tent with the perpetuation of their rot
and ruin? We have ou:grown the des-
potisms of other ages, we have eX-
changed the personal wishes ard follies
for the order of laws and constitu-
tions. shall we not some day Danish also
the orgies of Phenicia and the pollutions
OF Babylon? The enfranchiSement of
man means liberty, and the elevation of
man shall mean decency and order.
There are three things that we want
now in the evolution of good municipal
government. They are economy, capac-
lty and public order, based on law. We
want economy. Reckless extravaganza
in puSlic expenditures, the creation or
the maintenance of public offices for the
benefit of personal or party friends, the
manipulation of public improvements
to serve private interests, are forms of
dishonesty as alien to good government
as the craft of the burglar or the high
Wayman. The use of more money than
is needful for an honest and careful ad-
ministration of public affairs is as crim-
lnai against the taxpayer as any other
form of stealing. There should be no
gap between official and personal in
tegrlty. A man In Office should be held
to as strict account as the administrator
of an estate or the repository of trust
funds. We want capacity. Every de-
partment Of city government should
be managed by trained expert. The
reward of partisan activity should be
the sense OF duty done. Public office
should be given to those most COM
petent to perform public service. The
dominant party being responsible for
the control of affairs has right to
manage those affairs. but party fealty
is no substitute for special capacity for
the post to be filled. Every party must
be Judged by the wisdom and energy
with Which it serves the public.

STEAMER OHIO LOST,
She Strikes a Snag and Goes to
the Bottom.

MEMPHIS, Feb. 1s.-The total loss of
the steamer Ohio at Cottonwood Point.
$50 miles above this port, is reported by
the steamer Gayoso, Capt. D. K. Joplin,
which passed the sunken vessel Satur-
day en route from Cairo to Memphis.
While backing from Cottonwood Point.
the Ohio hung fast on a snag, which
punctured her hull and caused
her 10 settle with the stern in
twenty-five feet of water and
her bow still hung fast above the water.
The passengers and crew were all out
on shore when the Gayoso came, await.
ing the Ferd Herrold from here. The
Ohio had 64S bales of Memphis cotton,
$4,000 stones, and lot of hides, scrap
iron and sundries. She left here Fri
day last, and was nearly twenty-four
hours out when the accident happened.
Pilot John Carroll came here on the
GayoSo and left for Cincinnati tonight.
The second clerk also came down. 1t
is not believed the Sunken craft can be
raised. She IS insured in Cincinnati
for $4,000. The Ohio was commanded
by Capt. John Newton, with Mr.. Werh-
man as clerk. The vessel has been

company between Cincinnati and
Memphis for ten years or more. She

TARIFF BILL WORN OUT.
THE ORIGINAL COPY HAD TO BE DE-
STROYED.
CONCESSIONS ARE DEMANDED
BY So Many Senators That It Will
BE Impossible to Report the
Bill to the Full Senate Com
mittee on Tuesday The
Measure Still in a Very Chaotic
Condition.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The Demo-
cratic members of the committee on
! finance have decided that they will not
be able to report the tariff bill to the
full committee on Tuesday next. as
they had announced they would be, and
one of the members of the subcommit-
tee which has had the bill under con-
sidefation said today that he would not
attempt to say when the bill could be
reported. 81 shall be very we'll satis-
+ fied," he said, 'if the bill is in shape
to be reported by the beginning of next
week." The committee had been very
hopeful just before the adjournment
Friday night of being able to fulfill
+ Chairman Voorhees, promise to get the
bill in readiness for the full committee
this week, but, after putting in a long
days work at the close of week
given up almost exclusively to the bill.
the members found 1t still in chaotic
condition., and were compelled to
admit to themselves, as they did
later to outside inQuirers. that the
task they had set themselves had been
impossible of accomplishment. The rea-
son for the postponement is discovered
In the fact that the work of satisfying
Democratic senators has been found 4
very difficult one, and the construction
of bill that is sure to be accepted by
them an undertaking requiring many
changes of purpose and alterations of
the figures at first made. When the
subcommittee began their work they
had before them the draft of bill upon
which it was believed it would be an
easy matter to secure agreement, but
this bill has been changed in some re-
spects several times, and has become so
worn from handling and eraSures that it
bas become necessary to destroy the
original copy and replace it with new
one. There is still much demand for
concessions on the part of senators on
minor items. and many Of the most i'm
portant features In the bill are unacted
upon. Sugar is included in this list,
and it looks as if Its fate would be about
the last question to be determined by
the subcommittee.

