erence to these who have just Joined

both parties, reply:
The securing Of the electoral votes of
this state for CLEVELAND and THUR
MAN is above and beyond all other con-
siderations. While the Prohibition
vote is very important element in the
presidential campaign, and is likely to
reach $4,000 to 3d. ,aa0. it cannot be
counted as sufficient to give us this
state without the aid of tariff reform

the Republican party and may not now
announce themselves as full-fedged

Men do not change long party affilia-
Tens readily, and even Republicans

tariff question will hesitate and con-
slider the reception likely to be accorded
TO them before openly espousing the
Democratic cause

Because it will be public notice to

with the Prohibition vote, will make

L recognize the justice of rewarding
those who have labored to build I'D a
party, but do not see much reward in
the empty honor of defeat. To pur-
sue an honorable policy, which will
make our present minority party the
majority party in Minnesota, opens
very wide door for giving some practi-
cal honors to the ''old liners"
If Mr.. CLEVELAND carries New York
(Which he willy, but still lacks three

cratic state convention on the 18th,
there will be no HARRISON column in

The Situation.
Window Reporter.

hcpOIttT
The Ramsey county Democracy are all torn
up by the roots, so to speak. There is an in
ternecine war-a rebellion against the bosses
"a fight among the rival candidates-a strug-
gle of the kids against tho ancient moss
backs-a general chewing and scratching, a
kicking of tender shins, and universal pull
ing of hair. The parties in chief to this con-
fiict are said by the organ of the party to be
Hon. Michael DOran on one side and the reg
ular Democratic county committee on the
other. The stake at contest is the delegation
from Ramsey county in the state convention.
The reason for the contest: MIR. Doran's de-
sire to control the Ramsey county delegation
In the interest of his gubernatorial candidate,
and, on the other hand, opposition to Mr..
Doran's debating the course OF the delegates.
The venerable victor in the Minnesota scram-
BILE at st. Louis-so. with refreshing frank
ness. it is stated-has decided that DR.. Ames
shall have no chance to get the nomination
for governor in the coming state convention,
and he is also determined that by no chance
shall Albert Scheffers name be brought up
there. He has made up his mind that he
should name the nominee. But there are
Democrats in Ramsey county who do not like
the dictatorial course pursued by Mr.. Doran
and who are inclined to give Ames, Shceffer
or any other popular candidate a fair show.
They do not see why Mr.. Doran should inter
fere in Ramsey county.

A TAP AT THE DOOR,

A sunny fairy sprite, in dress of white,

there,
Lisped softly. solemnly her little prayer;
Her meeting finger tips.
Her pure, sweet, baby lips
Carried my soul with hers, half unaware
Into some clearer and diviner air.

OF scientific thought the subtle chain;
SO small, so small,
My learning all;
Though l could call each star and tell its
place,
My chlld's .'our Father bridged the gulf of
space.
I sat with folded hands at rest, at rest,
Turning this solemn thought within my
breast
How faith would fade
If God had made
No children in this world-no baby age
Only the prudent man or thoughtful sage.
Only the woman wise, no little arms
To clasp around our neck; no baby charms,
No loving care,
No sinless prayer,
No thrill of lisping song. no pattering feet,
No infant heart against our heart to beat.

Tap at thy heart or door, ahl do not frown;
Bend low to meet
The little feet.

HOW 1T is.

To the Editor of the Globe.
GRAND FORKS, OAK, July 25.-Dear Sir:
The Western Union Telegraph company's
message boys in this city when on duty
wear cap-bands with this legend in gilt
letters; HARRISON and MORTON" Does
this mean that the Western Union is to be
run entirely in the interest of the Repub-
lican party during the campaign? Or does
it merely announce TO the public that the
Western Union falls into line with all other
great monopolies in the war against CLEvE-
LAND and THURMAN, the representatives of
the people? Would like the opinion of the
GLOBE. TINo
You have guessed it right. The
monopolies all stand together for HAIR
RIsoN and MORTON. The anti-mon-
opoly ticket is headed by CLEVELAND
and THURMAN. That is right. The
mOnopolists will support their ticket.
The anti-monopolists ought to support
theirs,

THE ISSUE.

