VICTORY FOR THE CITIZENS.
The Most Important Local Elec-
ton ever Held i'm Chicago.

CHICAGO. Dec. 12.-The most i'm
portant local election probably ever
held in Chicago took place to-day. 1t
was to decide the control of newly
created board OF nine waterway COM
missionerS, the members of which are
to have the raising and disbursement
of funds estimated from $1,000, 900 to
$50, 100000 add the employment for an
Indefinite period of 10000 to $1,000
men. Cumu' alive voting was permitted
and the Democratic and Repub-
lican conventions each nominated but
five men, the aim being to secure a ma
iority of the board of nine. A ''citi-
zens," or independent ticket was also
placed in the contest with six names,
three of which were those OF former
Democrats. and three former Republic
cans. AT 1880 p. m. returns from
about half the precincts indicated the
election of the six Independents, and
that the three remaining places would
fall to the Democrats. On this basis

important part in Illinois politics.

from, leads the list of successful candi-

Citizens ticket leads the Democrats by
an average Of $500 votes and the Dem

THE DAIRY BUSINESS.

The wisdom of ELECTROMAGNETIC
legislation could not have been better
indicated than was done in the StatiS-
teal presentation made by Assistant
Dairy Commissioner HOWARD at the
Mankate convention. Commencing with
the year 1885, when the Ole0 law went
into effect, and continuing his statistical
statement down to the present year he
demonstrates that there has been an
actual gain of over $1,000, 200 in actual
money to the butter makers of the state,
and yet this does not represent the
gains in directions other than the i'll
crease in the price of butter after hay
ing been relieved of competition with
the artificial stun. The encouragement
given to the dairy business is likewise
demonstrated by the increase in the
number Of cows, the increase being
over 100000 within five years, and there
has been an increase in the butter
product in the same time of about 10000
900 pounds. These figures are not only
interesting to the farmers and dairymen,
but they are worthy the attention of the
entire people of the state. They are
encouraging 20 the taxpayers because
with an increase of farm stock and
farm products will come Tightening of
taxation. They are encouraging to the
future material prospects of the state
because they are the evidence of a grow
ing and profitable industry which is yet
to be source of immense wealth TO
Minnesota. There is no state in the
Union better adapted to the dairy bust
ness than ours. We have the climate,
the water, the grasses and all the eOndi-
tiOnS favorable for making the best but
ter and the best cheese. All that our
people needed to encourage The devel-
Opment of this great industry was some
assurance that they would be protected
against the sale and manufacture of the
bogus article that was flooding our
markets. The GLOBE took this view of
it at sthe time the matter was first
brought TO the attention of the legiSla
ture, and W. impressed upon that body
the necessity for adopting stringent
measures of protection. The legislature
acted in accordance with our views, and
now we are more than gratified to find
that the results are all that we antlci-
pated.

KANSAS CRY. Dec. 12.-The great
sugar swindle planned by the American
Sugar company, of Kansas, has entirely
collapsed, and the townships which
voted bonds to foster the industry will
lose nothing. Ali the bonds, $4,000 in
amount, voted in Meade county for the
extension of the Meade mills have been
cancelled and the scrip Issued by various
townships in Clark county has been de-
strOyed, excepting $4,000 voted by one
township. and this cannot now he negO-
tiated owing to the publicity given to
the swindle. The sugar cOmpany's
scheme was gigantic one, and If it had
been successfully executed, million
dollars would not have covered the loss
sustained by the counties and townships
where the company contemplated Oper-
atiOns. Agents had been actively at
work in Stanton, Haskell, Pratt, Grant
and Johnson counties, and had succeed
ed in arOuslng such enthusiasm over the
new industry. that they became to re-
gard it as the salvation from possible
ruin caused by the uncertainty of the
yield from other crops than sorghum.
They were convinced thoroughly of the
success or the new process which
promised such extraordinary returns of
sugar from sorghum and very willing to
vote the amounts asked for the estab-
liShment of mills. Secretary MOhler, of
the state board Of agriculture, states
that the company's plans included the
promised erection of 100 mills in various
parts of Western Kansas for which
subsidy aggregating over S1,000,000 was
to have been asked. Now that the COM
pany's methods of mixing refined sugar
with the sorghum product has been ex-
posed the whole scheme falls to the
ground. The illegality of voting sub
sides to private corporation was
evaded by the townships officers issuing
the scrip and then calling an election to
fund the scrip in bonds. e.

A Few "Dont's" for Husbands.

Do not jest with your wife upon a sub
ject in which there is danger of wound
ing her feelings. Remember that
she treasures every word you utter,
though you never think of it again. says
the Domestic Monthly. Do not speak
of some virtue in another mans wife to
remind your own of fault Do not re-
preach your wife with personal defects.
for, if she has sensibiiity,you infiiet a
wound difficult to heal. Do not treat
your wife with inattention i'm company.
Do not upbraid her in the presence of
third person, nor entertain her with
praising the beauty and accomplish
ments of other women. Do nOt be stern
and silent in your house. and remark
able for sOciability elsewhere. Remem-
Der that your wife has as much need of
recreation as yourself, and devote pOr-
ton, at least, of your leisure hours to such
society and amusements as she may
join. By so doing you will secure her
smiles aud increase her affection. Do
not, being too exact in pecuniary mat
tiers, make your wife feel her depend
ence upon bounty. 1t tends to lessen
her dignity of character and does not in
crease her esteem for you. IF she is
sensible woman she should be
acquainted with your business and
know yeur income. that she
may regulate her household eX-
penses accordingly. Do not withhold
this knowledge in order to cover your
own extravaganza. Women have keen
perception. Be sure she will discover
your selfishness, and, though no word
is spoken from that moment, her respect
is lessened and her confidence dimin-
ished, pride wounded, and thousand.
perhaps unjust. suspicious created.
From that moment is your domestic
comfort Oil the Wane.

