WHY DELAY

The Legislative session, which is limited
to sixty days, began January I'd.
This is Jan. 30th, making twenty nine
days Zone less than half the SESSION. al
ready gone.
The question of who shall be U. S. Sena-
tor has so engaged the legislature that
almost no business has been done.
1t is generally understood that Mr.. Win
dom has begged for one more day to test
his strength. 1t is not probable that his
vote to-day will exceed ffty-one, though
he is really entitled to fifty-three.
Whatever it may be, his election being
conceded to be impossible, his friends owe
it to themselves and to the public interests,
to cease trifiing, and place Mr.. Window in
the background, that there may be no fur
ther delay.
After being honored for twenty -four
years, tits simply indecent for Mr.. Window
to ask to have an entire biennial session
of the legislature devoted to displaying his
weakness and the lack of public confidence
entertained by the people for him.
To-day, the promise to ''stick" being out,
no change is practicable, but that promise
should not be renewed. With Mr.. Window
out of the field concentration upon a
suitable candidate can be secured. If
he will not go voluntarily he
should be gently kicked into
the middle of next week, and the business
of the session proceeded with.
AS Mr.. Window is not a resident of the
state, he has no care whether any legisla-
ton is secured this winter. His selfish
ness should no longer be allowed to block
the public business.

AN English compilation of shipwrecks
for 1882 shows that, while the total num-
Der is nearly two thousand, it is still $50
less than in 1881. The vessels lost repre-
sented carrying capacity of over six
hundred thousand tons, and the cargoss
upon the shipwrecked vessels aggregated
over 100000 tons. The number of
lives known to be lost is stated
at 4,129, which is less than the
loss of life in 1882. A number of causes
are given as operating to diminish the
number of shipwrecks and the attendant
loss of life. Vessels of all kinds are bet
ter constructed, and greater pains taken to
insure safely. Among these is the great
amount of life-saving apparatus, the more
stringent regulations in respect to in
specting vessels, limiting the number
of passengers and the amount
of freight to be carried, testing steam ap-
paratus, increasing the number of light
houses, improving the marine charts and
the system of signals. DISTINCTIONS have
been removed from many natural harbors,
and large number of artificial harbors
have been constructed. Nearly all civil
lied nations have united in the adoption of
these salutary regulations. The annual
loss of life and property is still very large,
but that it is really decreasing, materially,
is a matter for which to be thankful.

Especial Telegram to the Globe
LOUISVILLE, Jan. 29.-It seldom happens
that lovers who make practice of riding
on the front gate come to grief, as couple
did last night upon Hancock street, near
Walnut, nor is it usally the case that one
of them is a colored man while the other is
a handsome white girl as it turned out,
when officers Hendricks and McGrath az
rested pair and placed them in Clay
stqk@ station charged with disorderly con-
duct. The girl is Mary Meekle. She is
about twenty years old and resides with
her parents on Hancock near Walnut, while
the lover is blind colored boy named John
Obannon, who lives in the same neighbor-
hood. For some time past the people in
the neighborhood have noticed the two
lettering over the gate. At first they
thought it was accidental, but so often was
it repeated that they grew suspicious, then
indignant, and last night made complaint
to the officers. After the twain were az
rested, the girl when questioned regarding
the affair, said she met the man there be-
cause she loved him, and did not seem
ashamed at making such a confession.
The man is very black and the girl is
quite good looking, so the case affords
food for quite interesting speculation in

which he takes ground against the aboll-
ton of the reciprocity treaty between the

that the only injury done to our trade by

THE OMAHA LINE.

The GLOBE has the gratifying assurance
from Superintendent Winter and Traffic
Manager Hiland, that the report that the
main offices of the Omaha line are to be
removed to Chicago is incorrect.
These gentlemen state that upon Mr..
Rughitt's recent visit to st. Paul, the gen
eral working management was reviewed.
AS the result, it was decided that some of
the bookkeeping force could be reduced,
rand some division suprintendents
were dispensed with. Whatever
was done was simply with a
view of greater economy, and not with any
intent of making st. Paul an appendage
10 Chicago in the system.
They also state that while the Omaha
line is an integral part of the North
western, the policy is to maintain
it as an independent trunk line, as
much as though it had separate ownership.
The Omaha lines are being operated in
harmony with the Northwestern,a s matter
of course, but as entirely Independent
as before the change of ownership. The
Northwestern does not attempt, and could
not under the present arrangement, to d.
vert traffic to Chicago.
The GLOBE is gratitied to receive these
friendly assurances that the rumored
change of policy is not correct. and
trusts that the Omaha line will perman-
emily continue its present management
and policy.

The death of Flotow, the composer, is a
worldwide bereavement. He was a man
of rare musical gifts, and his name has be-
come household word wherever harmony
is appreciated. His most popular and per
haps his most enduring work was the
opera of martha" which has been sung
all over the world more frequently in the
last fifteen years than any other in the
lyric repertoire. Its enhancing melodies
are almost as familiar as "Home, Sweet
Home" "Stradella" has also achieved a
large share of success, though not as fasoin-
ating to the popular ear as Martha -
He has also produced a score of other
works, few of which, however, have been
produced in this country.

ton of the late ministry. He said though

it placed itself at the disposal of the

required; that the question raised shall be
promptly settled. Cassagnac and Della
notte proposed an adjournment of the

ceptional measures. He congratulated the
outgoing ministers on their atti-

these perpetual crisises which
raised doubts as to the stability of repub-
Hcan institutions. 1t behooved the cham
Der to strengthen the republic by tenn
perate and tranquilizing course. M. Flo
quet said his object was to protect the re-
public, which is threatened by pretensions
that have begun to have effect. The coun-
Gil then adjourned. The municipal council

more intimate political connections" The

States did not produce that result The

in the opposite direction. There is less
