A SICK ROOSTER.

The old rhyme about the devil wanting to
be saint when he was sick is finding an
application in Pennsylvania politics just
now. Tell it not in Pittsburg and whisper
it not in the streets of PHILADELPHIA, but
Senator Don CAMERON is climbing up on
the prohibition fence In the senate the
other day he voted for the BLAIR amend
ment prohibiting the purchase out of funds
appropriated by the United States
Of any spirituous or Intoxicating
liquors to be used at the dedicatory
ceremonies of the statue of Liberty En-
tightening the World, notwithstanding that
Senator ALLISON of Iowa, who represented
a prohibition state, had moved to lay the
amendment on the table. When questioned
as to his reasons for voting this way Senator
CAMERON said that it was no use talking,
prohibition was all issue that was upon the
country and had to be met. He recognized
that there was strong public sentiment in
his state in both parties, and while he was
individually opposed to prohibition, he felt
that it was time the Republican party
was making some concessions in
that direction. The meaning of all this is
that CAMERON is shrewd enough to see
that WoLFE's canvass is developing into
formidable proportions and threatens the
overthrow of his own dynasty. The pros
pect makes him very sick and the only hope
for prolonglng his supremacy is to turn a
prohibition saint. If BEAVER is elected
and the Republicans win the legislature
Mr.. CAMERON will get well, and not much
of prohibition saint will he be after that.

THE MACHINE AT WORK.

1t is becoming more apparent that the
Minnesota end of the Republican party is
being manipulated from headquarters at
Washington. The fund which the Penn
sylvania protectionists put up for campaign
purposes is evidently finding its way to
Northwestern fields, and is going to play a
part in the Republican congressional con-
ventions. Mr.. NELSON got away with
the nomination in the Fifth dis
trct before the Doodle gang at
Washington had organized their campaign.
But they are determined that no more con-
gressional nominations in Minnesota shall
get away from them.
The liveliest Scuffle for supremacy be-
tween the Washington machine on one side
and the people of the district on the other
is in the First district. 1t is tough fight,
too. The decree has gone forth from
Washington that Mr.. Milo WHITE
must be downed. Mr.. WHITE has
been a refractory Republican member
of congress who has occasionally taken it
into his head to vote for measures which
were beneficial to his cQpttuency, even
though it was done in opposition to the
will of his party leaders. Such indepen-
dence as that cannot be tolerated by the
Republican bosses, and the order has been
made out that Mr. WHITE must be dis
ciplined. The Pioneer Press sounded the
bugle blast yesterday morning which was
intended for the assembling together of all
the machine elements to compass WHITE
overthrow. The protection leaven is
working, and it will be marvel if WHITE
and DUNNELL combined can be powerful
enough to overthrow the machine.

ARTESIAN WELLS.

The long continued drouth throughout
the West has naturally brought the question
of artesan wells again into prominence.
There is no doubt such wells would do
much in overcoming the evil effects of the
hot and dry weather which has been work
ing such havoc through the Northwest this
season. The few which are in existence
have proven of incalculable benefit but
they are too limited to exert their revivify-
ing influence beyond very small area
There has been doubt, too, as to the GER
tainty of obtaining water by such means in
any except particularly well situated por-
tons OF the territory, and the comparatively
heavy expense of boring the wells
has prevented individuals from indulg-
ing in the luxury of their possession.
But in view of the widespread benefit which
snch wells would be, this construction
would seem to come reasonably within the
province of the territorial. state, or even
national government. Certainly there
would be more fairness and more possibility
vi good to be accomplished in an appropri-
alton for this purpose than in voting annu-
ally hundreds of thousands of dollars for
the Improvement of some little trout stream
in which the local fishermen and the con-
gressmen alone are interested. Some years
ago the government did send out commits
sion to sink several experimental artesian
wells. But through the selection of mani

THE Sank RAPIDS Fund.

