CULLOM'S COLLAPSE.

Senator Cullom has made up his mind
not to oppose the denomination of Pres
ident Harrison. He is willing the latter
should be offered as sacrifice. -Proyi
dence Telegram.
Senator Cullom has withdrawn from
the presidential race. but his pictures
are still appearing in the newspapers.
The pictures are really what the SEN
ator should Withdraw.-NeWY York Ad
vertiSer.
Senator Cullom has formally with
drawn from the presidential race in
favor of President Harrison. lit is almost
a dead certainty now that Mr.. Harrison
will have an absolute Walkoyer at Min
neapolis.
The Chicago Herald has just discoy-
cred that Fifer has been against Cullom.
CulIom's withdrawal gave it an intima-
ton of the fact, but it still seems obIv-
ious of the fact that Cullom's with
drawaI was not made until after the
senator had lost his own State.-St.
Louis Republic.
Senator Cullom has Withdrawn from
the presidential race. He informs the
people of Illinois that his name is no
longer available and swings himself
into line for HARRISON, to whom he pre-
SCENTS a testimonial of good character.
The Republican trend is as clearly to-
ward the president as the Democratic
tr end is toward the eX-presi dent.-Buf-
alo Enquirer.
f Senator Cullom has withdrawn from
what be believed was the presidential
race, with recommendation in favor Of
President Harrison. But as the sena tor
was not really in the race, notwith-
standing his views on that point, his
withdrawal leaves no gap, and his rec
concentration is not OF great potency. If
Mr.. Harrison proposes to base his claim
to the nomination to the fact that Gull
lom has swung over to him. we greatly
fear his title is defective.-New York
Advertiser.

IOWA NOT DoURTFUI,.

In the Forum for this month Gov. J.
n. IRWIN discusses the question wheth-
er Iowa is doubtful state, having spe-
cial reference to the presidential con-
test. He is a Republican, and takes the
most hopeful view he can for his party.
He regards prohibition as "the one
great cause of the decay of Republican
majOrtieS" in the state. driving away
nearly all the German and much OF the
Norwegian and SWede vote. He admits
that the law has been in the cities ian
utter and absurd failure" and that the
people demand change. His article
was written before the final action Of
the legislature, and he evidently be-
lieved that the fate of the Republican
party was involved in the position in
the legislature its members took. He
expresses the opinion that unless the
popular demand for the principle of the
CATCH bill were met the state would be
utterly and irrevocably lost to the Re-
publican party. The contingency upon
which this conclusion was based has
arisen, and the opinion of Gov. IRWIN
harmoniZes with that of other sagacious
Republicans i'll that state. 1t is an en-
tirely reasonable claim that it belongs
in the Democratic column this year.

"A North Dakota Democrat Who

To the Editor of the Globe.

advocate the nomination of Grover

to read the prospects Of his nom ination.

| will tell you why l cannot vote for
Cleveland. and shall consider it my
duty to work against him if he is nomi-
mated. l have been Informed by man
from DeS Moines, Ia, that a bill passed
both houses of congress during Mr..
Cleyeland's administration for the re-
lief of the settlers along the DeS Moines
river who had been robbed of their
homes by a fraudulent river improve
ment company, and Cleveland vetoed
that bill. | have made inquiries to as

see If there was not some Objectionable
feature in it, but, so far as | can learn,
it was simply bill to pay the poor set
tiers for what the government had

them.
Now, there are about $500 settlers in
North Dakota in about the condition of
the Des Moines settlers just referred to,
and am one of them. Perhaps you
may know nothing of this case that has
been stirring up and exciting the set
tiers for the last year and half, as
/ have never seen anything in your
paper relating to it. We fear that our
case may not be settled before another
president is elected. Should it be Cleve-
land we would be in bad boat, for we

THEY WENT TOGETHER;

