DAVIS PROPOSITION.

Notwithstanding the efforts of the
Republican leaders in this state to OBJ
Scure the fact, there is merry little
war on between the two Minnesota
senators over the spoilS. In another
column will be found a proposition,
looking to a compromise, which was
submitted by Senator DAVIS to Senator
WAsHBURN, and which the latter
laughed to Scorn. The senior senator's
proposition was evidently fair enough,
in that it proposed an equal diStrIbu-
ton of SpOilS as relates to future ap-
pointmentS, Notwithstanding the junior
senator had already gobbled up pretty
much everything that had been Oh
tainable; and the DAVIS proposition
also proposed to concede something to
the country districts, which the WASH
BURN programme does not contemplate.
The public will probably be at loss TO
understand why. if Gen. WASHBURN
was not inclined to accept Mr.. DAVIS
proposition, he did not meet it with a
counter proposition, and thus endeavor to
heal the breach which is widening every
day. The only rational explanation
that can be suggested, in the absence of
a statement from Gen. WAsHBURN, is
that he feels so secure of his influence
with the administration as to think he
will be capable of handling all appoint
ments without the assistance of his col
legue. If this be true, it is only addi-
tiOnal confirmation of what has been
talked about for good while of CON-
bination by which Mr.. WINDOW expects
TO break into the senate. The GLOBE
has heretofore stated, on what it believes
TO be good authority. that combination
exists to retire Senator DAVIS at the
end of his present term, and that Sem
atOr WAsHBURN is member of the
combination. Recent developments all
tend to confirm this statement, as they
also go to show that MIR. WINDOWS
prospective senatorial candidacy is not
myth. If Senator DAVIS means fight,
and he is accredited with being plueky
politician, his friends may as well re-
aIlze first as last that there is work Oh
hand for them. There is a strong con-
centratiOn of political power and IN
fiuence against him, and his only hope
is to DO in the future as he has done in
the past, take Off his coat and get down
to work in the commons. There is his
stronghold, and it Is the only place that
brains will discount the purse.

THE UNGoDLY Fast.

The Evangelical alliance, in session
at Boston the past few days, developed
some surprising facts as to the religious
needs and restitution of the rural dis
triets in New England and New York.
1t has been supposed that the large
cities were exceptional in their drift
away from churchly influences. but an
eminent divine from Vermont shows by
maps and statistics that among the
native Yankee stock in his state. out
side the towns. from half to two
thirds never hear a religious service.
In representative farming counties in
New York q similar condition was
found to exist. 1t was alleged that
those sections furnished the other parts
of the country many of their politicians
and divines, and consequently the other
states are concerned in the production
of good raw material. Senator DOUG-
LAS was one of these, and he said it
was a good state to emigrate from. Ii
may yet be the religious duty of the
West to find missionary ground in the
East

TAKE A STRAW VOTE.

The proposition being urged in South
Dakota that the question of woman suf-
frage, TO be voted on there the coming
year, should be left exclusively to the
decision of the women themselves. Will
strike most men favOrabiy. As the con-
stitutiOn does not make them voters
until the men alone have adopted the
amendment to the constitution, 1t is not
apparent just how the arrangement can
be made effective, but there may be eX-
pedients that will accomplish the object
of determining the wishes of the major
ity of the women in an authoritative. II
not quite imperative way. The legis-
lature might provide for prior special
vote of the women on this question.
with the understanding that the men
at the regular election would rat
ify the decision of the ladies. They are
too gallant to DO otherwise. The essen
tial to woman suffrage is to ascertain
decisively the wishes of the women. Ii
majority wants TO vote, that will settle
the question in that direction. 1t will
be insisted that the majority shall con-
troll with the ladies. as we'll as men.

GETTING TOGETHER.

