suit.
CHICAGO, Dec. s.-Tho great point of
interest in the telegraphers' strike is
whether they will succeed in obtaining
the active cooperation OF other organi-
cations of trainmen.
Notwithstanding the claim of the
company that it has lost only forty men
it was to-day endeavoring to obtain 200
operators. Chief Ramsey declared to-
night that ii the road employed non
union men it would simply force a
strike upon other branches OF the road,
as the men would not consent to work
with non-union operators.
Speaking OF the result OF the teie-
graphers conference on the Rock
Island, Grand Chief Te!egrapher Ram
"This strike is moro for principle
than for anything else. Tho Rock
Island road is the only prominent road
in the country that has refused to rec
ognize us. More than thirty OF the
leading railroads have signed our agree
ment and recognize the Order of Rail
way Telegraphers. and willingly con:
cede its right to draw up schedule OF
wages and 10 submit rules and agree
ments, the same as has been accorded
to the trainmen and engineers. The
operators on the railway wish TO be
placed in the same position as those on
The other lines. AS to how long the
strike will last, it may be weeks or
months, but the order is in good condi-
ton and can stand long siege"
General Superintendent Royce this
afternoon said: ave are having no
trouble over the strike at all. Trains
are running on time. OF the 600 men
employed by us 1 doubt ii even 100
went out"

At Kansas City.

KANSAS Cry, No., Dec. s.-The Rock
Island has only six operators in Kansas
City and its suburbs and thoy are quar-
tered in freight offices. At noon all left
their keys. Later four OF them return
ed to work and the places OF the other
two men were filled by new men. The
Rock Island has no track running into
Kansas City. Going cast it uses the
Hannibal and going west the Union
Pacific, so that trains can be moved To-
cally in and out of the city till they
strike their own road.

The Siengo out at III Reno.

KANSAS CRY, Dec. S.-The special to
tho Star from FL Reno, Oklahoma, says:
The members of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers employed upon this end
OF the Rock Island railroad LETT their
keys promptly at 10 a. m. to-day. They
feel very indignant at the action OF the
company in not treating with their
committee regarding the scale of wages
adopted by the order. The railway
company have induced the train dis
patchers to remain at their posts. From
Harrington, Kansas. to Red River. Ok
lahoma, the present terminus of the
road, outside the train dispatchcrs, only
two operators remain at work and both
are said to be incompetent The opera
tors are determined set of mon on
this end of the line and sympathy has
already begun to assert itself among the
citizens and frontiersmen. 1t is likely
that scabs will have hard time OF 1t II
they attempt to come in.

The secretary OF war to-day sent to
Congress the report OF Major Stickney,
OF tho engineer corps, upon his prelim.
mary examination Tor the location Of
the necessary movable locks and dams
in the Ohio river between Davis Island
dam and the dam near the mouth OF the
Beaver river, in Pennsylvania. The re-
port says that before the construction
OF these costly dams is begun, careful
survey should be made to determine
the best locations for them. 1t is pretty
definitely settled, the report says, that
four additional locks and dams will be
required to complete tho system of i'm
provement from Pittsburgh to the lock
below Beaver river, distance OF thirty
miles. The dams are movable in order
that they may be thrown down and
leave an unimpaired channel for the
quick passage OF the large fleets OF coal
boats. That this part OF the river is
worthy OF improvement, the. report
says, does not admit OF doubt in view
of the large coal and manufacturing in
terests involved and $500 is asked Tor
the necessary survey.

is most noticeable in the business be-

briefly the work of the United States
supreme court, and says he is glad to
be able to report that, as the result Of
the organization of the circuit court OF
appeals, the number OF cases in tho
supreme court is being reduced. The
expenses during the year amounted to
s., ,74S, $3.50 OS. During tho fiscal year

prosecuted, dismissed or discontinued.
There were also terminated S,724 crimi'

GOOD ENOUGH.

