RAILROADS IN CHINA.

1t has been mentioned that the people
Of China were getting away from the
conservatism and superstition that put
them in the path of railway enterprise.
There are put eighty-seven miles now
in the empire, but arecent decree of the
emperor directs work to be undertaken
ON road 700 miles in length. Aside from
the absurd superstitions, there has been
an apprehension that railways would
add to the danger of invasion. This is
quite as rational as the objection in the
British parliament to the building of a
tunnel to connect with France. China
finds need of railroads for military rea-
sons, in view of the Siberian move
ments of Russia. Commercial consid-
erations and progressive spirit are
also operative. This road runs 500
miles south of Pekin to a port with
large export trade, and will be followed
by roads opening up the more I'M
portant districts to trade and the for
eigner.

PROHIBITION TICKET.

The temperance people who favor
prohibition will find no difficulty in
supporting the ticket nominated at
Market hall yesterday. 1t is composed
of clean men; and. while there is no
special ability in the makeup of the
ticket. the candidates are all fairly
representative men, who are earnest and
conscientious in the work they are per-
forming.
The platform is wordy affair, inelud-
ing pretty much all the issues of the
day, and yet it makes some telling
points. Its attack On the MCKINLEY
bill goes to show that the temperance
people have caught the drift of popular
sentiment in some things outside of
their own peculiar principles.
The spirit of tariff reform is in the
air, so that it is no surprise that
the Prohibitionists have been infected
with it,

WHY THEY DO IT.

Two women leaned over the backyard fence
(The same old fence) as the sun went down,
While each told the other, in confidence,
The scandals she'd gathered around the
town
For women must gossip, or they can't
sleep:
Their idea is that secrets weren't made to
keep;
So they lean on the fence in the gloam-
ing.
Two women sat out on the front-door stoop,
In the evening glow, as the sun went down.
They told how their children had skipped
the Group,
And they sneered at the minister's wife
new gown.
For women delight in friendly chat,
Without it their lives would be stale and
fiat
So they sit on the stoop in the cleaning.
Two husbands came home from the base ball
(From the Office, they said), as the sun went
down.
Both ready and eager to hear the same
Sweet scandals their wives had hunted
down.
For men, though they work. love gossip,
And that's why their wives seek some
thing new
As they meet and talk in the cleaning.

BECOMING DEMORALIzED.

In the debate before the Prohibition
convention in this city Tuesday night,
between Mr.. GRIFFIN, the head of the
Republican anti-saloon committee, and
Mr. MILLS, the Prohibition party man,
the latter diagnosed the political situa-
ton as peculiarly favorable for the
progress of the new party. The neces-
stiles Of his argument were subServed
in this, of course, but an impartial OBJ
server can see that the Republican party
shows very pronounced symptoms of
war in its members, as st. Paul was
wont to remark. Here is Mr.. BLAINE
with his reciprocity scheme, trying to
punch big hole in the protective policy,
and denouncing the MCKINLEY bill.
The silver men are denouncing the adj
ministration as false to the pledge of
the Chicago platform when it
said, ''Ihe Republican party is in
favor of the use of both gold
and silver as money and con-
dennis the policy of the Democratic
party in its efforts to demonetiZe silver"
The bonanza men poured out their sill
yer to elect HARRISON, and now would
do as much to defeat him. The revolt
against the dictatorship of Speaker
REED is making its way. The Southern
Republicans and the conservative ele-
ment of the party see peril in the fed
eral election scheme. Pennsylvania and
New York are kicking at the bosses, and
will put them over the breastworks or
defeat the party. In the West the farm
ers are standing up almostin a body and
demanding that they shall have their
share in the dispensations of the gov
eminent. One-half of the New Eng
land states are pulling loose from the
old party. The prohibition element in
il is seeing the bad faith dealt to it, and
very largely looking for the door. 1t is
probably true that the third party can
pick up much of the loose material.

BURKE FOR GOVERNOR.

A Cass County Republican Comes
Out Squarely.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, N. D., June 25.-Capt. A. II.
Burke. the Cass county candidate for
governor of North Dakota, in converse
ton with a reporter to-day declared him-
self as all anti-lOttery advocate, and
that he was willing to place himself
upon record as such. He further stated
that he did not intend or would not be
party to any underhanded or mud-sling-
ing campaign; he went in on his merits
with ten years record in Cass county
to back him, and he also stated that he
was emphatlcally in favor of high
license. This in itself in North Dakota
amounts almost to the same as prOhi-
bition. But, for two years at most,
this matter is entirely out of the hands
of the governors ideas. Mr.. Burke
proposes to make clean canvass for
the executive chair. Gov. Miller speaks
in the highest terms of Capt. Burke's
qualifications, and as man Cass
county will probably unite on him,
while with any other there is strong
risk of disruption in the republican
ranks. Mr.. Burke claims the distinc-
ton of being the youngest q. A. r.
man in the Northwest, if not in the
United States, having entered the Union
army as drummer boy in New York
regiment at the age of 12yearS. He is
now forty, stout, and in the prime of
life, and with scarcely an enemy. He
has been treasurer of Cass county six
yeaIS; is an Ameriean-bOrn ciJiZen, and
a lifelong republican.
