IT was announced shortly after the con-
demnation to death of some recently convlc-
ted Nihilists that their co-conspirltors, who
are still at large, had determined to attempt
the assassination of the Czar at the earliest
practicable opportunity, and now the news
arrives that the sentences of all the con-
demned Nihilists, with one exception, have
been commuted to imprisonment at the In
stance of the Crown. Whether there is or is
not any connection between these two cir
cumstances does not appear, but It's not
unlikely. The Czar is known to be in fear
of his life, and he may well have thought in
this case that cemency was the better part
of Justice.

PRICE 8 CENTS.

A VIVID idea of the vast scale upon which
of the field which it covered can be gathered
from the fact that although nearly two
years have elapsed since it was taken, and
during that time hundreds Of clerks have
been continuously employed in digesting,
compiling and tabulating the statistics col
lected, it has not thus far been found prac-
ticable to finish properly for publication one
out of forty volumes which the aggregate
statistics are expected to fill, while 1t is
thought that not for four or five years yet
will a acompendium of the whole be laid be-
fore the public. At this rate of progress it
will be almost time to take the next census
before the last one is fairly out of the way.

Prohibition.
To the Editor of the Globe:

Io tIlo IultOr OIL Inc UlODe:
The ''Prohibition and Home Protection
party" is the name adopted by the nation
al convention, held at Chicago, for the
third party. It is this new party and the
relation of the cause to prohibition that I
wish to briefly call your attention to. First,
I wish to write with the actual cautery
upon the tablet of your reason, and COM
mon sense and memory, this point: This
new party is the only party in American
politics to-day that can consistently and
successfully adopt and support the prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic. Why? Be-
upon to support the traffic instead of
fighting it. Both the old parties have a
large liquor vote; so large that they can
not afford to lose it. Hence,
they must protect the traffic to retain the
whisky element. for they see in that the
only way to get or retain the power in gov
ernment. For instance, if the Republican
party throughout the United States would
adopt an anti-whisky platform, the liquor
men in that part would go over to the
Democratic party, and they would get and
retain the power. On the other hand if
the Democratic party should take up pro-
hibition they would lose their liquor vote
and influence and could not get into pow
er. All the temperance men in the United
States must get into one party before this
question can be settled. Democrats do
not like to go over into
the Republican party permanently
nor do Republicans like to go over into the
Democratic party permanently. The set
Ting of this question involves permanent
changes, because. it reaches too far into
the future to admit of any temporary fu-
sion. 1t will be easier for temperance men
in both parties to meet each other half
way and unite On middle ground in new
party, than it will be to remodel either of
the old parties. This separation must
come, and this new party must be made
the power in the land before national pro-
hibition can be brought about. 1t would
be suicidal for either OF the old parties to
espouse this cause at the present time.

BEFURE IND .AFTER.

It is both instructive and amusing to
compare the remarks of the leading Re-
publican papers and the leading Republi-
can statesmen of the country made before
the late elections with those made since
the returns plunged them into cave of
gloom. Before the election the virtues of
''the grand old party were the theme of
every editorial and of every speech. Men
were asked to believe THAT the political
millennium had come; that the Republican
party had reached that apex of perfection
that has been from time immemorial
the goal of every true patriot-for
which they have prayed and
striven in vain, and to which attain
ment in this world had been regarded as
impossible. Any intimation that the par
ty was not all that it should be-that it
was dominated by gang of unscrupulous,
dishonest and self-seeking machine bosses;
that there were those among its members
who were actuated by any other than the
purest and most patriotic motives, was re
PEELED with the utmost indignation, and no
abuse was too virulent to heap upon the
slanderous tongues or pens that gave voice
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1882-11-20

