A. y. U. VA very satisfactory meeting
of Lee Lodge, 4. Q. u. w. was held Tues
day evening. A letter from Grand Record
or Cole Of Texas relative to the death bene
tit Of thelate L. d. Arceneaux was read. and
since Tuesday telegram has been, received
from supreme Recorder Sackett, at Potts

benefit has not been paid is that proof of
the appointment and qualification of a
guardian for the minor children of MIR.
Arcencaux was not forwarded TO the su-
preme authorities in accordance with tic
requirements of the constitution and laws
OF the order. Thus ii appears that the delay

criticism and uneasiness here, was due to
the oversight of the officers Of tie home

ing already paid twenty assessments during
the cIrreit year, dating from the end of
March last, can only DC called upon Tor four

in November, as has been done in Septem-
Der and October, the annual maximum of
twenty-four will then have been reached,
and subsequent death Losses in this iuris
diction will be met by a call upon the en-
tire membership OF the order throughout
the United States, under the relief law.
During the months of December, January,

THE GLOBE ANNUAL.

On the thirty-first of December the

a Good Move.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-About forty pro-
fessors of modern languages from the
principal institutions of learning in the
country, convened to-day in Columbia col
lege to establish an association to pro-
mote the study of modern languages in
American colleges. President Carter, of
Williams was chosen chairman. A COM
lnittee was appointed to draw up plan
for permanent organization. In the af
ternoon the spirit of the discussion on
resolution was to the effect, that it is the
sense Of the meeting that no college
should grant the decree of B. A.
to studend who could not read with ia
cility French and German.
The resolution WAS finally laid on the table
at the evening session, and the first topic
discussed was the requirements for enter
ing college. Prof. Stager, of st. Louis,
thought German and French should be
taught in the preparatory schools, as they
were much moro useful than Latin and
Greek, as they were the foundation of the
English language. A resolution recoll-
mending that the elements of French or
German should be included in the exam
nations for admission to the colleges was
discussed, among others by Profs. Thomas
and Marsh, of the University of Michigan.

oUR NEW CoSSKAIN.

There were good many people Who
were under the impression that Cox had
been insuIted when appointed chair
man of the naval committee, and many
were the assertions that he would not ac-
capt the position. Indeed there was no
lack OF. kilograms flying about the country,
On Monday, that he had Indignantly re-
fused the profered honor. Later advices
are to the effect that he has resolved to
serve, and determined to make the best of
the situation.
Mr.. Cox, in thus accepting the appoint
ment, has shown that hs
is willing to sink his own
considerations of dignity, his views of
the value of his services, for the
sake of harmony, and the demands
OF party necessities. He was candidate
for speaker; he was named prominently
for tbs craftsmanship of the committee of
foreign relations,Ieither of. which positions
is far more conspicuous and potential
than the one which he has been given. As
speaker of the house, or as chairman of
the foreign committee, he would have been
in place to attract public attention, to
secure brilliant career, and to entertain
almost any hope as to further promotion
He has yielded all these grand possibili-
ties, and quietly submitted to the DEGREES
of party management.
The country will respect him for this
ambition, and this acquiescence in what
eeems to be an annihjlation of his hopes.
He will be thought all the more of by
those who believe that personal aspirations
should give way to the demands OF party
| and, inferentially, the good Of the coun-
Try.

THE CROPS.
Report of the Agricultural Bureau.

