THE TERRITORIES TO HAVE THE
FILST PLUM

A Montana gentleman tells the GLOBE this
the appointment of territorial officers will be
the first thing On the calendar. 1t looks a
little hard to give the new territories prefer
ence over old settled states like Kentucky
and Missouri. But one thing must be remem-
bered, Kentucky and Missouri are provided
with good Democratic state governments
while the territories are in the hands OF a
hard lot of jobbers. For illustration there is
Montana. The Philadelphia Record the other
day, in speaking of a rumor it had heard that
President CLEVELAND intended to remove
Gov. CARPENTER and appoint in his stead
Mr. MAGlNNIs, said: ''This is a move in the
right direction. Mr.. MAGINNIs knows some
thing of Montana and has interests there.
Mr.. CARPENTER is one of the worst products
of bad political machine in New York, and
had no earthly claim upon the Republican
administration which appointed him, except
the fact that the people who knew him best
declared by majority of nearly 200, 900 that
he was not fit to hold office.'' The Record is
an independent paper and is supposed to be
free from partisan bias. While it may seem
rather cool treatment to4defer the claims of
good old Democratic states until the young
territories can be fixed up, still Kentucky and
Missouri can worry along with KNOTT and
MARMADUKE, while Montana must suffer no
longer with spewed-out New York machine
politician. The presidentis a discriminating
man and knows where and when justice
shall be DONE

IN the general din of wars and rumors of
wars, the unequal contest between 4 mere
handful of French and horde of Chinese
should not be forgotten. The French gen.
eral in command appears to be apprehensive
that he may be overlooked by the home gov
eminent, while some fifty thousand oriental
sons of Mars are devotng their special atten-
ton to him and his little command. He has
been driven back from the euphonic field Of
Dong Dang with heavy losses and is calling
right Justify for reinforccments. The faint
echoes of his despairing cries are heard In
the streets of Paris much more audibly than
they are in the gilded halls of the assembly,
or in the dim recesses of the war Office.
While the government seems slow to succor
his hard pressed forces far away at the front,
the price of securities on the Bourse is
tending downward to a degree decidedly de-
pressing to the longs in government securi-
ties The question arises in the diplomatic
mind WHY it Is that France is inclined to
NEEDLE in the affairs Of South America when
she cannot stand little reverse like that in
China without getting excited about it. The
trouble with France is that she has no NAPo-
LEON THE GREAT, to lead her in the field of
conquest, and she had better attend strictly
TO her own business and leave territorial ag-
erandizement to other and more aggressive
powers.

Granv;IIe,s Turkish Tactics.

LONDON, March go The recent meetings
of Musurus pasha, Hassan Fehmi pasha and
Earl Granville were in connection with the
Egyptian financial convention. The Turkish
government was reluctant to sign the con
vention, thinking it implied the reeogni-
ton OF the bonn bardmcut of Alexandria and
England's subsequent action in Egypt,
which were considered as opposed
to the sulian's suzreian rights
and likely to produce bad impression on
the Mussulmen. 1t is reported that Gran
vile threatened to give Musurus and Fehmi
their passports and break off diplomatic rela-
tons with Turkey unless the
sultan signed the frman for a
loan Of $4,000, 900. The sultan, it is said,
agreed to issue the frman, still refusing,
however, to sign the conven ion, but be
afterward called council of notables and
finally decided to sign the convention with
certain reservations which Granville ac-
ceDted.

Routed at Langson

PARIS, March 29.-The Chinese forces
gained victory over the French al
Langson Friday. They carried the key OF
the position and intrenchments and the
French troops have retreated beyond Dong
Dang. They are falling back on the Long
kod. The French loss in men and guns is
unknown. The Chinese, it is estimated, are
$4,000 strong. They menace the French
lines and communication with the south. 1t
is reported in Paris that Gen. Briere de Isle
asks for 90, 900 reinforcements. The French
reverses have increased the political excite
inert in Paris. The narrow majority OBJ
tanned by the government yesterday on the
vote of confidence leads TO the expectation
that the ministry will be defeated in the next
Tonquin debate and then resign. The rad
zeal and monarchist organs predict the early
fall of Premier Ferry.

LONDON, March GA dispatch from
Paris says it is officially announced that the
Chinese troops on the Tonquin frontier yes
terday made a desperate attack upon the
intrenched camp established ~ Gen. Negrier
between Langson and Kilua, and from
which Gen. Negrier has been making recon-
noissances beyond the frontier separating
Tonquin from China proper. The Chinese
drove the French back beyond Langson and
.recaptured that town. During this
series of fights Gen. Negrier was grievously
wounded and the French casualties
were very serious. The latest accounts rep
resent the French troops in full retreat with
the Chinese vigorously pursuing them. A
vast quantity of commissary and other stores
were lost. Gen. Negrier received a gunshot
wound in the chest. He was brought from
the field but recovery is doubtful The total
French loss in killed and wounded is not yet
known. Gen. Briere de Z Lisle, who is in
chief command in Tonquin, telegraphs for
assistance in an imploring tone which leads
the Parisians to expect further disasters.

