III SHOULD DIE TONIGHT.
MRS JENEvERAH NJ. wINroN.

II should die tonight,
Ny friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And deem that death had left it almost fair;
And laying snow white flowers against my hair,
Would smooth it down with fearful tenderness,
And fold my hands with lingering caress;
Poor hands, SO empty and SO cold tonight
II / should die tonight,
My friends would call to mind with loving
thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought,
Some gentle words the frozen lips had said
Errands on which the willing feet had sped;
The memory of selfshness and pride,
My hasty words would all be laid aside,
And SO l should be loved and mourned to-
night.
If l should die tonight, ss9a
Even hearts estranged would turn once more
to me,
Recalling other days remorsefully.
The eyes that chilled me with averted glance,
Would look upon me as of yore, perchance,
And soften in the old familiar way,
For who could war with dumb, unconscious
clay?
So might rest forgiven of all, tonight.
Oh friends, pray tonight
Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold brow,
The way is lonely, let me feel them now,
Think gently of me; am travel-worn,
My faltering feet are pierced with many thorn,
Forgive, oh heart estranged, forgive, plead!
When dreamless rest is mine shall not need
The tenderness for which long tonight.

Notes by the Way upon the st. Paul JObbe,'s
Trip.
Grant Co. Cd. IT, Review.
Ed F. Barrett, the modest representative
of the GLOBE was so pleased with the Dako-
ia Hills. that he has decided to take his fine
flock of Membrino sheep there to herd.
Gen. Geo. R. Finch, the president of the
Jobbers Union, is bigger man to-day than
Grant His genial good nature and the
shake of his hand speak volumes. May he
live thousand years.
AS aid to the general we find Col. A. s.
Talmadge, of the well known spice, coffee
and tea firm of Berkey, Talmadge & Co. The
colonel is omnipresent. He is really the
ladies' man of the party, and many a sly
glance from the fair sex was thrown after
the colonel. 1t is no wonder that the ladies
swear by the firm.
wish that had time to describe each in
dividual member of this party, and also the
ability. They are gentlemen in every sense
that the term implies, and whether this ter
ritory is admitted or not makes little dif fer
ence, so long as we have the Jobbers I'm
ion. Why, they take with us as Mother
Winslow's Soothing Syrup does with the
children. They all cry for them. Come often,
gentlemen.
Judge Chandler, the Vanderbilt of the
West, of course had charge of this party.
What can l say of him that is not known!
Large of frame, to give play to his large, gen
erous heart; man that you need no step
ladder to talk to; the orator on all occasions.
The party would be lacking without him.
VIM. Dixon, the northwestern passenger
agent of the c. NJ. 81 st. P Ry., of course
was along. and his reputation was establish
| ed long, long ago, back to when he piloted
party of English gentlemen over the s. c.
Ry His services were at once secured by
this road and the travel over this railroad
through to Chicago will testify to their good
Judgment. May we meet early and often.
Accompanying our party is the genial ond
| courteous superintendent of the river divi-
sion, c. w. Case, formerly of the Fl. 81 D.
division. He understands how to make the
trip doubly pleasant. and is always on the
lookout to see that everything Is done for the
comfort of the party.
| Nor must | neglect to return thanks to
| Superintendent Kelie, and his new assistant,
Mr. Beacham, for their watchfulness of the
party in their charge on the II. IL D. They
are both fine gentlemen and first-class rail
read officials.

Judson, Grebie and Olson, of that live
town-a suburb of St. Paul-Farming.o on,
are with the party, giving passes over the
Pennington railroad, the only one that
downs the c., NJ. 81 st. P, and the boys lose
no occasion to laud their town. They say
that it is the Paradise of this world. l think
that they actually believe it. They say thai
inside of ten years st. Paul business men
will have their homes there, and / can hea. /

RAILROAD LAND GRANTS.
Republicans Have Shown Themselves
Opposed to Their Forfeiture.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l

* WASHINGTON, July 25.-The Republicans
will be called on to face very serious issue
in addition to the mention of a general re-
form of the government, in which the public
mind Is mainly exercised. The Democratic
speakers propose to push vigorously the ques-
ton of FORGETTING the unearned land grants
and will insist that the Democratic house has
done its part toward restoring to the public
domain the land rightly belonging to the
people, while the Republican senate, acting
in the interest of the corporations
refused to pass those bills. Hon.
Oscar Turner, of Kentucky, has prepared
a table exhibiting the action OF the house on
this subject, showing the enormous amount
of the public domain involved in this action;
The following Is a list of the bills of forfeit
ure passed by the house of representatives.
House bill No. $3.50 includes the follow
roads: Gulf & Ship Island, 652, 800 acres;
Tuscaloosa Il Mobile, 6SS, 900 acres: Coosa
& Tennessee, 100000 acres; Savannah q
Albany, 900, 900 acres; New Orleans Il State
line. 125, 500 acres. Little Rock and Fort
Smith, l, o57, 024 acres. This bill passed the
house of representatives, January 81, 1884,
House bill No. 1898, Texas Pacific rail
road, IA, 800, 76O acres passed Jan. 81, 1884.
House bill No. 1S1, Oregon Central, $780,
$50 acres, passed June 4, 1884.
House bill No. 5,S97, California & Oregon,
2,126, $50 acres, passed June 6, 1884.
There are a number of bills on the calen-
dar FORGETTING other land grants, among
which is the Northern Pacific, with 48,215,-
Gao acres.
1t is notorious that the great corporation,
finding that these bills could not be stopped
in the house of representatives, concluded to
transfer their fight to the senate as body,
when they would be likely to meet much
more favor 1t is believed that the different
action of the two houses on this question will
strike the voters, who have witnessed with
alarm the rapid absorption of the public do
main the great corporations and by foreign
syndicates. The matter concerns the work
ingmen who desire homes quite as much as
Cieveland's vetoes.

industries have come to rely upon legislation
for successful continuance, so that any
change Of law must be at every step regard
full of the labor and capital thus involved. The
process of reform must be subject in the ex-
cution to this plain dictate of justice.
All taxation shall be limited to the require

necessary reduction in taxation can and
must be effected without depriving AN e-icau
labor Of the ability to complete successfully

lower rates of duty than will be ample to GOV

may exist in consequence of the higher rate
of wages prevailing in this country.
Sufficient revenue to paw all the expenses
OF the federal government, economically adj
nfnistered, inciudings pensions, interest and
principal Of the public debt. can be got, un-
der our present system Of taxation. from the
custom-house taxes on fewer imported arti-
cles, bearing heaviest on articles of luxury,
and bearing highest on articles of necessity.
We therefore denounce the abuses Of the
existing tariff; and, subject to the preceding
limitations, we demand that federal taxation
shall be exclusively for public purposes. and
shall not exceed the needs of the govern
ment economically administered.
The system Of direct taxation known as
the internal revenue is war tar, and 80
long as the Law continues the money derived
therefrom should be sacredly devoted to the
relief of the people from the remaining bur
dens of the war, and be made a fund TO de-
fray the expense of the care and comfort of
worthy soldiers disabled in line of duty in
the wars OF the republic, and for the payment
of such pensions as congress may from time