Report of the Agricultural Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Prof. j. R.
Dodge, statistician of the agricultural de-
partment, has jass completed his prslim-
mary estimates Of the principal crops for
1888, which will be printed, so the special
for December is delayed for the purpose
It shows that potatoes, all roots and oats
have grown with unusual luxuriance, and
yielded abundantly. OF corn the profes-
sor says the average yield par acre tae
present year is nearly twenty-three bush-
els more, exactly by preliminary estimates,
22.7, which is 2 per cent. less than
the average yield for a series Of years, or
1861, e66, 1856 bushels. This stands for the
quantity of the present crop. The qaal-
ity 10 another consideration. If soft corn
is cribbed in masses and after few weeks,
by mild moist weather, is badly injured or
even spoiled, it docs not change the fact
that corn was grown and harvested. 1t is
doubtless true the quality of corn north of
parallel 40 deg. is worse than for many
years, increasing tho practical amount OF
shortage indicated by nunber Of bushels.
AS whole the corn grown in
1888 in Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Dakota added and half that
grown in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
Nebraska would make 4e0,000.0 900 bushels,
only fourth of the whole crop, so that q
depreciation for eight per cent. in all of 1t
would be equivalent to ten per cent. rsduc-
tion in the value of the entire crop. Our
illinois agents make the quality thirty one
Der cent. less than the average in that
state. An effort will be made later, after
the worse crop has been fed, as to the best

product. Il is not proposed
however, to reduce the produss to The % Vi

of the country. The general use Of seed

Kansas seed in Illinois, has demonstrated
the folly Of attempting the scslimating of
southern maize in the more north

THE C0EORED MANS Discomfort.
The state convention of colorea citizens
held tbs present week at Columbus, Ohio,
was characterized by much vehement and
sentimental defamation. The civil rights
decision of the United States supreme
court was made the text for bitter com
ment, the extravaganza declaration being
made that public sentiment was being
formed against the colored people that
was worse than physical slavery before the
var. OF course none of the speakers or
members of the convention think OF
believe that, and when in further
discussion the Dsnville trouble was cited,
another most absurd line of exaggeration
Was pursued and infamatory language
employed that WAS damaging in the OK
treme. The spirit and temper Of the con-
vention was not calculated to work any
gain to the colored race, north OR south,
and as to the civil rights alleged to have
been Frustrated by the decision of the
court, the colored men should reflect that
the amendment that has been set aside
was framed by pretended friends Of their
| race, the authors we'll knowing that ii
could not stand the test of impartial legal
scrutiny. In their blind conf
dence the oolorsd people were imposed
upon and led to suppose that they were
granted privileges, it was never any part
Of tho intentions Of their decsivers that
they should have. The Columbus conven-
tion was mistake, and its effect can only
be to retara the very cause for which the
actors in that body SO ignorantly and
blindly plead. 80 long as the colored peo-
pie remain the vassals of the Republican
party, the hswsrs of wood and draw era of
water for the politicians of that organi-
cation, they will meet with
disappointment at every hand
In an entirely independent capacity they
cannot become power. and will only add
to their discontens by clinging to such an
utopian theory. The wisest among the
colorsd citizens see and understand thi.
and have determined that their political
vassalags is at end, but they are not OF
those who are holding conventions and
making demonstrations full of sound and
jury, signifying nothing.

SOME of the leaders of the labor organ
izasions have lately discovered, what svory
body of sense has known before, that there
is something insongruoug in high duties
which have the effect to keep out foreign
manufactures, but which admits foreign
labor without any restriction. Hence,
there is latsly-formulated demand that
there shall be duty, OF some other form
of restriction placed on the immigration
to this country of cheap labor. They de-
msnd that if the capitalists is to be pro-
teoted against foreign competition, they,
too, shall have protection against the same
evil. Why not! The laborer has the same
right to protection against outsiders that
has the capitalist; if the one can be sus-
tanned, the other can with precisely the same
line of argument. If therefore, the
protection of manufacturers shall
be insisted on. the protection
of labor follows as a matter of course
and, IL the country shall continue its pres
ent protective course, it must, to be COZ
sistsut, pass additional tariff laws whereby
foreign labor shall be so taxed that its ad-
mis- ZION shall be prohibited. Steel has
naturally no more rights than muscle; if
the one must be protected the other has
just the same right to the same safe
guards. Probably, however, it may be
discovered IN time that both the demands
are simply of the stand and deliver order,
and that the enactment of anything in