to such insinuations. Even our own i'm
maculate Bill Washburn took his stand up
on the record of the grand old party, and
avowed his willingness to stand or
fall with it; yet it is noteworthy that he
did not scruple to use means to secure his
election that were not openly counte-
nanced byhis party.
The claim of perfection for the Repub-
lican party was "a good enough Morgan
till after election It lasted no long
er than the receipt of the first batch of
returns, when, as if by miracle, the scales
fell from off the eyes of the Republican
Solons, and they began to see wherein the
party had been lacking. According to
their post-election vision it is grand old
party no more, but leprous with all that is
vile and odious in politics. The GLOBE
finds no difficulty in proving from the
columns of any of its Republican con-
temporaries that for many years it has
been held together only by the cohesive
power of public plumber and lively an
ticipation of favors yet to come. It has
been boss-ridden to its death by set of
men whose only motive has been self
aggrandizement, and who have prostituted
the most sacred trusts to the vilest uses.
1t has been maintained by gigantic
system of corruption the like of (which
the world has never seen. 1t has made
merchandise of the public Offices; has
blackmailed the public employees; has rob-
bed the public treasury for the party bene-
fit; has corrupted courts and juries.
and besmirched with its concentrating
touch every branch of the public service.
1t is, according to these veracious chron-
iclers; mass of loathsome, fostering,
polluting corruption, whose stencil
assembled with such pungency as to drive
from its ranks all men with even a modi-
cum of self-respect Or patriotic impulse.
1t cannot be that party which before
the election, was paragon of all that was
noble and worthy of imitation, has so soon
descended into the slough of iniquity-
that the ballots of people have the power
to tear an angel from heaven and
clothe it in the garments of the
damned Such sudden changes are
beyond the range OF probability. We
must conclude, therefore, that there was
some truth in the ante-election charge that
the grand old party was not all it assumed
to be. DISTINGUISHED readers will be apt
to conclude that more truths have been
spoken by the Republican press since tine
election, when they had no need of votes,
than before the fateful 9TH of November,
when every stone was being TUNED to save
the party from rout and disgrace The
Republican party of to-day is likely to de-
scend to posterity on the record given it by
its supporters at the present time rather
than on the prediction pretenses of the
same persons.

resides, except, like Mr.. Window, for few
weeks during each fall campaign. when
he visits the state to make a few stump
speeches, to keep up the empty semblance
of citizenship.
Mr.. Blame is millionaire
and is credited with having
added additional millions to his great
wealth by successful speculations during
the present year. Though an assumed
citizen of Maine, though occupying no
official position, he resides at Washington,
and has just resumed the occupancy of
his magnificent house there, after brief
absence in Maine. Does any one suppose
the ambitious statesman has no Interior
object IN view? Does he not see possible
presidential honors looming up in the
future? And is not Washington the most
favorable point for the conduct of political
intrigues in ''the laying of the ropess"
We have no doubt after Blaine's defeat
at Chicago, he entered Garfeld's cabinet
IN sincere REIMBURSEMENT of all further
presidential aspirations. He was loyal to
Garfield, and would have remained through
second term, which would, without much
doubt. have been accorded the lamented
president, had he lived. But
his tragic death has changed
all, and Mr.. Blaine is at least possible
candidate for the presidency in 1884.
But Mr.. Blaine ought to be a man of too
much sagacity to be very anxious in that
direction, after the result of the elections
this year. Unless the Democrats commit
blunders worse than crimes, the Re-
publican nomination for the presidency in
1854 will be barren one. For corruption
and mlsdemeanors of the most fragrant
and gigantic character the people have
administered a stunning rebuke to the
machine bosses of the Republican party
They have focked to the standard of the
Democratic party, not permanently, moi
definitive!y, but only as means of up
roofing the basest political corruption, an6
of inaugurating some system of purity
and honesty in public affairs.
Can the Republican party be reformed
within itself? Can the Democratic party
be trusted to accomplish the reform:
demanded by the people? The
Democratic party is now OIL
trial, on its good behavior. And the
same may be said of the Republican party
According to the action of each will be
shaped the campaign of 1884, and its re.
suits secured. The Democratic party a:
this time have the vantage ground. Can
they, will they maintain it? Time and
that not far away, must tell.

