Salt Would Not Kill.

Special to the Globe
GRAND FORKS, OAK, Aug. 22.-The
greatest joke of the season was to-day
played on Judge John E. Sullivan. of
Grand Forks. A practical joker in
duced him to go hunting chickens. Sui
livan furnished the horse and buggy
and his companion the gun and car
tridges. Thirty of the cartridges were
loaded with salt. After driving into
the country a covey of chickens was
sighted. Sullivan shot time and again,
without any more success than to scare
the birds. Once or twice he handed the
gun to his companion, who quietly
slipped in good cartridge and brought
down the game. Sullivan never mis-
trusted, and swore vengeance on dog,
gun and his failing eyesight.

THAT SAME OLD TRICK.

The ancient and oft-repeated accusa-
ton against the Associated Press that
it is subsidized in the interest Of the
Republican party finds additional con-
firmation in the way it is now serving
political news to its patrons. When a
HARRISON or BLAINE demonstration
occurs it is given precedence and all
other news Subordinated to that. But
when Judge THURMAN starts out on
triumphal tour to Port Huron all other
news is rushed in ahead and the THUR
MAN demonstration is held back for the
overflow, too late, in fact, to be used by
many of the morning newspapers for
their early editions. The prostitution
of any news franchise 10 partisan uses
is not only an outrage upon the rights
of those who are served by it, but it is
reflection upon that spirit of independ
ence which is popularity supposed to
govern modern journalism.

A JOINT DEBATE.

1t is gratifying to the GLOBE to have
its views respecting the necessity for a
joint debate of the tariff question by the
two great leaders. BLAINE and CAR
Isle, Endorsed by so independent and
eminently respectable a journal as the
Philadelphia Times. The Times says:
1.-The more joint debates we have the
better. There is every evidence
that the coming campaign is going
to be great one for thinking men,"
And what novelty it is in American
politics to have truly thoughtful cam
paign-one from which partisan politics
is to be largely eliminated and the vot-
ers are to be permitted to sit down in
sober earneStneSS to consider the great
economic questions, such as are involved
i'll the proposition to reduce war taxation
and to put the finances of the country
on peace basis. If the leading news
paper in the protection state of Penn
sylvania advocates joint discussion of
the great issue of the campaign surely
we of the Northwest have nothing to
lose by it.
The party managers in Indiana have
already arranged for series of joint
debates between the Democratic and
Republican gubernatorial candidates.
Both MATsoN and HovEY have signi-
fed their willingness to participate in
it. Congressman MILLIKEN, of Maine,
speaking for the Eastern Republican
leaders, enters a protest against the az
rangement upon the ground that the
Republicans have everything to risk by
a fair discussion of the tariff, and he is
frank enough to say that the Republi-
cans have lost Indiana In advance of
the election by going into this arrange
ment. Well, if he is right in his pre-
dictions, they ought to lose. A party
public discussion of its doctrines doesn't
merit popular support.
The GLOBE has no knowledge of what
arrangements will be made by the party
managers in this state, nor is it author
lied by any candidate to make or accept
challenge. But it does here and now,
on its own responsibility, demand of the
Republican managers that when they
have made their nominations for state
ticket to put forward their gubernato-
rial candidate. let him.take the stump
to discuss the tariff question, and. our
word for it, EUGENE NJ. WILSON will
meet him on fair division of time
every day in the week, Sundays ex-
cepted. until the day of election. The
Democrats are not afraid to talk tariff
to the people of Minnesota? Are the
Republicans?

THE PLATFORM
in brief says: The Republicans of
Wisconsin by their representatives in
convention assembled heartily approve
of the nomination of Benjamin Har-
rison for president and Levi P. Morton
for vice president as worthy of the
warm and united support of the Repub-
lican party" They approve of the
platform adopted by the national
Republican convention in June last as
outlining the policy best calculated
to maintain and promote the welfare Of
the country and the prosperity of the
people of all classes and occupations.
With regard to the affairs of the state
they offer as the best guarantee for the
future and the strongest claim to the
continued confidence of the people, the
record of the present Republican adj
ministration and its predecessors. 1t is
a record of the honest, econom-
ical impartial and judicious
application of sound business
methods to the various departments of
the state government. In conclusion,
this convention desires to express its
recognition of the fidelity, ability and
efficiency with which Gov. j. NJ. Rusk
has discharged the duties of his re-
spOnsible office; honest, courageous and
just, he has held the office of governor
longer than any of his predecessors, and
has so borne himself as to win the re-
spect and esteem of the whole people
irrespective of party divisions"

TELLS A STRANGE STORY.

