There was very cordial endorsement of
the nomination of Blaine in the Tones of
London and in the same sheet there has ap-
peared an article congratulating this country
on the nomination OF Cleveland Now,
what will the Republicans do about this en-
dorsement of both candidates. or course
the favor shown to Cleveland win at once be
seized upon as a reason why this country
should defeat him, but then what can be
done with the commentator Of BLAMED
Probably the only way out of this will be to
suppress the fact that so great an authority
has expressed Itself pleased over the nomin-
alton of Blaine. However, this endorse
ment of both candidates by the same Eng
lish newspaper viii afford ammunition for
the organs of both parties. The Democrats
can point their Irish readers to the good
words said of Blaine by the TRaRdsrer as 3
reason why he should be defeated, and the
Republicans can evolve the same conclusion
from the cor,iial things which the same organ
has to say of Cleveland.
The GLOBE is Of the opirion that this cam
e6ixn is not contest with reference to the
nationality or otherwise OF Ireland It has
not the least reference to the expediency or
the reverse Of blowing up London with dyua-
mite. What is to be settled this time, is
simply, whether the administration shall con

CHOLERA.

If the cholera is spreading in Europe, as it
Is reported it is, it cannot be kept from our
shores. Its visit may be expected right
speedily. If it cannot be kept away, its fatili-
ty must be resisted by precautionary and pre-
ventive measures. The New York state Board
of Health is moving and proclaiming an adj
MONETARY warning of the impending danger.
1t considers the possibility and facilities for
the introduction of cholera into the country
too obvious to be disregarded. Once intro
duced here, 1t will be difficult, if not impos-
sble to arrest its spread. Timely prevent
i've measures before its arrival should be in
augurated.
The New York state Board of Health says ::
''Now, before the exotic infection has come,
let all local boards of health and all house
holders lose no time in enforcing such thor
ough scavenging and cleansing, such clean
ing of sewers, drains and bitches, and such
ventilating, drying, lime-washing, and dis
injecting of cellars and all damp and I'M
clean places, that if cholera comes its infect
i've germs shall find no soil or foul service in
which to propagate epidemically."
AL iOCdl w hCulttlt ftii HOuStuOiuCT5
and citizens should give heed to these i'm
portant suggestions. The premises of every
household should be rigidly and thoroughly
cleansed Neglect will be fatal, and where
there is gross, careless, or ignorant neg. ect,
renovation should be enforced by public au-
thority. Neglected premises not only ems
danger their own residents, but surrounding
neighborhoods.
The cholera germs find place in filth, in
foul air in impure drinking water, and to
neglect to guard against these is to the last
degree perilous. 1t may be regarded as
settled fact that the epidemic is sure to come
tothese shores. The telegraph may announce
any day its arrival Mt some of the sea-ports
No time should be lost in adopting prevent
i've measures everywhere to meet and ward
off, or mitigate rayages of the dreadful dis
ease.
No portion of the country is so remote
from sea-bound ports or river har5ors, or
railroad depots, as to be exempt from It's Wis
tation. Absolute cleanliness of streets, al
legs aud household premises, is the only eff
ective weapon we have to resist this dread
pestilence. Negligence now, in regard to
this is criminal.

themselves both incompetent and corrupt,
or be taken charge of by men who are be-
ieved to possess both ability and honesty. 1t
is not unnatural that Republicans should try
to distract the attention of the people from
this side, by pointing across the ocean, and
crying, Select Blaine if you wish Ireland to
be free and if you wish to disappoint our
hereditary enemy"
What the Democracy has need of is that the
this country should be free from the rascality
Of Republican domination and that the re-
suit should disappoint the hereditary enemy,
the party that has SO long, and OF late, so
disastrously controlled the Government.
The main thing to do is to elect man who
will enfranchise the enslaved of the United
States, after which we can attend to the
emancipating the down-trodden of the old
world. Let every voter in this country give
the time from now until November in efforts
to make this government free and honest
one, and then, when that is done there will
be an opportunity to establish free Govern
ments among the despotisms OF the rest OF
the universe.

WARD MURDER TRIALS.
All of the Remaining Cases Dismissed

Especial Telegram to the Globe.

GRAND FORKS, July 17.-When court assem-
bled to-day Assistant District Attorney Pratt
nollied the indictments in the twelve remaining
cases ON the docket for the murder of the Ward
boys.
District Attorney Ball said he regretted that
the situation was such as to almost compel this
course, but he concurred with his assistant. He
said the dismissal of the indictments was moved
with the full consent and at the suggestion of
DR.. Ward father of the deceased men. The ac-
quittal of Lair, whom Turpin swore killed Charles
Ward and Turpin's acknowledgment that he him
self killed Fred Ward, left the prosecution
powerless to convict the others.
The judge, in Diminishing the prosecutions on
motion of the prosecuting attorney, stated that
it was the failure of the jurors aud officers to do
their duty that necessitated this course. The
officers referred to believed to be the sheriffs
deputies and bailiffs.
The prisoners, on being discharged, announced
their intention of returning to- DEVILS Lake.
The juror, Holbrook, arrested for perjury, to-
day gave bail in $1,000 to appear at the next term
which will be the latter part of October or first
of November.

