The independent labor party, in con-
vention at Detroit, Michigan, after dis
cussing the platforms OF the different
parties, unanimously decided to endorse
Harrison and Morton. They hold that
the interests of the laboring man are best
subserved by a protective tariff.

A GREAT BRIDGE,

New York is to have bridge which,
if completed, will dwarf everything
hitherto attempted in that direction. 1t
is contemplated to erect bridge over
the Hudson, between Jersey City and
New York.
This bridge will not only be destined
for the use of foot passengers and We
hicles, but will also carry five lines of
railway. This is, indeed, its main OBJ
ject. People who have had occasion to
visit New York are cognizant of the an
noyance incident to the ferrying neces-
sary when the city is entered by way of
Jersey City. The great bridge will not
only do away with this. but will bring
the traveller into the heart of the city.
The enterprise thus becomes one OF
national interest. The bridge will ex-
coed in size the present Brooklyn
bridge, itself the greatest triumph of
the bridge engineers skill up to tn e
present time. 1t will have a single span
of over half a mile, and its total length
will be fully mile. e
This country is the scene of tremen-
dous exploits. 1t takes pride in doing
things on gigantic scale, and, SO far as
engineering feats are concerned, it has
never had more legitimate object of
pride than this projected bridge.

tract. In fact, he refused to say any
thing, and his trusted friends are now
giving out the secret that they hold the
proofs of ALGER's commercial politics
in their hands, and will make them pub
lie if ALGER continues to deny the
truth of SHERs1AN's original state
ment.
If Senator SHERMAN expects the pub
lie to accept his statement as an I'M
questioned truth, he will have to pro-
duce the testimony. He is a soured,
disappointed old man, who has never
been prescriptions in his political
methods. The bulk of his strength in
the Chicago convention came from the
Southern states, and if he is him
self the pure and upright statesman
he would have the country believe that
heis, what was he doing with such seal
awag lot of cattle in his following that
they could be bought and sold on every
street corner for penny dozen? We
are not disposed to deny the truthful
ness of his charge against ALGER, but
in making it SHERMAN gives himself
dead away. The incident seems to
illustrate to what depths in corruption
the leading lights of the Republican
party have descended.

RAILROAD BUILDING.

The amount of railroad building that
is annually done and the business done
by the various roads furnished an adj
mirable index of the general prosperity
of the country. 1t is therefor very
gratifying to observe that, despite the
prophecies made by those who have
knowledge of the subject, the railroad
building during the first half OF the
present year not only comes up to the
average, but far exceeds it. 1t is, in fact,
within 400 miles of last years record,
which was the greatest ever known.
Over $500 miles Of track have been
doubled before the year is out. mas
much as this building is not concen-
trated, but is distributed all over the
country, it indicates that the prosperity
which it represents is also general.
There may be instances of local depres-
sion here and there, but the country as
a whole is in highly prosperous con-
dition. New sections are being settled
and old sections are being better devel-
Oped.
The wants of the people have in
creased, and the new railroad building
answers the demand for increased
transportation facilities. And not the
least gratifying feature of the record is
that large portion of it was made by
the Northwest. No other section is de-
veloping so rapidly, and consequently
there is none to which the capitalist
may more proftably give his attention.
All in all, it promises to be an exceed
ingly good year for the country at large,
and the railroads should receive due
credit for the part they play in bring
ing it about.

THE NAVY ABROAD.

1t is proposed to send the new naval
vessels recently constructed to foreign
stations. and queerly enough, the propo-
sltion meets with opposition in certain
quarters. 1t is curious to know what a
war vessel is for, if it is not to cruise in
foreign waters.
The American vessels now abroad are
by no means credit to the country.
They only serve to bring into disrepute
the country of whose niggardly naval
policy they are such an admirable ex-
ample. The new vessels will at least
compare favorably with the modern war
ships OF other nations and will reflect
no diScredit upon the country whose
flag they fly.
If there is any duty at all for the navy
to perform, it is certainly upon foreign
stations. Doubtless the charm of
American seacOast resorts is very fas-
cinating to the average naval officer,
but it is little too much to ask that the
movements of the navy shall be so
ordered that they may most readily
bring themselves under its influence.
We haven't much of a navy at best,
but that which we have should be made
to earn its salt.

