NEW STATE Politics.

Now that they are about through with
constitution making, the four new
states are taking whirl at politics.
The political leaders are laying plans to
capture the offices that have been ere
ated by the new constitutions, and the
promise is for exciting times in the
Northwest for the next few weeks.
Fortunately for the farmers. they are
through with their harvesting, and, being
in jubilant frame of mind over the
crop yield, can listen more patiently to
the voice of the officeseeker than they
might otherwise have done. The indi-
cations so far are that politics in the
new states will not differ materially
from what it is in the older men,
bers of the Union. The professional
politician holds the inside track, with
the prospect that the farmers, who con-
stitute the bulk of the voting popula-
ton, will have to be content with pick
ing up crumbs that fall from their
masters tables. The different clioues
have already parceled out the Offices
among themselves, and the nominating
conventions will only be scramble
among the various cliques for mastery
of the situation. So far the various
81 ates or combinations that have been
made by the Republicans in the new
states that are claimed as reliably Re-
publican are largely constituted of the
adventurous classes who went into the

ELECTRIC EXPERIMENT.

The resolution submitted to council
last night by Bishop IRELAND and Mr..
COCHRAN, proposing to grant to the
street railway company the right to ex-
pertinent in the use of electric power on
the two lines mentioned in the resolu-
ton, was doubtless offered by those
gentlemen in the utmost sincerity and
good faith. In addition to their high
standing as citizens of the community,
the fact that they had already offered
large bonus to the street railway COM
pany to build one or both of the pro-
posed lines is the evidence of their sin
cerity and OF their earnest desire to have
the experiment made. Yet the resolu-
ton merits the careful consideration of
council before being adopted. On its
face it appears to be perfectly fair
proposition in response to Col. BARR'S
recent appeal to the city authorities to
test the electric motor service before
adopting it so extensively as is proposed
by the pending ordinance. But by
careful reading of the resolution it will
be discovered that it is not altogether
such an innocent document as it
appears to be at the first blush.
Ii it proposed to give the street
railway company the right to ex-
pertinent with the electric motor only
on streets where the tracks are already
laid, then different phase would be
put on it. But by extending this right
to new lines the city council would
virtually commit itself to policy en-
tirely at variance with the policy out
lined in the ordinance relating to the
subject of electric motor lines now
pending before the council. In other
words, it would be concession of all
that Mr.. LOWRY has asked and-a recog-
milton of his claim respecting the ex-
clusivenesS of his franchise. There is
no necessity for experimenting with
electric motors. All the experimenting
that is necessary, and that is possible to
be made here, has been done elsewhere.
If the electric motor has been a success
i'll other cities it will be success here.
If it has been a failure elsewhere, it
will be failure here. That is the long
and the short of it. The council ought to
possess sufficient intelligence to de-
termine whether or not the numerous
experiments that have been made with
electric motors i'll dozen or more cities
have been success or not, without
wasting valuable time in experimental
projects. There is pretty unanimous
opinion outside of the council chamber
that the electric motor is success, and
that the ordinance which the council
has so long been dallylng with contains
all the provisions that are necessary to
put the electric motor lines into opera

IOWANS ADMIT 1T.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette says that
the platform of the Iowa Republicans
comedies that protection has in some
cases fostered trusts and trade conspir-
acies," and that it is about the only
Iowa Republican paper that has de-
nounced such protection. 1t alludes to
the usual party delivery Oh the subject,
like those in Pennsylvania and Ohio of
late, as the old gags" 1t is gratifying
to note this evidence of advance in
portion OF the Republican forces, and
no imputations of inconsistency will be
introduced. But the Gazette eXcites
alarm for its party loyalty when it goes
on further to throw down the glove to
Mr.. BLAINE, and assure him that even
if he does regard trusts as largely pri-
vate affairs, with which the public have
nothing to do or say" he will " find out
that the public do have something to
say about them" Great educators are
the trusts

Special to the GLOBE
SALTWATER, Aug. 2O.-The very Sc
we're electric storm that broke over the
city soon after midnight was the most
violent that has visited the valley for
years, and resulted in considerable
damage in the city and vicinity. Three
valuable horses belonging to Hon. John
B. Taft were killed by lightning, while
in the pasture, each horse killed being
one out of MIR. Tafts three double
teams. The dwellings of Herman Luh-
man on Harriet street: A. Mcdonald,
Wilken street, and Prison Guard Gold
smith, Elm street, were struck and
somewhat damaged, especially Mr.. Nc
Donald's house. A barn owned by man
named Hammond, neighbor of Nc
Donald, was also struck. In no case
was building fired by the electric cur
rent, nor was any person injured,
though at McDonald's the lightning
came near enough to the servant girl in
bed to give her a severe shock. In the
village of Houlton, opposite the city,
the house of Frenchman, whose name
is not known, was struck and the in
mates shocked. Early in the progress
of the storm the line of the Saltwater
Electric Light company was struck
and disabled. eXtinguiShing every
street light in the city for the remain
der of the night. Some of the streets
were badly washed as result of the
very heavy rain, the greatest damage
being on Pine, Sixth and Everett, where
grading is in progress.

THE STATE FAIR.

