THE PIG PUZZLE.

1t is said that President HARRISON
amuses himself during his leisure mo-
mentS with the pig puzzle. 1t amused
him at first because it was so different
from the official puzzle that had been
veXing him. In the first place, the OBJ
stinate little pigs were in clover and
proposed to stay there, while the herd
Of office-seeking swine that have been
bothering him were on the outside of
the clover patch and proposed to break
in. His trouble with the real puzzle
was to keep the pigs out, while with the
toy puzzle he found amusement in
trying to get them into the pen. He
also called the attention of his private
secretary to the fact that when he got
three of the marbles inside of the box
they would insist on rolling out while
he was attempting to corner the fourth
one. sit isn't that way with our office
seekers, is it, ELIJAH?" he asked.
And yet it looks as if between them
Gen. HARRISON and Mr.. BLAINE are
likely to make pig puzzle of the official
patronage. Gen. SCHUYLER refuses TO
serve as assistant secretary of state
under Mr.. BLAINE, while WHTTELAw

appreciated. A new train will be put
on, leaving for jamestown at p. M,

A GLORIOUS VICTORY.

The final passage of the Oil inspection
bill yesterday, if not the most lmpor-
tant, is certainly one of the most dis
tinct. reforms that has ever been accom-
plished in this state. The office of Oil
inspector was one of those succulent
official paps that the politicians hated
to let go; and, consequently, the
strongest influences and combinations
were always welded in opposition to
any change in the law that proposed to
diminish the quantity of juice that was
in the Office. For the last three legisla-
lures the GLOBE has been making an
earnest and persistent demand for re-
form in oil inspection which would
make the Office salaried one, and that
would convert the revenues into the
state treasury. At each session of the
legislature powerful opposition to the
proposed reform was organized by the
incumbentS of the office, and twice they
succeeded in defeating it. But this
time the victory is ours and the peoples.
By keeping the matter before the pub
lie the people were educated to a knowl-
edge of the enormitieS of the abuse,
and popular sentiment aroused in
favor of its abolition, until a legislature
was elected that respected the popular
will. The GLOBE has been actuated
solely by unselfish motives in this mat
ter. We made the fight On principle
alone, and have made it almost
singIe-handed, for our Republican
contemporaries either stood back or
took sides against us. 1t is natural,
therefore, that we should experience a
feeling of pride in the great reform vic
tory that was won in the legislature
yesterday. But in indulging this feel
ing of eXultation we are not unmindful
of the services of the members of the
legislature who stood up so bravely in
defense of principle. They are en-
titled to wear the laurel wreaths with
which an appreciative constituency are
ready to crown them. The honor of
the victory is theirs, and they shall
have it.

DECIDEDLY UNEASY,
Paris Financial Circles Pervaded
by Panicky Feeling.

PARIS, March ia pessimist feel
ing prevails regarding the position of
the credit houses, especially of the
Banque de Paris, which is much dis
cussed. 1t is reported that the bank is
deeply involved in the copper troubles,
and not expected to pay a dividend for
the past year. Moreover, it is stated
that the directors of the concern an
nouneed at the bankers meeting last
evening that they were unable to sub
scribe for the relief of the Domptoir
d'Escompte, having themselves lent
1000 francs on copper warrants. The
decline of Soeiete des MetauX shares is
attributed to report that the concern
had definitely suspended payment and
operations. Nevertheless there was a
large amount of buying and repurehas-
ing in the copper mine market to-day,
the demand for Rio Tintos being es-
pecially strong.

ECoNOMY's ERA.

Really, we are becoming quite infatu-
ated with this legislature. we are so
agreeably disappointed by its reform
tendencies that we find difficulty in
placing limit upon our expressions of
appreciation. From the rush that was
made upon the state treasury in the be-
ginning of the session, in the shape of
demands for appropriations, and argu-
ing from the precedents established by
former legislatures, we were prepared
for career of legislative extravaganza
unparalleled in the history of the state.
But, contrary to all expectations, the
legislature called sudden halt and
applied the brakes: and if the gait it is
now jogging along is indicative of what
the end will be, it will make for itself
reputation to be proud of.
The passage of the Oil inspection bill
yesterday is not the only evidence that
the legislature is fairly started on the
reform route. The report OF the joint
finance committee recommending public
appropriations is the most encouraging
sign that an era of retrenchment has set
in. The appropriation bill reduces the
amount asked for over one million of
dollars, and yet in the opinion of
the the two committees the reduced
amount is ample for all necessary pur-
poses. This is precisely the position
the GLOBE has taken all along, and the
report of the joint committee is COM
plete vindication and most substantial
Endorsement of our course. Iu this. as
in everything else of public nature,
we are actuated by the simple desire to
promote the general welfare and to pro-
tect the taxpayers, and we cannot re-
frain from expressing our qualification
that the legislature is being Influenced
by the same worthy motives.
1t is true the appropriation bill rec
commended by the joint finance COM
mittee of the two legislative branches
has not yet been adopted. Efforts, and
very strong efforts, will be made to
amend it so as to swell the amounts of
appropriations. Local interests will
most likely combine, and system of
log-rolling be inaugurated TO override
the committees recommendations. Yet
we do not believe the combination can
oC uiduO oGioiiS CHouSu W OfCi I'LL wv
the reform spirit that seems to have
taken hold upon the legislature. The
outside pressure in favor of economy
and retrenchment is too great to admit
of any tomfoolery inside of the leg
islative halls. Popular interest in
the financial condition of the state
is too wide awake for members to cover
up their records on appropriation bills.
Everything must be hewed to the line,
and the line must be straight. All the
indications are that this legislature pos
sesseS the intelligence to ascertain the
trend of popular sentiment and the firm
ness to execute the public will. There
fore, we take it that the appropriations
passed by this legislature will be sub
stantially as recommended by the joint
finance committee.