The Speaker Taken Down With
Hemorrhoids-His Condition Not
Critical.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-Samuel j.
Randall lies i'll at his residence on Capt.
t0l hill. He was taken ill last night at
10 O'Clock with a hemorrhage of the
bowels, which lasted fully fifteen min
utes before it could be checked. AS
result he was very much exhausted,
and was in imminent danger for short
time. He rallied. however, under the
ministratiOn of DR.. Thomas F. Mullane,
and during the night obtained some
sleep. To-day he has steadily gained
in strength, and tonight is rest
ing easily. His physician states
danger unless there is recurrence of
hemorrhage, of which at this time there
is no indication. During the day Mr..
Randall has partaken of liquid nOurish-
ment, which has assimulated well. His
family are not apprehensive as to his
condition. A daughter who is away has
not been sent for, she being merely in
formed that her father was i'll, but not
dangerously so. DR.. Martin, Mr.. Ran
dalPs Philadelphia physician, who
during the last three months has
been treating him for trouble
some hemorrhoids, arrived here tonight
and will remain until Mr.. Randall
has recovered from his present attack.
The most alarming rumors about his
condition were prevalent about the
capitol and hotels during the day and
late this afternoon. One rumor had it
that he was dying. These rumors had
the effect of sending throngs of
people to his modest home on Capitol
hill to inquire about his condition.
Scores of his colleagues in the house
and members of the senate were among
those who anXiously sought information
as to his condition and were much re-
lieved to find it not dangerous. Numer-
Gus kilograms were also received from
New York and elsewhere, where alarm
ing accounts of his illness had been
published.

open the larynx and preparations were
made to perform the operation on May
70, when DIR. Mackenzie saw Frederick
and declared the disease was not can
Ger, and opposed an operation. DIR.
Mackenzie removed portion of the
growth, which DR.. Virchow examined,
was taken from the actually affected
part. DR.. Gerhardt examined Freder-
ick's throat after the piece had been re-
moved and accused DR.. Mackenzie of
removing a piece from the unaffected
part of the throat instead of from the
diseased part. DR.. Mackenzie replied
that it was possible he had done so. The
German doctors protested against DR..
Mackenzie'S treatment throughout.

Gerhardt'S statements, and gives the
reasons why he lost confidence in DR..
Mackenzie.
ALL ENGLAND IS EXCITED,
Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, July 10.-The report of the
German doctors of the late Emperor
Frederick'S case has caused an immense
sensation in England. 1t remains to be
seen what effect the statement of the
German physicians will have. If the
report published to-day is accepted as
true a great revulsion of feel
ing towards DIR. Mackenzie will
be the result, but his report
that he has promised is awaited
before any opinions are expressed re-
garding this, perhaps, the greatest
medical controversy of the present
time. Many will doubtless regard the
German report as inspired by jeal-
ouSy and malice, and, as far as
England is concerned. DR.. Mackenzie
will still be the recipient of honor. In
Germany it will be quite different, and
the English doctors name will be re-
garded with lOathing.

LONDON, July 10.-Sir Morell Mac

said, could see from a review of the
case that the charges against him were
ridiculous. DR.. Mackenzie would not at
present enter into the details of his re-
port.

THE OMAHA CASE.