We had the pleasure of expressing our
satisfaction the other day hat the re-
ceivers of the r. & ID. ID. K. properties
had appointed CAPTAIN GREEN their gen.
eral manager, and now we have the
greater pleasure of seeing that Col. A. B.
ANDREWS has been appointed their gen.
eral agent, with a general supervision of
all the properties of the system, report
ing direct to the receivers.
By the appointment of receivers the
authority of the president and directors
was suspended, but the receivers have re-
tanned the invaluable services OF COLONEL
ANDREWS, who is given virtually the en-
tire direction of the company's affairs,
under the control, certainly, OF the re-
ceivers, who themselves are controlled
by the court. COLONEL ANDREWS being
appointed the general agent of the re-
~ceivers has been made the executive and
administrative officer Of the entire prop
erty. Thus his fine abilities and skill and
devotion to duty find recognition. We
tender him u compliments.
This advancement of COLONEL An
DREws, at this time this recognition Of
his ability as a railroad man will give
pleasure to his many hundred friends
throughout the state and South.
AS we understand the situation, the X.
& d. while in the hands of a receiver is
vet in the hands of its friends and the
probabilities are that after a time it will
emerge in better condition than it has
been for years.
In any event THE GLOBE r~ejoices to
see such men as ANDREWS and TURK re-
cognized, because they have unques-
toned ability and because they have
earned places in the topmost niche in the
railway world

A BAD f,

REV. THOMAS DIXON, who has been
running a crusade against Tammany,
has, we are very sorry to say, gotten
himself into trouble. He made a state
ment in a sermon that EXCISE COMMITS
sIONER Koch was the biggest scoundrel
of them all, and shold be in the peniten-
tiary. Mr.. DIXON was arrested and
brought before a committing magistrate,
who bound him over, saying that there
was no evidence that COMMISSIONER
KOCH was at all responsible for the par
ticular matter that Mr.. DIXON was de-
nOuncing.
Since then the grand jury has met and
found a true bill against MIR. DIXON,
who will now be put on trial. If he fails
to prove to the satisfaction of the jury
that MIR. KOCH, who, we suppose, stands
we'll with the plain people of New York
city. from among whom the jury will be
selected, is a bad man, he will probably
be convicted and will suffer severably for
his intemperate language. We suppose
and be fined from one to ten thousand
dollars. 1t may prove to be a case call
ing for the deepest sympathy of his
friends.-News and Observer.
DIXoN's friends will, of course, regret
to know that the young man has, by a
slip of the tongue and a greater slip of
flis conscience, gotten into trouble which
assumes a serious aspect. Yet they will
defend him and if he'goes TO Jail for ut
tering the libel, he will be none the less a
saint in their eyes-he will not have
sinned.
However, the facts in the case appear
in a different light. The mere slip of the
tongue or an UNDECIDED scratch Of the pen
may be excused. But when a ministers
from his pulpit %denounces a fellow citi-
zen as q scoundrel and a man who should
be in the p~enitentiary, and makes the an
nouncement absolute and positive, he
certainly has but little regard for any
truth, if that announcement is made with
out investigation.
Aministeris supposed to preach charity
and he quotes to you the proposition that
the man without sin should heave the first
boulder. COMMISSIONER Koch may have
been guilty of something-as a member
OF the excise bOard-if the board was be-
ing dissected collectively, while individ-
ually MIR. Koch may be as much of a gen.
tleman as the REV. DIXON.

SOME RATS.

The democratic national convention at
Chicago was perfectly in line with the
traditions of the party, and did not be-
lieve the predictions Of those who said
that it would be stormy. In the whole
history of the democratic party there has
never been a convention in which there
was shown a more bitter ~antagonism
than was shown at Chicago. The hostil-
ity of the factions was not controlled by
considerations of policy, but was given
full sway without regard to consequent
ces.
The republican convention at Mime
apolis presents a striking contrast to the
Chiccgo convention in many repects, but
chiefly in regard to the behavior of the
delegates. At Chicago a man who
cheered for CLEVELAND was in danger
of being assaulted, and the opponents of
the eX president ran the same risk when
they gave expression to their feelings
Omaha Bee.
Bats, rats, rats, as COLONEL HAMLET
said. The Minneapolis convention was a
national debauch. At one time when
BLAINE's picture was displayed a crowd
of drunken rufians, with a brutality
which would put to shame anything re-
motely connected with d~ecency attempted
to destroy the picture. The portrait was
given to a little girl, and even her the
drunken and d~emoralized federal shrek
ers who bought their whiskey with HAIR
RIsON patronage money could not be held
down.
The difference between the Chicago
convention and the Minneapolis conven-
ton, in favor of Chicago, was the differ
ence between men with hats off and hats
on, the difference between drunken men
and sober men, the difference between
honesty and dishonesty.
And to meet all questions on the sub
ject, The Bee sent AMIN to report Min
%neapolis, and FITzMORTIs to report
Chicago, simply through fear hat the
conscience of one special correspondent
would collapse if he attempted to state
that Chicago was decent-which it was.

