P,N-aMERICAN RAILROAD.

A gentleman living down in Virginia
by the name of PARSONS has made pub
lie plan for building Pan-American
railroad, which is said to have attracted
the attention of certain statesmen at
Washington, and is especially Endorsed
10y Secretary BLAINE. The Pan-Amer-
lean railroad idea is not a new one. for
it has been discussed through the press
for over year, and Mr.. BLAINE Sug-
geSted something like it in his first
speech to the Pan-American delegates. 1t
naturally becomes matter of inquiry.
therefore, why it is that the inner circle
at Washington are making such an ado
about the PARSONS scheme. as if it were
an original discovery, and why it is
that Mr.. PARSONS himself is being
pulled to the skies as the orig
inator of the grandest idea of the
aye. Ii takes but little investigation to
disclose the milk in the cocoanut. Mr..
PARSONS is unknown to fame in rail-
reading further than that he has been 4
very serviceable man TO Mr.. BLAINE in
some local enterprises down in the two
VlrgInias. and has posed around p0liti-
cal caueuseS as one of Mr.. BLAINE's
trusted lieutenants. 1t is far infer
ence, therefore, that the PARSONS
scheme is only another name for Pan
American railroad project That Origi-
mated in Mr.. BLAINE's fertile brain, and
which will be pushed as far as the power
of the state department can push it.
We are not disposed to find fault with
Mr.. BLAINE for giving this matter his
attention. On the contrary, we are in
Glued to approve the general idea, for
in fact the GLOBE some time ago called
the Seeretary's notice to the feasibility
of such plan, and suggested that it
was both more practical and practicable
than steamship subsidy. We do. how
ever. urge upon Mr.. BLAINE to remem-
Der his weakness when mixing up rail-
road schemes with the duties of states
manship, and not to drop into the old
d sire of not being regarded a deadhead
in such enterprises. If he is actuated
by true public spirit and proper APP
probation of the duties of his high sta
ton, there is no necessity for clOaking
the Pan-American railroad project un-
der somebody else's name. The idea is
good enough to stand on its own merits,
and it will be a feather in MIR. BLAINE
cap if he will father it. There is no
necessity for dividing honors with his
iieutenants, nor to push them TO the
front as Skirmish line to ascertain the
strength of public sentiment. The PEG
pie of this country are not only willing,
but anxious, to establish railroad COM
munication with the Central and South
American states, but they want it UNI
derstood in the beginning they will sup
port no scheme which has job in it.
This is a tip for Secretary BLAINE.

HOW IT'S WORKED.

STEVE ELKINs is credited with being
easily inspired by the state department.
Hence his elaboration of the tn cory he
assumes TO be prevalent there is taken
as more than probable. he pictures
the mind of the lingo statesman as in
state of utter placidity over the frequent
refusal of the White house to appoint
the persons selected by BLAINE for
eonsuIs and other positions in his sphere.
He is simply paying off his old political
debts; and, as HARRISON doesn't owe
the same parties, there is a cordial I'M
Outstanding that he shall use the pat
ronage belonging to him to meet his
own obligations. BLAINE pays his
workers by naming them for stations,
and lets HARRISON give his fellows all
the meat without protest. just how
that will inspire new zeal in the BLAINE
fellows is not apparent. unless they
have private assurances that preSiden-
tial obStinacy is too strong for personal
endeavor. As the chief business is TO
provide men with offices, it would APP
pear that the state department might
have time for rural recreation as well as
the president.

TIE EASTERN FARMERS.

In the Eastern states the earlier or
ganization of the grange is the expo
nent of the farmers, as the alliance is in
the West. In New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, the past week or two
these bodies have been resolving some
what. In New Hampshire, the home of
BLAIR. the cranky author of the edu-
cation bill, it is not very surprising that
his measure was Endorsed, but it is al
legged that there was trIckery in the
matter. But it has been badly WOrsted
in the popular discussion. and will have
feeble support in congress, unless made
a party measure. In Massachusetts the
grange took action upon a measure of
considerable interest in the West. 1t
resolved against the expenditure of
government money for the irrigation
of Western lands. 1t did not occur to
them that they should aid in OPEN
ing up new regions to settle
ment in the West while New
England farms We're being aban-
doned and agriculture generally was
on the down grade. They think one
trouble with them has been that there
was too much land in the West alluring
settlers to easier production. This feel
ing prevails in the Atlantic states gen.
orally and will be apt to show itself
strongly against any very extended gov
eminent aid to the irrigation projects.
There is no question that the cheaper
and better lands in the West have had a
good deal to do with the depression of
agriculture in the East. 1t is not the
only cause operative, but it has offered
q competition that could be met only on
some minor products. Still, the West
has opened up an enormous market for
the manufactures of the East. This has
been one of the chief factors in the in
dustrial wealth Of Massachusetts,. and
its factories have checked the decay of
its agriculture. The national wealth
and strength have grown at every step
taken westward. The development
will 90 on until there is no more coun-
try to be redeemed or filled westward.
The East, however, may have mort
cages on most OF it.

AGAINST a SECRET BALLOT.
Senator German Springs Politi-
cal Sensation in Maryland.

