K. Y. Times— (lnct. Rep.) And what signifies in a broader sense this persistent adulation of a man who has no record as a genuine statesman, no character for uprightness or disinter ested patriotism, and whose hold on his admirers is due to a certain reckless daring, a brilliant smartness in dealing with political adversaries, and a pan dering to prejudices and passions in stead of appealing to convictions and a sense of right. Such gross infatuation in a Democrotic republic, such exalta tion of an "uncrowned king," with no better title to respect than Mr. Blame, lias its oninious aspect. If such things can be, what might be the consequence if at some critical time a really great man should arise among us and by his genius and great services in the crisis command the well-earned admiration of the people"? What might he not do if dispose I to arrogate power to himself? No; the people of this country want no uncrowned kings, no idols of a party or of a faction, and this persistent effort to thrust into prominence and greatness a man whom the people have refused to honor because lie has failed to deserve it, will damage the party in whose name it is done. TO-MORROW'S CONVENTION. That a crisis in the history of Minne nesota Democracy will be reached in the convention which assembles in this city to-morrow is felt by all who have observed the current of political events within the last few months. To those who" only care to revel in the excitement of politics without any thought to the consequences the assembling of the state convention to-morrow lias been eagerly looked forward to as an excep tionally enjoyable occasion to be dis tinguished for its intense factional bit terness and to be a monkey-and-parrot time generally. There are others, how ever, by whom the occasion will be viewed in a more serious light. Those who are actuated solely by prin ciple, who have no enjoyment from political excitement, and who take no comfort in factional wrangles or in per sonal jealousies, are filled with more or less apprehension. To their mind the situation presents the aspect of a crisis in the history of the party, and upon the determination of to-morrow's pro ceedings will depend the hope of Dem ocratic success in this state. When it is remembered ' that when the sentiment of the people of this 6tate is so largely in accord with the doctrines of the national Democratic party* on the leading issue of the cam paign, it is hard to explain to those who are unfamiliar with our local poli tics why Minnesota cannot be counted upon as a reliable Democratic state. To those of our own people who have no political ambition beyond the desire to secure the establishment of Democratic principles it is a mystery why the Democratic party in this state cannot be relied on to do the right thing and at the right time. But to those who are acquainted with the selfish purposes of some of the prominent leaders of the party, and who have observed the rule or ruin policy they have adopted in their party domination, it is not a difficult task to trace the causes that have led up to the complications which now con front the party and menace the integ rity of the Democratic organization. There has never been a time in the liistory of the Democratic party in this state when the prospect for success was so bright as it is this year, provided wis dom is displayed in the selection of a state ticket, and prudence is exercised in the management of the campaign. And yet there never was a time when a hopeful prospect could be so readily blighted. A step in the right direction can assure victory. A step in the wrong direction will not only make defeat a certainty, but will result in completely shattering all Demociatic organization. Thus it is the delegates who assemble in convention to-morrow will be con fronted with the grave responsibility of deciding in what direction the step shall be taken. There is a story told of Custer, the dashing cavalry leader, that in a certain battle, when his troops were drawn up in line toady for a charge, another cav alry officer, jealous of Custer's au thority, rode to the front of the line and claimed the right to command the brig ade. Addressing the ambitious officer, Custer said: "Gen. ,in one min ute I shall give the command to charge. You have stationed yourself in front of my column. If you remain in your pres ent position you will be ridden down as sure as hell." At a wave of Custer's sword, the bugles rang out the signal for the charge, the ambitious officer was prudent to save his bacon by riding to the rear, while Custer's men swept on to a splendid victory. If in to-morrow's convention there be persons who hold their individual pro motion to be paramount to party unity, then in all wisdom the convention can only adopt Custer's tactics and bid them stand aside or be ridden down by the party as it sweeps on to victory. THAT PUBLIC HALL. Aside from the methods he proposes to be employed in raising the money, there can be no objection to the plan submit ted by Mr. Smalley to the chamber of commerce yesterday with regard to the building of a public hall. The necessity for such a building, and at this particu lar time, is too apparent to admit of con troversy. We need it, and need it badly, nor can it be constructed too soon. But it is hardly worth while to waste time in discussing such a plan as has been proposed for raising the money. The very fact that the city has no power to sell Smith park precludes all discussion of the matter. But. if it had the authority to dispose of it we do not think it would b.