St. Paul daily globe., 1886-02-19

Here in the Northwest where the condi-
tions of life are such that cases of extreme
want or destitution are happily the eXcep-
ton, it is difficult to realize the determined
spirit of an organized mob, whose sole OBJ
ject is TO fight back the gaunt spectre of
starvation ndswhose battle cry is none the
less terrible and significant because it COM
prises the single word bread" Favored by
bountifnl nature, we have not only sufficient
for our own wants but invite those of other
sections and other nations who find
themselves failing in the struggle for ex-
istence TO come and share in our abundance.
But a sadly different state of affairs is agi-
tating an over-crowded Canadian province.
The town of Paspebiac lies at the mercy of
a mob driven by the pangs of hunger to a
condition in which it is no longer respon-
sble for its actions. Hundreds of people
in the formerly prosperous town hsve been
living for days upon one meal a day. and
that consisting of potatoes and salt, hun
dreds of others are looking gioomily for
ward to the time when even these
scanty means of subsistence will be ex-
hausted and then-the end. In the mean
while. the piteous cries of little children for
bread, which the parents can not give, have
steeled the hearts of stalwart fathers to a
desperation which the sloth of the Cana
dian government in responding to appeals
for aid has done much to augment. From
law-abiding citizens they have become act
uated with but one thought-to get bread
honestly il possible, but, if necessary, by
violence rather than to allow their help
less children to starve before the
very eyes. However true it may be that
the workmen of Paspebiac earn good wages
during the summer months and should in
time of plenty prepare themselves for thu
long and idle days of a Canadian winter,
the statement loses its point in the presencI
of actual suffering. 1t is no longer a ques
ton of what ought have been done in tn,
past, but what should be done at once
There can be no excuse for delay on tn,
part of the Canadian authorities. So lOnl
as they are dilatory, for every death thai
occurs in Paspebiac because of the mob's
violence or the lack of sufficient food, they
VIII be directly responsible.

their personal influence with the appoin ing
power. 1t Is given out that President
CLEVELAND does not propose to give these
favored officers the advantage they gained
by their personal influence with former ad-
ministrations. but that he proposes to re-
wise the entire list of army officers and will
make future appointments according TO the
rank the officers would have held II no IA
voritism had prevailed This announce
ment has created hustling among the OIL
GERS along the entire line. Every one who has
had jump made over his head is busy
at work to get evidence of the fact that the
aforesaid jump was made because of favor
itism. Those who have done the jumping
are equally as busy collecting evidence to
show that the promotion was the result of
merit and distinguished service, and not be-
cause of favoritism. And so it goes that
there is a general mix and scnffie. The
president viii doubtless wish before he gets
through with the work that he has under
taken, that he had been satisfied to take up
the work just where he found it and had
let the promoting go on according TO the
roster, as it now exists. 1t is cOmmendable
in the president that he signifies a willing
ness to 90 back and right old wrongs, but
he will find that 1t is going to give him no
end Of worriment before he gets through,
with every probability OF giving no more
satisfaction when he Is done than he would
If he was to let the promotion 90 on in the
regular way.

Cannon Much Abused.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb 1s.-The Deseret
News claims that George Q. Cannon, while
under arrest by United States marshal,
did not attempt to escape by jumping from
the train; that Cannon was suffering from
diabetes; that the car was very hot, and
that he went out upon the platform to
get fresh air. and that sudden
lurch of the train threw him off, causing
him TO fall upon his face and iniuring him
severely about the head, face. arm and
thigh, and that he was wandering aimlessly
along the track when found. The News
says that no one there believed Cannon
tried TO escape, that his man
ner of striking the ground proved
1t accidental, that, besides. he had had sew
eral better opportunities, that the bottle of
water found on his person had been filed
several times i'm the presence of the
marshal. and that the bread, according to
CannOn's own statement. was to enable
him to stay in the car and
avoid crowds at the eating houses. The
News charges that the sending of soldiers
TO guard Cannon the rest of the journey was
for effect outside of Utah and that the mill
tary were cruelty harsh TO the prisoner,
who was a very sick man.

ST. PAUL,s OPPORrUNITY.

