REID WILL RETURN.

Minister Reid is coming home from
Paris. Minister Conger returned from
Brazil yesterday. But Minister Patrick
Egan sticks to his job in way that
Thayer, of Nebraska, alone eau rival
Chicago Times.
Minister Reid has concluded COM
mercial reciprocity treaty with France.
This, in connection with his work i'll
having the French embargo against the
American hog removed, enables MIR.
Reid to return crowned with unusual
laurels for foreign minister. he Will
come home and resume the active direc-
ton of the Tribune during the presiden-
tial mpaign.-Fittsburg Commercial
Gazette.
1t is reported that Whitelaw Reid's
successor as United States minister to
France will be ''Col." John Hay. Just
what Mr.. BAY mas done to warrant the
belief that he will make fit representa-
tive of this country or to eDlltle him
to such an honor is rather difficult to
specify. He wrote reaSonab ly good
poetry until by marrying wealth he was
given leisure enough to write an unrea-
Sonably long and dull biography of Lin
coin. Save these his public services are
unknown.-Chicago Times.
The resignation of Whitelaw Reid as
minister to France has been the Occa-
Sion of very general testimonial, in both
France and the United States. of public
appreciation of his tact and usefulness in
a position for which lack of previous
diplomatic experience did not promise
such brilliant acauittaI. Mr.. Reid has
given new proof that the ability req
uisite for the successful control of a
great newspaper involves the ability to
do many other difficult things, and to
do them well. -Philadelphia Record.

THE CAUSE OF REFORM.

The cause of municipal reform leaped
forward Oh Saturday night at Market
hall with the agility of a sad gaZelle.
Hon. S. j. r. MCMILLAN presided, and
stated the objects of the meeting with
eloquenee and force. Mr.. MCMILLAN
was for many years judge Of our SUI
preme court, and its chief justice when
he was elected to the United States SEN
ate. He served Minnesota honorably at
the national capital for many years, and
enjoys the respect and esteem of this EN-
tire community. He is an able lawyer,
a courteous gentleman, puolic-spirlted
citizen. Whatever he has to say de-
serves and commands hearing.
But who under the sun are these
other reformers, and do they live in st.
Paul? Who are T. FL. DIXON and l..
SHARP, and B. Fl. SHRIBER, and G.
Tyson BUTCHER, and L. A. ANDERSON,
and DAN w. DoTY? Are these gentle
men anonymous? Are they the great
unknown? Men of affairs. no doubt;
heavy taxpayers, scholars in politics,
even though their fame is not as I'M
rivaled as their merit. And what do
they propose to do? There is nothing
timid about t. H. DIXON, l.. SHARP,
B. II. SHRIBER, C. Tyson BUTCHER, h..
A. ANDERSON and DAN w. DoTY.
They propose to defeat BOB SMITH.
Here is an undertaking worthy OF their
mettle. If anybody is interested in
sand. let him look at this spectacle.
And how are they going to do it? They
are going to pass resolutions and make
speeches. Here is the faith which re-
moves mountains.

JAY WANTS A CASTLE.

Jay Gould is said to be in negotiation
with the Mexican government for the
purchase of Chapultepec castle, and our
neighbors are beginning to tremble for
the preservation of enough of their re-
public to live in.-New York CONNER
cial Advertiser.
The statement that Jay Gould desires
to buy Castle Chapultepec will revive
patriotic recollectlonS in the minds OF
many an old Mexican war soldier. The
storming and taking of this fortress was
regarded at that time as great military
feat.-Dayton Times.
After the news that the Louisiana
lottery will seek home in Mexico it is
highly appropriate that jay Gould
should negotiate for the purchase OF a
castle in the same country. There are
varieties of gambling, but all are united
by strong family likeness.-Pittsburg
Dispatch.
Jay Gould is said to have offered
$1,000, 900 for the castle of Chapultepec,
Mexico This is probably a canard.
Gould will not buy an institution which
cannot be stocked and bonded for more
than it is worth. Castles are not in his
line, and the Mexicans can rest easy

QUICKER TIME.

Several of the proposed Improvements
In the postal service, such as the postal
telegraph, extension of the free mail
delivery to the smaller communities and
the country, and house collection of mail
matter, have been indicated in these
columns. They are Of wider interest
than shortening of time in long dis
tances, but this is of value, especially to
the immediate points concerned. A plan
is proposed by the New York Central
railway, and being considered by the
posteffice department, for shortening
the time between New York and Chi
cago. The railway men regard it as
practicable to cover the distance
in sixteen hours, eight less than
at present. This requires a train
making the time for the whole distance
about fifty-two miles an hour. The sug-
gestion is to leave New York at D. IN.
and arrive at the lake city at 10 the next
morning. For some months past train
has been making about this time be-
tween New York and Buffalo. The ex-
pertinent is to be confined at first to a
mail train, but, if success, will be eX-
tended to much of the passenger serY-

wEATHER FORECASTS.

