A Political Straw.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The Dispatch of the 5th comes to the
front with one of its usual bright
thoughts in type as follows:
"Harrison is sure to be successful in
November. At the wholesale grocery
house of Price, LOtsch ~ Co. ballot
box is kept, in which all travelling
men drop their choice for president.
During July and August, 141 men Wis
tied their establishment, of whom 81
voted for Harrison, So for Cleveland and
the balance were third party votes"
Eighty-one Harrison, So Cleveland
and in the dark. Knowing the Dis
patch and its wrecking crew, quite
nearly wrecked until last night, when
Merriam was nominated, 1T is fair to
presume that it has not appeared 10 the
said crew that all of these men
represented trusts and Eastern pro-
tected manufacturers. And it is for
the good of the party, bland readers of
the Dispatch, that the GLOBE gives this
space. Think of it. The Eastern man
ufacturers have such protection that
they can flood the country with com
mercial men on large salaries and yet
nearly one-half, i. e. So to 81, are for
tariff reduction-the only issue before
the American people, and the sole issue
in the Democratic platform.
Again: If the wholesale house is to
be Republican in the strict sense OF the
article. why the people can stand it, be-
cause the consumers of these CONNER
cial travellers principals in the East can
Outvote them, ana when this protection
is reduced and certain articles are made
free, there will not be so many protected
gentlemen throughout the land.
ONCE A REPUBLICAN.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1888-09-08
PREPARE FOR ACTION.

Now that all the parties have named
their candidates and have adopted their
platforms, there is no reason why the
political campaign in this state should
not open out in full blast. The Prohib-
ition candidate for governor has already
been out on quiet canvass throughout
the state, while the eminent representa-
tive of the Labor party seized upon the
opportunity offered by the Republican
state convention to make his first cam
paign speech.
1t is singular fact, however, that
although they had full three weeks the
start of the Republicans, the Democratic
managers are still in as quiescenta con-
dition as if there were nOpolitical battle
to be fought this year. Whether this
apparent Indifference on the part of the
Democratic campaign managers is
assumed or real, the GLOBE is not in
formed. But of one thing we are as
sured, and that is, if the Democrats
intend to make fight for Minnesota, as
they ought 10 do, it is time they were
buckling their armor on. They have a
cause worth fighting for, and there
should be no hesitation in entering the
battle, even though the odds be against
them. The milk and cider platform
adopted by the Republicans is con-
fession that the Democratic tariff doc
trine is popular in this state, and if the
Republicans concede it, why should the
Democrats be afraid to inaugurate an
aggressive campaign?
In the next place, the Democrats have
a ticket that they may well be proud of.
The sooner they get their candidates
into the held, and the more time they
have to keep them there, the better will
be the chances of Democratic success.
To bring to public attention a cOntinU-
Gus comparison of the personnel Of the
two tickets is of itself a winning card
for the Democrats.
If because the Republicans nominated
weak ticket the Democrats are led to
infer that the Republican campaign will
not be vigorous one great mistake is
| being made. However deficient it may
be i'm brains, the Republican ticket rep
resents the money bags and the ma
chine power, both of which are potent
factors in any political canvass. Money
and a good working machine are the
! elements essential for thoroughly Or
ganized campaign, and the Republican
managers know how to use both. The
Democrats have to rely upon the justice
of the principles embodied in their plat
form and upon the ability of their can
| didates to eXpOund those principles.
Such being the case. the sooner the
campaign is opened on the Democratic
! side the surer will be the victory.

REDUCING WHEAT GRADES.

