SIR EDWIN ARNOLD.


Sir EDWIN ARNOLD. one of the most
distinguished of living men, comes to
St Paul today, and will be our guest
for a little while. The GLOBE COM
mendS him to the courtesy of our peo-
pie, and bespeakS for him a warm well
come. This city does not claim nor as
pire for the present 10 be seat of litera-
ture and the arts, but it is the home of
sturdy race of men and women with
broad human Sympathies. and ready to
do honor to those who have accom-
plished great things in the fields where
they have labored. Our local ideal is
success, and the heroes from our point
of view are the men who having tried
have also achieved.
Sir EDWIN ARNOLD belongs to this
class, and his work is of kind which
appeals peculiarly to minds like ours.
Living III an age when epic poetry
seemed impossible, and when the writ
ers of English verse have debased a no
bic art into jugglery of words without
meaning, counting sound more valuable
than sense, he has produced a great
poem, simple with Homeric simplicity,
throbbing with noble vitality, and sur
charged with the essence OF lofty
thoughts and glorious deeds. Living in
an age when poets are critical rather
than creative, and when men of letters
are went to treat the world with a sort
Of condescension. and to gaze at it as
from a distant height, he has lived
among his fellows, and, like his proto-
type Of the commonwealth period. has
been as active in affairs as fertile with
his pen. Literature owes him a great
debt for his Light of Asia,'' but no
greater one than does contemporary
political thOughtin England for his con-
trIbutiOns to the Daily Telegraph.
The Press club of St. Paul will take
advantage Of his presence here to sug-
gest to him today that it appreciates
what he has done in the profession in
which its members are humber crafts
men. This association is a good one,
made up of an earnest and important
class in the community. ever ready to
further this city'S Interests and to eX-
tend the hand of encouragement to the
deserving and to speak kindly of rhe
ceptiOn to Sir EDWIN ARNOLD is its first
public effort in this direction, aud it is
to be hoped that those who have been
hidden, or who care to be, will con-
tribute by their presence to make it
success. Monday evening Sir EDWIN
will give a reading at the Peoples
church. The proceeds from this VIII go
to the treasury of that institution, than
which there is no worthier in st. Paul,
nor more fruitful III valuable results.
Every man and woman within our Dor
ders who knows of Sir EDWIN ARNOLD
at all admires him; and if all these. as
well as the friends of the Press club and
OF Rev. DIR. SMITH, are present on both
of these occasions, there will be 10 rea-
son to criticise the size or the character
of the gatherings.

THE QUEBEC TROUBLE.

Canadian politics, except as it has
bearing upon the question of annexa-
ton. affords but a languId interest on
this side of the line. But the situation
i'll Quebec has sensational features. and
there are symptoms of an eruption that
will warrant attention. Official probitv
is not so pervasive over there as TO
afford any marked contrast to United
States methods. Each of the provinces
has pretentiOus governmental ma
chine. with a parliament and minis
try. The latter in Quebec seems to
have had thrifty but dubious prac-
tees in portions of its admins
tration. Some time since royal
commission was appointed to lnvesti-
gate the conduct of the cabinet. at the
head of which was MERCER. Its re-
port indicated great corruption. The
members of the cabinet were charged
with taking brides from railway CON-
pany, and a lOoseness with government
funds that requited them by the sum of
$4,000. The lieutenant governor, as
the representative of the crown, in con-
sequence, attempted to remove the
ministry from Office. As there was
no trial, the tainted officials re-
fuse to regard themselves out of
Office. and the opinion is enter
tanned by high authorities that they
are simply in state of suspended ami
nation, as it were, not out of Office, but

THE WAY TO KILL 1T.

No administration organ anywhere is
urging the Republicans Of Louisiana to
improve the opportunity afforded them
to deal the lottery a death blow. 1t is
assumed all the time that, as the Demo
Gratis have become divided over the
question, the Republicans should come
in between and elect their candidates
for state officers. without regard to the
state issue. They would have the party
put forth the usual declarations about
the tariff and other national questions,
but not take any position in regard to
the lottery. The administration could
not afford to give it countenance in
taking sides for the lottery, and to
take the other course would cut it off
from the material aid the lottery COM
panY is ready to dispense to supporters.
The administration processes great
earnestnesS in opposition to the thing,
and spasmodically attempts to drive it
out of business by cutting Off the use of
the mails. Yet not word is heard in
favor of the party taking issue with it
in way to effect its defeat. The adj
vantageS in the way of money and pO-
litical machinery are in the hands of the
lottery forces. The fight against 1t.
which will go until the day of election
next April, is almost a forlorn hope as it
stands. With the aid of the Republicans
II could be made magnificent success.
AT the last election the Republicans
cast 81, 900 votes to about $4,000 Demo
cratic. 1t is not probable that they could
carry the state now, but they could
insure the success of the lottery forces
The congressional act closing the mails
so the iniquity has embarrassed, but ap-
parentiy not seriously crippled it. With
a new lease of life, it will find ways to
evade the general law and go on with
its demoralizing work for quarter of a
century more. If the Republicans are
sincere in desiring its eXtirpation, they
will give their aid to the men who are
fighting it in the only hopeful way.

AS FEARED.

The condition that caused the more
strenuous tariff reform Democrats to
prefer the election of MILLS as speaker
to the successful candidate has III
measure materialized. The Republi-
cans affect to find in it a visible lower
ing of the Democratic standards OH the
great economic issue. 1t is true that
prominence is given men who have not
stood i'll the popular view as the most
aggressive reformers. There will not
be entire patience in the party if the
sturdy champions are put behind those
of less recognized standing. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the speaker fully
meant that there shall be no backward
steps taken. and the Republicans will
be disappointed in their hopes.

