SWINGING INTO LINE.

Two years ago in June Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND felt that it was incumbent on him
TO give the public his opinion on the
coinage of silver. The opinion met
with criticism. more or less severe. from
men prominent in his party. Among
these was Senator VOORHEES,, of Indl-
ana, who. in an interview, said that Mr..
CLEVELAND had taken himself out of
the list of presidential possibilities in
his party. and that he had put himself
in opposition to his party"
The GLOBE commented on this re-
mark of the senator, and said that the
senator was mistaken; that the opinions
of few senators who had voted for the
VEST free coinage amendment did not
make the policy of the party; that the
sporadic declarations of a few state con-
ventions could not be taken as declara-
tive of the position of the national party.
We said that the only body capable of
speaking for the party and deciding the
position it should take on any public
question was the national convention,
and that no convention had declared for
the policy embodied in the VEST amend
ment and supported by the Indiana
senator aud others.
Subsequently the Democrats of Ohio
and of Iowa met in convention and de-
clared in favor of free coinage, and pos
sibly one or two others did the same.
But the national convention met in 1892
and considered what the policy of the
party should be. and declared in favor
of one which was radically different
from that for which the senators had
voted. They wanted free and unlimited
coinage of dollars having less than
dollars value of metal in them; the ma
tional convention declared in favor OF
coming dollars of full value. The dif
ference is a wide and very material
one.
Now Senator VOORHEES, Loyalty bows
his head to the decree of the party.
Ohio, Virginia and Iowa fall into line.
The party is again united. except In a

Vice President Peck, chairman of the
finance committee, has a very encour-
aging word tor the financial outlook of
the exposition. He said today: 1T has
been difficult to ascertain heretofore the
amount of the floating debt, owing to
the delay in getting the vouchers from
many departments and the many uneX-
pected claims that continued to appear.
The auditor has just Informed me that
the entire net floating debt is now less
than 100000. which at the present rate
few days receipts can pay. The
treasurer has already provided for the
payment of the second instalIment of 10
per cent upon the bonds, and the
finance committee will tomorrow con-
slider the payment of a third installment
of 10 and 20 per cent. If the general in
crease i'll attendance is continued the
exposition will soon have no debt"

OUR EMINENT VISITORS.

The visit OF the foreign commissioners
of the worlds fair to the Northwest has
been most auspiciously planned. No
other time could have been so favorable
for an inspection of so prominent por-
ton of the worlds granary.
At the Chicago exposition they have
been afforded magnificent opportunity
to compare an infinite variety of the
worlds products, industrial and agri-
cultural. With that experience the
commissioners are well fitted TO prop
erly estimate the various resources of
the Northwest. They can measure our
capacity for the future by the results of
the past. Many of those results they
have seen concentrated in one magnifi-
cent exhibition. They come now to the
prolific fountain head of the industrial
and agricultural displays which they
have witnessed at the fair.
But they will see much which 1t is
impossible to show by sample. Their
visit to the Twin Cities is revelation
in itself. And when they are told how
few the years which have elapsed since
the founding of such progressive
municipalities, how short the time since
the wild desolation of unbroken prairies
was first opened to civilization and
made to blossom like the rose, their
commentator of Western enterprise
will, doubtless, be heartily evoked.
Progress and improvement are by no
means slight i'll many of the Older coun-
tries represented by these commission
ers. Indeed, it may be candidly admit
ted that the Solidity OF continental I'M
proyementS, in many respects, eXcels
that of American enterprise. Yet it
may be doubted if any nation has so
fully, so hastily, supplied the demands
of agriculture and industry with the
best machinery for the purposes re-
CURED. The spur of necessity has ac-
tolerated invention. In almost every
line of business the commissioners will
see evidences of this fact.
From the Twin Cities these foreign
visitors of ours Will continue their pill
grimage into the great grain fields of the
Northwest. Here they will find urban
ambitions rivaled by agricultural adj
vancement on gigantic scale. They
will see the largest wheat fields in the
world. They will make acquaintance
with some of the most prominent stock
breeders in the country. They will wit
ness preparations for threshIng and
marketing a crop of over 100,000,0OO
bushels of wheat. On every hand will
be life, push, energy and enterprise.
They will see the work of building up a
new country by men whom no tempo
rary financial panic can dismay.

welcome

CH,CAGo's SECOND FIRE.

