Washington Notes.

The house committee on militia, agreed to
report with favorable recommendation, Rep
resentative Connolly's bill for special and
uniform instruction of the state militia.
The committee also agreed to report favor
ably, with amendment, Representative
Straits bill, increasing the annual appropria-
ton for the benefit of the militia from $780,,
600 to 5000, 900, the same to be apportioned
among the states and territories.
Representative Willis says another effort
to pass the bill extending the bonded whisky
period, will be made within the next few
days, Immediately after the passage of the
postofice appropriation bill. He says, there
is an understanding that no appropriation
will be reported to antagopize the measure,
until vote on it has been secured. The
only appropriation bill that could be used in
that way, is the agricultural appropriation

SPRINGER'S COMMITTEE.
Cook Explains Some of the Raseality
used in the Star Route Cases.

WASHINGTON, March 12-Wm. A. Cook con
tinued his testimony to-day before the Springer
committee. He testified that the government
star route case was delayed by the absence of
counsel. 'Bliss often returned TO New York 10
attend to his private business. In his claim for
expenses, he made charges for railroad fare from
Washington to New York and return, several
times. inquired at one time what was to be
allowed Bliss, and was startled to learn
that he was to get 800 day. After
wards, in his expense account, found
charge for washing. 1t is rather
remarkable that attorney should charge in his
expense account for washing his linen" Witness
said the compensation of Bliss was extravagant,
unjustidable and unearned IN every respect. An
ample consideration for. what Bliss did, consider
ing the condition in which he found the cases,
would have been $50, 900. The cases were i'm
properly handled. The appointment of Bliss
was wholly a political appointment Witness re-
ferred to his testimony yesterday, and said heI
had omitted to say that before President Garfield
was shot the attorney general received an anony-
nous and threatening letter. Cook was excused
until tomorrow

the personal property of the member of
congress from that district, to be distributed
at will. Noone understands this better than
Mr.. Dunnell, and no one ever exercised this
privilege more exactingly, regardless OF all
civil service reform bosh 1t would probably
be more fatal to president than the shots of
Wilkes Booth and Guiteau to attempt to give
personal attention TO the petty postoffice
squabbles throughout the country. AS Pres
ident Arthur hopes to live long enough to
have a second terms he did not wish
to establish the precedent that he would
90 behind the member of congress in ap-
pointing postmasters. If he had done so,
he would have had postoffice hornet nests
come swarming in from every congressional
district in the country. This whole fight has
been big thing at Owatonna, but in Wash
ington it was a very small gnat on very big
bulls horn. The President has finally said,
shoe fly to the gnat and Wheelock is 2.

volving on its axis.

osMfN DIGMA,S MfSSION4IRY. WORK.

OSM.1N DIGMA;S MISSIONARY WORK.
Osman Digma announces that he is going
to drink the blood of the Turks and their
allies, and he furthermore recommends that
missionaries be sent to the English to con-
vert them to the faith Of the Moslem. AS to
drinking the blood of the Turks and their al
lies. there is not much worthy of notice in
this direction, save to the effect that he will
have a nauseous task, and one that will sick
en- him long before he has quaffed many
rivers of Turkish and English gore. But his
suggestion of trying to convert the English
to the Moslem faith by the aid of missiona-
ries, is something which will attract attention
as being badly conceived plan to accom-
plish a much needed reform. 1t is fact
that England is to-day in a moral condition
which is far from satisfactory. Scandals
abound, it is common thing for nobility
to unite itself in marriage with the 'halt
world of morals. Divorces are frequent and
reveal things which shock the moral sense
of all christendom. There are scandals
concerning the royal head of the kingdom
the heir apparent has obtained a reputation
in many respects quite the equal VI
that Of some of the Georges.
There are open insinuations regarding a
Princess while many of the aristocratic
houses reek like rotting offal from the moral
decay and disintegration within. Here is a
place where a missionary is needed. A
modern missionary is the one required. The
religion which he would teach if carried into
active practise would purge London of its
impurities as if it were great moral cathar-
tic. Divorces, seductions, and open debauch-
ery would cease. Women with scarlet letters
on their breast like that borne by Hester
Prynne would become common on the
streets were it not that such characters
would be disposed of in a sack in the bottom
of the Thames. By all means let Osman
send his missionaries to England. They
can't do harm, they may accomplish vast
good.

Special Telegram TO The Globe.

