The Globe desires the services of a cor respondent-—lady or gentleman— in every town in Minnesota, Eastern Dakota, North ern lowa and Western Wisconsin. Satis factory compensation to proper parties. Applications must be sent in at once. BEATS THE RECORD. The Globe can point with pardonable pride to ; ts advertising columns this morn tag, as evidence that the business men of the Twin Cities appreciate the value of the Globe as an advertising medium. One hun dred and twenty-two columns of advertising matter in one issue eclipse the record of newspaper advertising in Western journal ism, and surpass anything ever known in the history of metropolitan journalism in the East, with the possible exception of a few instances in New York. The Globe gives grateful recognition of its apprecia tion by the enterprising people of the North west, and renews the assurances heretofore made that the Globe's progress shall ever continue to be upward and onward. ■ MORRISON'S DEFEAT. Mr. Morrison has suffered another de feat. The failure to get his tariff bill into the committee of the whole yesterday was more of a personal repulse to Mr. Morrison than it was a defeat of tariff reform. The crudeness of his bill laid it open to serious objection, and some of the members can probably explain their votes against it when they could not have done so if they had voted against a more carefully prepared measure, lt was not . expected that any sort of a tariff reduction bill could pass this congress, so that there will be no disap pointment to the public in the result of yesterday's vote. It will be different, how ever, with the uext congress. That body will be expected to pass a fair and reasonable tariff reduction bill, or, in default of its doing so, the- people will take the tariff in hand with an earnestness that will leave no un certainty as to the tariff complexion of th c succeeding congress. CONGRESSIONAL FUNERALS. The bill introduced in congress by a Southern member looking to the abolish ment of the indecent extravagance aud ostentation which now attends funerals of congressmen v-is- timely. The abuse is one ■which has grown to such proportions that it is doubtful whether it can be cured in any •way short of the entire abolition of formal attendance on the part of a congressional committee at the funerals of colleagues. It is very lifting that a committee should show the respect due a deceased friend by ac companying the funeral cortege, but when an occasion which should at least call for the most decorous behavior is made the ex cuse for the wildest kind of hilarity, then the custom should be compelled to fall into disuse as speedily as possible. The entire country is scandalized upon the occasion of every congressional funeral. The indignant comments of the press seem to have availed nothing incheckiug the abuse. The junketing trios are just as easterly entered upon as ever. Then there remains but one way of removing all cause for scandal. The bill should bi passed which does away with such trips at public expense, and future committees should be purely honorary, or. at most, be allowed simply the usual mileage granted a con gressman in traveling to and from the capital. WHY SHOULDN'T SHE DANCE? A good deal of discussion is going on just now regarding the rumored intention of the president's wife to have dancing parties in the White House during the present winter, and, curiously enough, she has in some quarters been severely criticised for her alleged intention. It is difficult to see upon what grounds the sharp- tongued critics base their disapproval. Certainly the president's official residence would lose nothing by the presence within it at stated intervals of the flower of the country's youth and beauty, engaging in the stately minuet or even in tho more vigorous movement of the rythmic waltz. Certainly there would.be no loss of dignity In the president's countenancing such a proceeding, and he would uot have to loot long in the records of the earlier presidents to find a precedent for his action. Mrs. Cleveland. too, is young and supposedly possessed of the abundant spirits and the love ot gayety which rightfully and properly belong to one of her years. The etiquette of her posi tion forbids her acceptance of invitations to dancing parties, so why should she be ex cluded from the enjoyment of them in what is for the time being her own house. The country has taken a great fancy to the presi dent's youthful wife, who once claimed St. Paul as her residence, and if she basset her heart upon enlivening the tedious routine of official receptions with cozy little cotillions, it would have the president understand that the withholding of his permission is some thing of which it cannot approve. A WOM AN t '-"eXC HANG E. At this season, when the dainty articles of silk, satin or lace, the more useful, •if homelier, confections of wool and linen, the deftly