The Telegraph Wires Arc Down and
Other Property Fared Badly.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 1s.-One Of the
heaviest thunder storms ever expert
fenced herea bouts struck Pittsburg
and vicinity about 8 o'clock last even
ing. For two hours the lightning was
incessant and made everything as
light as day. No loss of life is reported.
but property didn't fare SO well.
The greatest loser is the Postal Tele-
graph company. Twenty of its wires
between Chicago and Pittsburg and
three to New York were killed for
the night. Strange to say the West
ern Union company reports no damage
at all. One thunder clap was SO loud
that it startled every body in Pittsburg
and Allegheny except, perhaps, the
deaf.

pEFFER Is ALL RIGHT.

Senator PETER is acquiring wisdom
at a prodlgious rate these days. 1t is
really astonishing what brief absence
from Kansas can do for a man-has
done for PETER. The be-whiskered
statesman from the Sunllower common
wealth talks some sound common sense
in a recent Washington interview. He
controverts the prevailing impression
that he will side with the Republican
party i'll the senate of the Fifty-thlrd
congress, as he has in the senate of the
Fifty-secOnd congress. The Republic
ans will be no longer the dominant
party, either IN the senate or elsewhere,
and PETER feels privileged to betray
strong Democratic leaningS. Speaking
for himself and his Populist colleagues
in the senate, PEFFER says:
Ne have all of us been tariff reformers,
and | do not see that our advancement to the
senate will alter our views in that respect.
We regard the tariff question as one which
pertains more closely, perhaps, than any
other, except the money question, to our
cardinal principle. which is the reduction of
taxation. We believe that tariff reform
means a tightening of the burdens of the
people, and with that OBJECT in view we will
vote with the Democrats in their efforts to
modify the MCKINLEY law.
This is encouraging, and Mir. PEFFER
is all right. He has seen great light,
and he knows what it signifies. He will
be a Democrat for purposes of tariff re-
form, and that's what we are all Demo
Gratis for just now.

THE MINER LAW.

The GLOBE ventures the prediction
that the MINER election law of Michi-
gan will be taken as a model for legis-
Iatiye action in more than one state
during the next four years. 1t provides
that presidential electors shall be chosen
by districts as are congressman, instead
OF by the state at large. The supreme
court of the United States has sustained
the constitutiOnality of the method, and
it has many merits to commend it. 1t
makes states vote in the electoral
college more accurately expressive of
the sentiment Of its citizens than does
the prevailing system. 1t practically
gives the minority as we'll as the major
ity hearing. In New York in 1884 a
plurality Of 1000 determined that the
entire thirty-siX votes of the Empire
i. state should be cast for Mr.. CLEVELAND.
That is, the opinion Of three-quarters
Of million people in that common
wealth carried no influence whatever
in the selection of a president. Had
the principles of the MINER law been
in force the vote would have been di-
vided in something like fair propor-
tlon. This would have been as it should
be in fairness and right. The oppor-
tunities for corruption which attend the
concentration of national battles in few
doubtful states and the dlsfranchise-
ment of half of our citizens would be
impossible were this system generally
applied. The GLOBE predicts that il
will grow in favor.

The Venezuelan ReVolutionist
Popular With the Masses.
PARIS, Nov. 17.-Letters have been
received here from Caracas stating that
VeDeZuelans are wild with JOY over the
triumph of the revolution. Among
others Gen. Rafael Quesada writes:
''At last peace reigns supreme in this
country. 1t is surprising with what
promptness business has been resumed,
and ever since Gen. Pedro Fallenilla
took possession of the public capital or
der has been restored. Gen. Cresp0's
first administrative measures were
greeted with enthusiasm, and the entire
population of Venezuela accaims him
as a second father of his country"
Gen. Quesada is we'll known to the
Americans who have read the history OF
MeXico's revolution against the usurp-
er MaXimillian, and of the terrible Gu
ban inSurrection against Spain i'll 1868.
1t was he and Dr.. Guerra Marcans who

IdlPablo Gil, the Weli-known Spanish

Venezuela may return within two
cor three years to its nor
NAL state of prosperity. The coun-
try has proved itself possessed Of vast
resources, which, if properly employed,
can place it along the line with the
leading republics of South America.
Should Crespo adopt policy of recon-
eiliation and pardon the enemies of his
country it would be great step toward
assuring his fellows lasting peace aud
happiness.
A Spanish-American, whose father
was once famous general. and who
has himself just returned from a long
residence in Venezuela, said to the As

