THE HOUSE.
Admirals to BE Retired..OppOsing
tho Free Ship Hsill.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-On motion of
Mr.. Wise. senate bill was passed prOvid-
ing that Admirals Rowan and Warden may.
after 40 years service, be retired from
active service on their own application,
with the highest pay of the grade to which
they belong. Mr.. Dingley presented re-
mOnstrance against the Dunn free ship bill
from numerous associations and firms, in
Guiding the boards of trade at Bath. Me-.
Bridgeport. Conn.,. Minneapolis, Minn..
and San Francisco, CAL; the Pacific Coast
Snip Owners association; E. E. O'Brien,
Thomaston, Me-; Carton. Norwood d Co.,
Rockport Me-. and the Harlem 81 HollingS-
worth company, Wilmington, Del. The
remonstrances, which were appropriately
referred, represent that the adoption of
free ship policy would destroy the ship
building industry in the United States. and
make this country dependent on British
yards for ships for commercial purposes
and for defense in time of war. The
house, then in the morning hour, resumed,
in committee of the whole, the considera-
ton of the senate bill for the allotment OF
lands in severalty to Indians After the

Lands in SeVeralty.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The severalty
bill as passed by the house is the worst
farce ever attempted in Indian legislation.
1t proposes to give each Indian half sec
ton of land after a majority vote of his
tribe permits it. After two years from the
passage of the bill the government is to
compel the various tribes. as rapidly as may
be possible, to break up tribal relations, and
take land in severalty. The members OF
the committee state that the ridiculous con-
dition of the bill is due to the bungling by
Skinner, of North Carolina, to whom it was
committed. There isn't q tribe in the
United States that could be persuaded III
two years, nor ten, to vote for the allot-
ment of lands in Severalty.

GobbIed the Assets.

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-Attorneys repre-
senting the creditors of the defunct
Guardians Savings institution have
made a motion before Judge Barrett
to have John r. MCGOWAN, the re-
ceiver of that bank, removed. The motion
is based upon certain facts regarding the
assets of the bank which MCGOWAN had
paid to himself and to others illegally, and
which disbursements were not allowed by
the referee on the final accounting of the
receiver. The Guardian Savings institu-
ton failed in 1871, and McGowan was
appointed receiver July 2, 1877. Quinlan
and O'Donohue, the receivers before Nc
GOwan, were removed. McGOwan's ac-
counts show payments to himself as
creditor aggregatng S45. 33S and other
smaller sums. The receiver charged HIM
self in his account with the receipts of
money aggregating S102.0 .021. and showed a
balance in his hands of only 1852. The
recorder finds that McGOwan made pay
ments to himself and others in violation of
the courts orders, and that he should be
held to account for nearly SO, 600 to the
bank, instead of S152. which he claimed
was all the assets that lie had in his hands.

APPEAL TO LABOR.

A Proposed Combination Of Forces which
Bids Fair to do World OF Good for
the Cause.
The address Of the National Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union sent
out from Chicago to the labor organi-
cations is worthy Of the atten-
ton and careful study Of all
working-men. The Union il an earn
est and efficient worker in the field Of
reform. 1t is composed wholly of
women, and its efforts have been d.
rected largely towards creating sem
timent among the sex against
the liquor traffic. While this is
tho main 1t is not the only pur-
pose of the organization. 1t makes
war upon intemperance in all its forms
and endeavors to educate women up to
better and nobler ideas of home and
the family. The good it has accomp.
lished already is incalculsble and the
future promises it broadening field
OF usefulness.
The latest move Of tho Union is an
offer to cooperate with the Knights OF
Labor and other trade organizations in
elevating labor. 1t does not propose
to accomplish this, however, by con.
solidating with the labor unions and so
making them more formidable in num-
bers only. 1t seeks to improve the
working-man's condition by making
him purer. more happy and more
useful man. To this end the Union
asks the labor organizations to aid it in
checking intemp rance in the use OF
intoxicants, in extending a knowledge
of hygiene, of healthful food, of home
economics and of the laws of health
among the men and women who labor
for their daily bread. These are the
lines along which the Christian TEN.
pcrancc women of the land will gladly
cooperate with the labor unions in
their effort to elevate the workng-man.
1t is to be hoped that this proffer of SO
strong and so efficient enforcement
in the battle for labor will not be ig.
nored by the trade-unions The great.
est obstacle in the path of the working.
man has been his own disregard of the
laws of health and economy. Against

What the Great Breweries Are Doing for
the Prosperity Of London.
The Boston Herald contains an, in
teresting London letter giving an ac-
count Of the annual Congress and Ex-
hibition of the Brewing and Allied
Trades of Great Britain. The exhibi-
ton consisted of q great collection of
specimens of machinery, raw materials
and products of brewin industry. The
correspondent says that there was "a
bewildering array of new inventions.
A paper on "The Commercial As
pect of Brewing" said that the Legis-
lalure of 1880 had imposed very heavy
tax burdens on the trade, but that the
industry had prospered in spite of this.
" To-day, owing to the power of steam.
the trade is advancing enormously.
The Herald's col respondent speaks Of
an ingenious circular distributed among
the visitors to the exhibition, one side
of which was covered with useful in.
formation. Among the ''useful' items
were the following:

"it covers 100 square miles, numbering

A BAD EXAMPLE.

The Sound Criticisms Made by the Mis-.
souri, Temperance Women Upon Mrs.
Whitney's Wine Dinner.
+ It can not be questioned that the
Missouri Temperance women have
made strong point in the resolutions
they have passed by regretting tho bad
example set by Mrs. Whitney and her
female guests. That there are those
who may not be able to 60 through
such dinner with safety is shown by
the deplorablo and mortifying event
which occurred in Louisville lately,
when Cleveland heiress and society
belle. who had been to a club dinner
with theater party. subsequently ap-
peared in her box intoxicated and dis
turbed both audience and players by
her actions Had one of the males OF
this party been intoxicated and made
that fact conspicuous he could have
been put out of the theater by call

been 1.-THE as deplorable in ''society"
eyes as the conduct OF this young
woman. It is difficult to conceive Of
any thing more mortifying to herself
and to her friends and family than this
occurrence. and yet it grew out of such
an occasion as that of Mrs. Whitney's.
and the same accident might have hap
pened to any one of her guests. No
one will credit Mrs. Whitney with
wrong intentions, or with the slightest
impropriety from her point of view, for
dinners of that kind are not uncommon
