1T WILL Spread.

The Minnesota railway commission
ers, who have so well distinguished
themselves by their services in behalf
yOnd the limits of their own state.
Their recent order requiring the upper
berthS in sleeping cars to be kept closed
when unoccupied is being commented
upon by nearly every prominent paper
in the land, and commented upon with
marked favor.
There is every evidence that pressure
will thus be brought to bear upon other
state commissions to duplicate the order
of the Minnesota commissioners, and
that their example will spread all over
the country. And it should. The sleep
ing car monopoly, which charges more
than firSt-class hotel rates for less than
second class hotel accommodations, has
ever shown itself entirely needless of
the travelling public'S interests or rights.
1t has operated on the principle of
getting as much as possible for as little
as possible, and has done its arrogance
just about as it pleased. The evil which
the railroad commissioners have eradi-
Gated in this state is one which is a
fruitful source of annoyance to sleeping
car travellers everywhere, and if the ex-
ample of the Minnesota commissioners
results in its universal abolition the en-
tire travelling public should rise up and
call them blessed.
If there is anything else that requires
reforming the rest of the country may
look confidently toward the Northwest
for suggestions.

BOUNCE THE BOUNCING.

As the time for the opening of the car
nival draws near, it is seasOnable to say
word about what is technically known
as bouncing, and which, to the unini-
tiated, may be explained as the throwing
of men some fifteen or twenty feet in the
air by means of a stout canvas in the
hands of the carnival club members.
The practice has become decidedly a
nuisance. 1t never was a pleasant one,
except to the bouncerS. 1t has never
had an excuse for its existence, and,
finally, it is decidedly dangerous. Why
a carnival club should be permitted to
seize all unoffending byStander and cast
him skyward at the imminent risk of
his neck it is difficult to see. The
bouncers have already begun their little
pleaSantries, and they should take heed
in time. What they regard as harm
less piece of fun may yet have a tragic
result, and cast gloom over the carni-
val which all subsequent efforts at
3Ollity could not dissipate. 1t would be
well. indeed. if His Royal Highness, the
Ice King, wodld issue an imperial COM
mand to stop the pernicious practice at
once, and would call upon the police to
enforce his directions.

THEY WON'T CHALLENGE.

Though but a few days remain in
which a challenge can be made for the
Americas cup, won so long ago from
England by an American yacht, and now
in the possession Of the New York
Yacht club, no challenge has yet been
received for another race. The English
have done well in saving their time and
money.
Several very vigorous attempts to re-
cover the trophy, which have all failed,
have shown clearly enough that the cup
is on this side of the water to stay, and
that our English friends might as well
resign themselves to the inevitable.
Beaten in every form of sport in which
they have engaged with Americans as
opponents, they will do we'll to look
elsewhere for victory. But 1t is wise
man who knows when he is whipped,
and for their ready recognition of that
fact the English are entitled to every
credit.
But though through superior activity
and quicker intelligence Americans
have been enabled to excel their cous-
ins across the sea in every international
contest, they might well learn lesson
from them in their general devotion to
outdoor life and the different athletic
SpOrtS-a devotion which has made the
English what the Americans might so
easily become, the first nation, physi-
cally, in the world.

amend the original bill with provision
for the abolition of the tobacco fax. the
country Will approve the compromise as
made necessary by the political and
business situation. But such changes
as are discussed in the tobacco tax with

a New Method of TeIegraphing.

New York Sun.
A new mode of telegraphing was tried
by the military authorities of Belgium.
1t is combination of the electric and
optic telegraph. The optic station is
made up of a balloon held at any height
above the ground. Inside of the boat
fioated by the balloon, or on the bottom
of the boat, six electric lamps were at
tached, which were connected with an
electric battery on the ground by means
of wires running along the rope which
held the balloon captive. On the ground
there was a Morse telegraphic appa-
ratuS. An experienced operator spelled
the message, the characters of
which are registered on a common
Morse apparatus by shorter and longer
strokes upon running band of paper.
The shorter or longer the line is on the
paper the shorter or longer is the time
corresponding to it during which the
electric current is working. Instead of
marking time on paper. the apparatus
used at the. experiments made at Ant
werp keeps the six lamps attached to
the balloon blazing in bright light. ANY
man understanding the Morse alphabet
is able to read characters given by the
successive flashes of light of the electric
lamps. A number of messages were
thus spelled and correctly read by posts
at distances of several miles. The bal
loon was only some 800 feet above
ground. The higher it is allowed to as
cend, the greater is the distance at
which its characters can be seen and
understood.

Philadelphia Turns Herself
Loose in Celebrating the New
Year.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-The beat of
the drum, the toot of the brass horn and
the shouts of hilarious masqueraders
were heard in all quarters to-day, and
those familiar with the customary OBJ
SerVanceS which the ''New Year shoot
erS" have followed for many years saw
no change in the programme. The same
crowd of men. the same antics, the
same variety of cOstuming and the
same Jaded appearance, indicating all
all-nightS outing, were to be seen.
The air in the neighbOrhoOd of the
state house was filed with the strains
of music all day. The first band of
merry masqueraders appeared early in
the morning. Until late in the after
noon clowns, Indians, Oh foot and rid
ing horses, kings, queens, harlequins,
ladies, knights, dudes, hod-carriers and
the like passed up and down with their
funny antics and accompanying bands.
The people did not seem to tire of the
sights, and the sound of drums was
sure to throw them into a state of eX-
citement. 1t is safe to say that there
were more people on Chestnut street
and more attention given to the mas
queraders than for many years.

The Winston-Bogardus Shoot.

