THE FARMERS NEED.

The MCKINLEY advocates point with
The confidence OF knock-down argu-
ment to the fact that there has been an
increase of exports from this country
since the passage of their high tariff
bill. This is admitted, and it is con-
ceded that there has been an increased
shipment abroad of the products of the
farm. The treasury statistics show
that for the seven months coming up to
February the exports were rather more
than S100,000000 greater than in the
same period in the previous year.
There has been an increased foreign de-
mand for wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye
and flour. Corn and cornmeal have
gone over the water in a volume
enlarged by S1O,o0O,0OO worth, while
wheat and -four have climbed UP $780,
100000. But this larger demand has not
been general, or oyertaken all the farm
productions. There has been falling
away in meats of S6,000,000 and in cot
ton of S20,000,0OO. In fact, with neon
siderable exception, there has been re-
ductlon in the demand for commodities
from this country, except as it has been
necessary to take the place of failure in
crops. With the usual production Of
food supplies in Europe, the demand for
them would have reeeded as in the case
of manufactured and other articles that
could be dispensed with. The natural
effect Of the high tariff rates is to obstruct
and diminish international traffic. Hap
PLY for the protection advocates, the
partialfailure of crops compelled the
old world to come to this country to fill
the deficit. The farmer sees in the sit
uation the value to him of a foreign
market. AS the requirements abroad
are found to be less than anticipated.
the prices have been dropping in wheat
and flour of late. But for the foreign
demand farm products at present would
hardly be worth sending to market. As
aruIe, there must be some approx ma
tion between the imports and exports in
value. The farmers interests are in
the direction of enlarged commercial
relations.

WALT WHITMAN.

Walt Whitman being dead it is doubt
full whether America has any poet who
pleases the cultured British taste unless
the long silent ''Sweet singer of Mich
igan" shall pipe up once more.-Chlca-
go Times.
Walt Whitman was one of those writ
ers known in every country and age
who are valued more highly abroad
than at home. He had many admirers
in England. but only a few in the United
States-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
If to be great is to be misunderstood,
Walt Whitman certainly RAMS with
worlds immortals. The forerunner of
a nobler manhood, he failed to accord
with the accepted standards OF a short
sighted generation. His was the voice
of one crying in the wilGerneSs.-C
cago Globe.
Walt Whitman. after brave and
cheerful struggle. has finally passed
away. He lived to see his reputation
firmly established and himself under
stood by those whose judgment is worth
the most. Admirers of Whitman will
derive great pleasure from that thought.
Chicago Herald.
Considered in the character of poet
solely. ana without concern for the
ethical responsibility of the poet to the
reading and inquiring minds of unsta-
bic humanity, it is possible Walt Whit
man will be declared. when sound
critical verdict is reached, the most
vrile, penetrating and able true poet of
the century.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The event was not sudden. The poet
himself anticipated it with evident re-
joicing several months ago, and to his
friends the only surprise has been that
he could endure SO long. To these and
to many thinkers and readers through
oul the world who have come to an ap-
probation of his work the regret for the
life that is taken away is overwelghted
by the rejoicing for the life that was
given.-Chicag0 News.
The close of Walt Whitman's care er
leaves the question, 'Was he a pOet?"
still open. Until Ralph Waldo Emer-
son Endorsed him he was universally
condemned. After that he became the
fashion, and it has since been more or
less the fashion among certain English
critics to praise him as the ''only Amer
lean poet" by which they mean to say
that the rest are mere imitatorS of class
ical English models.-St, Louis Repub-

THE SPIRIT OTPRoPHECY.

When our local statesmen sit about
the corridor of the Merchants and chew
tobacco and talk politics, nobody pays
much attention to what they say. But
when they let fall sentence or two In
the lobby of the Fifth Avenue hotel, the
precious things are carefully gathered
UP and sent in feyerish haste over the
wires to their admirers at home. GIL
HARTLEY, of Duluth, who is mentioned
in connection with the Sixth districts
congressional contest, is in New York,
and has announced the death of the Al
lance movement in Minnesota to the
reporters for the metropolitan newspa-
pers. He declares that the spirit OF
prophecy with which its leaders thought
themselves inspired has knocked the
wind completely out of the party. When
wheat was at 90 cents. he explains,
doc" FISH and his fellow seers an
nouneed that the price would go
up, up, up to $3.50 if its owners would
only hold, but instead Of that it has
gone down. down, down to eighty-hye.
This has kindled much diStruSt OF their
infalliDity. The farmers have begun to
think that Doc FISH and his fellow
seers are only men after all. The aroma
of divinity which has hedged them has
disappeared, and their disciples are dis
persing each to his home with feeling
that he has been buncoed. GIL HART
LEY is evidently an acute analyst OF the
contemporary political situation, and II
what he says is true, it shows the dam
ger of prophesying. except at such long
range that prompt refutation will not
be possible. 1t is quite safe to predict
that the country is going to ruin, but
the price of grain is dangerous sub
ject to tackle unless one is quite sure OF
the quality of the sacred fumes which
pervade his oracle. The wicked specu-
lators, you know, have so much to DO
with this brand of human activity.

