Satansta Medicine Co., Little Rock, Ark:
Gentlemen have used your Satanic in my
family for over a year. have given it to my
little ones, as well as the grown people, and I
have never given but one dose in each case TO
cure the ehills and fever permanently. 1t is
as harmless as water, and as sure &c cure with
one dose as the summer sun is to melt ice, and
if the people of the United States were aware
OF such remedy being in Little Rock, Ark, it
would be sent out in train losds. It is certainly
the greatest remedy for ehills on earth.
Yours truly,

LEADS THE VAN

say that, of all patent medicine enterprises,
the Satanic Medicine Company of Little Rock,
leads the van. When we think of the great
good they are doing both for their hundreds OF
workmen and the millions of sick people, we
come to the conclusion that they are real ben
efaetors. It is certified to that only one dose
Of their Satanic will cure the ehllls. Those
afflicted with this tormenting malarial trouble
should come "runnin'" to our druggists for
the medicine. As far as we are concerned, we
hope their medicine will replace all others of
their kind, because the money this home firm
makes out of it will rebound to the pecuniary
interest of every citizen of Arkansas-Al1sa

New Freight Rates Wanted.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-A special meeting
Of the Chicago committee of east-bound
freight traffic was held at Joint Agent
Moore's Office yesterday. Intelligence had
been received that as local rates on freight
from st. Louis to Buffalo, added to the
local rates from Buffalo to New York, were
lower than the through rate from st. Louis
to New York by l = cents per 100 pounds,
on the basis of thirteenth class, the lines in
st. Louis had agreed to advance the rates
to Buffalo so that the through rate would
not be affected in the future. The Chicago
committee therefore agreed to ask the lines
entering Chicago from the West, as well as
the joint agents at Peoria, Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Indianapolis, to demand the fol
lowing new rates from St. Louis on busi-
ness from all Mississippi river points to
Buffalo: First class, 75c; second, 81: third,
46; fourth, 3915; fifth, 3515; sixth, 90:
seventh, 90; eighth. 2515; ninth, 2215;

named were notified of this action, which
will go into effect tomorrow on all classes,
except spelter, where the change will take
effect Jan. I.

Rid the State OF Them.
Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-In an interview
with G. W. Won Gulpin, who is in the city
as representative of the San Francisco
white cigar dealers for the purpose of Sc
curing white workmen, gives the reasons
why the Chinese are not liked by coast
workmen, and, speaking of the movements
against them, says: Things have come to
such pass that a stop must be put to their
eneroachments, OF San Francisco will soon
become a Chinese city. There are now two
movements looking to the expulsion of the
Chinese. We are going to work in a sys-
tematic manner. We propose to buy only
goods that are made by white men. In
addition to this movement, Dr. O'DonneIl.
the present coroner of San Francisco, has
started the formation of
ANTI-COoLIE CLUBS
in all parts of the state. Their idea is to
seek political relief, if it is possible to get
it. If not. then I fear that there will be
resort to physical force. l hope the ques-
tion can be settled by peaceable means. but
the Chinese must go. Recent dispatches
about the proposed use of dynamite are
some indication of the feeling on the sub
ject. These people were undoubtedly sim
cere, and / tell you the feeling is not con-
fined to the Socialistic element, either. All
classes Of people are joining the anti
COolie league, and / would not be sur
prised to see at any time to see the Oregon
and Seattle massacres repeated on much
larger scale in California"

a Burlington Extension.
SneeiaI TO the Globe.


LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 27.-The Burling-
ton company has projected two new extern
sions in Nebraska and will push the con-
struction rapidly. One will be an extension
to the northwest of the Lincoln & Grand
Island branch. This will make an entrance
into new field for that company, as, up
to the present time, its operations have
been confined almost exclusively to the ter
rltory south of the Platte river. This
branch will be extended at once as far as
Broken Bow, in Custer county. distance
OF over one hundred miles. This will bring
large portion OF the North Platte country
into direct communication with the state
capital. and will be beneficial to all parties
concerned. Another extension, to be made
at once. is from Tobias west to Warblue
hills. This will be shorter line. 1t is
thought that this branch will also reach
Nelson, the seat of Nuckals county. which
is in the midst of an excellent country.
This branch will run into the territory of
the st. Joseph 6 Denver. perhaps at Edgar.
and will doubtless have tendency to dis
courage the possible extension of the Rock
Island, from ST. Joseph. No. Actual con-
struetion OF these lines is to commence as
soon as possible. The Burlington has now
prospected nearly two hundred and fifty
miles of new road in Nebraska alone.

GRANT MEMORIAL ROW.
Certain Prominent Committee men
Holding AlO0f.

