OUAY'S BIG JOB.

1t promises to be good season in

figures by five, in order to carry through

over the heads of the better portion.
He finds that it is to be harder job
than he had anticipated. The protests
of honest Republicans are taking
the shape of Insurrection, sometime S
open, but more frequently to be shown
in quiet Democratic ballots. Quay re-
lies upon the Doodle methods, padded
with the fat fried out of the beneficial
ries of the tariff. PowDERLY is
sauarely antagonistic. and puts his
view in this way:
land now, with the close OF the nine
teenth century, a man whose hand never
held seepter is able to dictate to the
American congress what it shall do. A
few days ago convention was held,
and through the influence Of Boss
QUAY favorite son of the Standard
Oil company, one of the giant monopo-
lies of the world, was nominated for
governor, and the will of the thousands
of voters of the state will thus be set
aside. So much for another uncroWned
king of Pennsylvania. In comparison
with the power of the Standard Oil
company, the king of England is baby,
and that corporation is a menace to

CENSUS POLITICS.

The impression that congress will not
adjourn till September is put in connec-
ton with the statement of PORTER that
he expects to give out pretty close es-
innate of the population of the states in
August. 1t has been the current Re-
publican theory. often put in the form
of a boast, that the census would shift
the figures from Democratic to Republi
can states in way to help out the party
materially. This may not be so evident,
in view of the remarkable growth of
several of the Southwestern states. In
the North the states that will show the
larger ratio of growth are Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Nebraska. Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Colorado and Kansas. This
state will pretty nearly double the
100000 of 1880. All of these
states will gain congressman. The
Dakotas have been awarded theirs.
The haste in producing the census fig
ures is taken as indicating conditional
purpose to electt the next congress under
the new census. This would be all un-
usual procedure, and confession of des
perate party needs; but in view of the
election bill that calls for no confession.
In this event, the additional members
would be elected on general ticket,
the legislatures not converting. But
the Republican party is not in a condi-
ton in Minnesota, Michigan, Kansas.
Nebraska, or even the Dakotas, to take
on more loads. 1t will be rare fortune
if it does not lose several Of them. The
Boston Traveller indicates the way the
matter is being revoived in the minds of
the leaders. 1t says: "Should congress
remain in session until September, it
would, of course, be possible to make a
reapportionment in time for the Fifty
second congress to be elected upon the
new basis, and it would very likely &c
in the interest of the Republican party
to make this reapportionment; but it
has not been customary to touch this
question SO early, and to force such a
measure through at the present time
would indicate too much of fear on
the part of the Republicans of being
unable to secure the next house on the
present basis.'' No doubt about the
fear, but the change will not be made.

Yet he lived to see himself almost for

commander of corps during the

afterwards permitted to drop into
obscurity and almost to die from starva-
ton when some kind friends personally
interested themselves in his behalf, and
by hard labor finally induced congress

MERRIANrS HOODOO.

The fight is fairly on between the
MERRIAM and anti-MERRIAM forces in
their struggle to capture the Republican
state convention. Or, to put the issue
more squarely, the fight is on between
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern railways for control of the Re-
publican machine as means for con-
trolling the state government. Gov.
MERRIAM realizes by this time that the
bolt of the Hennepin county Republicans
had a more substantial basis than the
prejudice arising from the census
troubles. If there had been no census
racket the attitude of tine Hennepin
county delegates would have been the
same that it now is, an unyielding and
uncompromising opposition to GOV.
MERRIAM's denomination, unless he
made all the concessions to the wheat
ring that were exacted of him. The
probabilities are that those concessions
will yet be made, and possibly it has
been done by this time.
In the meantime. however, new
complication has arisen which is more
perpleXing to the governor, than even
the Hennepin county opposition. In
casting around for leader the Henne-
pin county bosses lighted on KNUTE
NELSON, and to the surprise of even
his most intimate friends the little Nor
wegian responded to the call for his
services with the utmost alacrity. AS
now developed, Mr.. NELSON'S readiness
is explained by the fact that he was al
| ready in training for the gubernatorlai
nomination and was in the hands Of an
other groom. For some time past Gov.
MERRIAM's personal and business asso-
Citations with the head officials of the
| Northern Pacific line have been of such
an intimate nature as to excite the envy
and suspicion of rival lines. AS a
prominent Republican, who has been
accustomed to an insight into machine
methods, explains to the GLOBE in
an interview: 1.-THE railway cor
porations were being we'll enough
served by the governor in gen.
eral way, but when there was a
chance for special Iayoritism the
| Northern Pacific was sure to be the
beneficiary" Gov. MERRIAM will prob
| ably be able to square himself with the
wheat ring, but it will be more perpleX-
| ing to straighten out this railway brOil.
| With NELSON'S popularity III the north
ern part of the state and BRADEN' S
| strength in the southwest, the rival of
the Northern Pacific may yet be able to
make the campaign interesting for the

THE CYCLONE.

