Mr.. Editor:
Business having called MS last
week TO the pleasant little village of
Wilde, We had the pleasure of at
tending some of their weekly social
enjoyments.
The first of these was the literary
society which occurred on Saturday
evening at the scoolhouse, at Wilde
which by the way IL credit to the
town. The society was presided over
BY A. H. Rogers one of Wilde's most
influential citizens, and veteran in
the business.
We were surprised to sec such o
large attendance and still more sur
prised to see that almost all present
took active part in entertainments.
The question before the house was
"Resolved that the Horse is more
useful than the Cow" which was
ablely handled by the little folks of
the neighborhood it beng the chil-
dren's evening. We were told the
children had the floor every second
Saturday night.
Sunday morning at IL o'clock the
village bells Imaginary called the
people to Sunday-school which was
held in the school-house. The super
intendent Lewis Brown, an enter
prising young claim-holder near the
Town conducted the services. Miss
Minnie Cochrane secretary of both
Sunday-school and literary is q sam
pie of what young ladies can do to
lend q healthy brain and helping
hand to the advancement of society,
After Sur day-school we returned
to the residence of B. f. Downing
one of the first settlers of Wilde
where we were refreshed with .
bountious dinner, and had the pleas
ure of meeting old friends fresh from
the snow-clad hills of Winona coun-
ty, Mimi, Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley Mar
tin, parents of Mrs. o. F. Downing
of Butte Crock. After dinner cigars
and politics were discussed and all
agreed that better times were coming
with Harrison aud Morton at the
wheel, tor the next four years.
The people of Wilde are a fair
sample of the energetic settlers who
are fast making of the broad prairies
of southeastern Colorado fertile
farms and happy homes,

TERRy,S SUCCESSOR.

The retirement of Maj. Gen. TERRY
gives rise to discussion as to his sue
cessCr. The position need not be filled
in the regular line of promotion, as
the appointment lies directly with the
president, and the scramble for the
place has already begun among the Off
GERS eligible. None of them is push
ing his claims with more energy than
Gen. MILES, who, by the way. is we'll
known in st. Paul and throughout the
Northwest generally.
MILES has made an admirable record.
He has fought his way up step by step,
and has won his present position by the
sheer force of 1lerit. Entering the
army at the outbreak of the war as a
volunteer, he has at every opportunity,
whether during the war or in conflicts
with the Indians, shown himself to be
brave soldier, to the manner born. AS
the representative of the practical sol
dier element in the army, as against the
theoretical and dilletanti element, Gen.
MILES is deserving of recognition, and
his appointment would meet with the
appreciation of all acquainted with his
record.
President CLEVELAND is in no wise
guided by fayoritism in making of
such appointments, and may be relied
upon to be guided solely by considera-
tions of merit. On these grounds the
chances of Gen. MILES to secure the
promotion ought to be excellent.

A HALE OLD MAN.

Who, reading between the lines of the
cable dispatches and deducing there
from the unmistakable evidence of
BIsMARCK's vitality, would upon that
evidence alone form the conclusion that
the German chancellor had passed by
three years the allotted span Of mans
life? Seventy-three on Sunday last, with
the vigor Of man of fifty! An aston
ishing exhibition of vital force, is it not?
But still more remarkable exhibit
ton of common sense leading to log
ical result. BISMARCK is vigorous in
his old age, because he has indeed made
self-preservation the first law of his nat
ure. He has taken care of himself, and
to good purpose. His daily life is or
dered by the inf1eXible rule of alter
mating work and recreation, neither be-
ing given supremacy over the other, and
each regarded as of vital importance.
The result is the harmonious and
wholesome result that might have been
expected. Though an old man, he is
without an old mans infr1nities, and
the German empire, continuing to
enjoy the fruits of his wisdom, reaps the
advantage of his common sense. There
is no other statesman who can invite
comparison with sturdy GLADSTONE
and not suffer by it.
In this country, where public men are
old and broken dewn at sixty, their use
fulness forever impaired, the lives of
these two men teach useful lesson.
Unfortunately, there is little reason to
hope that it will be needed.

JOSEPH A. WHEELoCK.

The friends of JOSEPH A. WHEELoCK.
of the Pioneer Press, have determined
to present his name to the Republican
state convention as one of the delegates
to be chosen to represent Minnesota in
the national Republican convention.
While the GLOBE will have no voice in
the naming of the Republican delegates,
and it may seem to some to be imper-
Thence On our part to offer suggestion,
still. we cannot forbear from adding
our Endorsement to the candidacy of our
brother editor, and to express the hope
that the Republicans of this state will
do so ereditable a thing as to honor
Mr.. WHEELoCK with an cleo
ton. 1t is position of weighty
responsibility without any emoluments
attached to it, and if it is to be conferred
as a reward of faithful and brilliant
services i'll behalf of his party there is
no one more deserving of the distinction
than Mr.. WHEELoCK. He has served
his party in season and out of season
for many years, with an ability and en-
ergy that are seldom equaled. He
should be named as one of the delegates
at large by the convention without an
opposing voice.

