The G. A. R. Visitors to Sam Fran
cisco Unable to Get Enough to Eat.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-The men,
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic
encampment here paraded to-day. Eleven
thousand men were iii line, and the process
sion was viewed by $50. 600 people. AS the
procession was going up Market street the
carriage in which Gen. Sherman was seated
was suddenly attacked by six handsomely
dressed yonng ladies armed with baskets of
flowers, who, with ringing cheers and
laughter, opened fire on the general,
pelting him with roses. The general
gracefully raised his hat and amid the
cheers of the spectators bowed repeatedly
in acknowledgment of his defeat. One I'M
expected result of the procession and which
was very serious to many was the rush to
the restaurants Immediately the parade was
over. Three hundred thousand people in
Guiding visitors had been standing from s
o'clock to twenty minutes to without eat
ing. AS soon as the cry went up Its all
over" the half-fam1shed beings rushed to
the restaurants and so great was the crush
that within five minutes the proprietors
had to lock the doors. Several cases of
women fainting from hunger and fatigue
are reported. InOSe WHO udu W
wait until the first rush was over made a
descent on the bakeries and street fruit
stands and cleared up everything in sight.
To make matters worse most of the large
restaurants, although having laid in large
supplies, ran out of both bread and meat,
and as the markets were closed it was found
impossible to replenish their larders. All
sorts of devices were resorted to and with
such success that everyone managed to get
something. AS the day was delightfully."-
cool no accidents from heat have been re-
ported.

THE FODDER QUESTION,

An intelligent and observing correspond
ent writes the GLOBE from Point Douglas,
Mimi, calling attention to the woful waste
of hay, corn fodder and other food ma
terials which is practiced by the farmers of
this state. This negligence has been due
largely to the fact that the Northwest has
hitherto been grain growing country al
most to the exclusion of stock growing.
The fodder question has been, therefore. one
of relatively little Importance. In
late years, however, stock raising,
and consequently stock feeding, have
become matters of considerable Importance,
especially in Minnesota. With the estab-
lishment of st. PauFs cattle market. he
question of feeding will be of even greater
interest. But, as the correspondent shows,
so slack have been the methods hitherto
pursued by the farmers that when, as now,
necessity exists for the preservation of
all the food products possible, the habit
| of waste has become almost second nature
| Grass is allowed to stand until it is over
ripe, and the rain and sun take all
nourishment from it before it is cut Corn
stalks, too, are not accorded the consider
ton they deserve If properly secured
they would be worth more per ton than
hay, and stock could be nouri shed in a
cheap and excellent manner. the loss on
grain when it occurred being thus made up
on stock. The proper way, the corr espond-
ent thinks, to obtain the greatest benefit
from the food products, would be through
the establishment of silos, comparatively
unknown as yet in the West. Experience
with them in the East has demonstrated
their entire practicability and desirablity.
In Minnesota particularly, with her long
winters, the slo would be an Invaluable
institution, and as 1t becomes more and
more of stock-growing state the silos
necessity, through its capability for fur
nishing an abundant supply of food at any
time, will become apparent to every far

other Western congressman from worship
ping at the shrine of our dairy queen.
1t is barely possible that the oleomarga-
rine leaders have not calculated the diff
Guilty of the task they undertake when they
attempt to dethrone the cow in Minnesota.
The cow is a very powerful element in this
state. There is no part of our beautiful
prairies where her mellow lowing is not
heard at the soft eventide. To get down
to solid statistics, there are in even
numbers just 359,716 cows in Min
nesota and every bovine beauty of
them looks upon Mr.. WHITE as their
special champion. Of the whole number
of COWS in Minnesota 69.622 dwell in Mr..
WHITES district, and are distributed among
the counties of the First congressional dis
trict as follows: Dodge, 6,s4S; Fillmore,
3,791; Freeborn, 9.613; Houston, 1929;
Mower, 1851; Olmsted, 1881; Steele,
$3.50; Wabasha, .157, and Winona 1880.
1t will be seen at a glance that Mr..
ARMOUR stirred up a hornets nest when he
raised the cow issue against Mr..
WHITE. He might be able to lay
out candidate in Chicago on
such an issue, but it is no easy task to do ii
in butter making district of Minnesota.
MI. WHITE goes into the canvass with
20, 600 cows at his back believing for his
denomination, and if he is defeated it will
have to be on some other issue. An axle
grease substitute-for-butter canvass won't
work in this part of the moral vineyard.
The voters of the First district will stand by
their COW until her horns freeze off. And
they are right about it.

