road, and that the presence of the police
and the determined fight they made pre-
vented a consummation of the dastardly
scheme. The amount of dynamite secreted
under the track was sufficient not only to
blow up the road bed and any car which
might have been passing, but would
have caused immense damage to
property in the vicinity. The matter
has been placed in the hands of the
authorities. An important event bearing
on the present trouble between the Suffer
and Geary street companies and their EN-
ployes has just been made public. 1t was
conference held between the representa-
tives of the railroad company on one side
and Mayor Bartlett and the police commits
sioners on the other. The commissioners
pointed out the heavy cost entailed on the
city in protecting the roads; the unpro-
tected condition of large part of the city
and the heavy duties imposed upon the
police by the present condition of things.
Mayor Bartlett suggested that some COM
promise be effected through a joint commit
tee of arbitration. The street car repre-
sentatves. however, refused to agree to
any outside interference to bring about
compromise, and the conference adjourned
without accomplishing anything. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss to the roads, as they
are now operated. is $TOO day to the
Suffer street and $500 day to the Geary
street. and it is stated that both companies
will bring suit against the city for recovery
of damages to the extent of their losses.

DIR. .I,GLlNN,S CASE.
A Rod i'm Pickle for a Priest who
Has Kicked Clear over the


NEW YORK, Dec 2S.-The World is at
last enabled to state on the very best of au-
thority that Rev. DR.. McGlynn is under in
definite suspension, both as rector and as
a pr lest. A priest high in authority in the
archiepiscOpal diocese, and holding close
official relations with Archbishop Corrigan,
said last night:
The statements thatIDr. McGlynn has been
summoned to Rome TO defend himself are all
at fault. DR.. McGlynn has been summoned
to Rome for cenSure, and the only thing left
for him to do Is to recant The idea of the
Catholic church advocating the abolition of
property in land is prepOSterouS. The CathO-
lie church does not advocate the abolition Of
property in land and will not do so. That is
communism, and the church has pronounced
against the communist. Besides, it is absurd
to say that the abolition of property in land
will remedy the evils of poverty. Its effect,
on the contrary, will be to intensity them. l
do not know what McGlynn intends to dc
about going to Rome. but my own opinion is
that he is not going. AS to latitude-there is
no latitude. He has been summoned to Rome
and he is expected TO go at once. OF course,
if he has written to Rome submitting any
good reason why he cannot go Immediately,
he will be granted a reasonable extension OF
time, but do not believe he has done this. 1
believe he has simply ignored the whole
whole attitude for many years has been one
OF antagonism to the policy of the Catholic
church. He first opposed the establishment
of parochial schools as un-American and an
tagonistic TO the public school system. Now,
the establishment of parochial schools is
designed for the purpose of teaching religion
in the schools, which we cannot expect to do
in the public schools, as they are designated
for children of all denominations. Then,
again, when the question of depriving the
pope of his temporal power came up, he
rather took position against the pope in the
matter, which, to sai the least,7 was, not
exactly Catholic; and finally, when this agita-
ton against property in land arose, he took
start against the church again.Ic Now the
archbishop has dealt very leniently with DR..
McGlynn, and given him every opportunity
to set himself right. But he declined to set
himself right. and as the matter was an i'm
portant one there was nothing left for the
archbishop to do but to refer his case to Rome.
There it is at present, and Rome must decide
it. Rome does not care for individuals. The
maintenance of discipline is much more i'm
portant to Ler than the influence of an indi-
vldual, no matter what estimation he may be
held in by his congregation"

GEN. LOGAN,S BURIAL.

The remains of Senator LOGAN will find
a temporary resting place at the national
capital until it is finally determined where
they shall permanently repose. There
ought to be no question about his burial
place. Chicago is entitled to the honor of
keeping guard over the grave of her most
distinguished citizen. There was his home,
and there should be his burial place. His
fame is part of the history of Illinois and
one of its brightest pages. 1t was as rep
resentative and senator from Illinois that
he won his civic laurels. It was as the
commander of an Illinois regiment that he
marched to the field where he won his mill
tary laurels. With the exception of Lin
coin he was the most illustrious son of lii
nois. Now that life's fitful fever is over
to rest well he should rest on the bosom of
the state to whose annals he added so much
luster. And there is no place in the state
more appropriate for his burial place than
the great metropolis which he had selected
for his home while living.

