The late Jay Gould's disposition of

AS MIR. Gould's accumulations were

dispose of them as he saw fit. Mr..

THE RULING PASSION,

The Paris Matin reports an interview
with Prince BISMARCK. in which the
old lion announces that he has "said
farewell definitely to the government of
men. If had not been dismissed" he
continues, Il would doubtless still be
in power. had l still enough strength to
continue without interruption the duties
conhded to me. Now have no interest
in politics. L have paid my debt to my
country, and | wish to die lii peace"
There would be an infinite pathos
in this, were there not so much of
mendacity in it. Though BISMARCK
has ''said farewell definitely" to power,
he has not said it sincerely. In his
heart he has merely hidden it au revoir,
for he means it to come back to him if
his utmost contriving can bring it. He
is even now plotting and planning for
CAPRIvI's overthrow, with fair prospects
for success To assert that he ''has no
interest in politics" is to assert the i'm
possible. Politics is his ruling passion :;
even in his death 1t will be strong upon
him.

PENSION LEGIs -ATION.

The GLOBE has heretofore remarked
that the Democratic party is relieved bv
the result of the election of two hight
mares, the domination OF New York and
of the professional old soldier. There
is nothing more humiliating in the
whole course of our pOSt-bellum IegisIa-
tl0n-though there is much that is
equally so-than our pension laws. 1t
may be well questioned if there is any
thing in our laws which has been so de-
mOrallZlng. Had the arrears of pension
act been entitled an act topromote per-
jury, It would have expressed its effect. If
not its purpose. Nor is the dependent
pension act much better.
There is at the base just foundation
for pensions. The men who yolun-
Jeered, especially before cupidity was
stirred to take Oh the sembiance of
patriotism by the high bounties offered.
did it from a sense of duty. The paw of
$l3 OF SIC month was no inducement.
They earned and deserved the gratitude
of the nation. 1t was proper that this
should be shown. 1t could take no bet
ter or more suitable shape than care for
the soldier disabled by wounds or sub
Sequent disease from caring for himself.
But million voters had carried arms.
They were worth looking after. The
Republicans began catering to them.
They ignored the vital principle of de-
pendence, and gave pensions regardless
of the financial need of them. The
Democrats followed suit in this en-
deaVor to catch the soldier vote. No
scheme was too outrageous for them to
resist. They were afraid. With each
enlargement the professional old soldier
grew hungrier and demanded more.
Reinforced by the claim agents, they as

reached its elimination in the depend
ent pension act, which only requires
that the applicant be unable to obtain
his living by manual labor. He NAV
clip coupons for livelihood, and be so
dependent as to get pension.
The Fifty-third congress is now in
position to corlAct the evil and do exact
Justice. The situation demands and
Justifies it. The application of nearly
half of the net revenues of the govern
ment to the payment of pensions is a
burden too grievous to be borne. The
demand is Increasing. Thousands of
new pensions were granted last wear.
There cannot be room for reduction of
taxes in the face of such liabilities. The
remedy is simple one A provision

continued in any case where the pen

Labor Delegates Promise to Dis
close Corruption in the Board
of Directors.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Another inyesti-
CATION committee has been appointed to
probe into the Conkey contract for
printing the worlds fair catalogue. The
board of control of the national COM
mittee decided, at the request of Gen.
st. Clair, of West Virginia, to make a
full investigation of his relation
of the affair. AS Gen. st. Clair's
dealings were confined to the Taney
concern, the board of control summoned
Mr.. Taney by telegraph to appear in
Chicago at once and explain the whole
transaction, particularly Gen. st. Clair's
relations with it. Mr.. Taney will prob
ably reach Chicago tomorrow, and the
Investigation will begin at once, with
President Palmer. Col. Mckenzie and
Judge Martindale sitting as judges.
- The committee appointed by the ex-
ecutive committee of the board of direct
orS to investigate Conkey's contract met
today. indicated the lines to be followed
in pushing the inquiry, and adjourned
until tomorrow afternoon. The session
was short and no testimony was taken.
The labor delegates promised to make
damaging disclosures, but they did
not intimate the nature of their proof
OF corruption in the board of directors
The announcement was made today
that Coukey had offered Maj. Handy
the comfortable salary of $4,000 year
to become editor of his catalogue. An
attempt was made to show that this
offer had been made in an improper
manner, but the facts did not justify
any such conclusions.
'Mr. Conkey asked me to become ed
itor of his catalogue" Maj. Handy said,
''and mentioned $4,000 a year as the
salary he would pay. l at once in
formed Director General Davis, Di-
rectors Butter aud Peck and President
Palmer of the offer, and later declined
to accept it. There was not the slight

FREE LETTER ENVELOPES.

