If the Duke of Norfolk really has an official mission there Is nothing to justify che hope that it will be successful. The pope, 1t says, cannot go beyond advising the Ilis'' bishops to follow policy of prudence and moderation, the Irish question being an eco homie and national one, and not of religious nature. The Opinione extols MT. Gladstone's policy as the most likely to pacify Ireland.

The Strikers Confident That They Will be
 Ultimately Successful.


 READING, Pa, Jan. 20.-There is less pros pect now than at any time for an early settle nlent of the strike. The operators of individ- ual collieries who expected to start up have abandoned all efforts in that direction. The division among the miners is not sufficient to secure enough help to go ahead. The strike .caders exhibit greater confidence than ever, and say that they are bound to win. Several of them who accompanied Chairman Lee to this city remained here until yesterday, and agitated the question among some of the Knights of Labor of holding a public meeting here next week.

Nat GOOdWin's Joke.

A group of men in Delmonico's yes

ing OF the many exhibitions that Nat
Goodwin has given of his Irresistible
tendency to jest at all times and places.

admitted the best Armund OH the
American stage. He was growing a
muStache, which was very short and not
particularly impressive. The ends were
waXed upward. The muStache seemed
to exercise an unusually fascinating eff

gaze at it with speechless intensity for
hours at time. But he never alluded
to it in any way, though O'Neil Ques-
toned him neryouSly. On the night of
the performance Goodwin appeared as
Camille. 1t was agreed that the two
actors should play the scene exactly as
written, and though the audience
laughed at Goodwin first from force of
habit, were impressed by his remarka-
bic emotional powers, and sat spell
bound until the dialogue almost reached
its climax.

as she clasped her hands and emitted
racking and consumptive cough. THAT

NGILL'S DEFEAT.

The defeat of Gov. McGILL for renom
ination is an open confession by the Re-
publicans that the Republican admins
tration in this state for the last two
years has been a lamentable failure.
There can be 10 other theory advanced
in explanation of his defeat. 1t has
never been claimed that he was a man
of extraordinary ability, and yet he is
the equal in that respect OF the
gentleman who was nominated
over him. 1t cannot be charged
against Gov. MCGILL that during
INSTRUMENTATION he did not faithfully
execute the will of his party. On the other
hand, whatever unpopularity attached
to his administration, was largely due
to his partisan zeal in carrying into
effect the very measures that his party
outlined. Under these circumstances 1t
was as ungraceful as. it was ungratetul
to make a scapegoat of the governor,
and to endeavor TO saddle upon his
shoulders the sins of the Republican

soULLEss CORPORATIONS.
They Are Preying Upon the Miners
of Nevada.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 6.-The
acting secretary of the interior to-day
sent to congress all the papers except
such as should be withheld for pur-
poses of Justice that are called for by
the resolution offered by Senator Stew
art asking upon what authority and in
formation the commissioner of the gem
eral land office based his assertion that
an amendment introduced by the sena-
tor was really in the interest of mining
corporations and against the interests OF
the settler. In one of these communica-
tons the commissioner says that no
suits have been recommended i'll
Nevada, except against two powerful
and wealthy corporations, and that
these have been based not upon in
formers testimony, but the reports of
especial agents of the department. He
characterized as groundless the COM
plant that the special agents act as
spies upon the people of Nevada, and
says that no special agents were in
Nevada for several years until they
were sent there to investigate the facts
in the cases of offers of compromise
which were received from mining COM
panieS for unlawful cutting OF timber
and which were Endorsed by Senator
Stewart. He reiterateS his statement
that the proposed amendment would be
unjust to the settler, and quotes from
report made by a special agent of the
department to show that it is the big
smelling works and men who burn
charcoal for living who are engaged in
this wholesale timber cutting and that

Canada's High Commissioner
Talks Politics at the Cut
lep'S Feast.
He Praises Chamberlain and
Refers to the Fishery
Dispute.
Cold-Blooded Clanricarde
Levels the Houses OF His
Evicted Tenants.
Afghans Dig Up the Ratchet,
and Proclaim a New
Ameep.

LONDON, Sept. 6.-Sir Charles Tup-
per, baronet, high commissioner of Can
ada, in speech at the cutters feast at
Sheffield tonight, referred in high terms
to the conduct of Joseph Chamberlain
in connection with the fisheries treaty.
He said that no one more acceptable to
Americans than Chamberlain could
have been found. With regard to the
somewhat extraordinary message Of
President Cleveland, he would say that
Canada would never adopt policy,
physical or otherwise, that would be
detrimental to England. Canada would
deal with the fisheries question as its
great importance deserved.
Lord BereSford also spoke, dwelling
mainly on the subject of the navy. He
said the recent manOuverS proved that
the fleet was insufficient. There was
no reserve for the channel in the event
of a blockade; the coaling arrangements
were inadequate and the training OF the
men and officers was unSuited to mod
ern requirements. Furthermore, there
was no settled plan of action in the
event of war, and that meant that an
enemy might get the start with disaS-
trouS effects to England.

