O'ini:i:i: more expeditions are to leave Newfoundland this year in search of the north pole. It they find it, they should bring it nearer to the haunts of civilization, where there will be no dan ger ol it again becoming lost. A Chicago woman laughed herself to death the other day. She had just been reading the concluding chapters of Editor Stead's book, in which he pre dicted that Chicago would yet awake to a sense of her wickedness and reform. St. Louis Knights of Labor have de clared a boycott against tbe Droduct of twenty breweries in that city. If they could extend the boycott to the product of all breweries, and enforce it, the working classes would be greatly bene fited. The shortage in the accounts of Mc- Kane, the (Jravesend boss now serving a term iv the penitentiary for election frauds, amounts to about £700,000. It is no wonder that with sucii a fund at his command he was able to cut so wide a sw.\th. It has been discovered that young people engaged in the manufact ure ot cigaie-Uiii-- are afiiicted with nicotine poisoning, but their affliction Is not half as bad as that of the young people who are engaged in smoking the cigarettes. A xi:\v political coalition las been formed in Ohio, the Populists and Pro hibitionists having combined against the two other parties. As these two parties cast but 4.80 percent of the total vote ot the state at the last presidential election, their prospect of success at the present time is not roseate. It i- definitely announced that the president will veto the seigniorage bill, if this proves true it will put a quietus upon all silver legislation during this congress, for the views of the executive will be known, and it wiil be tutiie to at tempt to obtain a two-thirds vote in either house io override his vetoes. Secisetaby Cabcisle suggests the creation ot n retired list in the revenue marine service. Such a list would doubtless increase the efficiency of the service, for it would remove the induce ment—the necessity, oftentimes— ot of ficeis remaining in the service after the days of their usefulness are over. Tin: iipproDiiations made by tl>e lowa legislature for charitable institutions this year toot up to $705,878. This is a larce sum, but many of the beneficiary institutions are educational as well as charitable, and the money is not ill spent. At least, there will not be any general complaint among the taxpayers. Thebe are preparations on foot for a general strike among the coal miners of the country. This may be a good thing lor the miners, but it will be a great hardship to the consumers of coal, i.o matter what class they may belong to. It is a knife that cuts more ways than one. California is uecomins a fashion able place for Chicago people to die In. At least a score of prominent citizens of the Windy City have left this mundane sphere by way of the I'aciiic coast state. It is a wise precaution, for old St. Peter lias good reason to question the eligi bility of souls hailing from Chicago to admission to paradise. Tin: rival auostles of tariff reform though on different lines— Wilson and McKmley— are both recovering from their recent dangerous illness, and will be in the arena once more in the course of a few weeks. Their indisposition has not, however, interfered with the prog ress of the merry war between the two systems. Bon Ikoehsoll has made a change of base. Instead of attributing ail the ills to which flesh is heir to the churches, he now places the responsi bility upon the shoulders ot the Democ racy. Christians and Democrats are truly in a sorry plight, and can sympa thize with each other— or with them selves : for a good Democrat must of necessity be a good Christian. lX tiik days when men claimed the. right to compel other men to give them ell their labor without recompense, and when there was a growing party in this country whose nucleus was a denial of that right. Abraham Lincoln said that "the nation cannot continue to exist half slavs and half free." Today, when men are claiming the right to compel men by legal enactment to give them tudi part of their labor without recoiu pense as a willing government may de cree, and when Democrats., .ire to be found asserting this right, it is time to say, paraphrasing the wise judgment of Lincoln, that the Democratic party can not continue to exist half protectionist and half free trade. '•POINTS WITH PKIDK." The GLOBE '.'points with pride" to its Baster Sunday issue.' • > i; -.• - 1 ' : With becoming modesty it allows the public to inspect and compate witii coiiipetltors and do the rest. 1 -e»- • BASTEK. •-■'■■■- ,"• ; As long as the Christian faith shall enaure. and man's hope for immortality shall survive, E.tster will be the most sacred ot seasons. It commemorates the final triumph of the greatest of all men— the Godlike if not the God-man — over death, and His resurrection from the grave. . , ;. ,-, ■'.