oRAToRlCAL CONTESTS.

The vast deal of good that may be ac-
complished by oratorical contests, such
as that which took place in ST. Paul
Friday night, between students of local
colleges, is rarely appreciated by people
who have not given the matter especial
attention.
The art of public speaking, particu-
larly eXtemporaneOuS speaking, is by no
means common, yet it's desirability will
be universally admitted, particularly by
those unfortunates who, not having
been favored with ''the gift of the gab,"
have sat through long banquets with
the disagreeable consciousness of being
expected to make speech at the end.
Id fact, the number of men who, called
upon without notice, can make an inter-
esting five minutes speech, is exceed
ingly limited. Yet there is no reason
why the art of public speaking should
be confined to the pulpit, the bar. or the
lecture platform.
1t is an art acquired by practice, and
if taken up in time, not especially diff
cult to learn. That is where collegiate
" L
give young men a facility for public
speaking which they would not easily
acquire in later years, and an experience
which they are sure to find valuable
some time, no matter what their calling
may be.
That there is need of such education
in this country, especially, where con-
ventions and legislative bodies are con-
tinually making a demand upon the
oratorical powers of citizens, is particu-
larly obvious to any one who has OBJ
served the proportionately small num-
Der of even fair speakers in such bodies.
Any man of education ought to be able
to express his ideas concisely and intelli-
gently in public, and that so few can
do so is evidence sufficient that instruc-
ton in this direction is necessary.
Such instruction is admirably given
in the oratorical contests which have
become such popular feature of
several educational institutions in Min

A WELCOME FOR WOMEN.

1t is pity that the plea which comes
to the GLOBE from Farmer REEVE, of
Dakota, for increased feminine immi-
grafton to that territory, was not made
public during the session Of the WOmen's
convention. That body, then, might
have taken official action upon it. and
lave given it the further publicity it de-
serves. 1t might have found in it also
solution of some of the veXed problems
with which the time and brain-poWer of
the convention were occupied.
Farmer REEVE points out very clearly
that gallantry is on the increase in
Dakota and that the maid, fair or other
wise, who comes to the broad prairies
remains single only of her own volition.
He demonstrates further that the cir
cumStanceS necessary to the establish
ment of happy homes exist on almost
every quarter section in the territory.
The men are willing and able, but the
maids are scarce. Col. DOMAIN has left
the territory. The matrimonial bureau
is not in operation, and there is no
longer official and easy means of inform
ing the great army of unmarried East
ern women of the inducements that ex-
ist in favor of their fastening toward
the setting sun. The women's conven-
ton might easily have pointed out the
way to overcome the difficulty, but it
adjourned needless of its opportunity.
Something must be done. Either Col.
DOMAIN must be recalled, or matrimo-
NAL agents must be sent to the East.
In the meanwhile the Dakota bache-
lors continue to pile up wealth and
stand ready to extend a warm welcome
to any desirable woman who may wish
to come out and share it with them. At
least so Farmer REEVE assures us, and
we have the most implicit confidence in
his veracity.

RACHEL AND LEAH.

If among Bible characters SARAH
and HAGAR serve to illustrate the inn
possibility of two women living under
the same roof, then RACHEL and LEAH
are counter illustrations to prove that
such thing is possible.
1t is quaint love story, that of ia
COB and RACHEL. There are not many
like it in modern times. The young
men in this age of materialism are in
capable of such sublime devotion to fe-
male excellence as was exhibited in the
Jacobian period; and still the most
singular part of it is that such beauti-
full trait should have found develop
ment in young man who had so re-
Gently been guilty of the scurviest trick
one brother could have perpetrated
upon another. 1t is an argument against
total depravity.
With all his waywardness JACOB pos
sessed his chivalrous nature. His first
meeting with RACHEL on the open plain
of Padan-Aram is a lesson in gallantry
worthy the attention OF the young men
of this generation. 1t was long, wear
isome tramp young JACOB had after
leaving his fathers home, How tired
he must have been when he stopped at
the we'll in the field to slake his thirst;
how sore were his bliStered feet, and
how he must have longed to battle them
in the cool waters. In forty-nine cases
out of fifty the young men of these
United States, under similar circum-
stances, would have jawed LABAN's
servants because they didn't quit their
work and draw water from the well.
They would have paid no attention to
the sun-burnt, rustic maiden who ex-

DRAMATIC DRIFT.

