there is no wonder. His lines have not fall
len IN pleasant places. Things under a Re-
pub lean administration are not what they
seem, and anybody would be excusable TO,
entertaining desire to escape from the con.
terminating associations. But Gen. Johnston
enters no complaint against the policy
of the party he represents; his only objec-
ton IS to the means employed by the oppo-
sition to defeat the evident intention of the
people, aud, feeling that he is not made for
political intrigue, he seeks to escape from it.
1t is not to his discredit that he has no COM
munity with the politicians of to-day. He
has heretofore lived in different atmos-
phere, and should never have quilted it.

THE PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Democratic
State convention yesterday is an admirable
document. The late hour of its adoption
precludes extended review, but we believe it
would have been greatly improved if the
minority resolution from the platform COM
mittee had been adopted.
The two financial planks, as finally re-
ported, were identical with the exception
that the minority plan contained these
words:
That we favor the gradual substitution of
United States treasury notes for national bank
notes."
The words quoted were not allowed to 90
in the platform on the ground that they fa-
vored soft OF rag money. By what process
of reasoning the substitution Of greenbacks
for q similar amount of national
bank paper is regarded as favoring
"soft''' or 'rsg money! is difficult
to conceive, especially when 1t is coupled
with the distinct and positive declaration
that gold and silver coin is the money of the
Constitution and that all paper money should
at all times be redeemable in coin.
The men who labored for the minority re-
port will be cordially endorsed by tier con-
stituency, and the acceptance of the exclude
ed words, would, We believe, have made both
platform and ticket stronger. On the ques-
ton Of 'hard money" both planks were

WEAKENING WHEAT.

Tumble in Prices at Baltimore and Other
Places.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.-For week past the
grain market has been excited and prices ran
up rapidly: the shorts bidding freely to cover.
The receipts of wheat were liberal, footing up
an aggregate of 5000 bushels. The high
est point reached for wheat was yesterday,
when the settling price for No. 2 winter red
spot was sl.2S, and southern amber ranged
from Sl.25 to $l.35. For the week ending to-
day sales were 6,95S 600 bushels; shipment
for week .245. 200 bushels. To-day the bears
succeeded in breaking the market and Western
wheat fell off g. cents and Southern dropped
cents from the price of yesterday. The corn
market has shared somewhat in the excitement.
Wheat is still coming forward freely. The
stock in elevators to-day is 1907, us bushels;
stock Of corn to-day 26l,724 bushels. The
-four market has been fairly active and prices
advanced frem 50 to 70 cents per barrel in all
grades. Receipts have been small and sales re-
stricted by limited offerings.

THE TWO CONVENTIONS.

The quotations from Republican papers
which the GLOBE has freely furnished shows
the character of the recent Republican con-
vention. 1t has been depicted by these Re-
publican sheets as "howling mob" "a dis.
graceful body" filled with corruption" and
"knavery" of high and low degree. No Ian
guage has been too strong for these loyal
sheets to use in speaking of their party
friends, and candor compels US to gay that
they have all told the truth. If anything.
they have fallen short of the truth, but lest
we should be considered partisan, we are
willing to rest the matter upon thu Repub-
lican verdict.
We are sorry these Republicans could not
have been spectators at the Democratic COLI
vention, yesterday, which met in the same
hall where their disreputable crowd as
sembled three weeks ago. The contrast
would have been striking. The spectator
would have found an honorable, quiet, in
telligent party of gentlemen, striving with
disinterested purpose to present such plat
form and ticket to the public as would COM
mand confidence and respect. There was
no boisterousness, no ordinations and no
recr1mination, but an earnest desire to Sc
cure the greatest good to the greatest num-

sofa, and the character of the men present
indicated new life and hope for the De-
mocracy. Our only regret is that the entire
State cannot see the two conventions as they
actually were.

TIE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

1t gives the GLOBE pleasure to heartily en-
dorse the excellent Democratic State ticket
presented by the Convention yesterday. The
head of the ticket, Hon. Edmund Rice,
needs no introduction to the people of Min
nesota. His nomination is all the more
gratifying because it was rendered to him by
the State at large, and was neither urged or
sought by himself or the delegation from
his county. The Ramsey county delegates
repeatedly stated that they had no
candidate to urge, but anxiously
desired to join in nominating any
good man for Governor who might
be suggested by outside delegations. In
view of the fact that geographical lines are
sometimes considered important, Ramsey
county desired to follow instead of to lead
in naming the head of the ticket. After
full and free consultation the delegates from
abroad with degree of unsnimity which
augurs success, called upon Mr.. Rice to carry
their standard in the coming battle. The
convention recognized thai in him they &c.
cured tower of strength at the very outset
of the contest. The battle is to be IN ag-
gressive one, and the standard bearer select
ed is one who cannot be placed on the de-
fensive.
Hon. Edmund Rice, the next Governor of
Minnesota, ID native of Vermont, having
been born at Waitsfeld, on the 18th of Feb
ruary, 1919. In 1929 he was deprived by
death of the care and assistance of his father,
and since that early period of his life has
been his own guide and protector. In 1883
ne removed to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where
he studied law and was admitted to the bar
in 1912. He held several positions of honor
and trust in connection with the courts of
Michigan, and in 1847 he went into the Mex
lean war, serving until the close. In !
July, 1849, he came to Minnesota, and, form
ing a law partnership under the name of
Rice, Hollinshead & Becker, engaged in the
practice of his profession. III 1857 he took
hold of the embryo railroad system of the
State, and might truthfully be said to be tho
father of the net work of lines which now
envelop this section of the great Northwest.