The Conference Of the Arch
bishops in New York Still
in Session.
No Details Of the Discussion
or the Results Reached
Given Out.
The Conference Divided on the
Relations of Schools to
the State.
Priests OF the New York Dio-
cese Differ Over a Cir
culap.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE conference
of Catholic archbishops, which began
yesterday at the arche piscopal resi-
dence, at Madison avenue and Fiftieth
street. was continued today. The dis
tinguiShed prelateS who compose the
conference met shortly after 10 O'Clock
this morning, with Cardinal Gibbons
presiding. In accordance with the
determination heretofore arrived, at
the details of the subjects dis
cussed, or the results already
reached, were not given out for publica-
ton. It's considered significant,in in view
OF the general impression that the men,
bers Of the conference would conclude
their labors in one day, that it was found
necessary to extend the period of its de-
liberation. The causes, it is thought,
are the delicate points involved in the
discussion of the relations between the
state and Darochial schools.
1.-The Importance of this conference
is only evident to persons conversant
of Catholic church AFFAIRS" said a
clergyman of that church in speaking
of that matter today. tine heads or
the archdoceses in the United States
are by no means of one mind on this
point. Some think that the parochial
schools should be allotted q share of the
school taxes raised by the state. com
mensurate with the amount paid by
parents whose children attend the
parochal schools. Others favor a
compromise by which these schools
will be subject to inspection
by state officials. and one or two deem
it advisable for Catholic children to at
tend public schools under certain re-
strictions. The presence of Archbishop
Satolli. the papal ablegate, is evidence
of the Importance of this conference,
and the result of its deliberations are
certain to have an important bearing
upon the future of the Catholic church
in this country"
1t is expected that the conference will
conclude today, but very little of the
work done will be made public, and the
extent and form in which that shall be
done will also be decided UPON by the
assembled archbishops.

OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS.

1t will be many years before the
crime protectionism can be completely
eradicated from cur governmental mol
icy. Too much capital has been in
vested under its encouragement to war
rant its prompt and radical destruction.
The favoritism it sanctions must con-
tinue. All the Democracy can do in the
beginning of the long lease of power
which lies before it is to eliminate the
systems most glaringly oppressive feat
ures. Meanwhile, its benefits will ac-
crue to the capitalist class as before.
and its burden be borne by the farmer
and the artisan. To relieve them in
some degree the GLOBE suggests to the
next Democratic congress that it extend
the application of the protective prin-
ciple to field which the Republicans
have persistently and Intentionally
neglected. Let it defend the masses
from foreign competition as the
factory owners are defended from
their European rivals. Let our

Arrest of the X-Ireasurer OF

Arrest of the eX-freasurer OF
Oneota TOWNSHIPS.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Minn., Nov. I'm. l.. Nc
MINI. ex-treasurer of Oneota township,
near Duluth, was arrested this morning
charged with embezzlement and grand
larceny in the first degree. 1t seems
that about six weeks ago about $1,000
worth of town orders came in in one
day, and, as there was only $1,000
in the bank TO meet them, McMinn was
compelled to go to his bondsmen, to
whom he admitted that he was $4,000
in arrears. He turned over his prop
erty, which, however. was heavily mort
gagged, and made every possible ef-
fort to save himself. Today, how
ever, his bondsmen, who justified in
$4,000 on his bonds, became nervous
and procured his arrest. McMinn made
considerable money during the boom III
real estate i'll Duluth, but last spring
during the iron excitement got deeply
involved and lost considerable money.
He gave bonds today at West Duluth to
appear next Monday morning for pre-
liminary examination. McMinn is thir-
ty-two years old and has wife and
family.

FOUR DAXs OF BLISS.
a Buckeye Obtains Divorce From
Wife Who Deserted Him.


CLEVELAND. Nov. 17.-Capt. Frank
b. Morgan, Of this city, was granted a
decree of divorce yesterday from his
wife, Elizabeth, the daughter of the
famous novelist, Amelia Barr. The
evidence was very unsatisfactory as to
an adequate cause for her desertion of
him, though Judge Stone, vino heard
the case, did his best to get at the bot
tom Of the facts. No evidence what
ever was made, and the only charge put
forth was willful absence.
Capt. Morgan became acquainted
with Miss Barr in New York in 1885,
while he was connected with the New
York Ledger. and lived in Brooklyn.
They became engaged to marry, and ON
Dec. 16. 1857, they were united in mar
riage in this city, Capt. Morgan's duties
as secretary Of a mining company, he
testified, preventing him from going to
her home. They were married at the
home of Rev. DR.. Russell b. Pope, who
prosecuted the famous church trial
against Rev. DR.. Hlldreth. Capt. Nor
gan was then thirty eight years old and
Miss Barr was aged thirty-three years.
He took her TO the home of his father,
Col. Morgan, and four days later she de-
parted for the home of her mother, at
Cornwall l-on-the-Hudson. The captain
testified that she intended to return
with her mother, but failed to do so,
and refused to come to Cleveland,
though he telegraphed and wrote to
her, and personally visited her. In the
absence of any defense, Judge Stoue
granted Capt. Morgan divorce.