FREE LETTER ENVELOPES.
Mr.. LIND wishes to signalize the close
of his congressional career by some
measure of public good which will be
justification of the salary he has drawn
from the public. FRANK HATToN
linked his name to fame by introducing
the immediate delivery stamp which is
supposed to expedite the delivery of the
letters bearing them, but which has
served little better end than to impress
on the village pOStmasters the hygienIc
advantage of taking a walk. Mr.. LIND
would have the government furnish
stamped envelopes at the price now
asked for the stamp. instead OF adding
to it the net cost of the envelope.
This has decided advantages. Post
masters in the smaller towns will get
their mouths freed from that mucilag
inOus taste which comes from their
licking the stamps for which their
patrons drop their pennies, leaving the
officer to aff1X them; or it will save
them from posting up in that ''cOnspic-
uous place" the sign, please lick and
request which any delicate, refined
postmaster will only resort to when
thoroughly saturated with mucilage.
Then, too, there is the saving which
will come from no longer finding that
the warmth of your body has moistened
the stamps in your pocketbook and Sc
curely and immovabIy fastened them to
its sides, not to mention the improve
ment in morals by removing one occa-
sion for profanity.
1t is objected that Mr.. I.IND's scheme
will give to the government practical
monopoly of the envelope business, and
thus interfere with large private inter
eStS. The GLOBE is Democratic. 1t
does not believe that government
should ever take over a business that
can be safely left in private hands. The
line of demarcation runs broadly be-
tween those industries which are natur-
ally monopolistic and those which, left
to depend Oh themselves, could not
be monopolized. There. is no Demo-
cratic ground of objection to Mr..
LIND's scheme. In the first place, the
government has not left the envelope
makers to themselves. 1t has hedged
them from competition with tariff of
so per cent. Under and because of this
the envelope makers have formed a
trust under the name of the Standard
Envelope company, which monopolizes
completely the market and controls the
prices. When this stage is reached the
only monopoly tolerable is the monop-
oily of the whole people by their govern
menJ. On this ground, and because
there are merits in Mr.. LIND's bill, the
GLOBE is favorable to its passage.

Conference.

Conference.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 15. - Archbishop
Kenrick and the suffragan bishops of
his diocese assembled in solemn confer
ence at the archepiscopal residence
at 10 O'Clock this morning. All the bsh-
ops were present with the exception of
Bishop Fink, of Leavenworth, Kan. The
council Was adjourned shortly before 8
O'Clock this afternoon. Just before ad-
JOurnment all present were bound to
secrecy concerning the proceed
ings of the council, and it
is almost impossible TO CLEAN any
information whatever regarding them
Bishop Burke, of Cheyenne, Wyo., is
said to have given up his see, which he
asserts will not support bishop. 1t is
believed he will be appointed to the va
cant see of st. Joseph. The memorial
to Rome that Bishop Hennessy, of Du-
buque, be elevated TO the arclepiscOpal
dignity and that new see be created,
is said also to have been decided on.
As to the selection of three names to
be sent to Rome, of which one will be
chosen coadjutOr to the venerable Arch
bishop Kenrick, much guessing is now
being INDUCED i'll by local Catholics.
1t is reported and currently believed
that secret ballot was taken on
the names to be sent to Rome.
OF the three selected, it is believed that
of Bishop John Lawrence Spaiding, of
Peoria, H., received the greatest num-
Der of votes. The second highest num-
bea is said to have been cast for Mgr.
O'Connell, rector of the American
college at Rome. Both these gentle
men had the Endorsement of the
local clergy and also had outspoken
supporters among the bishops attending
the council. AS to the third name Sc
lected, there is great deal of doubt. 1t
is thought to be one of these three:
Vicar-General Brady, of st. Louis;
Bishop John j. Kain, of Wheeling;

Can you wonder at crime. can you wonder,
When you see the police On his beat,

Because he'd been robbed on the street?
To injury insult is added
So in dark cell he must lay,
Like the thief who so coolly had robbed him
That's reform. as we find it today.
Can you wonder at crime. can you wonder,
While our mayors paying his debts,
That is, by fulfilling his pledges,
And iii Office is placing his pets?
What cares he for newspaper comments
Or what all the people may say?
To the victor the spoils belong
That's reform, as we find it today.
Can you wonder at crime, can you wonder,
When chief with incompetent men
Must wait until after election,
All because-well, those buffers stand in?
How can any one man, single handed.
All the toughs in the state keep at bay?
To me it seems very absurd-but
That's reform, as we find it today,
Can you wonder at crime, can you wonder,
When some men such favors are shawn?
Some saloons must be closed up at midnight
While some never close-that's well known
While the cop on the corner stands grin

Oh, our mayor is Wright. and clear out OF
