DISHONEST PROFESSIONS,

If there ever was political party badly
mixed up on its tariff record, the Repubh-
can party of Minnesota is that party. The
two leading Republican organs of the state
take issue on this question. The Pioneer
Press says that Minnesota Republicans
want low tariff. The Minneapolis Trib-
me saws that the party stands by
Mr.. BLAINE and protection. The
state platform cries for low tariff,
the congressional platforms with one eX-
eeption favor protection. In consideration
of the fact that the tariff question is the
foremost issue in American politics to-day,
the position of the Republican party in this
state on this question is a most disgraceful
one to occupy. The fact is that the Re-
publican organization in this state, as 1t is
In every state, is committed to the prOtec-
tion theory. In his address before the
Young Mems Republican club of this city
ON Tuesday night, Col. BLETHEN said that
no high tariff law had ever been repealed
except by the Democratic party and that
protection was the grand idea OF the Re-
publican party. Col. BLETHEN is right
about it and it is more honest to talk as e
does than to attempt to sail the Republican
vessel in this state under free trade
eolors. The free trade plank in the
Republican state platform is dishonest
attempt to trick the farmers and laboring
classes into a support of the Republican
ticket. There is no sort of sincerity in the
Republican profession of friendliness for
free trade 1t is impossible that there
should be. When the Republican party in
Minnesota attempts to pose as free trade
organization, it simply makes itself the
object of ridicule. 1t is true that four
Minnesota congressman voted for the NOR
RIsoN bill, but with the exception of Mr..
NELSON they were laid on the shelf for
doing so. And if there had been any way
by which Mr. NELSON could have been
hedged in, he would have been shelved
with the rest of them. 1t may be because
NELSON was stronger in his district than
his party that his bacon was saved. Gill
FIILAN was the one Minnesota con-
gresham who stood up for protection in
the last congress, and as his reward he was
renolninated by reclamation. Notwith-
standing its prOfessed friendship for free
trade, the Republican party in this state is
at heart for protection. 1t is bad show
ing for party when it is ashamed Of its
DriDciDleS.

would not give up single one of
the many missions, although the board
sorely needed funds and missionary work
ers. The board had reached point, he
urged, where it would go on logically to
operate upon the institutions of all nations
in pursuance of its great work. Rev. Dr.
Tile, of Chicago. then reported for the
committee that had reviewed DR.. Alden's
address on the inter-dependence OF home
and foreign work, cordially indorsing and
commencing it. He said that he blushed for
shame when he learned that the mis-

more money for mission work than

secretary of the Congregational union, fol-

great feeling and sympathy. After an

WISCONSIN CAMPAIGN.

The Wisconsin Democrats are making a
gallant fight this fall, with the prospect OF
victory before them. 1t is one of the hot
test campaigns in the history of Wisconsin
politics, and the extraordinary efforts that
the Republicans are putting forth is evil
dence that they are conscious of the
strength of the Democracy. The Demo-
Gratis have an exceptionally strong ticket in
the field. GILBERT NJ. WOODWARD, of
La Crosse, the Democratic candidate for
governor. is man of recognized ability,
great personal popularity and has splendid
record The ticket is clean one in every
respect and we'll calculated to awaken en-
thusiaSm. The Wisconsin Republicans did
just as their Minnesota brethren did,
snubbed the foreign element, particularly
the Germans and Scandinayians. The
hardy sons of the North intend to resent
the insult and will in the main vote the
Democratic ticket.

A TRADING TICKET.

The Republicans have surrendered Ram
sey county in advance of the election. The
ticket nominated by the county convention
was constructed for the purpose of being
defeated. A great deal of care seems to
to have been exercised in selecting out the
Republican politicians who were sup
posed to need killing off, and their
names were put on the ticket.
With the possible exception of ALBERT
SCHEFFER, there is not man on the
ticket that will give strength to it, and MIR.
SCHEFFER's positive declination indicates
that he had no desire to be made CATS
paw to pull chestnuts out of the fire for
other people. The principal use that the
Republicans have for their ticket will be for
trading purposes. 1t is good ticket to trade
off, so Democrats will be apt remember that
it is not good ticket to trade for. The OBJ
ject of the Republicans is to trade the
county ticket for votes for McGILL and
GILFILLAN, but it will not pan out. Demo-
Gratis will vote their ticket straight this
wear.