A Woman Hailing from Pittsburg

Special to the Globe
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Aug. pa
middle aged woman arrived in this city
yesterday from Pittsburg, Pa. She
gives her name as Mrs. Henrietta Bus
selman, and claims to be the wife or H.
l.. BuSSelman, well-known and re-
spected business man of this city, who
has now been living with his present
wife several years. She has papers pur-
porting to show that she was married
to Busselman at Pittsburg in 1874. They
then went to Germany, and while there,
it is claimed by the woman, Busselman
deserted her. She never heard from
him until recently. She has no money
or means of support whatever, and is in
very poor health. She has commenced
action against Mr.. Busselman to secure
her share of his property.

SALT IN THE SORE.
The Republicans Scheming tt
Keep Up the Feeling.

Keep Up the Feeling.
There is still considerable soreness
among the friends of DR.. Ames over the
outcome of the state convention. They
are inclined to rebel against the will of
the majority. Just now they are in the
position of being worked by the Repub-
licans, though they blindIy decline to
realize it. The wounds of the convention
are still open. and into them the Repub-
lican press is throwing salt, and then
grinning over the wry faces it pro-
duces. This is particularly the case
with DR.. Ames. Left to his natural i'm
pulses, which are generally straightfor-
ward and right, he would already have
brushed away all feeling of resentment
and declared himself satisfied with
the result but for the efforts
of the Republican papers to rip
up the fight. These papers would be
highly pleased to see division in the
local Democratic household, and they
will see it unless their plan is better
understood. In all conventions but one
man canfbe nominated for every office
and all other applicants must be disap-
pointed. This is usual; but it is also
usual for each disappointed one to bow
to the will of the convention and join in
the work for the success of the ticket.
1t is not only usual, but Democratic.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The Cinnamon
of the city have organized in the inter-
est Of Harrison and Morton. The Chi
nese residenters believe that Harrison's
election will open the country to their
countrymen. A meeting of the rich
chinese and the principal men among
that nationality was held last night at
the Foss house, Is Lott street. 1t was
stated at the meeting, so the story goes,
that funds were needed for the Repub-
lican campaign. After good deal of
discussion it was finally decided to put
boxes around in the various Chinese
restaurants and Chinese Iaundries of
the city to raise money for the Repub-
lican campaign fund. Several of the
wealthieSt Chinese. however, put ND
money at once. and it was reported that
at least $4,000 was subscribed and paid
on the spot. Tom Lee, it is authori-
lively stated, carried the money up to
Republican headquarters, at 81 Fifth
avenue. to-day. Tom Lee was deputy
sheriff here and is believed to be the
richest man among the Chinese resi-
dents of the city. He is recognized as
the boss of the Chinese population.
The Republican national committee
have more nuts to crack than time in
which to crack them. They are going
to hold an executive committee meeting
tomorrow to consider communication
from several bishops of the Methodist
church. In this communication the
bishops state that they hold the old
fashioned notions about free whisky
and that large proportion of them and
tue members of their church who have
always voted the straight Republican
ticket will cast their votes this year for
Gen. Fiske. They state that they would
like to vote the Republican ticket if the
platform can be changed. but unless it
is, which is impossible, they can't this
year support Harrison and Morton.

THE EXPOSITION OPENING.

Minneapolis has just reason to feel
proud of the opening of the third In
dustrial Exposition in that city yester-
day. 1t was with some misgiving as to
the ultimate success of the project that
the people of our sister city inaugurated
the Exposition two years ago. But
whatever doubts existed originally have
long ago been dispelled by the i'm
mense success which has attended the
undertaking. Each succeeding year add
ed new triumph, and now the third Expo
ton opens under the most favorable
auspices of all. The display is better
than all preceding ones, and the indica-
tons are that the attendance will be
larger than ever heretofore. AS means
of advertising the resources and devel-
opment of this golden Northwest, the
Minneapolis Exposition has been one of
the most successful that has yet been
employed aud in consequence merits
the patronage and encouragement our
people are disposed to give it.

TO UNTANGLE THE SHARL
The Republican Committee Must Uado
Its Work.
IS MIR. SCHEFFER GAINING?
How Republican Papers Are Tryina to
Cause Democratic Di-
vision.

