CHILLED REPUBLICANS.

The Republican waters must be
chilly when leaders like Judge GREsH-
AM and ALBERT SCHEFEER refuse to
wade into them: judge GRESHAM
rather gracefully gets out of yielding
support to HARRISON and MORTON by
enveleping himself in the folds of the
in iicial ermine, all the while forgettul
that that there would he no more i'm
prOpriety in Sayinga good word for HAIR
RISoN's candidacy than there was in
making big struggle to get on the
ticket in HARRISON place. Mr. SCHEF-
FER's rebellion against MERRIAM is
different, however. from Judge GRESII-
ANS kick on HARRISON. Mr.. SCHEF-
FER has no judicial gown 10 hide be-
hind, and probably wouldn't if lie had.
He is a plain, outspOaen man, who
talks straight at a person. lie says that
Mr.. MERRIAM friends have made fire.
Quent oyertureS TO him with view of
getting his public Endorsement of Mr..
NEERIAM'S candidacy. but TO no avail.
Mr.. SCHEFFER was candidate before
the convention that nominated Mr..
MERRIAM, and he knows what influences
were brought to bear against him and
the other defeated candidates. Judge
GRESHAM was q candidate before the
Chicago convention, and he is in position
to know something OF the influences
that brought about HAIRIsoN'S n0mi-
nation. Both of these gentlemen are in
possession of more facts than
they have yet cared TO give
to the public. and they are
facts. too. which the public ought 10
know all about. They probably hest
tate to speak more plainly or more in
detail because of their partisan rela-
tons, or what is still more probable,
because of the fear they may be called
Screheads. But whatever may be the
cause. one thing is very Surc-neither
Judge GRESHAM nor Mr.. SCHEFFER
has any heart in tie canvass. If
HARRISON is defeated. Judge GRESHAM
will Shed 10 tear, Ii MIR. MERRIAM is
showed under, Mr.. SCHEFFER will net
wear mourning. There are thousands
of other Republicans who fseI precisely
the same way. They Geplore the
power that money ami the corporations
have secured in American politics. and
while they hesitate TO make an open
break from their party, they are Sc
cretly prayly praying for the defeat of
the candidates who SO Enthusiastically

A BOOMERANG.

The wanton attempt of the Mime
apolis Tribune to besmirch the good
name of Judge MACDONALD is already
proving boomerang, and promises to
do him more good than harm. Far
minded men express their disgust at
the shameful course adopted 10y the Re-
publican organ, and many who might
otherwise have been lukewarm will now
give active and hearty to the work Of
securing Judge MACDoNALD's return TO
congress. a significant feature of
Judge MACDONALD'S reception atGlen-
coe, detailed in the GLOBES dispatches
this mOnling, WAS the visit paid him by
a delegation Of Union veterans, who
took occasion to publicly express their
approval of his course in congress, and
TO assure him of their best wishes for
his success. Probably the Tribune will
not consider this worthy of mention iii
the meager report it will doubtless give
of the judges visit 10 Glencoe.

MERRIAM on PROJECTION.

Millionaire MERRIAM undoubtedly
has a great head when it comes to the
discussion of the tariff question. He
realizes the gravity Of the situation !;
for, as he told his hearers last evening,
''fOr the first time in Il quarter Of cen
fury great issue has come up between
the two parties" Millionaire MER-
RTAM sees great danger TO 1.-The system
of American industry" in the present
attitude of the Democratic party, which
fought to decimate this great land of
ours" and bcgs all good citizens
to fly for refuge to the Republican
mantle Of protection. OF course.
the people of Minnesota are highly
Interested in knowing just what
the Republican gu5ernatOrial caEdi-
dates precise views Oh the i'm
portant Issue of the tariff may be, and
hence the GLOBE has taken pains to
present verbatim report of his speech
in st. Paul last evening. Unfortunate
ly. he did not go into tie question very
extensively, but what he did say was
quitemeaty. Here is Millionaire MER-
RAMS view on the matter as stated by
himself:
1t is immaterial. practically, what things
are protected aud what is The amount of the
protection. 1t Is the general principle that
we should look after eur labor. that the
citizens may lie happy ana that our nation
may become great
Listen to that. voters Of Minnesota.
What do you think of that for view of
the tariff? oh, yes, 1t is quite imma-
terial.
But. seriously, is this the sort of man
whom the Intelligent voters OF Mime
sofa are asked to place in the highest
position in their gift? Is twaddle like
this to command the support of think
ing men? Compare this stuff with any
of the lucid speeches Of EUGENE VII
son. and then say whether it were not
better for the good name of the state TO
relegate Millionaire MERRIAM TO the
SecluSion Of his banking Office and the
companioEShip of his check books.

