HILL Us. SH4RON

When Thackeray drew Becky Sharp, he
drew woman brilliantly lowered with men
tai and physical charms to fascinate so old
and seasoned, and stated a nobleman as my
Lord Steyne.
Moreover he made her exacting in money
matters, and gives us to understand that
there was considerable frequency in the cash
ing of cheques at Jones, Brown 81 Robinson's
in Lombard street. The picture is one of
heartlessness and sinister ways, but withal
there is q dash of sincerity and cleverness
about Becky which carries some pity for her.
When the American Vanity Fair comes to
be written by the coming novelist, and he
takes Sarah Althea Hill as our representative
adventures, and our many millionaire,
Sharon as sort of Republican Steyne (only
mere money never could shape such char
actar as that eminent peer) he will have a
combination of exciting incidents which
would seem to have no semblance of prob
ability or reality, were they not to-day, mat
tiers of actual court transcription in the city
of San Francisco,
What revelations do we have to be sure, of
less corruption, who, having apparently no
sense that they are abnormally vile, publicly
give their loathesome evidence, pro and con,
with incredible candor and iDconceivable
aivete. This is about the worst develop
ment of the case, the outspoken abandon of
the obtusest depravity, unco nscious of its
superlative infamy. 1t seems to have
troubled all the persons connected with the
case from first to last, with the same conta-
gion of lewdness in work and act.
The sexton who permitted the two sun
speakable'' women to bury soiled selections
from Mr.. Sharon's wardrobe in the grave of
an old gentleman to cast an amorous spell
over the desirable millionaire, and bind him

fable bonanza, considers the transaction

Lodged in the City CaIabOOse Last
Night.
Accused of Trying to Burn the st. Paul
Hotel.

About II o'clock last night, John Thill
proprietor of the st. Paul hotel on West
Seventh street, reported at city hall that
Mary jackson, domestic in his employ had
made two attempts in the early part of
the evening to set this house on fire.
Capt. Bresett and Detective Walsh called
at the house and had prolonged interview
with the woman, and in view of her evasive
answers she was put under arrest and
brought to the city hall. When the officers
called she was dressed and had her valise
packed.
The first attempt to fire the house was mad G
about Z o'clock, when she was observed COM
ing out of pantry in the kitchen. Imme-
diately afterward fire burst from the pantry,
but being discovered it was put out.
About O'Clock fire was discovered in the
basement stairway, and the suspicion was so
strong against her that she was placed under
arrest.
Upon her arrival at the city hall
she went into hysterical fits
and at 10 O'Clock this morning Dr. Metcalf
was called to attend her. She is about twenty
years of age and quite handsome, and one
theory is that the unfortunate girl must be
crazy.
The police have another theory, which is that
she was instlgated to do the work by some
man at present unknown.

DEATH OF JOHN NEARY.
The Shooting of Tuesday Night Proves
FataI-Inuuest To-Day.

After several days intense suffering, John
Neary, who was wantonly shot at the Pacific
saloon on jackson street by Lloyd Porter last
Tuesday night died at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning.
The circumstances of the unhappy affair
which has resulted so fatally, have been
hitherto fully recorded in the GLOBE. Lloyd
Porter, the man who did the shooting,
arrived in st. Paul last Tuesday and in the
course of the afternoon he called at the Pa
cific saloon, conducted by the father of the
deceased and situated on jackson street.
Porter had been drinking freely and he was
twice elected from the saloon. Returning a
third time, dispute took place between he
and the barkeeper, in the course of which
Porter drew a revolver and fired. AS he did
so, young Neary entered the saloon and a
random shot penetrated his groin. He
fingered until yesterday when he died as
stated.
Yesterday afternoon post mortem exam
ination was made by Drs. Murphy and Horst
who found that the ball had penetrated the
intestines in five places, lodging in the spi-
nal column. Death resulted from infiama-
ton. An inquest will be held at the house at
II 80 O'Clock to-day.

THERE'S TRE1CHERY IN TT.

