HIGH WAGES. Low PRICES.

The news from PENNSYLVANIA is that
the evictions of the striking miners
will be resumed this morning, and that
host of Italians Is to be imported to
take their places in the works. The
labor troubles which were expected at
about this time have been realized, and
everywhere there are strikes and prom
iseS of strikes. st. Paul is freer from
such things than other places, but
even here the timers are threatening
to quit their shops unless their demands
are complied with. The MCKINLEY bill
does not seem TO have brought wealth
to the working classes, whatever it may
have done for others. The supply of
laborers is unrestricted, and competition
continues to keep down the price they
can secure for their services. If the
protection programme has accomplished
anything, it has only been in the direc-
ton OF limiting the supply of materials
and so increasing their value. There
are more men to work than ever, with
smaller returns in consequence, and
narrower competition of commodities,
which makes it necessary to expend
more for everything one gets.
If the real object Of the Republican
party was to help the laborers. would it
not be better to stop immigration and
at the same time open our ports freely
to eiDflux of foreign goods? In that
case food and clothing and the other
materials of consumption would be
cheaper than they are at present, and
wages would be higher, because there
would be few workmen. The demand
for mems services would be much in
creased i'll this way, and they could all
ask what they wanted to for their time.
When they had gotten their price, its
purchasing power would be infinitely
greater than now, because with the
world to draw on for what they bought
they could supply their needs from the
products of the pauper labor of foreign
lands. This would be the ideal condi
ton. Instead of having cheap labor
and high-priced goods, we should have
high-priced labor and cheap goods.
Everybody would receive the largest
sums for his work and pay the low
est sums for his support. This would
also get around the practical difficulty
which presents itself of determining
upon some test for restricting immigra-
ton. Most people think that immigra-
ton ought to be limited in some way,
but no one can quite tell on what prin-
ciple. A property qualification. an ed
ucational qualification, or any other
qualification which can be suggested
seems impracticable. The theory of
protection which the GLOBE now sug-
gests would solve the problem. Stop
immigration altogether. Let no one
into our country unless he gives bonds
to leave within six months Then re-
move all duties on imports. Wages
would go up and prices would go down.
What is the matter with this pro-
| gramme?

NOT A WARNING.

Republican papers in Ohio are
alarmed at the intention of the Farm
ers' Alliance in that state to join in the
independent movement to be repre-
scented at Cincinnati in a couple of
weeks. The example of the Minnesota
legislature is held up to them as an OBJ
ject lesson, under the claim that it failed
to realize the promises of retrenchment
and reform. If the Ohio Alliance men
diagnose the economy of the late legis-
lature IN this state, they will fail to find
in its history any suggestion that the
control of the Republicans would have
made its expenditures smaller. The
Alliance element certainly was not
aided by the Republicans to practice
retrenchment. Republican votes passed
the increased appropriations. The warn
ing of the Ohio papers will probably be
understood.

HIS FLYING MACHINE.

The aerial ship that parties in Hi
nois have been celebrating, lat least with
their mouths, in the opinion of those
who should be able to judge does VIC
lence to natural laws, and consequently
must add to the long list of similar fail
ures. 1t is alleged that it comes near
the fake line, and its projectors only
hope to make money by ingenious de-
lusions. The public. and probably
majority of those who have learned
few natural principles and and are
termed scientists, laugh at the recent
claims of Prof. LANGLEY, a recognized
authority in scientific fields. He be-
lieves that he has demonstrated the pos
sibility of navigating the air. He has
discovered that in the air, the reverse
of the locomotion on the waters, the
greater the velocity the less power
is requisite. He has difficulties in
the start and ending of aerial
flights, but has visions that he has faith
to believe will materialize into orderly
and controllable passages. In his paper
before the National Academy of Sciences
he held that movement through the air
is attainable with the steam engines
now in use. Although he is professor
in the Smithsonian institute, those who
think it unbecoming to join in the gen.
eral guffaw will wait with respectful
incredulity, But the flying equipment
of the professor, or some other patient
seeker for natures secrets, will come in
time. The navigation of the air will
be no more of a wonder than half the
discoveries of the past .half-century.
The scoffers have always stood before
the advance of great invention.
Within the lifetime of some still
on the earth. the locomotive was
the dream of crank, the tel
egraph an absurdity. Even when
the first messages passed under the At
lantic by cable people quite freely be-
lieved that fraud was being perpe-
trated. Later the telephone and the
docile service of electricity as an lllumi-
nant and motor. if not laughed at as alb
surd, seemed to some 10 be freaks of
satanic influence. Popular incredulity
has been dissipated as to any wonders
to be unfolded on the earth's surface.
but the line is still run above the heads.
1t is a notifying admission that the
winged creatures that go through the
air have mechanical potencies that the
genius of man cannot utilize. The
flying machine will come along in due
time. and the surprise will be that its
simplicity so long baffied the efforts of
man. 1t is not eXpedient, however, to
fix any date at present.