The action of the Minnesota ware
house commissioners in reducing wheat
grades has had an exciting effect on the
Chicago wheat dealers. Most of them
protest against it upon the ground that
it will surely result in a perma-
nent injury to the American wheat
trade, and that the effect on Amer.
lean wheat in foreign markets
would probably be worse than
here. The Minnesota No. l hard had
acquired high reputation throughout
the world, and was especially sought
for in the English markets. So much
was it valued that the English papers
had been discussing the project OF buy
ing it direct from the Dakota and
Minnesota farmers to prevent its
being mixed with inferior grades
intransit. Some of the Chicago papers
now say that the action of the Mime
sofa commissioners in reducing this
grade will cause the English buyers to
turn their attention to other markets, as
they will be distrustful of the new
grade. There are others, however, who
are of opinion that the reduction of
grades will not affect either the Chicago
or English markets, but that whatever
injury it operates will be confined to
Duluth and Minneapolis. This view is
maintained upon the theory that wheat,
the same as other commodities, has to
sell on its merits any way. The wheat
that is graded here will be regarded in
Chicago, and thus the purposes of the
change in grades made by the ware
house commissioners will be defeated
after all.

that on the action of congress depends
their prosperity.
If revenue reform means any one
thing, it means divorce of our manu-
featuring interests from congress. 1t
means that every tub shall stand on its
own b,t.om, and not be lobbying at
Washington to secure benefits for itself
regardless of what Burdens it may I'M
pose upon others; and this reform is
now inevitable. The Democrats have
entered upon a national canvass on this
distinct issue. The Republicans, on the
contrary, say that the tariff must be left
as it is. Protection must be maintained
intact. The clothing, tools and ma
chinery of the mechenic, the farmer and
the laborer must be taxed to gorge still
further the plethoric pockets of the
manufacturing milliOnaires.
This is the distinct, clear-cut issue
between the two parties in the present
contest.

Streets Filled With Debris.

HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. Thursdays
hurricane damaged nearly all the pub
lie buildings, uprooted trees and caused
such destruction as has not been eX-
perienced here for many years. The
streets are filled with debris.
Crops are greatly damaged. Railroads
are washed out and telegraph wires
down. The chief loss is among the
shipping. The rising tide overwhelmed
the wharves and swept away guam
titles of goods. Vessels were foun-
dered and barges laden with
tobacco and sugar sunk. Reports
of losses of vessels continue to arrive.
The northern part of the city is under
water, and travel there suspended save
in boats. The loss of the gun boat
Lealtad at Sagua is confirmed. Several
lives have been lost, but comparatively
few considering the violence of the
storm.

The Republicans of Minnesota de-
clare themselves ''uncompromisingly in
favor of the American system of protec-
tion." That is, they favor the creation of
mlllionaires at the expense of the peo-
pie; they favor taxing clothing, tools,
lumber, stoves and tinware, and every
article of domestic consumption and
family use, in order to swell the gains
of''trusts" and monOpOlies flavor the i'm
pOrtation of pauper labor to drive out
American workingmen, as was done at
the COshocton Ohio rolling mills last
Monday. Very we'll! The Democratic
party is not in favor Of any such pol
icy, and the people will decide which is
wrong and which is right.

a Worthy PROPOSAL.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Your readers have doubtless read this
statement, viz:
"The ancestral home of the Washing
ton family, in NOrthamptOnshire, Eng
land, is to be sold. The estate contains
220 acres, and was granted to Lawrence
Washington in 1545. His son, Lawrence,
emigrated to Virginia, and was Gen.
George W ashington's ancestor"
Now, if no final disposition has been
made of the estate, it occurs to me that
it would be a fit and proper thing for the
American people to possess this prop
erty. 1t would crafty noble senti-
ment and honor the name of Washington.
1t would draw closer together England
and American sympathy and friend
ship. Thus would Americans have a
patriots interest in England honorable
to themselves and pleasing to English
men and to all the liberty-loYing people
throughout the world.
The purchase could be made by the
general government, or by the states, or
by direct contribution by the people.

Judicial Amenities.
Somerset Md.) Herald.

SOIiCisSI (4hu.) Heralu-
Some days ago Judge Goldsborough,
of Cambridge, wrote to Judge Irving,
asking his opinion on some points of
law. Judge Irving Immediately went
to his desk and wrote al elaborate re-
ply. just at this point the Judge had
some slight interruption, and when he
took up the matter again few moments
after he placed his reply in a pigeon
hole of his desk, and placing Judge
GoldsbOrOugh's letter in an envelope
addressed it to that gentleman. A vein
of humor seized Judge GoIdsborough on
receiving his own letter, and taking his
pen he wrote:
My, Dear Irving-Sorry you have been
drunk; hope you are better now. Yours, &C.,
GOLDsBoROUGH.
This note was inclOsed in an envelope
with the same letter of inquiry and for
Warded to Judge Irving, who, on re-
ceivine it, laughed till the tears filled
his eyes. Judge Irving is a noble eX-
ponent of sobriety, and that fact is
what makes the joke a capital one.

