about the Textbook Law:
with reference to the text book
law. deem it not improper to state
that | reluctantly gave my consent
to Il measure SO apparently revolution
AIRY in character. After due consider
alton, however, my convictions were
that the great eXtOrtionS which our
people have SO long endured regarding
their school supplies, were sufficient
reasons for justifving i radical effort
for their correction. and I according
ly approved the BILL although doubt
ing the wisdom of some of its provis-
ions. From the first the lar has en-
countered erery species Of obstruction.
At the outset its practical operation
was crippled by the non-approval of
an act from which funds were expect
ed to make it effective. and it has
been confronted with the persistent
sneers of the prejudiced. the reluct-
ant nj lukewarm acquiesence of
those honestly doubling its wisdom,
and the bitter opposition of many
whose pecuniary interests are affected
i by it, Under these circumstances
the law has made more progress. and
/ has grown more in public favor than
could have been expected. \ formal
contract has been entered into by the
State rs required by the law. under
which rights have vested, every con-
dition required has been thus far
complied with by the contractor. and
there is no reason to doubt that the
law can be practically enforced TO the
general benefit of school book pur-
chasers. Il was not. of course. 10 be
/ expected that 4 law embracing 50
many changes OF serious import
i should prove free from minor defects.
but it may he fairly said that these
are no greater than are usual in SINH

attainmentS of cheapness and unifor-
nifty of school books will unGuestion-
ably be realized By u just and thorough
execution IF its provisions. II is nay

It is with great pleasure that we
announce the fact that H. Z. Hall,
formerly editor of the st. Paul Eren-
ing Dispatch, is about to issue
morning daily Democratic paper IN
st. Paul, the first number to appear
on the 18th inst. and to be known as
'sThe Daily Globe" Mr.. Hall is an
editor of uncommon energy and ability
and will make very lively, interest
ing paper. The best of it is. that the
Globe will oppose the abominable
financial heresies, invented by the Re-
publican party, and the bondholders.
and which the Pioneer Press had con-
vinced great many Democrats were
part of the teaching Of Jefferson and
Andrew Jackson. Upon this point
Mr.. Hall speaks with no uncertain
voice. He says in his prospectus;
The present paramount issue is
whether tie few shall derour the
manu-. Whether the business depres-
sion which now hangs like pail over
the land, carving woe and desolation
everywhere, shall become more fear
full, or whether the burden shall be
lifted. On this, as upon .all other
questions, the GLOBE will be found
battling with no uncertain sound upon
the side of the people. 1t will favor
the RECONSIDERATION OF SILVER. and
the REPEAL OF THE RESUMPTION ACT,
as the least that can be done to make
amends for the secret crime by which
debts payable in coin were changed to
the gold standard alone. 1t will favor
any and all other measures calculated
to advance the business interests of
the country and tending to improve
the condition Of the masses.
We heartily welcome this new en-
terprise and wish it abundant success.
Since writing the above the first
number of the Daily Globe has appear

\ Washington Special to the Gin

lowing:
The meeting Of prominent Green
back men at the rooms of the senate
committee on roStottices and post-roads
Inst saturday evening. has attracted
a great deal OF attention and interest.
Its purpose WAS TO take steps for an
organization OF senator's and members

double object Of arranging for the dis
rribution of speeches and pamphlets
on measures of relief. which may come
up during congress: and. further to
have an organic TO promote
favorable action on such measures.
At the meeting il WAS resolved to
have a permanent committee, cumpoS-

from each state and territory having
Greenhack representative in con-

4E GREENBACK TOTE n
MINNESOTA 3.l2I.


There is great desire to stifie the
facts as to the Greenback vote
in Minnesota at the recent cleo
ton. No reference to it appears in
the published reports of the official
canvass. although the Temperance
vote. which was only about 400, was
published in full. We have ascer-
tanned however, that Mr.. Staples,
candidate for State Treasurer, received
2,140 votes. Mr.. Meighen candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, received
1896 votes, and Mr.. Ayres, candidate
for Railroad Commissioner, received
1921 votes.
This, of course, represents but a
small portion of the Greenback senti-
ment of the State, for inasmuch as
the Democracy had quasi-Greenback
platform and Mr.. Banning, DR.. Ames
and Mr.. Hill all advocated Greenback
doctrines IN their speeches, thousands
of Greenbackers voted the Democratic
ticket.

We are sorry however TO see that
he has no pronounced opinions upon
the financial questions. although he
intimates, that those are the only liv-

The questions that remain are
rather those of expedience than of

it is the need OF good, clear, com
prehersibIe penmanship. We be-
lieve that progress hos, indeed,
gone so far as to reject forever the
ridiculous balderdash that all great
men have been poor writer's. In
onr history, without going any
farther, the proof has been in the
other direction. The signers of

good penmen, and no Ole who has
ever seen the bold, round. manly
signatures of Washing ton, Hancock

fit the present time, there are.
no doubt, many among our promi-
nent professionals, who write poor

we know one eminent jurist now
on the bench Of ooe of our highest
Courts, whose geography CONVEYS

frightened beetle had first crawled

But professional men lave some
shadow of excuse in the multiplied

haste with which they have to pre-
pare most of their documents. In
business life, the same defence will
not pass. Undot;ed is uncrossed
