TO WHAT BASE USES.

In default of rich American purchasers
with artistic tastes, noted English artists are
selling their productions to business firms
which make advertising Autographs from
the pictures. Painters, however much
they may dislike this cheapening of their
art. must live and thus making virtue of
necessity, find their time fully occupied in
meeting the demands upon their skill from
this new source England. it seems, is
just beginning to follow after the numer-
Gus ingenious advertising methods which
have become so prevalent in America.
methods which can not be considered other
than unfortunate since they involve the dis
figuring of the landscape with unsightly
signs and the desecration of natural scenery
with the brush and paint pot. The evil
will doubtless become in time as rampant
abroad as 1t is in this country, although the
veneration which the average foreigner
generally possesses for anything savorlng
of antiquity may for time delay the de-
facement of meadow and mountain

this is misdrected energy. 1t is time and
money spent without bringing the largest
possible return. The newspaper is the only
true advertising medium. In no other way
is the eye of the public so well reached,
according to the testimony of the largest
and most experienced advertisers. The
wise merchant. then, will be that one who
makes liberal and exclusive use of his local
newspapers to make his bargains known.
The lithograph picture and the sign may
serve their purpose very well so far as they
go, but they don't go far enough. In COM
parison with the ground covered by the
daily newspapers they don't go at all.

AK UNBRIDLED DEMON.

The storm at Foster, o., Friday night
upsets the theory that cyclones do not spring
up in the night time. 1t was between 10
and II o'clock in the night when the wind
god gathered his black legions and swept
down upon the towns of Foster and Ken
ton The victims of his wrath were people
who had retired to rest for the night. In
one instance couple who were sleeping to-
gether were lifted up, bed and all,
by the cyclones power, and carried long
distance without being injured. The fact
is, the cyclone is becoming more and more
mystery. just as science has, in its own
estimation, satisfactorily worked out an eX-
PLANTATION of the causes and movements of
cyclones, one will spring up somewhere
and be guilty of such remarkable eccentrici-
ties. that all former scientific deductions are
knocked into SmithereenS.

Trouble Anticipated.

CHICAGO May 16.-A number of lum-
bermen whose yards are situated in the
southwestern part of the city appealed to
the police department to-day for protection
tomorrow against anticipated trouble with
stockyards men. This protection was
promised them, and Lieut.. Shepherd, of the
Hinman street station was ordered to de-
tail sufficient number of his men in the
yards to put down anything in the nature
of a riot that might be attempted. A cer-
tain class of men employed at the stock
yards claim that the giving in of the lumber
yard employees and their return to work in
terferes seriously with their plans, and con-
sequently they threaten to parade the
streets tomorrow and endeavor to prevent
men from going to work in the lumber

LOADED DOWN WITH RUNDLEs.

LOA DED DOWN WITH BUNDLES.
1.-THE old women travelling salone know my
wife the moment they set their eyes ON her
and kind of expect her to help them. For a
while objected to carrying these bundles for
them and giving them all sorts of advice and
direction about what they should do in chang
ing to new road or what hotel they should
take on getting to a certain place. 1 don't
object now.
ssYears ago we were coming over the Han
nibal g. St. Joe road, from st. Joe to Quincy.
My wife had found an old woman who was
going to Vincennes, Ind, and 1 was called
upon to give the old lady directions as to the
best way and roads of reaching her destination
We got in the sleeping car and the old lady
remained in the coach forw ard. During the
night the sleeping car became detached from
the train, for in those days they didn't have
the air brake and all these patent couplers
and it was easy for coupling to Slip 1t was
down grade and the sleeper started back for
st. Joe.
1.-THE old lady, my wife's protege, first dis
| covered that the sleeper was detached. She
| got up in the middle of the car, for her car
was next to the sleeper, and wringing her
| hands, said:
Mrs. Smith is left behind
"She also pulled the bell rope and made the
| trainmen aware the sleeper had been left. al
| though she made it appear first that it was my
wife who was left. The train backed down
| and got the sleeper, and just had time to pull
4 in on the switch at Brookfield and let the

The Tailors, Strike Ended.

CHICAGO, May 16.-The strike of the
journeymen tailors and tailoresses is virtu-
ally at an end. 1t was understood on Sat-
urday night that the majority of the boss
tailors in shops throughout the city would
open tomorrow morning and the tailors
and army of idle sewing women would re-
sumo work. This action was agreed upon
at the meeting of the tailor
esses' union Saturday when the report
received from the contractors offering
10 per cent. increase on piece work and ten
hours pay for nine hours work was read.
Although this concession was not regar ded
favorably by many of the strikers it was
deemed advisable by those most interested
in furthering the welfare of the sewing
girls to accept it, as so large a proportion
of them are unable to endure the pressure
of continuation of the strike sufficiently
long to force a compliance with their orig
inal demand. Some of the strikers ex-
pressed bitter disappointment at the accept
ance of these terms.

