INTRODUCED BY DAVIS.
Several Bills OF Importance Intro
duced by Senator Davis.


Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator DAVIS
introduced bill amending the statutes
III relation to immediate transportation
OF dutiable goods. by request of Hon.
William BillSon, of Duluth. 1t was pro-
posed to insert the word Duluth in sec
ton 1881 in order that the collector of
the port may act as an appraiser and
allow goods to continue i'll shipment
without the present delay, which is con-
Sidered unnecessary. Also bill amend
ing the pension laws so as to remove the
disabilities of those persons who, hav-
ing participated in the rebellion have
since enlisted and served in the United
States army and become disabled. The
bill is we'll drawn and has evoked con-
siderable favorable comment from
Southern senators. Senator Hampton
said: 1t is strange that some Northern
senator or representative has not
taken the Initiative in this act of Justice
long since. However, it never even Oc-
CURED to me until the senator from
Minnesota introduced it, and it shows
that he is broadminded and looks at
the whole country. and not merely 1T
his OWL section" Senator Davis also
filed a petition from the Stock JobberS'
Union OF st. Paul for the abolition taken
and licenses levied upon commercial
travellers; also, from the same union,
petition TO amend the interstate law in
the matter OF mileage and extra bag
gage tickets, so that regular travelling

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, MIMI, Jan. 4.-In the dis
trict court to-day considerable excite
ment was made manifest when w. II.
Bailey was arraigned under an indict-
ment charging him with perjury. He
was given until Jan. 81 to plead. The
crime was alleged to have been COM
mitted Jan. II, in the giving of testi-
mony concerning the late celebrated
boom case. Bailey is of high standing
in the community and well known
through the state. George Clarke,
charged with assault, was acquitted.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.
In addition to other improvements,
the Standard Oil company has just pur-
chased 400 feet frontage in slip No. 6, of
Bay Front division, as we'll as six lots in
the same slip and adjoining, but on the
water front, and the title to these lots is
now being examined by an attorney. To
be explicit, they own the 400 feet at the
base of slip No. 6, in block 81, together
with half of the end of the slip and lots
adjoining and lying along the
railroad track, in all about 800
feet. On this property they intend
to build mill and an elevator. This
latter information is taken from a letter
OF the auditor of the Standard company.
1t is supposed by those in position to
know that the Touring mill and elevator
is an adjunct. The belief is strength
ened by the fact that the Standard Oil
company OWNS several large farms in
North Dakota and Minnesota, on one of
which, near Grand Forks, their build
ing Improvements alone have cost $780,

A letter has been received by Chief
DOran from Nova Scotia, asking for in

HAS NO SHOW.
The Daily News of this city has
changed its candidate for mayor at the
coming election from Richard Cullen to
John Mckinley. 1t is supposed that
monetary considerations induced the
change, as neither candidate has a
ghost of a show against John 3. SUIT

Persons with money to invest will do well
to turn their attention to Duluth and Supe-
rior. M. B. Harrison, 6O2 Duluth National

A Wisconsin RemonStrance
Special to the Globe

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. - Senator
Spooner introduced an important meas
ure, in the shape of remonstrance
signed by upward of 1000 people,
against the passage of Senate Bill 361,
which grants the Duluth IL Superior
Wisconsin Railroad company the right
to bridge nayigable waters of the
United States at the head of Lake SUI
perior, between Connors, Point, Wis,
and Rice's Point, MINI. This Is not the
same bill as that introduced by Con-
gresham Rice, as his was concerning a
canal between Rice's Point and Mime
sofa Point. There can be no doubt that
the remonstrance is the expressed will
of a great number of people of that sec
ton, but it seems to be conceded that
public interests demand that the rail-
road shall have permission to do the
bridging proposed.

YOUTHS CHOICE.

The campaigns of past years (since
the war; have not, as a rule, offered to
the young men of the country such op-
portunities for conscientious decision
and honorable effort as this does. A
contest for simply the offices is repug-
nant to the spirit of youth, untram-
meled by record or a pledge.
But this campaign, particularly in
Minnesota, contains inducements to
young men that for the governments
sake and their own ambitions can
hardly be ignored. Naturally the
question is before the people as to
whether it is better that they pay more
for the necessaries of life and have no
competition or pay less for clothing and
food and enjoy competition. Locally
there is the issue as to whether the
Inscriptions use of money and patron
age by the Republicans is to perpetuate
that party in power, or its sins be re-
buked by an overwhelming defeat.
Here are issues that young men can
study and consider. and when thought
has ripened into action, make a choice.
These are issues involving the morality
of our national and state governments.
They demand, by their newness, that
young men shall, with all the enthusi-
aSm of young blood, present them.
The hour is nearly at hand when the
two great parties will face each other
on these issues. The hope and wish of
all thinking men is that the young men
may be found in the front and on the
side of that which is just and right.