painted works of art and the cun ningly wrought embroideries, all products of feminine skill, are especially in demand, it is to be regretted that St. Paul does not possess a woman's exchange where such articles mi.ght be procured with a certain knowledge of their genuineness and a consciousness that in their purchase some pen-on deserving aid is being assisted. There are many women, deft of hand, skilled with the brush or needle, who would be glad enough could they turn their talent to practical use aud in the sale of- the pro ducts of their skill eke out incomes pinch ingly small without any publicity. This is the worthy object which exchanges of this kind have accomplished in •■ther cities. The articles offered for sale are stmt to the exchange, a price put upon them, and then, after being sold just as are the goods dis played lv any other store, the proceeds are returned to the workers, less tho commis sion," which goes' towards the running expenses of the • exchange. No more effi cient and praiseworthy means of affording self-help to women has ever been devised, and i_ successful trial in other cities argues that it would be appreciated here in St. Paul. The good that might be done is , unquestioned. and the experiment would at | least do no harm. When another holiday j season comes around, with the usual J demand for such articles as the gentle sex , is skilled in fashioning, it should see a | Woman's Exchange in successful operation. j ■■i '— ■ . DR. McG LYNN'S CASE. Unusual public interest has been excited I in respect to the case of Rev. Dr. Mc- Gltnx, who has been summoned to Rome to " answer as to his part in the recent Henry George political movement The two features of the case which most excite public interest are the possibilities of hav ing an explicit and official declaration from the Koniau Catholic church as to how far a priest is privileged to take part in politics, and what is the diSDOsition of the head of the church toward the existing land and labor agitations. In a recent interview with the New York World's London corres- ! pondent Cardinal Manning is quoted as I saying that because Father aMcGi.VNN has been summoned to Rome the summons is j not to be interpreted as meaning a con- | demnation of his cause. He affirms that i the Catholic church, having always been the j faithful friend of the laboring people, can- ' not be opposed to the labor movement unless it falls into socialism. In his read ing of Mr. George's books he has found nothing unsound or deserving censure. According to his construction of Mr. George's views the latter is in accord with the doctrine taught by the Catholic church, which recognizes the principle that property is founded on the law of Nature and that it is sanctioned, by revelation; but as the cardinal under stands it, Mr. George's contention is mainly, if not wholly, on the intolerable evils resulting from an exaggeration of the law of property. Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, declined to say anything respect ing Mr. George or his principles, but de nies most emphatically that the prosecution of Dr. McGlyxn is owing to influence brought to bear by wealthy men of New York who desire to crush the labor party. Father Phelan, of St Louis, the editor of the Western Watchman, the leading Catholic organ of the West, says that the call of Dr. McGlynn to Rome does not mean his suspension, or that he has been, or is to be, censured. He says that the pope only wants to know all about the new agrarian school and sends for Father Mc- Glynn as a man who thoroughly under stands the subject He says the pope is preparing an euclical letter on socialism, and naturally wishes to obtain all the light ob tainable on the land feature of the question, and thinks that Dr. McGlynn will return without a word having been said against him at Rome. Bishop Ryan, of the West ern New York diocese, who is a personal friend of Dr. McGlynn, expresses the opinion that the doctor is to be <%ciplined, for he says that, while priests are allowed to have their own political ideas, just like other people, it is not allowed a priest to endeavor to influence his people on other than questions affecting their spiritual welfare, and that "Archbishop Corrigan' 9 letter was written undoubtedly because of what he regarded as unpiiestly conduct on the part of the doctor." A gentleman who is on intimate terms of friendship with Cardinal Simeoni. the prefect of the Propaganda Fidei. and who has excellent opportunities for mastering tbe somewhat intricate nature of the re lations existing between the Catholic clergy in the United States and the ecclesiastical authorities at the Vatican, informs the World, and which does not appear to be generally known, that the United States are still regarded by the Vatican as a mis sionary country— in fact as partibus infidel ium. The Catholic clergy in this country are