AIIBEL MOST FOIL.

Away off in little obscure town of Yer
mont called Burlington they have been hay
ing an ice carnival. 1t wasn't much of a
show and accordingly failed to attract the
expected thousands of people who. if they
had ever heard of Burlington, only won
dered where it was. AS day after day
passed and the desired ducats of the stran-
gers failed to flow in, Burlington began to
get mad. When by chance a daily
paper strayed into the town and Burling-
ton read of the amazing success of
the st. Paul ice carnival her anger in
creased. Realizing her utter inability to
successfully compete with the enterprise of
the Northwest and bitterly chagrined, she
sought revenge. Unable by her puny
efforts to divert the stream of sight-seers
from st. Paul to her gates, she circulated
the malicious libel that st. Paul girls were
so homely that visitors Immediately left the
city and refused to see any good in the car
nival or the attendant sports. From Burling-
ton such an assertion Is as ludcrous as IL is
malicious. In village where no oppor-
tunity exists for arriving at standard of
feminine beauty judgment of that char
acter could have but little weight. In fact
TO any person who has sojourned in Bur-
lington for even an exceedingly short space
of time it would seem a compliment TO call
st. Paul girls homely in comparison with
the ideal beauty of the Vermont village.
In view of the utterly untruthful nature Of
the report circulated by neglected Burllng-
ton, st. Paul will be pleased to head pc
titlon for the changing of the name of that
town to Ananias and every visitor to St.
Paul, whose eyes have been gladdened by
omnipresent feminine loneliness in blanket
suits, will doubtless be very willing to affix
his signature.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY.


Though perhaps Washington social con-
ditiOns do not deserve the scathing denun-
citation made recently by Dakotan, who
compared the national capital to Sodom
and Gomorrah in all that the mind conjures
up in connection with those two cities,
there Is much TO regret. Washington life
is undoubtedly fast 1t could hardly be
otherwise. But it has scarcely reached
that rapldlty in the descent of Ayernus
which the Dakota gentleman intimates.
Through the unavoidable peculiarties of
our political system society must necessarily
be promiscuous at the capital There can not.
from the nature of things, exist tho same
wedding out process which obtains in I'M
official centers. Nor does there exist in
any other city of the country the same
temptations for straying from the narrow
path of strict moral rectitude or such a
combination of elements inherently danger
Gus to the prosperity or healthfulness Of
society. In Washington, where social
equality is a matter not of culture or in
telligence, but of official station, every
oiiiceholder considers himself entitled to
the social privileges accorded any other. In
consequence there is larger mingling of
the bad with the good, more corrupt schem-
ing for place and profit, and moro, there
fore, that is deleterious than could possibly
exist in any other place. Social obsery-
ances and ceremonies being almost creed
and access to all entertainments matter of
great ease, dissipation of this character is
soon carried TO excess and the bloom worn
of the cheek of innocence. In their official
capacity many politicians are COM
PEELED to open their houses to peo-
pie against whom their doors would
be shut in private life. The result
OF this mingling of all sorts and
conditions of men and women can only
have but one effect, and that not desira-
BILE one. No process of selection can be in
augurated until our political conditions are
founded upon irmer basis, until, for in
stance, a reform of the civil service brings
about the predominance of men who are not
only eminent for their political services but
for intelligence and natural refinement.
Until then the leaven of earnest and honest
men and women, to be found as well in
Washington as elsewhere must be relied
upon TO counterfeit the spread of demoraliz-
ing influences which certainly exist.

