CREH4TION.

Cremation is growing in public favor. Its
growth is slow but steady. 1t is not looked
upon with that loathing and horror that it
was few years ago when DR.. Lemoyne of
Pennsylvania had crematory constructed,
in which subsequently his own body, at his
request, was delivered to the devouring
flames, when he died. Several other bodies
have been since burned in that crematory,
and the incarceration of the dead has ceased
to produce the sensation and aversion that it
formerly did. Sanitary reasons are urged
in advocacy of the burning of the bodies of
the dead, especially in cities and populous
districts, and we often hear nowadays of
the construction of crematories. The prac-
tice is growing in favor, not only in this
country, but also in England, and other coun-
tries, and converts to the propriety of resort
ing to this disposition of the bodies of de-
ceased persons are fast increasing, and many
persons of prominence and distinction are
throwing their influence in that direction, bv
devoting their bodies, by special request to
cremation after their decease.
The British Medical Journal says that public
opinion is rapidly coming around in support
OF cremation. Among its supporters may
be counted the Earl of SALISBURY and more
than one of the bishops. The London sewer
commissioners advocate the practice. The
corner stone of a crematory structure, digni-
fed by the name of ''Temple" was recently
laid at Mount Oliyet, Long Island. The
building is to be of brick and marble with q
furnace in rear Of the basement The ground
floor will contain chapel, where funeral
services may be held, and in the centre aisle
there will be permanent catafalque. 1t is
expected that the building viii be ready by
the middle of next February. In the present
state OF the public mind and feeling, these
practices seem CHASTITY and repulsiye enough.
Relatives cling with fearful, agonized ten
derness TO the inanimate forms of their
loved ones, and decorate with oft rem ewed
floral offerings the tasty beds where their

plores that Mr.. Blaine did not go to Arthur

plore his assistance, aud the active support
of his administration under a promise To

such a bargain to Mr.. Arthur
shows to Mr.. Milhken's mind that "Blaine

one must be ready to enter into any devious,
crafty bargain that may suggest itself. Mr.
Milliken also declares that est John could

have been effected If the Administration had

an ardent supporter in his friend
Milhken, though he comes in rather
late with his push-pin knowledge OF
politics. Such treasure as Miliken should
NOT have kept in the background, but should
have been installed in the place held by the
blunderbuss, Steve Elkins. Regarding this
sagacious man with such foreiful hindsight,
it is painful to notice that an esteemed con-
temporary harshly says, ''Burchard is a fool

THE GLOBE AND THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS

The telegraph brings US the following re-

Associated Press, which Was held in Detroit,
Michigan, yesterday:

Western Associated press was held here to-day.
with larger attendance than has been had for
many years. All except two members were rep

Which were unanimously approved.

large amount Of business was transacted.
Among other things. the ST. Paul GLOBE was
admitted TO membership, and the following reso-
luton was adopted:
ResolOed, That the thanks Of this Association
are due and hereby rendered to the board OF di-
rectors, joint executive committee and 10 the
general manager, for the thorough and efficient
management OF the business OF the Associated
Press during the past year.
II will be noticed that among the business
transactions was the admission Of the GLOBE
10 full and formal membership. The GLOBE
secured full news privileges Of the Western
Associated Press before it began publication
in January, 1878, and has ever since re-
ceived the entire news reports Of the associa-
ton as complete as any paper
in the country. For technical
reasons, not necessary 10 explain,
the membership certificate was for over SIX
years denied the GLOBE, and it had no voice
in the management Of the association, In the
benefits and expenses OF which 1t participa-
ted. All this was ended by the placing Of the
GLOBE on the roll as an active member yes
terday.
Membership in the Western and New York
Associated press, which are now consolida-
ted into one organization, is a
somewhat exclusive affair. The New York
association comprises but seven papers and
the western association about fifty. Humid
reds of other papers buy news of this giant
organization but possess none Of the ad-
vantages Of membership. One Of these ad-
vantages is the absolute veto power which a
member possesses relative to a new paper in
its locality. Capital can consequently be
elected for such newspapers, with the Ger
tainty that the investment cannot be de-
stroyed by new conner. 1t is on the
certainty which this membership gives that

prosperous.
There are but three of these memberships
in Minnesota, but three In Wisconsin, none
at all in Iowa, and none in Illinois and Mis- =
souri, save in Chicago and 81. Louis.
1t is not only an association limited by
numbers, but no paper of consequence can
exist without directly or indirectly being con-
nected Herewith.

