AN FAIRLY CROP.

The phenomenal condition of the ele-
ments at this season of the year will re-
call to Bible readers the predictions which
have been made in holy writ concerning
the end of time. The times spoken of when
there will be signs in the heavens and when
an unknown fear shall fall upon the peo-
pie and dreadful apprehension of coming
evil shall prevail; when those who are on
the housetops shall descend and all similar
prophecies seem to have fulfill
ment in degree in the seasons
of flood and storm which have
devastated so many portions of the
country, and the general unrest in the social
world and disturbed condition of labor.
But to those who do not rely upon proph
ecies and who attribute all disturbances
to natural causes, there will be an earnest
effort to unravel the mysteries of tho years
phenomena. The times may be all right,
but somehow the seasons are out of joint.
\ cyclone in April is not one of the things
we are in the habit of expecting here in
Minnesota. To say the very least of it, il
- crowding the season a little uncom-
fortably.

THE ST. Louis PLAN,

A great deal has been spoken and written
about the disturbed condition of our indus
trial system, and great many able argu-
ments have been advanced in favor of vari-
Gus plans that have been suggested for a
settlement of the differences which are con-
stantly arising between those who pay
wages and those who receive. The arbi-
tTation plan and the cooperative plan have
been discussed at great length without any
definite conclusion as to the practicability
of either, or if they either did prove
satisfactory, how the details were to
be worked out. OF all schemes
that have so far been suggested none
seemed nearer an accomplishment of the
desired end than the one attempted to be
put in practice in st. Louis relating to the
great Southwestern strike. 1t is a simple
proposition, and yet it has all tie elements
of fairness, and rests on the only basis that
can make arbitration successful. The plan
is to select board of arbitrators. to con-
sist of equal numbers of represen-
tatives representing the three inter
eStS affected by the strike. First.
there is to be committee representing the
railroad interests; second, a committee rep
resenting the labor organizations, and third.
a committee representing the commercial
and business interests not directly identified
with either of the Others. This last ele-
ment in the constitution of the arbitration
board is the most important, as it is really
the umpire, upon whose shoulders will rest
the responsibility of determining the
differences that may arise. 1t is a
grave responsibility to thrust upon
the third party to the board
but there is no party upon whom this re-
spOnsibility could more appropriately fall.
The commercial and farming interests re-
present the conservatism of the country.
and should stand as a breakwater against
the angry dissenSiOns which exist between
capital and labor. 1t is the farmer and the
merchant classes whose interests are seri-
ouSly jeOpardZed by these continuous antar.
onisms, and they should have the power to
terminate them. Constituting as they do
the bulk of the population. and in
the aggregate the possessors of
the real wealth of the nation.
they are entitled to occupy the
pOolIiOh VI umpire. Anu more than that
their relations to the two contending ele-
ments are so impartial and disinterested
they are qualified to render justice to both.
1t is unfortunate that the commercial in
terests of st. Louis were not more largely
represented in Tuesday nights meeting.
still it is fortunate that the plan there
agreed upon is such a simple and practical
solution of the labor troubles that it must
commend itself to the judgment of all fair
minded men. If it is impossible that labor
and capital cannot adjust their differences
without the intervention of third party.
and it seems to be that they cannot it is
proper that the classes which represent the
real conservatism of the country shall
promptly step to the front and bring these
troubles to an end

Dissatisfied swItchmeo,

CHICAGO, April 14.-The members of
the Switchmen's union, working for the
Michigan Southern railway in this city, are
generally dissatisfied with the retention by
that company of eight men who were taken
on during the strike of 1881. General
Iardmaster Jones has been presented with
a petition setting forth that unless the eight
are discharged by Saturday noon strike
will then be inaugurated. One of the
switchmen said tonight: There are about
seventy-fve of us in the employ of the COM
pany, and if we quit work it cannot move
an engine or take out freight train because
experienced men can't be found to take our
places" Mr.. Jones has not yet informed
the men what action the company will take
with regard To their demand.

CRUSHED AGAIN.
Another Order by Gen. Sparks We
VerSed by Lamar.
Special to the Globe.


Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, April I4.-Commissioncr
Sparks has been turned down again. The
circumstances are these: Taylor s. Smith
OF Glidden, Ashland county, Wiscon-
sin, had purchased some trees of q
number of homesteaders in that county. and
cut them and sold them for lumber. The
matter was referred to the general land Of
fee. Commissioner Sparks decided that bothl
the purchasers and the homesteauers were
responsible in damages and liable TO fine
Secretary Lamar, having reviewed the case
to-day overruled the order of Sparks on these
grounds. There was sufficient proof tina
the parties who settled upon the lands al
though no patent had been issued TO them,
were bona-tide settlers; that they were in
need; that some of them had sold the trees
TO obtain means to make Improvements upon
the lands, while some of them
had sold the timber to purchase
the necessaries of life; that no
fraud was intended by the purchasers, as
they inquired of the local land agent as to the
authority to buy the trees, a2d were informed
that it would not be in violation of the laws;
that the order of the interior department. for
bidding the selling of lumber from home
steads prior to the issue of patents
had two objects, to-wit: TO prevent
the robbery of the government by persons
who were not bona fide settlers and to pre-
vent the needless and wanton destruction of
the forests, but that the order was not in
tended to inflict hardships upon settlers.
For these reasons it was decided that these
settlers had not violated the spirit Of the
order, and the commissioner of the land
office was directed TO accept the offer of $3.50
in settlement OF all claims of the United

ANINJURED PATRIOT.

JAY GOULD complains that injustice has
been done him. He is right about it.
Bishop BOWMAN says that in all justice
somebody ought TO be kicking JAY GOULD
around through the streets of New York.
Bishop BowMAN has the reputation of be-
ing very observing and impartial sort of
man and he would hardly make a rash as
sertion. Ii Mr.. GOULD thinks that he has
been dealt with unjustly he ought TO hire
somebody to deal out justice to him in the
manner Bishop BOWMAN indicates. Mr..
GOULD has plenty of money, and no doubt
ecould find some one TO do the job at re-
duced rates.

1T WILL RE DoNF.

Recognizing the fact that st. Paul and
Minneapolis have succeeded to the position
that Chicago once held as the terminus of
the great Eastern trunk lines, the Bismarck
journal expresses the opinion that the twin
cities will not gain all they might have
until the Northern Pacific co-operates with
them for the development of the traffic Of
Northern Dakota AID Montana. This is a
truthful statement. Nor does it apply with
any less force to the prosperity of the twin
cities than it does to the future prosperity
of the Northern Pacific. The continued
development of st. Paul and Minneapolis is
of as much importance to this great railroad

THE FOE OF NIONOPoLY.

To the Editor of the Globe:
In your issue of yesterday you say that the
Republican party is directly responsible for
the labor troubles. Did not monopolies exist
and strikes occur under the fifty years of
Democratic rule preceding the war? Please
answer for the information of.
AN INDEPENDENT VOTER.
No. There was no occasion for strikes
during the half century of Democratic SUI
premacy, land there was no opportunity
for the existence of monopolies The Demo
cratic party came into existence as a protest
against the tendency of the old Federal party
toward aristocracy. Itwas founded upon the
principle that one man was no better than
another, and consequently that there
could be no privileged classes. Drawing its
inspiration from its illustrious founder. Mr..
JEFFERSON, who was peculiarly the
champion of equal rights and simple gov
emment the Democratic party has been
the perpetual and uncOmpromising foe 10
monopoly. 1t stood unwaveringly by JET
PERSON in his fight against HAuLroN's
funding law and his policy to assume the
payment of the state debts, and at length.
after series Of defeats, bore Its great leader
triumphantly into the presidency. From
that time on for fifty years there was con-
tinuous and successful struggle on the
part of the Democratic party TO
throttle monopoly. AS often as il
monopoly showed its hydra head-whether
IN the shape of United States bank on a
high protective tarif-it was the Democratic
party that struck it down. 1t was not until
the Republican party assumed control of
the government that monopOlies sprang into
existence. 1t was under the influence of
Republican fostering that they grew and
strengthened until now they overshadow
the county and the nation trembles with
apprehension lest their power shall work its
destruction. Whatever other shortcomings
the Democratic party may have had lean
ing toward, monopoly was not one of them.

CYCLONES.

