HIS BACKBONE SEARCHED.

Since the matter of closing the saloons
Sunday and refusing licenses to saloon
keepers who have violated the laws reg
ulating their business is wholly within
the province of the mayor, the action of
the board of aldermen last evening,
whereby the mayor is instructed by
vote of to to enforce the saloon laws
to the fullest extent, was mere starch
ing process. 1t was straight Repub-
Iiean support, and an indication that
the Republican strength of the assembly
will concur.
The law and order people Will proba-
bly, be so well satisfied with the victory
that they will forgive the executive for
his weakness and take him back to their
arms. "AlI is well that ends we'll"
they Will say, and let it 20 at that. The
city will, no doubt, soon have an OBJ
portunity to try the closed saloon
policy.
Having accomplished this end, the
query is, will tue law and order commit
tee now turn its attention to ordinance
No. 10? Mayor O'BRIEN is probably the
only executive Who ever enforced this
| ordinance, and so far as can be discov-
cred the present mayor has never made
an effort to execute it to the least extent.
Messrs. COCHRAN ct al. are apparently
not going to lie down until they have
made an effort, at least. to bring ABOUT q
complete enforcement of all the laws
! affecting morality.

THE GOVERNORS BILL.

Senator SAM PETERSoN's elevator
bill, which is duplicate of House File
S37, known as the governor bill,
goes through the senate under precisely
the same conditions as the house bill
passed that body, driven through under
the party lash. Now one OF these bills
will be sidetracked for the passage of
the other, the governor will sign ii, and
the Republican panacea for all the ills
of the grain market troubles, duly
labeled and copyrighted. will be sent to
the country for test. Whether or not it
bear the familiar legend, Before taken
to be we'll shaken" OF not, there is
little doubt that such will be the case.
1t will have the shaking of two harvestS
before the voters OF the state can have
chance to pass on its efficacy.
As the GLOBE has said, it's glad that
the test is 10 be made, if the simpler
Democratic plan cannot be adopted. 1t
is willing to abide the result OF the
test. 1t regards its failure as certain as
its passage. 1t leaves untouched a sin
gle one of the causes of the complaints
that have been rife for years. 1t leaves
the markets of the state as closely and
securely in the grasp of the monopoly
as they are now. Like the reciprocity
of the MCKINLEY bill, its purpose is only
to try one more new dodge with which
to fool the people.

FILLED WITH BODIES.
Remains OF Five Persons Found
Floating Down the Missouri
River in a Box.
Murdered and Then Set
Adrift.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 2l.-This
afternoon Compton Mccoy, a hunter,
was out on sandbar few miles be-
low this city duck shooting. when he
noticed a large dry goods box floating
down stream. He towed the box to the
bar. and finding it was tightly nailed
broke it open, when to his horror
dead body rolled out. He summoned
help. and an investigation disclosed
horrible state OF affairs. In
the box were five bodies, all in
terrible deeomposed condition. The
bodies were piled INTO the box one on top
of the other, as if done hurriedly, while
the fifth was alone. Four of the bodies
are those of men, the other that of a
woman. The bodies are so
badly decomposed that it is
Impossible to recognize the features.
From marks discovered it is
supposed the people were murdered and
then set adrift on the river. Coroner
Reynolds is holding an investigation and
the utmost excitement prevails in that
neighborhood. A couple of months ago
family disappeared near RulO, town
about forty miles up the river, and 1t is
supposed the bodies found are those OF
the missing people.

CHICAGO, March 21.-In diplomatic
order sent to the heads of city hall de-
partments today, Mayor Washburne
ironically calls attention to the city
councils order of last night declaring
Wednesday holiday in honor of EN-
peror Williams birthday. While nom
inally Obeying the order, the message
will have the effect of multiplying it.
The order was rushed through the coun-
ell by German alderman, presumably
as rebuke TO that body for its recent
action i'll making St. Patrick's day
legal holiday. In the communication
the mayor says:
Il desire to here commend the spirit
which dictated the setting apart Of this
day and the setting apart of March Il
by the city council as American holt
days, and | trust that the council in its
wisdom having recognized the cOsmO-
poiiJan character of our population by
granting holidays to the different IA
tionalitieS whose blood here cOmmingleS
in the production OF the American citi-
zen will not deprive the citv employees
OF other natiOnalitles of opportunity 70
properly commemorate the birth of all
dead saints and heroes, as we'll as the
birth Of all reigning mOnarchs. If the
catalogue of dead and living saints and
monarchs be not sufficient TO exhaust
the secular days of the year | would
suggest that the council, as a change,
appropriate the few remaining days by
closing the city hall in order that we
may commemorate the birth of some
American hero.

LOons ENCouRAGING.

