THE CHEAP LIGHT.

There are so many possibilities of util-
ity in electricity that it cannot be ex-
pected that they will be developed at
once. EDISON has not yet given the
world the cheap light that is to come
He has pointed the way, and the coming
scientists and inventors will take up the
work he has not fully determined. The
progress made in testing its tractabilIty
in this line leave no doubt that electric
ity is to be the popular illuminant of the
future. Some believe that the Leyden
jar will be found the generator, and
will afford light for family use at but
trifing cost. An invention or chemical
discovery at Pittsburg seems promising.
1t is said to afford a 50O-candle power
electric light at cost of one cent an
hour. If it meets this description by
the Dispatch, it is very valuable device.

Ing over from abroad men and women
every day to teach in Catholic schools;
and yet the HARRISON administration
imposes no penalties, nor does it make
an effort to enforce the alien contract
law against Catholics IN any instance.
The Boston committee Furthermore re-
cite that the president suffered the
nation to be insulted without protest
when he attended the Inauguration of
the Catholic theological seminary at
Washington and took a seat on the
left of the presiding officer, while the
seat of honor on the right was given to
Cardinal TAsCHEREAU, who is sub
ject of Great Britain. They further
more allege that the president exposed
the nation to additional insult when
he participated in banquet where the
first toast was to the pope, and the sec
ond to the president of the United
States. When we remember that Presi-
dent HARRISON is blue-stocking Pres
byterian deacon, 1t sounds little queer
to hear him accused of partlality for
Catholics. Yet Boston is great town
to start big agitation on little ques-
ton, and it is possible they will make
a mountain out Of the molehi1 before
they get through with it.

CHICAGo's CHANGE.

The late filibustering in congress has
been stroke of good luck for Chicago.
That. together with the delay at Albany
in passing the New York worlds fair
bill, has enabled Chicago to recover its
grip, so to speak, and the Garden City
will now be better prepared for the
final shock of battle when it does come.
New York was sweeping everything
before it until the filibustering set in
and the hitch at Albany occurred, but
now it looks as if the fates were COM
bined to give Chicago a boost. The
moment that Tom PLATT's meddlesome
hand touched the worlds fair business
New York stock began to decline.
PLATT is nothing if not partisan.
and he is one of those little men
who can never look beyond the horizon
of party eXpediency. So he rushed off
to Albany with an appeal to the Repub-
lican legislature that no worlds fair bill
be passed in the interest of New York

TARIFF CROOKS.

Mention has been made of the suits of
the importers of ribbons that caused the
government to refund some millions as
net profit for the dealers. Cases of a
somewhat similar character have come
into court in the matter of plate glass.
The duty exacted has been as of finished
glass prepared for commercial uses
when only partially completed. The
duty on the perfected article is so
cents a square foot, while the unfinished
glass pays but 45 per cent. The range
between the two varieties is loo per
cent. The manufacturers insist upon
the higher rate. They are nurturing an
infant industry, which, they claim, needs
the encouragement of 145 per cent duty.
The importers will get back from the
treasury the 100 per cent they have paid
the government and collected from the
customers if the suit is decided in their
favor. The people who use the glass
are not considered in the matter.

The other evening Manager Smyth
went over to the New Windsor to hear
the California Opera company sing
Donna Juanita." He is great adj
mirer of John McWade, the popular
baritone, and 1T was especially to hear
him sing that he visited the North side.
The curtain had gone up OIL the first act
when he reached the theater, and he
dropped into one of row of vacant seats
in the rear of the house. Pretty soon a
very fresh and talkative young men fell
into the seat next to Smyth and began
to talk to him about the show business,
The young fellow was a perfect stranger
to him. but he insisted upon talking to
him, and Smyth was greatly annoyed at
his persiStence-he wanted to hear the
performance. Pretty soon McWade
came On. He was dressed as an officer,
and when be began his OPEN
ing solo, which Smyth pre-
pared to listen to attentiyely.
the young bore at his elbow blurted OUT
"Why, he's only got one arm, hasn'
hep" Smyth ground his teeth and
nodded assent. "How did ne lose it?'
persisted the bore. Smyth turned
squarely upon him and said: "He was
listening to performance one night
and a - little fool sat down beside
him and talked it off," The young man
said no more, and pretty soon he arose
and quietly tiptoed his way out of the
theater, not even asking for return
check. Smyth enjoyed the solo all the
more after this episode.

