DIR WEATHER BUREAU.

Steps should be taken without delay
to secure areversal of the order abolish
ing the weather indication bureau at
st. Paul. This country is entirely too
large to handle the necessary data upon
which weather indications are made out
from one central point.
AS to the value resulting from the
publicity given the indications there is
no question. The people have learned
to look for them and to study them in a
way to give them the utmost practical
value. To the mariner, the railroad
man and the farmer they have become
practically indispensable. In the North
west, where storms have habit of ris
ing with uncomfortable suddenness,
they are especially valuable.
Not only to the Northwest, but to the
country at large, which looks to the
Northwest for the first indications of
winter storms, is the continuance of
some reliable system of collecting
Northwestern weather data extremely
important. Such system cannot well
be maintained at any station east of st.
Paul.
The natural place for the location of
the weather bureau is in this city, and
here it should remain if there is any
virtue in common sense and its forcible
presentation to the proper officials. The
Minnesota congressman should take the
necessary Initiation steps at once.

saw, n. Y, tomorrow for the murder
of Frank Roy. Bob was counting Eva
Roy, Franks sister. Frank objected,
and in a quarrel which resulted Bob
shot and killed his Sweetheart'S brother.
An unusual scene was enacted in tho
governors room to-day in connection
with this case. Miss Roy arrived here
last evening, and this morning made an
lmpassionate appeal to commute Van
Brunts sentence to imprisonment for
life. The governor received her kindly,
listened to her appeal. went over the
points III the case and tried to show her
how, as he saw it, there was no ground
on which executive clemency could
be extended, and concluded by saving
tnat the law must take its course. Miss
hoy grew deathly pale at these words,
and her head dropped, and she fell in a
faint. A physician was summoned and
reStor&tlyeS applied. 1t was half an hour
before she recovered. Looking about her
III daZed sort of a way she cried:
Poor Bob, poor Bob" and sank back
upon the sofa in another SWoon. At
last, finding that she recovered con-
seriousness only to relapse into uncOn-
seriousness, it was decided to send her
TO a hospital, which was done. Her
eyes were CLASSY, her face hot and fe-
Verish and she seemed ObliviOuS to
everything going on around her. The
girl is completely broken down and
there is no end of pity for her. The be-
lief is general that she is still in love
with Van Brunt, though she denies it
and declares she hates him.

LOOkING BACK.

A little dingy restaurant, a lounge, some

A faded painting on the wall of ''Loye in

And now its grim interior some pleasant
musings bring.
This carved initial on the door was sculpt-

Again hear her liquid laugh, again hear
her sing.

and daughters fair,
A plump and portly matron (she always
loved TO dine,
And when raise my hat she bows with quite
a friendly air
I can't believe those naughty lips were ever
pressed to mine.
And vet l cannot help but think, when falls
the noisy rain

This staid and wealthy ladys mind may trav-

To that dingy little restaurant where we've

Alas for love platonic, for such a love was

And the only compensation in bordering on

Is, though its life was fitful, it left behind
no sting.

G. c. Graham was born in Augusta
county, Virginia in 1906. When three
months old his parents moved to Lin
coin county, Kentucky, removing in
1916 to BOonville, Warrick county, In
schools-there being no district schools
in those days-he was sent to Montgom
cry academy, at Montgomery, Ind,
where he completed his education. In
1886 he married Louisa III. Hargrave, at
Bonneville, Ind, and she still survives
with him. Mr.. Graham was elected to
the lower house of the Indiana legisla-
ture in 1885, remaining there until 1871.
The following year he was elected to
the state senate, which position he con-
tinued to occupy until 1916. At the
breaking out of the war with Mexico he
was appointed commiSSary of SubSist
ence in the Second Indiana infantry by
President Polk, which position he re-
signed the following year. He was
also member of the Indiana state con-

was appointed receiver of the land office
then located at Red Wing, by President
Pierce, and the same year he removed
hither. He occupied the position of re-
ceiver Of the land office for eight years.
and since his first arrival here his resi-
dence in this city has been continuous.
Mr.. Graham has been mayor of the city
one term, and since 1869 continuously
he has held and still holds the Office of
justice of the peace. Two years ago
Mr.. and Mrs. Graham celebrated their
golden wedding. Mrs. Graham, though
not as vigorous as her husband, is still

PLAIN STATEMENTS
Needed to Educate the Masses on
the Tariff.

