EDITORIAL NOTES

The reappointment Of Postmaster Pearson
is good thing for the great cause of Civil
Service Reform and for those who have
business with the New York postoffice. But
it will greatly displease ''the boys" We
think, however, that the President can af-
ford to thus displease them.
The New London Day is right in saying
that the laws delay, which has become noto
rious in this State, is largely responsible for
the decrease of the business of the legal pro-
fession in Connecticut during the past five
years. A man who is not very young and
strong had better not begin lawsuit in this
State.
A cremation society has been organized at
Worcester, Massachusetts, having among its
members some of the most influential citi-
zens. Its objects are to demonstrate the i'm
portance and necessity of incineration as the
best method of disposing of the dead; to call
public attention to the dangers to health
from earth-burial; and to secure the erection
of a crematorium in Worcester.
The latest ''corner' is in canned peas.
Early last fall Boston firm bought five
thousand cases of canned peas. The market
afterwards dropped but after consideration
the firm decided to protect the original in
vestment, and accordingly bought freely in
Baltimore and other markets, until they held
all the canned peas in the country. From
| the bottom price paid there has been an ad-
vance of sixty-fve cents per dozen, and they
have sold thus far 13, 900 dozen. The ad-
| vance in canned peas has affected other
canned goods, and canned tomatoes and
| canned corn have advanced 10 per cent The
corner in canned peas is so complete that
the Boston firm referred to is sending canned
peas to Baltimore, New York and other lead
| ing markets.
A London paper announces that Herr
Randolph Kalb, whose theory of earthquakes
| has for some years been much discussed in
scientific circles, and whose predictions have
| frequently been sustained by events, has
| just promulgated new theory with refer
ence to choke damp in mines. He says that
| explosions coincide for the most part with
earthquakes, and he predicts very critical
state of things shortly, when, he says, the
greatest caution should be observed in mines
| The<next dates when he anticipates danger

ltrOm the CnlcagO
A Chicago gentleman being detained for a
day on a recent excursion to New Orleans by
a non-connection of trains at a station near
Beauvoir, the residence of ex-Confederate
President jefferson Davis, concluded he
would walk over and make him call. He
was very pleasantly received in fine man
sion overlooking the gulf and commanding a
splendid view. This mansion, it viii be
recolIected, was the gift of lady admirer of
Mr. Davis on account of his services and sac
rifces in the cause of the South. Our Chicago
friend did not exactly interview the ex-presi-
dent, but evidently asked him a few ques-
tions upon public matters, to which replies
were pleasantly and cheerfully given. One
of the most important things said by Mr..
Davis was, perhaps, in relation to his pres
ent position in regard to the Hlost cause. "
He said he had been misunderstood in this
respect. When he remarked in a public
speech that the cause was not lost, but would
be recovered, he did not by any means i'm
ply that there would be another war; that
was impossible. The South was too impov-
erished to resort to anything of the kind {;
besides it had no disposition or intention to
do 80. He meant simply that the ''lost cause"
of the rebellion would revive again in the
fuller acknowledgment of State sovereignty;
that the Union was compact between the
independent ana sovereign states. Ih1S, he
thought, would be the final outcome of the
civil war, it having recalled the attention of
the people to the original principles upon
which the government is based. Mr.. Davis
remarked that he was poor, and as an evil
dence of it Mrs Davis, when she came to in
vite them to dinner, excused herself for not
appearing earlier by saying that she had to
do her own work. Our Chicagoan evidently
felt somewhat relieved in his mind by the
interview with the ex-president, who con-
cluded the courtesies of the day by driving
him over to the station
They Were Not Used to such Treat
ment.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The burglars who went through the cloth
ing store Tuesday night also paid a visit to
the residence of Mr.. L. o. Spaford, at the
corner of Broadway and Jones avenue. Mr..
Spafferd heard some one moving in the kiteh-
en-, and, opening the door, asked who was
there Immediately two revolvers were pre-
sented at his heal, with the command
"Your money or your life."
s'Whata'' asked Mr.. Spaffcrd, who cannot
hear well.
"Your money or your 1ife," repeated the
burglar.

Liver Pills for the cure of Biliousness.

After Eating, Bad Taste in the Mouth.

use them. DIR. l. 5. MILLER.
1neSe f1IlS are not QudcA VI at-

Virtue and Power. So eminently sue
cessful have they been, that our best
physicians and most worthy citizens furn-
ish us with testimonials of cures effected,
which seem miraculous and would hardly
be believed, were it not for the abundance
of proof and its unquestionable reliability.
Ask for Palmer's Liver Pills, and if
your druggist does not keep them, don't
allow him to put off on you any other
Pills that contain Mercury or Morphine,
which they say will answer equally as
well, but insist upon taking no other but
Palmer's and your druggist will get them
for you.