When WILSON attempted suit against
MoEN some years ago he alleged that
he was son of MoEN, but his mother
exploded that faiSity. No credit has
been given the story that MoEN met
his constant demands for the long years
to keep him from telling lie about the
innocent son of the rich man. The most
pulling feature of the affair was that,
after the failure of WILSON'S suit, and
the explosion of his vile ISLANDERS, MOEN
still furnished him money. There is no
clue to any data upon which a claim
against the estate can be enforced, and
this leads to doubt tina. anything more
is now intended than to blackmail the
family and heirs. The general features

ATBAYIN THE BAY STATE.

The politics of Massachusetts, shows
very significant fact at present. That
Is one of the few states that adhereS to
the old style of eiecting its state officers
annually. All attempts to change this
practice to the less frequent elections in
lOther states have been rejected, for little
reason apparently other than that the
Republicans have had so many men who
aspired 10 a term in a state Office that it
was desired to crafty the ambi ton of
as many as possible. 10 be the govern
or of the state has been an aspiration
rvaling the possession of a mansion on
Beacon Hill, and obtaining the needful
sanitary exercise in clipping coupons
from bonds. The proprieties are
shocked by the possession of the eXecu-
itive char by Democrat. This ab-
Normal and almost unprecedented
condition must not be tolerated.
Although the legislature has not adj
Journed and it IS early to be stirring
such matters. the Republicans have
been looking about for man for gov
e"nOr who can make the race with a
chance for success. The singular feat
IRE is that no Republican is ask
ing for the nomination. This is believed
to be fact not known before since the
organization of the Republican party.
The Republican lieutenant governor,
popular man, who was presumed to be
in the field, has taken the course Mr..
BLAINE is expected to in his broader
sphere, and positively declined in adj
vance to have his name used. The
standing candidates are not indicating
their usual disposition. The evident
impression is that no Republican can
defeat the present Democratic gov
crnor. In the early times it used
TO be said that the Democratic
party in Massachusetts, was kept
purpOsely not too large to make the
patronage go around when the party
controlled the general government.
The majorities against it ranged up
ward from $4,000. That is not the pres
ent situation. 1t is sadly walled that
the bright, progressive sons of the
founders of the Republican party are
leaders in the Democracy on present
issues. They rear high the banner of
Tariff reform, and on that issue have a
majority eff the new congressman. AS
it is state where the manufacturing
interests predominant, their prosperity
is the leading consideration. The con-
cluSion there Is that their industries are
better off without the sort of protection
afforded in McKinleyism.

VIEWS OF STATE EDITORS.

Pat Rahilly seems to be white
elephant on the hands of the Repub-
lican party just at present. Surface IN
dicationS would make it appear that
Farmer Rahilly was playing Judas Is
CARROT with the Democratic party long
before his treachery was known to the
outside world, as he had filed an ap-
plIcatiOn for an appointment under the
Republican administration more than
eighteen months ago. The Rahilly
rumpus has no concern for Democrats
and should be left where it belongs-to
the Republican bosSes.-Faribault Pilot.
Talking with dist nguished Repub-
lican the other day, the statement was
made by him that, if Gov. Merriam was
a candidate tor the United States SEN
atorship, he should have it, and would
have it, because he had the money. He
already had Donnelly, the president of
the Farmers Alliance, and it would be
an easy matter to get the bulk of that
vote. On the surface, there is every in
dication TO believe that Gov. Merriam
is candidate for that high office, and
that he will make vigorous effort for
it there is no doubt among those who
are posted on the political situation
Wright Times.
1t is rumored that the efforts to put
Darius T. Reese into a sinecure position
on the railroad commission are likely to
succeed 1t is this loading down the
commission with politicians that has
brought it into such disrepute through
out the state. Ii ReeSe's services were
needed there would be some excuse for
giving him the place. but as it is there
is none.-Fergus Falls Journal.
~
The last Republican legislature by its
extravaganza created great deficiency
which this legislature had to pay or re-
pudiate, and they voted to pay it. 1t is
not honest nor fair for Republicans to
Democrats and Alliance. The house and
senate journals show that nearly every
Republican voted for every item in the
appropriation bill. Republicans can
have no credit from the passage of the
appropriation bill, and should, in all
decency, keep quiet.-Wabasha Demo
Graf.
Well, this may be so, that the gov
ernor, Republican, was asked to GER
tify to the good character of a Democrat;
but who will certify to the good charac-
ter of the governor? Will it be Rahilly?