- good policy to do so. Instead of there being any oc casion for getting rid of any of our parks or public squares we need to ac quire more of them. Our scarcity of parks is the greatest drawback the city has to endure, and under such circum stances it would be worse than folly to convert those we have to other uses. • It is also a question whether, if the money were in the public treasury, the city council would have the right to ap propriate it to the building of a hall of the description indicated by Mr. Smal i.i;y: report. At all events, it would probably require special legislation to invest council with that authority. The hall, if built at all, must be built by in dividual enterprise, and it is best to recognize this fact in the beginning. Fully appreciating, as we do, the ne cessity for such a building, there cer tainly ought to be enterprise enough among our citizens to construct it, just as our Minneapolis friends put their shoulders to the wheel and their hands into their pockets when it became neces sary for them to have an Exposition building. SUI GENERIS. To the Editor of the Globe. To which political party do the anarchists, dynamiters and socialists naturally cling to? 11. Minneapolis, Aug. 13. While the Republican party is largely responsible for the conditions which have generated social disorder in this country, the anarchists and dynamiters stand on their own platform. It is needless to say that their platform is usually built by the sheriff, out of stout oaken boards with a perfect drop attach ment. >■»» EDITORIAL MENTION. Bob Ingersoll has no religion, but his gallantry toward the fair sex amounts almost to religious enthusiasm. He has been making public his opinions on divorce laws, in which he holds that while marriage is a contract sacred in its nature, it is not one of equal obliga tions, since the increased freedom of divorce which he advocates would favor the wife only. In his opinion the hus band should only be discharged from the bonds of matrimony when the wife '■has broken the conditions" whereas the wife "should be entitled to a di vorce simply for the asking, and with out being required to give any other reason than that she found her husband unsatisfactory." *" .* Dr. Brooks, the Prohibition candi date for vice president, says that for the life of him he cannot see how a Republican, who professes to be a Christian, can kneel and pray to his God "Thy kingdom come" and then vote the Republican ticket with its free whisky attachment. * - Boi*langer seems to be as fond of free advertising as a stage star. It is anything to keep his name before the public Having no diamonds to be stolen, the next best advertising dodge he can hit on is to let somebody shoot at him. It is a dull day for 800 l an ger when there is no sensationalism in the air. ' * * . The tooting of the organs is heard in all the land calling up the time servers to come forward and wear the collars which the political bosses have ready to put on their necks. It must be an awfully mean feeling these collar wearers experience— to know that they are the object of public derision and that they must forever ana forever walk in the valley of humiliation. The man who is always in position to assert his manhood, is really the only man who can preserve his self-respect or command the respect of others. * * A St. Cloud correspondent, who says he is a Republican to the backbone, wants to know if the Globe really thinks that the Republicans of Minne sota in their state convention will in dorse the tariff rot in the Chicago plat form. If they do not indorse it, what's the use of calling themselves Repub licans. The Democrats are the ones who do not indorse the tariff rot in the Chicago platform. The Chicago plat form is now the only standard for Re publican measurement. * * It is singular that his own party man agers will insist on roasting Harrison so terribly by arranging these triumph ant tours for James G. Blame. Each demonstration of this kind is a rebuke to the Chicago convention for not nomi nating the man who lias the fee simple title to the party in his pocket. Every boost of Blame adds that much to Harrison's humiliation. ■ STATE PRESS. Deserve to Win. Wahpeton Times. Now let the Democratic convention nomi nate Eugene M. Wilson and go to the country with a clean, clear-cut reform and lifelong Democrat, and they will deserve to win the day. The people will know just what they are voting for tariff reform or monopoly and if the farmers insist on monopoly, let 'em go in their ill-advised judgment; the Democratic party can stand it if the farmers can. Gets There. Wahpeton Globe. The St. Paul Globe seems to have no friends at all, but, like the bedbug, it gets there just the same with the people, who like a spicy newspaper. The Globe— treacherous and unstable is not the prime favorite with Democrats it used to be. >•- MY KING! i. You are all that I have to live for— All that I want to love, .

