men were employed in the manufacture
OF Indian clubs, base ball bats and
other athletic implements. And so they
passed from door to door out of one lit
tie shop into another, until the day was
consumed inspecting manufacturing
establishments where only three or
four or half dozen persons
at the outside were at work. And yet
it was in these little workshops, where
men are being developed while goods
are being made, that these Southern
congressman learned the secret of New
England thrift and prosperity.
The GLOBE recalls this incident at
this time to impress upon our st. Paul
people the necessity for giving encour-
agement to all schemes whereby our in
dustrics will be diversified and the
small workshops multiplied. In our
scramble to get something big we are
apt to overlook the little industries
which, after all, are of the most value,
if we only get enough of them.

PISTOLS AND KISSES.
Mrs. Buckingham Will Not Ap-
pear Against Her Husband.

Frank Buckingham, the Franklin
house ledger who shot his wife Tues
day evening during a quarrel in the
Mount Severn hotel on Concord street.
Brooklyn, is now in RAYMOND street
jail, says the New York Morning Jour<
nal. He might have been released YES.
terday had the district attorneys Office
been opened, but owing to the fact that
Mr.. Ridgeway could not be found.
Buckingham was arraigned before
Justice Walsh on the charge preferred
by his wife. He pleaded not guilty. He
begged the justice to take bail, but was
informed that the district attorney was
the proper person to do this. James
Shea, of No. 293 Adams street, was pres
ent and ready to go bail for Bucking-
ham, whom he has been acquainted
with for a long time.
Lawyer Weinberg has taken charge
of Buckingham's case. His client told
him yesterday that when he went to the
Concord street hotel to see his wife on
Tuesday evening. she came into the
parlor with revolver i'll her hand and
at once pointed it at him, screaming as
she did so to attract attention from
others. He aid not believe that she in
tended to shoot him. but he seized her
hand, and the weapon, which was a
double-action one, went off just as the
muZZle was pointed at her head.
The prisoner is a wharfinger on the
East river front. He has been so en-
pl0yed for tWenty-six years.
His wife remains in the Homeopathic
hospital. The bullet, which entered
her head beneath the right ear.
only passed through the skin to the
skull and was readily extracted. She
said yesterday that she had no ill-feel-
ing toward her husband. and would not
appear against him.
As stated in yesterdays journal Buck
ingham and his wife have been living
apart for some time. He has been
watching her movements since their
separation and claims to have discoy-
cred that she has been receiving visits
from sewing machine agent. He also
shows a number of sears on his head.
which he says are the relics of wounds
his wife has inflicted at various times.
Caswell Leclair, of No. 4S Myrtle
avenue, who was passing the hotel
while Mrs. Buckingham was scream
ing, says that by the light shining
into the parlor from the gas let in the
hall he saw Buckingham and his wife
engaged in struggle and also saw him
fire the shot after her as she was fleeing.
He will be a witness at the examination.
Before the woman went to the hos
pItal her husband went to her side and
kissed her. As he did so he said, You
don't feel angry at me, do yOu?' She
returned his kiss in hearty way and
replied in the negative.

ARBlTRATE

If the GLOBES voice we're TO be heard
n the pending difficulty between the
Burlington road and its locomotive en-
gineerS. it would be with the advice to
arbitrate-for to that complexion will
it come at last, The more we see of
these strikes the more convinced ale we
of the duty of creating boards OF arbi-
tration, to whom shall be referred for
final arbitrament all disputes that arise
between employers and employees. This
thing of one side attempting to freeze
or Starve the other out has an inhuman
aspect that ought not to be
tolerated. Then again, these strikes
always have three sides. The corpora
tons have one side, the strikers an
other, and the third belongs to the pub
lie. 1t is because the public are the
third party affected by the strike that
the public press derive their right to
discuss them with the utmost freedom.
If i'll such instances as the Burlington
strike the quarrel affected only the rail-
roads and their employees, it would be
meddleSome on the part of the newSpa-
perS to volunteer advice. But when
the result is to blockade trade and
travel, and to paralyze business, then
the whole people are entitled TO Il
voice i'll the matter. 1t is of no
special consequence to the public
which side yields first, further than TO
see that no injustice is done or that no
great wrong is perpetrated. The fact
that the Burlington road doesn't pay its
employees as good wages as some other
roads is its business. The fact that the
locomotive engineers on the Burlington
line want their wages advanced is their
business. The busine SIS of the public is
to prevent the quarrel between the Bur-
lington management and the aSsocia-
ton of locomotive engineers from Grip
ping commerce or retarding the
course of trade. That is why
we insist that it is imperative
to have boards of arbitration author
lied to settle these disputes and to settle
them promptly. AS matters now stand,
after prolonged fight. in which both
sides will be badly worsted and great
injury inflicted upon the country's COM
merce. the contestants will finally agree
to arbitrate their differences. Then
why not compel arbitration in the be-
ginning, and save the loss and suffering
which is bound to enSue from a long
strike?

