THE sCHEFFER BOOM.

For a candidate whose policy is to let
the Office seek the man, Mr.. ScHEFFER
is remarkably active. If yesterday was
one of his resting days, he will surely
startle his competitors in the guberna-
torial race when he takes his saw i'll
hand and goes out to the wood pile for
a full days work.
Surprising that the presidency of the
State Agricultural association would
solidify him with the granger element
Mr.. MERRIAM seems to have been con-
tent to let the farmer vote drift without
guidance. So it must have been mar
velous surprise to him yesterday when
Mr.. SCIEFFER walked off with the in
dorsement of the Farmers alliance in
his pocket.
When Wednesdays sun went down
the SCHEFFER boom seemed to be in a
badly Withered condition. Out OF ten
members of the Farmers alliance exc
cutive committee Mr.. SCHEFFER's able
lieutenant Gen. BARRETT, had only been
able to muster three votes for his chief.
When the sun rose yesterday morning
Mr.. SCHEFFER had everything his own
way. For clearing up political mud
die there is nothing like good nights
rest.
In congratulating Mr.. SCHEFFER
upon his good generalship, we must
express our qualification to observe his
Willingness to start on sound Demo-
cratic platform. 1t shows the effect OF
early education and the advantage OF
being educated in correct principles.
AS the twig is bent so the tree is in
clined.
Now, a word with you, Mr.. SCHEFFER.
If the platform adopted by the alliance
yesterday is an expression of your
opinions, what are you monkeying with
a Republican nomination for? You are
in the wrong boat. You can't catch
fish on that side of the channel with
that kind of bait. To run as Repubi-
can candidate On platform advocating
low tariff and opposition to monopolieS,
would be putting Few wine into old
bottles. The bottles will burst as sure
as shot.
But after all Messrs. MCGILL and
MERRIAM are probably not losing much
sleep over Mr.. SCHEFFER's brilliant
coup d'etat. Reading the future by the
light of past events it is reasonably GER
tain that the voice OF the farmer is not
going to be particularly potential in the
Republican state convention. In the
future, as in the past, he will be there
to enter a feeble protest against the
crushing process he will be subjected to.
But when it comes to rounding up the
delegates, and counting up the ballots,
it is generally observed that the wheat
ring and the railroads, and the high
license people have pooled their issues
in getting control of the Republican
machine.
While SCHEFFER is whooping up the
farmers, MCGILL and MERRIAM are
working to make themselves solid with
the bosses.
If Mr.. ScHEFFER has any doubt on
this point let him ask KNUTE NELSON
and CHARLIE GILMAN to relate their
experience in the last Republican state
convention. History is continually re-
peating itself.

A FARCICAL IDEA.

Certain Kansas Republicans, infatu-
ated with Senator INGALLS, vitriolic
eloQuence, have conceived the farcical
idea that INGALLS, would make an ex-
celIent presidential candidate. So he
would-for some reasons.
If the Republican convention could be
induced to enter the state of idi0cy long
enough to nominate INGALLS,, his candi-
dacy would be greeted with the greatest
pleasure by the American people, if for no
other reason than that it would give them
an opportunity to exhibit in an effectual
manner their supreme contempt for a
man who, in the senate of his country,
does not hesitate to violate every prin-
ciple of common sense. decency and
patriotism. 1t would give them an OPP
portunity to show him that in insulting
dead heroes he has inSulted the entire
country, and right gladly would they
avail themselves of it.
They would sink him into deserved
obscurity, from which it would be i'm
possible for him to emerge, and they
would take the greatest pleasure in life
in doing it.

The Railway Mail Service.
% the Editor of the Globe

l.
Referring to the article in your paper
of March 26, ssThe Reasons Why" 1
would say the writer does not get very
near to the truth, even for Democrat.
He says eight-tenths Of the clerks in the
railway mail service are Republicans,
and that cases are known where they
have deliberately conspired against the
efficiency of the service. Now, there
are in this district of the railway mail
service over $50 clerks, only about thirty
of whom are old ones. More than 12O
are new, appointed during the present
administration. Are the latter Repub-
licans? We suppose not. Then the
Minneapolis Democrat must prevari-
cate, and he is so far from the truth in
this instance it is fair to presume his
entire statement is false. His assertion
that the old clerks have deliberatele
conspired against the efficiency of thy
service is maliciously false, and they
defy him to point out a single instance
in proof of what he says.
AN OLD CLERK.

WINoNA, Mimi, March 29.-The DEM
ocrats held their city convention at the
court house tonight. The court room
was packed, indicating the lively inter-
est that has sprung up in the past few
days in politics. George ID. Flynn was
unanimously elected chairman, and
Theodore Reuss secretary. An informal
ballot for mayor gave John Ludwig 16,
M. Toye Is. A formal ballot followed
giving Ludwig II and Toye II. The
nomination of Mr.. Ludwig was there
upon made unanimous. A formal ballot
for assessor gave ShaneSy Is, Sikerski
II, Rebstock 4. A second formal ballot
gave Shanesy 10, Sikorski II. The NOM
nation of Shanesy was made unani-
nous. and formal ballot for treasurer
followed. E. s. Mead had 5, Louis ST.
kOrSN %, scattering l. SikOrski was
made the nominee of the convention.
The chairman was empowered to APP
point a city committee at his leisure.
John Ludwig, the nominee for mayor,
has twice been mayor of Winona, and
in all probability is the strongest candi-
cate that could have been nominated.
The ticket is considered very strong
one throughout and there is no doubt of
its being elected.

