MAKE HIM ARBITRATE.

The strong arm of the law should
grasp President CoRBIN, of the Reading
railroad, and the broad boot of his di-
rectory should propel him into the outer
darkness of unsalaried private life. For
the continuance of the great strike
which has already brought considerable
suffering upon the employees and their
families is due to President CORBIN
alone. The syndicate which virtually
controls the railroad, but which for the
time being has no mandatory authority
over CORBIN, advises arbitration as
means of settling the existing difficult
ties.
The employees themselves are anxious
to arbitrate, and the business men have
sent frequent appeals that arbitration
be resorted to. But CoRBIN is obsti-
nate. He has passed the point where
he could be reasoned with. and now
with blind obstinacy clings 10 the deter
mination to crush the strikers at all
hazards. The attitude of CoRBIN
throughout has been discreditable.
That of the miners has been such as to
merit the appreciation even OF those
who have opposed the strike. They
are sober, orderly and determined In
requesting arbitration they ask nothing
more than should have been freely ten
dered them at first.
If CoRBIN persists in refusing to,as-
sent to it, his directors should find a
way to compel him. The stand which
he is maintaining goes far toward JUST
flying all that dissatisfied working
| men are in the habit of saying concern

Singular Phenomena

To the Editor of the Globe.
When the sublime terror of the late
great blizzard Oh the 18th inst. was
fairly initiated, the wind was blowing
strong from the east, attended with
Snow-SheetS beating in upon us. About
l o'clock in the afternoon there was a
momentary lull, and a dark shadow
yelled the sky, casting SOmber gloom
upon the silvery rillS dancing over the
drifts. Not five minutes elapsed before
the wind reversed its compass and then
opened its batteries from the west far
more furious than before, and so con-
tinued without abatement. During the
night, while the storm was yet bowling,
though the temperature of the room in
which | lay was quite comfortable,
being well warmed by stove fire, and
no wind could possibly creep under the
bedclothes, every dash against the wall
of the house caused the nerves to SILVER.
The tremor of the very fibers of the
wood and glass of the double windows
communicated a feeling that seemed,
more than anything else, to be electric
ShiEerS of frigidity shooting through the
body. Can it be possible, queried, that
this emotion is an absolute negation-
cold? And is electricity a producer as
well as conductor of temperature? The
ShiverS did not feel like the usual eff
fects of chill. The trembling of the
nerves was all the while accompanied
with an electric insulation of the whole
person, highly charging the hair of the
head. Cracking noises were heard
around the picture frames and other
furniture; lights there yisibly flashed in
quick succession, and these imported
shocks when touched. j. o. BARRETT.

The Smoke Nuisance.

To the Editor of the Globe.
There is among the city ordinances
one that seeks to do away with the
smoke nuisance, but glance over the
city any time of day would convince
one that the law is dead letter or the
Smoke-burning devices now supposed to
be in use in number of hotels, blocks
and factories are failures.
Much of the smoke nuisance can be
abated by proper arrangement of fur
naces and together with better methods
of firing, but to completely burn the
smoke and make it a success CONNER
cially, which is the important end to
the business man, is a difficult matter
and would require material alteration
III 80 per cent of the boiler settings in
the city. The situation is further COM
plicated by the fact that absence of
smoke does not necessarily imply per-
feet combustion, but may under certain
conditions mean very imperfect COM
bustiOn and consequent waste and fuel
expense. The furnace must be adapted
to the fuel used and conditions of situa-
ton, draft and proportions should be
studied and arranged by higher class
of help than is ordinarily charged with
such construction. A boiler setting is
built but once perhaps, but fuel bills
every day. G. A. SELEY.

THEY SHOULD GET TT.

Delegations of prominent business
men from cities in Minnesota, WiscOn-
sin, Michigan, Ohio and New York ap-
peared before the house committee on
rivers and harbors yesterday in adj
v0cacy of a substantial appropriation
for the improvement of the Sault Ste.
Marie canal. Their remarks should
bear fruit.
The improvement is one of vast inn
portance and significance to the North
west, as we'll as to the cities of other
states bordering on the lakes. 1t is nee
eSsary in order that vast and increas-
ing volume of lake commerce can be
accommodated. There can be no mis-
taking that fact. Congress can hardly
go astray On the score of liberality.
The appropriation asked. while large in
itself, is not penny in excess of the
sun needed, and reputable govern
ment engineers have time and again
Endorsed that opinion.
1t would be much more in the line of
common sense, and much more directly
to the interest of the entire country, if
the vast sums which are annually
wasted i'll the improvement" of name
less creeks and unnavigable rivers
were for once diverted from the sink

GOV. HILLS AMBITION.

