Where drouth or prairie fires do US up most

Ii keeps us scratchin' mighty hard to get

But now the men who make our laws o Won

To make our Northern desert bud and bios.
Our lot will be as glorious as any fairy's
dream;
We're goin to get fortune from man.

I'll never have no use for any farm machin-

I'm through with workin' like a slave nd
frettin' all the WHILE
For when the lott'ry's started up I'm DIN
to make my pile,

To have removed I'll now wipe out in quite

They're sellin' off their farms and stock for

We want to git our money ready SO when they

JUDGE BREWERS SUCCESSOR

Shields Likely to Get the Plum,

First Assistant Attorney General
Shields Likely to Get the Plum.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Who will
succeed Judge Brewer? is a question
which is being asked with more or less
frequency, and which is receiving divers
answers. The general opinion seems
TO be that First Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Shields will be the lucky man. He
was asked about it the other day and
replied: II do not know anything abot
1t, but my name is prominently men,
toned" In all probability no appoint
ment will be made until the passage of
Senator Davis bill dividing the district.
This IS rendered all the more necessary
now that the Dakotas have become
states. There is altogether too much
territory for one man to cover properly.
Who the second man will be Is causing
some speculation. 1t is reported on high
authority that Secretary Noble would
like it. If this is SO he must have some
Interior object Ill view, for he would
scarcely care to resign his place in the
cabinet for district judgeshlp. Rumor
says that Attorney General Miller will
resign next year, and that the secretary
of the interior has his eye on filling his
shoes, desiring the district judgeship
simply as stepping stone to higher
h0nors. RumOrs of cabinet changes are
rife and on every ones tongue. 1t is
said that both Secretaries Blaine and
Tracy will resign Immediately. These
rumors are probably but speculation.
That connecting Gen. Shields name
with the vacant judgeship has founda-
ton of substantial nature, and the APP
pointment may be expected as soon as
the bill dividing the district is passed.

IN MEMORIAM.
Written for the Globe.

W TltteH lOE TIC 0lbpe
A good man has been taken from among
us by death. Daniel Desmond, long q
trusted employe of the st. Paul Gas Light
company, was instantly killed by the falling
of brick wall on Saturday, the sth inst,
caused by an explosion of gas, which can
not even yet, after critical examination by
experts. be accounted for.
Mr.. Desmond at the time of his death was
the only survivor of the force which com
menced the excavation in 1856 of the ground
for the foundation of the present gas works.
His industry, intelligence and fidelity COM
mended him to the notice of his en-
ployers, aud he became in time the foreman
of the works, and was regarded as almost i'll
dispensable to their successful operation.
When the writer, together with a few other
gentlemen, secured majority of the stock
and advanced the funds requisite to reor-
ganization OF the company on much larger
scale. Mr.. Desmond was continued in charge,
and SO remained for nearly twenty years.
During this long lapse Of time the writer was
the president and managing director OF
the corporation, and was necessarily brought
Into daily intercourse with the subject Of this
sketch, and he cannot recall q single instance
where a failure to attend to his duty could be
charged against him.
Enough has been written to show the esti-

or were associated with him. but with large
circle of citizens with whom he became ac-

duties. He leaves widow, an estimable
woman, who did much. in connection with
her husband, to mould the character of their
numerous children, six of whom-two sons
and Jour daughters-still survive to do honor
by the excellence Of their characters TO the
memory of their parents.
Mr.. Desmond was a devout and consistent
Catholic Christian; and, having accom-
pllshed his mission upon earth, he has been
taken TO his heavenly reward. 'Requiescat

THE LOTTERY KILLED.

Public sentiment was too strong for
the North Dakota schemers who would
tarnish the fair fame of their state by
the Introduction of spoils of gambling.
The vote to kill it by indefinite post
pOnement does not mean that the men
who engineered the monstrosity in the
dark until they supposed its success
was assured have been convinced of its
wrongfulness, or that they care for the
moral features: but they found that
they had not quite votes enough to pass
it over the veto Of the governor, and
consequently abandoned it. The appre-
hension that it would damage the Re-
publican party, both in and out of the
state, had much to do with its defeat.
Still, the odium of the attempt will
cling to those who have worked the

DON'T BUY FARMS.

There can be no offense taken at the
appreciation of United States indus
tries shown by the English gentlemen
who come over with pockets swollen
with the surplus capital that seeks prof.
liable investment. They are not, how
ever, on philanthropic or complimentary
missions. They are on business exclu-
sively and strictly. Only one rule
seems to govern them In their pur-
chases. They buy -four mills, brew
cries, and nearly every variety of man.
ufacture that meets certain conditions.
They are reported to be looking visit
fully at the great packing establish
mentS of late. The one class of prop
erty that has no attractions for them is
the farm. Ii the East farms are offered
at very low rates and seeking buyers,
and in the West they can be had at fair
rates. There is no promise of benefit
to the farmers from any of these invest
ments. They can look on and see the
procession go by.

HONOR VERSUS DIsHoNoR.

