Some four weeks ago the GLOBE sent
throughout the state 500 circular letters.
They were addressed to all classes Of
he people ana contained the following
questions:
VIII you please favor the GLoBE with your
position on the following questions of the
lay:
Protection-Why you favor or oppose it?
Free Trade-Is it demanded now?
Internal Revenue-Wo you repeal it?
Would you reduce the tariff at all?
How much?
These circulars were by careful
method fairly distributed between Dem
ocrats and Republicans, high tariff and
Ow tariff citizens, farmers, merchants,
and professional men. Particular pains
we're taken to search out with these
circulars, if possible, the existence
Of any tremendous sentiment for pro-
lection. The replies received reveal
better than anything else can Mime
gota'S position. In presenting them the
GLOBE has excluded only such matter

space is given to the replies of Gen.

Versity, and Luth Jaeger, representa-
live Scandinavian of the state. In only
Dne OF two instances, owing to inability

sends it as fair greeting to Mime

might be raised as to the space

be given that Prof. Folwell represents
high educational interests; Gordon E.

that the demand for revenue reform in
Minnesota is fully abreast of the presi-

every section of the state, and to start
Them it seems appropriate to select the
reply of Robert Miller, secretary of the
Democratic state central committee. Of
all the replies only a dozen favor free

Design of tho Catacombs.

For n long time false opinions were n
tCrtained which have been dispelled by
modern research. The Catacombs were
supposed to be forsaken sand pits and
stone quarries, eXcavated by the heather
and occasionally used Us receptacles for
the corpses of slaves and criminals. But
it is now nscertained from the difference
Of soil, which is not ut all adapted for
building material, and the mode of con-
struction, hat they are of Christian
origin and were intended from the be-
ginning for burial places. Another error,
that they were places of refuge from
heather persecution, has likewise been
abandoned. The immense labor required
for their construction could not possibly
have escaped the notice Of the Roman po-
lice; and the heather prosecutor, by
simply closing the access, could AVE
easily smothered the Christians by thou
sands ii they had taken refuge. in those
dark and narrow passages. In spite of
the knowledge gained on the subject
within the last twenty years, these errors
are still repeated in popular books

Closing time was passed, and all the
guests of a saloon at Berlin, Germany, had
left the place except four, who had fallen
asleep over their glasses. They were so
drunk that the proprietor failed to wake
them. Having called n cab, he and cabby
carried the sleepers to the coach AMI
seated them in it. The hostler then gave
instructions to deliver sleeper 1 on front
seat at n house on Frederick street, sleeper
1 on back seat in William street, and so
on for sleeper 2 on front and on back
seats. Cabby took his pay in advance and
drove Off. Ten minutes later every light
in the saloon was eXtinguished, and pro-
prletor n walters commenced snoring
musically. Their rest did not last long,
however. 4 loud ringing of the saloon
bell awakened the bartender, who jumped
out of bed, put IN hastily n gown and
ran down stairs. Whom should he find at
the door but cabby. 81 am not used to
tho general parcel business" he said,
and SO forgot to have them labeled. On
the way they tumbled over one another,
and / cannot make out which is which"
Then the saloon man marked each of the
four with n name written on stiff paper
md stitched to the coat lapel, paid an
other fare, and the cabby proceeded once
more on his trip, delivering each man ac-
cording to the direction given for his

material for successful E-ncineer,.

A number of our leading railway shops
are taking in engineering Students"
bright young men who come from the
technical schools to learn the practical
side of railway mechanics, and who en-
ter as apprentices. They receive slightly
more pay than the ordinary apprentices,
but their wages are still merely nominal.
The experience has been that when en-
gineering students have been thus re-
ceived, the benefit is mutual. These
young men come into the shops fresh
from their mathematics and their draw
ing tables, and while they absorb all that
they can of the probabilities of their
chosen work, they are found to be very
useful by their employing officers, be-
cause of their familiarity with mechani-
cal theory and drawing. There are not
n few master mechanics in the country
who are invaluable in their places-first
class men in every respect-but who, in
early life, had not the advantages of
education which this younger generation
of students has had, and they find many
directions In which these educated young
fellows are made useful. Especially
useful are these students as a detail for
special work of investigation. They arc
well equipped for such work, and they
know how to make a good report on the
same.-Railway Review.

