The Advent nIission.

ALI the services yesterday at the Church
of the Good Shepherd were we'll attended.
The regular missioners, Rev. Messrs.
Graves and Gilfllan, were the speakers at
the evening service, their subject being
He'll and Heaven: Rewards Here and Here
after. Mr.. Giltillan said that both heaven
and hell have their beginnings in this
world; the one in pursuit of sin and selfish
ness and the other in remuneration of self
and love for Christ. The idea of hell was
given not as place of bodily torment, but
of the endless despair and remorse which
souls will suffer on finding themselves
eternally shut out from the presence Of
God Mr.. Graves took up the hopeful side
of the subject and appealed to his hearers
in most earnest manner to become familiar
with the promises of Scripture, which will
sustain and encourage them through all the
vicissitudes of life. To-day's services are:
Holy communion, a. M: mathis, 9 a. m;
afternoon service, $3.50 p. M; evening
mission service. 7:30 p. m. The afternoon
service is intended for children in particu-
lar. Mr.. Giltillan, who has spent many
years on the White Earth reservation, will
give an interesting account of his exper-
fence among the Indians. The subject an
nounced for the evening is Spiritual, or
Christian Life; Hindrances to 1t, Possible
ties of It, The regular missioners and Mr..
Chandler will be the speakers. e@Ea

HARMLESS SHOOTING.

The Pioneer Press finds that Commits
sioner SPARKS is an India rubber sort of a
man. The more it tries to jump ON him
the more it is hurt by the rebound. 1t has
been long time since the country has had
an official at the head of the land office who
had the courage to grapple with the land
rings and the ability to throttle them. But
Commissioner SPARKS is proving himself
equal to the occasion. 1t makes no differ
ence to the country if he is crank, OF
what else, so long as he pursues the
courageous course he is now pursuing.
Now that he has made public the in
famous corruption of the land depart
ment, the rings will make an effort to
have him bounced from Office. There
is one eonsoling reflection, however,
President CLEVELAND has the power of
removal. And, so far as courage and hon
esty go, he is a man after SPARKS own
heart. 1t will be very cold day and at a
late hour in the evening when President
CLEVELAND bounces a man for standing
between the people and an organized band
of land robbers. In fact, the president is
now ON the lookout for some more men of
SPARKS metal, to put in charge of the va
rious departments of the government. The
newspapers which are doing battle for the
land syndicates are only wasting ammuni-
ton when they fire at SPARKS.

LOGAN DECLINES.

The unanimity of the Republican sena-
torial caucus yesterday afternoon was too
overwhelming for Gen. LOGAN to stand up
nnder. The unanimous part of it was what
probably defeated the end in view. The
senators who had laid the deep scheme to
shelve the Illinois senator overlooked the
fact that Gen. LOGAN has wife who has
never been checkmated in a movement on
the political chess-board. 1t is possible that
her quick perception first penetrated the
guise of the senatorial scheme by which,
under pretense of comforting dis
tinguished honor on her husband,
it was proposed to place the
general in a position where he
could only be figure head and be entirely
deprived of all opportunity to work his
presidential boom. Whether LOGAN OR his
wife first made the discovery, it must be
admitted that he came out with flying col
ors He not only captured the enemy's
battery, but he turned the guns on the de-
feated foe. The senators who had planned
to put their rival for the presidential NOM
nation in his political death-b bed must have
feltrather cheap when they found themselves
suspended from the very gallOws they had
erected for this modern MoRDECAI. 1t
was nice piece of satire on the part OF
Gen. LOGAN when he rebuked the SEN
ators for rendering him a position for which
when he had been candidate before the
people he had been rejected. And then
when they saw him add to his shock of
fame the sheaf of modesty, virtue he had
never been suspected of possessing, how
their hearts must have burned within them.
Taking it altogether, Gen. LOGAN made the
best electioneering speech of his life yester-
day. He has elevated himself ten-fold in
public estimation above what would have
been thought of him if he had accepted the
nomination, And he has shown qualities
of Shrewlness and quick discernment above
what was supposed he was capable of show
ing. LOGAN may be little faulty in his
grammar, but when it comes to an cleo
tioneering dodge he is as learned as the
most erudite of them.