THE BABY VOTED.

At the municipal election in Boston
this week about 5000 ladies voted on
school matters, and it is stated that the
vote was chiefly cast by the best and
most Intelligent class of women. That
is crumb for the champions of suf-
frage without regard to sex. One Incl
dent, however, is reported that may be
used in opposition. The vo ting was had
under the Australian act, that provides
that the voter shall go into the booth
absolutely alone, and mark the ballot
with no human eye witnessing the act.
Regardless of the rigorous mandate of
the law, one highly notwithstanding
woman attempted to take in the seclu-
sion of sovereignty person Of the other
sex. The yigilant officers of the law,
however, were herOicalIy alert. and
forced her to surrender the babe in her
arms before she cOnld enter the voting
precincts. This was clearly an oversight
in the trainers of the law. When women
are voters they should be allowed to take
their offspring in their arms to the
polls, whether twins or tripplets. There
is fitness in this in an educational way,
and the infant is not likely to improp-
erly bias the maternal voter.

THE BOSTON BANQUET.

Mr.. CLEVELAND used his encyclo-
pedia TO good purpose in his talk to the
Boston merchants last night. He used
it to show that the Boston merchant of
the olden time never forgot the duties
of citizenship, nor was he unmindful
that equal rights and impartial justice
were the stipulatIons of the contract of
American citizenship. And by draw
ing a truthful picture of the
old Boston merchant, Mr.. CLEyE-
LAND impressed upon his hear
erS the necessity for getting
back to the old standards if we wish to
preserve our institutions. We urge
our readers to study the speech care
fully, for it contains more political wis
dom than any address of the kind that
has been delivered within the recollec-
ton of this generation. We are sure
that Gov. HILL would find it immensely
profitable to heed what Mr.. CLEVELAND
had to say about ballot reform. Mr..
GGADY's eloquent remarks on the
race problem and the lucid solution he
offered must have made an impression
upon his audience.

A few years ago strange mistake

ladies of the same name gave an enter

gained that day the admiring comments
of all New York was the one who received
perfect strangers as if thew were her

how awkward they would feel when
they found out their mistake; she did
all she could to prevent their feeling
awkwardly while with her.

AN AUDITO RUM ROW.

Chicago is in a tumult because the
homemade talent did not have a show
for their white alley in the programn o
of the auditorium opening. Gov. FIFER
was put away down at the foot on the
list of speakers, and his friends are
the ones who are making the row over
the matter. Another thing that hurt
the governors feelings is that the Chi
eago papers devoted so little space TO
what he did say when he got a chance
to crate. The fact is that if Gov. FIFER
didn't make better speech than those
whose speeches were published he
ought to be thankful to the Chicago
press for their silence, and he ought to
consider 1t would have been good luck
if he hadn't been on the programme at
all. We are of opinion that Gov. FIFER
must be pretty small man, or he would
not be raising muSS about q little
thing like this. Still we predict that
when St Paul dedicates its auditorium
there will be no occasion for bad feeling
after it IS over. The president will
make a better speech than he did at
Chicago, because he will have more in
spiration. and the speakers will all be
arran ged on the programme according
TO the eternal fitness Of things.

of the poor of that island

OF infamy-a life of death to body. mind
and spirit. The mothers of these I'M

SUSPENDED MID AIR.
Thrilling Accident to the c. p. r.
Through EXpress.

WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. IA Winni-
peger who just arrived from the Pacific
coast tells of a thrilling accident to the
Canadian Pacific through express in the
mountains on Saturday last. A rail
gave way at point on the mountain
side, high above the Columbia river.
The engine passed over safely. but the
two coaches following swung about and
tOppled over. The bank was very per-
pemdicular, and the cars would
have tumbled several hundred feet
below into the flowing river had it not
been that the coupling twisted around
and held the tremendous weight. There
were the two cars, one with its load of
passengers, suspended between heaven
and earth. The weight of the engine
and the balance of the train prevented
the suspended cars from drawing the
whole train down. The suspense was
said to be dreadful. The frightened
passengers were compelled to rema n
in their periOus position until the train
hands built platform around and I'M
derneath the hanging cars, enabling all
to make their escape. The place where
the accident occurred is considered the
most dangerous in the mountains,

Effects of Close Shaving.
iedieal Classics.

Medical Classics.
Do you know what a close shave
means? l never did until l looked at a
face the other day through micro
scope which had been treated to this
luxurious process. Why. the entire
skin resembles piece of raw beef. To
make the face perfectly smooth requires
not only the removal of the hair. but
also portion of the cuticle: and close
shave means the removal of layer of
skin all around. The blood vessels thus
exposed are not visible to the eye, but
under the microscope each little CULVER
ing mouth holding minute blood drop
protests against such treatment. The
nerve tips are also uncovered and the
pores are left unprotected, which leaves
the skin tender and unhealthy. This
sudden exposure of the inner layer of
the skin renders.a person liable to have
colds, hoarseneSS, and sore throat.
