HIahone and Wise.

General Malone has gone to New York,
accompanied by his son Butler. There is
no possibility of reconciliation between
himself and John Wise. Thus far Malone
has been beaten, but this is not regarded go
much a Wise victory az Malone defeat,
the point seeming to be to get Malone out
Of the way. When that is done anti Malone
republicans say that Mr.. Wise will not be
the leader of the party in Virginia, as he is
not in harmony with this very same element
that is fighting Malone, their enmity against
him having had ts origin in his bitter fight
against them when he WAS Mabone's lieuten'
ant. The disposition seems 10 endeayor to be
10 srcare harmony by placing some conserva
tive man like Major Yost, of Stanton, at
the head of the State committee. Malone
started by calling Wise baby" Wise
returned by applying the epithet kitten" to
Malone. Since then Malone. in his various
Communications, has characterized Wise as
as 'malconlent," "deserter," week,
shortsighted, unstable and an aspiring maD,"
and "a blower OF glittering bubbles"
Mr. Wise, on tho other hand, is satisfied that it
has been proved at least of Malone that no man
can differ from him and bo his friend, and that
it is his "cold, malicious purpose to put away
from him every man who will not yieldunques-
tioning adhesion to bis views" and thea defies
him ito drive me from my party as he has done
SO many others.
Wise's last card says that he saw that Senator
Malone appropriated the whole federal patronage
to himself, snubbing his six colleagues, and even
Directing to their nomination OF petty Iostmas-
Ter in their own districts without his sanction
and approval" and that every officer in every
department. from the pettiest cerkship upward,
was boarded to himself as jealousy a miser
boards his gold"
Mahone's enemies say that he has made point
of attending the Grant banquet, in the hope tf
getting the notice OF Northern republicans. and
having their influence for his delegation when it
goes to Chicago. 1t is considered that no matter
what turn affairs may take, Malone will appeal
to the national convention.

SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL IS.

TpE RUMoR that the Vatican intenaeo IL
en;no decree condemning boycotting mas
rroved correct. It's now telegraphed rom
pome that the decree referred to has oeeh
;asned and that the Pope condemns the roy
cott and declares 1t 50 practice contrary 10
ins,i,e and charity" The practice 10 mol
only unjust and uncharitebie, but is posi
,ively criminal and, if successful, which, 10y
tnoately. it never or rarely is, would pro
due, untold suffering upon the poor. Inc
rich can always take care of themselves. "A
miller in neighboring city was boycotted
year or so ago because be used barrels mat
had been used before in which to pack bis
-four. He did so because such barrels being
cheaper than new ones he could afford 70
cell his -four cheaper than his competitors
thereby increasing his own trade, to be sure,
but at the same time beEetiting The poor by
reducing the price OF the prime necessary oi
life. This boycott, as in all other cases. IAN
al Rut if it had succeeded, what would
have been the result? Why, The mill would
have closed, all the many poor people IL
employed been discharged, and the cost Of
new barrels been added to the price which
the poor people who had been using TIE
product of the mill referred to, among
whom were the very men who had ordered
the bo,cott-a few coopers-had been &c.
customed 10 pay for their flour. Yes, boy,
cotting is practice that is Dot only contra
ry to Justice and charity, but much worse.

Indiana Prohibitionists.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 15.-The Pro
hibitiOnists organized this morning by
the election of w. III. Hickman, of
Charlottesville, chairman. Every dis
trict was represented by 400 delegates.
The platform opposes liquor legislation,
except prohibition, and recognizes the
WOmen's Christian Temperance union
as an ally. 1t demands free ballot,
not restricted by sex. and fayors a
more equitable system of pensions.
Rev. J. S. Hughes, of this county,
who was candidate for sec
retary of state i'll 1886, was nomi-
mated for governor without opposition.
The ticket was completed by the nomi-
nation of John W. Baxter for lieutenant
governor, DR.. w. A. Spurgeon for sec
rotary of state, Thomas Morrell for
auditor, Allen Furnas for treasurer. G.
Fl. Kiracofe for superintendent of pub
lie instruction, l.. c. Barnes for re-
porter of supreme court and Edward
Hunt for attorney general. Three
Judges of the supreme court are to- be
chosen at the coming election, and w.
Q. Land, r. l.. Coffey and Newton
Burnwell were nominated.

were and never will be worth rap so
far as navigation is concerned. Capt.
SEARS, however, is evidently not one OF
those easy-going engineers who believes
in experimenting to no purpose at the
governments expense.
In his report he declares that an APP
preparation for the improvement of the
James river, in Dakota, would be viz
tually throwing money away, since
while that stream has 1000 miles OF
length in an air line of 300 miles it is
only possible to make it navigable in
occasional stretches of from ten to fifty
miles. and that in addition the course OF
the river is north and south, while the
line of commerce is east and west.
Again, referring to the Yellowstone.
he shows that while large expenditure
of money could make that river navig-
able for considerable distan ce, the
huge amount of money already spent
upon it by the government is virtually
thrown away, since there is absolutely
no commerce to be served in the yell
lowstone valley which.is not reached by
the railroads; a fact indicated by the
absence from the river of a single boat
for five years.
There is a good deal of jobbery in
these annual appropriations for the I'M
provement of rivers, but if every en-
gineer were as prompt as Capt. SEARS
in pointing out their absurdity, where
absurdity exists, it would be reduced to
a minimum.