Few of those couples who stand in their

HnAR,S WALL.

Mr.. HoAR tried very hard to raise a
racket in the senate yesterday by a feeble
attempt to faunt the bloody shirt, but failed
so sgnally that he evidently felt ashamed
of himself. Poor old Senator HoAR is a
fossil. He belongs to past age He is of
that type of statesmen who are classed as
Bourbons-who never learn anything nor
forget anything. He is incapable of keep
ing up with the march of progress, and as
he lags away in the rear the old mans
feeble voice is now and then heard in the
distance yelling out something about things
which have long ago been forgotten. What
the great state of Massachusetts wants to
do Is to awaken to the fact that this country
is now twenty-one years away from the
war, and if she expects to keep pace with
this progressive age, she will have to put
younger and more progressive men in the
senate.

PURE CUSSEDNESS.

The GLOBE has taken the liberty on sew
eral occasions to speak its mind freely re-
garding the inefficient service rendered by
the Western Union Telegraph company in
handling the Associated Press and special
dispatches, and particularly with reference
to its Northwestern service. The GLOBE
has said nothing but what was absolutely
true and could be verified at any time.
When the attention of the management
was respectfully called to the troubles which
existed, instead of directing an investi-
cation and making an effort to reform its
defective system, the managers of the West
ern department contented themselves with
broadside denial of all the allegations and
let things run ahead in the same lax way.
Then, again, when the GLOBE produced
and published the evidence of the partial
ity and favoritism displayed by the local
Office in the matter of handling dispatches,
the Western Union management not only
refused to take notice of the facts, but alb
solutely lent its Endorsement to this dis
graceful state of affairs. And now, to cap
the climax of its cussedness, for we
know no more appropriate term to apply
to such conduct, it displays most re-
vengeful and cowardly spirit by taking
its spite out on an innocent employe
whose sole offense was that he was en-
gagged in night work on the GLOBES special
wire. Mr.. IGoE, the discharged employe,
is a capable operator and faithful man,
and was no more responsible for the
GLOBES publications than the man in the
moon. In fact, only few days ago Supt
McMichael and Manager Hughes were at
the GLOBE Office and stated that Mr.. 1goe's
work was eminently satisfactory to
them. But the Western Union manager
wanted a victim upon whom he could
shower his wrath, and poor IGoE
was selected. The management did
not have the courage to face the GLOBE
directly, nor did it have the quality of man
illness to make an honest investigation of
charges which the GLOBE preferred against
it. 1t preferred to resort to more cow
ardly method of wreaking its revenge on
a helpless and innocent victim. The reason
why it did so is plain enough. 1t does not
dare to face the GLOBE nor to submit to an
investigation. Its action in the premises is
a confession of guilt The GLoRE has nc
favors to. ask nor give in its dealings with
and it intends to have all it pays for. We
mean it.

A GOOD CROP.

1t is now pretty well understood that the
stories about the failure of the Northwest
ern wheat crop were wonderfully exagger-
ated. and most probably set afloat by the
grain spectators. The wheat crop in
Minnesota will be nearly, if not quite, up to
the average. Along the Minnesota valley
it is particularly fine. In some parts of
Dakota. along the Red River valley, there
was more or less damage to the crop from
the dry weather, but nothing like failure.
Outside of the Red river section, and par
ticularly in Southeast Dakota, the crops of
all kinds are excellent. The shortage
throughout the Northwest will not be
enough to affect the grain market to any
extent, nor will it be in the least discourag-
ing to our Northwestern farmers.

A COW CAMPAIGN.

