admiring gaze of the rising generation
coupled with the injunction to go and do
likewise. Congressman were rather con-
sidered necessary evil whose day, while
individually soon done, was long time, in
the aggregate, coming to an end. But the
long suffering Westinghouse have decided
to change all that. Their patience has at
last been taxed to the utmost limit,
and with refreshing regard for
rectitude and righteousness in pub
lie servants, they will inaugurate far,
reaching reform. A system of espionage
will be established over all congressman.
Wherever they go and whatever they do
their movements will be carefully noted by
trusty detectives. Living in the constant
fear of certain exposure, which would fol-
low the slightest deviation from the straight
and narrow path, the next congress will be
heralded to men as an aggregation which
in moral excellence has never been equaled,
and the Washingtonians will live in the
peace and contentment which comes with
the consciousness OF ones duty well per-
formed. But the disintereStedness of this
fight which the residents of the capital will
make on behalf OF morality is brought some
what into question when it is known that
the information gained by the detective
bureau will be used to exert any pressure
that may be needed to secure votes for the
District of Columbia appropriations.

THE LII. ID. HuMRUG.

President CLEVELAND is continually
giving refreshing evidences of the posses
sion of good, old-fashOned horse sense,
which is SO rarely exhibited by people in
high places in these degenerate days that
when it does crop out it falls like benedic-
ton on the land. The latest exhibition of
the strong practical common sense for
which he is noted is his refusal to accept
the degree Of doctor of laws from Harvard
university. There was time when the
conferment of this degree was distinction
to be coveted. But in these latter days it is
sloshed out by the colleges and universities
with so much prOmiscuity that it has abSo-
lutely fallen into disrepute. Instead of
being badge of distinction, as it once was,
it is now looked upon as trif1ing toy with
which the favorites of fortune and the Great
ures of accident are decorated. 1t will be
remembered that few years ago Harvard
brought ridicule upon itself by refusing to
confer the degree upon Gen. BUTLER after
having made it a rule to make the degree a
part of the perQuisiteS of the govern
ors Office. Nobody blamed the college
for drawing the line on BUTLER, but every
body did blame the historic old university
for being SO prodigal with its degrees as to
make it necessary to draw the line on a
governor of the Bay state. In addition to
Mr.. CLEVELAND refusal to accept the
degree being a rebuke to the loose system
with which such degrees are conferred, it
is an honest confession that he does not
think himself entitled to it. He knows
that if he had never been raised above the
rank of a plain citizen of the city of Buff
falo the university trustees would never
have thought Of comforting any sort OF de-
gree upon him. The mere fact that he has
been elevated to the highest political office
in the country does not add to his literary
distinction. He is no more man of let
tiers than he was when he was a Buffalo
attorney. Consequently he looks upon the
Ill. d. conferment as a species Of tOady-
ism wholly out of accord with our simple
democratic institutions, and equally IN
worthy of college which places a value
upon its own system of education.

THE THROAT CUTTERS.

The wheat ring is beginning to gather
itself up after the big knock down it got,
and is by degrees manifesting the same old
arrogance which characterized it in former
days. 1t takes the bare plurality by which
McGILL has pulled through as an indorSe-
ment. and is already stepping to the front
to assume management of the next state
administration. The first deal is to capture
the legislature in the interest of wheat
ring candidate for United States senator
A representative of the ancient house of
milling aristocracy is already laying the
wires to capture the senatorShip. 1t is given
out cold that one reason why Mayor RICE
received such heavy vote in Hennepin
county was because the Hennepin county
Republican leaders did not think it prudent
to claim both representative and senator
OF course it is not very conf Orting to Mr..
GILFLI,AN to know that he was sacrificed
in the house of his friends for the pur-
pose of making room for another
son of Hennepin county in the senatorial
contest, Nor is it very cheering to Gov.
DAVIS prospects to learn that he has been
virtually traded off in advance OF the
election. But then Mr. GILFILLAN and
Gov. DAVIS should remember that they are
training with a cut-throat gang Of poll
ticians, and their own threats are liable
TO be cut whenever the emergency requires
it. AS Mr.. GILFILLAN lies sweltering in
his own blood, he can realize the conditions
which surround him. Gov. DAVIS hasn't
got that far along yet, but the sight OF
GILFILLAN'S assassination doubtless makes
him tremble for his own fate. He has
good cause for apprehension.

