CHEAP AND NASTY.

Mai. MCKINLEY gave expression to
the innermost thought of paternalism
when he denounced the demand for
cheaper articles of life'S needs as uu-
American, and declared that "cheap
and nasty go together" Mr.. HARRISON.
before he was president, gave frank
avOwai to the same esoteric doctrine
when he said that Il am one of those
uninStructcd economists who do not be-
lieVe in cheap things. A cheap coat
means to me cheap man under it,"
But, as in some rellgions the secret
doctrines are withheld from general
knowledge by the priesthood of the
inner circles, while other doctrines are
given out for popular consumption. SO
in paternalism he purpose of making
things dearer Is a secret diyulged only
by the indiscreet trankness of such men
as MCKINLEY and HARRISON. The
pOpulace are sought to be beguiled by
declarations of quite the opposite aim.
But the practice has been in accord
with the inner purpose. The day when
that pig fell into the pit on the Michigan
peninsula and its owner, in extricating
the pig. discovered copper, was black
letter day for the consumers, instead of
a red-letter day. Congress slapped a tax
on copper imports to prevent the people
realizing to the full the benefit of that
great gift of the Almighty. When the
bOraX beds of California were found.
with their inexhaustible and cheap sup
ply, congress at once taxed the Persian
article six cents pound, so as to save
the people from the nastiness of cheap
bOraX.
When a parcel of spectators had
convinced the country, and gullIble
Englishmen. that this country pos
sessed mines of tin of much greater
richness than those of Cornwall or the
Straits. congress, without waiting for
the demonstration Of the truth of the
statements. laid tax of four cents a
pound on imports of pig tin, to take
effect next July, that being the date at
which it was expected the mines could
be developed and tin produced.
But the tin bubble, after having ex-
plotted the purses OF the Englishmen
and played something of Il part in ma
tionaI campaign, is exploded. The Eng
lish chairman of the Temescal mine
ruefully tells the stockholders that the
few tons of ore produced had cost them
a couple thousand dollars each, and that
the funds and the ore had given out.
The Harney Peak company shuts down
its mills and mines with suddenness
that shows that the stockholders have
decided to keep their 'tin," and quit
hunting for it in the Black Hills.
But the tax remains, and after July
pig tin coming to this country Will cost
the importer $500 a ton more because
the late Republican senate refused to
pass the house bill repeating the useless
tax inspired, no doubt, by an earnest
wish to keep the users of tinware in this
country from the nastiness of cheap tin
ware.

Bright'S disease, gout and other dis
eases at his residence on West avenue
shortly after O'clock this afternoon,
after a very long and painful illness,
aged ffty-five years. Over a week ago
his eyesght failed, and for several
days he has been almost lily
blind. Mr.. Hyatt was taken sud-
denly ill late in February, but
rallied sufficiently to be about the
house and subsequently was enabled to

bedside, but the sick man was unable 10
speak, and passed into state of coma,
from which he did not revive. Death
came peacefully, the patient falling

Bourgeois Resignation Re-
garded Very Seriously by
Politicians Of France.
President Carnot Temporar-
lily Gives M. Develle the
Vacant Portfolio.
The Testimony Of Madame
Cottu the Sensation Of
the Salons.
FevePish Excitement Every
where Over the Probable
Developments.

