Thkkf. is an opportunity for the rain machine man to make his fortune. Italy and the most of Southern Europe have had no rain for two months. The pope has ordered all Catholics in Italy to pray for rain. The New York Times has at last jumped oft the fence, lighting on the Democratic side. Republicans have grown so scarce down there that it wasn't worth while to cater longer for their patronage. Some of the office-seekers have waited for the plums to fall in their laps until they have grown so sad that they are appealing to the president in poetry. Most of them can write as good verse as a spring poet. "We siiai.i, cling to the old, large, uatuial diamonds for the present."— Minneapolis .Journal. Yes, you can put them in soak sometimes when you are playing in hard luck. But, by the way, which way do you go horu« nights? The Dispatch, which should know, says that 'the bolons fold their tents like the Arabs and stea 1 away." That is not news. Most of them have been stealing away all winter. That they stjie the tents, too, is news, however. The outlay for the Columbian exposi tion is, up to date, 116.708,826. and it will require nearly £4,000,000 more to complete the work. The greatest world's exposition ever held cost but little over half that amount. W-2 shall have a show greater than any other nation has ever attempted. A> the Grx>BE predicted early in the session, when the Republicans were making a cheap parade of their economy in legislative expenses, the house fol lowed a disreputable precedent, and pail the doorkeepers and gallerykeep ers and all the rest of the hangers-on §5 a day from the beginning of the ses sion. The Globb very much doubts whether, as stated, the attorney general had given an opinion that they ware en titled to 15 a day under the law. If he did, the Globe is curious to see the law. And now these high-priced gentry, whose services to the state were worth ?5 a day, will co back to an eager hunt [or jobs at a dollar and a half a day and board themselves, and be mighty thank ful to get that. Was it an impulse of sympathy that led Cotton to move to dispense with the reading of Wacek's report in the Makkham boodle investigation. There was great anxiety to suppiess it and strong pressuie brought on Mr. Wackk to withhold the report; in fact,one report was borrowed from him and made way with by a Democratic member, but a copy had been made. The report found the charge sustained that Makkbaji had demanded money for four members of his committee, of whom he admitted bimself to be one, for a favorable repoit Bil the Wvmax bill. The house might smother Mr. W.UKK.but it can't smoth er the Qlobb. One of the witnesses stated that Makkuam expected to be the congressional candidate iv the Sixth district next year. The (u.oisk appre hends that his ambition in that direc tion is effectively smothered. A HAIM'V HIDOANGF* The twenty-eighth session of the leg islature is eiuled at last, the heavens be praised. It has achieved only the mer ited distinction of having had in Its membership the largest proportion of wolves hungry for blood, of boodlers ravenous for "stuff,'.' ot any similar body i hat ever convened in tho state. Its predecessor had a number of corrupt men in i;, but it was a Quaker commu nity as compared with mis one. This is a grave statement to make. What proof of it have we? Plenty, and the best. The open, brutally frank talk of the members themselves. If one-half of whit they say of each other is but half trae, the statement is warranted. The; make ao secret of it. They talk it on the streets, in tho hotel lobbies, on the rtoor of the li >uses. It began with die senatorial election. Votes were bought; some were deliv ered, others wore not. but the money was kept. It attached itself to every measure in which the public were inter ested on the oue side and private Inter ests oa the other. One senator publicly aired his grievance that the interested railroads (rave the money to be used to defeat toe taxation of their land grants to two other senators and left him out. One member offered another §30 not to speak against the life liability limit l>i)l, tod another member assured * fel low member that he could have a hun dred dollars for voting against the Wymax bill, he having "charge of the matter." Another member showed a ro.l of bills to several persons. Baying that be had to buy a lot of fellows 0:1 another measure. These, with the Makkham ease, are but isolated In stance*, samples of many. The Globe admits with shame that among this flock of rapacious wolves there were some who think they are Democrats; were elected as such, and doubtless trafficked their votes as such. They are not Democrats. They are partisans for revenue oily. Against their disgrace stands out with Juster trained by the contrast the Democrats whose integrity was unassailable; against which the wave of corruption beat in vain. All honor to them. The Globe withholds for the present