The action of majority Of the nine
members of the Republican county
committee who assembled in Min
neapolis last Saturday at the
court house, in calling the primaries
on the evening of Aug. 80 to elect dele
gates to. the county convention to
be held Sept. IA, for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to
the congressional convention, has
caused such a row in the high moral
Republican party, that Col. Ed. DAY.
export, chairman of the county COM
mittee. hos called another meeting for
this afternoon at 3 O'Clock, to undo the
work which was done at the last meet
ing. The undetermined scheme which
was adopted last Saturday, is under
stood to have been instigated
by one of Sam Snider's heelers
IN the interest of his employer, who, it
is well known, is candidate for con-
commander in chief of the G. A. r.
Rea is said to have stated that he did
not wish to actively engage in politi-
cal campaign until after Sept. 10, at
which time his term of Office would ex-
pre-, and the Snider men by this move
expected to shut him entirely out of the
race. When the action of the
committee, however, became gener-
ally known among the Republicans of
the Fourth congressional district. to saw
there was row would be putting it
mildly. and the way the riot act was
read to Snider and his heelers by prom
lnent Republicans, who threatened to
defeat him at the polls, in case he Sc
cured nomination by any such under
handed methods as calling the primaries
two weeks before the time set for hold
Ing the convention, caused even the
"GOgebic millionaire" to conclude that
he had gone little too far in tie mat
ter
Col. Ed Davenport, chairman of the
Republican committee, also came in for
a severe roasting for his participation in
the Snyder scheme, and, as Col. Ed is a
candidate for the legislature, he has ar
rived at the conclusion that the best
thing he can do is to call the com
mIttee together again to recon-
slider its action. 1t is expected
that. the entire committee, which
consists of thirteen members, will be
present at this meeting, for among the
loudest takers against the five mem
bers who voted for calling the primaries
April 30 are some of the absent mem
berS OF the committee, who say that if
they had been present at the meeting
their votes would have been recorded
with the four members who stood out
so valiantly against adopting such an
outrageous and villain0us motion as
was adopted. Chairman Davenport is
also severely criticised for calling the
meeting in the secret manner in which
it was done, and in refusing to allow
any outsider in the room during the
meeting.

SCHEFFER WORRIES THE
ROSSES.

1t looks as if SCHEFFER would get
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor, after all. He certainly will unless
the MERRIAM and MCGILL bosses con-
bine against him. This they may do,
as the Republican bosses are opposed
o SCHEFFER, realizing, as they do,
that they can not use him. 1t is the
fear of his nomination that has given
the recent impetus to the candidacy OF
GILMAN. While GILMAN has not been
favorite with the Republican bosses,
they know full well that, in the end,
they can use him. He is impecunious,
and they realize that. Once nominated
he must bargain with them for the sim
ews of war in order to have a hope of
election.
While GILMAN is not favorite of the
bosses, he is preferable in their eyes to
SCHEFFER. But their aim is not,
primarily, to nominate GILMAN; it is
rather to bring forward a multiplicity
of candidates, create a deadlock, and
then spring supple tool of the rings
upon the convention and boom him
through. But SCHEFFER, backed as he
is. may carry off the prize.

why Prue Sits on Her Foot.

81 asked her," testifies writer in
the Shenandoah News, ''why she sat on
her foot, and she told me the reason
with alacrity. A woman acquires the
habit when she is young girl. Grow
ing girls do not take SO much exercise as
boys, nor are they naturally as
well able to bear the strain of
rapid growth; consequently their
backs ache. When you sit on straight
backed chair, if you put small bolster
at the edge of the chair it would tilt
you up so that the small of your back
easily touched the chair back, relieving
the spine. 1t is not convenient to carry
near the knee, and throws herself back
i'm comfort"

Strange tapestry. by Nature spun
On viewless looms, aloof from sun.
And spread through lonely hooks and grots
Where shadows reign. and leafy rest
o moss, of all your dwelling spots,
In which one are you loveliest?
Is it when near grim roots that coil
Their shaky black through humid soil?
Or when you wrap, in woodland glooms,
The great prone pine trunks, rotted red?
Or when You dim, on somber tombs,
The ''requiescats'' of the dead?
Or is it when your lot is cast
In some quaint garden of the past,
On some gray, crumbled basins brim,
With conchs that widowed tritons blow,
While yonder. through the poplars prim,
Looms up the turreted chateau?
Nay, loveliest are you when time weaves
Your emerald films on low, dark caves,
Above where pink porch roses peer,
And weodbiaes break in fragrant foam,
And children laugh-and you can hear
The seatings of the heart OF home.

SPINNING SONG.

By carmen SYLVIA" QUEEN OF RoUMANIA.
A maid strolls through the field afar,
Supporting on her head jar.
A pink between her rosy lips;
Her breast is round. and 1.-THE her hips;
She hastes away SO winning,
While spinning.
Her distaff from her belt depends
How simply she her hand extends;
The dancing spindle flies along;
She listens to the May bird song,
Or brooklets gayly DINING,
While spinning.
Beneath the tree the brook runs by,
A tall lad stands and waits to spy;
His chest is broad, his blouse is white,
His hair is black, his eyes are bright
But what is she beginning,
While spinning?
'sNow pass not by so quick and coy,
The jar and fax your hands employ;
So first I'll steal the pink away.
Tho in defense you stand at bay,
A kiss you'll find me winning
While spinning"
She comes forth from beneath the tree.
And she appears so changed TO me;
Her childish arrogance is dead;
Her eye is full of passion, fed
BY thoughts. and dreams beginning,
While spinning. =
