Last November man went to
America toendeavor to improve his
positionin life. InJapuary he was
reported to have been killed. He
returned, however, last week to find
his wife had turned over q new leaf
in the marriage service, and that a
new man occupied his seat in the
chimney corner. Did he go to
work to slaughter the false wife
and new husband? Not much. He
walked in and said:
"Well, old gal, how is things?"
"Putty good, Bill" said the
doubly married woman, not taken
aback greatly.
(Which do you prefer the old
or the new love?"
She hesitated for an instant and
then said:
81 don'tlike to hurt your feelings
-but-but-"
ooh, spit it out Don't mind my
feelings or the other chaps. l
won't be angry if you come down a
little rough on my vanity. Count
on me being amiable. l won't cut
up rusty if you should go back on
me-"
"I'm glad you're so thoughtful
Bill; and l acknowledge that [ do
like my psesent husband best; but
if anything should happen to him
] know nobody else l would as soon
join fortunes with again as you"
"That's the way to talk. Pllnow
bid you good-by, hoping that no
accident will happen to the other
fellow, and that he will live long to
enjoy your delightful society. So.
good-day"
And the husband traveledoff with
his knapsack on his back, whistlin2
in CHEEKY, clear, tones, "The Girl
Left Behind Me"

He Shot Wild.

The Carroll County Democrat of
last week contains the following:
Robinson & Lewis are proprietors
of a small store in the 18th district
of Benton Coupty. Wednesday
night Of last week some parties en-
tered their store and stole two suits
of clothes, some sugar and coffee
and perhaps few other articles Of
necessary use. Suspicion rested
upon j. Fl. Keif and Willie Coop
er and a search warrant was sworn
out and a search of Keifs house
was made. The search resulted in
finding the clothes and developing
the fact that the suspicion had been
well founded. Keif was arrested
but Cooper made his escape. He
was closely followed by Messrs. w.
H. Hyatt and E.. II. Harris, the
latter shooting at him twice as he
ran away, but shooting wild missed
his mark Messrs. Hyatt and Har-
ris were here Monday looking for
their man, who they felt confident
they would get before the chase
was given up

CONVENTION ECHOES.

NO you are wrong" said Capt II. A.
Castle yesterday. sin the statement that L
rang little Republican politics into my
address to the editors. Had 1 done tn at, even
by inadvertence. l should owe my abject
apology to the citizens of st. Paul The only
possible sentence open to such construction
was this:
"Yo u are the DISCOVERIES and the only
genui ne opponents of the doctrine of rec
iprocity; before those modern apostles of
that doctrine, Benjamin Harrison and James
G.. Blaine, had achieved eminence. the ed
ito rial fraternity had reduced it to an exact
science
1.-THE reciprocity was suggesting to the
editors was, of course, non-political. l
asked simply their good will III return for
our exhibition of our jewels to them. And
the other matter was thrown in merely as
good -natured allusion to the alleged con-
troversy between Blaine and Harrison as to
the paternity of the doctrine Certainly no
Democrat could take offense at that, if
rightly heard and understood"

GERMANYIN THE LEAD.

If France expects to be better able to
gain satisfaction from Germany for the
military and consequent events of
couple of decades ago, and other times,
it will not be due to the increase of the
native population. The dominions of
the young emperor who gyrates about
so much have been pulling ahead in
long strides in this matter. 1t is a fact
that has good deal of significance that
the Germans are the only important
people, except the Russians, that do
not lose in the per cent of increase.
For several decades France has hardly
more than held its numerical strength,
while Germany shows no disposition to
abate its rate of multiplication. This,
too, in the face of the generous con-
tributiOnS it has made to this and other
countries, while France has lost little
by migration. The two other Latin
nations show little more fecundity than
France. OF the English-speaking, Ire
land has the only absolute decrease, but
England and the United States have a
reduced ratio of growth. These are all
the reports of recent enumerations, and
in some respects arc unexpected. The
inference would seem to be that of the
civilized nations of the world the Ger
mans alone have undated vigor. The
European problems will grow in COM
plexIty if Germany is to gain constantly
upon the other powers. If it is am
bilious and aggressive 1t may require
the maintenance of still larger military
establishments. 1t may, however. take
the lead in disarming and adhering to
peaceful adjustments.

CITIES FOR CONVENTIONS.

The GLOBE is sorry that the conven-
ton is ended and that the editors are
gone, and is sorry also that so few
of them were able to accept the
proffered hospitality of the city of Min
neapOlis. Work and festivities CON-
bined, over a stretch of nearly a week,
strain the vitality of the strongest, and
the warmth of the welcome they re-
ceived and the intensity of heir enjoy
ment will make our guests value few
days of idleness and surcease from
handShaking and banquetS. A good
many OF them visited Minneapolis at
times of leisure during their visit, and
it was not through lack of appreciation,
but through lack of strength, that they
failed to respond to still further oppOr-
tunities for entertainment.
They have one and all left pleasant
impressions behind them. and, if their
expressions of delight are true index
to their real feelings, 1t is safe to say
that the reports they will carry back
home about the great Northwest will
reflect credit on these two cities. They
are men of influence and weight in the
communities where they live. and have
exceptional facilities for spreading
among their naighborS the news of
what they have seen and experienced in
this region. The GLOBE believes that
they will speak well of their hosts. and
bear witness that they are equal to such
tasks as they consent to undertake.
One of the tasks which Minneapolis
aspires to wrestle with is the entertain
ment of the delegates to the next Re-
publican national convention, and the
newspaper men who have been here can
tell their constituents whether or not it
is capable of acquitting itself salts
factorlly, should the OPP portunity be
given it. Some of them expressed them
selves to this effect before their depart
ure, and some went so far as to say that
st. Paul would be a place admirably
adapted also for the assembling of the
leaders of the Democracy in 1892. 1t is
very important for our growth that the
prominence such events would give this
section should be secured; but very
probably one convention would be as
much as could be had or accommodated.
In such an exigency, the GLOBE is will
ing to yield to Minneapolis. and to CO.
operate with it III it earnest efforts in
this directio already wrought. 1t
thinks that st. Paul has made valu-
able contribution in its favor by the
events Of the week just ended.

A QUEER REFORM.

1t would not be supposed that effete
and unprogressive Spain would afford
point for the reformer on the BELLAAIY
or any other advanced line. The en-
thusiasm of the country has been looked
for in the arena where the muscular de-
Velopment craze has its ideal in the en-
ragged bull; yet it is related that in that
country a sect has been in existence for
some time that has anticipated and COM
bined some Of the cOnceits that have
hardly obtained legitimized position
in this country. The central aims of
the Spanish organization are to repress
and extinguish disease, and swell the
census in the most ancient and lawful
way. The sect or order is not approved
by the government, and efforts are
made to discourage and check it,
Still, the story is that, like most instltu-
tons that paternal governments seem to
persecute, the people are taking to it.
and it is spreading rapidly in the cities.
The members gather at the house of one
of their number who is called pontiff.
where they indulge in vocal work OF the
several kinds, pretty much on the faith
cure line, for the removal of disease
from the afflicted. Whether there is
unusual potency in the organized feat
ure does not appear. The peculiar
phase of the movements the recognition
of the title of the female member to the
possession OF the man her soul Graves for
a husband; providing, of course. that he
is legally eligible. Any lady member
may rise III the meeting and state that
she desires a husband and name the
man she would honor. He must
obey the call. His obligations as
a member leave him 10 way of escape