1t is, perhaps, well enough for us here
in ST. Paul to wake up to the fact that
the time for holding the state fair is
near at hand, and that we have a duty
to perform in the way of contributing
to its success. The management have
been working faithfully and success
fully in arranging for the exhibit, and
the prospects are that we are to have
this year the best fair of the whole Sc
rieS. President BUSHNELL and Secre-
tary DENNY, with the aid of their corps
of capable assistants, have worked up
an interest among the farmers of the
state exceeding anything known in past
seasons. The whole state has been
thoroughly canvaSsed. and, in addition
to securing a fine exhibit, they have
succeeded in establishing bureau of
information in connection with the fair
that promises to be of great value.
The purpose is to bring and
keep the Institution within the
legitimate scope of an agricultural fair,
and thus the managers have succeeded
in enlisting the active sympathy and CO.
operation Of all the farmers of the state,
who realize that the fair is to be a per-
manent benefit to them. There will be
: an unusually fine display of live stock
and farm products. Special attention
will be given to the dairy interests, to
domestic manufactures, to the poultry
display, and. in fact, to everything in
which farmer or farmers wife is in
the least interested. Nor will the es-
thetic features of the exhibition be over
looked. The art gallery display is to he
unusually attractive, the merchants of
space for a display of their goods and
wares, and every department will be
under the superintendent of most ca
pable persons. The sporting and amuse-
ment features of the exhibition are to
be on par with everything else. The
entries that have been made are guar
antee of the finest racing, and the
various amusements that have been
billed are an assurance that there will
be no lack of entertainment.
The farmers of the Northwest are in
good heart just at this time, on account
of their splendid crops, and they are
in the humor to boom the state fair.
They are coming up to HamlIne In
great crowds, and we want to be ready
to give them the welcome and the ell
tertainment they have right to expect
of US. More than that, we want TO dem
onstrate to them that we are equally in
terested with them in making this years
fair grand success, and can best do
that by laying our hands to the work
and helping the managers along. The
fair is state institution. it is true, yet
the business men of st. Paul and Min
neapolis have, or ought to have, a pecul-
lar local pride in it, and the success of
each years exhibit largely depends
upon the local support given to it. In
speaking thus to the business men of
the Twin Cities, we are not talking for
effect. We do not want you to be con-
tent with giving tacit Endorsement to
all we are saying, and then forgetting
all about it until you are again remind
edof your duty. Be up and go at it as if
you felt the weight of a heavy response
bility resting upon your shoulders.
Display your faith by your works.

A great surprise in social circles to-
day was the double marriage of the
Misses Enderlein, sisters, who are Wi
mona girls and very highly regarded.
being considered among the most at
tractive young ladies in the city. Miss
Alga welded Col. Alfred Brooks, a
popular young business man, who has
been for seven years manager of the j.
l.. Brink estate dry goods store. The
other sister, Miss Betty, married John
w. LudWich, travelling salesman for
New York dry goods house. The cere-
mony was performed at 4 p. m. at the
brides residence, Rev. Alfred Cressy
officiating. Many beautiful presents
testified to the esteem in which the
young people are held Col. and Mrs.
Brooks left for trip to Chicago. and
Mr.. and Mrs. Ludwich go to New York.
The city council by a unanimous vote
killed the proposed electric street rail-
way ordinance. The railway people say
they will not submit another ordinance
nor make any further efforts in this di-
rection.
The court house dedication committee
held meeting in the board of trade
rooms and decided to have grand gala
day OH Sept 16, when the court house
will be dedicated. The city will be dec
Grated from one end to the other, state

as well as civic, military and secret

j. A. Tawney secretary. Subcommittee
we're appointed for various purposes.

JUDICIAL GOODNESS.

Judge FIELDS California episode has
started the Washington society gossips
to talking about tie strained relations
between Judge FIELD and Chief Justice
FULLER. 1t is said that Judge FIELD
had his heart set on the chief justice
ship, and when he was passed by and
plain Lawyer FULLER, of Chicago, was
selected, he was so piqued by the dis
appointment he actually behaved rIdely
toward President CLEVELAND, and has
ever since made it point to show his
contempt for the chief justice. 1t is an
open secret in Washington that Chief
Justice FULLER reciprocates the cool
ness on the part of Justice FIELD, and
takes no pains to conceal his dislike for
his venerable associate on the bench.
Judge FIELD has passed the age which
entities him to retire on pay, and the
Supposition is that the recent tragic Oc-
currence in California will hasten his
retirement from the bench, in which
event the already too large Republican
majority on the bench will be in
creased,

territories for the purpose of making
Office-seekirg their business. While it
is possible that the stable element,
being so largely in the majority, may
assert its power and overthrow all these
combinations, and put state tickets in
the field composed exclusively of the
best representative citizens, still there
is not much probability that the control
of the nominating conventions can be
wrested from the professional pollti-
cians The chances for real good
ticket arc better in Montana than in the
other new states, because of the more
equal division of political power. Each
party there is put on its good behavior,
and the nomination Of strong state
ticket becomes positive party neces-
sity. 1t would be fortunate for the other
new states if party strength could be
more evenly divided, for in that event
the show, for good start in statehood
would be much improved over the eX-
listing conditions.

ing would please him better than to see
the prisoner liberated by Home Secre-
tary. Matthews. He denied that he
had placed the girl Yapp in his broth

best of terms with the prisoner, and
did not think during the trial she
would be convicted. He did not think
the prosecution desired conviction. So
confident was he of her acquittal that
he had packed up his clothes in readi-
ness TO catch the first train for London

hours last night three inches of rain
fell here. A great granite conduit had
been built up First avenue west to
Sixth street to carry down the waters of
Clark house creek. IL proved wholly
inadequate to do the work, a cross dam
at the head of First avenue con-
duit diverting the waters into
a sewer about 200 feet above
the lake level. The dam burst and the
lower 200 feet, choked with sand and
stones, likewise went. The damage is
fully $4,000. The Herald office was
flooded and damaged $500 worth. In the
vicinity of O'Brien q KnowltOn's block
the loss is $1,000. Freimuth's Metro
politan dry goods store is the heaviest
loser. His loss will amount to fully
$4,000. Simon, Clark Il Co.. grOcers,
loss $4,000; Smiths spice store, $1,000;
