THE MEANEST MAN.

COLONEL F~AIRBROTHER, editor of THE DUR
HAM IN. e o who wears with an unpar-
dOnable pride the belt for being the meanest
newspaper man now on earth, is still dealing
sledge-hammer blows at the pension system.
declaring that it should be abolished or nearly
so. From the liberal patronage the paper re-
ceives, we are led to believe that it reflects the
sentiment of its constituency. Sparkling wit
and scathing sarcasm abound through all the
pages of the paper and especially so in that
department where politics are treated, which
has gained THE LOB a national reputation
and given it d place as the leading journal of
the south. democratic friends tell US that
the war is over and that it is very wrong to
wave the bloody shirt, but it is considered all
right for thsir party papers and public men to
pour out their TRADE on the pension system
and the old soldiers.-St. Paul (Neb.) Free
Press.
The editor of THE GLOBE for a long
time lived among the people Of Nebraska,
and as he made it a point to always pay
his debts and be decent, he does not OBJ
ject to being called the meanest newspa
per man on earth by a gentleman who
runs a republican newspaper.
Win GOD our witness, let US nope that
the war is over.
The bleached bones Of the boys who
once wore the gray are now under the
soil of this rich Southland-they paid .
price which no Yankee would have en-
tertained, but they fought and they died

The death Of the southern boys and the
southern chivalry will always stand in
history as a bit # valDr and honesty
and d~ecency that the North has never
approached.

MAUDLIS

The following expansive and elaborate
bit of rot is now going through the news
papers, much to the disgust of the level
headed women of the land:
Mrs. GROVER C~LEvELASD, the wife of the
president-elect does not approve of the in
PRODUCTION of crinoIine. She told several ladies
who called upon her at Lakewood that she was
satisfied with the present style of dress. and
saw no reason why there should be a change
None of her inaugural dresses are to be made
to be worn with a crinOline.
To the woman who refuses to glide in
the glimmer of some president elect, n
to the woman who, in her home, knows
enough 10 know that she can receive PEG.
pie of all parties, 1t makes no difference
what this really estimable creature OF
chance told some other woman at Lake
wood, yet THE GLOBE wishes to endorse
MRS. GROVER, and yet say at the same
time, that she has nothing to do with the
style of dresses or the style Of hOOpskirts.
There are women in this country who
have brains, and they haYe ideas-the
sequence of an active brain-and there
are hundreds of thousands of them, and
to use a s%criptural phrase, they do not
care a continental damn as to what Mrs
CLEVELAND wears or what she does. Mrs.
CLEVELAND was never heard Of until she
married the man from Buffalo.
And THE GLOBE would like to ask, in
all candor and in all sincerity, what right
has MRS. CLEVELAND to pose as the great
fashion plate and fashion bazaar of all this
country, and should she, in her position,
desire to introduce styles that would i'm
poverish ladies just as estimable, yet
whose husbands are not president Of the
United States?
There have been millions of sWeet-faced
girls, girls as pure, as %virtuOus and as
honest as Mrs. GROVER CLEVELAND, who
have walked down the dark aisles of Oh
security, and rubbed away their lives over
a washtub, and who have died and who
have been forgotten.
And the world is numb and dumb.
pau DCSuuSC IL OLEh lLA
every inch a lady-happens to be the wife
of the president-elect of the United States,
there is much ado about her.
When the American people who laugh
at English aristocracy pull down their
vest and concede that they are aping
them-but that they will do so no more
there may come a time for reformation.
THE GLOBE does not speak for the
Solid South, but it does speak for the
latitude and longitude in which it circu-
lates, and it says that mothers and sisters
have sense enough of their own, without
advice from Mrs. GROVER CLEVELAND,
to know what they are doing. Let US
ring it off here with the same advice to
all the members of the Royal family.

HOW TO GET BETTER JURIES.

The Washington Post makes this use
O. good, sound sense: The appearance of
JOHN JACOB AsTOR in the city court of
New York in answer to a summons for
jury service is in striking contrast to the
course of most rich men, and, in fact, Of
many business men, who are in the habit
of evading this service on all sorts of ex-
Cuses, or paying their fines. JUDGE
FITZSIMMONS, of the above mentioned
court, states that out of even hundred
jurors paneled not more than thirty are
secured on an average. The result is
that a great deal of time is lost in getting
jurors, and the quality of those finally
obtained is often below the proper stan.
dard of intelligence and knowledge,
while those who do serve are longer de-.
tanned and made TO suffer for the failure
OF others
MR.. AsTOR has set a precedent which
others might follow 10 the advantage of
the business of the courts and without
any great hardship to thems, Ives. Mr..
MONTGOMERY SEARS, the wealthiest man
In BostoG, set a similar good example
only a few weeks ago, believing it 10 be
q matter of obligation on his part as a
good citizen But it is not the rich men
alone who are in the habit Of shirking in
this matter. 1t is too much the custom
The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1893-02-21

with prominent business men generally
to get off if they can, apparently forget
ting that they should be willing to make
some little personal sacrifice for the gen.
eral good.
OF course there is no way Of COMPEL
ing a man to do jury duty who is able to
pay his fine or offer a reasonable excuse,
and reform can only conn through a
better realization of the importance of
the service and of the benefit to the adj
minis:ration of justice which consists in
its faithful and intelligent performance.