PRESS AND PULPIT.

In his sermon reported in this mornings
GLOBE the Rev. Mr.. MITCHELL states
that. outside of its religious teachings, the
church is the greatest police force in the
world. This statement is based on the
fact that in all countries turbulence and
violence increase in proportion to the de-
crease of the churches. and the reverse,
that where churches most abound law and
order most prevail. 1t is an undeniable
fact that in this sense the church is pow
erful conservator of the peace. The more
numerous the churches the more numerous
are the church-going people. And people
who are regular worshipers in church
edifices, whether in kirk, chapel, cathedral,
synagogue. mosque or pagan temple, learn
lessons in the duty of obedience to law and
receive a useful discipline in making them
loyal to the powers that are over them.
The church is an effective police power, and
its usefulness in this respect must be admit
ted by all men. But it is not conceded by
all that it is the greatest police force in the
world. 1t may be trifle immodest in
newspaper to say so, but the truth and JUS
tice warrant it, the press is the greatest
police force in the world.

A Big DistiiIery turned.

PEORIA, ILL.,, May 16.-At an early hour
this morning the watchman at the Enter
prise distillery at Pekin discovered the
building to be OH fire. An alarm was at
once given, but before the firemen reached
the scene the building was wholly enveloped
and the fire beyond control. The dstillery
with all machinery and contents was
entirely destroyed. The building con-
tanned 200, 900 bushels of grain and SO. 600
gallons of alcohol. Four cars of corn, on
the track, are also destroyed, together
with all government books. The total value
of the property is estimated at $3.50. 900. on
which was an insurance of about Sos 900.
The fire originated in the back room, and was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary.
The distillery was owned by Spellman &
Doheny, the firm recently expelled from the
whisky pool. The proprietors offer re-
ward of SIS, 900 for the arrest and conviction
of the person who fired the building. They
will rebuild.

Will Apneal 20 the country.

LONDON, May 16.-An informal council
was held last evening, and to-day Mr..
Gladstone held conferences with his col
leagues. 1t is reported that, yielding to the
urgent advice of Mr.. Morely and Lord
Spencer, Mr.. Gladstone has decided. in the
event of defeat, to demand from the queen
an immediate dissolution of parliament.
The Liberal association leaders in the
provinces have sent letter to Mr.. Glad
stone, pleading with him not to resign, but
to appeal to the country. with the certainty
of securing a majority. MIR. Chamberlain
is deluged with Radical protests. To a
Birmingham Liberal who had written that
Mr.. Chamberlain's action had destroyed
all chances of his ever attaining the
leadership of the Liberals, Mr.. Chamber
lain replied that he would sooner forsake
politics than to consent to measures that
would prove disastrous to the country.
Mr.. Gladstone's committee has asked Mr..
Chamberlain to formulate statement of
the concessions that would reconcile him.

WANTS A QUIET WEDDING,

1t is given out by Mr.. CLEvELAND's
friends that when the president brings his
bride to the White house he doesn't want
any public demonstration made over the
event. The public will be disposed to re-
spect the presidents wish in this regard
and will permit him to pass quiet honey
moon. At the same time there is many an
old Democratic heart that will sigh for the
opportunity to make the presidents we'd
ding revival of that popular old custom,
which prevailed in the days of the fathers
of Democracy, of celebrating the event
with real old-fashioned calathumpian
serenade. There would be touch of JEFF
fersonlan simplicity about it that would be
very grateful to the hearts of the old
timers

The Bohemtans Insu1ted.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Leading Bohemian
residents of this city held meeting to-day
and expressed their Indignation that the in
citing of the recent riots should be attrib-
uted to citizens of their nationality
Adolph Krons. member of the board of
education. emphasized the fact that one of
the policemen shot during the riot, August
Keller. was Bohemian, that no Bohemian
had been arrested ON account of the riot
and that not half dozen Bohemians took
part i'll the Easter parade, ''when the
American flag was dragged in the dirt and
the red flag unfurled." Other speeches
were made, in which the sentiment was
general that it was the duty of every Amer
lean citizen and of every alien who enjoys
the hospitality of this free land to cheer
fully obey the laws.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Poor Prospects for Much Legisla
ton in the House.

