MERRIAM WALKS.

"Tell it not in Gath, and speak 1t not
in the streets of Askelon," but Banker
MERRIAM actually walked in process
sion at Rochester Saturday night, and
carried a torch. This shows to what
straits a candidate. can be forced.
The original plan of the ROches-
ter parade was to have Mr.. MER-
RAM hauled through the streets
in chariot drawn by four milk-white
SteedS. But some one suggested that
this was giving too aristocratic tone
to demonstration that was to be wit
messed by plain farmers. Then the
programme was cut down to one white
horse and a Silver-mOunted saddle, on
which the Republican candidate for
governor was to eXh hit himself to the
people of Minnesota. Still. this had too
much of the silk stocking tinge to suit
the managers, so they concluded to let
MIR. MERRIAM foot it along with the
rest of the boys. OF course, it was hui
initiating to the gubernatOrial nominee,
but he had the good sense to take his
medicine without grumbling. After
all, the exercise did him good, for he
needed it: and then after the parade he
had a chance for q good rest. as he
lolled On the velvet cushions of the
palace car which brought him back to
st. Paul. and which is furnished to him
by the railroad magnateS for campaign
ing purposes.

The Head of LOndon's Police.

Baltimore Sun.
The supreme chief of the police and
detectives is Sir Charles Warren, man
who has not the first qualification,
either by nature or education, for the
position he fills. He illustrates the so
often unfortunate theory of primOgeni-
ture. Sir Charles had been a soldier,
and served with fair credit. but had no
executive experience or knowledge of
police detail when he was placed in
charge of the force of the greatest CITY
in the world If he had been man
content to pose as fgurehead, and al
low the reinS to be really held by
capable lieutenantS, not much harm
would have been done; but unfortunate
ly he is a equity, irascible, stubborn old
martinez, who insists upon man
aging affairs solely to suit him
self. He must certainly have sue
ceeded, for he has suited nobody else.
In person Sir Charles could be best de-
scribed as beefy. He looks like the En-
glish comedy major one sees On the
stage, retired on half pay, who swears
by the Times and Swears at everything
else. He is said to have urged the sec
rotary not to offer a reward in the
Whitechapel affair, which is probably
the case. as such a step would bring
a multitude of shrewd priuate detectives
into the case, and Scotland Yard is not
fond of rivalry. A rather curious fact,
but one that explains away a good deal
of failure, is that the best men of the
office are constantly at work on politi-
cal matters. In the turbulent state of
British politics the party in power al
ways have plenty of detective work to
be done, and the government resources
are at their disposal. Such thing is
almost inconceivable in this country.

WILSON'S WAR RECORD.

And now the Republican organs are
charging that EUGENE WILSON was a
''rebel." Whether he now favors the
payment of the rebel debt, the pension
ing of the rebel soldiers, and the return
of the negroes to slavery, we are not
told, but there are two weeks yet be-
fore the election in which to make these
allegations. At any rate. the organs
tell US that during the civil war MIR.
WILSON. was a rebel. He enlisted in
the federal service. raised company,
and was elected 10y his men and COM
missioned by Gov. MILLER captain of
1t; but this was done. say the organs,
''upOn condition" that he was to be sent
to fight Indians, and never to be called
on to take up arms against the COnfed-
crates.
II Is snch stuff as this that Repub-
lican arguments are commonly made III
lies and balderdash. Every man of
sense, and especially every old soldier,
knows full well that during the Re
bellion no officer or soldier was allowed
to enlist on terms, to pick out his serv-
ice. His oath of enlistment obliged him
to support his government and to obey
all the orders of his superior officers.
Had Capt. WILSON been ordered to
DiXie's land, or to the heart of Africa,
he would have Obeyed-he would have
had no choice in the matter. Every
soldier knows that.
The charge is wretchedly low-fiung
and absurd. Capt. WILSON'S loyalty to
the government was well known to his
neighbors and to the people of his dis
trict, who sent him to congress as soon
after the war as might be. Had he
been the ''rebel" which a certain Min
neapolis paper says he was, his men
would not have chosen him for their
leader; and had there been faint OF
diSloyalty about him, the sturdy old Re-
publican war governor would have re-
fused to commission him. 1t is trne
that he was sent to the frontier instead
of to the South, but the entire regiment
was sent with him, and for that reason
the charge of dislOyalty and copper
headism may as well be made against
his colonel or any other officer or man
VI Tie CcCOllu
Capt. WILSON'S service was lengthy
and faithful. As is well known in Min
nesota, it was necessary, in order to pro.
tect the people from recurrence of the
horrible massacres of 1862. AS hundreds
who are alive can testify, it was full of
viciSsitude, peril and hardship, and was
very trying. There was much hard
work to do and much privation to un
dergo. without scarcely a show for the
glory that might have been won on the
fields of the South with scarcely any
more danger. Capt. WILSON was one of
the youngest officers in the service, but
he was one of the best. His war record
is unimpeachable, and the falsehoods
that few of the unprincipled papers
have published are like ''the father of
Them" black, gross and palpable.

WAGES IN PENNsYLyANIA.

