COMPLETE SOMERSAULT
Made by the Republican Party fin
the Past Few Years

Made by the Republican Party fin
the Past Few Years.
To the Editor of the Globe.
1t is curious to look back over the
political revolutions which have taken
place in this country within the last
fifty years. When 1 came on the stage
there were two parties, Wings and
Democrats, separated, not By geograph-
lcal lines, but on the great political
issues of that day. The Whig party was
absorbed by new party, known as the
American or Know Nothing. This latter
was secret organization, and one Of
the planks in its platform required
every member to vote against any
Catholic or any foreign-born sub
ject for any Office to which such as
pired. The Democratic party made war
against the Know NotilingS, and con-
tended that no religious test should be
required, and that no distinction should
be made against an American citizen
wherever born. On this issue the
Know NOthings were defeated and lit
orally wiped out, but they soon rallied
and formed the Republican party of to-
day. See the revolution. From their
hatred to foreigners, or men of foreign
birth, they have changed front. and now
nominate in this state a man of foreign
birth for the highest Office in the state.
Such a nomination on the part of the
Democratic party would have been con-
sistent, but is wholly inexplicable Oh
the part OF the Republicans. the former
bitter enemies OF every man not born
on American soil. Is this conversion
genuine? Is it not rather due to the
fact that the party leaders are scared
and wish to secure the Swedish and
Norwegian vote? shall be egreatly dis
appointed if the free and brave men of
Scandinavian birth are to be caught by
this fiimSy trick of the leaders of this
know-nothing party. Some of our most
worthy citizens are of French descent,
but they are not numerous enough to
form an important factor in state cleo
tons. and hence they are ignored by the
Republican party.
Let every voter this fall cast his bal
lot for the Democratic candidates, as
they stand for party which knows no
nationality and embraces within it's
folds, in one harmonious whole, all
natioualitieS and all religions

A DELICATE UNDERTAKING.

The committee which had in charge
the task of assigning the prizes at the
Scottish games yesterday afternoon had
very delicate duty TO perform. No
one is justified in criticising its methods
unless he clearly understands the diff
culties with which it had to contend. A
number OF the loyal friends of the asso-
citation under whose auspices the games
were given had generously contributed
valuable articles to be used as rewards
OF merit for the victorS in the various
contests. These friends were, for the
most part, engaged in some industrial
pursuit. myths city, and selected these
gifts from their own stocks in trade. A
Jeweler sent lady'S brooch, druggist
bottle Of perfume. a butcher ham, a
shoemaker pair of shoes, restaurant
meal ticket, tailor pair of pants,
and so on. The programme of the aft
ernoOn was q long and varied one.
There was a girls race of a hundred
yards, an egg and spoon race for mar
red ladies, sack race, putting the
shot, and a standing high Jump contest,
Highland fling and many other inter-
esting features. The successful conf
petitor in each of these was to receive
some one of the articles contributed
as prize, and the questien for the
committee to determine, for example,
was whether the victor in the fat mans
race should get ham or baby car
riage, or what he should get. and
whether the victor in the race for ladies
over forty-fiye years of aye should get a
box of cigars or meal ticket, or what
she Should get. All this required much
reflection and research. a strong move
ment developed in the committee for
giving the victor in the fat mems race a
bottle Of perfume for the comfort of the
rest OF the crowd, bat this was ulti-
ately voted down, on the ground that
the bottle was not. big enough to be of
much service in this direction. Some
rude jOkers wanted to have the baby's
carriage set aside for the victor in
the young ladies' race, but the majority
was divided between making it the
prize i'll the egg and spoon race for
married ladies and the race for
ladies' over forty-ive years Of age.
This difference was happily settled.
because there turned out to be no
ladies over forty-five years of age, and
this event had to be abandoned for
want of entries. Scotch ladies are like
ladies Of other nationalities. They all
either die before they reach the age of
thirty, or, If they do not do this. they
anyhow grow no older. 1t bothered the
committee also somewhat to dispose
OF the PAIR of pants, but. as the high
est kicker in the Highland fling con-
test was likely to sacrifice most of his
wearing apparel in the vigor of his
dance, it was thought that the competi-
ton here would be more enthusiastic
and cheerful if the participants would
feel that their loss was likely to be re-
placed, and so the trousers were re-
served for them. This is capital illus
tration of the tact and intelligence with
which the prizes in general were dis
tributed. The GLOBE has examined
the entire list, and cannot see how any
committee could have met RESPONSE
bility of this serious character in more
satisfactory fashion.

is MARS ENHARITED ?

