1 am going to tell you of the extraordinary
me. About the first of April last | noticed
some red pimples like coming out ali over my
body, but thought nothing of II until some
time later on, when it began to look like spots
of mortar spotted on, and which came of i'm
layers, accompanied with itching. / would
scratch every night until / was raw, then the
next night, the scales being formed mean
while, were scratched on again. In vain did
l consult all the doctors in the country, but
without aid. After giving up all hopes of re-
covery, | happened to see an advertisement i'm
the newspaper about your Cuticura Remedies,
and purchased them from my druggist, and
obtained almost immediate relief. fbegan to
notice that the scaly eruptions gradually
dropped off and disappeared one by one, and
have been FULLY cured. | had the disease thir-
teen months before | began taking the Cuti-
cuIa Remedies, and in four or five weeks was
entirely cured. My disease was eczema and
psoriasis. l the Cuticura Rem
edies to all of my vicinity, and know of II
great many who have taken them, and thank
me for the knowledge of them, especially
mothers who have babes with scaly eruptions
on their heads and bodies. l cannot express
In words the thanks to you for what the Cuti-
cura Remedies have been tot me-. My body
was covered with scales, and | was an awful
spectacle to behold. Now my skin is as clear
and nice as IA baby's.

If she treats them properly, and hos
pitable treatment is q California char
acteristic, she will have every one of
the 10000 working in her behalf as
earnestly as any paid immigration
agent, and the young ideas trusted to
their care will be instructed to shoot in
the direction of the Pacific coast.
Then there is another cOnsidera-
ton. AT least half of the 10000
will be women, and a large pro-
portion will be young and pretty
women. just fancy the banquet of
feminine loneliness upon which the
lucky Californian will be privileged to
feast his eyes! And think of the field
for the exercise of his natural gallantry.
We dare say that all the roses of whose
profusiOn California boasts will prove
insufficient to enable proper floral
tribute to be paid the fair visitors.
1t will be great opportunity for Cali
fOrnia and the unmarried CalifOrnlanS,
one that might well be envied them. So
after all it appears that San Francisco
has reason enough for not feeling down
cast at her failure to capture the con-
Vention.

CLEVELAND CONGRATULATED

President CLEVELAND is once more
TO be congratulated upon the enemies
he has made. The infamous attempt of
the protection baronS, under the leader
ship of GoRMAN, to knife the president
in the house of his friends will only
bring Mr.. CLEVELAND is closer endear-
ment to the popular heart. The GLOBE
publishes this morning a cartoon which
1t believes to represent the true
state of affairs which existed in the COM
mittee wrangle at Washington. 1t is not
apleaSant task for the GLOBE to hold up
to public ridicule men who hold
high positions in Democratic cOun-
ellis, and who have been honored with
their party'S confidence. But when
men like Senator GORMAN and those
who backed him in the fight against the
administration are known to be the
active agents of the corporations, who
wear the collar of the coal and oil
barons, it is time that the public eye
should rest on them. The Democratic
party is going into the national can
VaSS as the advocate of tariff re-
form and the foe of monopoly in
whatever form it exists. 1t is
going to make an aggressive cam
paign Oh live issue, and mutineerS and
traitors are not wanted il the ranks. Ii
we are going to wage war against the
monopOlistic barons, we want no barOns
for leaders on our side. Whatever
Democracy may have meant in the past,
this year it means tariff Reform with
big r. 1t means Death TO mOnODOly
with big ID. If there are any sO-called
Democrats who are not heart and soul
with the party on these issues, they are
respectfully requested to stand aside
until the fight is over. This is no time
for a temporizing policy. The fighting
on the tariff reform issue is going to be
forced. GROVER CLEVELAND is to be
our captain. There is going to be
charge along the whole line, and if the
men who wear protection livery don't
want to be crushed they must get out Of
the way.

FAST MAIL TRAINS.

