THE LIEN LAW.

For years there has been GROWING in
the State 4 sentiment in favor Of the re-
peal OF the Lien Law. Many strong ar
gumcnts were advanced in the effort IN
repeal 1.-THE most potent Of which was
that the system Of credit fostcrcI by
tho Lien Law, produced extravaganza
and lndolcnco. 1t was further uwcd that
the law operated to dcmoralize labor
tor that any man could rent a little piece
OF land, and set up n farm for himself,
and thus labor could not be controlled.
Now if there he any force in these ar
suments, that force lay in the total re-
peal of tbs law, for only in this way
could the temptations to ex]trayaraDcc
and Incidence be removed. We ar.
frank to say we did not advocate it's re-
peal. But the present Legislature in
stead OF repeating the entire law, if it
touched it at all, has amended it by TAX
ing away the merchants lien and ret,iu-
ing the landlords lien for rent. Now
under this amended law, the landlord
may take q written lien and will have
the right to furnish supplies, and will
nave thrown around him none Of tho re-
straints of competition in prices tina,
are upon the merchant. Therefore the
danger Of extravaganza incident to the
credit system is not removed, and tho
laborcr and renter is delivered nounI
hand and foot into the hands OF his
landlord. Moreover the sya;I land
owner who may be forced to bag of the
merchant has no security TO offer except
a mortgage on his land. SO how is he
benefited by the effort to restrain his
extravaganza.
We do not like this new law. 1t "a
V"rs too much of monopoly, and is an
interference with the freedom of action
of the people.

THE LEGISLATURES

Of that body.
We were much impressed with it's
~personcllc. In the House there are =
number of brainy Young rlcn who give
promise Of being useful and successful
members. Indeed the remark was com.
non that it is the strongest body that
has been elected since rs, and we
heartily concur in it. As = general rule
its Legislation has been conservative and
wise and there has been nothing radical
in its actions.
Abbcville's delegation is n good one.
and ranks well. lis force il felt on ali

ly on tho Judgment and wisdom Of it,

sion we compliment them on their work,
and welcome them home for Xmas.

EnITORIAL NOTES

The friends of tho University may
well felicitate themselves upon the re-
suit in the Legislature Of the vote on
tho question Of the appropriation for
the colleges. In the House it was
about 80 to %, and in the Senate about
20 to 8. Not indeed that there was
any danger that the representatives
would do so foolish a thing as to close
the doors Of the college, but because
that in spite Of the opposition Of some,
and the specious and plausible if un-
sound argument Of others, the Legisla-
ture has by this overwhelming vote set
its seal Of approval upon this institution.

Especial Correspondence Of the Globe

ORGANIZATION, Oct. ia r0using poIit-
in the church. The meeting was addressed
by the Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, candidate
for congress from this district. He spoke
for over two hours, his remarks receiving
repeated applause. The church was filed
completely. This being rural town of small
size the meeting was made up mostly Of
farmers, some coming a great distance,
showing conciusively that the farmers are in
favor of supporting this fall a man for con-
gress of their own class instead OF banker
and monopolist. This town for several years
and in fact always has been strongly Repu5-
lican, but this year, notwithstanding the most
of them will still be steadfast to the head OF
the ticket, large majority of them are going
to vote for Mr.. Donnelly. 1t is said Mr..
Donnelly will receive all of the Democratic
vote, ali of the Green back vote, and as said

City yesterday on his way TO fill an engage
ment at Kingston, the citizens extended an
invitation to him to speak at Forest City at

and this forenoon be spoke to a large and
enthusiastic crowd Of farmers who left their
work aud came to hear him. The citizens
all closed their stores and turned out also TO
hear him. The simple fact tiat farmers viii
drop all work and business men close up
their places of business goes to show that
Mr. Donnelly is their choice to unit as their
next congressman from this district, The

nelly will get large majority in their town

BROTHER ARTHUR is promoting the cause
Of Candidate Blaine, over the left, as il were,
in making the lively Mr.. Hatton Postmaster
General. In addition to his public duties,
General Hatton in his private capacity has
been the editor of two newspapers, ''both
daily" With the fearlessness of the truly
good editor he has declared repeatedly that
This country will nar submit to have
fastened upon it that which lie represented in
the word B.aineism." Aud so say we all OF
US. As a newspaper man Mr.. Hatton had
an opportunity to study Blaile, and at the
time the Irish hating lingo had inserted his
leech-like fangs upon Garfeld's cabinet,
Hatton said of him:
''Driven from the house by a threatened inves-
tigatIon, he succeeded in gaining place in the
senate, only TO find himself dwarf and a nom
entity, glad 20 escape and 10 seek shelter under
the cloak of the man who had carried of the prize
that he had twice contested for, and while thus
sheltered he seeks to stab tue man about whose
form he clings that he may not be entirely lost 10
public view, and, with revenge eating at his
heart, he aims 10 assassinate the party that re-
fused in It's wisdom TO make him its leader. When
he has traficked away the patronage of the state
department as be did his power speaker, he
will become political tramp, and any party that
will embrace him can get him.
That is a terrible indictment, and its power
is its truth. But if Blaine could be elected
how he would glut himself upon its author.

"WE MEAN TO CARRY oHIo.D

The Democracy of Ohio has issued an ad-
dress to the friends of Honest government,
which is given in another column of this is
sue of the GLOBE. 1t is clear, clean state
! ment of the infamous frauds engineered by
Blaine, which gave him an apparent major
ity on the 18th of October. No patriotic
| man, no Democrat good and true, can read
the statement put forth by the Ohio commit
tee without being thrilled with indignation
at the deeds it recites. A more corrupt and
infamous gang of conspirators were never
grouped together in this or any other coun-
try than the gang which Blaine brought with
him to Ohio, and whose outrageous opera
tons he superintendent in person.
Faithful Democrats, and all friends of
Clean politics and Honest government should
send greeting to lallant and undismayed
Ohio Democracy, who have resolved to stand
by their guns, and believe they can carry the
state for Cleveland and Hendricks on the

The electoral vote of Ohio is important,