DAYTON, o., Jan. "A match for
purse of $500 between Capt. Bogardus
and j. l.. Winston begun here at g
o'clock, but was stopped by darkness
when only half shot. The conditions
were 100 tame pigeons each, five Bo-
gardus traps, thirty yards rise, eighty
yards boundary. BOgardus used seven
and half pound, twelve-gauge Scott
gun; Winston nine and a half pound,
ten-gauge Smith. w. l.. Col
Vile, of st. Lonis, was referee.
Both men had shot at fifty pigeons when
darkness stopped the match, Winston
killing fOrty-One, lost nine, and used
both barrels thirty times, and had one
pigeon drop outside the boundary.
BOgarduS killed thirty-eight, lost
twelve, and used both barrels twenty
nine times. Each shooter killed twelve
straight. Winston killed twenty with
the first barrel and twenty-one with the
second. BOgardus killed twenty-one
with the first and seventeen with the
second. Betting was decidedly in favor
of Capt. BOgardus, but this evening his
friends are more cautious.

BOUND TO BE THE ISSUE.
Portland Oregoniau Nnd Rep.)
Some of the Democratic papers are
urging congress to hurry up new tariff
law as the only possible means Of deliv-
erlng the Democratic party from Seri
Gus difficulty in the political struggle of
lSSS. Give us a revision" they say,
THAT will take the tariff question out of
politics."
But, no matter what congress may do
or may not do, the question will be
the principal one in the political
contest of the next year. 1t can't be
taken out of politics. Any act that may
be passed will be attacked as a partial.
One-sided and unfair thing, and if no
act is passed the question will remain
quite as perpleXing as now.
The most probable result will be total
disagreement. The Democratic house
will pass bill that the Republican SEN
ate Will not approve, and the question
will come straight before the people next
year whether the Republican or the
Democratic plan of dealing with the
subject shall be approved.
DEMOCRATS ON DECK.

The unanimity of view in the Demo-
cratic party in regard to candidates for

The Rage for Old Silver.

DOStOH fOSt.
The rage for old silver is growing to
be virulent, and is replacing the mad
excitement which existed with us some
years ago in the collection of ceramics.
There are difficulties in the way of this
last fad, for real antique silverware
always commands market, and the
value of ceramics is more or less fiuctu-
ating. a rare bit of old china or pot
terry is often picked up in the most out
of-the-way places, but rarer is it to find
a beautiful piece of silver overlooked by
the passing bric-a-brac hunter. Since it
has become a regular trade to collect i'm
European towns old silver to export to
America, bushels of apostle spoons with
a more or less authentic pedigree have
found their way across the water and
into American cabinets of curioS. The
mistake which the enthusiast in old
silver is apt to make is that want of dis
elimination between what is artistic in
design and that which is crude and ugly
i'll wOrkm anShip. While nothing can
be more beautiful than artistic Silver.
certainly nothing can be more unat-
tractive than that which is ineiegant
and coarse.

DAKOTA LIQUOR FIGHT.

1t was supposed that the liquor fight
was over in Dakota, but Judging from
the tone of the address issued by the
Liquor Dealers association and pub
lished in yesterdays GLOBE, the fight
is really just beginning. The local OPP
tion law was passed by the last terrific
rial legislature, and under its provisions
majority of the counties voted in favor
of prohibition. The liquor dealers as
sert that this result was obtained in OPP
position to an honest public sentiment
by the efforts of "a band of women who
were seeking notoriety, and by the
votes of those who were ignorant of the
merits of the case before Them" Be
lieving that the law is unconstitutional
and void, the liquor dealers of the terri
tory announce their purpose to carry it
before the courts and test its validity.
tits right that every citizen has to
test the validity of law before the
proper tribunals, and the liquor men of
exercising the right which pertains to
every American citizen. The views of
the GLOBE respecting the liquor ques-
tionS are known of all men. 1t has al
ways been opposed to sumptuary legis-
lation of every description. 1t is there
fore with the more freedom that we say
the address issued by the liquor dealers
is in bad taste when it says that the re-
suit of the recent election was in Oppo-
sition to an honest public sentiment. In
this country the ballot is the end of all
disputes. If the women were an over
match for the liquor dealers the best
plan would have been to own up to it in a
manly way without stopping to question
the motives of the women who took part
in the struggle. So far as appealing to
the courts is concerned, that is all right.
That is the proper thing to do. IT the
local option law is unconstitutional, as
it probably is, that fact ought to be es-
tabliShed and the law invalidated. But
if the liquor men want to command
public respect and enlist public SYM
pathy in their behalf, let them quit cast
ing aspersionS upon the women of the
territory.

Syllabus-An agent was authorized
by his principal to sell certain lands
upon the terms that equal payments
should be made in one, two and three
years. The written contract of sale
actually made by him varied from these
terms in certain particulars. He there
after notified his principal, who was
nonresident, of the sale, and pending
correspondence in respect to correcting
certain alleged defects in the title as
appearing of record, he forwarded
to the latter deed for execution
and also purchase money mortgage,
with notes drawn up ready for eXecu-
ton by the purchaser, showing on their
face the terms of the purchase as
actually agreed on, for his inspection.
These were all received and acknowl-
edged by the principal, who made no
objection to the modification in the
terms of payment, and promised to re-
turn them after they had been sub
mitted to his counsel. While he still
held the papers the purchaser notified
the agent that he would accept the title
as it was, and that he was ready and
willing to complete purchase. The
vender subsequently refused to make
the sale Or proceed further under the
contract. Held that the contract as
made was ratified by him, and that the
purchaser was entitled to specific per-
