A Sketch oF the Man Who Was
 Chairman of ti.e Gonyention.

Chairman of ti.e Convention.
 When the Marquis of Ripton in an amiable way ambled about the Massachusetts State House one afternoon in the spring of 1871 he sat down beside young man who was occupying a corner of one of the leather sofas. The young man had a bright face, with quizzical look to his mouth, and now and then a twinkle came into his eye as he talked. The Marquis talked a little conde- scendingly to the young man at first, and in a moment he let out a question that he thought his com panion was page.
 But I am a senator," said the young man, smiling. -at
 "What?" said the nobleman in astonishment, looking at the smooth face of the young man.
 II am a senator, elected from a district in the city of Boston," was the reply agaln.
 "Were you born here ill the city, tool" said the Marquis.
 "No."
 "Where, then?"
 "In the island next to yours. |" with a sharp look, and a laugh in his eyes. The Marquis laughed heartily too, and he remembered young Patrick A. Collins name and face, and when the two met in England last summer Collins had a warm welcome from the man who took him for a page in the state senate sixteen years before.
 Ripton has probably lost track of him since, but if the English newspapers took anything like as good care of American news az ours do of getting European news, he would note his old acquaint- ance again and in a place of new prominence as Chairman of the National Convention in St. Louis.
 But how many men even in his own district remember now that twenty years ago Patrick A. Col lins was the foreman in big up holsterlng shop, earning S25 a week? That was big pay for a young man of 24 working as q mechanic in 1868. He was earn ing and saving then, and has been eyer since he was appointed fore man in another shop, 19 years old. at SIS a week.
 He had knocked about good deal since he had landed in Bos- ton. Just f he was then, and he and his parents went to Chelsea They lived there for 2 time and then went to Ohio. Collins, the youngster, got q schooling, com mon schooling, in Ohio, and worked hard there besides on a farm and in the coal mines. But he wanted to go back to the east when he got to be slip of a boy, and at 16 he went back as an ap- prentice. He served his time and began saving money. When he was 24 he had $1, ,100 laid up, and in one and the same week he was elected to the lower house of the state legislature and matriculated at Harvard law school. The two went together. The pay he got from helping make laws helped him study law. But he was not the youngest man in the house then, nor SO young as many who have been there before or since His two colleagues from "Old Ward 7' in South Boston-orig- finally Fort Hill-were younge, than he.
 Two years he staid in the House and two in the Senate. In TO he went into the senate, and il was not, after all, surprisSg that Ripton took him for a page. Ht was elected senator at an age younger than any man who ever entered that body. He was 26. 4 record never broken. Josial Quincy first called Mir. Collins attention to that.
 His course of law on Beacor

Cambridge ended together, and the day after the senate of Fl ad- journed his law shingle was hung out and his office opened. He had made more friends than ever. He had been the only Democratic committee chairman in the body, and he had added to his resources by making lectures, clearing $500 one winter. The lectures were delivered in New Hampshire, Rhode Island and throughout his own state, and were on Irish his tory and politics. It was consid erably before the Irish question was agitated in this country, and the lecturer found his audiences interested and attentive. It was a good thing for him as a speaker. It cultivated sort of talking which he did not get on Beacon Hill, though off-hand talk on a subject where debate is earnest is what he enjoys most to-day, and is what he feels most at home in.
 When MT. Collins went out of the legislature, in 1871. hc de- clared he would not be a candi- date for any elective office for ten years. He kept his word, being just after the end of it defeated by forty-three votes as candi- date for state senator in South Boston district once more. That was the year of the state consta- bles and the liquor trouble.
 In the meantime, however. he got his title, to which he firmly objects and dislikes. He was Judge Advocate General, with the rank of Brigadier, on Gov. Gas tons staff, There were stiff court martials in those daysl
 Congressman Collins has always been sorry that he got the title. It would have saved answering SO many hundred times that he did not belong to any corps or divis- ion in the army. If there is any one person who dislikes the title it is Mrs. Collins. So much so is it true that her letters can always be picked out of a basketful. They are usually (once in a long time there is another) the only ones directed "Mr. Patrick A. Col lins." But even the postman does not let these escape. For a time the addresses puzzled the post office folks and Riggs House peo- pie; but now "M. C." in blue pen cil is put on the letter in the Washington office and 1t goes straight to it's destination. So have endeavored to regard his wishes here.
 MT. Collins has kept straight to the law since he entered congress. He voted for Sunset Cox in the Forty-eighth, but Mir. Carlisle paid him thu compliment of ask ing his preference and he got a place on the judiciary committee. Here he has staid ever since, and undoubtedly would have had the chairmanship in this congress had not tradition in the shape of slow old Judge Culberson of Texas, who has served on the committee ten years and been in congress much longer, stood in the way. In the Forty-ninth congress Col lins could have had almost any one of the chairmanships outside those of the Ways and Means, Appropriations, and one or two others. He was offered a place on the Ways and Means committee, but still kept to the Judiciary committee. Boston Record.

