ONE POINT TO CRITICIsE.

The GLOBE is compelled, however, to
except one sad soiled page in the COM
mittee's record from this wholesale,
yard-wide and all-wool encomum, and
to say that it cannot altogether approve
of Mr.. CORDENIO A. SEVERANCE's per-
sistent probing of the woman episode
in the investigation during the absence
Of Mr.. WILLIAM W. ERWIN. The read
ers of this paper will remember that in
the midst of much that was prosaIc and
disheartening the committees faithful
inquiries were illumined one day by the
lovely name of WON n. A witness in
the box. having told all that he had ever
heard about everything else, reluctantly
admitted that he also knew something
about woman. TELL it," sternly COM
manded CORDENIo A. SEVERANCE. II
shan't," said the witness. You SHALL"
said CoRDENIO a. SEVERANCE, now
fully reused TO the spirit of cross-exami-
nation. Tell il or I'll have the law on
you"
Mr.. SEVERANCE was undoubtedly
right in the position he thus assumed, and
the GLOBE has no fault to find with
him forit. The whole committee agreed
with him that, if the witness knew any
thing about a woman, he must be COM
PEELED to make it public. The attorney
general. who was quickly sent for,
agreed with Mr.. SEVERANCE and the
whole committee that if there was a
woman hidden anywhere in the wheat
pile. the official stenographer should
havea chance to take her photograph.
The news rapidly spread through the
capitol as TO what was going on, and the
supreme bench and all the states
executive officers, crowding into the
committee room, unanimously agreed
with Mr.. SEVERANCE, the whole COM
mittee and the attorney general that the
happiness of the commonwealth, as
we'll as of the eagerly expectant audi
ence there present, demanded full de-
tails about any woman scrape the wit
ness was capable of telling.
With such Endorsement Mr.. SEVER
ANcE, the GLOBE repeats, was I'M
dOubtedly right in his position, but the
point it criticises is this: Mr.. WILLIAM
w. ERWIN was absent during all this
excitement, and out of the reach of tele-
phone. The GLOBE is of the opinion
that Mr.. CoRDENIo a. SEVERANCE
should not have been so urgent under
the circumstances. and should have
cOurteously waited until the Pine
Tree could have appeared on the scene.
Many weary hours had the spring
| breezes blown through his foliage as he
sat in the committee room listening to
nothing more entertaining than annals
of stolen or fire-burned wheat. Was he
not entitled, after such heavy labor, to
hear this testimony which promised to
be as salacious as it was irrelevant?
The GLOBE thinks so, and so did the
committee. 1t checked Mr.. CoRDENIo
A. SEvERANCE's unwarranted eager
ness, and adjourned till such time as Mr..
WILLIAM w. ERWIN could be found.

A GREAT TIME COMING.

Here are some figures from Brad
streets which are of the profOundest
interest to every man who lives in Min
nesOta and feeds upon its vital air.
The grand total product of the wheat
fields of the United States for the year
1891 will amount to something in the
neighborhood of OO,OOO,OOO bushels.
OF this, there will be required to sat-
isfy the demands of domestic cOnsump-
ton 800, 010, 900 bushels or Whereabouts,
and 55,000,O0O more for seed purposes
against another season.
Accurate and reliable adyices show
that Europe, with the exception of Rus
STA, will produce 2SS,O00.OOO bushels less
than will be needed for use in her own
markets, and that this deficit will have
to be made up by drafts on the coun-
tries which will have surplus.
These will be Russia, which can sup
ply her own needs and export 1OO,OOO,-
600 bushels; India. which can export
10000, 600, and the United States, which
can export 14O,OOO.OOO bushels. Grant
ing that all these figures are true, Eu-
rope will take all that the world will
have to offer her, and still fall more
than 2O,00O.OOO bushels short Of what the
needs of her people ask for.
Meanwhile the skies are bright over
our glorious commonwealth, and the
rain has fallen i'll full and timely show
ers. The earth promises to give her in
crease in glad plenty, and farm lands
are selling at a figure unheard of in half
a score of years. We oil our moving
machines to meet a rich harvest, the
railroad companies are equipped for I'M
wonted traffic, and the banks are ac-
cumulating a surplus because it will be
needed to move the crops. We are on
the threshold of year of great local
prosperity; and forgetting the past we
take off our coats, spit on our hands and
give long and strong pull all to-
gether, with courage and hope against
the future,

A SUSPICIOUS DEMAND.

