upon such occasions as should be
deemed proper and useful. Power
should also be distinctly conferred
upon this bureau to investigate the
causes of all disputes as they occur,

as Kelly leaped into it he said: 'sHugh, give

glimpses of the road down the river and we
could see the team coming. and that they
were gaining on US every minute. On went
the train; no time to lose, as there were many
more passengers aboard beside our party who
wanted to make the East-bound train. On
came the gallant steeds, never once slacken-
Ing their fearful and wonderful strides, but
letting out another link whenever called for;
and as our train whistled down brakes for the
junction and stopped at the platform on time
we alighted and cast look down the river
and shout went up, ''There comes Kelly"
AND sure enough he was coming not over
half mile away, and in another minute and
half the steaming steeds were pulled up at
the loot OF the bluff opposite the train. Then
cheer went up from the waiting crowd for
Kelly. Just as Kelly came scrambling up the
oluH the whistle of the East-bound train from
Minneapolis was sounded for the junction..
Kelly was not left. He had made the trip

over seven miles, in seventeen minutes with

Honorable record for himself and
bfOmote his chances for the presidency
more rapidly than by resorting to artful
devices to score point against Secretary
BAYARD at the expense of the national
honor and dignity. 1t is true that Mr..
BAYARD's dilly-dallying policy in dealing
with the Canadian authorities is not al
together satisfactory to the American
people. But it may be said in
extenuation of this fact that the
state department is in possession
of facts connected with this matter which
are unknown to the public and which, when
made public, may completely justify the
secretary of state in what now appears to
be his hestating policy. At all events it
is not proper to condemn the secretary in
advance Of the conclusion of his negotia-
tions with the Canadian government.
But whatever may be the result
of the Canadian trouble, whether
the secretary is to be applauded or con-
demned for his action in that particular. it
certainly is not right to criticize him for
pursuing toward Mexico the very policy
which he is blamed for not pursuing to-
ward Canada. If it is right that the state
department shall stand on its ear in the
Canada matter then there is no reason to
complain of it for doing so in the Mexican
affair. MI BLAINE's attitude is not bit
commendable and will do him no good in
the future. He is entirely too partisan to
be great statesman.

THE CABLE LINE.

We print elsewhere in this mornings pa
per full synopses of the two ordinances pre-
sented to the consideration of the council
last night relating to the building of cable
lines in this city. 1t will be observed that
the two lines provided for will, when COM
pleted, constitute one continuous central
line extending from the eastern boundary
OF the city's population to its western limit
There were gratifying evidences that there
was sentiment in council in favor of the
cable line proposition as cordial as it
was unanimous. After some discussion the
ordinances were referred to the street COM
mittee to be reported back and to be acted
upon at the next meeting of council.
This was the proper thing to do,
from the fact that the members of
council desired an opportunity to
give them careful examination, and it is
also important that the people of the city
should give the matter careful attention, SO
that when the time comes to adopt the Or
dinances both council and the public will
be prepared to act intelligently. 1t is now
virtually settled that council will adopt the
ordinances with any amendments that a
careful examination of them may suggest
and the cable line seems now to be assured
beyond a reasonable doubt. 1t has come to
pass in the progress of events that city
without a cable line is away behind the
times, and st. Paul doesn't propose to
march in the rear column.

Political Notes.

The senatorial contest for the Republican
nomination in the Twenty eighth district is
narrowed down to II. G. Benton and D. NJ.
Clough. Mr.. Benton is one of the most promi-
nent attorneys in Minneapolis, while Mr..
Clough is the present president of the
city council A well-posted Republican
is authority for the statement that an under
standing was arrived at months ago, whereby
in the event that ]. I. Wyman orr. S. Gillette
should prove aspirants Mr.. Clough would en-
ter the lists, but if Mr.. Benton sought the
nomination Mr.. Clough would aid Benton.
The fight promises to be quite interesting.
A. j. Sawyer, Duluth-The Republicans
have made up their slate already. They
propose Charlemagne Tower for state senator.
and III. G. Kendall for representative.
Duluth will not be represented on the
Northern Minnesota state ticket, I think.
There is too much division. Col. Graves is
the only one having any ambition, but he is
too unpopular. Ispoke to A. J. Whiteman

THE FARMERS, KICK.