• The story of the redemption has been oft-times told, but it never ceases to be the one story of all the rest that has a : permanent place in the literature of the heart. If illusion it . is, there . is-. great beauty and fascination in the illusion, and it teaches a lesson tnoie important than the web of any romance or the stirring scsnes of reality. In adopting the human form, enduring all the ills to which humanity is subject, passing through temptations, poverty ar.d per secution. lie became a man. By over coming all, and dying as a ransom for His fellow men. He became divine. And this day commemorates His final tri umph over death, sin and the grave— a triumph iv which all mankind has a part, a glory in which all human beings share. ~ ";.;». V' Alter the season of fasting which closes with the advent of today, Chris tians should be prepared f'»r a new sea son of activity in religious effort. They have mortified the flesh for forty days, and have learned lessons of self-control and self-denial that, if rightly minded, have been of great value. They have often thought of the trials through which their divine Master passed, and pondered the amazing love lie thus dis played for the race— a love beyond coin- Dare, tint mystifies and dazzles the in telligence and confounds human teason. It cannot be reconciled with philosophy; it was simply a wide departure from all usage, and a startling innovation upon the wildest tradition or flight or the imagination. When the feast of Easter was estab lished by the fathers of the church they had a wise purpose in view. It was made a day of rejoicing and of consecra tion, for which the preceding fast had a tendency to prepare the devout mind. The physical powers had been renewed by abstinence from excesses that had a tendency to enervate and debilitate, and the mental faculties had received an access of energy, fitting them for persistent and effective effort. There was nothing more natural than to ex pect most potent results from such con ditions. And results have proved the wisdom of the conclusion. For the posl- LenU-n season has long been memorable in the annals of the church as a time of unusual spiritual awakening, whose re sults have been most beneficent. The renewal of worldly gayeties that succeed this day will be a source of pleasure to the devotees of pleasure. The fast of Lent may not have proved of benefit to them, except as to their physical condition. BtU in that, at least, it has proved useful. In every walk ot life we ought to experience re vivifying results. Business will be the lirst department of life to feel the bene fits. The somber garb that has pre vailed during the dreary winter season will give place to more gorgeous rain nient iv keening wiih the reawakened joy in nature and in spiritual life. For a few weeks, at least, society will revel in complete abandonment, and prepa rations lor the summers outing will go on apace. There will be balls and re ceptions, weddings and journeys, house warmings and pleasure excursions without number, and money will tiow freely throughout all the channels of naile. Each individual in the com ina nity will feel the stimulus. Aiany will be glad to throw off the restrictions imposed by the Leuteu sea son. They are irksome, useless and meaningless to thousands, but to those who rightly look upon them their pur pose will be manifestly beneficial. It is uot a religious use alone that is served by these observances. The abstinence enioiued during the season conserves the physical powers and renews the mental activity of mankind. And al though all will rejoice that the days of penitential observance are past, thou sands will have occasion to thank them for benefits conferred, physical, mental and moral. "The Lord is risen !" With the ob servance of that event we can also cele brate tiie rising of a new and reinvig orated manhood, which is destined to have its impress for good udou human destiny and history. GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. Secretary Carlisle is not wise iv de nouncing iho attempt of tiie American Association of Architects to have all government work open to general com petition. He charges tiie association with a desire to control the government action, overlooking the fact that the government in this matter is already in the power of a riug. ana a very un scrupulous ring of incompetent men at that. The office of supervising architect of the treasury is what is sometimes called by tha Blanev -a soft snap." The de signs of all government buildings are prepared there, and all contracts re construction are awarded by the head or that bureau, subject, of course, to the approval of the secretary of the treasury. The secretary, however, knows nothing of the manner in which the awards are made, and, as lie knows practically nothing about architecture, he acoepts unquestioned the plans and contracts approved by the supervising architect. The result is notorious. The government buildings throughout thu country are, as a