The Enlisted Man.

A strange spirit of comradsship.exists
among sailors. and instances are COM
mon Of whole crews being punished by
irks0me restrictions because they re-
fused TO denounce some rogue or rogues
who had, in mood of contempt or pet
ty spite, mutilated gun tackles or the
rigging, thrown arms overheard, or
been otherwise guilty of some criminal
proceeding. To protect the service a.
gainst the re-admission of such persons
only one course is open the placing of
q tiny but indelible mark upon their
persons in such spot as would be no
ticed only by the examining medical Off
Ger. Until this be done there will be
no protection in this regard. A worth
less character discharged in New York
Harbor goes to the receiving ship to
enlist. Failing there he tramps to Bos-
ton or some other station where men
are wanted, and, under the fostering
care of some land shark, is properly
scrubbed, dressed, and shaved, and be-
ing naturally of good physique and pos
sessing the intelligence necessary to
make so capable villain, he passes a
satisfactory examination. and is soon
borne again upon the books of the Gov
ernment. If it be known that the cat
has been re-established in the navy for
extreme cases it is firmly believed that
a marked improvement will at once be
noticed in the punishment books
throughout the service, and also that
its use would be extremely rare and
never undeServed. 1t has been remark
ed that the man-o'war's man is well
fed, and, speaking generally, this is
true. The ration is so generous that in
each of the small messes into which a
crew is divided certain humber OF
rations are commuted, the canterer of
each mess receiving the money in lieu.
This, with 81 or So apiece monthly,
goes to the purchase of bread, (''hard
tack" being furnished with the ration,
fruit, etc., when in port, and supplying
sea stores when preparing for cruise
The men however, frequently complain
of the quality of the ration both at sea
and in port, and withsmuch reason. BY
the trlckery of dealers and carelessnes:
of some purchasing paymaster much
worthless trash is foisted upon the ser
vice, and so constant are the require
ments for surveying portions Of the
ration that are unfit for issue thai OF
every man-o'-war certain number OF
officers are appointed board of survey
for three months at time. The price
paid for the articles should have rnsur
ed the quality, and the blame for th'
useless waste should be placed wher
it belongs. The sum total of the value
of articles OF foodsannually condemned
to be thrown overheard would, if made
public, be appalling.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 1S.-LOcal politicians
are preparing for the fall campaign, which
promises TO be one of the most exciting in
the history of the state. The opponents of

Independent Democrats, will make
desperate effort To dethrune
the chairman of the Democratic

hostile feelings, they have agreed TO settle
their difference within the party lines. and

Observation-Disclosures.

The attitude of PoUNDMAKER before the
court was i'm bright contrast with that of
RIEL. There was no cringing cowardice
or assumed insanity. lie faced his enemies
like man of true courage and like one
conscious of his rectitude. When asked il
he had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced, the proud chief
tain asserted his manhood in words of
touching eloquence, and, with a sarcasm
that must have withered his prosecutors.
told them that he was their prisoner be-
cause he had chosen to surrender himself.
and they now had the power to do with
him as they pleased. PoUNDMAKER's
splendid bearing yesterday will enlist the
sympathies of the civilized world in his be-
half. His appeal TO be shot or hung rather
than to be subjected to the humiliation of
convict life evinced the manly nature of the
savage half-breed. To imprison him in the
penitentiary after that appeal would be an
everlasting disgrace to the Dominion gov
eminent, and would elevate the half-breed
chief to the place of heroic martyrdom.

DAKOTA DFNOCRATs.

Elsewhere in this mornings GLOBE will
be found call issued by prominent
Dakota Democrats for a convention TO be
held at Aberdeen on the 22d of September
for the purpose of considering and deter
mining a plan for the organization of the
Democratic party in the territory. 1t occurs
10 us that the movement is timely and
proper. There ought to be thorough or
ganization among the Democrats of Dakota.
The party should be in a condition TO make
itself felt in the affairs of the territory.
which can only be accomplished by united
action and systematic organization. II is
important that the voice of the party should
be heard on the questions of admission and
division. There should be entire accord be-
tween the administration and the Democrats
of the territory i'm affairs relating to the
territorial government. 1t is 10 be hoped
that there will be a full attendance of rep
resentatiye Democrats from every county in
the territory at the Aberdeen convention,
and that its proceedings will be wise and
harmonious.

