Harris as an Obstacle.

Nashville Banner.
Senator Harris's record of opposi-
ton to river and harbor appropria-
ton bills is a matter for serious con-
sideration by the votes of this county.
In a long service of twelve years in
the senate he has voted against every
river and harbor appropriation bill
that has been passed, when his vote
is on record at all. Instead of using
his influence as senior senator from
Tennessee to advance our river inter-
ests he has uniformly voted against
every bill containing an appropria-
ton for our rivers. Is this the man
the Cumberland river counties want
to have in the senate at time when
everybody recognizes the necessity Of
using every means and influence to
secure the proper navigation of this
important river? The effort upon the
part of Mr.. Harris supporters to
justify his habitual opposition to
river appropriation bills by the plea
that some of the items in these bills
were questionable, is absurd ~when
we remember that such men as Dib-
rell, House, McMillin and Atkins
voted for such bills. Perhaps no per-
feetly satisfactory and entirely unob-
jectionable appropriation bill will ev-
er be secured and if Tennessee means

Gen. Harris0n's plurality in Indiana will

the Associated Press and the Western

but it is probable some slight changes
will occur when the official returns. as
canvassed by the boards, are completed
by the secretary of state. The official
figures on the state will probably not be
known for several days yet, as only
three counties have been received by
the secretary of state. Neither of the
state committees is receiving returns
any longer, and their knowledge as to
the result is therefore based entirely
upon the press reports. The Demo-
Gratis concede, however, that the Repub-
lican plurality will be about $500. The
entire Republican state ticket is elected
from governor to reporter of the SUI
preme court. In was generally sup
posed that Gen. HOvey'S vote would fall
several thousands short of Gen. Harri-
sons, but very full returns thus far in

dental vote; in fact there is scarcely

BOON BUSINESS.

The farmers of Minnesota have de-
clared that they don't want tax reduc
ton, and that settles it. Now let us
turn our attention to something else.
Let rs construct platform that all the
people OF the state can stand together
Oh. We have it. Let it be {, platform
advocating business boom here in the
Northwest; then let us nominate Major
Thrift and General Prosperity on our
ticket and elect it unanimously. We
can make it a rousing campaign ii we
only give our attention to it. and it will
be successful.
Our Republican friends promised us
that If the people restored them to
power in the national government they
would inaugurate an era of industrial
prosperity unprecedented in the history
of the country. The people took them
at their word. and now they have the
opportunity to make their promise
good. The GLOBE is not so mnch Un
der the influence of Il partisan spirit as
to sullenly stand as an obstacle i'll the
Wayuof a return to prosperity, even
though it comes through Republican
agencies. We are just as anxious for
industrial progress and a revival of
business as the other fellows. We
did differ with them as to the
best means to, bring prosperity
about, but as their notions are to pre-
vail for the next four years and not
ours, we are not only willing, but any.
ious, to give them every opportunity to
demonstrate the wisdom of their policy.
We know that national thrift means na-
tional wealth, national greatness, ma
tional independence and national sue
cess. We know that national wealth is
the root of national superiority, for
among all the historic nations of CONT
mental Europe, no poverty stricken peo-
pie have even made themselves re-
spectacle among mankind, or main
tanned prominent position as first
class power. We believed, and honestly
believed, that high protective tariff
was restraint upon the development
of our national wealth. A majority Of
the people differed with us on this
proposition, and now we are not only
going to let the majority have their way,
but we are going to do our best to help
them along.

