MR.. NELSON'S BREAK.

Congressman KNUTE NELSON'S heart
may have been right, but his head was
wrong when he asked for a federal appro-
priation for the relief of the Minnesota cy-
clone sufferers, Of course he didn't get it.
and probably didn't expect to get it. He is
on the record as having asked for it. and il
will be set down to Mr.. NELSON'S account
for whatever it may be worth when his
district comes to make up its next con-
gressional jewel. Mr.. NELSON has
permitted his good impulses to run
away with his better judgment.
Minnesota is not a mendicant, and
doesn't like to appear before the world in
that light. The state is abundantIy able to
provide for its unfortunate classes. and
what is more, it is doing it with generous
hand. There never was an instance where
people responded more promptly and liber-
ally to the cry of distress than has been
done by the people of Minnesota in the
case of the cyclone sufferers. In the face
of the facts it places the state in an embar-
RAISING position to have representative of
the state in congress appealing to the gen.
eral government for aid.
Nor is the general government expected
to step forward every time that wind, flood
or fire devastates community to provide
relief for those who have suffered That
is work which belongs to. the local author
tiles. The generosity of the American
people can always be relied on to make
contribution and to aid. the local govern
ments in administering to the wants of the
afflicted.
Congressman NELSON'S appeal for aid
was entirely gratuitous on his part, as no
one was asking him to do it. In an at
tempt to make record for himself he has
made a record for the state which is not at
all satisfactory to the people of Minnesota.
The next time he makes motion he ought
to think twice before he speaks once.

An ObIiging Senator.


WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Saw
yer of Wisconsin is a great favorite i'm the
senate. The Capital tells story about MIN
to-day, which is worth repeating as an in
stance of his liberality and general worth.
1t was as follows:
Not long ago. when Senator Mitchell of
Pennsylvania went home sick. Mr.. Sawyer
volunteered TO take his place on the pension
committee, place that no one wanted, and
as soon as he was warm in his seat. he said to
the other members: ''Now you fellows are
busy. and the best thing you can do is TO
turn over all the pension bills 10 me. I've
got lot of clerks who are idle,
and il would be Godsend to
give them something TO do. The other
members of the committee were surprised
at the offer, but accepted ii, and Mr.. Sawyer
sent a wagon load of papers from the COM
mittee-room to his house. where he has
clerks ut work under the direction of DIR.
Kempster. his private family physician,
making up the cases and the room they
occupy looks like a division of the pension
bureau. Every evening Mr.. Sawyer sits in
his chambers Ike a court ofbclaims. The
cases that are made up during the day are
read TO him. and he decides whether they
shall be reported adversely or favorably.
Last week he reported TO the senate sixty
four pension bills, the biggest batch on
record, and every claim had been Thoroughly
investigated. aud was accompanied by
written report setting forth the facts. All
OF the clerks are paid by Mr.. Sawyer out Of
his own pocket. and there need be no wonder
that the other senators are fondof him.

SoMERvILLE, Mass, April 1S.-Edward
Bagley and Alfred Twomey were young
men who had been like brothers from child
hood. Bagley was 10 years old and
Twomev 81. Both worked at the Union

ers dependent upon them for support.
Their intimacy continued unbroken until
yesterday, when they went to Boston and
became intoxicated, and when they re-

The southwestern strike,

ST. LOUIS, April 1S.-It has transpired
here that scheme is on foot to boycott the
Gould system through Eastern manufac-
turers. District Assembly No. so, Knights
of Labor, with headquarters in Boston,
embraces about 800 local assemblies with a
membership of some so, 600 shoe and cot
ton workers. Large quantities of
the articles made in the terri
tory covered by these assemblies
are shipped TO points on the Gould system
and the plan is to notify all manufacturers
to stop shipping their goods over those
roads. There Is to be a meeting of District
Assembly 80 at Boston this week to discuss
this matter, and if the plan is decided upon
and the manufacturers refuse to accede to
the demands of the assembly, strike will
probably be ordered of the workers in the
territory named. A representative
of this district assembly has
been in consultation with the
general executive and local committees
here and Will report to the Boston meeting
what lie has learned of the situation here
in the Southwest. 1t is also said that dis
tTict assemblies ~ and rs, which include
the shoe and cotton workers in Maine, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, will hold

a SUCCESSFUL sWINDLER.
Boston Parties COnf1denced Out of
Hard Earnings.

