Furnished a Billy Goat.

M. l.. G. Rines, of the Elsmere
Hotel, is a marked man. He has had
the temerity to boldly address a COM
munication to the Commissioners. Mr.
Rines didn't mean to be sarcastic, but
the nature of his complaint made sar-
casm unavoidable. Here is a portion
oft:
Z" l understand that in your all-seeing
wisdom you have decided that il is in
furious to and against the benefits of
citizens to place tin cans on the dumps.
Now, in hotel refuse we have ashes,
tin cans, ETC., and it has been refused by
reason of tin cans. What are we to do
with the tin cansY Are you enforcing
law that you have made without pro-
viding a remedy? Please let me know
at once, as we have lot of tin cans to
dispose of. "
The awe-struck reporters for the daily
press in their reports of the meeting of
the Commissioners where this COM
munication was read begin their copy
with:
I" 1t is understood that the Commits
sioners,n - etc.
1t would be an objectionable breach
of etiquette and extremely distasteful
to the dignity of the Commissioners to
report that they absolutely took any
action on the matter. Nevertheless,
The Sunday Globe is in position to
state that they did. By unanimous
resolution of the three Commissioners
Mr.. Rines was voted one robust William
goat to eat the tin cans
The Sunday globe., 1901-05-12

cided to state that in one letter the ex-
preston is used, :" / don't like the 9th
street house," and in another "you
must be ready in minute" " and in still
another, "I do not want to meet you
SO close to the building, it would at
tract notice and people might catch
on"
Now, the DANES interested will know
by these quotations that The Globe has
read their letters appointing assigna-
tions and that they are completely at
its mercy. There is one condition, and
one only, we demand for our forbear-
ance in the future, and that is, a change
in the conduct and a more correct,
moral life by the women indicated
while they are in the employment of
their several Departments. The Globe
VII easily keep itself informed If the
condition is lived up to. It's violation
will assuredly result in full expose of
not only the women referred to in this
article, but many more of their sinful
sisters guilty of the same immoral con-
duct in the several Departments.

A Gentle Roast for the Editor.

The money loaners and sharks of
Washington didn't like last Sunday s
Globe and they are hardly to be blamed
as it was anything but complimentary to
their business. There are money loaners
in the Government departments, too, and
it is proposed to give them whirl when
things are ripe, The Sunday Globe is
pleased to learn that there is one justice
of the peace in Washington whom the 10
per centers despise as heartily as they do
The Globe. Juustice O'Neill, we are
informed, will not permit them to bring
a case in his court and threw out the
| ones that the sharks filed at one time
The District Commissioners could, ifthey
would, clip the wings of the sharks, but
they permit them to go on fleeing their
victims with impunity.
The following postal card growl was
received at this office yesterday;
SIR: If your raper is as far "off" on
all things as upon the statement you
make in your championship of the
three balls, the pawn broker, when you
say he is prohibited from charging over
ten per cent. per annum," God pity you;
for the pawn shop robber, who robs those
in desperate need, demands and receives
80 per cent. per annum, often more or
less compounded, and in thousands of
cases ''gobbles" up an article worth SI00
upon which he has loaned $40, "without
due process of law" as the Constitution
provides. You profess to champion the
poor. Now, here's your chance. The
poor have no more relentless enemy than
the pawn broker. He helps them little,
squeezes them much and robs them
more.
ELLERY HENDERSON.
Washington, May 10.
Mr.. Ellery Henderson is entitled to
his think, The Globe simply stated facts
as they appear on the surface. II the
pawn brokers exact thirty per cent. they
are collecting usurious interest. Our
experience and their printed receipts was
the knowledge that guided US in the
statement Of 10 per cent per annum.
That was all we were charged and
that was all the ticket called for Next!

Nil ford Center. O., May 6

MllIOru center, O.t May y,
Editor Sunday Globe:
l see by to-night's Columbus Citizen
that you are again in the editorial chair.
A conspiracy of the vilest and most con-
temptible wretches in Columbus made
sll the trouble that occurred. But truth,
like cork, will come to the surface, and
you will come out on the surface O. K.s
l am glad to see that you take up some
subjects. You have and | have long had
similar ideas. Send me a copy or two of
The Globe, and l will contribute, if it
pleases you, along my former lines of
thought, as published in the Sunday
Capital when you were its editor.
l have completed an invention for the
automatic steering of torpedo or other
boat in any straight line as far as power

fected model ady.
Your paper is spoken of highly by the

know it will succeed with you at the
helm. Ever yours,

Mr.. Gabriel, the writer OF the fore
going, was a valued contributor to the
Columbus Sunday Capital. He is a
writer of great force and brlliancy, but
confines his ability to scientific subjects
and NEUROLOGICAL researches, which his
tacile pen transforms into matters of
general interest. The Sunday Globe will
be pleased to "space" him.-Ed. Globe. !

