MARINE POSTAL SERVICE.
The Minority Report to be Submit.
ted 10 the HOuse,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Mr. Burrows
of Michigan, on behalf of the minority of
the house committee on postofficeS and
post roads. will tomorrow submit report
dissenting from the views of the majority
in reporting favOrably the bill to compel
American steamships to carry United States
mails. The report states that under the
Dingley bill American vessels were TO be
consulted like their foreign rivals as to the
performance of the service and the cOmpen-
satiOn to be paid therefor, and not forced
to carry the mails on such terms as the
postmaster general might see fit to impose.
The postmaster general had wholly neglected
and refused not only to contract with any
steamship for carrying foreign mails. as he
was authorized to do by the act of March 3,
1885. but had declined to use the appropria-
ton therein made for the purpose named.
AS a result of this action several American
steamship companies had declined to carry
the mails. 1t was now proposed to
punish American steamships for refus-
ing to carry the mails. The report is signed
by Messrs. Burrows, Bingham. Willard and
Peters. Mr.. Burrows will offer a substi-
tute for the bill authorizing the postmaster
general to contract with American lines for
carrying the mails at rate not exceeding
fifty cents per nautical mile for term Of
five years, and authorizing the president to
enter into treaties with such countries as
desire to unite with the United States in
promoting mail facilities between the two
countries

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 2S.-With fire.
Quent Sunday excursions to this city of
members of parliament at Ottawa often
came rumors of the future plans of the
government, and to-day one reported
here some important changes to take
place in the Canadian government
shortly. The French Canadian supporters
of Sir John Macdonald have declared to
him they cannot without breaking faith with
their constituents support his administra-
ton on account of his action in the Riel
case. An arrangement has been made,
however, by which the French Canadian
supporters of Sir John will vote with his
government till the middle or end of March.
when parliament will dissolve, and writs
will be issued for a general dominion cleo
ton. Sir John will be appointed Canadian
high commissioner at London, and Sir
Charles Upper will return from England,
where he is at present filling that place,
and replace Sir John as the leader of the
Conservative party in Canada. Upper is
undoubtedly the most powerful men the
party could have as leader at tie present
time, and by the retirement of Sir
John the French-Canadian Conserve
tives, confidently expected, will
be cOnciliated and the return
to power of the Conservative party will
then be a comparatively easy matter. Sir
Charles TupperS policy will. it is under
stood, favor the opening of negotiations
with the American government for a fishery
treaty, and in order TO insure the reganIng
of the support of the French Canadians,
will proceed to make immediate arrange
ments for the construction of a shOrt-line
railway to the Atlantic coast from Quebec
City.

LOBBYISTS ROUTED.

The speaker of the New York legislature
has done good work. Annoyed by the
persistence and braZen impudence with
which professional lobbyists crowded the
legislative chamber and exasperated by
their shamefully open opportunities, pa
thence ceased to be a virtue, and he ordered
the lobbyists to be removed, by force if nee
essary, from the chamber. The evil had
reached such proportions that lobbyists
would make themselves completely at
home in the house cloak rooms, occupy
members desks and hold informal eau
cuses to discuss the conduct of their
schemes, even while the house was in ses-
sion and consequently much to the detri-
ment of the proper transaction of public
business. So widespread and generally
accepted had become this nefarious influ-
ence that railway passes were Op emily dis
tributed without exciting more than pass
ing comment. So universal was the thrall-
dom in which the legislature had been
placed by the lobby that it was considered
ALMOST impossible to uproot it. Speaker
Hustled, however, proved himself equal
to the occa sion. When the annoyance be-
came insufferable he startled the
lobbyists with the announcement of their
summary dismissal. In spite of indignant
protests, he seems determined to maintain
his position. His resolution can not fail to
rebound to the credit and benefit of New
York state. The example thus set might
well be followed in other states or even at
the national capital. 1t will not be long,
comparatively, before the Minnesota legis-
lature will assemble. In the nature of
things the lobbyists will swarm at the
same time. Then it will be of advantage
to remember the lesson taught In New
York

THE REAL HOME.