WHOLESOME FOREIGN P,


On the anniversary of the destruction Of
the Bastile, some French students, stimula
ted by memories of the Rhine and the fate Of
Alssce and Lorraine, tore down German
flag or two in Paris 1t does not appear that
the flags thus made to trail in the dust were
waving over any official place. They were
simply flung to the breeze in honor of the
day, as ON our Fourth of July, the flags of
other nations are often seen displayed in
company with the stars and stripes. The in
cident has made great stir. The German
authorities took note of it, and demanded an
apology. Minister Terry has very promptly
rendered his regret to the German EN- hassa-
dor and here the matter will pro baby end
for the present.
Should some drunken Englishrran have
torn down the German flag, instead OF some
French student, does anyone suppose that
there would have been any disturbance about
it. None in the least. The excitement fol-
lowing this little insignificant act demon
strates how strained are the relations of the
two countries. 1t is one of the developments
coincident with the hundreds of thousands
of troops, of armed troops, which the two
countries keep constantly in readiness, and
which indicate, that despite the surrender of
Alsace and the payment of the millions Of
indemnity, they are not at peace. Both are
ready for war at moments notice. 1t is
something of this condition of things that
certain politicians are anxious to introduce
Il this country.
We must be in condition to make war,
hat is to defend ourselves. To do it effect
lively there must be no half way measures.
To protect ourselves against Germany We
should be rs well prepared as that country,
or of what use a smaller navy or fewer sol
ders than the Germans could employ against
us.
When We see how delicate are the relations
of the two great European powers, and the
enormous armies which each keeps on a war
footing, we see what is meant by being pre-
pared for defence. This country, in place
of endeavoring to cultivate this method of
preventing war by armed preparation, should
use its influence to secure a general disarm-
ament.- This would be foreign policy
worth CARRYING out.

FIFTH DISTRICT DEMOCRATS.
Col. L. L. Baxter, of Fergus Falls,
Nominated Against Knute Nelson.


FERGUS FALLS, July 1S-The Fifth district
congressional convention met here to-day at p.
m. The counties represented were Polk, Clay,
st. Louis, Douglass, Todd, Stearns and Ottertail,
less than one third of the district. Of the coun-
ties represented only Polk and Ottertail had full
delegations.
The organization was perfected by the cleo
ton of II. B. Richardson, of Stearns, chairman,
aud Henry Dressler, of Ottertai secretary.
After appointing the usual committees recess
was taken for thirty minutes. Upon reconven-
ing and hearing reports of committees the con-
vention went into secret session.
1t was understood that they were to consider
the suggestion from high Democratic sources in
the state, that the convention make no nomina-
ton What took place in
secret session your correspondent does
rot known, but judged by'events the proposition,
if such one was made, was rejected. Anyway
upon opening the doors, Col L. L. Baxter, of this
city, was nominated by a delegate from Polk
county and his nomination was made by acclama-
ton. This, toe, after the colonel had told almost
every delegate present that he could not and
would not accept the nomination.
The nomination made, Col. Baxter was hunted
up and brought before the convention, when,
after protesting he ought not to have been nomi-
mated, he accepted in very neat speech. The
cheering, clapping of hands and yells
when he SAID this would nave done
credit to a convention of 500 delegates. 1t GER
tainly struck popular chord in the hearts of
the Democracy, who evidently propose to show
the rest of the state that there is Democratic
party in the Fifth district
The platform simply reafiirms fidelity to Dem
ocratic principles and endorses the platform and
nominees of the national convention. This
evening local clubs are enter taining visiting del
egates at their club rooms, and the best of feel
ing is exhibited. The party in this ''neck of
woods is receiving new convertsdaily.

WEST VIRGINIA.
Careful Inquiry Shows that the State
Will Go Democratic Sure.


WASHINGTON, July 17-Speakng of the re-
peated claims made by Steve Elkins in Chicago
during the national Republican convention, that
the electoral vote of West Virginia is sure to be
cast for Blaine, and repetition of these boasts
here, yesterday prominent newspaper CORE
spondent, who attended both the Republican and
Democratic convention, says that contact with
the people of West Virginia does not bear out this
statement The Baltimore s. Ohio newspaper
tram from Chicago on Monday last stopped at
various points in the long run of many miles
through West Virginia territory. The people
turned out in crowds to meet the train, showing
the utmost interest in the doings in the Demo-
cratic convention and evincing unbounded enthu-
siasm for the nominees A New York Journalist
who was provided with large quantity of small
photographic portraits Of Gov. Cleveland distribut
ed them with lavish hand at all principal points
at which stops were made, and there was scarce
" man in the crowds who did not pin picture
to his breast.
At one large town where there were probably
two hundred of the stalgart yeoman of West
Virginia congregated around the train, one OF
the passengers put this query: ssWhere are the
Blaine mens" Instantly came the response from
dozen different voices; "there are none here -
The remark was then made that it was claimed
Blaine would carry West Virginia, when a fine
manly fellow, who was in his shirt sleeves. sang
out, .sTbere is not enough money in the United
States treasury to do it, and ali the others ap-
plauded.
