OPPRESSED FARMERS.

In the opening address before the farm
ers' congress yesterday Col BEVERLY
made a very strong presentation of the
farmers cause, and of the burthens which
he is compelled to bear. The facts as
stated in the address are patent enough.
Everybody knows that agriculture is the
most oppressed of all the industries and
yet the farmer has no one to blame but
himself for this condition of things. The
farmer is a manacled giant who has the
Strength to burst the bonds that encircle
him, but lacks the courage to do it. AS
long as he submits to be ridden by political
bosses he can rest assured that the bosses
will ride him. We have striking Illus
tration of this fact right here in Mime
sofa. Take the First congressional dis
trlct, for instance, where Mr.. Milo WHITE
was peculiarly the champion of the farm
ers' interests in congress. Mr.. WHITE
represents one of the finest agricul-
tural sections in the United States and yet
he was beaten for the nomination in Re-
publican convention, simply because he had
been the champion of agricultural interests.
When such things are done in a district
where the agricultural interests not only
predominant, but almost exclusively pre-
vail, what prospect have the farmers for
ever getting control of the national govern
ment? The only way that it can be done
is by the display of more independence than
has ever yet been manifested by the tillers
of the soil. The singular spectacle is wit
messed here III Minnesota of Farmers al
lance, protesting to be non partisan body,
yet organized for political purposes in pro-
lection of the agricultural interests, and yet
the principal officers of that organization
are to-day trayersing the state at
tending partisan political conventions and
whooping up the monopoly candidate for
the Republican nomination for governor.
The sight of such things has tendency to
discourage the belief that the farmers will
ever relieve themselves from the lowlands
of oppressiOn unless they manifest more
independence in the future than they have
in the past,

MIR. BLAINE,S SPEECH.

1t must be very gratifying to Mr..
BLAINE Bipartisan friends to observe that
their leader still retains SO much of the fire
and vigor of former days. There was a
freshness and positiyeness about his speech
formally opening the Republican campaign
III Maine which must be discouraging to
the other Republican aspirants for the
presidential nomination VINO had hoped
that the Plumed Knight had been tucked
away in his little political bed to sleep for
ever. There are two distinctive features
which are made prominent in the speech
one is the platform upon which the Repub-
lican party must stand in the next national
canvass, and the other is that Mr.. BLAINE
proposes to be the color bearer
the second time. The platform which
Mr.. BLAINE constructs for his
party is positive declaration. 1t favors
prohibition, protection and the twisting OF
the lions tail. Mr.. BLAINE has planted
his party on this platform and leaves no
room to dodge the issues. He has burned
the bridges in his rear and proposes to win
or accept an eternal defeat on these three
distinctive planks. 1t is bold move on the
part of the great Republican leader, but it
is characteristic OF him. MI. BLAINE is
nothing if not sensational. He strikes for
dramatic effect and generally succeeds in
producing it. In doing so in the present
instance he has dumfounded his party.
The rank and file will halt and hesitate be-
fore following his leadership on such line
as he has marked out. But the hest
tation will not be of long duration.
They will be whipped into line and by the
time the Republican national convention is
held Mr.. BLAINE will have the nomination
well in hand. He understands very well
that he has a great deal at stake in the
Maine campaign. He knows that the
treacherouS hands of EDMUNDs and
EvARTs and LOGAN and other aspiring
leaders OF his party are at his throat. He
understands perfectly well that his COM
petitors would rejoice over a Republican
defeat in Maine for the simple reason that
they would regard it as nail in Mr.
BLAINE's coffin. Therefore he throws his
whole soul into the state canvass. While
he is ostensibly making it warm for the
Democrats, he is in reality waxing his COM
petitors for the Republican nomination. If
he wins in the state canvass it will carry
him into the presidential nomination almost
beyond the shadow of doubt. If he fails
j! will emily arouse him to new exertions.
That is BLAINE's way. He is to-day the
most irrepresSible as he is the boldest and
most brilliant of the Republican leaders.

BLAINE OF NJ AINE.
He Has Little Use for the Prohibit

tAOMlsts anu EAnBS mtS On LABOR
NORTH BERWICK, Me-, Aug. 25.-Mr
Blaine made the second speech of the cam
paign here to-day. He twitted the
Prohibitionists of inconsistency and
of ingratitude toward the Re-
publican party which had given the state
all the prohibition legislation it ever had.
The Prohibitionists did not expect to elect
anybody of their own party, they could
only defeat Republicans. Mr. Blaine there
fore asked:
Is any gentleman here willing to take the
responsibility of saying in his judgment that
it will promote the cause of prohibition IN
Maine to strike down the brilliant leader of
the house who now represents this district"
[Great applause. Mr.. Blaine said then, we
have another dlversion-The labor party.
Is there any member of a labor organization
here, or elsewhere in Maine, willing to say
that the cause of labor is to be promoted
by sending Cliggord to congress instead
of Reed. Passing to the fisheries question
Mr.. Blaine said: Canada is in very peculiar
position. She wants to enjoy the pride and
sentiment of belonging to the British empire,
and to pocket the profit and advantage
of having the American market at the same
time. We don't think that fair MIR. Blaine
read an extract from the late treaty with
Canada, showing by its terms that the United
States were placed at great Disadvantage.

FEATURES OF THE SESSION.
Special to the Globe.
COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 25.-The Repub-
licans had big convention, not only in
attendance but also in enthusiasm, which
bordered on the noisy order. The plat
form was as anticipated. distinguished for
strong protective tariff with special atten-
ton to wool and denunciation of recent
election frauds and the whitewash of
Payne. Local optionists could not get the
party to go further than taxation of the
traffic although there was desperate con-
test for local option in the committee on
resolutions. The feature of the convention
was the cheering of the piumed knights
name. Mention of Blaines name brought
down the house more than that of Sherman,
ForakerS reception and all else combined.
There was no resolution offered to censure
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, but the
Hamilton county delegation cast it's sixty
eighth vote solid for Joseph Cox for SUI
preme judge against the warning of the
paper, and Marshall j. Williams was nomi-
mated over him by only four votes. This
caused some bad blood, and complicated the
other nominations.