A Bad Man i'm Minneapolis.


A few weeks ago two burglars named
Mitchell and Barto broke Jail in La Crosse
and the authorities there offered $500 re-
ward for their capture. Last evening
Mitchell was arrested in Minneapolis. His
photograph had been placed in the rogues'
gallery in police headquarters for the in
spection of the police. 1t was suspected
that he would turn up here, because Mime
apolis was his home last summer. In fact
he was one of the most Jealous searchers
for the bodies of the Rand
family, drowned at Lake Mime
tonka. 1t so happened that Officer
Krumweide called at Charles Moths room
great wrestler and to look at pictures.
Mitchell was there and Krumweide recog-
nized him and at once reported to Chief
West, who took Detective Quinlan and at
once repaired to the room. AS soon as the
officer appeared. Mitchell pulled large
Colts navy revolver, "A callbre and foot
long, and covering the officers kept them at
bay for forty-five minutes. Finally, after
deal of coaXing, he was induced to walk
down to police headquarters to talk
the matter over. He, however, kept
the revolver on his arm, ready for instant
use. Before reaching the city hall he
made sudden break to run, but Officer
Malone was watching him narrowly and an
ticipated the movement. Malone sprang
upon him and succeeded in holding him I'M

his identity. He blames Moth. claiming
that the latter informed the police, but
Moth knew nothing of the affair. Mitchell

which is only the initial trial of strength.
But the combination now formed
will continue to be cemented until it devel-
ops into political organization as firm as
the rock of Gibraltar and against which the
waves of Liberalism may dash forever with
out producing any effect. Although the
Liberal party may pull through this election
by the skin of its teeth. its success, if it
can be dignified with that name, will be
due entirely to the personality of GLAD
STONE. The old man is stronger than his
party, and it has only been by most per-
slstent individual effort and by assuming
personal leadership of the canvass that he
has saved his party from overwhelming de-
feat. If the Liberals are in the majority
in the next parliament they will have
learned valuable lesson from this election,
and if they are wise they will profit by it.

NOVEMBER STORMS,

The special bulletin issued by the signal
Office at Washington shows that, while the
temperature for November remained nearly
normal Throughout the entire United States,
the month was remarkable for the num-
Der of storms and their peculiar courses.
The storms principally originated in the
South and Southwest, and. travelling north
at slow pace for certain distance, would
suddenly veer to the northeast and then
move rapidly until eliminating in gales OF
hurricanes on the Atlantic coast. Such was
the course of the storm which originated on
the 18th day of November in the central por-
ton of the Indian Territory, which
moved slowly northerly until it
reached Iowa, when it changed its course
northeasterly and swept over the upper-lake
region on the 18th, accompanied by high
winds, rain and SNOW. And the same
course was pursued by the storm which
started in the Missouri valley on the 18th,
and was followed by cold wave which
caused ''Norther' in the Western states
and territories, and which extended to
Texas. This cold wave worked its way
eastward, causing killing frosts in Alabama
and Georgia. This was followed by another
storm on the nth, which also originated in
the Missouri valley and moved northeasterly
until it disappeared off the New England
coast on the 10Th. This storm was also fol-
lowed by cold wave extending as far
south as South Carolina and brought
the first killing frosts ON the South Atlantic
coast According to Gen. HAzEN's report
the most destructive storm during the month
and which acted in very peculiar manner
upon reaching the Atlantic coast developed
in Western Kansas On the 31st. 1t first

WILKES BOOTHS WIDOW.
What She Has to Say About the As
saSsin's Death.

