A STRONG ARM NEEDED.

The necessity for governmental control of
the railways becomes more apparent every
day. 1t is to be regretted that it is so.
The idea of the government being COM
PEELED to assume control of any great de.
partment of business is not attractive to the
average American citizen, and more espe-
cially is it repulsiye TO those of Democratic
tendencies. The theory of patenal govern
ment in any form is contrary to the genius
of republican institutions. But we are
now brought face to face with a new
problem, the only solution of which
appears to be in the laying on of the gov
enment's strong hand and using its power
as the instrument Of accomplishing right.
il railways are common carriers and their
use is TO serve the public. itnow seems that
the only way To bring about the purposes for
which railways are constructed is for the
government to take control of them.
Within the last few years there has grown
up in this country powerful organization
composed of the working classes. So pow
erful has this organization become that even
great railway system under the control
and ownership of JAY GOULD with his
millions to back him finds itself unable to
cope with the organization. The sudden
development of the hitherto unknown
strength of the labor organizations has
alarmed the railway magnates. They now
discover that they do not possess the imper-
ial powers which but little while ago was
conceded to be theirs. The result of this
discovery is an attempt now on the part of
all the railway systems to effect a combina-
ton to fight the labor organizations.
Such conflict means death to
one or both of the contestants and
dire disaster to all business interests of the
country. The public cannot permit such
contest to occur. There are too many i'm
terests involved in this trouble to be sacri-
feed to the spleen of either railway officials
or the vindictivenesS of labor organizations.
And if there Is no other or better way de-
viSed to relieve the people from the threat
ened ruin which menaceS them, because of
the bull-headedneSs of few railway and
labor officials, then we will be compelled to
lay aside all sqeamishness about the right
OF the government to exercise paternal au-
thority and call upon congress to enact
legislation transferring all the railway lines
In the country to government control. 1t
would be better that the government should
build and own all the railway lines than
that business interests should be subjected
to the arrangement now resulting from the
present system of management. If this is
the peoples government then let the people
be protected in all their interests.

A MATERIALIZED MATRON

a visitor wandering through the corridors
of the national capitol building at Wash
ington the other day discovered on the
right-hand pillar in the empty hall of the
old house of representatives the face of a
sleeping woman traced in well-defined lines
in the composite stone. The face resembles
the portraits Of MARTHA WASHINGTON,
and beyond the clear outlines of the face
there is nothing to be seen except the upper
part of the neck, around which is buttuned
the close-ftting collar of the dress.
1t is curious coincidence that
this discovery should be made just at the
time when women in high position are
lending countenance to the modern decol-
lete style of dressing. In the good old
days of our early history the mothers of
the republic had no desire to make public
exhibition of their personal charms. and
consequently dresses were made to cover as
much of the female figure as was comforta-
BILE to the wearer. 1t was pardonabe in
gentlemen of the Olden time to wear knick-
erbockers to display their shapely calves.
for the men of that period had limbs worth
looking at. But no such liberty was
granted to the feminine members of
primitive Am erican society. A pretty face
and modest manners constituted the sole
charm of female beauty in those DAYS. 1t
is no wonder, then, that in the prevailing
style of sensuous dressing at the national
capital at this time, that the form of the
country's dead mother should assume shape
on the walls of the capitol building to re-
Duke the licentious depravity into which
modern society has fallen. And that the
rebuke may be more significant, the face OF
Americas matronly saint. wi ich peers out
from the granite pillar of the old hall of the
house of representatives, shows the close.
fitting style of high-necked dresses worn
by the virtuous women who laid the
foundations of American society. The next
thing in order now is for the statue Of An

pedestal in front of the White house and &C

A PORCINE rRIUMPH.

AT last the American hog is indicated.
Long has it remained unGer suspicion by
those who knew it not and were there
fore ignorant of its many virtues.
Appreciated at home, it has been
villified, prosecuted and prohibited abroad.
Without being allowed to utter squeal in
its own behalf it has been ANONYMOUSLY
banished. On this one point those natural
enemies, France and Germany, were i'm ac-
cord. With natural politeness when con-
flonted with the proof that American
pork was only deleterious to the
average man when dealt in on a margin.
France relaxed in a measure and per-
mitted her citizens the inestimable boon of
cheap and wholesome food. But BISMARCK
has been Obdurate. Despite the honor
done him In the naming of a fourishng
Dakota town after him he has remained
firm. The American hog should not come
upon his shores so long as single ham
remained in Westphalia. American pork
was a poison beside which strychnia was
ambrosial nectar. A paternal and all-wise
government therefore found it to be its
duty to keep the people, who could
profound wisdom. from partaking
of the cheap food product which
fifty million Americans had been eating
with such terrifying effects. No. the
American hog must remain in exclusion
and the dear people confine themselves to
the home animal, which was so COM
pietely free from disease and which the
German mobiles so kindly raised upon their
estates for the convenience of the public.
Thus it was done. As to the result? The
United States consul general at Berlin re-
ports within the last few weeks thirty TO
forty cases of trichinosis have been
discovered in Luttehan, in Silesia. SINH
lar cases are reported from time to time
from other parts of Germany. But such
statements make unpleasant reading when
translated into German. 1t is considerate
in BISMARCK to suppress them. The
American hog may take heart of grace. 1t
seems its place cannot be supplied.

