THERE Is NO SLATE.

Everybody who knows anything could
name the nominees of the Republican
convention last week IN advance of the
balloting. At Minneapolis today DAN
TEL w. LAWYER will be selected to
head the ticket, not in response to any
self-seeking OH his part, nor to the die
tation of any coterie of bosses. but be-
cause he is the strongest man in the
party for the position, and because there
is unanimous demand for him to be
the candidate. No one is prophet
enough to tell who will be named with
him. There is no slate. The field is
open for the delegates to signify their
choice without coercion or direction.
All that is sought for is ticket COM
posed OF earnest, able, clean, honorable
and popular Democrats, In which every
section of the state will be fairly repre-
sented. The precedent set at Chicago
will be followed. The people will rule.
This is the right way, and the way to
victory

before, the Irish home rule question is
not the only nor the greatest issue i'm
pending. The abolition of the house of
lords is involved, and so is the begin
ming of the end of the vast, unwieldy
British empire. With the aristocracy-
which has always been the fight
ing and colonizing class of En-
gland -overthrown, and with sep
arate government in Ireland, to be fol-
lowed probably by similar demand by
Scotland, the integrity of the British
empire could not be long be preserved.
The colonies IN Asia, Australia, Africa
and America would withdraw and set
up each its own establishment, prac-
tically unchecked by the mother coun-
try-where, with the democracy in
power, domestic questions would super
sede questions of conquest and colonial
ton. This is the condition of affairs
toward which, from present indications,
tomorrow'S opening of the new parlia-
ment will be the first step. The crisi S
seems now to be somewhat further off
than it seemed Immediately after the re-
cent elections. GLADSTONE'S narrow and
Heterogeneous majority compeiS him to
hesitate, and it is now asserted that he
will not present his home rule bill un-
til spring. However that may be, it is
certain that the new parliament will be
full of vital interest, not only to Great
Britain, but to all ChriStendom and
heathendom.

FORPRESIDENT
GROVER CLEVELAND,
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
ADLAI e. STEVENSON.
NELSON'S EXPLANATION

Here is what KNUTE NELSON said in
on the MILLS bill:
1t has been the fashion of certain &c ono
mists to ascribe the marvellous growth of
this country for the past twenty-five years
wholly to our tariff laws Statistics of growth
In all conceivable forms have been paraded,
accompanied with the explanation: BE
hold the tariff This is all pure eXaggera,
ton. The chief factors have been our alb IN
dant supply OF the most fertile lands in the
world which we have freely given away
under our homestead laws. together with the
immense tide of immigration, with all its
capital OF money and muscle. While am
in favor of a fair and just protective tariff-a
low tariff, as I call i'll am under all circum-
stances opposed to a tariff that reaches be-
You'd this point-to what term high tar IF.
There is no difficulty about under
standing the drift of these words or the
condition of mind of the man who ut
tered them. He did not believe that a
high tariff meant cheap goods and big
wages. He favored the Democracy's
position Oh this question, and he voted
with the Democracy.
The GLOBE leaves it to any fair and
impartial citizen to say whether the po-
sition thus expressed can be reconciled
with the explanation Mr.. NELSON now
gives for his support of the MILLS bill.
He declares that he was not in SYM
pathy with its objects. but he helped its
passage in order that it might be sent
to the Republican senate, where he felt
sure that it would be amended to con-
form to his views. which were those of
his party.
The GLOBE also leaves it to any fair
and impartial citizen to say whether
this explanation is ingenious and hon
est, and whether the man who makes it
is as brave and straightforward as a
governor of Minnesota ought to be.

A MEETING FOR WORK.

Let us have no buncombe speeches
and no inflated rhetoric at the conven-
ton today. If anybody has anything
to say. let him say it forcibly, clearly
and simply, and then stop. The conven-
ton is not gymnasium for the dele
gates TO test their lung power at, nor
debating society for the exploiting of
cheap and superficial erudition. 1t will
be business meeting with great deal
to do, and short time to do it in. The
nomination of candidates for the SUI
preme bench will be the final piece of
work, and as important as any which
has to be discharged. The way things
have been often managed heretofore
has been to waste valuable hours in I'M
productive talk, and then to dispose of
the most vital measures in hot haste,
when the delegates are tired with the
length and WEAKNESS of the session.
This is not a wise method. Much de-
ponds on the Judgment, intelligence
and discretion of today'S convention.
Its power for good must not be frittered
away by the persistence of pr OCCASIONAL
bOreS.

