A NEW

LEFTY LIND, of the London Gaiety
company, is not to be ranked low in the
humber OF public benefactors. She ill.,
vented a new pleasure, the hardest of
all things to devise. The skirt dance,
as developed by her nimble feet, was a
distinct addition to the number of arts.
II her merry and graceful movements
have begulled with much satisfaction
many an evening for weary people on
both sides of the ocean,. She combines
harmony with modesty, and while her
professional lmltatorS, who have an
peared on our local boards, have done
a good deal to bring her work into dis
credit, it seems as though they have
not succeeded in doing so entirely. In
response to the suggestion her perform
anceS gave, a new social fad has come
into existence which promises to be en-
tertainlng. indeed. A number of Young
women of good appearance and respect
able antecedentS skilled as dam
GERS are now available for employment
at private parties. In the midst of the
other pleasures of the evening thev
Will dance a bit with decorum, and at
the same time with abandon for the
amusement of the guests. Such a feat
ure will afford Il welcome break in the
conventional programmes on such occa-
sions. but that is not all there is to it.
In addition to dancing themselves, these
young women teach other people to
dance as they do. and it is reported that
hereafter that class of beings known as
society girls" will add to their other
social attractions, facility with their
feet, and the knowledge of the fancy
dances which do not demand short
skirts or un%becoming exposures of the
person. Besides the singing society
girl and the gia~no-playing society girl,
there will henceforth be the dancing So
ciety girl, by which will be meant the
society girl who dances after the LEFTY
LIND recipe. She will surely be very
welcome if she does anywhere nearly
as we'll as her model.

AN OLD DELHSJON.

in one of the publications conducted
by women, a housewife enters an
earnest protest against the early rising
doctrine. She speaks in behalf of the
workers of her sex, and insists that they
need rest. IF a woman feels tired and
languid i'll the morning and hates to get
up, it is a sure sign that she is over
doing and wearing out. Six O'Clock is
as early as any N ought to get up and
go to work" The old PHILOSOPHERS of
life were strong on early rising. One of
the earliest passages recalled was in the
line of the Ben FRANKLIN maXims, and
it had its fantastic illustration in the
routing of all the inmates of the old
farm house at 4 O'Clock in summer and
5 in winter. The memory shivers with
the recollection of those grotesque
eraS when the half-awake young
sterS sat about fretfully in the
dismal light of the single candle. A
distinguished preacher in Illinois re-
Gently deceased made 4 o'clock the grim
and invariable rule for driving all sleep
from the house, but his theology savored
of the same dismal regimen. Judge

days the barbarous practice was in
vogue of requiring all students to attend
public deyotlons long before daylight,
and supplement- these with an hours
recitation before breakfast. Somehow
the delusion was prevalent that there
was sanitary virtue in getting out and
inhaling the air before the sun had dis
sipated the dews and malaria. That
has gone with the notion that the ami
mails that fancy an early breakfast on
worms are examples for rational human
beings. Better sense has realized that
the inclinationS for the matutinai
doZe are reasonable endowments and
may be gratified without detriment.
What stalwart head of the domestic
fortress has not felt the luxury of re-
pose and the highest sweets OF dream
land after the wife has risen to build
the fire and prepare the morning meal?
The final call to the table m only
too soon. He feels the absurdity of the
old style practices of the fathers. He
does not regard it as respectful, either, to
the light of the world or the house to
rise first. There is. however, probably
little occasion for special instruction to
the coming generation upon the impro-
priety of early rising. The lesson is
learned with ease and perfect willing
ness. Few are in danger of acquiring
habits Of rising too early.

BARON HIRsCH.

In the sorrowful story of the Russian
persecution Of the Jews the philan
thropy of Baron HIRscH stands out by
way OF brilliant and encouraging con-
trast. The ~anti-Semitic edicts of the
car drive the Hebrews from his Dor
ders, but the generosity of the English
banker mitigates the difficulties and
hardships of their exile. Baron HIRscH
is a very rich man, estimated to be
worth s1oo, 000, 600 or more. He is well
advanced in years, has 10 children, and
now for a considerable part of his life
has been distributing his accommodations
before his death in intelligent works of
charity. His contributions to the aid of
the evicted people of his own race are in
the form of a fund of SIS, 0Q0, 900, which
is to be used in settling them in diff
terent parts of America, where they may
engage, without molestation, in peace

field of colonization is to be South

ONLY PLEASANTLY.

