GEN. IRWIN MCDOWELL.

Gen. IRWIN MCDOWELL, who died at San
Francisco last Monday night, was the COM
mander of the Union army at the first Bull
Run battle. If he had been successful in
that battle he would have been the hero of
the war and would have occupied position
of eminence equal to that which Gen. GRANT
afterward obtained. Although the fault of
defeat was not his, still he had to suffer the
stigma of it, and never came to the surface
of prominence again. The first battle of
Bull Run was one Of the few battles of the
hand and fought in accordance with the
plan. 1t was lost to the Union cause, but
skill and strategy had done all that they
could do ON that side.
Gen. MCDOWELL was native of Ohio.
He was born at Columbus on the 18th day
of October, 1918, and graduated from West
Point in 1888. He was in the Mexican war
and was promoted at the battle of Buena
Vista. He was made brigadier general in
May, 1861, and assigned to the command Of
the army which was rendezvousing at Wash
ington. After the disastrous battle of Bull
Run and Gen. MCCLELLAN had been
placed in command of the army of the Po-
tomac, he was assigned to the First army
corps. He was transferred to several de-
partments during the war. He was faith
full soldier and an efficient officer, but never
redeemed the reputation he lost at Bull
Run. In 1872 Ike was promoted to the rank
of major general in the regular army and
was soon afterward retired. He had been
in i'll health for several years.

A TOOTHLEss SERPENT.

A correspondent, writing from Winona,
quotes the following paragraph from last
Wednesdays Pioneer Press:
ssAnd to this contingent were added thou
sands of young men, who quietly cast their
votes for a 'wide-open' policy. The nameless
thing was an element in this contest, and the
fiutter of the scarlet garments determined
many vote.''
And asks the GLOBE to explain its mean
ing. While always willing to crafty our
correspondents in all reasonable requests,
we prefer that each individual shall inter-
pref the meaning of the paragraph quoted
by our Winona friend for himself. 1t is
style of literature we do not care to study.
But we can say in answer to further ques-
ton of our correspondent that the young
men of st. Paul are not the debauched class
some of our newspapers would have the
outside world believe them to be. We are
assured that so far as the standard of NOR
atty goes, the young men of this city
are the peers of any. Simply be-
cause they do not all subscribe
to the hide-bound fanaticism of some peo.,
pie, or profess the hypocritical cant of 9TH
Olf', 10 ilO 1Cttouil llitlb t1lU3 uG TIT
nounced as lbertines, gamblers and social
Outcasts. If our correspondent has been
regular reader of the Pioneer Press he will
have observed that the young men are not
the only ones maligned by that sheet. 1t is
engaged in systematic defamation of this
city and its population, and it is very care
full to select the language of the fish market
and the style OF the Arab in It's raid upon the
good name of city which is fortunately
proof against its. venom. The city of st.
Paul is growing just as fast as if there was
no Pioneer Press to assail it. and our peo-
pie, both young and old. are attending to
their own affairs, and building up their in
diydaal fortunes and preserving q healthy
tone Of morality and elreunspeeton just as
if they had no Journalistic adder in their
breast attempting 10 sting them 10 death.

A BAD JOB.

If our press dispatches are correct the
Illinois Democrats are the victims of over
confidence. Relying upon their 1000 ma
iority in the Thirty-fourth senatorial dis
trict, no exertion was made to carry the
special election and it has probably gone
against them by default. The Republicans,
anticipating Democratic apathy growing
out of their large majority, sent out special
machine-workers who drummed out the full
Republican vote, and have probably carried
the district. This will give the Republicans
the needed 1913 votes to place them in the
majority in the legislature. 1t by no means
insures Gen. LoGAN'S election. On the
contrary it will probably result in SITTIG
and MCMILLAN, the two kicking Republic
cans, becoming more earnest in their OPP
position to LOGAN. and will compel the
Republican caucus to take him down as its
candidate and substitute another Republic
can in his place, OF they will go over to the
Democracy. Still the loss of the district is
bad piece of business for the Democrats
and shows bad generalship on the part of
Col. MORRISON.

son, while st. Paul continues to grow
sound, healthy Democratic city. And ever
VOORHEES, AGAINST EusTIs.