SdSSlN'S DeaShs
Specialto the Globe.
BosToN, Dec 4.-Several weeks ago an
item appeared in the Herald relative to some
person in Birmingham, Ala, who had
written book in which he attempted to
show that John Wilkes Booth, the assassin
of Pres ident Lincoln, was still alive. 1t is
not generally known that Booth, at the time
of his death, left widow and two children,
yet such appears to be the fact. A gentle
man in this city, who is we'll acquainted
with the widow of Booth, recently addressed
her letter inclosing the Herald paragraph,
and suggesting that anything she might
write in relation to it might prove interest
ing to the public. Subsequently the gentle
man received reply from the widow in
which she makes the following statement:
San item in the Boston Herald has just
come to my notice of some man unknown
in Birmingham, Ala, who has desire 70
resurrect John Wilkes Booth, dead: L.
myself, saw him buried and examined MS
BODY before it was laid in its last resting
place. He carried marks upon his body
known only to his family and most intimate
friends. and all these marks were identified
by his family. Although not generally
known, J. W. Booth left a family. a wife
and two children-a daughter
and son-now grown to woman
hood and manhood. This family
has lived in seclusion and under false
name for twenty years. For these innocent
ones sake let their dead alone and let them
sorrow in peace. beg for the sake of the
Booth family now mourning over the death
of j. Wilkes Booth that the public will
show some little charity and leave the
wrongs that some one has done in the
hands of higher power Who, in His own
good time. will make all things right. Let
the dead rest for the sake of the living and

correctness of the Chicago dispatch purport-
ing to give the composition of the league
for the next year. and says that the COM
mittee having that matter in charge has

PRESIDENT sPALDING AUTHORITY.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-Regarding the state
ment of President Soden of the Boston
base ball club that the league committee
had not yet decided upon the changes for
the next season as detailed in these dis
patches last night, it is true that no such
decision had been officially announced. but
A. G. Spalding, president of the Chicago
club and chairman of the committee re-
ferred to, is authority for the statements
contained in last nights Associated Press
dispatches. The official announcement will
probably reach Boston in few days.

OFFICIAL COURTESY.

Ex-President HAYES made personal
appeal to President CLEVELAND to retain
in Office postmaster at small town in
West Virginia on the score of personal
friendship. Mr.. CLEVELAND expressed
willingness to respect the wishes of a pred
eceSsor in Office in so small a matter. but
when he came to inquire into the matter
and found that the people of the community
desired that the official should be removed,
the president very wisely determined to re-
spect the popular will, even though it was
to be done at the sacrifice of official courtesy.
1t was a very small thing of Mr.. HAYES
to make request of this kind. The peo-
pie of the community were the ones to be
consulted, and ha ought to have learned
that much during the four years he occu-
pied Mr.. TILDEN's place in Washington.
But Mr.. HAYES is small man, anyway,
and this act was in keeping with the rest of
his public career.

cH1cAGo,s GREAT PROBLEM,

A sensational story comes from Chicago
in our Associated Press dispatches this
morning of Young man afflicted with
dropsy. who when tapped by the surgeon
yielded eighteen gallons of milky fluid in
twenty-seven days. The Chicago people
will not be so much interested in the details
of the surgeons skill in dissecting the drop
steal patient and then putting him together
again without any apparent danger to his
life as they will be in investigating the
causes which produce such phenomenal
conditions of the blood. The first thing
the Chicago city council will do will be to
appoint commission to visit Milwaukee to
find out what the brewers put in the beer
that is shipped to the Lake City. The
Chicago physicians seem to be little
muddled in their scientific investigations to
determine the cause of this singular condi-
ton of their patients, but our word for it,
when the facts are unraveled the response
bility will be between Milwaukee beer and
Kentucky sour mash

oReAN1zA TON OF CONGRESS.

