JOHN MI. PALMER.

Here. too. is JOHN NJ. PALMER. a good
man ana good Democrat. Ii there
were anything in his personal record
which would uufit him to head national
ticket it would have been discovered
when he made his fierce fight for the
Illinois senatorship. This was the
closest contest of recent political his
tory, liable to turn this way or that way
on the movement of hair. Had Gen.
PALMER been less invulnerable, had his
character, his ability, his patriotism
been open to assault from any side, the
enemy would have borne down upon
him, foot and dragons. ut,during the
hard campaign. renewed and continued
through many days, he carried himself
eourageously and handsomely. He held
his followers in line, aad cheered them
with the hope of victory. He proved
himself a strong. adaptable, accomplish
ing man.
His success in this struggle has given
him great prominence as presidential
possibility. His is the only lame men
toned in connection with the position
by either party which has behind it
substantial, conspicuous and honorable
war record. He was brave and capa-
BILE general, and earned title to his
country'S respect and gratitude by his
services IN the field. In civil life he has
ever been clean, honest, earnest Tor the
right, popular, and yet fearless. He has
the Endorsement of the farmers in his
own state, and the friendly feeling of
the yeomaDry everywhere. The most
conservative have confidence in his
wisdom and good Judgment, and the
radical admit that he is liberal and fair
minded. He has nothing to explain or
apologize for. His career is as an open
book, inviting examination, and full of
the story of work well done.
Why would he not make an admirable
candidate? Everybody agrees that none
better could be found if he were ten
years younger; but he is past seventy,
and it is argued that at his time of
life his powers must be on the decline,
and the apprehension OF his death or
disability before his term expired would
weaken him before the country. And
yet at the same time we read that
GLADSTONE, in his eighty-third year,
is waiting the dissolution of the SAILS
B URY parliament, that he may take the
stump and conduct his party to triumph
and Ireland 10 liberty. Age is not to be
measured by years. Gen. PALMER is
as young in spirit, as alert in body, as
vigorous i'll intellect, as man of fifty.
The Democracy is fortunate in having

A GENIAL CRANK.

Prof. and Lieut.. ToTTEN, the in
structor in military tactics at Yale col
lege. has recently published additional
works in vindicattOn of his theory that
the end of the world is near at hand. He
finds his data and crytograms chiefly,
perhaps entirely in the Bible, and he
displays rare ingenuity and persever-
ance in WORKING out his conclusions.
None have been able to demonstrate
that he is wrong in his interpretations,
and yet he is called a crank, and sur
prise is felt that he is allowed to adver-
tise himself in his writings as
member of the Yale corps of
Instruction. The explanation is that
he was detailed by the presi-
dent of the United States, under an
act of congress, to instruct in military
months. He has ceased to express his
obnoxious views in his capacity as
I teacher, at the request of the manage
ment, but does not at all abate his faith
in the predictions of a speedy termina-
ton Of mundane conditions. He fills his
position as instructor with signal ability,
and is above criticism in that sphere. He
is not at all the ideal of a crank. He is a
quiet-speaking, genial gentleman, fond
of society, his pipe and games at cards.
There is nothing very singular in
his holding religious views not
in accord with those most ap-
proved in New England at present.
1t is not a novel idea that the worl d is
to enter upon one of its convulsive and
reforming eraS at an early time. The
end was held to be at hand by the
Christians in the first centuries, and in
the past half-century impressions of
shis sort have had prevalence in very
conservative quarters. 1t is not mat
ter of very material concern to any in
diyidualS when the world reaches a
final catastrophe. There may be nat
uraI curiosity to witness the grandeSt
event to be easily conceived, but for all
practical purposes the world ends with
the individual who leaves it. There is
small profit in attempting to figure out

HIGHER STANDARD.