TOME FOR THE NEWSBOYs.

The initial impetus 10 IIle IhoNeuOHI "
found a home in this city for our street
arabs was given yesterday afternoon at the
meeting held in the rooms Of the Young
Mems Christian association. More definite
olans will be adopted at a meeting to be
neld tomorrow afternoon at o'clock at
the same place. in which representatives OF
all the churches in the city, Including
Protestant and Catholic, are invited to
narticipate. together with all other persons
who feel an interest in this work. While
no definite plans were adopted at yester-
DAVIS meeting, the subject was thoroughly
discussed and general idea formulated and
agreed upon as to what ought to be done.
In the first place, it was unanimously con-
Cured in that the institution should not be
merely an asylum for youthful Migrants
where the arabs are to be housed and fed,
and then permitted to continue to follow
life of vagrancy on the streets. The pur-
pose is to make it a home, a school and an
intelligence office combined. Rooms are to
be provided where the newsbOys and boot
blacks and all the homeless and friendless
children are to be lodged. A mild disci-
pline will be enforced and the boys taught
among other things the duty of self re-
spect. Proper instruction is to be given
them by the establishment of night schools
or such other means as may be most eX-
pedient to adopt. At the same time. con-
slant effort is to be made to secure good
homes for them.
This is one of those practical charities
that should enlist the cooperation of the
whole community. 1t is one that appeals
most directly and fOrcibly to our sympathies,
for we see the subjects for whom the char
ity is organized right before us every day.
Perhaps the bulk of our people do not real
ize what a tough experience the little
urchins who sell papers and black boots
have in a large city. If they could witness
the scenes that are witnessed about the
morning newspaper offices during the cold
winter nights they would be touched more
sensibly with the miserable condition o.
these poor children. When the mercury
sinks down to SO below zero the little
fellows are frozen out of their stOre-bOx
homes. and forced to quit the stable lofts
and seek a warmer refuge. The newspaper
establishments being the only places that
are open, they slip in, sometimes forty or
fifty in gang. and gather around the great
boilers in the engine-roOms, where they can
warm their frosted toes and fingers. Here
they Iinger until the morning light, and
then rushing to the counting-room, each
little fellow receives his bundle of papers
and goes out into the street to find buyers
L. hoxr aud
in this great city of wealth and charity
there ought to be interest enough mani
tested in them to provide means to tighten
their distress by at least providing them
with warm place to sleep.

DUBLIN, Nov. 9.-The Irish govern
ment has issued a circular denying that
Gen. Sir Redvers Bulwer personally ex-
amines cases of dispute between landlord
and tenant before granting police protec-
ton when asked for it. The circular says
he NAV listen to both sides in agrariah dis
putes for the purpose of obtaining private
information. but declares that tbs is never
done by him with view to either granting
or withholding police protection.
Kerry is described as beng in

NExCIrSABlE CRUELTY.

In a multitude of reasons which the Pho
neer Press assigns for the Republican dis
aster in this state, a prominent one is that
8Ir. MCGILL had no political reputation
and is a man of very ordinary ability. This
is the unkindest cut of all that poor Mr..
MCGILL has yet received. When the
GLOBE said the same thing in the canvass,
the ring organs hOwled over it and called it
Democratic mud-slinging. Now they
admit the truthfulness when there is no
necessity for saying anything about it. The
election is over and Mr.. MCGILL is a pretty
badly used up man anyway. When man
is down there is no use in rubbing sand in
his eyes. When the canvass was over the
GLOBE and other Democratic papers quit
fighting MCGILL. But the Pioneer Press
takes advantage of his helpless condition to
jump on his PROSTATE form. and tries to
stamp the life out of him. There is no sort
of excuse for such cruelty, and especially
from his late organ.

