The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation OF the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietors
have SO much faith in it's curative
powers. that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of Testimonials.

RUSSIAN HORRORS.

\ trip with VIRGIL or DANTE through
the internal regions could scarcely re-
veal more horrors than would journey
just now through the Russian empire.
In one form and another there is more
human misery existent in the cZar'S do
miniOnS today than seems reconcIlable
with our American notions of the
worlds nineteenth century progress
and enlightenment. The Atlantic cable
fairly groanS under its daily burden of
the wrongs and sufferings of Russian
subjects. In one quarter starvation is
claiming its victims by the hundreds and
thousands. The generous aid sent from
America and other countries made but a
feeble stand against the widespread
ravages OF the famine. The cholera and
other frlghtful diseases are ably supple
menting the famine in its work of death.
And as if these horrors were not enough,
mans inhumanity to man is added to
the list. The persecution of the Jews
has become more barbarOuS and afro
ciouS than ever. and has reached a stage
which would warrant the united and
emphatic interference of civilized ma.
tiOns. 70 complete the list of miseries,
fresh reports come from Siberia of the
inhuman treatment Of bapless wretches
transported thither for real or fancied
otfenses against his Christian majesty,
the czar. A vigorous renovation of the
czar's Christianity, effected, if need be-,
at the point of the bayonet, is one of the
crying needs of this latter half of the
nineteenth century.

WILL THEYDOIT2

A Chicago paper comments approv-
ingly on the tender of resignation made
by some of the Republican officeholders
under state appointment, in anticipation
of the incoming of Gov. ALTGELD and
a Democratic administration. This rec.
ognized organ of -Republicanism
says "this should be the general policy
of all Republicans in Office, state and
national"
The GLOBE is encouraged to think
since the eleetion-Uhat its Chicago con-
temporary has the correct conception of
the duty of Republicans holding federal
office. There are many reasons why
they should cease their service with the
term of their president. If they be-
lieve, as they are bound to, the asser-
tions that the Democrats are going to
rum the country; that they are going to
demolish all our industries; are going
to take down the bars and flood tn e
country with the horrors of cheap goods !;

AT MONTE CARLO

Two more suicides at Monte Carlo. A
boy, mere irresponsible child, throws
himself under the wheels of railroad
train in his utter despair at having lost
the precious savings his mother had en-
trusted to his keeping. The other sui
eide is of the orthodox variety-a bullet
through the head of poor wretch who
had lost his last sou at the tables. They
are only two--two lives (and souls. per-
haps) lost out" of a world full. But
where we hear of two there are dozen
instances that are suppressed, that are
never heard of outside the narrow con-
fines of Monaco and the circle of
far-off friends and relatives to whom
the stereotyped notification is sent. The
victims are shuffled into coffins and
shipped away, and the game goes mer-
rtly on in the Casino. Meanwhile the
erudite Prince Of Monaco pursues his
study of oceanography and delivers
learned lectures before scientific bodies
on the vital subject of ocean currents.
The currents Of human life, that run
yellow with gold into his fair domln-
ions and flow out thick and crimson
with blood. have no interest for him be-
yond the requirements of his eX-
chequer. Let shallow sentiment con-
slider tbem-the prince is scientist

THE CHOLERA.

There is no occasion for going into a
panic. but there is much occasion for
thoroughly realizing that we shall have
the cholera to fight in the interior Of
this country next summer.
That the plague will be knocking at
our gates in the spring is almost ineyi-
table. Any faint hope that 1t had run
its course in Europe and would disap-
pear entirely and permanently under
the effects of winters frosts has been
dispelled by recent cable advices. In
Hamburg and in Poland the plague has
reappeared, and DR.. WENDT's claim
that 'cold does not kill the baclli of
cholera. although it appears to hinder
its propagation" is fully substantiated.
"Winter is characterized by unmistaka-
bic exemption from the disease" says
Dr.. WENDT, "but it may survive even a
very cold winter" 1t will survive this
winter in Europe, and it will take up its
westward march with the coming of
warm weather. Science, precedent and
reason teach us that. The best we can
do is to be well prepared. While the
disease is bound to come. efficient quar-.
antining and sanitation can prevent its
becoming epidemic in this country. and
can restrict its effects to comparatively
| harmless minimum.