The Sank Rapids Sentinel makes pa
thetic appeal to Gov. HUBAARD not to
permit the unexpended part of the fund
which was donated for the relief of the
cyclone sufferers to be returned to the
donors, as it has been announced it would
be. The Sentinel claims that it will yet
require $780, 900 to rebuild the town and
put 1t in the condition it was before it was
swept away by the tornado, and urges the
governor to visit the town and make per-
sonal inspection of the situation for him
self. 1t is a question whether either the
governor or the relief committee has the
right to dispose of this fund in any way
1t was donated for the benefit of the people
of Sank Rapids. and the people of that
town are the proper ones to say what dis
position should be made of it. 1t was an
absolute gift from the generous people who
contributed it. and the donors assert no
claim to it. 1t belongs to Sank Rapids, and
there ought to be no sort of controversy
about it. Let the people of Sank Rapids
hold public meeting and determine this
matter for themselves

HEAVY POSTAL ROBBERY.

ST. LOUIS, July 30.-The postofice in.
spectors of the postal division between this
city and New York are now looking for tho
author of the first important mail robbery
on that division. The theft occurred nearly
a month ago, but the amount of money lost

unusual precautions to keep it a secret

able paper and property valued at $50. 600
At Pittsburg the far West mail was trans.
ferred, passing into the hands of Chief
Clerk James Ferald. The train as usual
made very short stop at that place and
also, as usual, the chief clerk signed tine
receipt for the various pouches without in
specting them, the time being too short to
do so. During the run to INDIANAPOLIS hs
found that he had receipted for the St.

turned over to him with the rest of thu
mail. He Immediately reported the rob
berry, and the detectives have been workins

the pouch was stolen between New YORK.
and Pittsburg by one or number of clerk,
who have since then left the service.

A sCABBY CONSTITUENCY,

1t isn't often that a member of congress
gets chance to earn his salary, and when
he does he ought to avail himself of the OPP
portunity. The nearest he ordinarily comes
to it is in the work he does answering let
tiers from his constituents. The other day
Nebraska congressman received the fol-
lowing communication from one of his
home partisans: Dear Sir-My children
have been afflicted with the scabs all spring.
and the medicine given them by the doctor
font seem to do any good. I learn there
Ire some very good doctors in Washington
connected with the government and if it
does not cost too much 1 wish you would ask
Them what is good for the scabs and write

ANATURAL GAS STRIKE.

The fact that natural gas was struck re-
Gently at Hillsboro, OAK, furnishes encour-
agement for renewed efforts in different
parts of the territory toward the discovery
of that desirable article. The presumption
that natural gas does underlie the extensive
beds of Ignite which exist in the territory
is very natural one. and the discovery OF
the gas at Hillsboro goes far in making the
presumption certainty. 1t is needless to ex-
patiate upon the advantage which the utiliza-
ton of the gas would be to Dakota. That
ground has frequently been gone over, and
the benefits accruing are well recognized.
The only question is whether there strong
enough probability of success to warrant
the sinking Of experimental wells by terri
torial or county appropriations. The ac-
cidental striking of the gas at Hillsboro'
while boring an artesian well answers this
question in the affirmative. There is no
longer reason for hesitancy. The boundless
advantages which would be derived from
the gas far outweigh the possibility of
failure in finding it, The chance of sue
cess is well worth taking. 1t would not
cost the territory great deal to make sew
eral experimental behring's, and there is no
doubt that the taxpayers of Dakota would
cordially approve of the undertaking.

,esire, protection which carries with it as
little of tariff as possible. That being the
case it is not at all surprising that Dakota
seems very much inclined to send Demo-
crat to the national congress. The terri
tory possesses an abundance of excellent
and available Democratic congressional
material. 1t only requires combined and
harmonious action to put that material to
good service at the national capital. With
Democratic house, a Democratic admins
tration and strong probability of the next
senate being Democratic there is good rea-
son why Dakota should be carried along
with the popular current. All of her in
terests depend upon the general govern
ment; it is, therefore, of Importance that
she should be in harmony with it. By
putting forth an earnest effort the Demo-
Gratis of Dakota can send a delegate to
congress. VIII they do it?

