SENATOR SHERMAN.

It was clear enough that il the mass
or Ohio Republicans could have any in
1uence over the legislators. Sherman
would be chosen; but it appeared to be
doubtful whether they could be heard
i'll the ain OF the Foraker boom. After
many OF the Republican representatives
had an opportunity to learn the wishes
of their constituents, the defeat of For
aker became certain and easy.-Milwau-
kee Sentinel.
1t is certain that no more aggressive
night was ever made by the minority
wing OF party in Ohio than was made
under the leadership of Foraker against
the nomination of Sherman. 1t is now
clear that a mistake was made in the
conduct of this campaign on the part
OF the Foraker managers. On the other
nand those who rejoice in the success of
senator Sherman will remember with
satisfaction and pride that the conduct
or MS campaign was ereditable to the
candidate and to the party.-Chicago
Inter Ocean.
The defeat of ex-Gov. Foraker and
the selection of John Sherman for SEN
ator by the Republicans of the Ohio
legislature have other aspects than that
OF mere party politics. The contest was
matching of strength between two
men VINO are essentially different in
composition and methods of warfare.
Foraker, bold, dramatic, audacious and
empty as a jug in harvest field; Sher-
man, cold, calculating, vigilant, moving
In groove, almost without variation
these two men afford violent contrast.
Inc result OF this contest shows, as
other similar contests have shown, the
superiority of tactical politics over i'm
petuoSlty and bull-calf finesse.-Chi-
cago News.
Should JohnSherman live TO finish his
next senatorial term he will have spent
torty-hve years in public life. Already
thlrty-eight years have ELAPSED since he
hrst entered congress. and during all
that time there has not been a month
when he did not draw pay from the pub
TIC treasury, receiving an annual sal
airy OF 5000. For the remainder of his
ellie his visible income has been the mod
crate pay OF congressman or senator,
$1,000 year. Though obliged to main,

resources and so sagaciously improved
the opportunities for conservative in

ADANGhR THREATENED

The duty on tin plate imposed in the
MCKINLEY act will hardly be repealed
Just yet in the face of Republican
senate and president, but the recent
presentation by the canning interest of
the depressing effect of the tax upon
their great industry will add to the pop
ular diSfavOr which besets it. The i'm
preston will grow that it is rot wise or
just TO tax the people to establish new
Industry If this process threatens to i'm
pair an important one already estab-
iished. A point of interest to Gamers
and farmers was developed at meet
ing of manufacturers of tin plate in
South Wales recently. The sugges-
ton that the mills should shut
down until the excess of the
Immense stock sent to this country in
anticipation of the tariff was worked
OIL was met with the argument that
the better course would be to induce
increased consumption of tin plate by
making the prices as low as possible
and devising new uses. The point
specially pressed WAS that as it was at
tempted to Shut out tin plate from this
country, there should be reciprocity in
furnishing competition with American
canned goods in the markets of the
world. This was to be effected by
starting the canning industry in coun-
tries where fruit and meat can
be more cheaply canned than in
America" There is no apprehen-
sion that England will impose
duties on the canned foodstuffs sent
from this country. The consumers in
that country would be the chief suffer
ers, as they woull have to pay more for
their supplies. The only effect upon
the shippers would be from a somewhat
lessened demand. There would be dan
ger in the carrying out of the PROPOSE
ton of the Wales meeting, for, with the
Increased cost of tinware in this coun-
try, the fruit and meat Gamers won Id
be unable to compete, unless they could
cut down the prices paid the farmers
for the products to can. 1t does not
become easier to see where the tinpIate
duty is working out good results to the
people.

sENAToR HILL SWORN IN.