LET me say at the beginning that
Moses never wrote one word of the
Pentateuch," and the speaker nodded
his head number of times. slowly, at
the same time waving his right hand,
with his index finger pointed toward
the audience. "And any clergyman
who is honest will tell you the same
thing. 1t is not an ordinary thing
for man to write an ac-
count Of his own death. 1t is
not an ordinary thing for man
to write an account of cities that did not
exist 800 years after his death. But for
present purposes we will say that Moses
wrote the Pentateuch; and then let US
look at his account of the creation of
the world. He tells us that the world
was made out of nothing. | cannot

before the creation of the world,

STILL IN THE BALANCE.
Nobody Yet Appointed District
Attorney for Minnesota.

attorney for Minnesota.
Special TO the Globe. -
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-A new can
didate for the position of United States
district attorney has been added to the
brilliant galaxy of high talent known to
be aspirants to that exalted position.
This is no other than the well-known
lawyer. MIR. Calhoun, of St. Cloud. The
GLOBE correspondent -endeavored to
gain some information from Maj. Bald
win-in whose district the new aspirant
liveS-as to whether MIR. Calhoun had
filed papers with the department, but
the representative from the Sixth dis
trict professed the profoundest ignor-
ance of anything concerning Mr.. Cal
houn or his candidacy.
The inside of the situation apparently
is that Attorney General Olney has an
lnsurmOuntable aversion to Mr.. McCaf-
ferty-the reason for which is unac-
countable upon any other hypothesis
than that the prejudice is absorbed
from Boston. But Mr.. McCafferty has
very powerful and very loyal backing
in Minnesota, and that makes itself felt
with President Cleveland. Thus the
matter remains suspended in the air, so
to speak. One day it looks certain for
McCafferty, and the next somebody else
seems to be the favorite. 1t is not known
just how strong Mr. Calhoun's backing
is, but 1t is known that the attorney
general has received assurances of his
ability and character sufficiently cordial
to make hint MIR. Olney) seek all the out
side sources possible for further infor-
nation.

II want to do what l can toward civil

were the opening words of the orator.
as he waved his left hand like magic
wand toward the audience. II want to
educate the people to give the clergy a
little liberty, so that they NAV feel free
TO follow their honest convictions,
L am true friend of the clergy:
but somehow they have not generally
found 1t out. | want you to give them
an opportunity to be honest and tell
what they actually believe" The coll
onel ran on in this strain some mo-
ments, convulsing the audience with
laughter. and waving his left arm not
vigorously. but slowly and as though he
were driving nails into each point by
mere taps. "And now l want to tell YOU
That the smartest thing about YOU is yont
doubts" AT this point the colonePs
LETT arm seemed to have become over
charged with electricity, and he waved
1t over his head and transferred the
current TO his right arm, and began
waving that as if hammerlng instead OF
tapping. AFTER you have freed the
clergy L want you to free the politician.
AT present the politician is like the CELL
ter of the earth-he draws everything
to him and weighs not a pound.
Next L want you to elevate the intellect
or honesty of the college professor, so
that he may be able to understand and
have the principle to teach the truth;
SO that he may have the courage to
grasp and reveal the truths of science
and bury the unreasonable teachings of
God. When l speak of God l mean
the God of the Pentatouch. There
may be away in the vast depths
or the universe Being whose
dreams are of the stars. There may be,
but [ do not know it, and / know as
much about it as all the college pro-
fessoIs, all the great diyines, all the
popes that ever lived. l do not pretend
to say that there is not God; but do
know that there is no such God as the
one of the PeEtateuch. There will be
this cruel oppressor as long as you
put any book above your reason. The
greatest of all tyrants is that book called
the Bible. 1t has filled the world with
superstition. with malice. with hatred,
with cruelty. with oppression" The
colonel dilated at some length upon

