RIVER AND HARBoR BILL,

It is so seldom an opportunity occurs TO
commend congress for its wisdom that the
country will be prompt to avail itself of
such an opportunity when it does present
itself. The action of the house yesterday
refusing to insert a canal appropriation in
the river and harbor bill is the one redeem
ing act of this congress. 1t is the most
sensible thing that congress has done, and
the country will be swift to give recogni-
ton of that fact. Whether or not the gen.
eral government ought to engage in the
work of building canals is another ques-
ton. If it be conceded that it ought, still
congress is justified in refusing to mix up
an appropriation of this character with the
river and harbor bill. Take the Hennepin
canal for illustration. If this projected
enterprise has merit enough to deserve
an appropriation from the general
government it ought to occupy an independ-
ent position and be separated from all other
enterprises. The fact is that the appro-
priations usually made by the river and har-
Dor bill ought to be put into two distinct
bills-one appropriating money for harbors
exclusively, and one for the improvement Of
navgable rivers. More than this, the
work should all be planned in advance of
the appropriations, and no money expended
except in carrying out the plan of improve
ment that had been previously furnished.
1t is only by adopting a system of this kind
that we can ever hope to see an honest and
meritorious river and harbor bill pass
congress.

Mr.. LOVELY doesn't have such a walk
over in the First district as he thought he
was going to have. Mr.. WHITE is at home
now and is laying up the fences. The gaps
are being closed up and there are no holes
big enough for Mr.. LOVELY to creep
through. Mr.. DUNNELL has stretched HIM
self across the only opening that LOVELY
could discover, and as Mr.. DUNNELL
possesses a good deal of corporos-
ity he fills a good sized aper-
ture. 1t is charged against Mr.. LOVELY
that he is using Doodle in the cam
paign, and that he is being supplied from
the fund which the Pennsylvania protec-
tionists are furnishing for the Minnesota
campaign. These charges are made against
Mr.. LOVELY by his own party friends,
therefore the GLOBE is not in condition to
vouch for their accuracy. But it does
know that Mr.. Milo WHITE has come
home with blood in his eye, and if the
Pennsylvania protectionists knock him out,
it will be after big fight. 1t looks now as

THE HONDURAS MINES.

In view Of the interest excited through
out the Northwest by the highly-colored
stories about the fabulous wealth of the
gold fields in Honduras brief review of
the recent report of the United States vice
consul stationed in the vicinity of the min
eral belt will not be amiss. After careful
personal examination of the mines he says
that while mineral veins of undoubted rich
ness exist in Honduras they can only be
worked by the expenditure of a great
amount of capital. The placer mining
too, can be protitably carried on only by
the hydraulic process. The earth is too
poor to enable the miner who expects to
use the ordinary rocker and pan to obtain
even living. 1t is evident, therefore,
that the individual who expects to
make his fortune by washing out gold
through his own. unaided efforts would better
shun the feveriSh land of Honduras despite
the rose-colored tales of its richness On
the other hand there is a tempting field in
Honduras for the investment of American
capital in large amounts, for the vice consul
is confident that such investment, in con-
sideration of the liberal concessions the
government is willing to make and of the
undoubted mineral richness of the country,
will return large per centage. In short,
the situation is pretty much the same in
Honduras as it is in every mining country.
Those who have money to invest and time
to waste may reasonably expect to make a
fair profit. but those whose only capital is
their individual labor would much better
remain at home and .'bear the ills they
have than fly to others they know not Off

CH1CAGo's POSTAL sCAMPs.

