DANDELION GHOSTS.
ny ELIZABETH AKERs ALLEN.


The common flower that children love
All other common flowers above,
The dandehon bloom, alas,
No longer stars the roadside grass,
But folds away its yellow robes;
And now a myriad ganzy globes,
Gray gossamer ghosts, noat everywhere,
Like bubbles blown along the air.
Dear homelike flower, which cheers Away
The dusty path of every day,
Even death is kind TO thee and brings
Twin-eifts Of liberty and wings;
Oh peer of butterflies and bees,
Fair playmate OF the wandering breeze
Methinks would rejoice to be
A free and fetterless ghost Ike thee'
No CHASTITY phantom. pale and stark,
Stalking, reproachful, through the DARK,
TO fright the souls which held me dear,
And mourned my loss with tear on tear
And yet, at last-so hard TO bear
Are loneliness and duh despair
Their pain OF sore bereavement healed
With love more warm than ghosts can yield
No specter, bringing woe and dread,
TO bianch from timid lips the red,
But such gentle ghost as might
Unchallenged come in fair daylight,
Unsoiled by dust, unwet by dew,
In fearless freedom strange and new,
To sail serenely through the air
Uncaught, unhindered, everywhere.
No fate were happier than to be
An evanescent ghost like thee,
mild returner from the dead,
Which few would note and none would dread !;
To visit, not in grief or gloom,
The scenes which saw my early bloom,
And mark how perfect and how fair
The world could be-and 1 not there
All, happy flower, that smiiest through
Thy three bright days of sun and dew,
And then, when time DEGREES thy doom,
Risest anew in rarer bloom,
perfect sphere of daintiest white,
AS soft as air, as still as light,
Leaving these earthly damps OF ours
To seek, perhaps. the heaven Of flowers

THE Syndicate of Lyons merchants es-

that it takes twelve pounds of the yellow

crop is but slightly larger than that of

Ramsey county with a majority of from
5000 to $500. He will do SO if every one
OF the opponents of Washburn turns out q
week from to-day and casts ballot for Mr..
Donnelly. If st. Paul and Ramsey
county come up to expectations,
and do their full duty, Mr..
Donnelly will be elected to represent this dis
trlct in the next Congress. It behooves the
Democrats of this city to make an especial
effort to get out the full vote. Not single
man should be permitted to stay away from
the polls, but all should be brought out to
give their verdict on the question of who
shall represent us in Congress for the next
two years. The election law pa ssed by the
last legislature provides that all persons who
vote shall be registered previous to the cleo
ton, and fixes oday as the last opportunity
which the voters will have to register their
names. Every Democrat, therefore, should
see to it that his name is properly enrolled
upon the registry list of the precinct in
which he casts his vote. the judges and
clerks of election will be on duty to-day
from A. M to P. NJ, and are required to
register all who apply in person, offering
proofs that they are qualified voters in the
district No person should neglect this
duty. Before any other business of the day
is undertaken, every voter in the city should
visit the polls and have his name recorded
No citizen should be d1sfranchised by neg
lect of this obvious duty. Turn out one

WINDOW ON THE R0srnuu

Senator Window delivered disma
speech to dismal audience in the city last
night. 1t was in marked contrast to the
rousing enthusiasm which greeted Mr.. Don
nelly last week.
1t is appropriate that Window should be
on the stump for Washburn, the ring candi.
date for Congress. They have worked in
rings together, and both were participants
in the ring which robbed the
Northern Pacific into bankruptcy. Window
used his position, as member of Congress
to foist him 'elf upon the Northern Pacific
company as director, and then united in
making that infamous contract with the
construction company, whereby the road was
robbed, and twelve men made one hundred
thousand dollars each on small contract.
Washburn was one of the twelve. Bill
klng was another, and when it came to q
settlement King claimed two shares in the
profits. Some of the gang demurred to this,
and he explained that he was entitled
to two parts in the steal because
he had to di0ide aOitA Wsndom.
Window supports his fellow ring robber,
Washburn, as matter of course. But for this
gang of plunderers that road would have
been running to Montana to-day, and per-
haps would have been fully completed. Win
dom is now in the Senate. Do the people on
the line of the Northern Pacific wish to elect
another one of their plunderers to the other
branch of Congress?

take it for granted that the voters of the Fifth
ward are just as strongly DESTROYS of beinp
honestly and faithfully represented in the
legislature by a true and loyal citizen, one who
will feel in duty bound to protect and advance
their social, commercial and material welfare
as any OF the other wards or districts of this
city, or county, or State can be, and if such is
the case we predict that the aforesaid r. Bar.
den (brrss kettle wheat buyer and stock-breed.
ing partner of Bill King) will be elected bv q
large and very significant majority to stdu a,

While you have heretofore paid attention to
the very strange conduct of MIR. Barden, we
may here bring forward some of his maneuvers
In the first place he Joined with Bill King as a
Breeders association" in undertaking to
swallow up the State Agricultural society in
favor of an exclusive show at Minneapolis. and
when the breeders colt race was proposed, and
he Went back on it as he did, we next find him
with all his fancy stock at the Minneapolis
fair, with his animals especially decorated with
flags, and marching the same at the head of the
procession through Minneapolis and
and over the fair grounds, thus
giving aid and comfort to Minneapolis
and the Bill King show, as against his own CITY.
and the interests of his own people.
We all know how he crawfshed out of the
colt race. (after a majority vote had decided
upon the St. Paul track and State fair week as
the place and time for said event to come off, )
claiming that his own colt was overgrown, and
not I, Mt to run and afterwards taking his colt
to the Minneapolis fair, where he entered and
run him, as in other matters for the benefit Of
that institution, as against the interests Of his
own town and people. FIFTH WARD VorER.