glasses now while speaking, and the
only difference to be observed in the
delivery of his famous lecture concern

Portrait OF Former Occupant to
Grace the White House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-To the in
teresting collection of portraits which
hang on the walls of the rooms of state
in the White house will be added this
week fine picture of Mrs. President
Harrison. The donors are the members
of the patriotic order Daughters of the
American Revolution, who will meet
here for their third annual congress the
last three days OF the week, assembling
on WashingtOn's birthday. Most of the
former mistresses of the White house
have received official recognition from
the government by permission given
that their portraits should be hung i'll
the executive mansion. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union presented
some years ago a painting of Mrs.
President Hayes, one of the most dis
tlngulshed eXemplarieS Of its principles.
Mrs. Harrison was member of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
holding its highest Office and presiding
over its deliDel ations while she was in
the White house.
President Cleveland has written to
the society signifying his Willingness to
accept the portrait. Ii was painted by
Huntington, of New York; is five feet
by seven. and Is regarded by critics as
an exceptionally fine work. it repre-
sents Mrs. Harrison at the age of thirty
years attired in brocaded gown of
cerulean blue, With train held III the left

BEDE'S APPOINTMENT.
1t Is Pleasing to the Washington
Delegation.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The Mime
sofa papers containing criticisms on the
appointment OF j. Adam Bede to be
United States marshal are beginning
to arrive. The comments of those of
the Republican persuasion are of such
character as to convince Democrats that
the choice of Mr. Bede was probably the
very best that could have been made.
Mr.. Hall protests that he does not con-
slider that he was turned down in the
appointment of Mr. Bede. While he.
would have preferred some othe man,
perhaps. he thinks the appointment an
exceptionally good one, and also con-
cedes that recognition of Mai. Bald
WINS services TO the party-given under
exceptional obstacles-was both Just
and righteous.
Mr.. Bede is better known to the old
newspaper men of Washington than he
is in Minnesota, as he was formerly
connected with the city press here in
modest way. Most of the old habitues
of the press galleries remember him
fayorably as an ambitious and active
reporter, and all join in giving him the
very best of records.
The surprise comes in among those
doubling Thomases of Democrats who
have all along been saying that Maj.
Baldwin would not be able to develop
any influence with. the administration.

WORLDS FAIR BLAZE.
The Art Gallery Is Scorched
Slightly.

Slightly.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Another worlds
fair fire broke out this afternoon in the
east wing of the Illinois state building.
1t was undoubtedly of incendiary origin,
but prompt responses ON the part of the
fire department prevented damage to
any great extent. The. cnief danger
from the fire was the probability that it
might extend to the art galley, which
is now used as the storehouse for the
Columbian museum. Fears for the
safety of the art gallery were we'll
grounded, for early in the progress of
the fire flying brands alighted on it's
northwest dome, and in few moments
that portion of the building was blaze.
Around the base Of the small dome at
that corner of the art building there
was tarred roof and some canvas,
and upon this the flames made rapid
progress. Some guards, however,
climbed to the roof and, tearing away
the blazing canvas, threw it to the
ground. The fire on the roof was then
easily extinguished. Joseph HALIFAX, a
tireman.fell from the roof of the Illinois
building, but was not seriously hurt,
The Illinois building was sold recently
for S1.650, and as only the staff was
burned from about forty five feet on the
east wing the damage is inconsIderable.