The Seriptural inquiry what shall it
profit man if he gain the whole world
and lose his own soul?'' is very we'll
supplemented by Judge KELLY's jul
dicial axiom: "Men must be taught
that they cannot profit by dishonor."
Without intention of applying the
axiom to the particular case during the
trial of which the axiom was announced.
we do say that the learned Judge who
gave expression to this elevated senti-
ment merits the gratitude of all man
kind for his bold enunc iation of a broad
principle that should underlie all admin
istration of Justice. 1t is misfortune
that men have to be taught by eXem-
plary punishment that they cannot profit
by dishonor; but, as that misfortune
exists, the courts cannot be any too
swift or any too severe in making an
object lesson of those who are actuated
by this false principle in their deal
ings with their fellow creatures.
In the depths of materialism into
which we have sunken in this material
istic age the old-fashioned notions of
personal honor are sadly at discount.
The growing motto of the age is that
there is nothing succeeds like success:
and thus, in the haste to reach the end,
men have become Indifferent to the
means by which the end is attained.
Another prevailing false notion is that
the accumulation of wealth is the chief
end of man, and that all things else
must be subordinated to that idea. AS a
result we are rapidly becoming a self
ish, grasping people, who, in the mad
race for wealth, repress all the finer,
nobler instincts Of humanity. simply be-
cause their development would he an
obstacle to the achievement of the ends
we have in view. What old-fash-
Toned people once called rascality
is now denominated by the po-
liter name of business shTewdness.
The man who ian get the most for the
least is regarded as the successful bust
ness man. He is promoted to the lead
ership of society. and held UP as the
model for the imitation of the rising
generation. Just so he can keep his
action with the limitation of the law,
and keep himself out of the peniten-
tiary, there is no account taken of the
many dishonorable methods he may en-
ploy in achieving business success, but
he is rather applauded for his business
sagacity and keen business instincts. 1t
would be an exceedingly morbid view

MORGAN MAY BE DROPPED,
The Delay in Confirming Him a
Bad Omen,

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. G.. Feb. 10.-The
delay IN acting upon the nomination of
Gen. Morgan for Indian commissioner
Is causing some comment, and is gen.
orally considered to be bad omen for
his confirmation. "The longer the mat
ter is delayed" says Senate Pierce,
1.-THE less probability is there of his be-
Ing confirmed" A feeling is develop
ing among the more fair minded SEN
atorS that a man who is so obnoxious to
any religious denomination as Morgan
is to the Catholics, is scarcely suitable
for such position as that to which the
president has nominated him. His
friends say that the allegations of the
yet been proven. The impartial reply
that may be all very true, but the
fact remains that Gen. Morgan is dis
tasteful to a large section of the COM
munity, an influential section, one that
has more power over the Indians, by
reason of the good it has done among
them, than all the others combined. In
view Of this admitted fact they argue
1t would be manifestly unfair and i'm
polite to confirm him. Suppose the
facts upon which the opposition of the
Catholics is founded have been by them
misconstrued, would it even then be
right or judicious to place him in this
position where most of those over whom
he is supposed to have a supervisory
power are of the same religious per-
suasion as the men from whom the op-
position is coming? Again, they think
that Intelligent Catholics, like Arch
bishop Ireland. would not base opposi-
ton on nothing and must have good
cause for their action,

Dakota Comes Cheap.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
We remind the people of North Da-
kota that the lottery sanctioning states
of Europe and America are among the
least prosperous of the two continents.
Where gambling i'll one form is made
legal, gambling in all forms becomes
general. Ten times 100000 year
would not, as we think, make up to
North Dakota the losses which it will
suffer should the habits of IMPROVE
dence and recklessneSs which gambling
begets be grated upon the state by
legislative sanction of great lottery.
Moreover, to pass from absolute to
comparative mortality, if the new state
is to sell privilege of absolute monop-
oily i'll gambling the highest price OBJ
tainable should be had, and we do not
think that 100000 year is near the
highest price obtainable. We are told
by gentleman familiar with the secret
history Of Louisiana politics that the
lottery company, whose charter expires
in 1895, is willing to assume the whole
debt of that state, which is SIS, 000, 900 in
round numbers. and to guarantee its
payment, principal and interest, in
twenty-five years, provided that its
charter be extended for that length of
time. North Dakota will make Door

TO take of the situation to say that all
men engaged in business enterprises
were of this type. They are not. There
are men of affairs today, men who are
engaged in active business pursuits, and
great many of them, who hold
honor dearer than life, and who
would submit to bankruptcy, pov-
erty, and all other misfortunes
rather than to suffer bunting of the
consciences to the taking of dollar that
did not legitimately belong to them, OF
in any way profit by dishonor. Yet
1t must be admitted that men Of this
type are not as plentiful as they ought
to be. 1t is lamentable fact that the
tendency Of the times is TO the develop
ment of class of business men whose
sense of personal honor is governed en-
tirelY by their business interests. lie
they see chance to make a dollar they
make it, regardless of the means by
which 1t Is made. Men of this character
are principally confined to the specu-
latiye classes, the gamblers i'll the bust
ness world: yet they are becoming
too numerous for the good Of
society. Their presence is all an
noyance to any community, and their
conduct is demoralizing in the extreme.
They usually avail themselves OF the
best legal talent to determine how far
they can go in their rascally schemes
without being caught in the meshes of
the law; and tits an additional mis-
fortune that the best legal talent is
often too ready to aid them in their dis
honest practices. 1t is all the more re-
freshing, therefore, to find that our
judges are awake to the necessity for
restraining measures, and are prompt to
interpose their judicial powers In ar
rest of this great and growing evil.
The judge who has the mental grasp to
thrust aside the confusing technicali-
ties Of case, and Is possessed of the
moral integrity to dive to the bottom
and fish up the justice and equities, is,
after all, the man who most adornS the
bench. And then. if he has the nerve
to make an example of rascality by CIV
ing it the heroic treatment, he is the
man whom the honest portion of the
community will delight to honor. 1t is
a bad state of affairs when men must
be taught that they cannot profit by
dishonor; but, as the necessity does
exist, let the lesson be given in a way
to make it impressive.