south Carolina Paralyzes the seax
 side Serpent Business. sa.lIs lColumbus (S. CD, May 31st.-A remarkable story of flying serp- ent comes from Darling county. The report is that on Sunday even ing Miss Ida Davis and her two young sisters were taking a walk inEthe woods, when huge serp-~ ent appeared above them, moving through the air with the speed of a slow-fying bird. It did not seem to be very high in the air, and moved without any visible eff fort. It appeared to be about if teen feet long and ten inches thick.
 The girls stood spell-bound until the formidable looking object was out of sight The flying serpent was seen by several other people in q different part of the county early in the afternoon of the same day, and they tell all sorts of sto- ries about its appearance.
 The negroes are considerably excited over the matter and think it sign of the approach of the Judgment Day. Revivals will be held in their churches.
 At the village of Grassland, ten miles to the southeast of where the aerial monster was seen by the ] Davis sisters, a panic was caused among the inhabitants by the ap- proach of the creature. The steeple of the Methodist Church is crowned by a weathercock in the form of giJded dove. The last rays of the sun caused this dove to glisten bright, and the eyes of the serpent were attracted by if. l Descending in its flight, it scared to within few feet of the dove, and circled around 1t as if moved, either by curiosity or a desire for prey. Suddenly it appeared to | discover the inanimate and inedi- ble nature of the dove, and with q furious swash of it's tail, knocked the weathercock from it's fasten- ings and sent it to the ground be- low in a hundred pieces. Some of the fragments picked up are stalned with blood, showing that the monsters tail came into con- l tact with the stout iron rods by i which the dove was held in l place. aafe lai
 Reverend Richard Medway, pas- tor of the church, vouches for the accuracy of the details here given. He was approaching the sacred edifce at the tune, on his way to | hold the evening service His wife, who was on his arm, fainted at the sight of the monster how ering like an evil spirit over the church. Mn Medway says there can be no doubt of the aphidian nature of the creature. His de- scription of it agrees substantially with that given by the Davis girls.

John Allison Is native of Nova Scotia.
His classical education was begun at
DalhOusie college, Halifax. He grad
uated in the degree of A. b. and A. NJ.
in a United States college. He has
held pastorates in churches in st. John,
n. b., Buffalo, n. Y, and Milwaukee.
Wis. Mr.. Allison came to Minnesota in
1881, and was for some time pastor OF
the Presbyterian church at Lanesboro.
He is member of the New York Lay
ceum Lecture bureau, and in 1887 was
chosen chaplain of the Minnesota SEN
ate.
A year ago he removed his property
to Dakota, and early in this year came
with his wife to reside with his son in
Volga. Although by no means a rank
partisan, Mr.. Allison has for many
years been identified with the principles
incident to the Democratic party. lie
is man of broad and liberal culture,
and we'll versed in all questions relating
to both political economy and practical
politics. He has written much for the
press and travelled extensively i'll our
own country, as we'll as the old world.
His unObtrusivenesS as politician
NAV be Judged from the fact that the
Republican senate of Minnesota Sc
lected him from four popular candi-
dates as chaplain. and at the close of
the session gave him rising and unani-
nous vote of thanks, accompanied by a
request to make closing address.
Mr.. Allison is man of fine personal
presence, an eloquent and fOrcible
Speaker, and although above sixty
years of age, is remarkably well pre-
served and active. If elected we are
assured he will ably and faithfully rep
resen the interests of all the voters of
the Seventh district.

WITH WHEAT ar A DOLLAR
1t Is Heart-Rending to See 1t
Swept Away by Ruthless Prairie
EiFsnS


Special to the Globe.
Roscoe, Oct. 26.-The devastation
wrought by prairie fires this fall, both
in Dakota and the states, seems to de-
mand some heroic remedy. 1t needs
concerted action on the part of settlers
or each year will have its tale to tell of
loss and woe. This year has been more
than usually fruitful of disaster from
this source. 1t is a sad sight at any
time to see the stacks of golden grain
consumed that have cost so much anX-
iety and labor, but when that grain is
worth dollar and more per buShel,
and is the sole dependence of the farmer
for his winters supplies it is simply
heart-rending. A remedy suggested by a
thrifty and sensible farmer of this
place is this: Let each county pass
law 81 milar TO that of the nOXi0uS weed
law, obliging each and every owner of
land to have q tire-break of specified
width on all sides of his property.
Should he fail to comply with the law,
have the fire-break made and tax the
amount it costs to the land. While
such a law might seem arbitrary in
some cases, it would in the end prove a
blessing to every one liable to prairie
fires. Any suggestion that would con-
duce to the suppression of prairie fires
before another year rolls around would
seem most desirable to interested paIt-
les. The matter should be thoroughly
discussed and some measures adopted
to save our pastures and hay, to say
nothing of homes and valuable grain.
At the price that prairie hay brings in
the market thousands of dollars worth
have been destroyed by fire in Central
Dakota this fall.

