GLIDER AND THE POJE

Col. GLIDER seems at last to have taken
fair start in his long journey to the orth
pole, and while there are doubtless hum
dredS of perils to be encountered in his
lonesome northward trip, there is still a
reasonable chance for success. The ven
tursome colonel is experienced in Arctic
travel and has equipped himself to meet
every possible contingency. His route.
too, involves the minimum of danger with
the maximum probability of success.
Pushing directly north from Winnipeg he
will for hundreds of miles expe-
rience no difficulty, but will, on the
contrary, be assisted by the existence
of fur-trading stations and hunting camps.
AS he passes farther North and these ey1-
dences of civilization disappear, he will en-
counter Esqdimaux, a people whose Ian
guage and manners he thoroughly under
stands. By their aid he expects to travel
onward, subsisting on the game killed by
the way and upon the food left in caches by
previous explorers until the pole is reached.
He thus avoids the dangerous sea voyages

THE OBSERVATORY.

observatory or parlor extending its entira
width. 1t is furnished with two reclining
chairs. four elegant easy chairs of willow
and a large sofa covered with green en-
bOssed leather. From the center of the
ceiling depends highly ornamental chan
delier with cut-glass globes. Electric bells
connect with the quarters of the head pOr-
ter. A glass door leads out to the platform,
which is covered over with a Ringing floor,
and on either side of it are plate-glass
windows extending down to the level of the
floor. The hangings throughout are of silk
tapestry.
The dining-room OF the car is admirably
arranged. It is situated a trifle forward Of
''amidships'' and is lighted and ventilated
to perfection. A handsome buffet orna-
ments the upper side of the room and tho
table, when not in use. can be closed and
slowed aWav in it. AS many as eight
diners can be accommodated at a sitting.
On either side of the room are two carved
panels. fitted with plate-glaSs mirrors,
which are so arranged that in cases of ne
cessity they may be unfolded and trans
formed into double or single sleeping berths.
In this manner eight persons may be &C.
cOmmodated with sleeping apartments.
The eosiest and prettiest little room in the
entire car, however, is the private
bedroom, which was given up to
MI. and Mrs. Cleveland during the

The arkansas Election.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 6.-Returns
from the election are beginning to come in
from counties having railway and telegraph
facilities. A very large vote has been
polled and it will be several days before
definite fgnres can be given. The Demo
cratic state ticket has been elected by an
estimated majority of 10000. and the
Democrats have also elected a majority
of members of the legislature The Re-
publicans claim Jefferson, Deshaw, Chicot,
Phillips and Lafayette counties. while the
Wheelers have elected several legislative
candidates. The result in this (PulaskD
county is doubtful at this writing, with
chances in favor of the Democratic ticket.
The Prohibitionists appear to have polled
a larger vote against licensing saloons than
they did in 1882, when the vote stood 49,
246 for license to 40, 3S7 against.

WHEAT AND SILVER.

Elsewhere in to-day's GLOBE will be
found an interesting interview with MORE
TON FREwEN, al English gentleman who
has devoted much study to the silver prob
lem and whose opinions are accepted as
authority in all parts of the world. MI.
FREwEN has not only gained a reputation
as a student of finance, but he is well known
as a prominent English farmer who is
thoroughly familiar with all the needs of
agriculture. Consequently his opinions are
of special value to the people of Minnesota.
who are deeply Interested in the discu ssion
of the relations that exist between the
price Of wheat and the coinage of silver.
He demonstrates with wonderful cIearness
tina. as long as silver is deprecated so long
will the prices of wheat and cotton decline
If our two principal agricultural products
are thus affected by the depreciation of
silver, it follows logically that the silver
proplem is essentially farmers question.
and it is perfectly apparent that it is to the
interest of American farmers to continue
the coinage of silver. So far as wheat is
concerned, the more silver that is coined
the more the price will be advanced.

THEY HAVE SAID IT.

The usually impetuous and genial Mayor
AMEs has had his say about the usually
level-headed and imperturbable MI. DORIAN,
and the usually level-headed and imper-
turbable Mr.. DoRAN has likewise had his
say about the usually impetuous and genial
Mayor AMEs. The GLOBE being the news
paper par excellence of the Northwest, has
published for the infor nation of its readers
the says of both of these distinguished gen
tlemen, and has done so without the slight
est feeling in the matter toward either of
them. The GLOBES Democracy is based
on principle, aud consequently is nobody's
partisan. The GLOBE is NEWSPAPER
and always gives the news accurately and
impartially. Now that the usually impetu-
Gus and genial Mayor AafEs and the
usually level and imperturbable Mr..
DoRAN have each had their say about the
other, the GLOBES advice to them is to
kiss and make up. This is no time for per-
sonal quarrels in the Democratic ranks.
The place for every loyal and sincere DEM
ocrat is with his shoulder to the wheel, no
matter who may occupy the box.

which have proven the destruction Of other
expeditions, and performs his journey,
unless he should find an open polar sea
around the pole, wholly on land.
Col. GILDER's effort has at least
one merit. He does not involve a large
number of others in the dangers into which
he is rushing. But one companion. beside
the natives. accompanies him, and as these
two men are perfectly willing to take their
lives in their hands. the world can but ad-
mire their courage and wish them good
luck. Col. GLIDER is, besides, a newspaper
man. and it is in the pursuance OF his pro-
fession that ne goes on the three years trip
which may end in glory which will likely
end In death. Still if the pole is to be dis
covered at all, it will probably remain for
newspaper man, since all others have failed,
to find it, and GLIDER may be that man. At
all events the trip will afford the gallant
colonel release from the loving but unwel-
come attentions of the young woman who
recently made it so warm for him i'll New

THEY ARE PROTESTING.

