REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

The question of how far an agent has
right to bind his principal who has
not authorized him 10 act for him at all
has brought large fees to attorneys and
counSelorS at law since the beginning
OF time. 1t comes up now anew in the
squabble over the site of the Republican
national convention of 1902 1t appears
that when Chicago was fighting for the
worlds fair some of its champions prom
lsed that Minneapolis might have the
next honor if the Minnesota delegation
III congress would only stand by the
Windy City in its great ambition. But
it also appears that others of its cham
plonS, or perhaps the same ones. made
similar bargain with Omaha and
Louisville and st. Louis, and divers and
sundry other places too numerous
to mention. Now, as the hour of reck-
Oning draws near, there is much confu-
sion and some chance for recrimina-
tons and charges of foul play. CHI
cago's only method of escape seems to
be along the line OF general repudia-
ton; and in this spirit the hack driy-
erS, hotel keepers and dime museum
proprietorS, who calculate on large
profits from the event, are loudly de-
clarlng that they never told any one
that he might speak for them. The
owners Of public libraries and fine art
collections, which would, no doubt, be
be extensively patrOniZed by the dele
gates, have not yet been heard from.

Meanwhile BENJAMIN HARRISON is
reported to have raised his placid head
over the top of the waves and to have
expressed preference for Omaha. If
this is true, it is not surprising, and yet
1t makes one sad. Omaha is just about
b. HARRISON'S size. But has he no
gratitude? Does he not appreciate the
fact that the Minneapolis Tribune under
its new management has taken down
the picture of BLAINE from its editorial

essays by prominent men in the Re-
publican party, entitled. why Am a

he would not go back on friends like
these. But perhaps he does not see the
Tribune, and does not know what it is
doing for his cause. The GLOBE hopes
that this is not so. No cabinet meeting
can be complete without its intelligent
comments on the currency and the tariff
questions. Nothing compares with them
in interest and political wisdom. unless
it be the speeches of the Hon WILLIAM
PETER. Ii some Que will send Mr..
HARRISON a file of the Tribune and

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The reports from the country districts
in the West show that money is very
plentiful there. The village Storekeep-
er5 have done and are doing a lively
business: many mortgages have been
paid off. and the farmers have a surplus
for investment which they are using in
the purchase of local paper and first
class securities which are offered to
them. The country bankers have been
visiting the large cities, and placing
their funds there in competition with
the city banks and brokers. Trade i'm
retail lines has not been as good in the
cities as in the rural sections. The I'M
seasonable weather has had more or less
to do with this, as suggested a week
ago; but winter is now clearly at hand,
and there is the hope and promise of
immediate improvement.
Hhe bank scandals and failures in
Germany have been regarded in two
ways bv authorities on such matters.
One set have been inclined to treat
them as indicating general collapse
there similar to that experienced in
England year ago. They have argued
llIdi VauAC1S have ilNGStcu
largely in industrial stocks and doubt
fol securities like the BARINGS. and
that they were bound to suffer serious
losses in consequence. When the news
of the foreign situation reached New
York this opinion prevailed at first. and
there was noticeable fall in the price
of stocks which are largely held abroad.
The other and later view is a more
cheerful one, and regards the reported
disasters as sporadic cases, due to iu-
dividual acknowledgement and diShOn-
eSty. The announcement Of large in
creases in the earnings Of the granger
and trunk lines in the published state
ments had much to do with the Undue
ing of better feeling.
Bradstreet's, as well as Dun's re-
ports. show large volume of trade iii
all quarters, although prices continue to
range lower than was expected. This
is particularly true of cotton, which has
sold at SIS cents, a fall of one-eghtl

which is leading many planters to with,

large foreign shipments. In October

less than 37.OO0.0O0 during a correspond
ing period in 1890.

STRUGGLING REpuRLICs,

Late news from Chill and Brazil is
feYerish. ltlndicateS high degree of
political inflammation in these Strug-
Cling republics which bodies no good to
internal prosperity or improvement. In
Brazil province after province is rising
against the self-aSserted dictator, DA
FONSECA. DeseTtiOns from his slender
army of governmental troops are stead
lily increasing in numbers and the re-
volt grows more general and significant
with each days added momentum. Only
the Brazilian navy, it seems. remains
loyal 10 his interests. Such political
tension in so new republic as Brazil
cannot long remain without evil effects.
The stability of all newly organized
governments depends entirely upon
rigid cohesion and unity of purpose.
In Brazil these elements are sadly
lacking.
The political ferment in Chill remains
undated. Details of the present I'M
comfortable situation are, however. be-
coming known more fully to the world.
State secrets are being gradually I'M
folded which attest the intensity of
feeling against the shattered remnant of
BALMACGDA's party held by the party
at present in power There are also
being brought TO light revelations con-
corning the last acts in the dark trag-
edy antecedent to the defeat and suicide
of BALMACEDA. which, in manner.
plausibly account for the fierce ami
mostly which appears to be raging in
the breasts of those now high in author
ity against any foreign legation which
dares to offer protection to Gillian
refugees. THESE tragical details read
strangely in the present era of the nine
teenth century. Much of their horror
has hardly been surpassed in the history
of times less civilized than ours.
With startling force the question
is brought home, are we Justified
in bOaSting of any real progression
in governmental science? And yet the
crucial test of republics existence is
at its inception. France made dismal
failure at first, relapsing into an empire
after few fitful years of assumed indie
pendence. There were dark hours in
the United States Immediately succeed
ing the Revolution. There were mo-
ments when JEFFERSON, WASHINGTON
and FRANKLIN trembied for final sue
cess, even with the fresh fruits of vic
tory in their hands. The one ray of
light seen glimmering in the gloom OF
South American war clouds is the eyi
dent strong desire of the people to re.
sist Entertainments of royalty They
will have republicanism or anarchy. In
Brazil there is no asylum for Dom
PEDRO or succeeding emperor.

that the winters festivities in st. Paul
will then be inaugurated. Such is the
settled order of things 10 this city. by a
custom so long observed that the mind
of man runs not to the contrary. The
season waits Oh this event, and in its
wake follow dances and dinners galore.
Everybody buys ticket and goes to the

nobody, or whether he expects to be
anybody or aspires to continue to be no.