Despite the distractions of politics
and other mundane affairs, our neigh
boring planets are coming in for fair
share OF attention these midsummer
days and nights. Mars, in particular, is
exciting our interests, and the perennial
problem, SIS Marriage a Failure?' is
taking a much-needed rest while we
consider, "Is Mars Inhabited?"
The Star-gazerS are as yet unable to
give us definite answer to this impor-
tant problem. They have, however,
reduced the proposition to a point
where the burden of proof rests on
those who deny the existence of animal
life on Mars. They have demonstrate
that, in its possession of an atmosphere.
water, ETC., Mars is quite as habitabie
as our own planet earth; and, therefore.
1t is natural to suppose that where life
giving and life-sustaining conditions
exist there must be life in some form.
That the form of life on Mars-if there
be any-is of higher degree of devel-
opment than Our own Is also a nat
Ural supposition, since that planet is
fully twice as old as the earth.
ist as we'll as the astronomer, and
Mr.. EDISON, who is neither the one nor
the other, but only a plain ''invention
crank" himself takes deep interest in
the question. Inspired by the plausible
theories of III. FLAs1MARIoN, who is
the JULES VERNE of astronomy, Mr..
EDISON is said to have given serious
consideration to the project of signaling
to Mars by means of huge electrical
appliances. Moreover, there is the in
evitable woman in the case-a Nine.
GUzMAN, Of Paris, who died year or
so ago, and whose will contained be-
quest of $4,000 to whomsoever should
first establish communication with
Mars. This is dazzlIngly munifcent
sum. of course, for so trihiug a service.
and it should put the star-gazers OF
their mettle. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that the reward will be claimed
while the centuries are in their teens.

Courier.
Juy Gould seems to be enjoying the
attractions of Idaho as much as he did
those of Texas. Both places are rather
more conducive to health and longevity

Boston Herald.
The best proof OF the excellence of

his son that he is spending most of his

No one ever heard of a fisherman who
could catch trout twenty inches long

other less enjoyable pursuits.-New

A MISSOURI PROPOSITION.

One of the most brainless propositions
evolved out of all this worlds fair hub
bub is the proposition to include in the
list of exhibits the house in which
JESSE JAMES was killed by Bob FORD.
If Chicago is alive TO her own best
interests (and she usually is) she will
frown down this silly scheme at once.
10 be just. there is no evidence that she
ever seriously countenanced it. 1t is a
project that is entirely Missourian in its
origin and Enthusiastically Missourian
i'll its callber. Its promoter includes
himself in the exhibit as a guide and
lecturer, whose mission it should be to
Inform the aWe-struck public just where
BOB stood when he pulled the trigger,
and just where JEssE's head struck
the floor when he fell. Doubtless some
realistic bloodStains would be scattered
around, and possibly JESSE and BOB
would be reproduced III wax for the edi-
fcation of lovers of the morbid.
If the worlds fair is to be the strictly
educational institution on which Chi
cago bases her opposition to Sunday
closing, no JESSE JAMES or BOB FORD
trophies need be included. Education
in that line can still be entrusted to the
ubiquitous dime novel and the Eden

THE NEXT POPE.

Despite all the kind contradictions of
his household and intimates, it is inev-
liable that the physical powers of PoDe
LEO Kill. must have nearly reached
the point of exhaustion His life has
been an unusually laborious one, and
his delicate physique has only by assid-
uous care been thus long enabled TO
support the tremendous activity of his
wonderful brain. 1t is, in fact, appar-
ent that the brain has now turned the
tables OH the body, and is supporting
the latter by sheer force of indomitabIe
will power. The will must before long
break down under the strain, and then
the Church of Rome will be face to face
with the problem of selecting sue
ceSsor TO one OF the ablest pontiffs in its
category.

cerned in the question of a successor to

cessor to Pope LEO should be chosen
and should raise the banner of revolt
against King HUMBERr's temporal
power in Rome, Protestants and Cath

take up the now slumbering feud. For
this reason it is imperative that a man
OF equally cool and sound Judgment
should succeed the cautious and able

sentative OF the anti-Quirinal sentiment

between Italians and foreigners, there
Will be none but an italian elevated to

opinion has settled on Cardinal PARoc-
CHI, vicar general of Rome, as the next

the anti-Quirinal sentiment, he is a safe