1t mag be doubted that the importu-
nate demand by a local Republican
sheet, that the smudge and not the
screen shall be used in the great scandal
in Philadelphia, is melted by the high
est devotion to probity and the good
name of the community that has signal
lied itself for attachment to the party
that puts moral cOnceitS OH its banners.
Banks have been wrecked, and million
and quarter or more of public funds
have taken dishonest rontes. One man,
for whom no shelter was practicable,
has been sent to confinement for fifteen
years and sentenced to pay fine of
half-milliOn dollars. He had eonfeder-
ates of high station and unbroken veneer
as far as the public has seen. They are
unpleasantly termed Brahmius, whited
sepulchers and other terms of APP
parent distrust. BARDsLEY went
to his immurement alone, and the
averment is that he is entitled to
the company of some whom it would
greatly disturb the public serenity to
have named. He wrote narrative re-
lating to the transactions of which he is
the scapegOat, believed to be of the
most enllyening interest to the people
of Philadelphia and good many others.
This was suppressed. 1t was full OF
facts and personalities which would
make things uncomfortable for various
people. Suspicion hOvers about hon
ored heads, and may do wrong to the
untainted. AS sequence of this line
of thought. the demand is deliberately
formulated that the clOakS shall be torn
off and the smothering business entirely
abandoned, regardless of what losses
may ensue to the ranks of reform
and lofty profession. This all looks
honest and sincere, with no ele-
ment of personal feeling. But
under it is the conviction that wanna
MAKER will be among the victims that
will fall hardest. 1t is not quite evil
dent why there should be such will
ingness to see the good man brought
down and wrenched out of the public
confidence. Perhaps it is the natural
0utcTOpping of the human disposition.
With the anticipation that the paragon
would be disqualified for most of his
present spheres, the jaundiced-hearted
still demand that the illumination shall
take place. This is sad, weepfully sad,
for WANAsIAKER has never denied that
he was truly good man. His favorit-
ism with the preternaturallY discerning
was such that he was impelled to draw
out of the doomed bank all funds en-
trusted to him as the treasurer of char
tiles and Sunday schools, while the less
favored had no suspicion of the hasten
ing catastrophe. The protecting man
tie or angelic whisper has repeatedly
came to the rescue of the truly good.
Rar} has any man displayed greater
versatility in operating business, re-
ligion and politics as lucrative trinity.
He has provoked the jealousy of the ig-
noble, but it would scatter pangS like
electric shocks to see the exposure
called for accomplish its malignant
work.

THE FORT SMELLING GAME

To the Editor of the Globe.
FORT SMELLING, ORDNANCE DE-

IT GROWS BITTER.

An indication of the bitterness and
intensity of the feeling being engen-
dered in the struggle in Louisiana over
the constitutional extension of the life
of the great lottery is afforded in the re-
ported speech of Rev. DR.. PALMER, of
New Orleans, on the subject. DR..
PALMER has wide repute as an orator
and theologian, and represents one of
the most conservative schools. The
local report of his speech says he ''com-
pared the lottery company to syndi-
cate chartered to propagate leprosy; to
a university established to teach the ad-
vantage of lying and stealing; to an or
ganizatiOn for thuggery; and, warming
up to his theme, and fired by the raptu-
rous applause of his audience. he clasSed
it with the Malta which the people of
New Orleans had so recently and so
righteously stamped out in blood"
That sort of invective naturally
shocked the dispassionate and order
loving citizens and papers of the con-
sentative and heightened community.
Every hand that holds lottery money
was raised in holy horror. The wave
of indignation set afioat flooded
most of the older and leading
papers. The Times-Democrat is sadly
panied by the conviction ''that it
is the indulgence in such incendiary
language by such influential citizens as
himself. far more surely than the rechar-
tering Of the state lottery, that will be
likely to verify his vaticination that in
one-half of twenty-five years from now
every Louisianian-- able to leave the
state will abandon it." The state is
filled with dire forebodings that with
such exasperating opposition ''every
parish will be camp and every neigh
borhood battlefield; the state will be
drenched with blood; immigration will
tnrn away from her fruitful fields; cap
ital will fly from her borders, and Lou
isiana will be simply ruined during this
generation, at least" 1t is easy to see
that an institution that can spend a
million of dollars to secure the privilege
of paying an annual tax of a million and
a quarter is able to find the price of
many people and institutions that are
well up in the social grades. But the
element for which DR.. PALMER talks
excites admiration for its fearless de-