The fact that three members of the
British parliament have been expelled
the past year, two for criminal immo-
rality and the third for dishonesty in
financial matters, may not be an indica-
lion that the English lawmakers are
more immoral or unworthy Of conf
dence than the members of similar
babies in this country. 1t is commend
able in the British body that as soon as
the wrong acts of some of It's members
became known they were promptly ex-
PEELED in disgrace. There was no white
washing business. 1t is common in
This country to question the integrity of
members of governing bodies with
out much concern as to the facts.
but it is believed there is an in
creasing disposition to purge the legisIa-
lures, councils and boards of the wrong
doors. Chicago is oyerhauling its coun-
ell, and will perhaps consign some of
the unfaithful to the penitentiary. The
private character of the persons en-
trusted with authority may be bad. but
the public eye has rarely been more
vigilant to watch their official career.
1t is a wholesome tendency that raises
the standards of official probity, and has
an ignominous lash raised for the
bOOdlers and workers of fraud, with
striped clothing at times.

of way, and the representative has been
turned down. He has been touched on
the raw by the appointment of his
bittereSt enemies to the best offices.
One who bolted and rldiculed him has
been given the Fargo postoffiea. Now
the alarming doubt is raised that the
senators will dictate the delegates to
Minneapolis. The first blood has been
drawn by JOHNSON in the disfranchise
ment of the Fargo boilers, led by the
new postmaster, and JOHNSON is under
stood to have been impelled by his right
bower, the ponderous editor, to notify
the president that he will be apt to lose
North Dakota both in convention and
at the election if he does not shake the
senators. The puzzle now with the
president is whether JOHNSON really
holds the winning hand, or is he bluff
ing. He would be happy with either
side if lie were quite sure it were to run
the machine. There are some disad-
vantages in the possession of patronage.
1t cannot always be told just where to
put it to do the most good when one is
seeker for second term. This dilemma
of the president, so often apparent,
should call for the sympathy of those
who feel for him.

SERIOUS CHARGES.
A Creditor Alleges Fraud in the
Schweisthal Failure.


Schweisthal Failure.
CHICAGO, March 1S.-The Schweis-
thai failure resulted today in the filing
by the assignee of Schweisthal In the
superior court of confession of judy
ment for $50, 100 against the Atkinson
Steel and Spring works. located at
Spalding, near the city. The Atkinson
company's plant, with the material on
hand, is said to be worth 100000.
Attorney Pam appeared for one OF
SchweisthaPs creditors before Judge
Scales today, and charged that the in
solvent banker had prefaced his assign
ment by transferring considerable real
estate to friends. 1t was also alleged
to-day that before the bank doors were
closed intimate friends of SchweiSthal
were allowed to withdraw their depOS-
its. Following Mr.. PANS accusations,
Mr.. SchweIsthal soon put in an appear
ance, the first time since the failure,
and informed the court that, though i'll,
he had come from home to answer any
citations. though as yet none had been
served upon him. Judge Scales decid-
ed not to begin hearing of the banks
affairs until tomorrow.
The failure loomed up today bigger
and blaeker than had been even re-
moteley conJectured. Assignee Lane
hart gave out statement of assets and
liabilities that he characterized as fairly
accurate. He placed the liabilities at
$3.50, and assets at S412, 1852. Mr..
Lanehart said there were $l35.000 worth
of certificates of deposit which Schwe-
isthal is believed to hold. Besides
scheduled liabilities there is an UNI
known contingent indebtedness of
which some $1,000 has already ap-
peared. 1t is estimated that the assig-
nee will be able to pay about thirty
cents on the dollar.

AS TO FKEE COINAGE.
Secretary Smalley Takes Shot Al
Gold Appreciation.