The Philadelphia Record has been in
vestigating the subject of ironworkers'
wages in Pennsylvania. The advocates
OF the prohibitOry tariff claim that that
measure is all benefcence in its opera
ton throughout the United States, and
especially in the Keystone state, where
the iron industries are involved.
Here" they say, ''wOrkmen are paid
the highest wages on earth. Don't re-
duce the tariff on iron and steel goods
for their sake, if for nobody'S else"
The Record has made thorough i'll
vestisatiOn, and printS.a long expose of
the real situation at Pottstown, Phe-
niXville, PencOyd and other centerS of
the iron industry IN p Pennsylvania. The
report is fair and explicit, and shows q
really surprising state of affairs. The
wages of some of the Pennsylvania OPP
eratives are actually less than those
paid English laborerS for the same
work. The earnings of others are
nearly the same.
Pennsylvania puddlers earn on an
average sl.95 per day, OF sll.70 per
week; English puddlers receive $40.
Puddlers' helpers receive 81. so in Penn
sylvania: in England, 1920. At the
Pottstown fOundries common laborerS
receive but 81 day; heaters helpers,
S1.65. The beSt-paid men are the heat
erS, who are able to make $500 day.
Out of the wages received all of the
operatives are compelled to support
their families, if they have any. Some
of these people live on dollar week.
All of the foundrieS and factories swarm
with Hungarians and other foreigners,
who live i'll wretched shantieS, furnished
them by their employers at from 81 to
s. month. These are the American
workingmen" whom Mr.. BLAINE and
his people are so anxious to protect"
Wages have been steadily decreasing
for years, as foreign cheap labor has
been imported. Nearly all of the native
born employees are anxious to leave and
seek work elsewhere. and would do so
if they had the means of transportation
for themselves and families.
And yet, in the face of these existing
facts, the country is being flooded with
lying statements to the effect that the
irOnworkers of Pennsylvania earn good
wages from SIS to SIS per week.
and that their condition is happy, pros
porous and enviabe-all the effect of
the high tariff. of course.
The Record is continuing its investi-
cations. and is doing a good work. 1t
is Pennsylvania paper, and is largely
circulated in that state. If its state
ments upon this subject were untrue
they could be easily refuted, but they
are not even denied.

THE COMMONPLACE WOMAN

We have read, as you know, for ages and
ages,
OF willowy maiden devoid Of spine.
A fabulous, prehistoric young person,
Who OH white ofan egg and cracker could
dine.
But write to you now of commonplace
woman
Who shockingly healthy and fearfully fat.
Who never has headache or nervous prostra-
ton
Commonplace what could be more so than
that?
She doesn't do Kensington cat-tail rushes.
Nor has she screen with one-legged
She doesn't adore Charlotte Russo or blanc
manages,
But prefers unromantie, commonplace
pork.
She hasn't a quilt of crazy, silk-patchwork,
Nor the tiniest bit of crocieted macre1ne.
She cannot perform Beethoyen;s sonatas.
Nor sing but the most commonplace little
lay.
She hasn't q gift for the art decorative,
FASTING japanese monsters Oh Yankee stone
jar,
That stands in a corner to look so aesthetic.
But that grieves 10 the soul the old house
hold Lar.
She never paints song birds nor crickets on
china,
To be drowned every day in our tea-cups,
alasi
Or forms cabbage roses of ribbon on velvet,
And naught does she know of the much
hammered brass.
She cannot write poems that glow like fur
Nor sonnets as cold as the Apprentices
snow,
For if She chops up her ideas into meter
There's rush in the ebb, and a halt in the
flow.
She doesn't believe she was born with a mis-
sion.
Unless, it may be, to be happy and well;
Nor does she at all understand protoplasm,
And looks upon women who do, as
sell"
But there's worse to be told of this common
place woman,
Who owns neither bird, nor dog, nor pet
cat
They say that she's really in love with her
husband,
Commonplace: what could be more SO than
that?
And when we all stand at the last dread trib-
unal,
Where great and where small arc assigned
each part.
May the angels make room for The common
place woman
Who know, uaught OF literature, science

FOUND IN TIME.
A Waits Wanderings Over the
Prairie.

Prairie.
Special to the Globe.
SYKEsToN, OAK. Oct 21.-As Farmer
Robert Griffith, who lives about two
miles west of this place. was going to
his barn to attend to his stock his atten-
tention was attracted by a Toy about
seven years old. The little fellow APP
peared terribly frightened and would
have run away into the darkness, but
MIR. Griffith took the cold and half
famished child to his house and en-
deavOred to learn who he was and
whence he came.
All he could tell was that his own
name was Michael.
He said he went out hunting geese
in the morning and couldn't find his
way home. He was barefooted, and in
his wanderingS across the burnt prairie
had become footsOre, and had been
without food since his breakfast at
home. Mr.. Griffith started out III
search of the little wanderers home,
and at SykeSton he met searching
party in quest of lost boy, and soon
the child was restored to his anxious
parents. He proved to be the child of
Mr.. Mccoy, farmer residing about
hfteen miles northeast of this place.
He had gone out in the morning with
his older brothers to hunt geese, and
becoming separated from them wan-
dered away. 1t is not known how far
he travelled, but when found he was
seventeen miles from home by the
nearest route. He must have kept away
from the trails and buildings as no one
had seen him during the day. Had the
little fellow passed Mr.. Griffith's and
gone south, he would probably have
never been found alive, as the Coteaus
lie off III that direction and there are no
settlers for twenty-five or thirty miles.