WASHINGTON. May 16.-The week will
open in the house with overladen calendars
and conflicting special orders for nearly
every day and small chances for action after
tomorrow upon anything except appropri-
alton bills. An effort will be made by the
public lands committee to pass tomorrow,
under suspension of the rules, the bill
requiring the Northern Pacific Railroad
company to pay the costs of surveying and
patenting its granted lands, measure that
was called up On the last committee sus-
pension day and which comes over as I'M
morrow will ASK the house to fix day
for the consideration of the bills reported
from the committee and now on the calen-
dars. The invalid pensions committee will
also make an attempt to secure day for
the consideration of the arrears of pensions
and other pension measures. The urgent
deficiency bill will be called up for action
on Tuesday, and the foreign affairs commit
tee will then endeavOr to secure final action
on the Chinese indemnity bill. Wednesday
is set apart for the consideration of the
ARMY REORGANIZATION BILL,
but it is likely to be displaced by the report
of the poStoffice committee to the senate
amendments to the postoffce appropriation
bill. and lively debate may be expected
when the so-caIled subsidy amendment is
reached. If the banking and currency COM
mittee can secure the floor on THU sday in
accordance with assignment, it will try to
push one of the bills providing for the issue
of small silver certifcstes. Saturday is as
singed for the discussion of the Dunn free
ship bill. The legislative and naval appro-
priation bills will, in all probability, be re-
ported to the house during the week, and
may be called up for consideration. to the
displacement of some of the special orders
above mentioned. The general pension bill
remains the unfinished business of the sem
ate, and if disposed of before the expiration
of this week, will probably be followed by
the bankruptcy bill. The regular order
will be to temporarily set aside some day
not yet determined upon for the purpose of
passing the military academy appropriation
bill That portion of the morning hours
not consumed by the routine business will
be devoted to the miscellaneous calendar.

CONGRESSIONAL BRIBERY.

The fact that the CULLoM railroad bill
was passed by the senate is no guarantee that
it is going to become a law. In fact the
chances are all against it. 1t is true that
it is long step forward when any sort of
an interstate commerce bill which under
takes to regulate railway transportation
can pass the senate. But the influence of
the lobby is still strong enough to
defeat its final passage, or at least
to put it in such shape that its enact
ment would practically amount to nothing.
Inthe first place, the bill passed by the
senate has no penalty attached for its vio-
lation. Every citizen who desired to seek
relief under its provisions would be COM
PEELED to do so at his individual expense
and by his personal effort. The govern
ment doesn't stand between him and the
corporations in the courts. This is in effect
equivalent to saying that if the bill is
passed the railroads can violate the law
with impunity. In the second place, Mr..
EDMUNDs succeeded in tacking on quail
ifying clause to the CAMDEN amend
ment which makes it read in such bung-
ling way that a Philadelphia lawyer couldn't
that the senate was careful to exclude
the section proposed by Mr.. PLUMB, which
prohibited members of congress from ac-
cepting free passes on railroads. The
senators expressed Indignation at the in
sinuation that they could be bribed with
such paltry thing as a railroad pass.
Whatever the senators may think about it,
the public takes an entirely different
view of it, and so do the rail-
eToads. These passes are given to public
men because they are in public life and not
as purely personal matter. The object
is to influence their official conduct. either
directly or indirectly, and the member of
congress who accepts the pass does so with
knowledge of that fact Senators may
profess to be indignant at the mention OF
such charge, and it may be CLOSED over
with sophistry in attempt to deny it, yet
the people know that the system of grant
ing free passes to members of congress is
nothing more nor less than a species OF
bribery. Therefore it is useless to expect
any sort of railroad bill to pass congress
that will be of much practical benefit to the
people until the members of congress and
the railroad managers dissolve partnership.

NEW YORK BRIBERY CASES.

There is a pretty healthy public senti-
ment in New York city after all. Ii there
was not, Aid. JAEHNE would have been
acquitted. While the evidence against
him was reasonably clear, there was just
enough of uncertainty about it to give
room to technical quibbling which might
have resulted in his acquittal in commu-
nifty where there is less moral stamina than
in New York. Although JAEHNE has con-
fessed his guilt the confession was made to
an officer who had tricked him into 1t,
which gave enough of the appearance OF
having been made under duress to have in
validated it under ordinary circumstances,
and especially so when he took the stand
himself and swore positively to the con-
trary of the detectives statements. But so
impressed was the public mind with the
belief that JACOB SHARP had bribed the
New York alderman it took very little
eyidence-eyen circumStantial evidence
to convince fair-minded jury of the guilt
of the indicted parties, The fact that a
jury was. secured that could not be tam
pered with is the best evidence of a healthy
moral sentiment in New York. Now that
JAEHNE has been convicted, his associates
in crime will be trotted right along after
him to the state prison, and the example
thus set will deter New York aldermen in
the future from accepting bribes. The
fact is that the public eye is resting closely
on all public officers just at this time, and
whenever sign of official corruption is de-
tected an Investigation is going to follow in
short order. And it takes a mighty slick
official to cover up his tracks these days so
well that they cannot be uncovered when
the detectives get on the trail. The New
York board of aldermen were not able to
do it, and it doesn't often occur that munic-
ipal governments have shrewder officials
than are found in New York.