SHOT DAUGHTER Whom He Mistook for a Burglarious - Tramp. Death Calls the Roll for Two Prominent Pioneers. Wedded a Cow Puncher After Giving Him a Stake. Casualties Apparently Are Epidemic Throughout the Northwest. Special to the Globe. Omaha, Neb., Aug. 13.— A Bee spe cial from Sterling, Neb., says: Satur day uight Lettie Walker, "the seven year-old daughter of H. N. Walker, re siding just outside the city limits, was shot by her father who mistook her for a burglar. The little girl had gone out of the house while her parents were asleep, and on returning the opening of the door, which was swollen by the rain, awoke her father, who had recently been bothered by tramps. Seeing a figure in the doorway he asked who was there, and receiving no reply fired. The ball struck the girl in the left breast, lodging under her shoulder blade. Recognizing the voice of his daughter by her screams the horrified father gathered her in his arms and laid her on the bed. Her condition is very critical, but the doctors think she may recover. DROWNED IN LAKE PEPIN Before a Rescuing Party Reached Him. Special to the Globe. Red Wing, Aug. Joseph Hum pert, of this city, was drowned yester day in Lake Pepin, on an excursion trip from this city to Wabasha on the steamer Sea Wing. He was leaning against a safety post when it gave way, precipitating him into the water. A boat was immediately put out, but he could not be reached in time to be saved. Deceased was twenty-six years of age, a German by birth and had resided here five years. He was employed at the brewery of A. Remmler, and was vice president of Teutonia Lodge No. 9, O. D. H. S., and a member of German Hose Company No. 3. Fred Tebbenjohanns, who was dyna mo tender at the Globe electric light and power works here up to Aug. 1, left this city for Minneapolis Friday, Aug. 8. The following day he was seen at the Windsor hotel, Minneapolis, since which time nothing has been heard or seen of him. lie was married two months ago to Miss Minnie Lowatti, who is prostrated over his disappearance. No cause can be assigned for the act. and it is feared that he has met with some accident or was the victim of foul play. At a special council meeting held this evening it was decided to grade and plat a portion of Oak wood cemetery not vet made use of. Steps were also taken looking toward the proper drainage of property in East Bed Wing. Miss Lulu Danforth has accepted a nositioii as principal of a school at Salt Lake City, Utah. Became a Cowboy's Bride. Special to the Globe. Billings, Mont.. Aug. 13.— Edna Wil son, a pretty blonde of Mutuse, Wyo., was entrusted with 5310 and a well equipped horse on the 2d inst. to go on a visit to her sister, a few miles dis tant from her home. Instead of doing so, however, she eloped with a cowboy named Al JlcComas, and no traces can be found of the couple. BIT OFF HIS EAR. Lively Times in a Dakota Settle ment. Special to the Globe. Grafton, Dak., Aug. 13.— Lightning struck the house of a farmer near here this morning and tore it to pieces, breaking timbers and windows alike, and badly, if not fatally, injuring a woman and child. While playing with a revolver yester day, a boy named Kehoe shot his play mate, Bruce Jackson, in the head. The ball was extracted, and it is hoped the boy will recover. A man by the name of Thompson pounded his farm hand until his face looked like a piece of beef steak, be cause he asked him for 75 cents which he owed him. The marshal at St. Thomas chewed the ear off Tom McDonald Sunday, and he came to Grafton tor justice. FIGHTING LOCAL OPTION But "Willing to Pay Big License Fees. Special to the Globe. Grand Forks, Dak., Aug. Grand Forks to-day had a series of accidents, one nearly fatal. While John Olson was digging a sewer on Third street the earth caved in and buried him to the neck. Men rushed to his rescue and worked hard for half an hour before they extricated him. He was removed to his boarding house when it was found that his left side was crushed badly and that he had sustained internal injuries. B. J. Hart fell from a dray and broke his shoulder blade. He will be unable to use his arm for some time. - Joe Mercere, working in Walker's saw mill, was struck by carrying logs, which caught his foot and broke his leg, besides injuring him internally. The liquor men of this city held a meeting Saturday, and a large sum was subscribed to fight local option this fall. Saloon men are willing to pay a license fee of $1,000, but declare local option a failure and want to sell liquor, legally. No effort has been made to stop the sale of whisky. The temperance people are in session to-day, and some steps may probably be taken to close the saloons aud enforce the local option law. GIVEN THE RU N. The lowan, Who Was Tarred and Feathered, Not Wanted by Ne braskans. . Nebraska City, Neb., Aug. 13.— Frank Phillips, the man who was tarred and feathered at Shenandoah, 10., a few days ago for an attempted assault, was in the city last night and told his story to a crowd on the street corner.

