opeclSl 10 the GLOBE.
CINNABAR, Mont, Aug. 1.-The sixth
day OF the Jobbers' excursion opened
brightly as the train pulled into Livingston
at a. m. Breakfast being over delay OF
one hour was made, allowing the boys to
IeaVe the car and sniff the cool breezes from
snoW-capped mountains in sight Ladies
Vi the town were at the station on horses.
After music by theGreatW estern the sneciaI
artist photographed the ladies and our iolIv
Jo0berS. The next exhibition was a race Of
mile stretch between the ladies for
badge emitting the winner to a commit
mentary membership of the JObbers' union
excursion. The race was an exciting one.
The winner was Mrs. George Greer. who
was greeted with applause. A song by
Harry Drake closed the program. The
train then made quick run to Cinnabar,
where the party left in stages for the Vel
lowstOne. Nothing will be heard
from us till Sunday night, on
our return to this point. Every
member found the GLOBE in his berth this
morning and read it before rising. The ac-
eommOdatiOns furnished by the enterprising
railroad officials who accompanied the
1obberS is matter of frequent remark
and arouse feeling of great gratitude on
the part of the jobberS. The trip is
conceded by all to be the
finest ever made by the jobbers,
and in fact superior to any ever taken in the
Northwest, including the great Willard ex-
cursion. There has not been a jar of any
kind, all passing as smoothly as marriage
ceremony. This afternoon and Sunday will
be spent i'll the park. Monday between
Billings and Glendive, Tuesday between
Bismarck and Detroit and Wednesday will
see the jobbers safely home, unless some
unfortunate accident occurs.

The representative of a leading publishing
house, dealing largely in books 'ssold by SUBJ
scription only" unbosomed himself to me
the other day concerning the habits of can
vassers. ''They are peculiar tribe of peo-
pie" he said, land, as generally speaking,
unreliable as Waterbury watch. We keep
advertisements for canvassers standing nearly
all the time, and of course u great many APP
plicants for work call on US. At this season
of the year we can secure the services of
good professional canvassers without Diff
Guilty. They come North at the beginning of
warm weather and stay until about the first
snowfall, when they go South for the winter.
They make all the way from s12 to $50 Ia week
by steady work with a popular publication,
more making Sl2 than do $50, of course.
Women sell the greater number of books in a
given time, but they rarely stay at the bust
ness long, and when they do remain ut it they
soon limit their exertions to their necessities.
We prefer men who make a business of cam
wasting and are striving to accumulate little
money for other purposes-tO go into BUSH
ness or support themselves with until they
can get some steady employment on Il salary.
Another class of canvaSsers, and very
troublesome one, too, is made up of people
who are financially stranded, and turn to cam
wasting as a last resort. Many of the appli-
cants who belong to this class do not have
enough moneJ TO leave as security for the
samples they are obliged to take, and we
never see them again. Others take the
samples, and that is the last we know of
them. They send in no orders, and perhaps
some of them are frauds. We sell the
samples at the market price, less the amount
of the commission on their sale, and one old
gentleman has a full line of our publications
which he obtained at a discount by represent
ing himself to be a cauvasser. There may be
others like hun. The majority of the
amateurs, hundreds of them in the course of
year, do nothing at all. They have the
samples out a day or two and then reclaim
their money without having made a sale.
Come in some day and look over the gang.

romances among the crowd-to say nothing

The whisky Outlook.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-The following in
terview with Charles e. Chase, a promi-
nent whisky man of Louisville, appears to-
day: There will be no further efforts to
obtain an extension of the bond period from
the government for a large percentage of
dealers and distillers are satisfied with the
present laws, and are thoroughly convinced
that to ask congress for relief will result
only in depressing trade, and making the
market lower and feverish Then, too. if
the bonded period should be extended.
distillers would be put to heavy expenses in
order to erect the required warehouses to
hold the bonded goods. L think all dis
tillers are growing satisfied with the three
years now allowed them by the revenue de-
partment. for in that length of time we find
that whisky now natures sufficiently
to be marketable. l sincerely hope
may not again infict congress
with our woes" Mr.. Chase stated that
So, 900, 900 would cover all the failures in
the trade, and that the Newcomb- Buchanan
concern was responsible for two-thirds of
this amount. The past two years de-
preston" he continued, 'has proved the
solidity of the liquor trade in general, for
very few failures have taken place, although
the losses have been heavy. The demand
for consumption, coupled with the large
amount of whisky exported, has decreased
very greatly the over production of 1872.
and at present the amount in this country
is not as large as held in many previous
years. Throughout the country, operatives
in all lines OF business who consume whisky
are more or less idle, from the closing of
mills and other suspensions of business. so
they have not money to buy liquors. The
whisky business will not revive until Their
is general change for the better" The
larger vart of the distillers believe the wor at
is over and say they see signs of higher
prices at an early date.

