Our First Understanding of Storms.
In the year 1891 severe storm pre-
vailed along the eastern coast, which for
many years was known as the 'sgreat
September gale" 1t held that title until
September, 1869, when another and more
remarkable one occurred, which rather
disturbed its claim to the honor. 1t was
a little time after this first storm that
Redfield, while making a journey in
Massachusetts, was struck by a some
what curious fact He noticed that in
Massachusetts, the trees Frustrated by
the wind all lay with their heads to the
southeast, showing that the gale there
was from the northwest, but ian Connec-
ticut the trees blown down in the same
storm lay head to the northwest, show
ing that the gale had been southeast
one. He ascertained, moreover, that
when the wind was blowing southeast
In Middletown, his home, it was north
west at a place not seventy miles from
there.
1t was then that the idea flashed
across his mind that the gale was pro-
gressive whirlwind. That was a great
thought. 1t was such flash of percep-
ton as came to Newton when he con-
nected the falling apple with the planets
in space. 1t was such an insight into
the meaning of fact as James Watt
had when he saw the possibilities of the
force that was rafting the I'D of the
kettle ON his mothers fire. The devel-
opment of that idea was destined one
day to put Redfield in the ranks of the
great scientific thinkers of his day.
He made this storm the basis of his in
vestigations, following his researches
into its movements by careful collec-
ton of facts in relation to others like it.
For ten years he studied and examined
and compared his facts before he pub
lished his theory of storms.-From j. @.
Adams in Popular Science Monthly.

A clever piece of work was recently
done by the telegraph battalion of an
English regiment in the course of some
night experiments An extensive cable
was rapidly laid over the toughest posi-
sible ground, and that, too, without
the slightest assistance from search
lights, and the lieutenant general was
thus enabled not only to find lost bril-
gade, but to control the simultaneous
advance and attack of three separated
brigades ON an earthwork at midnight.
The telegraph in fact rendered most
difficult and doubtful operation COM
paratively easy and certain. With large
scale maps, a balloon and increased OBJ
serving staff, it is likely to be madeca

TEACH THEM A LESSON.

The fame of the city of st. Paul has
been attacked in a shameless manner.
Its credit has been assailed by those
who owe to it every dollar they are
worth in the world. The red tongue of
SANDER has for weeks been busy with
the fair fame of some of the best and
most patriotic citizens in her midst. In
order that a set of sore-headed, ire
sponsible. jaundiced. restless, miserable
malcontentS might enjoy the fleeting
vanity of candidature for city offices,
the moral sewers of vituperation have
been raked to supply verbal ammunl-
tion with which to conduct a campaign
of villainous abuse. A small party of
''outs'; and 'kickers' have called upon
a respectable element in this city to aid
them to clutch the city offices. Their
sole end and aim is personal plunder.
They want office at any price. They
have pledged anything and everything
to secure their ends. Some of them
have bartered away theiI very manhood
in the fierce struggle to ride into power
on the strength of hypoeritical cam
paign cries. The GLOBE appeals TO the
fair-minded citizens of st. Paul to bury
these mOuthing mOuntebanks at the
polls. Snow under the last whining
pharisee of them all.

STATE PRESS POLITICS.

The Fergus Falls journal comes to the
conclusion that there is no Minnesota citizen
more Amerieanized than Hon. Knute Nelson.
According to the Litchield Saturday
Review "Mr Ives is a worthy man, but he
is not generally considereda a strong or possi-
BILE candidate
''The fact is becoming KNOWN" says the
Plainview News, that Knute Nelson is not
SO strong man for the Republicans to nom
mate for governor as once anticipated.
From the Kittson County Enterprise we
learn that ''Col. Westerman, of St.Cloud. is
mentioned as possible candidate for the
nomination. of state treasurer Oh the Repub-
lican ticket"
According to the Duluth Tribune "Knute
Nelson told Chicago reporter the other day
that he was not candidate for governor Of

dozen or two other anxious Republican as
pirants.
"The Alliance of this district SAYS the

OMAHA,S CONVENTION.

The general conference of the NJ. E.
church of the United States commenced
its auadrenaial session at Omaha yes
terday. 1t comprises membership
of about 5UO. tw0-thiTdS bishops and
preachers and the other third laymen. All
the states and territories and a dozen
Or more foreign lands. where that de-
nomination has missions. are represent
ed. The brainiest men out of a con-
stituency of nearly five millions are
there, and the deliberations will have
more than a denOminational value.
While the religious formulas are being
OYerhauled and revised TO meet the
eyolutiOnS Of knowledge, the develop
ments of science and the researches of
scholarship, it will be OF interest to note
how far this powerful religious school is
getting into the modern swim. 1t is not
understood that any hereticS are to- be
treated specifically, but there will be
OutcrOppings, no doubt, of the diverging
elements. like that recently had at Min
neapoIis. Ecclesiastical politics will be
there with large demands. The laymen
Insist that they are overshadowed by
the more fluent and better-knOwn men
of the pulpit, and ask that they may
ihave equality of numbers and oppor-
ltnnity. The women. too, comprising
two-thirds of the membership in the
church, ask farsseats in the conference.
One Western body has sent two as dele
gates, it is stated, and this fact will ap-
parently defeat any attempt of the con-
serVatives to ignore the question. The
conference four years ago referred 1t
back to the subordinate bodies for an
expression of opinion. That has re
suited in large majority for the admis
sion of the women. but the conference
is not bound by it. A two-thirds vote
will be requisite to remove the disabil-
ity of the sex in the church government.
The opposition to it will be strong aud
persistent, and it is by no means certain
that the new departure will be had. The
action on this question will be Signifi-
cant and of special interest to those who
believe in the advance of women to the
front in public affairs.

LIBERTY IN DANGER.