Where the Sun Rises Early.
San Erancisco Rullof;n


The very brightest of Wrangel days are
not what Californians would call bright.
The sunshine is always tempered in sitting
down through the moist atmosphere, allow
ing no dazzling brilliancy-no dry, white
glare. The town, like the wild landscape,
rests beneath this hushing spell. On tie
longest days the sun rises about o'clock,
but it is daybreak at midnight. The cocks
crow when they wake, without much refer
ence to the dawn, for it is never dark,
Cock Growing is the one certain, invariable
sound peculiar to civilization, but there are
only'a few, half dozen or so. all told, of
full grown roosters in Wrangel TO awaken
the town to give it Christian character. At
ter sunrise few smoke columns may be seen
rising languidly to tell the first stir of the
people. Then an Indian or two may be no.
ticed here and there at the doors of their
big barn-like cabins, and merchant getting
ready for trade; but scarcely sound is
heard, only muf1ed stir gradually deepen
ing. There are only two white babies in
town as far as l have seen, and as for the
Indian babies they wake and feed, and make
no crying sign. Later you may hear the
strokes of an ak on firewood and the croak-
ing of a raven.
Aboutr0 or clock the town is awake and
on it legs and in its boats. Indians, mostly
women and children, begin to gether in
scores on the front platforms of the half
dozen stores, sitting carelessly in their blank
cts, every other sace blackened hideously, a
naked circle around the eyes. and perhaps
spot over each cheek bone and on the tin of
the nose where the smut had been weathered
off. Some of the little children are also
blackened and none are overload, their light
and airy costume consisting of calico shirt
reaching only to the waist, as if even this
fimsy material were sorely scanty, the whole
weighing, when dry, about as much as pa
per collar. Boys eight or ten years old often
have an additional garment pair of cast
away miners overalls. These also are wide
enough and ragged enough for extravagant
ventilation. The larger girls and young
women are quite brightly and extensively
calicoed, and wear jaunty straw hats, COR
geously ribboned, which glow among the
blackened and blanketed old crones like scar
let tanagers in flock of blackbirds.

The way in which margins were called this
morning on the unfortunate shorts was eau

with alacrity. There were. however, some who
could not 60 further, and it is a wonder tina
the number is SO few. The failures really
amount to SO little as to be of no consequence
as to names or amounts. The advance in prices
has been very remarkable, and it is not surpris-
ing that the shorts have been terribly squeezed.
On the first day of the current month spot
wheat sold at $50. spot corn at 32149c, spot oats
at 2l11c, rye at 1870, pork at s7.S5 per barrel,

aary. Short ribs &c for September, and $500
for October
In spite Of the fact that none of the failures
have thus far been very serious. there appears
to be well.grounded feeling that within the
next few days there will come the suspension
OF number Of firms. Owing to the fact that
the traders IN England sent over orders az
usual to have the wheat forwarded them, and
limited them below the market, SO that a
good many of the orders sent here. could
not be filled. The commission men here re-
ceived notice that the orders had been
filled on the seaooard, that is, the com
mission men in Baltimore, New York, Philadel-
phia, ETC., had filed the bills. It turns out
that, instead of doing as the commission mer-
chants here do-these dealers on the seaboard
had telegraphed that they would ship at such
and UGH p,ice when they did not hold the
stuff. They sold short, expecting that grain
would come in from the West to fill the orders
Thus they forsook the character of commission
tors. The moment Il was found
that Europe wanted all that America
could spare, that moment supplies from the
country began to. diminish, and then the de-
mand to fill the orders of these spectators on
the seaboard was added to the demand to fill
fresh orders from the other side of the Allan
tic, and that doubling up of the demand caused
the excitement, which has made the market
jump one and two cents day recently. 1t is
noteworthy that the continent of Europe has
taken out two-thirds of our enormous ship
ments since harvest, those of the fortnight
ending septem Der Goth aggregating about 49,
100000 bushels in -four, wheat and corn.