THE Investigations of an American
doctor in Europe has led him to the con.
~clusion that a general outbreak of chol.
era on the continent the coming summer
is strongly probable. He found that
there had been concealment regarding
the ravages of the disease last year, and
the tendency everywhere among the
health authorities appears to be to keep
the truth from the public. There may
be wisdom in this, since fear is said 10
have an effect in producing chorera, and
in view of this the denials that have
come from Marseilles, Nice and other
places of reported cholera are to be re-
ceived with allowance. The threatened
situation abroad enforces the necessity
of extreme precautions here TO prevent
the introduction of the disease, and they
should everywhere be provided with as
little delay as possible. Only in this
way can the United States escape an cpl
demic of cholera this year.

J.. MORTON.

LAKEWOOD, n. j., Feb. 17.-MR. CLEVELAND
announced this evening that j. STERLING
MORTON. of Nebraska, who visited him at his
request to-day, had been rendered the secre-
taryship of agriculture and had accepted it.
Mr.. MORTON is one of the most prominent
democrats in the state of Nebraska. He has
been in the state legislature and was talked of
as a candidate for governor last fall. Very
little is known of him in the East, but he has
been a prominent figure in the West for a
number of years. He had a proprietary in
terest in an Omaha newspaper at one time.
Some of this accurate press news is
| shown in the above to be what it gen
| orally is. The above rot say he was
talked of" to be a candidate for COVER.
nor last fall. Mr.. MORTON was g candi-
date for governor last fall, and made the
bravest fight that was ever made by a
democrat in that country.
The talk that very little was known OF
him in the East, is simply moon. shine,
He was a confidential friend of COVER.
NOR TILDEN at Grammacy park.
The Geographic announcement that he
was talked of as a candidate for COVER
nor last fail is another piece of lucid
news. In the face Of an opposition
which he knew would win, Mr.. MORTON
ran for governor, and over 10000 people
voted for him.
He never at any time had an interest
in an Omaha newspaper. AS THE GLOBE
has said before, he is one Of the bravest,
b~rainiest and boldest men that ever
| crossed the Missouri river.

GOULD'S PERSONAL TAXES.

EX-CONGREssMAN JACK ADAMS has
written a letter to CORPORATION COUN-
Sell CLARK, suggesting an attempt to
| recover back taxes on JAY GOULD's per-
sonal estate. The difference between the
assessed value of personal estate and its
real value has become more apparent
through the recent statute compelling an
affidavit of the value of an estate to be
filed with the petition for the probate of
a will in order to assess the collateral in
heritance tax.
The value of personal estate is now,
however, usually the amount for which
it can be assessed, because there are
many non taxable securities. Besides,
tax-gatherers have about come to the
conclusion that attempts to tax the true
value of personality simply drove it out
of the state or into n~on-taxable invest
ments.
Mr.. ADAMS letter quotes the aft lavit
of JAY GOULD's executors. GEORGE J..
HOWARD, and EDWIN GOULD, that MIR.
GOULD left personal property of an
estimated value of $7O,OOO,000. He goes
on to say:
Thus so, 000, 900 is the executors sworn es-
innate of the personal estate at death. which
is to be compared with $500,OO0, the assessed
valuation for the proceeding year.
The assessed valuation, it is to be observed,
was based upon representations made by Mr..
GOULD in person, and under oath. to the com
m~issionrrs. in accordance with the provisions
of section 800 of the city consolidation act.
Mr.. GOULD wealth may have fluctuated
between $40 100000 and $500, 900 during the in
terVal of less than two years between the
dates of the two estimates, but while this is
possible. it is not at all probable.
But assuming that of this so, 10000 0O a part
was not assessable, as being stocks exempt
from taxation, still it is a matter of public no
tOriety that Mr.. U died possessed of a
large amount of money, bonds aud other asses
sable personal property far in excess of $780,
600, the amount for which he was assessed upon
his sworn statement, as above mentioned.
l write you thus, believing that if Mr..
GOULD's sworn representations to the tax com
missioners can be shown to be materially or
substantially erroneous, the amount of the
loss resulting to the city can be recovered
from the estate for the past six years.
l beg to suggest that the question involved
is eminently a question to be settled in the
courts, and that you take such action as you
may deem necessary to have it settled.
