And he said bring me up Samuel SAM
UEL, XVIII, II.
Saul had been chosen by God to be the
leader of His people; he had been an
nointed with the consecrating oil by
Samuel the prophet, and he commenced
his reign with every advantage possible
for man. Of imposing presence, and
manner calculated to win the hearts of
his people, with Samuel for his guide
and counselor, able to reveal to him the
will, and to impart to him instruction
from God, who only required perfect obedi-
ence to his commands, and He would drive
out his enemies before him and crown
him with glory and honor. In every
strait or perplexity he could hear the
voice of God spoken by his prophet Sam
uel, showing him way of escape. At
first his reign was prosperous and the
Israelites were united and happy under
their king, but with prosperity Saul be-
come proud and disobedient and Samuel
was no longer his chosen counselor.
Samuel died and misfortunes and re-
verses overlook Saul, and he strove in
vain to combat the Philistines and over
come the discussions among his own sub
Jects. At last despairing, sssore distress

STAND BY THE TICKET.

The great error of the Democratic
party in Ramsey county of late years has
been internal dissension. Real or fancied
personal grievances have been carried 10
the polls until many of the official posi-
tions of trust and profit have been handed
over to the political enemy. There is a
Democratic majority in this county rang
ing from ten to fifteen hundred when a
full and united vote is polled. 1t is
SIMPLY outrageous for the party
to throw away its prestige
as it has done, and give the control of
public affairs to political opponents.
This fall is good time to begin and
turn over new political leaf. The
GLOBE is making no personal warfare
upon the Republican nominees. 1t leaves
the public to judge of their personal
merits, but it urges the Democracy to
present united front and sustain their
whole ticket. The way to work party re-
forms is to secure them within party lines,
and not rush headlong into the arms of
political opponents, thus destroying your
own organization. The Democratic tick
ct this fall is free from all entangling
alliances and personal animosities. This
enables the party to turn over the new
leaf suggested, and see how it will seem to
secure arousing Democratic victory on the

THE SMITH FAMILY.

One Wing of it in Trouble-A Party by
the Name of Frank Smith Charged with
Doing Divers Mean Things
There is trouble in one wing of the
Smith family On the I'd of April last,
Flora Coon gave herself in marriage to
Frank Smith, and now with less than
three months of welded D.lss and-mis-
cry, Flora demands divorce. Edmund
r. Hollinshead is her attorney In her
complaint Flora sets forh that almost i'm
mediately following her marriage, Frank
Smith, her liege lord by law, commenced
drinking; that he continued drinking
continuously, coming home, when he did
so, drunk; that when so drunk he called
her foul names, and abused and NAL
treated her on divers occasions, assault
ing her, backing her eyes. knocking her
down, and doing many other acts he
should not have done, and for which she
had given him no cause, and that finally
he had deserted her for weeks at time,
without providing her with food or any
means of support. If Flora has made a
truthful complaint the Frank Smith afore-
said is disgrace to the Smith family.

THE COUNT COMMIsSIoNERs.

There are no more important offices to
be filled in the county than those of
county commissioners. The positions
should be held by those who have no per-
sonal ends to serve, but who have prop
erty interests in common with other
citizens to be protected. 1t is exactly
such men as these who are to be found
ON the Democratic ticket.
John Grace is large property owner,
who is interested in an economical ad-
ministration of public affairs. His long
experience in county matters enables him
to give valuable services to the public.
He, fortunately, has the time
TO devote to public affairs, and
he gives it ungrudgingly. No
more watchful and faithful represen-
tative Of public interests has ever occu-
pied seat in the board. He has no in
terests in public contracts, no groceries
or other articles to sell the county. He
deserves triumphant reelection, and
will doubtless receive it.
Nicholas Pottgeisler, Jr., will be a
new member of the board, but he can be
relied upon to do his duty Like Mr.. Grace,
he has no private ends to serve. He has
grown up in this city, and has an in
telligent appreciation of what is re-
quired in the position to which he is
about to be elected. His own property
interests and the estate with which he is
connected, give him direct interest in
preventing extravaganza and he will
look after county business as he would
his own. He is q deservedly popular
young man, and though the compensa-
ton is merely nominal, will be found
ready to devote all the time to the duties
of the place which may be required.
There are but two candidates for COM
missioner to be voted on in the city, and
the two just named are in marked con-
trast with the Republican nominees,
who, while very worthy citizens, have
personal ends to subserve, which they
would be less than human if they failed
to consider
For the county towns the Democratic
nominee is VIM. WEIGH, who formerly
held the position of county commission
er and discharged the duties with the ut
most fidelity. He was not candidate
for the place and was reelected without
his knowledge or suggestion because
he was recognized as exactly the man for
the position. 1t was with difficulty that
any one could be found by the Re-
publicans who would allow their names
TO be used, and it was only with the dis
tinct understanding that he would make
no effort that Mr.. Quinn was nominated.

local ticket in Ramsey county. 1t might
be well to profit little by the policy of
the Republicans. They arc ever ready to
pat the Democrats on the back, and urge
them to show their independence by vot-
ing for Republicans, but when it comes
to their own party, they blindly gulp
down any dose which may be presented.
The question who shall be elected in
Ramsey county next Tuesday rests en-
tirely in the hands of the Democracy.
The Republicans are powerless to secure
anything unless aided by Democratic
votes.
If the Democrats will Loyalty stand by
their nominees they will place their organ
ization upon solid footing, and have
the satisfaction of seeing every candidate
on the Democratic ticket elected.