BRAKEMEN ON A STRIKE.
Labor Revolt w hich May Involve
the Entire Erie system.


the Entire Erie system.
CLEVELAND. o., Oct. 6.-The freight
brakemen on the Mahoning division of the
New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad,
made demand several days ago for an in
crease of wages from S1.75 to 50 per day.
and presented several other grievances.
Among other things they asked that they
be given extra pay for all time over nine
teen hours consumed in making round
trip. At present they get extra only when
it requires more than, twenty hours to make
the trip. The engineers and firemen come
within the nineteen-hour limit. and the
brakemen ask the same. General Manager
Shaler forwarded the demands of the men
to headquarters in New York, promising to
give them reply to-day. This morning
the brakemen met and appointed commit
tee to wait upon General Superintendent
Shaler This official submitted PROPOSE
ton to the effect that they will agree to pay
wages as high as any road competing with
Network, Pennsylvania 81 Ohio, the men
to be given time to investigate for them
selves to ascertain the prices paid by the
competing lines. If satisfactory arrange
ments could not be made each party was to
select man, and these two third. to con-
stitute an arbitration committee whose de-
cision was to be considered final, and for
both to bind themselves to abide by the de-
cision rendered by that committee. The
committee refused to accept the PROPOSE
ton and ordered the brakemen to quit
work at noon. The order was complied
here and about sixty men struck A

Shall the schoolBe CIosedq


At an adjourned meeting Of the board of
education yesterday afternoon the closing Of
the Winthrop school on account of the
prevalence of diphtheria was discussed at
some length. There are some twenty-five
cases of the disease at the school and the
superintendent recommended that the build
ing be closed. Mr.. Ankeny did not think it
would be wise to close the building. The
sanitary arrangements here were considered
perfect but the health inspector considers
them imperfect and lays the prevalence of
the disease to this cause. A meeting will
be held Saturday afternoon to fully con-
slider the matter of closing the school. Supt.
Bradley and Messrs. Miller and Nelson
were appointed committee to Inquire as to
the extent of the disease. But little other
business was transacted.
ROUTINE BUSINESS
was transacted at the city council last night
as follows: The chief of police was in
structed to enforce the ordinance prohibit
ing blowing Of locomotive whistles in the
city limits. A water main was ordered
laid in Garfield avenue, from Twenty
sixth street to Twenty-seventh street. The
name of the Third precinct of the Third
ward was changed to that of the Sixth
precinct.
The South Minneapolis market ordinance
was given its final reading, when Aid.
Hangar expressed his fear that the ordi-
nance might be detriment to the city be-
cause of its being an exclusive franchise for
term of years. Besides the space desig-
mated is not calculated to meet the demands
of coming years. Aid. Moereck thought
the proper thing to do is to have the city
build its own market houses, and not grant
to j. G. WOoley nor any one else an eXclu-
sive franchise. After considerable discus
sion the ordinance was laid on the table,

THE COAL sPIRACY.

Gov. PATTISoN's instructions to the at
torney general of Pennsylvania to institute
legal proceedings against the coal ring in
that state is the biggest bomb that has ever
been thrown into the camp of monopoly.
1t is the first time that an earnest and we'll
directed movement has been made against
the ring, which have so signally cursed the
keystone state. and it has naturally had
the effect of creating big sensation. The
monopolistic ring have SO long had abso-
Lutte control of the whole state government
of Pennsylvania that they were not pre-
pared for an assault from this quarter.
They had failed to realize the difference be-
tween Republican and Democratic adj
ministration, but Gov. PATTIsoN's action
will bring them to see it. OF
course all the rings Will make
common cause against Gov. PATTIsoN, and
will unite to fight him in the courts. A
great deal depends upon the ability and
honesty of the attorney general. He is
known to be a man of fine legal attain
ments, and if he proves to be faithful
public official he viii make the coal ring
sweat before he gets through with it. And
if he succeeds in breaking down this pow
erful combination it will clear the way to-

Too Many Insane People.

Special to the Globe.
YANKToN, OAK, Oct. 6.-The two in
sane asylums in this territory. one at James
town and the other at Yankton, are now
crowded to their utmost capacity, and in
durable patients are being discharged daily
to make room for new arrivals. Under the
present law the superintendent Of the aSy-
lums are obliged TO receive patients, and to
do this the incurables must be discharged
thus throwing back upon the county from
whence they came the burden of supporting
these long victims of insanity. 1t will
be actually necessary for the next
legislature to order both these institu-
tons enlarged to accommodate all
applicants. 1t is fact that Black Hills
deputy sheriff is almost constantly on the
road engaged in transporting insane pa
tients to they ankton asylum, while the same
is true of the sheriffs OF two or three other
counties of South Dakota. The trustees
of both these asylums are anxious to accom-
modate all applicants for admission, but
are now compelled to ask that only violently
insane persons be sent. The biennial re-
port of the officers and trustees of the
Yankton asylum, which is now being pre-
pared, shows that very small percentage
of deaths have occurred, while nearly as
many patients have been discharged cured
as have been received during the past two
years, and in report to the legislature an
appropriation for charging this institution
is asked for.

of them will be disposed of right here. 1t
may be that but little can be done here this
season, but year hence not single one of
these a75, 900 cattle should be allowed to go
to an Eastern market except dressed for
sale over the butchers block. The people
may not appreciate the tremendous factor a
stock market will be in st. Paul's industrial
life. but when they understand that on the
basis of Montana's export for the present
year business of some $1,000. 900 will
be transacted, perhaps they may attain an
approximate idea of its Importance.

