Colorado Will Send a Cowboy
Brigade to the Inauguration,


DENVER, Col, Feb. 21.-The great
West is to be represented at Gen. Har-
rison's Inauguration by genuine cow
boy brigade, ''sombreros, shapps" and
blue shirts will distinguish the delega-
ton from the boundlesS prairies and the
foothills of the Rockies, and if such
trappings do not offset in the big Wash
ingtOn parade the tinsel and plumeS of
the effete East, there will be grOaning
among the politicians and business men
here who to-day about completed az
rangements intended to put down East
ernS in the shade. The nucleus of the
brigade. providing there is no hitch,
will be 100 leading citizens of Denver
who are about equally interested in
politics, cattle and mining. Thomas
McGill, of the Tabor Grand opera
house, is directing the movement. The
programme is for the hundred Denver
men aceoutered in all the parapher-
MALTA of cowboys, to start from here
over the Rock Island route Feb. 26 for
Washington, and be joined en- route by
other cowboys" who may wish to thus
uphold the glory of the West. At
Kansas City the dodge City Cowboy
band'' will be attached to the brigade.
The band is to give concerts on the re-
turn trip, which may be by way of New
Orleans. Most of the members of the
brigade are splendid specimens of
Western manhood, brawny siX-footers,
who, attired in true cowboy style.
decked out with revolver, knife, CART
ridge belt aud lasso, may not perhaps
succeed in carrying off first honorS, but
will certainly be among the most
picturesque figures at the Inauguration.

LARRABtE ON The RACK.
The Executive OF Iowa on Trial
for Criminal Libel.

Special TO the Globe.
DEs MONIES. To-, Feb. 21.-An i'm
mense crowd attended Judge COnrad's
court this morning to hear the trial of
the criminal libel suit again Gov. Lar
rabee. The governor, attended by
Private Secretary H0ssfeld and Clerk
Brlstow. came in about 10 O'Clock and
remained about an hour, then quietly
withdrew. The forenoon was spent i'm
panelling jury, which was completed
at noon and the jury sworn. The court
at first refused to allow the governors
attorney to ask the jurors whether they
were acquainted with the law concern
ing libel. but recOnsidered it and re-
versed his opinion. This question arose
from the fact that Iowa law makes the
Jury the Judge of both the law and the
facts in libel eases. The testimony
began at 2 o'clock this afternoon. A.
FL. Denman was the first witness
and was still on the stand when court
adjourned at 5 o'clock. The governors,
counsel admitted the printing, publica-
ton and circulation of the alleged libel
Gus matter, and Mr.. Denman's testi-
mony simply related his appearance be-
fore the governor at various times in
behalf of pardon for Chester Turrey,
and the manner in which he was
treated. The governors manner was,
at different times, such as to confirm
witness in the belief that Gov. Larratee
entertained malace against both the hoy
and his mother for the annoyance they
were causing him about the pardon.
Witness had asked the governor not to
circulate the libelouS matter contained
in the pamphlet, and informed him that

The Eloquent Brooklyn Divine
Gives Tariff Reformers Some


CHICAGO. Feb. 21.-At the tariff re-

j, Brine, of the Chicago board of trade,
spoke at length upon the influence of
restriction by foreign and domestic leg
islation upon the agricultural interests
of the country. He emphasized the i'm
portance of foreign outlets, and, allud-
ing to the embargo placed upon meat
products by various European govern
ments, said that this country could not

nolicy as long as it's own doors were
closed to them. Should Great Britain
adapt the policy of protection by way of
retaliation the farmers of this country

the permanent committee on organize
ton and propaganda: Horace White. of
the New York Evening Post; Hon.
David A. Wells. Connecticut; ex-Gov.
~. Sterling Morton, Nebraska; Hon.
Eugene Wilson, Of Minnesota; J. S. Nc
Weigh. Illinois; Hon. j.. Q. Smith, Ohio;

diana. This committee was instructed
ito issue literature specially addressed to
farmers upon the tariff question, and
to give it the widest circulation in the
agricultural districts, and was also
authorized to call another convention at
its discretion. Mrs. Marion Todd, of
Michigan, representing the Women's
Reform league, spoke briefly. She de-
neunced Senator Sherman's position
on the Chinese question and his ad-
yocacy of the bill for. encouraging
emigration, and said that. although he
did not get what he -wanted-the presi-
dency-the people had just about as
good one now. Rev. Hugh D. Pente-
cost, of Brooklyn, who was the conclud-
ing speaker, made the most eloquent adj
dress of the entire convention. He said
that although the single tax reformers
are free and had not had things alto
gether their own way, they would re-
turn home without heart burnings and
ready to work hand in hand with the
revenue reformers to down the devil of
protection. The tariff, he said, was but
a Superstition "a fetch. In Olden
times, when a man defied fetch and
was not Instantly struck dead, it was
taken as an indication that its power
had gone. Grover Cleveland had bowed
down in a measure to the fetch of pro-
lection when he said that we must re-
tain sole portions of the protective tariff.