This is bad season on scoundrels, par
ticularly that class of rascalS who are in
official station. 1t is not to be taken for
granted that there is an unusual amount of
rascality going on this year because we
read of so many criminals who are brought
to justice. The probability is that there is
less crime than usual. The only difference
Is the rascals are being found out and
caught up. The revelations of fraud and
theft il. the Chicago postoffice are

officials who had the run of the postoffice
for years. They were looked upon as ex-
Rmples of all that was honest and right
eous. Moving in the highest Chicago So
riety, occupying prominent places in the
Chicago churches, and holding important
positions of trust under the federal govern
ment, it would have been shock to the
whole social and religious community of
Chicago to have intimated that there was
my croOkedness in the official conduct of
these sanity officeholders. The disclosures
chat have been made in this case only go to
show that when man is entrusted with

CHICAGO, July 27.-In little house on
Larrabee street, the number of which is

to-day which was calculated to move any,
one to pity. On different beds lay John
Wiedeman, his wife and three youngest
sons. They were writhing and
Squirmlng about in the utmost
pain, and their restless move
ments were pitful to contemplate.
The family is suffering from the dread dis
ease trichin0siS. Mr.. Wedeman came to
the city with his family, which consisted OF
Mrs. Weideman and four SONS, on May 3
from Thornton, LII. They were all in per-
feet health. Two weeks ago they purchased
roast OF pork at butcher shop in the vi
entity. 1t was prepared for the table, but
the cooking was not thorough. In spite of
the rareness of the meat the whole family
partook of it heartily. Two days
later the eldest son was attacked with
vomiting. Nothing was thought Of this in
connection with the rare pork. and as tie
young man recovered, the circumstances
passed out of the minds of the family. Two
days ago, however, the entire family, with
the exception OF the one mentioned, became
sick. They suffered the most eXcruciating
pains i'll their muscles. They
could not imagine what was the
matter. and after trying all the remedies at
hand, finally called in physician. He
summoned others, and at present there are
| five in attendance, among them Drs. Baas
and Illngsworth, and a professor from one
of the medical colleges. The physicians,
after thoroughly diagnosing the case, de-
cided that they were well-defined cases of
trichinosis. 1t is the intention
of the physicians to make an
incision into the arm of one of the
patients and examine the flesh for the pur-
pose of discovering the parasites. At pres
ent hopes are entertained that the three
children will recover. but there is only a
bare possibility that Mr.. and Mrs. Weld
man can be saved. Mr.. Weidman is 40
years of age, Mrs. Weidman 46, and the
children IS, Is, ID, and IL respectively.

PANA, Ills, July 27.-Through informa-
ton from the conductor of the east-bound
indianapolis 81 st. Louis accommodation
train last night, two young men giving their
names as William Taylor and Cal Collocan
were arrested here in box car about mid
night, having i'll their possession over 500
counterfeit coins of the issue of
1884. The denomination was 81
pieces that have the silver ring,
but are plainly spurious by weight and
general appearance. The information was
sent to the United States marshal at Spring
field by Deputy Sheriff Roseberry, and the
men will be taken to the capital to be dealt
with for the crime of counterfeiting. A re-
ceipt and crude tools for making the coin
were also found among the effects of the
prisoners, who also admit their guilt, but
make the plea that they were driven to it
by poverty and through poor success in the
undertaking were going homeward to
abandon the enterprise. They give their
homes as Pope county, this state, and claim
respectable parentage. They admit that
the names given are all spurious.

COLUMBUS, Ind, July 27.-Of late quite

as the dark eorner'' on account of its
crimes, where all traces of them would
suddenly disappear. Last Saturday night
W. w. Craig of Sardinia, Decatur county.
had $3.50 mare and a new side bar buggy
stolen, and the thief. as was shown by the
tracks, left at once for the clark corner"
where the trace suddenly ceased and efforts
to get trace of the stolen property have
proved futile. Last December, also.
the body of man named
George Cooper was found in this section,
perforated with bullets, and his head fear
fully beaten with a club. The bottom of
his boots showed stirrup marks and the up
per of one of them showed the marks of
horses teeth. The same night two horses
were taken from stable 200 yards away,
and found saddled and bridled the next
morning in the road. Evan Fix, for whom
Cooper worked was tried for the murder
but acquitted. 1t is now known that the
death OF Cooper and the theft of the horses
was committed and detectives on trail