THE TRACY CALAMITY.

The country stands appalled, in the
presence of the frightful calamity which
befeii Secretary TRACY's family yester-
day morning, and the sympathies Of the
world go out to the homeless, Wifeless,
childless man as he sits to-day amidst
the dissolution of his once happy home.
There has been nothing like in the circle
Of American official life since the burst
ing of the gun on the Trenton, when
two members of President TYLER's
cabinet were killed. A strange fatality
seems to attach to the members of the
HARRISON administration. Mr.. BLAINE
is sorrowing under the shadow of a
series of domestic Affections that rarely
fall to the lot of one man, and now the
secretary of the navy is made a victim
of horror of such grim reality that
one shudders at the thought of it. AL
though Mr.. TRACY is a comparatively
new manin public life. yet he has made
the best record Of any member of the
cabinet. He has come to be recognized
as the business man of the administra-
tons; and by strict attention to the bust
ness of his department. and by an in
telligent appreciation of its duties. has
made himself popular with all classes
and with all parties. 1t is probable,
however, that he will break down under
the weight of the calamity which befell
him yesterday and will retire from public
life. 1t would be a brave heart, brave
beyond the average h uman test, which
can bear up under such a sorrow as is

politicians could handle the appropri-
alton with the view of making it count
in the election of 1892. The only alter
native he presented was that the date of
holding tue fair should be postponed
until 1898. the year after the Columbus
centennial. PLATT has great head for
politics, but it isn't worth copper for
historical dates. New York isn't ready
to force the fighting, nor will she be
until that Albany bill passes. In the
meantime bad blood has been engen-
dered in congress by the filibustering
scenes, which will be apt to disturb the

THE MANUFACTURING Room.


While no conclusion was reached in
the chamber of commerce meeting yes
terday morning, other than to separate
the subjects of immigration and manu-
featuring, still the discussions were of
such a practical turn as to give eyi-
dence that our business men are giving
the matter the fullest thought and in
VeStigation. 1t is safe to say now that
whatever is done will be wisely done,
and will only be done after most thor
Ough examination of every possible de-
tail in the work of encouraging manu-
featuring and of inducing immigration.
It occurs to the GLOBE, however, that
the chamber is a little too sensitive
when it comes to touching on facts of
disagreeable nature. If there are any
weaknesses in our developments or draw
backs to our prosperity we should dis
cuss and publish them along with
the many excellences of which we
can boast. "Tell the truth" is
sound axiom, which never fails
of application. 1t is never the
part of wisdom to deceive ourselves
or to conceal facts from others. In any
undertaking of public nature it is
always good policy to begin as MI.
DRAKE suggested, with an organized
system of truth telling. There was an
other point brought out by Mr..
CLoUGH which merits special attention
before we can make much Roadway III
starting manufacturing boom. We re-
fer TO the fact that skilled labor Is higher
here than it is east and south of us, and
it is so simply because the cost of living
is higher. We have got to do something
to reduce the cost of living to the mini
mum before we can hope to become a
great manufacturing center. Rents
must come down, and everything else in
proportion. Go among the laboring
men of this city. especially among the
skilled laborers. and you will hear the
universal testimony that it costs on an
average 80 cents day more to live in
st. Paul than it does in Chicago. The
manufacturers, and those who own and
operate the shops, have to make up this
difference in the cost of living to the la
boring men in order to get them to come
here to work, and then it has to be de-
Quoted from the profits of the concern
We see at a glance what disadvantage
we labor under in the beginning of our
efforts TO establish manufacturing in
dustries. We must rearrange our local
economies so as to make living in st.
Paul as cheap as it will be elsewhere
before we can hope to compete with
rival points in the manufacturing bust
ness.