DON CAMERON,s PROPHECY

Don CAMERON is a far-seeing politician
and can come as near seeing through DO
litical milestone as the next man. In re-
cent interview with the Philadelphia
Times the great Pennsylvania boss conceded
that the next house of representatives
would be Democratic, and it was going to
be by tight squeeze that the Republicans
would retain control of the senate, if they
retained it at all He says it depends on
whether Pennsylvania elects Republican
legislature this fall. He owns right up
that the Republicans are in close quarters.
He argues in this way: I'VE have lost one
senator in Virginia. and may lose one in
Indiana. L hope not. New York will be
a close fight. MILLER's term expires up
there. If our fellows don't look out we
will lose one there. Connecticut is not
certain state, and we can't tell what may
happen in New Jersey. There's enough to
beat us already" Senator CAMERoN's
diagnosis of the situation is a very correct
one. And when a CAMERON loses faith in
Republican victories the prospect is pretty
gloomy,

Gov. A1ger,s Narrow Escape.


Echo. Utah. July 30.-The train of ten
coaches bearing the Iowa. Michigan and
New Jersey delegations to the G. A. R. en-
campment and also Senator Logan and Gov.
Alger of Michigan colided with an engin g
at Echo, Utah, tonight, wreckng both en-
gines. No one was hurt except one of the
tiremen. who was slightly bruised. Engi-
neer Downey stood bravely at his post and
reversed his engine. The passengers all
escaped with slight jar Gov. Alger was
on the engine at the time of the accident,
but was not hurt.
CHICAGO, July 30.-The Inter Ocean
Echo, Utah, special says regarding the col
lison OF the G. A. r. eXcursian train: The
excursion train bearing Gen. Logan and
Gov. Alger and families, and delegations
from Iowa, Michigan and New Jersey, col
lded with helper engine just as the train
emerged from Echo canon, wrecking both
engines and driving iuto third. The
engineer was thrown back and stunned
so that he could not control
his engine, which started back at fearful
speed, running into the engine of the east
bound express, driving it back into the
train, crushing the express car badly at
both ends, and completely wrecklng all
ioui eighties. fortunately uOC paSSen-
ger on either train was injured.
Gov. Alger was riding upon
the engine of the excursion train
at the time of the collision and his escape
was miraculous. The platforms of the ex-
cursion train were crowded with people
looking at the wonders of the canon and the
escape of the entire party was truly provi-
Dental. After the shock of the collision
was over, about the first thing heard
were the voices of Chaplain
Lozer and others singing, praise God
from Whom all Blessings Flow" A
praise service was held later. Gen. Logan
was in Gov. Ayers special car at the rear
of the train, and was only little jostled.
The only person injured was the fireman of
the east-bound passenger train, who was
slightly cut about the head.

ELPAso, Tex, July 3O.-The trial of
Cutting is now in progress at Paso Del
Norte. 1t consists merely of a joint ex-
animation by the prosecuting attorney and
judge, of the papers in the case. 1t is ex-
pected that a decision will be
rendered tonight, as the three
days allotted for the ''triap' expire
tomorrow. 1t seems to be the expectation
among Mexican lawyers that Cutting will
be sentenced to one O two years imprison-
ment and taken at once to the Dententiary
at Chihuahua. Medina is also having his
trial this evening for creating a disturbance
few nights ago. The Cutting case has
brought out the hitherto unknown
fact that the doctrine of states
rights is carried to an extreme
limit in Mexico. The state authorities at
chihuahua will brook no interference from
the federal government or even from Pres
ident Diaz personally. They will not even
listen to friendly suggestions. AS matters
now stand Cutting is certain to be SEN
fenced to long term of Imprisonment and
he will be sent to Chihuahua to serve out
the tenn.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-The secretary