VIII Live in q Glass House.

At the city of Dinard, in the depart
ment. of Ille-et-V ilaine, France, there
lives a man distinguished both for his
originality of ideas and for the fullness
of his money bags. He has been speak
ing and teaching for a long time upon
the necessity of men beginning to lead
lives Of greater purity, SO that they need
not be afraid of having all their deeds
under the incessant supervision of So
ciety. He is himself willing to submit
to the trial and wants to find others to
do the same. He has determined to
have a three story house built all Of
glass. A dwelling Of such transparency
would not not only allow its inhabitants
at all times a splendid prospect in every
direction upon the beautiful country
surrounding the place, but also expose
the minutest details of the daily life of
the people in the house to the inspection
Of the entire city.
The originator of the idea has found
an architect willing to build the house on
condition that he receives payment in
advance. But there is no renting agent
that will take the agency for it. If it is
TO be a lodging house for bachelors, they
say, they may be able to do something
with it, but they cannot find a female.
they think, thai would consent to live
in a glass house. Nevertheless the old
gentleman is determined to realize his
idea.-Chicago Herald.

ing along the chestnut line, just now, and
too many young fellows imagine that all
thev need do is claim instructions from
COP, get into a pulpit and proceed to ma.
lign and traduce all men who do not agree
with them.
If Koch has been lied about and DIXON
has done the lying, and in his defiant
manner, it will be a wholesome lesson to
him, to send him to prison a year or two,
when he may, with proper reflection,
learn that he is not the only man in
America. The proposition that a priest
or king can do no wrong is a popular
lie which at present clouds IN unpopular
truth. There is more demand for hon
esty in the pulpit than elsewhere, but in
these days when sensational psalm sing
ers learn the preachers trade for what
there is in it, regardless Of the feelings
of those who do not agree with the red
fire and stuffed club parson, we find no
regard for honesty or decency, many
times.
DIXON is young yet, and the outcome
of his trial will be a help to him-and
better the help if he has his mouth closed
by CRATES a year or two.

Challenging a Critical Journalist.

I" eAAAo
A very slight and polite criticism in
dulged in at the expense of a cavalry Of
fcer who was riding about a week ago
at the horse show has assumed the pro-
portions of q SeriOus event. The officer
in question sent a letter to the writer
saying that he could understand the
criticising the Workmanship Of jockeys
and grOOns, but that he had no business
to pass any remarks on that of ''gentle-
men or officers" He forbade the jour
nalist to mention his NAME, and wound
up by adding that his sole right was
that Of the stronger and that he would
prove it if the offense were repeated.
The Journalist in a second paragraph re-
marked that he did not think he had
acted improperly in criticising the per-
~fOrmances of horsemen who rode in a
public place to which admission was OBJ
tanned by payment, and, referring to the
letter, said he could not believe that it
had been penned by a French officer,
and was convinced that it was a forgery.
Thereupon the cavalry officer sent two
of his friends to the journalist with a
hostile message, and in the duel that
followed he wounded him in the arm.
He thus proved that he was lie plus
fort" But the affair is creating a great
sensation, the prevailing opinion being
that the argument employed by the Off
Ger was. to say the least, utterly illogi-
calm fact, this unlucky episode has
brought once more on the tapis the
vexed question of the expediency of
military men displaying their proves
at races and horse shows.-Paris Cor.
