Special TO the Globe
FARGO. OAK. Nov. 15.-GOv. Church,
interviewed tonight on Ceveland's de-
feat in New York, says: 1.-THE vote of
New York. think, may be explained
on two grounds. In the first place,
many of the Democratic politicians
were lukewarm. They felt that they
had not received proper recognition
from the president, and went into the
campaign without enthusiasm. In this
connection, however, L wish to say that
the criticisms that have been made
upon Gov. Hill. on account of his sup
posed treacherY, are unjust and with
out foundation. have every reason to
believe he was perfectly true to Presi-
dent Cleveland throughout. and did
everything he could do consistently to
insure his election. Another cause
that operated against him was the tariff
agitatlon, which enlisted on the side of
inc Republicans large majority, if not
an OF the millionaire manufacturers
or the country. They, of course, were
vitality interested in defeating so pro-
nounced an advocate of tariff reform as
MIR. Cleveland is known to be. and in
order to accoPplish it they poured
money iayiShly into New York state.
They res0rted to the same means to de-
feat Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, and tried
it on Frank Hurd, of Ohio. Roger @.
Mills, of Texas, and several other tariff
reformerS among Democratic congress
men. This, | think, more than any
other cause enabled the Republicans to
carry the state. Tariff agitation alone
without the money that was sent there
would not have resulted in that way.
One of the most peculiar effects of that
agitation was the relative means of two
parties i'll manufacturing centers and
agricultural sections of the state.
The vote in manufacturing cen
tiers, where it would naturally
be supposed Democrats would make
smallest gains, shows without exception
very large Democratic gains, while in
the agricultural regions, where you
would expect to find large gains. it was
Just the reverse" Gov. Church said
that he had no donbt that Dakota would
now be admitted as two states; that the
new Republican administration could
not consistently oppose it, even if it
were so inclined. LAS to who my sue

may be selected for the position, he
may feel at perfect liberty to draw on
me whenever he chooses for any expert
ence or information relating to the
affairs of the Office that he may desire.

and shall take pleasure in rendering
him any Legitimate service in my power,
all of which would be in striking con-
trast with the treatment L received from

PROGRESS AZ HOME.

The construction Of two new lines OF
railroad in this state-the one operating
from Winona southwest, the other from
Red Wing, with ultimate Duluth con-
nections- are but pointed indications OF
the undercurrent of growth that per
vadeS the entire state, despite elections,
campaign ofatory and the near advent OF
the legislature. Southeastern Minnesota
is awake and the advantages that new
outlets and inlets can afford her are APP
preciated. She has corn and pork,
winter wheat, potatoes, and a series OF
well developed manufactures, upon
which some other part OF the world is
depending. Reasonable freight rates
and quick transit are the two beside
rata particularly needed for their ship
menr. The reciprocal action will come
i'll the influx of money, new people and
capital and greater production. The
field of sloth will be abandoned for
one of activity, and new energy
breed new blood and spirit. There are
few spots in the world as beautiful in
varied scenery rare combinations OF
wood and water. hills and towering
bluffs. plain and rich valleys-as South
eastern Minnesota, and few as yareidly
befriended by nature in those supplies
that go to produce material wealth.
Her people having sustained the trials
Of carrier years are prepared for an
earnest contest with new conditions.
Their first wise and energetic move has
been the construction of new railroads.
These completed, in their train must
come better and brighter prosperity
than ever before.

PNEUMONIA,

Some recent statistics show that pneu-
monia is increasing in prevalence and
fatality in this country. The Medical
Record states that the percentage of the
malady has a good deal more than
doubled since the third decade Of the
century. In the Pennsylvania hospital
the death rate from pneumonia had in
creased from 1915 to 1865, more than
three-fOld, and to 1856 in excess of five
times. or from to 81 per cent. 1t is as
signed as the occasion of 25 per cent of
the deaths in all the large general hos
pitfalls OF the country. The impression
that it is peculiarly the disease of the
extreme north is not warranted by the
figures of standard authorities. No part
of the country is exempt, although tits
more prevalent in the regions where the
changes in the weather are rapid or
severe. 1t is a peril that needs to be
sedulously guarded against in this eli

