Mr.. Bowling Not Esving Much of a
Picnic Over it.
]. Leon Phillips, who was arrested Satur-
day night on g charge OF larceny after trust,
preferred by Mr. Bowling, and released
Sunday night with the understanding that
he would leave the city and never return,
tried to complicate matters worse than they
have been before he left town by misstating
the circumstances TO other creditors.
A. E. Smith Of Smith Bros. is a creditor
of the defunct firm for something in the
neighborhood of $500. He tried TO secure
himself by purchasing the store from Mr..
Bowling, but there were several previous
offers under consideration and no agree
ment could be reached Monday Mr..
Bowling effected sale to a party con-
ditionally and was to have confirmed
it yesterday, when the purchaser withdrew
and declined to buy. Afterward Mr. BOWL
ing learned, as he thought, that the would
be purchaser had been acting for Mr.. Smith,
and that the latter, after having access to
the books through the prospective pur-
chaser, had used the information by
garnishing the customers in
debted to the late firm. This reused
Mr.. Bowling. aud. accompanied by two
friends, he called on MIR. Smith and &C
cused him of having had no idea of pur-
chasing, and that he bad only been trying
to mud out the names of debtors. This Mr..
Smith denied, claiming that he had in
tended TO buy, but unavoidable circum-
stances had prevented him.
The garnishments will be tried at the
next term Of the city court. The store ha:
been closed. and will remain so until sale
has been effected. Mr.. Bowling blames
Leon Phillips for his trouble, claiming tina
he made misstatenents in regard to th'
status of his purchase.

THE CONTEST IN CANADA.

Had the election Of new parliament
i'll Canada been left to the normal
period, a year later, when the term of
the present body would expire, there
might be fair chance for the success
of the Liberals. This apprehension no
doubt accounts for the hasty vote now
to be had. The manner in which the
Liberals are meeting the issue and the
positions assumed should entitle them
to strong sympathy on this side Of the
line. AT their meetings they boldly de-
nounce the promises Of reciprocity put
out by Sir JOHN Ma CDoNALD as traudu-
lent and delusive. They understand
that the Conservative game is to defeat
enlarged commercial relations by indi-
rection and pretenses. The Liberal
position is that the United States duties
with foreign countries shall be OK
tended to Canada. with the abolition of
custom houses on the dividing lines.
This means discrimination in trade re-
lations in favor of the United States
and adversely to England, and is de-
nounced by the Conservatives as yelled
treason" There is suggestion of the
old bloody shirt business in this Con
servative prating of loyalty TO the queen
and her government. The Liberals do
not profess to be in favor of anneXa ton
or cutting loose from the British en-
pre-. The issue has no sentimental
phase for them. They favor free trade
relations with this country simply as
business matter. They would not be
likely, however, to resist very strongly
any popular disposition that looked to
political union with the United State S
as an ultimate result

CHICAGO, Feb 19.-Master in Chanc-
cry Royesen began taking testimony to
day in the application of w. s. Alley
for the appointment of receiver for
the Louisville, New Albany Il Chicago
railroad. Before the investigation was
fairly commenced. however, it was
agreed to suspend proceedings until
next Monday. III order that the MOnon
people may have a chance to file an
answer to Alleys sensational bill.
President Breyfogle is still in New
York, but is expected TO arrive here
as early as next Monday, Among
dlSinterested railroad men the
opinion prevails that the filing
OF the bill is simply the initial move of
preconceiyed plan that has for is OBJ
iect the OuSting of the present manage
ment of the MOnon. The next annual
meeting Of the company will be held
March IL, and it is said to be the hope
of the dissatisfied stockholders to secure
control of the meeting by working up u
feeling against President Breyfogie and
the present board of directors. The
goSSips say that if the movement is sue
cessful it will result in the re-inStatc-
ment of John b. Carson as president of

New York. Feb. 19.-Referring TO
the published statement that five shares
of Louisville, New Albany u Chicago
stock have been fraudulently placed in
the names of certain directors, Presi-
dent Breyf0gle is quoted as saying:
Some years ago the board OF direc
tors ordered the treasurer to purchase
ten shares of the company's stock for
the purpose of placing one share in the
name of each director. Under the for
mer management, these certificates
stood in the names of MesSrS. Samuel
Sloan, James Roosevelt, ElIhu Root, X.
G.. RolSton and others. When the new
management came in they were simply
transferred to the names OF the new di-
rectors and Immediately endorsed by
them and returned to the treasury of
the company, where they now are. The
object of this is to prevent illegal action
by reason of any failuIe of director to
appear as a stakeholder of record. Were
it otherwise serious accidents might oc-
cur, for an official act depends entirely
upon the legal qualifications of the
actor"

the result of personal inspection, "Mr.

that with a machine costing but $500 he

over the hen product that they never

REFORM MEASURES.

Wisconsin papers commend to their
Legislature the example of the Mime
sofa lawmakers in framing measures to
regulate expenditures by interested
parties in campaigns. 1t is assumed
that the Minnesota bill when passed
will be one of the most comprehensive
and stringent formulated in any quar-
ter. 1t is understood not only to be de-
signed to protect candidates from black
mail and limit their expenditures for
campaign purposes toa few inexpensive
details, but to prevent the improper use
of monies through committees or other
agencies. The requirements of candi-l
dates in the way of subsequent financial
literature are to cover all recognized
party channels. The bill being framed
in Massachusetts requires committees to-
give for publication sworn statements of
all items of expense. The feeling is be-
coming prevalent that there must be a
radical change in this respect if the plu-.
tocratic rule is to be broken down.

