LONDON, July 3.-The conduct of the
staff of telegraph clerks in the general
office in London in answering the call
for cheers for the queen and Postmaster
General Raikes with groans on the oe-
casion of the postal jubilee at South
Kensington yesterday, has greatly en-
ragged Mr.. Raikes and will doubtless
hasten a settlement of the difference
now existing between sthe telegraphers
and the postoffice department, through
strike or the resignation of Mr.. Raikes.
The matter is the topic of wide discussion
and the general opinion. is that if the
queen has been publicly insulted Mr..
Raikes is responsible for it. 1t appears
that as the finale of the jubilee it was
arranged, by connection of the wires,
that there should be simultaneous
cheer for the queen in every telegraph
station throughout the kingdom. Two
thousand people were waiting in the
general office to hear the manifestation
of loyalty to their sovereign to which
the telegrapherS were expected to give
vent when the signal should be given.
The signal was flashed over the wires,
and the assembled BritOnS were Mortified
when there burst forth from the Threats
of the general staff hOarSe groan
whose depth was not relieved by a
single cheer. Scarcely had the groan
ceased when another and deeper one
followed as an expression of the feel
ing entertained by the clerks toward
MIR. Raikes. To-day the postmaster
general ordered that the clerks sign an
apology for their conduct, and the de-
nand was promptly. and unqualifiedly
refused by the spokesman of the clerks
declaring that the men did not feel
that they had done anything for which
they should apologize, but on the con-
traIy would repeat their manifestation,
SO tar as Mr.. Raikes was concerned, in
similar circumstances.

THEY LACK THE SAND.

1t is probable that Senator RANSOM
was fully advised when he stated that
the election bill would assuredly pass the
senate if not defeated in the house. No
Republican senator had the independ-
ence to stand in opposition to caucus
measure of the party. 1t must be gall
ing to some of them who have convic-
tions in the way. Yet the tyranny of
the party machine makes slaves of
them. Congressman BUTTERwORrH is
credited with this utterance recently:
eff were about to be gathered to my
fathers, and if l were allowed the priv
ilege of expressing one final wish tor
the welfare of my country. one wish
that would be gratifed. should ask
that for just one year-just one session
members Of congress should be en-
abled and permitted to honestly express
their Thoughts and feelings on the floor
of the house, and to honestly vote ac-
cording to their best judgment"
A prominent Republican paper pub
fishes this and pronounces MI. BUTTER
WORTH an ass for presuming that Re-
publican could vote anything but The
DEGREES of the party caucus. His sug
| geStion of the long-eared animal is
| rather due to his servile submission to
the party lash after he had furious
kicking episode. 1t is unfortunate for
any Republican in congress to have
strong convictions upon public ques-
tons and conscience. He should be-
lieve in the party as the chief end.
| Whatever its leaders decided to be for
its good and calculated to perpetuate its
control, should be the first article of his
faith. In &c neral way man in be-
coming the candidate ola party assumes
an obligation to support its principles
as defined in his party platform. If he
finds that he has misinterpreted their
| character and disagrees with the formu-
lated measures covering the central
issues, the example of the British min
istry. when beaten on its propositions. is
a good one. But this is not case Of
that sort. Had the Republicans made
this election measure part of their
platform, it's defeat would have been
certain, 1t was not then formulated.
and there is no other reason that the
| BUTTERwoRTHS should vote for it than

rayEs rHE NORTH

A Milwaukee paper is under tie i'm
preston that about all the Louisiana
lottery tickets are sold in the South, and
it will make little difference to this sec
ton whether the institution goes on
gathering i'll its millions or not. The
negroes about New Orleans are no
doubt the most numerous patrons in
any community; but it has been given
out by the lottery company that less
than 3 per cent of the receipts of the
company are from Louisiana. 1t has
been one of the arguments used in the
local contest there for continuance that
it was a machine for assessing the
North to meet the expenses of their
state government 1t is undoubtedly
true that the confiding investors in the
lottery tickets are more numerous in
the North than the South, and espe
cially the cities of the West. Could the
Milwaukee paper gather the figures it
would find that the regular month
ly contributors to the scheme in
its own city number thousands. The
dozen Or more million dollars come very
largely from lean pockets.

MAY PASS THE TITHEs BILL.
Such Is the Present Intention of
Lord Salisbury.

LONDON, July Sin the house of
commons this evening W. II. Smith the
government leader intimated that the
government intended to pass the TitheS
bill this session. Mr.. Waddy asked
whether the Anglo-German agreement,
involving thousands of miles of African
territory would be binding upon parlia-
ment before seeing the text of the
instrument. Sir James Ferguson re-
piled that the agreement had been made
in conformity with constitutional usage.
Mr.. Labouchere asked whether Eng
lands protectorate over Zanzibar was
dependent upon France agreeing to re-
lease the country from the agreement of
1862 guaranteeing the independence of
the sultan. Sir James declined to say
anything further than that COM
municatiOns were now passing
between the two governments. MIR.
Smith stated that the ceSsiOn of HeligO-
land would be subject to the assent of
parliament. Sic James FERGUSON de-
clined to answer any question in regard
to British naval officers i'm Newfonnd-
land having interfered with the lobster
fisheries, seeing that legal proceedings
have been taken against them. Naval
officers, he said, had general instruc-
tons to prevent British fishermen from
interfering with the free enjoyment OF
the rights of the French fishermen.
These instructions were framed in pur-
Suance to treaty obligations.