Upon the principle that it is better
late than never, we are inclined to APP
prove the disposition now manifested
by Northwes tern congressman to get
together and TO act in harmony relating
to legislation affecting Northwestern
interests. Possibly these congressman
are beginning to hear from home, and
have news of the dissatisfaction, not to
say disgust, they created among their
constituents by the way they split up
on the speakerShip contest, and on
other matters pertaining to the organI-
cation of the new house. There is also
@ good deal of grumbling in the ranks
of the faithful concerning the pulling
apart methods these congressman have
adopted in relation to official appoint
mentS. A good deal that could have
been accomplished in the way of pro-
noting Northwestern interests has
been lost by the disposition of our rep
reSentatives to have separate rows.
Their effort to get together at this time
is a little like locking the barn door
after the horse has been stolen: still,
the fact that they are row trying to
effect an alliance, both offensive and
defensive. can be construed into a
grateful evidence that they are re-
pentant for their past omissions.
1t may happen. too, in the course
of legislation during the session,
some matters will alise requiring united
action. and in that event it will be a
comfortable thought to know that they
are organized. Looking ahead at the
probable course of legislation, we can
only see one matter that will require
their united support; and yet we would
not be afraid to risk our Judgment as
prophet on the prediction that they will
90 to pieces again as soon as that propo-
sitiOn comes up. We refer to the mat
ter of locating the worlds fair at Chi
cago. This is not q case, either. where
the wish is father to the thought On
the contrary. we are the consistent adj
Voeate of Chicago. and wish that we
were in position to rely upon the united
support of the Northwestern represent
atives for the only real Western COM
petitor for the worlds fair. But we Go
want to say TO our Northwestern repre-
sentatives, and we say it in the kindliest
spirit and only by way of admonition.
that il they go straying OF again after
Eastern gods when this worlds fair
question comes up, the rumblings of
dissatisfaction they have been listening
to will not be circumstance to what
will follow. An avalanche OF oppro-
blum will sweep down Gpon them.
Now that they are together, our ad-
vice is for them to stay there.

Mormon question. 1t will be remem-
bered that the convention that nomi-
mated HARRISON hurled its maledic-
tons at the Mormon church as "a men
ace to free institutions too dangerous to
be longer suffered" and pledged the
Republican party by appropriate legis-
lation" to STAMP out" the ''wickedness
OF polygamy." The convention shouted
its approval, and the president took
occasion to give the pledge his
special Endorsement. Why this en-
tire ignoring of the whole mat
ter while he is gathering up all
the matters requiring congressional
attention? The people in Utah who
have been so long and bravely strug-
Cling against the tyranny of the politl-
cal ecclesiasticism about them were
eagerly and hopefully looking for re-
lief, and were confident the message
would contain promise of speedy leg
islatiOn. But they toll through 10000
words and find no alluSiOn to their
needs. Can the president have forgot
ten the pledges of his party ana his
own? He could not have overlooked
the fact that a judge in Utah. appointed
by President CLEVELAND, had Just
given, as the conclusion of protracted
investigation of the spirit and aims of the
hierarchy, the opinion that it was hot
bed of hatred and hostility to the gov
ernment and a menace to all free in
stitutionS," and therefore its dey0tees
were unfit for American citizenship.
Can we continue to fondly rely upon
Republican pledges?

MIR. PRoCroR.s REPLY.

L is evident that Mayor SHAKE
sPEARE's telegram to Secretary Proc
ToE Yesterday, announcing the death OF
JEFFERSON DAVIS, was intended to
suggest to the secretary OF war the pro-
priety Of taking official action IN the
matter. Mr.. PROCTOR's reply will strike
the average American citizen as being
an exceedingly appropriate response.
1t Is an unfortunate delusion if any of
Mr. DAVIS friends are impressed with
the belief that the government should eX
press formal sorrow for the death Of one
whe occupied the peculiar position that
MF. DAVIS occupied. There would be
neither reason nor patriotism in it, and
the administration which committed so
grave a folly, whether Democratic or
Republican. would be- called to an ae-
count. Citizens of all political persua-
sions respect the sentiment which
creates mourning in the section to which
Dir. DAVIS belonged; and there is no
man, North or South, worthy the name
Of man, who would do single act to
add to the sorrow of the dead mans
friends But Mr.. DAVIS was part Of
q dead past, and this is one of the
times when the dead should be permit
ted to bury their dead.

LITTLE COMFORT THERE.