Yesterday the oath of office was taken
by Senator DAVID B. HILL, of New
York. The mention of his name will
recall to Republicans the governor who
remained on guard while the legal in
tereSts of the Empire state were threat
ened by political schemes that for thirty
years have controlled one or the other
of the branches of the legislature. Sen
ator Hill. was cordially received
by the Democratic members of the
senate, and graciously escorted to
the desk of Vice President MORTON by
his Republican colleague, Senator HIS
COCK. mathematical of the FLOWER
whom Senator HILL left in the guber-
material chair of New York, the floral
offerings upon Senator HILLS desk
were rich, rare and profuse. The best
of good feeling pervaded the scene of
his admission to the senate. The echo
OF Republican clamor against him seems
to have failed utterly to reach the city
of magnificent distances. Within the
limits of sixty seconds the courageous
and energetic ex-governor was indicted
into full senatorial honors. ScurrilOus
Republican phillipics and frantic OPPOSE
ton of Republican partisan organs had
fallen as harmless as the patter Of an
April.Shower upon an American tin"
roof. SO endeth lesson for New York
state that it has been long time learn
ing.
Now that the vast quantity of priut-
er's ink devoted to Senator Hill. is
proved to have been wasted. it is a
proper occasion to inquire into the an
linus of senseless Republican attacks.
Senator HILL has been accused of de-
serting his seat IN the senate to further
partisan interests in New York. The
recent decision of the court of appeals
shows the baselessness of such an ac-
cusation. As governor of New York,
HILL could consistently assist in the
preparation of a case brought to pro-
tect the legal political rights of the
state, whose interests were his to pro-
tect. As a United States senator che
would have been powerless to have
even advocated the right against the at
tempted Republican wrong. Fortified
by the courage of his convictions he re-
manned in the gubernatorial chair and
held Republican rapacity in check.
Lastly, the GLOBE would respectfully
ask: What has any other United States
senator, Republican or Democrat. occu-
pying his seat. and drawing salary and
mileage, accomplished since the OPEN
ing of the Fifty-second congress? Has
any high sense of official duty inter-
fered with their holiday dolce far niente?
What momentous piece of federal leg
iSlation has gone by default on account
of the absence of Senator HILL? What
official duties has he shirked that all
have not avoided? The GLOBE wishes
the senate prosperous session, while
congratulating it upon the valuable ac-
QUESTION of Senator DAVID B. HILL.

A SHORT CUT

One OF the characteristic features of
municipal politics in New York when
the various factions were more evenly
matched than they are at present. was
the uncommon zeal with which an
Officeholder once eArenched clung to
his position, even after his successor
had been elected and qualified. No
matter Row overwhelming the majority
against him, by the advice of counsel
he always declined To surrender. and
respectfully referred all inquirers to
such and such section of the charter
eS amended by such and such an act of
the legislature of saeh and such wear
where might be fonnd full legal author
lty for his continued incumbency. Then
followed In every instance a rich
shower of Scire faciases, certioraris

eats, and eXeatS, and after year or two
OF the most gratifying confusion, the
court OF last resort was reached. and

Rightly belonged to him.

LEAP YEAR LOGIC.

AS this is leap year New Yorz's Madi-
son Square Diana is entitled to speak
for herself.-Chicago Herald.
This being leap year it is now per-
fectly proper for Minneapolis to propose
to st. Washington Post.
Considering that this is leap year the
declaration of Belya Lockwood that she
will not accept the presidential nomina-
ton unless it is freely offered her is GER
tainly very handsome.-Chicago Tim es.
Young ladies, let's do little figuring.
Four into eighteen four times and two
over; four into twenty-nine seven times
and one over; four into twelve three
times. 1t comes ont even. Leap year,
and you have the floor! We hope that
you will use your opportunity wisely
and we'll. May heaven prosper your
suits! We are ready to receive sealed
proposals. Buffalo Courier.
The ladies will please not overlook
the fact that this. Ammo Domini 1892, is
leap year. They have certain inaliena-
BILE rights accorded them during the
next twelyemOnth, among which are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness; also the privilege OF escOrting a
young man to the theater occasionally
and paying the expense thereof. That
the ladies will embrace their great op-
portunities OF the year we have no
doubt.-New York Advertiser.
The world has seen so many leap
years. and the pleasant but somewhat
eXacting custom annexed to them has
grown so worn, not only through use,
but. as is the case with great many
good things in this world. through the
tiresome badinage that it inevitably
calls forth, that it really seems time to
propose change. OF course, it would
never do to leave the custom behind US
altogether among the other wreckage of
civilization. 1t should be modified. How
would it answer for the women to stop
refusing a fellow once in four years.