INTO REPUBLICAN ARMS.
There Is Where the Divorce Party
Promises to End.


The so-called independent politicians
are having a right merry time speculat-
ing upon probabilities and possibilities,
as it were. The select leaders OF
the cabal meet often in secret
conclave. They met last even
ing, in fact, but what promised
to prove an exceedingly exciting and in
teresting fight was tame indeed. The
proposition was to branch out bravely
and place a complete municipal ticket
in the field. Nothing of the sort was
done, however. There seems to be two
dominant and colliding elements in this
organization. One faVors honest, indie
pendent action, while the other coun-
sells sort of fusion with the Repub-
licanS. In other words, the latter are
anxious to do anything that promises
to defeat the Democratic ticket, no mat
ter what that may be. These were
among the problems that were discussed
at last nights secret session of the Sc
lect few who aspire to control the po-
litical destiny of st. Paul. 1t was
an interesting controversy. and it
frequently called out the par
liamentary tact Of Chairman Mcmillan.
The upshot of the debate was the APP
pointment of a conference committee.
Other meetings are booked for the near
future and some very interesting de-
yelopments are anticipated. a commit
tee has been appointed, one from each
ward in the city, to take active charge
of the affairs of the cabal, and the prin-
eipals promise to make things decidedly
interesting for the Democrats.

GROVER CLEVELAND.

Three months ago nothing seemed
more unlikely than that GROVER
CLEVELAND should receive the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination at Chi
cago in June. Today he has passed all
his rivals; and, if the GLOBE reads the
signs of the times with accuracy, it
would appear that the leadership Will
be his by the practically unanimous
voice of his party. Every Northern
state whose opinion has thus far been
expressed or canyassed, with the eX-
ception Of New York, names him as its
first choice, and there is 10 MISLEADING
the evidences of his popularity and
strength south of Mason and Dixon'S
line. A great wave of enthusiasm and
devotion is sweeping over the country
in his favor, and unless meanwhile
something appears to check the tide, it
will bear him on resistlessly to victory.
Circumstances and the mistakes OF
his foes have done this work thus
unickly for him. Gov. HILLS midwin-
ter convention induced the first reac-
ton. Justly or unjustly, spirit of re-
sentiment was kindled everywhere
against this enterprise. Men said. "If
the people of New York are really for
their senator, why try to stifle the opDo-
sitfon by sharp practices?" Gov. HILLS
junketing tour through the South has
added to this feeling. His transparent
ambition, his uncommon anxiety, his
careful avoidance Of the discussion of
vital issues have alienated many of his
admirers. They have eontraSted his
course with the attitude of the eX-presl-
dent, dignIfied and personally reserved,
but with lion-hearted promptnesS To
declare his honest convictions in the
face of opposition and threats, Mr..
CLEVELAND has grown by the force of
contrast.
Mr.. CLEVELAND has also triumphed
because the principles which he repre-
sentS have triumphed. The BLAND
bill is dead. The question has not been
lodged. The timid petitioners for pro-
crastination have not been listened to.
There has been fair fight, and the free
coinage wing of the party has been
worsted. The effort to shun response
biIity has failed, and so, also, has the
effort to advance the currency problem
to position of prominence in the com
ing contest. This is the hour for man
of positive opinions. The tariff reform,
hard money element holds the mastery,
and aa its head is the great New Yorker
who, having served his country well, ell
joys IT'S confidence and affection as does
no other of its sons.

