ABNORMAL HONESTY.

Breaking heads is favorite election
Eeering method in Great Britain, but
Immoral suasion is vigorously repressed.
You can throw missiles at prime min
lister over there, but you can't corrupt
voters by the alluring wiles of picnic
sandwiches and beer. This latter fact
has just been established by the I'M
seating of member of the lately elected
parliament on the charge of ''bribery
and corrupt practices;" which afore-
said practices consisted in giving a
check to defray the expenses of grand
picnic rendered to the prospective con-
Stituents of this generous candidate.
Another M. p. has been unseated for
the heinous offense of providing his ad-
herents with campaign hat cords
and badges. Apparently the con-
temporary British public is de-
termined to establish a reputation for
purity i'll politics which shall remain
the record for all ages and climes, and be
complete fulfiIlment of our own JOHN
JAMES INGALLS, iri1escent dream. The
effectiveness of the stern example made
OF these two cOntumaciOuS cOrrupterS
of the British suffrage is somewhat i'm
paired, however, by the fact that both
of the unseated members are Conserva.

coincidence; and far be it from the
purpose of the GLOBE to charge the
Liberal party of Great Britain with fol-
lowing the precedent established by the
Republican party in this country in the
respect of determining election contests
On lines of partisan advantage rather
than on the strict merits Of the several

JAY GOULD is not the hopeleSsly de-

prosperity, in that he yields a power
which could shake our money centerS

general panic from which the business

to recover.
OF course, there Is no probability of
MIR. GOULD'S exercising this trench
dOuS power to effect a general ruin in
which he himself would be necessarily

may turn this mighty force into an av-
alanche of destruction. Mr.. GOULD is
reported to be very sick man. Already
the GOULD stocks have declined in SYM

STATE PRESS TIPS.

1t may be true. as the Duluth News
Tribune says, ut was Democratic
year and we had to go down. But it
makes a large difference whether we
accept the result i'll philosophical
spirit. because we cannot escape, or do
so with evident relish, as the Duluth
Republicans who voted against Searle
do.-Verndale Journal.
These are very strong arguments in
favor of an extra session, and yet we do
not think that the eXigencies are such
that the president would be Justified in
taking such precipitate action, for such
course would undoubtedly disturb
business relations much more than the
delay from March to December, 1893
-Crookston Times.
1t is rumored that George G. Thorpe,
one of the defeated Republican candi-
dates for the legislature, contemplates
contesting the election of d. p. O'Neil
to the legislature. We sincerely hope
that there is no foundation for this
rumor, as contest would result only in
i'll feeling and expense. Mr.. O'Neil was
fairly and honestly elected, and until
we have positive evidence of the fact
we shall refuse to believe that Mr..
Thorpe would endeavor to secure seat
in the legislature in this way.-Wheaton
Gazette-Reporter.
The Polk County Journal asserts that
"Minnesota is all right. and Republicans
are gaining ground in the state" After
comparing the vote for the Harrison
electors this year with that of four years
ago we are obliged to agree with our
esteemed and well-posted contempo-
rary. They are gaining ground like the
boy did who attempted to climb the hill
by taking one step forward and two
backward. -Crookston Times.

The falling off of the Peoples party

Indeed the wonder is that so large a

There is not one Peoples party man in

Wouldn't it be really shocking If it should
turn out that Hon. W. D. Cornish is barking

trict judgeship?
If it should prove that man who has been
puffed as a profound lawyer did not know
enough of the law to direct a proper begin

would it not be another indication that the

FIGURING PLURALITIEs.

Those newspapers which offered trips
around the world, to South America
and the worlds fair to the person who
should come nearest to guessing the
exact plurality of the candidate winning
the presidency are having an uneX-
pectedly serious time in coming to de-
cision. The usual rule, and the one
hitherto accepted by everybody, is to
make candidates plurality in state
the difference between the highest
elector on the winning and the highest
elector on the losing ticket. This
works pretty we'll In most of the states
of the East and South, but COM
ing to Ohio there is seri-
Gus hitch. The highest Republican
eector beats the highest Democratic
elector 1,072. but the highest Democratic
elector is elected, because he bias more
votes than the lowest Republican elector.
Latest returns from North Dakota in
dictate that the highest HARRISON
elector has beaten the highest WEAVER
elector by 119 votes. This highest
WEAVER elector, however, is elected,
because he beats the lowest HARRISON
elector. An exactly similar state of
things exists in Oregon, where one
WEAVER elector slips through; and in
Kansas. although nine WEAVER electors
get in with pluralities averaging 400,
one HARRISON elector wins because of a
mistake in two counties in the spelling
of an electors name. California also has a
complication, and itnow looks as though
one HARRISON and eight CLEVELAND
electors have been chosen. Who shall
decide in these cases upon what basis
the calculation as to pluralities shall be
made?