The cow promises to be the most exciting
issue in politics this year. The passage of
the oleomargarine bill by congress has
excited the ire of the people who believe
that axle grease is good enough for butter.
and they are now on the war path, hunting
for the scalps of congressman who voted
for the bill. Mr.. PHILIP ARMOUR of Chi
cago is at the head of the axle
grease-butter manufacturing combina-
ton and it is reported that he
has expressed willingness to put up a
good deal of stuff to help in comprising the
defeat of the members Of congress who ex-
pressed preference for cow butter as
against rancid hog fat. The taste of these
statesmen is entirely too esthetic to please
the proprietors of soap factories, and the
decree has gone forth that they must be
punished. Every state in the Union
from Maine to Texas has been invaded
by the agents of refuse oil establish
ments, who are busily at work set
ting up the pins for the various congress
Sional conventions, with view of defeat
ing the butter-eating representatives. The
passage of the Oleomargarine bill is a seri-
GUS blow to Mr.. ARMoUR'S interests. In
his large meat packing establishments there
refuse grease. When it is made into soap
he can only realize from 2 to g
cents on the pound for it. But where,
by subjecting it to an expensive chemical
process, heIcan put it up in neat looking
boxes, brand it Glover Farm Creamery
Butter and sell it for from 25 to 35 cents a
pound, it is perceptible at a glance what
disaster the oleomargarine law brings upon
the meat packer.
The cow issueis being forced into Mime
sofa politics and is likely to play
an important part in the campaign.
The particular Minnesota congressman
who has been selected as the special victim
to fall before the wrath of the axle-grease
people is Mr.. MILO WHITE of the First dis
trict. Mr.. WHITE is the representative OF
cow-Owning constituency, and when
called upon to cast his vote on the oleo.
margarine bill in congress he stood I'D like
little man and voted for cow butter.
Neither threats nor cajoling, nor the gilt.
tering temptations which the owners Of
axle grease factories knew how to hold up tC
the view of congressman, could swerve Mr..
WHITE from his loyalty to the Minnesota
cow. he stuck to her through thick and
thin. and helped to carry the horned god
dess of Minnesota pastures to a glorious
victory. Now, in a spirit of retaliation,
the oleomargarine folks propose to make a
horrible example of Mr.. WHITE. They
swear by all the gods at once, that they
intend to cut his head off right up to the
shoulders. They want to make an example
of him so horrible that it will forever deter

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.

Contrary to all expectation. the river and
harbor bill went through both houses Of
congress ON the limited express last evening.
1t took it a long time to get start, but
when it did go it went whooping. The
Hennepin canal and its associates went un-
der. but the rivers and harbors got there in
good shape. The Northwest got good
slice of the appropriations. Minnesota, Da-
kota and Wisconsin have no reason to
grumble. There is no section of the coun-
try which stood in greater need of govern
ment aid than ours, and it is gratifying to
observe that we are getting recognition at
last. The waterways convention held in
this city last fall is bearing fruit The gods

JERSEY CATTLE.

England is either suffering from great
agricultural depression or the English esti-
mate of the Jersey cattle is lowered. AT
the big sale of Jerseys at the Blythewood
farm, thirty miles from London, last Satur-
day, the total for fifty-three Jersey animals
realized $500, being an average only of
$163 each. The sale was attended by all
the famous English cattle dealers, including
the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of
Warwick, Lord BURKE and other aristo-
cratic breeders of dairy stock. The absence
OF any United States dealers was noted and
accounted for upon the supposition that
they bought direct from the island of Jer-
sey. The most liberal bidder was the
Duke of Marlborough, who is now selling
off his fine collection of pictures to pay his
debts. But in no case did the prices rise
to what is called high, or up to anything
like the bids at previous sales. The herd
is admitted to be as highly bred as any in
England.

A DAY OF CELEBRATION
The ladies of the jackson street church
had assumed charge of all refreshments,
and in the forenoon a string of wagons
drove up to the house and unloaded tables,
chairs and innumerable baskets of pro-
visions. A large awning had been stretched
in the yard for shade and smaller one
formed porch beside the house. Friends
began to arrive before noon and during the
afternoon large party was in attend
ance. The social festivities were continued
during the evening. In the afternoon
the whole company was photographed on
the lawn. The church friends of MI. and
Mrs. Elliott had planned to decrease mort
gage of $500 on their home as celebration
of the anniversary and raised a large
amount toward it. All of the children with
goodly number of grandchildren partook
in the golden anniversary, and among