MAKES POORER BEER.

The MCKINLEY tariff has apparently
about accomplished its object in the ia
crease OF the duty on barley from 10 to
80 cents q bushel. The aim was to
keep out the II, 100000 bushels or so inn
ported from Canada for the use of the
brewers of beer and ale. The imports
III November were but 1864 bushels
against 2,904,242 in the same months the
year previous. This was not imported
because there was any lack of produc-
ton in this country. The crop ranges
from 10000, 900 to 100000 bushels. and
III addition to meeting the home de-
mand 100000 bushels were exported
In 1889 and more last year. The Cana
dian article has qualities that make it
almost essential to the production of
good beer or ale. The masters paid
about 10 cents bushel more for it than
the home article for this reason. The
tariff has virtually excluded it, but has
not benefited the American grower of
barley. Cheap substitutes are had for
the barley, such as rice, glucose and
other things. The purity of the beer is
compromised and the drinkers are the
sufferers. Some of the temperance
evangelistS have insisted that the poorer
and more pernicious the qualities of the
popular beverages they deprecated. the
more likely people would be to discard
them. If they persisted in their use,
the final result as pictured in their pan
Dramas would be expedited. But as
they admit that it is slow process to
kill with beer. as a matter Of humanity
they should desire to promote the COM
fort of the victims in the meantime.

THE WEEKLY PAYMENT LAW.

The GLOBE does not know whether or
not there is any immediate crying de-
mand in this state for the bill requiring
corporations to pay their employees by
the week. Such laws have been EN-
acted in the East in response to real
necessity and will accomplish a great
deal of good. They have been accom-
panied by simultaneous repeal of gar
nishment laws. The general idea has
been to put it in the power of working
men to pay cash for what they buy and
at the same time disincline shopkeepers
to give credit, The punishment laws
make the shopkeeper willing to trust
his customers, because he feels that he
can attach their pay in case of necessity.
And the laborer has to buy his wares OH
time if he gets his pay only once a
month. The prices he is charged, how
ever, are based on the assumption that
there Will be some loss attending the
system, and some delay and trouble in
collections. 1t would be much bet
ter if he could buy what he
wanted, and that only, and pay for it
what it was really worth in spot
cash. He would then know where he
stood all the time and not suffer the al
formations of momentary recklessness
accompanying full pocketbook and
protracted periods of depressing pow
erty. The GLOBE is the friend of the
workingman and is in favor of legisla-
ton which will save him from himself
and from others who would prey upon
him. If this bill, or any other bill. is
for his good and is at the same time
just and constitutional, the GLOBE Will
support it. But it is little doubtful on
one point. There are d great many hon
est. capable men in Minnesota out of
employment now, and what scant liv-
ing they and their families get is through
the honesty of shopkeepers, who trust
them partly because they have conf
Gence in them and partly because they
are satisfied that if they secure work the
fear of the garnishment law will compel
them to pay their debts. Would it be
quite wise at this time to shape things
so that it would be more difficult for
such people to get credit, as perhaps
would be the case if this bill were en-
acted? The GLOBE does notspeak posi-
lively about it, but only asks the ques-
ton,

A VERY BAD BILL.

A Measure Conceived by a Malo-
dorous Brood of Shyster Law
yerS.
Minneapolis journal.
I The bill before the lower house of the
legislature defining the liability of en-
pIoyers for injuries sustained by their
employees, while ostensibly designed to
benefit workingDen, is conceived and
planned for the advantage of a pack of
damage suit lawyers who fatten upon
tile industry and enterprise and success
of honest men. This malodorous brood
of selfish stirrerS-up of damage suits
care nothing for the Workingman. If
allowed to have their way they would
make employers liable for SO many
things that they would at length shut
up their places of business and leave
their employees worthless and breadless.
In this extraordinary bill these harp
les have, in their long liStof causes"
made it possible to hold the employer
responsible for the stupidity, careless
ness or blundering of every employe in
his establishment. An employer, I'M
der this law, would have to spend three
fourthS of his time in the courts, for the
damage suit prodders would swarm
ABOUT MS employees ana manufacture
personal negligence where it did not
exist.
These unworthy sons of Blackstone
have, in this bill, taken pains to leave
the farmer out of the count. The
farmer can fairly reyel in personal neg
ligeuee. His hired men can break their
arms and legs through his negligence,
but they have no recourse under this
bill. Ii the bill were amended to in
clude farmers it would be defeated
without fail.
To all reasonable responsibility for
negligence the employer ought to be
held. He ought to keep his machinery
in order and take every reasonable pre-
caution against accident; but the en-
ployer has his rights. Fair play is the
basis of all such legislation. The en-
ployer has responsibilities, and heavy
ones, and should be held to all of them,
but to attempt to make him responsible
for other mems faults is only calculated
to do those whom this bill pretends to
aid the most serious damage. A few
suits successfully prosecuted under the
most obnoxious features of this bill
would be sufficient to shut up a great
many establishments and throw lots OF
men out of work.