The kickers are not all confined to the
Democratic party in Minnesota this year.
The farmers of the state are elevating the
tips of their toes for the purpose of ejecting
bossism from the alliance organization.
The members of the Farmers alliance think
they discover signs of conspiracy
among some of the higher officers of
the alliance to sell the organization to
Candidate GILMAN. The result is most
vigorous kick. Farmer GILMAN is not the
kind of a granger to suit the taste of the
Minnesota sagriculturalist. 1t is not all
gold that glitters. nor is it always the case
that hayseed in the hair is the infallible
sign of a farmer. In fact there is a very
widespread opinion in the state that Mr..
GILMAN stands in with the monopolies,
and the spectacle of the president of the
Farmers alliance working the machine for
GILMAN is something that the men who do
the blowing and sowing and the reaping
will not submit to. This is a pretty indie
pendent era and the farmers may as well
display little independence as any other
class. And they are doing it.

THE BELFAST RIOTS,

The Belfast riot is an anomaly. 1t is
peculiar that in view of the recent defeat
of GLADsToNE's home rule policy all riot
Gus demonstrations in Ireland should be
confined to the principal Protestant town.
If outbreaks were to be looked for it would
be more natural to expect them in the Cath
Ole communities. In their extremity
TO defeat GLADSTONE the opposi-
ton descended to base appeal
TO the religious prejudces of the Protestant
population of Ireland in an attempt to ar
ray that element against the home rule
policy. They partially succeeded in doing
so and aroused a bitterness of feeling be-
tween the two religious elements which it
is now found difficult to suppress. The
Conservatives failed to realize that thew
were sowing to the wind and that good
sized whirlwnd would naturally follow. 1t
is now being harvested right along And an
ether popularity of it is that while the
Crangemen and the Catholics are ready to
take each other by the throat, they are also
willing TO pool their antagonislns in ma n
Hesitation of hostility to the English Off
cialS.

BLAINE'S BREAK.

There ought TO be no partisan politics in
question like the fisheries dispute with
Canada or the Mexican imbroglio. They
are questions affecting alike the welfare of
al American citizens and the dignity of
our government. and ought not to be con-
sidered from partisan standpoint nor with
regard to what effect they will have upon
The prospects of any political party OF the
aspirations of an ambitious statesman.
Secretary BAYARD is Justified in the
Tebuke he administered to Mr. BLAINE for
his attempted interference in the two great
questions which the state department is
now seeking to adjust If Mr.. BLAINE
would lend his abilities and energies toward
aiding the state department in securing a
Satisfactory settlement of the Canadian and

CANTON, OAK, Aug. 1O.-Hon. O. S.
Clifford, delegate in congress from Dakota
arrived home from Washington to-day, af-
ter an absence of eight months at his post
of duty He was met at the depot
by large number of citizens accom-
panied by the Second Regiment band and
amid the booming of cannon and the loud
and hearty welcome of the people. was
escorted to his home. A reception was
held on the grounds surrounding his house
tonight, attended by large number OF
people. Judge Carter delivered the OPEN

j. w. Taylor, NJ. E. Rudolph. C. B.
Kennedy and others. A delegation of

of the Independent came down on the even
ing train to help welcome the delegate.

man denounces certain members of con-

tident that the Hill bill will become law,
but thinks the
RESULTS OF THE FALL ELECTIONS
will influence matters either one way or the
other. The Springer and Fredercks bills
he stigmatized as corpses, and believes the
Hill bill is the one to tie to. The bill for
two additional judges for Dakota,
will, in the judges opinion, become
law early in the session. The
judge speaks quite plainly on this matter,
as some political capital was attempted to
be made by the claim that he was not fav-
orably disposed, From the three county
conventions held so far the Advocate gives
MIR. Clifford two, with the sin
gle vote in Ward county for another
candidate. The judge may be termed a
fighting candidate for denomination Heis
firm in the belief that he will win. He will
stop in Canton a week or ten days. and
during the month will visit the Black Hills,
Central Dakota and North Dakota, and
will in all probability make
red-hot campaign if any underhand work is
discovered against him. The reception to-
night was spontaneous and enthusiastic,

