objected TO Being Counted

Washington, March 27.-The report of
the Indian commissioner for the last
yearshows a decrease in the Indian pop
ulst::oc- Of nearly FIVE Thousand. Ii any
actual count could be made they would
be much less than estimated. The In
dians are superstitious about being
counted, and get more rations when q
family OF three get snpplieu for five. An
attempt to force census would prob
ably result In war; but as this meas
ure is being gradually attained, the
authorities have never attempted tc
compel census. The Sioux have nevei
been counted, but if they were theil
number would probably be reduced
1000.

Another cut in California railroad
rates is announced by which first class
passage is sold from the Missouri river
to the Pacific coast for six dollars and an
addition ten dollars is charged between
the Missouri river and Chicago. This
cut is made by the Atchinson Topeka d
Santa Fe and the Atlantic & Pacific and
the Southern Pacific. Last week rate
slightly lower than this from California
points eastward prevailed. Monday
morning the larger cities California be-
gan selling first class tickets through to
the Missouri river for thirty dollars and
giving a rebate of twenty-five dollars of
Kansas City, making the fare five dol
lars for the continental trip, reduction
of one hundred dollars. The result o
this cut ID an increasing throng OF west
bound and east bound sight seers. Al
trains are crowded to their utmos
capacity. 1t is said that the old rate
| will not again be restored, but at tn
end of the competitive strife something
like o fifty dollar rate will be sstablishe,
between the Missouri and the Pacific.

There seems to have been a serious
misunderstanding between the head Of
the Missouri Pacific railroad system and
the!head of the knights of labor. Mr..
Gould said to Mr.. Powderly
that the Missouri Pacific stood
ready to arbitrate any differences
with its employees. in accordance with
its we'll established past policy. Mr..
Powderly understood this assertion to
be an agreement upon the part of Mr..
Gould to the appointment Of COM
mittee of seven srbitrators
to settle pending difficulties,
and upon this understanding
Mr.. Powderly telegraphed an order to
the knights to resume work. Mr. Gould
now asserts that he did not agree to the
appointment OF such committee and
that he would not agree to it without
the consent of Mr.. Hoxie
This conclusion on the part OF
the railroad officials invoked recall oI

A MERIroRIOUs FASHION.

Inasmuch as Paris is the center whence
the DEGREES of that mighty tyrant, Fashion,
who holds all the feminine world in sub
mission, are supposed to emanate, it is rea-
Sonable to expect that the latest dictum
from this source will be as faithfully OBJ
served by fair devoteeS the world over as
have been the other fashionable exactions
not nearly so commendable. No fashiona-
BILE woman, with any pretentions to OBJ
serving the mode, will longer wear high
heeled shoes and a waist which does not
pattern after the Venus de Medici, with
twenty-seven inches of girth, or it will be
sufficient to cause the ostraclsing of
the fair offender. The doom of tight lac
Ing is sealed among all the genter inhabi
tants of the worlds gayest capital and in
consequence it is sealed the world over.
While one would not soon expect to see
fashion combining with common sense in
Paris of all places, the innovation is none
the less grateful. The time now is proba
bly, near at hand when the average girl will
not try to improve upon nature, but will,
in obeying fashion, add to her own charms,
to say nothing of preserving her health. 1t
IS to be hoped that the new fashion is not a
temporary freak, but that it will bring
about a reform among womankind as bene-
fetal as it is needful.

TILE CITY,S PARKS.

The energetic men who have in charge
the city's parks should meet with the
utmost possible liberality in their efforts to
enlarge and beautify these green spots.
There is always something lacking in the
appearance of city which has grown so
fast that mere ornamentatien has been dis
regarded in the hurry attendant upon a
''boom." But st. Paul, if she has grown
rapidly, has grown healthy. She has had
the forethought to set aside certain spots
within her limits as breathing places, and
has taken time to see that they have not
been neglected. AS a result, in providing
for the city's healthfulness, the city's orna-
mentation has also been effected. But the
parks are susceptible both of improvement
In those already existing and in the increas-
Ing of their number. An excellent work is
now being done, and it should be con-
tinued. The most meritorious of-the efforts
now making for the identifying of these
little bits of citiied country is the
planting of numerous trees. Nothing
gives city more refreshing and hospita-
Bile air than an abundance of shade trees,
and if st. Paul cannot have them on all her
streets and avenues she can have them in
her parks. The good work in this direction
should go on, as it is likely to do under the
present management. until the parks pre-
sent an expanse of shady foliage which will
enable the tired worker resting beneath its
shade to fancy for short time that taste
of the cool woods has come to him, though
the midday sun is beating down hot upon
the city'S streets.

ROYAL BEGGARY.

