THE BALTIMORE REFORM.

The GLOBE extends congratulations
to the Democracy of Baltimore on their
ability to reform themselves. The
triumph of the reform element over the
plug ugly crowd in the late Democratic
convention in Baltimore is really one of
the most refreshing evidences of po-
litical publication in modern times. 1t
had come to pass that Baltimore poll
ties was a reproach to the name and
cause of Democracy. The plug ugly
methods originated by the Wings and
perpetuated 10y the Democrats were too
diSgraceful to be tolerated, and yet the
machine had obtained such a strong
grip upon its municipal affairs that
Baltimore seemed to be utterly help
less to relieve herself. BY heroic
effort on the part of her better class of
citizens. the reform has at last been
accomplished, and now that the Balti-
more Democracy have freed themselves
from the machine grip, we hope to see
the voters of Baltimore give the ticket
nominated Wednesday such rousing
majority, that plug-uglyism will never
show its ahead again in the Queenly
city. We would now like to see the
Republicans of Minnesota initiate the
example of the Baltimore Democrats
by reforming themselves in similar
manner.

MILLER's MEAT.

1t is nearly time for the October
meeting of the supreme court, and the
presidential mind is trying to get itself
together in the matter of filling the va.
cancy on the beach. There is appar-
rently little doubt that Indiana will be
required to furnish the man. There is
no occasion now to harmonic Secretary
NOBLE, as TANNER is out. MILLER,
the old law partner, no doubt has the
warmest corner in the HARRISON heart.
but Judge WOODS has claims that are
hard to overlook. 1t will be remem-
bered that he was so susceptible to high
inspiration that he last winter reversed
his instructions to the grand jury when
there was danger to the operators in the
''blocks of fiye." He has exhibited a
versatile and convenient mind. and is
clearly entitled to his reward. Still, it
is not insisted that the president will
allow obligations to the party to control
in the choice of supreme court judge.
There may be family or personal ties.

SAMSON TANNER.

Having come to the conclusion that
the pen is mightier than the tongue,
Corporal TANNER has taken to serib-
bling as means of wreaking vengeance
on the administration. His letter to
Private DALZELL is as much of liter
airy curiosity as it is political mons
frosty, and if any doubts existed as TO
the duty of the president to remove him
from Office, this letter clears up the affair.
1t is a case of fool being prayed in his
own mortar, and the wonder is that the
president could have been deceived in
the first place into appointing. as SUI
LovENGooD would express it, "Such a
nat'rel born burned fOol'' to an office that
required the highest order of ability.
Still this foolish letter of TANNERS re-
veals some inside workings of the in
terror department that are rather dis
ereditable to the administration. 1t
exposes the hypocrisy which prevails
in administration circles, and its insin-
cerity and double-dealing with the old
soldiers. In airing his grievances in
confidence to his friend DALZEII., with
the postscript addition authorizing its
publication, Corporal TANNER makes
it clear that the Republican party never
had any intention of fulfilling its prom
iSes to the veterans, and because the
party leaders could not make cat's-paw
OF him to cover up their dirty tracks. he

UNCLE JERRY's HOBBY.

Uncle JERRY RUsK has returned
from his visit TO the points in Kansas
where the government is carrying on
its experiment in making sugar from
the sorghum cane. He has made no
official report, but in his interview with
the papers he talks quite freely about
his impressions. He expresses himself
pleased and hopeful, but not able to
speak with absolute certainty until the
chemists have made their reports.
Good sugar is made. The possibility OF
that has been known for many years.
but there are many contingencies to be
passed before it can be declared sue
cess as an industry. There is enough
of hopefulness in the situation to array
Kansas in opposition to the Republican
scheme to put sugar down in the small
figures on the tariff list. But the ex-
periments do not seem to have reached
the stage where private capital and en-
terprise show any eagerness to relieve
the government.

CRUsADEAGAINsr GAMBLERS
Chicago Women Will Beard the
Tiger i'm the State Courts.