ton it is explained by the fact that the
home life is constant flow of companion
ship and affection rather than the eternal
reign of authority.
The ironical and often mean sarcasm
which pictures the woman of the present
as good for little except for accompanying
a Saratoga trunk on its wanderings in the
summer and for filling fashionable engage
ments in the winter is met with the state
ment that the girl of to-day, with rare ex-
ceptions, is industrious and with breadth
ofinvention and execution. There are thou
sands of girls in the cities and villages and
in the country who can go gracefully
from the silk dress and piano TO a plain
garb and to work among plants, or to the
kitchen or to mission school class. Ian
guor has ceased to be fashionable, and sleep
in the daytime not TO be endured. There
are exceptions in girls who are pleased with
nothing or nobody, who are always Just
dead with the headache, who are as averse
as mummy to any kind Of conversation or
activity, or of girls who are disobedient to-
ward parents, whose hearts are cold and
possess none of the milk of human kind
ness; girls who prefer gossip to work; girls
who talk irrationally and are always gig
Cling; silly girls. After referring to girls
of this kind, who are the exception and not
the average of condition, DR.. SWING says:
''Why should few girls of marked vanity
and of giggling tendencies cast into reproach
that multitude whose hearts are as innocent
as the June flowers and June birds? Much
of the ruin of character comes in the later
years of woman, when the imprudence of late
dancing, late suppers, and the mental anxi-
ETY. and perhaps SORROWS which come from
the vain efforts of the heart TO create par
adise Of pleasure away from duty, make
the cheeks fade early and the eye lose its
luster in the morning like a sun that goes
behind clouds before noon. As for noble
girls Of 16, the Western continent is full
of them. They are in the cities, in the viii
lagos, in the farmhouses. We meet them
on all streets, along all paths in the lonely
and lovely country. They are ready for all
duty and happiness, and constitute to all US
older and fading hearts the most beautiful
and divine scene on earth"

Crops Near Brainerd.

opecldI 10 the GIOOe.
BRAINERD, Mimi, Aug. There is
some little apprehension in this vicinity
concerning the safety of the crops, owing
to the recent frequent heavy rains, accom-
panied by extremely hot and sultry weather.
However, the most reliable reports to be
obtained from the farmers indicate that as
yet no serious damage has been done and
good average yields are counted on in every
direction. Crow Wing county and vicinity
is troubled very little by the storms which
caused such havoc further west. The light
sandy character of the soil, too, is a decided
advantage in wet season. Grain gener-
ally is in excellent condition aud the pros
pect for good yield is good

RIEL CONVICTED.

The conviction of RIEL and the prompt
sentence of execution will be matters of
surprise to a good many people. who be-
lieved that the jury would hang or that he
would be acquitted on the insanity plea.
That RIEL's offense was capital crime i'm
the eyes of the law is admitted. But there
were so many eXtenuating circumstances
connected with his rebellion that the belief
had gained ground that the unstrained quail
ity of mercy would enter as a determining
factor in the decision of his case. The I'M
Just treatment that the half-breeds had been
subjected TO, the impulsive nature of the
rebel chieftain, the influences which
had been brought to bear to Sc
duce him into rebellion, the appar-
entity unbalanced condition of his mind
all these things were expected to
be weighed in behalf of the prisoner
and, if not to avert, they were expected 10
be at least sufficient to mitigate the SEN
tence of the law. But with characteristic
British firmness and devotion to the forms
of law. the court and jury dealt out inflex-
IDLE justice untempered by sentimentality.
1t is possible that RIEL is insane. 1t was
just as possible that GUITEAU was insane.
but 20 one dared to raise voice in his be-
half. His insanity was of that kind which
made his taking off desirable. The Cana
dian people will be disposed to regard RIEL's
lunacy in the same light. The insanity
which leads to murder is the most to be
dreaded. and when it takes the form of
treason and levying war against the consti-
tuted authorities it must be dealt with the
same as sane criminality. If RIEL has been
feigning insanity he would do credit to him
self TO throw the cloak aside and stand be-
fore the world as a martyr. Death is to be
his portion and he ought to meet it like a
hero.

Cold Day for Cattle Kings.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. There is great
danger of grass growing in the great pOlit-
zeal highway between the great Northwest
and the capital of the nation. 1t seems to
be pretty well understood that the presi-
dent has put down the brakes. preparatory
to his departure on his sad erTand to New
York, whence he will not return until after
his tour in the woods III the
Northern part of the state. Hence
the visits of the Northwestern politicians
are like the visits of the angels, and the food
of those who were here is little else but
bread and water. Indeed, if it was not for
the advent of the cattle kings, bent on hav-
ing it out with the administration on the
subject of Indian land leases, Washington
might be said to be free from all Western
delegations. These monarchs of the cattle
trail arrived this morning. They announce it
TO be their intention TO interview the president
and Mr.. Lamar and to do their level best to
secure modification of the recent order
for the transfer of cattle from the Indian
lands. Their plea is to be that the expense
OF immediate removal will be greater than
they can bear and their cry will be for more
time. The first thing they encountered on
their arrival was the decision made public
to-day, declaring all Indian land leases in
valid unless sanctioned by congress. This
opinion was made public to-day. All the
comfort the cattle kings pretend to get
from it is the satisfaction of knowing that
the question of Indian lands is
fresh in the minds of the ADMINISTRATION,
and that they will not, therefore, be open
ing an entirely new line of thought Post
master General Villas says he will return to
Washington directly after the Grant
funeral, but that he will stay here only
few days, as he hopes to be at his home on
Aug. 30. The story that Gen. Villas is TO
be asked to be the orator of the day on the
occasion of the Grant memorial day in con-
gress next winter, can be set down as with
out foundation. If the persuasion of
multitude can bring it about, Roscoe
Conkling will be that orator.

TIE GLOBE commends the mayor for the
display of backbone in enforcing the law
against Sunday saloons. The only way to
havo good municipal government is to en-
force the municipal laws. There is no ex-
cuse for any one class enjoying privileges in
open violation OF law while the laws are be-
ing enforced against other classes All
should fare alike. Whatever religious or sec
tartan views we may have, or whether we
have any AT all or not, the fact remains that
the Christian Sabbath is part of our Amer
lean institutions and our laws make it's OBJ
servance u test OF good citizenship. In this
connection the GLOBE takes the liberty TO ex-
press its qualification upon the recent evil
dences OF a determination on the part of the
police department to crush out lswlessness
and vice and TO uphold the majesty OF our
municipal law.