Warm Weather Starts the Ice at
ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS. Dec. 30.-Warmer weather
today and tonight loosened the gorge in
the river here and it partially broke,
floating down a few hundred feet and
lodging again. This time the river was
damned up by the ice and the
backwater put the gauge to six
feet, with prospects of a further
rise unless the gorge breaks. The
grinding of the ice caused considerable
alarming noise. but no great damage
has been done so far. The g0rges con-
tinue to dam the river. and the rise is
expected to cause the ice to move again.
Owners of boats have taken every pre-
caution against damage, and all floating
property is thought to be safe from any
movement of the ice. By this movement
of the ice the Anchor line wharf
boat stages were twisted and the
wheels of the stages torn away. The
harbor dump boat was showed out on
the wharf. and sand float was pushed
out on the bank. Barge No. 45. of the
st. Louis & Mississippi Valley Barge
line, was carried away from her faSJen-
ings at the foot of Arsenal street, and
now lies in tine middle Of the river tight
in the gorge Of ice.
LoUIsVILLE, Dec. 30.-The heavy ice
in the Ohio river has caused all packets
to stop running. The Louisville & Gin
cinnati mail line this afternoon decided
to withdraw its big side-wheel steamers
from service, and the only boats now
running are the Louisville, New Albany
and Jeffersonville ferry boats, and if
the weather continues to grow heavier
they will he forced to tie up. D.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 80 The Ohio river
at this point IS frozen over. An ice
gorge at the mouth of the Miami river
threatens the destruction Of an immense
amount of coal and lumber moored at
that point. Navigation is practically
closed from PittSburg to Louisville.
Dispatches from Portsmouth, o., says
the river closed there at 4 a. IN. Another
from Maysville, KY, says the river is
closed three miles above that place and
navigation entirely suspended.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Dec. 30.-The
weather here for the past four days has
been the coldest for years. The ther-
mometer has stood in the neighborhood
of Is above zero. Bob Picket. aged 81,
while going to his home at North Bir-
mingham, was frozen to death within
right of his house.

CHILLICoTHE, Mo-, Dec. 30.-A couple
of weeks ago two men and two ladies

city and registered as Joseph Storme

1t appears that Connors' father had
considerable money in Bethany bank.
The son and HesSeltine concluded to
get married to two Bethany girls. They
succeeded by forging the name of the
elder Connors to checks on the
bank where he had deposited his
money. The quartette then left
anu turned up at Chillicothe,
where they registered at the hotel under
assumed names as stated. Hesseltine
concluded to return to Bethany and put
in another check, the amount being
$500. The cashier had his suspicious
aroused and told the fellow he wanted
to look at the account and asked him TO
call later. He did not call, but was ar
rested the following day. This morning
young ConnOrS and the women were ar
rested here as accomplices and taken to
Bethany, thus ending the hOneymoo II.

POsT-ELECTION CANDoR.

Advocates Of social or economic re-
forms often wonder why it is possible
that unconteSted facts. logical deductions
from those facts, and policies based on
the deductions, make their way to gen
eral acceptance SO slowly. they see
the wrong so clearly, its remedy is to
them so plain, they marvel that all 9TH
ers do not see as they do and come to
their assistance. Especially is this the
case with those reforms which have to
depend on the popular will expressed
in the ballot.
The chief cause is not hard to find.
Nowadays the opinions of nine out of
every ten men are formed by the news
papers in their news and editorial de-
partmentS, the one the domain OF fact,
the other of argument. The sense of
responsibility has not been equal to the
sense of power thus held. Under stress
Of partisanship too frequently has false
hood been stated for fact and sophis m
substituted for reason. The result of
this abuse of power is the loss of power.
"A newspaper statement" has become
to be the generally accepted synonym
for one without foundation in fact.
Reputable papers, conducted with a
purpose to use their power with a due
sense Of the responsibility assumed, are
more or less involved in this general
skepticism.
A case illustrates this. Readers of
Republican papers have seen in them
no one assertion more frequent than
that 'the tariff is not tax" Stated as
fact, it has been the focus of most of
their arguments. Demonstration of its
falsity by fact and logic were brought
against it with small effect by the Demo
cratic papers; to Republicans they were
mere newspaper statements" .rhe
foreigner pays the tax," said McKIN-
LEY, and his papers caught it up and
millions believed it. No one paper
stuck to this through thick and thin

RAILROAD LAND TAXATION.