DRY Results.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 1.-The
excessive Commandment conducted here
last night under the direction of
Gen. Dryenforth, with view of pro-
ducing rain, was without satisfactory
results. The only apparent effect
was the formation of a cloud overhead
at IL O'clock last night, but southerIy
wind soon dispersed all prospect of
rain from that source. There was a
very light shower at O'Clock this
morning which Gen. Dyrenforth was
responsible for. The weather has been
perfectly clear, however, all today with
no indication OF rain. The lombard
ment lasted for ten hours, and was ter
rife. Ten hydrogen-oXygen balloons,
125 shells and $4,000 pounds OF roseltye
were exploded. Gen. Dryenforth claims
the test was successful from a scientific
standpoint. John Ii. Picking and John
w. DlckerSon, the hackers of the ex-
periments. left tonight for Chicago.
They stated before their departure that
Gen. Dyrenforth would make further
experiments at rainmaking at Cham
berlain, S. d., next summer.

WHERE is MISS sPEAKMAN?
A Legacy of $4,000 Awaits the
Lady'S Pleasure.


ALLIANCE, O., Dec. IAN extraor-
binary legacy appears in the will of
j. c. Marshal. wealthy widower of
Minerva, twelve miles south of this
city, and still more singular feat
ure of the case is that he
relies ON the power of the press
to make his bequest effective. Marshal
is in falling health and childless, and
makes his will public now with the re-
quest that the newspapers will help him
to locate the principal beneficiary. In
memory of his dead wife, he bequeaths
real estate worth $4,000 to Miss
Della Speakman, a lady whom he
never knew, but whose name APP
cared among those registered as dele
gates to the state convention OF Societies
of Christian Endeay0r held at East
Liverpool in October, 1891. He does
this because her name is the same as
that of his departed wife before their
marriage. At the death of Miss Speak
man, providing she can be found, the
legacy is to go toner husband or next OF
kin. In conclusion the will says:
"This give to an unknown friend,
with the hope that she will respect and
honor the name of my only earthly
friend"
Mr.. Marshal is prominent citizen of
the southern part of the county. aud the
nature OF his bequest has excited wide
spread comment. His attorneys are max
Ing every effort to locate Miss Speak
man.

SONG OF YOUTH AND AGE.

From lips of beauty flow;
When youthful feet right gayly bound
Where thorn nor tare appears,
j How joyously the days go round.
= The weeks, the months, the yearsl
! The youth beholds with fearless ess
:, The lofty hill of fame,
- And hopes upon its summit high
Ere long to carve his name.
K Jov thrills his heart; in every sound
Z Fame's ''bugle-call'' he hears.
And merrily the days go round,
The weeks, the months. the years!
The lady of his love must prove
A queen of beauty rare;
u No vain coquette, but wise in love,
And true as she is fair.
Amid the tender stars at night
- He sees her dear eyes shine,
q As, with trusting, fond delight
He worships at her shrine!
= When on the furrowed cheek of age
Cares hollow wrinkles show,
The old man turns his life s last page
With trembling hand and slow.
Dark lower the skies: in every sound
Deaths mournful dirge he hears;
And YEARLY the days go round,
me WEEKS tue HioAtus, Ale years!
The old man sees through blurred ey
The lofty hill of fame,
Where cherished hopes in ruin lie,
Where none may mark his name.
One little, lonely, nameless mound
At every step appears
AS mournfullv the days go round.
The weeks, the months, the yearsl
The lady Of his love. alasl
Hath closed her gentle eyes.

To show him where she lies.

GULF WEEDS.

Where the gulf weeds go drifting, drifting
In the strange path of the seas,
Caught by the swirling eddy.
Tosied by the madcap breeze,
A myriad tiny creatures
Go sailing away with these.
On pod, and frond. and streamer,
On rosy and purple spray,
In tile mesh of the lovely seaweeds,
Sailing and drifting away
To the shores of they-know not whither,
In the happy far-away.
Barnacle, prawn and scallop.
Mollusks with pearls and rings,
Crayfish clicking their music,
Shining, unnamed things,
And the Argonaut, brave sailor,
With the old-time myths it brings.
They know what the waves are saying,
They hear the sea birds scream:
And the white ships loom and vanish
In the wonderful tropic stream
And they sing and chatter together
Like voices in dream.
And if we were mermaids or mermen,
We, too, would sail at our ease.
On the raft of the lovely seaweeds
Drifting away with these,
With the tiny creatures about us.
Through the strange path OF the seas.
While barnacle. prawn and scallop
Would chatter and sing and play,
Argonaut, mollusk and crayfish,
AS we went drifting away
To the shores Of We-know- II OF whittier,
In the happy far-away.

GUILT.
A murky light the garden sleeps

A murky light the garden sleeps
A snake-like shadow shudderlng creeps
Across the crumbling ground;
The stiffness deep at times is blurred
By cries of some leaf-hidden bird
To wakefulness by wild hawks stirred;
Then silence broods profound.
A crimson bowl the poppy lifts,
And light that through its fringes drifts
Is red as elots of blood.
And bright as crime with awful glare,
And dark as guilt and black despair,
Nastur;iums from their green leaves stare
Upon the colling flood.
The gladlolus flames with fire
That seems some felon's funeral pyre,
That lights his soul to hell;
And yonder lurid throbping rose.
That with its clotted petals grows,
Might be heart that fiercely CLOVIS
Meath hatred's awful spell.
And here. o love. it's well we stand
And closely clasp each burning hand
In PASSIONS frances wild.
No gentle buds should flash their bloom.
And spill rain of sweet perfume;
But only blood-like blossoms bloom
For love by guilt defled.

no local issue in Connecticut, none in

states. Concerning Illinois the claim is
