PETTIGREW'S PLANT.

The Ex-Delegate from Dakota GrumbIes
Because of the Failure of Congress to
Admit the Territory as q State.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, March 23.--Ex-Delegate to Con
gress R. F. Pettigrew, of Dakota, who has
been in the city for the last two days, was
yesterday seen by GLOBE representative
at the Grand Pacific, and questioned with
reference to the prospects of the territory
and the possibilities of its be-
ing admitted into the union of the
states. Unfortunately" said he, ''the
people have no power to divide the terri
tory, much as they would like to. They
are unanimous in their desire to be ad-
mitted as state. We were debarred from
becoming state by a Democratic con-
gress, and Republican congress barred
us out by adopting the rules
of the Democratic congress,
which only allowed bill to be called up
in the house upon two-thirds vote. This
we could never get, so the bill for the ad-
mission of Dakota as state has laid dor
mant for nearly four years. We want the
southern half admitted as a state and the
northern half created into territory. We
will now not be admitted until after the
next presidential election"

EIGHTY dollars a month was paid a
young man who has been living at the rate
of two thousand or more year, as he him
ference between his income and his spend
ings was taken from funds belonging to
his employers, to which he had access,
amounting in couple of years to $4,000.
The young man occupied a position
wherein trust was reposed in him. He lis
tened to temptation, and what he has suf-
fered in mental distress and will continue
to suffer, he must now regard as poor
compensation for the feeting pleasures
he purchased. Strangely enough
there are those who justify the defaulter
and seemingly hold the employers to re-
sponsibility for the wrong doing of their
employe, because of the amount of the wages
paid. The moral susceptibilities of those
adopting this view must be obtuse indeed.
They say in effect that the wages of the
young man at $50 week made him dis
honest, when if he had had more pay he
would have been honest. An individual
who accepts trust at $40 week and
turns out to be dishonest, would at a sal
airy of 500 week, or any other snm have
turned out the same way, and possibly
might have taken more. It is principle
and not the amount of salary that de-
termines mans honesty. It is pitifuI to
find dishonesty in those we
respect and trast, but if it has
come to pass that employees can only
be honest when paid overgrown salaries,
this is as good time as any to find that
out. The worst enemy the unfortunate
employe who has betrayed his trust, can
meet with is the false and unsafe friend
who charges the robbery to the account of
the salary paid. A young man, without
family cares, meets with hail fellows, trys
hand at fast life, and all that that i'm
plies; he slips and eventually is lost. Those
who justify him in his course, Justify him
in betraying his trust. applaud dishonesty,
encouraging crime, dissipation and false
living. They are whited sepulchres, a
snare to the young and the innocent, hurt
full to all with whom they come in contact.
Honesty is the best policy, and $40 week
need not make a man steal for living.

congress who shall solicit the appointment
of any persons to Office or in any way en-
deavor to influence the appointing power.
That this has been disregarded openly is
notorious, for almost every removal and
appointment made thus far bears evidence
of the interference of some of the mem
bers of congress newly elected. This is
strikingly apparent in the re-
moval of Soren Listoe and the
appointment of George w. Boying-
ton in his stead. Listoe was an efficient
officer, against whom no charges had been
preferred, save that he refused to support
the boiling but successful candidate for
congress last fall. Mr.. Nelson made
brief visit to Washington two weeks
since, and the result is the appointment of
one of his faithful henchmen to one of the
best offices in the district. A civil service
law which will admit of such transaction
is manifestly gigantic humbug, and is
certainly disgrace to the body that enact
ed it.
The causes that led to the passage of
the civil service bill are well understood
by all intelligent men. The abuses of
our system had become so great that the
people and the press with one voice de-
manded reform. The party in power
refused to grant relief, whereupon the peo-
pie arose, and at the election last fall ex-
pressed their disapproval of the course
pursued by retiring to private life large
majority of those who had misrepresented
them in the house. Then there was an
awakening-what at first looked like a
deathbed repentance, and all haste was
made to consider the needs of the service.
But it soon became evident that there was
no honest desire to benefit the service,
but that the scheme was a DELHI
crate attempt to deceive the people
into belief that the men and the party
that had just been repudiated at the polls
were in reality worthy patriots and sim
cerely DESTROYS of reforming the govern
ment. The product of their effort is a
wonderfully inconsistent act, which keeps
IN office all the barnacles who have brought
disgrace upon the service and keeps out ali
new blood that would be likely to inspire
efficiency. Its penalties for the soIicita-
ton of Office are so prescribed as to inspire
no terror in the breasts of any of the pro-
fessional office getters, as is shown by the
impunity with which they violate the law.
1t is certain that the people need expect no
relief from the operations of the new law,
inspired as it was by fear, doctored by
trickery, and set at naught almost as soon
as it has nominally gone into force and
effect.

BALTIMORE, March 23.-Miss Jennie Hell

to have been married last spring to Mr.

