CREMATORY REFORM.

Cremationists have advocated the theory
of burning the dead upon the double ground
thatit is an essential sanitary measure and
that it will do away with the ostentatious
extravaganza of modern funerals. Since
the death of Mrs. VANDERBILT, as the re-
suit of exposure at the grave of a near rel
alive, the incinerationists have used her
fate as additional argument in favor of
their position, as it illustrates the danger of
the custom which requires near friends of
a deceased person to be present in the GEM
etery at the burial, however inclement the
weather. The advocates of cremation re-
gard the resolution of the body into its
original dust by the agency of fire as less
repulsive than the putrefaction of natural
decay. They expect by decentralization of
their new system of incinerating the body
instead Of burying it to perfect a reform in
funeral customs by doing away with the
evil of extravagant funerals and bringing
them into direct confor nifty with good
taste. Now, they urge, it is more pleasant

WOMEN In A WRANGLE.
Julia Ward Howe Burning the Eek
position With q High Hand.


Special to the Globe.
New ORLEANS, May 14.-The women's
department of the Worlds exposition here
has, from the beginning, been the source
and scene Of much heart-burning and bick-
ering among the gentler sex and in not a
few cases they have almost come to blows
over their feuds. A day or two ago
Mrs. Marion Mcbride of Boston, who
had in the early days Of the exposition been
appointed chief of the press bureau of the
womens' department by Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, but who had never presented herself
for the discharge of the duties of the posi-
ton, appeared here and demanded the
Office. Mrs Howe, chief of the women's
the last days of the exposition and ap-
sustained Mrs. Howe and re-
jected the claims of Mrs. Nc
Bride This was the end of that
controversy but another one has broken out
ON the heels of it. Mrs. Augustus Wilson,
lady commissioner for the state of Kansas,
was duly appointed and commissioned by
Gov. Click, who was then the executive of
the state, but is so no longer, having
served out his term. Mrs. Wilson has
been acting all the time in charge of the
women's department for Kansas, but
recently Mrs. Howe, chief of the women's
department., had some trouble with her and
excluded her from the weekly meetings of
the lady commissioners. Hon. Frank
Bacon, United States commissioner for
Kansas, appealed to the exposition board
of management for settlement
of the case and the board declared Mrs.
Wilson entitled to representation in the
women's department., and sent notifca-
ton to Mrs. Howe to that effect. To-day
the meeting of the women's commissioners
took place, when Mrs. Howe excluded Mrs.
Wilson from the meeting again, in defiance
of the authority of the board of managers.
The board, it is understood, will vindicate
its authority, and lively rumpus in the
women's department is looked for.

that the foreclosure proceedings were not
instituted in good faith, but to force the

Behavior of a Rejected Lover.

From the London Standard.
The situation of man who has been
winged is much better than that of a
girl under the same circumstances. At first
he takes it very hard. He rails against
marriage, sneerS at women in general and
becomes for the time being second Diog-
enes. Ere many months have elapsed he
energies from his tub and his sulky fit. He
now begins to realize that he is ''interest-
ing" A halo of romance encircleS him;
others may bear away the palm in litela-
ture, science, or art, but there ere some
kind souls by whom the detected hero is at
once placed on a pedestal, owing to the
mere fact of his having been badly treated
by one of their own sex. Poor Edwin!
so clever, so amusing and broken-heartedw
says Angelina to herself. She at once sets
to work to repair the damage done by the
unappreciatiye rival. 1t is her pleasing
task to guide the wounded spirit through
the successive stages of pique. cynioism, de-
sire for sympathy, and platonic friendship;
until Edwin is gently but firmly led to the
altar before he well knows where he is.
Sometimes. however, the young man is too
wide awake for this, and while making a
very good thing out of his broken heart, he
prefers cOnfiding his sorrows to more than
one Angelina, deity ''sheering off, when
pity is becoming inconveniently like love.
Thus one disappointment may prove a
foundation for many tiirtations, and Edwin
consoles himself, and is consoled, by an
ever varying procession of good Samaritans,
till at last he really forgets how it all began,
who Tilted him and whom he Tilted. He
has the proud satisfaction of feeling that he
has amply avenged his wrongs by the num-
Der of blighted beings whom he has
winged" in his turn, continues his tri-
umphal progress until it is brought to a
close by well-dowered widow in the
'sroaring forties," from whom he fails to
escape, and finally settles down to ''peace
with honor" and comfortable income.

