GOSSIP OF THE DAY.

New Story 1t is pretty hard to tell
anew story about Tom
on Corwin, the Ohio states
man OF twenty-five
Tom Corwin. years ago, but there is
one that has never
passed the limits of the village where it
occurred. says the New York Tribune.
COrwin was making good Wing
speech one day in Elysia, o., town in
the Western Reserve. 1t was before
the war. and In those days the audience
used the right of free speech to the ex-
tent of interrupting a speaker at any
point with question. OF course the
subject most discussed at that time was
slavery, and politicians thought
themselves lucky if they escaped
without being called upon to give
their views. MIR. COrwin had.
reached the middle of his speech, and
the rapt attention of the Intelligent
Yankees of that section had elated him
so that he was pouring forth perfect
food of eloquence. There was hush,
one glorious platitude had been rolled
forth and he was just beginning an
other when thin, shrill voice called
out:
mister Corwin, what do you think of
the slavery question:"
People who remember this brilliant
orator say his complexion was swarthy,
almost Ethiopian in hue, and this fact
he cleverly used to rescue himself.
"Gentlemen," said he quickly, 81 am

ton of gentleman of my COLOR

THE PREsIpENT.s oRDER.

The resistless power of the public
press was never more thoroughly or
promptly exemplified than in the order
of President HARRISON renting the
unexpired sentence of DELL P. WILD,
the private soldier so harshly and wan-
tonly court-martialed for refusing to
perform mental service at Fort Yates.
Individual exerti0n and personal inf1u
ence might eventually have accom-
plished as much, but it would, of neees-
sity, have been through more tardy
channels, involving much time and in-
vestigation; while the newspapers of
the nation have brought about this re-
suit within the space of a few days.
The GLOBE appropriates the lions share
OF the credit in this result. as it discov-
cred the case and gave it the investiga-
ton and publicity which resulted in the
order Of remittal. Its publication and
editorial comments were published
broadcast through the country and
induced other journals to join the
crusade. President HARRISON OBJ
tanned his information through the
newspapers alone, and was evidently
convinced of the truthfulness of the re-
ports given. 1t is to his credit that his
action was prompt and radical. His
order is plain, straightforward and I'M
mlstakable, and the apology tackled
upon the end by Secretary PROCTOR in
no way mitlgates the force of the re-
proof. The lesson it will carry is a
salutary one. 1t notifies officers of the
army that the enlisted soldier is man,
not lackey nor slave. 1t guarantees
to the lowest private the right of ap-
peal, and will have wide tendency to
break up that snobbish clannishness
that is the bane of the army. That the
order will carry dismay to many of the
epauletted dudes the GLOBE is well
aware, but the GLOBE also believes it
will be we'll received by every true SOL
dier, whether he is covered with the
golden symbols of authority or the
plain blue of the rank and file.

THE TwENrY-sECoND.

The fourth of July and the twenty
second of February being the only two
national holidays, one in celebration of
the birth of independence and the other
of the birth of the hero who achieved
that independence, it is but natural that
iii each recurring year these two days
should be observed with thanksgiving
and busting up of our patriotic i'm
pulses. This year the two holidays bear
unusual significance because of the CEN
tennial memories associated with them.
Congress is about to inaugurate a
scheme for celebration of the fourth
centennial of Americas discovery, and
while public attention is riveted upon
that subject the American mind will
naturally be absorbed in contemplation
of the glories and achievements of our
distinct nationality.
In this connection the name of
GEORGE WASHINGTON will be ever up
permOSt in all we think or say concern
ing American progress. and this very
fact should remind us that the noble
woman who bore Americas most Illus
triOus patriot sleeps in her neglected
grave on the banks of the Rappahan-
mock, and it viii be doing something in
furtheranee of our national fame il we

and pay fitting tribute to both son aud
mother by erecting a suitable shaft over
the spot of ground which encloses the
ashes of MARY WASHINGTON. 1t is
cOnsecrated ground, and should be
treated as such by the whole nation.
Here in st. Paul we have special
cause for celebrating the twenty second,
because it has been selected as the day
for the formal opening of the first cleo
trio railway line in the city, and the in
auguration of motor system that is
soon to supplant all others. In the fut-
ure it will be something to look back to
the 22d of February, 1890, as the date
when the horse car disappeared in st.
Paul. With all his marvellous foresight
and faith In the future development of
the nation he founded, GEORGE WASH

A WoMAN,s CAMPAIGN.


