WHAT WINDOW SAYS.

1t is fortunate that the Democrats are
able at times to cOnfute Republican
canards by Republican witnesses. To
prove negative is not always essential
or imperative, but it is at times advisa-
able. When a statement is made which
in itself is highly improbable, but which
has been arranged by politicians with
the obvious purpose of creating false
impressions among the people, there is
a flavor of polite justice i'll confuting
it by the testimony of one of their own
political family. Since his return from
Europe ex-senator WINDOW has afforded
much valuable information to his cOun-
trymen concerning what he saw abroad,
and among the things he learned over
the sea was the astonishing ignorance
which prevailed about American affairs
and institutions. To illustrate this
density of comprehension, he tells that
when he arrived on the other side of the
water he found the pilots who boarded the
steamship had never heard of st. Paul, or
even Minnesota, nor of that remarkable
BODY which had at that time just adj
jOurned, the Republican convention
which nominated HARRISON for the pres
idency; and these ignorant people, curl
OuSly. believed that the United States of
North America was somewhere in Can
ada. As he travelled through the rural
districts he discovered that the farming
classes were no better informed than
the watermen; and instead of the man
ufacturers going wild over the progress
of free trade sentiment on this side of
the Atlantic, they had absolutely moth
ing to say about it.
And yet the leaders and organs of
the party to which Mr.. WINDOW belongs
are constantly insisting that the greatest
interest is being taken in Great Britain
in the presidential campaign, and that
every Briton has gone in tooth and toe
nail for CLEVELAND and the Demo-
cratic ticket.
For picturesque and unadulterated
lying Republican politicians are pecul-

tional history that government author
tiles have begun proceedings against
individuals shortly before an election,
have had such evidence as they cared
to submit published to the country, and
then thrown the whole case overheard.
But the PARNELL people do not intend
that this case shall be disposed of in
that way. They propose to probe the
testimony to its logical result. and see at
whose door the mOnstrOus fOrgerles lie.
Both law and public opinion in Eng
land make it practically impossible to
suppress inquiry, even if the govern
ment wanted to. And there is another
feature about such investigations on the
other side of the Atlantic. While the
case is on trial, it cannot be commented
on in the newspapers. Public opinion
cannot be warped by partisan feeling
one way or the other.
If Mr.. PARNELL and his associates
come out ahead in the investigation, and
unbiased opinion everywhere believe
they will, the result will be a splendid
incentive to liberal ideas, and will work
wonders in behalf of home rule, not
only IN Ireland, but for England and
Scotland, too. In this country Mr..
PARNELL's case is watched with uni
versal interest, mingled with confident
predictions of his success, and of gen.
erouS sympathy with the cause he es-
pouSeS.

FIRST DISTRICT POLITICS.

The GLOBE publishes this morning
review of the political situation in the
First district as it is outlined by our
special correspondent, from which it
will be seen that Judge WILSON is hand
ling Mr.. DUNNELL without gloves. An
encouraging feature of Judge WILSON'S
canvass is that his meetings are not
only the largest ever known in the
southern part of the state, but that they
are largely made up of farmers, who are
eager for tariff information. Judge
WILSON is fully competent to enlighten
them upon this and all other pub
lie questions, and it is because
the farmers have confidence in
their noble old representative that
they go to him for information. Mr..
DUNNELL's canvass is i'll deplorable
contrast with the able and dignified one
conducted by Judge WILSON. Nettled
by the exposure of his record, Mr.. Dun
NELL employs himself principally in
villifying his opponents. His disgrace
full treatment of the Prohibition candi-
date at Mantorville the other evening, is
an illustration of how far Mr.. DUNNELL
has permitted his temper to get the bet
ter of his Judgment.

4 FAIR nIXIDE-

When the issue in the present cam
paign is stripped of surpluSage and the
ornamental word painting which usually
adorn platforms and distinguish con-
ventiOnS, it narrOwS down into a plain
struggle on the part of working people
to get a fair share of the product of
their own labor.
No city in the eountTy-nOt one of
double its sIZe-would be so largely
benefited as st. Paul if the result of the
struggle should &c triumph for a
larger industrial and commercial free
dom. 1t is the gateway not only to the
great Northwest, with its rapidly de-
veloping industries and energetic and
adventurous population, but of that
vast area sweeping away from Puget
sound and bordering the shores of the
Pacific, which forms nearly the half of
a continent, and to which St. Paul
could easily become the distrib-
uting agent of commercial enterprise.
There would spring up manufactures
and enterprises of all kinds. With the
commercial area widened greater
eXertiOnS would be made to meet
the demands of trade; and labor,
being the active and animating princl-
pie of it all, would he able to get greater
reward. because there would be greater
necessity for its employment. 1t would
be enabled to obtain, what for years it has
been endeavoring in vain to secure, a
fair division of the rewards of its own
exertion. With labor properly ami
mated. and stirred to genuine effort in
his behalf, CLEyEI.AND's majority
would be like Eelipse's great race

DUNNELL'S MISTAKE.

Mr. DUNNELL, in his speeches through
the First district. is reported DIS saying
that the MILLS bill is arranged to adj
vance Southern interests at the expense
of Northern interests. In what partic-
ular does it do this? Mr.. DUNNELL
should explain. We should like to
know. 1t cannot be in the matter of
wool, for Texas grows more wool than
any Northern state. Certainly not ia
the matter of lumber, for North Caro-
lima cuts more of that article than
Maine. Hemp and flax are chiefly pro-
duced in Kentucky and Missouri. Cot
ton, wool and iron factories are spring
ing up in Georgia, Tennessee and Ala
bama. The duty on sugar, an exclu-
sively Southern production, is reduced
by the MILLS bill. Wherein, then, does
the MILLS bill help the South at the eX-
pense of the North? Mr.. DUNNELL has
the floor.

