NUMBER ONE HARD.

The speech of Gen. j. II. BAKER
delivered at Madison Lake last evenin g
and printed in the telegraphic columns
of tOday's GLOBE, presents the facts
and the evidence of an intolerable i'm
position put upon the wheat growers Of
Minnesota by Republican state officials.
The case is put too clearly and con
v~incingly for refutation. Through the
assiduous endeavor of Republican Off
Gals, and at the beheSt of the milling
and elevator combine, the best grade of
Minnesota wheat, the old standby, No.
l hard, has practically disappeared.
From SO per cent Of the total crop of
1SS6-s7 No. hard has dwindled to a
beggarly 5 per cent in 1890 81. And
this in the face of the notorious fact that
better wheat, as we'll as an enormously
larger crop, was raised in this state in
1S90-9l than for many years previous.
There is small encouragement~for
MinnesOta's agricultural industry when
the best grade of its most important
product can thus be wiped out of exist
ence through the Vaccinations Of I'M
%scrupulous politicians doing the bidding
OF a robber ring. But Minnesota farm
ers have voted this outrage upon them
selves. and they alone can vote them
selves redemption from it.

CHIYALRY

For a sorrow like that which Presi-
dent HARRISON is enduring at this hour
there are no consultations: but if there is
anything which can help him to carry
his burden with fortitude, it is the
worlds sympathy, of which he has re-
celved so mary sincere expressions.
The rancor Of party strife has been
stilled during the past few weeks by the
knowledge of Mrs. HARRISoN'S illness,
and now that she is dead. the heart of
the nation shares the grief of its head.
1t is a gratifying feature, indicative of
our social and intellectual development,
that bitterness is no longer a necessary
element OF Il political campaign. For
this the manliness and chivalry of GRO
lei CLEVELAND are primarily re-
sponsible. The man who refused to
allow his wife'S name to be dragged
into the dust of a party contest,
and who declined to visit the
dedicatory exercises at Chicago because
his com petitor'S domestic affiiction COM
PEELED his absence, has set 4 high stand
ard Of decency and decorum lii such
affairs. The first telegram of condo
lence which reached the White house
was from the Democratic candidate and
Democratic leader, and Democratic
clubs the country over have followed
his illustrious example. The tactics of
narrOwness and scandal have been sup
planted by the methods of high-mindcd-
ness and courtesy. American public
life has made a distinct advance since
GROVER CLEVELAND entered it.

GEN. EWING.

No one of the orators from abroad
who were heard at the Democratic rally
night before last made a more favorable
impression on his audience than did
Gen. EWING, of Chicago. lie came to
Minnesota a stranger, whose reputation
had not preceded him, but he quickly
showed that he has Ill full measure the
qualities of a successful campaign
speaker. He has, for one thing, the ca
pacity to understand instinctively the
temper and disposition of the men he is
addressing. He put himself at once in
touch with our people. and after the
first few sentences lie talked as an
old acquaintance amid his familiar
friends. Of scholarly appearance, and
with a strong, flexible voice. he had no
difficulty in commanding respect and
attention. He advanced his points with
the mastery logic of Z trained lawyer,
and clothed them with an aptnesS of
language and a happy fund of illustra-
tive anecdotes which made them at nee
Ineligible and attractive. 1t is uni
versally admitted that Gen. Ewing
bore off the honors of the evening. and
it is to be hoped that he will be heard
0 o again and often in st. Paul.

THE DENOCRACY'S CiNDI-
DATES,

There is nothing surprising about the
news that t~wenty-three of the faculty
of Amherst college. out of a total of
thirty-three, will vote for GROVER
CLEVELAND. Their manifesto gives
reasons enough for this course. They
say that they admire GROVER CLEvE-
LANDS courage, his c%onstancy, his
public spirit, his studious neglect of his
merely personal interests where they
conflict with the calls of public duty.
They say that they remember his tariff
message, his pension vetoes and his let
ter against free silver as conspicuous
instances of his disregarding personal
considerations for the public good. and
they urge all their fellow citizens to
give him their hearty support.
Sentiments like these prevail not
alone at Amherst college. The great
| part of the faculty at Harvard univer-
sity and at Yale university will vote the
Democratic ticket this fall. The whole
country admires and respects the De-
mocraey'S Standard-bearer. Republican
efforts to stir up alarm over the posi-
bility of his election fall fat, because
| every one has confidence in his wisdom,
his patriotism and his conservatism.
The party's leaders in state and nation
are above r%eproach, and are worthy of
the victory which awaits them.