Agricultural Suggestions.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-The monthly
statistical publication of the agricultural
department for May, which will be issued
within two OF three days, contains COM
prehensive statement of the wages paid to
farm laborers in all parts of the country,
based upon what Mr.. Dodge, the statis
tician of the department, believes to be en-
tirely trustworthy data: Eastern states,
$3.50; Middle states, $3.50; Southern
states, $14.27; Western states, S22.26;
California, $3s.75. The amount of labor
seeking employment in agriculture at
the present time is unusually large,
yet there are many localities
in almost every section of the country in
which there is more or less complaint of
scarcity. The report closes with the prac
tical suggestion that in the manufacturing
towns and cities offices will be
opened by the labor unions or by
benevolent citizens through which commu-
nication may be opened between unem-
ployed city workmen and farmers needing
help, so that a reputable and worthy la
borer may have the means of making known
his true character instead of starting out on
foot at a venture, subject to the risk of be-
ing mistaken for professional tramps.

MAJOR NEwsON,s PLUM.

Without any knowledge on his part of
the compliment bestowed upon him, Maj. T..
M. NEwsoN of this city was surprised to-
learn that number of his old friends had
prepared and signed petition asking the
president to appoint him to the position OF
resident consul at Calcutta, India. The
petition is signed by seventeen of the oldest
representative Democrats of this city and
five prominent Republicans, including Gov.
HUBBARD and ex-Secretary RAMSEY.
This was very pretty compliment, as it
was deserving one, to Maj. NEwsoN, who
is the pioneer editor of the state. Always
taking an active interest in political mat
tiers, he has never been politician in
the ordinary sense. AS a journalist he has
spent over thirty years of his life in devel-
oping and advancing the commercial, MAJ
terial and business interests of the North
west. He is conservative on all public
questions, has good war record, and, ii
appointed to this or any other position, will
reflect credit upon the state of Minnesota
and the country at large.

MUS RIDICULOUS.

The mountain has labored with the usual
result. A mouse has been born, and a very
ShOrt-tailed one at that. The grand jury
concluded its labors yesterday, and with
its final report presents resolution, unan-
imOusly adopted by that body, which APP
pears elsewhere in this mornings GLOBE.
1t is qualification to our citizens to know
that the smelling committee, appointed by
the grand jury to look into the sanitary con-
dition of the city offices, reports that every
thing is in tip-top style, no foul stenches, no
official impurities, and finds nothing but the
pure, sweet, healthful conditions which al
ways exist when the Democratic party is in
power, and has control of a city, state or
national government. The verdict rendered
by the people on the first Tuesday in this
month was of itself sufficient eXoneration
of the Democratic officials of this city. Yet
the confrmatory verdict of the grand jury
will only help to make the matter a little
clearer to some people over whose eyes the
wool had been pulled.

CROP REPORTS.

From the crop reports gathered by the
Omaha, with the characteristic enterprise
of that company, it would seem that no
material damage has been done by recent
frosts. But, singular as it may seem, some
seed has been blown out of the ground by
recent high winds. Farmers long that
line have also shown their sound sense by
sowing largely Of flax, which is sure and
a profitable crop. By thus diversifying
their production they are not at the mercy
of single cereal. And it is also a matter
for congratulation that they are preparing
for an increased acreage of corn. This will
tend to develop the stock industry. For
this purpose it is not necessary that corn
shall attain the stalwart and mature growth
of such states as Illinois, Iowa and Mis-
souri,. If it only reaches the fodder stage
it will subserve the purpose OF sustaining
stock in the long winter months. The
farmers along the line Of the Omaha are
wise in their day and generation, and their
more northern brethren in Minnesota and
Dakota will do well to emulate their exam
pie.

