DAMAGES by HIGH WATER.
The Lamoille River Raised Six Feet-Logs
and Cut Grain Carried on.

The effect of Fridays storm seems to
have been felt to greater extent in La
noble county than elsewhere. The La
noble river raised six feet, and low land
along its banks was flooded. The boom
at Bucks mill was broken, and $1,000 logs
escaped. A large quantity of cut grain
as also seen fioating down the river
Damage is reported at other points along
the river toward its mouth. The st
Johnsbury and Lake Champlain track
was washed out at several points so that
it was necessary to carry passengers by,
but Conductor Henderson reported yes
to-day that the washouts had been filed
in again.
Our Milton correspondent writes as fol
lows The recent rains have swollen the La
noble river and early Saturday morning,
Hon. Jed p. Clark received n telegram
from Messrs o. aud A. II. Buck, that
their boom had broken at johnson and
about 1000 Goa feet OF logs were atloat.
Mr. Clark immediately sent a gang OF
men to the lower falls TO put in boom to
stop them. They began to arrive about
$3.50 p. M, and most of them will be saved.

REPUBLICAN, SUCCESS.
Senator Edmunds's Reasons why He
1hinks Harrison will he Elected.


thinks Harrison will BE Elected.
Senator Eimunds, in answer to a CORE
spondent who asked HIM whether he
thought the republican party was going
to win on the business Issue involved in
the tariff question, said "While that
may afford a good and sufficient reason for
defeating the democratic party, think
the republicans are going to win because
the people are disappointed and disguised
with the promises and pretenses of the
democratic administration. This admin
istration came into power heralded by
declarations that it was going to reform
and puffy the government 1t was to
put a stop to corruption and republican
extravaganza and to turn out dishonest
and rascally officials. 1t came into power
and found no corruption. 1t could not
discover any rascally officials to punish
In other words, it obtained power through
Misrepresentation. There is no doubt that
there was, during the last campaign, 4
number of people who had become al
fected by this large democratic charge OF
republican NAL administration"

There is also probability that at the

In view of the fact that the Democrats

for Democrat to scratch single name

watch for these hirelings. When you

file it away for future use. Give him
to understand that he is known as

THE PRICE OF COAL.

The advance in the price Of coal, and
the consequent great additional outlay
required in order to keep warm, has nat
urally been the source of much discon-
tent and downright hard feeling among
consumers. In many instances persons
who are not informed as to the causes
are disposed to blame those who are =
blamelesS. When a person buys an
article and is forced to pay an eXtor-
tionate price the natural impulse is to
blame the seller for the eXtortion. Thus
the local coal dealer gets the first rap
every time consumer buys ton
of coal at present rates. This is
wrong, because the local dealer is as
blameless as the consumer. His margin
of profit is no greater when coal is $40 a
ton than it would be if coal were only So.
There are others who lay the blame on
the miners, who 60 on strikes and cause
lockouts. This is also wrong view OF
the case, and the poor workingmen
should have all the credit that is due
them; for these miners are the poorest
paid and the wOrst-used class of work
men in this land, and while they ad d
millions of dollars every year to the
wealth of their employers, they are no
better off themselves and see no pros
pect of Improvement in the future.
The whole cause for the coal eXtOr-
ton rests with the coal kings them
selves, the owners and operators of the
mines, and there are no extenuating cir
cumStances. The coal magnateS NOT only
fix the price of the goods they sell, but
they limit the supply to so many tons,
so that the market can not be glutted
and there can be no possible chance for
''bear" movement to reduce the rates.
They meet at certain times in con-
gross composed solely of coal barons.
They determine the price and the num-
Der of tons to be put on the mar
ket. When that is done they set
their slaves to work and bring
up the desired amount as soon
as possible. Then when the nations
supply of fuel is out of the ground, the
men are discharged and left to shift for
themselves, or starve, until the next
crop is due. This is not the story of
one season, or two. 1t is the history of
coal mining in Pennsylvania ever since
the coal barons got control of the mines
and the railroads.
1t costs just GO cents ton to take the
coal from the ground, break it and place
on the railroad track ready for ship
ment. Then the coal barons fix the
price at $3.50 or 81 for coal that has cost
them 60 cents. In addition to this they
own the railroads, and rope in additional
gains by extortionate freight charges.
Every man who burns coal OF buys
coal should know that we could have
the best coal in the fields OF Pennsyl-

COMPARE THEM.

