AUOMoLY OE POLITICS.


The political antics and incon sistiencies
traordinary and remarkable character. How
Dana can maintain any position, or respect:
or confidence, or exert any influence in any
party, or even outside of any party is GER
tainly one of the anomalies and curosities Of
American politics. Bold, audacious, reck-
less and dashing, the Sun antagonists to-day
what it supported yesterday, and eulogises
in one hour, the man that it denounced in
the previous one. In July the Sun sup
ported the Democracy, to-day it is exerting
all its power to defeat the national candidate
of that party.
But "a few weeks ago, it eulogzied Cover
nor Cleveland, as a man Of ability and execu-
tive force, and now it denounces him as an
ignoramus, weak and incompetent. With
bitter invective it has assailed Mr.. Blaine in
the past, and now is believed to be conniving
at his election, in the guise of supporting But
Ter for the Presidency. The Sun to-day be-
spatters Butler with lusty praise, as a man of
power, and probity character, and worthy
of the sufferages of the American people for
the Presidency. And, yet, when Butler was
running for Governor of Massachusetts,. the
first time, the Sun photographed him in the
following trenchant and anciful style.
"Hated by some, condemned by many and dis
trusted by all, this bad man with his crooked
ways, foul methods, distorted mind and wicked
heart, glories in these moral deformities hannts

WILBUR r. STOREY.

SINCE DEAN SWIFT there has been no sad
der instance of mental decay than Wilbur
F. Storey of the Chicago Times. To those who
remember the man in his powerful prime he
had ''as fierce beak and talon as ever struck
as strong wing as ever beat" and to
them the night of imbeciity which has come
upon him is vastly more melancholy than
out and out death. When Mr.. Storey bought
the Times from Cyrus Mccormick he had
been deceived as to the money and influence
supposed to be in it at the time and he told
the writer that when he found he had sold a
live paper the Detroit Free Press, and pur-
chased dead one, he felt like putting a pis-
to! to his head, for it seemed as if only igno-
minious failure awaited his Chicago journal
istic venture. The paper he bought had but
one idea, the glorification of Douglas, and
the fortunes Of the Illinois senator were its
platform. To man of Mr.. Storey's mental
temperament, such journalistic inspiration
and management were impossible. He was
constitutionally fearless, and absolutely in
dependent. In the world of politicians, he
gagged their brains, and weighed their prin-
ciples with a calm cynicism which was ex-
pressed in the very perfection of curtincisive
wording.
He desired nothing at the hands OF men
in place and power. He felt himself to be
above the trucking circuit of that sort OF pa
tronage. He reversed the conditions, and
made them feel that his was power trans
eendent to any they could exert in his be-
half, and that in reality as they could do

about them.
Poor and hampered or opulent and power
full Wilbur F. Storey had always self-suffic-
ing potentialitly, which eventually took
| deep hold on the public mind, and stamped
itself on his paper until it became the power
of the Western press.
No suspicion of personal dishonesty or
professional corruption has ever weakened
public belief in him, and while he has been
defiant of public opinion he made no profess
sion of catering to it, or of being influenced
by it. ''Swift must be allowed" says DR..
Johnson ''for time to have directed the po-
litieal opinion Of the English nation" This
sounds strangely TO US now, but if the same
cannot be said of Mr.. Storey's influence on
the politics of the West, it may be claimed
that the people had the curiosity or partisan
ship of always wanting to read the Times,
and the impetus of widespread preference
gave the paper its redoutable standing in
spite of everything. And all this profitable
eminence was achieved by the irrepressiblt
individuality of one man, PRESIDENT of the
momentous tide of Shakspearean incubation
as leading to fame and fortune at the oppor
tune juncture. IT'S this mysterious indiyid
uality which has served the Times during the
interval, when the bright and potent brair
which made it was passing into.total eclipse

Habeas Corpus and Reduction of Bail
Denied,

o. R. Clark, held in 1900 bail and COM
mitted to Jail in default of the same, for the
larceny of 1928 from the Lindeke, Warner &
Schurmeir establishment, where he was a
trusted salesman, was arraigned before
Brill yesterday afternoon on writ of habeas
corpus sworn out by his attorney, j. Duncan
Cottrell, of Minneapolis, County Attorney
Eagan appearing for the state. The argu-
ment made for his release from custody was
that the warrant under which he was arrested
and tried charged both embezzlement and
larceny, that the former crime had
not been committed, and as he
was only guilty of larceny that he could
not be held on his commitment to jail,
which stated that he was so committed for
''embezzlement." Judge Brill held that the
warrant and commitment would hold, citing
the statutes to show that by virtue of the
prisoners employment, the crime committed
was that of embezzlement of goods in COM
mon law. An application was then made to
reduce Clark's bail from $1,000 to $500,
which was also refused.

