Much Ado About Nothing.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2.-The Rev. Chas.
A. Dickey has received from the treasurer of
a charity ball fund a check for 81, 700 for the
Presbyterian hospital, Of which Dickey is the
president. The use Of the name of the in
stitution in connection with ball gave
offense to many of the Presbyterians, and
the matter was brought before the board Of
managers by the Rev. DR.. Mcintosh, who
presented resolution that if any money
should be rendered as part of
the proceeds of the ball, it should
not be received, until the board OF trustees
had an opportunity of expressing its opinion.
The resolution led to an animated discussion.
One member of the board declared, that he
would receive money from the proceeds of a
whisky shop or gambling table, and use it
for the sick and poor. When vote was taken
on the resolution, not to receive the money,
it was voted down, ten of the eighteen mem
bers present voting against the resolution.
Since then the matter has been widely talked
about among the Presbyterians and much
feeling is excited.

RECEIPTS OF GRAIN.
An Increase at Chicago and Milwau.
kee and a Falling Off at
st. Louis.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

CHICAGO. March 2.-The Northwestern
markets received more grain last January
than in the corresponding month Of any pre-
vious year, though the increase over last
year was but small The distribution
of the receipts. among the several markets
shows some deviation, Chicago receiving an
unusually large proportion Of the whole and
ST. Louis much smaller one than in other
years. The increase in the total northwest
ern receipts over last year was 1,100,0O
bushels, but the increase at Chicago was
1,153,247 bushels (21 per cent?. There
was also an increase (206,28S bushels
and IA per cent? at Peoria. But
everywhere else there was a decrease which
at St. Louis amounted to SO, $50 bushels (21
per cent? In the winter Chicago does not
receive so large a proportion of the grain as
when navigation is open. Thus in 1888 it
received but Al per cent. of the total, but
in June and July more than 60 per cent,
while for the whole year
it had SIS. Only the upper
Lake ports have made decided gain, and
nearly all of that has been at Chicago. Were
flour included, the gain at Chicago and Mil
waukee would be still more decided, because
there are no large -four receipts at any other
points. Chicago and Milwaukee together re-
ceived nearly 80 per cent of the whole in
the last week reported, and st. Louis ia

rSpecial Telegram to the Globe

FARGO, March 2-The most severe biz
zard of the past two years. as stated, com
menced early this morning and continued
most of the day, to the great discomfort of
those compelled to face it, Slow progress is
made upon the railroads, and all trains are
several hours late and run with two and
three engines and snow pillow and pusher
in front. The track during the day filed up
as fast as cleared. The wind has subsidized
and it is thought the Dakota divisions of the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba will be clear
tomorrow. The train from the west, due
Saturday night, went east tonight at 6
O'Clock. A train left Bismarck tonight
running east, with four engines.

Above all, these delegates must represent a
broad and harmonious Democracy. There must
be no captions opposition to any organization
that represents the Democracy and appears with
honest credentials. The whole delegation TO
Chicago should 90 all together in one immense
train, with no inharmonious or dissentient mot
toes. This is the duty of the Democracy.
Neither threats nor INSTRUMENTATION nor personal
ambition must be allowed to stand il the way of
harmonious action, or, at the most, generous
and friendly rivalry upon candidates alone.
Such counsel is wise and should be the
chart and guide of the party. Occupying that
ground it is sure of success. A can
didate selected under such an aspiration
need not belong to any state in order to be
available. If that spirit prevails it will be
unnecessary to urge that in order to be elect
ed the nominee must reside in New York.
The ticket once chosen will command the
whole effort and all the votes Of the party.
We subscribe 10 the platform OF our es-
teemed contemporary and join in the hearty
choice for broad AMI harmonious Democ-
racy. By that sign do we conquer.

not hesitate say the building is in very
bad condition. While he does not apprehend
any danger of its falling, he intimates that
pieces of iron and stone may become de-
taehed. The foundation, he says, was not
properly laid, and the sinking at one end
raises the opposite end of the building. He
says the tile floor is poorly laid with poor
quality of cement, and maintains that the
building needs complete oyerhauling.

Manager Merrill PROSTATE.

MILWAUKEE, March at is rumored that
General Manager S. S. Merrill, of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee 81 St. Paul railroad, las had a
stroke Of paralysis and will leave in few
days for Florida. Information received from
private sources is to the effect that he may
never be able to take up his work again, and
in an interview tonight, Alexander Mitchell,
president of the road, said Mr.. Merrill was
suffering only from numbness in the right
leg, which he did not consider very serious.
It is thought the trouble was caused by over
work, congestion of the stomach and anxiety.
The numbness extended no farther than
through the right leg, and it is thought q
southern climate will do him good.

The London papers can, under no circum-
stances, be circulated formaOs within any radius
reached by the New York papers, and the
New York papers viii never be bought for
their ne0s within the radius of the western
cities named.
The whole scheme is an effort on the part
of the leading cities to curtail the rural press,
and is confession of sensitiveness and
weakness which is surprising to see exhib-
tied. As there is little danger of the bill be-
coming a law, it scarcely needs very serious
consideration.

Telegranhers Dissatisfied.

GALVESTON, Texas, March 2.-The report
ed strike among the telegraph operators at
Galveston yesterday is incorrect. The re-
port, perhaps, grows out of the fact that seven
operators resigned on Friday, owing to the
order of restricting the extra pay to twenty
per cent. OF the regular salaries, regardless of
the amount Of time put in, and taking from
number of the men ten dollars month,
which they have been receiving regularly
but nominally as extra.

THE United States senate very quietly passed
the house bill last week repeating the test oath.
Thus one Of the last vestiges of war legislation
was obliterated. Even John Sherman kept quiet,
and not stalwart lifted up his voice or placed
his vote against repeal. This is rather peculiar,
as there are among the senators several candi-
ates for president. The bloody shirt outrages are
something that can be used as deception and
dressed up to order, but this was matter OF law
only, and the Republicans did not want to talk
about it. But no matter what the motive, just