To the Editor OF the Globes:
Please explain to one who is ignorant of the
true theory of cyclones, the scientific defni-
tion of cyclone, where it originates and the
cause of its origin. INou1RER
ST. Paul, April IA.
A cyclone is defined to be storm of wind
moving in immense whirls and at the same
time moving onward over the surface.
Science has devoted great deal of study to
the phenomenon storms and ordinarily
with very accurate results. But cyclone.
or at least our American cyclone, is one of
those pestiferous things that laughs science
to scorn and is constantly guilty of such gro
sesque freaks and pranks that the laws of
Jcience are set at defiance. Enough is
mown about them to be fairly accepted as
aw that cyclones originate outside the
equivalent belt between the tropics, and
move toward the poles. They have the
angential and centripetal movements COM
)ined with an upward one so that the

HARD TO PLEASE.


There is nothing on earth good enough
for Chlcagoan. And there is story that
once upon time Chicago man was adj
mitted to heaven, but it was done with fair
warning from the keepers of the celestial
gates that he wouldn't like it. An appro-
pirate Illustration of this characteristic hard
tO-pleaSe quality is found in the recent
criticisms of a Chicago newspaper on
GLADsToNE's famous speech. While all
the world is ringing with the praises of this
masterpiece of eloquence, Chicago con-
temporary turns ND its nose at the fresh
ness of the world for applauding such a
commonplace effort at oratory. 1t really
has the audacity TO point out the rhetorical
defects and to show how much more point
and polish could have been given to it if
Mr.. GLADSTONE had only been an orator
of the Chicago standard. AS single illus.
tration of what heights that standard
attains the following selection is taken
from Mr.. GLADsToNE's speech and made
the object of the Chicago Journalists criti-
cal shaft: ''We should no longer fence or
skirmish with this question. We should
come to close quarters with it," This is
GLADsToNE's language, which, according
to the Chicago critic, is such a bad mixing
of metaphors that a Chicago schoolboy
would be ashamed to own it, Now, accord
ing to all rules of rhetoric known outside
OF Chicago, the metaphor was singularly
appropriate. Bnt when we take INTO con-
sideration the fact that Chicagoan's idea
of fence is line of posts with barbed
wire stretched along on them, we at once
catch on to the critics objection to coming
to close quarters with such an uncomfort-
able object. Viewing it from the Chicago
standpoint it is not so much of a surprise
that the speech is regarded dry and dreary
and sterile in style"

POPULATION OF THE COUNTRY


viii you please state what is the present
population of the United States, Alaska in
cluded, according to latest estimates. and
oblige. IA n
Minneapolis, April IA.
The first census report that was published
was in 1890 when the population of the
United States was 9,929,2l4. In 1900 it
had increased to 1904, 4SS. In 1910 it was
1888, SS1; 1920, 1888, s22; 1880, 10, S06, O2o;
1910, 1909, 45S; 1850. %, 191. $40; 1860,
81, 443, S21; 1870, IS, sos, 81, and at the last
census in 1880 it was so, 1876. 1888. Allow
ing then that the population of the United
states has increased during the last six
years in the same ratio that marked its in
crease during the several decades preceding
1880. it is safe to estimate the present
population in round numbers at So, OOO. 600.

THE IRISH PROBLEM.
Lord Randolph Churchill Declares
II 10 Re Unsolvable.


LONDON, April 14.-Lord Randolph
Churchill. speaking at the Beaconsfeld
club this evening said that Mr.. Gladstone's
scheme meant an absolute repeal of the
union. The bill could not succeed. 1t had
already shattered the Liberal party, and
Mr.. Gladstone himself was responsible for
it. The country had no confidence in the
proposals. If Mr.. Gladstone should appeal
to the country or should retire altogether his
policy would retire with him. Not man
in the government desired to see the
bill passed. The political life of England
was being poisoned and paralyzed by the
personal ascendeney of one man. Mr..
Gladstone's policy will not be likely to have a
rival. The Irish problem was unsolvable, 1t
was utterly impossible to define method
by which to give Ireland home rule, and
also to maintain the unity of the empire.
He urged the application to Ireland of these
principles of courage, common sense.
patience and perseverance which had made
England great and prosperous.