ANSON'S "COLTS. :"

Capt. Anson's Colts are apparently all
right. The old gentleman went Off to
pigeon-popping match yesterday and his
Youngsters won their first game of the
eason.-Chicago Evening Post.
The Chicago ball club is playing prac-
tice games at Hot Springs and losing
them with that neatness and dispatch
which always attend Capt Anson's eff
forts to avoid making TOO good show
ing early in the season.-Chicago Times.
Capt. Anson's ball players have again
been rudely walloped by nine men from
Cleveland. The probable condition of
that Cleveland club when the captains
PLAYERS get through with it, after the
first real game of the season. cannot
now be promised without emotions of
positive h0rror.-Chicago News.
Capt. Anson's rejuyenated Colts
played their first practice game of the
season at Hot Springs Monday with the
Cleveland club and were beaten. The
little act of generosity will perhaps
ameiiorate the suffering of the other
clubs when Mr.. AnSon's people really
turn themselves loose at the beginning
of the season.-Chicago News.

DOUGHTY DEMOCRATS
Preliminary Plans for the
State Gathering To-
morrow.
Tonight's Meeting to Suggest
a Temporary Presiding
officer.
The Divorce Party Will Con-
suit Its Republican
Ally.
Such Was the Outcome Of the
Great Secret Confer
enee.

The Democratic state convention.
which will be called to order at IL
O'Clock tomorrow morning in Newman
ket hall, will be one OF the largest and
most enthusiastic gatherings held IN
Minnesota. Not only will the 426 dele
gates who are entitled to seats in the
convention be present. bat there will
also be several thousand of the faithful
from all parts of the state on hand to
watch the proceedings and gather re-
newed inspiration and courage. For
the first time since 1860 the Democrats
of Minnesota will meet and elect dele
gates to the national convention with
prospect of giving the national ticket
the electoral vote of the state.
Under these circumstances 1t is a
matter of congratulation that such vet
Grams as Gen. George l.. Becker, who
was the standard bearer of his party in
the campaign of 1859; Hon. Michael
Doran, Mayor II. A. Smith, A. L.
Ankeny, Herman Oswald, Baldwin
Brown, Ed A. Stevens, Mayor E. w.
Durant and a host of others equally as
we'll known Will have seats in this con-
vention. Their presence and hearty
participation in the proceedings Will be
an encouragement TO the younger men
that cannot be overeStimated.
The state central committee will meet
at O'Clock this evening at the rooms IN
the Globe building and fix up all mat
tiers relating to the holding of the con-
vention. The committee will probably
decide to recommend temporary
chairman to the convention, but
this will be only recon-
mendation. AS general thing this has
been the custom ia this state as III many
others. but at times the conventions
have taken the matter in their own
hands, and the present state central
committee has no desire to press the
point The arrangement of seats for the
various delegations here has been made
by Secretary SmaIIey and is both sensi-
ble and convenient. According to this
the delegates will be grouped by con-
gresSional districts for their greater
convenience i'll selecting district dele
gates. There will be three rows of
seats, ten in a row. Beginning at the
stage on the right the First district dele
gates will OCCUPY the first eight rows,
the Second district delegates the re-
naming seven, the Fourth district the
first six rows of the middle row. The
Third follows next with six rows. The
Fifth district occupy the first five rows
of the left series. The Sixth district
follow next seven rows, and the Sew
enth occupy the three rear rows of each
of the second and third series, or the
middle aud left hand rows.
The headquarters of the state central
committee during the convention Will
be Room 2, at the Merchants

ton. The Czechs were highly indig-
nant, and the leaders declared that the
day should be celebrated, in spite of the
prohibition issued by the government.
The day passed quietly enough; but at
Z O'Clock last evening, the police at
tempted 10 dispense an enormous crowd,
but they were resisted With logged de-
termination.
Orders were then given to charge the
crowd, and desperate fighting followed.
The crowd was armed with sticks, and
they dealt many severe blows to tho
gendarmes. The latter slashed right
and left with their swords, and finally,
after pitched battle. the crowd was
forced to retreat. Many of the rioters
were placed under arrest, and it was
thought for time that there would be
no further trouble. but later the police
made another charge upon the crowds.
There was hand to hand lighting for
short time, but finally the mob was dis
persed. Later the crowd started for
the Jewish quarter, but the mounted
police dashed into the crowd, needless
of who they rode down, and SlaShing
here, there and everywhere with their
swords. A large number of the rioters
received severe sword wounds. They
were removed in custody to the hospital,
where their wounds were dressed, after
which they were locked up. Today the
city wears its normal aspect, and nc
further trouble is apprehended.