FARGO, March lit was noted to-day that
number of Irish citizens, from the country and
other towns, including Mcbride, the head OF the
Fenm council, at New Buffalo, were in Fargo,
Close observation and unwary leakage have elicit
ed the fact B that a largely attended
meeting was held with closed doors

and interest in the organization in the large cities
further east, and that moral and material aid
would not be lacking when there call for
them over the line. just what there is in the
matter cannot be accurately determined, but tho
fact that meetings are held is not doubted

be beneficial. The average reduction aimed
cent, and the total amount which it is esti-
mated would be dropped in the revenue re-
ceipts is some s31, 000,0 900. This is not a very
large sum, but it is large enough to consti-
tute bone of contention, whose result may
be the defeat or the dropping of the measure.
To the masses the main question involved
in any tariff measurs is the influence it may
have on wages. There is an allusion to the
phase of the case in the majority report of
the tariff commission. The report says that,
under the tariff measure of year ago, there
was decrease of duties on some articles
and there was an increase on others. The
changes made had no effect on wages. There
was no decrease in wages among operatives
engaged in the production of articles on
which the duty was lowered, and equally
there was no increase in wages in the
case of materials on which the duty was in
creased. This is very important fact, and
should commend itself to the consideration
of operatives who are taught that lowering
of the tariff means decreased earnings, and
that an increase in the duties raises the
value of labor
The report further asserts that the "calam-
ity of frequently occurring industrial embar-
easements, and forced idleness is INSOFAR
able from the enormities of our protective
system, and that the calamities of such
a system always fall on the labor
ing poor The report shows that
the effect of protection on iron and steel
has been to stimulate production in excess
of the demand, and proves this by the fact
that in 1882 the rolling mills of Pittsburg and
the west were closed four months bya strike,
and at the end of the strike there was no adj
vance in the prices of rolled iron. At the
end of the strike the laborers commenced
at the same wages they were receiving when
the strike was inaugurated-thus losing the
earnings of four months and gaining no
advance by the loss.
But none of these facts, important as they
are, are really involved in the issue which
the politicians are now presenting to the
country. The real issue is not, is excessive
tariff duty swindle on the laborer and the
consumers but, who shall be the next presi-
dent! That's the matter at issue, and all
other questions will give way to it.

THE people. of Minnesota will hail with
pleasure the advent of the s'fast mall the
first arrival of which is booked for $50 this
afternoon. This mail will bring letters de-
posted in the New York offices up to or z
O'Clock Tuesday night, gain of about one
day in the former rate of transmission. Con.
gress having made an appropriation for the
fast mail, Postmaster General Gresham, and
his assistant, Frank Hatton, have manifested
very proper degree of intelligence in
recognizing the business interest of the
northwest by extending the service in
this direction. Our citizens will prob
ably manifest their appreciation of
this favor by courtesies extended to
the visitors who come with the first train to-
day. At present there seems to be no plan
for return fast mail from the northwest.
This should be remedied. New York and
the east generally need quick transit for
mail from st. Paul just as much as ST. Paul
needs quick transit from New York.
In fact the amount of money we send east
will frequently help New York out of tight
pinch if it can be transmitted one business
day quicker than at present.

forest reservation atthe headwaters of the
Missouri river and at Clarls's Forks of the

lis well known that the destruction of forests
atthe headwaters of streams is a potent fac
tor in producing low stages of water on the
zone hand, by facilitating evaporation from
the ground, and of making freshets worse by
permitting the too rapid melting of the snow
in%the spring. Besides this American forests
are fast being depleted and their preservation
is no unworthy object, even if no other end

THE ZARIFF IND THE PRESIDENCY

THE THRIFT IND THE PRESIDENCY.
The bill presented. to the house by the
Morrison committee may or may not ad-
vance beyond its present position. There
are already rumors to the affect that a major
ity cannot be foundto support it, and that
the Democrats will allow it to drop without
any serious attempt to push its passage.
The reason of this possible course is the fear
on the part of the political managers that the
bill may unfavorably effect the coming
election.
There is no doubt on the part of the ma
jority of the committee or on the part of the
country at large that the proposed
measure is, in the main, a
just one; that it relieves the consumers of
some of the very onerous burden which they

VERY few persons are aware, perhaps, that
thirty thousand women gain their livelihood in
Paris by making artificial flowers. The majority
of them are asserted by writer in the Pail Mall
Gazette to be real artists, initiating nature, almost
to perfection, with exquisite taste and well de-
veloped imagination. The rose in the workshop
of the tleuriste is the masterpiece If the art of
making the rose is acquired the maker is sup
poesd to be able to initiate any other flower
the rose being considered as particularly
developing the imagination of young artists.
There are specialists in the flower factories, the
buds, the foliage and the mounting being done
by different workmen. In this line of manufac
ture there is great competition in England,
Germany, Switzerland and the United States,
but none of these can compete with the Parsians
in elegance, delicacy and taste, and all countries
pay the French the compliment of using their
models.
