CHICAGO'S EAR MARK.

While Chicago man was standing
on street corner the other day, waiting
for cable car, another man stepped up
behind and by a deXtrous cut with a
knife sliced off his ear. The ear
less man had taken undue liberties with
the other mans wife, and the ear pairing
was done as punishment for the of
Tense. AS Judge BEEswINGER says in
the play, the ear cutting was not done
according to the statutes, still the vic
tim is getting very little sympathy from
the general public. There is a senti-
ment III this country which is stronger
Than the written law, that when man
pays for his marriage license he is en-
titled to monopoly of the woman he
marries. The law doesn't prescribe
ear cutting as penalty for invading the
marital rights, but it wouldn't be bad
idea to make it so. 1t would be an ex-
cellent way 10 mark the libertine so that
he could be distinguished from the rest
of mankind. 1t is common among cat
tlemen TO mark their cattle by Sitting
or cropping the ear. So the different
grades of offense committed by the liber-
tine might be indicated by mark on
the ear, and when he commits the crime
of appropriating another mans wife let
the ear be chopped off close up to the
head. For awhile the squeamish might
revolt at the apparent cruelty of this
form of penalty, but in time the whole

Our House of Lords.

San Francisco Examiner
We are now enjoying the first session
of the Fiftieth congress, and the Louisi-
ana legislature has just elected a sena-
tor whose service will not begin until
the Fifty-second. Senator White will
draw pay from March 4, 1891, but will
have no chance to do any substantial
work until 1892. The bare statement of
the fact is enough to show how far the
senate is drifting from the people. Be
fore the Louisiana senator takes his
seat another presidential election will
be at hand, and a new nerd of dark
horses will have arisen. Parties may
be entirely reorganized, and Mr.. White
may not be popular enough in his own
state to command an election as consta-
BILE. Nevertheless, by the grace of a
then forgotten legislature he will cast
half of Louisiana's vote in the upper
house until 1897. When such things
are possible the senate cannot be con-
sidered really representative body.
The Los Angeles convention had the
true idea. The senators should be
elected by the people, and they should
take their seats within month after
their election

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-After a brief
secret session the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill was taken up in
the senate and passed, with the Call
amendment increasing the salary of the
minister to Paraguay and Uruguay from
$1,000 to $500. The conference reports
have been agreed to OH the bills appro-
priating S150,0O0 for building at
Bridgeport, Conn.,, and 100000 for one
at Bay City. Consideration oil the
house bill to prevent the employment of
alien labor on public works was re-
newed, and after discussion, laid aside
on the ground of no quorum. The SEN
ate bill authorizing the purchase of
site near the capitol for the use
of the United States supreme court, was
passed. The senate pension bill calen-
dar was then cleared, 116 bills being
passed, 81 of which were house bills.
Mr.. Stewart gave notice that tomorrow
he would offer an amendment to the
legislative appropriation bill, allowing
any one to deposit at any United States
mint not less than five.Ounces Of gold or
less than eighty ounces of silver and
receive therefor coin certificates. The

Sympathy for the Oppressed

ST. LOUIS, June 6.-Among the reso-
lutions submitted to the committee on
resolutions this afternoon to be incor
porated in the platform was one from
O'Donohue, of Tammany, expressing
sympathy with the oppressed of every
land, and especially of Ireland. 1t re-
celved favorable reception, but after
some discussion it was decided to omit il
from the platform and allow it to be
placed before the convention tomorrow
as separate motion. The resolution
reads as follows: Resolved, That we
express our sympathy with the strug-
CLING people of nations in their efforts fo
secure for themselves in the western
world the blessings of self-government
and civil and religious liberty, and we
especially declare our sympathy with
the efforts of those noble patriots, who,
led by Gladstone and Parnell are con-
Quoting so grand and peaceful contest
for home rule in Ireland"

TARIFF SMALL TALK.
The Time of the House Taken Up
by Insignificant Debate.

by Insignificant Debate.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, June 6.-An inSignifi-
cant tariff debate took up the time of
the house to-day. A great commotiOn
was caused by the announcement of the
denomination of the president. Consid-
Grafton of the tariff bill was resumed in
committee of the whole. The motions
to amend various sections of the lumber
schedule were rejected. Mr.. Dengley
offered an amendment continuing eX-
port duties of the lumber schedules
wherever the exporting countries de-
MED our vessels the right to touch, trade
and take bait. Mr.. Cox, of New York,
read bulletin from st. Louis annOunc-
ing the nomination of Cleveland by &C
clamation. The Democrats applauded
and Mr.. TarSney waived a bandana
rapturouSly. After brief silence the
Republicans broke out into storm
of cheers and applause, by way
of answer to their opponents.
Confusion and tumult continued for ten
minutes. Mir. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, offered to amend the Dingley
amendment by providing that whenever
Canada shall grant to the United States
fishing and other vessels, commercial
privileges, Int IlSul W DuS Udlt anu
tranship, cargoes of fish from that coun
try shall be admitted free; and, provid-
ing further, that whenever Canada adj
mits free of duty articles produced in
the United States, similar privilege
shall be granted to similar Canadian
products by the United States. With
out action the committee arose, but the
house at once went into committee of
the whole again on the Indian appro-
priation bill. Senate amendments were
nonconcurred in, and the bill was sent
to conference. The house then, at 4:30,

