THE NEW GLOBE BUILDING.

In our Christmas number was printed
cut of the new GLOBE building, which was
to be. 1t is gratifying to us to be able to
announce that this building now has a
foundation Oh which to stand-a fOunda-
ton as solid and everlasting as the rock of
Gibraltar. BY reference to our local
columns this morning it will be seen that
yesterday the purchase Of the most eligible
lot in the city was made on which is 10 be
erected the finest and most complete news
paper building i'm the West. This enter
prise has been necessitated by the rapidly
increasing business of the GLOBE
under its present management One year
ago the present comfortable home of the
GLOBE was cOmm0d ious enough for its pur
poses. But within the year the GLOBE has
outgrOwn its present quarters, and finds
that ii is now an absolute necessity to seek
more ample accommodations. 1t is eX-
pected that the new building will be large
enough 10 accommodate us for some time to
come. 1t will be built at a cost of $780,
600, and will not only be an ornament to
the metropolitan city of the Northwest, but
will be the most complete and conveniently
equipped metropolitan newspaper estab
lishment in the country, including, as it
will, all the departments of job work, book
binding, lithographng, and everything con
nected with a first-class metropolitan news
paper Office.
The GLOBE feels that il cannot let this
occasion pass without again expressing its
gratitude to the generous public whose pa
tronage has made this expansion of room
necessary, and TO renew its assurances that
the public will never have cause TO feel that
its confidence has been misplaced. As the
years 90 by and the GLOBE continues TO eX-
tend its business, its growing prosperity
will be marked by increased diligence and
an untiring effort on the part of its manage
ment 10 keep it TO the front as an enterpris-
ing newspaper, and TO continue TO exert its
influence for the public good.

EpeGl4l 10 Tue GlOue-
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-There will be
a caucus Of the senate and house Democrats
some time this week for the purpose of APP
pointing a new congressional committee Tor
the conduct of the coming campaign.
There will probable be a general discussion
at that time on the policy Of the party. 4
number % Democrats are anxious 10 have
the house Investigation on the tele-
phone scandal begun as early as
possible. 50 that can be passed on by the
Democrats and disposed of long before the
campaign begins. The investigation which
will be ordered by the committee on rules
into the telephone business will bring 10 the
city a number of visitors who flock here in
time of political excitement. The DEBATE
in the senate promises 10 bring number Of
the people who have been waiting for some
general political discussion. 1t is perhaps
well that the governments suit to test the
validity OF the Bell patent is in charge of
special counsel. for it now appears that the
senate judiciary committee Is inclined
to reject the nomination of Solicitor Gen
eral GOOde lie is supposed 10 have full
charge Of the case. 1t is said IN some cir
cles that the suit will not be brought until
the house investigation is over. This can
hardly be true. as the investigation promises
10 be long. and like all congressional in
quiries, will probably reach beyond any es-
timate that can be made OF the time re-
quired for the work. The managers of the
case are very Teticent, because nothing Is
vet really determined. Mr.. Garland has re-
quested 4 conference with the president
The latter is anxious 10 have Mr.. Garland
give up his stock. lie has prUIesSed great
willingness 10 part with L. but does
not see his way clear. Ii Is clear
that J. Harry Rogers Will legally
protest against Mr.. Garland's transferring
the stock and it is reasonable To suppose
that Mr.. Garland is not anxious to go into
court with the Rogers. The only way he
can avoid the suit will be TO give the stock
back 10 the man who made him the FIRST
gft of it. Speaker Carlisle viii not call
the committee until tomorrow, or prob
ably Wednesday. Ii will not be in session
any length of time. 1t will require very
little discussion 10 adopt the resolution of
investigation. As soon as the committee
makes its report, Speaker Carlisle Will
name the special committee, which Will
probably not organize until the following
week. The investigation will therefore
get under way in about two weeks.

Although Senator FRYE denies that he
has any such ulteror purpose in view as q
revival of the MONROE doctrine in urging
the passage Of his bill to provide for the
cultivation Of closer commercial and politi-
cal relations between all the American ma
tons, still it does not require that power of
sight which enables one to look through a
milestone To see that this measure will be
the first step i'm the direction of bringing
about an ultimate enforcement of the Mon
ROE doctrine. Ii opens the way for ii. at
least. Admitting the sincerity of Senator
FRYE's intention to confine the operations

in ii, It's object is commemorate
and will doubtless attract the favorable at
t.,atiou from congress 1t deserves. There
ere reasons why the nations of the Ameri-
can continent should form commercial
and political alliance. and it is peculiarly
appropriate that the United States should
take the lead in bringing about this union.
The United States is the most powerful of
the American nations and is the model re-
public of the world. There are special
reasons why tho United States should seek
to cultivate commercial relations with its
neighbors OF South and Central America
Their commerce naturally belongs IL us.
yet it has been diverted 10 European coasts.
ii is our duty to bring it back. and the
conference proposed by Senator FRYEs
dill will De a long step in this direction.
The results OF such conference cen OF fail
TO impress our neighboring American IA
tons with the importance of combining their
trade to American waters, and of establish
ing free interchange of products But as
great as will be the commercial advantages
secured by the proposed union the political
benefits TO be attained are of still greater
consequence. Under the influence OF such
an alliance there would result a complete
reconstruction of the governments of
all the South and Central Amerl-
can states on the basis of our own
political fabric. In the presence of the
living glory of our institutions they cannot
fail to be impressed with the moral of the
grandeur and greatness of our form of gov
eminent. When brought into closer con
tact with us. they will be inspired with the
genius of this government, which, like
