PUBLIC BATHS.

Inasmuch as cleanliness is supposed
to be next to godliress, it seems rather
odd that person should be punished
for washing himself. Yet our police
records show that few days ago two
men were required to help swell the
city treasury by paying fines, and that
the offense charged against them was
that they had gone down to the river
one warm day and bathed in the cooling
waters of the Mississippi. They were
poor workingmen who were not able to
rent house with bath room in it, and
having a desire for cleanliness, thought
to avail themselves of the waters which
God has made free for all His creatures.
While it is true that the technical
offense for which they were punished
was bathing in the river at place
within the city limits, where they were
liable to be seen, and as it so happened
were seen by policeman, who pulled
them in. We think the incident is of
suffici ent Importance to attract the at
tention of the city authorities to the
necessity for establishing a public
UdIIIluS pun lOI tllC VI
the poorer classes. From time to time
the GLOBE has urged this matter
upon the city authorities, but without
effect. We are not discouraged
by former failures from renewing the
suggestion, but we shall continue to urge
it until we get city government
that has respect enough for the SANTA
ton of the city, as well as for the con-
ditions of the poor people, to provide
public bathing place. Other cities have
been thoughtful enough to do so, and
there is no reason why st. Paul should
not. 1t can be done at a comparatively
small expense, and the benefits that
would be derived from it are incalcula-
BILE. So far as our poor people are con-
cerned, it is necessity; and. as for
the more prosperous classes, it would
be luxury that they would be willing
to pay for, to have large swimming
pool enclosed at some convenient point
along the river.

A SOUTHERN POLICY,

One of the Memphis papers publishes
the address delivered at that place OH
Memorial Day by Col. EDGINGToN, who
is vouched for as prominent G. A. r.
and sterling HARRISON Republican,
which goes Il little ahead of the Outgiv-
ings of the president on the color line.
The audience was almost entirely col
ored, and, it is stated, was filed with
rage. The spirit of the delivery is in
Dictated in this extract: "The enact
ment of negro suffrage was the great
crime of this age. The guardian angel
of our unfortunate country was sleeping
when that foul deed was done. Any Re-
publican who sincerely favors negro
suffrage is the misguided victim of
maudlin philanthropy" He demanded
the passage of laws limiting the suffrage
OF the colored people, allowing but 5 or
10 per cent of the more intelligent of
them to vote. AS the orator is one of
the leaders of the white Republican
movement in the South that seems to be
in favor with the administration, it is to
be presumed that he reflects It's spirit,
although it has not been understood
that there was any purpose to disfran-
chise colored voters. The theory seemed
to be to allow them to vote the Repub-
lican ticket while the respectable white
Republicans held the Offices.

REFLECTIONS.

Stills are no better in conversation
than in foot race.
Folly must hold it's tongue while
wearing the wig of wisdom.
When poverty comes in at the cottage
door true love goes at it with an ak.
1t is the foolish aim of the atheist to
scan infnitude with microscope.
The office should seek the man, but
it should inspect him thoroughly before
taking him.
The good Samaritan helps the unfor-
tunate wayfayer without asking how
he intends to vote.
Humility is most serviceable as an
undergarment, and should never be
worn as an Overcoat.
All the paths of life lead to the grave,
and the utmost we can do is to avoid the
short cuts.
The reformer becomes fanatic when
he begins to use his emotions as sub
stitute for his reasoning faculty.
Many an object in life must be at
tanned by flank movements; it is the
zigzag road that leads to the mountain
top. A. Macon in Century Bric-a-