a young man and his wife, who have
not long been married, were intending to
spend the night at her fathers house in
n neighhoring town; and ~ the husband
could not get away until late in the af-
ternoon, he escorted his wife to the sta
ton and put her OF board of n somewhat
earlier train, an accommodation train, as
he supposed, Just before it started. And
it SO happened that III the same car, in

forty or fifty miles from Boston. After

Mr.. Cole, Of Bitlis, . missionary of the
American board in Eastern Turkey, in
describing q journey from Harpoot to
Bitlis, says: I'VE Travelled for four days
through n region where had newly fallen
q remarkable deposit of heavenly bread,
ms the natives sometimes call it-manna.
There were extensive forests of sCrubby
oak, and most Of the deposit was on the
leaves. Thousands of poor pcasantU,
men, women mt children, were out upon
the plains gathering the sweet substance.
Some of them plunge into kettles of boil
ing water the newly cut branches of the
oaks, which washes off the deposit. until
the water becomes so sweet as to remind
the Yankee of a veritable sugaring off in
the old Granite state as he takes sips of
it. Other companies of natives may be
seen vigorously beating with sticks the
branches, which, from having been
spread upon the ground, have so dried
that the g%listening crystals fall readily
upon the carpet spread TO receive them.
The crystals are separated from the pieces
of leaves by q sieve, and then the mama
is pressed into cakes for use. The mamma
is in great demand among these Oriental
Christians, As we were travelling through
n rather dry region, the article came in
play for our plain repast. Chicago

THE legislature now has before it so
many bills of a diverse nature that their
proper disgestion will cause some very
conscientious work on the part of the law
makers. We are pleased to see that the
initial step looking toward statehood has
been taken. The memorial to congress
presented by Mr.. Lafrentz asking that
some specifications of the requirements Of
statehood be made may not result in much
practical good for the present, but it will
show that Wyoming is beginning to feel
her oats, and when she sees something
she needs in her business is not ashamed
t ask for it. Some years may pass be-
fore any recognition is received, but, as
The LEADER has heretofore pointed out,
the work of pressing Wyoming's claims to
recognition cannot be commenced too
early nor pressed too vigorously.

THINGS are in somewhat of a middle
about the Omaha Republican Office. When
the paper was recently purchased the
majority of the stock was secured by S.P.
Rounds, while Cadet Taylor held a fair
slice of it. Upon the death of Mr..
Rounds his stock passed to his heirs, who
delegated to Chas. II. Smith, a son-in-law
who lived in Denver, the authority to act
for them. Mr.. Taylor. who had been
Joint editor and manager, soon discovered
his name lowered from the masthead and
that of Chas. IL. Smith, president and
manager" hoisted instead. o. II. Roth
akcr, another son.in law of Mr.. Rounds,
is editing the paper. Mr.. Taylor is not,
in some respects, as happy as he used to
be. The matter simply resolves itself into
this: The heirs Of the Rounds estate own
the bulk of the property and seem dis
posed to look after it in their own way.

a triplet of figures al marshal them
selves before the human understanding,
and l presume those who are fond of
dates will see much that is suggestive in
this. Assuredly there is the sound of
fleeing time, the tick tack of a clock, the
''going, going, gone" of fate in those
three Fights of 1888. They actually give
me the shivers, while in appearance it is
the most awkward array of numbers 1
can remember to have outlived. How
much jauntier 1777 looksl And as to
1899, it is as graceful as if composed of

There is a ave on Gran Bethuram's

which nearly equals the celebrated Mann

ponds, in which fish without eyes are

caverns, some of which are from sew
enty-five to 100 feet high. A party of
ladies and gentlemen recently got lost in
the labyrinths of the caverns, and several