HENRY AND CHAUNCEY.

In both oratiOnS delivered at Chicago
there was struck a strong note Of pa
triotism which dominated the thought
of each and Inspired responsive senti-
ments in the minds OF the MYRIAD
audience. And this, after all. was the
overmasterlng sentiment Of the day
Detroit Tribune.
The celebration at Chicago would be
notable for the orations pronounced by
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Henry Watterson
and Archbishop Ireland if for no other
reason. The utterances of these men
were characteristic and typical, and in
spirit and tenor evince the inspiration
OF the occasion.-SiOuX City journal.
Henry Watterson gained golden opin-
ions by his great grafton at Chicago.
Their is hardly another orator who
would have accepted the invitation on
so short notice. But the brilliant jour
nallSt did not hesitate. His Grafton is a
lofty and patrioticI performance, felici-
tous in style and diction, inspiring in
Observation-Disclosures News.
1t must make the calamity howlers
ashamed of their small. bucolic souls to
read the majestic, thrilling and opti-
mlStic OrationS of Chauncey UepeW and
Henry WattersOn, delivered at Chicago.
they Will remain masterpieces of elo-
quence FOR many years, and prophetic
visions Of the glorious destiny OF this
immortal republic.-Omaha Bee.
Col. Henry Watterson's dedicatory
Grafton at Chicago deserves to rank with
the very best efforts of its class in this
or any other country. Throughout. it
was a lofty effort splendidly sustained,
eloquent with fine feeling, brought out
IN forceful language. The wonder is
that the worlds fair management did
not earlier discern the colonel. He
would have done himself and the occa-
sion even greater justice had he had
time for ampler preparation. As it is
he astonislled and electrified the whole
country. st. Louis S%tar-Sayings.
Mr.. Depew is always at his best when
he has a theme which requires historical
retrospect and philosophical exposition.
HIS Columbian grafton, in nobility of
thought, in analytical power, in lucid
ity of style. and in perfection of literary
finish, eXcels the many admirable adj
dresses which ne has made on similar
occasions. 1t was oratory with elements
of stateliness betting so grand an &C.
caSlon, and was characterized alike by
elevation Of thought and symmetry of
form. Mi. Watterson's Grafton was
more dlscurSiye in method. more rhetor-
ical in style, and less comprehensive in
scope. but it was not without fire and
passion, and was delivered with charac-
teristic fervor and energy.-New York
Tribune.

HI GREAT ADMIRAL.

Few. if any, of the critics of Coluin-
bus will ever have monuments erected
in their honor.-Baltimore Sun.
1t is rank heresy, no doubt, to say a
word against the late Mr.. Columbus. yer
the fact remains that he would have
shown better judgment If he had dis
covered America in an off year.-Indi-
annapolis Journal. Eas
TO show that America is not ashamed
of having been discovered the American
people desist from the enticing and ex-
hilarating game of politics long enough
to rise, one and all, and take off their
hats to MISUNDERSTANDING Reg
lister. =
Christopher Columbus having done a
number of good things in his day, a
number Of captiouS gentlemen have
arisen to inform the public as to the
small things he did.-St. Joseph News.
The American people do not care a
souvenir whether Columbus was a horse
thief or a bunco steerer; they celebrate
a great fact in the incidental worship of
a man VINO had the courage and the good
luck to do what no one did before or
after him.-NeWark Advertiser. 80
The admirers OF Columbus need not
let their angry passions rise at the pres
ent attacks on his character and MEM
DRY. The young man who burnt the
Temple of Diana, II of the wonders of
the world, confessed it was the only
means he had to bring himself into no
tice.-Baltimore American.
Granted for arguments sake that Co
lumbuS was a liar, a gold hunter, a rob-
Der. a Scoundrel, or a knave of the
deepest dye, America was discovered,
and 400 years of research and contro-
Yersy have not weakened his grip on
the honor. Columbus may have been as
great a nuisance in his day as MANY
people think Columbian parades are to-
day, but the cold fact remains that we
had the honor of being discovered

Having thus disposed of the southern
prong of our bifurcated hemisphere,
Mr.. EGAN transfers his attentions

charges which Mr.. MACVEAGH merely
repeats from the New York Tribune

them that every single one are false.''
As a scholar and a diplomat, Mr..
EGAN'S feelings must indeed have been
sadly lacerated by these accusations
against his fitness to stand as the ac-
credited representative OF the American
people in a sister republic.
But the denial which MI. EGAN thus
vouchsafes with such Grammatical supe-
riority to grammatical forms must of
necessity prove abortive unless directed
at the responsible source OF the charges
against him. Since Mr.. MACVEAGH is
merely quoting Mr.. REID. he must
refer Mr.. EGAN's denial TO that gentle
man. Mr.. REID. being not addressed
directly, must yieldIo the ~eXigencies
OF the campaign, and continue TO ignore
his responsibility in the matter of
these accusations against his dear
friend Mr.. EGAN; and there you are.