Great Success of the s.. Paul Favorifes.
1t is seldom indeed that Auber's beautiful
and meIodious opera of FRA DiayolO," with
its rollicking airs, sparkling score and be-
witching hustle of action and dialogue is 50
well sung or acted as ut it's rendition by the
Boston Ideals at the Grand last night. There
was not a tame moment in the whole per-
Torrance, the esprit being characteristic
throughout. And where, when it is consid-
cred, could one look for a much better cast
than that which comprised Myron Whitney,
Tom Karl, Marie Stone, Geraldine Ulmcr,
Mr.. Barnabee, Mr.. Macdonald and Mr.. Nor
sell. 1t is to be doubted If a
stronger .cast could be gotten up
in any one company, and inferring from the
enthusiastic manner in which it was re-
ceived, it certainly could not have been pre-
ductive Of more enjoyment. the audience
was exceedingly large, fashionable and dis
eliminating in the generic sense of the
term and was unstinted in its manifestations
ofapproval.
Owing to the Illness of Mr.. rockingham,
who was cast for one of the robbers, his roll
was taken by Mr.. Mcdonald. Mr.. Whitney
and the latter were both in splendid voice
and their APPEARANCE was very grotesque and
appropriate. Mr.. Whitney sang sup
erbly, and his descriptive solo, the warrior,
in the third act being faultlessly rendered,
and his true and deep voice was never heard
to finer advantage. The duet, You'll be
Blcst" by Whitney and Mcdonald, in the
first act, was very fine. Mr.. Karl was at his
best in the title role. He sang well and en-
acted the role Of the cavalier bandit in a
spirited and graceful manner The role Of
Zerliua was taken by Marie Stone. Her act
ing was arch, sprightly and full Of vim, while
she sang with customary sweetness. Her
solo. "There's no cause, | fancy, for sigh
ing" was admirably rendered, and her act
ing in the chamber scene was given with Just
enough abandon to not be overdone.
The burlesque Of this scene by Whitney
and Mcdonald was one OF the most enjOya-
bic hits of the evening. Miss Ulmer was in
good voice, and she sang with beauty and
charm Of expression, while she was quite
faultless as the coquette. Mr.. Barnabee as
Allcash WAS in his element making the ideal
English snob. He sang admirably, and gave
the role with proper spirit. The trio in the
third act by Miss Stone, Miss Ulmer and Mr..
Barnabee was splendidly done. Mr.. Morsell
made capital Lorenzo, and
he is singing better every day.
Mr.. Studley and his orchestra gave fine
coloring TO the score and the chorus was
finely costumed and sang In unison. 1t was
a treat throughout aud those who did not
hear 1t have much to regret.
Tonight "Girofe Giroha' will be given

opens this morning, the company appearing
Thursday night. OF the performance an ex-
change says;
He who wishes TO enjoy an evening Of con-
tinuOus laughter should not fail TO see tue
performance Of something entitled "a Rag
Baby as the play bills mUdestly designate
1t at the Grand Opera house. Mr.. Charles
Hoyt, who is responsible for the authorship
of THE Bunch Of Keys" has also written
the present production, and it shows all the
originality in treatment and native wit that
has made its predecessor the greatest Of
recent comedy successes. "a Rag Baby"
makes no particular dramatic pretensions,
but when presented by company Of clever
people 1t is as uproariously iuuuy per-
Torrance as II Is altogether safe to see.

DR.. Day niscourSrs on The Subject.

Referring to the unpleasantness, Post
master Day said yesterday that on coming
down to the Office New Years morning, he
had been informed what the boys had done,
and that he had sought out Superintendent
Hardacre and informed him that receiving
presents was against the law and could not
be tolerated. Mr.. Hardacre replied that he
was fully aware of the fact, and that be bad
written letter informing the carriers why be
could not accept the token of friendship, and
that he had formally declined receiving it..
Further referring to the subject DR.. Day said
it was unpleasant from the fact that the car
riers were ignorant OF the law and had acted
in the best of feeling and good faith. The
attention of the GLOBE reporter was hereupon
called to section 1874 of the revised statutes
of the United States which has reference to
the prohibition of emf loyes Of The depart
ments receiving presents or contributions Of
any kind.

nection.
Inspector Hamilton said that It was the
custom when he was at school for each pupil
10 pay for his bieakage as it was done.
Inspector Gilbert proposed that the princi-
pals OF the schools, including the High school,
are hereby instructed 10 keep an account Of
ali glass broken in their several buildings
and as far as possible the names OF the pu-
pills or persons doing the breaking, and 10
report the same TO the secretary Of the board
at the close Of each month who shall see that
rule 81 is enforced. They shall also take
such measures to prevent the breaking of
glass in the school buildings as shall seem
best 10 them and shall require the utmost
care and watchfulness on the part of the
1auitUrs Ia secure the same end. All glass
needed tor repairs shall be purchased only
by the Ommittee on real estate, and no
glazing shall be done except by their written
order, The resolution was carried.
Inspector Minor was appointed commit
tee to examine the specifications for Wash

The board then took a recess Of ten min
utes 10 enable the ommittee on finance TO

EpeCtor Hamilton moved that the proper
officers bc authorized 10 borrow the sum OF
$4,000, with accrued interest, to pay a GER
thcate of Indebtedness incurred September
20, 1854. and to borrow 200 for paying
salaries for the month OF January.

Hamilton or the legislative committee, aud
Inspector Willis on the committee on High
school.
Inspector Gilbert called attention to the
charges for water; the company charging for
twelve months when 1t is only used ten
months, and no consideration is made for
holidays.
The president thought the arbitrary charge
Of Toe per capita WAS not Just, and the proper
course would be 10 have meters placed on

Inspector Willis moved that the bills for
water be dIsaliowed and meters be ordered
placed on each school. The motion was