The other Republican plot is more
serious one, and marks the party Of
Col. WRIGHT as an enemy of American
institutions and OF our national liberty.
Yesterday afternoon emissaries from
Republican headquarters brought every
available influence to bear on the
United States marshal and the sheriff
of this county to appoint an army of
to do duty at the polls today. 1t is to
the credit of Marshal DoNAHoWER that,
although he is Republican official, he
sternly refused to cooperate in any such
outrageous and reasonable scheme.
What attitude Sheriff BEAN has taken
On the matter does not yetappear, but it
is very likely that the same man who

this sort of thing the Republicans have
relied for success all the country over.
and they are only true to their tradi-
tions when they strive to plant this
poisonous exotic i'll our midst. The
GLOBE brands such conduct with eX-
pressions of detestation, denunciation
and horror. The hour is not yet come

stand about the polls and march freemen
like slaves to the ballot boxes to
do their rulers bidding. Every man

DEMOCRATS, STAND FIRM.

At this last hour, the GLOBE calls on
the Democracy of st. Paul to stand
firm. The Democratic ticket is COM
posed of good men, carefully selected
from our best and ablest citizens, and is
deserving of general support. Whoever
believes in honest campaigning, who
ever cares for the credit and good name
of ST. Paul. whoever is in favor of in
dlyidual liberty, whoever prizes the
comforts and coDyenienceS which make
living in a city delightful, will vote for
the party under whose fostering care
this home of ours has been developed
from village to a strong, proud and
prosperous municipality; whoever be-
lieves in the principles of the Demo-
cratic party, and would see it name the
victor in the coming national contest,
will not forget the influence today's con-
f1ict will have Oil that wider and more
vital struggle. Let every Democrat re-
member that vote against ROBERT A.
SMITH today is vote against GROVER
CLEVELAND.

st. Paul to stand firm at this hour.

DESPERATE DEVICES.

The enemy have brought their CAM
paign of calumny to elimination by
two measures of amazing etfrontery ana
wickedneSs. Overwhelmed by the evil
dences of popular disfavor, and already
conscious hat they have been beaten in
the conflict, they have prepared to nit
tigate the pains of defeat by wholesale
aud reckless charges of fraud. A troop
of false witnesses. suborned by the
promise of pay, have been enlisted, and
their affidavits have been published on
the eve of election, too late for detailed
refutatiOn. as proof of false registra-
ton by Democratic voters. The GLOBE
prints in another column the imme-
diate and convincing denialS of
some of the citizens who have
been thus shamelessly libeled. and the
Intelligent reader has only to glance
at their statements to be satisfied of the
desperate position of party which re-
sorts to such tactics. The HeSSlans
who have compiled this alleged cata-
Iogue of yiolators of the election laws
worked at the outset in the interest of
themselves alone, and offered the per-
jured fruit of their malicious invention

paign if they cared to purchase It.

Republican headquarters; and the Re
publican organs III hot haste, without
realizing the import of their procedure,
have given it to the world. As far as
the GLOBE has been able to ascertain
In a halliday of inquiry, the list is un-
true and fictitious from beginning to
end. But if there are exceptions, and
if it is fact that names do
appear on the registration rolls
which correspond TO no individuals
actually residing at the places to
which they are credited, these names
were placed on the rolls by the Republi-
cans for their own purposes, and their
revelation in advance of the election is
a revelation of Republican corruption
and craft. No honest voter will be de-
ceived or influenced by this plot, and
the ink which has been used to publish
it is as wasted as have been the floods Of
Republican campaign oratory to which
the ecity has been subjected during the
past ten days.

RANK VILIFICATION.

The Republiean-Pr Prohibition alliance
of St. Paul opened the municipal cam
paign with mud battery. Their viii
fication of the present incumbentS of
the municipal offices of this city was
without parallel in the history of such
campaigns. So rank and unjust was
the onslaught that their morning organ
was forced to rebuke the foul ISLANDERS
incorporated in their resolutions. Far
and wide throughout the state of Min
nesota these ISLANDERS we're scattered, to
the shame of our citizens and to the in-
jury of the city's credit. Today is day
of reckoning at the polls. Today the
Democratic party of st. Paul is afforded
an opportunity to force these foul ac-
cusations down the throatS of the city's
caIumniators. Today we have an oppor-
tunity to redeem the eity's credit and
restore her fair name to its proper place
before the world. Let us do it.

DAKOTA WOBBLES.

For state in which prohibition is
claimed to successfully preserve the
male understanding, both physical
and mental, from all disposition
10 wObble, North Dakota has oc-
caSional peculiar freaks. 1t has Just
been noted that the last legisla-
ture slipped a cog in the legislation
requisite for choosing presidential elect
OrS and canyaSsing the votes for state
officers, affOrding a chance for the gov
ernor to call an extra session. Now it
appears that the recent sale of school
lands in the Red river valley counties
was unauthorized by law and illegal.
The legislative act, as stated, pro-
Vided for sales in April, 1891.
and at no other time. A small
portion of the lands was sold
then. but much larger part the past
month. The latter comprised 6O,00O
acres, and amounted to more than a
million dollars. The sales were made
by the board appointed for the purpose,
comprising the governor and other
officials. The figures obtained we're
satisfactory, and the sale a good one
for the state. 1t would be misfortune
to have the transaction now made void.
The discovery of this situation may be
one of the real occasions for the pro-
posed session of the legislature, if it is
possible for that body TO legalize the
sales. 1t will be remembered that the
Legislative session was full of the polit-
ical ozone that is so common in that
state. 1t made the party machines
groan and crack, and turned out sena-
tors in an anomalous way. Still, in
spite of all these erratic ways, there
are those there who insist that the sam
pie of prohibition in vogue there does
some straight work.