CANADA,s WHITE ELEPHANT.

REL is growing elephant on the hands
OF the Canadian government He continues
to magnify as an unmanageabIe faction i'm
Canadian matters. The Sir JONI MAcDoN-
AID government would be relieved of a
great embarrassment if RIEL should manage
TO escape and like a bird flee to some noun
tain where he would never be heard of
again. The most intense feeling prevails
among the Canadians-thOSe of French
origin sympathizing with the convicted
rebel, and the EngliSh-Speaking classes
clamoring for his blood. \ great Outcry
has been raised against Gen. MIDDLETON
because he permitted his soldiers to plumber
the homes of the half-breeds I'm the North
western territory. Father ANDRES letter
has created great sensation and given rise
TO grave comments. The leading French
newspaper of Quebec SAYS editOrially:' On

of the civic authorities to arrest and trytien.

and must act as very serious check upon
commercial prosperity. AS Mr.. COCHRAN
said, there is no rivalry between the twin
cities in relation TO this matter. 1t is some
thing in which they have Joint interest
So far as developments have been made,
there are only two apparent causes at work
TO defeat the Northern Pacific road in its
effort TO build its line. One is the appre-
hensiOn on the part of the university re-
gents that the new line. if built, will pass
near enough to the observatory at the uni
versity TO be an interference. The other
cause is that which naturally arises from
the interests of rival road. As regards
the latter objection, as matter of course
its influences are not to be weighed in an
adjustment of this matter before board
of officials representing the state,
In relation to the interference with the OBJ
servatory, it would be better for the public
that it should be removed to some other
point rather than the public interests should
suffer by reason of its present location. 1t
is not believed, however, that even a re-
moval of the observatory would be necessary
in case the Northern Pacific built its line
1t is also unfortunate that the board of
university regents deems it advisable to hold
star chamber proceedings. The university
is public institution and there is no single
apparent reason why the meetings of the
regents should be conducted i'm private,
while there is every reason that they should
be open. As long as the university belongs
to the state the people of the state have the
right to expect that everything pertaining
to its government shall be open TO pub
lie scrutiny. The university is in
no sense a close corporation, nor have
the regents the right to make it so. 1t
would have been more satisfactory to the
people of Minnesota If the regents had held
their meeting yesterday with open doors
and had allowed the public to hear the dis
cussiOn among themselves, and the reasons
assigned by the individual members of the
board for the conclusion at which they ar
rived. As the matter now stands the judg-
ment of the board of regents is in opposi-
ton to public opinion, as it is antagonistic
to the commercial interests of the two lead
ing cities of the state. Fortunately, how
ever, the members have their well-estab-
lished reputation for probity and integrity
of character to shield them from the sus-
picion that the Manitoba road has had
undue influence in the determination of this
matter.

the house OF Hanover. With the existence
in America of genuine and wide-awake heirs

be wondered at that Queen VICTORIA

track had been, as she thought, effectually
torn up in the rear of the living representa-

That the queen suffered some cOmpunctiOns

IOWA DEMOCRATS.

The large attendance of delegates at the
Iowa Democratic state convention at
Cedar Rapids to-day shows that the Dem
ocracy of that state is in good fighting trim
and is coming up to the battle with ex-
pectations Of victory. The special dis
patches to the GLOBE last night indicate
that the fusion plan will succeed. The
personal influence of Gen. WEAVER has
contributed TO bring it into favor with the
delegates. The party is united on the
question of high license in opposition to the
prohibition policy of the Republicans. 1t
is going to be hard-fought battle in Iowa
this year, and it is encouraging to see the
Democratic hosts presenting solid column
and marching to the fray with exultant
hopes. We expect to have a good account
from the Iowa Democrats.