rule, architectural monstrosities— hideous to an artistic eye. Their cost is far beyond the necessities of the labor market, and their construc tion is faulty. Take, for instance ,the Cmeago building. It was nearly three years in process of construction, and cost nearly $3,000,000. It is located on one of the best blocks of ground in the business center. There is nothing artis tic in its appearance, there have never been any conveniences for the transac '.ion of public business; its apartments are dark, dank and unwholesome. Four or five years ago it commenced crum bling to pieces. Great fissures appeared in the walls; the floors began to sink, the ceilings to fall. Several times the business of the courts was interrupted by the falling of a large section of plaster from the ceilings, and finally, some six months ago, the judges re fused any longer to hold court within its walls, and removed temporarily to Mil waukee. Other officials, fearing for their lives, are trying to leave the struc ture, and it is only a question of two or three years when it will become a shapeless ruin. In other cities the same ground of complaint exists. There is THE SAINT PAUI, DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MOUNTING, MARCH 85. 1834. —TWENTY-FOUR PAC4ES not a federal building in the country that is eqjial to like structures con structed by private enterprise; tnere is not one that lias not cost from 50 to 75 per cent more than its real value. The present supervising architect of the treasury is more competent than some of his predecessors, but is not a man of high standing in his profession. lie certainly lacks taste and business MiSfteity. His predecessor— Mullett by name and nature— was notoriously in competent, and w.»s frequently charged with sharinz in the profits of govern ment contracts. He was responsible for many of the structures that disfigure our large cities. They will preserve his memory in an odor far removed from sanctity. The suggestions of the Association of Architects are worthy of consideration, if not of adoption, and Secretary Car lisle has made a crave mistake in treat ing them as he has done. If the busi ness of the government iv the construc tion of public buildings were open to competition we would have far more sightly structures, substantially built at a less cost than those that now deface the country. It is to be hoped that the secretary will reconsider his decision, und give the matter the attention which its importance demands. I lliU.i; >, fIKACY. It is with superlative annoyance, not to say profound grief, that the Gi.okk discovers our superb commonwealth is being surpassed in a line of intellectual development wherein it has heretofore stood without a peer. There are many things iv which Min nesota takes rank in the first class; two or three in which she is unapproach able: one— only one — where she stands nonpareil among her sister states. To enumerate and gloat over son:e of her superior advantages: Where can be found a climate more replete with the ozone of health. Are the skies of sunny Italy more blue? And are not our pel lucid iakes tit mirrors for this ceru lean dome. Other states and na tions have beautiful women, but none can surpass the Medicean forms the splendid complexions, or the brightness of tiie enslaving eyes of our Minnesota sisters, sweethearts and wives. Their magnetic orbs Have stolen the seductive blue from the liquid depths of our most beautiful lakes; their laughter has plundered our fairy waterfalls uf their rippling melody; their arms and throats have niched whiteness and purity from the piled snow drifts heaped into ivory mountains before the sturdy breath of the bliz zard ! But this subject must not be lingered over, because it is pregnant with too great possibilities for poetry and elo quence. Let us drop the ideal for the actual. We are nearly lirst amonsr the wheat-growing states of the Union, and if we did not invent No. 1 hard, we did construct the mills that gave value to it. We have recently discovered the most valuable iron ore on the continent, ami are now sending it forth to fatten and enrich the hard and hungry ores of PiUsburgand Birmingham. Our maple syrup, garnered from the sap by Chip pewa >quaw power, now enters into the markets of the country in full competi tion with the perfumed sweets of old VeriLont, and adds marketable flavor to the rugged and acrid juices of Hie sorghum of Kansas and Nebraska. We are improving all the breeds of all the domestic animals— including man— and showing in a thousand ways the su preme rulership that mind exercises over matter. In all intellectual pursuits— save one — Minnesota stands, the equal of any in the sisterhood. As yet we have produced no home poet worthy to sing the surpassing loveliness of L'Etoile dv Nord In lieu of that, however, we have originated an unexampled lnuseannihilator in the mental building of Mr. Dojnielly. Cer tainly others before our great citizen had