Although congress will not assemble
until Monday the organization of the two
houses will virtually be made to-day. The
caucuses will settle the organization in adj
vance of the regular meeting. So far as the
organization of the house is concerned there
will be no contest for the speakership. Mr..
CARLISLE will be nominated without Oppo-
sition and will be elected by party vote.
The Republicans will compliment some
one of their number by caucus nominal
ton, which will entitle the nominee to the
distinction of being the recognized leader of
the minority of the floor of the house. For
the minor offices of the house of
representatives there will be con-
test. but it will be a contest Invested of
public interest. The nominees of the
Democratic caucus will be elected. But in
the senate the shoe is on the other foot.
There the Republicans will have control of
the organization, and because of the posi-
bilities which attach to the position of pre-
siding officer of the senate, public interest
will be excited to learn the result of the Re-
publican caucus tonight. If the Republican
senators have any regard for the dignity of
their body it is natural to suppose that they
would prefer to put man like EDMUNDs
in the chair. But in Difference to the will
of the party they were impelled to recognize
the claims of political mountebank whose
sole recommendation was that he was de-
feated before the people for the very place
to which he was unanimously nominated
in Republican caucus. Such is the COM
plexion Of our modern politics that the
statesman is invariably shelved to make
room for the machine boss. And the mis-
fortune is the senate of the United States is
not exempted from the influences Of this
pernicious system.

WINTER Is COME.

So long did Winter delay his coming that
his first appearance yesterday was greeted
with cordial welcome. Although he
came clothed in his cherries robes of snow
and FROST his kindly old face bore smiles
betokening the coming pleasures which are
in store for US. With each whistle of the
bleak wind in Imagination our ears caught
sounds of merry-making at the approaching
carnival, and with each snow shower that
drifted without echo to the whitening
ground whirled visions of curling Kinks and
tobogganing slides. Although he came
creeping along with tardy pace, Winter did
not come this year with his wonted sour
front and furrowed face, and though he
comes bound with frozen mantle he brings
sweet visions of mirth and scenes of delight
and gladness. There is no sullenness in
his step and no sadness in his voice. He
comes as the builder of an ice palace; there
fore we bid him welcome.

LAND COMMISSIONERS REPORT

LAND COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
The most interesting report of any of the
departments of the general government,
anu the raciest one in its developments, is
the last annual report of the commissioner
of the general land office, synopsis of
which appears In the GLOBE this morning.
The report itself is Il long story of wide
spread, persistent, public land robbery com
mitted under guise of the various forms of
public land entry. 1t is check full of in
controvertible testimony in support of the
widespread belief of the people of this
country that the land department had for
years been conducted to the advantage OF
speculation and monopoly rather than in the
public interest. As Commissioner SPARKS
says in his introduction to the report ''the
vast machinery of the land department APP
pears To have been devoted to the chief re-
suit of conveying the title of the United
States to public lands upon fraudulent entries
under strained constructions of imperfect
public land laws and upon illegal claims I'M
derpublic and private grants. And the re-
port itself is filled with facts and figures il
Illustrating the truth of these general state
mentS. As widespread as was the belief
that the land department was one vast sink
of iniquity, the public mind was not really
prepared for the magnitude and enormity
OF the startling disclosures which are
made by this report The people
had no conception of the immensely of the
fraud which was being practiced in the
most important department of the govern
ment 1t is no wonder that rumors have
been coming out from Washington for some
time that efforts were being made by some
parties to have the land commissioners re-
port held back as long as possible on ac-
count of the infammable material in it. 1t
is perfect bombshell. Nay more; it is
case of dynamite which will blow the land
rings into smithereens. The public can
now very well understand why the news
papers which are subSized by the land
rings have been laboring so hard to work up
a public sentiment against Commissioner
SPARKS. They dreaded the force of the ex-
plosion and were endeavoring to weaken its
effect by poisoning the public mind against
the official who had the honesty and ability
to ferret cut the corruption OF the land Office

course northeasterly, and in sixteen hours
had reached the Chesapeake bay. Its
movements were then very much re-
tarded, for some unknown reason, and the
center remained in the vicinity of the New

easterly winds prevailed during the time.
and the highest tides known ON the New
Jersey coast are reported to have occurred
during the prevalence of this storm. On
the Goth another storm made its appearance
in Texas and moved slowly eastward de-
veloping slightly in energy, and reached the
Atlantic coast on the 29th. Notwithstand-
ing the number and violence of the Novem-
Der storms, departure from the normal

the coast of the Atalntic states the rainfall
was from 1 to 5 inches in excess of the
average, while in the Ohio valley and the
upper Mississippi the defci ency has been
