Cleveland has lately given
considerable attentionto the

has picked out the man and
that DISCRIMINATION will 90
to the Senate in a few days,
probably this week. Rumor
has connected the name Of
Chief Clerk Daniels ofthe In

position. Mr.. Daniels was
not an appllcantfo for the pos
ition, hut his experience as
editor and publisher OF news
papers in North Carolina
qualities him therefore shonId
it turn out that he is the
lucky man. Nearly every
Democratic Senator and Re
preventative has a personal
preference for public printer
but they will all be satisfied
to see the position filed by
any good Democrat who will
give the Democrats a show
at the three thousand posi-
tlons in the Government
Printing Office, a very large
majority Of which are still
filed by republicans.
A new batch of rumors con
cerning cabinet RESERVATIONS

is just about AZ much truth
in them as in those which
have been periodically sent

A Feminine Utopia.

Colorado at the November
election conferred theright OF
Suffrage upon the women Of
that State, and the feminine
leaders who have conducted
their opposed sisters out Of
the darkness of their politi-
cal Egypt are now smacking
theirLps over the prospec-
|tiye milk and honey of the
equal suffrage Canan. The
act comforting right to vote
provides "That every female
person shall be allowed t O
vote at all elections, in the
same manner in all respects
as male persons are or shall
be entitled to vote by theconI
stitution and laws of t hi g
State, and the same qualifi-
|cations as to age, citizenship
and time Of residence in the
State, county, city, ward and
precinct, and all other quail
fications required by law to
entitls male persons to vote
shall be required to entitle fe-
males to vote" In the midst
Foftheir triumph at The pas.
sage Of the act almost apan-
ic was caused among the la
dies by the startling sugges-
tion that they would be a.
|.menable not only to jury du-
|ty but to military service.
The necessity If telling their
ages was not, it is Malicious
ly asserted, regarded RS OBJ
jectiunale by the ladies, but
was, on the contrary, consld-
cred as affording an-excellent
opportunity Of rearranging
nataldates on a more salts
factory basis. Heretofore in
/ Colorado, rs it other places,
ladies have at times been sub
jected to unjust suspicious in
correction with their state
ments in regard to the peri
cd Of theirlnativity, and they
have themselves been known
occasionally to express skep-
Eticism in respectto such state
ments even when made b Y
their best female friends. But
1.-THE new suffrage law, it is be-
Elieved, will give all the ladies
a chance to make q fres h
start in the matter Of age,
removing all previous disa-

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1884,

1t is often asked why it is that
this old city continues to grow as
she does, without any special
causes at work to keep that growth
steadily and healthily going during
continued years OF drouth and
business depression. There is only
one answer, and that is, that the
old city cannot help it. She was
born to grow naturally and neces-
sarily, just as an infant grows, or a
healthy plant, or frisky colt. 1t
is in her blood and bones and she
must grow and that is all there is
about it.

There is more trouble brewing in
Chill. The Balmacedists are not

stir the government to establish
martial law at Santiago. That hot

Republican sentiments.

Brig Gen. Shoals, of the Northwest

He was eXch angling experiences with
well-fed-Iooking associates and discuss
ing finances with the air of United
States senator. In response to ques-
tions by GLOBE reporter. he
stated that the thirteen are here
getting out paper which
will be ready for sale this morning. 1t
contains three columns on the A. r. U.
troubles, and was printed in this city.
The men solicited advertisements from
the merchants in this city, but COM
planned of the poor success, and boaSted
that the time will come when the
same merchants will be glad to
shake them by the hand. Asked what
they expect to do, the reply came frum
half-dozen mouths: ''Force the gov
ernment 70 come to terms and make
times better" Maj. Gen. Shoals said
that there are now $4,000 common
wealers within twenty miles of Wash-
ington city. they are being supported
by people all over the country. S0ne
doubt being expressed as to the
ability TO support such all army, the
general replied that IL was provided for.
Why" added he, Il have an order in
my pocket for thirty eight carloads of
supplies. We have agents in all the
cities of the country collecting sup
plies and money" He said that the
time for walking had gone by for him.
He would not walk another foot of the
way. His army now numbers $500 men.
TniS evening he and the men here will
leave for Duluth. and on July or Z
they will all embark by steamer for
Buffalo He declared that million
men will be in Washington by Aug. l.
They will demand that enough money
be issued by the government to give
everybody plenty of work at good
wages, and make number of other de-
mands, which they claim will cause the
country TO bloom as did the garden OF

VEGETATION IS THRIVING
IN Spite ofthe Long Spell OF Dry
Weather.

IN Spite ofthe Long Spell OF Dry
Weather.
The weather crop bulletin of the
Minnesota weather service for the week
follows:
There have been frequent and bene-
fetal rains during the week, which have
greatly improved the condition Of all
vegetation. The temperature has con-
tinued warmer than usual. High winds
on Wednesday did comparatively little
damage to crops. but were very de.
structive to buildings. One hundred
and nineteen reports from sixty wheat
producing counties show its condition
to be quite as good as usual. The
drouth has caused the stand to be thin
out nearly everywhere with the straw
rather short, but the color is generally
excellent. Most all Of the correspond
ents report the heads healthy and of
good length. Some slight damage has
been done by hail in few places. The
drouth in the southwestern part of the
state is broken. and, although much i'm
proved, yields will be very light. Some
winter wheat will be harvested in the
southern counties this week. Oats
have suffered more than wheat and the
prospects of good yield are poor.
Barley is turning and cutting will be-
gin in about week. Winter rye
harvest has begun. This crop suffered
comparatively little from the drouth,
and the yield promises to be large
one.