TIE DECAY OE LENT.

If any opinion is to be formed by the
reading of New York city papers, it must
be that Lent has fallen into sad disrepute
in that city, among those who held the
position of fashionable church people. 1t
may be supposed that the more snowy and
glddy forms of amusement are dispensed
with, but for all that, for forty days more
"quiet" line of pleasures have sway. The
word ''quiet' plays peculiar and fantas-
tic part in the Lenten observance.
AS for instance in the society
columns of the daily papers one
eharmingly described religious readings"
followed by quiet" "dance, at which two
hundred couple were presents" sewing cir
cles, supplemented by ''quiet" theatricals;
"quiet'' dinners, quite as elaborate and
costly as at any season; ''quiet" theater
parties, garniShed with ''quiet'' suppers at
Delmonico's, etc. The caption over the
society notes in one Of the papers last
Sunday was suggestive of the spirit of the
times. 'Mid-Lent cheerfully passed. 1t
said. Formerly the festivity which
characteristics this day or two in Roman
Catholic countries was disdained by the
devout Episcopalians,bu but now they eagerly
embrace it.
Quite conspicuous, too, is the eager anti
cipation of pleasures to be INDUCED when
the forty days fast is over. What impress
sions of willing, joyful religious endurance
and Christian resignation all these things
indicate. How symbolic of hopeful in =
crease of spiritual life. Can those careless
and Indifferent to religion find any reason
why they should relinquish the world and
enlist under the banner of the church.
Is there not opportunity for
those SO inclined to jeer and scoff, with
none who have the right to rebuke, or any
to point to the better way of life and purer
state of mind, by either precept or exam
pie. Worldliness and love for the pomp
and vanities of pleasure have crept in and
corroded those whose walk ought to be
consistent with their professions. If the
observance of Lent is not to pass wholly to
decay, once earnest, faithful pulpit must
be revived and the church led back to the
observance of the season that should be
and is so sweet and precious to the chas-
tened and purified Christian heart

HEAVY DEFALCATI0N.

A Clerk Absorbs $50, 900 Interest Money,
and After Escaping Confesses the
Theft.
New YORK, March 23.-The officers of
the Equitable Trust company, No. Is Ex-
change place, have discovered that a clerk
named J. B. Marston, formerly in their
employ, was defauIter to the amount of
$4,000, taken during the last four years.
He resigned the LIST of February to take,
effect the 1st of March, but left the office
several weeks ago, and has not been seen
there since:
The first intimation received by the
company that anything was wrong was
a note from Marston confessing his
guilt. The examination of the books con-
cerned showed the extent and the manner
of the frauds. Marston was interest
clerk" and his duties being to receive all
the interest from money loaned by the
company and place it in the bank When
the interest drafts were received in the
office the proper receipts were mailed and
the drafts given to Marston to put in the.
bank. In case the drafts were upon pri-
vate bankers, it was Marston's Gus
tom to get the money for them
and pocket it, taking out the amount in
proportion to the days receipts. Some
times he took as much as $1,000 at time.
He had control of the books containing
the lists of checks and drafts, and managed
to conceal his embeZzlements until. finding
discovery inevitable, he ran away,
The company has submitted the case to
the district attorney, and it is supposed
Marston will be indicted and arrested as
soon as he can be caught Marston en-
tered the Equitable Trust company's en-
ploy in 1873, when boy of fifteen, rising
step by step. He was not known to live
extravagantly, and the fact that he kept
several horses and carriages at his place in
Plainfeld, NJ, was accounted for upon
the score of private means.
The officers of the company are unable,
so far, to find where the stolen money is or
went to. Restitution of small part of
the money has been made and
from defaulter's property at Plainfeld
few thousand dollars will be realized.
The company does not know where Mars
ton is at present. He is a married man
with family. The Equitable Trustee
pany Is wealthy corporation, having a.
capital of $1,50O,000 and loaning money
upon mortgages chiefly in the West. The.
loss will lot affect the c0mpany's standing
in the least.
1t is stated tonight that the resignation
of Marston was asked and rendered some
time ago. He then in company with
another man opened brokers' Office, but
as neither had seat in the stock exchange,
their business did not amount to much.

Now the people of Hot Springs, in Ar
kansas, have gone and sued country edi-
tor for more money than he probably
knows what to do with, as is so often the
case with these gentlemen, because be-
tween the twitches of his rheumatism or
groanings of dyspeptic stomach and his
hot douches, he has written home some
correspondence to fill up his journal, also
suffering from his absence, which don't
suit the medicinal water magnates who in
the end are sure to drain his finances down
to toothpick and a fine tooth comb.
Moral: Editors have no business at hot
springs, and if they cannot keep things
hot enough at shome without going away
for heat in either an atmospheric or liqui-
fed state, they deserve publication by law
for the offense.
