DE GoREs, NEW SCHEME.

Anything that tends to lowering the cost
of living is a direct factor in aiding the
moral and material advancement of those
to whom the struggle for existence is at
best but an untiring contest against over
Whelming odds. For this reason every pos
sible encouragement should be given Mar
quis DE MoREs in his latest scheme, the
shipment Of dressed meat directly from the
producer to the consumer. In so doing the
profits which must, as is declared to be the
case, be paid to eleven middlemen, will
be done away with and the consumer will
be accorded the advantage of the saving
thus made. While there are many difficult
ties in the way of adequate supervision
over the numerous tedious details which
successful operation of the new plan in
wolves, they are not insurmOuntable. The
resulting benefits are of such an important
nature that the experiment is well worth
trying. AS success or failure would
depend upon the consumers their
verdict would be speedily declared
and as the scheme would operate markedly
in their favor this verdict could only be
given in one way. In this connection the
discrimination against the eastern shipment
of dressed meats becomes of interest, and
with The. operation of DE MoREs' plans ST.
Paul would join Chicago in an indignant
protest. Not only that, but the large army
of wagewOrkers interested in obtaining the
means of subsistence as cheaply as possible,
would make their influence felt to such a
degree that mOnOpolistic discrimination
be compelled to give way to the demands of
popular sentiment.

THE BRAVE WESTERN GIRL.

There is no discount On the Western girl
She is full of.pluck and always has the fac
ulty of doing exactly the right thing at the
right time. AS the leader of fashion she is
always worthy of imitation, and never
more so than at the present time, when
she is inaugurating the practice of cowhid-
ing the tenderfoOted dude who stands on
the street corner for the purpose of insult
ing ladies. There is a class of young
men to be found in every city who
are known as Washers. They are
a cOnceted and impudent set of
puppies who imagine that all they have to
do is to strike an attitude or look sweet and
the girls are bound to fall in love with
them. They have likewise habit of at
tempting to form the acquaintance of ladies'
without the f0rmality of an Introduction.
One of these miserable excuses for a man
attempted the arts of the professional
masher with a st. Louis lady yesterday
and as a result received well laid on
horsewhipping from the young woman
whom he had insulted. Now that ST.

it would be a most excellent plan for the
young ladies in all our Western cities TO

CORNERED.

JACOB SHARP, the notorious, has been
cornered at last. 1t is stated that the in
yestigating committee of the New York
state senate has succeeded in collecting
facts to weave an unbroken chain of EVIL
dence which will prove beyond doubt the
charge of bribery against SHARP and the
aldermanic council of the city. In adj
dition to this two of the aldermen have
made confessions which corroborates the
evidence already in the hands of the COM
mittee. The New York papers assert that
the proofs of guilt are so clear as to make
ii impossible for the culprits to escape.
The evidence shows that the great ring
has ramifcationS and connections far be-
yond what was generally supposed. 1t not
only includes the city government, but en-
braces many officials of the state govern
ment. 1t seems that JACOB SHARP spent
$500, 600 on the state legislature to secure a
bill that would authorize the city govern
ment to grant him franchise for his street
railway. In fact, JACOB SHARP has eX-
hibited talent as a ring boss which would
have done credit to WILLIAM NJ. TWEED
in his palmiest days, and the exposures
which are to result from the present in
YestigatiOn will be an earthquake of as
great force as the one which bursted the
TWEED ring.
Ex-senator CoNKLING is the TIIDEN of
this investigation and has made reputa-
ton which, if it doesn't land him back in
the senate, will be an eternal disgrace to his
state. But as all great public reforms owe
their origin to the press, SO in this case the
most potent factor in exposing the great
swindle has been the New York World.
The World first brought the matter to pub
lie attention and with vigor and enterprise
characteristic of this great Independent
journal proceeded to work up a case against
the ring, which is now eliminating in the
most complete overthrow of gang of pub
lie thieves that was ever known. JACOB
SHARP is dumbfounded at the enterprise of
these newspaper fellers." He doesn't I'M
derstand how it is that when he supposed
that the whole business was shut up as close
as clam the newspapers got on to it so ac-
curately. AS one of the gang testifies there

NAVAL DECENTRALIZATION.
The House COnmiitee:S Coming
concentrations.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-The members
of the house committee on naval affairs
held an informal meeting yesterday, at
which the question of the rehabilitation Of
the navy was discussed and interchange of
views on the subject was had. As far as
can be learned 1t was the unanimous opinion
of those present that the navy should be re-
constructed. The committee will meet to-
morrow and will probably agree upon a re-
port, which will be presented 10 the house
without delay. The recommendations will
involve the expenditure of IS. OOO. 900 or
$40, 600, COO. They will recommend the
completion of the monitors already begun,
and liberal appropriation for naval ord
nances; will advise the construction of from
fifteen TO twenty torpedo boats and a large
expenditure for topedOeS, and will
provide for the construction of six or seven
steel-belted cruisers of 3, 900 to 5000 tons.
These cruisers are to be the man reliance
of the navy. Their features are swittness
and the power of their ordnance. There
is difference of opinion as to whether this
work should be done in the navy yards by
the government or by contract. and both
plans will probably be given a trial. All
the ordnance work will be done in the
yards and most, if not all, will be done at
Washington. The construction of ord
nance will be the almost exclusive work of
the Washington yard. and it will be the
aim TO have it thoroughly equipped. The
committee will recommend very perfect
torpedo system. The boats used are not
expensive. costing about $50, 600 each, and
are considered very effectual as means of
defense. The committee do not favor the
construction of heavy iron-clads. which

IN NEED OF A BOSS .

A Chicago newspaper has made the dis
coyery that JAY GOULD owns st. Louis.
If this be true. it must be admitted that Mr..
GOULD is the proprietor of valuable estate,
as it is likewise tribute TO his good iudg-
ment in making investments. What Chi
cago needs is a proprietor with sagacity
enough to take care of his property. Things
are getting very much at odds and ends
down there. There are great many fences
getting ont of repair, and a good many
things that need brushing up. The rumor
that JAKE SHARP had his eye on Chicago,
with view of buying the town as soon as
he disposes of his New York province, prob
ably originated from the fact that whenever
Mr.. SHARP plants a potato crop he always
selects fertile patch of land.

catch can match in jackets, agreeing TO win

Crookston proved ''stunner" and broke the
one, two, three and four-mile records at the

when his skate broke. Bromley con-
sented TO new start, and at the
end of the mile the skate again
broke. Bromley Iben drew of. Afterwards
Manager Eek gave a special purse, and the
skaters made new start Again Corruth
shot TO the front AMI kept il for two miles,
breaking all records in the rink, as follows:
First mile, 1888; second mile, 5:07. Bromley
then passed and broke Ehlert's three-mile
record two seconds-lO:42. He made the
fourth mile in 1l:2I, and ended half-lap
ahead in 1855, four seconds slow.

resolution from the Judiciary committee.
which was adopted, authorizing the COM

general is pending before the committee.
The most serious of the charges are said to
relate to alleged election frauds when Mr..

Norfolk district, and the persons and
papers TO be sent for will come chiefly
from Virginia. The finance committee re-
ported adversely upon the nomination of
McGraw to be internal revenue collector
for West Virginia. There were said 10 be
charges in the treasury department against
Mccormick. McGraw's predecessor, made
by discharged employee. The charges are
not among the papers sent by Secretary

assumed by the majority of the finance
committee to have been withdrawn, hence