The Increase of Bald Heads.

October Popular Science Monthly.
To person who has thoughtful turn of
mind there can be no more fruitful theme
for meditation than to go into our large
halls. theaters, churches and other places
of public resort. and, securing seat in the
gallery or the rear part of the room, look at
the heads of the audience for no other pur-
pose than to ascertain by actual count how
many show signs of badness. Unless the
experimenter has been in the habit of
counting for this object he will be surprised
to learn that in most of the Eastern cities
fully 80 per cent. OF the men over thirty
years of age show unmiStakable signs of
badness. while nearly 20 per cent. have
spots on their heads that are not only bald
but actually polished with the gloss that is
supposed to belong to extreme old age
alone. Bald-headed men are most plent-
full in New York and Boston. After these
come Philadelphia, Washington and the
Western towns. Here are few observa-
tons taken in Boston: Trinity Church
243 men; II actually bald, As indications of
badness Kings Chapel-S6 men; SO ac-
tualy bald, A indications of badness.

Look therel Breathe that glow of light
That falls from such a curtained height
To make it mellow;
A pretty picture-she, l mean
And not her canvas with that green
And reddish yellow.
An apron girds her for the fray
She plods arts somewhat rigid way
Serene, collected;
Her hair is coiled with careless grace
A daub of paint is ON her face
But that's expected.
With eyes efiame and lips apart,
What is she dreaming of? Sweet art
Or cotillion?
I really know no more than you
Except-that then she used the blue
For her vermillion!

THEY WONT HAVE 1T.

The people of Minnesota are a long
suffering people, who have submitted to
expressions of one sort and another with a
patience that has been phenomenal. They
have been oppressed and cheated and
swindled by the rings, by the wheat rings,
the elevator rings. the railroad rings, the
land grabberS' rings, by the political rings,
and by all sorts of monopolstic combina-
tons that have ever been invented to ac-
cumulate wealth by filching the hard
earned savings of the toilers. The people
of this state have submitted to these things
and more too. But there is one thing they
will not submit to. They will not have a
governor who wears cOrSetS.

THE IMPENDING CONFLICT.

New York city is to have square fight
between capital and labor in the coming
municipal contest. The action of the
stock exchange yesterday to put SIMMONS
in the field as the candidate of capital
draws the line squarely between him and
HENRY GEORGE. the candidate of the
workingmen. Mr.. GEORGES candidacy
has resulted just as the GLOBE predicted it
would in the beginning. He is so thor
oughly identified with socialism that it was
an impossibility to keep the issue out of the
canvass. The action of the stock exchange
in meeting the issue so promptly and de
ci6edly indicates that the New York CAPT
talists realize the fact that it is a question
that must be met sooner or later. and they
prefer to have it settled at once. The re-
suit of the contest will be watched with
intense interest, for on the result moment
GUS questions depend, affecting the future
of the whole country.

ADDITIONAL MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.
RAISED THE TAXATION.
The Action OF the Board of Tax
Mt


Levy Not Final
At last nights meeting of the city council
the committees On taxes and ways and
means reported in favor of the resolution
changing the tax levy as fixed by the board,
and the city attorney submitted legal
opinion to the effect that the city charter is
flexible sort of an affair, and in creating
board OF tax levy failed 10 vest any
power In that board further than to resolve
itself into an advisory board. Consequently.
the action recently taken by the board in
reducing the rate of taxation is not binding.
The committees on taxes and ways and
means decided in favor of increasing the
realty taxes in order to unload the city's
debt, whereas it was the discretion of the
board to allow taxpayers to pay off the
city's debt in installments, running along
for a series of years. This latter was at the
advice of Mayor Ames, who is a member
of the board of tax levy. He argued
before the board that it would be in the
interest of poor men who own little home
land thousands of them have mortgages ON
their homes to pay Off, to pay the city'S
Indebtedness at some future time, and by
installments.
The resolution adopted by the council
fixes the appropriations and tax levy as
follows:
For the general fund for current
expenses. Observation-Disclosures. $4,000
For interest fund, for interest on
bonded debt ................ 200, 900
For sinking fund. Observation-Disclosures. 100000
1t was also resolved that taxes be levied
by wards as follows:

Denial That Didn't Deny.

DUIUUu IIIUUHU.
Mr.. McGill delivered his opening speech or
the campaign on Saturday mt st. Peter and
made vigorous denial that he is the candidate
of the Millers' association, asserting with en-
phasis that he is not the candidate or any per-
son, ring or corporation. Perhaps not, put
as the pillsburys and Fletchers and their
squad were the head and front of McGill's
nomination and he would not have been nom
mated but for them, it looks very much as
though he is the very candidate of ring and
q mightY one at that.