styled in all official documents misSWff-"' ary rectores, and the affairs of the church here are conducted at Rome through the college of cardinals, who constitute the Propaganda Fidel. The venerable Cardinal Simeoni is president of this college, and it is through this congregation of car dinals all matters concerning the church in the United States are presented to the pope. Yale's most famous foot ball player has died from the effects of catching cold while playing in the rain last Thanksgiving. T»e usual amount of cheap wit will now be directed against "the fatality of foot ball," when. a 9 a matter of fact, the young man's death was due not so much to exposure dur ing the game as to imprudence after It. The fact that Alice Oates is dying in poverty in an Eastern city Illustrates the vicissitudes of the theatrical profession. No woman had a better opportunity to win for herself a lasting and reputable place on the lyric stage and no woman was ever more heedless ofher opportunities. And still Governor-Elect MeG ill displays an unfeeling heedlessness of the various patriots wbo are ready "to do the state some service" for a comfortable salary. But per haps he Intends to surprise them on Christ mas eve. There appears to be no reason why Gen. Mark Flower should yet g vo up hope. The managing editor of the New York World has goue to Europe for a little rest, but will probably utilize his vacation by in terview ing Queen Vie as to what she thinks of Batte.vbkro'B baby, or the czar regarding bis views about a high protective tariff on dynamite. '.-. ': ..: Parson Downs, of Boston, has challenged an editor of tbat city to personal combat. Now, if the editor will only send around bis fighting representative with a club warranted to permanently disable, he will earn the lasting gratitude of the entire country. PEiuiArs. in view of what the coming week will bring forth iv the way of Christmas bills, it would be just as well tor tho head of the family to repair this morning to his favo"ito church and spend a brief season clothing his mind in Christian resignation. It will be a sorrowful household in which Santa Clacs does not make a visit next Sat urday. Tbe little ones all expect him. SCO that they are not disappointed, however hum ble the remembrance may be that he ieaves behind him. The Courier-Journal flies Into a rage over the discussion by the cabinet ladies of the proper maucer of going in to dinner. It is to be inferred that the great exponent of tariff reform would not have them dine at all. Phil Armour is in Washington hob-nob bing with the congressmen, and Bismarck's representative has cabled his cbiet in great alarm to prepare for another onslaught on the part of the American hog. While making your Christmas prepara tions, don't forget that there are numerous homes less fortuuate than yours, in some of which you can bring something of the joy and sympathy of the festal day. Since tbe East has adopted tobogganing with such heartiness, it should send as many delegates as possible to the ico carnival* to learn something about other delights of winter life. The young woman who has thriftily saved her last . ear's Christmas cards finds It a much easier matter to remember ali her "gcnlmn friends" than does her less provident sisters. If too haven't bought your Christmas presents yet a glance to-day at the Globe's interesting advertising columns will assist you. ■ • i It seems Path is not singing to crowded houses iv Chicago.

Price wanted some action taken at once, the people of North Minneapolis were get ting tired of tho railroad tracks, as they hurt the values of property aud en dangered the lives of the people. "We must," said he, "do something to cripple the railway companies and show them that we mean business." A. Dale made similar remarks and said that if the city had a case against the railroads it should be pushed, as the companies might as well be brought to time now as any time. "If we, as citizens, can do nothing." said he, '"let us go to our aldermen and the city attorney and make them do it," "The only way to get the railroads to bridge the crossings is through the courts," replied Mr. Lathrop. The general sentiment of the meeting seemed to be that too much time had already been lost, and the way to induce the railway companies to do anything was to hold big indignation meetings and show that the people of North Minneapolis were in earnest. Aid. Mills , said tnat the whole trouble lay in the fact that when the rail roads came the people were so anxious to get them that an almost exclusive franchise was granted. On motion it was decided at the next meeting . to appoint an advisory committee of seven. C. F. Baxter, E. S. Gaylord and G. W. Morton were then ap pointed a committee to draw up resolutions and present them at the next meeting, to be held one week from last night at the same place. •" - ',*r: POSTAL, * I FAIRS.
