Mr.. Harrison's creed is by no means

iniure his own country more than others.

No one can now say that Mr.. Blaine is
the shrewdest politician in the United
States. His extraordinary step could
only have been justified by success
Daily News.
Even those who have no sympathy
with the politician Blaine can spare re-
gret for the cruel disappointment to the
ablest man in the Republican party and
most astute politician in the United
States.-Pall Mall Gazette.
After this striking declaration of Re-
publican feeling it is idle for Mr.. Blaine
to foment intrigues within the party
against Mr.. Harrison. His only digni-
fed course is to withdraw into private
life for the preSent.-Standard.
England has special cause to rejoice
in the downfall of one who has raised
the handling of voters to an exact
science. His foreign imitators should
take warning, or they will be hoisted
with their own petard.-Evening Globe.
1t is a matter of indifference whether
Harrison or Blaine is president. Both
have been rude to Englard, and the
Democrats have been no better. The
last act of Democratic president when
in power was to insult England in the
person of Lord Sackyille.-St. James

A RIOTOUS YEAR.

There is Il shade OF disappointment to
the average reader as he takes up his
morning paper if there is not the typo
graphical eye-catcher promising a mar
rative of dire disaster by flood, tempest
or some freak of nature. This eXpeeta-
ton has not often been ungratifed if it
is unkindly supposed that there is
craving for the sensational IN this di-
rection. The year is not quite half
gone, yet it has furnished horrors
enough TO fill several of the more sub
dued and decorOus years of the past. 1t
has been period of extraordinary cat
astrophes. Hardly any section has en-
lOyed immunity. The storm forces
have ravaged- the sections with
great impartiality. doing their worst,
however, where the great streams were
incited to reckless work. The loss
of property reaches up to the large
figures, and the destruction of life has
rivaled great battles. There have been
causes for the operation of these forces
as fixed and definite as those that pro-
duce rain or heat. 1t is probable that
these will be good deal better under
stood, and ampler provision made to
meet their effects in the coming time,
but at present man is at the mercy of
the elements. He can take out lite and
accident policies, but has battling task
when he tries to grasp the secrets of
Nature and find the compensations for
her wayward moods.

BERLIN, June 14.-Herr Tessendorff
the chief prosecutor Of the German EN-
pire at Leipsic, has caused ninety-one
members of the Guelph societies of Han
over to be Indicted for high treason, and
most of the accused have been arrested.
The move has caused great consterna-
tiOnin Hanover, as showing determi-
nation OIL the part of the kaiser to put
all end to the agitation for the inde-
pendence of Hanover and the restora-
ton of the Hanoyerian royal family.
Notwithstanding the settlement ar
rived at between the present Prussian
monarchy and the Duke of Cumberland
the Guelph agitation is carried on as
strongly as ever, and the leaders of the
movement have grown even bolder in
the avowal of their aims. 1t is reported
that some of them have gone so far as
to intimate to France that in the event
of war with Germany, aid might be
looked for from the Hanoverians, and
that considerable correspondence has
also been carried on with Russia.
While the Guelph agitation is carried
on nominaliy under the cover of the
constitution, it is said that the authori-
ties have ample evidence to sustain the
charge of treason.

ON THE RECORD.

On the ballot at Minneapolis the
South Dakota delegation finally pulled
itself together and gave its solid vote
for HARRISON. This was somewhat of
a surprise to those who had been listen
ing to Senator PETTIGREw and his fol-
lowing The senator was not men,
Der of the delegation, it Is true, but his
views were reflected by portion of the
delegates. TheTe were instructions for
HARRISON. but PETTIGREw was out
spoken in insisting that they should be
diSregarded. His consent to allow his
votes to 90 TO HARRISON must have
come from the knowledge that HARRI-
son had votes enough without, and it is
the political gospel of the Dakota Repub-
lican politician never to miss the band
wagon, however obnoxious the driver.
PETTIGREW had just come from Wash
ington, and was full of the spirit preva-
lent among those who had been in close
relations to the secretary of state. Some
OF his statements given to the press are
worth recalling, as affOrding an ex-
planatiOn of the course of Mr.. BLAINE
and indicating the nauseousness of the
dose to the earnest and abiding friends
of the man who has gone down to
Maine in disgust over his treatment by
the administration. Mr.. PETTIGREw
said:

of Mr.. BLAINE from the cabinet The only
thing that seems at all singular ID me is that

But the president with Il small envy of the
fame Of his great secretary, took the negoh-
alton out of MIR. BLAINE-s hands, where it
legitimately belonged. The secretary of
state turned the entire matter over to his
excellencY of this excellent administration.

