ruptcy. The land is exhausted and the
agricultural system is a hopeless failure.
The peasant and the gentleman are as widely
separated as if they belonged to different
nations. Instead of deriving profit from his
emancipation, the peasant is poorer than
ever before. and in many districts whole
villages are at the point Of starvation. The
present distress has brought matters to a
climax, vet nobody knows the remedy.
The Nihilists are eagerly taking advan-
tage of the discomfort to extend their pro-
paganda. Practiced reformers are divided
on the question of what should be done to
remedy the evils. Some still rely on the
paternal guardianship of the Zweski Nat
chankis. Many hold that the remedy will
be found in the application of the land
system of Henry George, while others
would have the Mir Communal assembly,
abolished. A few even suggest the intro
duction of law of primogeniture for the
peasants, and thus prevent the subdivision
of the land. The supporters of Henry
Georges system declare that the mobiles
own more land than they can till, and the
Government has enormous tracts of arabic
waste land. They favor the naturalization
of the land

ST. PAUL THREATENED

The Pioneer Press is reduced to the
desperate necessity of threatening
st. Paul with dire visitations of
KNUTE NELSON'S wrath in case
that bellicOse individual is elected
to the governorshlp in the face
of big Ramsey county majority
for LAwLER. Our contemporary urges
that MIR. NELSON will, if elected, abuse
and maltreat unhappy st. Paul most
frightfully for daring to roll up big
vote for her favorite son. As matter
of common precaution, admonishes the
Pioneer Press. st. Paul must waive
principles and preferences and vote for
this bold, bad man, who might do us
up' if we offended him IN our exercise
OF suffrage rights tomorrow.
While approaching the considerable
spirit of this warning, the GLOBE can
not but feel that its contemporaries
nerves have been badly shaken up by
recent and by prospective events, and
that, perhaps, 1t sees things in some
what exaggerated light. That Mr.. MEL
SON Is a formidable parsonage when he
gets his warpaint on has been conclu-
sively demonstrated by his novel meth
cd of bringing down his houses, and we
will even admit that he has face

MARK THE BALLOT COR.
RECTLY.

The Democratic state central COM
mittee has printed for public circulation
a hundred and fifty thousand specimen
ballots, on which are correctly marked
the names of the Democratic candidates
for state offices. The official ballot
this year is confusing thing, and has
been made doubly so by the illegal
doctoring it has received at the hands OF
FREDERICK p. BROWN, the Republican
secretary of state. Ii man feels any
doubt about his ability to prepare his
ballot when he gets IN the booth so that
it will give an accurate expression to
his honest will, he should get one of
the specimen ballots, and carry it with
him for the purposes OF guidance. In
any event, let every Democrat remember
that in order to vote for GROVER CLEvE-
LAND he must vote for nine presidential
electors. Five of them are grouped to-
gether on the official ballots, beginning
with the name of ROBERT A. SMITH.
The other four will be found scattered
through the list of Populist electors,
and can be identified because after each
of them are printed the words ''CLEYE-
LAND Democrat" Let every Demo
crat be careful and see to it that he Is
not robbed of his vote by making

gentleman, of whom Minnesota would

A vote for DANIEL w. LAWYER

A vote for DANIEL w. LAwLER is a
vote for free wheat market, for law

expenses, for the regulation of railroads,

hauling of the capitol and cleaning up
of the departments, which are covered
with the dust OF quarter of a century.

vote against the selfish domination OF
the rich. and vote for equal rights to
all and special privileges to none.
A vote for DANIEL W. LAWYER is
vote to turn the rascals out.

JACOBUS INTERPRETERS.
He Tells His Deputies What They
Are Sworn to Do.


NEW YORK, Nov. Gu nited States
Marshal John w. Jacobus was very
busy today. He summoned before
him the chief deputy marshals
whom he has appointed for each
assembly district, and those he had
closeIed with him for an hour in one Of
the court rooms of the federal building.
Before diSniSSing them. copies of mis-
final instructions were handed to his
deputies, as follows:
Certain evl-dIspoSed persons are at
tempting by published proclamations
and secret circulars to deceive the pub
lie as to the duties and powers or the
United States marshals OH election day.
The evident purpose is t. cause
disorder and to lead honest C IT,
zens to refrain from giving that
support the officers of the United
States government which the supreme
law of the land demand from them"
Then follows a definition of the legal
status of the deputies and this adj
monition:
Each of you will remember that he
is all officer of the government of the
United States of America You are not
to act as partlsans, and aside from cast
ing your votes as your individual pref
erences may dictate, you are not to be
the agents or instruments of any
political party. You are to protect,
however, supported as you are
by all the power of the national govern
ment, every lawful voter within your
precinct In the exercise of his sovereign
right of franchise. You are to permit
no evil-disposed person TO interfere
with OF interrupt the discharge of your
duties, You are to act with pru-
dence, forbearance and modera-
ton, but also without fear or
favor. You are to support the federal
supervisors and see 10 it that every vote
is counted as cast, and are to support
them in protecting the ballot box
against fraudulent aud Illegal ballots.
If illegal or fraudulent action shall
be supported by any show OF force,
you are to command the assistance
of all lawful citizens and call
upon men without stint or hesitation,
for whatever additional force may be
needed to preserve the peace, protect
the citizens and guard the ballot box"
Marshal Jac0bus also wrote letter
in reply to the Democratic lawyer who
stated in effect that an arrest or any
person attempting fraudulently to vote,
before the vote is cast is illegal and
contrary to the opinion of Judge
Brewer. The marshal states:
"lf the ex-parte opinion of Judge
Brewer upon the question submitted
admitted OF a construction such as you
insist, which is denied, it would be
against the express and unqualified
language OF the statute, which is as
plain as the English language can
make it. and therefore easily under
stood by a layman as we'll as a
legal mind. In conclusion, l beg leave to
say that no one respects the courts
more fully than myself. but can learn of
no decision of the United States or other
courts sustaining your contention. The
instructions already given are not only
in accordance with the plain law, but