Senator VOORHEES, has always been re-
garded as pretty strong partisan. Every
drop of blood in his veins is Democratic
and he fought the battles of Democracy in
Indiana when it was hazardous thing to
do. Like all the Indiana Democrats Sena-
tor VOORHEES, is Democrat after the
JACKSON school, and believes that the
spoils belong to the vict0rs, and that the
party in power should have control of the
offices. While he is 4 politician of the old
fashioned type and Thoroughbred par
tisan, and has never been looked upon as
much of a civil service reformer, still Mr..
VOORHEES, does not fly off the handle like
Senator EUsTIs did when the president
doesn't exactly please him in the way of APP
pointments. Mr.. VOORHEES, has recently
been interviewed and he speaks words of
common sense. Although he has been dlsap-
pointed in securing important appointments
for his political friends under the admins
tration, Mr.. VOORHEES, tells the Washington
correspondent of the New York Evening
Post, among other things, that 1.-The distri-
button of patronage is not a proper subject
upon which to break with an administration.
Dishonesty in office OF the administration of
the government upon false principles of
legislation can alone justify leader of a
party in rushing into opposition, 1t is, in
my opinion, highly impolitic for any one
who fails to get an office to cry out that the
party is lost, and then fall to railing against
the administration. To the men who are
before the country accusing this admins
tration of moving slowly it ought to be
sufficient answer that the Democratic party
takes possession of a government which has
been for twenty-five years in the hands OF
the Republicans, and that the senate is still
Republican. If the administration went to
work with reckless rapidity in making
changes the members of it would prove
thereby their unftness for their places. |
refuse to discuss any such proposition as
that Mr.. CLEVELAND may prove disloyal to
his party or the principles upon which we
elected him. My confidence in his integrity
is absolute"
Senator EUsTIs would do well to study
the generous and loyal sentiments of the
Indiana statesman. This is pretty big
country, and the Louisiana senator will
probably live long enough to learn that one
man can't disrupt a party, and that the
safest course for him is to fall back into the
traces and not kick every time the swingle-
tree touches his heels.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Some of the Republican organs are max
ing good deal of noise about the appoint
ment of DIR. MEIERE, IAN unrepentant
rebel" as consul at Nagasaki, Japan. They
fail to say anything, however, about the
rebel Brigadier Gen. A. G. JONES, who is
removed from the Nagasaki consulship.
Prior to the war Gen. JONES was one of
the most ultra pro-slavery Democrats in
Minnesota. At the breaking out of the war
he went South and served through the en-
tire war as an officer in the Confederate
army. In 1865 lie refused to be recon-
structed and went to Mexico and served
under MAMMALIAN. When the Mexican
empire collapsed Gen. JONES returned to
the United States and blossomed out as a
full=hloWn Republican and received a soft
appointment in one of the departments at
Washington until 1880. when he was APP
pointed to the profitable consulship at
Nagasaki, where he has been ever since.

Vanderbilts made important declines.
New York Central declined from the closing
price the day before 25s per cent, while Lake
Shore fell 2ss per cent. The rest of the list
Welded an average of per cent. During the

standing of many business men, involving the
charge that certain prominent railroad OIL
Gals have been misappropriating consider

HOt-Headed Socialists.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE socialists had a
meeting last night to express sympathy
with the quarry strikers at Lemont. August
Spies said three years ago there was a
similar strike The men were
then getting from 80 to IS a
day. The bosses then won the fight
and wages were reduced. The Irish and
German wOrkmen were frozen out and sup
planted by pauper Polish and Bohemian
labor. The present strike is the uprising
of this pauper labor itself, which
it was easy to predict would happen. Gov.
Oglesby. Sheriff Sancha, the militia, and
everybody else who took part in quelling
the riot were abused, and all sorts of rash
statements were made. Samuel Fielding
said the sheriff got his hand cut off in the
war. He wished it had been
his head. They would be cow
ards if his head was suffered
to remain on, for he is responsible for the
death of the Lemont victims. They have
got to form a secret society, so that when
ever governor or sheriff calls out the
militia the governor and sheriff orders
themselves shall be eXecuteds A. r. Par
SONS introduced resolutions denOuncing the
killing of two of the strikers.

