The weather Wednesday night and
Thursday morning was not promising
The cool air of Monday and Tuesday
was succeeded by warm winds from the
southland this, with the hurrying clouds,
portended rain on Thursday.
THE STREETS.
Our people, however, undaunted 10y the
prospect, went steadily forward prepa-
ring for the reunion, and at an early
hour Thursday morning the streets pre-
sented an appearance of unequalled
beauty. About a dozen large storm
flags were suspended across the streets,
and the fronts of buildings were elabo-
rately bedecked with small flags, flowers,
and evergreens. The south side of Main
street, between Marietta and Market
streets, presented perfect wilderness
of tiags-the most profuse display here
being at Cowen Bros store, Vests drug
store, Kies' restaurant, and at Shep-
herd & Kinks. The upper windows
of the old Court House were filled with
small flags, along the lower front was
festooned monster flag, and from the
very top of the spire floated a large and
elegant bunting flag, placed there by Mr.
L. {. Fawcett, our well-known timer.
and Deputy Sheriff Sedwick. The front
of the school building was festooned with
banners of red, white and blue, suspend
ed from the third story windows, and
from the lower windows there fioated a
liberal lot of small flags. The National
Hotel front was elaborately bedecked
with flags and cvergreens, and presented
a fine appearance. Many others bestow-
ed great pains in decorating their build
ings. Never before in the history of the
town was there such a general display
Of flags, and never before did the streets
present such a gala day appearance. On
Main street, opposite the st. Clair Hotel,
4 triumphal arch had been erected, which.
covered with evergreens aid flags, and
swinging under it, in large letters, the
words, SOLDIERS, WE GREET YOU" pre-
'ented splendid appearance, and more
han any one object, beautifed the street.

the smallest matter of life crushed every
desire to make anything new-or to devise
new ways or means for doing old things.
Intercourse with foreigners and repeal of
their old laws, has melted new life into their
ideas, and on all sides evidences, not only
of initiative, but of high order of original
ing ingenuity, are to be frequently seen.
Fifty years hence Europe and America, will
have to meet both Japanese and Chinese
skill and labor in competition in their own
markets. The struggle will be hard one,
and unless labor saving machinery
gives the Anglo Saxon the victory
the Asiatic races will drive the European and
American out of the markets of the world.
Such at least is the feeling entertained by
many who by personal observation have
studied the capabilities of the hundreds of
millions of people in these two empires.
There is scarcely an industry which they
have not practiced, science which they
have not investigated, or skill which they
have not demonstrated to be within the
reach of their powers.
Though to our eyes their work is simple,
or even crude, it is never rough nor I'M
polished. The figures on their bronze and
lacquer work are grotesque.but executed, as
cording to their standard, as closely up to
nature as any in the world.
Give Japanese artist few lessons in the
European schools, and he is a rival to be
feared by our masters. In q word, they are
the coming people, an opinion which will be
realized more and more, as times passes, and
intercourse and acquaintance are increased
and cultivated. HESTER A. BENEDICT.

ONE of the absurdest ideas is the hue and
cry of Republican papers, like the Faribault
Democrat and the LIE Seuer Sentinel, rela-
tive to the contest in this district being a
personal matter of Mr.. Donnelly's. That is
the sheerest nonsense. As simple indi-
vidual the GLOBE cares no more for Mr..
Donnelly than any one else. He happens to
occupy representative position, and is the
agent with which bribery, fraud and general
election scoundreIism, as represented by
Washburn, can be rebuked. This rebuke
naturally hurts the feelings of the Re-
publicans and also of their al
lies, who, Judas like, merely pretend
to be Democrats in order to betray their party
and strengthen Republicans, whose slaves
they are. The papers named and the pseudo
Democrats fear that if Washburn is kicked
out for bribery it will damage the Republi-
can party. 1t might even give the Demo
Gratis in Rice county sufficient strength to
elect square-toed Democrat superintendent
of schools.

