TIME FOB A CHANGE. The Republican Standard Bearer Will Do His Mas ters' Bidding;, ftnd These Masters Are the Men the Common People Are After. The Farmers Are Up in Arms in All Parts of the State. h. Graphic Review of G. 0. P. Demoralization by A. S. Edwards. The interests of the state demand a new deal in the state house. It is time that the people have an in ning. Turn the barnacles that have been clinging to the bottom of the ship of state for a third of a century adrift, and have their deeds and especially their misdeeds investigated. The rings have had things their own way for so many years that they have come to think that they own the state. Notice the difference in the two candi dates for governor, Lawler and Nelson. One has gone up and down through the state, promising the people relief in case of his election, at the same time exposing the abuses that have so lone existed in the state government; the other has promised nothing, devoting his entire time to defending his very peculiar record. In a campaign lasting through three long months the opponents of gallant Dan W. Lawler have been unable to lino* a sintrle flaw in his character. The Republican managers have not attacked Mr. Lawler because they dared not. No other Demor-rat of prominence, living or dead, candidate or not a can didate, has escaped their volleys of mud, so frantically and wildly fired by the despairing defenders and agents of the various rings that are now and have for so long been on top in this state. Knute Nelson has promised the peo ple no measures ot relief in case he is elected chief executive of the state. Mr. Nelson is the railroad candidate. 'Tis true that he has tried to deny this, but how. By explaining that he was for a time, but resigned the job several years atro. If this statement or explanation's true, Mr. Nelson should explain why it was that during the last, few years win n 111 St. Paul, he has always been found in the ottice of one of the great railway corporations. There is not a man who has ever tried to meet Mr. Nelson in •St. Paul, previous to this campaign and since he retired from congress, who has not found him at the office of this rail way company. And, by the way. he called at this same oflice the clay following his nomi nation in company with .Judge D. B. Searle, the Republican nominee for congress in the .sixth district. But there is no necessity for argument on this point. The people know that there will be no railroad legislation under Mr. Nel son as governor. They know that the state railroad commission will continue to be the use less and worthless appendage it has been for years to the great political ma chine of the state in case Mr. Nelson is made governor. Dan Lawler has promised the people relief. Knute Kelson lias evasively denied that he has been a railroad attorney, and is now the corporation candidate for governor. But the people will not be fooled this year. Dan Lawler has promised the fanners a free wheat market, and exposed the combine that has been fattening oil of the tanners. Knute Nelson iias promised nothing, ami declared that there is no wheat combine. This issue is plain and clear enough for every one to comprehend it. If the farmers ana business men of the stale believe in a closed market and the continuance of the combine they will vote for .Mr. Nelson. It they be lieve otherwise they will Vote for Lawler and a new deal. The iron ring is for Mr. Nelson be cause it means a saving of at least a hundred thousand dollars a year in the way of taxes. Of course tne fanners must pay the taxes this corporation evades, and in addition pay the expenses of the militia whenever the iron com pany cuts the wanes of its employes and the latter object to new men being imported to till their places. The laboring men of this state should | remember that Capt. Joe Sellwood. of Ely, is a member of the Republican I state central committee, and that he is the manager of the Minnesota Iron company. If Nelson is elected it m^ans that the Minnesota Iron company, which pays | but ss.ooo per year in taxes, will be i furnished police protection by the state : militia at a cost of two or three times ' tins paltry sum whenever Capt. Sell wood demands it. Shall that provision of the state con stitution, which says that all taxes shall Jje uniform and equal, be enforced or !C the fanners of this state believe that * should not, a:;d that there should be (nieVay of levying the farmers' takes, and another of levvintr the taxes of this iron company, they should vote for Knute Nelson. If. on the contrary, the farmers and business men believe that all men -should stand equal before the law they I will Vote for Lawler anil a new deal. CONFESS THKISt DEFEAT. A. S. Edwards, Aftor a Tour of the State, Gives His Impres sions. There are a few men of the Populist faith engaged in a very earnest cam paign in this state. One of them is A. ij. Edwards, of Minneapolis, whom a GLOBE representative met here yester day. Mr. Edwaids has been at work since the campaign opened in the south ern portion of the stale, has covered a dozen or niore counties, and had as good opportunity to farm an intelligent opin ion on the political outlook as any other man in the field. The Gi.obk man found him brimming with confidence and positive in his views. "It is reported that there is a crowing dissatisfaction among Populists and Democrats over the electoral ticket. What have you to say about that?" he was asked. "That Is a report made up, without reference to facts, by a lot of scared politicians. There is no truth in it. It comes from a lot of despt rate dry-[roods box Republicans, who realize that their The on!}- Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. — No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes — 40 Years the Standard. game is up. that power is slipping out of their hands, and whose uuhappiness is commensurate with the calamity that confronts them. The truth of the mat ter is that what they expected tojol'ow the choice of four ropulist electors to (ill up the Democratic ticket, that b, a breaking away of voters from the Peo ple's party, has not transpired, and in consequence they are greatly enraeed and sorely perplexed. The report is groundless; dissatisfaction is not only not growing, it has not even sprouted. "And it wont sprout. Why should it? Populists are pretty good politicians. They will vote their own electoral ticket, and they have too much good sense to kk'k against independent Dem ocrats, or Republicans, supporting a portion of tlteir ticket. You see.o ne of the tasks to which the Populists have set Mieir hands is the smashing of the Republican machine, and they are Tickled Mightily to find others ready to come far enough out of their way to do the job with neat ness and dispatch. There is no more real ground for this claim of Kepub lican newspapers than there is for that made by some of their candidates for the legislature in districts where 1 have been that they are going to be elected. Why, some of these community poli ticians, with a notion in their heads that they are rising statesmen, really seem to think their election certain in districts where there is no necessity of holding an election, except for the form and legality of the thing. The result is already known to a majority of the voters, and Kepublicaus who have been nominated with only one apparent ob ject, the re-election of C. K.Davis, will split their shirts in rage after Nov. 8 because they were so easily deceived by the .Republican press clamor that this movement for reform was all wind. There are Dlenty of districts where a Republican has no more chance that; a house-ily in a gale of wind." "How'do you account for such a con dition?" "At bottom it is owing to a change in the public mind, brought about by two main causes; first, a change in indus trial conditions through the modern combine and syndicate, and the dis placement of old ideas by the new thought of the cranks and visionaries, so-called, of the Alliance and the labor organizations. It is iroing to be made effective by a unitication of these forces with the honest and progressive demo cratic element in this state, for the ex press and unconcealed purpose ot breaking down Republican rule in Minnesota and the nation at large. Very naturally, Republicans object, and in their impotent rage they call it a 'plot fo"rs control of ihe spoils' and 'an iufamou conspiracy.' "Weil, Populists read the address of the Republican committee, bristling with such choice gems and frantic ex hortation, then throw it into the gutter and keep right on "in the middle of the road.' There is really notning in the nature of a plot or conspiracy on the part of the people. The conspirators are the rings, combines and political brigands whose powers are going to be paralyzed at the polls next month. That's the trouble with the party rep resented by Jamison, Bixby & Co., in St. Paul, and that jabbering Victim ol° Alcoholism, Col. Plummet 1 , on the stump. The peo ple are laughing everywhere at that address, intemperate in language, ab surd in assumptions, it is everywhere taken as a confession of defeat for the God}- and-morality-only-safe- honest aud-puttiutic party of the spoils, by the spoils and for the spoils." "Why, the Minneapolis Journal folks, who print an independent newspaper (between elections), sent out great bun dles of extras containing that address, and in 0..c town I walked on a carpet of the hypocritical thing from the hotel to my meeting place. The address says of the determination of the people to have representation in the national legislature: "It is an attempt to de prive this trreat commonwealth of her vote and rights in the selection of a president and of her rightful share in the national legislation.' Not so; it is the first and necessary step towards the ultimate overthrow of a political party that, professing to be the friend of labor, legislates in the interest of mo nopolists. It is a righteous combina tion to rid this great commonwealth of an organized hypocrisy with the most capacious stomach tor oftice and cap- | itaiistic plunder tnis world has ever seen. 1) is a very proper and highly i approved attempt 10 secure to a large majority of the people of this great com monwealth their right to defeat for tr.e office of president one who secured his nomination by and with the support, of great railroad corporations and an order known as the G. O. P., which, being: in terpreted, means, "Guild of Official Parasites," and whose policies are not designed to promote the general wel fare. It is an attempt to secure to a majority a just and rightful share in the national legislature. For. be it remem bered, that at the last state election the Republicans were in a minority of iiO.ooy. That address represents a waste of may matter of the brain, white paper and much money taken from honest in dustry without an equivalent. •'We are on the threshold of a newer and a better Democracy; the people are getting opinions of their own. The lie publican party leaders have taken a po sition on our line of march, with no vision of progress, but only a record be fore which we are expected to prostrate ourselves. But we are going to put them to rout, capture their works, 'bust 1 the machine ana then— the way will be clear for more conquests. .lust add. if you please, that the Globe's splendid ami effective light in this campaign against the combined tyranny of Republicanism and our greedy