DOGS SKIN ON HIS ARM.
\ Japanese HAIRLESS Creature
Comes to LUIGI Ortoluzzi's Aid.

A Japanese hairless Creature
Comes to LUIGI Ortoluzzi's Aid.
Two months ago LUIGI Ortoluzzi. a
boy employed in candy store on
Gwynnett street, Williamsburg, caught
his left arm between the rollers of a
sugar erusher, tearing off the skin from
the shoulder to the elbow, says the New
York World. He was taken TO the
Eastern district hospital, where an at
tempt was made to replace the skin.
The effort was unsuccessful. Grating
was then resorted to, b because of the
large surface to be covered the amount
of Give" skin necessary could not be
obtained.
Dir. SiIas G. Blaisdell then tried frog
skin with indifferent success. He next
got a Japanese hairless dog, and its skin
was subjected to course of antiseptic
treatment. Twelve graftings of frog.
twenty of human, and twenty-five of
dog skin were then placed OH OrtoIuZ
zi's arm. OF these. eight of the human
fragments. tWenty-one Of the dogs, and
none of the frogs skin lived. Repeated
experiments produced the same results.
Ortoluzzi's arm is getting OH nicely.
One-third of the raw surface is covered,
and his final recovery is only matter
OF weeks.

LEGaL ADVERTISING.

The scramble among certain class OF
newspapers for legal advertising grows
keener every day, and the reductions
from regular rates offered by some of
them are so great that by and by they
will probably do the work for nothing
and give the customers bonus for the
privilege in addition. Such things go
by favor largely, because the law does
not seem to contemplate that publicity
is essential in announcements OF fore
closure sales and the like. The intel.
ligent business man advertiseS his store
in the newspaper with the largest cir
culation among the people whom he
wants as customers, but with the law
yer nothing of this sort has to be taken
into consideration. The consequence is
that in these lines the obScurest journal
may be the most formidable competl-
tor. AS far as the large papers are con-
cerned, there is no particular objection
to this, because they can usually count
on getting their fair share of whatever
is Offering; but it suggests the value of
an idea which the GLOBE has already
commented on. If weekly sheet were
published by the state, or under the
states supervision. in which legal adj
vertisements of every description must
be published III order to comply with
the statute, there would then be accessi-
BILE to the interested public a place
where it could find, properly classified
and accessible, whatever information 1t
might desire on these matters, There
are no doubt objections to the plan, but
it has many points to recommend it, and
is worthy of our legislators attention.

CHARGED A COW.
One Chappie Who Had Enough OF
the COW-Catcher.


the Catcher.
When Mr.. Heryey. special correspond
ent of the London Times, was crossing
the Andes on his way to Chill, he rode
for time upon the cow-catcher of the
engine. He describes particularly his
sensation in shooting tunnel. He
seemed TO have taken leave of the sun
light forever, and found himself reach
ing out instinctiyely for his compan-
ions arm-for there were two men OIL
the eOw-catcher with him. One of them,
a native we'll accustomed to this mode
of travel, related the unhappy venture
of another tourist with whom he had
once ridden over the same rate.
"Ile was a nervous fellow" said the
man, ''and was all the time clutching at
one or the other of us. BY ana by he
charged cow"
Charged cow!' cried Mr.. HerVey's
servant. "What on earth did he do
that fOr?'
"Just because he couldn't help it.
You see, cows have habit of straytng
upon the track, and are very stupid and
slow about getting Off again. Some
times, indeed, they get into cut, or
upon narrow ledge, and save them-
selves. we IelIOWS always keep sharp
lookout for the brutes, and if we see it's
going to be ease of fresh beef we
skip round to the side ledge OF the eh-
CINE and hold on by the boiler rail until
the JOB is over.
ION the occasion | am speaking of,
just as we were turning corner, we
came right upon fat old COW. There
was barely second to think and act,
and my chum and | used it to the best
advantage, leaving the stranger to look
out for himself.
1--WE got one glimpse of his huddled-
up figure; there was thud, and in an
other instant the front part of the en-
CINE was in a fearful mess. Our man
looked as if he had been rolled through
slaughter house.
Goodness knows how he contrived
to hang on, but he did somehow. OF
course the engine at once slowed down,
and we got him off TO the guards van,
where he was glad to change his clothes
for suit of blankets. L don't believe
that chappie will ever again ride on a
cOW-cdtcher."