ventured out on the vast ocean of speculation— some of them leaving out of sight the guiding Pillars of Hercules, even, in searching for some intellectual continent great enough and sublima enough to bear the strain of supporting those marvelous works which the mere vulgar are woat to attribute to a fourth rate actor and Bohemian named Will iam Shakespeare. But, thank Provi dence, no one before him had conceived the theoiy of the cipher. To this great mind was first whispered the darling proDhecy of an interlinked story hidden away in the plays and poems of the Master. More than that: Mr. Donnelly But « wrote a book to prove the existence of the cryptogram. To be more technically exact, it would be belter to assert, possibly, that lie wrote a large volume to say that he had found the secret of the cipher, and proposed some time in the indefinite future to sell that secret to the world in another volume. But, anyhow, Mr. Donnelly was the discoverer of the subtle strand of moon shine which runs, or might, would, could or should run, irregularly through the works of tha great poet, lie is en titled by the unquestioned right of dis covery to this equivocally woven cob web; and, if flini-tiatn were patentable, would be entitled io retain and possess forever all the honors and emoluments attaching thereto. But no great dis coverer was ever permitted to reap the full harvest of his labors and sacrifices. Kings and priests were unjust toward Columbus. Why should our great citi zen hope to escape the common fate of genius? A man named Owen— Orville W. Owen— who lives in ttie more common place commonwealth of Michigan— has j started out to reap the crop of laurel sown by Mr. Donnelly. The Globe can do nothing more than enter its sol emn protest. This man Owen, taking the hint from our own great discoverer, proceeds to proclaim an entirely new and different cipher— a perfectly orig inal strand of moonshine— decorating and adorning the works of Shakespeare. His cryptogram is even more startling than that of Mr. Donnelly. It is also based upon a foundation entirely for eign to that so firmly laid and so compactly cemented by our cele brated compatriot. Owen's cipher has for its basis only four pregnant words, viz: Fortune, Honor, Nature and Reputation. Three of these words, probably, Mr. Owen is seeking by mak ing public announcement of his find. Just why lie injected Nature into the quartette of symbolical words is not clear. But this cipher goes on to relate the marvelous story that Lord Bacon (no cipherist seems to be %ble to un hitch his clutch from this queer old law yer) was the son of Queen Elizabeth and the Earl of Leicester by a secret marriage.and that Bacon was therefore, by divine right, the king of England! The whole story is too long to be re lated here. Owen will tell it on the lecture platform, and Drob.ibly in (a book. It is sufficient for the Globe to enter its protest here against a mere Michigan man stealing and profiting by a discovery which occupied so many years of the time of our distinguished fellow citizen to invent. Mr. Owen should have been more original iv his tilchinir. Like Falstaff's charge against Bardoloh, "he keeps not time" in his plundering. With as much justice, ne might steal Mr. Donnelly's purse, or nis farm, or his library, or anything that is his. Lord Bacon may be common plunder far all tiie. critics and cum meiuators w!io havj liveJ and fattene I upon the intellectual storehouse of the Master. But th: cipher— the cryp.t> graiu—that belongs, by every rule of law and equity, to the ma:i w!u had the genius to oustruct it. It is no answer to this indictment to say that the cipher of Owen is an entirely different ndille, and not connecte.l with that sawed ouj; by our fellow citizen. Every cipher belongs to Mr. Donnelly, lie owns tiie cipher right through discovery. Why could not Michigan be content with her Sweet Singer, and leave to Minnesota and her Donnelly their on c ewe lamb ot distinction— the authorship of the one and only cryptogram? Tub amended anti-option bill is said to be received with favor in congres sional circles. It is not in favor with business men, however, and never will be, nor will any measure of the char acter which takes from men the right to transact their own business in their own way be iv favor. MAYOR WKIGrHT'S SL\TR. 111 Mayor Wright's effort to secure the Republican noruiuatiou for mayor he has made up a slate and parceled out all of the orhces to his supposed friends. Wolterstorff is to secure him the dele gates from the First ward and be re warded with the city treasurership. (iebhard Willrich is relied on to de liver the Second ward and receive a municipal judgeship. Grier M. Orr and Private Secretary Handy at« counted upon to bring in Wright delegates from the Eighth ward, Orr to be rewarded with the other mu nicipal juAgeship,and Handy to be clerk ot the municipal court. George K. Warren, the recently ap pointed member of