The GLOBE does not take much stock
in the fashion which seems to he more

dlence to which gentlemen call each

'scoundrels" at public gatherings. The
objection to the use of these epithets is
not in the inaccuracy of their application.
1t is very possible that an expert reader
of character would commend their
peculiar fitness in every instance
where they are employed. But

in the proceedings have usually not at

or three men express their opinion of

some to them to be detained while
this sort of thing is going on. OF
course, if such episodes always ended

every way satisfactory. Mankind

the matter, and that is to have it pass

WATTERSONIAN PESSIMIsM.

Something has gone seriously wrong
in Kentucky. Nothing less than mis-
take in his iulep could have persuaded
the usually gay and volatile Col. w At
TERSON into the peSsimistic conclusion
that 1.-The astronomers will not find that
Mars is Inhabited" because sit is hardly
probable that the Lords patience, great
as 1t is, could tolerate another inhabited
world"
Mamtestly some great cause for grief
has overtaken the Kentucky editor.
The world is temporarily hollow for
him. and his doll is filled with sawdust.
1t can't be the Chicago convention that
is still worrying him-he recovered
from that little disappointment almost
before he felt it. 1t must be the julep.
Some irreverant hand has violated the
chaste perfection of the favorite sum
mer potion of every true Kentucky
colonel. The guardian of the star-eyed
goddess has had his julep tempered
with. A little gall and few splinters
of wormwood have been dropped down
between the green leaves of fragrant
mint. 1t was a vandal act, and its per-
petrator shonld be hunted down and

MEDILL AND THE MARQUIS.

Ii the Marquis de Mores means to
fight all the American editors who have
said bad things about him he had bet

Boston Globe.
When the fighting editor of the Chi
cago Tribune hits the Marquis de Mores
with one of those double loaded tariff
editorials the dapper and dashing
Frenchman will be marqued for life
Detroit Tribune.
The Marquis de Mores will probably
regret that he challenged the fighting
editor of the Chicago Tribune to duel.
1t gives the editor the choice of weap-
ons. and ne will probably stab the mar

the summit OF foolishness. He is being
made football of by the press of the
United States, and if he comes across

utilized as doOr-mat by all the wits of

The prompt acceptance of the Mar

the Chicago Tribune proves that the
American Journalist is no coward, even
II he does choose elght-ounce gloves

myth at present, although John L.

should agree to the conditions of the
mill Cleveland Leader.
AS the code gives the challenged party
the choice OF weapons the fighting
editor may not only have bushels of
fun from a smuggling match with the

BRILLIANT REPORTING.

The following appeared as special
telegram III the New York W Grid of
Aug. l:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 3l.-Five thousand
persons Saw Prof. HoBE. an aeronaut. fall
from an altitude of 1900 feet in the 1vers
Park today.
He had been making ascensicns for several
weeks. descending ty a parachute
Before ascending today he said he felt that
he would not return alive
The balloon started up, and when 5000 feet
nigh HoBE was seen to pull the valve and
seize the parachute.
he ieaped out into space, and then to the
horror or all it was seen that the parachute
failed to work
1t was hoped that he would strike the
river but he struck in slough on the shore
The body went ten feet into the ground.
Men had to dig for an hour before tney
reached it.
This is a painstaking and accurate
report, except for the few following par
ticulars:
1t was at Inver Grove. not .slvers
Park" that the ascent was made.
HoBE had not 'been making Assem-
sions for several weeks 1t was his
second ascension, the first having Leen
made July 4.
He did not express the opinion that
he would not return alive"
The parachute did not fail to work.
1t worked all right, and let HoBE down
easily into twelve feet of water, where,
being unable to swim, he was drowned
Consequently, of course, his body did
not punch ten-fOot hole in the ground,
and there were no men digging for an
hour to reach it.
Aside from these few, and, as all will
agree. comparatively unimportant par
ticulars, the Worlds correspondent has
done most admirable piece of report
ing, for which he is entitled to the high
est string rate. He has deftly worked
in the great main fact that HoBE was
killed, and what does it matter to any
one-leaSt of all HOBE-whether the
minor details are absolutely correct.
There is, moreover, q noteworthy striv-
Ing after comedy effects in the report,
and the latter is, TO be entirely fair and
candid. quite as witty as it is accurate.