WHAT is right is right and what is wrong is
wrong. If it be true that President CLEvE-
LAND has appointed CHARLES L. WILLIAMS
as United States marshal for the Southern
district of Iowa upon the recommendation of
Secretary WHITNEY and Banker CLEWs Of
New York, and in opposition to the unani-
nous will Of the Iowa Democracy, then the
president has done very reprehensible
thing and ought to be criticised. The country
is disposed to back the president in all of his
sturdy efforts to enforce reform in the civil
service. But an appointment of this kline is
entirely out of the line of civil service re-
form. The Office of United States marshal is
an important one to any state. The incum-
bent is brought in direct contact with the
people of the state, and they should have
some voice in naming the man who is to fill
the Office. At least, their wishes should be
consulted. Democracy means home rule, and
under Democratic administration Secretary
WHITNEY, nor secretary anybody else, has
any right to parcel out the offices to the
various states.

GAMBLERS CAPTURE A PAPER.
How the Louisville Commercial
was NuZZled.


Special to the Globe.
LoUIsvILLE, KY, May 14.-The bubble
has burst upon municipal sensation that has
been smoldering for long time, and which
the good people of the city have contem-
plated with much anxiety. Mr.. Biddleman
Dupont is large owner of stock in the
Central Passenger Street rail-
road, and president of that corpor-
alton. He is also owner of a
majority of stock in the Louisville Daily
Commercial. Some weeks ago the Com
mercial made a savage attack on the gam
bling fraternity, and by hard gouging and
loud exposures compelled the city and state
authorities to take hold of this class and
cause it to cease existing, since which time
faro, keno, roulette and poker have been
perfectly silent Dick Watts is council
man from the Fourth ward and
large stakeholder in the
keno and faro business, and the
actions of the Commercial has been very
detrimental to the latters profession.
Some weeks after the gambling houses were
closed, the city council was applied to by
both the Louisville City Railroad company
and the Central Passenger Railroad com
pany for the right of way on Chestnut
street from Sixth to Twenty-eighth street,
and much to the surprise of everybody, Mr..
Watts, whose private business had been
downed by Mr.. Dumont's paper, was the
champion of Mr.. Dupont's railroad
in the lower board of the COM
mon council. This was puzzle
for people well acquainted with the men
and the facts, but now comes the milk in
the cOcoanut. Among the Commercials
writers who were active in exposing the
gamblers and causing them to be shut down
on were Mr.. Young E. Allison, an editorial
writer, and Mr.. George W. Smith, a
local. Both were very severe in
their exposures and their work was death
to the gamblers. To-day both Allison and
Smith were informed that their services
were no longer required by the Commercial
and tonight it is plain to see that King
Faro and his first lieutenants will son be in
the field again with the mutual consent of
our good-hearted and kindly disposed Off
Gals. The public expression and belief is
that Mr.. Dupont has muzzled the Com
mercial in compensation for what the
gambler, Watts, has done for the Central
Passenger Railroad company.

To Avoid LITIGATION.

1t is stated that the Pullman Palace Car
company is buying Central Transportation
company stock to avoid litigation. The po-
sition of the Central Transportation COM
pany seems to be somewhat anomalous,
and the litigation, if any should be had,
will turn upon the query whether the Pull
man guarantee of IL per cent. on the par
value of the shares was to hold good for
ninety-nine years, OF whether it was
to expire when the rights held by the Cen
trail Transportation company for placing
parlor and sleeping cars on the Pennsyl-
vania road should expire. Those well in
formed say that the Central Transportation
company claim that the Pullman Car COM
pany rented the properties of the Central
Transportation company for ninety-nine
years from 1870 for an annual rental of
1864, 900, which is equivalent to IL per
cent. ON the capital of Ss44, 900 shares of $50
each. This, if correct, should make good
case against the Pullman company, which,
being rich, could readily be made to pay its
obligations.

IN THE NORTHWEST.

