HARD TO EXPLAIN.

Those members of the house who
voted to kill the bill removing the limit
of liability for the negligent killing of a
human being will have a difficult task
in explaining their votes to their con
stituents. Their vote is a statement
that they do not regard any human life
as worth more to the surviving widow
aud children than $1,000. They Will
have to explain by what process OF cal
culation they reach the conclusion that
man may recover ten or twenty thou
sand dollars for injuries which do not
deprive him of life, and his widow or
children shall have but $1,000 If he be
killed outright. They will have to ex-
plain why they should dare to assume
to set the price on any mans head
They refuse to limit the value of
horse or a hog if Filled by railroad: is
a mans life of so much less dignity
that they should fix price on it? Did
they act on the theory that every man
has his price and that they would make
it uniform?
They have absolutely no honest or
defensible preteXt to hide their votes
behind. The affectation that the bill
was IN the interest of the personal in
jury lawyer, whom they did not wish to
favor, was stripped away when Repre-
sentative WACEK offered. and Repre-
sentative WALSH, the author, accepted,
an amendment providing that the same
jury which awarded the damage should
say how much of it the lawyer should
have. 1t may be that they imagine that
the course of this bill has not been OBJ
served; that it has attracted no atten-
ton, and that they will not have expla-
nations to make. They will find them
selves mistaken. They will find that
the impression is very general that the
bill was a meritorious one; that the rail
roads opposed it strenuously; that their
lobbyists were never more active; that
money was freely used to secure votes.
They will do well if they provide them

Farmer Hatch Makes His Last
Effort to Pass This Meas
upe.
After a Half-Hour's Debate
on the Bill a Vote Was
Taken.
The Bill Did Not Receive the
Necessary Two-Thirds
Vote.
Slight Increase in the Pub
lie Debt During Febru-
airy.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The time
of the house today was consumed princi-
pally in considering a motion made by
Mr.. Hatch to suspend the rules and
pass the antioption bill. The debate
was limited to half an hour, and as the
time was d0led out in two or three
minute portions, there was no oppOr-
tunity to discuss the measure as it de-
served to be discussed; Mr.. Hatch
made the longest speech, and that did
not exceed eight minutes. He then,
stating that he had done his best to pro-
mote the interests of the farmer, left the
subject to the house, and the house de-
cided by vote of 172 to 124 not to agree
to Mr.. Hatch's motion-a two-thirds
vote being necessary under a suspen-
sion of the rules. Some unimportant
business was transacted and the house
adjourned.
In explanation of the vote on the anti
option bill, the fact must be borne in
mind that by the rules of the house dur
ing the last six days of congress any
bill can be taken up out of its turn and
passed ii two-thirds of the members
vote for it. But it requires two-thirds
70 suspend the rules and pass bill. A
simple majority is not sufficient. The
anticipation bill got majority. but not
two-thirds, and consequently failed.

THE GoyERNoRs BILL.

Gov. NELSON'S panacea for the grain
raiSerS of the state has passed the house
by vote so nearly partisan as TO make
it the measure of the Republican party.
This was the intention. You said you
would pass this bill in spite OF us, said
Representative GoRMAN to Representa-
tive GREER, who led his party in the
fight. The GLOBES statement that it
was the purpose TO draft bill on which
the party could go to the country Is
verified. As a party measure this bill
was devised. and as party measure il
will be put through the senate and De-
come a law. 1t is the redemption of the
promises made TO the farmers of the
state, to appease their wrath and pre-
vent their revolt, that the Republican
party would redress their grievances.
Those pledges saved the state to them:
Tor the poor, eredulOuS folk believed all
that was told them, despite the fact that
the present laws were made to correct
these same evils and are admitted fail
ureS.
Mr.. GREER says he is willing to meet
the Democrats on the stump in defense
of tn; bill. The GLOBE is sure he will
be accommodated. Two harvests will
intervene between its passage and the
next election in which its merits will be
challenged. and the GLOBE has not the
slightest doubt that the most difficult
job which Mr.. GREER and his fellow
stumpers will find cut out for them in
that campaign Will be the defense OF and
apology for this bill as it works itself
out in practice.
The GLOBE is glad to see that the
Democrats stood Loyalty together in their
opposition to this innocuouS bill. When
the next campaign comes on, with its re-
newal of the Democratic fight for really
free, open and competitive grain mar
kets, the party Will not be handicapped
with a record of Democratic votes in
favor of the measure it attacks. For
the Democrats of the state the GLOBE
cheerfuIly accepts the challenge ten
dered by this bill.