SENATOR SHERMAN'S REFORM
SP4SM

AS the GLOBE indicated several days ago,
Senator JOHN SHERMAN. who was recently
converted under the reform preaching Of
| Granger VAN WICK, Is going to make an
active display of zeal in his new calling. II
| Brother SHERMAN keeps on as he has started
out at the end of his probation he will be a
shining light in the new church. In the Re-
publican senatorial caucus held in Washing
ton last Friday Mr.. SHERMAN made very
strong speech advocating the adoption OF
resolution offered By himself resembling the
order of the senate which created an amount
of junketing for committees during the re-
cess. He showed the Republican senators
that this unnecessary junketing would so
much increase the civil contingent fund as
to create scandal. He asked them what
they would say in the next campaign when
record of reform and economy in the admin
istration of public affairs, viii lie the
Republicans would have nothing in that
line to show but the record of an extrava-
CANT and needless lot of senatorial junket-
ing trips.
We are sorry to see, however. that the Re-
publican senators did not meet Brother
SHERMAN's exhortation in the spirit it de-
served. It is true that they could not entirely
resist the force of his argument and they
promised to examine the list of 800 en-
ployes around the senate chamber to see If
there could not be a reduction made. They
also promised to decline taking the BUTLER
building for committee room, and scolded
Senator JONES of Nevada for his renting of
this building. But as for Senator SHERMAN
his late Republican associates laughed him to
scorn. They tainted him with hints that
his Roman virtue was very recently acquired
Some of them wanted to know why he ddn It
begin the reform and economy when he was
in the treasury department. Others of them
went so far as to tell him the fable of the
fox and the sour grapes and to call him
sold sore head'' because be failed to get the
craftsmanship of the finance committee. It
was just shameful the way they treated
Brother SHERMAN, but he bore it with gen
uine meekness, SO much so that the humility
displayed by him and the dispostio to turn
the other cheek when the one was smitten,
gave hope to great many reformers that his
repentance is sincere and his conversion a
genuine one. While we have strong hope
of Mr.. SHERMAN, still we wouldn't advise
anybody to put up money on the permanent
change in his political morals until after the
next senatorial election. You know, Mr.
SHERMAN is mighty sick man, politically.
Gov. HOADLY is said to have an eye on
Brother SHERMAN's seat in the senate. And
HoADLY's popularity with the Buckeyes makes
SHERMAN sick
When the devil got sick
The devil saint would be;
When the devil got well
The devil saint was he.

A wELL-ADvIsED politician of the West,
who has been in Washington some months,
claims in an interview with GLOBE reporter
that the senate caucus has bestowed the
patronage of Dakota and Montana offices to
the congressional delegations from Missouri
and Kentucky. Just why the gray and
reverend seignors of that august body have
taken it upon themselves to place this gen.
erous distribution in the hands Of these
delegations doesn't appear clear to the
casual political observer. Montana has a
Democratic delegate who is certainly entitled
to have some slight hand in the allotment of
these offices. and the secretaries of the
respective departments may also have some
choice which even a senate caucus may yet
feel impelled to respect. Besides President
CLEVELAND has shown signs Of becoming con-
siderable more than a mere executive clerk.
1t is barely possible that the Democratic
senators are little fresh. Perhaps sea
voyage would tend to season their judgment
of their functions.

MIDDLETON that he must bring a large
force With him to accom- lish his mission Of
paeifeation by force of arms and that officer
is accordingly awaiting the arrival OF the
regulars from Ontario and Quebec and other
volunteers from Winnipeg and elsewhere.
The government now fully realizes the
gravity Of the situation and in addition to
the regulars already in motion, is holding
others under marching orders regardless Of
the fact tha. the most available troops for
the emergency are the volunteers in the
Northwest Although theT may not enjoy
the discipline of regulars, tber are better
adapted TO the service. Various views Of the
situation are set forth in the GLOBE specials
and in series of interviews with men who
are posted.

A SENSIBLE SORT OF Reform.

Speaking of the depletion OF the clerical
force in the various departments at Wash
ington, the Brooklyn Eagle says:
That over twenty thousand needless
idlers will be shortly retired from the Federal
service and be condemned to the civic hard
ship of earning their own living, is apparent.
That the remaining force will be required to
work about half as long as the people who dc
not hold Office may be confidently expected.
That such reform is better than any other
kind affecting the public service is unques-
tionable. 1t is exactly of the sensible sort
which Democrats would be expected to effect,
although we have no doubt that many of the
politicians on each side will agree in regard
ing It as a s'tresh'' and foolish policy, which,
nevertheless, such is the ugly honesty aud
picturesque stubbornness Of GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. will be steadily adhered to. OF the
condemnation which the opportunity and
necessity for such reform passes on Repub-
licauism, we care not to say anything. Men
pass Just comments on that without sugges-
lions from newspapers. The truth is, the
abuse is practicable on each party. when its
spells class control it, and when they eaiole
or coerce II to fcut the sentiment Of th,
people for reform. Such was the estate OF
Republieauism. That accounts for thi:
abuse, which was only one of the severa
which caused the overthrow Of that orgau-
ization.

IMPERIAL sway costs the people Of Great
Britain something. The expenditures of the
British government for the current fiscal year
ending with the present month will exceed
the receipts by 81, 5000 The war in the
Soudan is the principal cause of this deficit,
and it is estimated that for the same cause
the deficit for next year will be $50, 900, 600.
To meet the increased expenditure the
British government does not propose to dis
turb the present revenue system by levying
protective tariff, but it is proposed to add
two pence in the pound on the income tax,
which it is estimated will produce about $780,
100000 annually.
