Il do not really see, Elijah," re-
marked the president, with unseason-

fessed as the aim of the party organiza-
ton. Familiarity with Republican pol
icies easily leads TO that conclusion.
There is, however, no warrant in the
record of the tariff reform Democracy
for such imputations. They have not
been in control of all the lawmaking
branches when an opportunity was
afforded them to materialize their aims
in legislation. 1t would clearly be i'm
practicable to formulate and pass a COM
plete and detailed tariff reduction bill
at the coming session. Il it could be
completed, a Republican senate and
president would be in its way. The
Democratic policy is not free trade, but
free trade and revenue, the latter to be
derived from sources least burdensome
to the masses of the people. If all desired
is not to be obtained, gradual move
ment in the right direction is to be pro-
NOTED at all opportunities. If the
Tribune is correct in believing the Re-
publicans would accept Democratic
measures removing or reducing the
tariff on the prominent articles alleged,
1t would be a great stroke Of policy to
present bills of this sort and put the sim
certy OF the Democrats to the test. Per-
haps it would be found that the Repub-
licans are the true tariff reformers. A
demonstration of that sort would be
big card in the presidential contest.

Numerous Disasters to Shipping
Reported.
DETROIT, Nov. 27.-SeYeraI shipping
disasters are reported from up the lakes
today. The steam barge Ossigatchie,
timber laden, left AIpena Tuesday with
the barges Goodell, with 100000 feet OF
lumber, and SDotter, $50, 900 feet OF lum-
b9r, and the schooner A. J. McBrier
in tow. When Off Sturgeon Point the
OSsigatchie got in heavy sea and soon
sprung a leak. The barges were cut
adrift. The OSsigatchie rapidly filled
with water, and the crew took to the
boats. They we've picked up and are
now in this city.
The barges floundered about, and It
is reported the Goodell went down with
all on board. No word has been re-
schooner escaped unframed and is now
in this city. The OsSigatchie was val
ued at $40, 900, but was insured, as was
her cargo.
The schooner Samaria, lumber laden,
is ashore at Duncan bay. Assistance
has been sent. The steamer City of
Alpena reports having passed four
wrecks on her up trip last night, but does
not know what they were. A tug has
been sent to the assistance of reported
wreck at Pressure isle. The steambarge
Page, with a load of coal for Escanaba,
is aground on Thunder Bay island.

separate army and navy, and admins

THAT RUSSIAN UKASE.

SHEPARD TO BLAME.

New York did not get the Republican
convention, and neither did Tacoma.
Still, Tacoma had a chance. She did
not have the Journalistic Wild Man of
Borneo TO advance her claims.-NeW
York Advertiser.
Now. on top of all, we have been reft
of Brother Elliott Shepard'S national
convention. Unkindest cut of all. The
iron has entered our soul. Yet, we will
continue TO smile and make no sign.-
New York Telegram.
Col. Elliott Shepard says of New
York's failure TO secure the national
convention: There is a CriSp(ness) in
the speakership fight that is distressing
in the elasticity of Springer and the
grinding of Mills Chicago Inter
Ocean.
From the somewhat bitter tone of the
New York papers it would seem that,
while Blame may have had a hand In
sending the convention TO Minneapolis,
the chief reason for Its not going to
New York was that Col. Elliott +. Shep-
ard was on the committee of invitation.
Chicago Times.
New York failed in the effort to Sc
cure the Republican national conven-
ton. This is due to the fact that Elder
Shepard, who had the matter in charge,
refused to work on Sunday. Every
body knows that Sunday is great day
for buttonhoiing. When it is made
dies non III politics, direful results fol-
low. The elder must be charged with
tins sad failure. New York Advertiser
1t required eight innings-that is to
say. eight ballots-to defeat New York
in the big convention game in Washing
ton, but. all the same, we were beaten.
The baleful eye of the hOodOo was upon
US from the start. and there was no es-
Gaping his influence. Col. Shepard had
made a speech, and. as we say in the
vernacular, ''that settled it."-New
York Advertiser.

