One Secret of Hard Times.

Pennington Tribune.
An alleged business man recently discon-
tinued his Tribune, giving as reason there
for the excuse that "times is hard" Well,
no wonder he finds times hard. Since the
Tribune has been here he has never adver-
tised line; he has lost no opportunity TO cry
hard times to some one: he has almost daily
made his plant of dull trade and hard times,
and has no one to blame but himself
for his rapidly diminishing business
He has frightened would-be custom
ers away by his doleful cry of
"hard times" and has been q stumbling
block in the way of prosperity of the town
that has given him living. He represents a
class who do more 70 hinder their own pros
perity and that of the town In which they
live than other adverse circumstances. II
''times is hard" they starve the printer first,
and in this way and every other advertise
their hard times to the world. thus doing
their utmost TO shut of the return OF good
times. The fact is, the ''times'' are not half
so "hard" as the men who are doing their
best TO make them so.

q letter supposed to be written by himself
and found among her effects after death, it
does seem that this excellent old gentleman
is allowing his temper TO get the better of
his Judgment. Occupying the high public
position that Mr.. WINSTON does, it is nat
ural that he should be sensitive to every
thing that is likely to reflect upon his per-
sonal honor, still he should remember that
il is the undue haste with which men some
times rush to the defense of their honor
that leads to the suspicion in the public
mind that there are really vulnerable
points. There is nothing in the CORE
spondence between the Persian minister
and his dead protege to warrant
contradiction of his assertion that
his aim was TO raise the poor girl TO a
higher plane i'm life. If he failed to make a
good woman of her. as he saws he did, it
was lamentable failure, but does not re-
fleet upon the distinguished gentleman.
The chief source of regret is that Mr..
WINsToN's benevolence should have been
wasted, and it should prove valuable
lesson TO all venerable philanthropists who
are likewise minded. When an old man
who is a millionaire takes it into his head
to utilize his wealth by fitting out expedi-
tons for the rescue of the perishing, he
ought to first sit down and mature plans as
the philanthropic Mr.. PEABODY did.
His entire efforts should not be con-
centrated on one individual when
there are so many thousands of others
around him who need moral redemption.
Tn
women-it is difficult TO estimate just how
many. But it is splendid field for the
I benevolent work of the generous-minded
phlanthropist who is inclined to establish
work of reform in this particular direc-
ton. 1t is field of sin. too, in which
there are but few cleaners and from which
there are but few sheaveS of good gathered.
1t is therefore all the more praiseworthy
when man of Mr.. WNsToN's age and
distinction descends to the plane of mis-
sionary and devotes his money as well as
his energies to this good work. Instead OF
slandering Mr.. WINSTON. the press of the
country will unite in his laudation. AT
the same time the newspapers will feel
privileged for the benefit of other philan-
thropists, TO call attention TO the one great
mistake which men make in this particular
kind of work-and the older they are the
more liable they are to make it-of wasting
their well-meaning efforts by devoting their
exclusive time and attention to the reform
alton of one pretty girl instead of dis
tributing their work over the entire field.
Missionary work is something like salmon
fishing--the net must be spread so as TO
catch fish of all sizes and varieties.

London Press Opinions.

LONDON, April 10.-The Daily News
THIS morning, commenting on the debate in
parliament on Mr.. Gladstone's home-rule
system, says:
Mr.. Chamberlain's arguments, though not
conclusive, deserve to be attentiyely consid-
cred. Mr.. Chamberlain deals with the SUPER
nclal symptoms, while Mr.. Gladstone goes to
the root OF the disease. We all believe that
when the structures of Mr.. Chamberlain and
Lord Harrington are studied in connection
with Mr.. Gladstone's scheme, the latter will
not be weakened thereby.
The Standard says:
III Lord Harrington is prepared to act on
MS own advices the fate of the Gladstone
scheme is settled already. 1t is rumored that
the land bill proposes to give the task of col
lectlng the land revenues after the expiration
OF the landlords to an imperial board. which
under Mr. Gladstone's proposals would collect
the excise duties. The board would be
responsible for the annual contribution to
the sinking fund and the repayment of the
imperial advances. This will be a charge
not merely upon the revenues of the land.

SENATOR sABIN,s SPEECH.