A PITCHED BATTLE.
Fierce Encounter Between Mexican
and 4mericam Ranchmeu.


SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 9.-Hewlitt
Griner, one of the most extensive ranchmer
in Western Texas was killed last night at Los
Vecos, Mexico, just across. the river from
Mel Rio, Texas. Griner lived with his family
at UvaldO, and had gone over into Mexico
with several employees to see about the con.
diton of his stock on ranch he owns there.
Some time ago he had difficulty with some
Mexicans living on a ranch adjoining
his hacienda, and the natives at that time
threatened to kill him if he again appeared
in their midst. Yesterday the Americans
were attacked by the Mexicans, and pitched
battle ensued. GriDer's body was riddled
with bullets. and one Of his men, JohE
Weaver. was also killed. B. +. Mahon who
was one of the Griner party, succeeded in
killing one of the MeXicans, and the surviving
Americans made their escape to this side OF
the river under a volley of bullets from tho
Winchesters OF the Mexicans. The Ameri

Archer's De ath.

LONDON. Nov. 9.-The newspapers all
publish articles deploring the untimely end
of Archer. The Times says:
His itiful death will cause a shock of pain,
even to the most callous, among he multitude
i'll whom it is to be feared the gambling pas
sion has almost extinguished feeling.
Sporting Life says;
Words fail to express our deep regret at
the death of the world-famed Jockey, Archer.
We are certain that this feeling will find an
echo in the hearts of myriads of men not
ONLY in this country, but in others where his
name is Il household word. Wherever the
English tongue is spoken, "Archer" is a
familiar sound.
The Prince of Wales has sent telegram
of coincidence to the dead Jockeys sister.
At the inquest in the case of Fred Archer
to day. it was proved that Archer had sus
tanned no losses in betting and that the
cause of his arrangement was typhoid
fever, aggravated by weakness due to the
restricted regimen which he had adopted in
order to reduce his weight. A verd ct of
suicide while insane was reported. 1t is
reported that Archer leaves $3.50, 900.

HOME MISSIONS.

Various home mission societies are now
engaged in holding annual meetings in va
rious portions of the country. Their re-
ports of work accomplished, while salts
factory, are in many cases surpassed, SO
far as the effort put forth and money ex-
pended is concerned. by the reports of man
ayers of foreign missions. This is not as
it should be- There is doubtless an eX-
tended field Of usefulness abroad. but it is
no more important and not nearly so per-
sonal as that existing at home That
''charity begins at home" may be an eX
preston trite enough. but it is none the
the less true for all tina t. In most cases
domestic missions have to do with far
more intelligent class of people than for
eign missions, and the results are
therefore prOpOrtiOnately much better
than in foreign lands. THE ratio
too, of good accomplished in foreign mis-
sions, is out of all proportion to the money
required to sustain them. There are alto
gether too many ways whereby 1t can leak
away before it is put to the use for which
it was originally subscribed, and the res ultS
attained are too frequently of an evanescent
character. With home missions the effect
is attained with fewer intermediary agents,
it is more telling. can be followed up to
better advantage. and is more likely to be
permanent. 1t is well, of course. to exert
an influence for good wherever it may be
possible, but if there are neither workers
nor subscribers enough To render possible
offoo+iva NUOrly in both diraotiOuS then nv
all means home missionary work should
have the preference over that which loses
itself in other lands.

at given time to pray for rain, which was
badly needed for the growing crops. AT

self.
What did you bring that for young
ster?" some one asked, with a smile.

mar, with which so many have wrestled in
their school days, was one of the most gen

years of his life he was professor of mathe-
MATES and astronomy in New England
college. There Was in one of his classes a
somewhat slow-witted though studious
young man, whom we may call Jones. On
a certain occasion. after Jones had repeated
carefully the text book statements about the
effects of the motions of the earth, and was
trying to remember what came next in the
book the professor interposed with:
Were you everin the shadow of the

Professor-''W here do you spend your
nights sir?''
Jones didn't want to tell.
