Monument to Marmaduke.

thS " LIVING CPuollS
OLD SUBSCRIBER, Garland, Mo.
Those who opposed the proposed
appropriation by the Missouri Leg
islature in its recent session of So
GOO to raise a monument to Marina
duke justified their opposition on
the ground that the measure was
"undemocratic." And yet the State
could not well have gone amiss in
thus recognizing Marmaduke's
high character and noble worth.
He was, indeed, as good a Cover
nor as this or any other State ever
had-honest, sensible, straightfor-
ward and true to his convictions.
While the State of Illinois raises a
splendid monument to John A.
Logan the people of Missouri need
not be backward about honoring
the memory of so splendid a citizen
as John Sappington Marmaduke.
The Illinois Legislature has appro-
priated $4,000 with which to build
a magnificent monument to Logan
on the State House grounds in
Springfield.
Yes, and the body of ex-Gov. J.
S. Marmaduke in inferred IN ground
which belongs to the State, and ii
is meet and proper for the State to
erect a monument, as other parties
have no right to intrude.
The IoaUa State Register hits the
nail squarely on the head in the
following item. cit is a pleasure
to The Register to recommend an
article of merit, and this is the case
with Chamberlain Collie, Cholera

family should have a bottle of this
sterling remedy at all times at theil
homes, as it may be necessary wher
least expected. Messrs. Chamber.

to the virtue Of the life saving pre-.
paration, from nearly all the states
in the Union, and many instances
are given where death has beer

SIBERIAN EXILES.

In some of the Eastern states meet
ings are being held TO protest against
the barbarous and cruel policy of Rus
sia in sending its political erraties to
Siberia. The recent accounts in the
thrilling narratives of GEORGE KEN
NAN of the atrocities of the system have
given impulse to the humane dictates
that find vent in protest The horrors
of the most frightfu hell that magma
ton has conceived are not without sug-
gestion in the treatment Of these exileS
who have Eentured to think liberal
thoughts audiblY. Absoiutism. with its
train of abuses, has characterized that
government, and been increasing in in
tensity since the rule of Gar PETER.
200 years ago. 1t is asserted that never
have there been more victims of suS-
picion and liberal tendencies sent to
Siberia than now, and fewer than ever

INHERITED CENsURE.

The coroner's jury who sat in inquest
yesterday on the bodies of the victims
of the Sibley street fire found fault,
and apparently without just cause, with
the building inspector. The GLOBE is
never disposed to shield any official
from just criticism. yet we do not think
rebuke should be administered where it
isnot deserved. The law which requires
the construction of fire escapes does
not apply to two-story buildings, and
consequently the building inspector had
no jurisdiction in this instance. 1t may
be a faulty policy on the part of the city
to permit buildings that are only fire
traps to stand in the business district:
yet nearly every street is dotted with
just such ramshackle concerns, and if
the building inspector proceeds to re-
move one he will have to tear them all
down. 1t may be true, as is commended
by some, that there can be no such a
thing as an absolutely fire-proof
building. yet they can be made
so secure against fire that there
is absolutely no danger except in the
case of a general couf1agratien such as
swept over Lynn and Boston recently {;
and these general confagratIons could
not occur unless these fre-trap build
ings were sandwiched in between the
better class of buildings. The princi-
pal buildings that have been erected in
St. Paul during the last three years
have certainly tended to reduce the fire
danger TO the minimum, and thus in a
measure the necessity of a strict en-
forcement Of the fire escape law has
been avoided. The building inspector
must be allowed some discretion in the
performance of his duties, and while he
is expected TO enforce all measures that
will secure reasonable security to life
and property, it is not Just that he should
be blamed for calamities over which he
had no control and which he could not
have prevented. In the feyerish state
of the public mind over the Minneapo-
lis disaster, there is a general DISPOSE
ton to saddle responsibility on some
one, without any definite idea Oh the
part of anybody as TO who IS RESPONSE

