WORK ON WATERWAYS.

A concise report of the work done on
Northwestern waterways during the past
year published in yesterdays GLOBE shows
that the light work during the past year
was owing to the lack of appropriations
AS will be seen by examining the summar-
les furnished the GLOBE by both Mai.
MACKENZIE, who has charge of the river
improvement from ST. Paul southwark to
Des Moines rapids, and by Maj. ALLEN,
who is in charge of the upper waters i'm
provement. tine appropriations that were
available We're judieiously expended,
and the improvements that have been
made are valuable In view of the neces-
sity for making still further improvements
the GLOBE calls the attention of our SEN
ators and representatives IN congress to this
matter and urges upon them the importance
of pressing the subject upon the attention of
congress in order that more liberal appro-
priations may be secured for the ensuing
year. According to Maj. ALIENS esti-
mate it will require only an additional
$3.50, 900 to complete the improvement of
the Duluth harbor, and S200.000 for the
harbor of Superior. On the Red
River improvement only $4,000 is
asked for to complete the improvement
from Breckenridge to Pembina. 1t seems
that there ought to be no difficulty IN Sc
curing the comparatively small appropria-
tons for these and the other improvements
referred to in the reports of both Majs.

THE osTRICH-LIKE SENATE.

There is something very ludicrous in the
senate's recent action, gravely resolving to
eXpunge from the Congressional Record all
mention of the late dsgraceful debate con-
corning drinking in the senate. 1t would
seem that body of men as intelligent as
the United States senate would have done
the necessary thinking beforehand and re-
Trained from such statements as those made
by several of the dignifed gentlemen re-
garding the impossibility OF calling quo
rum on several occasions, because quorum
was drunk. If such was the lamentable
fact. it was certainly known to the senators
principally concerned, and, therefore, there
was no necessity of publishing their shame
to the country at large. But having done
so, through the medium of every daily
newspaper in the land. it was the height of
absurdity to attempt to correct the mistake
by expunging the record. The senate
should know by sad experience that its
every action is effectually embalmed by the
press for future reference, and it should
also remember the mistaken habit which
the ostrich has of imagining itself thor
oughly concealed when its head is thrust in
the sand.

A TAX ON PIANOS.

Weimar is an important and enterpriSing
town in Germany, and, in common with
many of its sister cities, has developed the
art of music to a wonderful extent. But
there are limits even to the endurance of
the easy-going German temperament. and
Weimar has concluded that, while music is
a good thing, there may be too much of it
On this subject, having long been the re-
sort of students of the soothing art, Weimar
speaks feelingly. For long time the city
suffered patiently, but soon Wagnerian
music became the rage and then the line
was drawn. Even the most phlegmatic
nature may finally be wounded. The ear
piercing strains, like the notes of a second
rate opera chorus, smote the harmony
loving sense of the citizens of Weimar and
they rose as one man. 1t was at
once decreed that the window of every
room in which a piano was played should
be tightly closed, under pain of severe pun
ishment, and that any one desiring to give
musical entertainment should pay fine
of fifty florins. The Germans have I'M
justly been called an unprogressive nation.

AGNOsTICs CAN SWEAR.

Judge SHEPARD decided in case in the
criminal court of Chicago the other day
that an atheist could testify in court.
When the witness stated that he did not
believe in the Bible nor in God counsel
objected to the admission of his testimony
on the ground that man who does not be-
leve in the moral binding power of an oath
is not competent to testify in any court in
this country. Judge SHEPARD ruled that
under the constitution a man cannot be de-
prived of his civil rights because of his re-
ligious feelings. Heheld that the oath was
binding on the witness in spite of his nom
belief, and that he was liable to be punished
for perjury if he swore falsely. On the
theory that an agnostic could not testify
on oath man who was an uubeliever might
be waylaid by highwayman and robbed
and the robber would go unpublished be-
cause he would not be permitted to testify
against him. 1t is evident that Judge
SHEPARD has level head and disposes of
this question, which is attracting attention
in judicial circles everywhere, in way that
commends itself to people of common sense.

