Democrats, if they got into power,
would ruin the country, but four years
have proven that the country can pros
per wonderfully under Democratic
rule. Now the boot is on the other leg.
Mr.. Blaine has declined. He has de-
clined a great many times, and
James G. Blaine is the smartest
and brightest man of the Republican
party-he is smart enough to get in out
of the rain. No one understands the
political situation of the country better
than he does. We have also the ad-
vantage of the issue, with the idea that
currency is the life-blood of the nation
upon the basis that it should all be in
circulation. The Republicans have
taken $l25.O00,0O0 from the people
and piled it up in the treasury.
Free whisky is the one great statesman
like proposition of the Republican
party. We remember that in the last
days OF Roman history the taxes were
SO heavy that the people committed
cans now promise us high taxes, and
admit free whisky to soothe or kill us.
But this is time for ratification, and
l can only enjOin you to stand together,
and the North Star state will be among
the bright galaxy of Democratic vic
tors.

LAST NIGHTS MEETING.

That the enthusiasm which prevailed
at st. Louis over the grand ticket the
Democratic party has presented to the
country Is in no danger of subslding,
was well evinced at last nights enthu-
siastic ratification meeting at Market
hall. 1t was an endorsement of the most
thorough nature, splendid in its sponta-
neity and emphatic in its enunciation
1t left no doubt at all about what Min
nesota Democrats think of the ticket;
though. indeed, there was no doubt eX-
listing before. The distinguished gen.
tlemen who spoke voiced the senti-
ments Of every Democrat in the state in
declaring that CLEVELAND and THUR
MAN, the champions of the peo-
pie, would present an invincible
front to the enemy next November, and
were men who deservedly aroused the
enthusiastic support of every patriot.
The meeting listened to good Demo-
cratic doctrine exceedingly well put.
1t heard arguments which cannot be re-
futed, and whose echoes will be
heard at the polls. 1t was en-
thusiastic because there was reason
for enthusiasm. 1t was a meeting
strongly indicative of the feeling ami
mating the great masses of the people.
1t was an occasion which augurs well
for the belief that Minnesota has had
enough of the ways of the monopolist
and will join in seeking relief through
the Democratic party under the noble
leaders chosen at st. Louis.

CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.

The st. Vincent New Era makes
most excellent suggestion respecting
the circulation of campaign literature.
1t is that, instead of wasting the cam
paign funds in circulating the usual
number of trashy tracts, which nobody
reads, the state, district and county
committees employ the funds in dis
tributing newspapers. The GLOBE in
dorses this idea particularly with ref
erence to the distribution of local pa
pers.
The Republican managers have al
ways been wiser than the Democrats in
this respect, and they have reaped a
corresponding benefit from it. They
recognize the fact that the newspaper
is read by the masses when all other
literature is eSchewed. People will
take time to read the news when they
cannot find time for other reading. And
it is invariably the case that when a
newspaper enters the family of farmer
every line of it is read by every member
of the family. The farmers are the
ones whom the Democrats want to reach
this year. The Democratic tariff doc
trine is just what the farmers are thirst
ing for. 1t is not the Democratic farm
ers alone who need RECALLING with low
tariff literature; it is consoling to
them and they should not be
without it, and as a rule will
have it. But the Republican farmers
are the ones who need it most, for it is
the sinners and not the righteous who

Bowans was arrested yesterday for

but being blind could do but little.
BowanS slashed HIM terribly all over
his face and body with a razor. He

are called to repentance. The duty of
see that good Democratic paper goes
into the hands of every farmer in this
state during the campaign.
The New Era is kind enough to sug-
gest that the GLOBE, which it desig-
mates as ''a preacher of surprising elo-
quence and ability" should be dis
tributed broadcast over the state dur
ing the campaign. The GLOBE mod
estly acknowledges the courtesy
exhibited by our ST. Vincent
friend, and while we have faith
in our own doctrines and honestly
believe that every man, woman and
child in the state would be benefited by
reading the GLOBE the year round, and
hope to see every one of them come to
the same conclusion, still we do not
think the efforts of the Democratic
committees should be confined to circu-
lating the GLoRE. 1t is of more i'm
portance that the country press should
have general circulation in their re-
spective localities. The county COM
mittees should make it point
to see that the county paper is
placed in the hands of every
voter in the county during the cam
paign. That is the way to do good mis-
sionary work. The Republican man
ayers will probably pursue that policy,
and the Democratic managers should
certainly be UP with them. In the Ian
guage of the New Era, the Democrats
have a banquet of fat things prepared,
and the newspapers should be made the
heralds to go out and invite the fam
lshing people unto the feast.