the mention of names. The white wash of Mabkham shows the futility o&in vestigations. A community ot inter ests defeats any search for truth. But, speaking for the Democratic party of the state, the Globe promises these Democratic purveyors and recipients of boodle that, should they a^aiu attempt to sit in either house or ask recognitions and honors of the party, the records they made for themselves this winter will not be kept between covers. The Globe will be glad to assist in their merited and permanent retirement. JUDGED BY THE FUUIT. "By their fruits shall ye know them." The legislature yf the state has been in session for ninety legislative days and drawn pay for one hundred and eight days. Jt has been producing fruit, and we have the best of authority for say ing that it must be judged by what it has brought forth. Some minor measures of public inter est merely have been adopted. They passed the ordeals simply because they got in early and were pushed ahead by the momentum of the msasures behind them having private interests as their motive power. Of this class is the free text book law, which got so crippled, though, on its journey as to be ot" do greater value than an opening wedge of a movement which will fully succeed at au eariy day. The election law also passed robbed of its best features, but still something of au improvement of the present law. The failure to provide for the use of voting machines was due largely to the fact that there "was uoth lnsr in it," save the public convenience. No observer, however careless, but saw that, from the opening to the clos ing, the floors of the senate and house were principally the arenas on which great private interests contended against those of the people. And, reviewing the work done, it is plain that, in the main, the private interests triumphed. Their greater victories offset their in consequential defeats. Perhaps as suc cinct a way as any to describe the fruits of the session is to group the measures coining under this head, according to the interests involved. Railroad Triumphs— The defeat of the life liability limit bill, which sought to give to those dependent ou the victims of railway carelessness compensation for the loss not exceeding $12,500. This was accomplished by the free and gen erous use of boodle. The passage of the anti-scalper Dill, by which the travel ing public is deprived of the right to sell the portion of the rides bought of the railroad and paid for. and which for any cause are not used. It thus obliges those who would have used the unearned portion of the ticket, thereby saving something, to pay full fare. This also was aided in its passage by the use of boodle. The defeat of the bill to tax their lands granted to them by the state. This was accomplished in part by the use of money and aided by the votes of some sincere but mistaken men, whose veneration for the absurd gross earnings tax caused them to vote against this measure of justice. Railroad Defeats— The interested com panies were as much surprised as was any one at the passage of the bill obliging thorn to select their land Krauts within two years. One of their lobbyists said when it passed the senate that "we will co into the house and buy enough votes to defeat it;" but it had acquired too much momentum for even that potent argument to overcome. The fence law, which proposed to release the compa nies from the liabilities of ttie present law, was duly lubricated, and the lob bying for it in the house on Monday night was open and shameful. Eievator Combine Victories — Ever since 1533 the combine has been trying to tie up the country elevators not in the combine. They have now suc ceeded. The governor's bill is a net which will catch all the little fish and let the larger ones escape. The opposi tion of the farmer members was un availing. The political farmers over powered them. The farmers thought that what was sauce for the goose was also sauce lor the ganders, and de manded the application of the principle of the governor's bill to the terminal elevators. They passed the house bili, but it was smothered in the senate. The elevator combine is ahead. But that was what they put their money into the campaign of '92 for. They ought to do with their own as they would. Fanners' Triumphs— They have re ceived the gracious permission of the state to build an elevator at Dulutii, provided they will pay for it. Poor devils; they ought to thank their mas ters that they were accorded even this much. The Oi.ohe wonders how they like the redemption of the promises made them last fall on the stump, and if they will be such mullets as to be caught again by the same bait. THE FAINT PAUL DAILY" GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL ,19, '893. CENTEXAUIANS. Mikkki. DAVTOBOK lias died in the (Joodhue county almsliouse at tho ro niarkublc in of 100 years. A lew months ago a man died in another state at the act' ot 1)5 years. About