A Chicago journal of the wonted
amicable demeanor and suave speech of
the locality is greatly shocked that 1.-THE
Sage of Hastings" as it terms u volu-
bic and intrepid IGNATIUs, should use
severity of speech. In a recent debate
on his favorite line with Prof. FREE
MAN he is alleged to have assailed the
yeracity of the champion of SHAKE
sPEARE in the impressive brevity of the
rude and angry street controversy. But
the Chicago critic is hasty in the CON
clusion that a loss of temper or of dig
nifty is had in the case. Calling his OPP
ponent a liar is a pleasantly that gives
spice to the arguments of the distin-
gulShed gentleman. 1t may be a triAe
monotonous at times, but it aids to
cross difficult passages. In the debate
owe BACON and SHAKESPEARE it will
give needed vivacity. There is no NAL
ice in it.

HURRAH FOR HYPOCRISY.

The New York Sun and the other
Eastern papers publish in full a great
speech delivered by IGNATIUs Don
NELLY. Of this state. at the Cincinnati
convention on the political issues of the
day. The burden of his song is the de-
cision of the supreme court of the
United States in the Minnesota milk
rate case, where it was held that rail-
roads were entitled to their day in court
like anybody else. DoNNELLY declares
that this is a crying shame and a men
ace to national liberty. His reason for
thinking so is because the courts of the
land are so corrupt that no justice can
be had from them. He is awfuIly Sc
we're on men like MELVILLE w. Full
LER, STEPHEN j. FIELD, JOSEPH P.
BRADLEY, SAMUEL BLATCHFoRD and
the others who wea the judicial ermine
at Washington. They are all the
creatures of the railroads, in his
opinion, and he thinks that the
only way to free our people from the
accursed grasp of monopoly is to leave
the regulation of our quasi public cor
porations, without restriction, to the
Legislators of the state and nation. Don
NELLY knows that in such case the
problem will be wrestled with fear
lessly and honestly, because he himself
Is a legislator. He knows that bribery
and corruption play no part in the halls
OF legislatures, although, of course, they
are very potent in our judicial tribunals.
This is valuable expert testimony, and
worthy of all men to be believed. Don
L himself was chairman Of the
railroad committee in our own state
senate this winter. During the entire
session this committees meetings did
not cover all hours time, and the chair
man never called its members together
except at such short notice or at such a
time that he must have known they
could not attend. Not a Single con-
Structlye measure on this great uues-
ton emanated from this ~incorruptibie
champion of the people during the
ninety days he sat as a representative
in our state capitol. This proves be-
yond dispute that If you want to have
the railroad problem solved honestly,
completely, promptly and finally you
want to leave it to Jul Legislators with
out any restrictions. Hurrah for hum
Duggery and hypocrisy.

THE FINAL G

There is no reason to doubt that
Lieut.. TOTTEN, U. S. A., who is an in
structor of military tactics at Yale, is
an honest believer in his discovery of
the cryptogramS in the ancient scrip
lures, and the Book of Esdras, point
ing to the early conclusion of the pres
ent mundane condition. Possibly his
connection with the army affords some
what of an official character to his state
ments. He would have the world go
n a big sweet in about a year, and IN
seven years the grand catastrophe will
ensue. AS far as he has unfolded the
programme it seems that the millenial
period is then to be inaugurated, and
all the black sheep in the moral flock
are to be eliminated. He will develop
the details later. He is now wrestling
with the interesting general fact that
he has struck the key that has
slipped out of the grasp of people at
various times in the past eighteen cent
urles. His mathematics, from a dozen
starting points. concur in the common
date, which is quite important, if true.
His data, however, seem to require the
assumption that ADAM inaugurated the
human race less than 5000 years ago,
which modern thought has been moving
away from. When the Christian system
first crystalliZed into a church it was
the inspiring belief common in its men,
bership that in that generation would
come the second advent, and it has been
dated a number of times in other peri
ode Nonu nrran eth Ifui,r roao1I
eraS where thousands of mistaken peo-
pie abandoned their avocations, often
giving away their property, by a singu-
lar freak. and sat with eyes look
ing up into irresponsible skies.
The new ~discoverer is likely TO
have a following and attract a good
deal of attention in the absence of other
eXcitements. But it is unwise for those
%nerVously inclined to follow his explain
ations. The superstitious feeling so
common might easily induce the unre-
fecting to see with him next year, in
notable events, the inception of the
v years of turbulent prelude. For
instance, if the peoples party" should
elect the president, and his name should
be IGNATIUs DONNELLY, 1t might be
easily credited that the divine wrath
was to have unwonted play, and people
should want the rocks and mountains
to cover them. Still, if the world was
to wind up in this decade, celestial wis
dom and mercy would keep the veil
drawn closely up to the final act. An
assured date a few years away would
at once threw the world into turmoil.
StagnatiOn would have the field in all the
activities. Some would become dement,
ed and others would let all their vicious
dispositions loose, expecting to wash in
some Jordan at the last moment. But,
really, it is not of much moment to the
individual whether the world collapses
in eight or eight thousand years. A
fifth of the population of the globe will
md the end of the world in eight years.
When life terminates, as it may to any
individual in far less time, the event is
quite as important to such as any of the
Incidents suggested by Prof. TorTEN or
others whu are able to solve the I'M
movable.