Washington, Aug. 13.— The debate on the fishery treaty was continued in the senate to-day. Mr. Edmunds called up his resolution asking for information from the department of justice as to a letter said to have been written by the acting attorney general to the super visor of elections in the city of New York stating that the supervisor of elections would be paid for five days' service only during the November elec tion. Mr. Edmunds said that he under stood that the head of the de partment of justice had under taken to notify the supervisor of elections in New York in advance that while the statute gave an inspector ten days in which to perform his duties he would be paid for only five days. If that statement were true it would seem to require some explanation as to what authority the department of justice claimed to have in determining how long an officer should be paid for a serv ice imposed upon him by statute. The resolution was adopted. Consideration of the fisheries treaty was then resumed. Mr. Call, of Florida, spoke in favor of its ratification. Mr. Call was followed by Mr. Gray, of Delaware, who urged the advisability of postponing further consideration of the treaty until a more quiet season when there was no political excitement. The issues involved were too momentous ' TO re lightly dealt with. The fishermen, whose rights were the subject-matter of the treaty, were pur suing their avocation undisturbed, un der the protocol attached to the treaty. Mr. Gray then proceeded to criticize a published letter purporting to be from C. L. Woodbury, which stated that the twelfth article of the treaty gave away the rights of the states to control their territorial waters. He declared that this was an absolute fatuous argument; that it was unlawyer-like and nonsens ical. He did not believe that Mr. Wood bury had ever risked his high profes sional reputation by such an argument. He asserted that the claim of Canada over its bays was as absolute as the claim of Maryland to jurisdiction over Chesa peake bay. These waters were as much a part of the local jurisdiction as the solid ground covered by corn fields and houses. The pending treaty came to the senate ear-marked with the justice and magnanimity which should belong ■ to-, a great people. ,It surrendered nothing and asked nothing which a proud and free people should not ask. Mr. Gray said that no taunt could be so irritating as the taunt that Democratic senators were arguing the case of Great Britain. The Democratic party had al ways been ready to press to the extreme everything that concerned the country's right and honor. Mr. Beck referred in cidentally to the duty on Bessemer steel by which, he said, Mr. Carnegie had given a bonus of $1,500,000. so that he could carry in his carriage through out Scotland the WARWICK OF THE REPI'RLICAN PARTY, who had now come back to this country "to belittle all the rest of the Repub licans." Mr. Gray again resuming, complimented Mr. Sherman on the statesmanlike exordium of his recent speech, but said that when he got down from- the plane of statesmanship to that of partisanship, he- floundered. Con cluding, Mr. Gray said, that if the treaty should be rejected and the an noyances to American fishermen should be renewed, the responsibility would fall on those .who voted to reject the treaty. Mr. George read from the Boston Herald the report of a meeting of the "Deep Sea Assemblage, K. of L.," held at Gloucester, at which resolutions were passed protesting against the fish trust, and favoring . competition as the only remedy. He asked Mr. Hoar if the Herald's report of the meeting might be relied on? i Mr. Hoar said that there were a great many things in that paper that would very much mislead anybody, but it would not publish a narrative of facts which it did not believe to