BISMARCK.

Prince BISMARCK is perpetual sur
prise. Despite his fOur-seore and more of
years he goes on discovering things with
all the agility of half his age. He has
just discovered that he is blooming
ophmist, after all, instead of the brood
ing pesSimist he has recently figured as
being. He has discovered that war is
impossible for at least two whole years;
that Russia and France are disposed to
iamblike peace and amity with the Teu-
ionic race for whom they are popularity
considered to entertain very different
feelings; and that wars hereafter will
be decided by two or three battles in
which no more men will participate
than has been the custom heretofore.
These discoveries or deductions, or
whatever you choose to call them, by
Prince BISMARCK are reassuring to
Europe, but not to our American IN
Eerests, which were looking forward
with cold-blooded satisfaction to the
prospect of an European war market.
If Europe is not to have war for sew
eral years, and if it isn't going to be
much of war even then, we can only
keep on tinkering with the tariff and
reciprocity, and try to work off our sur
plus products on peace footing.

sROOTING-COAT AND sWAL-
LOW-TAIL,
Te 90 afield for our merry SNORT

We go afeld for our merry sport,
Though sisters pout and wives may rail;
We're only few of the good old sort,
But we laugh at the charms of the swallow
tail.
We have tasted the cup; we know by rote
The fancied charms of the dance and tea,
Yet gladly turn to the shooting coat
To be dressed our best-to be out and free.
We have tripped the light fantastic oft,
And spilled our coffee on costly gown,
And felt like fools in rigs of Poole's
When stubborn beauty chose to frown.
We have seen eyes burning with changeless
love-
Tho ne'er so staunch as the pointing dog
And we'd barter our seats in the choir above
For restful loaf on mossy log.
The laughter yelling from beauty throat
Meier thrilled like the whirr of grouse or
quail;
There's a heap more fun in the shooting coat
Than ever was dreamed In the sWallow-tail.

A SERIOUS REALITY.
Mrs. Lease in Earnest in Her Sena-
torial aspirations.

TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. 17.-Opinion
exists here that stranger things might
happen than the election Of Mrs. Mary
E. Lease as United States senator from
Kansas. Mrs. Leases candidacy for
the senate has become serious reality.
She is fixing wires for the place. and the
rank and file of the party will give her
all equal chance with other aspirants,
especially as there seems to be no con-
stitutional disqualifications.
A. l.. Williams, attorney Of the Union
Pacific, said today:
Il know of no reason why Mrs. Lease
should not be q senator. There is moth
ing to prevent it except the popular idea
that senator should be man."
David Oyermeyer said: II hardly
know what would be done if she were
elected. Mrs. Lease would make good
senator if she could be seated"
j. W. Ady, United States district at
torney, said: The question would
have to be settled on contest. Mrs.
Lease is certainly entitled to the place.
She is the leader of the Populists."
S. E. Hazen. judge-elect of this dis
trict, said: "As think of it now don't
see why Mrs. Lease should not be a
senator"
She is fixing wires for the place, and
her popularity with the rank and
file of her party will give her at least
an equal chance with the other aSpir-
ants, especially as there seems to be no
constitutional diSqualitications.

that pauper labor may not come to orr
shores in countless hordeS, to depress
the wages market to the point of starva-
ton. 1t is the Democracy's duty TO put
all our citizens in position of equal
opportunities. For this purpose let it
lower the tariff on commodities and
raise the tariff on men, The ideal in
all directions is absolute free trade, but
let all interests start even on the prog
ress to this end. When all goods enter
our ports without restrictions, theh also
should all men. But until that time
let us interpose the same barriers to the
ships which carry immigrants from Eu-
rope to America which we interpose
against those laden with things TO eat
and things to wear. The doctrine of
helping one class of the community and
doiug nothing for another is played