There is an air of thinneSS about Post
master General DICKINsoN's explana-
ton of why there is no faster mail ser
vice between Chicago and the Twin
Cities. All that the postmaster general
says as to the running Of trains is true,
but it probably has never occurred to
him there might be change in the
schedule time. In the first place there
is really no necessity for asserting the
mails in Chicago. That work could be
done on the trains from the East to
Chicago, and the mail sacks could be
transferred in twenty minutes from any
one road to another, so that at the out
side not more than half hours delay at
Chicago is necessary. Then again, if
the fast mail trains from New York to
Chicago speed along over hills and
mountains and through deep ravines at
the rate of forty miles an hour, why is
it that the fast mail trains west of Chi
cago cannot be induced to glide along
over our smooth prairies at the same
rate of speed? A saving of an hour or
an hour and half that is now wasted
i'll useless delay at Chicago, and increase
of four or five miles an hour in the
average rate of speed of the mail trains
between here and Chicago would put
the Eastern mails into st. Paul and
Minneapolis at an hour early enough
to suit everybody. Will the postmaster
general be kind enough to reflect upon
this suggestion?

EXCITED INDIANS.
They Object to the Order Refusing to
Allow Them to 90 to Washington.
EXCITING COUNCIL HELD
Crow Eagle Anxious to See the Res
ervation Opened Other North

PIERRE, Dak., Feb. o3.-Great excite
ment prevails among the Indians on the
Cheyenne agencies. A large council
was held all night, addressed by Chiefs
White Swan, Crow Eagle, Spotted
Eagle, Hump and others who contem-
plated trip to Washington on behalf
OF their people to learn the full text of
the Dawes bill, and whose plans were
nipped i'll the bud by orders coming
from Commissioner Upshaw not to al
low the Indians to visit Washington.
crow Eagle spoke Of it as an outrage.
lie was anxious to see the reserva-
ton opened and knew his people
were with him. 1t was his intention
when in Washington to hasten the
passage of the bill, Over 81, 600 has been
raised from all sources for the visit to
Washington, costing the government
nothing. Agent McChesney was strongly
in favor of allowing the Indians to go,
and asked permission from Government
Agent Mclaughlin, of Standing Rock,
who refused to allow the Indians to
take up collection. All the others have
the funds, and the question now is
what they can do with the money.
Spotted Eagle was strongly in favor
OF making another effort to secure
permit, and the interest manifested at
the council shows that it is serious
matter,

THE sPORTIVE BOSSES.

The big bosses of the Democratic
party took quite a tusSle at Washington
during the presidents absence in the
Sunny South. In party management
there are big bosses and little bosses,
just as there are big generals and
smaller generals in an army; but there
can be but Ole head general, whose
orders shall be supreme, So there can in
party management be but one boss to
the music of whose lash all the other
bosses must dance.
During the campaign of 1884 and
since, Boss GoRMAN has driven the
team; but it has been clear for some
time that the ribbons were slipping
from his grasp, and that Boss SCOTT
was disposed to dispute his dictator
ship. The tusSle came on at the meet
ing of the national committee on
Wednesday, and it was an active and
interesting one, ending in a sort of dog
fall" but with SCOTT in rather the best
position.
The excellent quality of the metal in
the principal antagonists and their able
adherents is too well known to doubt,
but the diminishing will go on until
June ), at which time the referees will
be called i'll at st. Louis to witness the

THE TRUST INIOUITY.

Elsewhere in to-day's GLOBE will be
found the story of Trust generation i'm
this country, and how this new and in
famous species of commercial black
mail has succeeded in establishing Its
power and practically driving out of ex-
istence all competition. The Standard
Oil company, the worlds greatest mo-
nopoly. has the Infamous distinction of
originating Trusts. The sugar reiners
were tie next to adopt the idea, and
from that other manufacturing depart
ments took it up, until to-day the whole
business and industrial operations of
the nation are in the grasp of these evil
giants. Congress and the state legislatures
have inaugurated Investigations with
the avOwed purpose Of making war
against TRUSTS" and DISCRIMINATING the
evil. But. as rule, legislative inyesti-
cations amount TO SC little and the
''Trust" influence is so potent in all leg.

STABBED BY HIS WIFE.
"A Row in Negro Dive Which May
:, ~, Result Fatally.