Although there is mourning in st.
Paul homes this morning, the people OF
this city have reason to. be grateful to
Almighty God for our narrow escape
from the cyclones fury. All day yes
terday the weather gave premonitlon OF
coming storm. The conditions were
favorable to cyclone disturbance, and
when, about o'clock in the afternoon,
dark clouds loomed up in the western
horizon, there was more or less appre-
hension that the city would be visited
by destructive storm. A measure OF
relief was experienced when the first
rain storm gathered and passed to the
northeast of the city. Within less than
half an hour afterward those whose
eyes were still anxiously turned toward
the heavens were horror-stricken by the
appearance of the funnel-shaped mon
ster which swept along on its path of
destruction just beyond the city limits,
but which, fortunately, with the true
instinct of a cyclone, kept on north
easterly course.
If the city had lain within the path
way of the storm, Imagination can
scarcely picture the destruction that
would have followed. There should be
no limit to our gratitude that proyi-
dental hand led it away from US.
The deepest sympathy is extended to
the stricken families who mourn over
the beloved dead that fell victims to the
storm kings rage. Our sense of graft
tude that we escaped like terrible
fate does not render us upmindful of
our duty to the dead and to the wound
ed survivors Of this horrible calamity.
The old notion that there is such a
thing as cyclone belt has been dis
PEELED within the last two or three
years. The rayageS of the storm fiend
in all sections of the country, and in
sections where his presence Was never
known before, have set at rest forever
the theory that the cyclone is limited to
a certain area. We had congratulate
ourselves here in st. Paul that we
were north of this belt, until
three years ago a cyclone struck
st. Cloud and Sank Rapids. Since that
time we have been taking chances on it
along with all of the Eastern and Saith
ern cities. Now that we have been
grazed by cyclone. we have one COM
forting reflection in the accepted theory
that a cyclone. like lightning. never
strikes twice III the same place. There
is no record of any American city hav-
ing been visited second time by cy-
clone or tornado. We have had our cy-
clone, just far enough away to escape
destruction, yet just close enough to ex-
empt US from future visits. Surely
God is good to the st. Paul people.

SOUTH DAKOTA TICKETS.

The Democrats some weeks ago nom
mated their state ticket in South Da-
kota, with candidates for congress, and
their selections were such as to elicit
compliments from the Republicans,
more candid from the fact that they
did not think the election of the ticket
possible. The past week the independ-
entS have held large convention and
put up ticket that is calculated to
develop considerable enthusiasm with
the alliance and labor elements. The
and the Sioux Falls Press finds gen
eral qualification among Republicans"
that "the demagogues have cut loose
and decided to flop by themselves"
The Republican convention will not be
held till August 81, so that it
can not be estimated just yet
as to the relative strength of
the parties. There are. about $4,000
votes to be divided between the three
parties, OF four if the Prohibitionists
30 alone. 1t can hardly be presumed
from the present outlook that the in
dependents will have less than $4,000
votes, and they are confident of some
thousands more. They expect the al
most solid vote of 7OG alliances, the
labor vote of the towns and a good por-
ton of the Prohibtionists. The Re
publicans will furnish more than three
fourths of the independent vote and
lose largely of the Republican element
opposed to the iron-clad prohibition
law. The Democrats will gain from
this source, and may reasonably hope
to swell their figures above $4,000. The
chief advantages of the Republicans
will be in organization, money and
newspapers. Still, the canvass is not
developed sufficiently for very definite
observations.

AN ANGLOMANIAC INDEED.

She was all Anglomaniac,
And he-his name was Zekle;
She always called a Dag a sack,
Molasses she considered treacle.
No matter how the talk might drift,
Some subtle power did bewitch her
To call an elevator lift
And change to jug harmless pitcher.
Canned goods were ''tinned provisions. coal
Was Goals; and what she called basin
Was kept for table use-a bowl
Not what poor Zekle washed his face in.
And how she said, Just fancy!" Oh,
Twas sad such words should come so
handy.
And every moment, "don't you know?"
She munched her Sweets" what we call
candy.
No matter in what way she allied,
She ne'er was sick, but always sill"
Her notes were posted never mailed,
And postals remained post cards still.
An oyercoat was great coat, and
A cracker was considered biscuit,
"Oh, nivi'' thought Zekle. 'tOh. my landf
Shall propose TO her and risk it?''
She was an Anglomaniac,.
But when he asked her it she would
Accept him as he was-Good LACK
She Flushed and said she-guessed-she
