cies to be adopted and much variableness as to
the time when this new third party should be
formed. There is disagreement enough in the
aggregation at Cincinnati to make half a dozen
parties. cit seems to me that the organizers
will find it quite difficult feat to unite saloon
keepers and prohibitionists and woman suf-
fragists and those who oppose them with the
advocates Of the myriad schemes recently pro-
posed for the alleged relief of what the schemers
are pleased to term 1.-THE distresses OF the
people,"
These expressions are an insult to
every member of the alliance, and
should be 80 considered and remem-
bered. They are an insult to every one
that is working for better conditions,
and should be treasured up against this
official servant of Wall street. With a
bankrupt treasury, and bankrupt peO-
pie brought to such straits through the
monopolistic, plutocratic legislation Of
the party he represents, it i'll becomes
the secretary to assume that a cOntinu-
ance of such methods will bring the
needed relief. There is nothing desir-
able remaining in his party to steal. 1t
has long since ceased to be the party Of
Lincoln, Wade or Stevens, and has be-
come the plant tool of the plunderers
of the nation. People at this time are
not compelled to steal rottenness or cor
ruption. 1t is found lying about loose
on every hand.-National Economist

Grants Old Orderly Dead.

NEW HAVEN, June 11.-Edward
Wheelahan, who died here Tuesday,
was nearer to the head of the Union
army for longer time than any other
man. He was trooper, but was de,
tailed as the personal orderly of General
Grant. When Grant rode out the
armed cavalryman rode fifteen PAGES
behind, to personally guard his COM
mander. Wherever Grant went, there
Wheelahan followed. For days the
New Haven soldier went without taking
off his clothes. =,
The trooper was tall, powerfully
built man, a bold and skillful rider, a
soldier of recognized merit and bravery.
Grant selected him from the ranks out
of theentire army for his body guard.
Wheelahan never tiredRof defending
the generals character, and he stoutly
maintained that Grant was not drink,
ing man during the war. IF you had
chased Grant around as much as l
have" he used to say, "you would not
say there was anything the matter with
his habits"

Mr.. Fosters Insult.

The following is taken from a recent
interview with Mr.. Foster, secretary OF
the treasury. It discloses an entire want
of humanity, fellow-feeling or sympathy
for the toiling, struggling people OF this
country. 1t shows that the milk Of
human kindness has long since dried
up within his breast, and that he is the
fit companion and true prototype OF his
predecessor, the heartless and cold
blooded John Sherman:
The broad and generous public policy OF the
republican party is such that there is no room
for third party; new political organization
could not do anything necessary to our national
comfort or prosperity without stealing republi-
can thunder. The wild schemes OF these third
party advocates, such as the loaning OF govern
ment funds on real estate or personal property,
can not have Judgment in the minds OF sensible
people, and movements based on these eccen-
tricities are necessarily short-lived and ephem-
eral 1 am therefore not surprised at the news

This is especially the case in the vicin-

park. They start from the office OF the
Brooklyn district telegraph company,
Flatbush avenue, and dart about in all
directions, responding to calls with such
celebrity as to astonish those who ring
them up. The boys use bicycles, and
they purchass them themselves on the
installment plan. The boys who ride
them receive from fifty cents to 81 9

DULL DAYS,

These are pretty dull days for most
men, and dull days are dangerous days.
Stories of scandals fill the newspapers,
showing that idleness has been sug-
costing evil imaginings. When bust
ness is quiet lawyers are able to spend
more than few minutes in cOlsultatiOn
with their female clients, and suspicious
husbands can spare the time to peep
through the keynote and see mis-
deeds which may or may not be
going on there. Women vino have been
wronged. OF who have evidence which
might make jury believe that they
have been, can find attorneys willing to
listen to their tales, as also can men
who imagine they have been libeled by
some chance item in the public press or
slandered by some chance expression Of
their neighbOrs. Hence, we hear of
new divorce suits, started, of clergy
man in North Dakota arrested for i'm
prophecies of one sort and another, of a
Judge in South Dakota accused of SedUc-
tion long since committed, if committed
at all, demands for retractions served
on newspapers and of general plOW-
ing up of dead and rotten material in
the hope of gain or vengeance. When
trade IS active such things are allowed
10 sleep, because people are too much
absorbed in the opportunities of the
passing hour to waste their energies
over issues without vitality or promise
Of real fruitiOn. For most men there is
more profit in letting a loss which has
been received 20 for good, and in bend
ing their strength to renewed effort in
other fields against the future. But
when no new avenues appear open they
ponder on the possibilities of speculation
from this source and from that. The
mischief which the thirst for adventure
leads US to, when our occupations leave
margin for such enterprises. supplies
them with ammunition, and the phe-
nomena of a dull season present them
selves. 1t is a great thing for their own
and others sakes that people should be
busy.

i RARRARIC CUSTOM.