WANTED: A NEW DEAL
From the Albert Lea Standard
Independent RepubIican.

independent Republican.
There ought to be a new deal in Min
nesota. 1t conduces to good govern
ment 10 make frequent changes in the
officers of state, and it fosters rings and
corruption to entrust any political party
with unchecked power for a long term
of years. In all departments of the
state government there should be a
change, and it will be healthy for the
body polite to make it this year.
Grave complaints and w~ell-fOunded
charges have been made for many years
against the board of railroad and ware
house commissioners. against the state
prison management, against the insane
asylums, the dairy and food inspectors,
the boiler inspectors, and against other
departments in which altogether a great
horde of ofiiceholders are employed.
There are rings, and bad ones, in
some of these official spheres that ought
to be busted.
They ought to be busted wide open
and exposed to the gaze of honest citi-
ZenS.
The only way to bust them; the only
way to secure a new deal is
10 make a clean sweep.
Turn the GO. p. out. from governor
down to the most dependent clerk in
the state house, and take a fresh start.
Turn them all out to grass, and let us

A QUESTION OF EVIDENCE

[ Senator DAVIS and Mr.. TOWNE de-
voted a large part OF their rhetorical
energies at the Metropolitan opera
house on Monday night to exploiting
the benefits Of protectionism TO the
~workingmen. The interest of their
audience in the sorrows of the poor is
Il of the most pathetic things in our
recent local history. The men and
women with diamonds and silks who
had hurried from their dinner parties
to occupy the boxes which had been re-
served for them on the occasion, cheered
wildly as they heard of the 10 cents a
day additional wages Mckinleyism is
alleged to have brought the factory
hands of New England. They did not
stop to analyze the evidence which SEN
ator DAVIS and Mr.. TowNE advanced
In support of their confident claims
on this head. They did not care
for evidence. They were so glad
of the news that their hearts were
too full for logic. The one thing the
men and women in the boxes live for is
to increase the earnings of the laboring
man.
The orators of the evening under
"hhoSA
stood this, and, with a cruelty which
the GLOBE thinks was hardly justifa-
BILE, took advantage of it. 1t was all
very nice to crafty them for the mo-
ment, and to stay the tears which are
ever flowing from their damp eyes as
they mediate on the %toiler's sad lot.
But Senator DAVIS and Mr.. TowNE
should have reflected on the distress of
the reaction which is sure to follow
when their hearers realize how INSULT
cient is the basis for the happy tldings
carried them. Mr.. TOWNE said he was
sure protectioniSm had raised wages
because he had read some remarks of a
man named PECK to that effect. and
because ne had seen some signs at
al employment agency near. the union
depot begging fifty gentlemen to
ship to Idaho, where they could get a
dollar and a half for shoveling dirt ten
hours a day. Senator DAVIS said he
was sure pr~otecti0nism had raised
wages because that was what protec-
tionism was for. He pictured the Re
publican party as alawgiver declaring
"You shall not bring into competition
III 10 NbpcS oll iOWCl WAGES,
and you shall not crowd out American
workmen." This vas testimony enough
for him on this point. and he smiled
triumphantly and his delighted audi
ence shouted with loud acclaim.
The GLOBE Is sorry to appear unsym-
pathetic, and it does not want to start
afresh the deep yelling sobs of st. An
thony hill, but it cannot for its life I'M
derStand how the possibility of a
charmed existence for our workingmen
following a dirt cart in Idaho proves
that McKinleyism is a boon to them
and, after a most careful examination
of Republican Legislation on the tariff
question. it cannot find any paragraph
which says anything like the sentence
quoted from Senator DAVIS speech.
There are hundreds OF paragraphs for
bidding the introduction of the thugs
which w0rkingmen consume, but there
is no paragraph forbidding the intro
duction of ''debaSed labor to compete
with native Americans in the market