every State has a lew who are living beyond tin? century mark. Uut all these people are poor, many of them beinc paapert. It is doubtful if daring the., past fifty years any one of means and education has lived a hundred years. There seems to be no reason lor the ditlerence In longevity between the poor and the rich, except it be in the matter of diet and outdoor exercise. Investigation Shows that these people who live to be so very o!il have always been temperate, fared upon thy plainest diet and fol lowed out-door pursuits. Jn most cases t is found that their aneestois, as far back as can be traced, have lived in the same way. It is a demonstration of what human life can be under the proper conditions. Parents who live upon food which is beneficial and not destructive to the stomach, follow open air pursuits mid indulge in no excesses, produce healthy children. The children follow in the footsteps of their parents. And thus a lonsr-lived race is built up. There is little question but that the average of iife antedating tho Christian era was more than twice that of the present. The average was not materi ally reduced until several hundred years after Christ. At length there came a time when the kincs, princes and noble men of Europe fell into dissipation and all sorts of excesses. These did not generally live to be very old. We have no record of the ajres of the common people; but as they were without the means to indulge themselves, it i 3 pre sumed that their average of life was quite as long as that of their generations a thousand or more years back. A hundred years ago the average of life in this country was much longer than now. Soon after that it began to decline, and reached the lowest point about twenty-five years ago. Then it began to increase, ami has gradually gone up ever since. Eminent physi cians ascribe the growth in the average to the awakening in the matter of physical culture which began about tiiat time. It used to be considered disgraceful for women to be s«;en walking upon the streets very much, and respectable women seldom went out, except to rid* 1 . Women then were little more than house toys or kitchen slaves. They did nothing for physical development and were generally weakly. The physical development of men depended solely on their work. They looked upon the swinging of Indian clubs, dumb-bell exercises, etc., as mere boys' play and beneath their dignity. All this is changed, and physical cult ure is rapidly growing to be universal. Hie potency of the bath and such physical exercises as call into play every muscle in the body is known to most people. The victory is nearly won in this direction, but this is not the whole victory. The next reformation must be in the matter of food and habits. Suitable food and temperance in all things are quite as important as the matter of ex ercise. High authorities state that men are growing much more temperate in the use of liquor than in the past; but the liquor question is not the only one which must be looked after. Intemperate use of tobacco, late hours and want of sufficient rest and sleep, gluttony, and eating rich food, are all evils which must be corrected. Mr. Gladstones habits of life should be studied and emulated by everybody. He has alsvays lived upon the plainest food, bathed daily, and kept up a systematic physical training. Many people are so scrupulously neat that they abhor a speck of mud upon their hands; yet earth applied to the skin is most healthful. The ancient Romans bathed in mud for health, and, of course, bathed afterward in clean water. They were a most cleanly peo pie, and very long-lived. AN KXPLi A NATION. Building Inspector Moiiris, in a com munication to the Globe, which, at his request, is not printed, explains the delay in the matter of placing lire es capes on buildings which are greatly in need of them. The majority of these buildings were erected before he became inspector. He says he has for some time been engaged in a vigorous effort to hasten the putting up of escapes. The most of the owners of these structures have contracted for satisfactory escapes, and will have them up before long. lie has required that outside iron stair ways shall be placed on all tall build ings, and encouraged the proprietors to let the work to home manufacturers. So many ot them have been ordered of the St. Taul manufacturers at once that the factories are overcrowded with work, and putting up the escapes is delayed considerably. Mr. Hobbis says he has thirty -two orders tor escapes on his books at the present time, and that it will be quite a while before all of them can be built. He condemns in the strongest terms the straight ladder es capes which are now on many of the tall buildings. He will emleuvor to have every large building in the city suitably equipped. _ ABOUT PEOPLE. Wesley Corns baa beeu elected mayor of lronton, 0., for the thirteenth con secutive term. Dr. Eugene L.