THE GLOBE ANNUAL REVIEW.

Every year since It's existence the GLOBE
has issued, on the 31st of December, an an
nual review of the trade, growth and progress
of St. Paul for the year just closing. These re-
views have had feeble imitators but no rivals,
and the only hampering has been the lack
of mechanical facilities to meet the popular
demand for extra copies of the publication.
During the past year the mechan-
ical facilities of the GLOBE have
been made superior to those of any other
paper west of Chicago, and a magnificent
new building, erected expressly for the
GLOBE, which will be occupied before this
publication, will make the GLOBE equipped
equal to any paper in the United States, and
at an expense only INDUCED in by the lead
ing and most thoroughly established journals
of the country.
The great advancement of the GLOBE in
1884, which places it upon such magnif-
cent footing, is simply commensurate with
the great Advancement of st. Paul, and an
effort will be made to furnish an annual re-
view of which every citizen can be proud.
The size of the edition both in number of
copies printed and in the number Of pages
used, depends entirely upon the de-
mands of the business public. The GLOBE
can meet any demands upon its space that
can be made, but in preparing for SO great
an edition as is sure to be made, some time
must be allowed for arrangement, and those
who would secure choice locations for their
advertising announcements should apply
early. The first applicants can, of course,
have the choice, and the GLOBE trusts all of
Its friends, which comprises the entire pub
Lie, will aim to be first in securing advertis-
ing positions.

NO MYSTERY 4ROUr IT.

THERE is great newspaper discussion and
mystifying mystery in regard TO the object OF
Senator Bayard's late visit to Presdent-elect
Cleveland. 1t is not at ali likely that Mr.
Bayard went to Albany unasked, or on
FOOLS GRAND. He eschewed hotels, went
direct to the Executive mansion, and when
his visit was ended, without turning to the
right or the left, took the cars, to return to
Washington. There is no mystery about the
matter.
Mr.. Lincoln called Chase, Seward and
Others privately to Springfield to consult in
regard to arranging his cabinet. General
Garfield called Judge Folger and others to
Mentor to arrange the make up of his cabi-
met, and if Mr.. Cleveland should do the
same there would be nothing wrong about
it. 1t may be asserted, without fear of con-
tradiction, that Mr.. Bayard went to Albany
for consultation in regard TO taking a seat in
the cabinet. 1t is believed the portfolio of
the State Department or the Treasury will be
assigned him, just as the high contracting
parties may decide. 1t is certain, at any,
rae, that no better selection for the cabinet
can be made, or one that will give more uni
versal satisfaction.

The Madison Square Theater company
open an engagement at the Grand to night
in their successful play May Blossom The
Boston TndUeler, speaking of ''May Blossom'1
and Miss Georgia Cayvan, says: ''The play
is a charming mixture Of the tragic and the
comic sides of life, full OF tears and laughter
as an April day Miss Cayvan as the heroine,
invests her role with q sincerity and mag
netism that Is very fine and strong. The
latent tragic capacity OF her nature is felt all
through this role, and she works
out her conception with simple
refinement, and from basis
OF artistic selection that marks her as the ar
list distinct from the actress. That Miss
Cayvau has before her q brilliant future no
one can doubt who watches her critically in
this role. Nature has gifted her with beauty,
womaDly presence and an extraordinary mo-
bility Of eountenanee. Conception and ex-
preston are almost instantaneous with her.
The Madison Square has been almost pro-
fessional training school for many young
actresses, aud in MSS Cayvan it sends out
an artist who reflects high honor upon its
methods. May Blossom Is one Of the
most intense aud interesting Of modern
plays. The mechanical effects, as the sea
rolling in toward the shore. the flight Of birds,
the charming childrens' parts introduced In
II, the comedy Of Sister Deborsh's courtship,
the tragic element that enters into Mays
young life, all contribute to a play whose
power and pathos hold the listener from the
beginning to the end"