CALIFORNIA.
Alas for Democratic Homes,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9-TWo hun
bred and twenty-five thousand two hun
and and eighty-on votes had been can
vassed III California this morning. This
includes the entire vote of San Fran
cisco. with the exception of nine pre-
.cincts. which will not be obtained for
several days. 1t also includes the vote
of 1.l23 interior precincts out of a total
of 1880. The result Of the vote as far as
counted is as follows: Harrison. 49,
SIC; Cleveland. 104,615; Fisk, 1853;
Quits, 1,032.
The result of the congressional cleo
lions may be summed up as follows:
,McKenna, Rep. and Vandeyer. Rep,
are undoubtedly reelected in the Third
and Sixth districts respectively. There
rs also little doubt that Morrow, Rep, is
reelected i'm the Fourth district, as
he has now plurality of 600, with very
few precincts to hear from. Biggs,
DEM, has plurality OF nearly twelve
hundred in the Second district and his
recollection is considered certain. In
the two remaining districts, the First
and Fifth, the contest is very close and
both parties are claiming the election.
Tn the First district, De Haven, Rep.
has plurality Of nearly two hundred
over Thompson, DEM, but there are
three counties in the district from
which no returns have been received,
and eight other counties from which re-
turns are only partially in. In the Fifth
district, from which also returns are in
complete, Clunie, DEM, is leading
Phelps, Rep, by nearly two hundred.
1t was at first believed that the entire
Democratic ticket in this city had been
elected. but later returns show that
while Cleveland has plurality of over
twenty-seven hundred. the Republicans
have secured the sheriff, tax collector,
county clerk and district attorney, and
probably one supervisor and three
school directors.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9-The full
vote of the city, with the exception of
and precinct. gives Cleveland 29,270;
Harrison, &c. 1913; Curtis, 294; Fisk, u;

THE STATE VOTE.

Official returns from a majority of the
counties in this state and fair esti-
mate on the counties yet to hear from
give HARRISON and MORTON plurality
in this state of fraction over $4,000.
The Republicans do not make as good a
showing Oh the state ticket, as Mr..
MERRIAM runs nearly $1,000 behind the
national ticket. 1t will be observed
from our figures that there is an in
crease in the total vote of the
state of about $4,000 since the last
presidential election, and the Democrats
have the advantage OF the increase.
CLEVELAND gains 10000 over his vote
in 1884, while HARRISON gains less than
10000 on the BLAINE vote. The Prohi
bition gain in four years has been 5000.
If this ratio of Democratic gains con-
tinues until 1892, Minnesota will be le
ultimate fighting ground for both par
ties in the next presidential election.

CRAWLING BACK.

Now that the election is over, the Pr
oneer Press is rapidly climbing back to
its original position in favor of Demo
cratic doctrine. In the tariff views eX-
pressed in yesterdays issue, it virtually
takes the position that, while the Demo-
cratic ticket was defeated, the result of
the election was a triumph for Demo-
cratic principles, and insists that the
tariff be now revised and reformed ac-
cording to the CLEVELAND idea. While
the GLOBE ardently wishes that it could
see the result of Tuesdays election in
a light so favorable to the cause
of Democracy, we frankly admit
that we do not see it in any
such light. 1t was clear defeat for
the Democrats Oh well-defined issue,
and it is worse than folly to hope that
the vlctors are going to surrender all
tire trophies of the fight. If any voter
gave his support to the Republican ma
tional ticket upon the theory that there
would ever be revision or reformation
of the tariff under Republican admins
tration that would amount to pinch of
snuff. he was w0fullv mistaken. There
will doubtless be some tinkering with
the tariff by Republicans in congress,
there will probably be lessening of
duties on some articles that are classed
as luXuries, but there will be no reduc-
ton of taxation on the necessaries of
life. If the Republican party is true to
its policy and to the men who furnished
the money to win its success, 1t cannot
repeal or lower the duties on articles of
general consumption.
1t is always best to be honest about
these things. President-elect HARRI-
son gave no uncertain sound during
the campaign as to his position on the
tariff. He stood on the Chicago plat
form. and is there yet. The BLAINES.
the QUAYs. the McKINLEYs, the De-
PEwS, and the other leaders who fought
and won the battle for the Republicans.
stand by HARRIsoN's side. and will see
to it that the tariff is not materially dis
turbed during the next four years. They
are not men to surrender an advantage
when once gained. They know as we'll
as we do that if tariff reform is ever ac-
complished it must be through the in
strumentaiity of the Democratic party

ton fodder of its own preparation than

A HORSri SHOW.

II a dog show can be success in Min
nesota. why is it that we can not make
an equal success of horse show. Horses
are of more value than dogs, and GER
tainly here in state SO we'll adapted to
horse raising, and where so much atten-
ton is now being paid to the breeding
OF horses, public interest and enlight-
ened curiosity could be excited by a
display of fine horses. The horse show
in New York this week has been
magnificent success. In spite of the
universal interest in the election,
Madison Square garden was crowded
with visitors who manifested more in
tereSt in the show of equine beauties
than they did in the presidential con-
test. Live stock breeding is proving to
be profitable business here in Mime
soti. The state has already gained
reputation for it's fine horses and cattle.
Heretofore our live stock dealers have
been principally importers of horses of
high class. There is no reason why
from this time, they should not be eX-
porterS. If our horse men should ar
range to have horse show here in this
city, we are confident that they will not
only make a financial success of it, but
they will also make it the means Of giv-
ing wonderful impetus to the business
of breeding fine horses in this state.