An old man, wearing a dilapidated coat and a hat of the vintage of several season slnce«,lookt?d in through the door, stroked his lomr srray beard in a medi tative way ami tneu addressed the salesman: "Sell them?" with a jerk of the head towards the piles of coats and trousers. '•Yes, sir; that is my business." "Business good?" "Very," replied the drummer, think ing ot prospective sales. "Th' old woman told me ter §it a new pair of pants," said the old man, "but I'm afraid of them men in th' stores. Th 1 '11 tell a feller he : s got th' right thinr. butyer can't deppnd on 'em at all. How much fur them'?" lie picked up a pair of jean trousers out of the cheaper grades and made a careful inspection of the goods. The drummer replied that they sold for §1.50 per pair. ••Pretty steep," said the oid man. laconically. "Mariar got me a pair In Minneapolis last spring fur a dollar. Th' wore putty good, too. Couldn't you make "em a dollar?"' The dru mmer was in a pretty good liumor.and be finally said that he would give the old man the pair for the amount mentioned. The prospective purchaser scratched his head for a mo ment and then said: '"I've got some buttons that I've worn on my -pants for th' p&st ten year. They're made of horn and they can't be beat. Now, ef you'll gimme a pair of them same kfnd for 75 cents, without tli' buttons, Hariar '11 sew 'em on for me." The salesman replied that he had no pair there at the time without buttons, but lie might get them from the factory. The old man thought a while, and then replied that he guessed be would wait a while and come in again. He said he wanted to look around some lirst. - "13ut ef I don't find anything cheaper I'll come back," he said. "I've got plenty of time, and I'll just look in at some of the other stores." "Are you a reporter?" asked Senator Donnelly of a Globe man at the Mer chants' yesterday. ''Well, I've got something which I suppose the (Jr.out: would like, and I'll tell you about it now so I won't be waked up in tlie mid dle ot the night to be interviewed about it. 1 was up all last night, and 1 want to get some sleep.

We are going to have a meet ing in May, and then decide how ' we will get the evidence. We j will investigate the matter during the next two years and be ready to report at the next meeting of the legislature. You know the charges, for stenographers in i the wheat investigation amounted 10 j §5,000. We will be. economical, and do j our own work without the assistance of hired stenographers. We will take the testimony now in as the basis of our in quiries and then advertise in the Globs and other papers which are wi lely read for persons who know something about the affair. We will probe ttiiugs to the bottom." "Did you hear about that wreck we had out* in Montana ." asked J. G. Duianey. of Hannibal, Mo., at the Mer chants' last evening. "We were out there on a trip to see some of the west ern pine, and narrowly escaped being Killed. We were in Montana, near Wolfe's Point, when the train we were on jumped the tracks, and our car was overturned in the river. None of us was killed, but we all got wet and lost our clothes. We started from St. Paul over the Northern Pacific, but when we got to Mandan the water had washed out the tracks, and we went back to Jamestown and up to the Great North ern line, taking this route to the West. "It was 2 o'clock Easter Sunday when the accident occurred. We were in bed, as ail good people should ba at that time, when tlie car turned over. Then the water commenced running in, and 1 climbed out through one of tlie win dows and helped some of the others out. i got a door and made a bridge so that they would not cut their feet on the glass. Mr. Petti bone is a very large man. and it looked comical to see him wrapped in one of the red blankets from the sleeper without anything else on. We called him 'Sitting Bull,' Mr. Davis waited in the car to dress, and he came out all dressed with a white tie, and his hat as shiny as though lie had just stepped from his dressing room. One of the members of the party, who is a strong prohibitionist, got into the other sleep er, and the first thing he asked was not about his money or his diamonds, bat he asked whether the whisky in tke car had been saved. We lost about $500 in currency and a number of drafts, but that was unavoidable. The Northern Pacific people and the Great Northern representatives did everything they could to make the trip as pleasant as possible, and tried to make us forget that we had had auy unpleasant ex periences."

The sale of seats for this engagement opens at the box otlice Thursday morning. "The Spider and Fly" will be seen for the last times at the Grand this afternoon and tonight. Although the present engagement of tbisDlfiy is the third within the year the attendance has beeu of such proportions as to prove that is an always welcome enter tainment, and that its marches, dances, music and varied character have made it a most popular favorite with amusement seekers. Among the many strong scenes in "The Strujgie of Life," which comes to the Graud next week. Is the one showing the escape ot the hero through one of the great metropoli tan Mirers. In addition to being exening. this scene is one of the most novel ever put on the stage. The scenes of this play are all in *N"ew Yor», aud one of them gives an ex cellent reproduction of the Battery, and shows the Statue of Liberty down the bay at night. The play does not, however, rely aolely on 1U scenic effects for success, as it is in the hands of a most capable company. "A Gilded Fool,'' as preseuted by Nat C. Goodwin and his capable compauy of play ers', is one of the most enjoyable perform ances that has been seen on the stage of the Meiiopolitau opera house this season. The house was pacKed ag:iin List night by a large and fashionable audience. Mr. Goodwin has had one continual round of large houses for every performance this season, and it is gratifying to see that St. Paul falls in line with ths balance. "A Gilded Fool" will be een afaln tonight, tomorrow night, and the hist time at thu matinee Saturday. Friday and Saturday evenings Mr. Goodwin will present his great farcical success of the past two seasons, "The Nominee."

