DIVIDING THE sPoILs.

Since the senate adjourned the politi-
clans have been busy figuring on the
distribution of the plumber that has
been made by the administration up to
date. They find that only twenty of
the thirty-eight states got slices of the
pie. Of these, New York got the big
gest pile, while Ohio comes in at the
tail end. Indiana and Pennsylvania
stand next to New York in the list.
Massachusetts, and Wisconsin fare mod
erately well, while Minnesota averages
up by being accredited with cabinet
appointment and minister to the
Netherlands. Iowa, Kansas, Illinois,
and most of the other stalwart Republic
an states will have to get the principal
part of their pickings from the few
small plums that remain in the basket.

PURCHASING BONDS.

1t is in the nature of an agreeable
surprise to the country, but none the
less agreeable because it is surprise,
that Secretary WINDOW has expressed
his determination not to buy any gov
eminent bonds at extortionate prices.
His refusal to accept large offering OF
AZ per cent bonds few days ago, be-
cause they were offered at prices vary
ing from a to 81 per cent more than
the market quotations, was itself indie
alive of the wise policy that he will
pursue in regard to bond buying. The
country had reason to believe that the
Wall street money sharks were pecu-
liarly gratified by Mr.. WINDOWS ap-
pointment as secretary Of the treasury,
and there was general apprehension
that one of the opportunities for raid
ing the treasury would be in the pur-
chase of government bonds. Now that
Mr.. WINDOW has been prompt to re-
lieve the country of this apprehension,
the GLOBE takes occasi on to commend
his wise conduct, and to further eX-
press the hope that he will still more
definitely outline his policy IN this re-
spect. There is a big surplus in the
treasury which had just as well be ap-
piled to liquidating the public debt,
provided the bonds can be purchased at
their real value.

promising to explain all about the mys-
teries of it the following evening. The
tribune OF Saturday also announced
that that evening this cabinet mys-
terry" would be fully explained and ex-
posed. Why did he not do it? Could he
nave forgotten his promise, when q let.
ter handed him that evening demanded
1t in proof of his previous statements.
and the writer of that letter was one OF
the committee present? Was it for want
OF time? Then why did he fill in the
evening by duplicating so many stereo-
typed tests of previous exhibitions?
MI. Bishop very naturally resents
being called fraud, and states no one
has any right to say it of him until 10
Is proved. With equal justice, he has
no right to call spiritualism fraud, un.
less he can prove it. So far, he has
proved nothing, unless it be the fact
that by being mind-reader he thereby
gains secret clue to the tricks and
Jugglery of pretended mediums. He
exhibits the tricks of the cabinet, but,
regardless of advertisements and prom.
Uses, leaves it all in mystery. Jugglers
IN museums do the same, and do NOT
pretend to be mediums or mind-readers.
Does MIR. Bishop care to be classed with
mediums or Jugglers by keeping the
secret?
LII Mr. Bishop has right to resent
what he calls an insult, and demand an
apology of one who asks an honest
question, viz: ''If he can see beneath
the bandage over his eyes," the people
of the Twin Cities have right to de-
mand the fraud exposed" and fully
explained or they will be very liable
to come to the conclusion that Mr..
Bishop is either spiritual medium, OF,
like many others, only mind-reader
after all, who explains nothing on nun
dane or supernatural principles, and
whose supernatural vision is about as
clear as the color of the rainbow to
blind man who never saw the light of
day.
He states spiritualists say he is
medium, but he has not yet proved that
he is not one. He initiates the trick
ster,b those promised explanations on
mundane principles" he has so far
failed to give. To brand spiritualism as
a fraud, Mr.. Bishop betrays some of his
friends and former associates. Money
in the form of a challenge shrewdly
given is powerful bulldozer; while
men are not usually beaten at their own
games. and tricks unexplained and ac-
companied with sarcastic innuendoes
are not proof or argument. Yours truly,

Oriental does everything slowly and
with much ceremony, and this an
nouncement of the rivers rise, which
seems very simple matter, is a most
serious affair.
The day before the crier begins his
talk he goes through the streets accom-
panied by boy, whose part it is to act
as chorus, and to sing the response at
the proper moment. The crier sings:

Before the crier proceeds to gives the
information so much desired, he intoneS
with the boy lengthy chant, in which
he praises God, imploring blessings OH
the Prophet and all believers, and on
the master of the house and all his chill
dren. Not until all this has been care
fully gone through does he proceed to
say the river has risen so many inches.

Heroic Treatment.
Boston Post

Boston Post.
The wife of young man who has a
little house of his own in the suburbs.
but whose salary is very small, fell i'll
and was unable to leave her room for
several months. The doctor prescribed
a great many remedies-tonics, and
beverages such as ApOllinariS water and
champagne-whlch were far beyond the
young husbands means. But he was
bound that his wife should have every
thing the doctor ordered, and his purse
having been emptied, he stole out one
evening with the parlor clock
under his arm and returned with
five-dollar bill. A large easy chair
was expended few days later for
few bottles of port wine; and, to cut a
long story short, by the time the young
woman was able to go down stairs, the
rooms on the first floor had been
stripped of their contents to pay the
grocer and the apothecary.
1t must have been bitter moment
for the poor young wife when she first
saw what havoc had been wrought in
her drawing room; and dare say that
for few minutes at least her good man
felt that he had been too clever by half
1t must be acknowledged, however, that
he acted pretty wisely; health is more
important than furniture, and in time
the household goods will be replaced.
The plan which this enterprising fell
low pursued was surely better than
helping himself out of his masters
cash-box, and perhaps it was preferable
to the ordinary course of running in
debt; certainly it was more original.