= GLASGOW, Dec. 2.-Mr. Balfour, the
chief secretary for ireland. in his
speech here to-day set forth the ideas of
the government on the subject of pro-
posed Irish college. He proposed that
government aid shall be given to a
Catholic college in which the regular
curriculum shall be giyen-lncluding
the classics and mathematics; but
that the government shall not endow
any institution for teaching theology in
Ireland. Mr.. Balfour declared. how
ever, that he would never advise his
colleagues in the ministry to embark
upon this arduous enterprise unless the
following absolutely necessary condi-
tons are fulfilled:
First, that the boon should be cordially ae-
cepted by the intended recipients-the Irish
people; second. that the offer shall not be
used as political weapon by one party in
parliament against its opponents: third, that
EngliShnien, Seotshmen aud Irishmen shall
all concur in offering this boon.
He confessed that he saw no likeli-
hood that it would be accepted with
these conditions. 1t was never any part
of his intention that the government
should endow Catholic theological col
lege. His only purpose had been to
equip the necessary chairs for the study
of literature, science, medicine ami law.
He denied that founding complete
university would be fatal to higher edu-
cationi n Ireland, because it would re-
move the competition between Catholics
and ProteStantS.

return. This system of exile, with the
crueltieS attendant upon the manner of
enforcing it, is one of the monStrositles
of the age. The humane sentiment OF
this and other countries may prop
erly indicate to the Russian rule
its protest at these atrocities, and the
fact that they are understood, but this
will not have any effect. Tho Russian
tyranny would even have its rigorS eX-
aggerated. as a terror to the revolution

on the subject by the government OF this

Buffalo Elevator Men Object to
Charges Made by Zenith Ciui-

BUFFALO. n. Y, Dec. 2.-Some
time ago the Duluth elevator people
sent experts here to investigate the
charge that num- erous shortages ex-
listed at some of the elevators. On the
strenghth of the experts report circu-
lar ha S been issued by the Duluth eie-
vator people charging that scales i'll
different elevators here were badly out
of order. and that weighing on some of
them was mere gueSswork. A reporter
visited the elevators this morning to
learn the views of the elevator people
on the charges. At the Bennett ele
vator S. Brown said that the circular
was scandal gotten up for the
benefit of the Western cisy ele-
yator owners. The scales here are
under the supervision of JuniuS Smith,
official weighmaSter of the Merchants
Exchangey and the weighing was done
under charge OF one of his men. MIR.
Smith was found and said he was not
prepared to make any statement at
present, hut he would make one over
his signature and give it out soon. He
asserted positively, however, that the
Buffalo elevators are all right. Super
intendent Dodge, of the Frontier eleva-
tor, cited cases where at his elevator the
cargoes ran as much as 1.500 bushels
over, but this, he said, was on Chicago
cargoes. The scales are tested regular
ly and are correct. Manager Cannon,
of the Bennett elevator, stated that
shortages on Duluth eargoes came down
500 bushels or more with terrible regu-
larity. The circular asserts that the
shortages ceased after the experts in
vestigatien and the fixing of the scales,
but only last week the propeller Mis-
soula. from Duluth, showed a shortage
of close on 200 bushels. The elevator
men agree in stating that the SHORTAGES
are due to the careless weighing at the

where young loot silent, the young
mans bed was empty and he was gone,
but his clothing was there. both the
suits he kept in the building. his hat.
shoes, stockings. etc. His watch and
his revolver. which was cooked, lay
on the floor near the bed. In his cloth
ing was his money. also his keys,
and all other personal effects. A search
of the premises disclosed the fact that
the money safe was shut. and later the
contents were found intact. The other
safe. of valuable packages, was opened.
The packages of tickets, or vouchers,
valuelesS save to the owner, were
torn open and lay upon the
floor. Further search discovered
the loss of two packages from
the firm of Fox Bros. & Co. of Cincin-
cinnati. diamond brokers. Nothing else
is missing, so far as Mr.. Stanton, the
agent, can discover. Many theories are
life as to the cause of TOOt's disappear
anee. and thus far all search has failed
to discover any clew to him. Mr..
Stanton. the express agent. and other
friends have not the slightest doubt of
his integrity, as they fear foul play.