The star which was on the patrolman's coat he unpinned and left Feeley to have his I imp out. An hour or so after Feeley was again visited, but, as had not yet awakened, he was not disturbed. The matter was reported to the chief, but as i Feeley was a new man. anil the pull his ! friends have is quite strong, nothing ! svas done with him. County Legislation.

The Charges Against Them Missing* From Depart ment Files. . Republican Postmasters Will Be Allowed to Serve Four Years. Special to the Globe. Washington, April 18.— Tug news o£ the Minnesota legislature investiga tion of the pine land robberies has reached the general land office in a semi-official form. lion. David M. Clough is the president of the Minne sota state senate, lieutenant governor of the state and a leading lumberman, but, in a communication of a few days ago to Judge Lamoreaux, commissioner of the general laud office, the wily David neglected seemingly to state in which capacity ho wrote; but the inter esting point of the whole matter is con tained in the fact that along with this letter to the commissioner came a copy of the Globe containing the report of the senatorial investigating committee. in which the doings of the pine land ring were completely exposed. What this letter contained is a mystery up to the present, as Judge Lamoreaux de clines to make it public. That it was not an indorsement of the report is certain, and that it will hove no effect in the way of staying the land of the government in the lied Lake matter is equally certain, for it is settled that all the appraisers now at work on the lied Lake reservation, with the excep tion of Otis Staples, of Stillwater, are to bo dismissed within a few days. The fact that Staples is a disbursing officer will delay his removal tor a short time, but not more than a few weeks. In this connection, a queer state of affairs is be ing uncovered in the general land office, which goes to show that Hon. Thomas Carter, of Montana, would have per formed a substantial service for his country had he resigned earlier. In a California case.much like the Red LaKe scandal, charges against the appraisers were filed a little over a year ago, but the most diiisrent search has failed to discover these papers, and there is now no doubt that they were destroyed. About the same time William Bull filed charges against Otis Staples and others in connection with the Keel Lake reser vation, but no amount of searching lias availed to find these papers. These two suspicious cases have served to empha size the charges made against the Red Lake appraisers, and they w.ll have to go. GOT AXOTHKR RULING. Mr. Springer Finds Out About Bissc-ii's Policy. Washington, April 18.—Congress man Springer, of Illinois, has ii well earned reputation for getting more posi tive rulings out of the executive and tut cabinet people than auv other man on earth. Sometimes— generally, in fact — these rulings are not suited to his taste, but they are always clear. The latest instance is famished by a meeting be tween Mr. Springer and Mr. Bissell. "i understand, Mr. Postmaster Gen eral," said Mr. Springer, '•that you have determined to retain Republican postmasters the full term of four years when nothing can be proved against their character or ability. But suppose that a postmasterappointed by Mr. Har rison served three yean and died, and a Republican successor were appointed. Will this man be allowed to serve four years dating from the issue of the orig inal commission, or will he be allowed to serve four years dating from the issue of his own commission?" "He will be allowed." said Mr. Bis sell, slowly and positively, "to serve out four years of his own." "Humph," said Mr. Springer. "Well, here is a case that 1 have in mind. Near the end of his presidency, Mr. Ar thur appointed a Kepublican postmas ter at Taylorville, 111. Mr. Cleveland allowed him to serve four years, which carried him nearly through the Demo cratic administration; then a Democrat was appointed. Mr. Harrison promptly removed this Democrat and named a Kepublican in his place. This Kepub lican served through more than three years of Mr. Harrison's administration, and then died. A Kepublican successor was appointed. Is be to be allowed to hold the office four years more." "lie is," said Mr. Bissell. "But," expostulated Mr. Springer, •'that will give us a Democratic incum bent for little more than one year of Mr. Cleveland's two terms." "It's the rule." said Mr. Bissell. "It's cheerful," said Mr. Springer. RECKIVKD INSTIIUCTIONS. John W. Rif!<l!e Will Proc^eii to His Post of Duty. Washington', April 18.— Jnhn W.