RESPECT FOR MISS ALCoTT.

The reason for the universal tributes
of respect for Miss ALCoTT now being
expressed by the press of the country is
not far to seek. Dying within day of
her father, whose contributions to liter
ature evince profundity of thought
and depth of research which the
daughter never attained, the expressions
of regret which have followed her de-
mise quite oyerShadow any utteranceS
of sorrow over her fathers loss. The
reason lies in the fact that Miss ALCoTT
identified herself in her literary works
with the great mass Of the people.
She told simple tales, full of human
sympathy in simple way, and found a
universal audience who saw in her
books the counterpart of their daily
lives. Her father wrote for the scholars:
she wrote for the people. She made for
herself distinct place in American
literature, and place that cannot be
easily filled. Though not of a lofty
character, her work from its very SIM
plicity and WholeSomeness of tone
sprang into immediate and deserved
/ popularity.
1t was in marked contrast with the
wishy-washy literature or highly spiced
reading designed for young people of
the present day, and deserves to rank as
the model for the efforts of future story
tellers; just as the work of IRVING and
HAWTHORNE presents an everlasting
example of what the best writing, in an
other direction, should be like.
The evidence presented in Mrs. BUR-
NETr's Little Lord Fauntleroy"
gives hope that Miss ALCoTr may not
be without successor, but the sorrow
with which the demise of the author of
''Little Women is met throughout the
land demonstrates that whoever her
successor may be, he or she will have to
attain pretty high standard before Sc
curing in the affections of the people
any thing like the place he'd by Miss
AJCOTT.

The 80" Gets in Line.

CHICAGO, March 15.-The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy had had a sur
prise in store for the Western roads
to-day in the way of an unqualified con-
sent to the restoration of rates, it agree
ing to advance them in common with
the other Western lines on March 26.
Up to to-day its representatives have
stubbornly refused to agree to any
action which contemplated return to
the old rates until such time as all of
the differences between the competing
lines had been settled and permanent
agreement arrived at. 1t, however,
made sudden change of front this
morning, and fell in line with its COM
petitOrs, who had previously determined
to force up the rates Oh their own ac-
count and ignore the Burlington. The
Burlington's notice of an advance is to
all Missouri river points, and as far
north as Dubuque, 10. 1t is expected
that the Burlington & Northern will
take the same action, and restore rates
in the Northwest,

ALoNEsoME STATESMAN.

Senator INGALLS, is perhaps the lone
soonest man in the country. Since his
disgraceful TRADE against HANCOCK
and MCCLELLAN he doesn't have much
company. 1t is to the credit of the Re-
publican press that, with but compare
lively few exceptions, they refused to
Join the INGALLS, crusade against the
memories of the Unions most illustrious
defenders. The Cincinnati Commercial
is about the only prominent Republican
newspaper to back INGALLS, up in his
defamatory work, and, considering that
Mr.. HAI.sTEAD spent the prime of his
life in making assaults on the characters
of LINCOLN and GRANT, it is not so
much of a surprise that he should have
fellow feeling for INGALLS,. The dead
failure of INGALLS, speech ought to
serve as warning that mud-slinging is
to be no longer tolerated in the politics
of this country. When big fish like
INGALLS, can't succeed at it there is no
use for the small fry to be dabbling i'll

KEEP 1T UP.

The GLOBE has had occasion several
times to commend the dairy commits
sioners for their energetic endeavors to
prevent the public, for virtually all peo-
pie are milk consumers, from impoSi-
ton. But at no time was cOmmenda-
ton more deserved than it is at the
present time regarding the inspection
being made by the commissioners as to
the condition of diaries from the stand
point of sanitation and cleanliness. 1t
appears from their partial report that
none of the diaries visited have been
found in an absolutely satisfactory con-
dition. Some of them were positively
revolving, 10 provision whatever looking
toward cleanliness having been made.
This is matter in which the public is
vitality interested. 1t has right to de-
mand milk that not only comes up to
the required standard in its proportion
of fatty matter, but that is also abso-
lutely wholesome. That milk can be
wholesome which comes from cows kept
in stables badly ventilated and fairly
reeking in filth is uncomfortable. The
crus AIDE which is inaugurated by the in
speeding tours of the commissioners
should be continued until every dairy
coming under their notice shall become
a model of its kind.
1t is as much to the interest of the
dairyman, if they will only look at the
matter in the right light, as it is to that
of the consumers, to operate his dairy
with regard to exact sanitary principles,
for reputation for conscientiousnessin
this regard cannot fail to bring mate
rial reward in the way of increased re-
ceipts. The product of model dairy
cannot fail to command higher price
than that of dairy VIGOROUSLY unclean
and unwholesome. The public is not
slow in approaching a good thing, and
is willing to pay for it.
Obviously, however, it is impossible
for the people to keep themselves in
formed as to. the state of the diaries
whence their milk supply is drawn.
That is the duty of the dairy commits
sioners, and admirably are they per-
forming it.. Let the good work continue.