the Supreme Court. The commission
defended the award through special
counsel and through the Attorney
General. Dave was knocked out and
the award confirmed, but he had more
revenge than he ever dreamed of, for
the fee we paid the attorneys is still due
us by the great State of Ohio. Mr.
Ballentine is in the Internal Revenue
Department-that is, when he isn't on
the avenue making mental notes of the
changes in style Of the ladies apparel.
He had about as much influence in
Ohio as our old friend Judge Riley has
in Zanzibar, but Dave is a man of un.
limited nerve, which he has spent the
greater part Of his life assiduously cul-
tivating, hence the perfection of the
article on tap. How he fell from grace
and joined William LIS cohorts is of
no importance, as Dave is willing to
take any kind of money and knows just
as much about Republican doctrine as
he did of Democracy when "heeling"
for the old party in Springfield and
whooping her up with his "pard "
Constantine.

RUNNING IN PAIRS.

The one complaint of visitors to Wash.
ington who put up at the leading hotels
is the disposition of the police force. In
and around the Arlington, through the
Dupont Circle, walk or stalk the colored
policeman in all the georgeousness OF
brass buttons and cork helmet. In Hell's
Bottom, Bloodfeld, the Camp, Foggy
Bottom, Boston" Willow Tree Alley,
and other classic precincts of the city,
where a colored officers efficiency and
knowledge of the leading characteristics
OF the colored portion of the residents
could be utilized to advantage, he is
rarely or ever seen. Why the chief Of
Police insist on assigning colored officers
to what may be termed a most fashion
able portion OF the city, and in and
around the leading hotels is a mystery
that no feller can find out. Time and
again the writer has been asked by hotel
guests, from northern cities especially,
why colored officers are detailed where
their presence is so undesirable by visit.
ors from abroad, who are dot accustomed
in their own cities to the colored police
man Besides the bad taste of conspic-
uously assigning the colored officers
where strangers are continuously coming
and going, there is the necessity which
exists for his assignment to localities of
which he is the product, and thoroughly
familiar with Its ways and its people.
There is another subject in connection
with this injudicious assignment of the
negro officer, and that is the constant cry
coming from the head of the department
for more officers or an increase in the
force, The necessity for an increase in
the force may or may not exist, but GER
tain it is that the doubling up of officers
disproves the claim. Why the officers
should be doubled up when there is an
alleged shortage ia the force is another
conundrum the average citizen is unable
to solve. In New York city for instance,
officers meeting at the eXtremites of their
beats are prohibited from conversing
more than a few minutes on business
strictly confined to their duties. In
Washington one may see in broad day
light brace of officers sauntering along,
chum like and sociable. Presently they
halt and the two on the opposite side of
the street cross over and Join them. Then
maybe patrolman joins the crowd, and
general and friendly conversation is
held, greatly to the edification of the
party, while miles of territory are per-
haps uncovered and some negro bicycist
is running over and killing a frightened
woman.
This criticism is made without temper
and by a writer who is second to none in
his admiration of the force, and the atten-
ton of Major Sylvester is good naturedly
called to the growl that perhaps some
improvement may suggest itself to his
mind in the assignment and regulation of
the men.

| Having been permitted to see pri-
vate letter from the aims house to a
friend in this city, the following ex,
tract is called to the attention of Com
missioner Mcfarland and his colleagues
of. the board;
"There is and has been for the past
two years young, strong, and healthy
able bodied man Of thirty-five years
an inmate of this institution named
Charles Brod. Recently the in
tendent appointed HIM to Donovan's
place assistant TendalD. Brod is a
foreigner and is put over his fellow
paupers Of American birth and gets 80
per month besides. He eats now in the
officers dining room. The arrogance
and impudence of Brod are something
awful. Its the old story
"Put a begger a horseback
And he'll ride to the devil.n
"Well, what do you think of man
agement which takes in this young
healthy man as a pauper and gives
him place over citizens born in the
DlstrictYn
Charitable institutions are established
for the benefit alone of the infirm. the
unfortunate and suffering humanity,
and the institution out on the Branch
should be model of its kind ,inasmuch
as ii is at the nations capital. But is
it? A comparison with similar one in
Cincinnati is thus made by an ex.in-
mate of that institution now located in
Washington:
"The unfortunate i'm Cincinnati are
properly cared for and are not under
nor allied with work house. There
are 900 inmates, who are comfortably
housed in nice, clean rooms, having all
modern sanitary Improvements. They
get three meals each day of wholesome,
nutricious food, with such delicacies as
their age and condition calls for. They
may receive outside visitors every day
and go wherever they please. There is
no profanity, drunkenness, nor fighting
at the institution, as no such conduct
would be tolerated, nor are those old
people, unified any longer for business,
insulted by toughs and work house
birds They are treated as human be-
ings, in a tender, sympathetic manner,
and thus their last days pass away in
peace"
Intendent Stoutenberg, it is to be
hoped, as well as the District Commits
sioners, should read this account, if
they cannot visit the Cincinnati insti-
tuition. The Board of Charities and
Corrections might pay very profitable
visit to the institutions out on the
Branch and offer such suggestions as
the experience of Its members might
suggest. Washington cannot afford to
maintain such reproach as the pres
ent aims house and its management.

