A FEW months ago the Express treated the

rival to that paper, either in the way of news
or circulation. But of late it has become
quite touchy on the subject Of circulation and
challenges a showdown. The bona fide city
circulation Of the LIGHT is almost double that
Of the Express-in fact, it is more than that of
all the city daily papers combined. The time
has passed when paper has nothing par
ticular to recommend it but size, can frown
down a smaller contemporary by that cause. 1t
is business that counts, and the LIGHT has not
only got the business, but it has the readers to
justify it, and the public generally are aware
of it. We know, and the Express knows,
that it would never allow the merest mention
OF the LIGHT in its columns if it did not fully
realize this fact.

Hn,r Some Girls Smoke.

Hudson IN. " letter: Items are going
the rounds of the press of this neighbor-
hood to the effert that the girls of this city
smoke cigarettes. We will not attempt to
say whether the practice is quite general
or not, but we certainly know of a few
girls that do. Real nice, sweet-looking
girls, too. Where do they get them? They
are never seen to buy them. It is said they
are comfortably supplied with Gig
arettes by their gentleman friends,
who are in the secret. There are
not a few charming ladies, members of
leading social circles, who smoke their IA
vorite brands after dinner and consider it
a deprivation to forego the luxury. My
lady goes up to her room, locks the door,
dons her pretty smoking habit, and has a
perfectly blissful smoke. After this comes
a nap,which gives her eyes dreamy heavi-
ness and her carriage all the languishment
so desirable in modern belle. It is ru-
mored often that the strolls which are
taken for autumn leaves are but the oppor-
tunity for an enjoyable smoke with her
girl friends.

A Small Freight War.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 1.-THE cut in rates
between Elgin and Chicago and Elgin and
Milwaukee made by the Chicago & North
western company, two weeks ago, was
passed unnoticed by the st. Paul officials
until yesterday, when an order was issued
by W. G. Swan, superintendent of freight
traffic, to meet the cut with corresp ohding
reduction. This places the rate betwee n
Elgin and this city and Elgin and Chicago
at five cents per 100 pounds. 1t is claimed
that the first reduction by the North
western was made in order to secure fair
division of business. This company also
threatens to make another reduc-
ton, which will Immediately be
followed by the st. Paul, as the
order to the agent at Elgin instructs that
official to meet all cuts by the Chicago &
Northwestern with a corresponding reduc-
ton. 1t is asserted by railway men that
the Chicago & Northwestern have for some
time practiced system of petty reduc-
tons in freight and special passenger rates
between various western and northwestern
points and Chicago and Milwaukee in or
der to compete successfully with the St.
Paul company. The probabilities are that
this will result in rate war of some mag
nitude between these lines as regards the
northwestern business.

Isl I.o11is Glnhe- Dam ocrat.

The scandal gulch is about worked out
be time for her to be robbed of $4,000
worth of diamonds. We want to help the
old lady all we can, but we insist on lit
tie variety in the form of the advertise
ment. A schedule of this kind would do:
1. Robbed of $4,000 worth of diamonds,
one of them priceless family heirloom,
and another the gift of the Prince of Wales.
Good for three days by Associated Press.
2. Diamonds recovered, and honesty in
a chambermaid richly rewarded. Detailed
interview expressing Joy over the recov-
cry. Good for two days by associated
press.
3. Narrow escape from death on the
rail. detailed in half column, winding up
with the ,explanati on that the great actress
owes her life to the trifing circumstance
that the tram didn't run off the track, ard
there was no collision. Good for two or
three columns of special dispatches.)
4. Great presence of mind in the mid
die of a performance in preventing pan
ic, which would have been occasioned if a
small boy had let lamp fall in the scene
room. Good for specials to all metropol-
itan journals for three days.
These are few of the things which
might take the place of Freddie Gebhardt
and Mrs. Labouchere. When they are ex-
hausted we can furnish some more. We
cannot help remarking that Mrs. Langtry's
diamonds have remained unstolen quite
too long for frst-class star. but we pre-
sumo it is entirely owing to pressure of
Freddie and Mrs. Labouchere.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Gen. Canedo, one
of the commissioners appointed by Mex
leo to negotiate commercial treaty with
the United, States has arrived. Canedo and
Romero this afternoon paid their respects
missioner. The formal meeting of the
commission will be held tomorrow.
The managers of the Holland Interna-
tional exhibition hope congress may be in
duced to appropriate 100000 to provide
suitable representation of American in
dustry and products. This is only half the
sum voted the Vienna exhibition, while the
trade of the United States with the Neither
lands in 1881 was more than eight times
as large as with Austria. 1t has increased
three-fold the past six years. AS showing
the importance the government of the
Netherlands attaches to trade with the
United States, Commissioner Wheelwright
cites the fact that it appropriated $4,000
to enable its subjects to make tbs exhibit
which they sent to Philade lphia in 1876.
It is expected that about thirty members
of the National Republican committee
will be present at the meeting Wednesday,
to settle the question of representation on
the district plan, in accordance with the
esolutioD Of the national convention of
1880. Se> eral elaborate methods will be
laid before the committee. The matter of
proxies was mentioned to prominent
member of the committee. He said he be-
leved there was a rule that the holder of
proxy must hail from the state from which
it was given. This will be enforced as far
as practicable. In the case of the ter
ritOries it will not be enforced
tits understood that three plans of repre-
sentation will be submitted to the COM
mittee, viz: Chandler's, for four delegates
at large for every state, two district, and
three delegates for every Republican
senator and representative, making total
of 1906; Forbes, for delegates at large for
each state, one delegate for each district,
and one for every Republican senator and
representative, a total of GIL; and Martins
for four delegates at large for each state,
one delegate for each district, one for
every $4,000 Republican votes, or major
fraction thereof, total of S67 on the basis
of the last election.