Iation.
Special to the Globe
MADISON, Wis, March 19.-There was
an episode in the senate this morning
not down on the calendar. In the course
of the routine work several appropria-
ton bills came up, among others one,
appropriating $3.50 to the chaplain and
appropriating sS46 to Andrew E. Elmore
to pay his expenses incurred in contests
ing the seat of Assemblyman Gray.
When these were read Senator Fribe,
representing the Milwaukee Labor
party, rose in his seat and pronounced
them steals. The second declaration of
the Milwaukee man brought Senator
Kennedy to his feet, and he said that il
this bill was a steal then every gentle
man on the floor except Fribe was a
thief, and he thought there was more
than one honest man in the senate.
Other senators put in a word and said
that the Milwaukee man had voted in
favor of several similar bills. Fribe was
finally offered the alternative of retract-
ing or coming before the bar Of
the house for reprimand. He
made an attempt to explain, during
which he was several times called to
order, but he did not apologize in the
end. Both bills in controversy went
through. The assembly sustained Gov.
Hoard's veto of the bill granting the
Centralia Pulp and Water Power COM
pany the privilege of condemnation of
certain private property. The senate
passed bill requiring county boards to
levy tax of two-ffths of mill for the
support of INDECENT soldiers. Assembly
bills were colcurred in creating the
town of Harrison, in Jackson county:
detaching certain territory from the
town of Millston, in Jackson county,
and attaching the same to the town of
Knapp. The assembly passed bills
making it a misdemeanor to beat hotels
and boarding housekeepers, and max
ing county treasurers ineligible for more
than two consecutive terms. The bill
for the semi-annual payment Of taxes
was killed. Considerable discussion
was had over the bill providing punish
ment for enticing women of previous
chaste character into life of shame.
An amendment to strike out the previ-
Gus chaste character clause was
adopted, and the bill was ordered to it's
third reading. The senate adopted a
resolution to adjourn sine die April IL.

CATHOLICISM IN AMERICA.
Addresses at a Dinner to the
American Pilgrims in Rome.


American Pilgrims in Rome.
ROME, March 19.-The American col
lege gave grand dinner this evening
in honor of the leaders of the American
pilgrims. Many prelates were present.
Bishop Keane, the president of the new
Catholic university at Washington,
spoke in English, Latin and French.
His remarks were much applauded.
The pOpe's vicar, Cardinal Parocchi,
delivered powerful Latin ora
ton on behalf of the pope.
He expressed the pope's adj
miratiOn for American Institutions,
and spoke of the deep interest taken by
his holiness in the birth of the Wash
ington university, which he regarded as
one of the chief glories of his pontif-
cate. Cardinal Schiaffino spoke in
Italian. He sketehed the work of the
Catholic church in establishing univer-
sites in all ages and in all countries
and eulogized the Washington univer-
sitv as the browning work of Christian
education-a work that was destined
to display America to the world as
living disqualification of perfect accord
between the highest learning and
the Catholic faith. Mgr. Jacobini
traced Americas wonderful progress
and paid tribute to the priests
who planted the SEEDS of
the Catholic religion there and fostered
its advancement. He referred to the
treasures of faith poured forth by Cath
Ollie Ireland, and contrasted the strong
and vigorous life of Americas institu-
tions and people, and of the Catholic
church in America, with the sadly pain
full situation of the people and church
in the old world Rector Pacnuet Of
congratulations on the birth of sister

THE ST. PAUL & NEW ULM.
A New Road to Run Through a
Fine Region.

Special to the Globe.
CARVER, March Arrangements
are being perfected to insure the build
ing of the ST. Paul, New UIm & South
western railway. The surveys were
completed last fall as far as Lakefeld,
on the Southern Minnesota. The line
starts from Hopkins, parallels the Min
neapolis Il st. Louis as far as Chaska
and Carver, then runs on the west side
of the Minnesota river about midway
between the river and the Pacific di-
vision of the Minneapolis 81 st. Louis
railway, and crosses the river at New
Ulm, and then keeps up the same direc-
ton to the point above mentioned via
Window. From some point in Sibley
county branch will be built to St.
Peter and Mankato. Various stations
on the surveyed line are practically 10
Gated. and in looking on the map it will
be noticed that it runs through very
fine and prosperous country. The
eventual terminus is Omaha, while
seventy-five miles are to be built this
season. From Hopkins the trains will
run over one of the present lines into
the two cities. The company is backed
by New York capitalists. This would
bring one of the best portions of the
state into direct communication with
St. Paul, and fine territory tributary
to this city, while at present its trade is
diverted to Chicago by the Chicago
roads,
