CONGRESSIONAL FUNERALS.

The bill introduced in congress by a
Southern member looking to the abolish
ment of the indecent extravaganza and
ostentation which now attends funerals of
congressman is timely. The abuse is one
which has grown to such proportions that it
is doubtful whether it can be cured in any
way short of the entire abolition of formal
attendance on the part of a congressional
committee at the funerals of colleagues. 1t
is very fitting that a committee should show
the respect due deceased friend by ac-
companying the funeral cortege, but when
an occasion which should at least call for
the most decorous behavior is made the eX
cuSe for the widest kind Of hilarity, then
the custom should be compelled to fall into
disuse as speedily as possible. The entire
country is scandaliZed upon the occasion
of every congressional funeral The
indignant comments of the press seem
to have awaited nothing in ch ecking the
abuse. The junketing trips are just as
eagerly entered upon as ever. Then there
remains but one way of removing all cause
for scandal. The bill should be passed
which does away with such trips at public
expense and future committees should he
purely honorary, or. at most. be allowed
simply the usual mileage granted con-
gresham in travelling to and from the
capital.

BEATS TIE RECORD.

The GLOBE can point with pardonable
pride to It's advertising columns tits morn
Ing. as evidence that the business men of
the Twin Cities appreciate the value of the
GLOBE as an advertising medium. One hun
dred and twenty-five columns of advertising
matter in one issue eclipse the record of
newspaper advertising in Western journal
ism, and surpass anything ever known in
the history of metropolitan Journalism in
the East, with the possible exception of a
few instances in New York. The GLOBE
gives grateful recognition of its apprecia-
ton by the enterprising people of the North
west, and renews the assurances heretofore
made that the GLOBES progress shall ever
continue to be upward and onward.

MORRIsoN,s DEFEAT.

Mr.. MORRISON has suffered another de-
feat. The failure to get his tariff bill into
the committee of the whole Yesterday was
more of personal repulse to Mr.. MORRISON
than it was defeat CT tariff reform. The
crudeness of his bill laid it open to serious
objection, and some of the members can
probably explain their votes against it when
they could not have done so if they had
voted against more carefully prepared
measure. 1t was not expected that any
sort of a tariff reduction bill could pass this
congress, so that there will be no disap-
pointment to the public in the result OF
Yesterdays vote. 1t will be different, how
ever, with the next congress. That body will
be expected to pass fair and reasonable
tariff reduction bill. or. in default of its doing
so, the people will take the tariff in hand
with an earnestness that will leave no un-
certainty as to the tariff complexion of til e
succeeding congress.

Third Ward CiIizens Meet and Dis.
cuss The,r Needx.
A wel-attended meeting of the citizens
of North Minneapolis was held last night
at Prices store, corner of Twentieth ave-
nue. north and Tenth street. In relation to
the bridging of the railroad tracks on
Fourth avenue north, where intersected by
Washington avenue. Third, Fourth and
Fifth streets. c. F. Baxter was the first
speaker He said that while he had not
fully considered the matter, he did not
think any hasty action desirable, as the
case was already in the courts. Capt.
Cross. the city attorney, he said, has ex-
pressed himself as of the opinion that the
railroad companies could be compelled to
lower the tracks. F. B. Lathrop gave a
history OF the whole matter, and said that
the city attorney deserved great credit for
handling the case in the manner he had.
The supreme court. he said, had decided
that the city could bring an action against
the railroad companies to compel them TO
bridge the tracks. j. C. Price wanted
some action taken at once, the
people Of North Minneapolis were get
ting tired of the railroad tracks, as
they hurt the values of property and en-
dangered the lives Of the people. I'VE
must" said he, 40 something to cripple
the railway companies and show them that
we mean business" A. Dale made similar
remarks and said that if the city had a case
against the railroads it should be pushed. as
the companies might as well be brought to
time now as any time. If we, as citizens.
can do nothing" said he, let us go to our
aldermen and the city attorney and make
them do it," The only way to get the
railroads to bridge the crossings is through
the courts" replica Mr.. Lathrop. The
general sentiment of the meeting seemed to
be that too much time had already been
lost. and the way to induce the railway
companies to do anything was to hold big
Indignation meetings and show that the
people of North Minneapolis were in
earnest. Aid. Mills said that the whole
trouble lay in the fact that when the rail-
roads came the people were so anxious to
get them that an almost exclusive franchise
was granted. On motion it was decided at
the next meeting to appoint an advisory
committee of seven. G.. f. Baxter E. s.
Gaylord and G. w. Horton were then ap-
pointed committee to draw up resolutions
and present them at the next meeting, to
be held one week from last night at the
same place.
