M,GILL,s SCOnp

Farmer McGILL has been going to school
to Farmer GILMAN, and as it turns out
proves himself to be very apt scholar.
When Farmer GILMAN came down to st.
Patti and opened his training school for
teaching the methods Of underground polit-
ical work, guileleSS Farmer NJ CGILL was
as ignorant of such things as a boy 10 years
old. But a few weeks study of
Farmer GItMAN's political methods has
produced a wonderful improvement in
Farmer MCGILL's political education. AS
he reads the returns of last nights prima-
ries Farmer GILMAN will be amazed at the
aptness of his pupil in catching on TO his
system. Farmer MoGILL handled the
Ramsey county primaries with the con-
summate skill of veteran politician. He
has scooped the whole pile, and now it will
be in order for Farmer GILMAN to go to
school to Farmer MCGILL awhile.

KEEP OUT OF CONGRESS,

With all his foolish talk JEFF DAVIS
now and then gets in nugget of wisdom
which possesses real value. In q speech
before congressional convention in Mis-
sissippi the other day he told the delegates
that it was not difficult matter to find an
honest man to send to congress, but it was
extremely difficult to find one whose hon.
esty could stand up against the tempta-
lions which beset a congressman's pathway
at the national capital. He hit the nail
right on the head. 1t is lamentable fact
that, no matter how honest they may be
before they enter the halls of congress,
comparatively few congressman retire from
public service with the pure hearts and
unsoijed hands they had when they entered
it. This may account in part for the dis
position manifested by the people to be
continually sending new men to congress.
1t is a rare thing for congressman to
come before his district for re-eIec-
ton that direct charges of corruption
are not brought against him. and
unfortunately in too many instances proven
against him, and though he may succeed in
securing his return to congress for another
term or dozen terms under the pressure of
partisan influence still he is apt to feel, and
his constituency feel, that he has measur-
ably forfeited the place of honor that he
once held in the estimation Of his acquaint-
.ances. There are many young men of high
character and bright promise who have
their ambitions set on the distinction OF
being a congressman, and yet if they only
realized the imminent risk of character and
reputation involved in the position they
would shrink from it in horror. There are
numerous instances, and some of them
right; here in Minnesota, of once honored
names that now lie whitening under ths
blight of congressional career. Young
men of talent and character, if you have as.
piratiOns for congress remember that you
are treading on dangerous ground.

ference with the Colonial Min
lister.
LONDON, Aug. 20.-A large and import
ant deputation from the West India com
mittee of merchants called at the colonial
Office to-day and had an interview with
Stanhope, the colonial minister. They
asked his assistance in arriving at an under
standing as to the present position of the
West Indies in the proposed convention
providing for the mutual exchange of GER
tain goods duty free between the British
West Indies and the United States on the
same principle as that which was obtained
i'll the treaty of 1854 between Canada and
the United States. The deputation also re-
quested the government to reopen nego-
tiations with the United States on the pro-
posed treaty and also arrange to have the
British West Indies represented in the con-
gresS of the North and. South American
states to convene in Washington in 1887.
The deputation asked the colonial minister
to use his influence to induce the foreign
Office and board of trade to
BRING ABOUT A CONFERENCE
for che purpose of erecting on an effective
basis system of sugar bounties in the in
terest OF British sugar producers at the ear
Hest possible moment Stenhope said that
for obvious reasons he did not like to say
much on the matters. He deeply sympa-
thized with the trade depression in the
West Indies. In regard to the proposed
convention with the United States he was
afraid he could say but little. The views
of the Washington government were not
well known. He himself had no recent
information on the subject and he would
communicate with Earl Iddlesleigh, the
foreign minister in order to ascertain the
precise attitude of the United States Con-
corning the proposed representation of the
British West Indies in the convention of
North and South American states, he IA
vored it. and would ascertain whether the
government at Washington would be will
ing to permit it. The question of sugar
bourties was one which belonged to the
board of trade. but he would exert himself
to further the views presented.

Therefore the English government canno
recognize or associate itself in any shape or

ment, which is violation OF the
treaty of Berlin, which will tend TO make the

UNDERGROUND WIRES.