THE KENTUCKY CAPTURE.

The attempts to break UP the career of
ScHwEINFURTH, the Illinois Messiah,
have apparently been utilized to make
proselyteS to the new faith. The recent
dispatches report him in Kentucky
preaching his doctrines so powerfully
as to convert nearly all the congrega-
ton of a Methodist church. 1t possessed
not only a neat church edifice but a new
school house, and the account indicates
that both were given to the Lord as per-
sonated by the Illinois fellow. Ken
lucky is not a state where the people
jump at novelties, whether in religion
or other relations. If the Illinois claim
ant can capture churches in Kentucky
as a body. it is not surprising that
women in other sections can be fascin-
ated or hypnotiZed into becoming angels
in his paradise. The religious phenom-
II are hard to accountfo for at times.

AN ILLINOIS AsPIRANT.

A recent convocation is reported at
the home of Senator CULLoM, of Hi
nois, to receive the proper inspiration
and devise methods to put before the
public a boom for the imam who looks
like LINCOLN" for the Republican
nomination for president. 1t is claimed
that the gentleman can swing the dele
CATION from his state in the convention.
This movement evidently presumes
that BLAINE is not to be in it. In that
event it is probable that CULLoM can
name the choice of his party in his
state. 1t had no love for HARRISON in
1888, when it wanted GRESHAM, and
the QuarrelS Of its senators with the
president rel patronage left spots not
healed. This movement of the Illinois
senator will instigate the bringing out
of the little booms that Others have on
hand. CULLoM is a smaller man
Intellectually than HARRISON, but
he is a better politician, and
has the prestige of good luck. In fact,
while he has held Office almost c%ontinu-
ously since 1860, it is asserted that he
has never been defeated. He fell into
the Republican camp on the disappear
ance of the Know Nothing party in 1860,
was elected to the legislature, made
speaker, then congressman, governor
and senator, and now he would be pres
ident, trusting that his run of luck will
keep on. His strength is in the skill he

THE BIBULoUs POSTURE.

The clergymen of Massachusetts, were
all invited to preach last Sunday in op-
position to a bill that seemed likely to
pass the legislature changing the re-
quirement that all liquor must be alb
sorbed sitting at q table, so as to allow
the erect bar pose. The in vestigation
had before the legislative committee
shows that there was more liquor drunk
in Boston last year sitting than ever be-
fore in the unrestricted way. But the
Boston Traveller tells the Republicans
In the Legislature that if they allow the
bill to pass 5000 Republicans will de-
sert the party at the next election. If
it is shown that more liquor is drunk
sitting, the question of posture must be
a matter of etiquette or aesthetics rather
than principle. 1t is difficult to keep
track of thu peculiarities of some classes
of reformerS.

America. and the plan is for a large
number of them to take up farms in the
Argentine Republic and neighboring
states. The money which Baron HIRsCH
gives is not to be taken as a gratuity,
but is to be advanced in such a way that
it may be used again when repaid for
similar objects in the future. The Jew
ish farmers are the particular objects of
his bounty, and he will aid them in the
difficult beginnings OF life in a new
country and the struggle with nature.
The Jews make good citizens and will
prosper in America as they have wher-
ever else they have lived. 1t is a grand
subject of contemplation to look on one
man offsetting by his own %recourses and
high-minded goodness the cruelty and
inhumanity of the whole MuscovIte en-

AN INCOME TAX.
An Old Republican Favors It.
Real Estate Tax Unequal.