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.
From the National Democratic Platform o
1875

From the National Democratic Platform of
1876.
We denOunce the present tariff, levied
upon nearly 1000 articles, as a master
piece of injustice, inequality and false
pretense. 1t yields a dwindling, not a
yearly rising revenue. 1t has impov-
eriShed many industries to subSidiZe a
few. 1t prohibits imports that might
purchase the products of American
labor. 1t has degraded American com
merce from the first to an inferior rank
Oh the high seas. 1t has cut down the
sales of American manufactures at home
and abroad, and depleted the returns of
American agriculture-an industry fol-
lowed by half our people. 1t costs the
people five times more than it produces
TO the treasury, 0bstructS the processes
of production and wastes the fruits of
labor. 1t promotes fraud and fosters
smuggling, enricheS dishonest officials
and bankrupts honest merchants. We
demand that all custom house taxation
shall be only for revenue.
From the National Democratic Platform of
1850.
A tariff for revenue only.
From the National Democratic Platform,
1SS41
Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa
ton. The Democratic party is
pledged to revise the tariff in spirit of
fairness to all interests.
Sufficient revenue to pay all the eX-
penses of the federal government, eco
nOmically administered, including pen
sionS, interest and principal of the pub
lie debt, can be got under our present
system Of taxation, from custom house
taxes on fewer imported articles, bear
ing heaviest on articles of luxury, and
bearing lighteSt on articles of necessity.
We therefore denounce the abuses of
the existing tariff, and, subject to the
preceding limitations, we demand that
federal taxation shall be exclusively for
public purposes, and shall not exceed
the needs of the government economic
ally administered.
From President Cleveland's Annual Message,
Dec. g.
The simple and plain duty which we
owe the people is to reduce taxation to
the necessary expenses of an econOm-
zeal operation of the government aid to
restore to the business of the country
the money which we hold in the treas
ury through the perverSion of govern
mental powers. These things can and
should be done with safety to all our
industries, without danger to the OPP
portunity for remunerative labor which
our workingmen need, and with benefit
to them all and all our people, by cheap
ening their means of subsistence and
Increasing the measure of their com
forts.

Domestic Relations.
BosToN, June 6.-The Globe of to-
morrow will publish letter written by
Mrs. Cleveland to lady friend
in Worcester, who had forwarded Mrs.
Cleveland copy of the alleged
statements of the Worcester clergyman
against the character of the president.
The letter is as follows: Executive
Mansion, Washington, June 3, 1885,
Mrs. NlcOdemuS, Dear Madam:
to your letter, that every statement
made by Rev. G. H. Pendleton in the
interview which you send me is basely
false, and | pity man of his calling
who has been made the tool to give cir
culation to such wicked and heartless
lies. can wish the women of
our country no greater blessing
than that their homes and
lives may be as happy and that their
husbands may be as kind, attentive,
considerate and affectionate as mine.
Very truly,
FRANCES f. CLEVELAND.
The clergyman claimed he was mis-
quoted in his interview. The state
ments attributed to him were in sub
stance that on a recent visit
to Washington he had been
informed Mrs. Cleveland's married life
was unhappy, and that the president
was abusive I'D his demeanor towards
her and otherwise unkind.

THE BABY ANARCHIST.

Around the house all day he goes,
BY baby fancies led;
He sometimes stands upon his toes,
. And sometimes on his head.
He takes the flower, pot and all,
And puts it in his lap;
He spills the syrup in the hall
This naughty little chap.
Your silk umbrella, spick and span,
He sticks in deep rat-holes;
And with his mothers rarest fan
Hammers your frailest bowls.
He ties the pendulum with a string
While singing baby songs;
He, S always sure TO put one thing
Where something else belongs.
He'll take match and light the cat,
He'll paint the poodle's head;
And pour frail crackers in your hat
And leave them i'll your bed.
Adown the register he'll throw
The spools with nimble wrist;
He's often wished in Jericho
The Baby Anarchist.
But never war upon him wage,
Nor whip him till he roar
Suspend him in a roomy cage,
Five feet above the floor.