1t is certain that the lands granted
the railroads cannot be taxed until the
people amend the law by direct vote.
1t is also certain that, in the present
state of public opinion, the voters will
not relinquiSh the gross earnings tax,
which yields over 100000 annually to
the treasury. and will increase yearly
for long time. 1t may be that they
will some day see that the Iowa plan is
better, but that is not present ques-
tion.
The counties in the northern and
western parts of the state present a case
so full of equities that they cannot be
ignored without injustice. These coun-
ties are sparsely populated. Their set
tiers are, for the greater part, poor
men. They have all the heavier bur-
denS of development to bear; burdens
which the older counties have passed.
They have roads and bri1ges to con-
struct. They have schoOlhOuSes to
build and schools to maintain. They
have their county organizations to main
tain. They all have large areas of un-
taxable railroad lands within their bOr-
ders. Every settler who goes in, every
improvement made, adds to the value of
these lands. Last year the large crop
sent by Providence was made the ex-
cuSe of the roads to advance the price
of their lands 81 all acre. To the build
ing of roads and bridges, of school
houses and court houses these lands
contribute not penny. The taxes they
should pay towards these local burdens
flow into the general treasury in the
gross earnings tax, helping mainly to
increase expenditure instead Of de-
creasing taxation. At its best 1t only
relieves these counties of their proper
tion of the state taxes which the gross
earnings tax displaces. 1t does not help
them carry the far heavier load of local
taxation.
There are strong equities in this con-
dtion which the state has brought about
by a law which, wise or unWise, is un-
repealabe. The law should relieve
against the apparent injustice. but no
course seems open unless it be a grant
from the gross earnings tax of sum
equal to the loss each county SustalnS
by the exemption of the lands from local
taxation. 1t is question the legislature
will have to consider. as it will be
pressed on it by members from these
counties. That body should De able to
do Justice.

ERIE. Pa, Dec. 30.-The operations
of the local police. working with the
Chicago Il Lake Shore agencies, have
the crooks in this city i'll state of
terror. Informations haye been MADE
against over 100 perSJe4s, and the Of
flcers are making arrests every hour.
BY the close of the afternoon twenty
alleged car robbers had been arrested,
and many who were wanted have fled
from the city. These arrests are fol-
lowing the discovery of gigantic
scheme of railroad robbery. The Lake
Shore IL Michigan Southern company
has not been the only sufferer. The
Nickel Plate and the Philadelphia &
Lake Erie companies have been robbed
to an extent that is only just beginning
to be known.
On the two lines first named the
thieves operated in this way: Their
base of operations was in this city.

Seals Were Broken
and the entrance effected the car rob-
bers would stay in the cars long enough
to asS0rt such goods as they wanted,
and these were never thrown off until
some one of several points just east Of
Erie had been reached. The cOnfeder-
ateS. in the interval, would take care Of
the booty thrown off the passing train.
This sort of systematic and persistent
robbery has been gong on for weeks.
Before the search has fairly begun
the officers have found $1,000 worth of
stolen goods. On the Lake Shore line
alone, between Dunkirk and Erie, the
losses were more than $4,000 curing
the month of December. Stolen goods
are being found in every quarter of the
town and its suburbs. Search warrants
have let the officers into households

above suspicion, but wild sons and in
some cases giddy daughters are wanted

ostensibly for supplies. They returned
home late Tuesday night very drunk,
and nothing more was seen of them
until neighbor called yesterday even
ing. Finding the door ajar, the neigh
Dor walked in. and found Mrs. Barnes
lying across the bed dead, with her
head crushed, while Barnes and Kerr
were lying in a corner Of the room, also
dead, frightfully sashed with knives.
Each grasped a knife in his hand. The
surroundings showed that the battle
had been long and terrible. It's thought
that Barnes struck his wife with jug
for scolding him for coming home drunk
and that her brother then attacked
Barnes.

INDIANS FALL OUT =
Prospects of War Between Two
Tribes in Wyoming.

Tribes in Wyoming.
LANDER. Wyo., Dec. 30. - Trouble
that may lead to war between the two
Indian tribes is now brewing among the
Arapahoes and ShOshones, who occupy
the Shoshone reservation near this city.
Last year congress appointed a COM
mission to treat with the ShoshOnes for
a part of their reservation, and
subsequently a treaty was entered
into by which the government was TO
receive half of the Indian lands. This
treaty failed of ratification at Washing
ton, and a new commission was APP
pointed, which will soon reopen the
negotiations. The ArapahOes declare
that they will have nothing to do with
the new commission, while the ShO-
shones are willing TO cede part of their
reservation, and assert that the former
tribe has no ownership in the lands.
Chief WashakO. of the ohOshones,
says that several years ago the secre-
tary of the interior placed the Arapa-
hoes on the Shoshone reservation
temporarily until other lands could be
found for them. The chief is very angry
over the treatment received from the
government, and especially in the recog-
milton of the ArapaEOeS as part of tho
owners of the reservation. IL necessary
to protect himself WashakO will lead
his braves against the ArapahOes. lie
is friendly towards the white settlers,
and, in the event of war. it is not
thought he will molest them. The set
tiers are decidedly in sympathy with
the ShOShOneS.