But Was Their Conversation in
the Next World an Unusual
One?
They were longtime acquaintance
conversing quietly as the railway train
sped along its swift way. The talk had
drifted to the probabilities tot life eter-
nal-a theme doubtless as old as eternity
itself. Neither was a strictly religious
man; both were good men as the world
goes. One was clear in his belief and
reasons for existence beyond the grave
the other equally clear in his claim that
this was 1.-THE be all and the end alp to
everything of human kind. Perhaps
the one who stood out for the life be-
yond was a trif1e better satisfied with
himself because he really did seem to
cling to something, though there wasn't
much choice between them in that
respect Unbelief has often as much
self-content as belief.
Suddenly there was binding shock /;
an instant's suggestion of pain; roar
as if the universe were rent in twain.
Then came a peaceful calm, and the
souls of the two friends, with the spirits
of others, foated TRANQUILITY over the
wrecked train and the mangled bodies
wherein they had so long been housed.
They were "dead;" killed in railway
accident. But their characteristics were
still the same, and the one VINO had
been insisting upon the idea OF life
hereafter was the first to speak:
"Well. old friend. whnt Go you think
about it now?' he said.
"You were right; perfectly right"
answered the other. ''But my first
thought is one of sorrow for you, de-
spite your triumph. How about your
family?'
A shade of dismay fell upon the first
speaker. ''Ah, my friend" said he,
''you were nearer right than myself. ]
may have sensed the fact Of an eternal
existence little better than you, but in
things earthly you saw more clearly
than l. Your life was insured and
mine was not. Your family will know
anguish when the news of all this
reaches them. but not want. Why did
not do as you SO often suggested and
urged? Why did / not insure? Why,

LET US ORGANIZE.

The GLOBE repeats its suggestion of
the other day. If Minnesota is for
CLEVELAND. it ought to show its hand
passing resolutions ascribing to him
godlike qualities. The outlook is now
very favorable for his nomination. A
little while ago the field outmatched
him. Today he leads his competitors
by mole than head.
Mr.. HILL has seriously weakened his
prestige by his exhibition of uncommon
anxiety. People are questioning his
strength, even in New York. 1t is
pointed out that his majorities were
never very large, ana that had 1t not
been for WARNER MILLER's prohibit
ton affiliations he would have been de-
feated in 1888. If popularity is to be
accurately measured by the results of
all election, Mr.. FLOWER has a follow
ing as much larger than Mr.. HILL s as
forty thousand exceeds fifteen.
This may all be very true, but it needs
to be remembered that Mr.. CLEvELAND.
too, has many enemies, in the party.
llC 10 ttiuSL llIlll- IL
is always against any man who has ever
been president. But there is also a
large opposition who feel as they do for
more intelligent reasons. They question
Mr.. CLEvELAND's Democracy. They
charge him with being pharisee, and
they think it would be just as good for
the party to elect an out-and-out Re-
publican as to elect him.
1t pays to be perfectly frank, and to
admit the existence of honest opinions
of this sort. They may have more po-
tency at Chica go than some anticipate.
How are they to be contradicted? Many
measures are aYailable for this purpose.
Two thousand Tammany braves are
expected to attend the convention and
cheer for HILL, perhaps. if it seems
worth while; or il not for HILL, then
perhaps for the gentleman from Iowa
who is accused of eating with his knife,
OF for somebody else. This gives a hint
If the Democrats of Minnesota are
sure of Mr.. CLEvELAND's party loyalty
as they are sure, they ought to show
their faith by their presence at the con
vention. and their enthusiasm for theil
favorite. 1t is only 400 miles to Oh
cago, and if 5000 Minnesota Democrats
were there they would command hear
ing. A project of this sort would be an
effective means OF getting the young
men of the state together. If every city
and hamlet will organize club to make
the trip in the interest of the great New
Yorker, we shall at once exert popu-
lar influence on the choice of a, candi.
date. and have tile machinery in order
| for valuable work in the campaign
which is to follow. This is an idea
worthy of consideration.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH

If all that is heard is true, serious di-

the influential leaders, "if you want

The story goes that the young states
man turned away III exceeding sorrow,
and sending for K. NELSON, of Douglas
county, formed with him in haste an
offensive and defensive alliance. At
this hour the Republican warriors are
glazing at each other from hostile camps
on whose tiagpoleS sit perched the
hoarse birds of discord.
The whole trouble seems TO arise
from the difficulty of satisfying three
ambitious men when there are only two
vacant posts to be filed. Neither one
is willing TO go content with a heart
felt sympathy, and yet, unless new
seat of honor is somehow provided. this
must be somebody's rate. There will be
war to the knife as long as Mr.. DAVIS

keep walking around as in a game

the senatOrship and the goyernorship,
and wondering who will be left when

THE USUAL EXCUSES
Made by Jurors to Escape Irk-
some Duties.