ANOTHER ST. ANTHONY LINE

So the Editor of the Globe:
A few days ago your paper comment
ed upon the Importance of lateral line
on ST. Anthony hill. The article was
very timely, as such line is of vast i'm
pOrtance to complete the admirable sys-
tenn of transit which we now have.
Persons living in the vicinity of
Grand or Selby avenues have every COIL
yenience for reaching the city that they
can ask for, but it is different with
those living seven or eight blocks south
of Grand avenue. There is no way to
reach the city exec pit walking half
: mile or more, or. for those who live near
the short line, the latter may help them
6 some. But the short line goes at long
intervals and helps US OUT but little. A
lateral line as suggested by You would
be of vast benefit TO those living on
Z either side of the line for distance OF
four or five blocks. A line running, say
Oh Lexington avenue by way of st.
Clair street, would help out several
hundred families in the matter of tran
sit living east aud west of Lexington,
which would increase to several thou
sand in the course of a few years. The
people in that vicinity would heap vol
umes of blessings upon you, if by stir
ring up the matter in your influential
paper you would succeed in having such
a line constructed.

ADJOURNED TILL WINTER.

The GLOBE regrets sincerely that Its
columns will not be enlivened during
the rest of the summer by the record OF
what the notwithstanding committee
has done and left undone, which APP
peared for so many consecutive morn
ings III its pages. and with which its
readers became so familiar. But even
acrObats and comic opera singers, who
receive large salaries for amusing the
public, have to rest occasionally, and it
is not to be expected that our none too
robust statesmen can keep up a side
splitting performance of this character
without some intervals of relaxation.
Private information received at this
Office enables the GLOBE 10 say that all
the members of the committee have
now arrived at their respective homes
in safety, and are prepared, as far as
the distractions of their domestic lives
will permit, to ruminate through the
warm weather over the evidences of
moral obliquity at Duluth which have
been revealed to them by their labols.
The press of the state is inclined to
make light of this legislative side show,
but the end is not yet, and perhaps
when the research is resumed in Janu-
airy next depths of infamy yet I'M
dreamed of may be opened to the
general gaze. If they are not, it will be
because there are no such depths, and
not because the committee is capable of
any lack of zeal in probing every yawn-
ing abyss to its remOtest corners. Up
to this point nothing has eluded the in
quiring tongues of WILLIAM w. ERWIN
and CORDENIO A. SEVERANCE, ana
those witnesses who have escaped the
box without telling all they know, not
only about wheat, but also about every
thing else, may rest confident that they
will be recalled in the winter for further
examination. So vigorous yearning to
learn the truth, the whole truth and
everything else as we'll as the truth. is
worthy of popular recognition; and the
GLOBE here places on the brOws of the
committee and its eminent counsel
wreaths of icicles, as appropriate to the
season and in token that their faithful
labors are appreciated.

A RTT OF HUMBUG.

A protection organ INDUCES in very
pretty bit of taffy to Mrs. President
HARRISON, over the rule she is alleged
to have adopted to allow no scrap of
foreign goods to be used in refurnish
ing and decorating the White house, I'M
less it is impossible to get anything in
this country that can be used. Mrs.
HARRISON Is an amiable lady, and, no
doubt, a thrifty manager about the
house. 1t is geutlemanly and patriotic
to say complimentary things of her. but
there is no special occasion to eulogiZe
her or any one else for the rule credited
to her. 1t would not be decorous to
think of her indulging in cheap bun
combe, but some have thought that of
the political sex in similar exhibitions.
Mrs. HARRISON does not take a cent
out of the family pocket in pay
ment for these improvements, and,
as an agent for the people. it
is her business to save money
by not paying more than needful for the
improvement of the property of the
people. 1t has not been intimated that
she has ever applied the proscriptive
rule in her family purchases. Her
daughter and daughter-in-law are just
now taking in the pleasant things in
Europe, and, If they do not lay in a

feeling walters and buying things, when
the political humbuggery about the
White house would dictate the reten-
ton of the money in this country.
1t is all sham and pretense. Then
where does the reciprocity come
in? HARRISON has protested to
adopt tins fad. 1t is claimed as the
great achievement of the administra-
ton that the way to enlarged mutually
in traffic has been opened with the
South Americans. The greatest and
most prosperous nations have been the
broadcast in their commercial relations.
The spirit of progress and fellowship
leads to greater freedom of traffic. The
administration is begging Germany and
France TO abate their exclusiveness and
let in the American hog and beef.

still for a thousand years, while new civ
