Mr.. Gladstone nsnP Poet.

An ode" which Mr.. Gladstone com
posed when he was a younger man than
he now Is has been printed in London.
1t is full of truisms. a fair specimen Of
which is the remark at the opening of
the eleventh section:
We are amid tie tumult and the stress
OF a fierce eddytng fight,
And TO our mortal sight
Our fate is trembling in the balances
This statement is truthful, obviously
true. 1t is a standing truth, and wien
properly regarded it is not discouraging
to man Of the derring do kind. The
last line of the stanza ought to prompt
and impel all men to do their best amid
the tumult. as we must trust Mr.. Glad
stone himself is doing. AS mere poetry
the lode" is open to criticism upon four
sides. Its thought is feeble, its wording
poor. its figures incongruous and its
rhyme bad. Gladstone does not seem to
be much of poet.-New York Sun.

Spohr and the Kings.

All are not kingly who wear crown.
At a court concert the Duchess of Gotha
expressed in the curtest style her disap-
prevail of the loud playing of Spohr. the
great violinist and composer. While he
was playing she sent a chamberlain to
request him not to make SO much noise.
The king of Wurtemberg was in the
habit of amusing himself at court con-
cert by playing cards. Spohr, being in
vited to play before the king. informed
the chamberlain that he must decline
the honor unless the king abstained from
card playing. The chamberlain was bor-
rified, but the violinist insisted, and the
king conceded the point. But in order
that the royal time might not be wholly
occupied il listening he ST alated that
the two pieces SET down il the lro-
gramme for Spohr should follow each
other.
Nevertheless his majesty showed that
the violinist's demand had rufied the
royal temper. Etiquette prescribed that
the king should give the signal for ap-
plauding At the conclusion of each
piece the king gave no signal and sol

king had his small revenge.

ST.. LOUIS. Jan. 19.-In addition to the
circulation of the torn and patched let
ter from Archbishop Ireland to Arch
bishop Riordan in this city, detailed
last night, it was learned today that a
manuscript copy of the mysterious
stolen proof slip of the Ireland me
mortal to Rome has also been
circulated here. An authoritative
source limited that it might be
traced among the German clergy,
out sealed lips blocked every approach
to the haunts of the memorial. a Ger

when all the inner circle of the local

returned to the mysterious source
whence it came. There is no doubt that
the copy was i'll the hands of the local
German priests. and they lent it to the
English-speaking opponents of the
Northwestern Blizzard" The assaults
upon the Germans, with which the me-
mortal is said to bristle, were no doubt

PLACID IN TOPEKA.
Kansas Political Waters Undis-
turbed for One Day.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 19.-Quiet and
unchanged exactly describes the situa-
ton today. The Populists seem to
be tlmorous about carrying out
their plan Of passing an ap-
portlonment bill, and the Republic
ans can do nothing until they
do so. The Populist house did nothing
until IL o'clock, when the committee
on elections reported in favor of oustlng
Nathan Kline, of Jackson county, and
seating Ed Shellenbarker. the Populist
contestant, and of ouSting j. w. Dix, of
Reno county, and seating W. IL. Mitch
ell, the PopuliSt contestant. The re-
port was laid over under the rules until
tomorrow.
The dull monotony was relieved this
morning by the hasty exit from the hall
of a few Republican members who had
remained in their seats few moments
after adjournment to watch the Popu-
lists. AT $3.50 a roll call of the Populists
was ordered, and when the chief
clerk began calling the roll there
was all uproar in the Republican
side, and those members who had re-
manned bolted to escape the eye of
Dunsmore, who stood ready to make a
quorum. This was heartily laughed at
by the Populsts, as they think this was
a point gained by them. Duns more
says while back he thought possibly
the militia would have to be; called to
clear the hall, but simple FOIL call did
the work.

the absolute withdrawal of Clark and

NORrHFIELD, Mimi, Jan. 19.-TO
DR.. Wilson. of GoodSell observatory,
really belongs the honor of rediscover-
ing the Holmes, which honor many as
tronomers both in this country and
in Europe are claiming. The Holmes
comet was first seen last November, and
was rapidly approaching the earth, but
as the distance between the earth and
the comet decreased. the brilliancy cor
reSpondingly decreased, and last Sa tur-
day the comet was scarcely visible. The
observers III the college here have kept
continual watch of the comet, and Mon
day night were surprised to see the
comet blaze out so as to be almost vlSi-
BILE to the naked eye. Soon after this
discovery, and after making record of
the same. telegramS from Lick ObSerYa-
tory and from Europe announced like
observation, but the observations of Dr..
Wilson were several hours in advance
of all others, as further investigation
shows. The comet is i'll size nearly that

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, n. D., Jan. 10.-The elev-
enth and last ballot today showed few
changes. Republicans, Democrats and
Populists played horse all day, voting
for one man Lhen another. On one bal
lot all the Democrats except four, Hor
gan, James, johnson, of Grand Foaks,
and McCanna. and all the PopuliStS eX-
cept Logan combined on John u. Ben
ton, Democrat, giving him 50 votes. On
the next ballot, however, the members
returned to their favorite candidates.
On the tenth ballot Lamb, Populist,
received 81 votes. On the eighth bal
lot Anderson's forces broke for George
Walsh, speaker of the house, and he
got II votes. Casey held lis
IS votes on each ballot. The
last ballot stood as follows:
Casey 13, Worst 10, Roach 6, Muir 16,
Anderson 5, Smith 8. Anderson 9, Hor-
gan (Dem.), complimentary IL, scatter
ing 9. An attempt is being made to-
night to get the Republicans to caucus,
but some Republicans are holding out
and refuse to caucus unless Casey, who
they fear has majority of Republicans,
bitter feeling, az morrow promises
muoh excitement. mere is some talk
of Democrats and Populists uniting on
Walsh, providing he can get eight Re-
publicans. However, some PopuliStS
could not be induced TO vote for him,
and it is difficult to tell what would
come out of the break. There are no