Emperor William's Squadron Joins the War Vessels Assem bled in Hampton Roads. PoSTBESfI BfoVBOK, Va., April 18.— A strange tiling happened today. Ad miral Gherardi vi.sited seventeen ships and not a gun was fired. Ordinarily such a round of' visits wouid have l>een the occasion for filling this beautiful atmosphere with sul phurous smoke, but when he left his own ships the admiral ordered that no salute be fired, and of the foreigners he made a request that the same noisy honor be omitted. This afternoon he went to pay the visit to the American ships, but he was carried around with a s'lenee that was more impressive than the salutes, because of its very novelty. This morning the admiral had allowed his private barge to be used by the crack crew of his vessel for a race with the crew of the Chicago, which the Clucagos won. With all ihe\isits that he had to pay, this was no time to waste in ceremony, and so he ordered out the steam launch and went scurrying across the water in double-quick time, with the sway dash ing all over his gold-embroidered rap. These official visits, by the way, have become so numerous that they tax to the utmost not only the already busy moments of Admiral Gherardi, but the hanily less leisure moments of the offi cers who are lower in rank. Even with eleven more men-of-war to arrive the naval rendezvous has already assumed proportions which entitle it 10 rank as oiie of the greatest aggre gations of floating batteries which the world has ever witnessed. Admiral Gherardi paused a moment as he stood upon the deck of the Philadelphia this afternoon when your correspondent asked him how many million dollars would be represented upon the water when all of the ships were assembled. "Ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five," said he, making a mental calculation, "yes, fully twenty-five million; and. do you know," lie added, "how many meu there will be on board the ships? No; well, there will be 9,000 men. There are 3,000 men upon my own ships." Then tiie admiral expressed his pleas ure at the interest displayed by the newspapers in the rendezvous, and re marked the number and peculiarity of the questions addressed to him by corre spondents. He said he supposed your correspondent would like to know how much money was wasted in firing sa lutes, and, receiving a reply in the affirmative, the admiral threw aside his dignity and actually chuckled. "Well," he said, "as a matter of fact, oil the powder we use has been con demned, and it is really no good for anything else." The crowd here continues to increase. It has long since filled up even build ing at Old Point, and now is spilling over into the boarding houses and country hotels of the vi cinity. Prices are hig!) in proportion. In a thousand and one ways the friend ship of the American and the English is shown since the arrival of the Blake and her sister ships. A notable in stance happened today on the flagship Philadelphia, i'our correspondent hap pened to mention to Admiral Gherardi the fact that Admiral Hopkins had ex pressed a desire to see the Texas and Use Raleigh, now building at the Nor folk navy yard. "Ah,*' said the admiral, "I am glad to hear it. Orderly/ he added, speaking to his messenger, "go at once to that flatr yonder, give Commander Porter my compliments and tell him that I would like to see him as soon as possible. The English admiral wants to see the yard, and 1 want to have every courtesy shown him for making the visit." The arrival of the German ships to night added to the constantly increas ing excitement. The biir Argentine cruiser left New York yesterday and was expected today, but is probably ly ing tonight outside tiie capes in com pany with the two Germn.n ships. The German squadron steamed into the harbor so iate in the afternoon that if the Kaiserin Augusta had not begun to boom her cannons some distance down the roads, she would have slipped into her anchor age officially unnoticed until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. She saluted iirst the United States flagship and the flags of the American and English ad mirals as she steamed slowly o a place near the Russians. Behind her came the Seeadler. a small gunboat oi 800 tons. The Kaiserin Augusta is the most modern war ship now in the fleet, and presents many points of in terest. Tonight the American officers are playing the part of hosts. Our senior rear admiral entertained the commanding officers, and the junior of ficers did the honors to the feilow offi cers on the visiting ships. Rumors of a Receivership. St. Lons. April IS.— The Chronicle this afternoon prints a sensational story t the effect that the Missouri Pacific railway is approaching a receivership or a complete reorganization, involving a scaling down of the interest debt, and that the company has over §7,000,000 of floating debt which is not shown in the company report and statement.