WITHOUT PRINCIPLE.

TO the Editor of the Globe.
The GLOBE is usually so fair in its discus
sions Of public matters l was really surprised
to see in your columns this statement: The
Republican party is party without pr1ncl-
ples' Isn't this an instance where you have
allowed your partisan zeal to outstrip your
usual conservative method OF stating facts?
Isn't protection principle? Isn't the stand
taken by the Republican party i'll opposition
10 free silver coinage founded on principle?
srhey may not be principles that you can ap-
prove, nevertheless they are principles which
constitute the initial elements OF Republi-
canism A. REPUBLICAN,.
Faribault July 2.
1t was not in fit of partisan ZEAL as
our Faribault correspondent imagines.
the GLOBE made the assertion that the
Republican party. as it now exists, is
utterly without principles. That is our
honest conviction and deliberate judg-
ment after careful inquiry into the
Republican policy.
The Republican party of to-day has
not a principle of government among
its possessions. Making tariffs for a
small class and making them as high as
the traffic will bear is not principle,
nor even the imitation of one. 1t is
greed.
Contracting the circulation for the eX-
elusive benefit of Wall street is not a
principle. That is seltishness; nay
more, it is robbery of the many for the
emolument of the few.
We admit that the protective tariff
and mono-metallism contribute the vital
elements of Republicanism. No man
can be an honest Republican who is not
the advocate of both.
The Republican party is party of
tariffites and Notwithstanding more
or nothing less. The main purpose of
its existence as a distinct political Or
ganization is to effect a Capitalization
of power i'll the federal head for the
benefit of the tariffites and the gold
bugs.
A party without principles must es-
tablish tyranny of discipline in order
to preserve its existence. Hence the
domination of the cabal in caucus and
the disposition to restrict free speech
and to crush out local freedom in cleo
tions. The autocracy of Speaker REED
and the passage of the federal election
bill are part and parcel of the general
plan mapped out by the Republican
party to establish the reign of the tariff
ties and the goldbugs. Given the power
TO control the elections and to name the
congressman, the discipline will be
nearly air tight.

PURIFYING POLITICS.

The Minneapolis Times talks wisdom
when it says: "What is wanted at this
time is powerful and active sentiment
against political corruption
This is trite saying, but worthy of
all acceptation.
There is sentiment against political
corruption. but, unfortunately, it is not
an active one. If it were active it
would be powerful.
When asked for their views on the
subject nine citizens out of every ten
will admit the existence of political cor
ruption and will deplore it. Yet they
make no organized effort to remedy the
evil. On the principle of what is every
body's business is nobody's, no attempt
is made to care the evil. The better
classes are averse to descending into
the dirty pool of politics. and thus the
corrupt bosses are permitted to retain
their hold on the party machinery.
The masses must be educated out of
this indifference. They must be awak-
ened to consciousness of the danger
which threatens our Institutions. The
press and the pulpit ought to be the

BerIinePS Extend q Warm We'll
come to Americans.
BERLIN, July Sat 1890 this after
noon the New York Shooting corps,
Capt. George Wehrenberg; the New
York Central Shooting corps, Capt.
George Sieburg, and the New
York City Shooting corps, Capt.
John E. Meyer. entered Krolls
garten with flags and banners flying,
and bands playing martial airs. Ac-
companying the three corps were marks
men from various parts of the United
States. AT :25 the members of the In
dependent New York shooting corps
arrived on the ground. When all the
visiting ri1emen had been formed
Schreiner formally welcomed them
in behalf of the municipal
council of Berlin. Consul Schontag
then addressed the visitors, dwelling
upon the friendship existing between
Germany and the United States. In
conclusion, he called for three cheers
for the two countries. Head Master
Birkner next welcomed the rifiemen on
behalf of the festival committee. and
when he had concluded his remarks the
visitors and their entertainers partook
of luncheon. After the repast the
Americans formed in line and marched
by way of Inter der Linden to the town
hall. The famous avenue was hand
somely decorated in honor of the Occa-
sion, and thousands of spectators gave
the visitors hearty welcome. Upon
arriving at the town hall the standard
bearer of the party bore the banner into
the reception room, where he was
followed by the whole body of rife
men. Here Chief Burgomaster Forck
enbeck was waiting to receive his yiSi-
tors. In welcoming them on behalf of
the town Herr Forckenbeck referred to
the exertionS made by the Americans to
attend the rifle competition, and ex-
pressed hope that the festival would
terminate happily. He dllated upon
the ties that bind America and Germany.
The two countries. he said, are united
in their Efforts to maintain peace,
and he hoped that active intercourse
between the two peoples would develop
further for the promotion of civiliza-
ton. He trusted that the Americans
would carry away friendly recollections
of their visit. Hermann W eber replied
at some length, thanking the municipal
authorities for their reception and
dwelling upon the intimate relations of
German-AmericanS with their mother
country. He concluded by proposing
cheers for Burgomaster FOrckenbeck.
The flags carried by the Americans
were deposited in the town hall, where
they will remain during the festival.

are too often subsidized into silence.