AS GOTHAM VIEWS IT.

The fair is a great national enter
prise, greater than anybody anticipated
at the beginning, and it will be some
thing more than mistake for congress
to withhold from it the support it needs
and Is entitled to expect.-New York
World.
The Democrats in congress who
helped to pass the worlds fair appro-
priation have done these three things
They have violated the constitution.
they have put S5,000,000 into the Repub-
lican campaign fund, and they have
settled finally and adversely the ques-
ton of Brother Steyenson's ability to
carry Illinois for the Democracy this
year.-New York Sun.
The Democratic party in the house
seems determined to make the worlds
fair failure by refusing to vote the
terday ObjectOr Holman led a band of
filibusterers against 1t until the intense
heat compelled adjournment. The PEG.
pie Will make it infinitely hotter for
Holman & Co. next November when
they get a chance at them on election
day.-New York Recorder.
A policy of obstruction has been
entered upon with a view of embarras-
sing the majority of the representatives.
If not OF defeating the will of the PEG.
pie as expressed in their action. Yet
the money will be appropriated, and
Holman, Cultivate, and their associates
Will have to face the Indignation of a
nation whose honor they were eager to
suIly before the world for the sake of
paltry political revenge. = New York
Tribune.
Every patriotic American citizen has
reason to congratulate himself upon the
action OF the house OF representatives
IN voting to appropriate $5,OO0,O00 for
the Chicago exposition. This action re-
moves. at once and forever, any fear as
to the financial strength of this vast
enterprise. The nation could well afford
to grant the loan needed to make the
undertaking worthy of the industrial
might of the richest country under the
sun.-New York Press.
The government Is too far pledged to
this undertaking TO think of shrinking
from such support as may be absolutely
needed to insure success. 1t stands
practically responsible for it in the eyes
OF foreign nations. There is too much
at stake to make it permissible for con-
greSs to palter over a contribution of
S5.000,000 at the risk of having the time
for the opening of the worlds fair ar
rive without completion of the pre-
parationS for it.-NeW York Times,

MoREs himself. This was a plain case
of flying in the face of Providence.
Anybody who wants the privilege Of a
go at the Marquis DE MoREs has only
to ask for it, and to a good many it
is rendered unsolicited. Mr.. LEVY
got his challenge by return mail,
and now he doesn't know just
what to do with it. Having virtually
asked for it he is hardly in a position to
gracefully reject it. and yet if he &C
cepts it it will seem like an unwarrant-
able usurpation OF the prior claims of
Editor MEDILL. To the marquis, too,
the situation must be trying one. He
must. indeed, have become desperate

through with him the marquis will not
especially require the services of Mr..

a YOUNG MEMS CONVENTION

a YOUNG MEMS CONVENTION.
There were many gratifying features
about Wednesdays convention, but no
one was more satisfactory or encourag-
ing than the prominence OF young men
in the proceedings. 1t was a young
mems convention, and the young men
were vigorous, alert, fair-minded, allie
and earnest Set speeches and bun
combe oratory would have been Hire
ceived in such gathering. Things
moved at rapid pace. If delegate
had anything to say, he was given
an opportunity to say it, but every rea-
sonable incentive was added to Urge
him on to the point. The result
was very happy. There were many
debates and much difference of opinion,
but brevty, directness, sententious-
ness characterized all the discussions.
To nominate full state ticket and
adopt platform in a single day are
easy enough matters when everything
has been arranged beforehand, as il had
i'll the recent Republican convention,
and where the delegates had nothing to
do except to obey the commands of their
bosses. But to get through so much
business in so short time, and to do it
really, and not merely in name, is an
evidence that wise counsels and proper
business methods prevailed. This was
because it was young mems assembly.