To an American nothing is more prepos-
ferrous than the periodical requests made of
the British parliament to vote large annui-
ties to royal princes whose only return for
squandering the peoples money is in their
forming part of the ornamental figurehead
TO the government. The latest request is
made in behalf of the Prince of Wales eld-
est son, and the sum which it is considered
necessary the people should pay to main
tain this young sprig of royalty in luxur-
ious idleness is the trlfle of $50, 600 per an
mum. In all probability when the matter
comes up for consideration the Radicals
will make vigorous protest, but just as
certainly those Englishmen who clearly
love a lord" and fairly worship a prince
will be present in sufficient numbers to pass
the bill granting the desired allowance
The time is coming, though, when
this form of royal beggary will no
longer be successful. There is already
evinced disposition among the
mass of the English people, upon whom
che burden Of taxation to support this
monarchical extravaganza most heavily
falls. to resent any further imposition of the
kind. 1t may be that the present genera
ton even will see the refusal of any more
parliamentary grants. and perhaps even
the deposing of the entire royal family
The impudence of the request, which is
almost demand, is intensified by the fact
that the head of the present reigning
family is in her own right enormously
wealthy, and quite able to provide for her
numerous children and grandchildren with
out calling upon the people for assistance.
But England can bear with profit a still
more extended growth of the American
idea of demanding an adequate return in
services for money awarded. 1t is a re-
freshing sign of the growth of common
sense and independence abroad that the
Swedish parliament has had the courage to
refuse an annual grant of $500 to the
second son of the king. The example is
worth being followed by the legislative

prolonged discussion of the memo
rial to transfer that part of Florida west of
the Chattahooche river from the Alabama

decided against the change.
The committee ON revisal presented a
lengthy report in which, among the other
things, they recommend nonconcurrence in

minority report recommended the substitu-
ton of may at his discretion" in place of
''shall at his discretion" The discussion
took a very broad scope, and was continued

THE CYCLONE.
what's Il1

The frequency of cyclones this season has
awakened the scientific theorists who are
always ON deck to explain what is phenom-
email. The cyclone is an interesting subject
for scientific investigation, but as it always
has to be studied at long range no very def
mite conclusions are ever reached. A cy-
clone is an intracticable kind of thing that
nobody ever attempts to tame and conse-
quently can never be put into cage and
subjected to the critical tests of science At
the same time it is a something that peo-
pie think about and talk about and wish
that they did know something definite of
the causes which produce it, the forces
which govern it, and the periods when il
may be expected. For the purpose of graf
flying those of our readers who are inter-
ested in this untamed child of the elements
the GLOBE selects from a mass of cores
pondence, bearing on the subject, the two
following communications: Here is the
first one on the list:
To the Editor of the Globe.
When we consider that the earth is fyina
through creation at the uncomfortable velocity
of 100 miles each minute, and that its sur
face has also another motion crossing the
urSC line OF nnOJlOn ODHQuely at the speed of
1000 miles each hour should not marvel
that cyclones sometimes catch US; the wonder
is that they are not more frequent. No other
power but this infinite cosmic force could give
to our subtle, free atmosphere density and
motion intense enough to accomplish what
the cyclone does. Electricity has no more to
do with the creation of a cyclone than it has
with the creation of a summer shower; it NAV
accompany both, but is an effect of the storm
rather than cause. No flash is seen in the
summer storm until rapid condensation OF
watery vapor reveals cloud. Light is seen
in the cyclone cloud, it is true, before its
whirling and onward motion commences but
the cloud appears ard then the light is seen.
What that light at first is, is problematical; it
indicates intense energy, like the light left
sometimes far above the earth's surface by q
passing meteor, remaining cloud more or
less luminous after the body has become COM
pletely vaporized or has fallen into the earth
an aerolite. "At Kuyahinza-tn Hungary, on the
9th of June, 1866, luminous meteor was
seen and an erolite weighing nearly one
hundred weight, and nearly one thousand
smaller stones fell. The fall was fol-
lowed by cloud explosion and a smoky
streak was visible in the sky for nearly half
an hour" ''The meteeric body enters our

THAT SUBSIDY INIoUIrY.


The steamship subsidy bill doesn't rattle
along, through the house with the same
rapidity that it did in the senate. On the
contrary it has come to a stand still, with
every prospect of being squatted upon. 1t
is measure that ought to be nipped in the
bud, and Postmaster General Villas de-
serves credit for setting his foot on
the Ubiquitous thing in the begin
ming of his official career. The
talk about the necessity for subsidy
of $500, 600 year to certain line of ocean
steamers, in order to build up commerce
with South and Central America, is all boSh.
1t is always the device of the subsidy lob
byist to profess to have some great COM
mercial benefit to the country in view when
urging his claim before congress. The way
to build up trade with foreign nations is to
reduce the tariff and give them chance to
trade with us. AS long as this coun-
hibitory tariff all the subsidies in the
world would not establish a commerce with
foreign countries. This thing of robbing
the public treasury for the benefit of fav-
ored corporations, under the plea of benefit
ing our commercial relations is too old a
trick and has been exposed too often to be
palmed off on the country any longer. Mr..
Villas has made brave stand
against this one remaining vestige
of the old-time subsidy steals,
and the Democratic house of representatives
will be false to its duty and to the princi-
pies of the Democratic party if it does not
stand by the postmaster general in this
contest. The sooner this bill is kicked out
, of congress the better will it please the
American people and the more will it add
to the reputation of the Democratic party.
The supposition was that subsidies would
die when the Republican party went out of
power, and the people ought not to be dis
appointed.