WE ARE ONE PEOPLE.

last evening Vice President MORT ON
and wife entertained royalty at Wash
ington Vice President-elect STEVENSON
and wife. Friday evening President
HARRISON gives splendid reception at
the White house to Pres ident-elect
CLEVELAND and wife. Our country
has indeed arrived at a happy period
when so soon after heated political
strife all the rapcor is forgotten, and
only one thought is uppermost-that we
are all Americans, interested alike In
the welfare of our country and the hap
piness OF the people. We may differ
in opinion as to the policy which will
best serve the country, but this ma
tional feeling is all indication that the
difference is an honest one. The time
has come when we are proud of our peo-
pie not because they are Democrats or
Republicans. but because they are
Americans. Four years ago MIR. CLEvE-
LAND took Mr.. HARRISON in his own
carriage to and from tue place of in
auguration: and now Mr.. HARRISON
will do the same thing with Mr. CLEvE-
LAND. 1t is right that we shall have
different political parties; our country
is safer thereby. 1t is human to differ
in opinion; noble to be able to lay diff
ferences aside and assemble as ma
tioual family. Bigotry is not American;
and we are happy IN the reflection that
We have the broadcast and grandest peO-
pie in the world. We shall continue to
have political strifes, and warm ones; it
is best that we should have; but let us
hope that the national feeling will al
ways be as happily displayed afterward.

THE TIDE Is TURNED.

The defeat of the HATCH-WAsH-
BURN anti-option bill marks the flood
tide of paternalism in our national leg
iSlature, and the beginning of the ebb
which will not cease until it has swept
out into oblivion all its fungOid grOwthS
of the last twenty-five years. Just as
men cut notches In the trees along the
river banks to note the highest reach OF
some extraordinary flood for reference
in calmer years, so this infamous bill
will remain to show how nearly the
food of paternaIism had come to sub
merging the autonomy of the states in
its rage to regulate the affairs of men.
PaternaliSm has had a long aud
strangely successful career in congress.
1t first took the manufacturers under its
sheltering wing, and fed them from the
earnings of the people. 1t took the
railroad corporations under guardian
ship, and gave them money and en-
dowed them with princelY domains. 1t
strangled our marine in It's fruitless eff
forts TO energiZe the shipyards. 1t
taxed the people to pay ships for sailing
prOfitless voyages. 1t takes money from
all TO give bounties to makers OF sugar.
If it has not acted in any case, it is only
because it was not asked. 1t was willing
and the people were meek. 1t has run
its crazy course, and its days are ended.
Let the people rejoice.

SENATOR'S GIVE WAY.

The Sherman Bond Amendment
Dropped From the Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The post
Office appropriation bill came before the
senate today, and was discussed so some
extent as to the route of the Southern
fast mail. The question was not dis
posed of when the conference report on
the sundry civil appropriation bill was
presented. This led to long financial
discussion on the Sherman bond amend
ment, the result being, however, that
the amendment was receded from by
the senate. Outside of these two ap-
preparation bills, the senate had before
it, i'll the morning hour. the McGarra-
han bill, which went over, however,
without action, and the Hudson river
bridge bill. which was taken up, but
disappeared when the conference re-
port was taken up-a result which
ranked in the mind of Mr.. Hill, and led
that senator to upbraid Mr.. Allison for
his share III the legislative struggle.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

