THE BASIS FOR THE FALSEHOOD.


We give the readers of the GLOBE this
morning the benefit of the Minneapolis
Trsbuae's explanation Of it's falsehoods rela-
tive to the State Fair society. We invite
our readers, and especially those who reside
in st. Paul, to read the explanation atten-
lively. 1t will be seen that the Tribune rests
its lies entirely on the lies promulgated by
the Minneapolis mornin paper, printed in
st. Paul.
In the light of present events, in view of
the fact that the Indebtedness of the State
Agricultural society has been liqui-
dated, that the grounds and buildings
for the coming State fair have been
secured, that railroad transportation facili-
ties are assured which will afford ample
means for reaching the grounds, we again
urge attention to the infamous falsehoods
put forth by the Minneapolis concern in this
city. For the purpose of aiding Bill King
in his private show, the morning paper,
which he prints in this city, prostitutes its
columns and seeks to destroy the State
Society. It repeatedly declared that there
would be no State fair held this year and
when the President of the society officially
announced the State fair programme it hid il
away, in small type, in an obscure corner,
without having tho manliness o. decsncy to

If Eli Perkins is to be believed but
about this there is grave doubt-the rumor
that the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
road is negotiating for the controlling inter-
est in the Northern Pacific road is without
foundation. He states in a recent letter, on
authority of Vice President Wadsworth, that
it will be the policy of the road to construct
line of its own to the Pacific about mid
way between the Union and Northern Pacific,
through country rich in agricultural and
mineral resources. Ellis story is partially
confirmed by the fact that the present stock
holders of the Northern Pacific took all the
bonds issued for the extension to be built
this year from Columbia river eastward.

HE New York Star has this horrib
thouohf.

TIE New York Star has this horrible
thought:
Adispatch from Wa ,hington states that ex-
Gov. Ramsey, Of Minnesota, is to be secretary
of war when McCrary resigns. But this is too
indefinite to make ex-Gov. Ramsey feel like
adding at once to the height OF his boot heel.
1t McCrary goes out it pretty we'll estab-
lished fact that the United States Senate will
not approve his nomination to Judge Dillon s
seat on the bench, and for that reason the
chances are that McC.ary will stay in. He is
not man to abandon good thing until he is
certain of better.
There is little doubt that this view of the
case is correct, and the chances that ex-Sen-
ator Ramsey will ever occupy seat in Hayes
cabinet are very thin. We shall be
very sorry to have our Aleck lose this prize
just as it seems almost within his grasp.
but we fear we shall have to fall back on our
''favorite sonny" and be content with having
Window for President. In fact it could
hardly be expected that SO small State as
Minnesota could furnish so many great men

question has assumed new importance,
however, by the efforts OF the Republican
party to retain upon the
statute books clearly uncon-
stitutional law authorizing the military
authorities to preside at the polls on election
days, and giving them authority over the
civil power. This innovation, trifling though
1t may appear to some, is but the entering
wedge which was designed to bring about
the complete subserviency of the civil to the
military authority. It is part of the plot
to revolutionize the government established
and preserved at SO great sacrifice of blood
and treasure, and to make of it monarchy
IN TACT IT not in name. II has been the
theory of the Republican leaders that tie
people are not to be trusted with the manage
ment of their own affairs; that strong
central government is needed to hold them
IN check and to manage their affairs. To
maintain such theories large standing
army is needed, and that army must, conse-
quently, have supreme dominion over the
civil authority. Against such q perversion
of the intent of the founders of the re-
public, the Democratic party early took
decided stand, and on that issue
proposes to fight the battle o.,
liberty to the end. It will not consent that
the rights reserved to the States shall be
wrested from them, nor will it consent to
the employment of the agents of the despot,
military force, for the government of a
free people. This is, in brief, the policy of
the party, and it is we'll expressed in the
platform of the Pennsylvania Democrats.
It was we'll enough to remind Mr.. Hayes
thai, though recognized as the de tacto
President, he yet occupies his place by virtue
of corrupt conspiracy. 1t is not likely
that he has forgotten it, and it is not proba-
bic that the people will ever forget it. The
declaration opposing the granting of subsi-
dies ought to be needed by some of the mem
bers of Congress from Pennsylvania who, in
the last Congress, were anxious to vote sew
eral millions of the peoples money to John
Roach. The condemnation of the last legis-
lature of the State, the most corrupt body of
men ever assembled in legislative hall, was
just, yet it will fall undecided upon the cal
LOUIS consciences of the fellows for whom it
is intended.
Altogether the platform is terse, eom-
prehensive expression of correct political
principles. It Is model after which the
Democrats of other States can pattern. We
recommend it to careful perusal.

The 1rSbune's statement that the State

cause the debts are not paid of because adequate
railroad facilities cannot be provided, and be-
cause the cooperation of the business men Of

other adverse conditions, that the Pioneer, Press

SAMUEL f.. ADAMS.
Brief Biographical Sketch Of the Nesc
President of the State Agricultural So

BRIEF biographical Sketch Of the NpaC
President of the St1te Agricultural So
ctety.
st. Paul Dispatch
For the information of such of our read
ers who may not be familiar with the career
of Hon. Samuel E. Adams, the new presi-
dent of the Minnesota State Agricultural
society, we condense from recently pub
fshed biographical sketch few facts as to
his personal history. Mr.. Adams now resides
at Monticello, Wright county, Minnesota.
He was born in Vermont. After good com
mon school education, and earning money
enough by teaching to pursue collegiate
course, he entered Dartmouth college at the
age of twenty-three. But falling health ad.
monished him that he must abandon his
cherished ambition and embark in some
field where enslavement to books should
not be demanded. The dilemma was met
by prompt d. cision; he resolved to cast
his future with the West. Accordingly he
came to Minnesota, then territory. After
q year spent in observation he settled in
Monticello, where he has since resided. At
the Organization of the State he was elected
Senator, an Office which he filled so accep-
tably that he was returned for succ- edlng
term. During this period he married Miss
Augusta J. Smith, of Pittsford, Vermont
In 1859 Mr.. Adams became special agent of
the postof6ce department. for Minnesota and
Iowa. The next year he was appointed re-
ceiver of public moneys in the United States
land Office at st. Cloud, a position which he
held two years and was then appointed pay
master in the army by President Lincoln. In
1865 he was breveted Northumberland in
recognition of faithful service, and in 1868,
after the close of the war, was honorably dis
charged. In 1868 when the capabilities of
the grange began to attract notice in Minne-
sofa, Mr.. Adams was among the first to
grasp the institution and to aid in planting
it where it could be nutured and sustained
in the in crest of that class with which his
sympathies had during all his life been close
~ allied-the tiller of the soil. For six
years he served as master in local organize
ton, meantime being elected master of the
Minnesota State Grange, position which
he still holds, having being twice reelected.
At the eleventh annual session of the Nation
al Grange, held in Cincinnati in 1877, he was
elected master of that body, an Office Of
great responsibility as we'll as honor. His
time will expire next November.

THERE has been an increase IN the death
rate of Chicago during the first six months
of this year over 1873 of $50. This is at
tributed mainly to the fact that the epidemic
diseases of scarlet fever and diphtheria have
prevailed largely and have continued longer
than ever before. The total number OF
deaths up to June 80 was 1928. The city
is said to be in an extremely filthy condition
many of the tenement houses being reekine
with foul odors and noisome gases.