DOWN ON THE FARM.
Written for the Globe.l

Written for the Globe.]
No doubt you've heard of late,
A song that's really great,
It's hummed and whistled everywhere you go;
And the verses are not long.
Tho the sentiment is strong,
/ believe it for the author told me so.
1t treats of rustic scenes,
A la radishes and greens,
For hayseeds it possesses quite charm;
And 1t mentions happy hours,
Picking beets and other flowers,
refer 10 the old home down on the farm.
It's dandy song I'm sure,
For diphtheria cure,
When sung applause doth follow in storm;
Annie Rooney isn't in 1t,
In your hat you ought to pin it,
It's corker-the old home down on the
farm.
Now the man who talks to me,
With tone of joyful glee,
OF the pleasure of a wayback country life;
OF the birds and trees and grass,
And the buxom milkmaid lass,
Should arm himself with pistol, club and
knife.
For I've passed month or more,
Working at q country store,
When the weather was what uncle claimed
was warm;
And wreStled with the bees,
And uppeF-cut the fleas,
Which kept US on the jump down on the
farm.
Many q weary year I've passed 49,
Since saw the old store last
But the mem'ry of the place brings back no
charm;
l would rather stay right here, J..
Get job at Singing beer,
Than return and be presented with the farm.
How the mem'ry of those meals
Ger my weary spirit steals
AS cast slde-long glance adown the past;
And see the old farm hands,
With their muscles like brass bands. ~
AS they gobble new potatoes thick and fast.
And 1 hear the gruff old man
Shout at Pat or Mike or Dan.
That the pork can never do you any harm;
And amid those festive scenes
Full of buttermilk and beans,
l ramble once again down on the farm.
You may never feel remorse,
Tho they feed you on ''salt horse.''
And sit you down beside an old school
marin,
But I'd rather be excused,
From being thus ill-used.
And suffn ring martydom down on the farm
| can see those apple pies,
With the covers full of flies,
And the coffee made from chickory or hay;
And those rolls of welterweight,
One enough to fill plate,
And the sponge cake quickly going to decay.
| can taste the stirabout,
That they said would make me stout,
And collie, cramps and such like quick dis
arm:
l can see the old mans face,
AS he hurriedly says grace.
And imagine I'm again down on the farm.
Oh this life is pretty tough,
Even where you've got enough,
And the future has in store no rude alarm;
But I'd rather feed on air,
AS my daily bill of fare,
Than to spend another morn down on the
farm. M. j. D.

ASSAILS THE PRESS,
Anna Dickinson Delivers Another
Rambling Address.


NEW YORK, May 3.-Anna Dickinson
delivered another intensely personal
and rambling address at Herriman's
theater tonight. Her theme was: Are
you ready for your own incareera-
tlon III an insane asylum"
with great vehemence she lev
eled much of her discourse at
tne representatives of the press, saving
she spoke for 65,0O0,00O. She several
tunes shed tears while speaking of her
incarceration in Danville asylum
ana declared that the laws of
the country, which were more
outrageous than those of Russia,
made it possible for any one to be shut
up as she was, with no hope of release,

enemy. Those who put her in
Danyille asylum could keep her there in
dehnltely. She considerd her release mir
aculous. Miss Dickinson spoke of her ca
reer III the civil war. and said President
Lincoln had sent for her in the dark
days of the rebellion and conversed
with her about the conflict. She again
assalled ex-President Cleveland and