IT would appear that the illness of Prince
Bismarck is more serious than the German
authorities will admit. Prince Hohenlohe
has been called to Berlin to take the Office
of secretary of state for foreign affairs with
a view to ultimately stepping into Bis
marck's shoes as chancellor. He is supposed
to represent, more fully than any other man
in the nation, the aggressive policy that char
acterized Bismarck's administration, and
has employed his time at Paris, where he
has been the German ambassador, in fully
informing himself as to the future plans
and policies of France. His promotion is
regarded with great deal of uneasiness at
Paris.

made a faithful and efficient public officer,
and by all party usage was entitled to re-
nomination, unless he positively declined.
Instead of declining he was an active candi-
date for the second term. He remained at
his post in Washington, faithfully attend
ing to his duties, and while soliciting sup
port he refused to buy up primary meetings.
Washburn was the representative and
member of the thieving pine land ring. He
was a fit representative of the thieving In
dian rings, and hence he had almost unlim-
tied corruption funds at his disposal. Charley
johnson, his present private secretary and
general dirty work fellow at Washington,
was sent throughout the district, leaving a
Shiny trail of corruption wherever he went.
This was to secure the nomination. Suisse
quently he was secretary of Washburn's COM
mittee, and discussed large amounts of the
swag during the canvass.
We present elsewhere evidence conclusive
and overwhelming as to the corruption
which secured the nomination of Washburn.
admit, that it was secured by monstrous
scoundrelism. The same tactics, save on a
larger scale entered into the canvass. The
tremendous onslaught made upon Washburn
alarmed him. The frauds of the miller's
ring, perpetrated on the farmers,
aroused a tremendous antipathy to
Washburn and though he probably
supposed no bribery would be necessary
after buying his election, he found defeat
impending and with his friends he raised a
corruption fund of huge proportions to buy
the election.
1t is self-evident proposition that man
who will not hesitate to buy his nomination
is not too good to buy his election. Either
offense should disqualify him. Having
proved the former by Republican testimony
the latter can readily be shown, even though
Republicans howl and deny.

CORRUPTION BEGINNING WITH THE
NOMINATION

There is one branch of Washburn's brib-

proper attention or publicity and that is the
manner in which he secured his nomination.
It may be set down as an automatic premise
that man VINO will buy his nomination and
foist himself upon his party against its will

to secure his election.

by witnesses for the purpose of spch contest"
This law furnishes the means of ascertaiuing
exactly how every elector voted, that is its
acknowledged purpose. Every man must in
effect vote ticket with his name endorsed up
on it, if he votes at all and in case of contest
the ticket is to be produced from the records to
become public property. The doctrine is laid
down in Reed VS.. Kenass, Republica vs..
Ray, People VS.. Cicott, supra.
and in Cooley on the Constitution, page 6a5,
that the elector cannot be compelled to testify
for whom he voted. If this is correct, it would
seem to be decisive of the question under con.
sideration; the purpose and effect of the law
beingl to compel the eector to furnish the
evidence of his vote. But aside from this.
under this law the elector is compelled to COM
NIT to the keeping of Others the secret of his
vote-it is not his will but anothers', which
determines whether it shall be made public
Given a sufficient inducement and the secret
may be laid open to all the world. 1t is true
the law will punish the ''willfui and corrupt
conduct of the officer, but the voters

the provisions of this law that
The judges and clerks of election should not in

tickets Inadvertently discover how any elector
had voted. The law spreads the evidence be-
fore their eyes and the necessary consequences
cannot be avoided by provision that they
shall not "willfully and corruptly' look at it.
The act not only makes it possible to ascertain,
contrary to his will, how every one voted in
any case, but under its provision it is certain
that secrecy as to all votes will not be main
tanned, and beside it in effect provides in cases
of contest that the elector shall furnish a
record of his vote. This is not inviolable
secrecy.