be entirely true. Continuing, he said that the pic ture which the assemblage of Gloucester Knights of Labor had drawn of the fish ermen and the fishery interests, and of the laboring men and capitalists of Massachusetts was a slander. There was not a basis of truth in it. As to the lecture read to the senate by Mr. George, he thought it exceeded the lim its of comedy and burlesque for that senator, whose ideas of capital and la bor, until within the last twenty-five years, were that capital should own la bor and have a . RIGHT TO WHIP THE LABORER and separate him from his wife and sell his children, to get up in the senate and undertake to taunt the people of Massa chusetts about shackles and unrequited labor. That senator's later notions would be found on the records of the senate in the Copiah and Jackson re port's; and Lis style of mathematics (ap plied to the counting of votes) would be made known before the close of this session. Mr. George rose to reply, but on motion of Mr. Beck, the senate at 6:15 adjourned. iV^ LITTLE PHIL'S WILL. It Is Admitted to Probate in Washington. I Washington, Aug. 13.— will of the late Gen.

The exposition opens 'one week from to-morrow and there is every indication that the first day will find the great show with its exhibits in all depart ments in almost perfect order. One would hardly think this, glancing over the immense area of space yet to be filled, but word has been received from nearly every exhibitor that the displays are all in readiness, and can be brought in and set up within five days. The carpenters were busy yesterday putting up stands in the pool upon which will be placed urns filled with foliage plants, Shrubs and vines. At the center is a platform, upon which will be placed a banana tree, with plants, vines, etc. There will also be large hanging baskets suspended over the pool filled with flowers, while the rare and beautiful plants will adorn the edges. There will be a fountain at either end,and the home of the alligator will rival in beauty the cypress lagoons of Florida. The work of cataloguing, cleaning and hanging pictures in the art gallery is progressing rapidly. Yesterday a collection of eighteen paintings by W. H. Billiard, representing six years of work abroad, were placed in position. Mr. Hilliard who has just returned from Europe has stopped in the city on his way to Cali fornia, and will remain during a portion of the exposition. He declares that the art gallery is one of the finest collections of oil paintings he has ever seen. lie seemed to take quite as much interest in the efforts of the amateurs as the professional artists and spent the after noon looking for indications of latent talent and inspiration. He found one picture, that of a windmill with a sky aud water effect, which ha declared worthy to be hung beside more ambitious efforts upstairs. The paint ing is by Mrs. George C. Hyser, of this city, and the lady would doubtless feel flattered if she knew of the favorable comment her work received from so capable a judge. Mr. Hilliard's collec tion embraces several of the best pict ures. "Love's offering," a handful of roses, is one. It comes from the Royal Academy at London and has received three first-class prizes . "The Old Hay Boat on the Rhine" is another picture remarkable for its strength in color and drawing. There are also a number of his studies in Hol land and Venice, but the picture that is certain to catch the popular fancy is a bit .of landscape from the Conway meadows of New Hampshire. Another addition was received yester day over which Supt. Smith is highly gratified— collection of fourteen water colors, several of wnich are salon pict ures, the work of Miss Cecile Payeu, of St. Paul. A circular was yesterday received giving the programme for newspaper men's day, Sept. 0, decided upon by the executive committee of the Minnesota Editorial association. James Vick, the great florist of Rochester, N. V., writes that he has already shipped a portion of his floral display, and will soon come on with the balance. lie desires 100 feet of table room four feet wide. What looks to be a section of a build ing five stories high has been placed on the west end of the light well. It is to be used for the pompier drill on fire men's day. TO HIS OWN SHAME. A Witness' Position in a Divorce Case— The Court Unsatisfied. Henry J. Detweiler, formerly a con ductor on the motor, was the plaintiff