HOW THEY WORK.

Congress adjourned for the holidays but
the railroad lobby did not take recess.
The lobbyists are just as industriOusly at
work during the holiday season as at other
times Their object is to defeat the inter.
state commerce bill, and they are getting
their work in in good shape. The principal
holiday work in this direction has been in
manipulating boards of trade in the various
towns and cities of the country and getting
them to send in protests against the passage
of the bill. The object of this is to create
The impression upon congress that the COM
nercial interests of the country are opposed
to the interstate commerce bill. In num-
Der of instances this lobby scheme has
worked successfully, Where commercial
bodies refuse to protest against the bill the
lobbyists endeavor to get from them an
unfavorable expression against some
feature of it, the prohibiting pooling clause,
for instance. or the one referring to rebates.
Of course it is general surprise to the coun-
try to learn that an interstate commerce
law would be injurious to the commercial
interests of the country. There has been a
popular impression that those engaged in
commercial pursuits were most directly in
terested in securing the passage of such
law. 1t will be demonstrated in time that
such is the fact. But while the country
stands aghast at the apparent revolution in
commercial sentiment congress will find
preteXt to postpone action on the inter-
state commerce bill, and the railroad lobby
lists will have gained their point. There
will be good deal of popular Indignation
when it is discovered that resolutions of
protest against the passage of the bill were
secured by the railroad corporations grant
ing to prominent members of the various
commercial bodies special rebates and ben
efts, but as this indignation will be directed
more particularly against the individuals
who sold their birth rights in exchange for
messes of pottage. the railroad lobbyists will
aot care a snap of the finger for it. By that
time they will have worked up some other
scheme to defer action on the subject.

THE EuTURE CAPITAL.

The death of Gen. LOGAN and the ILL
ness of President Cleveland at the same
time, and both resulting from rheumatism,
will awaken discussion about the unheaith-
mess of the Washington climate and will
probably renew the capital removal agita-
ton. The winter climate of Washington is
horrible. With always more or less miasma
prevailing and chilly damp atmosphere,
it is next to impossible for a per-
son to retain perfect health in the winter
time. A great deal of the vicious legiSla-
ton enacted by the national congress has
been attributed to the vicious effects of the
Washington climate. When the human
system is filled with malaria and constantly
congested with colds, and the human frame
continually racked and tortured with rheu-
matte and neuralgia pains, the human be-
ing so afflicted is capable of a great deal of
cussedness The distempered mind always
lends its tinge to human action. The
proposition made several years ago
to remove the national capital to
st. Louis on account of securing
emore central location was successfully
eembatted because of the climatic conditions

SENATORIAL CHAT.

1t is understood in confidential quarters
that Gov. DAVIS has confidence In his
ability to WIN the senatorial plum, either IN
caucus or out of it, and wouldn't give the
toss of nickel whether there IS a caucus
nomination or not. 1t is fm thermore
whispered into the GLOBES ear that the
governors confidence has been strengthened
by the fact that all of the opposition is
erystallizing toward Senator MCMILLAN.
He regards the latter gentleman as about
the weakest opponent that could be arraYed
against him, and the principal foundation
for this opinion is that there is popular
feeling prevailing that Minnesota has been
represented long enough in the national
councils by the ''old granny" type Of
statesmen. Inasmuch as the GLOBE is no
body's personal organ. and would not. if
it could, enter into the confidence of aspir-
ing politicians in giving currency to this
bit of confidential gossip. it treats it as it
does all such matters, purely from news
standpoint. At the same time it is not
disposed to quarrel over the proposition that
1t is about time for Minnesota to get
rid of the ''old granny" type of states
men. In getting rid of the old grannies it
is not necessary. however, to swing around
10 the other extreme by bringing political
babies to the front-men who are infants
in the art of politics and in the science of
government. There is a happy medium,
comprising men of brain and experience and
high moral qualities. These are the men
who are needed I'M public places at this
time. We want men with clear-cut con-
victions and courageous honesty and intel
leetual ability to stamp their individuality
upon national legislation. We say this
without intended application to candidates,
and without partisan feeling or prejudice.
We say it simply because it is a truth that
the people of Minnesota ought not to be
slow to recognize. If the majority of the
members. of the legislature belong to the
sold granny" school of politics, then an old
granny will be elected senator. If the ma
jority consists of the baby type of states
men, pigmy will be elected. But if the
majority have respect for intellectual abil-
ity and high moral qualities, then a senator
of that type will be elected. And Mime
sofa will be proud of him and of the legis-
lature that elects him. 1t all depends on
the character of the legislature

