mentions some prayers which he asks

NO EXTRA SESSION.

Notwithstanding the strong pressure
that is being brought to bear upon the
preSident-elect by the more radical Re
publicans to have him call an extra ses-
sion of congress, it seems to be fairly
well understood at Washington that he
will do nothing of the sort. Beyond
the necessity of tariff reform legislation
there is nothing before congress that
will be undisposed of when that body
adjournS of so urgent nature as to
Justify an extra session. AS a matter
Of course, the senate will be reconyened
to act upon the appointments that will
be made by the new president, but Gen.
HARRISON is probably too cautious a
man to risk the introduction of his ad-
miniStration in the hands of such a
fool congress as the next one is
likely to be. He will have trouble
enough with that congress later on,
when it convenes in regular session.
The Republicans have majority enough
in both branches of congress to organize
the two houses without interference from
the Democrats, whenever they may as
semble, whether in March or December
Gen. HARRISON is smart enough to
know that the tariff record of the next
congress is going to be a stencil in the
nostrils Of the American people, and he
is naturally ANXIOUS to postpone the
date of its assembly until the last day,
in the hope that he can get the eyeeu-
tive branch of the government measur-
ably fortified against the reproaches
that the next congress is likely to bring
upon his administration. Gen. HARRI-
SON understands very well that it is 60
ing to be congress that he cannot con-
troll. With all the antagonism among the
Republican congressman to the BLAINE
regime, it is going to be tougher lines
for the HARRISON administration than
if the Democrats had control of both
branches. The only possible argument
that could present itself to Gen. HARRI-
SONS mind in favor of an extra session
would be the possibility that he might
use the appointing power as bait to
keep recalcitrant congressman in line in
support of his administration. But that
is feeble hope, seeing that it is Mr..
BLAINE, and not Gen. HARRISON, who
will control the appointments. So, TAX
ing everything into consideration, it
may be safely assumed that there will
be no extra session.

DOWN IN DIsGRACE,

While the public were prepared for
the collapse of the Times case against
PARNELL, they were not prepared for
the sensational denouement which oc-
Cured yesterday. 1t is sad illustra-
ton of how far wrong a reputable party
can be led astray under the influence of
a strong partisan feeling, and in addi-
ton thereto confirming the truthfulness
Of the old adage that they who handle
pitch must become defiled. Once the
London Times had the reputation of
being the greatest newspaper in the
world. To-day there are none SO poor
as to do it reverence. And the Tory
leaders, who stood back of the Times
and urged on the assault against PAR
NELL, are just as deep in the mud as
the newspaper is in the mire. In at
tempting to use an unscrupuious vii
lain as prosecuting witness against
the Irish leaders, they fell into the
ditch of their own digging.

The Northwest's Bad Beginning.

Chicago News.
At the very moment that President
Cleveland signed the bill admitting
four new Northwestern states to the
Union gigantic blizzard was speed
ing down from the twin Dakotas
to play havoc with the tempers
of sober-minded people in the
lower ATTITUDES. The Northwest has
been treated very handsomely by the
representatives of the states at Wash
ington. They have been admitted into
full membership of the starry sister
hood. Now they are foisting their dis
agreeable weather upon us in a truly
despicable manner.
The Northwest has been on its good
behavior all winter. 1t has made
mighty show of repentance and reform
alton. 1t has sent pleasant airs, which
breathed around our easements with
low, cooling sounds. Tt has stoutly as
serted its responsibility for long months.
But no sooner has it achieved its pur-
pose than it begins to whoop and shake
its saW-tOothed snow storms over the
face of nature.
Such breach of confidence grieyes
us deeply. This morning, unless Gen.
Greely's weather predictions also play
us false, there will be boisterous
weather, blowing great guns out of the
malignant Northwest. There will be a
grand jubilee of billiards, an acute
attack of cold feet and frost bitten ears,
throughout the lower lake regiou. This
display of perfidy on the part of the new
states is very diShearteningS

WE'LL DONE.

Well done, good and faithful servants.
That's the plaudit awaiting the mem
bers of the senate when the people of
the state read in this mornings GLOBE
how that body heroically inaugurated
an era of retrenchment Yesterday by
cutting off the sinecures. 1t would have
been infinitely better If the senate had
had the forethought not to have en-
ployed so many useless clerks. But it
DIDN'T, and, following the precedents es-
tablished by other legislatures, never
discovered Its mistake until the GLOBE
called attention to this inexcusable ex-
travagance. Still. we take the liberty
to. remind the senators that they have
only begun in the work of retrench-
ment. What they did yesterday is not
a patching to what remains to be done.

Instead of climbing lengthy stairs that hurt a

A gorgeous elevator takes you up before you

The refuse and the ashes taken from you in

No trouble making fires and no freezing

For steam makes summer weather. in your

Which, being most self-furnished, take but
very little more
To give them all the comfort and the beauty

And up silver speaking tube his name he
has to tell;
Then, it you wish to see him. when button

The front door as by magic opens widely for
your guest.
The time and strength and money you are
saving gives a chance
To see a deal of pleasure and in intellect ad

The privacy and quiet of home you viii

Without the cost and worries that make keep

Where hOusework is SO pleasant that we

Where there Is nothing else to do buteat and

With time and strength and money for the

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

But in Minnesota in 1889 any rich en-
ployer of labor may boldly employ any
number of armed men to do his bidding,
even to the extent of numbering peace

mercenary detectives" = Saltwater

Lop Off useless hangers-on alb out the
legislature and then put in some honest
work in finding the difference between
the claims and demands of various state
institutions and their actual consistent
needs. To find the lowest amount
needed, instead of appropriating what
is demanded, will work an immense re-
duction.-Winona Herald.
Hon. Jared Benson, of Anoka, is
doing yoeman's service in the house in
