OC. feIer, were tried Tor the murder CT ME.
Clarke, the husband of one and the employer
of the other of the prisoners. A Chicago
jury acquitted them both. The evidence was
nearly similar in both cases except that IN
the GAINESVILLE trial the man turned States
evidence against his partner in crime. But
leaving his evidence out of the question
there was no material difference in the testi-
mony in the two cases, and no doubt of the
guilt of the parties. All of which shows
that there be juries and there be juries.
PROGRAMME FOR THE NEW YE1E.
The GLOBE again desires to call the attention
of the public to its line of policy. That line
was clearly enunciated few Sundays since,
and that our readers may have their mem
cries refreshed we republish the platform
then laid down, which was as follows:
The SUNDAY GLOBE, speaking for the
GLOBE every day in the year, desires to
say word to the business men and citizens
of st. Paul generally. The GLOBE desires
to be known and recognized as st. Paul
paper, with no divided aims or affections.
While it is in favor of the develop
ment of all the State, in every
possible manner, it is in favor es-
pecially of the development of st. Paul, and
whenever questions arise between this city
and other localities, the GLOBE will be found
battling with all the vigor it possesses in be-
half of the city it represents. The GLOBE
does not emulate the boast of contemporary,
J that it is published as much in the interest of
another city as of st. Paul. On the contrary,
the GLOBE, though paper for the entire
State, stands as the especial representative Of
but one city, and that city is ST. Paul. ST.
Paul occupies position of pre- eminence
in the new Northwest. Her business men
are able and energetic, and if they have
erred it has been in the breadth of view
which lead them to develop too large an area
of country, to the corresponding neglect of
their own especial bailiwick. St. Paul never
has, like some other localities, pursued a
narrow policy, and while her citizens are to
be commended for their breadth. the time
has arrived for them to remember that
charity begins at home. Without detracting
from others, st. Paul must devote her CAPT
tai to developing St. Paul. She has stretched
forth her iron arms until she embraces a
territory within radius of five hundred
miles. When the territory which st. Paul
already spans is fully developed, who can
even imagine the commerce which will be
poured into the lap of this city? It will re-
quire the strides of giant to keep pace
with the demands of the country already
tributary to this city, and when the Northern
Pacific adds the trade Of Montana and Idaho,
as it very soon will, st. Paul will stand in
territorial position equal to Chicago and St.
Louis, and far in advance of Cincinnati and
O.
st. Paul & Pacific road, with it's extensions
the present year, places an empire at our
feet-pours not only the trade of our own
country, but that of the British possessions
into our lap.
The GLOBE asks no prouder position than
to labor earnestly and with singleness of
purpose to aid IN making city commensu-
rate with the position occupied by St. Paul.
The newspapers of a city are the index by
which it is known. They are the unceasing.
constant advertisement of the locality they
represent. The people of St. Paul have but
one morning newspaper representing this
city. The GLOBE goes forth as st. Paul
institution. 1t appeals to the people of St.
Paul, irrespective of politics, religion, race,
color, or 'sprevious condition of servitude,''
toad in building their city by supporting the
GLOBE in manner which will enable US to
keep this paper ahead of all other develop
ment, no matter how great that progress
may be. The newspaper should be the ad-
vance sentinel and not the laggard. The
GLOBE will always be in the advance, but to
what extent rests with the business men of
st. Paul to say.
And now the SUNDAY GLOBE, speaking
far more for the interests of this CITY than
for itself, asks the people of st. Paul to con-
slider whether they should longer cherish a
newspaper viper, which having been warmed
into life by their munifcence, openly boasts
that it is published as much in the interest
of another city as that of St. Paul. And
not only makes this boast, but gives it prac-
tical effect by allowing that other city to
abuse, villify and misrepresent St. Paul in its
columns without permitting word in defence
Of this city. Still more, its columns are
always open to the bombastic bloviation of
The other city, while not a word of praise of
st. Paul is allowed 10 appear, lest it might
