A COOL THOUSAND.

AS will be noticed from the account
taken out of the Oxford Day, BILL FIFE
received a cool thousand for his ten days
work at Oxford.
This is all right, from COLONEL BILLS
standpoint, but it is all wrong from the
standpoint of others.
What did he do to earn a thousand
dollars in ten days:
From whom did he get the money:
Those are the two questions which are
worth a little time in discussing
FIFE simply took the money which
people could afford to give-or at least
did give for religious purposes
How are the churches in Oxford: Do
they need repairs: DO they need paint :
Do the preachers there who labor year in
and year out need any extra money for
Christmas; Do the pulpits need new
! bibles or new decorations?
Go look at them and see for yourself.
If your wife dies tomorrow and you
live at Oxford, who will preach the SER
mon which sends the dear woman to
glory? Will it be FIFE, who has just
picked the pockets of people for a thou
sand, in a certain way-Or will it not be
the old minister who talks through the
year: viii you call FIFE to solace you
and to help you in that dark hOur-and
if you call him how much will he charge:
If you call one of the regular preachers
one of the fellows who is underpaid if
not OverwOrked-hOw much will he
charge: Will he busy? Will he tell
you that he has another engagement and
cannot come:
No, that good man, the man who has
spent a life in studying for the ministry
who is good and who never experienced
in dives and barrOOms and houses of pros
~tituticn and gambling bells those things
which dear brother FIFE old you that
he experienced until he was so base and
so debauched that even the fallen women
would no longer trust him, and whom be
claims he owed much ~money-he will
come and he will take you by the arm
and lead you into the death chamber
into the dreary room where passed away
the Oma you loved and who loved you
and he will lead you to the coffin and
when you look for the last time on that
dear face; when you recall it all-the |
girl you loved and the woman you loved
and the mother who leaves her children |
and you say, "Beautiful-but dead
and when the tears come and that minis
ter comforts you and you lean on his arm
how much, THE GLOBE wants to know,
have you given him?
No cool thousand, to be sure, but per-
haps a measly thousand for a years work
less than that-and he is from no hot
bed of sin; he was never stepped in the
slime of the wicked from head to toe
from back to ~cheek-and vet BILL FIFE
got a thousand.
The last train wreckers on the Iron
Mountain road-though they had to
kill a man, only held up the express
company for $4,000 and FIFE took a
for ten days weeping and
shouting for JEsUs-the son of GoD
whom he dishonored and cursed for the
portion of his life.
Bah 1t is mockery and it is criminal
ity. The local preachers have been rob-
bed and that is all there is of it.

THE fact that the state board of agri-

fund which The GLOBE proposes to raise.

Poultry Notes.

The Poultry World says: Do not at
tempt under any circumstances to keep
500, or even 200, adult fowls in one flock
Broods of half grown chickens may be
united in the fall until there are 500,
when there is an unlimited range. but
grown fowls never In one yard there
ought not to be kept more than from
twenty to fifty hens even if the yard is
large.
In raising poultry for profit you must
first consider the surrounding circum-
stances, the amount of capital to invest
the space of ground to be occupied and
the amount of help available.
American Agriculturist tells that clab-
bered milk is very nutritious article OF
food for hens and growing pullets. 1t is
usually fed with bran, well mixed to-
gether.
AS general rule it will be found a
good plan to introduce new blood into
the flock every year, either by getting
new ROSTERS or setting of eggs from q
reliable breeder.

the storming Of the Tuileries was planned,
and there all the crises of the revolutions
AIRY tumult were arranged before they
broke in public storm. Into the old hall
Of St. Jacobus tie furious earth-born
democracy of the Faubourgs and base
ments dubbed up and sputtered in fire
and foam and blood
There the DEGREES were debated by which
the ancient landmarks of civilization were
oblterated: by which the old time calendar
was stricken down; by which religion, with
all its attendant circumstances and insti-
buttons, was kicked aside into the rubbish
of the Middle Ages, by which Reason was
raised and worshiped, and by which death
was declared to be an eternal sleep. Not
until the fall of Robespierre and his fellow
despots of the Terror was the power of the
Mother Society broken, Under that blow
of reviving justice and liberty she stag
gered, first into obscurity and decadence,
and then into death The old hall of St
Jacobus was closed in November of l794,
and the Club of the Jacohins, that fearful
engine of revolutionary ruin, was no more.

but were n ot sorry to get rid of committee
work and see the sights of a great city.
A peculiar feature of the convention was
this: The man who as an editor has come
in for general criticism had charge of
the arrangements, and he received the Wis
itors in a manner that would make one
imagine they had been praising him for
years. That man was Rev. John Talbot
Smith, editor of The Catholic Review He

character and ably and clearly expressed,

prominent Catholic journals in the land.

periodical promising well for the associa-

Gest for attornev...e,era,

The Union and other beneficiaries of
Congressman Gest's good will, have
been debating for some tine the serious
question of what provision to make for
that gentleman in political way. Itwas
natural 10 suppose that the Landslide of
last November had buried Gest for all
time, but it seems that his friends are de-
termIned to resurrect him. The result
OF several conferences among the office
holders in this city was announced in
the Union yesterday morning in a long
article formally announcing the candi.
dacy of Mr.. Gest for the attorney gener.
alship of the state. o; course the an.
nouncement was surprise to the gen
eral public. as the select few had kept
their plans carefully to themselves.
Neither cid it meet with that hearty sp-
probation among republicans which the
wire-pullers expected. In fact there were
numerous sntagonistic expressions to the
scheme, and even among those who favored
it, there was no feeling of confidence in
the success of the effort to have Mr..
Gest placed on the state ticket.
There is question, however. if the
federal clique who have concocted the
idea of presenting the name of Mr.. Ge.t
to the next republican state convention
as candidate for attorney general. are
sincere in their declared intentions. 1t
has been limited by some of the ex-con.
gressman's friends in the lower
counties that he should be re-
nominated for congress again in
1892. trusting to presidential year to
pull him through. His most ardent sup,
porters in this county. however, have
sufficient political sense now. to know
that he would succeed no better than he
did last year. To dispose of him pleas
antly and at the same time effectuslly
may be the object of these whilom friends.
if not, they are certainly very shortsighted
in supposing that they can secure Mr.. Gsst
the nomination sought for. In the first
place it will be impossible to secure a
solid district delegation for Mr.. Gest, and
without that it is of little use to aspire for
the place. Then 1. N. Pearson, the
present secretary of state, resides in
Macomb, al d as he is candidate for re-
election. it is not expected that he or his
friends will look with favor upon Mr..
Gest's aspirations. On the whole it look s
as though the republican ringsters here
are laying the foundation for good.

the congressional district.
