WHAT NEED OF ANAyYs

In view of the fact that thoroughly
satisfactory trial has been recently made of
q submarine torpedo boat, invented by an
American, it would seem that this country
need not be in any great rush about build
ing a navy. The wonderful submarine
vessel which. it is claimed, will revOlutionize
the naval fighting of the world, is capable
of defying the strongest navies that float.
1t may be submerged and propelled under
water for hours, while its course can be as
well directed as though it was floating on
the surface. The tests have demonstrated
that the crew of four or five men can,
with the utmost ease, sink the little boat.
glide noiseessly through the water, afix
torpedo to the bottom of a menacing iron
clad, glide away again 10 place Of safety,
and by means of electricity blow the
man of war to kingdom come before its
crew have any idea that an enemy is in the
neighborhood. With such formidable means
of offense and defense the country doesn't
need much of a navy. She can, with per-
feet equanimity, observe other governments
squandering immense sums of money in
building cumbersome ships of war. while
she rests at ease in the conscious
ness that however much they may
hammer each other the United States pos
sess little engine of war which would
render any one of their great navies per-
fectly powerless. Thus, while it may be
well enough to keep up sufficient naval
organization to serve as nucleus in time
of war, and to build a sufficient num-
Der of ships to furnish transport
service and to perform other In
cidental naval duties, there is
no necessity for keeping up the same ex-
pensive establishments which other coun-
tries require. Appropriately enough, the
name of the remarkable little vessel which
makes possible this comfortable state of
affairs is the ''Peacemaker." and that her
deadliness in action will render her well
worthy the name, the trials recently made
give ample testimony.

MAYOR RICE,s NoMINAT1oN.

1t was a great convention and grand
nomination. Such, in brief, is truthful
summary of the Democratic congressional
convention which assembled in Minneapolis
Yesterday and placed Hon. EDMUND RICE
in nomination as the Democratic candidate
for congress in the Fourth district. Never
in the history of Minnesota politics has
there been a political aSsemblage which
eoualled Yesterdays convention in the Wis
dom and sincerity Of its action and the
genuineness of its enthusiasm. The In
fiuence of that convention will go out all
over this district and all over the state to
inspire the people with the determination
to rise in open revolt against the machine
in politics which is represented by the Re-
publican nominees.
Of the nominee of yesterdays convention
nothing can be said that is not already
known to the people of this district. There
is not man better known to the people of
Minnesota than EDMUND RICE. He is
part of the history of the state. His life
is an open book which has been read by
all of his fellow citizens. From the birth
of the state down to the present day there
has not been an important event in the de-
yelopment of Minnesota with which Ed
MUND RICE has not been identified. He
was the father of the great railway system
of this state. AS was stated by an eminent
gentleman in yesterdays convention, Mr..
RICE sowed the seed of our railway sys-
TEN, he has cultivated the crop, but has
never reaped the harvest He has never
been actuated by other than the purest and
most patriotic motives. His energies and
abilities have been directed toward develop
ing and contributing toward the growth of
the state, yet he has never taken advantage
of his Identification with its growth and
progress to add to his Individual fortune.
His wealth consists in the honorable
name he has acquired by his I'M
selfish devotion to his state, and in the
great worth and goodness of his character.
No nobler, kindlier, purer nature ever
adorned the annals Of a state. His record
is as pure as snow. The gentleman sans
peur ct sans reproche, the Chevalier BAY
ARD of public and private life, EDMUND
RICE is too noble to even be suspected of
ever having done wrong act. Such is the
man whom the Democrats of this district
have nominated as their candidate for con-
gress. When elected he will be the repre-
sentative of the people, and not the attor-
ney OF agent of land syndicates and rings.
He ear will always be open to the appeals
of the humblest of his constituents, and his
services will be devoted to the interests of
his district

Pointer For Cn,,,n, Listener.

To the Editor of the Globe:
In the Pioneer Press of to-day, under the
caption of "Voices of the Street," and over
the nom de plume OF 'The Casual Listener"
1 find the following brilliant effusion:
There is bright young in st. Paul whose
employer is active in politics. The young man
shares his employers political views, and they are
enthusiastic in their support of DR.. Ames. The
employer has become more or less prominent.
The young man is quiet, but he does very effective
work at the polls. Now, the remarkable thing
about this young man is that he is prominent in
church circles, and in a denomination, too, which
is thought to be the most exscting among the
Protestauts. | do not know how other people re-
gard it, but cannot quite understand how man
should delight in church work and Mayor Aaes
at the same time.
1t occurs to me that the 'Casual
Listener is at the same time q casual
reader and casual thinker. otherwise he
would have learned, long before this, that
good men may, and often do, honestly differ
about politics and religion. And what posi-
bic interest is it to the public to be informed
by him of this one thing which he cannot
quite understand? Tho readers of the Pioneer
Press are to be congratulated that he did not
undertake TO inform them of all the things
which he does not ''quite understand The
list, no doubt, would be q long and tedious
one, and painful inflictiop upon innocent
readers. If q man is a ''chump" land l use
the word for its expressiveness and not for
its elegance), no objection rests on him to
rush into print to make it known to the pub
tic. would modestly suggest to the Casual
Listener land, as | do not know who he Is.
there is nothing personal in what l write),
that his newspaper efforts would carry more
weight, and be of more interest to the gen.
eral reader, if he would confine himself to
subjects which he can understand, rather
than to write about matters which he admits
he ''cauuot quite understand BETA.

Organize.