No more fruitful advice has been given
by DIR. TALMAGE than that which appears
in his sermon, published this morning in
the GLOBE. 1t admirably supplements the
cries Of sermons delivered during the last
few Sundays upon the different phases of
married life. 1t is something which not
only the young man and young woman just
starting out together on the long journey
through life as man and wife can ponder
over with advantage, but from which those
also who have gone well on the way can
derive no little benefit. Americans have
been called, and it must be admitted
with some reason, a nation without homes.
There is too much of the boarding house
and hotel element in our existence, and too
little of the sacredness of the home. In
the hurry and rush of American life, any
thing that saves time and trouble is in favor.
Thus the clearinghouse tiourishes, and a
long train of attendant evils flourish with it.
All those tender ties and associations which
only come Of growing up with house and
home until it becomes a reflex of our
own natures, as DIR. Holmes has
it, are lost sight of. In their
place is found, it is true, an
absence of household cares, but the pres
ence of a thousand aud one discomforts
which are only too familiar TO those doomed
by necessity or mistaken inclination to put
up with a sort of semi-nomadc life. The
strength of nation is TO be measured by
the extent to which the home feeling is de-
veloped. 1t can never be generated in a
hotel or clearinghouse. The man who
has homo of his own, sheltering family
which is his all In all, is always conserva-
tive. lie forms one of powerful army Of
social police, none the less influential
in the preservation OF a wholesome
tone to society, because it is not appointed
by authority. 1t is healthful sign. how
ever that growing inclination exists among
young men to secure homes of their own,
but, as DR.. TALMAGE points out, there is
dangerous tendency to be influenced by
considerations which should most certainly
not prevail. There Is too evident an at
tempt to vie with those more favored by
fortune, to the extent of furnishing home,
not in accordance with ones means but
with ones desires. But with the dissipa-
of this false pride, and the general accept.
ance of the idea that, ''Be it ever so humble,
there's no place like home" it must come
about that among the American people the
love Of true domestic life will be as great
as the love Of liberty.

THE DEED OF COWARD.
A COId-BiOOded Murder Committed
i'm Virginia.
Special TO the Globe.

Special TO the Globe.
PETERSBURG, Va, Feb. 2S.-Intelligence
reached here to-day of a cold-blooded assasi-
nation which occurred in Sussex county,
this state. The scene of the tragedy is
some miles from Waverly Station, on the
Norfolk 81 Western railroad, and within a
short distance of the murdered mans
home. The principals in the affair
are William p. Balm and Quin-
eey Balm, third cousins. Yesterday
the two men met in the road, and, after
passing Quincy, Balm turned and deIiber-
ately discharged both barrels of his gun,
charged with buckshOt, striking Balm in
the head and killing him instantly. The
murderer then walked up to the body of
his victim and shot him through the head
tn make certain that his bloody work was
complete. This one of tie most deliberate
murders ever committed in Virginia.
1t occurred in the presence of a man
named Morris, who, with the murdered
man. was unaTmed. The murderer made
his escape. but efforts are being made to
capture him. There is strong talk of lynch
Ing him if caught. William Balm, the Eur-
dered man, was
A PROMINENT REPUBLICAN,
and took an active part i'm politics. For q
long time he was a supervisor of Sussex
county. A few years ago he and Il. w.
Atkinson became involved i'll a difficulty,
during which Atkinson was stabbed by
Balm and instantly killed. Balm was ar
rested, tried and acquitted, having
been defended by an able coun-
sci. Balm, who was murdered yes
terday, was under indictment in
to Sussex county court for an attempted
criminal assault an Quincy Bain's wife,
for which Offense he was to have been tried
in the county court next Thursday. 1t is
understood that recent developments have
proven that the charges brought against him
could not have been sustained. and that the
attorney for the commonwealth would have
asked the court for q nolle PROSE- and for
the acquittal Of the accused. The muir
dered man was married and was about 25
years of age. 1t was only a couple of
weeks ago that Balm had his store and con-
tents burned. At the time of the fire he
was asleep in the building, and barely
escaped with his life.

NEW ORLEANS. La, Feb. 2s.-George
a. Peet. manager of the Outlet cotton gin
factory at Amite, La, was brutally whipped
by party of twenty armed and masked
men last night. Mr.. Peet had left the fac
tory In company with the Waterman TO take
the train for this city, where his family re-
sides. He had proceeded but a short part
of the road 10 the depot when he met the
masked party. Mr.. Peet and the watch
man were seized and hurried to the woods.
There Mr.. Peets clothing was stripped
from his body, and his naked form tied to
tree. He was then cruelty beaten with a
rope. After his release the leader of the
lynchers read a document to him stating
that he had been whipped for importing
foreign laborers into Amite. and that il he
returned TO the town he would be hanged.
Mr.. Peet was then allowed to proceed to
the train, and came on to this city.
HE Is NOW IN BED
at his home suffering severely from the
effects of the cruel treatment he received.
The perpetrators of the outrage upon him
him held the Waterman until they had
finished whipping the manager and then re-
leased him unframed. None of the masked
party were recognized. but every effort will
be made TO discover them. The governor
will be asked to offer a reward for their APP
prehension, and the cotton gin company
will supplement this with large sum.
Mr.. Peet is gentleman of high standing
in this city in business and social circles,
and his friends are greatly shocked and in
dignant over the brutal outrage to which he
has been subjected. Some time ago Mr..
Peet discharged some of the men employed
in the factory on the ground o. incompe-
tency and employed skilled wOrkmen in
their places from Parkersburg, Va. This
is supposed to be the cause of the out.
Tageous assault upon him.