cover 1000 homeless" is the sad
news reported from Chicago as the re-
suit of a fire which in extent OF terri.
tory almost rivals the great confiagra-
ton of 1871. The area of Chicago will
be better appreciated when it is known
that this disastrous blaze south of
Ninetieth street is fifteen miles from
the city hall. In part this remotenesS
from the central business portion of the
city may account for the terrible de-
structivenesS of the fire, for, as is well
known, the Chicago fire department is
considered the best in the world.
Over two hundred and fifty houses
were destroyed. Block after block of
small residences and tenement houses
fell before the fury of the flames. Not
until the lake was reached on the east
did the flames give pause. 1t is too
early to ascertain a correct list of the
number of lives lost, but it is known
that several persisted. But it is the
thousands who are homeless, many out
of work, who will appeal most strongly
to the sympathies of the public. There
should be no stint i'll the charitable acts
of Chicago's millionaires at time like
this. Millions of money have poured
into Chicago since the opening of the
worlds fair, and millions will follow
The world has not forgotten the noble
donations contributed TO Chicago during
the dark days of 1871. and now Chicago
should be most generous to the stricken
ones of her important suburb.

THE CASE DE MANTLE.

The senate decides by vote. pract-
ally, OF 50 to 80 that where legislature
has been in session and fails to elect a
senator at the expiration of senatorial
term, the governor cannot appoint
senator: that no vacancy such as the
constitution contemplates exists.
There is great force in the arguments
by which this view is supported. The
constitution vests the elective power in
the legislature. That body only makes
senators. The governor has nothing
further to do with it than the certifica-
ton of the act of the legislature. Again,
a vacancy in the constitutional sense eX-
lists only when there is failure from
any cause to complete term. 1t is not
a vacancy within that sense where the
term has expired. 1t is the creation of
a new senator for full term that de-
wolves on the legislature. That body
could not I'LL vacancy; the governor
cannot elect senator
On the other hand is the claim that
1t Is not credible that the trainers of
the constitution contemplated that
state should be, by remsSness of the
legislature, left without its full repre-
sentation in the senate, and that the
word vacancy" should be given the
restricted meaning contended for;
that it occurs whenever. from any cause,
there IS no senator entitled to a seat.
The state is else hut half sovereign III
that body.
The question, however, is more a
theoretical than practical one. No
injury would be caused by the preva-
lence of either of these views. The de-
cision of the senate in this case will
have tendency to stop those senseless
deadlOcks, the outgrowth of personal
ambitions and hatreds. which have neu-
traliZed the efforts of the legislatures of
three states and deprived them tenn
porarily of a senator. If it will have
his effect it will be salutary, and in
that result there will be ample justifca-
ton for the decision of the senate.

EIGHTEEN PERISH.
Several Vessels Go Down on Long
Island Shore

SOUTHAMPTON, l.. L., Aug. "a
sells, coal barge and towing vessel,
were wrecked off the coast at this point,
following in the wake of the
severe storm last evening and
this morning. Up to the present
writing six men from the wrecked
vessels have been washed ashore out of
total crew of twenty-one men on both
vessels. The barge was seen about a
mile off the life-Saving station at 8
O'Clock this morning, in disabled con-
dltlon. A short time afterWard she
drlfted on the bar, aud COM
menced at once to go to pieces.
No sign of life was visible
about the vessel, and it is
supposed the crew of five men were
washed overheard and drowned. The
name of the barge is Lykeus Valley, of
Philadelphia, Capt. Scott. Six men
from the towing steamer reached shore,
three alive and three beyond resuscita-
ton. The fifteen other men OF the
crews are believed to have been
drowned. thus making the total loss
of life eighteen persons. One of the
survivors of the lost steamer proved to
be the assistant fireman, Albert Smith,
OF Philadelphia. He says they left
Philadelphia Monday OH the steamer
Panther with the barge in tow. They
had bad weather all the trip. When
nearly opposite Shinnecock lighthouse

and wrought considerable damage.
They were obliged to cut the
hawser and put to sea, but were soon
after struck by several immense seas,
and the vessel fOundered. The captain,
named Porter, and himself (Smith) chung
to the cabin for while, but were soon
knocked off this shelter He lost sight
of the captain an hour before reach
ing shore. The captains body has not
yet been washed ashore. The rescued
men were cared for by cottagers near
the beach,