COmDellinp a Settlement.

Judge Simons filed a decision in the case
of Edward Walther VS.. Alexander Adams ct
al, yesterday. E. Walther entered into a
copartnership October 1862 for the manufac-
ture of iron and steel castings, the firm
reading Adams, Rothwell & Co. Each part
ner was to furnish 81, 900 to the capital stock
of the company, share alike in the profits,
devote his whole time to said business and
receive 500 a month as wages. The bust
ness was carried on from October to
December, 1882, and dissolved and no ac-
counting was made until the
time of commencing this action
the property remaining in the
hands of the defendants. Plaintiff put into
the business 81, 500 and defendants S14,.
1888. They purchased together $1,000
worth of real estate, paying 90, 500 down and
executing notes for the $4,000 balance. On
the 10th of December, when it dissolved, the
total property of the firm was s23, 11S. so, and
its liabilities IS, 94S.S3. Judge Simons ad-
judged that a receiver be appointed to ap-
praise the property at the time of the disso-
luton, December 10, 1882, with power to
take it into his possession, collect debts, sell
all the real and personal property under the
direction of the court, and out
of the proceeds to pay all
debts and bring the remainder
into court to be distributed among the part
ners according to their respective rights and
interests. If the parties fail to agree to the
terms of this judgment the matter is to be
settled by receiver appointed by the court.

ARASCALLY COYSPIRAoY.

A small crowd of Minneapolis Republican
mugwumps have been sitting in solemn
judgment upon the Republican candidate for
Congress in the Fourth district. Having re-
solved themselves into a star-chamber con-
clave with power to sit with closed doors and
send for persons and papers, this high-iinks
squad have arraigned Mr.. Gilillian for hav
ing, prior to the session of the immortal
nominating convention, allowed somebody
to speak to him about being candidate for
Congress. This, in Gillian, is charged
to be high crime and mis-
demeanor. The Fletcher organ at
Minneapolis covers broadside with an al
legged report of the high and mighty investi-
cation, which all summed up simply shows
that Gilfllan was logged and beset, front,
flank and rear, teased and worried for fear
he might be a candidate, and thus interfere
with the conspiracy of office-seekers, which,
in parceling but the offices in Minnesota, had
allotted the Congressional place to Fletcher.
Gilfllan's crime is that he would not be dog
ged off. If there ever was desperate, con-
temptible canvass made to capture nomina-
ton, depriving honest and decent people of
their fair rights than the canvass made
in behalf of this man Fletcher
it has not transpired before on
Minnesota soil. If Gilfllan were capable
of diving deeper and coming out dirtier than
the enemies and greedy gang that are hound
ing him he ought to be defeated ten thousand
times. Behind all this scheming to drive
Gilfillan off the track, may be seen the fine
Italian hand of Fletcher. But the high jinks
crowd are barking up the wrong tree. Gill
fillan is not the man TO be crowded off the
track by these marplots, He is there to
stick, win orlose, and whoever itmay concern
may make the most of that. Whatever faults
Gilillan may have he is cleaner man than
any of the gang that are trying to rob him of
his candidacy.

his knowledge of busin ess, and his knowledge
of polite life and literature largely assisted
his journalistic power, there was magic
a. knowledge in the selection of his edi-
tiorial associates which served him while he
knew anything of his paper, and has sus-
tanned its prestige since.
Cruel and perverse as Mr.. Storey could
sometimes be in his judgment, and absolute
ly venomOus in the expression of his resent
ment, he was nevertheless of a kindly nature
and of many generous qualities. In him
was the completeness of the gentlemen, as
well as the completeness of the journalist.
The elegance, sympathy, and delica-
cy he could show upon occasion
we're emphasized by constitution
al hG'aear which was repellent of any expec-
tation of such qualities. His appearance
was of high bred distinction, and his dress
was invariably elegant and quiet. His
manners were courtly, and no man of any
rank in all the world surpassed him as a
host Why with all these attributes he chose
to be what Chicago at once feared and was
proud offs question.
He was undeniably great in the way that
Swift was great, and perhaps the parallel
holds good in other ways that We're not
great.
One thing is certain that were Mr.. Storey
given his choice now between the darkening
twilight of his mind, and the pitiful come
down of Mr.. Murat Halstead at the paltry
campaign work on one-cent evening pa
per in New York, he would prefer to stay
as he is.
Mr.. Halstead's case is the more sorry OF
the two, for he sacrificed foremost place
in Western journalism, and a natioual rep
utation to run an insignificant newspaper,
with funds said to be given by the Republic
an National committee. His imbecility is al
least voluntary