MORE TROUBLE.

They are unhappy again. Having
made themselves miserable lest the
Democrats should put the wrong man
in the high seat Tom REED ruled in,
they now lose placidity over the ques-
ton whether the Dem ocratS in the
house should formula te a complete
tariff bill, with its thous ands OF details,
or send to the senate few special bills
repeating or reducing the most oppress-
i've duties OF the MCKINLEY tariff.
The Chicago Tribune, in the intensity
of its solicitude, draws largely upon its
gray matter in its kindly counsel to
the Democrats. 1t admoniSheS them
that single bills removing the duties
on wool, Irvine material, and several
other articles, after passing the house,
will probably be accepted by the senate
and become laws, and then the Demo-
Gratis will have but shadow Of a tariff
issue in the presidential campaign.
What an oppressive foreboding that
must be to the Tribune and its class of
politicians.
But the Tribune assumes that the aim
OF the Democrats IS to secure party sue
cess, regardless of the principles pro

Does Chicago want the Democratic

Minneapolis has secured the Repub-

VENTS the Democratic convention. The
old rivalry between the twins seems to
have broken out agaIn.-Chicago Inter

The success of Minneapolis seems to
have whetted st. Paul'S appetite TO an
abnormal degree. If there are any
stray national conventions looking for a
home they will be accommodated by
the other twin.-Chicago News.
The Minnesota twins are pulled up
with pride, and are beginning to think
that they own the whole country. Min
neapolis captured the Republican con-
Vention, and now st. Paul proposes to
go fishing for the Democratic gathering.
Kansas City Times.
Chicago should enter the contest for
the Democratic convention in earnest.
In permitting Minneapolis to entertain
the Republican president-makerS this
city has paid whatever debt it owed the
far Northwest for support in the worlds
fair contest. No more self-abnegation
can be asked fairly. Caicago now may
rightfully demand that the Democratic
convention be held here. both because
OF the unequaled facilities offered by
this city for the entertainment of the
delegates, and because of its proximity
to states that are now reckoned as
doubtful.-Chicago Times.
Now it's the other twin. Minnie has
a plum, and Paul, of course, wants one
like it. Mime is joyfully tripping
home from Washington with the Re-
publican convention in her ulster. and
now Paul is beginning to cry for the
other one. \ committee is already at

each seems willing that the other should
take half. OF course, New York or st.

TONIGHI,S MEETING.


The GLOBE hopes that there will be
large and enthusiastic gathering OF st.
Paufs citizens at the chamber of COM
merce this evening, that our contest for
the Democratic national convention may
be started in good earnest and with the
omenS of success. 4 good many projects
of municipal interest have demanded
time and attention or late; and, now that
the days are short and the nights clOd, it
will take some resolution 10 attend an
other meeting at the end OF the week,
and to cooperate in the hard Begin
nings of a new enterprise. Some people,
too, will be inclined to hold back be-
cause they shun participation in prac-
tical politics or because they do not care
to be identified with a movement of eS
pecial concern to party with which
they have never associated the m
selves. To such it may be said that
this honor is sought not because
of its effect Oh the destinies
of the Democracy. They are safe,
whether the convention shall be held i'll
San Francisco, in Chicago. in Cincinnati
Or in st. Louis. The question is whether
we shall fOrego an opportunity TO secure
for our fair city prominence before the
country as a municipality of the first
class such as it has never had before.
The question is whether We shall per-
NIT our people 10 lose an instrument for
popular education in the lessons Of
patriotism the value of which is beyond
the limits of easy calculation. 1t does
not seem possible that we should, and
that we may not the GLOBE calls on
every one who has our local welfare at
heart, no matter what his party affiiia-
tons, to lend the influence of his pres
ence and support to those who are striv-
ing for the achievement of this object,
worthy of the highest endeavor.