The broad face and ample figure of ex-
Secretary WILLIAM WINDOW. OF Minnesota,

La CROSSE, Nov. 1--we have heard
a good deal about ''hungry Democrats"

ing the supply cut off three years or so.
BY Thursday morning last it was pretty
well settled that Republican victory
had been won; Friday made this GER
tainty, and before night of that day at
least three petitions were in circulation
by candidates for postmaster, while for
every other government Office some APP
plicant was quietly fixing his friends.
The business became so notorious and
ridiculous by MONDAY that the Repub-
lican daily paper editorially advised
people not to '.fritter away their influ-
ence" by signing petitions. Republic
cans here admit that their party, be-
tween its unlimited promises on the one
hand and scrambling hOrdeS of office
seekers on the other, has the biggest
deSk-Ioad of trouble to start with that a
political party ever had to carry in
America. The veteran soldiers say they
will be satisfied with nothing less than
service pension law which shall in
clude every man who served in the
army ninety days or more, and if such
a law is not passed as speedily as posi-
bic by the next congress, the Republic
can party will have to answer for it.

found profitable investment in the
South will not be disturbed, but rather
encouraged. The positive style of the

HAyLaTatG NEW HING!

Just before the late campaign all
Eastern Republican and congressman
said to a Democratic congressman from
Minnesota. for whom he entertained
high respect:
hope that you will come back. But we
have S20,0n0,O00 FOR our campaign, and no
congressman who represents what you do
will be permitted to return, if money can pre-
vent it.
The week before election the certified
check for $4,000, of the head of one of
tie largest manufacturing establish
ments in the state, passed through GER
tain bank en- route to aid in the election
of high tariff congressman from Min
neSota.
These facts are not cited for the pur
pose of raising post-election wall over
what is done. To the victors belong all
the credit of such victory, and there is
not a loyal Democrat who would rob
them of it, The blow, bad as it was. by
no means injured the Democracy as it
has the common people. They, ire

us lay aside all hypocritical pretensions
and assertions that principles have tri-
umphed; tear off the mask of pre-
tended patriotism in politics; lift the
cover from the stacks Of glittering coin,

words as to this. 1t is known to all
men who have cared to be acquainted
with it, and the sham Of ignorance is
too easily pierced to be maintained.
There was time when fitness for

tion?" Brush ali of that humbuggery

AS THE Republican papers are a
little slow of speech it may be remarked
here that credit is due the Democrats
for the placidity and good temper they
have displayed. They have lost, for the
time, chances for Office, and good deal
of financial evidence of their good faith
i'll believing the American people
would vote right. More Notifying
than all is the fact that their judgment
has been invalidated--and still they
smiled and tried to look resigned.

MAKE 4 REC ORD.

The Democratic minority in the forth
coming legislature will be in no condi-
ton, numerically or otherwise, to die
tate the course of legislation or the Sc
lection of officers for any public posi-
ton. Yet it will have in that
body mission of so high a pur-
pose that fulfilled, must rebound to
the endless credit of the Democratic
party. NiinortieS, too often in public
bodies because they are minorities)
drift with the tide of extravaganza and
corruption surrounding them. This
has been the case in Minnesota more
than once, with the result of placing
the Democratic party in false and in
consistent positions. BY the last
every Democrat in next winters
legislature is honorabIy bound to
use his vote and voice against
an increase of taxation; multiplication
of Offices; schemes for public plumber
and the election to high Office OF men
nnfriendly to the cause of tariff reduc-
ton. The spccious plea of any Demo
cratic legislator that his protests will
not prevent these evils from occurring
cannot be of avail The record will be
there. 1t will show Enthusiastically that
the members of the Democratic party OF
Minnesota sitting III the state legislature
voted for the principles of that party.
The hunliliating assertion cannot then
be made by Republicans that if they
did so and so, the Democrats were no
better. The Republicans have control
OF all branches of the state and national
government. Democracy'S only hope
for future success lies (as minorlty)in a
triumphant reiteration of the prlnci
pies upon which it WAS defeated, and a
persistent refusal to truckle Or combine
with the enemy.

For heavens sake. let us never hear

Every election we are promised that
the farmers of the Northwest are going
to come right into camp, and bring sew
eral states along with them.
This year it was all fixed! We were
to get them, sure. A fence couldn't
keep them out. We were to be
scrouched up to make room for them.
Michigan especially, was just honing
to get in.
Well, they didn't come! We have
lost seventeen congressman out there,
which hardly leaves us enough for seed.
The Republican majorities are increased
everywhere. AS for Michigan, she
lifted herself up from her slim Republi-
can majority of 1852 in 1854 to over
"a 900 in 1888. From the New Jersey
line to the Pacific ocean the West is
solidly Republiean-and is going to stay
that way. Our hope is. and has been,