While the politicians are engaged in
angry factional wrangles over the loaves
and fishes, the masses of the people
have not lost sight of the great issue
that is presented in this campaign. The
few Office-seekerS and those who are
ambitious to dispense patronage are
wonderfully turbulent in their endeav-
Ors to get the best of each other. But
the great body of the people, who care
nothing for the offices except that they
be honestly and efficiently admins
tered, are wholly undiSturbed by the
uproar that factional leaders create. 1t
is not question of men, but of princi-
piles, that the masses are interested in.
They are calmly engaged in consider
alton of the most important issue that
has ever been presented to the Ameri-
can people for their determination, and
they are not to be disturbed in their re-
Elections by the noisy clamor which the
politicians are raising.
The tariff question is the one issue
engrossing public attention.

wiping out of the surplus.

the campaign to divert them from the
accomplishment of this one object.
Much less will the selfish ambitions of
professional politicians serve to dis
tract Democratic thought or purpose in
this crisis.
Tariff reform is the Democratic shib-
boleth this year, and whosoever can
pronounce it correctly has passport to
the Democratic camp.
The password is one of Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS own selection, and his party
with one voice approved it.
Every sincere tariff reformer must
wish for Democratic success at the next
election, and every genuine Democrat
will gratefully accept the help of all
tariff reformers in this great battle for
principle.
As long as we are all going the same
road and with the same object in view
we will be brethren, and not fall out
over mere names and definitions.
1t is tariff reform we want.
And 1t is victory for tariff reform
we are going to win.

Calvin Briee, the Man Who
Will Manage the Demo-

A Man Of Keen Perception
and Unusually Strong Ex-
eeeHHt.iVa Ability.
Trained to Grasp Situations,
He Comes to the Work

He Has Taken Off His Coat
and Begun Hard
Work.

NewYork Letter.
Calvin S. Briee, who succeeds Will.
lam III. Barnum as chairman of the
Democratic national committee. is
man noted for his organizing power,
and one whose name is synonymous
with success.
Mr.. Brice was born in Denmark, o.,
Sept. Is, 1916. hence is now completing
his forty-third year. The common
school of his native village, and later
the public school at Lima, O.. absorbed
his attention until he was thirteen years
old, when he entered the university de-
partment of the Miami university at Ok
ford. A year later he began the usual
collegiate course. Before the end of his
freshman year, in April, 1861, he en-
listed and fought for year with the
Union army in Virginia. The next
year he spent in college, from which he
graduated in June, 1868.

Three Times Accused.

Red Wing RepuDl1can.
We have stated that Gov. Hubbard, in the
presence Of witnesses, three times pointed
out to Gov. McGill in the executive Office
that he had falsified his word, and that three
times the governor received the accusation
without reply.
Our information was not secondhand, al
though it was not from Gen. Hubbard him
self. He doesn't go about telling what he
has just done. 1t was from a gentleman In
whose high estimation dishonor comes to a
man not so much from opproprious epi;hets
applied to him as from proof of disreputable
acts done by him Gov. Hubbard used no
abusive term to Gov. McGill. He simply
pointed out to him broken pledge or agree
ment, falsified word, and as McGill paid no
attention to it, made no explanation he re-
CURED to it again and yet third time, and
still McGill was silent. He didn't deny hay
ing given his word as stated. The act which
violated it, he admitted to have done.

Three Brave Women.

Boston Herald.
There were eight persons in the noun
tain wagon. They were at the steepest
pitch in the descent from Mt. Washing
ton, and both springs had already been
broken on the trip, and were bandaged
with wooden splints when the horses
tumbled. The woman ON the seat with
the driver turned an eye of terror to
those behind her. In moment one of
the two men in her party had jumped
from the wagon and ordered the ladies
to dlsmOunt as quickly as possible. The
other man of the party, stricken with
terror, ran into the woods. The driver
sat speechless, holding his reins in hand.
One woman hastened to block the
wheels with stone. The woman on
the front seat unhitched the two span
of leaders from their fallen compan-
ions and led them to a position out of
danger and petted them until they were
quiet. Another woman, and a Boston
lady who is we'll known, stepped up to
the kicking and groaning horses and
disengaged the traces, at the same time
lodging the heels of the disabled ami
mails, and then the driver, who had held
the fort till his assistants had made the
lifting of the team from its pressure on
the disabled horses possible, dismount-
ed and speedily put his team in order
again.

The Tariff Bill.