Still another one of those distressing
exhibitions of human suffering which
have become so common the world over
occurred night before last at Lake Min
netonka. The cottages in the neigh
borhood of the Hotel Lafayette had
prepared testimonial for the manager
of that hosiery as a token of their APP
probation Of many cOuTtesies received
at his hands during the season now
drawing TO a close. The testimonial in
this case consisted of a silver tea serv-
ice, and, proceeding to the hotel,
they presented it to him, accom-
panied by few appropriate and
witty remarks from their spokes-
man. Everybody knows what hap
pened afterwards without being told.
MIR. NEIL was at once 'struck dumb
with surprise" His tongue Glove to
the roof of his mouth, his eyes became
CLASSY and his limbs Stiffened with as
constituent and fright. This Invariably
happens to the recipient on such occa-
siOns. 1t is, perhaps, needless to re-
mark that he subsequently recovered
his self-pOsseSSiOn, and returned thanks
to his friends with his usual grace and
happiness. The recipient Of honOrs of
this sort always RECEIVERS his seIf-pos-
session after a while. But this does not
make any difference with the cruelty of
the initial proceedings. When man is
paralyzed he is paralyzed. and his ultl-
mate restoration to health does not
apologize or recompense for his suffer
ings. There ought TO be law forbid
ding this modern custom Of subjecting
estimable citizens to such exquisite
torture,

MARSH,S TIN BOX.
Government Experts Find 1t in
Their Search


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19.-The gov
eminent experts engaged i'll examining
the assets of the suspended keystone
National bank to-day found a tin box
in the bank vault, which was supposed
to have been the personal property of
Gideon w. Marsh, the fugitive presi-
dent OF the bank. In the box, in addi-
ton TO number of papers and dOcu-
ments, the experts found a clearing
house due bill issued by the Spring
Garden National bank (alSO suSpended)
for S25, 200, and a draft of the Spring
Garden bank on the Chase National bank
of New York for $4,000. Both the
due bill and draft are dated Feb. 16,
1888. They have never been Cancelled.
The due bill is similar to those received
by John Bardsley from the Keystone
bank, and upon which his assignee has
sued that institution. While it is
highly probable that the due bill
and draft were loaned to Presi-
by Francis w. Kennedy, the imprisoned
president of the Spring Garden bank, to
swell the assets of the former when the
bank examiner was expected to look
over the books, Receiver Yardley is of
the opinion that they can be col
lected, or at least the Spring Garden
bank be compelled to acknowl-
edge the Indebtedness represented by
them. The experts refused to disclose
what other papers or documents were
found in the box, or to say whether or
not they were important Regarding
the $4,000 represented by the draft and
due bill, they said that so far but little
trace of them had been discovered in
the books of the bank.

NATURES ELECTRIC DISPLAY

One of the severest electrical storms ever
seen in St. Paul occurred at los this morn
ing. The entire heavens at times seemed to
be one complete sheet Of flame. and the in
tervals between flashes were so brief as to be
almost imperceptible. The sight from the
GLOBE building was a magnificent spectacle,
and propably was never excelled, even by
the scenes at the destruction of Pompeii.
The roll of thunder was constant and as
flash would succeed flash the whole
city was visible and had the appear
ance of mirage in desert,
that would rise before the eye and immedi-
ately disappear, to be succeeded almost in
simultaneously by another panoramic view.
At times 1t seemed as if the entire canopy of
heaven was one immense sheet of flames,
and would only appear and disappear-leav-
ing everything in Egyptian darkness-as the
opening and closing of huge furnace door.
The ram fell in torrents, but seemed to have
no preeeptible effect on the atmosphere, as
the same sultry, oppressive feeling prevailed
after the storm seemed to have spent its
force

CANaDA,s TRICKsrERs.
Commissions That Were Called
Pet Names.

