SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY.

A very significant activity is reported
to be prevailing in the great iron works
of Herr KRUPP. The activity has be-
come so intense that it has rendered
necessary the building of an additional
establishment, and the reason for it lies
solely in the orders for heavy ordnance,
orders which exceed the present capac-
ity of the great establishment. Nearly
every nation of Europe has ordered
heavy guns, and the iron works are, in
consequence, running day and night to
supply the demand.
This activity is very indicative of the
uneasiness which is prevailing through
out Europe. 1t demonstrates that
nearly every nation believes that war
will occur i'll the near future, and that
its coming is so near at hand that all
possible haste must be made to prepare
for it. Ministers may talk of peace and
declare their belief that war cannot oc-
cur. AT the same time they are putting
their armies in the most effective posi-
BILE condition. Their actions speak
louder and truer than their words.
OF course, it is very painful to see
brethren unable to dwell together in
unity, but at the same time,i they must
fight, it is a fortunate thing that Amer
lea is i'll position to sympathize with
each combatant to the extent of selling
each nation, impartially, all the sup
plies necessary.

THAT ACCIDENT,

The horrible accident yesterday, when
an old man who was stranger in the
city was mangled under the wheels of
cable car, conveys two-fold lesson. In
the first place, it illustrates the danger
of getting on and off the cars while in
motion, and in the second place the
criminal indifference of some of the
cable line officials and employees to the
conveniences that a public carrier
is expected to provide for the public.
There are a great many people who
regard it as good athletic sport to jump
on and off the cable cars while they are
running, and who never seem to realize
that they are jeopardizing their lives i'll
doing so. A false step or slip of the
foot will do the fatal work, as it did in
the case of this old gentleman yester-
day. A person who wishes to take pas
sage on cable car should always signal
the gripman to stop, and if the gripman
refuses to heed the signal there is a
remedy against him.
The cable company is derelict in duty
in not putting up sign at the Summit
crossing notifying the public that the
car does not stop at that point, and in
forming them at what point it will stop.
Or. what would be better, there ought
to be platform erected for the accom-
mediation of passengers at the place,
above the crossing, where the cars on
the down run usually stop for an inspec-
ton of the brakes. In the case of the
accident yesterday, there seems to have
been no stop above the crossing; nor, in
fact, did there seem to be any effort to
stop the car while the old man was be-
ing dragged along under the wheels.
The only plea the conductor and grip
man can offer in eXtenuation of what
looks to have been an act of barbarity
is that they were afraid to attempt to
stop the car while going down the Selby
grade, and to do that would be con-
fession that the brakes are not to be re-
lied on. Which horn of the dilemma
will the company grasp?

ruling family, and notwithstanding the
fact that German culture and scholor-
ship are the equal of any in the world,
they must be hampered and Inundated
upon the slightest whim of those in
power, power but little less despotic
than that exercised by the czar.
But there are indications that the
limit has very nearly been reached in
Germany. The thousands of Germans
who in this country have learned to
taste the sweets of self-goyernment are
exerting a salutary influence upon the
Fatherland. There are evidences that
this influence is already having a
marked effect. Not only is it observa-
bic in the increased immigration to this
country, but also in the low and omin-
Gus mutterings of discomfort of which
even BISMARCK has been forced to take
notice.
The human animal is very dangerous
indeed when driven to the point of des-
peration, and that extreme has been all
but reached in Germany.

WHY 1T WAS.

The real reason for the complete over
throw to Congressman RANDALL. in
pennsylvania should not be lost sight
of. Contained in it is very instructive
lesson, and also very effective warn
ing. 1t was not because Mr.. RANDALL
is not personally very reputable man;
it was not because the Pennsylvanians
have an abiding love for Congressman
SCOTT personally.
1t was because Congressman RAN
DALI represented ideas which the peo-
pie, even of monOpOly-ridden PennSyl-
vania, have at last learned to be hostile
to their interests; while Congressman
SCOTT happened to represent the rights
for which they were contending. IL
was not because of any personal fealty
to Mr.. SCOTT that they stood by him; it
was because they made him their mouth
piece. Mr. RANDALL is the most con-
spicuouS exponent of a high protective
tariff. He out-Herods in that respect
the most Republican Herod. The peo-
pie have long appealed to him to listen
to their cries for aid, and always i'll
vain.
The leopard could more easily change
his spots than Mr.. RANDALL his pro-
tectionist opinions. Mr.. SCOTT, on the
other hand, though large manufact-
urer and employer himself, has con-
sistently and persistently advocated the
peoples interests. He has maintained
upon all occasions the vital necessity of
tariff reform. Naturally, then, the peo-
pie turn to him as their champion.
When the opportunity came for choos-
ing, not between Mr.. SCOTT and MIR.
RANDALL, but between low tariff and
a high tariff advocate, they seized upon
it at once, with the result well known.
1t was not a question of men, it was a
question of measures. Had Mr.. SCOTT
been the high tariff champion and Mr..
RANDALL the low tariff advocate, the
latter would have been the victor.
And this same sentiment is finding eX-
preston as occasion offers throughout
the length and breadth of the land.