If the board of aldermen had intended
to defeat the ordinance asked by Mr..
Lowry, it would have done SO last even
ing. The reference made 20 the com
mittee OH streets is, therefore, encourage
ing. Mr.. Lowry has distinctly stated
that he would accept no ordinance
which does not abolish the interurban
through travel transfer, which is we'll
known to every member of the board of
aldermen. Were it the intention to
deny that request, the board would not
20 to the pains of having the committee
formulate complete ordinance out of
the LIGHTNER and WARREN ordinances.
The ordinances of the company are con-
tracts, and as binding as though made
between individuals. Hence no new
ordinance affecting the company can
become valid until it is accepted.
The people were not willing to believe
that the board would be unfair in the
matter when it came 20 showdown,
and the action of last evening will make
every one feel that he is not to be dis
appointed.

HOLDING THE COSTUMES.
Customs Officers Seize an Opera
Company's Trunks.

Company's Trunks.
New YORK, March 2l.-The customs
officials at this port believe they have
discovered all attempt to smuggle lot
of theatrical costumes into this coun-
try. On Sunday sixty-five large trunks,
containing costumes of all kinds,
were sent to the public stores. The
customs authorities say that they have
not actually seized the costumes, but
are holding them pending an eXamina-
ton, on which Will be based an action
as to their classification. 1t appears
that a number of Italian opera singers
arrived here on the steamship New
York Sunday III charge of Mr.. Graham,
an agent of Abbey, Schoeffel q Grau.
Each one had from two to tour trunks,
aud it is said declared to the Gus
toms officers that they had nothing
dutiable. An examination on the
docks showed the trunks to be
filled with new costumes, in all enough
tor 200 people. Mr.. Abbey was at the
custom house and told the collector that
there was no intent to smuggle on the
part Of his people. He held bills show
ing that each individual member of the
company had purchased his or her
costumes, and they were therefore
entitled under the law to admission
free Of duty as ''tools of trade" There
were few things, he said, belonging to
the management. and on these he
wanted to pay the duty. He said he
would submit satisfactory proof of all
his statements to the collector. Col
lector Hendricks says that if the facts
are as Mr.. Abbey states the costumes
will be released.

Its Custodian Raked over by
Chicago Paper.
CHICAGO, March 2l.-The Evening
Journal tonight prints three-column
article on the condition of the Lincoln
monument at Springfield, H., and the
ill-treatment given to visitors by j.
Powers, the custodian of the mauso-
leum. The journal says in part:
abraham Lincoln's tomb at Spring
field has fallen from its high place as
the shrine of a mighty nation. The spot
where rests the earthly tenement of one
of the greatest men in American his
tory is fast falling into decay, and the
stately monument erected at the capital
of Illinois to commemorate the love OF
people Is SCARED and mutilated from
the attacks Of vandailstlc relic hunters.
Ills most malignant enemy in the Lost
Cause could scarcely desire more in
dignities heaped upon Honest Abe's
grave than now daily fall to its lot. The
man whose courage, patriotism and IN
vincible faith in the right enabled him
to conquer the rebellious South, to
reunite the dismembered United
States and to give freedom to 4,0OO,-
600 slaves, now lies under the totter-
ing walls of a towering mausoleum
whose stately halls are filed with rub
bish, some times called relics. and which
are exhibited in true dime museum style
by custodian at % cents a head" NJ
merOus cases of vandalism are recited
and large portion of the article devoted
TO Mr.. Powers, declaring that he is dis
courteous TO visitors, and an unfit per
son generally to be III charge or the
monument.

AN ISSUE TO FIGHT OUT.
Ex-Secretary Fairchild Speaks
Plain Words to Democrats.

HlaIn w OfuS To DcmOcfats.
NEW YORK, March 2l.-Charles S.
FairchlG, secretary OF the treasury
during President CleveIand's first ad-
mnistration, addressed the Brookly Il
Democratic club last night. His speech
was regarded as giving an outline OF
the policy of the present administration.
Speaking OF the condition Of the Demo-
cratic party ''within ltself' in this state,
ex-Secretary Fairchild said:
1--WE must see to it that this thing
called the Democratic party is clean,
pure, wise, democratic and respectful
OF every individual right. The Demo-
cratic party in this state, and elsewhere
as well, must recognize the tru this
of Democratic principles within
its own organization. In this
state, if Democracy is to be
what it ought TO be, every man must
know that he has right to 90 to Dem
Ocratlc caucus, deposit his ballot and
have it counted. Every convention,
from the lowest to the highest, must be
controlled by this popular expression Of
a true majority vote. A Democrat. l
am sorry to say, said to me the other
day: All we have to do now is TO 20 on
and enjoy the Offices We have NOR
than this to do. We still have an issue
to fight out. Until this question of JUS
tice within the party is settled the
question OF free government is at issue.
IL we cannot have the right to express
our individual opinions in our Darty's
councils we may as we'll live in Russia.