The recent application by an electric
light company to council for permission to
erect poles and string wires in the city, was
an excellent opportunity to begin crusade
against overhead wires, which, it is to be
regretted, was not taken advantage of.
Although council wisely reserved the RICH t
to order the wires underground at any time,
it would have been far easier to have COM
PEELED that disposition Of them in the first
place. After the poles are once erected
and the wires strung it will be a difficult
matter, as experience has shown, to bring
about the underground system. Every
year increases the nuisance of poles and
wires in the streets, and it will be, consid-
ering st. Paurs growth, but very short
time until the annoyance grows into
the intolerable proportions it has
reached in larger cities. The under
ground system has been sufficiently
tested to insure its entire practicability, and
it Is therefore unfortunate that beginning
was not made, when opportunity offered, to
secure it's adoption in this city. The COM
panies complain that the buryng of the
wires entails upon them very heavy ex-
pense, but it's a very curious process of
reasoning which advances that as a suffi-
cent excuse for the disfguring of the city's
streets and the annoyance of citizens, for
whose interests one telegraph company at
least has not shown itself regardful.

A MISTAKEN POLICY.

The State Fair association enters COM
plant against the Eastern trunk lines be-
cause of their refusal to extend the usual
courtesy of free expectation to and from
the state fair. The state fair management
is apprehensive that the exhibition will be
seriously crippled in its stock display on &C
count of it. The Northern Pacific, the
Manitoba, the Minnesota & Northwestern
and the St. Paul & Duluth roads have
promptly rendered this courtesy, which has
been in vogue so long, and will give free
transportation for all articles and live stock
intended for exhibition at the state fair. If
the Eastern trunk lines adhere to their re-
fusal to join in the extension of this cour-
tesy, it must necessarily limit the livestock
display. Assuming that the managers of
the trunk lines understand their own bust
ness, the GLOBE does not volunteer any
suggestions. But, looking at it from dis
interested standpoint, we are frank
to admit that the trunk lines
are pursuing short-sighted policy in this
matter They have perfect right to de-
clare their absolute independence of the
agricultural classes of the Northwest. but
that will not add to the business of trans
portation over these lines, which consists
almost exclusively of agricultural products.
Neither will it have a tendency to allay the
bitterness which is already felt and ex-
pressed by Northwestern farmers toward
the trunk lines. With the Mississippi river
and the great lakes furnishing them water
outlet for the shipment of their farm
products, the farmers of the Northwest
can, II forced to it, assume as independent
a position as the trunk lines dare do. So
leaving out of sight entirely the ordinary
courtesies which are usually extended to
agricultural associations or occasions of this
kind and viewing it exclusively from a
BUSINESS standpoint, the natural conclusion
is that The tru TX lines are making mistake
and will proba bly, reverse their action when
the matter is considered in its proper light

THE MINNEAPOLIS EXPOSITION.

THE MINNEAPOLIS EXPOSITION.
The opening Of the Minneapolis EXPOSE
ton next Monday will mark an epoch in
the progress of the Northwest. While our
sister city is entitled to the credit of in
augurating and pushing the enterprise to a
successful completion, its people are gener-
Gus enough to denominate it, what it really
is, a Northwestern Exposition. An enter
prise of such magnitude cannot be confined
to pent up UtIca1 limits. 1t is nothing
more nor less than a manifestation of that
spirit of enterprise which is making this
great Northwest the wonder of the world.
1t is single but splendid specimen Of the
handiwork of that marvellous energy which
has builded these mighty Twin Cities here
on the banks of the Upper Mississippi.
The intimation thrown out in certain
quarters that st. Paul is jealous of its
sister city's Exposition enterprise is a libel
upon this city. If there is a rivalry between
the two cities it does not partake
of the littleness of jealousy. 1t
is Of the more generous sort which
stimulates each to excel, and which results
in mutual rejoicing when either accom-
plishes great feat. The destinies Of the
two cities are SO inseparably woven to-
gethsr that what helps one must benefit
the other. The success of our winter
carnival was beneficial to Minneapolis, and
the success of the latter's summer EXPOSE
ton will be equally beneficial to st. Paul.
Consequently there is every inducement to
the people of st. Paul to join hands with
the people of Minneapolis in making the
Exposition a grand success, for, by doing
so they together add another diadem to
the crown Of our Northwestern glory.