Mexico. as horse thief and summarily
executed by them. The secretary refuses to
disclose the contents of the report but adj
mits that 1t substantially confirms the press
report received from Galveston. He has
directed thorough investigation to be made
of all the facts in the case.
CHICAGO, July 3O.-Gen. Francisco
Murajo of the Mexican army, leader to
the recent revolutionary troubles in
northern Mexico. and whose move
ments, according to the dispatches,
are causing no little uneasiness on the part
of the Mexican government, has been in
this city for two days. He was very
successful in maintaining strict
incognito. He left here yesterday for
New York. Gen, Geronimo Trevino, late
secretary of war in Mexico and like
wise a leading participant in the
recent border troubles, is expected
to arrive here any day. He is more to be
feared by the party in power in Mexico
than almost any other person that can be
named.

DEATH OF GEN. M,LAREN.


In the death of Gen. McLAREN our city
loses one of its most honored and most use
full citizens. For a quarter of century he
had been active in contributing toward the
growth of this great metropolis. He had
filled a number of public positions, both in
the civil and military service of his country,
and had discharged every duty satisfactory
to the public and with honor to himself.
Gen. MCLAREN in an eminent degree
enjoyed the public confidence. An upright
citizen, a firm patriot, a sincere Christian
gentleman. a model man in all the relations
of social and domestic life, he was person
to command respect and excite the admira
ton of all who knew him. There is much
in the life, the character and death of such
/ man as Gen. McLAREN to give useful re-
lection. His example will not be lost. 1t
Is part of the history of the city and the
state and will be cherished by all who be-
ieve that a well-spent life is portion of the
public honor, Death overlook him in the
prime of his manhood and in the midst of
his usefulness. And in the presence of this
visitation of death the people of st. Paul
will pause and pay the tribute of a tear to
the memory and virtues of one who was
mere but yesterday, and prominent in all the
noble efforts that are being made to push
the city forward to greatness and prosper
ty. There is portion of his life too sacred
for the veil to be drawn aside and exposed
TO public view. 1t belongs to the cherished
few Of the home circle. to whom
bis heart was opened with all its
wealth of affection. The social circle,
the domestic fireside, the altar of private
friendship, all render to his memory the
dearest, the tenderest tributes of love that
were ever laid as evergreen garlands on
the grave of the beloved dead. The death
summons came suddenly, but it found him
ready. He died as he had lived.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds

DEMOCRATIC DAKOTA

A prominent Dakotian now in Washing
Ion, and who has exceptional facilities for
lrriving at just estimate of Dakota SEN
iment, tells the GLOBE there is every reason
% believe the territory is naturally Demo-
cratic and will, in all probability, prove its
Democracy by sending professor of that
political faith to Washington in place of
Delegate CLIFFORD. This is as it should
be. There is no doubt that Democratic
strength has been growing in the territory
since the election Of CLEVELAND. The
party, too. has become better organized.
The people, comprising as they do, almost
entirely an agricultural community, have
learned that the Republican party, with its
high tariff views and professions,
Is inimical to their best interests,

An Editor Entirely Satisfied.


Just at the present time, especially among
Republicans and certain class of disap-
pointed office-seeking Democrats, there is
great deal said about the management of
political affairs by Mr.. P. H. Kelly, chairman
of the Democratic state central committee. 1t
may be, and probably is true that Mr.. Kelly
has recommended for some appointments
men who were not the best qualified who
could have been found; but in the main, Mr..
Kelly has done exceedingly well, better, we
think, than any man prominent in his fault
finding would have done. The appointments
that have been made in Minnesota are, gen.
orally speaking, frst-class and give entire
satisfaction to the public Mr.. Kelly has not
been an office-broker has not used his in
fluence to defeat local sentiment, but has
usually increased local recommendations. We
doubt very much if the present criticism and
fault-fuding will result in anything save the
Endorsement of Mr.. Kelly when the Demo
cratic convention meets.
