THE Two-YEAR-oLD PACE.
There were three starters in this
race but only one could pace and
she could go rather fast. Lee Steele
could have easily shut out the other
two and his driver had hard work
to keep him from doing it anyhow.
1t was hippodrome and it is pity
there is not some provision made fol
a case like this. Lee Steele can
pace in the neighborhood of 80.

1t purifies the blood.
It's not like the sarsaparillas,

No other medicine of its kind
says as much but no other does

The fastest time of the week was
made by William R. in this race,
2:1S. He won handy in straight
heats with Joe Egbert second. Some
fast quarters were made by William

up his clip, too, the second heat be-
ing only half a second from the
other two. The starters were Dick

2 :251 respectively. This was a
great race. In the third heat
Marion Wilkes closed up a won-

yards ahead OF the gang. 1t is re-

horses and as many broken heats

The two divisions of the 2 80 trot,
left over from Thursday, and the
yearling stake trot, also ON the
same card, were disposed of Fri
day afternoon before the regular
days programme was taken up.
One heat in each division settled
both races. In the first, Cicerone

second Marion Wilkes was the win
ner-time, 2:20A Cicerone won
the last three heats in straights as

the second division Musette got the

THE YEARLING STAKE TRoT.
Here was a pretty field of babies,
but they scored up like old soldiers.
Several, however, were thought to
be distanced but the flag was.in the
wrong place and all that were not
drawn started again. Leone is a
speedy little filly, and Little Pan
hasn't got it over her much. The
two would make a pretty race by
themselves. Fifty and a half is
going along for yearlings and either
of them can do better. Leone had
a frightful big leg on her from ex-
posure in the swamps at Louisiana.
Fuller says she is as fast a colt as
there is in the country anywhere.

ADLAi E. STEVENSON.
THE WORLDS FAIR ORATOR

THE WORLDS FAIR ORATOR.
1t appears to be definitely determined
at last that Hon. W. G. p. BRECKIN-
RIDGE. of Kentucky, will deliver the
worlds fair dedicatory address at Chi
cago on the 21st OF this month. Col.
BEECkINRIDGE announces that the
committee on ceremonies declines to
accede to his request that he be allowed
to withdraw his acceptance Of the invi-
tation to deliver the address. and he
will accordingly be on hand as orator of
the day.
This is eminently as it should be.
Col. BRECKENRIDGE vote in congress
against the worlds fair appropriation
rather augments than detracts from his
qualifications for any honor at the dis
posal of the American people. The
GLOBE does not mean by this to declare
against the appropriation; it merely
means TO assert that Col. BEECKIN-
RIDGES record in that matter is en-
tirely honorable and in every way
creditable to him. He was manifeStly
inliuenced-by only the pureSt and high
est motives of public duty. His private
interests were al in the other direction.
for he could clearly foresee that his OPP
position to the appropriation would
create bitter, however unworthy, hoStil-
ity toward him as worlds fair orator,
for which high honor he had already
been chosen. That this hostility has not
been permitted to prevail is very
greatly to ChicapO'S credit She has
again demonstrated that, in the broad
spirit of her Americanism, she is the
Sttest city for the fair.

POOR OLD UNCLE IG.

Poor 'lg'' Donnelly has come to the
belief that the Republicans of this state
are waiting on every corner to get a
chance to assaSSinate him and makes it
known in his public speeches. If it was
any one else talking that way the peo-
pie would say there is man with de-
mented mind. and he would be taken
before some judge, adjudged insane
and sent to the insane asylum. We will
bet THAT if DOnneily was taken to one,
In short time we would hear of new
party with Donnelly at the head and
the rest as fOUoWers.-Dodge County
Star.
What a joke Donnelly has perpe-
trated the biggest one of the season,
and loud gutfaw is going up all over
the state, although Ig does not take it
In that way. In speech at Mime
apolis a few days ago he charged the
Republican state committee with seek
ing his death, and were going to assas-
sinate HIM. What an ass Donnelly is,
and it must be that the worry and any
iety of the campaign has turned his
brain. Look out for the Great West in
Its next issue. That will give a full &C
count OF the great conspiracy OF the
plutocrats to asSassinate DonEelly, the
peoples friend, and call will probably
be made for the farmers to arm them
selves and send in guard for the pro-
lection OF the Sage.-Glencoe Register.

TONG CHEFS BLUFF.

john Chinaman evidently believes
that he is bigger man than Uncle Sam,
and is therefore not afraid to defy the
law recently passed compelling him to
be registered and photographed as a
resident of the United States.-New
York Telegram.
Tong Chez and all his tribe have risen
in open revolt against the law of the
land. They strangely object to the proc
ess of being 'mugged." If the pro-
nunciamento of the potent Six Com
panies is anything more than sound and
fury. they mean to resist the practical
operation Of the Geary photograph
scheme in every possible way. This is
a very foolish policy for the almond
eyed laundrymaD to adopt. The appeal
to the Chinese sovereign, Tien Tie, is
all well enough, and there is at least
ingenuity in the argument that the
Geary bill is unconstitutional and in
violation of Americas obligations. But
there is no sort of reason why the
Celestial who soJourns here shouldn't
comply with the law under protest, and
wait until the proper tribunals act upon
the question of its constitutionality.-

SLOWING THE ROBBERS UP.

Suppose that Wolcott is the biggest

as the wheat ring), does that disprove
what Mr.. Pillsbury wrote to sCredit
Lyonnals, Paris" to wit: that one of
his elevator companies had paid for the
past SIX years an average dividend of
over ~ per centum per annum. after
paying all expenses, including of course
the 5000 year he paid Wolcott, who
mas now given these letters out for pub

POLITICAL INDEPENDE NOE.

The man who slavishly votes a party
ticket without considering the princi-
piles it represents, or the character of
the candidates whose names appea +
on it, is a misguided aud pitiable
creature. The higher the grade OF in
telllgence in g community, the more
difficult OF prediction is the result of an
election. 1t is only where prejudice
instead of reason rules that the popular
mind is closed against persuasion.
Alert and progressive places understand
that uncertainty Of tenure is the most eff
fectige instrument for securing good gov
erament. y faction which comes to
regard power as its ina!ienable prerog-
ative is sure to abuse it. Ii an admin
iStratlon is conscious that it will be held
strictly accountable for its official acts,
1t viii be careful that they shall be
such as will bear scrutiny. The GLOBE
Is Democratic paper, but it has always
preached the doctrine of political indie
pendence. 1t calls on the citizens Of
Minnesota to make of the rights given
them 10y the constitution something more
than forn.ality. Let them bring their
iHteliiscice anu lOHVSt ieellDSS 10 pear
on the duty which confronts them, and
with the help of their enlightened
conscience cast their ballots freely, pa
trioticaily, wisely. For man to boast
that lie has always voted the Republi-
can ticket, or always voted the Demo
cratic ticket, is to convict himself of
folly and ignorance. The Union is more
than parties, and the welfare of the
commonwealth greater than personal
consistency. Ii Minnesota is to attain
the first position in the sisterhood of
states, she must be brought into the
doubtful column.