To the Editor of the Globe.
To man of medium intelligence it
often seems that those who are now
discussing the question of tariff reduc-
ton or its reverse, pro and con, do, for
the most part, both write and speak
above the heads of the multitude. A
man of even bright and quick intel
ligence is very easily mystified and
often led astray when he is taken at
once into the midst of a subject unfa-
miliar to him. Astounding with unknown
terms, and tracing maZes of intricate
Thought to which he is unaccuStomed.
The results are disastrous to the neo-
phyte in many ways, but two OF
them will suffice for tine present
purpose. If the learner be myStified
he speedily gr Ows weary of the discus
SiOn-for the unframed mind is averSe
to Straining, and also to concentrating
its powers-and he gives the matter up
as riddle too hard to read, and falls
back upon the refuge of the indOlent
and the uncertain. He concludes to go
on in the old beaten track, and vote as
he always voted, or else as his preju-
dice or predictions may lead him. In
either case nothing is gained by arguing
the question in such way, to the lndl-
Now what is the remedy for this? Is
it not found in the simple eXpedient of
beginning at some one plan and guiding
principle, placing it squarely before
him, and letting 1t stand there in the
plain light of day long enough for him
to recognize it as an old, familiar guild
ing principle which he has used every
day of his live in dealing with common,
everyday business affairs?
For example: Show him, or simply
state to him. that the only true way to
deal with the burdens which the repub-
lie lays upon its members, is to equalize
them, so that all may share, and share
alike. If he has forty acres of land, let
him ask himself if he ought to be forced
to pay tax of 10 cents per acre, while
another who owns 500 acres of land is
asked to pay only cents per acre of

He will say that such thing is unjust.
Then he will have struck the keynote,
from which sWells the grand diapason
of tariff for revenue only. Equalize the
burdens that justice may be done.
Place on each side of the scales of JUS
tice an equal weight, that they may
poise equally. Let the day laborer, the
farmer and the mechanic get this priD-
ciple fixed solidly, immovably fixed in
their minds, and then teach them the
rudiments of how to achieve this great
end. From these all truthseekers may
be led to the more abstruse parts of the
subject (and not so very slowly either,

HINTS FOR THE TRAVELLER.
How Little Home System Will
Make Things Come Easier.

Good Housekeeping.
The journey beingover and the first
resting place reached, comes the I'M
packing Now it will be seen if brains
have been used in filling the trunks and
all possible contingencies fOreseen. We
will hope so, and that the tired traveller
will find all she needs without diving to
the bottom of even one trunk. Now the
housekeeping talent will come into
play; everything that is left out of the
trunk for future use will be put as
nearly as possibly in the same position
in the strange room that it would occupy
in the familiar bed chamber at home.
If handkerchiefS are usually kept in
the left hand corner of the upper bureau
drawer, in they go in the same place in
the hotel bureau. Thus no time is lost
in looking for things; we know by in
stinct where to go to find everything,
and our tired heads are saved worry
and trouble. But one caution on leav-
ing the temporary resting place; Don't
rely on feeling sure" that certain
drawer or closet has not been opened.
If the owner put nothing there, perhaps
the chambermaid did, and there is no
thought so comforting, when seated in
the train again as to reflect that every
spot has been examined before the
room was left, and that nothing re-
mains behind.