BOsToN, April 1S.-Plvmouth Wbits
alias Frank Parks, alias ''Plinnn White
one OF the most notorious confidence men in
the country who was made to leave Boston
year ago, left again yesterday of his own
accord, having successfully worked a six
months scheme. Last July, Ivory Hezle-
ton, retired engineer with money to in
vest, came to Boston and opened lodging
mousse at No. Lyman street, renting the
place OF eX-pOlice commissioner jerks.
Whlte engaged a room of him and soon
captlvated both HeZleton and his wife
by his courtesy and refinement He
talked casually of his immense wealth
and Hezleton was completely deceived by
White, and ten days ago lent him So. sos,
all MS available money, taking as security
So,OOO worth of alleged railroad bonds.
Through HezletOn's influence. John W.
Iusley, another retired engineer. and his
sister were induced to loan White $500 ON
a demand note and q promise of So. 600
worth of stock. On Friday White got tbs
securities of Mrs. Hezleton on the pretense
OF wishing to examine them, and was about
TO leave when Hezleton happened to come
IN. HezletOn locked the door and threat
ened to kill White if he did not return
every cent. White laughed at him
ana got out of the difficulty
by handing Hezleton 81. 900 in cash and two
$1,000 notes made out to White by his
brother. HeZletOn was then so ashamed of
having suspected man who appeared so
honorable that he loaned back S2OS of the
money. Yesterday White failed to put in
an appearance and the facts were laid be-
fore the authorities. Hezleton has been
swindled out of S2,241 in cash and a five
weeks board bill, besides small sums
loaned, and the Tusleys lose $3.50, which
was all the money they had.

KNIGHTS OF VIRTUE.

The Rev. Dr. SMITH is correct in his
statement that if the laboring men would
save all the money that is expended in
liquor and tobacco and apply it to more
profitable uses they could soon accumulate
a fund which would overbalance JAY
GoULD's bank account. While no one can
controvert the reverend gentleman's argyll
ment in favor of an organization OF the
knights of Virtue, still there is no one who
could suggest practicable plan for
such an organization, from the single
fact that the millenial period of
the worlds history has not yet
been reached. As long as liquor is manu-
featured and tobacco grows men will use
both. Such being the case the best thing
that can be done is to persuade men to use
these articles in the least hnrtful forms.
1t is temperance, not total abstinence,
which lies within the range of practicabtlity.
And it is singular TO observe what
divergent views among men as to
the most practical methods for Sc
curing temperance. An illustration of
this is found in the GLOBES columns
this morning. The pulpits preach temper
ance to the laboring men. The resolutions
of the Socialistic Labor association adopted
at their meeting yesterday preach the same
doctrine. One says it is to be accomplished
by strict prohibition of the sale of all in
toXicating beverages. The other says it is
to be done by encouraging the trade in beer
and light wines. 1t is repetition of the
old story Of the two men who quarreled over
the color of the chameleon. There are so
many varying lights in which this subject
may be viewed that an individual may take
any side and still be both right and wrong.

New York street Car Men.

NEW YORK, April 1s.-Twenty-five new
men were hired by the Third Avenue Rail-
road company to replace strikers, and the
drilling of the new drivers has gone for
ward all day in the depot. The company's
officials are thoroughly confident, and say
they now have enough men to run the cars
of the main line from end to end and also
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES street

day. and they say they initiated twenty-five
of the newly-hired men of Saturday.
The executive committee of the Can

ali the surface lines in the city, excepting
on Eighth and Ninth avenues, at 4 O'Clock

OTHROPEDS.

VIII make high heaven weep. Under the
preteXt OF making preparations for a char
ity ball, the Goldfish aristocracy of the
metropolis are engaged in a ridiculous at
tempt to establish caste lines sufficiently
distinct to prohibit the common herd from
contributing to charitable cause. From
the details of the wrangle over the
approaching charity ball as given by
the GLOBES New York special this
morning, we are led to infer that they move
upon the theory that none but blue blooded
nabobs are privileged to contribute to char
ity. 1t is drawing the social lines pretty fine
when none but pedigreed aristocrats are adj
mitted to the royal road which leads to
heaven. But it is altogether in keeping
with the classes who rule the social roost in
New York. They are so accustomed TO
enjoying special privileges that they have a
sort of an idea that they have pre-empted
right to the whole universe.