ROCHESTER,, Minn., June 1.-THE
time for the twentieth annual cOmyen-
ton of the state fire association has ar
rived, and the firemen are coming in by
every train. The first delegation of
forty-six arrived last night, and were
met by the Rochester band and escorted
to firemen's headquarters. Our princi-

ance. Large banners upon which are
the words WELCOME FiremeH"
hung across the streets. while
hundreds of little flags with similar
notices float from nearly every buSi-
ness place. Tie large flags are also
floating from their masts and lend Il
patriotic appearance to the occasion. A
grand street parade occurred this after
noon, after which the firemen assem-
bled at the Grand opera house. and the
meeting was called to order by Presi
dent j. 2. Anderson. The mayor be-
ing absent from the city, a. W. Blakely

The first meal was served at noon, over

STATE PRESS TIPS.

The Fergus Falls Journal supports Harri-
son. but srys: Mr. Blaine's friends are JUS
tilted in their indignation at the manner in
which he was treated at Minneapolis. To
have the great leader trailed in the dust as he
was, was an outrage"
The ST. Cloud Times does not see the diff
ference: 1.-The Pioneer Press made great
deal of fun of the plank of the Minnesota
Democracy in relation to gold and silver. On
Friday night the Republican national con-
Yention adopted resolution almost iden-
ticalIy similar to that Of the Minnesota De-
mocracy i. e., that the two coins should be
so adjusted and Teadjusted as to keep them
at all times of equal value"
The Crookston Times has these two points
for Chicago: These two things are first, the
nomination of Grover Cleveland because the
mass of the party demand this, and second,
the party pledge that it will push bill pro-
posing an amendment TO the constitution
limiting the right to hold the presidential of
fee to a single term. The Republicans de-
manded this, but the bosses voted it down,
and thousands Of Republicans will vote the
Democratic ticket this fall if the party will
pledge itself to the enactment of such a
law

fcch.
BoRDEAUX, June 14.-An appalling
accident occurred today just outside
the harbor of Blaye, on the river Giron-
do twenty-four miles northeast OF this
city. Lying off the harbor was the
English steamer Petrolia, commanded
by Capt. Hubback. which had arrived
June 12 frcm Philadelphia. Suddenly
there was a flash, a tremendous roar,
and the vessel was apparently blown TO
pieces. Huge fragments of the deck
and deck house were carried upward 10
a great height. The shock of the ex-
plOSion alarmed the town and hundreds
of persons rushed to the wharveS to
discover the cause of the noise, it being
thought by many that the magazine OF
one of the forts defending Blaye had
blown up. The river was strewn with
wreekage from the PatrOlia, and it was
readily seen that the disaster was due
to au explosion of gas that had formed
from the petroleum comprising her
cargo. Burning oil was floating ON the
water. This drifted with the tide, and,
floating against several vessels lying at
anchor near by. set them on fire. Two
or three other vessels were ignited by
burning oil which fell on their decks or
rigging.
The Petrolia was soon burning furi-
OuSly, and the heat WAS so intense that
it was dangerous for small boats to ap-
proach near to her. Volumes of sitting
blark smoke hung over and around the
burning steamer. Some of the more
venturesome of the boatmen. hearing
cries for help, rowed as close as posi-
bic to the Petr0lia. They succeeded in
picking up sixteen of her crew. three of
her engineers and the second officer.
Some of the rescued men We're severely
burned. The survivors said that there
were twenty others on board the vessel
when the explosion occurred, and an
other search was made in the vicinity of
the burning ship in the hope of saving
more lives. But not body was found.
and it is believed that every one of
these twenty men perished.
The crews of the other vessels that
caught fire did their utmost to Quench
the flames, but their efforts were fruit
less, and some of the crafts, mostly YES
SelS engaged in the river and coaSting
trade, were burned to the waters edge.
Further information from Blaye
shows that thunder storm was pre-
valling at the time the explosion Oc-
cured, and that the disaster was
caused by lightning striking the vessel