AGITATION IN NORWAY.

A Increment That Seriously Threatens the
Po,cer ofthe S,redisIs Monarch.
[London Daily News
Further particulars are to hand with re-
spect to the journey of King Oscar, of
Sweden, into Norway, and the insurance of
his life for 100000 crowns, which,as already
mentioned, was effected by him before he
started. The agitation which is going on
in Norway has been conducted by the well
known writer, Bjornsterne-Bjornso who
has made no secret of his determination to
try and overthrow the Bernadotte dynasty
in Norway, to abolish the union between
that country and Sweden, and to establish
in Norway federal republic.
The struggle between Norway and the
Swedish government commenced when
the storthing of the former country
called in question the kings right of alb
solute veto, but the difference would prob
ably have been smoothed over if the
writer, Bjornsterne-Bjo who con-
sidered himself insulted by something the
king had said, had not challenged his
sovereign. For this he was sentenced by
the court of justice to years imprison-
ment, but he escaped to Germany and has
been allowed to return to Norway and re-
sumo his campaign against the monarchy.
As the general elections are impending in
Norway they have since re-
suited in a crushing de-
feat of the government, some four-ifths of
the new deputies being Republicans, King
Oscar, with the view of showing that there
was no truth in the report that he intended
to abolish the Norwegian constitution and
occupy the country with the Swedish army,
determined to go Chistiana himself, and
his object in insuring his life was to let
the Norwegians understand that, though
quite aware of the danger he was incur
ring. he was not afraid of facing his ad-
versaries. Whether this attitude will sue
coed in disarming the opposition yet re-
mains to be seen; but if the Republican
party obtains majority in the new
storthing, King Oscars position will be a
very difficult one, as the only power which
he possesses is to veto a measure twice,
and the Swedish army has no right to enter
Norway.

The TicItborne Claimants Last Hope.
TIOndon Globe.

In connection with the expedition to
Australia of Messrs Charles Orion and D.
Smith, of Clerkenwell, for the purpose of
identifying the lunatic, William Cresswell,
at present confined in the Paramatta
asylum, near Sydney, as Arthur Orion, an
extraordinary piece of evidence has come
to hand. It appears that Mr.. Smith had
some considerable correspondence with the
late Mr.. Guilford Onslow in reference to
the proposed expedition to Australia, and
in letter to Mr. Smith, written April last,
before his death, Mr.. Onslow says
81 had an interview at some con-
siderable length with Sir Henry Parkes, C..
B. M. g., in London on Wednesday last,
who received me with great courtesy. He
remarked that as he had visited both OAR
linghurst and Paramatta asylums, he no
doubt among the inmates saw Cresswell,
whom we call Arthur Orion, but he never
knew him by his name; and that he had
never read the Tichborne case; SO as re-
garding Arthur Orion or Cresswell you will
see Sir Henry Parkes is of no use to us in
this matter After detailing at some
length his interview with Sir Henry Parkes,
Mr.. Onslow thus sums the matter up:
prudence suggests that you or Mr..
Kimber 1.-THE claimants solicitor) or a
deputation should wait on Sir
Henry Parkes (who was then in this coun-
try with the object of giving to him the
necessary guarantees and notary public
document to enable him to send over the
said lunatic forthwith, by which you and
Charles orion will be saved an expensive
and useless voyage to Sidney. The fol-
lowing questions will then arise: l. What
will you do with Cresswel on his arrival?
2. How do you propose to meet the we'll
known fact that Mrs. Jury and Lady Itch
borne have shown that the lunatic is not
Arthur Orion? 3. How do you propose to
secure that Cresswelps brother in Reading
will swear that he is not his brother? Con-
slider all these things well over before you
act" It was stated at the late national
Tichborne conference that the convict
Thomas Castro rests the whole of his case
ON the fact that the man Cresswell Is Ar
