SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN
Mr. George H Markell, one of our oldest
and most esteemed citizens, died suddenly at
his home, on Lac s.Ieet, between King and
Prince at an early hour Saturday evening.
The deceased when he received his death
stroke was en- duty at the Citizens National
Bank, where he had been for sometime en-
ployed as watchman. and was sitting in
chair con 7ersipg with an acquaintance. He
ct first felt a severe pain 10 the left eide,
which growing in intensity, caused him to
walk to bis home, across the street. for the
purpose of getting something for his relief,
but upon arriving there be became epeech-
less and in few minutes his death ensued.
Mr.. Markell was extensively known In this
city and surrounding country, and before
the breaking out of the war conducted the
leather business on Union street. Ee was
for number of years member of the City
Council, serving 10 both the lower board and
the Board of Aldermen, and was always re-
garded as quiet, unobtrusive gentleman,
respected by all who knew him. He was
in the 7S.h year of bis age. His wife ard
two children survive him.

due to the fact that the sun is 30 much

From this time until twenty mine minutes

Death-Its Lessons.

As We take up the pen for duty
this morning we feel solemn thoughts
crowding the mind-thoughts whose
bright pinions are less palpable than
filmy gOssamer, more swift in flight
than lights transmitted ray.
We stand in the presence Of death
that solemn messenger that speaks
to the young, the middle aged and
the old that there is a time to die. -
This reaper for the eternal garner
has come and gathered to the Great
Beyond three of our citizens repre-
sentingthe three ages of life youth,
in its vigor and prime; middle age,
ripening into maturity; and the aged,
with its lengthing shadows and de-
cline.
1t is sad-streaming eyes fastened
upon that countenance cold in death
the last look! Theelders Of Ephesus
fell upon Paul's neck and kissed him,
sorrowiDg most Of all, for the words
which he spake that they should see
his face no more. Our friends and
neighbors lie in the marble sleep of
death. The heart and memory
strive to retain the image Of those
beloved, but the eyes see them no
more. Their life-work is DER. They
have laid down the burden with its
cares, its foibles of human nature
and their spirits are with their maker.
We stand upon a gulf which is
swallowing up all things human.
How solemnly does the lesson come
home TO every reader of these lines!
II is hut a few more breaths and
friends will bury US; affection will
rear a stone and plant a few flowers
over our graves-weshall be remem-
bered with those that were. The
hundreds Of breathless bosoms that
lie in our cemeteries speak the same
lesson. Are We prepared 10 die?
Are we living lives that will enable
Us to meet the summons without a
sludder? Are we prepared 10 meet
the Judge:
Alb! reader, let your prayer b.:
When this hand Of mine shall be
pulseless aud cold, and motionless as
the grave wherein it must lie; when
the damp, dewy vapors shall replace
this sensible, warm motion" and
death shall spread my couch and
weave my shroud; when the winding
sheet shall be my sole vesture, and

ufaeturers of the country at the pub
lie expense through the agency Of
the tariff. That this is contrary to
every principle Of right and justice
is perfectly manifest. If, indeed,
the employees of the manufacturers
were benefited, the wrong might the
better be submitted 20, but they are
not benefited. "Protection" is for
the bosses, while for the operatives"
it is unlimited free trade"
Fifty years ago the cry was for
protection to Infant industries" :;
now the cry is for protection for
projections sake, and the bigger and
stronger and older and more matur-
ed and more powerful and more
giant-like the industry now is, the
more Justify it cries for protection
and the more it gets Of it. The
modern idea is not to distribute the
burdens Of taxation as equally as
possible to take them from a chosen
few, the rich manufacturers, and
place them upon the poverty strick-
en- consumers; not to do the greatest
good to the greatest number Of
American people, but to enrich a
chosen few, mainly in the Northern
section, at the expense of the country
at large.
This is the tariff policy of the
Radical party and it is entirely in
keeping with its policy in the matter
of paying off the Federal debt
Everything that party does and
everything it leaves undone is for
the benefit Of Northern money

As we have said, taxes are neees.
sary, but the less of them the better
especially when Federal tax-gathers
have to go into a State for theil
collection, and in this case we OBJ.
ject to the mode of collection quite
as much as to the taxation itself
Like our forefathers, we object t.
the system for the very reason Mr.
Hamilton urged it, that is to say
because it strengthens the power Of
the Federal government and weaken:
that of the States. as he said, "by
introducing the influence of officer
deriving their emoluments from, ant
consequently interested in support
ing the power of, Congress"

Democrats Consider.

Is it not better to support the
party nominees than Republicans
and renegades? Democrats, ask
yourselves that question.
The aillsboro Recorder puts it in
this forcible way: ave ask the
question: Is it fair or Just for a
Democratic Convention by a fair
vote and honest count to nominate
a man for the General Assembly and
then for Democrats to turn their
backs upon him and refuse to vote
for him? Mr.. Nichols is now, and
has been, a firm Democrat, his neigh
bors say he is an upright and just
man. He is fairly an intelligent
man; knows the wants and nccessi-
ties Of the Agricultural classes, and
in our opinion will make us faith
full representative. Mr.. Thos. NJ.
Cheek, Of Orange, and Mt. John T.
Nichols, Of Durham, are the Dem.
ocratic nominees for the House OF
Representatives. Durham and Or
ange vote together. Both of tbes,
men are farmersand true Democrats
let every Democrat cast his vote fol
these men. Remember we have &

death, unlock for me then the por-

Go to the unfortunate and tell
him there is a better day coming

FOR TAX REFORM.
Fifth District NOrwegians Will
Battle for Cleveland and Wilson.