ST. PAUL,s CHARITIES.

In the various accounts to be found in the
GLOBE of the Christmas celebrations yes
terday, many indications are to be found
that the spirit of charity is very much alive
in St. Paul. 1t may well be doubted
whether any city in the country of the same
size shows more extended interest in the
homeless and unfortunate, and many who
would yesterday have felt their friendless
condition more acutely realized that SYM
pathetic hearts were beating in many
breasts. In their honor be it said, the
women of st. Paul were unusually active
in good works, and, though almost unaided
in their efforts, were successful in bringing
something of Christmas to great number
of people, as the newsboys, the sick, the
poor, and even the unfortunates in the jail,
can testify. But these charitable organiza-
tons are costly, and if members of the
sterner sex cannot find time to assist them
personally, they can do so in very prac-
teal manner by substantial contributions.

YESTERDAY,S 6LOBE.

Notwithstanding that we had anticipated
an unusual demand for the GLOBES man.
moth Christmas edition and had printed
several thousand more copies than even our
estimates called for, we found that by
noon yesterday the entire edition had been
exhausted, with orders in our mailing de-
partment for nearly ten thousand copies
more than we were able to supply. Fortu-
nately, however, we had preserved the
plates, and last night printed another edi-
ton of the same number. Accordingly we
will be able this morning to fill all outstand-
ing orders, and will have sufficient num-
Der III excess of the orders to meet the de-
mands of our local patrons. Persons who
desire copies of the mammoth Christmas
number will find them on sale to-day at the
GLOBES counting rooms in this city and
Minneapolis and at all the news stands and
hotels i'll both cities. Orders from news
agents throughout the Northwest will re-
ceive prompt attention and extra numbers
forwarded to them by mail or express.

YESTERDAY.

The merry Christmas greetings are over.
The family reunions have taken place. The
Christmas presents, those tender tributes of
affection and friendship, have been eX-
changed. The little stockings have been
taken down from the fresides and emptied;
the Christmas trees have been unioaded.
and the bursts of joy which resounded from
the rosy lips of sweet childhood have been
hushed. Friends have gathered around the
festive board, and after season of delight
full social communion, have separated. The
Christmas day of 1885, with its gay fes-
tivities and its delightful associations is
gone. There is nothing left but its tender
memories and pleasant recollections. But
it has done US good. 1t did us good to wit
ness the exuberant joy which the day al
ways brings to childhood. What mixture
of mirth and innocence comes with the
Christmas tide. And the day did us good
because we older ones became infected with
the spirit of the children. The day carried
us back over the pathway of life until we
stood ON the spot where the sunlight of our
early days played upon us. Christmas
makes children of us all. And then, too,
as we reflected upon the origin of the day
and contemplated the life and work of
Him whose birth was commemorated, we
drew to our own hearts the inspiration
of truth and purity. No matter what
diversity of views we hold as to the divinity
of CHRIST there is no disagreement among
us that His character was faultleSS and
that the world is better for His having lived
in it.
There is no city where the day was more
appropriately observed yesterday than in
st. Paul. The day was principally OBJ
served by holding church services and Sab
bath school festivals. There was an entire
absence of boisterousness on the streets. or
the evidences of any undue hilarity. There
was mirth, but it was within the limits of
becoming mirth. Everybody was happy,
and everybody had a reason to be happy.
The GLOBE wishes its patrons many happy
returns of the dav.

A FOOLS SUGGESTION.

If the suggestion of the London Times be
adopted and the Parnellites are expelled
from parliament and Ireland placed under
martial law, it will be the unluckiest event
for England that ever happened. Such a
course would array the sympathy of the en-
tire world on the side of Ireland and in op-
position to British tyranny. 1t is hardly
possible that the British government would
embark in such a foolhardy undertaking.
And yet in the condition of English feel
ing just now towards the victorious Par
nellites it is possible that bad counsels
may prevail unless wise leaders of the
GLADSTONE type can manage to keep the
English head cool. The fact is Great Brit
ain is in no fix to be cutting foolish didos.
There is restless element in Canada await
ing an opportunity to throw off the British
yoke. 1t is very powerful element, too,
and only needs a slight provocation to make
the break. Great Britain has pretty strong
government but it is not strong enough to
crush Ireland and the French Canadians at
the same time.