the board of public works, is to hand over the Fifth ward delegation to Wright. A very nice programme, if it works. Can either or any of the parties there to deliver the goods? And if so, what good when the people elect the full Democratic ticket? Tnese are solemn thoughts which are commended to the plotters for Easter Sunday's reflection. Sknatoi: Cillom has a strong com petitor for re-election in the persou of William E. Mason, of Chicago, an ex- congressman and an all-around good fellow. The fact that Chicago has been ignored in the choice of senators has long been a grievance in that city, and as both of the present senators are resi deutsof Springfield it gives the claimsof the metropolis an added weight in other parts of the state. Mr. Cullom will not find easy sailing in the legislature next winter. The Chicago Herald is printing a series of interesting biographical sketches of the aldermen of that city, showing how, on the salary of $3 a week allowed them, they manage to save money, sport diamonds, drive fast horses, support fast women and build costly residences and business blocks. Their thrift is certainly remarkable, but Chicago peopie are remarkable any way. A PBESBYTBBIAN minister in Roch ester, N. I., prayed fervently on Sun day for the advent of the day when there would be but one church in all Christendom. Of course, he had a men tal reservation when offering the peti tion, and wanted that one church to hold to the Presbyterian faith. At a recent dinner at London the Prince of Wales offered a toast to Amer icans, and they feel highly honored. " it ia singular witti what different feelings people regard a toast and a roast. The proposition to sell the Ferria wheel to Gov. Waite will meet no favor. The governor already has a wheel that throws the Ferris effort into the shade. THROUGH OTHER EYES.

The senate doesn't weigh things equitably. Favoring the seigniorage bill means short weight for dollars, and delaying tariff reform long wait for millions.— Philadelphia Times.

Should Mr. Cleveland approve the seigniorage mil it will be found that the patronage heelers were in favor of it from the first. Should he veto it, it will presently appear that they have opposed the measure from the jump.— Atlanta Constitution. The majorities in house and senate for the seigniorage bill were discred itably large, but they were not large enough to justify tiie fear that the bill can be passed over a veto, and a veto is what the country demands.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Repudiating the A. P. A, Waseca Radical. There is an attempt being made to saddle the much-talked-of A. I*. A. in Republican party. As a Republican we repudiate the charge. W r e ao not believe the Republican party has any connection in any manner with the A. P. A. That party has no affiliation with sacred religous political schemes—can not afford to have, and has no reason to have. In fact, there is no political or religous necessity for the A. P. A., the number of Catholics iv this country does not number to exceed ten or twelve mtllions. and as Donnelly said in rfrs recent speech at St. Paul, it is not prob able one-sixtrh of our people will at tempt to kill or even maim the otlter five-sixths, or even attempt to control, oppress or dictate to them.

Los A.vc;i:i.hs, Cai., March IS.— I took a trip lust week ; over the kite shaped track— a part of the Southern California railroad system- which is a circuit, of 100 milos from here/running ['through what is known as the ''orange *l>elt." The nalne is derived from its %upnosed feseiublaiice'tb a kite, but I /should say it resenibles/uore tliefigure. 5* placed horizontally, with the crossinirof tin* lint's a little east of the center.- At the point ot intersection is located .th*. handsome ■little city ot San Bernardino, and all, or nearly all, of the handsomest towns in Southern California are lo cated on Uiis line. . . .;;. -, r ..j. Our first stopping place was at River side, which is sixty miles east -of. Los Angeles. .The. name of .Riverside is suggestive of juicy golden oranirt's. but Uis equally the home of .every descrip-. tion of semi-tropical fruit. It is • em phatically a little city of homes, having one eily-like-street, comprising three or four squares of handsome and substan tial business blocks, in which are some line stores. It also has four banking houses, fifteen churches, a public school building costinsr $135,000, a Y. M. C. A. building which cost $25,000, a free pub lic library ol 10,000 volumes and a tine opera liouso which cost §120,000. But the pride of Riverside is its handsome avtnues, along which are many palutial homes, embuwereed in orange groves. .But of all these handsome avenues, the one par excellence, is Ihe far-tamed Magnolia, so named, a friend suggested, from the conspicuous abseuca of inaz nolia treos along its wayside. " ~ "Justimaeine, if you can, a boulevard 150 feet wid* and ten miles long, as level