THE WHEAT TARIFF

a correspondent, who inquiries what

wants to know if the duty ought not to
be retained in order to keep up the
price here. Under the existing tariff
laws the duty on wheat is 20 cents
per bushel and 20 per cent on wheat
flour. SO far from being a protection
to American wheat growers. the wheat
tariff is delusion and snare to trap
our farmers into support of the in
iqUitous protective tariff system. This
is not wheat-importing country. We
raise more than we consume; con-
sequently, so far as the wheat
trade is concerned, ours is an
export business. The price here is
regulated entirely by the English mar
ket, without any reference to our tariff

to the Liverpool market it comes in

OUARRELING OVER DOODLE.
Pat Ford and His Contingent Are
Having a Scrap.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Aug. 15.-There is big
row between Pat Ford and his associ-
ates. The quarrel is all over the di-
vision of the Doodle which they expect
to get from the Republican national
committee. 1t is stated that Senator
Matt Quay has agreed to enlist them in
his ranks, but the compensation has. not
yet been definitely fixed. They, how
ever, expect a big Doodle from the
money bags of Mr.. Morton, and have be-
gun a bitter internecine war over the
division of the expected cash. There is
a grand kick against WOuld-be-general-
issimO Patrick Ford. Judge Morrison,
of Brooklyn, considers FOrd's pre-
tensions ridiculous. He points
to the fact that the Irish
World under Ford's management
ran down from circulation of $4,000
copies to about 10000. and that this re-
suit was accomplished in about year.
He says now that, under the circum-
stances, it would be ridiculous for Ford
to put himself out as the boss of the
Irish Republican contingent. John
Dewey, one of the aDlest Irish journal
lists in this city, is even more disguised
than Judge Morrison. In spite of state
ments to the contrary, he does not
speak to Ford, and says that he will not
recognize him under any circumstances.
This was the situation here yesterday
with the Irish-Republican-H eSsian con-
tingent. 1t was interrupted when the
statement was circulated to the effect
that Matt Quay had recognized Ford
by giving him $4,000 in cash.

THE PLATFORM.

The platform adopted yesterday is
thoroughly in accord with the doctrines
of the national Democratic platform.
In addition it presents a mastery ar
raignment of the successive Republican
administrations in this state, and points
out how they have used the machinery
of the state government to favor the
corporations as opposed to the people.
The notorious House File 157 is cited as
an instance of Republican methods for
robbing the public treasury-a bill that
was ostensibly to protect settlers, but in
reality to exempt a rich corporation
from the payment of taxes that were
honestly due to the state. Nor is this
an isolated case. Before the campaign
is over the people of the state will be
informed fully of good many things
limited at in the platform adopted yes
terday.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.

. Whatever differences of opinion may
exist about other matters, yesterdays
convention did one thing of which no
Democrat need be ashamed. That was
the nomination it made of candidate
for governor. There is no man within
the ranks of the Democratic party pos
SesSing higher order of ability than
EUGENE NJ. WILSON. And it is certain
that there is no public man within the
broad limits of the state of Minnesota
who has a cleaner record as public
servant, nor one whose private life is
freer from stain. For the more than a
quarter of a century that Mr.. WILSON
has lived among the people of this state
no man can point to single act of his
career. either in his professional, politi-
cal or domestic life, that would bring
the blush of shame to tie cheek of an
honest man. If there ever was an in
dividual to whom the term ''sans peur,
sans reproche," had a fitting applica-
ton, that person is EUGENE NJ. VIII
son.
There is another traiti in Mr.. WILSON'S
character which merits attention in con-
nectiOn with his candidacy for the
highest Office within the gift of the peo-
pie of his state. 1t is his thorough in
dependence and absolute freedom from
the domination of others. Conscious of
the strength of his own manhood, he is
too upright to surrender it at the dicta-
ton Of others. If he is elected governor
of Minnesota, he will be governor, and
not puppet in the hands of ringmas-
tiers to be worked as their interests re-
quire. He will acknowledge the au-
thority of no boss, nor will he be, as has
been too often the case in the guberna-
torial office of this state, merely an
agent for the corporations.
1t is thus, under the happy auspices
of having standard bearer who COM
mands the confidence of his following,
as well as the respect Of the opposition,

into their state campaign. The issues
have been defined long ago, and all that
remains is to have a clear and forcible
presentation of them made to the peo-
pie in order that the voters may fully
understand on which side their inter-
ests are Staked. That this will be done,
and well done, by Mr.. WILSON, is not
doubted by any who are familiar with
his wonderfully able and lucid style of
presenting case. Not the least among
his many accomplishments is his
gift of oratory. His faculty for analyz-
ing subject, coupled with his mellif1u-
Gus flow of eloquence, makes him one
of the most pleasing, as well as one of
the most instructive stump speakers in
the Northwest.
With the names of CLEVELAND.
THURMAN and WILSON inscribed upon
their banners, and upon platform en-
bodying the sOundeSt economic prin-
ciples, the Democrats of Minnesota are
splendidly equipped to go forth con-
quering and to conquer. If victory does
not come to them, it will not be for the
reason that their cause or their candi-
dates are unworthy of success.

The Value of Longevity.

DR.. Felix L. Oswald in the August Forum,
Can there be doubt that Burns and
Keats foresaw the issue of their strug-
gle against bigotry, or that Cervantes,
in the gloom of his misery, could read
the signs of the dawn preSaging a sun
burst of posthumous fame? Spinoza
and Schiller died at the \threShOld
of their goal; Pascal. Harvey,
Macaulay. Buckle and Bichat left
their inimitable works half fin
ished; Raphael, Mozart and Byron
died at the verge of a summit which
perhaps no other foot shall ever ap-
proach. Who knows how often, since
the dawn of modern science, the chill of
death has palsied hand that had all
but lifted the veil of the Isis temple?
Or in how many thousand lives time
alone would have solved all discords
into harmOnieS? An increase of
longevity could, indeed, solve
the most veXing riddles of exist
ence: it would furnish the secular
Endorsement of Mr.. Mallock's conclu-
sion. 1t would give the vicissitudes of
fortune a chance to assert their equal
iZing tendencies; 1t would supply
missing link in the arguments of that
natural religion that trusts the equipoise
of justice in the apparent caprices of
human fate. The price of longevity
would redeem the mortgage of our
earthly paradise.

Did Washington Eat With a Knife?

A writer in the Cleveland Leader has
recently discussed the extraordinary
manner in which Washington was
abused while holding public office. He
closes his remarks with the following
paragraph, seemingly oblivious of the
fact that there were no white house"
dinners to gossip about in Washington's
time:
Speaking of Washington, see that
some of the goody-g0od newspapers of
the country are very indignant at the
statement in QuackenboS' history that
Washington at one time ate peas with a
knife. l do not doubt but that the state
ment is true. The whole literary United
States at the time of Washington, how
ever. seemed to be mutual adj
miration society, and there is little I'M
favorable gossip about the White house
dinners. l found the other day, how
ever. Maclay's diary, giving his expert
enceS during his term as a senator of
the United States when Washington
was first president. Maclay dined with
Washington a number of times, and
scattered through his diary are
little bits of gossip about these
dinners. At two of them he de-
scribes Washington as amusing
himself during all the dinner by play
ing the DEVILS tattoo upon the table
with his fork. He says, speaking of one
of these dinners: 1.-The president kept
a fork in his hand when the cloth was
taken away, l thought for the purpose
of picking nuts. He ate no nuts, but
played with the fork, striking on the
edge of the table with it,"

means, for when he comes back he will
have something to talk about. Fish stories
are harmless in comparison with those