MILBANK, OAK, Oct. 26.-The cleo
ton this year in Grant county possesses
deeper interest upon territorial and
legislative questions than ever before
known. Heretofore interest has GEN.
tered merely in the contest upon the
choice of county officers, but this year
the delegate to congress and for MEM
bers of the legislature are claiming a
large share of public interest. Party
lines are being drawn quite closely
FOR THE FIRST TIME,
and the Republican organs and party
leaders are working hard to whip voters
into line. The farming community,
however, is evincing a very deep in
terest in the respective candidates and
their records, and unless your CORES
pondentis greatly mistaken, Harden will
CARRY THE COUNTY
by handsome majority, while the
Democratic legislative ticket will come
out equally victorious.
Dr.. G. E. Daniels, the nominee for
representative in this county, is widely
known in both Grant and Roberts
counties, and is very popular, and will
undoubtedly run ahead of his ticket.
The Review, the only Democratic
newspaper in the county, has been

which ticket best represents their inter-

HARDEN WILL DO WE'LL,
And the Contest for the Legisla-
ture Will Be a Hummer.

Special to the Globe.
FOREMAN, Oct. 26.-Mr. Harden, the
Democratic nominee, was recently here
for few hours stirring up the faithful.
Both parties are likely to poll their full
strength, unless Mathews should lose a
portion of the alliance vote, as seems
quite probable. Bierly will cut little or
no figure, so far as can be learned. In
1886 Day got 81 votes in this county
out of 2, 1877 cast. and Harden will prob
ably make about the some showing; for
while the Democratic forces have been
largely augmented in the past two
years, it must be remembered that Day
got many Republican votes through
indifference and neglect. which will
be put in for the regular nominee
this year, From $50 to $50 votes
is fair, estimate at this time of the
support Maj. Harden will receive. In
terest in the legislative battle here is
confined to the one Office of representa-
tive, for which there are two local as
pirants, both Republicans. c. c. New
man received the support of the Repub-
can county convention, and was accord
ingly nominated in the district conven-
ton at Glendale. r. Holding was in
dorsed by the Democratic county con-
ventiOn last Saturday, at Minor.
Both are well-knOwn politicians, and
their canvass bids fair to be hummer.

SPECIAL to the Globe.
FARGO, Oct. 26.-An incident of the
Cass county campaign which has pro
duced considerable merriment among
all parties occurred few nights ago at
dickson. Maj. Edwards had announced
that he would address the citizens of
that thriving village and surrounding
country upon certain evening. The
opposition, knowing this, prepared a re-
ceptiOn for him by securing a sufficient
number of their friends to attend the
meeting and give them the majority,
elect the chairman and run the inStitu-
ton their way. This they accomplished
so far as the chairman was concerned,
who, it is said, carried out his part of
the programme by announcing at the
outset that Edwards would speak first,
after which several attorneys who were
present from Fargo would address
the meeting, thus giving all par
ties a chance to be heard, Evil
IDENTITY the major saw the point
and concluded he'd make fun for the
boys: so after being introduced, he en-
tered upon his speech with the ponder
Gus clOquence for which his physique OF
$40 pounds so well qualities him, his

in about an hour. In this they were
evidently mistaken, for when he found
himself facing such an aggregation of
legal talent from his own city, the
Bosom of destruction seiZedhis ponder
Gus form, and he proceeded to belabOr
the crowd with all his peculiar doctrines
of taxation schemes, ETC., until every
one supposed his usual speech of an
hour was exhausted. Not so. however,
for after full hour had elapsed, he
seemed to have just got through with
the predatory remarks, and when the
second hour had expired his wind
was better, his words clearer,
and there was more and more
vim exhibited as time wore Oh, until the
end of the fourth hour, when he was
just as fresh as ever. and concluded his
address with half hour more of what
might have been omitted. The result
was II 30 at highland the meeting adj
iOurned and the friends of the Demo
cratic ticket did not get an opportunity
to peep. As one of the attorneys re-
marked, he knew something of Edwards
wind, but never supposed it took so
long for him to blow off. Both parties
think it is huge joke, but neither de
tires to repeat it.

ABOUT THE ALLIANCE.
The Extent to Which 1t Will Aid

II understand that Mr.. Harden is an
officer in the Farmers Alliance Organi-

"Yes, he is one of its vice presidents,
and has been an active organizer and
speaker in its cause. l do not under
stand that as an organization, it will
enter the campaign for MIR. Harden,
but | do know that its officers, although
all, or nearly all are. or have been Re-
publicans, will vote for and support
him. My understanding is that the al
lance is composed of members of all
parties. holding views in common on
the tariff tax and certain legislation
necessary for the protection OF farming
interests, and that it favors the election
of men, irrespective of party. who are
known to be reliable on questions af-
fecting these interests. As Mr.. Harden