Resolved, That in the coming election for
congressman we shall support only those
men who are pledged to vote to repeal the
tariff ON coal.
Do these indicate to the unprotected
Northwestern farmer that the protected
laborer is ideally situated? Are the pro-
tected industries placing their enormous
profits at the service of the laborer? Or
is protection benefiting?
Only few days ago the telegraph
sent the following from Scranton, Pa:
Pay-days at the mills of the Lackawauna
Iron n Coal company and the Scranton Steel
company in this city come late in each
month, and the extent of The reduction made
on Jan. in the wages of the men has just
been ascertained. in certain grades it falls
below dollar day, or panic prices, and i'll
the cases of the skilled employees the cut
reaches a dollar day and upwards. There
is much dissatisfaction among the work
men.
One more note, and for the present we
are done. Massachusetts, another pro-
tected state, has recently been sub
jected to an industrial investigation,
the result of which shows that 241 900
laborlng people in that state in 1885 had
no employment for third of the year.
Nearly roper cent out of the unemployed
were connected with manufactures.
The farmer has presented here. in
considering the tariff, his own financial
situation as an unprotected citizen and
the condition of the laborer protected
by a taxation of over 40 per cent on all
dutiable imports.
AS an important factor of the North
west, and with some knowledge at least
of economics rs presented above, he has
already given the denial to the aSser-
ton that he is protectioniSt by send
ing to congress four revenue reform
members.
He will send more of them as his
knowledge increases. He is so powerful
already in this movement toward tax
reduction that he will make it vital
issue in future campaigns.
Sophistries and the wall of the infant
industry cannot blind him to the knowl-
edge that he is the heaviest taxed and
the most poorly remunerated laborer in
the West. In the East he has as COM
panion in sorrow the laborer of every
calling.

INSURING CREDITS.

A new kind of insurance enterprise
has been organized in the East, which
Is meeting with an encouraging recep-
ton, and which may in the near future
be extended to the West. 1t involves
the guaranteeing to the jobber or whole
Saler of any account, no matter in what
section of the country the debtor may
be situated. The premium required to
be paid naturally varies with the credit
of the debtor as estimated by the COM
pany's experts, being larger, of course,
when the credit is doubtful or hazard
Gus, and comparatively little when the
credit is good.
The merchant who avails himself of
the company'S insurance is relieved of
the trouble and annoyance consequent
upon looking after multitude of widely
scattered accounts, and is, moreover,
enabled to dispense with an expensive
credit man. The kind of insur-
ance indicated would seem to be
particularly adapted to business in the
Northwest. Wholesalers in the Twin
Cities have numerous accounts with
men doing business at a distance of
hundreds of miles from the cities. 1t
requires vast deal of trouble and con-
siderable expense to keep themselves
Informed as to the standing of their dis
tant customers. A company insuring
credits would relieve them of a consid-
cradle burden.
On the other hand, however, so rapid
is the growth of the Northwest, and so
prosperous is the entire extent of terri
tory tributary to the Twin Cities, that
all kinds of business are conducted
upon pretty safe footing, and failures
are by no means frequent. Looked at
from this standpoint, it would appear
that there would be but slight neces-
sity for the insurance of credits, except
in so far as such scheme would obviate
the necessity for good deal of annoy
ance.
However, if the Eastern companies
should extend their business to the
Northwest, they would probably secure
very satisfactory clientage, and they
would certainly do business upon a
much safer basis than is possible in the
less prosperous East.

DIVERSITY OUR INDUSTRIES.

eve must have some more large
manufacturing establishments" is the
common remark among citizens when
the further upbuiiding of our city is the
theme of conversation. The necessity
for the establishment of large manu-
featuring plants is favorite topic in
the chamber of commerce; it is talked
about by our business men in their
offices and on the streets, and many of
them are bending their energies in that
direction. The GLOBE does not pro-
pose to say one word that would dis
courage this idea, nor will it hesitate to
lend helping hand wherever or when
ever it can to aid in the accomplish
. ment of this purpose. But what we
do want to impress upon our people is
that the city is to be more benefited
by encouraging a greater number of
small manufactures than by expanding
so much time, energy and capital on
mammoth plants.
A few weeks ago couple of prOmi-
nent members of congress from the
South visited Boston for the purpose of
studying the source of wealth of the
thrift among its people, in order that
they might find some instructive les
sons for their own people. They found
that of the 100000 inhabitants of Mas
saehusetts nearly every other person
man, woman and child-is represented
upon the books Of savings bank,
with an average deposit of 1926, the
sum of all the deposits being 1926, OOO,-
600. After visiting a number of large
manufacturing establishments and max
ing inquiry, they found that the en-
ployes of those mammoth concerns were
not represented in the savings banks at
all. In their perplexity to know among
what classes they could find those who
could make enough from their annual
earnings to lay away this vast amount
of surplus. they went to EDWARD AT
KINSON for information. mo, the mill
operatives do not get wages more than
will barely support them," said Mr..
ATKINSON, ''but come with me and will

