THE ONTARIO PLAN.

Pittsburg is one city that regrets being
deluded into a trial of the Ontario plan for
making local Improvement assessments. In
fact her experience is most discouraging.
The experiment was begun 10 or - years
ago. 1t was adopted just as is proposed to
be adopted here. The city assessed the cost
of a street improvement on the abutting
property and payment was to be made by
the owners to the city in ten annual INSTALL
ments. About 100000 of bonds were
issued. The city collected the first INSTALL
ment from the property holders without
much trouble, but by the time the second
installment fell due some of the property
holders contested the assessment on
some technical ground. The other property
holders concluded to Withhold payment until
a decision was had from the courts. In the
meantime the city had to pay interest on
the outstanding bonds. until finally the ten
years expired. The supreme court decided
in favor of the property holders. The city
had to refund the bonds and they are now a
part of the city debt, for which she levies
a heavy sinking fund tax. Though
Cincinnati and one or two other cities that
have recently experimental with the in-
stallment plan have not yet fallen upon the
same rocks that wrecked it in PittSburg
still the experience of the latter city indi-
cafes the dangers that beset the plan. and
is an argument in favor of careful inves-
tigatiOn of the whole matter before get
ting tied up in it.

IT WONT SAVE HIM.

JACOB SHARP, the Broadway Surface
road magnate now under indictment for
bribery in New York, asks a change of
venue on the ground that New Workers are
prejudiced against him. ItdOesn't seem to
occur to Mr.. SHARP that the same prejudice
exists against him in every other locality.
AS rule the people of this country are
prejudiced against JACOB SHARP's methods
of securing railway legislation. and if he
succeeds in getting change of venue to
some other city he will still find the peni-
Tertiary yawning for him, AS an evidence
of the prejudice that exists in the metrOpo-
lis against him, SHARP files with his appli-
cation for change of venue sXty-nine clip
pings from New York newspapers directing
public sentiment against him. If Mr..
SHARP would take the trouble to cast his
eye over the newspapers of the entire coun-
try he would find that he has been getting a
universal roasting. The press constitutes
the great detective force of the country,
and it is through its efficient did that al
the great criminals are being hunted down
and brought to justice.

A RELIGIOUS CHANGE.

Was there ever such versatile fellow as
that same JIMMIE BLAINE, of Maine. 1t
makes no difference whether it is at a dance
or at funeral, he always turns up with a
speech to suit the occasion. The latest eX-
hibtion of his versatile talent was the
Boston speech on Forefathers' Day, when
he took occasion to spread his political
bread with Protestant butter. During the
last presidential contest Mr.. BLAINE's
strong card was posing as Roman CathO-
lie, and he relied on this to detach the
Irish vote from the Democratic party. Now
that he is pandering 10 the Protestant ele-
ment. it indicates that he proposes change
of tactics in 1888, and will stand OF Presby-
terrain platform. He says: Il went to one
church all through my boyhoOd, and, eX-
necessitate. when l came to New England [
went into the Congregational church. l
would rather have kept in the Presbyterian
church." 1t is altogether apparent that Mr..
BLAINE is preparing for change Of relig-
iOuS base.

VIRTUE OF A QUILT PATCH.

President CLEVELAND beats the faith
cure doctors as a healer of diseases. A
case is recorded of an old woman in the
Ohio valley who for the last twenty years
has been bed-ridden from paralysis, and
who, during all that time had entirely lost
the power of speech. The old lady had
the use of her hands and has employed her
time making crazy quilts. She has been in
the habit of applying regularly every year
to the inmates of the White house for
patches to work in her quilt. These appli-
cations have been unheeded until the other
day she received a package of quilt patches,
accompanied by an autograph letter from
the president in which he expressed the
pleasure he experienced in being able to
respond to her modest request and his SYM
patty for her in affection. The crippled
woman'S pleasure at the event was so great
that she jumped up suddenly. and in doing
SO knocked a revolver from a taJle which
stood at the bedside, and as it fell on the
floor was discharged. The ball entered her
paralyzed limb. The shock removed the
paralytic effects and restored her speech. The
physicians say she will have the use of her
limb as soon as the bullet wound is healed.
Ii the president will now send some quilt
patches to the paralyZed Office-seekers who
have failed to secure appointments, his
fame as a healer will be established on ar
enduring basis

SWTNnIERS.

At the session Of the St Paul Board OF
Trade Yesterday attention was called to
form of swindling practiced on the farmers
" lot of scamps who make their head
quarters in this city and Minneapolis. A
great many farmers are gullible enough to
sell produce on time TO these fictitious COM
mission firms in the expectation of getting
better prices than are offered by those who
are legitimately in the business. The result
is that when the deluded farmer comes to the
city to get the money for his produce he
finds that there is no such firm as was rep
resented and the buyer has skipped out.
Ordinarily, a person might be disposed to
say that an individual who would sell on
credit to an unknown purchaser deserved to
be swindled Whether he does or not.
there is one thing certain. the SwndleTS de-
serve to be caught and punished. Peni-
tentiares are built for just such raScals.
The Board of Trade and the police depart
ment together ought to be able to hunt the
villains down. and certainly ought to sue
ceed in breaking up the SWindling business
in the two cities

AN AMBITIOUS EPICURE.