Tom Morgan, a cOlored barber, was
seriously cut by his wife Annie in row
at the house of friend, disreputable
resort at No. 1872 East Sixth street, late
last night. The couple were married
month ago, Annie having formerly been
an inmate of house of ill-fame at
the corner of Eighth and Cedar streets,
which is kept by Morgan'S sister. They
took up their abode in the second story
of a Chinese laundry on WabaSha street
and lived tremendously until about a
week ago, when they Quarreled and
separated. The wife called on Nor
gan's sister that night and threatened
to kill him Oh sight. They met the next
day and made up, and all went
we'll until last night. Annie went
to the house of her friend on Sixth
street, in company with 'Petie" Jones,
notorious dive-keeper on Eighth
street, and Ollie Williams. About IL
o'clock Morgan came to the place after
her, and was refused admittance; He
broke in the door and tried to pull her
out. She fought back, and in the melee
they both fell over. While Morgan
was down he was stabbed four
times in the back and shoulder.
None of the wounds are necessarily
fatal, but DR.. Aubin, who attended him,
considers him dangerous. He was re-
moved to the house of his sister, who
called in Sergts. Zirkelbach and Swift
ger. The officers found Morgan's wife
in the place kept by ''Petie" Jones, on
Eighth street, near Robert, an hour
later, and she was locked up at the cen
trail station, charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon.

expect of these Investigations. 1t de-
wolves at last, as it does in almost every
case where reforms are to be worked
out, upon the independent press of the
country to make the investigations and
to expose the magnitude of the Trust"
iniQuity. In this, as in every other
good work pertaining to the public wei
fare, the GLOBE enters cheerfully upon
the duty of bringing the operations of
the Trust" system under the glare OF
public scrutiny and by thus exposing
the enormity of the iniquity, to aid the
people in getting rid of it. The GLOBE
dons its armor and asks the people of
the Northwest to stand by it i'll war
of determination against Trusts and
all other Ubiquitous devices whereby
dishonest capital is afforded an oppor-
tunity to Cypress honest labor, and
which are perpetual menace to popu-
lar government.

THE CUBAN TROURLE

The disturbances with which Cuba
has been inflicted for months seem to be
nearing elimination. In the insults
which an American citizen has received
at the hands of the arrogant government
of the island. the time has come for this
country to move in the matter, 1t
should have moved long since, as long
ago as the time of the Virginlus out
rage.
1t is Cuba's manifest destiny to be-
come part of this country, or to secure
independence under the protectorate of
the United States. 1t is what the peo-
pie themselves desire, and for indie
pendence many of them have fought
and died. 1t is that fact. perhaps. that
the kindness born OF fellow feeling,
that has produced such warm feeling
OF sympathy Oh the part of Americans
toward CubanS. The fact is undeniable
that the day which should sec Cuba I'M
der the fostering care Of this country
would be happy one indeed.
Spain regards the island simply as an
orange to be squeezed to the last drop.
and as providing profitable sinecures
for court favOrites. She has accord
ingly oppressed the people to the limit
| of endurance with oner0us and useless
taxes, and now she further harnesses
them with government whose common
amusement is the trampIng down of
every right or privilege remaining to
| the CubanS.

i the aggression has been carried too Tar.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

Tariff reform is the Democratic shibboleth
this year. If the GoRMAN eoterie can't pro-
nounce ii they had better drop to the rear.
~
OF the committeeman who made war
against the CLEVELAND administration, Sen
ator GoRMAN, of Maryland, is n coal baron
and a railroad director; JOHN S. BOUBOUR, of
Virginia, is a railroad president and iron
manufacturer, and HENRY G. DAVIS, of West
Virginia, is coal baron, railroad king and
father-in-laW to STEVE ELKINs. All are pro-
tectionists. 1t is by mourning the antagonism
of such people that Mr.. CLEVELAND imbeds
himself in popular affection.