Murder and Suicide.

CHICAGO, March 29.-August Krakow
shot and instantly killed his wife at 642
Milwaukee avenue about o'clock this
afte rnoon. He then fatally shot him
self, dying about Z o'clock. The police
found Mrs. Krakow sitting in rocking
chair with two bullet holes in her head.
She appeared to have died instantly.
On the lounge in the rear room lay the
husband, who was also dead. The most
shocking stories are prevalent in the
vicinity where the KrakOws live, as the
death of all the members of the family.
There were twelve in all, it is said, not
one of whom survives. Mr.. Krakow,
who was sixty-two years of age,
believed, it is said, that his wife poi
soned all the children and attempted to
poison him, and that this was one of the
causes why he left her.

Republican Split.

Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Dak., March 29.-The political
campaign opened in Fargo tonight with
full band and blue lights in abund-
ance. When the convention assembled
in the court house the atmosphere looked
hazy and smelled smell of Repub-
Hcan sulphur, all becoming the large
and respectable assembly of delegates
from the six city wards. Several dis
tlnguished gentlemen declined to act as
secretary before one could be secured.
The business of the meeting hadn't
gone far before kick was
raised on credentials. Finally
Gen. FL. Capehart was nominated
for mayor, A. L. Shotwell for treasurer
and for police justice, w. III. Barnett.
Then the seooped members of the G. o.
z. proceeded to put up ticket without
regard to the constitution or bylaws
governing such bodies. S. Newman
was nominated for mayor, A. l.. Shot
well for treasurer and |. II. Wilson for
justice. Here begins the Republican
split that elects Democratic mayor
and perhaps full city ticket, and the
Democrats feel full of confidence to-
night and will soon have ticket in the
field that all expect to see elected.

CHILD LABOR.

A wealthy boot and shoe manufact-
urer is being prosecuted in a Chicago
court for employing children under
fifteen years of age in his factory in vio
lation of section of the municipal code.
The trade and labor assemblies are con-
Quoting the prosecution, and Judging
from the evidence that has been adduced
and the picture of the defendant pub
lished in the Chicago papers, he merits
all the punishment that he will get.
Still there is good deal of useless SEN
timentaIity about this thing of prevent
ing children from working in factories.
1t is true that there should be strict
regulations to prevent the possibility of
the little fellows being oyerworked,
but there is no necessity for encourag-
ing children in idleness. There is too
much of that disposition already. 'All
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy'' is an axiom as old as the hills.
But few hours work each day in some
healthy employment never hurt Jack
a particle. In fact, it made better boy
of him, and, when he grew up to man.
hood he was better and more useful
man for having been taught in child
hood how to work, and how to earn
something for his own support.
If there is any work in factory that
a child can do as we'll as man, there is
no reason why child labor should not be
employed, provided there are proper re-
Strictions to prevent the little ones
physical powers from being oyertaxed.
1t will not do to trust to employers al
ways to exercise their judgment with
respect to the amount of labor to be
performed by children. The law should
fix the number of hours that minors are
to be employed, and define the charac-
ter of work they shall be expected to
perform. The operations of such law
would not interfere with the business of
the humane employer, and it would be
needed for the government of the in
human one.

ASHLAND, Wis. March 29.-There is
big excitement at Wakefield, just across
the state line. over the recent rich diScOv-
cries of silver and gold on the claims of
st. Paul and Minneapolis people, known
as the WaShburn and South Washburn
shafts. There are number of other
mines being operated near by, among
the best the Dunlap, the Detective, the
North Washburn, the Silver King and
Newton. Operations on all the proper
ties nave been conducted very quietly
for some time past by Capt. ID. L. Stro-
beck, formerly of Minneapolis. with a
force of about twenty skilled miners,
and, although the outcrOppings at the
start indicated that there was rich de-
post of ore in the range of hills, there
was but slight enthusiasm among pros
pectOrS, except Capt. StrObeck and A.
ID. Westby, also of Minneapolis, who
were the lOcatOrs. The WaShburn mine
proper, where the recent
VERY RICH FINDS
were made, has now reached depth OF
forty-eight feet in solid rock of exactly
the same character as that found in the
Black Hills, and is vein fifteen feet
wide with the outcrOppings stripped for
400 feet across the bluff. The character
of the rock, speaking professionally,
consists of white gray schist and green
stone, carrying silver and gold. The
South WaShburn is believed to be a
bonanza. WOrkmen are now engaged
i'll making cross cut to tap Il galena
formation east and west, which carries
from 50 to S23 in silver on the surface.
1t will require about sixty feet of blast
through solid wall to tap the vein.
Assays already made have reached aS
high as $500 in silver to the ton. One
each made by the University of Mime
sofa, the state chemist at st. Paul, and
an aSSayer of Hurley show as high as
four and a half ounces gold and twelve
ounces silver to the ton. Capt. StrObeck
took from stock pile of $50 tons 5000
pounds of the rock and had
it treated at the Newport, KY,
smelter and received over S43 in
silver and $50, and some odd cents in
gold.

are J. T. Mann, st: Paul; G. s. North
