A Truth Experience win Teach,

Steuben County Republican.
There appears to have been a mania for the
last few years among publishers to start daily
papers Almost every town in northern In
diana and southern Michigan, with a popula-
ton of 5000 or more has been blessed (?) with
daily paper, but nearly all suspended after
precarious existence OF few weeks. In
this day and age of the world, daily paper
in a small town or city in any of the Eastern
or Middle States cannot prove paying in
yestment. People who will read dailies at
all, will take those published in the larger
cities, and very few feel equal to paying for a
7X9 sheet simply because it is published in
their own town. The sooner ambitious pub
fishers learn this and then profit sufficiently
by their knowledge to keep out of the field
OF daily journalism the more money they
will have at the end of the year.

The Nebraska law is prohibitory in commu'

Legislature take it for a model.

The Purpose of High License.

I1V-FIF7TVIt
The purpose and effect of high license tax
are the restraint of the liquor traffic and a
consequent Illumination Of the evils flowing
from ito reduce the number Of saloons in
towns and cities, and wipe them out entirely
in villages and country places. The result
of such high tax cannot fail to be largely
prohibitory-more so, perhaps than prohi-
bition itself could be in the present 'condi-
ton of public sentiment To say that this
great good shall not be attained because some
persons chose to believe that taxing an ex
listing and almost uncomfortable evil is
license for the continuance of that evil,
which involves the community receiving the
tax in the guilt of the evil, is impracticable
fanaticisn. All reform is progressive rather
than revolutionary, and every true reformer
will gladly accept half loaf in preference to
going entirely without bread.

Mime. Nilsson and Hone Glenn.

Nine. Nilsson was in magnificent voice,
and she sang marvellously. Her tone is sim
gularly fiery, yet as melting and tender as
the most ethereal flute. She is dramatic
soprano in the largest style yet she can sing
the simplest peoples song so as to enchant
every listener. 1t is not easy to say whether
her voice or her method is the most perfect
In the jewel scene from Gounod's Faust"
she made display of vocal dexterity and of
consummate vocal coloring which one could
remember a lifetime. Each varying shade of
emotion, girlish wonder dawning delight, and
irrepressibe ecstasy came out in the chang
ing timbre of the voice itself, which is a
greater triumph of art than to express it
merely by changes of tempo or quantity
Miss Hope Glenn, the new conner, created
a reputation for herself at once. Her voice
is a charming one, of quite a new species,
and her method is simply perfect, especially
in the treatment of English ballads. Her
power here reaches absolute genius. Let
those benighted teachers and duped pupils
who think that the elocution of singing is a
trivial matter, and that vowels and conso-
nants are only troublesome framework
upon which TO loosely trail their vocalza-
ton, come and hear both Nine. Nilsson and
Miss Glenn. The fact that Miss Glenn, like
Cary, makes her first American reputation
with Nine. Nilsson, compels COMPARISON and
when it is saId that Miss Glenn need not fear
even such iuxtapostion, the whole verdict
is given. 1t has been often asked with a
sigh, shall we have a successor to Cary, now
that she has lapsed, like all woman kind,
into the humdrum monotony of matri
mony?' That question now has an answer.
and the answer is an emphatic affirmative.
Miss Glenn is not new Cary, for her voice
and method both are decidedly unlike those
of Nine. Cary Raymond but she will take
the same place in the hearts of the American
people by her own right.

A Listless and valueless Legislature.

Michigan City Dispatch, lDemJ
The Legislature has been in session about
twenty days, and but little has been accom-
plished. The Democratic party is in the ma
jority, and will be held responsible for all
bad legislation and unnecessary delays. We
trust that the majority will comprehend
the situation and have everything closed up
within the next forty days and thus avoid
an extra session. We not only hope, but
trust, that they will pursue such course.

DIR. Fletoher's Bill in the Senate.

Often a woman to shield her own charac-
ter, will swear that she has been outraged,
and her testimony with certain corrobor-
ating circumstances would frequently be
sufficient to convict an innocent man, or
one guilty of nothing worse than unchastity
and 10 worse than his female companion.
TO infict this punishment i'll such case
would be an outrage almost equal to the one
sought to be punished, and the liability to
this is the CHIEF objection to the law 1t
would be better to make it apply only to the
outrages upon children or very young girls,
cases where there could be very little room
for mistake, then enforce it to the letter, and
there would soon be an abatement of this
hideous and growing crime from which even
the toddling infant is not exempt.

A POSSIBLE GLUE

To the Murder of Richard A. fierce-A
Tramp In Fillmore County Who Evil
IDENTIFY has Crime on His Conscience
The Dead Mans Dog-Rumors of All
Sorts
A week has passed and the mystery that
enshrouds the murder of Richard A. Pierce
is deeper than ever. Not scintilla of evil
dence has been produced, thus far, that
can be construed as shedding ray of
light on the villainy, excepting, indeed, a
circumstance which came to the front
only last night, and which may turn out
to have direct bearing on the murder.
There arrived in this city last night, a
gentleman named Graves, of Fillmore
county, who is stopping at the Windsor
hotel, and who relates story as to the
strange condnct of tramp. About the
middle of last week, he state that's tramp
was arrested in Fillmore county for
drunkenness and locked up over night.
That after his arrest he became infurated
and apparently crazy mad.
During these fits he would cry out, II did
not kill him; it was my partner" This and
similar expressions he repeated quite fire.
quently.
Mr.. Graves states that they had not heard
at tina time cf the murder ofPierce, land that
they would have held him had anything
been known of the affair. It is pity a
short telegram had not been sent to the
country towns the day after the murder.
requesting that all suspicious looking
strangers be lacked up. The above clue
should be worked for all it is worth.
A GLOBE reporter was informed last
night that as nothing had been heard from
the parties with whom young Pierce had
had business, he probably received the
money due him on New Years day, and in
this event he had at least $3.50 on his per
son. Rumors were started yesterday to
the effect that Pierce had been mixed up
in woman scrape, but these reports were
found to be vicious and idle.
circumstance which may be interest
ing is related concerning the young mans
dog, water spaniel, which is said to have
left the family residence the night of the
murder and to have not been seen since.
Friends of the deceased are still actively
at work on the mystery, but up to last
night no definite conclusions had been ar
rived at.
The theory that he was inveigled into a
dive and then killed still obtains to some
extent, but as this clue has been investiga-
ted, it is not considered probable. The
more the case is Investigated the more be-
wildering it becomes, excepting on the
theory that he was attacked on the track.
dragged or pushed TO where the blood and
clothing were found, murdered, and the
body thrown into TIE river. This seems
the most logical theory, all the circum-
stances considered, but after all it is like
the rest, only theory.