MERRIAM NOMINATED.

While the nomination of Mr.. MEB-
RAM was wholly illogical result IL
was not matter of surprise to those
who were familiar with the methods
that were being employed to bring IL
about. Prominent Republicans. VINO
know more of the internal operations or
the Republican machiR that the GLOBE
processes to know, say that the nominal
ton was secured by lavish eXpendi-
ture of money. and the most corrupt
practices that ever prevailed in the
politics of this state. Without having
made an Investigation of the matter,
and without vOuching for the accuracy
of all stat ments that have been made,
the GLOBE is content for the present TO
let the public Judge of their truthful
ness by what is learned from good Re
publican authority. Of one thing we
are assured, however, that the power OF
the machine and the lash of the whip
were used by the bosses with merciless
force, in accomplishing the results OF
yesterday.
Of Mr.. MERRIAM personally we nave
little to say, because there is little to be
said. His opportunities for a display OF
statesmanlike qualities have been so
limited it would hardly be fair to even
estimate his capacity for performing
public service. During his brief career
as state legislator he did nothing by
which to gauge his ability, nor has he
done anything since. He is a young
man of good social standing and fair
business capacity. Having been born
with a silver spoon in his mouth, it
is possibly to his credit that he did not,
as so many SONS of rich parents have
done. spend his portion in riOtOus liV-
ing; but on the contrary, settled down
TO earnest and active business life, and
has succeeded by thrift and judicious
speculation in adding materially to his
fortune. Ii Mr.. MERRIAM'S experience
at the head of a successful banking in
stituti0n, is any criterion by which to
Judge his capacity for an executive adj
ministratiOn of state affairs, the Repub-
licanS may have gone farther and have
Jared worse in the selection of a candi-
date. And yet, the accidents or oppor-
tunities which bring riches to a man are
hardly to be considered suitable meas
urements when determining the quail
fications of person to fill the exalted
station of chief magistrate of great
state like Minnesota.

aT,RERT SCHEFFER.

With all the vicissitudes that beset his
gubernatorial canvass, and with all the
scenes and incidents connected with his
brief but tempestuous political career,
and notwithstanding its disastrous
termination, ALBERT SCHEFFEB has
come out of the contest with an unspot-
ted personal record, and still retains the
universal respect of his fellow citizens.
He consistently held aloof from all en-
tangling alliances, and utterly re-
fused to become a party to any sort
of trade or dicker whereby
his chances for the nomination might
have been promoted. He is as clean
handed and pure hearted to-day as he
was the day he entered the canvass. De
feat can have no sting for a man who is
conscious of the rectitude of his pur-
poses, and who comes out of the fight
without tarnish upon his escutcheOn.

THE PLATFORM.

The Republican state platform is a
double header. On tariff matters it is
an Endorsement of both the Chicago and
St. Louis platforms, in one breath de-
claring devotion to the American pro-
tective system as it is understood and
interpreted by the national Republican
party, and in the next, advocating re-
vision of the tariff and reduction of the
surplus as outlined by President
CLEVELAND in his last annual message,
and in almost the identical language
emploved by the st. Louis platform.
Like the old negro's coon trap, it is set
''to catch 'em both a comm and a
gOin'."
1t is a matter OF surprise that men like
GORDON E. COLE and others who were
on the committee on resolutions, gentle
men of unusual intelligence and of more
than ordinary independence, should
have stultiied themselves by subscrib-
ing to such a mOngral declaration on
the foremost issue involved in the na-
tional canvass. The state platform is
not only the most cOwardly sort of a
Slfauuic Oh q puOo'tOAi Oil6"SiiS lhC at
tention of all thoughtful men, but on the
face of it bears the evidences of dis
honesty. 1t is equivalentto saying that
the Republicans of Minnesota are afraid
TO take their own tariff medicine. and
vet they have not the manly honesty to
confess that the Democrats prescribe
the only remedy that will relieve the
overtaxed farmers and workingmen of
the state.
In IFS other principal features, partic-
ularly as relates to the Australian sys-
TEN of voting, the platform is q feeble
imitation of the one adopted ly the
Democrats in their late state convention.