A short time ago there was an editorial
article in the New York Sun paying grace
ful tribute to the tender and juicy qualities
of the Maryland canvas-back duck. Now
the Maryland newspapers, without distinc-
ton of party. are booming Editor DANA for
the presidency in 1883. 1t is evident that
the great New York editor has lived long
enough in this world of epicurean ideas to
learn that the quickest approach to mans
heart is through his stomach, and he is
going to work the appetite issue for all it is
worth. The country is hardly prepared to
have the cold-eYed eagle of liberty sup
planted in its proud position as the national
bird, but If that time ever comes there is no
fowl more deserving the honored succession
than the Maryland canvas back. And when
the great wave of epicurean revolution rolls
over the land from every outer wall will be
hung banner on whose Silken folds will be
inscribed the legend, DANA, Canvas-back
and Reform"

1t gives the GLOBE pleasure to observe
in the Washington dispatches an announce
ment to the effect that it has been deter
mined to give a series of small and informal
dancing parties in the White house after
the holidays. 1t will be remembered that
Mrs. CLEvELAND's desire to enjoy the
pleasure of minuet and waltz within the
White house was thought to have met with
some opposition on the part of the presi-
dent. whether through the fact that his
rheumatic knee prevented him from partic
ipating also in the pleasures of the dance,
or that his early training in that direction
had been neglected, not being known.
The GLOBE. however, warmly cham
pioned the cause and desires of the
charming little woman whom the president
has the great good fortune to call wife, and
the natural outcome of such champion
ship is seen in the announcement referred
to as appearing in the dispatches. We
ventured to speak the sentiment of the al
ways gallant West in the matter and it is
naturally matter of qualification that the
president should have been so forciby I'M
pressed by them. We hope Mrs. CLEvE-
LAND will have her dances frequently and
enjoy them to her hearts content When
ever she is concerned the GLOBE is a par
tisan of the strongest, but we trust not
offensive. kind,

entitled to one delegate for each additional
$4,000 head thus controlled; provided. that
no state or territory shall be entitled to more
than One-fOurth the entire vote of the aSSo-
citation. Discussion is also recommended by
local organizations of all questions OF interest
to the plains cattle industry in general,
that delegations may come into the
convention with carefully prepared measures
and thOughtfully conceived plans, approved
by their local associations at home and in
tended to promote the welfare OF this great
commercial enterprise. We earnestly hope
that the attendance will not be restricted 10
delegates alone, as the questions which will
be under discussion will be live issues di-
rectly affecting the investments of every
owner of cattle. The state OF affairs existing
cannot lie viewed with Indifference b, any
cattlemen in the land. In view Of these facts,
q Id the near approach of the anuull meeting,
all sections entitled TO membership in the as
SOclation are earnestly requested to name
delegates at an early date to represent their
respective interests in the coming delibera-

course, glad to welcome reputable foreign
ers to her hospitable shores, and glad to
furnish them home within the nations
broad boundaries. but there is another class
from over the seas the country is not so de-
sirous of claiming, and it is just this class,
out of sympathy with the spirit of Ameri-

dangerous, that should never be admitted to
citizenship. The proposed bill will, if car
ried into effect. have great tendency to
prevent the addition of undesirable ele-
ments to our population, and in doing so
should have the support of respectable and
intelligent fOreign-born, as well as native,
citizens. There are enough GRoTTKAUs

MANUSCRIPT SERMONS.

Mr.. BLAINE advised the Congregational
ministers, in his Boston speech. to eschew
manuscript sermons. Mr. BLAINE has good
reason to abhor manuscripts. He once adj
vised friend in confidence to even burn his
letters. Notwithstanding Mr.. BLAINE
natural adherence of manuscript dOcu-
ments. he hits the mark when he says that
manuscript sermons are the bane of the
pulpit. They have a soperifc influence
that is comfortable to the elect, but when
it comes to arousing sinners to repentance,
one good Off-hand sermon from DWIGHT L..
MOODY or SAM JONES will knock the spots
out of all the manuscript sermons that
were ever written and read.

A Split Threatened.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. .22.-The Record
this morning says: The desire of the as
semDles Of machinery constructors of the
Knights of Labor to obtain from the gen
eral executive board a national trades
charter for their industry has become so
urgent as to threaten split in the ranks Of
the order in case the request be not granted.
The members in this industry comprise the
workers in all trades for the construction of
machinery-bOi lermakerS. blackSmithS, ma
chinists etc. A petition to the general ex-
ecutive board setting forth this idea in de-
tail was the practical result of the national
convention of local assemblies held in Gin
cinnati on Nov. s. The petition was pre-
sented on the 18th of November and the
committee was informed that the board
would look into the matter and give reply
in short time, land that" said one of the
committeeman yesterday, sis the last we
have heard of the petition. The local as

board that if an answer be not returned by

fathers Day. was celebrated to night by a
banquet by the New England society of
Pennsylvania. About 200 persons sat at
the board. George William Curtis. of
New York, responded to the toast The
Day We o CELEBRATE" Among other things
he said:
The Puritan was not a revout iOnist. nor an
anarchist, but he was terrible reformer.
He was as hard as Plymouth rock itself; as
narrow as the way that leads to eternai life,
and if he Snuffled psalms through his nose it
was because he had been trained to fight
and not to sing. There was never in history
man so hated as the English puritan and
there are still people who think him a knave
and hypOcrite. There is much the same
feeling in the London clubs toward Mr..
Gladstone, himself. Il very good Puritan. We
can afford to tell the truth about the Puritan.
He was narrow. sour, hard and intolerant;
but he was the man for whom God sifted
three Kingdoms to plant the seed of Puritan
ism and he has done more for true liberty
than any man in history; though by what
curious alchemy the Puritan was transferred
into the New England Yankee to-day L can't
pretend to tell.

The toast to Gen. Sherman was greeted
with applause, the general responding. He
declared that though he was odd Gen.

him yet, and he was younger than he