THE MCCORMICK LOCKOUT,
And speculatiOns Regarding the
Opening To-day.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-NOt only working
men, members of trade or labor Organiza-
tions, professional agitators and the Social
list element. but manufacturers and business
men generally, are taking great interest in
what may occur at McCormick's reaper
works tomorrow. The factory will be
started up again at Z o'clock tomorrow
morning, as announced in a card which
was issued by the firm Saturday. a great
difference of opinion is expressed regarding
the success of the attempt to resume opera
tiOns. Members of the firm think at least
1000 men will present themselves
and apply for work. The metal workers
held a meeting this afternoon, at which
about one hundred and fifty were present.
The main objects were to receive thirty or
forty new members and to distribute $500
among the members. OF this amount $500
was received from the executive board Of
the Metal Workers union in New York
and the rest came from the treasury of the
local union. A dispatch was received yes
terday from the New York board, in which
were these words: 'Stand firm; more
money coming" Said metal worker this
evening:
Every union man in Chicago and in the
country knows that we can't afford to be
beaten in this fight. If we should be there
would be no use in any union trying TO do
anything at least for two years to help work
ingmen against employers who do not treat
them right.
Another, prominent in labor circles. said:
Trade unions will not permit resumption of
work. Mccormick says that he will employ
whom he likes He can't do any such thing.
IL will result in bloodshed il he attempts it.
His assertion means that he will not take back
the leaders in this strike, and that he win run
"A non-union establishment. Why he is strik-
ing at all the trade unions in the country.
In Superintendent EberSolds in
structlons, issued yesterday, the policemen
are especially ordered to call upon citizens
to assist them to maintain the peace. 1t is
ordered that forty uniformed policemen
from each precinct report early to Capt
O'Donnel, in whose precinct the McCOr-
mick works are located. This will make a
force of 200 policemen besides the entire
number on duty at the Human street sta
ton. Nearly all of the detectives will also
be at the scene to mingle with the strikers
and single out the leaders for arrest.

REVIVAL OF PATRIOTISM.

Funds are being raised to repair the old
church at Williamsburg, Va, where GEORGE
WAsHIN GToN and his wife worshipped
Such movements are evidences of the re-
turn of patriotic sentiment which speaks
we'll for the future of this country. There
has been no time within the last twenty
five years when there has been such a gen.
eral observance of WAsHINGToN's birth
day as there was this year. 1t almost
seemed that we had reached that point
in our national history when veneration for
the memory of the fathers of the republic
had been lost. Such stages are dan
gerous in the history Of any free
country. It is therefore all the more
crafty ng to discover that we have turned
back from the dangerous course the nation
was pursuing. and that the spirit of patriotic
ardor is once more burning as brightly in
the national heart as it did in the days of
yore. Nor is it going too far TO say that
the return of this spirit of national venera-
ton for the fathers of the government is
largely due to the restoration of the Dem
ocratic party to power in the national gov
eminent. With the advent of the new adj
ministration the emblems of fraternity
were restored, and the spirit of sectional
discord and bitterness disappeared.

brotherly love. His fat has gone forth
against the Extensively personal" sort of
campaign, and he has declared his intention
of taking no part In the various coming state
contests. The wisdom which impels him
TO frown upon bitter personalities, though
coming somewhat late I'm the day, can not
be too highly commended. No one can have
a better idea shan Mr.. BLAINE of the eX-
ceeding soreness which a campaign con-
Quoted on personal basis is apt TO develop.
But 1t is not for this reason alone that Mr..
BLAINE intends TO adhere 10 his peaceful
determination, despite the anxious protests
of the followers deprived of his aggressive
leadership. JAMES G. recognizes the fact
that antagonisms are dangerous. A purely
passive position can gain him but few
enemies and will relieve him from many
entangling alliances. BY being for no one
in particular, he will be against 40 one.
Then. when In the fullness of time another
Republican convention gathers, who. thinks
this crafty Maine statesman, will be found
so available as he who. once the leader of
his party. even IL 1t was 10 ignominious de-
feat, stands ready, compromised by no ami
mosties, TO emerge from his uneventful
seclusion in order to repeat the experiment.
And that is an arrangement with which the
Democratic party would be entirely satisfied.

SHOT BETWEEN TIE EYES,
But Strangely the wound Didn't
Prove Fatal.

Special to the GloDe.
WHEATON, ILL.,, Feb. 2s.-Two burglars
made raid on the citizens of Wheaton be-
tween midnight and o'clock this morning
They first entered the residence of Rev.
George Haigh, then called on the widow
Antes, where they got IS cents, and took a
lunch. They then entered the residence OF
Hon. IL, L. Hyatt, who was awakened.
and found them in his room. One of them
presented revolver at his head. and he po-
litely told them not to shoot but to take
what they wanted. They took his gold
watch, pants and purse and left. He imme-
dlatelY arose, aroused one of his neigh0ors
and tracked them to the lumber yard.
They then aroused a posse and followed
them to Turner Junction, where they sur
prised them at breakfast at Nelson Skim
ners clearinghouse. DR.. Ashley pre-
scented his gun and asked them to throw up
their hands, which they did, but suddenly
one of them dashed out of the door, fol-
lowed by DR.. Compton, who filled his back
with bird shot, which brought him down.
lie got up and ran for about two miles,
but was finally chased into a barn.
Two of the party entered and called upon
him to surrender. He attacked them and
tried to take away the revolver carried by
Charles Mack. In the struggle it went off,
the ball hitting the burglar between the
eyes, but not killing him. Both burglars
were brought to Wheaton and consigned to
the care of the sheriff. None of the wounds
are considered dangerous. The one who
ran is strongly built, weighs about IT'S
pounds and is about % years old and re-
fuses to give his name. The other one is

