As was anticipated by the GLOBE, the
Northwestern problem is most seriously COM
plicated by the uprising of the FESTIVE Indians
of that section, who make the occasion of the
REL half-hreed rebellion one fitting for them
to make more exactiug demands than they
otherwise would. Many of the more turbu-
lent OF the Crees are already under arms and
on the war path, and have clearly entered
upon campaign against the settlers, in
which they VIII spare neither life nor property.
Active hostilities on the part of these
heartless savages add to the horrors of the
situation, and the advance OF heavy body
Of troops NAV have the effect to drive the
hostiles across the border into our own terri
tories and complicate the situation still
more. Should the Blackfeet generally join
the Crees and the half-breeds aud the Stouies,
they would, combined, constitute formid-
able force, and should they be forced across
the line would make US much trouble. The
Dominion government was too slow 10
act or the present problem would not
now confront the country. While Sir JOHN
aud his supporters were sitting supiuely BY,
the storm was gathering over the whole
Northwest territory, but not until /. had
burst upon the Inflated people there did they
admit the gravity OF the situation. Blood
had been she'd in sanEuinary conflict before
the SIR JONI government would admit that
the storm had any other foundation
than 6xments in the mind of
the ST. Paul newspapers. The cipher
disuatch from NoRoUAY, however, appears to
have thoroughly dispelled his delusiou and

SERVED HIM RIGHT.

The French not only want an economical
ministry but they want fighting cabinet
also. A less sen stive people than the French
would have been Disguised with the absurd
attempt at war made in Tonquin. The re-
suit of military operations against the Chi
nese, so far, has only been to bring the arms
of France into ridcule and disrepute. The
idea OF pigmy military power like China
holding out against a nation famous for its
fighting qualities like France is enough to
arouse the French people to very high
point of indign alton, and it is no surprise
that ministry which has been SO imbecile
in its conduct of the Chinese war should be
hurled from power. The only surprise is
that the FERRY ministry has not been de-
posed long ago. The French have exhibited
more patience than has usually been credited
to the impulsiye nation

THE APPoINTMENT OF PEARSON TO


No act Of the present administration will
provoke more comment and perhaps criti-
cism than the appointment Of Mr.. PEARSON
to the position of postmaster at New York.
That it will please the independent Republi-
cans is admitted. They made their fight for
recognition on this appointment, and haTing
won the fight there is no reason why they
should not be jubilant. That 1t will be a
very bitter disappointment to the BLAINE
Republicans is equally true. Not that they
claim any right to dictate, or even suggest,
an appointment, yet it has been apparent
from the tone Of the straight-out Republicans
that there has been an anxious desire TO see
very fact that he was the candidate of the
mugwumps was Of itself sufficient cause to
excite the Ill will of the Banites. But,
back of all this, they remember the
close canvass in New York last
fall and that when very small force would
have turned the scale, they called for PEAR
SON to come up to the aid of the party and he
refused to respond. Now it will be charged
by the BLAINE faction that Parsons ap-
pointmeut is the price of his treachery to the
Republican party.
There are a number Of Democrats who will
approve the stand taken by the president in
what he conceives to be proper position for
him TO occupy in relation to the civil service.
While on the other there will be quite large
Democratic element who draw their inspira-
ton, without modern sdulteration. direct
from JEFFERSON and JACKSON, that will be
disposed to criticise the president in this
matter. They viii argue that If Democratic
victory means Republican banquet then it
would be just as well to let the Republicans
spread the cloth. 1t will be very
hard to reconcile this wing of
tie Democratic party to policy
tust places the opposition in possession of
the principal fortresses.
The matter is hardly of sufficient msgui-
tude to make q row over, anu the general
feeling of the conservative people of the
country viii De that if Mr.. CLEVELAND makes
no worse breaks in his administration than
he has done in this matter the public will
congratulate itself upon the safety of public
interests in his hands. However, his future
action will be watched with more interest
than has vet been displayed, for it IS hard to
tell what new developments each day may
bring forth.