A GOOD MOVE.
In an Effort to Secure the Rights of
Self Government.
THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Engaged In Inc Good Work Along the Lines Of
Agitation and Observation-Disclosures
from It's Secretary
Mr.. We.
Remedy.

The following letter from the Secre-
tary of the Central Labor Union, rs
will be understood on its perusal, was
not intended for publication, but mas
much as 1t outlines plan and systema-
tic effort to secure local self govern
ment we produce it with tbs hope that
it may lead to more universal move
ment of all classes in the object aimed
at.
1t has been objected to any proposed
movement for municipal government
in Washington, that the negro being
numerically strong would monopolize
the municipal offices and the Capital
City of the nation would be practically
under negro rule. Besides the fact that
the Caucasian is in the majority there
will be less negro ownership Of Wash
ington under local self-government
than there is at present. The negro in
Washington today is Extensively in
possession of the streets, parks, electric
cars, places of recreation, amusement,
etc. He is the one conspicuous feature
of Washington life noticed by the visi-
tor and stranger within our gates. Not
even in Hayti or San Domingo itself, Is
his arrogance and presumption as pro-
nounced and apparent. He will run
his bicycle-if he is mounted on one
over man or woman who fails to give
clear road. Only the past week an aged
and respectable lady, waiting for an f
street car was run over by a negro bici
list and killed. What greater owner
ship could the negro secure even were
he the mayor, the common council and
the District legislature?
On the the other hand, under local
self-g0vernment means would be found
to regulate him to an equality with his
white brother instead of being, as now
the whole thing Manufactures
would be encouraged and skilled and
brawny-armed mechanics would flock
in and instead of muscleless and efiem-
mate clerks the negro would find him
self, as in other cities, confronted by
the types of men who would soon
take all pretensions of superiority out of
him and the municipal courts of law
would administer exact justice instead
of nursing him as a pet and an exhibit
to be protected at the expense of white
men. The educational test would re-
duce his voting capacity and he would
soon learn civilization enough to give
a white lady seat i'm an electric car.
No-the bugaboo of negro political
supremancy has no foundation in fact,
it Is put forW ard as blind by the inter-
ested element which have the teat of
the District between its lips and is
sucking all the honey.
Mr.. Kennedy's letter will be read
with interest and The Globe hopes that
large numbers of signatures will result
from its publication.
This paper will further the interests
of the movement i'm every way within
the compass and scope Of public jour
nal.
Here is the letter:

We are not clear whether the secretary
to the Adjutant General of the Army was
ever a democrat, but we remember him
as boy in Columbus, when he sold the
Sunday Capital, and hustled like the
good boy he was. Jim Allensworth's
uncles, the Heinmillers, of Columbus,
and all his connections are sound demo.
Gratis. He first came to this city as pri-
vate secretary TO Congressman Outh-
waite, who was repeatedly re elected on
the democratic ticket in the Columbus
district. After Outhwaites retirement
and his reward for deserting the party
which honored him more than he de-
served by an appointment on the ordin-
ance survey or inspection board at an
annual salary of 50, 900 per annum, Mr..
Allensworth drifted in clerical capacities
until he reached meritoriously his present
position. Mr. Allensworth is an exceed
ingly courteous and capable gentleman,
and General Corbin made no mistake
when he made him his private secretary.
Of course Mr.. Alensworth is now
loyal subject of William !, and last fall
he went to Columbus and worked hard
against the reelection Of ex Congress-
man Lentz, succeeding probably, in
polling the very votes which defeated
that magnificent fighter and democrat.
For this mean trick we have it in for
Allensworth, and hence this write up

Col c. 0. G. Cooper, private secretary
to Attorney. General Knox, is an Ironton
(Ohio) product, but he has lived so long
in and about Columbus and his geniality
is such that everybody there as well as
here imagine they know him all his life,
was never a Democrat so far as our re.
searches extend, but because he ought to
have been one he is put in this column.
We know the colonel, and stand ready
to certify him up higher than he is at
present. He served William in that I'm
perial Magnate's first campaign as conf.
dental secretary, and what he doesn't
know of the ins and outs at Canton and
in the White House, of the late Joe Smith
Jimmy Boyle, Captain Heistand, ct al,
and all the other members of the home
cabinet which worked so loyalty and were
rewarded with royal prodigality, isn't
worth printing. But what he does know
would fill revolving bookcase with
choice literature. 1t is possible chapter
or two Of absorbing interest will be given
in these columns later on by the writer
as we have an invisible way of inserting
the gimlet in people we know to be loaded
with news. Colonel Cooper is Justly
popular and an ideal private secretary,
having served in the Foraker and McKin-
ley administrations, and also the ex.
Attorney General, as well as the Great
William himself in the White House and
at Canton.