such labor III Washington ter
ritory, as compared with Austria
liza. would be more than offset by
the cost of transportation of wool from
Australia to this country? In aword, is
it not true that the Western wool grower
can place his raw material in the hands
of the manufacturer at fully as small
cost to himself as can the wool grower
of any country on the face of the globe,
if not for less? If so, why can lie not
compete with free wool from Australia,
or anywhere else?
The people of the United States. are
generous, but many of them find it hard
to understand why they should furnish
unlimited public land for free pasturagc
and then be compelled to pay double
price for the product. The wool
growers Of Washington will find it
difficult to create any very extended
feeling of sympathy among the people,
in their efforts to maintain the present
eXorbitant tariff on this prime necessary

Is 1T UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

Some of the leading lawyers of New
York express themselves as strongly of
the opinion that the new law providing
for the execution of criminals by elec-
tricity, instead Of by hanging, is uncon-
stituti0Dal, Icing i'll violation of the
state constitution. and also of article S
of the amendments to the constitution
of the United States, which provides
that unusual ard cruel punishmentS
shall not be inflicted. OF course, cleo
trlcai executions would be unusual-at
least, at first-but in order to render
the law unconstitutional it must also be
shown that they are cruel. Probably.
any mode of death that it would be
practicable to adopt might in a certain
sense be deemed cruel: but in the sense
intended by the legislature, it IS doubt
full if a court would feel justified in call
ing it cruel. The purpose of the law
was to provide the most humane mode
of death practicable. one that should be
effective and he as free as possible from
the elements of torture. While our
knowledge of electricity is by no means
complete, nevertheless what we do
know leads to the belief that it pro-
duces death with less physical suffering
than any other agent known to science
which could be used. 1t is certainly a
vast improvement on the barbarOuS
method OF hemp and gallOws now i'll

THE NURSERY ATNIGHT.

The day is done. and in their cosy nest
The rosy darlings lie in perfect rest:
Their shining tresses softly straying DER
Those dimpled cheeks which we may kiss
once more
Before we go: but let the kiss be light;
Good night, sweet slum5erers;
Good night, good night.
Anon we see a smile all gently play
Ger sweet face. then slowly die away;
The little brain with fairy fancies teens,
And Flosse wanders in the land of dreams
There she will wander till nights shadows
flee,
Good night. little one,
God guardeth thee.
She sees serener sunlight, fairer flowers.
And bluer skies than grace this world of
ours,
As down the silent slopes of shadow land
Again she giides. her hoopin eager hand,
Or may mythie butterfly pursue.
Good night. my pretty one,
Till morn. Adieu.

GREENWAY'S GRIT.
Canadian Pacific Officials Term 1t
Mixture OF ignorance and
Call


Gall.
MONTREAL, p. O.. Oct. 25.-Judge
Clark. solicitor Of the Canadian Pacific
railway has prepared brief OF the Red
River railroad. which sets out that in
the arrangement between the Dominion
government and the Canadian Pacific
Railway company, whereby the latter
waived its rights under clause II of its
charters (the SO-Called ''monODOly
clause, the company did not legally or
morally assent to its lines being crossed
at pleasure by local railways. By the
abrogation of the monopoly clause"
the company was relegated to the same
rights as are possessed by every other
Dominion railway, which has been de-
c!ared to be for the general advantage
of Canada. The law relating TO the
crossing of such railways by others has
Leen on the statute books since 1888,
and every railway crossing in Canada
since that time has been made under its
provisions. Mr.. Greenway's govern
ment seems to think that dominion laws
which do not answer their purpose
should be ignored. and they seem to
think also that the Canadian Pacific
railway has 10 rights which they
ARE BOUND TO RESPECT.
The company believes its legal posi-
ton to be perfectly clear, and is de-
termined to resist to the utmost any at
tempts to cross its lines unlaWfully.
The Canadian Pacific company is
obliged TO observe the Dominion laws
in crossing the lines of other railways.
and it is clearly entitled to the protec-
ton the same laws afford when its
line is exposed. 1t is customary when
one railway seeks TO cross the line of
another to endeavOr 10 arrange with the
company whose line is proposed TO
be crossed as to the point and man
ner of crossing, and the regula-
ton under which, for public safety, the
crossing shall be worked. Failing this
the law provides for recourse to the rail
way committee of the privy council,
which has power to determine all Ques-
tons
RELATING TO SUCH CROSSINGS.
In the present case the Red River Val
lev line was not only surveyed but
.graded before anything was said to the
Canadian Pacific Railway company
about the crossing, and before any APP
plication was made to the railway COM
mittee of privy council. The surveys
had been made for months, and if the
application to the railway committee of
the priYy council had been made in
due time, the whole question could
have been settled before this,
because the law provides for the sub
mission by the railway committee of
the privy council to the supreme court
for immediate decision any question of
law about which the committee may
have doubts. Therefore if any great
delay results from the present diff