At the convention of the Natl onal
Female Suffrage association, held in
Washington this week. a leading sub
ject of consideration was the campaign
in South Dakota. That was regarded
as a field white for the harvest. and pro.
vision was made to kut the RUTHs and
others In with their sickleS. Some Of
the newspaper reports seem based upon
an impression that the first post to be
captured is the present legislature.
This could hardly be the understanding
of the convention. as there were dele
gates from South Dakota familiar with
the situation. The constitution of that
state provides that the first legislature
after admission shall submit to the vot-
ers at the first state election all amend
ment striking the word male from the
constitution. There is no option with
the legislature. They must provide for
this vote or violate their oaths to obey
the constitution. There is no doubt
that the question will be submitted. In
case majority of the present or male
voters shall declare for the ellmi-
nation, the constitution provides that
hereafter there shall be mo distinction
between males and females in the eyer
else of the right of suffrage at any cleo
tion." This is the prize that is reported
to have stirred the Washington gather
ing to white heat of enthusiasm. The
assurance they received from their gal
liant and eloquent friends. Congressman
PICKLER and Alliance WARDEIL, added
to the glow; but not much reliance should
be had upon the elusive cheer such men
give. The good ladies have learned, per-
haps, from other experiences that they
must work out their own salvation.
They should understand that their eff
forts should be- mainly directed to set
ting their own sex right. 1t is true the

CELEBRATION TO-DAY.

To-day is the anniversary of the birth
of GEORGE WASHINGTON. He died
about ninety years ago. and still the
obituary notices of him are kept up
regularly, and rather grow in their es-
innate Of the deceased as the distance
elongates. WASHINGTON was well
posted on the incidents of his times,
but he never suspected that his grand
children, speaking of him as the grand
father of his country, would celebrate
one of his birthdays in st. Paul by rum
ming street cars by tanned lightning.
In fact, he did not know much about
street cars or any kind of railways. He
would have looked into the eye of a
prophet of such things for the wild glare
of the demented. He died too SOON to
know very much Of the country that was
10 evolve from the forces he helped to
get into working order. Those who
look back ninety years from date will
have catalogues of things they will
wonder their grandfathers did not find
out. But the processes are more rapid
now than they were 100 years ago.

Before the Bar of Justice.
TRENTON, No., Feb. 2l.-The $50
train to-day was loaded down with
SpIckardSvIlle temperance crusaders
and their sympathiZers. They came to
attend the trial of the ladies arrested
for demolishing the saloon of Thomas
Brady. When the train stopped
at the station the sixteen crusad-
ers first alighted and were followed by
some 800 people who had come to at
tend the trial. At the station a crowd
of 500 Trenton crusaders were drawn
up to receive the martyrs. Besides
these, there were about 200 people who
had been attracted through curiosity.
The Trenton crusaders were headed by
brass band, and scattered throughout
the ranks were numerous standard
bearers who carried aloft banners
and transpareneies bearing mot
toes of appropriate sentiment.
A procession was formed, with
the sixteen Spickardsville cru
saders in the place of honor. Then the
march was taken up. Rev. j. H. Cox,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church and marshal of the day, called
upon the hosts to
SING HOLD THE FORT"
The hymn was sung with will. The
procession then marched to the music
of bands to the opera house. where ar
rangements had been made for public
meeting. Rev. Cox presided. and when
he had called the meeting to order the
house was packed with crowd of /, 200
people. A song was sung, PRAYER was
offered by Rev. Knox, of the Pres
byterian church, and the chairman
announced that short speeches were in
order. Addresses were made by Rev.
j. Z. Davis aud Rev. Blockheart, of the
Christian church; Rev. Robbins, of the
ardsyille, Snd &. j. Ringe. an engineer
of this city. Rev. Cox announced that
the ladies of Trenton had prepared
collation. for the visitors, and the meet
ing adjourned for lunch. In was 80
when Justice Shanklin, before whom
the case was to be tried, called the court
to order. The jury had already
been selected, and there was no
delay in getting down to the work i'm
hand. A. 3. Burkholder, counsel for
the defense, rose to state his case. The
prosecution objected to this until the
prosecution had stated the charges
ruled the objection, and then from the
crowd of fully loo people broke forth
applause OF
THE MOST VIOLENT KIND.
The Justice called loudly for order.
and when quiet was restored repri-
manded the spectators, adding that this
was no temperance meeting, but court
of justice. Thomas Brady, owner of
the demolished SALOON. was the first wit
ness. He told how his building had
been wrecked. During the cross-exanl-
ination the defense questioned him
with the purpose OF showing that his sa-
loon was public nuisance and ought
to have been abated. The prosecution
objected to that line of cross-examina-
ton, and. pending the Justices decision
on the point, the court adjourned until
tomorrow morning. Seventy-fve wit
nesses have been subD@naed, and the
trial will last fully three days.

Remarkable Case of Displace-

building on Tuesday afternoon. Deputy
Coroner Jenkins made the autopsy, and
found that the heart, which was alb
normally fat, had moved over to the
right side of the chest; the stomach.
spleen, pancreaS and a greater
portion of the large and SMALL
intestines had passed up in
to the left pIeural cavity
and considerably compressed the left
lung. The heart, besides being dis
placed, was compressed, and there was
a general DISPLACEMENT, all resulting
from an old dlaphraghic hernia, for
which the deceased had received much
medical treatment. Some twenty years
ago Johnson contracted hernia by a
tree falling on him, and it is be-
lieyed that the general displacement of
those organs occurred at that time and
existed ever since. DR.. jenkins said
that the immediate cause of death was
heart failure, though the displacement
of the organs was tending to accelerate
death.