THE STATE CANVASS.

The state canvass has progressed far
enough to demonstrate the fact that the
Republicans dare not face the tariff
music, and will rely on the strength of
their party majority. coupled with lib
eral use of money, to carry the state.
Such is the plan that was originally
adopted by the Republican campaign
managers, and is being rigidly adhered
to.
1t wouldn't speak well for either the
intelligence or integrity of the Repub-
lican masses if this plan of campaigning
should prove successful. If majority
of the voters of Minnesota believe in the
principles of the Republican party, then
the Republican managers need have no
fear of forcing the tariff issue to the
front. The very fact that they studi-
ously seek to obscure it is an admission
that the state can not be carried on the
issue of protection.
1t follows, then, as night follows day,
that the Republican campaign is based
upon the assumption that the Republi-
can voters of this state are collar-wear-
ers, or that they are susceptible to the
influence of Doodle. 1t is taken for
granted by the Republican managers
that all persons who have heretofore
voted the Republican ticket will keep
on voting it, regardless of results. Such
an assumption is an insult to the intel
ligence of the Republican masses, and
will doubtless be resented by them.

FLANDRAU,s LETTER.


erty with Judge FLANDRAU's name by
using it, without his knowledge or con-
sent, in connection with movement
which had for its purpose the disorgan-
iZatiOn of the Ramsey county DemOc-
racy. The judge comes to the front very
promptly and very emphatically, in a
communication TO the GLOBE this morn
ing, in which he not only disavowS all
authority for the use of his name in
this connection, but proceeds 10 give
good and substantial reasons why the
ticket nominated by last Saturdays
convention merits the cordial and
united support Of the Ramsey county
Democracy.
The GLOBE has refrained from COM
menting on the proposed Independent
movement because we felt that the gen.
tlemen who were supposed to be at the
head of it would sooner or later see the
folly of their action; and, believing them
to be good Democrats. we were conf
dent that as soon as the error of their
way was discovered by them they
would abandon the project and would

tionally good ticket that was nominated
last Saturday. In this we have not been
mistaken, and there will be no factiOnal
spirit displayed in this contest. There
is no room for faction, or excuse for
division. If there is any person
who cannot consistently support
such ticket as the Democrats of Ram
sey county have put in the field, he isno
Democrat. He is only a chronic NAL
content. 1t is possible that there may
be some persons claiming 10 be Demo
Gratis who will want to keep up strife
and division, but they will be looked
upon as wolves in sleeps clothing. No
man with whom Democracy is prin-
pie will seek to create division in his
party in a crisis like this unless there is
just cause for it. In this instance there
is not only an absence of cause, as is
ably demonstrated in Judge FLAN-
DRAU's letter, but there Is not even the
shadow of an excuse.

the Republican bosses have treated the

Under GROUND.

Not great while since a convention
of learned electricians convened in New
York city, before which number of
learned and exceedingly erudite papers
were read, showing. among other
things, that nobody had as yet devised
successful scheme for working under
ground wires; that the whole subject
was filed with doubts of induction and
difficulties of insulation, and that it
wouldn't be possible in large city to
put underground telegraph, electric
and telephone wires, without serious
danger to life and property. These
and similar objections were gravely
urged upon the assembled electricians,
with much elaboration of rhetoric, and
their conclusions furnished to bloated
electrical companies, which in all the
cities have been darkening the skies
with their wires.
But at the very time when these wise
and self-contained electricians in the
East were demonstrating that the thing
could not be done, Chicago was pro-
ceeding to do it. And now Cincinnati
and, st. Louis are preparing to follow
her example. 1t was left to the wild
and wOolly West TO devise ways and
means which the genius of the East was
unable to accomplish. The Chicago
electric lighting companies dug shallow
bitches in the streets and put down
asphaltum blocks containing holes
through which cables might be drawn.
The telegraph and telephone companies
stuck to the curbstone, near which they
dug trenches large enough to hold lines
of three-inch pipes filled with insulated
wires; and the thing was done.
Overhead wires are relics of certain
crudity and barbarism in science that
ought to be put away along with the
side-wheel ocean steamer and the broad
gauge locomotives of our earlier days.

KANSAS CITY. Oct. 7.-Chicago pre-
sented Kansas City with two games to-
day. and did not do it in a very artistic
manner. The Blues played ball, or not,
as they pleased, and the games were ell
tlrely without feature, unless the rank
playing of the visitors can be called
such. The Chicago team made series
of experiments, and in the second game
Outfielder Keegan and Second Baseman
Rheims occupied the points. Bernard,
a Kansas City amateur, played in the
centre field garden. The only amuse-
ment the 1850 people present had, was
in guying him. At the close of the first
game Manager Hengle, of the Maroons,
was presented with gold-headed cane
by the members of the club, this being
their closing game Of the season. The
club left for Chicago tonight. The
Blues also started at 6:25 this evening
for Des Moines, accompanied by sew
eral hundred admirers, who go to see
them either lose or win the champion
ship. The scores of the games are as

The batting, fielding and base run
ming records of the st. Paul team for
the season of 1888. are given in the
tables below. All the regular games,
including ties, except the eight-inning
contest at Sioux City forfeited to St.

ders has proved the most accurate
fielder of the three pitchers, but his
batting is somewhat below that of
Duryea and Tuckerman, who, with
him, stands at the foot of the batting
list. With the willow Pickett stands at
the head Of the list with an average of
$50, much better than that he made in
1887. MorriSSy is next, but three points
behind, while Earle is third and Carroll
fourth. Of the released men it should
be noted that, with one exception, their
fielding averages are above 900, and.
with two exceptions, their batting av-

weeks of the season Murphy pulled
away from Carroll in base running,
while Pickett made an immense gain.
