.
and there is danger of quick recurrence of
the death-like paralysis which prevailed from
! 1873 to 1877.
Iron and steel have been advanced to more
than double the prices of year ago. What
new railroads can be undertaken now? How
many in progress must be suspendedy
Machinery and tools are advancing. Many
of the staples of food and clothing have adj
vanced, until the worker for wages, mo
higher now than three years ago.,
is astonished to find himself in a
time of Wanted prosperity poorer
than ever. The people are not able to buy
high priced goods. Trade 10 beginning to
languish because the prices of the day are
not based on supply and demand. They are
the result of combinations, made possible
and fostered by Republican principles.
The Democratic majority In Congress will
be unfaithful to the people and necglectful
of party opportunities if it does not at once
endeavor to strike down some of the evils
which the Republican party has created. 1t
can do most good in quickest time by reduc-
ing the tariff on iron and steel to a revenue
basis. That alone would save the railroad
builders, and it might be enough to save the
business-boom

THERE is good deal of mystery aho ut
the recent acquisition of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad. There need be
none. The company wanted an outlet from
the Missouri river and the purchase of this
line gave it such an outlet, besides guaran-
teein9 a liberal share of local traffic. The
purchase was simply a business transaction,
and will have no effect upon the business OF
st. Paul in one way or the other.

Heavy Shows Up North-Railroad Trains
Delayed.
A lively snow storm accompanied with
high wind prevailed the entire length of the
Dakota division of the Northern Pacific
yesterday, in consequence of which all
trains were abandoned for the day. There
were four freights between Fargo and Bis
marck at different stations waiting the SUBJ
sidence of the storm. Both passenger and
freights we're running nearly on time on the
Minnesota division, and no serious delay Is
anticipated. The present fall of snow west
of Fargo is said to be the heaviest and the
storm of longer duration than ever before
known. Some trouble has been experienced
on the st. Vincent extension of the st. Paul
& Manitoba road, but all trains, both passen-
ger and freights, were running last night
nearly on time. No trouble is reported by
the other roads.

HOW 1t WUhkS.

If Minnesota should enjoy another Indian
outbreak one of those fine mornings there
would be the usual outcry for their extermi-
nation. Indian outbreaks are generally SO
atrocious as to repel all sympathy at the
time, and the causes of the savage onslaught
are overlooked when their bloody work is
crying for vengeance.
Before anything of the kind again occurs
here it might be we'll to ascertain whether or
not it is possible to hold in check gang of
rapacious white men, who look with envious
ewes upon the small amount of pine which
vet remains to them. Take the case
of the Mile Laos, which has
already been partially ventilated
by the GLOBE. Because they have little
pine great interest is felt in these Indians.
That is. great interest is felt to steal their
possessions. An attempt has been made to
steal $4,000 acres of their pine by laying
soldiers additional homesteads upon it, and
bill is pending in Congress to concentrate
all the Indians at White Earth. For many
years this plan of removal has been favor
tie one with the gang who thrive by plum
dering the Indians, and they will quite likely
continue until success crowns their efforts.
An Indian is especially tenacious of his
home, and is naturally suspicious when at
tempts are made to crowd him
further west to "grow up with
the country" If be goes. it is because
he is forced, and not from choice. Even if
his condition is improved he does not ap-
ureciate il. In the case of the Mills Laos