worry of the last year has been more
than | bargained for, but until this
question is settled Alright we are bound

New York World.
Adam Smith stated the correct doc
trlne in regard to taxation when he de-
clared that 1.-THE subjects of every state
ought to contribute towards the support
of government as nearly as possible I'D
proportion to their respective abilities,
that is in proportion to the revenue
which they respectively enjoy under the
protection of the state.'
For the past thirty years this plain
and Just principle has been ignored by
our national legislature. and by an III
geniOus system of indirect taxation the
poorer classes have been made to bear
far more than their Just proportion or
the cost of government, while the rich
nave been comparatively exempt
TO tax the poor man is TO burden his
business, impair his power OF produc-
ton, limit his usefulness as citizen
and often to restrict his enjoyment OF
the necesSarieS of life. To tax the in
comes of the rich, after they reach
reasonable limit, is to exact tribute only
from luxury, to take a percentage from
needless accumulations and probably TO
limit vicious extravaganza.
The former is weakened by the eX-
action; the latter is strengthened. The
imposition is an injury to the one; 1t IS
a benefit to the other. 1t is but simple
justice to both.
This is to be a Democratic administra-
ton. Its mission is 10 rectify inPquali-
ties and restore justice by an equitable
reimbursement of the burdens of govern
ment. 1t was to effect this long
needed reform that an overwhelming
majority was given at the polls and the
Democratic party placed i'll control OF
the legislative as we'll as the executive
department of the government.
The object cannot be reached more
directly and speedily than by the impo-
sition of a graded income tax. Remove
the burden from the neceSSarieS aud put
it OH the Superfulties.
This is true Democracy, and 1t is slim
nle Justice.

THE APPELLATE COURTS
nnDG Z

The bill creating the appellate courts
is being kept very quiet. This may be
due to more things than one. 1t may be
due to the prompt exposure by the
GLOBE of its Interior purpose. 1t may
be due to a wish to let the effect Of the
exposure blow over. That 1t is with
drawn for the session the GLOBE does
not believe. 1t may wait until the mad
rush of bills in the last hours of the
session, but then or sooner the effort
will be made to dragon it through.
The GLOBE is not resting its state
ment of the real end this bill has in
view on mere assertion of its own. 1t
knows what it is talking about. The
railroad corporations that labored so
hard in the Democratic state convention
to prevent the nomination of justices
BUCK and CAVITY are bound to neu-
traliZe their influence on the bench if
they can do it. They care nothing that
those two men are on the bench by the
votes of the majority of the people.
That only makes it the more imperative
that the wish of the people be thwarted.
The railroads are afraid of the people
only when represented on the bench of
the court Of last resort.
The GLOBE warns the voters who put
Justices BUCK and CAVITY on the bench
that the railroads propose to defeat the
effect of their action by adding two
more justices, to be appointed by the
governor, to that court. 1t warns the
members of the legislature to beware of
this attempt. If successful it will be
short-lived. There will then be four
justices of that court to elect in '94.
The GLOBE serves notice now that if
the scheme is carried out there will be
four new justices of the stamp OF
Justices BUCK and CAVITY who will
take their seats on that bench on New
Years day of '95. There will also be
several statesmen out of a job"

aajority. And so the tale of corruption

majority. And so the tale of corruption
strings out - a sickening length.
Some of the testimony tends to show
thai the hands of the POpulists are not
altogether clean. Kansas seems to be
as thoroughly filled with corruption as
France. 1t is the result of the long and
almost unQuestioned domination of one
party. The Republican party was the
idol of the great majority, and it was
next to impossible to open the eyes of
the masses. Corporations, gam blers,
and all, looked to this party for favors.
They had the money to pay for them,
and the officials had nothing to fear in
taking it.
1t will be many years before the state
can live down the terrible reputation IL
has gained during the past few months.

The passage of the capitol bill in the
house by vote of 68 to 40 was sur
prise to those who favored the measure
as we'll as to those who were opposed to
it. On account of the small vote by
which it was recommended for passage
in the committee of the whole, its Op-
ponents claimed it would be impossible
to secure the requisite number of votes
to secure its final passage. but to their
surprise it had ten to spare. In dis
tributing the cost of the new structure

takes wise course, and it is to he

formerly of Company H, First regiment
of the Minnesota National guard, and
he was charged with swlndling the E.
A. Armstrong Uniform company out Of
$50 by representing himself as a buyer
for his regiment, and then borrowed $50
TO send his wife to st. Paul on the first
train. After being pacihed, and assured
that no one would hit him, the six
foOter was identified by the Armstrong
company as the man who had swindled
them. The numbering captain was