as a floor, with a roadbed almost as smooth and hard as if paved with asphalt, witli beautiful residences on either side set back 200 feet from the .street, iv the midst of orauze trees, all bending under the weight of their golden fruit; bordered by hedges of cypress trimmed to nerfeetion, " with arches over the gateways, and in many places trimmed in fantastic shapes; the outer edges of- the sidewalks bor dered with pines and eucalyptus trees alternated with palms ot immense siZ(-, and through the center of the street, as far as ihe eye cau reach, the beautiful pepper trees, covered with their red ber ries—and you can have some idea of the incomparable beauty of Magnoliaavenue Riverside. I do not believe another such a drive can be found anywhere iv the United States* or, perhaps, in the world. . ..- V~ - . ' We met here Capt. M. J.. Daniels, formerly state senator from Olmsted "county, who is president of the Orange Growers' bank, of Riverside; also Mr. aN. C... Youuirlove, another Rochester jgtMitleman. ,We;are.iudtjbted to the in j eforj a three-hours drive through their -beautiful streets and other courtesies. They both have lovely homes of ten acres each on Brockton avenue, planted to oranges and other citrous and de ciduous fruits. v -.* : ,; The pepple.,,here are justly proud of ■ their city, would have you .(relieve that somewhere near this spot was lo cated the garden of 'Eden; and some of the more enthusiastic Riversiders will point out the identical spot on which grew the famous apple tree from which our grandiuotl.er Eve plucked the fatal fruit. But lam inclined to doubt this, however, as from the best information we have our first parents were not suffi ciently clad to endure the chilling frosts which even the good people of River side must acknowledge sometimes fall upon this otherwise highly favored spot. They had a frost here in January which was unusually heavy, and sev eral lighter ones since, which injured the oranges to soch an extent that the crop this year will scarcely be half what it would have-been. The ground under the trees everywhere in that re gion was literally covered with oranges which had dropped otE on account of the frost. They looked in every way as good as 'those still remaining on the trees, but were said to be worthless. It seemed like a shame to see such de struction. Some unscrupulous growers will box this frozen fruit and put it on the market, but most of them, who are anxious to maintain the good name which Riverside oranges have attained in the Eastern markets, will plow them under, preferring to stand the loss rather than injure the reputation of their fruit. Riverside presents the most striking instance in Southern California of the marvelous ' transformation effected by scientific irrigation. The irrigation of land, which to a majority of the Ameri can people seems like a new idea, and one that is only adopted as a last resort, is in reality as old as history itself. It has been practical in Egypt, in Syria and other arid sections of the old world from time immemorial, but never has been brought to such scientific r.erfee tion as herb in Southern California. Twenty years ago the country around Riverside was a barren and desolate plain without house or tree, ana was considered almost as worthless as the desert of Arizona. It \>as assessed at 75 cents an acre, and the owner actually appeared before the county board of equalization and : protested, . claiming that the assessed valuation was mote ( than the actual cash value of the land. But by the ingenuity of man the waters of the Santa Anna river have been 'turned upon this arid plain, and the desert has been made to bloom and blossom hs tae rose. Vacant land that was considered dear at 75 cents .would 'now be called cheap at §500 an acre. .

I am ot the opinion that ii is all a nnth— so far as California is concerned. 1 doif think there is any section here that is entirely free from occasional frosts; Of course the mesas or higher lands are less subject to either fogs or frosts than the lower valleys. This is why the Redlandefs cliuckle ii««.''r tlie discomfiture, of their., less tor luuuie neighbors at Riverside. .

Now it is oneof the loveliest parks that 1 have! ever seen, where every kind or semi- ! tropical flowir ana shrub is growing I in luxuriant profusion. And such a] growth! 1 could not have believed it'! possible in so brief a time had 1 not I seen it with my own eyes. Everything i has been grown' trom the seed, and the whole park, with its miles of winding; roadways, is guttered and curbed with i Bianite. has hundreds of- nooks where | unique rustic bridges span little chasms, i and where rustic seats, roofed with ! palm leaves, invite th« weary sight- \ seer to spots where tiie best views can ' be obtained. Here these brothers have '-: each built, on heights commanding the •• best views of the valleys below, beauti- ' ful houses, which they use as their win- : ter homes.