CALDWELL IS DEFIED.
The Western Passenger Big
Mogul Denies Applications
to Cut Rates,
But the Burlington and the
Milwaukee Will Ignore
the Decision.
Self-DefenSe Advanced as the
Reason for the Tariffs Es-
tabliShed.
Rock Island Officials Are An
cry, and st Once File a
Complaint.

CHICAGO, Aug. "A decision issued
today by Chairman Caldwell, of the
Western Passenger association, denies
the application of the Illinois Central
and the Chicago, Milwaukee 81 St Paul
roads for authority to sell round trip
tickets to Omaha, Sioux City and other
Missouri river gateways at rate not
higher than the SIP rate to Denver and
return. The cheap rates to lower Mis-
souri, river points authorized on account
of outside competitors is not sufficient
cause, in the chairmaD's opinion, for
granting similar rates to the upper gate
ways where no such competition exists.
Notwithstanding the chairman's posi-
ton on this Ques tiOn, the Burlington
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
have both adopted rate of $3.50 from
Chicago to Omaha, to be in effect from
Aug. to Z. Their reason for doing this
is that the rate to Nebraska points is
cut by the reduction to Southwestern
Missouri river crossings. The rate to
st. Joseph is Sc, and from st. Joe to
point on the Burlington road in Nebras-
ka is $500. Consequently these COM
panies considered that they had right
to make the same through rate to the
Nebraska point by way of Omaha, and
they did so, applying the same rate to
Omaha. because higher rate to an in
termediate point would be illegal.
Whether they had right to take this
step without requesting and obtaining
auth ority from The chairman, is a Ques-
ton that will probably be settled here
after. The Rock Island people are
angry, and have filed complaint with
Chairman Caldwell declaring that the
action of the Burlington and the st.
Paul in reducing the rate to Omaha
without previous notice is clear viola
ton of the agreement

SOMERBY's STATEMENT.
The Iron Hall Supreme Justice Is
Discreet

The Iron Hall Supreme Justice Is
Discreet.
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 2. = Supreme
Justice Freeman d. Somer by, of the
Iron Hall. arrived here last Dight, and
spent most of the evening in consulta-
ton with his attorneys. He says
he has been spending the last
two weeks on an island above Detroit,
and did not hear of the application for
receiver for the order until Saturday
night, when he arranged to come here
at once. In regard to the charges made
against him personally, he said:
II propose to say nothing. The proper
tribunal to try that case is the court, and
not the newspapers. l have not read
the complaint and only know i'll gen.
eral way what the charges are,
therefore l propose to say nothing.
My accounts are all right and
] am not afraid to have thor
ough investigation Of them.'
lis it true that there is now 100000
of Iron Hall money in an indianapolis
bank and 100000 which is supposed
could not be obtained on demand?"
Mr.. Somerby smiled and reiterated
that he did not wish to talk on that sui
iect.
''Is it true that the Philadelphia
bank was rated at $4,000 Jan. 1 by
the United States Bankers Guide and
is not rated at all in the July edition."
Mr.. SOmerbY made no answer to this.
''At the time of the Keystone bank
failure in Philadelphia. did you or any
one by your authority draw from the
banks in this city 100000 and take it to
Philadelphia for the benefit of the bank
THEREOF
Mr.. Somerby replied: 81 must again
remark that on this subject the Phila-
delphia matter is an important factor in
this suit, and it would not be
proper to talk. l believe that the
assets of the bank are more
than sufficient to take care of any funds
that the order of the court on the de-
poslt0r. am gong to examine thor
oughly before talk to any one and l
have no fears for the resut.''
MIR. Somerby positively declined to
make any further statements. He will
attend a meeting of the executive COM
mittee this afternoon.

THE PROXIMITY OF MARS.