The black smoke which rolls out of
chimneyS from coal fires is particles Of
coal, and the more dense the smoke the
greater is the waste of the fuel. A poor
stove often wastes more than half the
coal, and a very good stove will cou-
sumo 70 per cent of the fuel. II one
could devise means of removing and
piling together the amount of SCOT he
gathers while walking the streets of St.
Paul some days, he would have in a
few hours DECENTRALIZATION enough to
make pretty respectable fire. 1t seems
strange that s5lf-lnterest should not
drive the owners of large buildings to
use means to prevent this great waste
of fuel, but neither this nor the COM
plants of the thousands of sufferers
from the smoke nuisance have the
slightest weight with many of them.
However. people have suffered here
and elsewhere until inventive genius is
aroused to the effort Of finding a means
of consuming coal so completely that
there shall be nothing to escape through
the chiDneys. Recently two methods
have been discovered which are said to
accomplish the desired end. A German
inventor tried the experiment of grind :
ing the coal into fine dust, then blowing
into the flames with a machine. He
found that the dust ignited and burned
up completely while floating, sending
out no smoke, and leaving only very
small per cent of ashes to settle on the
bottom of the furnace. The process
seems to be a complete solution of the
smoke waste and nuisance problem, and
it is reported that many of the heavy
manufacturers of Germany are putting
IN the machines of the inventor. A New
England inventor is reported to have
discovered a chemical which will cause
the complete combustion Of the coal
which has been dampened with it. 1t
is not necessary to grind the fuel: the
fluid is simply thrown upon the chunks.
The expense of the chemical is not yet
stated, but 1t is devoutly to be hoped
that it is cheap. for, unless the use of it
would make great reduction in the
cost of heating, it is fair to presume
from past experiences that many owners
OF large buildings would continue the
abominable smoke nuisance in prefer
ence to using the chemical. No Amer
lean city has found it possible to
abate the smoke nuisance by ordl-
nance, and the only hope for relief
lies in the power of invention. St. Paul
has tried the ordinance process and
failed. The fear that the ordinance
might drive away manufacturers pre-
vented the adoption of anything but one
exempting them from its provisions.
This was, of course, class legislation,
and the ordinance was of no account.
The experience here is the same as in
other cities.

IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

Republican Perseverance Re-
warded at Last.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-After three
intellectual attempts TO get an executive
session, the Republicans were success
full today, the understanding being,
however, that nothing of disputed
character should be considered. Effort
was made to reconsider the vote by
which the nomination of John V. l..
FindIay, of Maryland, to be Gillian ar
btrator, was rejected. The effort was
not a very hearty one, and met
with failure. The tacit agree
ment regarding disputed .nomina-
tions did not prevent the preliminary
steps being taken in the Hanchett NOM
ination. AS soon as the executive ses-
sion began this nomination was referred
to the judiciary committee, and before
it was over the committee held meet
ing on the floor, and by strict party
vote reported the nomination favorably.
This was as far as the matter could pro-
coed today, and Republicans admit that
there is little hope of the confirmation

A FRIGID WINTER.
Colder Than Usual Over Principal
Agricultural Districts.


WASHINGTON, March 1.-The entire
winter has been colder than usual over
the principal observation-disclosures. The
only month showing an excess of tenn
perature since October over any extern
sive portion of the country is the month
of January, during which it was warmer
than usual in the Rocky mountain dis
tricts, but it was unusually cold over
the eastern nalf of the United States.
The records show that the principal
farming districts have experienced four
consecutive months of unusually cold
weather. At the close of the month the
country was covered with snow, gener-
ally in districts north Of the fortieth
parallel, from New England westward
to the Rocky mountains, the depth of
snow over the greater portion of New
England, the lake region and Minnesota
exceeding twelve inches. and in some
places in New England, Minnesota and
Wisconsin exceeding thirty inches. The
greater portion of the winter wheat has
been unprotected during the month, al
though the northern portion Of the belt
IS now covered with snow.