modern commercialism is every where applauded. ' LO A GOOD SOIiDIER. Inspector General Breckini-idge Commends Indian Recruits. Washington, Oct. 2l». — luspector General J. C. Breckinridge, of the army, in his annual report to the general com- I maiming, expresses satisfaction with the quality of recruits enlisted during tiie year as compared with those heretofore furnished. There has been, he says, difficulty experienced in obtaining the requisite number to fill vacancies. The effort to improve the type of recruits continues aud is meeting with as much success as could be expected. The Indian troops' improvement is generally of a gratifying character, al though in some localities little if any progress has been made toward filling the infantry companies. These troops are described as amenable to discipline, I generally of good habits and proud of j their occupation, and, considering their ignorance of the English language, their I progress in drill has been extraordinary. The discipline he reports as excellent and the behavior of troops good. In conclusion, Gen. Breckinridge says ] thar poverty and desolation of the wid i ows and orphans of military men sug | gest that the government, like some I corporations, should provide a compul sory system of life insurance in the army. BACK TO THK WHITE HOUSE. President Harrison Returns to His Bereaved Home. Washington. Oct. 29.— The pre*i THE PAINT PAUL UAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY* MORNING. OCTOBER 30, 1892.— TWENTY PAGE 3. dential special arrived in Washington at 5 o'clock this evening with its dis tinguished load, having made the trip from Indianapolis to this city without notable incident in twenty-two and a half hours. Running ahead of the reg ular limited, the special was restricted to no schedule and came in an hour before it was expected, so that there were about the station few besides the usual number congregated there to take out morning trains or to meet frieuds. They massed on each side of the gate way, and through them the occupants of the special passed rapidly to their carriages and were driven to their sev eral residences. The president and his family entered the White house carriage at the station, and when they reached the mansion and had greeted the little ones retired to their rooms. The president showed but few traces of unusual fatigue after his sad journey. Newark, ()., Oct. 29. — Shortly before midnight last night the president's train struck some obstruction on the track one mile out of B'.'Haire. Several slabs in the cowcatcher were broken and a drawhead of a car was smashed. It took over half an hour to repair the damages, but the president and other passengers were not toid of the acci dent. ON A SLUMMING TOUR. Ladies Who Made the 9 istake of Being Too Inquisitive. Cincinnati Enauirer. Recently 1 went out with a slumming party, some of whom were ladies. The ladies were curious to see one of these concert halls. They were confident under the protection of their brave cavaliers and became insistent. I be thought myself of this resort ot tame working people, which was sufficiently dirty to impress the ladies with the idea of having slummed satisfactorily, and so I led the way, gaily descanting upon the anteater and cow-like grace of the pork-eating habitues. We hied in and found the dance in high feather. But, gruesome fate, where were my onion eaters, my pranc ing cows and hard-handed toilers, who dance like sportive swine? They were likewise somewhere else. Instead, the floor was dizzy with swishing drapery and white shoes and whirling chic, reeling In a wild waltz with active youth. whose patent leathers swung rtith rhythm and eclat. There was the same portrattof Mr.Sullivanand the same cuffs upon the beer. Tho ladies of my party were interested, but directed upon me questioning and pity ing glances- I swore again that 1 never drank, but one of them pretended to nr.d my name upon a beer mug. We departed soon. One of the young men has a careless way of calling a spade a spade. Unfortunately, one" of the ladies "directed the query as to what manner of women the merry houris of the dance might be. He replied with his usual carelessness, and the ladies arose at once. I had to follow my party. 1 managed to reinstate myself some what by relating the episode during my previous visit of a heavyweight belle of the ball who danced so blooming hard that her glass eye came out. Her partner was evidently prepared for just this contingency, because he instantly ex tended a parachute-like paw and caught the falling orb successfully and se renely. The sight of the heavy-weight belle of the ball ceasing her evolutions and receiving the gingerly lingered eye into its gaping orbit, with a smirk like a giddy youiis thing having a caramel stuck in her mouth, was a spectacle to move the gods. Although thus fairly restored to favor, I determined to nevermore indulge in pre-visit tales and added another lesson to balance my cash. WITH A POLAR BEAR. The Latest Yarn From the Truth Corner or the Little Hatchet Club. St. Louis Globe Democrat. •'I had an unpleasant encounter with a polar bear last spring," said Dick Goodhue, of the Lindell Hotel Little Hatchet club. "No, it was not amid Greenland's icy mountains or the eter nal snows of Spitzbenren. It was among the waving palms and green orange groves of Cuba. A menagerie was exhibiting at Havana, and 1 at tended, accompanied by a young lady who was teaching me how to con jugate the verb love in the soft tonsue of (.'astile. The crowd had left the tent and we were about to follow, when the cry was raised that the ani mals were escaping. Home meddlesome pickaninny had been fooling with the latch on the cage where two monster polar bears