The GLOBE has considerable admira-
ton for the governor of New York, and
it is for that reason the GLOBE regrets
to see Gov. HILL placing himself in
such an unfayorable light before the
country at this time. Gov. HILL is per-
hitting his ambition to run away with
his Judgment in this instance, and by
doing so is losing his grip on his party.
Gov. Hill. wants to be the next Demo-
cratic candidate for president, and has
taken it into his head that the surest
way to attain his ambition is to pick a
quarrel with Mr.. CLEVELAND. Under
ordinary circumstances one could not
find fault with Gov. HILL for re-
sorting to all legitimate expedients
TO promote his political aspirations. But
these are not ordinary circumstances
1t is not a question OF whether HILL or
CIEvELAND shall be the candidate so
much as it is whether the Democratic
party Will be in position to go before
the people in the next campaign asking
for continuation of power. All there
is of it is, that if the CLEVELAND adj
ministration has been a success then
the country will continue to feel secure
under Democratic ascendency. If the
CLEyELAND administration should
prove a failure, then it would be written
down as evidence of the i'm.
capacity of the Democratic party
to administer the government

SOME PASSING EVENTS.

The principal feature of yesterdays munic-
ipal court proceedings was the trial of a gen.
tleman who gave the name of Thomas Dona-
hue, upon the charge of keeping house of
ill-fame, which was made under the ordi-
nance prohibiting such offenses. Mr.. Dona-
hue, it appeared from the testimony, rented
a room ut 219 Washington avenue south
in which he located for alleged
commercial purposes well-seasoned female
known to fame. or rather ill-fame. as Alice
Brown. Mrs. Kate Rainer, the lessor, OBJ
jected to her being there, and yigilant Officer
Schroeder made another of those police COM
mission pulls" i'll spite of the fact that at
least twenty recognized houses of prosti-
tuition exist in the city. Alice pleaded
guilty to occupying apartments for immoral
purposes, and was sentenced to sixty days at
the work house. Then came ND the
question as to Mr.. Donahue being ''done" as
proprietor. When the witnesses were
examined Kate Lewis, a young girl employed
as servant maid was the only one who had
heard of Objectionable conduct in Room g."
and all her testimony amounted to was that
she heard the voices of male and female

THE PEOPLES POET.

The Epoch calls attention to the fact
that the 21St of this month was the hun
DIR edith anniversary of the birth of Lord
BYRON; and beyond fugitive essay or
two in the magazines and weekly jour
mails. the day passed without notice and
without celebration. And yet, as each
year rolls around, the anniversary of
the birth of ROBERT BURNS is the oc-
caSiOn of celebration wherever the
English language is spoken. BYRON is
acknowledged to be superior to BURNS
in ali the elements of poetic greatness.

key when it alleges that BoBBIE
BURNS popularity lies in the fact that
he appealed to the mind and the heart

will always receive homage from the

LAND has defined the Democratic policy
as distinctly as a party leader could,and
he has presented the issues upon which
the next campaign is to be fought. If
the Democratic party repudiates CLEyE-
LAND as its next candidate, that would
amount to a reputation of the policy
which Mr.. CLEVELAND has defined.
To fail to renominate GROVER CLEvE-
LAND would be confession by the
Democratic party that its own admins
tration of the government was a failure.
1t is singular that a man of Gov. HILLS
political shrewdness should become so
blinded by selfish considerations as to
utterly ignore the danger he exposes
his party to by his fight against CLEvE-

A PRISON FIRE.
The Workshops Of the Virginia
Penitentiary Destroyed by Fire.

RICHMOND. Va, Jan 31.-Soon after
o'clock this morning the buildings of
the Virginia penitentiary, leased by the
Davis Shoe company, of Boston, and
operated as shoe factory, was discov-
cred on fire. The flames spread rapidly
and despite the efforts Of the fire de
partment, the buildings occupied by
the shoe company were totally de-
stroyed, together with all the valuable
machinery and stock. The buildings
burned were three-Story bricks and
covered an area of about 700 feet in
length and 90 i'll width. The less to the
shoe company is estimated at from
$3.50, 900 to $4,000. The amount of in
surance is not yet aScertained. Soon
after the fire broke out the bells of the
city sounded the military call, and in a
few minutes about 200 soldiers were OH
the ground to guard against any emeute
of the prisoners, but everything was
entirely quiet, and after the walls of
the burned buildings had fallen in and
fear of further spread of the fire was
over, the military were ordered back.
The buildings were state property and
the loss caused by their destruction will
amount to S25, 600. The shoe company
worked between 300 and 400 convictS.
The insurance on Davis Co.'s ma
chinery, etc, S136, 59S, is divided among
seventy-fve companies. The buildings,
which were owned by the state, were
not insured and are total loss.