THE COUNTRY PRESS.

The tone of the country press of Min
nesota i'll its editorial treatment of pol
tiles is certainly higher than that of
many Eastern states. Minnesota has
already entered upon campaign that
will be one of the most bitter on rec
ord. 1t involves as its most startling
issue the perpetuation or disruption of
the local Republican party.
The campaign is further on than the
casual observer would think. Things
have been done, words uttered, Suf-
ficient to cause hot wrath to rise and
reason to be swept away by passion.
Yet the country press has approached
the situation with spirit of mOdera-
ton and fairness, honorable to it in the
highest degree. The tariff has been
discussed with fair intelligence, candi-
dates measured with calmnesS and crit
icism dealt out in courteous degree.
The campaign will be close and bit
ter, but the country press of Minnesota
has entered it in manner to be deserv-
eddy commended. The country editors
of Minnesota have a standard far above
the average

KELLEY AND GRESHAM.

KELLEY, the arch-prOtectioniSt, in
dorSing GRESHAM, the out-and-out free
trader! What a curious spectacle it is.
Illustrative, perhaps, of the inconsist-
ency of the average politician, but still
instructive enough. For may it not be
taken as indicative of the fact that the
most ardent protectionist of them all
recognizes the irresistible tendency
toward tariff reform?
May not Pig Iron KELLEY, astute
politician that he is, recognize the
fact that large portion of his party has
discovered its worship of false idols and
now intends devoting itself to the true
faith? May 1t not be that, observing the
demand of the people for a champion
who will battle for their rights, the
mouthpice of the monopolists is in favor
of temporiZing with them, of allowing
them the letter of their demand while
undertaking to render the spirit of it
null and void?
In brief, may not Protectionist
KELLEY consider it good politics to
favor the candidacy of a free trader in
order that a large section of his party
may not be alienated, secure in the
knowledge that the hands of that candi.
date, in the event of his success, may be
easily tied? Republican tariff REFORM
ers would do well to be suspicious of
such sympathy. They should fear the
Greeks, even though bearing gifts.
There is but one direction in which
they can confidently look for aid with
out fear of being betrayed, and that, of
course, is in the Democratic party,
which stands committed to assist the
people in bringing about reduction of
the UBIQUITOUS tariff.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, May 25.-The
tobacco" question was the main feat
ure of to-day's discussion in the general
assembly of the United Presbyterian
church in session here. Eighteen pres
byterieS had present a memorial asking
the general assembly not to license
theological students to preach unless
they abStained entirely from the use of
tobacco. Many of the ministers use the
''Weed," and the discussion was very
spirited. The report of the committee
was, however, adopted to the effect that
the prayer of memorialists be not
granted on constitutional grounds,
claiming that the assembly had not the
power tOpass such law. The assembly,
however, adopted resolutions strongly
discOuntenancing the use of tobacco
among the ministers and the laymen of
the church. The afternoon was con-
sumed on the question of Home Mis-
Sions." The committee reported the
appropriation of $4,000 for the coming
year and authorized the board to
give assistance to the Associated Reform
church of the South, if, in its judgment,
the prospects of the field would justify
it in establishing psalm singing con-
cations in that section. The report of
the committee on the state of religion
shows that there has been steady
growth in the United Presbyterian
church during the year. There was a
net increase of membership during the
year of 4,351, the present membership
being $500; 2.045 adults have been
baptized and 1896 infants; 907 congre-
cations are reported, 35 Of which
are new organizations. There are 707
pastoral charges, 293 vacant charges
and CID congregations with pastors.
There are $50 mission stations; sixty
seven congregations do not own build
ings. The Sunday schools number 953;
66,450 scholars receive instructions, a
gain of 2,733 scholars. The contribu-
tons of the Sunday schools amounted
to $50, TAG. There are 723 missionary
societies. The contributions during the
year amounted to s1.O19,937. The first
time in the history of the church the
million point was reached. The num-
Der of ministers on the church roll is
75S; 236 are without charges. The even
ing was devoted to temperance.