Made by Jurors to Escape lrk-
some Duties.
When the venire of 125 petit jursrs
was brought into the district court yes
terday there was as usual a score or
more who wanted to be excused. Among
the number were seven boys, ranging
in ages from sixteen to twenty. who were
allowed to depart. About a dozen
foreigners, mostly SWedeS, wanted to
be excused on the plea that they could
not speak English we'll enough. Judge
Brill questioned them enough to be sat
isfied that they could understand
enough for jury service, and after tell
ing them that ordinary English is
spoken in the court room, declined to
accept their excuse. Frank BiXby
stated that he is a lawyer, and expected
to be excused, but he admitted that he
is now manager of theater and
not practicing law. Judge Brill
accordingly assigned him to the
jury box for morning and afternoon
''matinees" for the next two weeks.
Thomas Sharp has been in this country
Tor more than quarter Of a century,
but is still subject of Queen Victoria,
and he was accordingly discharged. One
man said that he is earning 81 per day.
and thought he would be discharged if
compelled to do jury service for two
weeks. Judge Brill told him he would
have to serve, but that in case he should
be discharged to come and tell him.
Another man had visited Sweden last
summer, but this was not deemed a

GOV. MARsHALL's DEAL.
He Wants Damages From Goth
am Property Owner.

The action for s25, 600 damages broug hit
by William r. Marshall against Edward
r. Gilman is on trial before Judge
Egan and jury. EX-Gov. MARSHALL
was on the witness stand yesterday and
gave his version of how he was in
duced to trade real estate in st. Paul
for two brown stone front dwellings on
Fifth avenue, New York, and yrs
finally left without Ell ther the st. Paul
property or that in the metropolis. He
stated that the Fifth avenue property
was mortgaged to the extent of SCI, 900,
which was all it sold for under the auc-
tioneer's hammer. He knew of the
mortgage. but was led to believe that
the New York property was more val
liable. He admitted that he had been
accustomed TO handle real estate for
the past forty years, and had turned in
his property at rather more than
It's cash value. He bought the property
upon the representations of a mutual
agent, but was sick of his bargain when
he went to see 1t, and wanted to trade
back. Young Gilman, who. by the
way, is rather stylish eX-nayal officer,
declined to 20 back On the deal. A suit
WAS brought to rescind the contract, but

the most important results in the
history of the state. 1t is pleas
IRE to practice law in Minnesota, and
the humblest litigant is sure of full
and attentive hearing. This is because
our own Judge NELSON and our own
Judge WILKIN have always recognized
that courtesy and accessibility became
a Judge, and that to listen to the end
was not time wasted if the presentation
of the truth seemed to require it. These
two men are the authors of many valua-
BILE legal precedents, but none are more
highly priced than their contributions
in this direction, because no other can
be more lasting or better calculated to
help the attainment of justice.

strange circumstances surround
Possible Suicide.
New YORK. April 5.-A dispatch
from Washington printed this morning
stated that Lieut.. George B. Backus.
First United States cavalry, had notified
the war department that he intended
to commit suicide. 1t was also
said that Backus was missing. 1t was
stated at the Sturteyant house, in this
city today, that Lieut.. Backns slept at
the hotel last night. and went out about
9o'clock this morning. Nothing unusu-
al IN his appearance or actions was no
ticed.
His note 10 the officials is brief. 1t
simply calls the attention of the officials
to the rash deed he is about to commit,
with the curt information that he has
found it impossible to fight off an
insane desire to kill himself. The
war department has no reason
to doubt the genuineneSs of
the letter. The lieutenant was given a
sick leave of absence about three
months ago. His time was up the latter
prrt of March. 1t is believed the dread
of court-martial, and numerous debts
which he is said to have contracted are
the cause of his mental trouble.