An interesting decision has recently
been rendered by the interstate COM
merce commission in the case of the
Business Mems Association of Mime
sofa against the Omaha Railway COM
pany. 1t will be remembered that this
case was argued before the commission
at Omaha last March. but the report and
opinion of the commission have just been
made public. Discarding all the legal
verbiage, and taking nigh cut ON the
roundabout way that judges and law
yers have of getting at the meat of
case, the decision is in favor of the rail-
way company and the order of the COM
mission is that the petition be dismissed.
The complaint against the Omaha
company was that its rates south and
west of st. Paul were higher than the
rates from the lake ports to st. Paul.
The railway company pleaded in de-
Tense that it was compelled to make the
discrimination because of the cOmpeti-
ton between st. Paul and the lake
ports with the st. Paul q Duluth road
"a road which was not subject to i'll
terstate regulation because its line was
the Omaha road in this position the
commissioners say: 1.-The words, sub
stantially similar circumstances and
conditions,' found in the second and
fourth sections of the act to regulate
commerce, as we understand and con-
strue them. in certain important par
ticularS define the duties and rights of
carriers and the rights of shippers as
well. If the carrier claims to act under
cOmpulsion of circumstances and
conditions of his own creation or con-
nivance in the making of an exceptional
rate, then these will not avail him. If e
carrier claims to act under compulSion OF
circumstances and conditions which he
could Obviate by reasonably fair and
just eXertions on his part in the making
of an exceptional rate, then they will
not avail him. But if the carrier is in
good faith acting under the compulsion
of circumstances and conditions beyond
his control, not of his connivance, and
which he could not obviate by any rea-
soDably fair and just effort on his part,
and, to avoid overwhelming loss, adopts
exceptional rates forced on him by the
action of an Independent state road
which is not subject to the act to regu-
late commerce, and which is operating
a shorter and competing line with his
own, these are, in our opinion, under
the operation of the statute, circum-
stances, and conditions which justify
him in doing so.''
Such in brief, is the gist of the de-
cision of this case, which has special in
terest to our Northwestern people. and
the additional general interest that it is
the first case decided by the commission
in which this point was involved.

Views Regarding Overdue Gus

OWAsHINGTON, July 10.-Charles Cur
rie, of New York, recently requested
Secretary Fairchild, on behalf of certain
importers of that city, to instruct the
collector of customs to forward to the
department for consideration several
certified statements prepared in settle
ment of suits brought by importers for
the recovery of alleged excessive duties
that had been withheld for refund. The
statements were alleged to have been
withheld because the parties in whose
favor they were drawn were indebted
on certain bonds remaining nncanceled
at that port. The matter was submitted
to the collector at New York for in
vestigation and he reported that the
certified statements were withheld be-
cause of the non-cancellation of num-
Der of overdue custom house bonds.
which had been turned over to the
United States attorney for prosecution.
In a letter to Mr.. Currie, Secretary
Fairchild says: SIN the opinion of the
department., the lifetime of the said
bonds having expired, the penalties
therein prescribed have become debts
due the government, and consequently
the collector is justified in Withholding
the said certified statements until such
debts are discharged. either by the pay

HE'S A PROHIBITIoNIsT.
The Sort of a Republican the Pho
neer Press Democrat Is.

A prominent Democrat of Northfeld
MIMI. and chairman of the city Democratic
central committee, has resigned his position.
ana says that he cannot support Cleveland
and the Democratic platform. Possibly he
might support one at time, but both to-
gether prove too much of an allopathic dose.
1.-The world do move Pioneer Press.
The above not only conveys an erro-
neous impression, but makes serious
misstatment in respect to the gentle
mans not being able to support the
Democratic platform. He just as much
believes in Democratic principles as
ever he die. and publicly announces his
intention to support Macdonald in this
district. But though as between Harri-
son and Cleveland he would be emphat-
lcally for Cleveland. he believes that the
temperance question overShadOwS all,
and has joined the Prohibition ranks.
But If the Democratic party loses one
man in this way, the number of lifelong
Republicans who have turned their
backs on the party this year and joined
either the Democratic or ProhibitiOniSt
ranks in this town and county can be
counted not by scores but by hundreds.
BY STILL ANOTHER.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The Pioneer Press announces with a
HOuTlSn UllaG lion. w. h. Moses,
prominent Democrat of this place, re-
fuses to support Cleveland and his plat
form. This is partly true and partly
untrue. A Fisk and Brooks club was
organized here last night, and fifty-eight
voters enrolled. OF this number at
least fifty-five have heretofore voted the
Republican ticket. The president is
Horace Goodhue, Jr., of Carleton col
lege, a former Republican. Mr.. Moses
has always been more of a Prohibit
zionist than Democrat, not having
voted for Cleveland in 1884, nor Ames
in 1886. The Pioneer Press corresponds
ent carefully refrained from mentioning
the fact that large numbers of Repub-
licans here have openly denounced the
Chicago platform, many of whOm;have de-
Jared that they will vote for Cleveland
and Thurman, while others will vote for
Fisk and Brooks. Every indication is
that, with judicious nominations by the
Democrats this fall, Rice county, which
has always been Republican in presi-
dental years, will roll up substantial
majority for the Democratic ticket.