SWEDISH BAPTISTS.
They Decide to Consolidate the
Summaries at Morgan Park and
StrOmbarp

Stromberg.
CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-To-day's session
of the general conference of the Swed-
ish Church of the United States was
devoted TO the discussion of the school
question, and several interesting adj
dresses on the subject were heard.
Among the more important of the adj
dresses was one by Rev. w. Wingren,
editor of the Swedish journal, Nya
Veckaposten, ON educational Interests
OF the Church" Rev. Christopher Silen,
pastor of the First Swedish Baptist
church, of Kansas City, Mo-, also spoke
on the subject at length, and
brief remarks were made by
fifteen or twenty other delegates.
Rev. DIR. Bates, of Minneapolis, repre-
senting the National Educational so
ciety, addressed the conference regard
ing proposition from the seminary
board of Morgan Park Baptist Theo-
logical seminary to unite the present
Baptist seminary at Stromberg, Neb.,
with the Morgan Park institution. The
Swedish institution, it was proposed,
should come into organic connection with
the Morgan. Park seminary. After a
careful consideration by the conference,
it was unanimously voted to accept the
propositions of the seminary board, pro-
viding certain details are agreed upon
and conditions are accepted, which will
undoubtedly be done. This does not
mean the entire DISCRIMINATION of the
Nebraska institution, which will be con-
tinued by the denomination as pre-
paratOry school.

Too Much Discipline.

Few York Sun.
The reverence which the late Gen.
Sheridan felt for Gen. Grant was curl
ously exemplified some years ago when
they were travelling upon a steamboat.
A young Englishman was on board and
used to take hand at 50-cent poker
with the two generals and another of
the passengers of an evening. On one
occasion the Englishman wanted to get
up to light cigar and requested Gen.
Sheridan to play his nand, which con-
sisted of four jacks pat, for him. On
the Englishman's return he asked how
his hand had PANIED out. oh" said
Sheridan, "the general meaning Grant,
bet me so cents and | called him and
won your pot" The Englishman
looked at him in amazement and then
suffered out: "Wel, I've heard of
military discipline, but Pm hanged if
l ever heard of it going that far"

SENATOR HIsCOCK's VIEW.

A Washington correspondent, in an
interview with Senator HISCoCK, re-
ports that gentleman as saying:
1.-THE industries of the country have
for a number of years been harried with
commissions and bills and debates, and
all sorts of threats, until now they have
sunk under this continuous agitation
into a state of exhaustion"
He says much more in the same
strain. 1t is true that agitation does in
a measure unsettle business. But hav
ing made this admission. we beg to ask
Mr.. HIsCOCK whether we can ever look
to have a freedom from agitation so
long as tariff duties are so high as to
divide opinion and furnish point of
attack toreformers? Does not the chief
fault lie in the fact that the policy of
protection has been pushed so far and
has been applied so generally as to have
created an opinion that it is absolutely
necessary to maintain it if the country
is to have any manufactures We hear
on the one hand American labor, skill
and machinery landed almost beyond
measure, ana yet it is gravely urged by
the same persons who utter these
praises that this labor, with its UNI
doubted advantages, needs protection
from miserable pauper labor.
Is not that inconsistent? These
simple and patent facts prove that the
basis on which the industries Of the
country rest is in measure artificial,
and that they can never be entirely safe
until this artificial support is taken from
them. Not until then will the agita-
ton of which Mr.. HIscoCK so strongly
complains cease, and the sooner such a
basis is reached the better it will be for
the industrial interests of the country.
| The whole history of tariff legislation
in congress proves the impossibility of
securing a respite from agitation so
| long as manufacturers are made to feel