ALL FOR NAUGHT.

The Chamber of Commerce
Tackles Political Subject, bnt
Does Not Act, There Being No
Quorum.
The committee to which was referred
the question of enlarging the water
mains in the business district made
report to the chamber OF commerce
yesterday morning, that at a joint meet
ing of the committee from the common
council, the water commissioners, the
fire commissioners and the underwrit-
ers, it was decided that practical test
be made of the capacity of the pipes for
fire purposes, under the direction of an
expert. The subject was therefore laid
over pending the test. II. f. Stevens
suggested that as the gas company had
stated that it intended to make certain
improvements in its system, further
consideration of the supply and quality
of gas be laid over for one month, and
the chamber accepted the suggestion.
Considerable discussion followed the
report of the committee sreport in favor
of maintaining the duty on flax seed and
flax seed oil. 1t was stated by several
that this industry was controlled by
trust: that the oil was sold in England
at 80 cents, while the duty Oh its com
ing into the United States was % cents.
DR.. Day said that the total crop of flax
seed was 100000 bushels, and that
more than tWo-thirds of it was raised in
Minnesota and Dakota. 1t was argued
that the removal of the duty would in
lure the farmers. while, Oh the other
hand. it was claimed that the conSHm-
ID ,Af 10 I'm N nor
twice as much per gallon for Oil as do
the consumers in England, leaving the
profits to be pocketed by the trust. Dr..
Day argued that if the duty were
taken off the farmer would
be the sufferer and manufacturers
would be driven out of the business.
Mr.. Moves and others commented upon
the trust AID claimed that the stock
had bee changed and manipulated.
Mr.. Higgens, secretary and manager OF
the National Oil trust, was allowed to
make statement. He said the trust
included every mill west of Chicago.
The Eastern mills, he claimed, were
arrayed against the trust. Before the
formation of the trust business was i'll a
very poor condition, but under the
trust system it has been improved, and
the farmers now found profitable
market for their seed. He claimed that
a reduction of the 'ariff would enable
Eastern manufacturers to manufacture
from imported seed, and the effect
would be to reduce production and shut
out Western manufacturers. Gen.
Bishop could not see how if the re-
moval of the tariff on flax seed would
raise the price of Oil, the price of the
farmers flaxseed would be reduced.
Finally, when vote was taken Oh the
report of the committee, which was in
favor of protection, it was found that
no quorum was present, and the matter
was laid over to the next meeting of the
chamber

read at meeting of the Psyehical So
ciety a confession" as he chose to
call it, of which the above is synopsis.
In conclusion he said that, although by
no means restored to perfect health as
vet, he had quite recovered from his re-
cent affecting disorder. Before taking
his departure he wished to add that he
did not think he could cOnscientiOusly
offer any opposition, under the circum-
stances, to a motion for his own eXpul-
sion. q
Son the contrary" exclaimed gray
haired member, rising, Il move that
vote of thanks be extended to our wor-
thy colleague for valuable addition to
our store of knowledge regarding the
living phantasm; also, that the story OF
his sufferings in behalf of science be in
scribed upon the archives of this So
ciety."
The motion was carried without dis
senting voice. On the ghOst-propagat-
ing Industry the incident has
had rather stimulating influence than
otherwise. 1t is likely, however, that
in the incubation of SpecterS more pains
will be taken to guard against accidents
than heretofore. No business requires
more laborious attention than the breed
ing of spoOks. After they are Matched,
careful handling is the chief desider-
alum. The prudent man invariably

MICHIGAN ELECTIONS.

If straws can show which way the
wind is blowing. there ought to be no
difficulty in interpreting the municipal
elections held in Michigan yesterday.
Democratic gains in every part OF the
state are encouraging indications that
the Northwestern tide in favor OF tariff
reform is setting in early. 1t is the be-
ginning of the end. The people OF the
Northwest are rapidly awakening to the
necessity for decided action if tariff
reform victory is to be won this year.
The people of Michigan seem to have
an intelligent idea of how and where
the line of battle is to be formed. The
tariff reformers are fiocking to the Dem
ocratic standard, just as they will have
to do in Minnesota and other North
western states, for under no other BAN
ner can a tariff reform victory be
gained.

WINNIPEG. Man., April 2.-It would
seem as If the local government had no
idea of purchasing the Pembina branch
Of the Canadian Pacific railroad, as on
Saturday contracts were signed for the
completion of the wooden bridges
needed along the line of the Red River
Valley railway, from Fort Rouge to the
international boundary line. Greenway,
while in Toronto, informed a reporter
that the settlement with the Ottawa
government was satisfactory. He said
that the Red River valley railway would
be opened on July dominion day. 1t
is semi-officially stated in Ottawa that
the compensation to be granted the
Canadian Pacific railroad will be a guar
antee of $14, 600, 900 on stock proposed to
be issued for improvement of the road,
and that no money will be paid in cash
by the government. When Treasurer
Jones makes his budget speech on April
Il he will tale unfold that will make
interesting reading for Winnipegers.