Commercial Travellers.

jewelers. Weekly.
Do you know that there are about So
600 commercial travellers in the United
States? Surprised to hear it; yes, most
people are when they are told of it; but
it's fact, nevertheless. You may also be
surprised to learn that each one of them
spends on an average $1,000 year. or
total OF II you a. add at to this TINS
$1,000, you have total expenditure by
commercial travellers of atleast 1920, 900
600 year. This is naturally spent in
all parts of the country; but the hotels
and railroads get the lions share of it.
During the last ten years there has been
a great change in the character of the
commercial traveller. The old Bohemian
type has almost entirely disappeared
from the road, and drinking men are
much more rarely met with there than
formerly,

THE DIRECT-TAX BILL.

The lower house of congress recov-
cred its senses long enough yesterday
to effect an adjournment until to-day.
This will carry the abominable df-
rect-tax bill over until next Wednes-
day, when, it is hoped, the congressman
will be so thoroughly ashamed of them
selves for the past weeks work that they
will not have heart to permit a renewal
of the filibuster game.
The Republicans overleaped them
selves yesterday in an effort to prevent
an adjournment. More than that they
showed their hand completely by drown
ing the voice of Mr.. RANDALL with
their clamor when that gentleman UNI
dertook to offer the resolution agreed
upon by the Democratic caucus which
specified the days that should be de-
voted to a discussion of the bill and
fixed the time when the vote should be
taken. Their action in this matter
places upon the Republics ans response
bility for the disgraceful filibustering
scenes which have occurred within the
last week.
that there is tremendously large coon
secreted in the woodpile of this bill.
The bill proposes to cancel the debt of
the states due and unpaid under the
direct war tax levied by congress in
1861 and to refund the amount paid by
the other states. To pay back this money
would be to create dangerous prece-
dent. Following this precedent, if it
should be established, every dollar that
has ever been paid into the treasury
would have to be refunded to its orig
inal owner. The passage of the bill
would be equivalent to lifting the flood
gates, and the claims that would flow in
would swamp the treasury before one
could say Jack Robinson. The same
lobbyists who are now attempting to
push this bill through congress
hold in their hand another bill
for refunding the cotton tax
levied during the war. The direct tax
and the cotton tax aggregate SS6,OO0,O 600.
Then there is the BLAIR bill ready to
gobble up another $S0,O0O,OOO. And
then, just think of it, these are only the
beginning. When the first drop in the
bucket is over $3.50, 100000, what will it
be when the vessel is full?
Another curious and somewhat sensa-
tional feature connected with this di-
rect tax bill, is that the claim agents
have been working it up for some time
and have succeeded in making contracts
with some of the state authorities, in
Guiding Minnesota, whereby the agents
will get fat commissions in case the bill
is passed. This stamps it at once as the
worst sort of jobbery.
1t seems that under all these circum-
stances the Democratic majority in the
lower house,ought to be able to get their
wits together long enough to ascertain

ARROGANT MR.. TYNDALL.

Prof. TYNDALL seems to possess, de-
veloped to an extraordinary degree, all
the arrogant conceit additionally at
tributed to EngliShmen of his class. He
could furnish no better evidence of it
than in his latest attack upon Mr.. GLAD
STONE, whom he accused of lack of
patriotism and wisdom. Prof. TYN-
DALL's scientific attainments may be
undoubted, but when he comes before a
disinterested people for comparison as
to patriotism and political wisdom, he
gives very graphic illustration of the
fable whose chief characters are the
frog and the OK.
Prof. TYNDALL, as rank and obsti-
nant supporter of monarchal ideas, can
see no good in any scheme which has
in view the peoples benefit. Particu-
larly, then, does the proposition to grant
Ireland the justice she demands and
deserves, excite his Tory wrath. But
whatever the occasion, he simply makes
himself ridiculous in attacking Mr..

SERVANTS TRAINING SCHOOL.