AS a matter of news the GLOBE publishes
this morning the complaints and protests
of number of Democrats who represent
the defeated factional elements in yester-
days primaries 1t is matter of regret
that the result of the primaries is not ac-
eepted with better grace by the gentlemen
who led the minority. The history of
political primaries does not prepare one to
expect milenal time when he goes into a
fight of this kind. Somebody is bound to
get left. Both of the opposing sides cannot
win at the same time. Nor is there any
use in crying over split milk. The best
way to take defeat is to take it philosophi-
cally.

A SEAWARD SLIP.

That is what Prof. MCGEE, of the United
States geological survey, calls the recent
earthquake. Prof. MCGEE has been at
Charleston ever since the earthquake, and
has been making scientific inquiry into
its causes. He says that it is simply sea-
ward slip, or a movement of the coastal
plain toward the sea. He explains that the
region east of the Appalachian range is di-
vided into two portions. The granite FORM
alton Is called the Piedmont eScarpment
and extends from the mountains about half
way to the sea. The region east of that is
made up of fragmental rock. and is called
the coastal plain. His theory is that. as a
hundred miles Oh so out at sea there is a
sharp depression, the tendency of the coastal
plain is toward that depression.

RELIEF FOR CHARLESTON,

There has been no eXaggeration OF the
reports of the damage done by the earth
quake at Charleston. Visitors to the city
say that no real conception of the ruin and
suffering can be formed from reading the
press accounts of the horrible disaster. 1t
IS one of those awful scenes that must be
witnessed to realize its horror. At the
same time we have learned enough of its
details to know that the destruction of
property has been immense, running away
I'D into the millions, with all the possibili-
ties that if may double the present estimate.
Even if the earthquake shocks should abate
there is yet before the stricken city the
prospect of still more dire results from the
eouinOctial storms, which are always Sc
we're in that locality, and if they should
break over Charleston this season with
their usual severity, will sweep the
city from its unsteady foundations
and level it to the ground. But the mere
destruction of property is not the worst
form of the calamity. The sad condition
of the thousands and tens of thousands of
homeless people appeal to our sympathies
and to our charitable impulses. Our ears
cannot be deaf to the voice of grief which
rises from the stricken Southern city. The
people of noble and generous impulses
who live here in the North Star state of
the Union cannot be Indifferent spectators
to the scenes of want and suffering that
are of daily occurrence in the streets of the
Palmetto metropolis. There are thousands
of people of all classes and conditions
men and women and children, the high and
the lowly, the white and the black, the
descendants of the Cavalier and the dusky
sons of Africa-all huddled togetherin one
common mass on the public square, and all
of them homeless and breadleSS. Is not
such a scene calculated to touch the hard
est heart, and to melt it to tender
ness. At this distance from the scene
of suffering we may not be so fully i'm
pressed with its horrible conditions, and
our sympathies. so thoroughly aroused, are
with those who live in the immediate
vicinity. But we are not so far away as to
forget that these suffering people are our
countrymen and countrywomen. They are
American citizens and are in distress, and
that is enough to awaken every generous
sentiment of our natures. Their distress is
a pressing one and demands immediate
relief. In view of this fact the GLOBE
announces that it will receive subscriptions
for the relief of the Charleston sufferers,
and will acknowledge all contributions
through its columns, and will guarantee
that the amounts contributed will be
promptly forwarded to the persons or COM
mittees who are authorized to receive ard
diSburse funds for the benefit of the
sufferers

ming within very few days. He says that
the secretary has improved very much during
his stay at Watch Hill Mr.. Manning, accord
ing to his story, looks as well in the face as
ever. The only outward sign of his illness is
in his slightly dragging his left foot as he
walks. This inhrmity is permanent, and is
an incidental to all paralytic attacks. ''Will
Mr.. Manning return to the treasury" Mr..
Smith was asked. He replied that the matter
was by no means settled. 1t is probable that
MIR. Manning will try the experiment of going
back for time at least, but if he feels any
i'll effects he will retire promptly. In antici-
patton of his return it is no arranged at the
treasury to take oil the routine work from his
hands so that he will have nothing but the
politics of the department to look after. 1t
is possible that it might bother Mr.. Manning
to supervise the politics of thirty-eight states.
At the time of his breakdown he was the
father-confessor for all of the troubles of the
dissatisfied members of the party. 1t is
settled that if Mr.. Manning does go out Mr..
Fairchild, the present acting secretary, will
take his place.

ship-shape as a bridal chamber on an ocean
steamer, and reminds one of such an apart
ment at first sight. 1t is less than twenty
feet long and just wide enough to admit a
bright brass bedstead crosswise at its lower
end. The curtains and drapery are of the
finest silk, and the furniture is upholstered
to match. The walls are polished panels
of mahogany. The doorway is at the upper
end of passageway leading from the din
ing-room to the observatory. A private
bath and toilet-room are connected with
the apartment. The extreme upper end of
the car, which in travelling would come
next to the engine or baggage car. is used
as kitchen and contains range and all
the utensils for cooking. Between it and
the dining-room are the servants quarters.
All in all. this private car is one of the
hondsomest specimens of rolling stock in
this or any other country.