PARIS, March 12.-The cabinet crisi
iDaugurated by the resignation of NJ.
Bourgeois has been shown today to be
beyond hope of repair by patchwork.
AT a cabinet meeting this morning the
ministers agreed that every effort
should be made TO induce NJ. Bourgeois
to reconsider his resignation, and, in
the hope that the efforts would be sue
cessful, it was decided that nc new
minister should be appointed until NJ.
Bourgeois should have given evidence
in the assizes court, and should have eX
planned to the deputies his position. II
Nj. Bourgeois should still insist then
upon his retirement. another minister
should be appointed, but this was re-
garded as an improbable event OF the
crisis. This afternoon several minis
ters called upon NJ. Bourgeois, but
when the cabinet reaSSembled this
evening NJ. Ribor announced that Nj.
Bourgeois had been deaf to oil argu-
ments, and that he insisted that he
would not return to office. Subse-
Quently, at Nj. Ribot's request, Presi-
dent Carnot signed decree giving to
NJ. Develle temporarily NJ. Bourgeois
portfolio. Henry Brisson insists upon
his retirement from the presidency of
the parliamentary commission of in
quiry into the Panama scandal. His
principal reason for resigning, he Ie-
peatS, is the weakness OF his health.
The sensation caused by Madame
Cottu'S testimony yesterday does not
abate. The attempt to propagate the
opinion that she was animated by de-
sire to avenge the sentence of her
husband when she gave her evidence
against the government has failed com
pIetely. The Gaulois publishes an in
tervieW with her in which she says
that she was actuated merely by de-
termination to tell the truth regardless
of personal interests or domestic af-
fections. M. Soinoury, the police Of
fetal who tried to get from Nine. Cottu
documents compromising Royalist
deputies, has resigned from the direct
orship of the penitentiary department.
Police Commissary NIcole, who ar
ranged the interview between him and
Nine. Cottu, will be dismissed. Deputy
Despres has given notice that he will
interpellate the government in the
chamber of deputies as to Nine. COttu's
evidence. In the senate NJ. Morris will
make similar Interpolation.
The ministers are awaiting with IN
tense anxiety the event of M. Bour-
geois' appearance on the witness stand
in the Panama trial tomorrow. The
general conviction is that NJ. Soinoury
would never have taken the steps he
took without the cognizance of the cab
met, and perhaps of NJ. Carnot. The
developments of tomorrow are awaited
with feverish expectancy. The excite
ment today has not been exceeded
since the beginning of the Panama dis
closures. 1t is thought that only good
luck can save the RibOt ministry.

received two very important kilograms
from the scene of the trouble tonight,
which indicate that the strike will be

the territory of the Ann ArbOr

and stated that the strikers, through
Chief Arthur. were willing to declare
the strike off if the railroad officials
would meet their employees as indiVid-
uals and listen to their grievances.
Vice President Ashley, after relating
these facts TO reporter, said that he
agreed to those terms and would start
immediately for Toledo to treat with his
employees. He said it could be stated
authOritaJively that the strike would be
declared off al noon tomorrow.

WYOMING EXTRA SESSION.
One May Be Called 10 Choose a
Senator.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 12.-Re-
liable advices from Wyoming Demo-
Gratis in Washington tonight are to the
effect that the senator appointed, a. G.
Beck with, will not be seated. Both the
law and the precedent are against him
and likewise political eXpediency. now
that the Legislature has adjourned with
out choosing senator. There are two
Republican senators appointed, and the
Democrats will therefore be the losers
by admitting BeCkwith, as they must
necessarily concede to Montana and
Washington what they grant to WyOm-
ing. 1t is claimed here by those high
in the councils of Wyoming Democrats
that Gov. Osborne has been appriSed
of all these Circumstances, and, in
fact, that the governor is in constant
communication with Senator German
and the other members of the Demo-
cratic steering committee. The gov
ernOr will, therefore, be advised to call
an extra session for the purpose of
electing a successor to Senator Warren.
The best informed lawyers question the
constitutional rights of the governor
doing this, and that is said to account
for the governors triple trip to Denver.
He is said to have consulted his lawyer,
Hon. Thomas NJ. Patterson. 1t is hoped
here by both Democrats and Republic
ans that an extra session OF the legis-
lature will be called, for the legislature
adjourned so unexpectedly that great
amount of necessary legislation was
precipitateiy nipped in thu bud. An
extra session would enable the legis
lators to dress up their blunderS and
placate in some degree their belligerent
constituencies.

NO STRIKE JUST NOW.
The Chicago Switchmen Conclude
Not to Go Out.