The latest phase of the REL rebellion is
that the half-breeds. who had been led into
armed opposition by overpersuasion or forced
in by RIEL and DUMoNT, are srrrendering
themselves to Gen. MIDDLETON. The re-
port that RIEL had gone down the river is
not entertained as true. The theory is that
he is lodging and that the government
doesn't desire toefect his capture for fear
of raising the embarrassing question of
what should be done with him. If the In
dams are impelled by the force of circum-
stances foreman quietly upon their re-
serves, theFebellion may be practically at
an end, provided full amnestyis granted to
the halfsbreeds who nave been engaged in
hostilities and the commission does its pc
feet workdn adjusting their grievances, as
suggested in the GLOBE of yesterday
morning. If the Sir JOHN government
acts wisely now it may accomplish what
hardly seemed possible week ago. Taking
the situation as it now is it certainly is seri-
GUS enough for the Northwest territories
without further complications. No crops
can be raised this year in the Saskatchewan
valley The season is short at best, and this
year it has been late there as here. While
some ground has been prepared for seeding,
the bulk Of it has not been, and it is now
too late to seed what is prepared. There is
nothing left the government but to deal
leniently with the breeds, and see that the
settlers do not suffer from the faults
of the authorities, which are
wholly responsible for the rebellion.
The settlers should not only be compensated
for their losses, but they should be supplied
with the necessarzes of life from the govern
ment stores until the next season. And
such Indians as have not committed atroci-
ties against humanity should be better pro-
I'd for than they have been in the past.

CARR f..

In her face there turks the shadow
OF dull pain, tho still she smiles;
And the wasting shaft of sorrow
Wears the breast it yet beguiles.
What is mirth, with care embitter'd,
But the Holy Martyrs woe,
Or the false mirage of desert,
Where the beck ming waters flow?
There are spectres in the darkness,
But they flee the light of day;
So, tho brewing fears be threatning,
Brave hearts ne'er shall court dismay
Tho thy ship be dash'd to splinters,
And thou seest no welcome sail,
Watch and wait, in prayerful silence,
Thy stout trustings ne'er shall fail.
Heed no voice of demons lurking,
Keep thy soul from broodings free,
Then the world must cease rebuking,
And thy rest shall honest be.

Act and Vote the other Way.

st. Peter Journal.
After putting forth all the power at it's
command, the Pioneer Press feels sore and
cross at its defeat last Tuesday. To attempt
the defeat of Edmund Rice-a founder Of the
city of st. Paul, and man whose soul is
wrapped up in that city's welfare-was an
unwise act ON the part OF the P. P. Property
owners, manufacturers, capitalists and work
ingmen have implicit confidence in Mr.. Rice;
to ask them to vote against him was equiva-
lent to asking them to vote against their
friend and their interests. 1t seems as If the
people had about made up their mind to act
and vote the other way from whatever ad-
vised by the Pioneer Press.

The Milwaukee AppOin TIM ents.
Chicago Herald.
George H. Paul, who has been appointed
postmaster at Milwaukee, is one of the best
known educators, journalists and politicians
in the state of Wisconsin. Originally a
schoolmaster, he eventually became an edi-
tor and publisher, but being interested in
other business ventures he abandoned news
paper making in 1874, and with the exception of
term as state senator he has taken no con-
spicuous part in politics for ten years.
Henry @. Payne, who is removed as an often
sive partisan, is one of the brightest and
liveliest political managers in the West. IN
der his active manipulation Milwaukee,
which used to be safely Democratic on all Oc-
casiOns, has become more or less doubtful in
politics, and it is now for the first time in
years represented in congress by a Republic
can. The appointment of Edward c. Wall as
collector of internal revenue in the same city
puts the Democratic counterpart of Payne
in Office The new officials are competent
men, but they will have a struggle with them
selves to keep from becoming quite as active
party workers as their predecessors were.

by the rebellion in the way of retarding de-
velopment not only, but in discouraging
immigration. Reports of the rebellion have
reached the country whence these terrific
tories have in the past drawn immigration,
and it viii be years before confidence can
be restored in the stability of the territorial
government and the safety of settlers in
that section. While all of this is greatly to
the advantage of our own Northwest, we
