CLERICAL CHFLDIsHNE ss.

A year ago yesterday, Thanksgiving
day, the Boston clergy without exception,
mathematical Governor Ben. Butler. How
they demeaned themselves on this thanks
giving occasion the tardy telegraph
does not unfold. 1t may be promised,
however, that to an extent, the same child
ISL performan &c was INDUCED. Thanks
giving observance is of New England, al
| most of Massachusetts origin, and the pre-
vailipg custom from the earliest period
has been to read the Governors proclaim a.
zion from the pulpit, from an official copy
sent each Clergyman by the Governor for
that purpose, on the Sunday preceding.
The clergy of Boston ''unanimously". read
the Presidents proclamation instead of
respect due the Office of chief magistra to
of the commonwealth, and exhibiting a
smallness of mind leading to much
contem ptuous comment in the state
and out of it. At Springfield the clergy,
or some of them, essayed to snub the
Governor. Several pastors read the proc
lamation as usual, in accordance with
time-honored custom. The Rev. J.
X. Mason interpolated his reading with
grimaces and ''signifcsnt pauses'; DR..
Terhune said he should not read the Gov
ernor,s proclamation, because as it ignor-
ed the churches it was not a subject for
pulpit treatment; Rev. Charles Van Nor
den, had cold and omitted any reading.
but said he did not see why the Cover
nor's proclamation should be sent him any
way" In the Trinity church, Rev. Mr.
Woods, pastor, an amusing episode trans
PRED which is thus described by the
Springfield Republican:
The Rev. Mr.. Woods read tins Presidents
proclamation, apparently satisfying his congre-
CATION, but as the contributions for debt raising
were being taken, prominent Democrat toa u
collector that he would give $50 if the par. on
would read the Governors document Mr..
Woods was in doubt for moment, but on con-
senting newspaper copy of the proclamation
was produced, and he read it like ''chain light
| ming" When the good Republican brethren saw
that their pastor was, as it seemed to them sell
ing his conscience for $50, four of them 'chip-
ped in'' and offered, through another collector,
to buy it back for 500, but Mr.. Woods had
already begun reading, and a scene was prevent
ed by keeping still.
The Massachusetts clergy nay, perhaps,
evolve from their inner cor riousness suffi-
cient compensatory satisfaction, but if
they have added any cubits to their stature
by the spectacle they have become, the
worlds people fail to comprehend it.

TIE sPEAKERsHIP.

A good many Democratic papers and
prominent members of the party are re-
cognizing what the GLOBE called attention
to some time since, that it would be de-
cidedly dangerous to elect Carlisle speaker.
Stirring up the old war feeling is the only
hope for the Republicans next year. 1t is
their only basis for their campaign, and
the election of Carlisle will furnish the
Republicans ammunition, simply because
he is southern man.
Randall is too much of protectionist
to be popular as leader, and his election
will be the entering wedge for fatal
breach among the Democrats.
Cox is the man of all others named who
can harmonize both North and South, and
strengthen the party in both sections.
The latest givings out that the speaker will
either he Randall or Carlisle does not
augur well for Democratic success rext

TIE suggestion to place Gen. John @.
Fremont on the retired list of the army is
received with considerable favor. The
early Path finder is now an old man, hav-
ing only slender income from his posi-
ton as civil engineer IN New York. His
wife, Jesse Benton, the daughter of the
great statesman, Thos. Fl. Benton, was, and
still is one of the most brilliant ladies of
the land. It was she who encouraged and
inspired his inclination and gave
impetus to his genius as an
explorer, and cheered and sustained him
in the toilsome labors he underwent in the
expeditions which developed the value OF
the Rocky mountain region, the import
ance of California and other portions of
the then unknown great west. Both labor
ed for the public welfare and at the sacri-
fee of personal ease and private fortune.

Condition of the Boy Who Was Thrown
Down Stairs.

The condition of Emil Teseh, who is as
serted to have been thrown down the upper
fight of the Market hall stairs about mid
night on Thursday by Officer Reuben
Wright was much better last night than
was thought could be possible oy those
who saw him after the occurrence. Al
though the left side of his face is terribly
swollen and his eye closed and he is so sore
| that he cannot bear to be touched ON
the left side of his body and on his left
| arm, he has rallied from his comstose
| state, and although DR.. Wheaton cannot
| say definitely, it is thought his skull is cot
| fractured.
He told Mr.. Barnes, the general pas5en-
| ger agent of the Northern Pacific road, in

was thrown down the stairs by the officer
| and that it was no5 an accident.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE REDUCED
The "GlObe" Hereafter to be Fur
nished at Lower Rates and the Quail
ity as Well as Quantity Improved.

Readers of the GLOBE have been frankly
advised of the tendency among the leading
papers to reduce their rates to the public
This course, for some time, has been
inevitable. The price of news
papers had not, until recently.
been reducsd since the advance which
took place during the war. Nearly every
thing else has suffered decline, but news
papers have stood at one dollar per month,
the same as in 1865. There was come
reason for the retention Of ''war prices" as
labor has increased rather than
declined, and additional expen-
ditures for news have been
enormous. 1t was on these accounts.
doubtless, that the decline has been SO
long delayed.
The GLOBE has, however, decided to meet
the popular demand for cheaper newspa-
pers, without impairing the quality Of The
paper. In fact, it will be greatly improved
in every respect, no labor or expense being
spared to make it still
moro complete as j news-
paper than it has been. With the intro
duction of its new perfecting press the
GLOBE will be increased in size to an ex-
tent equal to the addition of five of its
present columns. The plans for addi-
tional news service, which cannot be fully
developed until our new quarters and new
press facilities are available, are simply
immense, far surprising anything
heretofore attempted in this locality.
All of this we hope to have
duly inaugurated early in January, when
our new thirty thousand dollar press, with
a capacity of producing fifteen thousand
newspapers per hour, is ,set in operation.
To reduce the price of newspaper and
correspondingly cheaper the subject mat
preciated, but when coupled with the re-
duction, i'm provement in every department
takes place, we feel sure the movement will
be welcomed.
The publishers of the GLOBE have, az
cordingly decided, Notwithstanding the
increase in size and quality proposed, to
make the price of the paper, on and after
December l, 1888, EIGHT DOLLARS
PER YEAR, for seven issues per week,

As a first class newspaper is thus placed
within the reach of all, it is trusted that
the circulation of the GLOBE will only be
limited by the population within its
geographical radius.

Chicago Tribune, Nov. Gs.


Complications have lately arisen be
tween the roads in the Northwestern Traf-
tic association that are likely to break W
the combination no matter what the out
come of to-day's meeting of the Iowa pool
may be. The Northwestern association
is not pool, but combination provid-
ing for the maintenance of uniform rates
ON st. Paul, Minneapolis, and other north
western points under heavy penalties. The
association consists of the Chicago &
Northwestern, Milwaukee & st. Paul, Rock
Island and Burlington, the first three to
confine themselves to the business between
Chicago and st. Paul, and the
latter to that between ST. Louis and
discovered that the provisions of the
agreement are eyaded by the Chicago g.
Northwestern, which, in connection with
the Wabash, takes business from st. Louis
to st. Paul via Chicago at the rate charged
by the Burlington's direct route. This
has had the effect of directing much of
the st. Louis business from the Burling ION,
and the latter now threatens that, if the
Wabash and Northwestern do not at once
cease to compete for the st. Louis bust
ness, it will withdraw from the agreement
The Rock Island and Milwaukee & st.
Paul are also greatly exasperated about
this breach OF good faith, and fully agree
with the Burlington. General Manager