TWO TEXAS MUIR DERS.
The Work of Fiends, Who De-
serve ILynching.

Special to the Globe.
AUSTIN, Tex. Dec. 25.-About the same
time that the murder of Mrs. Sue Hancock,
wife of W. F. Hancock, a carpenter. was
attempted last night, the murder
and outrage of Mrs. Eulala Phillips
was consummated, and her husband, James
derously assaulted while the parties were
both asleep. The homes of the two fam
lilies are half mile apart, so there must
have been different parties concerned in the
outrages. There are various theories, but
no clue as yet to the guilty
persons. In the Hancock case,
robbery was evidently one motive, as trunks
were broken open and clothes taken. Mrs.
Hancock is still in an unconscious state,
and her husband, who slept in an adjoining
room, knew nothing of what happened till
he heard her grooming in the yard, where
she had been dragged from bed after being
STRUCK ON THE HEAD
with an axe and carried through his room
to the yard. She has grown daughter
and little girl IL years old, who were absent
at a party when their mother was assaulted.
Their anguish when they saw her was most
heartrending. In the other case, Mrs.
Phillips and husband were doubtless struck
senseless with an axe, the object being to
stun them. She was found dragged out Of
the house some distance in the yard in a
perfectly nude condition and had
been held down with heavy timbers
across the arms, evidently for the
purpose of outrage. She was a handsome
young woman, with one little child, which
was in bed with the parents and was nto
disturbed. There were no indications Of
robbery here, as in the Hancock case. Mr..
Phillips, ST., was asleep in another room,
but
HEARD NOTHING
till his SOIL regained consciousness and
called for his wife. Young Phillips may
recover, but there is hardly a shade W of
hope for the recovery of Mrs. Hancock.
The persons were all wounded only
in the head. One negro, Alfred Town
send, who was arrested some time
ago on suspicion of previous outrages and
discharged, was again arrested OH sus-
picion. The outrage caused a fever of ex-
element among all classes of people, white
and coIored, and in response to call OF
Mayor Robertson. there was an immense
meeting this morning at the state house.
Several speeches were made by prominent
gentlemen, including one by Mr.. Holland
(colored). One of the speakers rather
favored a vigilance committee, but the
proposition was withdrawn and commit
tee was appointed of three whites
and one colored man from each
ward to cooperate with the authorities to
secure material aid and devise the best
means of ferreting out and Furnishing the
murderers. The people are generally Of
fering them aid, and will subscribe literally
for special police and detective force.

They Tell How They Live and

Pittsburg Commercial-Gazet
Last night an unusual sight was witnessed
at the union depot, where unusual sights are
common Some six or seven blind boys were
going to Philadelphia to attend the Penn
sylvania Institute for the INDECENT Blind.
A number of friends were there to see them
off, among them some of the former gradu-
ates of the school. They chatted with each
other so pleasantly and with so much ear
nestness that such crowd gathered around
them as to force the depot police to use
their authority in dispensing it.
Among the number were Andrew Turner,
Joseph Link, Daniel Larkin, George Hayes,
William Perry and Thomas Evans. They
were all from this or the neighboring coun-
ties and most OF them were returning to the
school, They talked well and had no nesi-
fancy in conversing with any one who APP
preached them. They knew well all the
city papers and when a representative of
the Commercial Gazette spoke to one of
them he said he knew the paper well, in
fact read it every day, that is have it

the islands constitutes very important
part of the work in preserving navigable

the three reservoir dams which have been
completed in affording an adequate supply
of water to make the river navigable dur
ing the past summer is sufficient justiica-
ion of the wisdom of the government in
undertaking these improvements. Maj.
ALLEN calls particular attention to the
fact that for ten weeks nearly three-eighths
of the water flowing past st. Paul was fur
niShed by the three reservoirs.