CHICAGO, Sept. GA number of
prominent ladies of this city have
formed an association and have hired
lawyer to prosecute the gamblers Of
the city under the state law. The
work was begun to-day with the arrest
of John Morris. the proprietor of
gambling house on Clark street. The
attorney fer the ladies says that there
is every reason to believe that the
gamblers will very soon become fright
ened. The state law against gamb-
ling is very severe. 1t provides
that a person convicted the first
time of the running of a gambling house
or renting property to be occupied by
gambling house shall be fined 500, and
that on second conviction the fine shall
not be less than $500 and the additional
penalty of six months in the county
iail. and on the third conviction that the
penalty shall be $500 fine and one year
in the peuitentiary. The ladies, whose
names. except that of Mrs. Van Ardet,
are not made public, intend to push the
cases to the full extent of the law. They
are taking steps to convict, not only the
gamblers themselves. but also the men
who own the buildings where gambling
houses are run.

THE CAPITAL FIGHT.

If North Dakota has time to look
away from its own campaign amuse-
ments, it will observe that it missed
any amount of fun over the location of
the capital. such as the South is now
enjoying. 1t may have compensatlons
in the injections into the arena Dy such
veterans as EDWARDS, PLUMAfER, ORD
WAY and others, but If it had only a
capital fight too, much less fuel would
have been needed in that country this
winter. Then, in addition to the fun,
the South has had more instruction in
geography and the abstruse financial
problems than, in the ordinary way
could be had in decades. Those
schemes called capital investment COM
-panies are marvels of uniqueness, and,
whatever their effect upon the location
of the seat of government, will, no
doubt, enrich those who stand in the
proper attitude toward them.

WASHINGTON, Sept. &c. - Commits
siOner Tanner is indignant about the
publication of his letter to Private Dali
zell. He is not prepared to state
whether the letter had been made pub
lie by Private Dalzell Intentionally or
whether DalZell had allowed it to slip
out through some one who had access to
his correspondence. This evening Com
missioner Tanner telegraphed Private
DalZell to know whether that letter had
been stolen or had reached the public
in some other manner. To reporter
he made the following statement Re-
speeding the re-rating of First Deputy
Commissioner Smith:
The renting cases that came before me
were in batch. Among them was that Of
Deputy Commissioner Smith. His case was
not made special. There were nine other
cases where the disabilities were about of the
same character, namely, the loss of an arm
or leg. 1t was May last when these cases
came before me. There were photographs or
each subject, including some very bad cases.
While the question of rerating these
pensioners was under discussion there
were present in my Office Gen Lew Wallace,
Gen. Barnum, of New York, and more than
& dozen newspaper men. There was not the
slightest criticism as to the justice OF rerat-
lag these pensioners 1t was generally in
dorsed by the press, including papers which

The commissioner declined to discuss
the contents of his letter to DalZell or
those of the report of the commission
appointed by Secretary Noble to H.
vestigate the workings of the pension
office which have not yet been made
public. A postal card received here to-
night from Private Dalzell says that the

Nurse Mary Donnelly was stabbed by
Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton, has returned
to her home in this city. and has with
her little Beatrice, the baby made
famous through revelations brought to
light during the trial of Mr.. Hamilton.
Mrs. Rupp says Mr.. Hamilton desires
her TO take care of the child until he
can otherwise arrange for it. Mrs.
Rupp is dissatisfied with the amount of
money paid her by Mr.. Hamilton. She
says that before leaving Atlantic
City MIR. Hamilton told her that ''if she
needed money to address him through
his New York lawer." She wrote to
him asking for $1,000. She thought this
a reasonable request. as she had been
put to a great deal of trouble through
out the scandalous affair at her cottage,
and her boarding house business had
been entirely broken up. In reply to
her letter she has received check for
$3.50. which insignificant amount she
looks upon as an insult. She will care
for the baby. however, until Mr.. Hamil-
ton decides what to do with it. Mrs.
Rupp says that Mary Donnelly, the
nurse, has accepted an offer of s75
week to appear at one-ef the New York
dime museums.