To the Editor OF the Globe:
The time has arrived when Democrats
must see the necessity of thorough organiza-
ton. Organized Organize is the word. DEM
ocrats, form Ames clubs in your respective
towns; attend these meetings and show to
your opponents that you are still power in
Minnesota. Such associations are the means
by which the effort so many are ready to
make shall be directed and made
most successful, and by which the
interest in the gubernatorial struggle is
localized and brought directly home to almost
ever elector. The club organization Is the
nucleus around which gather the immediate
strength of party and the results it is able
to accomplish, when sufficiently energetic,
are OF the utmost Importance. Therefore,
let the Democracy organize these clubs in
every school district, township and county in
Minnesota and employ the sinews of strength
in the campaign; hold frequent meetings.;
interest the lukewarm; embOlden the timid !;
make energetic the Indifferent, and then
bring out the full Democratic vote to secure
the victory in November. S.

The enterprising Mr.. Holland boasts-no
doubt with juStice-of the human curiosi-
ties he has introduced IN this country
though we doubt whether the metropolitan
sightseer really cares for these morbid dis
plays which are advertised as attractions.
However, the constant supply shows that a
demand exists somewhere. though America
is, of course, the best market for monstros-
tiles, and Mr.. Barnum has a far extending
network of agents who are quick to snap
up a prodigy. Mr. Holland-who has been
called the English Barnum-has secured a
giant baby, which is probably too young to
have been on a tour. He calls it great
novelty. and the medicos have pronounced
it to be most wonderful specimen of hui
manity. However, the dimensions speak
for themselves. The baby giant weighs 50
pounds. stands feet high, measures sc
inches round the chest, is eleven months old
and halls from SomerSetshire.

Virginia New Enterprise.
The shining metallic incrustation found
upon the teeth of some of the cattle which
are pastured along the banks of the Carson
river has been popularity pronounced to be
a coating of gold and silver deposited upon
the teeth from the mineral impregnation OF
the water and grass, attracted through the
magnetic action of the animals body.
Some of the bullion incrustati0n or deposit
was submitted recently to Prof. F. E.
Fielding, chief assayer at the Consolidated
California and Virginia assay Office in this
city. Upon critical analysis of the
material he pronounces it to be pure
calcium sulphide, with not the least trace
of either gold, silver or quicksilver. Thus
another hopeful delusion is dispelled. and
the contemplated source of revenue from
scraping the animals teeth periodically
rendered useless and worthless.

THE TIDAL WAVE.

1t isa tidal wave There is no mistake
about it. AS Senator DURANT said in his
speech Yesterday there are all the appear
ances of such an irresistible sweep of the
Democratic tidal wave in Minnesota this
year as swept over New 7 ork in 1882. which
carried GROVER CLEVELAND into the exec
utive chair of the empire state. Democratic
victory is in the air. Democrats feel its
coming and rejoice. Republicans feel it
and stand aghast There are times when
it becomes necessary for the people to burst
the bonds of party allegiance and arise in
their might and majesty to rebuke the cor
rupt methods of the political bosses. Ever y
thing indicates that the time has come
for political upheaval in Minnesota. The
tyranny Of the Republican rings is no
longer tolerable. Their annoyance has worn
out the patience of the people. And their
corrupt methods have disguised the better
element of the Republican party. 1t is now
apparent that there is to be no relief from
ring domination except by the overthrow of
the Republican party in this state. The
result of ring domination in this state is
Just the same as it was in New York under
Republican rule. The Republican party is
resolved into party of warning factions,
all contending with the ferocity of wild
beasts for the loaves and fishes that are in
sight. Such spectacle inspires the great
body of the people and taxpayers with dis
gust They are now determined to put an
end to this disgraceful scramble for Office,
and are falling into line under the Demo-
cratic banner as the only possible chance
to secure reform. They are coming by
the hundreds and by the thousands. That
is what inspires the Democratic heart with
the confidence of success and fills the air
with the fragrant odor of victory. 1t is a
tidal wave and is riding high.

Because he is brother in the profession
and clever, good fellow in social way,
we would feel like congratulating Editor
HERBERT on his luck in securing the con
gressional nomination if it were not for the
fact that we believe it will be the means of
subjecting him to most humiliating defeat.
In view of this fact we feel more inclined
to extend to him our sympathieS, and this
inclination is intensified after reading the
editorial in yesterdays Pioneer Press. If
ever poor candidate got cold water
poured down his back, chilling him to the
very marrow, Candidate HERBERT got
it from his party organ. Mr.. HERBERT
selected a bad year to run for congress.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Capt. e. Hatfensaur Lost Ezis House
and Furniture, But Saved His
Life.
The the two-and a-half story frame dwell
ing at the corner of Eaton avenue and
Dearborn street, West st. Paul. was totally
destroyed by fire this morning at o'clock.
The building was occupied by Capt. E.
Hattensaur, who had but recently moved
into the house. The captain lost all his
furniture and came near losing his life.
He was asleep in the second story OF the
house, and was awakened by the smoke,
which nearly stifed him. Without waiting
to dress, he put on heavy coat and, as
escape by the stairway was shut Off. he
jumped from the window. He estimates
his loss at $4,000, with an insurance OF
81, 500. The house, owned by II. Hornsby,
was insured for SO, 600, and was valued at
So, 500. Owing to the long distance from
the nearest cistern, no water was put ON
the fire, the building being burned down
before hose could be laid to the spot.

candidates will then all be In the field, and
the battle will be on. The Democrats have
made such splendid nominations up to date,
that there is no apprehension that the
Chaska convention will be an exception.
The Third district Democrats have their
eye on man whose ability and integrity of
character will assure his election, and his
nomination is conceded. We confidently
expect the same degree of harmony and
enthusiasm at Chaska to-day which have
marked all the Democratic gatherings this
year. This is essentially the year of DEM
