CHICAGO'S GLEE.

Chicago is in great glee. She is jubi-
lating over the supposed fact that rail-
road cannot be operated in winter from
the Northwest to the seaboard by way
of the $780," and consequently the
Northwest must continue to pay tribute
to Chicago.
In words of ironical commiseration
she refers to the ''hyperborean regions
Of Minnesota" and declares that the at
tempt to cut loose from Chicago is futile,
basing her assertion upon the declara-
ton, which the Northwest now hears
for the first time, that the ''Soo'' flour
train, which inaugurated Minneapolis
emancipation from Chicago, has become
stuck i'll snow drift and is for the pres
ent abandoned. AS matter of
fact Chicago's glee is ill-timed and
misplaced. There has been an unusual
detention of all trains, and the $500
road has experienced the same delay
with its flour train as the other roads
have with their regular freights, but if
the train has been abandoned the news
has not yet been made public.
Even allowing for all delays, it will
probably reach its destination much
sooner than if it had gone by way of
Chicago. The Garden City is pretty
big town, but the day has gone by when
it could hold the Northwest in leading
strings,

DAVIS AND RENO,

Senator DAVIS has taken pretty big
contract on his hands when he seeks to
restore Maj. RENO, late of the Seventh
cavalry, to the army. But whether his
earnest endeayorS to bring about that
end are crowned with success or not. if
is impossible not to admire the fidelity
to friendship which the senator dis
plays in making the attempt. During
all his trouble Senator DAVIS has been
the earnest champion and friend of Mai.
RENO, and it is natural enough that he
should, now that he has the oppor-
tunity, do all in his power to aid him.
There is a growing impression, too,
that RENO was too severely punished.
Although his failure to aid CUSTER at
the time the latter was killed with his
whole command was not the primary
cause of his dismassal, it has no doubt
prejudieed the public mind against him.
AS to the causes which actually led to
his degradation it has always been main.

THE REFORM SCHOOL.
Mr.. o. M. Hall Not Thought of for
the Board.

To the Editor of the Globe.
RED WING, Mimi, Jan. 9.-In your notice Of
Mr.. Pettit's re-appointment ON the board of
managers of the Reform school, you state :
"All the delegations from Red Wing, who
have called on Gov, McGill in the last few
months, have been pushing Senator O. NJ.
Hall for this vacancy on the board" In
justice to the citizens of Red Wing as we'll as
myself, this statement should be corrected.
No delegation from Red Wing has pushed
me, or any other person, for that position.
We asked for the appointment of Red
Wing man, but left the selection of the ap
pOlntee entirely to the discretion of the gov
ernOr without recommendation or sugges-
ton. neither desired nor expected the ap-
pointment; but assumed, as matter of
course, that the appointee, whoever he was,
would be chosen from the Republican ranks;
that an irreconcilable Democrat, like myself,
was out of the question. The contest was
not between persons, between Mr.. Petit and
myself. 1t was between Mr.. Petit and
GOodhue county-between single indi-
Gnlliver and 10000 pigmies. 1t is true, as
you state, that Mr.. Pettit's course as a mem
Der OF the board has not been satisfactory to
us. But we made no personal attack upon
him in our appeal to the governor. We
based our claim for member of the board
upon the unbrOken custom which has always
prevailed in this state of appointing at least
one of the managers Of state institution
VI.
school having been legally located at Red
Wing, we claimed a representative upon the
board of managers. 1t seemed to us grossly
unjust that Minneapolis and st. Paul should
monopoiize the entire membership of the
board.
GOV. McGill was not called upon to vindi-
cate nor condemn Mr.. Pettits past course,
nor has he done so. He has simply demon
strated that the governor of this state is more
willing to crafty the personal desires of
single Minneapolitan than to DO justice to a
large community. do not think Gov. Ames
would have served us thus.
So FAR as the removal of the school to the
Red Wing site is concerned, we have Gov.
McGill's explicit statement that he has the
personal assurance of both Messrs Petit
and Murray that the school will be removed
and the law carried out in good faith without
further delay. This honestly done will be
sufficient for our present needs; but we
shall nevertheless be on hand when the next
vacancy occurs. Yours respectfully

THE DEAD ANARCHISTS.
They Will Be Cremated,. an
Their Ashes Worshiped.