We are glad to see that numerous en-
ergetic st. Paul women have taken so
kindly to suggestion made in a recent
issue of the GLOBE regarding the adj
visibility of establishing training
school for domestics that they have
taken the preliminary steps toward or
ganizing school of that nature.
Their project goes even further than
the suggestion of the GLOBE in that it
contemplateS extending the advantages
of the school to mistresses as well as
servants, and also to those young
women who, yet unmarried, are pros
pective employers of domestic assist
ance. This modification of the sugges-
ton is a wise one. 1t is lamentable
fact that the modern girl is, in the ma
iority of cases, absolutely ignorant of
household work. She regards it as be-
meath her, and consequently becomes
very often the prey of her servants, who
have no respect for mistress ignorant
of the domestic details which she ex-
poets them to carry out.
The modern young woman doesn't
stop to think that the man who is the
most successful employer is the one
who knows the details of his business
as well as any of his men, even though
he confines his personal labors to super
intending the work of. others, and that
the same reasoning holds true with re-
gard to the woman who is called upon
to superintend the affairs of a house
hold.
There should be professors Of domes-
tic, as well as of political, economy, and
the former are, if anything, even more
valuable to society at large than, the
latter. So that it is very commenda-
BILE idea to enlarge the scope Of the
school sufficiently to include others be-
sides servants. That in the training of
domestics it has broad field before it,
every housekeeper who has wrestled
with the servant-girl problem will adj
nit.
Such schools have been made success
full and self-supporting in other cities.
and there is no reason why one bounded
upon the lines laid down by the enter
prising women having the matter in
charge should not be made equally sue
cessful here. The movement deserves
the cordial support of every employer OF
domestic labor in the city.

The persuasive power of public plum
der is great and we do not suppose that
a minority can hold out long enough to
prevent this contemplated steal, and
unless they can see their way clear to
success it is doubtful whether longer
resistance would be justified. But the
Democrats of the house ought to stand
together in this matter. They ought to
unite in an effort that would be effective
to prevent the success of the Republican
raid on the treasury. They could not
do anything that the country would

NO USE FOR BANKS
And Lost $500 Because He
Wouldn't PatrOuize Them.

CINCINNATI, April IA bold high
way robbery was committed night be-
fore last about six miles from Lawrence.
n. A. Elliott, wealthy, but eccen-
trio old farmer, who, since the
bank failure at Lawrenceburg, has
been known to carry large sums OF
money about his person, was knocked
down within few rods of his home and
robbed of 81 800. The story as related by
Elliott is that it was near 10 O'Clock in
the evening. He was riding his favorite
horse and when he reached the lane
which leads from the public road to his
house, he got OFF the animal to lower the
bars, when he was struck a terrible
blow over the head with a club and
felled to the ground. When he re-
covered his senses he found his pockets
turned inside out and $500 gone.
Early yesterday morning he came to
town and started the officers on tho
search. He can give 10 description of
the thieves. He offers $500 reward for
their arrest and conviction. or the res
cOyery of the money.

BECKER COUNTY DEMOCRATS
Inclined to Join Hands for Vic
tory This Fall.

Special to the Globe.
DETROIT, Mimi, April 12.-Arrange-
ments are being made TO call a Demo-
cratic county convention in Becker
county to elect two delegates to the
state convention, which meets in St.
Paul May II for the purpose of electing
delegates to the Democratic national
convention to be held in st. Louis June
5 to nominate candidates for the offices
OF president and vice president of the
United States. Things in this county,
so far as Democratic organizations are
concerned, have heretofore gone largely
by default, nothing having been done
to keep members of the party in line,
and for years no party ticket has been
nominated at any general election, al
though out of 1878 votes cast in the
presidential election in 1884 there were
353 votes for Cleveland, and in 1896
AmeS has 4S4 votes to 1,070 for Nc Gill,
a gain of 131 in two years. There was
no Democratic organization here to
speak of in 1856, and nothing of any ac-
count was done in the county for the
Democratic state ticket, and those who
voted it did so without urging from any
one. 1t is estimated by those who think
they know that there are at least 600
Democratic votes in this county, but as
nothing has been done for years to call
them out or ascertain their number,
there might be still more of them found
that even this. While r. E. Frahee has