The occasion is an exceptional one,
therefore no apology is needed for the
GLOBES departure from its usual Gus
tom of refraining from discussion Of
political matters in its Sunday issue,
and inviting the attention of our read
ers at this time to some points OF
political character that merit their con-
sideration.
What we have to say in this connec-
ton is intended more particularly for
our Democratic readers, and yet it will
not hurt our Republican friends to give
heed to our remarks. There are some
readers of to-day's paper whom we
may not have opportunity to reach again
before the election. therefore we invite
their attention for short while.
In the first place we want to remind
our Democratic friends that we have a
ticket in the field this year to be proud
of, and the more we compare it with the
opposition ticket the prouder do we
feel.
1t is ticket, too, to be proud of from
the top to the bottom. from our candl-
date for president down to the candidate
for the smallest county Office.
Compare GROVER CLEVELAND with
BENJAMIN HARRISON.
Compare ALLEN G. THURMAN with
LEVI p. MORTON.
Has any Democrat reason to be
ashamed of the comparison?
Then take our state ticket; compare
EUGENE NJ. WILSON with WILLIAM K.
MERRIAM, and will not every Demo-
cratic heart swell with pride? Compare
DANIEL BUCK with A. E. RICE, and SO
Oh through the entire list of candidates
for state offices.
Then Tier. compare grand old EDMUND
RICE with his youthful competitor for
congressional honors.
Come on down to the county ticket,
and size up each candidate on the Demo
cratic side with his political opponent,
and everywhere the advantage of the
comparison is with the Democrats.
Such being the case, what possible
excuse is there for any Democrat to
scratch his ticket on election day? 1t is
all right for the Republicans to scratch
their ticket on election day, because the
reasons are abundant for doing so The
more it is scratched the better the Re-
publican ticket will be.
The Democrats have a ticket to be
proud of; consequently every Democrat
will be proud of the opportunity to vote
his ticket straight, without blemish or
eraSure.

nomination. have so perverted OF with
held facts ard assaulted me so vindic-
lively, that feel justified in asking the
attention of the public. 1 am charged
with hardness in presenting the matter
to the public, to which L reply:
My st. Cloud speech explained
clearly and correctly that it would
not have been made but for
the ''BIack Flag article in the Mime
apolis Tribune. l have for weeks stated
unreservedly in conversation (not con-
fidentiap, and mong others to leading
friends Of Mr.. Merriam's, that knew
witnesses of the corrupt use of money

would be glad to be put in a position to
subpoena witnesses to prOve:my allega-
lions. l have told them they dare not
open case against any person for any
statement that could be made re-
garding such corruption. Such an
action would materially increase the
population of Europe or Canada with
fugitives escaping the witness stand.
Mr.. Merriam's managers, from personal
conversation, are aware that | know the
charges to be true. Very few well-iu-
formed men profess to doubt the truth
of them. In selecting man to come to
st. Cloud to speak last night in Wifi
cation of me, while protesting to vindi-
cate Mr.. Merriam, his managers select
ed Col. Kerr, of ST. Paul, but formerly
of st. Cloud, and an old-time
bitter opponent of mine; but the
point make is that Immediately after
the state convention Col. Kerr was one
of the most bitter men i'm the state in
characteriZing the dishonesty of Mr..
Merriam'S nomination Col. Kerr'S Of
flee is located near that of Mr.. Merriam'S
chief disburSing agent, in the Gilfillan
block, st. Paul. Col. Kerr then said he
would neither vote nor speak for Mr..
Merriam on account OF the dishonest
nomination. Plenty of good witnesses,
among whom are judges Of the district
and supreme courts of Minnesota, can
be brought to corroborate this statement.
What has suddenly overcome Col.
Kerr's conscientious convictions, and
was Mr.. Merriam obliged to secure a
defender among those who proclaimed
the dishonesty of his nomination.. AS

A ROYAL LOVE.

loved love, a royal love,
In the golden long ago;
And she was fair as fair could be;
The foam upon the broken sea,
The sheen of sun. or moon, or star,
The sparkle from the diamond spar,
Not half so rare and radiant are
AS my own love, my royal love,
In the golden long ago.
And she had stately palace halls,
III the golden long ago.
And warriors, men of stainless swords,
Were seated at her festive boards.
Fierce champions Of her lightest words.
While hymned the bard the chieftains'
praise,
And sang their deeds of battle days,
To cheer my love- my royal love,
In the golden long ago.
She wore a stately dladem,
In the golden long ago,
Wrought by cunning craftsman's hand
And fashioned from a battle brand;
As fit for the queen of soldier land,
Her scepter was sabre keen,
Her robe robe of radiant green,
My queenly love- nv royal love,
In the golden long ago.
Alas my love. my royal love.
OF the golden long agoi
For gone are all her warrior bands,
And rusted are her battle brands,
And broken her sabre bright and keen,
And torn her robes of radiant green,
A slave where she was stainless queen,
My loyal love, my royal love,
OF the golden long ago.
But there is hope for my royal love
Ofihe golden long ago:
Beyond the broad and shining sea
Gathers a stubborn chivalry
That yet will come to make her free,
And hedge her round with cleaning spears,
And crown her queen for all the years,
My only love, my royal love,
OF the golden long ago.
