The suiItv Grease snot souirms.


The publication by tho GLOBE of q letter from
a merchant, showing the crookedness of the
state oil inspector, seems to have created COM
motion in the garrett of the evening zip which
the oleagneus inspector prints. The scurrilous
sheet attempts no reply to the damning ex-
posure, but falls to abusing a private citizen,
Z. Il. Kelly, Esq, whom it falsely assumes as in
some manner responsible for the exposure. The
Gil ODE does not skulk behind any one, and it is
due Mr.. Kelly to say that the editor of the
GLOBE had neither seen or heard from Mr.
Kelly for week prior to the publication, and he
(Kelly) did not furnish or know of the charge
made against the oil Inspector until he saw it in
the GLOBE. Neither has he, directly indi-
rectiy, ever mentioned the oil inspection bust
ness to any one connected with this paper.
Of course the greasy being who disgraces
Journalism very well knows this, and
this statement is made out of no regard to
him, but in justice to business man who is not
in the newspaper business or party to news

The letter which the GLOBE printed was from
an old and prominent country merchant, and
was never seen by anyone save the
editor Of the GLOBE, to whom il
was addressed, until it appeared in print.
The agitation which it has created in the greasy
carcass which pretends to inspect oils shows
that it was home shot, and it is to be hoped
that an investigation may be ordered by the
proper authorities, 1-'f

TEXAS newspaper has very vehe-
ment attack on the Democratic governor
of that state, based on the ground that ne
does not keep the state free from crime,
more especially thu offenses of the COW
boys, who are extensively engaged in the
cutting { the wire fences which have been
placed in position to enclose the enormous
tracts of lands purchased by capitalists.
This attack is being quoted very approx
lngly by Republican papers in the north,
which proves. as they ssgely allege,a reign
of terror in the south, and the dire results
which follow q Democratic administration.
Now, Texas, in its extent, is mighty
country, of which dozen ordinary states
can be formed. All the constab1lary,
police and militia of Texas, if reinforced
by the army OF the United States and
Great Britain. could rot efficiently police
this enormous area and fully prevent the
evils complained Of. So much for the
power Of a''Democratic' government so
protect landowners against the COW
boys. Again, it may be worth noticing
that the state Of Illinois has Republican
governor; that it is Republican through
out; and, at the came time, it is the most
lawless state in the Union. In one county
alone there have been within few years
& score of murders, and in not single
case has the perpetrator been detected and
punished. Lynchings are common; every
year there are dozens of murders which
pass unavengsd; bank defalcations are
common; lotteries and other forms of
gambling flourish; and business failures,
which bear every evidence OF fraud, are Of
almost daily occurrence. If the preva-
lence of wire cutting by cowboys in Texas
is formidable indictment of Demo
cratic governor and mis- administration,
what is the logical effect Of the supreme
crlminality of Illinois as an indictment of
a Republican administrator?

TIE GLOBE ANwUAI.

On the thirty-frs of December the
GLOBE will issue It's regular annual review
of the growth and progress of ST. Paul for
1888. AS the year 1883 has eclipssd all
former years IL progress, the annual re-
view of the GLOBE will eclipse all former
similar issues.
We had hoped to have had the new press
of the GLOBE in operation,w which would have
enabled US to preserve in stereotype form,
the pages Of that issue, and enable US to
reproduce at will as many copies as the
public might demand for circulation.
AS our new machinery will
not be in operation at that
time the edition will be largely governed
by the number of advanced orders. A
very large extra edition will, in any event
be printed, but the experience of past
years warns us of the impossibility to de
termine the exact demands, and
this timely notice is given thai
those who desire to secure this valuable is
sue may make their orders without delay.
The ISSUE will be distinctively st. Paul,
and will enable those who wish to show
their friends abroad the progress being
made by the Queen City of the Northw west
to do SO without advertising any other To-
oality. We canrot guarantee to supply
any orders received after Friday of the
current week.
The issue will be at least sixteen pages
and perhaps twenty, and will be sold at
five cents per coy, without discount for
arge orders.
Advertisers will also do we'll to avail
themselves of this opportunity which
cones to them bnt once year. All ad-
vertising favors will be received at regu-
lar rates, no extra charges whatever being
made for the superior advantages offered.

ASNOT-GgS CAMPAIGN,

Everything seems to indicate that the
Republicans are about to try to make the
shotgun an issue in the next presidential
campaign. Already the columns of the
soune, Of Chicago, and the Globe-D Demo-
crat, Of st. Louis, are flying the enssn-
guined shirt as the banner under which
they propose to lead their hosts to battle.
Democrats, anxious for an easy victory,
will not be discouraged when they find
that their opponents have elected to 90 be-
fore the country on this issue. 1t is one
which will not require to be met, for the
| reason that the good sense Of the people
will at once repudiats it as stale beyond
comparison, uncalled for, false
in its entirety, and un-
worthy Of consideration. They will
recognize it as an attempt to divert at
tsntion from the situation of the country,
the intent Of the parties, and the iniqui-
ties of the organization which has SO long
| controlled the administration of the gov
| eminent.
Tho coming campaign can, by 30 pos
sihility, be shaped by Republican ciarnors
as to the shotgun in the south; it will be
shaped by the record of the Republican
party, and what that party has done, and
by what it proposes to do should it have a
further extension of power. What the
people wish to have settled is something
which appeals to their pockets. They
| wish to know whether or not millions of
| dollars are still to be wasted every ysar in
bogus pensions; or in the support of a
few corporations at the expense of
the masses. The country wishes to know
why such colossal sums have been expended
for navy while have not single war
vessel worthy tbs name. 1t would like to
find ont why, since this Republican party
has held the power, the entire population
has become lawless to an extent never be-
fore known in our history, and in which
the respect for law has almost ceased. in
which murder, defalcation, debssement
OF commercial morality, and criminal
offences of ell kinds have inundated the
union.
We desire to know why it is that every
Official connected with this party, however
small his legitimate income, has become
wealthy; why representatives and senators
can afford to pay more for
election or reelection than their
salaries during their terms of
office, and yet accumulate vast for
tunes. We wish to know why crimes Of
the magnitude of those involved in the
star route cases, the credit mohilier or
sanitation, have never been punished.

fanlting railway corporations have never