AT precisely tWenty-one minutes after
O'Clock tomorrow Thursday morning
the earth and the planet Mars will be as
near to each other as they can ever get
without infringing the rules and bylaws
of the solar system, to which they are
both attached.
This propinquity, however, will be
only comparative. There will still re-
main some 36,000,000 miles of space be-
tween the two spheres enough,
apparently, to obviate all danger of
collision. But when it is explai ned that
Mars Is sometimes as much as 234, 900, 600
miles away from the earth, this Sc, OOO,-
600 miles seems mere bagatelle in COM
pariSon. And when it is further eX-
planned that the great telescopes reduce
this distance for visionary purposes to
a beggarly $4,000 miles, we laymen at
once feel justified in demanding astron-
Omical observations of such minute
particulars as whether the Marsian
young man plays base ball and the
Marsian young woman bangs her hair.
AS matter of fact. and despite the
occasional neighborly proximity of
Mars, it has not yet been definitely
settled that that planet possesses any
men OF women, young or old. We know
that it has air and water and the other
essentials to the sustaining of animal
life, and we therefore logically conclude
that life must be there; but we have no
decisive information on this point.
When SCHIAPARELLI, the Milanese
astronomer, discovered those famous
doubled or terminated canals on
Mars in 1879, the discovery was hailed
as indisputable proof that Mars is
inhabited; but recent observations
through the powerful LICK telescope
tend to diseredit the Schiapareliian
view Of the case. Those canals" it
seems. are not doubled, and are not,
necessarily of artificial construction,
and so we are left with only general
theories to prop up the supposition that
Mars has men and canal boats. AS
tronomerS eagerly hope that the wee
sma' hours of tomorrow morning NAV
settle once for all the question whether
Mars is Inhabited. and the public also
deYotes to the subject whatever interest
it can spare from politics and horse

VAN HORNE'S VIEWS.
Retaliation Would Only Occasion
Inconvenience.


Inconvenience.
MONTREAL, Aug. mir. Van Horne,
president of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
Way company, on being asked if the
prohibitory toll at Sault Ste. Marie
would have any serious effect upon the
business of his road, said that it would
cause Inconvenience rather than damage
to the cOmpany'S interests. ut is more
convenient" he said, Ito handle our
Ontario freight by lake during the sum-
mer. and there is moreover some
economy in it, but we can handle traffic
by cur all rail routes, and find other
profitable employment for our boats"
Mr.. Van Horne denied the report that
an English syndicate was negotiating
for the purchase of the Canadian Pacific
road telegraph system. Referring to
the Higgins resolution introduced in the
senate at Washington, Mr.. Van Horne
said: The preamble to the resolution
indicates an astonishing amount of mis-
information concerning the Canadian
Pacific railway which we will undoubt-
edly set right before the interstate COM
merce commission. Such important
committee will certainly not act on such
a matter without the fullest informa-
ton,

BOLD WIRE TAPPING.
Dirty Work by Members Of the
Gang Reveals 1t

Gang Reveals It,
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-One of the bold
est wire tapping schemes which has
been attempted in several years was
successfully put through by a gang of
sharp young men Saturday in this city.
As usual, pool room keepers were the
sufferers. Had not some members of
the gang played the two principal
workers in the scheme false there is
probability that the affair would never
have become known, as it was so admir-
ably planned and executed that even
the Western Union telegraph experts
were fooled.
One Of the principal race department
circuits of the Western Union company
was tapped, returns were delayed until
bets were made by those in the scheme,
and then the results were sent by the
operators who were at the tap" Two
pool rooms lost SO heavily that they APP
pealed to the telegraph company for
relief. How much the gang made is
not known, but one of the persons OH
the inside says the amount is not less
than $4,000 and may be $1,000. The pool
rooms which suffered are in Harlem.
The circuit which was tapped has eight
or nine offices OH it, and SO skilIfuly
was the scheme managed that 10
thought of trickery was entertained
until after the races were over.

Like some fair ocean sunset-lit.
Peaceful and wide its spaces lie.
And purple shores encompass it.
A little slender silver boat
Upon its bosom is afioat.
This craft, unstayed by winds or tides
Slips out across the twilight bar;
Through rosy ripples soft she glides,
Led by a single pilot star:
With shadowy sails and fairy crew,
She drifts along the Summer blue.
She's filed from stem to stern with flowers
And Love, and Hope. and Happiness
Will aughi of what she brings be ours?
All me! If we could only guess
She rides elusive and remote,