GEN. SHERMAN, for some inscrutable pur-
pose, has been pleased to make a sensational
statement in regard to JEFF Davis conduct as
the head of the Southern Confederacy, ch arg
ing that during his occupance Of the Office of
President he sought TO become Dict ator and
assume Kingly functions. The proof Of the
charge is rather obscure, and whether ample
or limited, as to the desires and ambitions Of
Davis, thirty years ago, the matter is of little
or no moment now, and the effort to engross
public attention with it, is practically a fail
ure. After the collapse of the rebellion and
the complete surrender under the Appomat-
tox apple tree and the final capture of Davis
himself, President Lincoln sought to close
the personal issue involved by permitting
Davis to escape all penalties, except perma-
nent Acknowledgement With only occasional
exceptions, Lineoln's policy was approved
by the country. What is to be gained now
by fresh discussion of transactions more or
less mythical is not apparent The position
of Davis is not altered before the world, and
nothing is added to the fame of Gen. Sher-
man by thrusting upon the public a matter
that if it had any pertinency thirty years ago,
has none now, and the case cannot be so au-
chemically established as to have any value,
even as ancient history.

When Grant and Ward exploded and General
Grant found himself indebted to W. II. Wander
bilt for $4,000 borrowed money, he and his
wife offered to assign their property to the cred
itor in liquidation of the debt. Mr.. Vanderbilt
declined TO accept the sacrifice. and was greatly
commended for his refusal He was reported as
telling General Grant not TO worry about the
matter, to straighten up when convenient or not
at all, as he found himself able to do. Now Mr..
Vanderbilt sues for payment Of the debt and has
recorded confession for the fall amount with
interest from May 8. He has right TO do this,
but the concessions Of generosity made in his
behalf seem to require revocation.-St Paul

of the audience was grandly entertained and
manifested its pleasure with frequent encore.
The historic river Rhine was shown from its
birthplace in the glaciers of the Alps through
wild gorges to the first resting place in the
beautiful Lake Constance, thence through its
falls to the beautiful city of Heidelberg with
its grand old ruins and forest. The villa Of
Queen Hortense aud her sad mem
cries were finely illustrated on the
canvas and narrated by Mr.. Stoddard. II
was next TO sailing down the river with the
lecturer, as city after city hove in sight, and
ruined castle after castle came to view and
their history was tersely and interestingly
given, spicily interpreted with old legend
and story. The views Of the rich vineyards
of Prince Metternich and his crankism for
autographs, the fayonte summer resort Of
King William, aud also OF his queen, Au-
gusta, the Gibraltar Of the Rhine, with its
frowning battlements, the noble bridge Of
Cologne and its great cathedral now but two
years completed, but the name Of whose first
architect is unknown because he outwitted
Satan and stole the plan from him, were full
of deep interest, coupled With Mr.. Stoddard's
unequaled powers Of description.

A COUPLE of Ohio young men, even West
ern Reserve young men, became inspired
with the idea that should they secure the
monopoly of the privilege of selling beer at
the New Orleans Exposition, there would be
millions in it for them. So these two bright,
Ohio young men gathered together all their
savings and earnings, and found their capt.
tai amounted to So, 600, and gleefully set out
on their mission. II seems that various
young men, from other parts, were also
ambitious TO embark in the Exposition beer
business, and some OF them had taken an
earlier train than the Ohio boys, who, by the
way, are seldom late when the cake is TO be
cut. The manager of the grounds was just
refusing S65, 900, cash in sight, for the beer
privilege, when the bright Ohio young men,
fell into line for an interview with the func-
tionary. When their turn for an audience
arrived the genial manager said he would be
most happy to endow them with the sale
of beer permit for the sum OF 500, 900, cash
down. The bright Ohio young men, i'm
mediately went away sorrowful.
