The Faithists or Shalamites, who have
selected New Mexico as the permanent
abiding place for their sect. promise in time
to outrival the MOrmOns of Utah in power
as well as in numerical strength. from the
fact that it presents more attractive sys-
TEN of false religion than Mormonism
does. 1t opposes MormOnism in that only
monogamic marriages are tolerated. At
the same time it owes its existence to so
called special revelation. and has its own
0ahspe or specially interpreted Bible. 1t
is sort of religious commune
in which all members enjoy common
spiritual as well as temporal benefits. The
community has no constitution or bylaws.
They live by their covenants, and no pro-
vision is made against evil people. The
principle of turning the left cheek when
the right is smitten and of giving the cloak
also when the coat is demanded, is the basis
of both church and temporal government.
No one censures or criticises another. and
the law of amity prevails in every depart
ment of life Like the Quakers and
Thinkers, they hold it sinful to engage in
war, and enforce the doctrine that 1t is bet
ter to die than to engage in strife. And
as a help to framing a peaceable condition of
the human mind, they practice vegetarian
ism, holding TO the belief that eating meats
is calculated to make one vicious and blood
thirsty.
The Faithists live in tents and adobe huts
and cook and eat communally. a large
building called the Fraternum has just been
completed for the exclusive use of life men,
bers of the society. Kindergarten schools
have been established for the children and
five hours of each day devoted to teaching.
The children are also required to work daily
from one to three hours each. One even
ing of each week is appropriated TO amuse-
ments, dancing. music, elOcution and
oratory. In order that there may be no
sort Of Partially exhibited at these enter
tainments a committee is appointed who
select partners for the dancers.
The religion of the Shalamites is that
there is one Jehovah or Creator, and ignore
all gods born of woman. They hold that
they have no concern as TO their own saliva
ton. but that their duty is TO save others,
and consequently have established an or
phan or founding hospital. into which
orphans and foundlings from all parts of the
world are received. Their ayowed mission
is to raise up generation of healthier and
wiser people than now inhabt the earth in
order that the world may be properly fitted
for the restoration Of Jehovahs kingdom on
earth; and to this end are anxious to secure
the custody OF all children that they can
have committed to their care. These chill
dren are brought up on a vegetable diet
and instructed in the doctrines of peace and
unselfishness. Manual training is made a
part Of the religious instruction.
The sect is growing stronger each year.
That class of people who are prone TO fol-
low after new religions are more apt to be
attracted by the freedom and by the com
munal features of the Shalamites than by
the oligarchical system of Mormonism.
And thus it is New Mexico in time will be
more largely populated with religious cranks
than Utah.

THE GRANT MONUMENT.

Gen. GRANTS fame is of that character
which does not need to be maintained by
the aid of an unsightly and meaningless
pile of stone. His place in history and the
loving memory OF his countrymen does not
depend upon the rearing of lofty monu-
ment nor will itbe any more effectually per-
petuated by such means. The passage, there
fore, by the senate of bill appropriating
$3.50. 600 for monument to his memory
can hardly be viewed in any light
but that of a mistake. 1t is
a large expenditure of money which is out
of all proportion to the good it may be ex-
pected to effect. Not large enough to erect
a monument which will be imposing simply
from its size, it is yet too large TO squander
upon an Indifferent memorial for the alleged
perpetuation of sentiment which requires
no such adyentitious aid. There can be no
objection to such a memorial, many eX-
amples of which adorn the squares of
Washington, as shall make no pretense
to be other than a graceful trib-
ute to great soldier. and which.
while shrinking from all ostentation and
needless expense, is still admirable from an
al Sio"S otahuPOllil. lcil, IL uctlneu ue-
sirable to still further honor the memory of
he valiant commander. let the remainder
of the money which the bill proposes to ap-
propriate be devoted to some practical
memorial, a charitable hospital. relief fund
for the needy, or something which, instead
of being an architectural monstrosity, will
cause its beneficiaries to recall with reverent
mind the man to whom, as a united
people, we owe so much to-day.

INDICATING GOODE.
Norfolk witnesses Give Him a Good
Character.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-SenatOrs HOar
and Jackson of the subcommittee of the
Judiciary, appointed TO investigate the
charges against Solicitor General GOode,
are in session this morning in the room OF
senate committee on privileges and elections.
The following named gentlemen from Nor.
folk are here under subpoena. G.. w.
Grandy, commission merchant; w. n.
White and Judge T. S. Garnett. lawyers; II.
w. Peters. bankreceiver, and Charles Sharp.
They are all prominent citizens of Norfolk
and understood to be personal friends OF
Goode. The investigation is to be a secret
one. The witnesses are closeted in the adj
joining committee room and brought in one
at time before the subcommittee. The
examination lasted about an hour
and half. The charges against Gen.
Goode were not made known to the
witnesses, but the inquiries made of them
related to the appointment of Mr.. Peters
to be receiver OF the Exchange National
bank, and, so far as their replies went, they
we're emphatically in viRdicatiOn of Gen.
Goode, who is said to have been charged
with receiving fee for his services in Sc
curing the appointment. The witnesses
said the appointment was made in cOmpli-
ance OF the wishes of the business men of
Norfolk. They had 500, 900 in the insti-
tuition and wished to have man appointed
as receiver in whose ability and integrity
they had confidence.