BIG MONEY MISSING.
Mutual Benefit People Bad
WhiDSawed.


Whinsawed.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 7.-Samlel 3.
Griffith, of Mercer, who was appointed
receiver of the Economical Mutual Bene-
fit association of Sandy Lake on Nov.
IL, 1891, has just issued circu-
lar stating that there is absolutely
no hope of dividened for the
surviving members of the concern, after
the pending death and disability claims
have been satisfied. and that the court
will probably order the payment of
these claims first of all. The aSSocia-
ton first got into trouble when it en-
countered the grip epidemic couple of
years ago, and became further involved
by bank failure last year.
The affairs OF the association are in a
decided tangle. The receiver has thus
far failed to find the books of the asso-
citation. Mr.. Griffith says the eX-
penSeS of the concern were $1,000
year, or $500 for the
eleven years. During that time, it
paid TO benefciaries Sl25,O00, making a
total disbursement of about $780, 900. As
Stunning that it had an average member
ship of only 1850. the 217 assessments
made Oh the members would produce
S325,000. Under these circumstances, 1t
should have over S145,000. The total
assets are less than $4,000 at face value,
and about $1,000 III reality.

from needs rather than real hopes in
the case of the three states named. The
difficulty OF the situation is seen when
it is admitted that they are more hope
full than Indiana and New York. There
is no real expectation by the RepubH-
cans that they can get more than Z of
the II votes of Michigan, so that
their figures in this computation
are really 223 to 22l. They would
be quite willing to accept that
status if it was reliable. But the
Leader would have no discount OIL the
precariousness of the party situation. for
it says: 1.-THE Republicans may as well

does look that way. Confidence that
the Democrats will throw away the
election by fatuous confidence. stupid

FORGED MORTGAGES.
A Gigantic SwindIe Unearthed in
Chicago.

Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. An alleged wide
spreading conspiracy to fleece bankers
and brokers by means of forged mort
cages on city property owned by non
residents has been unearthed by
the police. Last night four men
were locked up at the central station
charged with fleeing w. G. Press, of
the banking firm of Press & Co.. of
$1,000 by means of forged instruments
of transfer. Their names ale: p w.
McWhorter, real estate man; ii.
81; Hobart, Charles AIbrect and W.
w. Henderson. Inspector Marsh
and Detective Broderick have
been working on the case for several
weeks. and, although not expecting to
make any arrests for a week, were
forced by circumstances to bring the
thing to focus last night. The police
claim to have clear case against the
accused.
Three more men were arrested by
central station detectives today. The
prisoners are Joseph l.. Beach, Harry
Osborne and H. G. Arson. president of
the Wabash avenue firm who vouched
for Wilmot. the applicant to Press IL
Co. for loan of $4,000. Beach is said to
NC Co-"olhet Win w. w. neHueTSOn,
who was arrested last night.
H.H. Hobart and Charles Albrecht,
who were arrested last night, were ar
raigned To-Day. The cases were con-
tinued until Jan. Is, in bonds of $4,000
each. Henderson, lwho is sick at his
home under guard of an officer, will
probably be arraigned tomorrow.
G. Is. Tolman & Co., bankers, 325
Dearborn street, are also victims of the
gang of banR-feecers. Mr. ToIman
called at police headquarters today and
said he had loaned $4,000 on the iden-
teal forged mortgage on which Press
had advanced the same amount. Otner
complaints have been made to the
authorities, and it is the belief of In
spector Marsh that the swindling opera
tons of the gang amount to many thou
sands of dollars.
