LACK OF HARMONY.

The MERRIAM machine, which has
been in excellent working order during
this political harvest, had its first break
down in the Hennepin county prima-
ries Saturday evening. The machine
was thrown out of gear, and possibly
some of the cogs were broken; but the
engineer and machinist hope to have
it repaired to-day. So far as the final
result Of the state convention is con-
cerned, the Hennepin county accident
will hardly change the programme that
was mapped out in the beginning, ex-
cept that it may inject an element of
discord and be productive of bad blood
in the convention which had not been
arranged for in the original schedule.
Nearly one-half Of the delegates to the
Republican state convention have been
chosen, and fully tWo-thirdS of these
are out-and- out MERRIAM men. It will
require no great effort on the part of
the governor to corral enough out of
the members yet to be chosen to give
him good working majority in the
convention.
Still, the action of the Hennepin
county Republicans in eiecting de-
cided anti-MERRIAM delegation gives
another phase to the political situation
from what it bore few weeks ago. 1t
makes no difference about the cause Of
this opposition, so long as the fact re-
mains that it is powerful and terribly in
earnest. Gov. MERRIAM will still be
able to renominate himself; yet this
fierce antagonism must be a source Of
infinite annoyance and uneasiness to
him. He is not going to have the har-
moniOus convention he calculated On.
He is going to be renominated against
the protest of respectable and power
full minority, which must initiate
against hun i'll the canvass that will fol
low the convention.
For man who has to depend on the
strength of his party majority to pull
him through, the outlook is not a bit
encouraging to Gov. MERRIAM, even
with the assurance of his denomination.
With factional division and insubordi-
nation in his own ranks, and the alliance
forces and the PrOhibitionists attack
Ing his TANKS and rear, while the DEM
ocrats are moving on him in solid col
umn from the front, it will require ex-
traordfnary generalship to extricate his
army and to gain victory. As Gen.
GRANT once said of BEN BUTLER S
military operations OH the James: sit
looks as if he had got himself into a
BOTTLE"

the Republicans, deluded by professions
that are now proving to be SO insiucere
that formidable revolt must ensue.
The most recent evidence of this is in
Iowa. The Republican convention made
platform that left foothold for the
Liberals, and didn't stand for the '.set-
tied policy" with the spinal rigidity of
former years. 1t is so unsatisfactory
to the prohibition element that bolt is
being inaugnrated. A convention has
been called for the 4th of September,
andi is proposed to nominate full state
ticket and put candidates for congress
i'll the field in each district. One of
them has already made its nomination.
Their declaration was rejected in the
convention in favor of Straddle, and
they will now draw out of the party
those who are honest and earnest in the
work. In North Dakota there will be a
great struggle i'll the Republican party,
and if the Prohibitionists ale beaten
they will very largely go to the third
party. The most serious drawback the
PrOhibitioniSts have had has been in
the partially successful effort of the
practical Republicans to persuade the
radical men of the party that high
license is practical temperance meas
ure, and as near prohibition as is posi-
bic in most OF the states. This has kept
vast number in the party who want
prohibition. Figures are being pro-
duced in evidence that this is delusion,
and that there is no reduction of the
evils of the traffic. The Prohibition
lists will notdo much electing this year,
but they will make larger show in the
ballot than for some years.

ENTERTAINING OUR GUESTS.

There will be. anywhere from 10000
to 10000 strangers within our gates dur
ing this week. 1t is estimated that
there will be $4,000 teachers in attend
ance, and including those who have
taken advantage of the cheap rates to
visit this city there will probably be
fully 10000 visitors in ST. Paul during
the week. All of these people are to be
entertained, and it is incumbent upon
our citizens to see that all have COM
Portable accommodations.
The hotels and boarding houses are,
OF will be by tonight. full to overflow
ing. Quite large number of our citi-
zens have opened their homes to our
guests. and will entertain as many of
them as they have spare room for. Still,
there will be lack of accommodation
unless citizens who have not yet re-
sponded to the call of the committee
signify their willingness to help enter
tain these visitors. Unfortunately,
great many ST. Paul families are at the
lakes and other resorts, and their houses
are closed. In some instances even
those who are away have generously
placed their homes at the disposal of the
entertainment committee, and will per-
nit visitors to be lodged there. But in
most cases those whose homes are closed
prefer to keep them closed rather than
have them occupied by strangers with
out some member of the family being in
charge of the establishment.
Hence the duty of entertaining these
10000 guests devolveS mainly upon
those who are at home. There are a
great many persons who have spare
room or two, and are perhaps willing to
entertain, who have not been called
upon by the committee, and consequent
ly have given the ma ter no attention.
If there are any who have not been
solicited and are willing to entertain
one or more of the guests, they will per-
form an important public service by
communicating their willingness, either
in person or by postal card, to the chair
man of the entertainment committee, at
the headquarters in the Endieott block.
The GLOBE makes an urgent appeal
to all of our citizens to open their homes
as we'll as their hearts to our guests,
and let US each one of us contribute our
part in making their stay in our midst
as pleasant as possible.

THE FARMER NEEDS 1T.

Some of the protection organs affect
Indignation at the impertinence of
those in high authority in England in
expressing any opinion as to the tariff
legislation of this country. 1t is as
sumed that anything that disturbs any
other country must be beneficial to this.
An act that will seriously injure an
English manufacturer must translate
his loss into benefit for this country. 1t
would seem that the aim of American
legislation should be to shatter and de-
stroy European enterprises. The re-
cent expression of concern by members
of parliament as to the new lmposts of
this country is pronounced convincing
argument in favor of the high tariff. 1t
IS not in controversy that congress
should legislate for the United States.
and not any foreign people. But it
should not be assumed that the
advantages of traffic abroad are
all with the other side. The exports of
this country last year amounted to
$3.50, 900, of which 1892, 900 were
products of agriculture. The imports
were S745, OOo,0 900. of which very little
was in competition with the produc-