were tryinE to keep cool, and i had got it unfastened. The keener ! stopped to cull' yountr Africa before re- ! fastening the door, and while he was j doing so the male bear escaped. My companion fled like a wild goat to the top .seat in the amphitheater and the at taches of the menagarie followed suit. "Bruin madejstraisht for his colored liberator, who was so dazed by fright and" the culling he had received, that lie was tillable to move. The bear rolled him over with his huge paw, snuffed at him, then picked him up with his Fore paws and rising on his hind legs started to carry him back of the cage, where lie could feast upon him at leisure. A half inch tent rope was coiled near the cage.. I hastily formed a slip-noose, threw it over bruin"s head and jerked him over backward. As he fell he dropped the boy, who ran like a scared coyote. Before the surprised bear could regain his feet, I made the rope fast to the wheel of the cage containing acoup le of leopards, Heat once proceeded to overturn the cage and make war upon it« inmates through thn bars. The spotted gentlemen responded with vigor, and the din set every animal in the menagerie wild. . The battle had to be stopped, or it would soon have morn participants, and 1 swung back on the rope, hoping to choke the big 'un off. I succeeded better than 1 desired, for, abandoning the leopards, tie made straight for me. i got out of his range, and in plunging to reach me he tight ened the: noose about his neck and choked himself." SH^B -^» THE LADY OR THE TIGER. Burmese Women Think the Puzzle No Puzzle at All. New York Recorder. The Karens are a tribe in upper Bur mah who have been partially converted to Christianity. They were never idol worshipers, for they had a strange tra dition that a white man should come in a white torn, with a white book, which .should teach them about the great spirit whom they worshiped. Miss Evans, a cousin of Frank Stock ton, and a missionary to this tribe, has recently returned home. She expected to pass the summer with the Stocktons, but Mr. Stockton was ordered abroad for his health, and they passed each other in mid-ocean. She tells a story in regard to the famous "Lady or the Tiger." . She used to tell this - tale over and over again to the Karen women as they gathered about her. their bright, dusky faces full of intense interest, and each time, when she came to the question, "Which was it?" the answer invariably was '"The Tiger." Their ideas of re venge were such that they could not understand a love self-sacrificing enough to cause the princess to save her lover at the expense of her own suffering. Miss Evans wrote Frank Stockton about this and he replied: "I have re ceived many letters from notable men and women by which I lelt greatly hon ored, but when I heard of those heathen Karen women, almost at the ends of the earth. listening to my story. I said. 'That is fame.' " : :■ -»- — Wellington Making Votes. Special to the Globe v* ' Gi.excoe, .Minn., Oct. 29.— Hon. Cy Wellington addressed a large and ap preciative audience here.

One of the leaders of the movement in formed the Glouk correspondent that similar action would be taken in every county of the state where the Republi cans had not come out openly against resubtnission. The Democratic leaders have not made a move in the campaign that will do them as much good as this. The Democratic legislative candidates are all running on a resubtnission plat form, and this move of the Prohibition is going to drive all re submission Republicans to vote the Democratic ticket. Every day brings more votes to the Democratic party. TREMENDOUS AUDIENCES Greet Gen. Weaver and Mrs Lease at Sioux Falls. ? 'vi-^ Special to the Globe. _ •' Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct.

We would strongly advise you to set tle the matter of your Win ter Wrap right away. There is ; certainly going to be a shortage of the leading fash ionable furs, such as Otter, Astrakhan and Seal (good quality) later on. ;* While you may not have to pay more, you will certainly not get as good value for your money. These chilly nights and mornings a Fur Wrap feels very comfortable in deed, and is a necessity if one drives. REPUTATION for honest dealing, selling good goods and rectifying all errors is hard to attain — takes years to get — but when got it counts every day. Such a reputation we have certainly got, and every day we sell goods to. stran gers who take our word as to the value of goods because their friends have tried us, and we have not been found wanting. Furthermore, we have the stock; in fact, we question if we haven't as much as all other St. Paul retailers together; at any rate, we have everything in profusion. We have just finished a new lot of • AND Garments that are beauties, and it's very hard work to get the proper thing in these two articles now. Perhaps you had best take advantage of the chance and select yours now if you want a cloak of either Otter or As trakhan. Prices all right and the goods extra nice. Our sale on Seal goods this week has fairly aston ished us, and on this article this year the early buyers will surely be the ones who get "the plums," as first class Sealskins are hard to get. We have some ele gant garments and a few very fine skins, but not near as many as we shall be able to place, and it looks as though late this season a strictly first-class garment would be hard to get at any price. Of course, dry goods people claim everything, but cold facts are hard to re fute, and with our 17 years' experience we are willing to admit the difficulty of get ting what we call first-class. Better, attend to that Seal Cloak. —sir— 99 and 101 E. Third it. MEN'S ULSTEES . RRnwmiyr limr vp rn -q BROWNING, MBIi 411).
