Outlines Of the scheme for q new party
III the Southern states are given hi our
this morning. It is to evolve
this wonderful new exotic that has, it Is
limited, called to Gen. HarrisOn's feet a
delegation Of Southern manufacturers
representing millions of capital, who
have unburdened themselves on this sub
ject to the President-elect.
The project lie a startling one, In that
it not only proposes TO eliminate from
Its fold the old Bourbon element. Of the
South, but also the negro, and, more
still, the mellifluous carpet-bagger. The
novelty Of the arrangement will com
mend it to the curiosity Of the public.
1t is a case of Hamlet sans Hamlet.
There is a certain air Of impudence in
the scheme which gives it piquancy'
It will be observed that the projectors OF
the scheme are blatant protectionists and
roaring Republicans. They are also men
who have gone to the South to do bust
ness. These carpet-baggers, these latrant
Republican protectionists, these fellows
who have fatted for years on the Offices
and wealth brought TO them through
the high tariff iniquity, made possible by
the negro vote, propose to form a new
party and leaye out the carpet-baggers
themselyes) and the negroes (their other
selvesD As to eliminating the s~o-called
Bourbon element" from their calcula-
lations, it is absurdly audacious, since
this Element" would not be particularly
edited by an invitation to join the
Northern ~ire-eateTs with whom it has no
common bond or anything butantipathy.
Non-afiliation with Bourbons, carpet
baggers and negroes, virtually leaves the
field to the epo' white trash and crack
ers"-and a very respectable, high-toned
party it would be, tool
Aside from the p~arad0xes and manifest
absurdities in the proposition of the
millionaire protectionists who have this
grand scheme on their hands, there is an
air of plausibility about the project.
These mel mean to do something in the
line indicated. They really mean to throw
the negro and the white. trash" over
board, as the Objectionable element, and
by this means they really hope to placate
the "Bourbons," and to bring about
friendly relations with carpet-baggers
THAT is, themselves.) This course they
think will break up the Democratic party
feeling in the South, spread the glitter
ing snares of Protection, and by its
wiles to seduce the rising Southrons to
vote with the Republican party.
That is what it all means. 1t is not
an idle menace. 1t means a new de-
parture in an effort to %perpetuate the
party with its scheme for
robbing the poor through the villainy Of
high tariff. Harrison may be expected
to lend the project a helping hand, Of
course, and Mat. Quay will be paid to
spread the doctrines through every
State. The success Of the plan,
however, is a matter about which there
is reasonable room for doubt.

He Thinks 1t Is Cruel.

D. NJ. Langley, Bourbon, Ind, in a
recent issue of the Chicago Tribune,
says of dehorning: 'Why in humanity's
name is this criminal cruelty allowed to
be practiced by the money-making
sharks who prey on the ignorance and
credulity of the pub lie? Some Berg
should rise up and bring these offenders
to condign punishment for practicing
such cruel and unnecessary horrors on
the dumb animal. when far better and
easier method of dehorning cattle can
be made by any one without cost, pain
or danger. If the calf is taken when
but a few weeks old and the little
horns just begin to bud and show them
selves, and white-hot iron held over
the little horn germ for an instant, no
horn will ever appear, and there will
be no possible danger of injury to the
little dumb animal. No doubt the de-
horning man will attempt to laugh the
idea to scorn. as it will abolish his
profitable vocation, but none the less is
it fact worth remembering in the
practice of denorning cattle.'

Binding TWine.

The sudden change from the wire
binders to c0rdage on all the harvesting
machines is the cause assigned for the
insufficient supply of twine in the mar
ket the past year or two. The twine is
made of MANILA and Mexican hemp, or
sisal-that is the only raw material that
has been regarded as satisfactory, and
the demand is much greater than the
supply. The fiber must be long, strong
and not much shortened in length by
twisting. The hard twisted cordage is
affected by the moisture to such an ex-
tent that the length changes. The fact
of this deficiency has induced expert
ments with great variety of material
1t is claimed that this want will soon be
met by the use of the fiber of many
kinds of weeds. The GLOBE has seen
samples of this twine which seem to be
a perfect success. Provision is being
made for its manufacture On an extern

In the first Murphy was pre-

In the second Pickett and Ringo scored

the ball over the left-field fence and
Veach, not to be Outdone, knocked it

IOtal. 407
The vote that Gilman receives is very
significant. based as it undoubtedly is
upon the belief that he was
DEFRAUDED
two years ago of the nomination. Should
he and McGill have the same relative
strength in the convention that they
have here, Gilman'S nomination would
be almost a fOregOne conclusion. The
vote for Scheffer is strong one, con-
Sidering that it is from purely Republi-
can sources, where his opponents claim
that he has nothing to expect. A large
proportion of the cards cast for him
come from counties las indicated by the
postmarks} where the alliance is strong.
Merriam's friends are crying the
loudest at the present time that his
nomination is assured. Yet this simple
test of popular opinion does not bear
their assertions out. The GLOBE holds
in its possession 457 postal cards from
respectable citizens located in ali parts
or the state, and on only fifty-three of
them is Millionaire Merriam's name
stricken out as fS. orite. Still. it will
not do to sneeZe at the Willy William,
who has more ways than one of getting
into Office.
The Blaine and Gresham vote, so
evenly divided, seems to indicate that
either would pretty well satisfy the local
Republicans, and that if any one else
is chosen there will be some grumbling.
Altogether, the GLOBE feels that in this
vote it has given a fair forecast of Re
publican sentiment in the state.