ures associated with 1t, yet is safer and
surer basis of human happiness and social
virtue than all the divorce laws that ever
burthened the statute books. When man
takes wife or woman takes husband,
let it be for better. or worse. 1t Is true that
exceptional cases of hardship would arise
under such an infexlble system. 1t would
be hard for q woman TO DO tied for life to a
brutal husband, or man 10 have his life
maze miserable by being linked to
an unfaithful wife. But this difficulty
could be partially obviated by establishing
the whipping post for the brutal husband
and the reformatory for the falthless wife.
When il was once understood that death is
the only power that can sever the marriage
relation there would not be so many hasty
and inconsiderate marriages, and conse-
quently vast deal more domestic happi-
ness than exists In the world to-day. A
forcible illustration of the laxity of our
divorce system is found in this very case of
where a man deserts wife and children In
their far-away Eastern home and woman
abandons her husband and the criminal pair
take their flight TO territory where, after
one days residence they institute divorce
proceedings and return to this city to await
the final decree of the court, which was
expected to be had within a few weeks.
Such occurrences as the Astoria hotel
tragedy are horrible in their nature, yet
they have their uses. They direct public
attention to the frightful abuses of the
MARI age system and of the consequent
evils to society. BY doing so they aid in
bringing about that reaction in the public
mind which is necessary to achieve reform
in our public morals.

RAZOR AND REVOLVER.
A Philadelphia German Kills His
Wife Then Himself.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 2S.-Gottlieb
LEM, a German residing at 2542 Sepviva
street, cut his wife's throat with razor
and then shot himself with a revolver. both
dying instantly. The tragedy was the re-
suit of jealousy on the part Of the husband.
The couple had been married twenty years
and had raised family of three girls and
two boys. LEM drank heavily and when
under the influence of liquor became very
abusive to his wife. To-day he came home
intoxicated, but, contrary to his usual Gus
tom. he treated his wife very kindly. and,
after remaining in the house q short time.
again went out. During his absence a
young man rang the dOOr-bell and inquired
for one of Lenz's daughters, but she not
being at home. he left. LEM returned i'm
mediately. and it is supposed he saw the
young man depart. There are no wit
nesses to the horrible tragedy, but from
the appearances of the room terrible
struggle must have taken place. LEM had
evidently slipped behind his wife, and
drawing heI head back, had slashed the
razor across her throat. Mrs. LEM, COW
cred with blood, ran out the back door,
then through an alleyway to the street,
whereSshe entered saloon and fell to the
floor dead. AT the same time two pistol
shots were heard i'm the direction of LenZ's
house. A policeman entered the house
and found LEM lying dead on the floor,
with shot through the neck and re-
volver lying by his side. He had tried to
end his life by hanging, but was unsuccess-
full. The neighbors speak very highly OF
Mrs. Lenz and say that her husband had no
cause whatever for his jealousy.

THE MORAL OF 1T.

The GLOBE publishes this morning a full
history of the man and wife whose lives
came to such tragic termination Saturday
night at the Astoria hotel in this city. 1t
is pitiful story of a mans infatuation for
a beautiful woman and woman's infidelty
to the man whom she had vowed in the
presence of GOD and men to love. honor
and obey. There is material enough in il
for startling romance. But however in
teresting and exciting it may be as a ro-
nance it is the moral alone which is of
value to the reader. The tragical ending
is the logical outcome of that loose system
of morality too commonly practiced
nowadays, even in the upper classes
of society, and still more of that danger
Ously lax notion of the sacredness of the
marriage VOW which prevails so extensively.
These loose opinions have found express
sion in our statutory laws and judicial de-
cisions- AS long as the laws permit
divorces and the courts encourage them.
ii is natural to expect that respect for the
obligations of the marriage tie will be
diminished among the people. There is
no feature of our laws or of our social life
which needs reforming more than the ex.
listing divorce system. ltw0uld be infinitely
better if we had no divorce laws at all than
that society be subjected to the vicious
and demoraIizing results of the present
system. The old-time doctrine that wha,
GoD hath joined together no man shall put
asuDder, NAV apparently have harsh feat