Careful investigation of the status of
the Norwegian vote in the Fifth district,
made by representative of the GLOBE
this week, reveals breaking away
from old party lines and traditions that
augurs well for Democratic success this
year.
Said one of the leading Norwegians of
Clay county to the GLOBE:
1.-The Norwegian vote can neither be
bought nor sold. My cOuntrymen have
accepted the cause of tariff reform from
President Cleveland in good faith, and
we will vote for him and the regular
Democratic nominees this year."
Perhaps nothing has done more to fire
the blood of the Norwegian voters than
the insults that have been heaped upon
Knute Nelson by the Republican orators
and press.
The boast of the Merriam managers as
they left Market hall after his nomina-
ton was
we have buried Knute Nelson and
Charley Gilman forever"
To insult Knute Nelson is to insult
every intelligent Norwegian in Mime
sofa. Those of the Fifth district-25.0 900
strong-feel keenly the contumely that
has been heaped upon him, and their
votes IN November will tell whether or
no their hearts are with him. Through
the counties of Otter Tail, Stevens,
Grant, Traverse, Big Stone, Pope,
Polk, Clay, Wilkin, Norman and
KittsOn theNOrwegian vote is very strOn-
and holds the balance of power. Rep
resentative men and NOrwegians from
these counties attended the Fergus
Falls convention and there gave strong
pledges 10 Messrs. Canning and Wilson
that they would support them to the
end. They went so far as to state that
Mr.. ComstOck would not carry his own
county; that Norman and Kittson
hitherto Republican, would give Can
ming and Wilson majority: that Will
son and Canning would run ahead of
their ticket in st. Louis county, where
the labor vote is pledged to them, and
that Big Stone, Traverse and Stevens
would show heavy Republican losses.
They accorded to Mr.. Wilson an en-
thusiastic reception, and his address on
the tariff was warmly indOrsed By them.

AN EXCELLENT TRACK
Results in Remarkable Time Be
ing Made.

The races were thoroughly enjoyable,
the track was in good condition for fast
time. and the expectations ot,the enthu-
siaSts in their favorable predictions of

The result Of the 2:24 pace, in particu-
lar, furnished food for congratulation,

time of 2:2212, and even their most en-
thuSiastic admirers were not prepared
10 see them once more lower their rec
ord by quarter of a second, complet-
ing the circuit in 2:22.

OUR NATURAL WEALTH.
Display of Farm Products in Agri-
cultural Hall

Minnesota, as a territory, early took
front rank among the older states of the
Union in the material development of
her agricultural resources, a position
which she holds to-day. But had the
pioneer of the early days been permit
ted to draw the veil obscuring her
future, and view the display of yester-
day in Agricultural hall. of the wealth
of farm, garden and orchard products
there exhibited, it would have been a
hard matter for him to have conceived
such results possible other than by the
ala of cOnjurer.
In this building is tastily arranged a
magnificent display of the agricultural,
horticultural and floral products Of the
Northwest, furnished by the railroads,
counties and individuals. From early
morning until night 1t is thrOnged with
a multitude of visitors and is one of the
chief centers of interest. The broad
tables throughout the great building
are heavily loaded with a tempting
array of luscious fruits of all varieties
common to a temperate climate. and
the superb display of grains and root
crops is commented upon by all, while
the walls and ceilings are garniShed
with grasses, grains and herbs in great
prOfusiOn.
Prominent in the hall is the display of
the Northern Pacific railway. which Oc-
cupieS space near the center of the
building, Just north of the fountain.
This exhibit was arranged under the
experienced eye of Mr. Harvey, of the
land department of the road, and en-
braces specimen products of everything
that grows along the line in Minnesota,
I Inl,.
Washington territory. The display of
apples. pears. peaches. plumS, prunes,
prunellS. and other fruits, in both pre-
served and natural state, is particularly
fine, while sections of trees from Puget
Sound six and eight feet in diameter,
and fine collections of minerals are
prominently displayed.
The display of sugar manufactured
from Minnesota grown amber cane,
which is an important factor in the
agricultural products of the state, also
attracted much attention, the product
being displayed in pyramids of glass
jars and barrels.
The exhibit of grains, fruits. root
crops and minerals from Minnesota,
Dakota and Montana. found on the line
of the Manitoba railway, have been
artiStically arranged in the allotted
space in the north end of the building
under the direction of J. Bookwalter, of
the Manitoba roads land department.
Among the many other varieties of
grains shown is fine specimen basket
of hulless black barley, which is fast
becoming a staple product of the North
west. Granite from Sioux Falls and st.
Cloud and fine specimens of oak, ash,
elm. Eastwood and butternut trees from
Mile LacS, Benton and Morrison coun-
ties and heads of moose. elk and other
animals Wing features of the display
Probably the most artistic piece of work
wrought in straw to be found on the
grounds is in this eXhibit-a miniature
railway train, constructed of wheat,
oats and straw, and trimmed with ever
green twigs.