Arthur Rehan's Comedy company
played at the Grand last week to
small business in comparison with the,
merits of the company. The manage
ment unquestiOnably made mistake in
running "Nancy & Co." the first four
nights when they had play so much its
superior in reserve for the last two
nights. tits safe to say that if the COM
pany had opened in ssLove in Harness.
the weeks business would have been
doubled. The first-named play was
only a light farce. while Glove in Har-I
ness'' was genuine comedy, chock full
ences are critical, and if they can't get
what they want they will not have any
thing.
The attraction at the Grand all this
week will be the well known actor,
JAMES O'NEILL, in his equally well
known play, sMonte Cristo," whichiis
Naturalization of DUMAS famous ro-
nance. Mr.. O'NEILL has made great
hit in this character, and notWithStand-
ing Monte Cristo' has been seen by
pretty much every theater-goer in this
country, it retains a wonderful popu
larity.
Mr.. O'NEILL's manager announces
that sMonte Cristo" will be deliberately
mounted this season, and the entire
production will be perfect in every de-
tail. The scenery is all new, having
been painted expressly for this seasons
production by one of New York's best
scenic artists. In addition to Mr..
O'NEILL in the title role the cast in
cludes j. w. SHANNON, j. 81. SHEwELL,

A Slight Mistake.

Crookston journal.
Some papers still insist that the Fifth
district is ''solid for McGill," notably
the Brainerd News. There can be no
doubt in the minds of the readers of the
News that its editor is ''solid for Nc
Gill;" and that c. T. Kindred is ''solid
for McGill." but the News is published
down there in the pine woods, sees
nobody else and seems to have the idea
that Kindred and Dewey is the Fifth
district This is slight mistake, which
the News would be able to see clearer
if it was out on the prairie where it
could see more than rod at a time
from its own doorstep.

It's Played Out.

Omaha World.
The ''bloody shirt style of campaign
will prove the worst sort fizzle if tried
this year. People realize as they never
did before that old issues are as dead as
the flower of the American youth which
fell on both sides during the civil war,
and that new issues as pressing and as
vital as any ever before the country are
here and must be met. The So-called
statesmen who are trying to make Rome
howl because some Ignorant black man
down South is afraid to vote, know as
ands of intelligent white men are dis
franchised by corruption in every North
ern city, but not one of these 5000
year patriots has tried to devise way
to prevent it.

VALuE OF PLuCK.

One explanation of the absorbing in
terest with which the people have
watched Mr.. COMBINES struggle with
death is in the fact that pluck is al
ways admired, and pluckier fight has
never been seen than the one Mr.. CoNK-
LING has been making. A man of less
determined will power would have sue
cumbed long since, but the testimony of
the physicians goes to show that pluck,
tinguished sufferer to keep the upper
hand.
1t is but another exhibition of the
quality which enabled him to rise from
comparative Obscurity to prominent
place in the affairs of the nation and to
the virtual leadership of his party. The
men of mental force and determination
who hold to the maxim, ''Where there's
a will there's way" are never found
in the background.
Pluck will tell as well as blood, and
generally more so. 1t is the people who
give up easily, who are daunted by OBJ
stacles and overwhelmed by difficulties,
who make failures of their lives. Bull
dog tenacity Of purpose is very nearly
akin to genius, and for the practical pur-
poses of this life is even better. Mr..
CoNKLING has shown that he possessed
it to remarkable degree.
Psychology contains no more inter-
esting study than the mysterious ability
which the mind sometimes possesses
of being able to override and conquer
physical infirmitieS ordinarily capable
of bringing life to speedy termination.

short-sighted in Politics.

Preston Times.
Personally, Albert Scheffer is one of
the most genial and whole-souled gem
tlemen in the state, but with all this he
is lamentably short-sighted in politics.
His acceptance of the nomination for gov
ernor at the hands of few cranks and
would-be leaders of the farmers has de-
stroyed every hope for his success in
that direction. The farmers of our
state are not fools, and if they do not
come down on this seff-cenceited COM
mittee like thousand of brick, we shall
greatly miss our guess. We only regret
that as good man as Scheffer should
have been compromised by its action.

There appears to be considerable di-

Scheffer is seeking the Republican or
Democratic nomination for governor.
He processes to be Republican, but his
ayowed principles are more Democratic
than Republican. In these troublOuS
times a man has to be either the one
thing or the other to succeed, and we
very much fear Mr.. Scheffer is neither,
and it is really too bad. lie is too good
a man to fall by the wayside.

Minnesota is entitled to seven electors,

one from each of the congressional dis