Logan Confident of Election.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 7.-Unofficial
returns received from the Thirty-fourth
senatorial district show Weaver, Republic
can, to be over $50 ahead. 1t is gen
orally believed that these figures
will not be materially changed.
The senatorial aspect has been
materially changed by the events of the
past forty-eight hours, and Logan's chances
appear very much brighter, although it is
not positively known yet what Setting
will do. That gentleman left for home
as soon as it became fully apparent that
Weaver had been elected to-day. The gen
eral impression here is that he will fall into
line when the time comes, although he feels
sore over the abuse he received when he
paired with Shaw. Logan is
now fully confident of his
ultimate success. The Democrats admit
that they were outgeneraled in this matter
and blame themselves for being so lax.
None of the representatives from that dis
trict even took the trouble to visit it during
the election, so confident were they that
no opposition would be offered.

PRETTY WE'LL SCARED.
Decision That thoroughly
Alarms Chicago Commits
sion NTcn.

CHICAGO, May 7.-Messrs. Higgins &
Gilbert, board of trade firm. have been
thrown into CONSERVATION by a decision,
yesterday, of United States Court Judge
Baxter at Cleveland, O. The firm sued an
Ohio speculator, James McCrea, for S31. $50
for losses made, it was claimed, ON
trades ordered by him. The Judge not only
refused to give the Chicago firm their judy
ment, but summarily ordered, on the other
hand, that the defendant be given verdict
against the Chicago plaintiffs of S21 ,00O
This result, growing out of a techni-
cality in bookkeeping, has disclosed
to all the other members of the
board that they are in imminent peril of
being in exactly the same boat, and has
created as much CONSERVATION among them
as in the firm Immediately concerned. just
before the McGeoch lard corner collapsed
in May, 1883, Higgins & Gilbert bought for
McCrea lot Of lard and pork. He lost a
good deal and put mp SIS, 900 in margins.
All the stuff was bought for August. Fin
ally McCrea said he would put up
NO MORE MONEY.
Higgins q Gilbert kept the land, they
claimed, until August and then sold out at
a loss of over $50, 000 Then they sued for
the loss. On the trial it was discovered
that Higgins & Gilbert had, very soon
after the purchase, ''rung up" the trade.
1t was also disclosed, however, fatally for
the firm, that while they had kept ''long"
just so much pork and lard, they had not
on their books, in McCrea's account, sub
stltuted any new contracts after they had
disposed of the. originals by ringing
up" 1t is said that all the
other members of the board
are in substantially the same fix. The loss
OF $4,000 to this concern has, however,
disclosed the peril and so shocked the fra
ternity that there is certain to follow a
complete revolution in board of trade book
keeping. The point in suit between
Higgins & Gilbert and McCrea did not turn
on the principle of gambling, but resulted
from the fact that Higgins & Gilbert did
not make substitution for the offset con-
tracts, as regarding section Z, rule 30, board
OF trade.

OHIOag0 IIIUUIIo IIt6P.J
The Democrats carried the day in the mu-
nicipal election in St. Paul last Tuesday. The
fight between the parties in the growing city
was a bitter one, but the Republican CAM
paign was badly managed. With the right
kind of newspaper support Merriam, the
energetic young president of one of the ST.
Paul banks and the Republican candidate for
mayor, would have been elected but neither
the ST. Paul Pioneer Press nor the evening
Republican newspaper of the city showed
tact or sense in the campaign, making more
enemies than friends. The Democratic
majority was small, but it was enough, and
the defeat is the more humiliating to the Re-
publicans because so inexcusable.

Mr.. Merriam. In the language OF the wild

to call halt in the headlong race toward
ruin and disgrace, while a vote for Rice was
a vote to let the disease go on with its deadly
work" Mr.. Rice was reelected and the in
ference is that ST. Paul is, by this time, going

THE monthly treasury statement made up
to the LIST of May, shows when compared with
that of April, a loss of nearly &7,000,000 of
gold; a gain of about S6,000,000 in silver; a
gain of nearly S1,000,000 in United States
notes; gain of $4,000 in national bank
notes, and a loss of So, 000 900 in national bank
deposits. The loss of gold has rather a serious
look. 1t comes about by the payment of Gus
toms due in silver and silver certificates,
which the law permits. Secretary MANNING
and Treasurer JORDAN believe that the May
statement, to be made on the 1st of June, win
not show so large loss of gold by the treas
ury. Under the instructions of Secretary
MANNING reports have been made to him
dnring the past month of the kinds of money
received ut the New York custom house.
From these reports it appears that the coin
received is about per cent. of the total, the
greenbacks are about 20 per cent, the gold
certificates about 3T15 per cent. and silver
certificates Al - per cent.