Secretary smalIey Takes Shot at
Gold Appreciation.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Underlying all the arguments made
by the advocates of that kind of free
coinage of silver which bears the Bland
brand, appearing somewhere in every
extended discussion they put forth. is
the assertion that it is not silver which
has deprecated, but it is gold that has
appreciated. The impression they have
received of the comparative movement
of the two metals is the one the railway
traveller sometimes gets when it seems
to him he is stationary and the land
scape is moving past him. No attempted
demonstration of the truth of this
assertion has ever fallen under
my eye, but they seem to rely
on its plausibility and the common
readiness to accept assertion rather
undergo the labor of thinking out the
truth. David A. Wells, in his Recent
Economic Changes" has collated the
facts which disprove the assertion con-
cluSively. There is one other disproof
which occurs to me. Both metals are
used in the arts. Neither is money un-
til it is diverted from the market to the
miuts. Up to that time both are COM
modities. Ii either changes in value it
is the market value that determines the
change and the amount of it. In that
market we have seen silver fall from
S1.33 to 80 cents an ounce. Since 1884 it
has required 1922 grains of pure gold to
be equal in value to 81. At that rate
all the millions Of gold product Of our
mines not used in the arts have been
coined. If gold has appreciated
in value since 1878. then %. % grains
must be worth more than dollar. and
the miners of gold are foolishly parting
with their commodity at less than its
value; coming it is losing money. Is 1t
not singular that these men have never
found that out? In this connection why
do not the advocates of the Bland kind
of free coinage direct their remedy to
the only logical point and do as was
done in 1S34-decrease the number of
grains of gold necessary to make dol
lar? Why try to lift the value of the
enormous bulk of silver to level with
metal which is so far above par? Why
not try to pull gold down to the silver
level? Is not tine fact that they do not
do this, but insist on the opposite course,
evidence that the only real purpose is to
advance the price, not the value, of sill
yer bullion to that of gold? Respect
fully, z. j. SMALLEY.

THE UNION 1NDoRsED.
Work of the Jobbers' Union Duly
Endorsed.
Philadelphia Press.

Phlladelphla PreSs.
The Jobbers' Union of StPaul, MIMI,
|. has undertaken to supply the farmers
of that state and the Dakotas with the
farm help necessary to prepare for the
great crop which the early season prom
ises will again bless that 4neighborhood.
1t is a task similar to that which the
same union performed last autumn.
when the abundant harvestS of 1891
| threatened to oyerwhelm the farmers,
and large share of natures bounty
was nearly lost through lack OF hands to
care for it. The jobbePS' union stepped in,
reduced the work of supplying ma
chimes and threshing gangs to a system,
brought order out of chaos and saved
millions of bushels of graiu to the farm
ers and the country. 1t will assume the
same task this spring, and aid in pre-
pairing for another great crop as it
helped to save the last one.
The country has had striking illus
tration during the past three years how
much its general prosperity depends
upon the prosperity Of the great farm
ing region in the Northwest. The years
1889 and 1890 were lean seasons, and.
while the people of Minnesota,
the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kan
sas felt the results most sharply, the
effect was visible to a greater Oh less
degree in every neighborhood and in
every line of business. But last year
the tide of adversely turned, and an
abundance greater than the scarcity of
the two previous years was granted the
Northwestern farmers. The timelinesS
of the great harvest of 1891 is not fully
realized even vet, when the extent of
the famine in Russia has become known.
Had this country seen third consecu-
tive year of scarcity it is difficult to con-
lecture the amount of suffering it would
have brought.
Minnesota and the Dokotas contrlbut-
ed about 160,000.000 bushels of wheat
to the crop of 600,000,000 bushels the
country produced last year. This, with
the 120,000,000 bushels of oats, the So
100000 bushels of corn, the 20.000,0 900
bushels of barley, in addition to the rye,
1 potatoes, flax, hay, and cattle and the
returns to the farmers of Minnesota and
the Dakotas from the crops of 1891, was
about $3.50, 100000 after deducting what
they needed for home use and for this
years seeding. AS the farmers in Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas were equally
successful, the six states known as the
Northwest are richer today by $780,,
100000. probably, than they were in
1890. The repetition of another such a
season in 1892 will insure long period
of prosperity for the Northwest, and.
through it, for the rest of the country.
The only cloud ON the horizon is the
lack of help. A great immigration has
flowed into the Northwest since the
great crops of last year astonished the
world, but every man is intent on his
own business and has no time to help
his neighbor. Assistance must come
from outside. Here is chance for the
unemployed in Eastern cities. The
Northwest calls out to them: "Why
stand We there all idle" when there is
work enough in the corn and wheat
growing states for thousands of hands?