Specialize the Globe.
New YORK, Dec. 27.-Bitter feeling has
arisen in the Grant memorial committee.
Chairman Chester A. Arthur has attended
no meeting lately nor signed a document
relating to the monument project, and many
others are with him in holding aloof. The
cause of this is the publication of the names
of the entire committee with the subscrip-
tions of those who had made any, thus en-
blaZoning The several hundred who had not
contributed dollar. This is construed by
them as a measure of coercion. and now
they are antagonistic to the whole scheme
Jay Gould was the original inciter of the
dlspleasing measure. lie is committee
man, and in a meeting he
SPOKE EMPHATICALLY
of those who had refrained from giving.
Soon afterwards the list was published.
The secretary says truthfully that neither
he nor the books of the fund provided the
Information, which was readily obtained by
searching the daily record of contributions
for the names of the committee. Never
theless the aggrieved men hold that it was
an attempt to shame them into giving, that
the promoters of the fund sanctioned it.,
and that it is an insult that they can resent
only by having nothing further to do with
the business. Not millionaire named in
the roll has sent anything since the publica-
ton. The belief now is that the fund will
be closed when $50, 900 has been raised,
and that the city, state and national gov
ernments will then be asked to appropriate
500, 900 each, making total sum of $500,
0G0 with which to build the monument.

THE CHICAGO SOCIALISTS.
They Make no Reference to tn,
Bomb at Judge Trees.


CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-A hundred represeu-
tatives Of the socialist element of Chicago
held their usual Sunday meeting to-day,
and occupied an hour or so in the discussion
of the Needs of Socialism. Contrary to the
expectation of good many people in the
city, yesterdays dynamite sensation was
not touched upon and very few inf1am-
matory expressions were indulged in.
There was large attendance at meeting
of the Central Labor union held to-day, at
which number of anarchists were pres
ent. George Schilling delivered quite a
lengthy address on the advantages of the
eight-hour system and Mr.. Paul Croft
kenew, speaking on the same subject, took
occasion to refer to anarchists as injuring
the chances of the eight-hour law
through their extreme views on the labor
question. The anarchists present greeted
this remark with Kisses, but were allowed
to remain, after discussion as to the ad-
visibility of turning them out of the meet
ing. Among others the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
hypoeritical and uufriendly position taken by
demand of proletarians as that Of reaction
lists, and. in consequence, hindering the ac-
complishment OF the emancipation of the
proletarians.
Nofurther light has been thrown on the
mysterious attempt to blow up Judge Trees

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-A number Of
members have remained in Washington
during the holiday season, apparently for
no other reason than to work for committee
places. Some OF these members proceeded
in their application for committee places in
the same way as would an aspiring otflce-
seeker anxious to obtain position in the
departments. 1t is astonishing to observe
the lack of dignity and self-reSpect that
many members exhibit in their canvass for
preferment Some file elaborate letters of
Endorsement and back up these indorse-
ments with vigorous personal pleas, in
which they eloquenly picture their own viz
tues. l wonder if anyone thinks that Mr..
Carlisle could be affected in his judgment
BY mere paper expressions of good will and
testimonials of ability. He has had wide
experience in the house and is personally
familiar with the qualifications Of all OF the
members who will naturally be given the
leading places. The only thing tnat the
speaker desires to know from members IS
where they prefer to go. Beyond that per-
sonal pleading ought to have
BAD EFFECT
instead of god. The majority of members
overestimaIe the value of committee posi-
tions. They are absolutely worthless so far
as making man prominent in the house
is concerned. If a man has ability, no
speaker can prevent him from occupying a
/ prominent position upon the floor, and il he
has no ability as a debater, no prominence
of committees will give him an advantage.
This is well-iIluStrated in Mr.. Morrison S
case. He mas been long time at the head
of the great committee of the house. He
has had following on account of the prin-
cipIes that he has represented, but yet he is
not recognized as leader in debate. He is
merely a nominal leader. He is very sue
cessfuI as a manager and has a great deal
OF legislative adroitneSs. He will make
a very good executive on the floor in direct
ing the general line of debate, but he will
always have to have some one to speak for
him. This will place him at a great disad-
vantage with Mr.. Randall. The latter is
not by any means an eloquent man, but he
is ready, aggressive and a perfect master OF
all the arts of parliamentary fighting.

Another Prize Comet.

SpPC1aI 70 the GIODe.
ROCHESTER, n. 7, Dec. 27.-Prof
Swift of Warner observatory last evening
received telegram from Prof. Brooks of
Phelps announcing the discovery of another
comet. 1t is in the constellation of Aquilla,
which in the early evening is low in the
southwest. 1t is situated SIX degrees south
of Alpha and is described as brightest
and having slow easterly motion. This
secures to Mr.. Brooks the second Warner
prize of $500 for 1885. Prof Swift last
evening observed Barnard's and the Paris
comets. He also found a star of the sixth
magnitude. Barnard's comet has a tail
about two degrees and thirty minutes long,
with the nucleus entirely to the preceding
side of the comet. The Paris comet is
brighter but has no tail