Passenger Trainseoliide.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-There was an
accident on the Metropolitan branch of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad to-day in which
two colliding passenger trains were badly
wrecked. The collision was between No.
81 going west from Washington and the
second section of No. IL coming from Chi
cago. The Chicago train was very late
and should have taken the siding at Rock
vile. hut instead tried to make the siding
at Silver Springs. 1t was within three
miles of the latter when it collided with the
Gaithersburg train from this city that left
at $50 o'clock. The Gaithersburg train
was also making for switch when the coll
lision occurred. and each train was about
equally distant from their respective sid
ings at the time of the accident. The
trains following the accident took the route
by way OF the relay house. Conductor
Ridenour, of the Gaithersburg train, was
badly injured, and a number of passengers
were cut and bruised, but none seriously

VESSELS RIRNED.
TWO Sfea mera ard FOur Barges De-
strOyed by Fire at Cairo.

CAIRO, ILL.,. Dec. 2S.-Fire at 6 o'clock
this morning destroyed the Mississippi Val
ley Transportation steamer r. S. Hayes and
four barges, and the Anchor Line steamer
City of Natchez while lying at the bank.
The hre is supposed to have originated in
the aft cabin of the steamer Hayes, soon
enveloplng the whole boat, burning her to
the waters edge. The fire spread to the
City OF Natchez, lying just below the
Hayes, and in few moments she too was
mass OF flames. The barges alongside of
the Hayes, loaded with cotton, soda, ash
and sundries, also took fire and were COM
pletely destroyed. Nothing but the wrecks
of the burned hulls remain. The City of
NatcheZ was built at JefferS0nyille three
years ago and was valued at 500. 900.
She was one of the finest boats on the Mis-
sissippi. The Hayes was built by the
Valley company about five years ago and
was valued at about $50, 900. The loss of
the barges and contents will make the loss
reach about $1,000. 600. The insurance is
not known at present A strong north
west wind at the time of the fire held the
boats into the bank and prevented tugs
from saving the feet. Two barges lying
ON the outside of those burned were cut
loose and towed to safe hafbor by tugs.
The wrecked burning bulls are being towed
to the other side OF the river and beached.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2S.-The commit

a further conference this morning with
General Manager Mcleod, and upon its
conclusion announced that everything had
been settled satisfactorily to all concerned.
The committee. however. remained in the
building, and drew up articles of agree
ment which they will submit to the officers
of the company for their signatures. They
say that the understanding with the gen.
eral manager was simply verbal one, and
that they must have the agreement in deli
mite terms before submitting it to the meet
ing of employees for their approval. In the
meantime Master Workman Kelly has tel
egraphed to the men along the line that a
settlement has been reached.
The agreement between the Reading
railroad general mananager and the Port
Richmond strikers has been signed. Both
parties to the agreement decline to make
known its terms.

CHICAGO,S MIX.

Something of a sensation has been created
in Chicago by the discovery of the fact that
the town is full of bigamists. The Chicago
divorce mill has capacity about equal to
all the Minneapolis Touring mills combined.
There is no telling how many divorces are
turned out in Chicago every month. And
the divorce DEGREES are nearly all obtained
by default of the defendants to answer the
complaint. The usual rule has been to get
divorce one day and remarry the next. 1t
so happens that there is an old Illinois
statute which prohibits party obtaining
divorce by default from remarrying for
three years after the granting of the decree.
This law had been lost sight of by
some means until it was resurrected
the other day by judge whose
patience had been worn out by
he application of divorce seekers. 1t puts
a great many Chicago families in bad
shape. The existence of the law nullifies
all the marriages that were contracted by
parties who had been divorced by the
courts and who married again before the
three years expired. More than that, it makes
the head of these families liable to prosecu-
ton for living together without being mar
ried. 1t will also destroy the legitimacy of
great many children born in this illegal
wediock. and will complicate the settlement
of great many estates, as well as invalidat-
ing some titles to property. Taken alto
gether it leaves Chicago society in mixed
condition. But Chicago people can't blame
anybody but themselves for this trouble.
They have been sowing the divorce wind
for good while. Now they are beginning
to reap the whirlwind.
