EDITOR GLOBE:
Your paper is gaining wonderfully
not only IN the Government Depart
ments, but everywhere l hear people
talking Of The Globe. The humblest
! laborer feels The Globe to be his
friend, and feels he can come to it with
! his wrongs as well as the highest
while to those in authority who are
| tyrannical and overbearing, and the
rascals they are terror stricken and
tremble even at the name of The
! Globe. In my Division in -- Depart
ment an individual who Yanted to be
on the good side of the gentleman"
! The Globe has ripped up the back, "
said, while some one mentioned The
Globe, "Oh, do you read that dirty
sheet?' 81 read The Globe" was the
retort, ''and see nothing dirty in it,"
| Good heavens! you read that nasty
thing, and can say that" 81 read The
Globe, and read it with great interest; !;
and think it is on the right road, and
that it will do a lot of good" was the
brave reply while the boss pretended
not to hear what was being said.
well, when a nasty sheet like that
can find people to defend it, respecta.
bic papers had better close up" In
the meantime the voice Of the lady"
was elevated so that the gentleman" I"
boss, would be sure to hear it, but he
was busy, and pretended not to.
"Will you please tell me what you see
about The Globe that's nasty or dirty?
It's lies" We'll, admitting it lies,
does not every newspaper, and for that
matter, every body lie? Is not this a
common every moment, every hour
every day occurrenceY" mo, it is not
and everybody are not liars either"
snapped the lady" Then the gentle
man, boss, looked up, and smiled com
placently at the lady" "Well," per-
sisted The Globe admirer, what do
you see about The Globe that's dirty?"
It's attacks on everybody and every
thing" was the snappy reply. "Well
you must read The Globe or you would
not see those things in it," was the re-
tort. The lady of veracity, and
who detested nastiness and dirt was
cornered. Then the gentleman" boss
came to the rescue, and said, "Others
can speak to her about this dirty sheet
without her reading it," Well it's evil
dent somebody reads The Globe" was
the parting shot,
We heard of another Division where
the boss had suffered at the hands
of The Globe, A little poodle in the
Division whom the boss Deutschland
whom he had injured, thinking to
squirm and wriggle into his good
graces, wanted to get up a petition"
to the papers, saying it was all lies
He knew well enough too, nothing had
been told but the truth. This ardent
little poodle would have annihilated
The Globe, and everybody connected
with it, in his excess Of zeal for the
boss, or he made it appear he would
he it said to the credit of the boss, >"
he rejected the cringing and fawning
of the poodle
A certain Dean, passing one day
through the streets of Oxford met sew
eral undergraduates who passed him
without removing their hats. The
Dean called one of them and asked
him, "Do you know me?" mo"
How long have you been at College"
Eight days" "Oh, very WE'LL" said
the Dean, continuing his walk, pup
pies, | remember, don't open their
eyes till the nintn day"
Some Department puppies never
open their eyes. Indeed, it is such an
important thing to be on the good side
of these little tyTants one must have
no eyes but to see virtues that do not
exist; and even the battle The Globe
is fighting for the poor employee is
made an uphill business by the cring-
ing, groveling pusiLlanimity of the
employees themselves.
A story is told of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne when he was an employee of
one Of the Departments. One of the
employees died in great poverty-not
even possessing enough to bury him
with. A subscription was gotten up
which no one was to exceed one dollar
in their contributions to, to help bury
the man. The subscription was pre-
sented to Hawthorne, who said,"I have
not got a dollar about me, but here is
twenty dollars; bury nineteen more
just like him while you are about it,"

groyeling persons would almost deci-
mate the Departments.
By the way, Globe, your last Sun
days issue seemed tame in compari-
son with former ones, Are you easing
up on Geddes, Casue, Lyman, Old
baugh and Company? 1t is surely not
because there are not still many
things you might say about these wor-
thies. | thought you had tapped an
ineXhaustible source. Don't get faint
hearted. The public like you for your
outspoken, mastery way of handling
the rascals, Don't be daunted. Ham
mer them. Why don't you dive fur
ther into nepotism? Show up what
the little poodle, the pet cat, hog, the
rubberagainst has been doing. Look
into Chief Clerk Swaizee, Geddes, Jack
son, and a whole host OF others are
doing, and show Congressman, Sena-
tors, and those little fellows Of that
class, where they stand. Let them
know what an Insignificant figure they
cut in the equation of politics, and
where real power lies,
Lay on, Globe.