THE ENIPEROR's DEATH.

Yesterday was a sad day for Germany
in more senses than one. The death of
the Emperor FREDERICK terminates a
brave and pathetic struggle, with which
the whole civilized world sympathiZed,
and though it does not come with the
force of the unexpected, it will be ac-
cOmpanied with hone the less regret on
that account.
For Emperor FREDERICK was man
in every way worthy of respect. Not
only did his people love him because of
his estimable personal qualities, but
they held him in veneration because of
the bright future which, through him,
seemed awaiting them. Though as
much natul al-born ruler as his doughty
old father, he had grown to manhood
during time when the tendency of the
times was towards liberalism, and he
had sympathized with the movement.
In the prolongation of his life lay the
hope of the lettering of autocratic
power in Germany and the assertion of
the people.
A man of liberal disposition and broad
mind, hating the strife of battle, yet as
brave soldier as any. his inclination
was away from despotism and toward a
more democratic administration of the
states affairs, SO far as democracy can
exist in monarchy. The people to him
counters with which the game of war
might be played. He recognized the
fact that they were endowed with
rights, privileges and liberties which it
was his duty to protect and preserve.
Under him Germany might have looked
forward, not only to the continuance of
peace, but to an approach to something
like a constitutional government.
But by his death all these hopes are
blasted. Germany takes step back
ward. Again the government becomes
as much of despotiSm as it was on the
day Emperor WILLIAM assumed his
title as the ruler of united Germany.
For the new Emperor WILLIAM, under
the autocratic tutelage of BISMARCK,
has become the very personlfcation of
the monarchical idea. He is all that,,his
revered father was not. With him the
people and their rights are nothing, the
dignity and supremacy OF the empire
and its emperor everything. With an
avowed taste for military career, he is
not likely to devote himself to the arts
of peaceful government. Completely
subservient to BISMARCK, the latter
will virtually be the emperor, and the
deSpotic disposition of the chancellor is
only too well known, while the youth
full emperor himself is said to be desir-
Gus of becoming second FREDERICK
the Great.
So that all in all, unless the newly
made emperor develops as great refor-
nation morally and mentally as did gay
Prince HAL when he donned kingly
robes, Germany has indeed sorry
prospect before her, and the friends of
liberty have good cause to mourn.

Emperor's Death and Batch of
Pension Bills.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The senate
amendments to the bill authorizing the
construction of a bridge over the Ten
nessee river near Knoxville were con-
Cured in, and the bill was passed. A
motion to consider the army appropri-
alton bill was defeated. Mr.. Townshend
gave notice that he would call it up to-
morrow. Consideration of bills on the
private calendar followed. Several
hours of debate enSued on several bills,
but they were finally laid aside. Bills
granting relief to Ellen p. Malloy and
the heirs of John Ii. Newman were
passed.
McCreary, of Kentucky, stated that
the secretary of state had received from
Minister PendietOn dispatch announc-
ing the death of the emperor of Ger
many. He would therefore offer the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, by the house of representatives of
the United States of America, That we have
heard with profound sorrow of the death of
Emperor Frederick of Germany. He was
distinguished as soldier, having been made
field marshal for his conspicuous services
in the Austro-Prussian and Franco russian
wars. He was friendly advocate of con-
sentative and liberal policy in Germany, and
We express our respectful sympathy to the
German nation in the loss of their great and
renowned ruler.
Mr.. McCreary asked for immediate
consideration of the resolution. Mr.
Smith, of Wisconsin, objected, but was
induced to withdraw his objection. The
resolution was then passed, and at 5
o'clock the house took recess until s
d. M, the evening session to be devoted
to the consideration of private pension

WICHITA, Kan, June 15.-From the
statement of Charles Rice, farmer who
came in yesterday from Stevens county,
the scene of the railroad and county
seat fight, between the town of Hugsten
and Woodsdale, it appears that the en-
tire population is under arms. The sit

ton, will have the effect of quieting

A Mysterious Find.

