PACKERS, STRIKE ENDED.

The packers strike in Chicago is at last at
an end, and it has ended with considerable
cost to both sides. The workmen have lost
large amount in wages which they could
ill afford to lose, and the employers have
been retarded in their efforts to keep pace
with their extensive business. The men re-
turning to work without conditions, virtually
concede their position to have been wrongly
taken and find themselves just where they
were when the strike began, minus the
money they would have been paid had they
remained continuously at work. Had arbi-
tration been resortcd to, both annoyance
and cost would have been avoided, and il
nothing had been accomplished by that
means, at least as much would
have been done as the strike
has brought about. The lesson is
one which the striking switchmen might
well take to heart, and which Mr.. Pow
Derby himself has so frequently taught,
that strikes are senseless. costly and inef
fectiye. and that they more frequently de-
feat than secure the objects for which they
are inaugurated. The tendency of the age
is toward arbitration as means of settling
disputes of all kinds and in labor difficult
ties especially is it advantageous if not i'm
perative. The sooner both employers and
employed recognize this fact the better will
it be for society at large.

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

If anybody had any doubt as to the high
degree of enthusiasm which prevails among
the Ramsey county Democracy, the meet
ing at Pfeifer's hall last night removed the
doubt. The meeting was a glorious sue
cess in every particular. The only mistake
made was in not securing a hall
large enough to accommodate the crowd
The house was packed until there was not
standing room, or scarcely breathing room,
and hundreds were compelled to go
away without being able to gain
admission. The speeches were ringing
enunciations of Democratic principles and
urgent and eloquent appeals for Demo
cratic unity and harmony. The thunders of
applause which went up from the vast audi
ence were the best evidences of the temper
of our local Democracy. They are in har
ness and eager for the battle. There will be
a solid Democratic column in Ramsey
county on election day. and the Democratic
ticket is going to be voted straight. There
is going to be no faltering or waverlng of
the lines. AMEs, RICE and the county
ticket are going through with majority
that will appall the opposition. Let the
tidal wave roll on.

ALL Is QUIET.



work. The Manitoba had forty or fifty
ready to commence if they could be sure of
being protected. Many men who wanted
to go to work did not dare to for the reason
that they had been threatened that if they
did they would have their heads broke.
Up to the present time he said, no dele
CATION or body of men had been
to the road and asked for raise
of wages. No proposition of any
kind had been submitted. All was quiet,
when some one came into the yards and
told the men they must quit. The Gould
lines, after the strike, refused to take back
the strikers, and they have gone to other
parts of the country, some to Chicago and
some came to st. Paul and Minneapolis and
are stirring up trouble. P. Ii. Kelly
favored the resolutions and opposed the
suggestion that committee be appointed
to have a conference with the railroad COM
panies in regard to the pay of the work
men. He would like to see such commit
tee come to his place of business to dictate
to him what he should pay his employees.
He would show them the door very quick.
Gen. Bishop opposed arbitration. There
was nothing to arbitrate and no one to
arbitrate with. The men had exercised the
right they had of quitting. They struck
and will not be employed again. On vote
being taken the preamble and resolution
were adopted. In this connection Mr..
Sumwalt offered the following, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That this chamber fully indorses
the action of Mayor Rice, and promises it's
hearty support in preserving order and pro-
tecting property.

A BIG MISTAKE.

Gov. DAVIS is not so old politician but
what he can yet learn some lessons that
NAV be of value TO him in the future. His
recent experience in political campaigning
in Southern Minnesota has undoubtedly
opened his ewes to some things that he
didn't expect to see, and he has probably
learned a lesson or two which he will not
be apt to forget in the future. The GLOBE
IS not the governors organ, nor does it pre-
sumo to offer him gratuitous advice. But
it can tell him one thing very plainly, and
that is. when a man has burthen OF his
own to carry he has no business mOnkeying
around in an attempt to carry somebody
else's load for him. AS candidate for the
senate, Gov. DAVIS had all the load he
wanted without undertaking to shoulder the
burthen of Mr.. LovELY's campaign. The
governor has probably made that discovery
himself by this time. Ia attempting to
fight LovELY's battles the governor had to
plant himself on protection platform, and
when he got down among the farmers OF
Southern Minnesota advocating protection
he found that he was sailing against con-
trary winds. In shouldering LOvELY's
load he burthened himself down with the
oleomargarine iniquity, and he will find
soma difficulty in reconciling the granger
members of the legislature to this part OF
his record when it comes to passing the
hat around for granger ballots in the Sena-
torial election. The GOODNESS with which
his presence in the campaign has beer re-
ceived in contrast with the warm reception
he anticipated, ought to convince him that
he has made a mistake. And if he isn't
already convinced of his error he Will be
further along. What he has lost in pres
tige, however. he has possibly gained in
valuable experience. The next time he
catches a senatorial boom he will stay at
home to nurse it, and will let other candi-
dates look out for themselves.

of Republicans. So much the better. The
sinners and not the righteous are called to

to know that the Republican voters are
willing to give listening ear to the gospel
of Democracy. and are eagerly seeking the
way of redemption from ring rule. The
Democratic gates stand ajar, and whosoever

MAYOR RICE ENDORSED.

The Endorsement which the chamber of
commerce gave to Mayor RICE's course in
relation to the strike was as cordial as it
was unanimous. 1t must be very gratifying
to the mayor to know that he is so cor
daily supported at this critical time in his
public career by the representatives OF the
city's business interests. 1t was not alone
the firm. dgnifed position which he took
that ELECTS public commentator, but it
was also the promptness with which he
faced the situation and asserted his inten-
ton to use the powers of his Office to pre-
serve the peace Of the city and to enforce
the ordinances of the municipality over
which he presided. Although a candidate
for high and honorable Office, he did not
stop to consider what influence his action
would have upon bis candidacy. He only
saw the path of duty as it lay before him
and he followed it. Every selfish consid-
Grafton was promptly subordinated to the
demands of the public welfare. The Ofic-
ial who acts thus promptly and wisely in
an emergency is safe man to intruSt with
political power, That's the sort of man
Mayor RICE is.

THE COMPARISON.

The grand Democratic rally at Pfeifer'S
hall last night shone up splendidly in COM
parison with the Republican fizzle in Min
neapolis at the same hour. 1t is SO all over
the state. Wherever and whenever the
Democratic tocsin is sounded. a blaze of
popular enthusiasm lightens the horizon.
Wherever and whenever the Republican
chestnut gong is rung, the popular heart is
bowed down.

THE DIFFERENCE.

AppropOs to Mr.. BLAINE's participation
in the Pennsylvania campaign, the Phila-
delphia Times calls him ''the brilliant, mag
netic, fated HARRY CLAY of the Republi-
can party" There is striking similarity
in the political careers of CLAY and
BLAINE. Both were brilliant and mag
netic. Both were party idols without
either possessing strength enough to carry
his party forward to victory. The parallel
can be traced in good many ways. But
there is one point where the line would
have to be drawn between CLAY and
BLAINE. CLAY never dabbled in railroad
stocks and never had MULLIGAN for a