in a divorce case which was tried yester day before Judge Rea. He testified that his age was twenty-nine and that Hattie Detweiler, the defendant, was twenty-one years old ; that he was mar ried to her at Columbus, 0., in ISS3, and that the issue of the marriage is two children aged two and four years respectively. He said that about a year ago his wife drove him out of the house and threw a brick at him and declared that she would leave him, and that soon after she took the children and went to her former home in Ohio, where she is now living. He said that about two weeks ago he was told that she had committed adultery with W. J. Cook, who formerly clerked in the grocery store of Morse & Co., at 410 West Lake street, and consequently he desires a divorce and the custody of the children. W. J. Cook, a young man of rather a sheepish appearance, tes tified that he formerly delivered groceries at Detweiler's house, and that on the 28th of August, 1887, he committed adultery with Mrs. Det weiler in a room over the grocery store. George D. Emery, Detweiler's attorney, then stated to the court that the evi dence submitted constituted the case, and asked that a divorce be granted. The court stated that he could not grant a divorce on the uncorroborated evi dence of a particeps criniiuis, and that more evidence must be submitted. Emory was then sworn and testified that Detweiler came to hint about June 1, and told him that his wife had left him and that he wanted to get a divorce and get control of the children. He said he told him that he had no ground for a divorce unless he could prove that his wife had been guilty of immoral conduct, and that if he could find some one who had com mitted adultery with her he could make an agreement with them that if they would testify in the case that they should not be prosecuted. A few weeks later Detweiler came back to his office with Cook, who told him what he had just testified to. The court, however, said that he must have better evidence and that he would hold the case open to give them a chance to get it. ::'"'■-:• --ALL. SORTS. The attention of Sidewalk Inspector De Harven is respectfully called to that piece of walk almost in front of the office of the surveyor general, on Nicol let island. It is in a disgraceful condi tion, and two men have already been hurt there.

Harry Rosenberg is the name given by a fly young Israelite who was quietly indicted by the grand jury at its last session for the larceny of jewelry valued at $800 from Benjamin Cardoza, at 413 Nicollet avenue. .About two months ago Rosenberg was introduced to Cardoza by a commercial traveler. He proved to be a very smooth talker and induced Cardoza to employ him as a traveling salesman. He was given an outfit val ued at $800, and after inducing Cardoza to advance about $400 on drafts, which proved to be worthless, he disappeared. It was supposed for awhile he had gone East, but he was finally heard of at Mandan. Inspector Hoy was sent after him Friday and found his man at Dick inson. He was arrested and brought to the city Sunday, and yesterday com mitted to the county jail. He has con fessed that he disposed of the goods to a well known firm in the city before leaving Minneapolis, and a portion of them have been recovered. Rosenberg is said to have also swindled Simon, the pawnbroker of St. Paul, out of sev eral hundred dollars, by the bogus check racket. DREAD HYDROPHOBIA.

Some three weeks ago little Joseph Demars, two and one-half years of age, residing on the comer of Broadway and University avenue northeast, was at tacked by a mad dog and terribly lar cerated. The police at once started in pursuit of the. dog, but did not kill it until it had bitten several other dogs. Dr. T. L. Laliberte was called to attend the injured child and worked over him for a long time. At first it was thought that the baby had not been inoculated with the terrible disease, and the parents congratulated themselves that the affair was no worse. Friday afternoon the little one was taken sick and acted in a peculiar man ner. The attending physician was at once called. Saturday the patient was put to bed. The little one's sufferings were intense, but nothing could be done, and last night at l) o'clock he died in the most horrible agony. Since Sat urday he has not eaten a morsel of food or drank a drop of water. MORE THAN THREE OF 'EM. The Tailors Discuss Current Labor Problems.