AN INsIDIOUS EVIL.

Although no less an authority than the
evangelist, SAM SMALL, declares, in de-
Tense of his practice of cigaret-smoking,
that cigarets never kept man out of
heaven, it would seem that its gaining a
predomlnance is much to be regretted. So
long as the practice was confined to young
men who prefer the noxious paper roll to
the comfort of full-sized cigar.
the world in general could afford
TO give contemptuous sniff of
Its offended nostrils and pass the matter by.
But as it appears from the investigations of
vigilant GLOBE reporter the evil is much
more extended. The pretty sisters of
cigaret-smoking brothers are said to have
acquired the habit to an alarming extent.
There the line should be drawn. It's all
very well to conjure up pretty picture of
a dainty piece of femininity with sweet
scented cigaret between her lips, but
as matter of fact. the pic
ture is more startling than pleasing.
1t is an innovation of European and far
Southern custom upon the puritanlcal sim
plicity of American lite which is to be
determinedly frowned upon. 1t doesn't
make SO much difference if greater or less
number of beings of the dude order is killed
off by the inhalation of the poisonous
cigaret fumes. but as far as the girls are con-
cerned there is not single one superiluous

This dressed beef controversy has a pecu-
liar interest 10 st. Louis You see the -
Louis institution has not been taken into the
Chicago combination, and is antagonistic to
the Armour-Swift Hammond combination
and has to buy at direct competition with
those people, who secure their purchases at
Chicago and Kansas City, where they make
the market TO suit themselves and after they
buy cattle ar their own prices, complain bit
terly against railroad Determinations. But
these people will find they have run counter
TO the interests OF too many classes. They
antagonize the railroads. the butchers, the
stockyards, the cattle raisers and the beef
consumers. They seem to want 1.-The whole
earth, as the phrase goes. 1t is a matter of
easy demonstration that the triumvirate mo
nopoly has made cattle at Chicago and Kansas
City without regard 10 the
SHIPPERS INTERESTS.
For instance. the dressed beef buyers pool is
at Kansas City, and If live stock shipper
offers 10 take portion Of consignment on

cattle TO Chicago. he has Jumped from the
frying-pan into the fire." for the Kansas City
bid has been forwarded by wire, and he will
be- slaughtered for his pains and plucked by
the pool buyers in Chicago. You can realize
that these dressed beef people hold n danger
Gus power. Buying cattle thus as they DO, at
their own price, they are enabled to put re-
tail meat on the market ut prices which run
the butcher out of his business in the East,
and, for that matter, in the West, as well.
But remember. that when once competition
Is killed, they put the retail price up at their
own pleasure, and the consumer is wholly vat
their mercy. By comparing the retail prices
of beef for 1854 with the prices for 1855, and
so far into 1855, II will be found that, while
cattle in a wholesale way have gone OF heavily
IN price, the retail prices are the same.

A CAREER FOR WOMEN.


EXtolled in song, related in legions and
preserved in history the fame of woman's
tender sympathy and ministration for the
sick and feeble has been made perennial.
Her nature directs her to ways of gentle
ness. to comfort and console. She is a
born nurse, and when she chooses that
calling for her life work, reaches superb
ority which the member of the other sex
can never hope to attain. Thus 1t Is that
the New York training school for nurses is
doing such an admirable work in opening
up new career for women who have to
make their own way in the world. Teach
ing them all the details of attendance neces-
sary in a sick room, giving them
a fair idea of medicine and surgery,
and enabling them to fulfill and anticipate
intelligently the wants of ailing humanity,
sends every year out into the world a corps
of young women soexcellently equipped for
their work that their services are secured
almost as soon as the door of the school
closes upon them. There Is constant and
growing demand for skill of this Sort and
the remuneration is more than fair. If the
average young woman who has to work for
a living could divest herself of the false
pride which forces her to accept a
meagerly paid clerkship under the mis-
taken impression that such service is
more respectable than attendance in sick
room, she might easily acquire the knowl-
edge that would make her valuable as a
skilled nurse. Not only thus would she be
doing greater good for society atlarge, but her
own pecuniary return would be materially
increased in most satisfactory way. The
idea which resulted in the founding of the
New York school is an excellent one. 1t
should spread. st. Paul might consider il
with advantage.