Ell COYOTE.
The Mexican Desperate Seen on the
American Side nf HE sxnrder.

NEW LAREDO, Mexico, Sept. Cit is
reported from Laredo, Tex, that Ell Coyote
was seen in that city last night and the
report is confirmed by reliable par
ties who are personally acquainted
with him. This morning about forty
cavalrymen came in from Lampasas
and later another body of men came in
from down the river. The party of police
and guards came in this afternoon and
brought with them the body of one Of their
comrades, Louis Garcia. who was literally
rddled with bullets during their late en-
gagement with El Coyote. The total
casualties as far as known are two killed
and one wounded of the police and guards,
and one wounded of the rev0lutionists. A
courier arrived here this afternoon who
stated that body of thirty men passed
Lajaritta this morning en- route to join Ell
Coyotes band at that point. They appro-
priated four horses. The guards and police
who came in acknowledge that had not
some of them been related to members of
Ell Coyotes band many of them would have
been killed, as they were completely in the
power of the insurgents, who had them
surrounded

YESTERDAYS PRIMARIES,

Notwithstanding there was a spirited
contest at some of the polling precincts
last evening, the primaries passed off
reasonably smoothly for wet day. 1t was
probably fortunate that it was raining.
There was just enough feeling between
some of the factiOnal partisans to have
been aggravated into bitterness by the
excess of bile which dry weather is apt to
generate. The delegates elected to to-day's
convention are active, intelligent Demo-
Gratis, who will doubtless subordinate
everything else to the party's good.
Those who were elected in the
face of spirited opposition can afford
to be magnanimous in the hour of
victory and will hesitate to do anything
that will add to the humiliation of the de-
feat of their late opponents. The work Of
to-day's convention will be to select dele
gates to represent Ramsey county in the
state and congressional conventions. It
goes without saying that the prestige of the
Ramsey county Democracy must be pre-
served and to this end it is necessary to
select the best representative Democrats as
delegates. The GLOBE has confidence
enough in the wisdom and integrity of the
convention which assemblies to-day to feel
assured that its work will be satisfactory to
the Democratic constituency of this county,

ssFIOra's Scores the Youths with
Feeble lnteIiects, Gorgeous APP
parel and Foolish Parents.
To the Editor of the Globe:
One of the most expressive words of recent
coinage is the word dude. 1t expresses an
idea which could not be uttered by any other
word in the language. There are several va
rieties too, two OF which / wish to refer now.
The genteel tramp dude is the son of we'll
TODD parents, who furnish him with money
sufficient to live Ii fe of idleness and to
crafty his vanity for dress. He is generally
seen under a shining stOve-pipe hat and
dressed in clothes as elegant as his tailor can
furnish He parts his hair in the middle or
''bangs'' it, wears weak. puny little mus
tache, which he keeps well waxed and imag-
ines that it gives him grace and dignity. Col
ored kids envelope his dainty hands, AS
men never carry walking canes unless physi-
cally or mentally disabled, he carries one for
the latter reason. 1t seems that nice little
cane is a part of the makeup of this variety.
In nine cases out of ten it has an ivory head
terminating with lady's leg from the knee
down.
On his pretty little feet you will see patent
leather shoes cut low to show his exquisite
ankles. In height he is less than six feet,
usually about five feet ten inches. He imag-
ines that all the young ladies are in love with
him and that he makes "nlash" at first
sight, whereas, in reality, he is the laughing
stock of all sensible girls. Men, made in the
image of God, look upon him with disgust
and wonder why so much time was wasted in
creating him. In fact, when j look upon one
of this class, I feel about converted to the
Darwinian theory. for here we have the
monkey in process of development.
Then there is the ministerial dude. He is
recognizable by the way he writes his name
He parts his hair properly, but he divides his
name in the middle The ministerial dude
seems to have pretty much captured the
American pulpit. We seldom here now of
Rev. G. D. Price, but we often hear of Rev.
G.. Douglass Price; Rev. J. Peters Brown;
Rev. O. Brown Jones, etc. In the name of
common sense, will not these clerical gentle
men return to the old order of things and
thus relieve themselves of the imputaton of
being dudes! FLORA.

largely interested in several factories,
which, owing to several causes, have not
been profitable. No estimate can yet be
made of the amount the firm will be able to
pay. The creditors are mainly in Boston,
with some few in New York and New
Hampshire. The assets consist mostly of
accounts. The chief cause of the failure is
said to have been the present stringency in

was killed while attempting to mount a

murdered. Her skull was crushed over the