The GLOBE does not undertake to say
that Mr.. MYERS is guilty or that the
sentence of the court is just. On the
contrary, we realize the fact that his
case was prejudiced by the political
conditions which entered into it, and
we know that the whole machinery of the
state government was actively EN-
ployed to secure his conviction. The
very light sentence that was imposed
for so grave crime is evidence that the
court did not take much stock in the
opinion of the defendants guilt.
But, assuming for the sake of argu-
ment that the verdict of the jury
was in accordance with the evidence
in the case, it strikes us as most
ludicrous that man guilty of ballot
stuffing should appeal to the tender
mercy of a court on the ground that
his sensitive pride would be wounded
by incarceration in public prison, or
that court should be Influenced by
such an appeal. There is no meaner
grade of felony than ballot stuffing. The
man who would steal because he is in
want is to be pitied. Admiration
for the reckless courage of the
highwayman and the skill of
the burglar ameliorates their crimes.
But there is no redeeming quality in
the crime of ballot stuffing. The man
who is robbed of his vote is robbed of
the most precious jewel the American
citizen possesses. His gold and his sill
yer cannot compare in value to this
IneStimable boon, which enables him to
protect both his life and his property.
When an American citizen is cheated
out of his vote, he is deprived of his
title of sovereignty. The ballot-stuffer
is the vote robber, and there is no pun
1shment short of hanging too severe
for him. The righteousness of ballot
suffer appealing for clemency On the
ground that Imprisonment would NOR
tlfy his personal pride, is only equaled
by the farce of law which permits
such light punishment for so grave an
Offense.

NOT LIMITED.

In its last Sunday issue the New York
Sun devotes column and a half edi-
torial to the discussion of the marvellous
development of the Mississippi valley
within the last half century, and pre-
SentS Herewith statistics of the growth
of st. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, st.
Louis, Kansas City, Memphis and other
cities, from which it figures out that the
eighteen states and three territories
embraced within the Mississippi sys-
TEN contain A per cent of the entire
population of the United States, and
contribute something like IS per cent
of the entire agricultural products of
the country. The consolation that the
Sun derives from this tendency of the
star of empire to pursue its course
westward is that New York is still the
common center of all this mighty
region, and that, as in olden times all
roads led to the imperial city on its
seven hills, so will New York continue
always to be the metropolis of the
Western world. VIII it?
That New York will always be great
metropolis is undeniable. Its position
and prestige will forever give it suprem-
acy on the Atlantic coast. But has it no
Pacific coast rival to fear? Is not the
day coming when the products of the
Mississippi valley will find better
market OH our Western shores? These
are questions that our great Eastern
metropolis must face in the near future.
The fact is, our great Mississippi valley,
with its teeming millions and bountiful
haryests, cannot afford to have all roads
lead to one metropolis. We must have
two -One to the east and one to the
west, and both competing for our trade.
The Rocky mountains, which were once
supposed to be inSurmountable barriers
between the Mississippi valley and the
Pacific coast, have been leveled by the
skill of modern engineering, and no
longer stand as an obstacle in the path
way of commerce. The links of steel
connecting our fertile valley with
the Pacific coast are multiplying,
and will multiply until there
will be as many roads leading in that
direction as in the opposite. One ad-
vantage is that we are to have the East
and the West both competing for our
trade, with the additional advantage of
the outlet nature has provided by way
OF the mouth of the Mississippi. Our
great valley was never designed to be a
pent-up Utica, dependent on one sea-
port for market. In the language of
Monte Cristo, the world is ours, in a
commercial sense, and we propose to
take possession of our Inheritance. We
do not underestimate the Importance of
New York to our mighty section. yet we
do not propose to have our enormous
trade placed under the domination of
one metropolis. We of the Mississippi
valley are free traders in the original
sense of the term, and all the four
quarters of the globe shall provide
markets for our products.