There is no probability that the Republicans
in congress are in the least sincere in their
profused desire to lessen the illiteracy of the
south. This is charged by some of the speak
ers in the senate. That body is so craven
and dignified that it is not likely to be the
case that one member would willingly misin-
terpret or misstate the position of another
one. Senator Beck stated that he believed
that the Republicans: were urging the appro-
priation of money for educational purposes
in the South solely for the reason that they
might oppose reduction of taxation, on the
ground of the large amounts necessary for
the support of the government, 1t is impos-
sible to conceive for moment that the Re-
publican party, in this matter, is animated in
the least by any regard for the South
It's hatred for that section has been shown on
every possible occasion since the close of
the war. 1t gave the South the carpet bag
regime by which that portion of the country
was so thoroughly robbed as if it had been in
the possession of an sarmy of highwaymen,
and since that period there has been no op-
portunity omitted on the part Of a Republi-
can orator or newspaper to villify the South
to most outrageous extreme. Every muir
der down there has received especial atten-
ton from the Northern press and has been
quoted as proving the barbarity of the
people and their unftness for self-govern-
ment. There has never in short, been the
slightest consideration shown the Southern
people. They have been maligned, aban-
doned, misrepresented, outraged by the Re-
publican press and partyin every conceivable
manner. 1t does not seem to be within the
limits of the probable that party which for
twenty years has shown itself the deadly
enemy of the South should in a moment turn
about and become the warm friend of that
locality. Transitions so sudden occur some
times on the stage, or in romance, but,
never in real life. Hence the sudden
desire of the Republicans to benefit the South
is to be regarded only with suspicion. 1t is
probable that Senator Beck has suggested the
real explanation, for there can be no other
consistent with the long career of the domin-
ant party. The illiteracy of the south has
long been one of its stock campaign asser-
tions. This very illiteracy has been thou
sand times pointed out and urged as a reason
why the Democratic party should not be
trusted with power as the South is solidly
Democratic. Can it be supposed
for a moment that the Republican
party wishes to obliterate one of its most
useful campign arguments, unless it can Sc
cure something more valuable in its place?
There is just one thing which is more valua-
BILE to the Republicans that the possession of
point on which to base abuse of the South
This thing is the handling of the income
from tariff and taxation. The love of money
is superior even to an opportunity to ma
Ign the Southern people. Senator Beck has
probably hit upon the real explanation.

WIFE BEATING.

The extremely refined and aesthetic legis-
lature of Massachusetts, voted down a bill
to punish wife heaters with fiogging. 'Flog-
ging" as a penalty for misdemeanors, is es-
teemed by many as sign of barbarism rath-
er than of civilization, and the same sensitive
people seem to think wife-beating one Of the
fine arts There is scarcely any enOrmity
deserving more condign punishment than
wife-beating. Flogging, the penitentiary,
or even capital expiation, would be APP
propriate punishments in such cases, owing
to the enmority of the british outrage.
Here is a case that occurred at Little Falls,
New York, where the wife-beating brute de-
serves the seyerest legal penalty possible to
impose whether the poor wife lives or not.
The victim in the Little Falls case is the
wife of F. O. Armstrong of Albany, and the
fiendish beating she received was at the
house of her father in the first named place.
Mrs. Armstrong has made an ante norton
statement Her husband burned the mar
rage certificate and it is believed he has
another wife elsewhere. For his brutal as
sault he has been committed to the Herkimer
comfy jail, without bail, to await the action
of the grand jury.
Stringent, severe, unacceptable punish
ment alone can check the tide of criminality
that is sweeping over the land and desolating
society. Wife beating exists to a most bar
barous extent, and the punishment for such
a crime should be swift, sure and severe in
proportion to the enormity of the offense.
The man who lays his hand on woman in
aught, save in the way of kindness is mon
ster and reprobate too loathsome to be toler-
ated among mankind. Nothing can be more
appropriate than the revival or the whipping
post for the punishment of wife-beaters.
There is quite too much soft sympathy with
criminals, and laxity and lenlency in
the punishment of offenders. This is really
the bane of the times.

Fargo Election To-Day.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


FARGO, April 6.-The1most intense excite
ment prevails in the city over the municipal
election tomorrow. The candidates for
mayor are, w. A Yerxa, the present incum-
bent, and W. A. Kindred. Charges of per-
sonal immortality of one of the candidates
and of being the choice of a ring on the
other, have caused intense bitterness. The
mayor has appointed a great number of
special police, said to be nearly one hundred.
And the sheriff, who is charged with being
one of the leaders of the alleged ring, has APP
pointed large number of deputies.
A collision between the deputies and spec
ial police is regarded as almost inevitable and
there are the gravest apprehensions of trou-
BILE. Good citizens will be happily dissap-
pointed if the day passes off peaceably. The
registry shows 2,655 against 1851 votes cast

proposition that he should be regularly in

terrain, and he stated he should formally
tender his resignation on Tuesday evening
next. The adherents of DR.. Ranney say,
they regard the proposed resignation as IN