The GLOBE calls attention to the

ton of the coming Democratic con-
ventiOn. lie is one of the best OF
American parl;amentarians, and one OF
the faireSt and most courteous OF gen-

effective speaker, with a,voice resonant
and strong enough 10 fill even a very

ginia. state on the border, sometimes
clasSed with the South in its devotion
to the Democracy, and yet doubtful
enough to be considered worthy the
honor of such a selection. 1t is i'm
portant that the party's national
assembly should begin its delib-
erationS under the happiest auspices,
and no man in the country Is
better qualified than Mr.. WILSON
to set the pace in this direction. With
him in the chair no faction would enjoy
rights superior to another, and whoever
had aught to say would De accorded
proper hearing. No confusion or up
roar could disconcert him. He would
be cool. impartial, ready, and the mas

stances. A scholar and yet man OF
the world, enjoying the respect and re-
gard of even his political opponents.
fearless and able advocate of the party's
doctrines, with charming personal bear
ing, and withal alert, vigorous and di-
rect. he would lend a dignity and grace
to the convention as its temporary
chairman which it would be of the ut
most value for 1t to have. The GLOBE,
which seldom has a candidate for any
office, now comes out directly for WILL

spent 81, III last year, and now has $500
on hand. That much money does not
go far in prosecuting the work among
the estimated 100000 children Of the
state.
Then the papers began. Carey Emer-

machinery now in use 10 the fullest ex-

Rev. W. j. Lhamon advocated the thor

The afternoon was devoted to the dis
cuSSiOu of the teacher and the evening
was given to similar addresses.

BELGIAN REVOLUTION.
Friends of Manhood Suffrage
Victorious.

BRUSSELS. June 1.-THE Liberals
who favor manhood suffrage have car
ried Brussels today by crushing ma
jority, their gains being the clerical
victories IN the province of Hainault,
and giving, it is believed, the control of
the chamber of deputies to the Liberal
party. There is great jubiiation in
Brussels over the result. and the Lib
eral leaders everywhere are being coll
graduated upon their triumph, which
initiates complete revolution in Bel
gium.
The latest returns show that the Lib
erals have gained eighteen new seats
and have lost four old ones in the house.
In the senate they have gained nine
new seats. In both districts new bal
lot must be taken. 1t is evident that
the government will not have the two
thirds majority necessary to assure its
own way in the revision of the cOnstitu-
ton.

are becoming smaller. The census of
1850 showed $50 persons IN a family,
and the recent one cuts the number
down to 4.94. a reduction of u per cent.
That is, the three and half children of
a decade ago have become but three.
Ibis is significant fact. Its import is
enhanced when the analysis is carried
10 sections and natIonalities. tits found
that the oldest sections, particularly in
the East, are becoming less productive,
as far as the original stock is concerned.
The increase is with the foreign ele-
mentS. Whether this is an essential
condition of society or due to false no
tionS and degeneracy are questions for
the social philosophers.

IT WAS a BLUNDER.

The GlObe-Democrat at St. Louis is
the only very important Republican
paper in the Southwest. 1t was a strong
HARRISON organ, but not an admirer of
REID. His nomination is recognized as
an exceedingly unfortunate one for the
party, and with its habitual trankness
the st. Louis paper speaks its opinion i'll
this way:
The nomination of WHiTELAw REID for
vice president is a blunder of a peculiarly
serious and senseless kind. 1t is a concession
to the BLAINE faction of the party which
ought not to have been made under any cir
cumstances. The antagonism of the labor
clement to Mr. REID is pronounced and bit.
ter, and ought to have been taken into con-
sideration by the delegates. There are many
BLAINE men who would have been unobjec-
tionabla from any point OF view. Some OF
them would have strengthened the ticket
very materially. Mr.. REID decidedly and en-
phatically weakens the ticket.
The concession to the BLAINE faction
could hardly be very pronounced IN TAX
ing a man who has held one of the best
appointments of President HARRISON
for years. 1t was much like the con-
cession had been if DEPEw we're the Sc
lection. He had been BLAINE man in
the earlier time. REID was understood
to be named at the dictation of HARRI
son, and he is not throwing good things
to the other fellows. There is nowhere
any intimatiOn that BLAINE desired the
selection of REID. That it was an
egrpgious blunder is too apparent for
question, but it is hardly to be expected
that leading HARRISON organ would
make the admission.