First Presbyterian church, of st. Paul,
against the Synod of Minnesota, in
Severlng his connections with his con-
gregation, was under way when it was
cut short by the call for the regular
order of the day, which was the report
OF the standing committee on foreign
missions. DR.. Herricll johnson, of
Chicago, chairman of this committee,
made very encouraging exhibit
of spreading the gospel among
the heather. That report recon-
mended the contribution OF $1,000, 900
for the cause of foreign missions during
the present year. The committees re-
port and accompanying recommends
tons were adopted. These recommen-
cations included one added by Rev. DR..
Crosby to send seven elders to attend
the organization of the Presbytery of
Rio de Janeiro. Brazil. in August next.
LIZ was announced by Dr.. Crosby that
the expenses of such a commission
would be borne by private subscription.
A cordial response was read and ordered
TO be sent to the salutation of the con-
ference of the Protestant Episcopal do
cese OF Pennsylvania. A recess until
2:3O was then taken. AT the afternoon
session DR.. McCosh reported back as in
order the appeals of Judge Drake
against the Synod of Baltimore in the
cases of DR.. George o. Little and Rev.
l. 5. Hamlin, of the Church of the
Covenant, Washington, and the as
sembly found itself dangerously close
to general discussion of the question
OF responsive readings of the Scriptures
In public worship. DR.. Calvin W.
Stewart came to the rescue with
motion to have the trial of the appeals
referred to judicial commission, which
was agreed to after opposition by some
commissioners, who wanted the question
settled right then and there on the floor
OF the assembly. Rev. j. L. Smith, d.
d., OF Baltimore. then read the report
OF the committee of conference with the
Southern assembly in organization.
The question of the relation of the
colored people in the South to the
church is thus disposed of in the COM
mittee's report: 'We are of the opin-
ion that our assembly will agree to
basis of organic union, by which the
present boundaries and constituencies
OF presbyteries and synods in the South
snail remain i'll statu quo to be changed
only with the consent of the parties in
tereSted; and that all new churches and
shall be organized by and received into
connection with presbyteries and
synods respectively as the interested
party may mutually agree"
GOV. Beaver moved to refer the mat
ter to special committee to report to
the assembly at the earliest possible
moment, its report to take precedence
over any other order before the body.
This was adopted, and the moderator
appointed as the special COMMITTEE JUS
tice Strong and DrS. Crosby, Young,
Hoyt and Sanders. Adjourned till to-
morrow.

1T DOESN'T PROHIBIT.

Minnesota prohibitioniSts and the adj
vocates of license so high as to be
practically prohibitive will be much in
terested in the Investigations which
have recently been made by several
thoroughly impartial newspaper men
regarding the workings of the prohibi-
tory law in Maine. The friends of pro-
hibtion have had every opportunity in
that state to test the efficacy of the
measure, but despite the statements of
Gen. NEAL Dow and others, it seems to
have been an absolute failure. Each
one of the newspaper men who took it
upon himself to find out the true state
of the case discovered numerous sa-
looms, freely open, and had no difficulty
whatever in purchasing any kind of
liquor. Their experience was identi-
cal with that of the writer, who,
being i'll Maine shortly after pro-
hibition went into effect, personally
experienced an exactly similar state of
affairs. There is no concealment about
it. The liquor is sold as openly as it
ever was, drunkenness is as frequent,
and the only difference is the loss to the
city or town of the license money by
means of which very appreciable diff
ference in the general tax rate was
made possible. Impatience of restraint
is a characteristic of human nature. 1t
is that feeling which makes man all
the more DESTROYS of doing what he is
forbidden to do. 1t has exhibited itself
i'll defiance of prohibitory laws in
Maine, and in Kansas and Iowa as well.

BROKE JAIL.
Three Prisoners Fatally Injure
the Sheriff and Escape,

DELPHI. Ind, May 25.-Three
prisoners in the Monticello, Ind, jail
Ed. Chamberlain, Albert Benson and
Robert Catterson-assaulted Sheriff
Joseph Henderson and escaped last
night. The sheriff went into the corri-
dor to lock the prisoners in cells when
Chamberlain struck him down with an
iron bar and all three rushed into the
Jail office, smashed window and
jumped. The Sheriff's injuries are
fatal. Chamberlain is under indictment
for numbering Eta Wittenberg, his
sweetheart, at Reynolds, six weeks
ago. Benson and Catterson are tramps,
awaiting trial for highway robbery.
Both have served time in the Michigan
City penitentiary. Before leaving, all
three wrote long letters. Chamberlain
said that the unwhOIesome atmosphere
of the jail was undermining his health,
that this was his only chance for his
life, that he had done right to murder
his sweetheart, and would advise others
in similar situations to do the same
things. The trampS said that there
was no chance for them to get justice in
Indiana. The whole country for miles
around is aroused, and it is not thought
that Chamberlain can possibly escape.
The sheriff entered the Jail with a
cooked revolver, but was completely
trapped. His wife witnessed the affair
and gave the alarm