BUT ONE REMEDY.

Not an iOta of evidence has been pro-
duced in refutation of the GLOBES ex-
pose of the wheat ring. The robbers
stand completely unmasked at last, and
their nefarious alliance with the Repub-
lican party in Minnesota is barred to
the public gaze The leaders of the
ring are the state leaders of the Repub-
lican party. The executive and legis.
lative branches of the state government
have both been pIostituted to the aims
OF these rapacious plunderers. The
conspirators have fattened on their
spoils, while the farm mortgages mount
ed up. Millionaires have been made
Ill the handling of farm products.
while the farmers themselves have
been reduced to the desperate ne
cessity OF straining every faculty.
in order to barely make ends
meet. A systematic extortion has
been practiced, unparalleled since the
days when Rome farmed out the rev.
enues of her provinces to greedy ruff
fans.
There is but one remedy for this, as
there has been but one shield for if.
Republican ring rule must be ended in
Minnesota. There must be a new deal.
a clean sweep. A governor and a legis.
lature pledged to secure free market
for wheat must be elected tomorrow

KNUTE NELSON.

THE GLOBE regrets that considerations
relating TO the personal fitness or unfit
ness of any candidate should obtrude
themselves into the campaign in Mime
sofa, but stubborn facts must be faced,
however unpleasant the task. BY his eX-
hibition of ungOvernable temper at
Elbow Lake, and by his many similar,
though less violent, outbreaks during
his stunning tour of the state, KNUTE
NELSON has demonstrated his total I'M
fitness for the high Office to which he
aspires. The eXactions of campaign
work are severe and trying, no doubt,
but not sufficiently so to excuse the
series of discourtesies practiced by Mr..
NELSON and eliminating in his brutal
assault on man whom all reports unite
in describing as an intelligent, peacea-
bic, well-behaved citizen, and who, far
from seeking quarrel, actually held a
child in his arms at the time the assault
was made.
The governor of Minnesota is the
head of the state. the chief parsonage
in it. He should invariably be a man
of whom the state could be justly
proud, and who would be worthy to
stand for its best citizenship. He should
be man of unusual ability and un-
tlinching integrity, of course, but he
should be more than this He should
possess also the courtesy, dignity and
forbearance requisite to the administer
ing of his high Office with credit to him.
self and honor to his state.
Has KNUTE NELSON these attributes?
His record demonstrates with painful
completeness that he has not. His ele-
walton to the governorship would un-
Guestionably be followed by conse-
QuenceS notifying to every citizen of
Minnesota who has just pride in his
state.

CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM.

A vote for CLEVELAND is a vote for
tariff reform. By tariff reform is meant
the gradual reduction of taxation, so
that the commodities which we who
live in the Northwest have to buy will
cost less. Tariff reform means increased
comfort to every Minnesota farmer and
increased prosperity to every Minnesota
merchant.
A vote for HARRISON is vote of ap-
prevail for the MCKINLEY bill, and a
direct authorization of a still further
increase of our national impost duties.
Should the Republicans be victorious
tomorrow, they will not stop with the
achievements already made. They will
go on and pile up taxation mountain
high. The profits of protectionism go to
the Eastern manufacturers. Its burden
is carried by the wage earners and the
Western farmers. A vote for HARRI-
son means higher price for whatever
we have to buy, and smaller price for
whatever we have to sell.
Ii Minnesota is wise, she will give her
electoral vote to CLEVELAND.

ApREposTERous IDEA.

1t is said that some people will vote
for Col. KIEFER for congress because
they believe that this district should be
represented in Washington by st.
Paul man.
This seems too preposterous to be
true. Col. KIEFER has lived in st. Paul
most of his life and has always been a
cipher at home. How is it possible that
he should represent this city in any
sense abroad?
The next house Of representatives
will be Democratic. No matter what
the issue in other respects, everybody
agrees that the Democracy will have a
majority there.
st. Paul is Democratic city. Ev en- if
Col. KIEFER were man Of force OF
character and conspicuous ability, what
hearing or consideration would he get
in Democratic house as Republican
member from Democratic city?
III anybody wants st. Paul to be
tongue-tied and without spokesman
for two years, he should vote for Col.
KIEFER. If he cares for the honor and
progress of st. Paul, he should vote for
Capt. CASTLE.