DECORATION DAY.

The falsity of the oft-repeated charge
that republics are ungrateful will have a
beautiful demonstration to-day. Twenty
three years have passed since the sound
of the last gun died away on the plains
of AppOmattoX, and yet the memory of
the brave men who died in defense of
our national integrity is cherished as
fondly as though they had died yes
terday. Time has softened the aSperi-
ties of the war, and has healed its
wounds, but it has not brought forget
fulness of its dead heroes.
The foreigner visiting our land will
be struck with amazement at the exhibit
ton of national sorrow to-day over the
loss OF men who died a quarter of CEN
tury ago. Ours is the only nation that
has its Decoration day, and people of
other lands cannot understand the SEN
timent which prompts the exercises of
this day. But we understand it. The
flowers that we lay upon the graves of
our dead heroes to-day are but the Wis
IDLE expression Of a sentiment which is
the wellspring of our national life. The
union of these states cannot be dis
solved and constitutional liberty cannot
perish from the earth as long as we hold
in grateful remembrance the heroic
valor of the men whose graves we deco
rate to-day.

THE GARBAGE CONTRACT.

In yetoing the garbage contract Mayor
SMITH acted from common sense view
OF the matter. 1t is very bad policy to
bind the city to five years contract in
anything when a contract already exist
Ing has over year to run.
His action in this instance is all the
more cOmmendable since it is by no
means sure that the present method of
disposing of garbage is the most salts
factory. With the continued growth of
the city the removal of garbage to the
outskirts of the city, to be simply
dumped upon the ground, must neces-
sarily be offensive, if not absolutely del
eterious to the public health.
The crematory method of removing
garbage seems, upon the whole, to be
the most satisfactory. 1t has been tried
with success in other cities, and there is
no reason why it should not be equally
successful in st. Paul. Obviously, it
dispoSes of the garbage in the most
wholesome manner possible. Though
the first cost of crematory is consider
able, the subsequent expense is less
than by the dumping method.
The question, as the health officers
well know, is by no means an insignifi-
cant one. 1t should be carefully con-
sidered before the new contract is let !;
and if it is found that the arguments in
favor of a crematory are well sustained,
that mode of diSpoSing of the garbage
should take the place of the method
now in vogue.

form. Gov. McGILL's friends likewise
acquit him by pointing to the free trade
plank in the platform upon which the
governor was elected two years ago.
So the full responsibility is shifted upon
the shoulders of MIR. MERRIAM. 1t is
alleged that he controlled the cOnven-
ton over the combined strength of Nc
GILL and ScHEFFER, and had every
thing fixed just as he wanted it. 1t is
matter of history that the committee on
resolutions reported a provision favor
ing tariff reform. The chairman of
that committee was from the Fifth dis
trict, and it was even limited that KNUTE
NELSON was the author of the resolution.
But whether that was true OF not, the
resolutions reported by the committee
did not suit the man who boSsed the
convention, whoever he may have been,
and at his instance the tariff reform
plank was stricken out and a substitute
favOring protection was adopted. 1t
may have been Mr.. MERRIAM's work,
or it may have not. But appearances
are against him. At all events, he is
now looked upon as the representative
of the protection wing of the Repub
lican party in this state, and the reSolu-
tIOns adopted by the late Republican
convention will be popularly known as
the MERRIAM platform, just as the Farm
erS' alliance resolutions are known as
the SCHEFFER platform.

AFFAIRS In Cuba.

Perhaps our Faribault friends who
recently petitioned congress to enter
into negotiations for the purchase of
Cuba may be nearer the attainment of
their wishes than they think. A metro
politan journal has undertaken an in
vestigation of affairs in Cuba, and finds
them very deplorable indeed.
The island is under martial law, and
all Semblance of justice is lost sight of
in the conduct of the officials, who re-
gard the island and its people as means
for their own profit and pleasure. Op-
preston and aggression are rife, and
no one dares protest to the authorities
with any hope of relief. Long and sad
experience has taught the Cubans that
nothing can be expected from Spain.
The only hope the people have lies in
the Intervention of the United States.
A movement is already on foot to
bring the condition of the people favor
ably to the notice of this government,
and an effort will be made to induce it to
open up negotiations with Spain.
There is little hope that the Cubans
will enjoy anything like independence
so long as Spain continues mistress of
the island. As part of this country,
however, they would possess every ad-
vantage and all the liberty enjoyed by
Americans. This is something which
they are more than willing to aid in
bringing about.
The subject is we'll worthy the atten-
ton of this government, and, in sup
port of the annexation suggestions.
even stronger arguments can be brought
forth than those which are commonly
used in behalf of the annexation to
this country of Canada. Our Faribault
friends should keep up the agitation.