Chicago has Cleveland club composed of

ing of both conventions in Chicago. Half
the club will haze TO move over to st. Louis

Gen. r. W. JoHNsoN-It is astonishing now
apt we are to overestimate any opposition we
may have, and particularly is this the case in
war; Should battle be fought between two
contending armies the chances are about
nine out of ten that both sides will claim that
they were greatly outnumbered. During the
late unpleasantness delegation of clergy
men called on Mr.. LINCOLN to assure him of
their sympathies and their prayers, and dur
ing the interview one asked him how many
men Mr.. DAVIS had under arms, to which he
replied: "Just 100000. have LOCO, 900,
and in every battle my generals have re-
ported that they were outnumbered three to
one. This being the case, it is readily seen
that the enemy opposed to us numbers
100000 of souls and like number of
muskets.'
~
The wisdom of an early convention is ap-
parent on all sides. The Democrats have
nothing to fix up. They know what their
work is TO be, and they want to get at it.

CONSOLING FOR FRISCO.

Though she failed to secure the ma
tional Democratic convention, San
Francisco has one consolation which
will go far toward counterbalancing any
disappointment she may be inclined to
feel over her failure. She has been
chosen the meeting place of the school
teachers annual convention, and next
July 10000 instructors of both sexes
will journey across the continent to the
Golden Gate.
Though she will not have the pleasure
of seeing the next president named,
San Francisco will derive from this
other convention more benefit than she
would from the gathering of politicians.
One of the main reasons why San Fran
cisco was eager to secure the con-
ventiOn was because of its value as
an advertisement. In entertaining the
school teachers she will have the biggest
kind Of All advertisement conceivable.

Democratic politicians shuddered when
tariff reform was mentioned. The
country did not know its own thought,
and reform was apparently further
away with each year. This common
place leader saw the time had come for
deliverance. With his Judgment he
selected his ground and from his cour-
age came challenge stripped of ex-
traneOus details-sO clear and ringing
that the weaker politicians in his own
camp held their breath. Has he made
a mistake? Has he put himself or his
party in danger? Not bit Of it. The
front of the enemy is in confusion.
-Four prominent Republicans have in
succession declined the honor Of lead
ing the assault against the Cleveland
position. The country is with him. The
Democratic party can hold for so many
years as it pleases the supremacy it
won under him in 1884. All it has to
do is to follow the line he has marked
ont.

AN EARLY CONVENTION.

1t was wise of the national committee
to fix an early date for the Democratic
convention. The party in power is al
ways supposed to lead off in a political
canvass. Not to do so is construed into
evidence of lack of Self-confidence, and
it would have been an objectionable
folly to have postponed the Democratic
convention until after the Republicans
held theirs. 1t was particularly neces-
Sary in this instance that the Democratic
convention should antedate the Repub-
lican's, because the Democrats propose
to make an aggressive fight on the
tariff. They want their forces in the
field early, their line of battle formed
and their standard advanced before the
Republicans get ready for action. And
then, too, from the dilatory methods
congress is exhibiting in disposing of
the tariff question, it may be necessary
for that body to have little shaking up
in advance of the opening of the fight.

THROTTLE THE TRUST.
Pitiful SOphistry.

Chicago Tribune.
The world and not the United States
is the market of the farmer, and his
price is the Liverpool price minus trans
pOrtatiOn charges. In the agricultural
West this truth is well understood, and
its contradiction by Chauncey NJ. Depew
can only excite amazement.
But when Mr.. Depew goes on to as
seTt that this country produces 1.-THE
clothing and the household effects which
the laborer uses cheaper than the older
nations," he can be charged only with
absolute nonsense. The assertion is I'M
true beyond mitigation or excuse. 1t
refutes itself. If it be true that such
articles are produced cheaper here than
in other countries, what possible object
can there be in putting tariff on them?
Is high tariff necessary to prevent the
people buying inferior foreign goods at
high rates when they can get better
American goods for less? Such is the
logic of Depew'S argument.
His whole tariff discussion was one
of evasion and pitiful sophistry. Its
rhetorical decorations can not obscure
its vicious Misrepresentation, excuse
its audaciOus perversion of facts, or pal
late its trickery. 1t was beneath the
occasion and unworthy the man.