NOT A CAMPAIGN MOVEMENT.

IL
1t is frequently declared by the supporters
of Mr.. Washburn that the talk about the
wheat swlndle is campaign affair, and that
as soon as the election is over there will be
nothing more heard of the swindling brass
kettle, etc. This is one Of the usual false
hoods of the Washburn campaign. The
robbery of the farmers, which Mr..
Washburn and his associates are
perpetrating, is matter entirely in
dependent of the campaign. The GLOBE
has simply pointed out that as one means of
relief Washburn should be repudiated at the
ballot-box. He is one of the ringleaders in
the robbery being perpetrated, and his cleo
ton would be equivalent to the announce
ment that the farmers enjoyed being robbed
and would kiss the hand that smites them.
We wish to say to the farmers of Mime
sofa that the GLOBE is enlisted for the war,
and that we regard this campaign as merely
preliminary skirmish. It is necessary that
legislation should be had to prevent the rob
bers of the Washburn stripe from
stealing the substance of the people.
We should consider the election of
Washbnrn as equivalent to declaration
by the people that they did not care to OBJ
tain relief, and under such circumstances
should relax our efforts It is for the people
to say whether they will have relief or not.
The defeat of Washburn will be the death
blow of the ring. 1t would be formal an
nouncement that political death awaited any
man OF set of men who were engaged in this
gigantic swindle, His election would rivat

THE INCONVENIENCE OF RECORD.
The Republicans of this Congressional dis
trlct are now sorry that they nominated a
man with q record. Records are unhandy
things to have about in political campaign.
They are apt to be scrutinized too closely,
and faults that would otherwise pass unno-
ticed receive an unpleasant airing during a
political campaign, and unless mans repu-
tation is above reproach he is very apt to
wish, long before the canvass is closed, that
he never had political aspirations. Bill
Washburn is in that fix Just now. He
probably never realized before the truth of
that passage of scripture which speaks of
sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind.
He has been engaged all his life in sowing
mere zephyr, there breeze and elsewhere
something of gale. His harvest time has
come, and he is beginning to realize on his
investments. When he gobbled up all of
the best pine lands in the State by pervert-
ing his'office of surveyor general he thought
he was doing good thing. When he swim
died his creditors out of forty to sixty cents
glee, for he thought that was good invest
ment. When he employed the swindlng
brass kettle to defraud the farmers out of a
grade of wheat he laughed all over, for he
had no realization of the breeze he would
raise when his deception was found out.
When he bought the nomination for Con
gress with the money he had stolen in his
other operations he felt perfectly content.
and looked for political honor and prefer
ment But the whirlwind, that had been
long delayed, soon made its presence
known and felt. His record was searched
and these little and big steals were unearthed
one by one. He tried to conceal them, but
there were prying eyes that refused to be
deceived. He tried to purchase silence and
votes, but he found that all men are not
purchasable. He tried to deny the commits.
sion OF the crimes with which he is charged,
but with every denial dozen accusers
arose to prove him liar. His record was
bad. 1t had foul odor about it, and caused
every decent man to shrink away.
Proved to be man devoid of political
principle or business integrity, Washburn
has adopted the only means of success left
to him. Abandoning the stump where he
had made an evan, scent appearance, he has
been journeying up and down the district
with his money bags in his hands buying
votes He has left a contingent fund in the
hands of some man in every community
with which to purchase votes. Especially in
Scandinavian, French and German com
munities has he done this He regards ou1
foreign fellow citizens merely as voting cat
tie, to be bought up by money. This is not
f1attering compliment, certainly, but it is
the best compliment that can be afforded b,
Washburn. Money is his god. He has
sold his soul for it, and cannot understand
how anybody else can resist the temptation
to sell his political convictions for dol]a,
or two. He has started on money cam
paign, but even his lavish disbursements will
not save his bacon. His record stands in the
way.

Ihe other buck witnessed the deed and then

man at liberty, as he was not afraid of him.

and now that he has a retreat he does not

QUEER DISTRIBUTION OF POLICE
on the other side of the line, and one which
may one day call for investigation should a
massacre occur, as is not all unlikely. At
Fort Walsh, where the Indians are all friend
~, there are about one hundred and forty
men and four cannon; while at Wood noun
tam, where there are over one thousand
lodges of Indians, more than half of which
are hostile, there are only about twenty men.
At the latter point there is liable to be an
uprising at any time; in fact, there is no tell
ing what moment there may be division in
the camp, and all the soldiers killed While
Capt. Allen would not commit himself on the
point, there can be no doubt that this very
unjust apportionment is the result of per-
sonai feeling of Col. McCloud. the com.
handing officer, against Maj. Walsh, who by
his bravery and military ability made a
record far superior to that Of his command
er. Thi fact is we'll known among military
men, and should not escape the attention OF
the Canadian government, which cannot af.
ford to permit personal feelings to stand If

Capt. Allen will leave for Montreal to- day
where he will spend some time, and return