w L
Killed and Several Hurt.
MILWAUKEE, March ia fire, which
started at 1:45 this morning, completely
destroyed the large four-story brick
block on West Water street, occupied
by Atkins, Ogden & Co., shoe manu-
faeturers, and the Thomas & Wentworth
Manufacturing company, wholesale
dealers and manufacturers of brass
goods and engine trimmings. About
north wall of the burning structure fell
with a great crash, demolishing a
one-story addition in the rear
of Gimbel Bros dry goods
establishment, and burying a
number of firemen in the ruins. Her
man Lecher, first pipeman of Engine
No. 5, was the first of the unfortunates
rescued. He died at 8 a. M at the cen
trail fire station. The body of John H.
Hummell, of Truck No. l, was recovered
about two hours later.
Following is list of the victims, so
far as known at preSent:
HERMAN LECHER, first pipeman, No. 5,
taken out unconscious, died at 3 o'clock at

JOHN CoUGHLIN, Chemical No. 2, one leg
crushed.
PETER VAUGHAN, of Chemical No. 1,
crushed and arms and legs injured.
The entire fire department was called
to the scene, and it was only by the
hardest kind of work that the flames
were prevented from destroying the en-
tire square. Cleary and Doll will prob
ably die. Assistant Chief Klemer, John
Hnmmel and Charles Heider were all
more or less bruised. Chief Foley had
a narrow escape from death. The ag
gregate loss will reach 1925, 900 and the
insurance about S250,000. The cause of
the fire is unknown. 1t started with an
explosion, and was followed by others
at intervals, one of which wrecked the
north wall of the burning building and
buried the firemen. The losses are as
follows: On building occupied by At
kin & Ogden. boot and shoe dealers, and
Thomas and Wentworth, brass and iron
manufacturers, which was owned by
John PlankintOn, loss $4,000, insurance
$4,000; Atkin & Ogden, loss on stock

The report of Capt. CLINTON SEARS,

BURLINGTON LITERATURE.

One of the amusing features of the
strike is the literary bureau established
by the Burlington company, from which
is issued daily publication containing
a consensus of newspaper opinions IA
vorable to the road. 1t is in the nature
of a campaign document, such as pOliti-
cal parties are in the habit of publish
ing during election times, and it is safe
to say that the Burlington bulletin IS
having just about as much effect in
moulding public sentiment as the ster-
eotyped dOdger in a political campaign.
1t is not the machine-made literature
that people care to read.
AS all abstract proposition the Bur-
lington system of wage-paying is proba-
bly, correct. On the face it looks and if
the classification system is an equitable
one, that length of service, age and eX-
perience should count for something.
But, however correct it may be in the
abstract, it so happens that the Bur-
lington occupies the diSadvantageouS
position of being the only road in the
country to adopt this system. As long
as all the other roads maintain different
system and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers unite in the demand
that the Burlington shall adopt the pop
ular plan, then it is a question whether
the principle involved is of sufficient
Importance to justify the Burlington in
making prolonged fight over.
The public mind is certainly inn
pressed with the belief that
mere question of detail as to
how employees of one line shall be paid
is not sufficient justification for i'm
periling the whole commercial interests
of the country and for threatening a
complete suspension of railroad traffic.
If the classification system is the cor
rect one then the Burlington should go
to work and educate the other railroad
lines up to its position. But until that
is done and the railroads are all pre-
pared to act in concert in this matter it
is an idle waste of time to establish
literary bureaus for the education of the
masses

Snecial TO the Globe

Special to the Globe
MILWAUKEE, March ia meeting
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee was held at the Juneau club
rooms this afternoon, and resolution
adopted to hold the state convention
at Madison, May l, to choose delegates
to represent Wisconsin in the national
Democratic convention, OF st. Louis.
The representation will be one delegate
for each 500 votes cast at the election
in 1886. The most important part OF
the call will be the tariff plank. which
will be as follows:
Gall voters are invited to cooperate
with the Democratic party who believe
that tariff taxes upon the necessities of
life should be reduced, and the money
left in the pockets of the taxpayers to
whom it rightfully belongs, instead of
as now accumulated as surplus i'll the
United States treasury. This is the doc
trine of President Cleveland's message
to congress, and that message furnishes
the vital issue for the coming national
camDaign,'