SAuLr STE. MARIE, June 15.-Word
comes to the Sault by diver named
Joe Anderson, of Detroit, that while
searching for wreck at Point au Frams
a few days ago he discovered a heavy
box in deep water which, upon close
examination, was found to be sunk by
heavy weights attached to the box by
chains. He returned to the village, and,
after procuring assistance, managed to
raise the box, when to the horror of all, it
was discovered to contain the remains
of an apparently young woman doubled
up and forced into the box She was
well dressed. Whether a dark deed has
been committed or not it is hard to.say,
but there are no indications of an or
binary burial having taken place.
Further details are anXiously looked for.
There is certainly some deep mystery
about the affair

THE STATE PRESS.
Mr.. Comstock's Record.

ST. Cloud Times.
Mr.. Comstock is more or less a believer in a
protective tariff. The platform upon which
he stands is meaningless, and leaves him
free to say that any reductions which may be
proposed are not ''judicious.' This word
'judicious" is one of wonderful elasticity,
and can be stretched enough to suit Pig Iron
Kelly, if need be. The Farmers Alliance of
Minnesota and this district cannot and will
not accept such declaration as a guarantee
that they will be properly represented on this
great question. Another weak point in Mr.
Comstock is his close and intimate assoca-
ton with certain great railroad interests in
this district. Those who are posted know
how closely he has been identified with these
corporations. The president and other alli-
ance officers are probably fully posted
thereon. Mr.. Comstock, therefore, may be
set down as a protectionist and a railroad
man. Can the farmers of this district afford
to elect such representative to congress?

Der, and have drawn their strength en-
tirely from the Republicans; and finally
the eyes of the people have opened to the
iniquity of the tariff tax. They have seen
that the Republicans are responsible
for its continuance, and Minnesota Re-
publicans have joined with Minnesota
Democrats in demanding relief. From
every county convention in the state
comes the cry and the implied threat
that, since it has been refused them by
the Republicans, relief will be sought
through the Democratic party. Mime
sotians are not hide-bound by party ties.
They are accustomed to think for them
selves and are very apt to incline
toward the direction where their inter-
estlies.
But let us, for the edifcation of Ed
itOr DANA and others, look at some
figures. The highest majority received
by any Republican in 1856 was 1900.
This is the margin which the Repub-
licans hope to work on in the
fall election. The Prohibtionists in
innate that their vote alone will be 90
600; it was $4,000 two years ago. Not
one of these votes will come from the
Democrats. The low tariff platform of
the Democratic party will add hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of votes to the
Democratic number. All the other ten
denotes mentioned will increase the
Democratic strength. The total voting
strength of Minnesota is 100000. Who
can say then that with the narrow mar
gin of 1900 against them and all the
various causes enumerated in their ia
vor, the Democrats have not more
than fighting chance of carrying Min
nesota?
Editor DANA's advice is not the part
of wisdom.

AS TO MINNESOTA

The New York Sun, which, despite
its lapses from grace, assumes to be the
general sponsor and mentor eXtraordi-
nary for the Democratic party, has, of
late. been paying some attention to
affairs in the Northwest. AS the result
of its observation, the esteemed but
cratic Sun admonishes the party not to
be so foolish as to entertain any hope
whatever OF carrying Minnesota. 1t fur
Their proceeds to say that Minnesota is
reliably and certainly Republican, that
Democrats should make no effort what
ever to bring about different state of
things. but that all energy should be
concentrated upon New York. We
fear that Editor DANA is be-
coming faint-hearted in his old
age, for exception may well be
taken with both his premises and
conclusions. Of course the Republicans
have a big advantage in Minnesota.
They have heretofore been vastly in the
majority, for not only has the whole
machine of state patronage been eXerted
in its favor, but the federal patronage
had also done its part in developing Re-
publicanism. Not only were these in
fiuenceS at work, but the eyes of the
people had not yet been fairly opened
to the injustice which had been done
them by the Republican maintenance of
the high tariff tax.
But now change has come over the
scene. During the past four years
some pretty good Democratic doctrine
has been instilled; younger element
has come to the fore, which is largely
Democratic; the foreign-born citizens,
upon whom the Republicans formerly
counted for their majority, have shown
commendable disposition to come over
to the Democratic ranks; the Prohibi-
tionists have largely increased in num-