FROM HONESTY TO DISHONESTY


1.-The Republican party, during its legal. its
stolen and its bought tenurer of power, has
steadily decayed in its moral character and po-
litical capacity
This is a self evident assertion, and few
there be who will take issue with the Chi
Gag Democratic platform, which first gave it
utterance. We must Judge the party by those
who lead or control it, and yet this is unfair
to many pure and good men who have
hitherto been in political sympathy with it.
From the health giving prairies of Mime
sofa to the death dealing pestilences of the
swamps of southern India; from greatness
to mediocrity, from honesty to corruption
and fraud, from heaven to hell, are no
greater transformations than from the good
and great Lincoln, to the Insignificant Ruth
erford B. Hayes. And now it is proposed to
decend still lower, if possible, and get under
the leadership of James G. Blaine. Just
think of the terrible descent from Lincoln to
Blaine-from Honesty to Dishonesty.
Is it not strange that Blaine's organs
never urge his election because of his hon.
esty, but because of his great ability. The
people of the United States want honesty
more than ability in the presidential chair,
but they can have both by the election of
Cleveland.
Blaine is man of unquestioned ability to
ferret out all the avenues by which his
own foul nest may be feathered, and he will
not be slow to prove himself anything but a
''deadhead'' in all enterprises which will
| place money in his pocket. What fall ii
would be from Lincoln to Blainel Are there
any words necessary to show that the party has
steadily decayed in moral capacity, beyond
| the simple assertion. from Lindoln to Blaine!
1t is an encouraging thought that the pure
men of the party do not intend to follow its
fortunes under Blaine, but viii unite with
the Democrats in wrestling the country from
the control of the piratical crew now in pos
session of it. A change is demanded.
The Republican party so far as principle is
concerned is "reminiscences. In practice it is
| an organization for enriching those who con-
troll its machinery. The frauds and robbery
which have been brought to light in every
department of the government are sufficient
to have called for reform within the party
pet those in authority, made reckless by the
long possession Of power, have succumbet
to its corrupting influence, and haze placed

RaymOnd's Goose Cooked.
Especial Telegram to the Globe /

FARGO, Oak, Sept. S.-A gentleman who
has been through south Dakota, reports that
Raymond has no following there. Even his
postmaster appointees are not with him. A
private letter from an old time leader, in the
Black Hills, SAYS over half the delegation
from there is for Gen. Allen. There is moth
ing for Raymond here in Cass county
Sheriff Haggart is already seeking a sub
stitute to carry his proxy to Pierre. He will
not go himself. One reason assigned is he
dare not leave home now for
fear of his own defeat for sheriff,
which place he has held ever since the or
ganization of the county. Another rea-
son is, Mr.. Haggart sees the handwriting on
the wall, and beholding Raymond's sure de-
feat, he does not want to be found dead with
the corpse. Raymond will not have to ex-
coed sixty delegates from North Dakota out
of possible 135. Major Edwards predicts
that Raymond's name will not go before the
convention. Wherever it is possible Ray
mond's ofice-holding henchmen have Sc
lected boiling delegations to Pierre to try
and neutralize the regularly elected anti
Raymond delegates selected. But his goose
is cooked.

Mr.. BLAINE as all are aware is a rank Pro
hibitionist though not voting with that party
as Neal Dow is not. Gov. st. John, the
Prohibition candidate for President regards
Gen. Logan as Prohibitionst in sympathy
and says he expects he will soon be found in
the Prohibition ranks. The Governor made
the acquaintance of Logan under peculiar
circumstances. Twenty years ago he was
indicted under the Illinois black laws of
which Logan was the especial champion and
earned his distinction as Dirty Work Logan.
The indictment found against Gov. st. John
was for the crime of giving food to negro
Abiding to this matter. in public speech in
Chicago Gov. st. John remarked that under
the laws of Illinois as now existing he ''could
not be indicted for feeding dog" "a not
very complimentary allusion to the negro
''and yet" said he, ''the John A. Logan of
twenty-five years ago is to-day the candidate
for Vice-President on the Republican ticket.
After he had the black law passed he changed,
as men will change, and fought against the
cause he had espoused. l wish to cast no re-

DISHONEST GOTERYMENT.

Republican orators are, on all occasions,
sure to make use of this argument. ''When
we came into power our treasury was empty;
now we have a surplus of four hundred mil
lious-under such circumstances do you

lows, they wish to convey the idea that by
superior financial management the party has

people groan under the burdens of grievous

are hard. Turn the Rascals out and reduce
taxation and the people will be happy and