A Den Of Infamy in Wisconsin Where Chicago
Girls Are Imprisoned.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March BIN the Chicago ave
nue. police court young girl was arraigned
for disorderly conduct. Her name was Mag
gle Doyle, and her father was
the prosecutor. She was said to be
dissipated character, and her
father decided that she be sent to the house
of good shepherd, which was done. When
the girl was taken back the father turned to
policeman and told the sad story. 'In
Marnette, Wis" said he, ''there is, three
miles from town,
A DIsREPUTABLE HOUSE
kept by man named Crawford and "Bill"
Diamond, who also keep places on Washing
ington street, in Chicago. Nearly all the
inmates are no better than slaves aud belong
in Chicago. They are picked up in saloon
on Washington street by a man
who is known and who promises
to paw them $50 if they will
go to Marinette for ten days. This man gets
S25 for every girl he sends, and when the
victims get there they are told they are 500
in debt, SIS for commission and their rail-
road fare. Then their clothes are taken from
them and they are
PUT IN SHORT DRESSES.
All the letters which leave the place are ex-
amined by manager and destroyed or sent
as desired. Anout the yard and near the
building are stationed twenty-five blood
hounds, so that none of the girls can escape,
except through the front entrance,
and that is well guarded. In
case they do escape these dogs are
sent in pursuit of the fugitives, fines are also
i'm posed for trivial affairs, and one inmate
who had been there two years found herself
to be $3.50 in debt. This place is visited only
by loggers and a rough element. The girls
who once get in that place never get out I'M
less their friends accidentally learn of their

TIE electoral reform devised by NJ. FERRY,
the French ex-premier, did not serve his pur-
pose in consolidating Republicanism into a
compact unit Of political strength. His hope
was to suppress the various antagonistic fac
tons and tn us maintain his power by wiping
out those factions. The reform he con-
templated was to do away with the Scr'di's
d'a rrondisenae,h, which was similar to our
plan of congressional districts, and substitute

RED Wing, March 31.-Dr. c. n. Hewitt,

ceived the following telegram from DR.. s. H.
Durgin, president of the board of health of
Boston, to-day: GA vessel laden with jute
arrived at Salem yesterday from Calcutta.
Two deaths occurred on the passage, evil
IDENTITY from cholera. She will probably be
brought to our Boston quarantine tomorrow
for treatment" DR.. Hewitt says if the dis
ease was cholera the deaths probably occurred
carly in the voyage, and that in any event it
does not follow that the vessel brought the
infection with her to Salem. The Boston
local board of health is one of the best in the
country and may be trusted to take every
precaution in the meantime. The lesson
for the people and the boards of health to
take is thorough systematic cleaning up.

GEN. GRANTS BUSINESS FAILURE


It was most fortunate thing for Gen.
GRANT that he was enabled to give his testi-
mony in the FISH case before death overtakes
him, for his formal testimony as witness is
better form than newspaper interviews, and
his own statement of his relations with the
astonishing firm whose reckless rasealities
were not more surprising than the gullibility
Of their victim. II was in this instance, as
in so many others, Gen. GRANTS reputation
suffered because of over-con6dence in those
whom he regarded as his friends. In all his
public life he seemed to be continuously the
victim of misplaced confidence. And it was
so in his business venture. His testi-
mony reveals the utter absence of business
qualities in the old soldier. He knew
nothing of FERDINAND WARD except what he
learned through his son, FRED GRANT, and
FRED, it turns out, knew nothing OF FERDI :
NAND except what he had learned through a
brother of the eminent financier, who had
been a sort of d chum of FREDDIE.
When Gen. GRANT put 100000 into
the banking concern he supposed that
he was entering the firm as a special partner
and did not know any better until the end
came, and then he discovered the nature
and extent of the liabilities he had assumed.
The physical distress from which the general
has suffered during the last year has been
aggravated by the mental anxiety growing
out of the unfortunate business compiled
tons into which he was led by the artful
WARD. 1t was probably relief to him to
have the opportunity to put himself straight
before his countrymen. His Straightforward
evidence will confirm the public in its belief
that be had no knowledge of Wards doings,
and he himself was the victim Of conf
dence game.