1t is evident that little bird has been
whispering something in Senator SABIN's
ears, and he is not slow to take advantage
of the information. His conversion is
something like miracle, but we hope it is
none the less genuine for being miraculous
When Minnesota Republican leader stands
up in the senate of the United States and
breaches sound Democratic doctrine it is a
pretty clear indication that he has heard
something drop. The way that the munich
pal elections in this state have receHtls gone
has perhaps had the effect of removing the
scales from the eyes of a good many
Republican statesmen of local repute who
have heretofore been blinded TO the fact
that the people now and then took into
their heads to protect their own interests
regardless of their party allegiance. The
people of Minnesota have grown tired OF
paying taxes in the way of heavy freight
rates in order to pay dividends on watered
stock and interest on watered bonds, and
having failed to get relief under successive
Republican administrations, they are be-
thinking themselves of perfecting an organ
izatiOn among themselves for their own re-
lief. THIS is probably the news that the little
bird has been whispering in Senator SA-
BINS ear. At all events the senator is to
be congratulated that for once he is on the
right side of the fence and has taken posi-
ton that the people of Minnesota, without
regard to party, can indorse. If the other
senators had been as well informed as to
the sentiment of their constituents as was

was only defeated by one vote is an evil
dence that the senate is gradually awaken

A MILITARY FEAST.
Sheridan, Terry and SchOfieId BAN
quoted in Chicago.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, April 9.-The Illinois Com
mandery of the Loyal Legion rendered an
informal reception to Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan
and Mai. Gems. j. NJ. Schofield and A. II.
Terry this afternoon at Kingsley's. The
present general of the army was the first
commanderOOf the Illinois commandery,
and both the retiring and in
coming commanders of the divisions
of the Missouri are members of the honored
institution. About one hundred and fifty
members of the Loyal Legion and invited
guests assembled in the banquet hall about
O'clock and awaited the appearance of the
distinguished guests. Shortly after that
hour. Gems. Sheridan, Terry and Scho-
field, accompanied by number of staff
officers, entered the receptiOn-room and
were greeted with hearty and long-contiuued
applause, after which followed a season of
mutual Misunderstanding and general in
PRODUCTION to the new commander.
Gen. w. E. Strong called the members to
order, and in brief but felicitous speech
introduced the distinguished officers, in
whose honor all had assembled. Gen.
Sheridan said that of all his associates he
was perhaps more endeared to the Loyal
Legion than to any other organized as
sembly. He could not possibly keep away
from Chicago for longer period than six
months. because his heart ever turned in
the direction of the people who had received
him so warmly when he came to reside in
Chicago, and had continued from that time
to the present. The health of Gen. j. NJ.
Schofield was then proposed and the white
haired successor to Gen. Hancock acknowl-
edged the homage of his old comrades with
viaihle emotion. He regretted from his
heart that he was to leave the city of Chi
cago with the many friends to whom he
had become endeared, and if personal in
terests alone controlled his actions he would
remain. And said he could never forget
that Chicago was his home and Illinois his
state The remarks of Gen. Scho-
field were received with the heartiest
applause and thus came the turn
of Gen. Terry, the defender of FitZ-JOhn
Porter, to receive the hearty cheers of the
assembly. He said he came to Chicago
with feelings of great embarrassment. He
did not not see how he could but fail to
meet the expectations of city which had
enjoyed the residence of his predecessors,
whose names were distinguished the world
over ana had become household words in
America. He would, however, do his best
to deserve their esteem, and trusted that
the days to come would only endear them
to each other.

Well Received Am New Work.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Not only among
Irishmen, but among all Nationalist in
this city, to-day Gladstone's proposed
scheme for home rule in Ireland, as ex-
pressed i'll his speech yesterday, was the
general topic of discussion. Irishmen who
have taken prominent lead in the Land
league movement think it is one that can
be accepted by the Irish people. They dc
not look upon it as a finally, but the major
ity seem willing to content themselves fol
the present at least with what is offered in
1t. Whatever objections may be found to
some of its details, they say, it is a step in
the right direction and praise is everywhere
accorded to Mr.. Gladstone's courage.

CITYHEALTH REPORT.

The mortuary report of the ST. Paul
health department for the month of March
shows that the number of deaths in the city
during last month was 104, which makes
the death rate for 1000 per annum for the
month 1000, the lowest record ever at
tanned by an American city. The classif-
cation of diseases from which death oc-
Cured shows a remarkable absence of any
disease of especially virulent form. The
highest number of deaths from any one dis
ease was 10 from pneumonia The next high
est record is diptheria 6, scarlet fever 5,
heart disease 4, and not more than deaths
resulting from any other one disease. The
low total record and the equal distribution
of the causes of death exhibit an exceptional
condition of heathfulness in the city.
During the same month there were 200
births and 90 marriages. The meteorological
summary for March shows the highest tenn
perature to have been IS, the lowest 9.S
below zero and the monthly mean 27.5.

AS A RULE the verdict of a coroner's jury
is a model of brevity, so the exception fur
nished by the verdict of the jury that sat
upon the body of Miss RooT at Valley City
must be explained upon the ground that the
extraordinary circumstances attending the
young ladg's suicide called for an unusual
verdict. 1t reads more like a work on special
pleading, or the closing address of a district
attorney in an important criminal case. than
it does like the verdict of a coroner's jury
The jury didn't succeed in eliciting many i'm

did succeed in piling up an argument that