THE DEMOCRACY.

A sort of ghoulish glee characteriZes
the comments of the Republican press
OH the fancied differences within the
ranks of the Democracy. Long tele-
grams filled with tIdings of personal
diSappointments are given great promi-
nence OF position and flaming head
lines. Mr.. GoRNAN is painted as a
spectral mower with Il scythe of craft,
cutting down the presidential candi-
dates who are represented as standing
in the way of his own ambitions. Mr..
CLEVELAND never walks OH Broadway,
according to these stories. lest he should
encounter Gov. HILL coming out of the
Hoffman house, for these two do not
speak as they pass by. When Gen.
PALMER rises from his new seat in the
senate to shake hands with a friend it
Is not an act OF courtesy, but to spread
diSmay among his rivals by displaying
the case with which he carries his three
score years and ten. Mr.. MILLS is not
confined to his bedchamber with the grip
but is Sulking in his tent, and commun-
ing with his divine mother as to how he
shall best bring confusion on the Dem
Ocracy because its speaker has dishon-
Ored him. If what we read in these
newspapers is true. Mr.. CRISP has not
constituted the committees of the new
congress according 10 his best judgment
for the effective disposition of public
business, but to reward his friends and
cOnfOund his enemies. Bitterness is
king, and all the party'S leaders are CAP
tainS of guerilla bands, armed for their
mutual destruction and the disruption
of the greater body of which they are
parts.
There are differences of opinion
among Democrats, and many strong
men are striving to be chief. This is
true. and it proves the DemOcracy's vi
tality. The great issues of the hour are
under debate, and a programme is
formulating against the coming cam
paign. Who would not have it so? Is
there any other point from which wis
dom can be drawn than that supplied by
comparison of prevalent views? Is any
body anointed with Superhuman wis
dom, that his dicta should be accepted
and subscribed to without weighing the
conflicting data which different sections
believe so. Our party has always been
the abiding place of freedom of thought.
where every argument based on patriot
ism is listened to. 1t is today more than
ever before in its history the nurse of
national leaders, who would be at the
head of its columns because the march
is to victory. The comments of the
enemy are only the reflection of their
hopes. They are dreaming that per-
chance the matchless discipline which
has not failed us in the past, even when
defeat was inevitable. has somehow
been weakened. But they will be dis
appointed. Whoever is the standard
bearer, and whatever the battle cry, the
DemOcracy'o phalanX will be close
knit i'll 1892, one and unterrified.

Spontaneous Ignition ofCoaI.

Spontaneous Ignition of Coal.
Chambers journal.
An excellent paper ION the Spontan-
eous Ignition of COal'' was read by
Prof. Lewis before the British AssOcia-
ton at their recent meeting at Cardiff.
In this paper the professor points
out that the common idea that spontan-
eOus ignition is caused by the pres
ence of iron pyrites in the coal can not
be true because in many manufactures
pyTiteS are largely used. and, although
stored in heaps and undergoing contin-
uous oxidation, he has been unable to
trace a single case of heating. SpoD-
taneOuS combustion may he more truly
traced to the abSOrptiye power of newly
won coal for oxygen, an action which is
accompanied by great rise of tempera-
ture, and is naturally fastened il the
coal be so stored OH shipboard that a
portion of ii is near the funnel or boilers.
Accidents from this cause are most
numerous i'll ships that have to cross
tropical seas. from the generally in
creased temperature to which the coal
is subjected. Ventilation in many ships
is worse than useless, for it provides
the coal with just sufficient oxygen to
feed it when burning. Moisture is also
an important factor in determining the
ignition of stored coal. Prof. Lewis
says if newly won coal were
stored for a week in moderate-sized
heaps, so as TO allow it to take I'D its
oxygen and cool down after the heating
caused in the process, spontaneous igni-
ton would be almost unknown.

THE HEROIC GIN LIFE.

At a recent local public meeting,
where the believers in the dignity and
. herOiSm of modern manhood had the
floor, various incidents were related
showing that humanity envirOns or pos
sesseS virtues that come out in bright
cOlOrs as eXigencies open the way. A
man who travels by rail great deal
had been led to doubt that much human
feeling was possessed by the average
railroad man and traveller. But he took
trip from Chicago to ST. Paul when
he was crippled and suffering greatly
from an injury. His appearance showed
that he needed aid and cheer.
To his delight and establishment,
trainmen and strangers among the
passengers exhibited all the solic-
itude OF brother about him and
could not do enough to minister to his
comfort. He felt that he was among
sympathetic friends all the time, and
concluded that when the mantle was
lifted there was royal nature in the
average humanity. How often are there
cases where the engineer on q loco
motive meets certain death at his post
rather than peril the lives of the passen-
gers. One day the past week a brake
man on freight car on one of the roads,
while his train was being backed up,
saw poor old woman picking bits of
coal from the track and unobservant of
the approach of the car. Being I'M
able to make ner hear, as the train
neared her he swung from the
car. and. with a tremendous effort.
threw her from the track to safe
ty. but was unable to save himself. The
cruel wheels crushed out his life, and
sent as noble spirit as ever stood at
the stake or faced a belching cannon to
the rewards of Christly sacrifice. 9th
ers have died for faith, a country or
friends; but this humble brakeman,
with royalty of soul that lifts human
ity high upward, gave bis life for an
unknown and lowly woman. In these
Christmas times it is we'll to remember
that goodness and heroism may be COW
cred by very humble garments and
found in unexpected conditions of life.
