GLOBE TOWER SHOTS.

Miller Purvis. who says that his Ohio party
will bury Mckinley $1,000 deep, also says that
he was converted to free trade in trying to
prove that protection was good thing for
the people of this country. This indicates
that there is a chance for retention yet lett
for the tariff writer of the up-riyer Tribune.
The Globe-Democrat, which is neither
globular nor Democratic, says there is nothing
in McKinleyism for the foreigner. We had
supposed it, to use q favorite Republican
hallucination, that the payment of the tax
duties on the goods he sends us was lin it,
for him. We are glad to be corrected.
Take the tax off sugar and the price falls;
put tax on wool and the price falls; put a
tax on barley and the price rises; one OF
which shows only, that, as price regulator
McKiDleyirm is decidedly eccentric.
Unlimited capital stood ready to invest in
the plate mills as soon as the bill passed,
was Mr.. McKinley's confident assurance
last year. The tin plate rise has been start
ing mills everywhere ever since. but beyond
Niedringhaus one-W Welshman-and-a-boy mill
in st. Louis none have been discovered.
Now comes Mr.. Oliver of Pittsburg, who
says that capital is waiting to see if the
ifty-second congress will not repeal the tax.
A thfrty-ive pound cantaloupe is the best
California can produce. ST. Paul can turn
out dozen pairs of them that will tip the
beam at 80, not to mention the other odd
hundreds who can eloDe if they wish to.
The conquest of the North by the South
goes steadily and peacefully on. Chatta-
nooga mills now turn out Bessemer basic
steel from native iron ore without the ad-
mixture of either Cuban or Superior ore.
Wanted: The correct spelling of the name
OF Jerry Rusk's man who is making it rain
down in Texas by blowing up the clouds. 1t
is now Dyhrenfurth, again Dryenfurth: then
it is Dyrenfurth, and occasionally Dryen-
forth. Suppose the editors and proofreaders
all unite on Dryandsoforth 1t is as good as
any. and it kind O. lines up with his present
business.
President Harrison wants silver dollar
which VIII be worth a dollar everywhere. "
But his congress has for years been giving in
a silver dollar which is to-day worth zoos
cents the instant it crosses any boundary line
of the United States
General Solicitor Butterworth, with his
suave manners, his genial and persuasive
eloquence, is telling the old worlds fair OF
the attractions of the new worlds fair.
After his trip the old world will have a
clearer idea of the importance of that new
world answer to the old world question: -
How much is butter worth?
A farmer i'll Connecticut accidently killed
himself with a scythe the other day.-Ex
change.
He'll farm no mower.-Exchange.
Was he sickle long time e?-EXchange.
We hope not.-Exchange.
Enough. This is getting narrowing.
Senator Washburn has returned from
Europe. y = When he next goes q
travelling we take the liberty of suggesting
that he 60 into the Southern states. He will
be welcomed there doubtless by the ''best
people, if not by the blackest.-St. Paul Dis
patch.
This is what Artemus Ward would call q
''goak." 1t means that Senator Washburn
voted against the force bill. At least this is
the GLOBES guess. 1t is possible, however
that it does not mean anything.
There is good deal of Republican talk III
New York about nominating Andrew d
White. of Cornell university, for governor
DR.. White is a strong man, very scholarly
man; but he is in mis- best element at Cor
nell, and can do more good training men tC
citizenship than he can wrestling with
bosses and offieeseekers at Albany.-Minne
apolis journal.
This is just six years and few months be-
hind the times. DR.. White resigned his po
sition at Cornell in 1885, when he was sue
ceeded by Charles Kendall Adams. The
Journal is strong on grammar, but rather
weak on the history of educational instItu