They Will Be Cremated, and
Their Ashes Worshiped.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-There is a strong
probability that the bodies of the five
dead anarchists will be removed from
Waldheim and .cremated. Matthew
Schmiedinger, who was prominent in
arranging the details of the burial, said
to-day that John Buehler, the banker.
who is president of the Waldheim Gem
etery company, has still in his possession
the deed for the lots by the anarchist
defense committee, and insists upon
the latter signing an iron-clad
agreement that no other bodies
shall be inferred in the plot, that no
demonstrations or speeches are to take
place inside the cemetery, and that any
monument inscriptions shall be sub
mitted to the cemetery directors. The
anarchists claim that all this was no
part of their bargain, quite the reverse
i'll fact: and that they have been over
reached after having paid their money.
They say the deed was returned to Mr..
Buehler merely to be rewritten in some
unimportant particulars. To-day the
anarchists friends were recalling that
Spies and Parsons had expressed a de-
sire to have their bodies cremated, and
canvass showed that many members
of the defense committee were in favor
of sending the remains to Cincinnati
for that purpose. The general idea was
that urnS with the ashes could then
easily be preserved in some hall, and
there anarchists would assemble for an
annual demonstration.

WAS 1T SUICIDE?
Sudden and Sensational Death of
a Prominent New York Man.

Prominent New York Man.
New YORK, Jan. 12.--This morning
Theodore Houston, who with his family
occupied hansOmely furnished flat at
No. IS Madison avenue, arose, dressed
himself and went into his library. A
few minutes later his wife found him
lying on sofa, Semi-conscious, and
bleeding from pistol shot wound in his
right temple. Doctors were summoned.
but could not save his life. He was
able to talk for about twenty minutes.
but refused to give any information i'm
regard to the shooting. He died this
afternoon. Mrs. Houston says she
knows no reason why he should commit
suicide, and believes the shooting was
accidental. The dead man was a brother
of Col. ID. G. Houston, United States
engineer corps, and of Alexander FL.
Houston, merchant of Milwaukee.
The latter was telegraphed for. Mr..
Houston was fOrty-nine years of age
and was married twenty-one years ago.
At one time he was secretary of the de-
funct Oswego Midland railroad, and
vice president of the New York, On
tario d Western railroad until it's alb
sorption. Afterward, Jointly with
Judge Russell, he was receiver of the
West Shore road. He was a member of
the Lotus club of this city. Several
years ago sister of Mr.. Houston, who
had been i'll for some time, committed
suicide by drowning in New Ha mp
shire river.

WINE VERSUS HIGH HATS.

A member of the w. c. T. T., who
thinks the Pioneer Press made very
lame attempt to be funny when it
urged the chamber of commerce to
memorabilia the Woman's Christian
Temperance union to wage war
against high hats, asks space in the
GLOBE columns to Say on behalf of the
members of that organization that they
have always opposed the wearing of
high hats at the opera. The GLOBE
gladly gives space to this announce
ment, for it rejoices in the knowledge
that there is at least one class of women
in the world who are opposed to this
folly in fashion. We are not surprised,
however, that the w. c. L. U.
should be indignant at the course
pursued by our Third street
neighbOr. 1t has so long been anxious
to be recognized as the organ of the
temperance cause, and has so fire.
quently gone out of its way to attack
the saloons when no one else could see
provocatiou for it, that there was general
surprise when the leader of temper
ance organization made respectful re-
quest OF the chamber of commerce that
wine be abolished from the feStal board
on the occasion of the recent celebration
of its twenty-first anniversary, that this
aspiring temperance organ should treat
the matter with so much levity. The
ladies of the WOman'S Christian Tenn
perance union have right to be indig-
nant. The attempt to force the high
hat in as side issue was rather an I'M
fair way to treat the matter. But we
can give our sisters of the temperance
union tip that may be of some conso-
latiOn to them. If they only knew what
awfully mean wine it was that was
served at the chamber of commerce
banquet everything would be forgiven
and forgotten

garding the CUSTER engagement it
has been settled beyond question that
so far from being 10 blame for
not going to CUSTER's relief RENO is
entitled to credit for having succeeded
in saving his own command. AS to the
charges on which he was convicted, if
there is any lately discovered evidence,
Senator DAVIS would certainly not be
asking too much in requesting the re-
opening of the case.
But if the charges as made, which, by
the way, reflected upon RENO as an
officer and gentleman, shall be found
again to be substantiated, Senator
DAVIS will be quite unwarranted in
asking his restoration. In the mean
while we admire his pluck in sticking
to friend who is down.
