The Switchmen's. Strike at In
dianapolis Paralyzes Freight
Traffic.
Special to the Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 23.-The
sWltchmen's strike presented no new
features to-day, except in reducing
everybody who could be spared from
other service to take a hand in moving
cars and turning switches. Engineers
and firemen, though claiming to have
sympathy for the strikers, were at work
and declined to leave the switching en-
gines, although they were frequently
solicited to dO so. About the various
yards the strikers gathered and used
their time in some instances in try
ing to prevent the turning of switches
and in others in jeering those
who volunteered to dO their work.
Nothing worse than repeated shouting
of 'scabsr' 'srats!" and epithets OF that
character were INDUCED in, but in the
Cincinnati, Hamilton d Dayton yards a
gang of tOughS tried to induce the strik-
erS to resort to violence. They failed.
No freight trains were moving except
those coming in with perishable freight
and one or two that were made up on
the Belt during the day. There was a
nervous apprehension that the night
movements would bring on trouble, but
a visit TO all the yards showed a quiet
condition of affairs. During the after
noon it was reported that the l.,
d. q S. had agreed to pay more
wages for less work and that the men
had gone to work. The men did re-
turn, but President Hammond says it
was no concession, but that the terms
were satisfactory to both parties. In
nearly every other instance the super
intendents have given orders to the
yard masters to discharge the strikers,
whose places they will seek 10 fill with
new men. 1t is said by some of the
officials that the business of the roads
will he transacted as usual after to-mor-
row, but the strikers gave no evidence
of leSsening their demands. Passenger
trains are not disturbed, although delay
is caused in their making up.

He WILL DO 1T.

A leading Republican paper Of Ohio
insists that the president will "insult
the nation' if he reaffirms his tariff re-
form views in his December message.
The chip may get ready to fall, for that
is just what he Will do. The Ohio idea
that he was ''sat down upen' heavily in
the election is not fortified by an aggre-
cation of the voting figures. which show
that more Endorsed Mr.. CLEVELAND
and reduced taxation than did Mr.. HAIR
RIsoN and his platform for the enrich
ment of the few at the expense of the
many. AS the vote is counted by states,
and not i'll the aggregate. the election is
given the minority candidate. 1t is
monopolistic and partisan arrogance
that would dispute the right and pro-
priety of the adherence of the president
to the policies that he believes will pro-
mote the nations welfare.

SELFISH POLITICS.

This is empilaticaliy an era of selfish
politics. We can find no more striking
illustration of this truth than in watch
ing the progress of political events here
in our own state, and nowhere is it to
be more apparent than in the approach
ing senatorial Struggle. Merit and
capacity to serve the public interests
are sought to be eliminated as factors
in bestowing public honors. and the en-
deavor is made to hinge everything upon
the power Of the almighty dollar. The
GLOBE can speak Oh these matters from
an unprecedented standpoint, because
the Democratic membership in the next
legislature will be so small as to make
the election of Democratic senator an
utter imposslbility. We recognize that
the next senator from Minnesota Will
be a Republican; yet that does not pre-
vent us from taking an interest in the
matter, nor from experiencing a desire
that senator may be chosen who will
be capable of rendering good service to
the state. Independent of all other con-
sideratlonS, our state pride would
awaken an interest of this character.
But to return to the original PROPOSE
ton, we deplore the evidences to be
found on every hand that politics in
this state should have degener-
ated to such purely selfish basis
that a mans wealth should be
paraded as his chief recommendation
for Office. Moralizing on the corrupt
influence of money in politics doesn't
seem to have been successful method
in the past for putting an end to it. Nor
will it, as long as those who have itch
ing palms are permitted to control the
political machines. But the reaction
will come after awhile, and it will be
with terrible force when it does come.

THEY WANT BENJAMIN.

A change of administration is great
nuts for the Washington hotelkeepers.
1t brings a flock of hungry officeseek-
ers to the national capital, who hang on
as long as there is anything to hang on
to. Consequently, the hotelkeepers
enjoy harvest. 1t is funny, however,
to observe the rivalry among the lead
ing hotels as to which shall have the
honor of entertaining the president
elect and his family during the pre-
inaugural days. Gen. HARRISON has
already received gilt-edged invitations
from the leading hotels, but the impress
sion prevails that he will decline all of
them, and will make his home with
Senator SHERMAN until the time comes
for him to occupy the White house.

the cap at the pomel, guard and ring in

this sword is suspended across the body

in 1920 his valuable collection would be
dispersed, and possibly the sword find
its way to Windsor castle. Perhaps
these few remarks may assist in its

A Georgia Wedding Fee.

In these instances the marrying BUSH

She Wants Pay for His Board.
Chicago Herald.
When Godfrey Gorenfo died in 1884
he left wife and eight children utterly
penniless. Mrs. Christina Gorenfio, tho
widow, lived at 81 North avenue, and
about the time of Godfrey's death Henry
Brecllman, an old man and iutirm, went
to board with her. He had no money,
but his life was insured for $4,000 in the
Independent Order of United WOrkmen,
that if she gave him food, lodging and q
little spending money and paid his as
seSsments she should have one-ffth of
the insurance money when he died, and
fOur-fifths of the assessments paid by
her should be repaid. Mrs. GOrenfio
considered this good barga n,
calculating that old Breckman,
then veIy feeble, would die off
before she spent more OH him than her
One-fifth share of his insurance would
amount to. But he was not SO sick as
he looked, and he hung on four years.
When he died, a few weeks ago, the
widow discovered that she had spent
81, $50 on him instead of 300, Brock
man had four children in Michigan to
whom the insurance is payable. Mrs.

herself upon the tender mercies of the
court. She says that one of the daugh.
tiers Of Breckman living in Michigan is
about to collect the insurance money,
and that she will not pay Mrs. GOreniio
her $500. Further than this, she wants
the court to declare that she is entitled
to S1.l5O, and restrain the Michigan
woman from collecting the insurance.
Judge Tuley granted an injunction as
prayed for until the case can be heard.
The widow Gorenflo AYERS that the old
mans children never came near him
while he was alive, and allowed him to
linger thirteen days in hospital and
die, but that their appearance was
prompt when death fixed its hand upon
him.

It's silent messenger
OF perfume, color and graee--all three,
Which. whene'er touch or smell or see,

And out of the past there comes always
(Ah, what so keen as regret!)
The pain and sorrow of one sad day,
When Fate's stern hand parted us for ay e.
A day I'll ne'er forget.
The gown she wore-I recall it well,
A graceful, dainty affair;
Violet in color that / can tell.
And about its folds subtle smell
a perfume fine and rare.

THE ELECToRAL CoLLEGE.

The electoral college business is not
well understood by many intelligent
people. They imagine that it is merely
a sort of machine for counting or declar-
ing the vote. Practically, it is mere
clerical work. The electors meet at the
various state capitals the first Wednes
day in December and vote for president
and vice president by ballot. The vote
is counted. and the result sent to Wash
ington. Legally, these electors can vote
for any man they choose. The eight
gentlemen in minnesota might cast the
vote of the state for CLEVELAND and
THURMAN. To do so would be a breach
of popular trust so fragrant as to render
life as uncomfortable afterwards as
BENEDICT ARNOLD found it after not
able incident. In the history of the
country there has never been an in
stance of refusal to vote for the
nominees of the party, and there is
small danger from this source. Should
the candidates Of the party for both
president and vice president die after
the November election and before the