YOUNG GoULD,s PROTEST.

Young Mr.. GOULD continues to be very
indignant over the reports that he went to
England for the purpose of seeing Miss
EDITH KINGDOM, talented actress III
DALY's company, and that he will event
u&ily marry her, if indeed a secret mar
rage did not take place i'll London. 1t is
very difficult to see just where The basis of
Mr.. GoULD's indignation lies. If ne OBJ
jects TO the careless using by the public
press of the name of lady who, from all
accounts, Is we'll educated. refined and in
every way entitled to respect, and if he
goes upon the supposition that any love-
making between himself and the charming
young actress is matter which concerns
them alone, then it must be admitted that
the young millionaire's protest is well
founded. But if Mr. GOULD is Directing
from the standpoint that possible alliance
between himself and the lady is an absurdity
to which he would not think of condescend-
ing and which would be quite beneath the
notice Of the heir to untold millions. then
the young man is deserving of no mercy at
the hands of the press. Miss KING

PLUCK BEATS DIPLOMACY.

While it was Secretary BAYARD's mis-
fortune to have his lack of knowledge on
international law exposed by his manage
ment of the CUTTING case, nevertheless it
is gratifying to know that the secretary's
pluck more than compensated for his ignor-
ance. AS soon as the state department ruff
fled its back the Mexican courts found a
loop hole for OUTINGS escape. 1t is true
that the Mexican, counts found refuge I'M
der technical plea in releasing CUTTING,
but they would not have been driven to this
device if our state department had not
manifested plucky disposition. In nine
cases out of ten an ounce of pluck is worth
more in the settlement of international dis
putes than all the law books that were ever
written. Under the circumstances the peo-
pie will readily forgive Secretary BAYARD's
lack of knowledge on International law.
If the secretary of state will now proceed
to settle the Canadian fishery troubles in the
same off-hand way that he disposed of the
Mexican squabble the country will stand by
him. An ounce of pluck is worth ton of
legal knowledge in the settlement of inter-
national disputes.

Prof. NacGinnis Discusses Storms
and the signal Service.

ana the signal Service.
President Beverly raped the evening
session to order at $50 o'clock, when the
treasurer of the congress, j. 8. Conner of
Indianapolis, read paper on Commercial
and Social Statistics" One of the points
he sought to show was that the landed sys-
tenn OF the country. without entail and it's
small ratio of illiteracy. were the basis of
this country's prosperity. d. R. McGin-
MS, officer OF the signal service, and in
charge OF the Minnesota service recently
established by the government, addressed
the congress on meteorology.
He explained the general laws of storms
gong from west to east as basis of all gem
eral storm predictions. according to the signal
service, that tornadoes Invariably occurred
on the south and west border of the storm
area, He said that by law the signal service
was limited to 500 operators, which was a
very inadequate number for the millions of
miles of area of this country While single
storm prediction had saved many lives and
millions of dollars, the seaboard was pro-
tected for the benefit of foreign bottoms our
ships having been protected Off the sea.
The question of increased utility of the
signal service was discussed by Flemm ing
Sanders of Virginia, and by President
Beverly. who placed the subject as being
only second in importance of all before the
congress, the first being department of
agriculture. An accurate account, he said,

for two successive seasons and found that
W per cent OF all the signal service pre-
dlctOns were true.
The reading clerk, Mr.. Hill. read an
essay on schools for the education of farm

CADET JOHNSON.

There seems to be some feeling mani
tested in some quarters because Cadet AR
THUR JOHNSON of this state was not grad
uated with his class last June. This was
due to his own indscretion in engaging in
a row with another cadet, for which he
was tried by court-martial and sentenced
to confinement within the cadet limits until
Aug. IS. Then again he desired to enter
cavalry regiment, which was refused.
JOHNSON stood 81 in class of II. There
were, therefore, 60 entitled to choice be-
fore him. Out of that number there were
more applicants for places in the cavalry
than there were vacancies. If vacancies

powerful in politics, and to be equal to their
work they must be able to grapple with the
situation. He thought this conference might
conclude that the farmers need something
more than agricultural colleges, although
they do well as Far as they go.
MI. Knappe of Louisiana, who is at work
for company OF that state in retaining
marsh lands for cultivation, spoke at some
length. He did not believe in the whole
sale attack on agricultural colleges. In
Dartmouth the agricultural students were
called ''Dungies," and such was the effect
of sarcasm and ridicule that agricultural
students could not stand it in the classical
colleges. The only remedy was the COM
plete separation of the agricultural college
from the classical institution.

Boston. Aug. 25.-To-day Joseph
Frowle, an old negro who keeps small
fruit store, went to the police station with
his son. under IA years old. He charged
the boy with attempting to kill him by poi
son. The boy admitted it, boosted of his
attempt. and said he was sorry it didn't

times for several weeks. Finally the boy
admitted the poisoning. He said he had
administered rat poison on his fathers
bread and chewing gum. The boy said he
was instigated to do the deed by woman
he refused to name who had a grudge
against his father. Frowle says the boy is
such a liar he can't be believed, and his mo-
tive was probably pique at being punished
for stealing his fathers cash. The boy
was put in jail. The doctors say Frowcle

people of Mapleton were not so
forgiving, and while all three were

home with ancient eggs. and an indignant
Irishman gave him black eye. But they
all came to Fargo this evening, and the