Senator German Springs a Politi-
cal Sensation in Maryland.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 30.-United States
Senator German delivered speech this
afternoon at meeting of the Demo-
cratic editors of the counties of Mary
land, that proves to be the
largest-sized political sensation to
which the public has been
treated for good while. The Demo-
cratic campaign last fail was conducted
! practically under the auspices OF the
Business Mems Democratic association.
Two weeks ago that organization
pledged itself to secure the passage by
the next legislature of the Australian
election law, which had been favored
and urged all along by the Cres-
cent club, the Reform league. the
Knights of labor, the Federation of
Labor and other political and labor Or
CARNATIONS. At the editors meeting
to-day Senator German inveighed
against the Australian system. and said
tn at it must not pass. The Democratic
party in Maryland had aIreadymade too
many concessions to the reformerS and
to the Republican party. The Austria
liam system might operate we'll enough
in Massachusetts, he said, where the
people are better educated as whole,
but was not suited to Maryland, where
there were so many uneducated people.
The tenor of his speech was most EN-
phatically against secret ballot. After
the speech had been delivered Mr.. Cor
man arose from his seat again and re-
queSted every man present. to observe
secrecy with reference TO anything that
was Said, Ur that TRANSFERRED at the meet
ing. The matter leaked out, however,
and has caused the biggest kind of a
stir tonight. The plan was to have
some county paper publish an editorial
against the Australian system and that
the Others should follow the lead.

a shortage of Sl2.O00,000. There are
other measures proposed that will use
up about SI50,0O0,OO0, so that with very

Hovey set forth that he entered the
land in good faith, but was pre-
vented from using it because OF
the failure of water company
to construct canal to the property.
The secretary reaffirms Secretary Villas
ruling Of June %, 1887, that persons
making desert land entries must acquire
a clear right to the use of sufficient
water for the purpose of irrigating tho
whole of the land, and of keeping it
permanently irrigated. A person who
makes a desert land entry before he has
secured water right does SUIT his own

OIL ON - ArERs.
How the photographic Office Has
Aided Mariners.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The pilot
chart of the North Atlantic for January,
published by the photographic Office,
navy department, commences the sew
enth year of this valuable publication.
Perhaps the most notable success that
this publication has achieved is the gen
eral attention that it has called to the
advantages of the use OF Oil to prevent
heavy seas from breaking aboard YES
sells. Although this principle IS, of
course, an old one, yet it is only within
recent years that it is come into general
use. and there can he no doubt but that
hundreds of vessels have been saved
from loss within the last few
years. The leading maritime nations
have all republished the information
supplied by the photographic Office.
Another marked success has been the
calling of public attention to the dan
gers to navigation offered by derelict
vessels and drifting wrecks at sea.
These Instructions often drift about for
more than a year. at the mercy of winds
and currents, and the pilot chart gives a
graphic record of their directions and
latest positions. 1t will be remem-
bered that one of these, an American
schooner, was wrecked Off Delaware
bay in the great blizzard, and nearly a
wear later grounded on one of the Heb
rides. off the north coast of Scotland.
The January chart contains, with many
others. the track of the schooner Ethel
Nj. Davis, abandoned off Hatteras dur
ing the November hurricane year ago,
and which now is about 400 miles
NORTH OF THE AZORES.
Among the subjects referred to edi-
torially on the January pilot chart in
addition to the forecast, the January
weather and the review of De-
cember, are ocean currents, the
use of oil, the September bur-
ricanes, December storms, obstruct-
ions along the coast, charts published
and bores in tidal rivers. Relative to
the phenomenon known as bore, it is
stated that it consists of wave that
flows up a tidal river, under certain con-
ditiops, in such way that the whole
rise of the tide takes place in few min
uteS, instead of several hours. 1t occurs
to a notable extent in the Amazon,
Hoogly and Tsien Tang, China; in GER
tain French and English rivers. in the
Congo and the Colorado. The best
known case is that of the Tsien Tang,
where the bore rushes up the river as
breaking wave from six to fifteen feet
high at a speed of over ten to thirteen
knots an hour, and its influence is felt
as far as forty miles up the river. The
photographic Office is DESTROYS of collect
ing Information regarding this phenom-
enon as ii occurs in any of the rivers in
America. or indeed. elsewhere, as the
phenomenon is by no means well known
or described.

panies.
Special TO the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, N. D.. Dec. 30.-There
are lot of wrathy wheat growers in
the Corinne neighborhood, in Stutsman
county. An exceptionally good grade
of wheat was raised there this fall.
Darcy and Hahnafordt are the COM
munity's nearest elevator points. A
farmer, George Wright a reliable man,
was in the city to-day. delegated to con-
suit with representatives as to some
legal protection, if possible, to prevent
the occurrence Of the confidence game
that he states has been played ON the
farmers OF his township by elevator
companies. He says in his own case,
that he raised 1000 bushels of fine
wheat. He hauled the first load to Car
gilPs elevator. at Darcy. 1t was graded
No. hard. lie was paid for it, and the
rest Of the crop was contracted for at
the same grade. The second load, after
delivery, was graded No. 2 northern,
the agent stating that ne had secured
Instructions to so grade 1t. Wright re-
fused to sell at that grade, and took the
wheat to Hannaford, where there is
only a small warehouse. The
first load went No. l, but the
next load was cut to No. 2. AS the
wheat came from the same field he de-
clined TO accept the second offer, and
hauled the grain back to Darcy. The
same tactics were worked there. The
second load was never as good as the
first. Wright then ordered cars, aud
had no trouble to get them promptly
from the Northern Pacific road. Before
shipping, but after the wheat was
loaded, the agent of the Northern Pa
cifie elevator company appeared on the
scene and offered Wright the price Of
No. hard for all he had and two cents
per bushel higher than the market
price. Wright refused TO have any
more to do with them. and shipped to
Duluth, making on each car some SO
over the elevator company's offer. 1t is
reported that many small farmers have
been worked the same way, frequent
complaints being made over orders to
lower one grade on all wheat for that
locality, which was done In one day.