A Ssslpkur Nine .

A purchaser of land in California always
stands chance of finding it turn out to
be gold-bearing. or to possess stores of
quicksilver, copper, or other hidden min
eral wealth. One of these surprises has
befallen DIR, E. T. Brunette, of Oakland,
who bought hill near Los Gatos, about
sixty miles below San Francisco, for use as
a pasture ground. 1t was necessary to
dig, in order to deepen well, and large
number of blocks that looked like ordinary
stones were taken out and thrown on one
side in heaps. Some of these stones, being
afterward used to build fire upon for
cooking purposes, we're found to be highly
combustible, burning rapidly with blush
flame. Further examination showed that
they were simply solid blocks of sulphur,
and that the whole hill is substantially an
immense mass of this mineral. With sui
phur selling at $40 ton, Mr.. Burnette's
purchase has turned out to be a greater
mass of treasure than many gold mines.

Judas and High License Discussed on Dr.
SdtterIee.

in dos and High License Discussed or DR..
SatterIee.
Harrison Hall was filed to overlooking
Yesterday Afternoon by the Minneapolis
prohibitionists. Chaplain Satterlee COM
menced his address by reading from the
twenty seventh chapter of the gospel OF
ST. Mathew and took Judas as the
topic of his discourse, going over the his
tory of the betrayal, and the traitors SUD-
sequent acts and tragic death.
He continued 'Let US see If we cannot
find some modern Judases. Take, for in
stance. our government, that accepts blood
money from the saloon-keepers In e1-
change for the right to poison men and
ruin innocent women; for every dollar of
the saloon-keepers' money is the price OF
some crime or bloody brawl. The Jewish
Sanhedrim who conspired to cruelty the
Savior of the world had too much
honor to put the thirty pieces OF
silver into their treasury when Judas
brought them back and threw them at
their feet. and so they took the money and
bought a potter's field with it. But our city
Government takes the blood money offered
by the saloon keepers and put 1t into the
CITY treasury, and is glad to get it. They
talk about raising this blood money from
500 Der saloon to 81, 900 as if it were not
lust ten times as bad to let a man sell poi
son for 81 600, as. it is to let him sell 1t for
500. They say that high license would
decrease the number of saloons,
and if 1t had effect it would
ONLY 30 away with the small, cheap ones
and those remaining would be made more
attractive than they now are. Many young
men will not go into one OF our low
saloons. but will come up town and stay
ali night in place that is fixed up nice
like the Nicollet bar or Barge's.
Let 100 men pay 100000 annually into
the city treasury, and 1 will show you the
100 men who rule our city. Even ten men
controlling the liquor business of Mime
apolis would be more formidable than the
500 that we have now.
Shall we compromise with the
rum sellers and take $500
more from them every year
and let them go on? Never will this club
sell its votes for 5000. Applause.
The Pioneer Press calls US fanatics, and
takes the position that prohibition is a
thousand fold worse than the new traffic.
IA voice-the editor of the Pioneer Press is
an idiot.
Mr.. Satterlee concluded "Let us stand
firmly by our colors until we accomplish
the entire prohibition of alcoholic liquors
as beverage.
The signing of the legislative petition
closed the meeting, and the crowd dis
persed.
