THE GLOBE. THURSDAY MORNING,

pletion of the tiftieth year of his service in
the senate in recognition of his personal
worth and official fidelity. THOMAS
WEIGH, the venerable colored man who is
always found sitting outside the main en-
trance of the supreme court room when the
court is in session, and opens and closes the
door for visitors, has held his position for
over thirty years. WELoH has clear head
and good memory, and is full of interesting
"reminiscences of the justices he has known
belonging to that court and of the lawyers
who have practiced before them since 1856 or
thereabOuts. He thinks much of the dig
nifty of the court and the respect that should
be shown it. He and ex-Justice CAMPBELL
OF Alabama are now probably the only per-
sons living who were directly connected
with that court at the beginning of Presi-
dent BUCHANAN'S administration.
The correspondent says that ''what is
most worthy of note in connection with all
these veterans of the civil service of the
government, is that they are so faithful to
their duties in spite of the advanced age of
most of them. Scarcely one of those named
ever loses day from the office in which he
does his work, except from real sickness,
and, as most of them enjoy the best of
health, they are rarely absent at all, except
during the vacation permitted them by law.
Many of the younger clerks and employees
lose far more time than the patriarehs.

THE MARKETS.

Yesterday was another dull day for the stock
market and nothing of special interest was
developed, all the declines, except in two or
three cases, being for fractional amounts.
The Pacific Mail was the principal exception,
and the advance made by this stock was at
tributed to the report that the difficulties be-
tween the company and the Pacific railways
were about to be settled. The weakest stocks
were the Vanderbilts, especially Lake Shore

were not afraid to doit. There is a very
large element in Canada that was in actual
sympathy with the rebel chieftain. They
believe that the half-breeds had been
wronged by the government, and they adj
mired the pluck of the man who had the
courage to lead his people into war waged
for the purpose of redressing their griev-
ances. There is also large Canadian ele-
ment sympathizing with the rebels because of
the French blood that runs in their veins.
Sir JOHN MACDONALD is wise enough to
know that the day he hangs Lo us REL,
there will be disturbance in Canada harder
to quell than the half breed rebellion was.
On the other hand, there is another class
who want to see the majesty of the law
indicated and rebellion made odious. Ii
the government undertakes to shield RIEL
from fate which this class thinks he de-
serves, they will want to know the reason
why it is done. The rebellion has cost
Canada too much in blood and treasure for
the government to release its leaders with
out punishment and not kick up the biggest
sort of hubbub. The situation of Sir
JOHN MACDONALD is indeed distressing.
He is pressed on all sides. There is trouble
if he does and there is trouble ifhe doesn't.
1t is hard to tell what will be the outcome,
but of one thing we can be assured, the
Canadian government would like to dispose
of its big elephant at very low figures.

CulCHgO NEWS.
The comments of the press of the country
upon Mr.. Joseph B, McCullagh's appoint
ment to nonresident professorship of
journalism in Harvard are interesting. They
express variety of opinion, but all agree
that Mr.. McCullagh is competent to I'LL the
place ably and digniiedly. The Washington
Post believes the professorship should have
been given to Mr.. Charles A. Dana of the New
York Sun. The st. Paul GLOBE says that
'swhile a little outside work pays Ii an editor
has time to attend to it, we would advise Mr..
McCullagh to keep his collections well in
hand" The Denver Tribue is delighted with
the rumored appointment, and devotes col
umn of editorial type to praise OF Mr.. Nc
Cullaghs talents and personal charms, and
every word is deserved The Denver News,
on the other hand, is inclined to discredit the
story, although it comedies that Mr.. Nc
Cullagh is amply qualified for the distin-

LOGAN,s REVENGE.

Gen. LOGAN is an unforgiving creature.
Revenge is said to be the abject pleasure OF
abiect minds; and so it is that LOGAN has
long been waiting for an opportunity to get
even with Mr.. ST JOHN, who is supposed
to have contributed something toward
JACKS and JILL's defeat last fall. 1t is
true that LoGAN's party had long been
toadying to the Prohibition element, but
when ST. JOHN had the courage to stand
for his convictions he committed the unpar-
donable sin in the estimation of the Repub
Icans. They regarded prohibition as good
thing as long as it would fly as tail to the
Republican kite. But when the Prohibi-
tionists undertook to set up for themselves
the Republican bosses suddenly came to
the conclusion that they ought to be
ostracized, and it was DONE Ordinarily the
hour of victory is the hour of magnanimity.
1t is always so with great men. But it was
not so with Gen. LOGAN. For when his
brow was freshly encircled with the laurel
wreath and his form enveloped in new
senatorial toga, Mr.. ST. JOHN came along,
and, stopping over at Springfield, asked
the poor privilege of using the state
house for one hour to preach tenn
perance to people who needed his in
structions. But the revengeful LOGAN,
still smarting under the wounds of an old
defeat, sounded the bugle, and his parti-
sans in the legislature responded to the call.
ST. JOHN was denied the boon he asked and
LOGAN was avenged. What a glorious tri-
umDh if was for the Iilliputian senator.
And yet Mr. ST. JOHN survives the shock,
and possibly has slipped another brick into
his coat pocket to be SHE'D at LoGAN's head
the next time it is popped up in national
canvass. Revenge is a two-edged sword
and can cut both ways.