Northfeld Independent
The Mills bill passed the house on Saturday
by vote of 162 for and 149 against. Hon.
knute Nelson voted in the affirmative, that
is, voted as he has talked-voted as he be-
heved-and is to be honored for fidelity to
his convictions as every other man is who
follows his own best judgment rather than
party dictation. We still think it was a
great mistake that the Republicans merely
opposed the lMills bill, but framed none
of their own. Surely II ;.assy ;;say favored any
change in the tariff they should have en- en-
bodied that change in bill, and thus given
the members Of their own party chance to
vote for the readjustment of the tariff accord
ing to Republican ideas of what that readjust-
ment should be. Party discipline was
strong, but not strong enough to prevent all
independent voting on either side, and we
honor men of both parties who stood for
their convictions,

RIGHTEOUsLY DONE.

It is healthy sign of an improvement
In public sentiment respecting divorces
when we read the record of our district
courts and find that two applications
were denied in one day. Such was the
record of last Saturday, one decision be-
ing rendered by Judge KELLY, of this
city, and the other by Judge LoCHREN,
of Minneapolis. We have no intention
Of entering discussion of the merits of
either case, nor is it designed that any,
thing said in this connection shall have
reference to them. The point we make.
and the one that is particularly graft
flying, is that the time has passed by, in
this locality at least, when divorces can
be obtained upon frivolous pretextS.
And the same improvements are OBJ
servable elsewhere.
Owing to the laXity of marriage and
divorce laws in many of the states, the
courts had fallen into the evil practice of
granting divorces upon motion, without
taking the time or the trouble to make
careful examination into the facts to
discover whether or not just grounds
for divorce existed. The demoralizing
ShCSt VI lOOoO
was beyond all computation. With the
destruction of the sanctity of the mar
riage relation and the general tendency
toward the breaking up of families and
the annihilatlon of the home circle, it is
no wonder that the nation was
being threatened with an inva-
sion of hydra-headed social mon
sters-such as anarchiSm, commu-
nism, free-lOveism and the thousand
and one forms in which the arch enemy
of society makes his appearance. After
all, the home circle is the great bulwark
against the flood of social evil which is
pouring in upon the land. If this pro-
lection is undermined, there is nothing
can save us from the disastrous cOnse-
QuenceS that will follow. If man and
wife are permitted to be divorced upon
any frivolous charge that one may
trump up against the other, how is
the sanctity of the home to be
established, or the integrity of
the home circle to be preserved? In
the light of these truths, how gratifying
to see our judges setting their faces in a
direction opposite from what so many
other judges have taken, and by their
decisions giving solidity to the purest
social conditions.

Non-Partisan Courts.
.ochester Record and Union.

Rochester Record and Union.
The terms of Office of the chief justice and
one of the Republican justices expire next
January. Hence two members of that august
court are to be elected this fall 1t seems to
us that the proper course for both political
parties is to unite on a single ticket for these
two justices. That able and fearless jurist,
the chief justice, should be reelected and
some Democrat like Judge Lochren, of Min
neapolis, or Judge Severance, of Mankato.
should be put on both tickets as his asso-
ciate. This would restore the court to that
balance which the abler partisans in both
parties admit is desirable. 1t would vindi-
cate the action of the administration of 1881,
elevate the court above partisan politics, and
secure ADLER justices than the bargains and
combinations in state conventions will give

A Stray Negro.

Herman Enterprise.
The Pioneer Press comedies that those
counties which are calling their conventions
early are likely to elect Scheffer delegates to
the Republican state convention ON the
ground that the farmers will have plenty of
time to atteud the primaries. This suggests
the question: Why has not the Grant county
convention been called? In justice to the
farmers the convention should be held early
i'll August, so as not to interfere with their
harvesting operations. and any attempt at
holding a late convention will look like an
effort to prevent the farmers from control
ling its deliberations. We will all keep our
eyes open to detect any stray negro that may
be concealed in the woodpile.

McGill's Theory,

Red Wing Republican.
The theory of the governor that he ran
14,5C0 votes behind the rest of the ticket be-
cause the saloon element was arrayed solidly
against the party by the high license plat
form is not sufficient to account for the facts
in the returns. In every county of the state
but two, in nineteen cut of every twenty
towns in the state, Mr.. McGill ran behind his
high license fellows. In city and county, in
rural temperance towns ana brewery pre-
cincts, in villages of low license and villages
Of no license, in places where local option
prohibited sale of liquor and i'll places where
the sale was unrestricted by law or public
sentiment. Mr.. McGill ran behind his ticket