A RUSHEL OF BIbLS.
An Enormous Amount of LegisIa-
ton Vet in Hand.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The calendar
of the house has grown to such proportions
that the more important committees are be-
coming alarmed at the waning chances for
action upon their preferred measures, and
are about to make efforts to secure the as
signment OF entire days for their consider
alton. Efforts will be made tomorrow to
suspend the rules and pass the bill to regu-
late the promotion OF graduates of the mill
tary academy and the bill to make parcels
and light merchandise mail a special deliv-
cry matter. The river and harbor bill comes
up as unfinished business on Tuesday and
will occupy the attention of the house per-
haps two days. 1t will be followed by the
diplomatic appropriation bill. The contest
for fright of way" in the senate wakes
warmer. 1t is the intention of senators
Edmunds and Morgan to ask that the doors
be kept closed during the coming week I'M
til the mysteries of the foreign relations
committee shall be disposed of. Senator Gull
ION purposes TO insist upon a continuous
discussion of the interstate commerce bill
until that measure is disposed Of Senator
Blair promises to keep up his fight for his
general pension bill, his arbitration bill and
his two or three hundred private pension
bills. Senator Sewell, if he is not appalled,
by the pressure i'm favor of other measures,
will plead for consideration of the Fitz-
John Porter bill. Senator Riddleberger
threatens to make some brief but energetic
remarks every day upon the abSurdity of
secret session. Senator Van Wyck will no
longer suffer the bill to tax railway lands
to be put off without a protest. Senator
Hoar, who comedies the precedence 10 the
Interstate commerce bill. will watch for
chance to begin the battle in behalf of the
bankruptcy bill, and the appropriations
committee will exercise unusual self-re-
straint if it does not bring in one or more
of the regular appropriation bills and take
the floor by virtue of its dominant rights
under the general practice of the senate.
What will be actually accomplished during
the week no one can tell.

THE FORCED ISSUE.

The newspapers are determined to force
the matrimonial issue on President CLEvE-
LAND, and he is bound to face it. 1t
places him in tighter box than the Ed
NIUNDs resolution did. There is no waiting
for an adjournment of the senate and then
go on making appointments about this mat
ter. There is no chance to conciliate mu-
tinous senators with a promise of few
postofficeS in the future in this affair."
1t is a stand right up to the
rock issue. The president has to
jump the broomstick within the next
three months or it is a square back down.
The honor of the administration and the
peace of the nation are involved in the set
Element of this issue. Itmay be true that Mr.
CLEVELAND has been taken unawares and
is not prepared for the issue that has been
forced upon him, but he is expected to meet
it like man. If he is at a loss what to do
under the trying circumstances our advice
to him is to adopt the ANDY JACKSON style
take the girl by the arm, lead her to the
altar and have the whole matter settled in
five minutes. 1t is the only way
to pacify the country. Then lie
him fall into the line of Jeffer-
sonan simplicity by foregoing bridal tour
and go right to housek eeping, just as the
fathers and mothers of the republic did
in their day. The day after the ceremony
let him be found at his desk working away
i'll his shirt sleeves and let Mrs. CLEvE-
LAND be seen fitting around the White
house with busting brush and pan in hand
and giving orders to the hired girl. If this
advice is followed. our word for it, the
American people will keep the White house
at the disposal of Mr.. and Mrs. GROVER
CLEVELAND as long as they have desire
to occupy it.

Northwest. The loss of life is simply appall-

alive, but without homes or means of sub

sympathy, and what is more to the point
cash-which must necessarily follow this ter
rible catastrophe, should be responded to in
the most generous manner.

pleasure in stating that it is one OF the best
edited newspapers in the Northwest. It is
filled with news from head TO tail, and is q
strong and able champion of the Democratic

but treats monopolists with fairness and
courtesy. The paper is printed from new
type, and makes fine appearance. There is
none better than the GLOBE.