NEW YORK,

A gentleman Of this city. anxious for
information concerning political affairs
in the East, recently wrote to q friend
in whom he had confidence, and whom
he knew to be in position to be well
posted, asking him to give a candid
statement of the political outlook in
New York, Connecticut and New Jer-
sey. The substance of the reply was
that in Connecticut the outlook was
hopeful for CLEVELAND, in New jersey
a reasonable certainty, and that New
York was absolutely safe for majority
anywhere from 10000 to 10000. Refer
ring particularly to New York, he gives
as the grounds of his belief that the
state will go for CLEVELAND the fol-
lowing substantial reasons:
First-HiStory proves the larger
the vote in New York the larger
the Democratic majority. The state
never goes Republican except on a
light vote. The triangular fight in the
metropolis will increase enormously the
city vote, and that controls the state.
SecOnd-There is no labor ticket in
the field. HENRY GEORGE and the bulk
of his following are supporting CLEvE-
LAND.
Third-The Prohibitionists are max
ing great fight, with every prospect of
running their vote up to 10000. The
Conklingites will stay away from the
polls or vote for FIsKE and BROOKS.
They are publishing letters from CONK-
LING to old friends in New York to
prove the treacherv of the BLAINE-HAR-
RIsoN faction for the purpose of arOus-
ing anti-BLAINE feeling.
Gov. HILL recognizes that if he runs
ahead of CLEVELAND in the state, he
will dig his political grave. The old
| TuDEN men are red-hot for CLEvE-
LAND, and if there were anything to
create a suspicion that HILL knitted
| CLEVELAND in this election, that
would be the end of DAvID's political
career. That is why in his Oswego
speech, at the opening Of the campaign,
he implored his hearers, il they could
not vote for him, for Gods sake to vote
! for CLEVELAND anyhow. There will
| be no trading on the state or national
! tickets. Gov. HILL. and DAN LAMONT
| are close friends, and all the talk about
a disagreement between HILL and
! CLEVELAND is poppycoek.
Fifth-BLAINE cannot transfer to
HARRISON the Irish vote he got in 1884.
There is no Democratic diSaffectiOn in
any locality in the state.
Sixth-BLAINE is cutting HABRI-
SONS throat every time he opens bis
mouth, and is unquestionably doing it
with malice aforethought. Immedi-
ately on his arrival in New York from
his European trip, Mr.. BLAINE was given
to understand by Chairman QUAY that he
did not have mortgage on the portfolio
of secretary Of state in case HARRISON
was elected. The rumor that such was
the case had already damaged the Re-
publican cause. The result was that
Mr.. BLAINE went to his Augusta
home as mad as & wet hen, and tina!

drama was put on the boards by John
Murray's company. Poor old John
Murray is gone, nobody knows where,
and Grace Hawthorne has risen to
fame and wealth in foreign lands.
but The Sea of Ice'' is still
great drawing card in Minneapolis, as
was abundantly proved by the packed
house at the Peoples theater last even
ing. 1t was really notable production
OF the play, and it pleased the big audi
ence Immensely. Especial attention
was given to the spectacular features
of the drama. The settings in all the
five acts were new and all were highly
creditable. That in the second act,
however, was the most remark
able. The scene was the polar
sea at night. Great icebergS rose cold
and fOrbidding on either side of the
stage, and floating cakes of ice occupied
the intervening space. The aurora
effect, and the arrangement of the
lights was novel and striking. The
story of the play is strong and
romantic one, and it gives am
pie opportunity for emotional acting.
Miss Marie Wellesley as Ogarlta
won the honors of the evening. j. B.
Brown, as the captain of the steamship
Urania, and J. B. Burton, in the lead
ing comedy part, also came in for llb-
eral share of the applause. Theodore
Hamilton. who was cast as Carlos, the
adventurer, had part not quite to his
liking, but he is too good an actor not
to make the most of his opportunities.

KILLED BY a BURGLAR.
A HoOsiep Shot Through the Heart
at Midnight.

MARION. Ind, Oct. 2l.-At 1 o'clock
this morning on the principal street in
this city Andrew Morgan, of Xenia,
was shot through the heart and killed.
Two other bullets pierced Morgan's
shoulder and arm. Two men did the
shooting, as the balls extracted were of
different caliber. Following the shots
two men were seen running eastward.
This morning the trail was followed a
mile, and the track showed that one of
the fugitives was in his stocking feet.
It was discovered also that II. j. Rams
mans general store had been robbed.
The theory Is that Morgan discovered
the burglars at work and they shot him,
because dead men tell no tales. The
murdered man was twenty-eight years
old and unmarried. There have been
no arrests.