A NEW EATING-HOU Sc IDEA.

L
A clever New Yorker, taking advantage
of the serious annoyance which the waiter
question has become, has developed an
idea which has become Immediately and
wonderfully popular. Proceeding on the
natural suppositOn that if DELMoNIco
could get 80 cents for an article of food
which could be served at profit equally as
well at half that price, he would attract a
large custom, he opened restaurant near
the downtown place of the famous caterer.
In addition 10 reasonable prices, he
introduced other innovations. He argued
that busy men have no time to wait upon
the capriceS of slow-going walters with
whom fee is necessary to produce some
degree of celebrity. Accordingly he BAN
ished the walters. The entire array of
viands is spread upon large table or
counter. The customers choose what they
want, select the appropriate check from a
rack and present it to the cashier. The
idea took like wildfre and the enter
priSing young man has found it
necessary to open several branch establish
ments. The novel arrangement will be APP
preciated by Others than the busy brokers.
New York has a large floating population.
Many of its-members have floated around
the free-lunch counters so long that their
presence at these inexpensive feStal boards
has become monotOnOus and their usual
meal only TO be secured at considerable per-
sonal risk. To these the new restaurants
will be especially attractive. A res
taurant where they can eat as
much as they please free from the
tip-eXpectant eye of the waiter. and then
select any check, or no check at all. as they
please, cannot fail to commend itself heart
lily TO them. Their continued patronage is
assured. And so long as the proprietor's
capital lasts and he does not strike bal
ance the plan will probably continue in
operation. The protector, who wears the
significant name of BUFFERS, may not
make much money. but he will have the
comfortable consciousness of being phil

THE SPRING POETRY, CROP


1t seems that for some occult reason the
young mans fancy. and that of young
women too, for that matter, lightly turns
in the springtime to poetry as well as love.
Perhaps one is the corollary of the
other. In any event they both
exist simultaneously and the former in par
ticular aggressively. Perhaps it is natural
with youth, for the majority of poetic eff
fusions are evidently the offspring of very
youthful minds TO feel great thoughts stirring
within and struggling for utterance, just as
ali nature is awakening to renewed life.
Or perhaps the poetic tendency is merely
the result of disOrdered system which de-
mands molasses and sulphur or sage
tea. rather than the fostering in
fluence of a long-sufTering muse. In
either case upon the appearance of the first
symptom, the inclination to startle the
world with soulful ideas told in rhyme
should be earnestly Striven against. In some
cases success may be gained and surely the
possible result is worthy the most
valiant effort. 1t is not only that by such
expression individual peace is secured, but
the possibility of larger number being
called upon to suffer by some of the So
called poems, through inadvertence,

will be avoided. The GLOBE. through
sad experience, is led to believe
that the crop of spring poets is this
season unusually large. Just at time
when the community seems to be in an es-
pecially hopeful and prosperous condition
this is unfortunate. But the GLOBE is the
peoples paper and it assures them of pro-
lection from the spring poetry fiend in so
far as its suppressing power may extend.

many glaring Republican faults. Viewed
as a confession of Republican weakness,
and the consequent necessity for biased

cusable.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

a D-DOLLAR-BILLM MAN.
1t is not every man who has the privilege
on handling thousand-dollar bill, but when
a man does get one in the course of BUSH
ness transactions it is not such remarkable
fact as to excite comment. There are not
a great many thousand-dollar bills in circu-
lation and as rule they are not much in
demand as they exceed in value the ordi-
nary amount of everyday cash currency in
hand transactions. Consequently when a
man opens bank account and makes a
habit of depositing thousand-dollar bill
every day or two the singularity naturally
eXcites surprise among the bank officials
and they are apt to speak of il to somebody.
Thus it was that when JACOB SHARP's
concert opened in New York and the band
began to play, certain Mr.. HARRY HUME,
who had the eccentric habit of depositing
thousanddollar bills in the Madison Square
bank, was suspected of being member of the
SHARP orchestra, and when called to the
witness stand yesterday HUME was unable to
explain his thousand-dollar bill eccentricity.
If Mr.. HUME had been content to handle
smaller bills he might have saved himself.
But his pride led him to make display of his
thousand-dOllar bills, and now Mr.. HUME is
realizing the truth of the wise mans proverb:
Pride goeth before destruction"