welcome Mr.. Clifford dwet at length on

A SENSATIONAL MURDER.
An Unknown Woman Found Dead
on the Prairie Near Chicago.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-All the available
detectives of the police department are at
work trying to ferret out a murder which
was committed near the corner of North
avenue and Fortieth street last night.
Early this morning Charles Martendale of
Hermosa, village in the town
of Jefferson, was vending his
way toward the city. He walked
across a stretch of prairie and suddenly
woman. 1t lay in pool of
blood and the grass was smeared
and stained with the red fluid.
Martendale then made closer examination
and found that the woman had been shot,
and all the evidence pointed to the fact
that she had been foully murdered.
There ewere two wounds in the
body. Martendale notified the West North
Avenue police station, and the body was
taken to the morgue. 1t was that of a
very handsome woman, possibly 80
years of age She was clothed in
brown cashmere dress, straw and
cloth slippers. The woman was five feet
six inches tall and very well-proportioned.
She was inclined to freshness, had
regular features. and her blonde hair
was worn in the Pompadour style. Her
Folsom hat was trimmed quite stylishly
with dark blue velvet and white roses.
Around the neck was a gold chain
and locket, but there was no picture
in the latter. The scene OF the tragedy is
in the almost uninhabited region lying west
of the Milwaukee 81 st. Paul rail-
road tracks, on what is known
as Crawford avenue. The body was found
about 100 feet east of the only two houses
in the neighborhood; short distance from
the body was woman'S shawl and straw
hat. There were but few signs
of struggle and the clothing
of the murdered woman was intact. One
hand tightly grasped small linen handker-
chief, stained with blood, but the
handkerchief bore no marks which
would lead to identifying the body.
Fully 100 people living at Hermosa and
Crogin were called upon to identity the re-
mains if possible. but the woman was alb
solutely unknown to them, and is
said not to have been a
resident of either village. Mrs. Stein, who
lives in one of the houses mentioned,
| heard a boys voice calling: ''Oh.
papa, STOP" This was about 10 o'clock
last night. The words were repeated
several times. Just after this four shots
were heard. fired in rapid succession. Then
| woman's voice was heard saying: MY
God, am shot" The night was quiet
one and Mrs. Stein declares she can not be
mistaken as to what she heard. No effort
was made, however, to investigate the
matter, as Mrs. Stein was alone in the house.
At late hour tonight the murdered
woman had not been identified. This
afternoon the police found note book near
the scene of the murder, which they think
gives them a clue to the murder.

NO SUCCESSOR.

If JOHN KELLY or HUBERT 0. THoMP-
SON left a mantle at death it has failed to
descend upon the shoulders of a prophet.
Whether these two eminent political bosses
died mantleIess or whether there is no
prophet worthy to wear the garment, it is a
singular fact that none has yet risen up
with claim of successorship. Tammany
and the County Democracy are to-day with
out a leadership. 1t is said there are
number of local New York politicians
ambitious to grasp the wands which fell
from the hands of KELLY and THOMPSON
when they died. but none of them nave de-
veloped strength enough to attain the oD-
ject of their ambition. 1t is really PROB
lem in the minds of New York people
whether either of the two noted Democratic
factions will ever again be power i'll New
York politics. For short time it looked as
if RoLLIN M. SQUIRE and MAURICE Is.
FLYNN were to wear the shoes that KELLY
and THOMPSON had worn. But they wrote
letters and that killed them as bosses. A
boss is man who never commits anything
to paper. He keeps his c0unsels in his own
breast. And SO it is that TAMMANY and
the CountyD emocracy are fioundering along
like ships lost in fog, with the possibility
of never reaching port. The conditions are
not favorable to bossism in New York.
While it is true that KELLY and THoMP-
SON elevated themselves to the positions
they held largely by the strength OF their
genius, it is also true that conditions favor
able to their elevation existed in New York
politics then which do not exist now.
There has been wonderful publication of
the political atmosphere in the me-
tropolls. The control of patronage
is not the great lever that it was once.
The prosecution and conviction of the
Doodle aldermen has had tendency to
relax the grip of bossism. And there is a
general feeling prevailing in the country
that the days of political bossism are ended.
There will be parties and factions and
party organization and party machinery,
but the one-man power business is getting
slack