In Memory Of the Billiards. Dead

1t is pleasant to note that the courage
and unselfish heroism displayed by the
teachers and others during the late
blizzard, in which so many lives were
lost, is to be recognized, and that con-
tributions are being raised to relieve
those of them who have been crippled
and exhausted by their work in helping
to save the pupils committed to their
care from death. The state superin-
tendent of Nebraska has issued
a circular to every county
superintendent to forward the
names of all teachers under their super
vision who persisted during the dread
ful storm or distinguished themselves
by heroic actions. Some of the quiet
little women teachers displayed such
wise forethought and unselfiSh devotion
to duty as makes the noted chlvalry of
past ages turn pale by contrast. Par
entail love may always be counted upon,
but these teachers, hired by the month

THE STREET sIasoUERADE.

The wisdom Of the Carnival manage
ment in Introducing new features this
year was abundantly illustrated last
night by the Immense turnout of people
TO witness the street masquerade. With
the possible exception of the CLEvE-
LAND reception, there has never been
such jam on our streets. Considering
the limited time allowed TO make prep
aratienS for the outdoor masquerade it
was most creditable affair, and has
proved to be one of the most popular
features of the Carnival. 1t was also Oh
Servable that in every instance where
there has been a repetition of features
that were had in other CarnivalS, there
has not only been a falling off i'll local
interest and enthusiasm, but the
features themselves were of less cOnSe-
quence than in former years. The float
parade yesterday afternoon was a nota-
bic illustration of this. Ii it hadn't
been for the little folks and their
ponies, the parade would have been de-
nominated chestnut.
In this connection the GLOBE takes
the liberty to suggest that too much
field work is demanded of the club Or
CARNATIONS. Two street paradeS
of the Carnival clubs would be
enough for one Carnival The MEM
berS of the clubs have done yeoman
services but, for all that, there is no eX-
cuse for working willing horse to
death. There is no fun in tramping up
and down the streets for an hour or TWO
at stretch through SNOW and slush.
1t is work, and very hard work at that;
and the young gentlemen and ladies
who voluntarily and so cheerfully con-
tribute their time and service to make
these street pageants success ought

WE WANT PROTECTION.

MinneSOtianS want protection. Of
course they do, but it is hardly the kind
that the Eastern Republicans and some
misguided Democrats want to force
upon them. In fact, they want protec
ton from these very individuals. They
want protection from the mOnopolistS,
who have been insisting upon a contin-
uance of the government aid in enab-
ling them to prey upon not only Mime
SOtianS, but all other consumers. They
want protection from the coal barons,
and all the other baronS who have been
filling their pockets at the peoples ex-
pense under pretense of fostering Amer
lean industry. They want protection
against the millions and the political in
fluence of these legaliZed robbers now
being exerted to their utmost to MAIN
tain the system of bondage which has
enabled the mOnopolists to exact tribute
from every consumer in the land. And
thus the universal desire for this kind
of protection is being voiced, especially
in the West. in a way that is unmiStaka-
BILE.
AS Minnesota man says in a Chicago
suppressed any longer in this state. The
farmers are asking for information and
are getting it, and if any Republican is
nominated on an ultra, never-let-up-
tariff platform, the majority in this state
will be very much reduced, if not en-
tirely wiped out. Yours for protection
to the West"
That is the situation exactly. Though
in the West thousands of Intelligent
Republicans join with the Democrats in
the demand that the exaction of tribute
shall cease, it is becoming daily more
evident to them that only upon the
Democratic party can they base their
hope for relief. The anxiety for relief
from burdens which they have borne
too long overrides political considera-
tons, and they will look for it wherever
they can get it.
That it can be expected through the
Republican party, under the leadership
OF the high tariff champion, Mr.. BLAINE,
they are fast recognizing to be a posi-
5ility too slight to warrant considera-
ton.

neglect of duty and extreme cruelty as
the ground for her divorce and alimOny

her husbands property as alimOny. Be

her deposition was taken. Among
other things she stated i'll her