While the chamber of commerce is con-
sidering the best method of inducing manu-
facturers to locate in st. Paul il might gain
a valuable pointer in one respect from Miles
City, Mont. lndueements have been held
forth by the enterprising business men Of
that thriving town. typical of Western
energy, to certain capitalists, looking to-
wards the establishment there of a beef
packing plant The prospects for success
are said 10 be very fair. The time
when Chicago shall cease TO hold the
supremacy in this industry is fast drawing
near, and ST. Paul, rather than more
western points, should be the natural sue
ceSsor. But il she passively recognizes the
opportunity and does not beStir herself un-
til Miles City and other Western towns of
enterprise have stepped in, when she does
awaken to realizing sense of her mistake
ii will be a day too late for the fair. and
others will have reaped the benefit
of her sloth. Cattlemen dread the
long haul to the Chicago market
and yet find it more advantageous TO
dispose of their stock at populous eenters,
supplied with every convenience in the way
of transportation and handling facilities.
In these Miles City cannot compete with
st. Paul The natural place for such an
industry is right here, and it depends upon
local enterprise alone whether we shall
have it. The advantages are many and un-
deniable, and st. Paul cannot afford to
lose such valuable addition to its business
interests. when, by so little exertion. COM
paratively. it may be secured. The matter
is well worthy careful consideration.

AnunnnfnrnI Mofher.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Mrs. Margaret
White made desperate attempt last even
ing to murder her two little children, and
but for the timely interference of James
DOherty, special policeman. she would
have succeeded. When crossing the Lake
Shore and Rock Island tracks at the Archer
avenue crossing he saw Mrs. White with
her fOur-year-old boy and six-year-Old girl
standing near a train of moving freight cars.
He noticed the woman trying to push the
little boy beneath the wheels of the moving
ears, but the little fellow screamed each
time and broke away from the mothers
grasp. The train had almost passed when
the woman deliberately showed the boy
under the slowly moving cars. DOherty
jumped to the little boys rescue. and was
just i'm time to save the little childs life.
The woman turned savagely on him and
exclaimed:
What did you do that for? My husband is a
drunkard. 1 am tired of life, but want to get
rid of these children first.
Her husband appeared before Justice
Mech this morning and stated that his
wife had attempted to take the life of the
children once before with an axe while she
was intOxica ed. The justice sent her TO
the Martha Washington Home with fine
OF $50.

GEN. SHERMAN EXPLAINS.
He Had ne Intention Of Detracting
From Grantss Fame

PITrsBUkG. Pa. Feb. 1s.-Gen. W. T.
Sherman arrived in the city to-day from
the funeral OF Gen. Hancock. In speaking
OF the newspaper structures upon his refer
ences TO Gems. Grant and Smith he said:

writing that sentence. meant that Grant
had gone down, down. down, aud now the op-
portunity had presented itself which gave
him a chance 10 Ilse by his own merit. If
Smith had lived it is questionable whether
the opportunity would have come to Grant

into play the forces of character. Frye never
made record. He was never in North Caro-
Ina His record is one on paper, and TO
keep that mp he must seek notOriety
IL is ridiculous TO suppose that !
meant TO detract from Grants fame.
The sentence occurs in letter
written TO Lieut. Scott to obtain some rec
ords which desired TO use in preparing u
eulogy of Gen. Grant, which L delivered be-
fore his old comrades of the army of the
Tennessee at its reunion in Chicago
on Sept. and 10. 1883. This letter was
written three days before, on Sept. 8, as il
was necessary that l should have some
data 1t is not at all probable that l wOulC
seek to detract from his excellence, when

Gen. Sherman insists that nearly every
thing he says and many things that h'
does not say are distorted and frequently
appear in the newspapers in an entirely
different form from his own expressions o.
thoughts.

THE M,CoRMICK pRrNCIpLE.

1t is evident that the present head of the
Mccormick Machine company at Chicago is a
young man lacking the wisdom and expert
enee which has heretofore been exhibited
i'm the management of that vast concern.
The elder MCCORMICK who founded the
company and brought it up TO its position
of wealth and power had himself been an
humble mechanic in early life, and from
practical knowledge knew the feelings and
experiences of the manual tOiler. The
months and years he had spent at the forge
as an apprentice in the plow manufacturing
shop down in the valley of Virginia had
qualified him for the management of the
great harvester machine works which he af-
forwards established at Chicago, and taught
him TO understand and sympathize with the
necessities of the thousand or more laborers
who found daily employment in his machine
works. The young gentleman who sue
ceeded to the management of the concern
at the death of his father was born to
wealth and has only theoretical knowl-
edge of labor. and consequently no sympa-
thy for the laborer.
Mr.. MCCORMICK asserts that he closed
his shops and threw l, 400 men out of EN-
ployment in the winter time in order TO in
| dicate a principle. He assumes that the
employer has the right TO say what eharac-
ter of labor he shall employ, and it is in de-
Tense of this principle that he has closed his
works. Primarily Mr.. MCCORMICK is
right, but, when considered in connection
with all the other features which are con.

he is wrong. He seems to forget that thers

side. and that where two principles antago-
nize each other there ought to be an attemp
at adjustment before resorting to cruel o