THE PRESS AND RELIGION.

In an address before the recent congress
of churches, held at Hartford, the Rev. Mr..
GLADDEN. spoke of ''the attitude of the
average American editor toward religion as
one of calm superiority" and followed by
unjustly criticising the secular press of the
country as unfriendly to religion. In this
assumption Mr.. GLADDEN., as ministers
sometimes do, spoke of that of which he had
little or no personal knowledge and could
not discuss with intelligence or fairness.
In very sharp criticism on Mr.. GLADDEN's
that if the reverend gentleman chad care
fully inquired into the general character and
aims of the secular press Of America, he
would have complimented it as the most
important heipmate of the pulpit in all good
works, instead of denouncing it as teaching
contempt for religion. In point of fact, the
secular press of this country does vastly
more for the multiplication of churches,
colleges and schools; for the growth
of humanity; for the suppression
of public and private vice, and
for the advancement of every grand
attribute of our Christian civilization, than
does the religious press of the land. The
religious press reaches the few; the secular
press reaches the multitude. The one de-
tends dogmaS and creeds and church inSti-
buttons through which religion, morality
and charity are promoted; but the secular
press, as an institution, much more effect
ually defends and promotes the prosperity
of churches, morality, charity and all the
qualities without which religion is an empty
mockery. 1t is true that the secu-
lar press does not always work in
the narrow ways of the pulpit; and
it is well that it does not. 1t is
broad, liberal and progressive in all good
works, and it follows many unpromising
fields for the pulpit-worker, while the pulpit
is hesitating over the narrow dogmas which
the finite mind has formulated from the
Bible. 1t is the steadfast friend and sup
porter of religion; of the religion of charity;
of the religion of the Bible; and it is as
steadfast in the support of the church, with
all its strange antagonisms, because the
church is the hope of the religion upon
which our advanced and ennobled civiliza-
ton is founded"

Mr. villas, Letter.


The criticisms passed upon Mr.. Villas letter
concerning the small postoffces are for the
most part ill-natured and unfair. Carefully
read and correctly understood the letter is in
no sense departure from the policy of civil
service reform outlined by Mr.. Cleveland in
his letter to George William Curtis, or the
definitions of that policy given by other men
who are friendly to it.
Postmaster General Villas letter is a notice
and a warning that decent public servants are
not to be molested, but that the pestiferous
little partisans who have developed in their
crossroads postoffices into Objectionable
bosses are to go. If the officeholders Demo-
cratic as well as Repu blican, go through that
campaign without interfering in an offensive
way with the peoples affairs, it will be the
first time such thing has happened in fifty
years.

SECRETARY ENDICOTT.

Secretary of War ENDICoTT arrived in
st. Paul yesterday at noon, for the purpose
of inspecting the military garrison at Fort
Smelling. He was accompanied by his
wife and daughter, Adiutant Gen
eral DRUM and Col. BARR of the
United States army, and Private Secretary
SWEET. AS an honored member of the
present administration. distinguished func-
tionary of the United States government
and an elegant and accomplished gentleman.
the GLOBE extends to Judge ENDICoTT, as
well as to the other members of his party,
a hearty welcome to our city and state.
There is much to be seen in st. Paul and
vicinity that will be of great interest to Mr..
ENDIooTT, who is on his first visit to the
Northwest The secretary of war is a man
of fine practical sense, and he
can see for himself the wonderful
resources of this great country and
can correctly judge its capacity for future
development. When the secretary recalls
the fact that within his own recollection
this country was the undisputed camping
ground of the Indians, and, then, as he looks
around him to-day and sees the evidences of
splendid and growing civilization, his mind
can readily conceive what its condition will
be half century hence. Secretary ENDI-
coTT halls from state which has sent a
large body of pioneers to this region, and
will doubtless be made to feel at home
among them. Still, we do not want him to
understand that he belongs to the descend
ants OF Massachusetts, people exclusively,
but that all of us are Americans, and as
such extend to him, as the honored repre-
sentative of our government, the hospital
tiles OF our homes and a greeting of genuine
cordially. We are right down glad to see
you, Mr.. Secretary, and hope that you and
the distinguished ladies and gentlemen ae-
companying you will find it convenient to
tarry with US.

Under these circumstances we can regard the

THE CRY of the Crofter is the title of
pamphlet issued by the Scottish Land league
of America. with its headquarters at Chi
cago. The pamphlet contains evidences
of the grievances of the Crofters and
reveals very distressing and destitute con-
dition in the highlands of Scotland. The OBJ
ject of the Scottish Land league of America,
which has established its headquarters at
Chicago, is to help the Crofters by every law
full and constitutional means to obtain rights
hitherto denied them; such as fixity of ten
ure, right to dispose of their own improve
ments and larger holdings, which will enable
them to make comfortable living. but which
it is impossible for them to do under the pres
ent system of land tenure. The league so
licits subscriptions and promises to send every
cent received directly to the Crofters' relief,
as none of it is to be used for the expenses of
the league. Mr.. CHARLES A. MCDONALD of
Chicago is secretary of the league branch,
and Mr.. DUNCAN CAMERON is treasurer.