After all the levity and dlstrust af-
fected toward the government dispense
ton of the weather, the public is
forced to fail back upon it as the only
anticipation that is of much practical
service. The long range prophets do
hardly better than careful guessers, land,
when they attempt to localize and give
dates, their failures are notable. The
best of them had the winter weather
about all disposed of in February, and
left no room for March samples. They
insisted upon an unusually early spring,
and the proposed conditions failed to
materalize. Reliance upon these
prognostcators led credulous news
paper writer's into absurd blum
ders. The official observers do not see
very far in advance, but day is often
of great practical service to those whose
arrangements are contingent upon the
weather. 1t is alleged that the perceut-
ages of failure to rightly forecast the at
moSpheric conditions are comparatively
small, and the public has come TO ac-
cept this as the real fact. Nearly every
one has some interest in the weather Of
the day, and the reader of the daily
paper. as a rule, first looks at the fore
casts every morning. The transfer of
the service to the agricultural depart
ment is recognition that the farmer
ought to have a full share of the adVan-
tages to be derived from it. He looks
at the sky and consults the signs in map
ping out his work for the day. His
needs are more general and quite as i'm
portant as those of any other class. In
he cities. comparatively little change
is caused in the routine by the weather.
There is growing demand for the DIFF
fusion of the daily forecasts in the coun-
try districts. The local officials every
day respond to many calls by wire for
information. There have been some
Improvements in certain details, but the
department is unable to meet the
calls for supplying the information
as is desirable, for lack of suf-
fcient appropriations. Congress is now
asked to provide means to enable the
agricultural communities to obtain sea-
sonably the information gathered. 1t
is proposed further, to establish OBJ
servatories under conditions as near
as possible to those to which growing
crops are subjected. It is designed to
have the points Of chief interest pro-
Nded at every telegraph station. When
the daily mail delivery is extended into
the country it may be possible to sup
ply every house with the forecasts. 1t
is not wise to make this service suffer
for the extravaganza of other depart

A NEW CODE.

Not very long ago man was mystic
riously murdered in Hoboken, and the
authorities were completely baffied in
their efforts to detect the culprit. Fl
nally they decided to consult Inspector
BYRNEs. of New York, whose expe-
Renee made his opinion of great value.
He advised them to find out who would
have motive for the deed, and, havin 6
discovered such person, to arrest him
at once on suspicion. But they sadly
shook their heads and said that this
was no go, because no one could talk to
the murdered man for half an hour
without wanting to kill him. If they
followed the inspectors advice. they
would have to arrest everybody who
ever met him.
This is the type of manhood TO which
one BORIoWE, an addle-headed young
creature of New York, belongs. He is
reported to inspire the most casual ac-
quaintance with the profoundest feel
ings of mental distress, and close in
timaey with him is fatal to all but the
most strong-minded. And yet for him
a Mrs. DRAYToN, daughter of the
AsToRs, is said to have deserted her
husband, man OF the world and OF
considerable personal attractivenesS,
and the children whom she had borne
him. Advi3es have it that these two
DRAYToN and BoRRoWE-are on their
way from Europe aboard the same ocean
steamer, and the world fears that one or
the other will pay by his life. before
their journey is ended, for this woman's
fickleneSs.
Tragedies of this kind are becoming
amazingly frequent. When they were
less so, there grew up the sentiment
that it was the injured mans duty to
kill the adulterer, even at the risk OF
his own safety. Conviction never fol-
lows such a murder. But in those days
women were different from what they
are now. They were timid, credulous,
helpless beings, and when they fell it
was because a wicked and crafty wretch
had ailured them from the path OF
virtue. AT this hour OF the worla's his
tory, depth, design, self-reliance and
deliberate sin are not always impoS-
sible even for the gentler sex. When
a woman Intentionally tramples on her
honor and shames her family's name,is it
worth while to jeopardize ones life to
avenge her crime? Or will new code
develop to meet these altered social con-
ditionS?

PITCH HANS OYER.

If, as alleged, Congressman JOHNSON,
backed by the portly editor who Law
ished the agricultural seeds ON the
state, has admoniShed the president that
he must throw over the senator and
come to JOHNSON if he wants North
Dakota, the White house man will do
we'll to heed the demand. In the state
committee meeting last week the basis
of representation was made OH the con-
gresham, and not governor, to punish
the Fargoites who bolted JOHNSON I'M
der the lead of HANsBRoUGH's post
master. Then, the Norwegians compose
about one-third of the Republican vote,
and they all swear by JOHNSON. Maj.
EDWARDS reports from Washington
that the president is sorry for what he
has done, and does not want JOHNSON
to retaliate on him. But he cannot be
with both sides, and the advice is
friendly and gratuitous to him to pitch
HANS over the breastWOrkS.

DYNAMITE IN PARIS.

Paris has had real dynamite scare.
The explosion at the LObau barracks
will stimulate wonderfully the zeal Of
the French detectives and police. An
archists who are caught can count upon
very little mercy.-Boston Globe.
The dynamiter is no respecter of per-
sons or nations. Republican France is
suffering from his villainy. and even
free America has been afflicted with
him. He appears to be the common
enemy of decent mankind.-St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
1t is interesting to learn from the
Paris anarchists that they have begun
war to the death. That is the only sort
of war for anarchists. 1t was tried in
Chicago and was so successful that after
three Or four executions hostllitles were
suspended. City Star.
Paris has a garrison four times as
large as our entire army and police
force several fold larger than any
American city; but there is so little
personal independence and initiative i'll
a European city that it is probably per-
fectly true that the dynamite explosions
have "terrorized" Paris.-Philadelp
Press.
The Paris dynamiters are thus far
rather theatrical, but they are undenia-
bly, making their effects. The occa-
sional explosion of a cartridge where it
is not likely to hurt anybody does not
seem, at distance, dignitied or very
dangerous amusement; but on the spot
it cannot be otherwise than exciting, if
not Observation-Disclosures Times.
The enemies of social order are grow
ing so bold in France that bill has
been introduced in the chamber of dep
uties providing that damage to build
ings by the unlawful use of explosives
shall be punishable by death. The at
tempt to blow up a section of the bar
racks early yesterday morning, in the
rear of the Hotel de Vile, is the cause
of the proposed severity.-New York
Press.
Anarchism seems to go by waves.
Early in the present season London had
visitation. Later Berlin was the scene
of violent anarchistic outrage. Now
Paris seems to be the center of opera
ton. These manifestations, coming at
stated times i'll different places, look as
if set of agitators might be going from
one locality to another stirring up strife
and outbreak.-Indianap News.