OTTAWA, Ont. Aug. 19.-The public
accounts committee adduced some start
ling developments to-day. In the first
place Mr.. Somerville said, in moving
for certain accounts and vouchers from
the public works department, that the
papers would show that number OF
officials in that department have been
purchasing goods from BOurcler u Co.,
dry goods merchants in Ottawa, charg-
ing them to the department, and having
them sent to their private houses Tor
their own use.
When Supt. Bronskill, of the station
cry branch of the department of public
printing. was brought to the stand, he
admitted to Mr.. Lister that he had re-
ceived some $50 from paper company
in AiOntre al as commission on goods
purchased by the government from
them, and that he had received
from Barber, Ellis & Co., stationers.
from whom he had purchased some $751;
900 worth of envelopes, sums aggregat-
ing about 800. These were in the way
of loans on accommodations in times OF
sickness and for the purpose Of sending
his family 10 the seaside. OF this money
$500 had been received the past spring,
aud he had not repaid any of it, but he
had about two weeks ago given the lrIn
a promiSSory note for 800.
j. S. Johnston, type founder. of To
ronto, admitted selling $4,000 worth of
type to Mr.. SENEGAL, Superintendent of
the bureau, and admitted that he gave
him money, not as a commission.
but as a loan, SENEGAL being hard
up. He declined to state the
amount, when the chairman said
he must do so. He still persisted, and
finally Hon. Mr.. Bowel moved that his
conduct be reported to the house. After
taking all hour to consider his course,
Johnston gave in and admitted that he
had given SENEGAL over $1,000.
SuDt. SENEGAL himself was then called.
He had, he said, bought some $4,000
worth of type from r. L. Patterson Il
Co., and had received accommo
dations from them. 1t might have
been $1,000, but he did not

said he could not remember any of the

GET OFF THE FENCE, THERE


The Minneapolis Tribune reads the
editors of Republican papers who have
been dallying with Democratic tariff
doctrines a sharp lecture, and plainly
tells them they must get off the fence
or acknowledge their Democracy. 1t
says: sit is the fashion for a number
of alleged Republican papers in the
Northwest to declare every few days
that they are in favor of a moderate
tariff" This. it tells them, is Dem
ocracy, not Republicanism; that it is
what CLEVELAND advocates and what
the MILLS bill provided. 1t very cor
rectly says that Republicanism does not
believe in moderate tariff: that it is
for good, stiff protective tariff, and
that if it believed in a moderate
tariff a tariff for revenue only it
would commend Mr.. CLEVELAND and
the Democratic party policy which he
outlines to the support of the Ameri-
can people"
The Tribune is right. There is no
middle ground on which any intelligent
and honest man can stand; the lines are
drawn taut and straight. If a man be-
lieves in a moderate tariff or a tariff
laid only with view conceded revenue,
he is a Democrat. and he is only fool
ing himself in thinking he is anything
else, Republican or Alliance. If there
is such thing as a Democrat who be-
lieves in any degree of protection by
taxation, except, possibly. the shadow
which revenue tariff casts, the GLOBE
ASSUMES him he is not at all a Democrat,
and that he should go over to the Re
publican camp, where he belongs. 1t
will witness the departure with relief.
The Tribune is both right and honest in
lashing the namby-pamby fellows. who
would be Democratic fish and Repub-
lican fowl at the same time, into being
wholly either the one or the other.
But we doubt the success of the Trib-
une's efforts. These Republican pa
pers who favor a moderate tariff do it.
not because they believe in it, but be-
cause they know that their Republican
readers and subscribers are honey
combed with the Democratic heresy,
and they dare not run the risk of Offend
ing them. They are not doing any edu-
cational work; there is no money in
that; they are editors for revenue
only" and will DO nothing to impair it.
They lack the courage and devotion to
principle which has kept the Demo-
cratic editors of the state true to their
| party and its policy through all the dis
cOuragements and trials of its minority;
| and deSDite the Tribune'S lPctnre. they
viii continue to carry Republicanism
on one shoulder and Democracy on the
| other.

WANTON MISCHIEF.
Three Men Lose Their Lives in a
Strange WAY.


Strange Way.
BRADFORD, Pa, Aug. I9.-AnsOn L..
Pratt, fireman on the Campbell lum-
Der road near Kane, this county, was
killed to-day, and John Calvin, the en-
gineer, and an unknown young man,
were fatally injured in a terrible acct
dent. Pratt ard Calvin were engaged
in making up a train of bark cars in the
woods. and left one car on the summit
of a steep grade on the road while
they attempted to pull car
from a siding near by. They
had placed blocks under the
wheels of the car OH the hill. While
they were engaged two young men
came along and knocked the blocks out
from under the wheels. The released
car sped down the hill like lightning.
One Of the young men, whose name is
still unknown. was on the car which he
had helped to start, but when it gained
such great speed he leaped, and was in
jured so badly that he has been uncon-
scious. and will die. The car and en-
CINE collided with a terrible crash, and
both men were jammed against the
boiler and covered with the wreck.
Calvin had his leg amputated, and will
not survive the shock.