HIS MARRIAGE A FAILURE.
A Fort Dodge Man Elopes With
His Handmaiden.

FORT DODGE, TO-, Oct. 25.-A sensa-
ton was created here to-day by the dis
cQyery of the elopement Of w. G. Payne,
a well known barber of this city, with
his servant girl, Rose Connors. The
young woman has been living in the
family. consisting of Payne, his wife and
little daughter, for about six months.
The guilty pair left here Tuesday,
but so neatly planned their scheme
that the true state of affairs was not de-
velOped until to-day. Payne said he
was going hunting for few days in an
adjacent county, while the girl went to
visit friends. Since their separation it
has been learned that Payne purchased
complete travelling outfit for his fair
partner. Diligent efforts are being
made to capture the pair, but there is
little hope of success, as they had
ample time to cover their tracks well.
There is much indignation at Payne's

POCKETS WELL LINED.
Embezzler Axworthy Has Money
Enough to Keep the Wolf From
the Door.

the Door.
CLEVELAND. O., Oct. 25.-When
Thomas AXworthy, the defaultIng city
treasurer, babe Cleveland q hasty good
bye ON Sept. 2S, he had on his person
bills of exchange representing more
than 100000, drawn on DreXel, Morgan
d Co., of New York city. This was in
dependent of the cash he had with him,
which is known to be at least S31 900.
How much more money he took away
with him, if any, will probably be
learned as the official investigation pro-
crosses. The manner in which he
obtained the bills of exchange and
his disposition of them diSprOve
all the theories advanced by his friends
in support of the belief that he had not
deliberately f1eeced the city of what
ever he could lay bis hands on when he
saw that the crash was coming, and
fed. On the day before he left the city
he visited the National City bank, the
Cleveland National bank, the Ohio
National bank, the Union National
bank, the Cleveland National bank, and
the Commercial National bank, and
purchased bills of exchange OH DreXel,
Morgan q Co., of New York, amounting
to sum slightly in excess of 100000.
The only national banks that he did
not visit for this purpose were
the Merchants and the Bank of
Commerce, and the reason is
plain, for his bondsmen, Mr..
Wade and Senator FL. 3. Payne are
connected, one or the other OF them,
with these institutions, and would have
had their suspicious aroused by such an
action. Mr.. AXworthy gave his per-
sOnal checks in payment for the bills.
Drexel, Morgan d Co. have number
of branch offices in Europe. and the
simplest logic leads to the conclusion
that Mr.. Axworthy converted his Cleve-
land paper into foreign bills of eX-
change at the New York office before
he went to Montreal. The defalcation
is at least $4,000 and may be still
more. No trace of the missing man
after he left Montreal on Oct. 2 has yet
been found. His friends say he is
probably in Belgium.

AS TO YVES FERN WOOL

The wool growers of Washington
territory are loud in their protests
against any reduction in the present
high tariff imposed Oh their pet staple.
They say they would not be able to
compete with the free article from Aus
tralia. Why not? Does their pasturage
cost them any more than it does the
wool growers of Australia? Is it not,
indeed. a fact that they have practically
free use of unlimited acreage of the
public domain, and that the amount Of
capital invested by them in land is
almost nothing? Is it not true that but
few industries require less manual
labor than wool growing, and is it also
not true that whatever difference there
may he IF, indeed, there is any
difference at ALI in the cost of