Recent Canadian papers report that
the MOrmons have purchased consider
able areas of land on their side OF the
boundary. and an extensive migration in
that direction is looked for. In the
Canadian Northwest one tract of thirty
square miles has been purchased for the
purposes of the church, with farms of
$50 acres for each settler. An endOw-
ment house and all the acce ssories of the
peculiar institution are understood to
be in contemplation. The Saints init
mate that they want to form a colony
without polygamy, and the Canadian
mind is puzzled to understand why in
that case they should leave Utah. 1t
is advised that this domestic feature is
the occasion of their trouble in their
present location. The claim is dis
trusted, but there are no laws against
polygamy in Canada, and no effective
way TO interfere with this Mormon re-
lation. The paper III question calls for
new laws and prompt action before the
migration is fully under way If the
Mormons would secure perpetual i'm
munity from interference. they should

LAUGHTER AND TEARS.

A we'll known citizen, while in
reminiscent mood yesterday, related a
little incident OF the days of 40 in st.
Paul, which raised laugh and recOl-
lection with some Of the old-timers who
heard it. 1t was at time when the
population of this county was not its
strongest point that the idea of having a
sheriff occurred to those who were here,
and the result was the selection of
Cornelius Lull for the place. Cornelius
was and is a gOOd-natured sort OF fell
low. and by reason of the Importance of
his office he officiated in many instances
where anything of public importance
was concerned. 1t was about this time
that the first bell was hung in the
first church ever erected in this
city-to-day city of churches.
The hanging of the bell was
a rather important piece of work,
and it was Sheriff Lull who placed it in
position and attached the cord. To that
same cord is attached tale. Cornelius
was still in the belfry, placing the fin
ishing touches to the arrangement of
the rope, when one of the church deacOnS
entered the church with some friends,
and seeing the cord, thought everything
was in shape for business, so admins
tered several hearty yanks. as result
of which the sheriff of this county came

BUFFERS NEW RIVAL.

1t seems that OleOmargarine is not
the only rival buttermakers may have
TO contend with. Oleo, they have in
o sted, was vile connection, injurious
TO the health, and to be diseountenanced
on broader grounds than their special
material interests. The new candidate
for popular favor is not open to that OBJ
lection. and can only be ruled out for
the benefit of the local product. 1t is a
butter made from the eocoanut. At a
town in Germany it is reported that
number of tons of it are manufactured
daily and sold at profit at Is cents
pound. 1t Is said to be extremely pal
atable, although there is taste of the
nut. OF course it lacks the butter color,
being pure white, but that is possible to
relieve, as it is done with the bovine prod
uct. The nuts are obtained in most tropi-
cal quarters, particularly from the South
sea. Arabia and South America. Vast
numbers OF them are shipped to this
country from Central and South Amer
lea, and they are much like the COW in
being available at all seasons. No rea-
son appears why that butter can not be
manufactured and sold in this country
quite as cheaply as in Germany. 1t is
not probable that it will ever encroach
very greatly upon the province of the
first-cIass products of the diaries. The
COW has held an honorable position in
all the historic times, and the modern
improvements in the animal and her
extract will insure her domination as
the favOrite lubricatOr of the staff of
life; but, if cocOanut butter shall run
out also. it will not be a matter of seri-
Gus regret. 1t may stimulate the some
what erratie bovine to do uniformly
good work. but she need not become
nervous. All Ctristendom is her friend.

FRANKFORT, Ind, Dec. S.-The Chi
cagO limited. one of the handsomest YES
tibuled trains recently placed on the
road between Cincinnati and Chicago
by the Monon route, was wrecked
shortly after noon to-day half mile
south of this city. While running along
at about fOrty-five miles an hour the
rear tender left the track, causing dis
connection of the air-brake, and
leaving the engineer powerIess to
check the speed. The train went
plunging on trestle-work, which is
about 300 feet in length. Here the bag
age car and one coach left the track,
and, after piowing through the ties and
timbers for few feet. went rolling over
into the creek. fifteen feet below, COM
pIetely demOlishing them. The chair
and dining cars. although leaving the
track, remained hanging to the trestle,
and were not badly damaged. Baggage
man Warren, of indianapolis, was the
only one in his car and escaped with a
few bruises and sprained ankle. In
the wrecked coach were four passen-
gers, one of whom, Mrs. Wunder, of
Chicago, received an ugly cash over her
left temple. The other paSse myers we're
only slightly bruised. The damage is
estimated at $4,000 to the company.
The bridge is an entire wreck and will
necessitate new one, delaying trains