CHICAGO, March 12.-Chicago switch
men will remain at work for the pres
ent, at least. This decision was reached
at meeting of the grievance committee
this afternoon. Every one of the thirty
two Chicago roads was represented, and
majority of the members voted against
ordering strike. A mass meeting of
switchnlen will be called for some day
this week, at which the decision of
the grievance committee will be pre-
sented ana the whole matter discussed.
Grand Master Wilson, of the Switch
mems Aid association, is much pleased
with the outcome of today's meeting, as
he believes strike at this time would
be an injudicious move. He declines,
however, to discuss the probability of a
walkout at some more opportune time
in the future. A portion of the new
men who had been secured in anticipa-
tion of strike Will be given employ
ment during the worlds fair rush. The
others will be given transportation to
their homes as soon as the railroad
managers are assured that all danger of
a strike is over.

VOTING nv MACHINERY,

The genius Of invention has come to
the aid of the voter and Che relief of the
officers of elections. He unites the
secrecy of the Australian system with
the infallibility of the machine in
counting. The labor of the judges and
clerks is reduced to the ordinary work
of receiving votes, Identifying them
and checking them on the lists. Tie
dread of the long, weary, exhaustive
hours of counting the ballots and
tabulating them is swept away entirely.
When the voting is done the votes are
counted, the totals given, and all the
officers have to do is to certify to the re-
turns and go home 10 supper but little
belated.
The town of Warsaw, in New York,
having about 1,2OO voters, used one OF
these machines at its election last
month. Nine hundred and fifty votes
were cast IN the eleven hours that the
polls were open. The average time
taken to cast a ballot on the machine
was twenty seconds, the shortest eight
secondhand the sloweSt voter consumed
two minutes in voting. The two ma
chimes could have voted 1900 men at the
average rate of time. 1.-The blind vot-
er," says the account, handled 1t as
quick as the ordinary voter, in fact, do
ing better than some with eyes"
If any machine has been devised
which will relieve the officers of our
elections from the brain-and-body-eX-
hausting work of counting the ballots
which our method involves, and OF
which there was so much complaint
last fall; if it will enable the public TO
know within a few moments after the
polls close what the result is, then
clearly the state should take steps at
tins session of the legislature to procure
a supply of them for the state. These
reasons are sufficient, without mention
ing the dangers that lie in these long
delayed counts; danger not only OF
errors. but of dishonest manipulation.
The filing fees now charged candi-
dates might be turned into fund which
would be ample to pay for the ma
chimes. 1t more than Suffices for the
payment of printing ballots, an expense
that would be dispensed with. The
GLOBE suggests that the governor be
authorized to appoint a commission
with power to examine and test the ma
chimes, and to adopt such one as per-
forms the work with accuracy, whose
simplicity of construction insares dura-
biity, and to arrange for sufficient
number for use at the next election. Pro
vision should be made in the bill for the
use of the filing fees in payment for the
machines. There is nothing more GER
tain than that invention will answer the
demand for such a machine if it has not
already done it, and it is equally sure
that the people will approve of their
use if it performs the work and obviates
the intense strain of the present method
OH the officers.

PURPOSE.

The uses of sorrow l comprehend
Better and better at each years end.
Deeper and deeper / seem to see
Why and wherefore it has TO be.
Only after the dark, wet days
Do we fully rejoice in the suns bright rays.
Sweeter the crust tastes after the fast
Than the sated gourmand's finest repast
The faintest cheer sounds never amiss
To tine actor who once heard hiss.
And one who has dwelt with his grief alone
Hears all the music to friendships tone.
So. better and better comprehend
How sorrow ever would be our friend.

THE LITTLE GIRLTHAT CRIED

Once the little girl that cried,
Looking through her tears espied
Lovely notes of colored light
In the fringes of her eye
just as when the weather clears,
And the clouds are put to flight
There's q rainbow In the sky.
And tho little girl that cried,
When she saw this lovely sight
This fine rainbow in her tears
Would forget the reason why
She had thought it best to cry.