HARD To EXPLAIN.

Of course it was the tariff that did it;
but how does it happen that many OF
the great manufacturing points of the
country did better by the Democrats than
most of the agricultural districts OF this
and other Western states. where tariff
reduction was needed pretty much by
everybody? 1t is theory generally ae
cepted in physics and most other ranges
that every effect has cause. Possibly
that is true of the peculiar manifesto
tions of popular sovereignty seen the
past week, but the subject has too many
manifestations and complications for
present calculation. Post-mortem lnves-
LEGATIONS are doubtless useful as afford
ing guides for the future, but only the
morbid or professional find eXhilaration

They Don PantalOons and Help
Their Father Dig Potatoes and
Pillow.
Atlanta Journal.
A crowd of people stood OH a public
road this morning near the Cotton Ex-
position mills and watched two buxom
country lasses who had dOnned panta-
looms and were helping their father dig
potatoes. Their costume was peculiar
and striking. They wore basque, the
back end of which answered for coat
tail, and their jeans pantaloons fitted
as nicely as il cut by New York
tailor.
They did not seem to mind the rude
crowd that stood ont in the public road
and stared at them. With breaches on,
they moved about among the potato
Mills and clods of dirt with the ease and
agility of a man. No cumbersome
dress dragged in the dirt and caught on
weeds and briarS. In such costume
they did as much work as the old man,
and maybe more.
When the Journal man reached the
place the girls had quit the field and
gone to the house to prepare dinner.
They had laid aside their masculine
garments and were as wOmanly and a
modest as thrifty housewives could be.
After dinner they were to put on their
pantaloonS again and follow the plowS
the rest of the afternoon. Dresses airs
even more in the way when woman lie
blowing than when she is digging po-
tatoes.
This is new move among farm girls.
1t will probably take like wild-fire.
There are many country lasses who are
called upon to go out in the field and
help the men folks, and if their labor is
doubled on account of the incOnven-
fence of skirts why shouldn't they wear
pantalOonS while working i'll the field?

THE pRoHiB,TIoSlsrs.

The Democrats have recovered Suffi-
Gent consciousness to know where they
are, and to have something like an in
telligent idea of what hit them. But
nobody seems to know what became of
the late so-ealled Prohibition party.
Did it dissolve and pass off into air be-
fore election day, or was it translated,
like ELIJAH of old, in battles fiery car,
or does it lie buried beneath the wreck
which the political cyclone left in its
pathway? AT all events, it is not visible in
the election returns, and it is mystery
what became of it. Up to within few
DAYS OF the election the Prohibition
party cut very considerable figure,
when suddenly it dropped out of sight,
and hasn't been seen since. What be-
came of its membership? The Prohibi-
ton candidates and the Prohibition
papers had been claiming that defeat
was impossible, because the prayers of
all Christian people were with them,
and that prayers counted for more than
votes. Did they? Or was it because
the prayers were as scarce as the votes
that the Prohibition party went to
pieces?
At its last general conference, the
Methodist church formally declared
that prohibition and not license was the
true remedy for the intemperance evil.
Other ecclesiastical organizations united
in this opinion. and there was, reason to
believe that all sincere church people
would indorse it. But they did not. If
they prayed for prohibition, it is sure
they did not vote as they prayed. 1t
was a maxim with the first NAPOLEON
that Providence was always Oh the side
of the heaviest artillery. Viewing the
temperance question as a politico-re-
ligious one, we are inclined to the opin-
ion that partisan prejudice is stronger
in the average human breast than re-
ligious zeal. Here is an apparent illus
tration of it. The churches said that
prohibition was the only remedy for in
temperance. The Republican party
said that whisky free from government
tax, but subject to high local license.
was the better remedy. The majority
of the church members adopted the Re
publican theory in preference to eccle