chusetts' prosperity, First they went

that they hadn't time to notice
the intrusion of the visitors. Then
they passed OH into the next door, above

man was at the forge heating the
blanks, while another was using little

THE REASON OF 1T.

Considerable uneaSinesS has been felt
in Republican circles, and considerable
disgust expressed because veteran Ed
itor MEDIIL, in the columns of his able
paper, the Chicago Tribune, gives evil
dence of his diSinclination to aid Candi-
date SHERMAN in his presidential fight,
just as he before refused to advocate the
candidacy of the magnetic statesman
now sojourning beneath the balmy Ital-
ian sky.
The truth of the matter is that Editor
MEDiLL could not support the can
vaSS of either and be consistent or true to
his convictions. His paper, published
in Western center, supported entirely
by Western people, naturally is in ac-
cord with and reflects Western senti-
ment. Republican if you will, but still
Western.
Such being the case, it follows as the
most natural corollary in the world that
Editor MEDIIL, to whom it has been
given to see the light, breaches tariff
reform and revenue reduction to his eX-
tenSiye congregation. But this is the
kind of doctrine to which MeSsrs.
BLAINE and SHERMAN are violently
opposed, even though the West is irrev-
ocably committed to it. How, then,
could Editor MEDILL, who has a soul to
save and paper to sell, reasonably be
expected to support the candidacy of
either of the distinguished high tariff
advocates?
1t grieves us to see the state of mind
into which our Republican friends have
worked themselves over the alleged
apostacy of our Chicago contemporary,
but we are inclined to remind them that
the West has habit of independence,
and allegiance to the doctrines of the
monOpolists it considers quite incon-
Sistent with such habit.

Melville W. Fuller, who made the adj
dress to the Democratic national COM
mittee on behalf of Chicago as a candi-
date city for the Democratic convention,
was interviewed On the causes of Chi
cago's defeat. 1--WE were greatly ham,
pered. and practically defeated by the
opposition of Mr.. Kelly, of Minnesota,
and Senator J. E. Mcdonald, of Indi-
ana," he said. ''Nfr. Kelly voted for
San Francisco and Mcdonald for st.
Louis. This brought about state of
affairs we could not successfully meet.
/ made my speech to the committee an
argument for Chicago, of course. L
pointed out all our advantages, land held
that the meeting Of the convention here
would undoubtedly have favorable eff
feet on the vote of the neighboring and
adjoining states. When, after that,
Indiana and Minnesota voted against
us, it put rs in the unpleasant position
of advocating measures which our con-
stituents did not indorse and in which
they would not sustain us.
''After all we were beaten by sort of
compromise. The New England and
Eastern states generally were for us,
except Massachusetts, whose commit
teeman, +. D. Prince, was for st. Louis
first, last, and all the time. Prince had
such good time in st. Louis in &c that
he wants to go there whenever he can
get a chance. Another thing against us
was the fact that we had the last con-
ventioD, and a good many thought there
should be rotation. Then there was

think it was found that this date would
fall on Sunday this year, SO that did not
have much weight. Some wanted to
have the convention held late, so as to
learn the temper Of congress Oh the
tariff question. Among them was Cor
man, of Maryland.
''Others wanted it at any time after
the Republican convention, so as to adj
here to the old custom of the Demo-
cratic convention, being the last to be
held. Men who wanted all early date
favored Chicago. while some who
wanted July decided on st. Louis. The
revolt was the choice of an early date,
and st. Louis as the place of the con-
ventiOn. l am confident that If the
question Of place had been decided first,
and without reference to the time, that
we would have won. As it was, it
looked at one time as though we would
get it anyhow, but in the final combina-
ton we were beaten.
1.-THE Southern states stood very sol
idly for st. Louis, and they carried the
other states with them. San Francisco
got the votes of all the territories. This
was all right with the exception of Da-
kOta, whose vote should have been given
for Chicago. So far as we saw, Or could

erence. The District of Columbia was
for st. Louis, but that was the nearest
thing shown in the way OF Washington