An Old Republican FavOPS IT,
Real Estate Tax Unequal.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Referring to your article in the GLOBE
of 22d in reference to the correct mode
of taxing the people for support of the
government, L beg to take exception to
your proposition. l think, as l think
most of the working people think, that
the first and larger part of the tax
needed for support of the general gov
eminent should be levied on incomes of
the citizens and residents who have the
money. Therefore we think that the
right principle for taxation is to levy
a tax On yearly incomes, and let
the rates of taxation be so
arranged that it shall only touch heay-
lily those who can afford it. An income
of 81, 900 should pay a light tax, S3,O o
should pay a larger per cent, $4,000 still
larger, $1,000 still larger, and so on
until an income of 500 JOG and Overpaid
about 5 per cent. Tax levied on real
estate is in principle always unequal
INT unjust, for the reason that the as
SCISSOR values The property at what it
ought to bring on sale, whereas, if the
owner was obliged to sell he conld not
get the price valued at. And, further.
most of the real estate in the country
returns no income whatever, and
a poor person owning a lot and
small house, which the assessor
may value at $500. has to work
to earn means to live on. and if business
is dull and wages low. can scarcely
earn enough To satisfy the hunger OF
himself and family and not have enough
to paythe tax on his lot amounting toS40
or $50. Whereas, his good friend may
possibly have a room with him-lives
easily without work-and has an income
of $1,000 to $1,000 from stocks and bonds,
and has no tax to pay, although per-
fectly able to pay it.
We had income taxlevied by the party
in power when they were young and
yirtuous-which was abated when the
Republican party became the feature of
trusts, and was corrupted by the money
of the capitalists ana sold the interests
of the people to keep themselves in
power.

WASHINGTON. May 24.-There has
been considerable changing around of
seats in the senate chamber. Senator
Colquitt, of Georgia, has pre-empted
Senator Joe Browns seat. right in the
front row of the Democratic side, and
next to the main aisle. Mr.. Carlisle
goes to Reagan's place-the old Beck
seat-in the second row, facing the vice
president. Mr.. Brice gets Col
Quits old seat in the rear
brow of the Democratic side. and
Hill gets the next one to
that-Hampton'S. Gordon, of Georgia,
will occupy Bates former place, and the
TennesSeean will move around to the
one to be vacated by Faulkner, of West
Virginia. The new senator from Louisi-
ana, Mr.. White, who succeeds Mr.. EustiS,
will sit where Mr.. Payne. of Ohio, had a
desk, and Mr.. Palmer. of Illinois, will
be a close neighbor of Mr.. Barbour on
the outside row. On the Republican
side the shifting has been as marked.
Washburn succeeds in Ingalls, seat.
Malcott goes down from a back seat to
the place vacated by Mr.. Spooner, and
Mr.. Dixon, of Rhode Island, will occupy
the chair 500 TO be vacated by Senator
Edmunds. The Kansas statesman,
PETER, has been awarded an extreme
right hand corner seat, lately occupied
by Senator Allen.

Perhaps it is an illustration of the an
cient adage that perseverance accom-
plishes the most difficult tasks, as they
were struggling for this recognition
when Gen. BLACK was operating the
bureau, butthey could not get past him.
Even TANNER refused to recognize their
claims. Says the Tribune: "These
men are to draw pensions for the rest
OF their lives for 100 days play in
Washington, in which they never fired
a shot and never saw a rebel, and in
which not one of them was even
sick" Whether there is any statute
that recognizes the To-day men
who did not 20 into active service az
within the possible pension range, or
not, these men had no disability in
CURED during the period of their en-
listment, and the fact that they are put
on the pension rolls should induce the
most rigid inquiry into the management
of the department. The Tribune IN
sists that fully one-fourth of the names
now drawing pensions are there wrong
fully, and should be taken off. That is
believed to be a very moderate estimate.
The pension list ceases to be a roll of
honor when it is gorged with the men
who have earned no place there.
