PLAYING THE HIGH AND LOFTY


With that rare political disinterestedness
which characterlzes the Republicans
when they are in the minority, the Pioneer
Press urges everybody in the city election
to vote for men and not for party. Here
is its tatfy:
The Pioneer Press does not advise any one
to vote for a candidate simply because he is
on the Republican ticket. II there is a better
man for the same office on the Democratic
ticket, we not only advise, but strongly urge
all Republicans, as well as Dem ocrats, to vote
for him. It'csnnot be too strongly impressed
upon all taxpayers that party politics should
have nothing to do with municipal affairs.
This reads very nicely as far as it goes
and standing by itself really conveys the
idea of fairness. 1t is, however, simply
the common game which has been repeat
edly attempted in st. Paul A few lines
farther on in the same article we read the
following:
We shall urge the support of the Republican
ticket, however, subject al ways TO the condi-
ton that the candidates are equally as good
men as their Democratic competitors. If the
Democratic candidate is the more capable,
honest and publc-spirlted, he shonld com
mand the votes of all taxpayers. Wemay add
that, after a careful scrutiny of the two lists
candidates, we are unable to discover any in
stance in which so far as our knowledge of
the persons extends, any Republican would be
justified in scratching his ticket.
There you have the whole story. "Vote
for the best man, regardless of party"
shouts the exceedingly fair organ, and
adds in the same breath, shut you will
find all the best men on the Republican
ticket"
The Republicans never reach the plane
of non partisauship except at the time OF
municipal election in this city. ST. Paul
being a Democratic city when left to
itself the Republicans play the peoples
party" or any other dodge which may
secure few votes. Where the Republi-
cans are in majority they are the bitterest
of partisans. Their course in the Second
precinct of the Fourth ward is fair H.
lustration. The precinct is Republican
and the Democrats, with characteristic
fairness, nominated for Alderman the
present incumbent, W. D. Cornish, who
is Republican, and for School inspector
Edmund Rice, Jr., who is Democrat
Mr. Rice has been member of the
School board from another portion of the
city and is in every way competent fol
the position. In fact, no better mar
could be named, but the Republicans fol
low with the nomination of Cornish anG
candidate against Mr.. Rice. This
g the Republican idea of liberality, and il
on par with the p p. advice to "vote
for the best man." and couple it with the
announcement that all the ssbest men, arc
on the Republican ticket.
The Democracy of St. Paul have
too much experince to be caught
with chaff. They have put before
the public superior ticket, and
they propose to stand by it. If the
Republicans do not aid in its election SO
much the worse for them.

Important Decision to the Sugar Trade.

NEW YORK, April 19.-In the case of s. &
W. WEIGH & Co. against Collector Merritt,
to recover the amount of excessive duties paid
on sugar, Judge Wallace, in the United States
circuit court this morning, directed verdict
for the plaintiffs for the sum claimed. The
decision is of great importance to the sugar
trade, as the case is test one involving great
number of cases, in which claims are pending
to the amount of nearly a million dollars
The importers claimed the planters had per-
feet right to make their sugar light or dark,
as best suited the market for which they were
intended, and this position was upheld by
Judge Williams.

TIE Democrats have a rod IN pickle
for their opponents in the Senate, which
the Republicans generally will not es-
TEEN very highly. They propose to SUBJ
NIT as candidate for sergeant alarms
against the repudiator Riddleberger, the
name of a brave Union officer who re-
ceived wounds in the war of the rebel
lion, and who is now conservative Re-
publican. The issue will thus be forced
upon the Republicans of voting for this
man or for a debt-repudiating Confeder
ate, who has never yet assumed to be a
Republican. If they decide to stand by
their present candidate, how will they be
able to justify their precepts and their
practices before the people?

The sex clause in the famous con-
stitution Of 1879 has divided the
California supreme court. The con-
stitutiou declares that mo person
shall. on account of sex, be disquali-
fed from entering upon or pursuing
any lawful business, vocation or
profession" The Dive ordinance
of San Francisco passed last year,
prohibits the employment Of female
walters in drinking saloons, dance
cellars and like resorts, and makes it
unlawful for a woman or gill to be in
any such place after midnight. The
supreme court holds that this ordi-
nance, as well as the similar section
of the Penal code, is unconstitutional.
THE constitution establishes" says
the court, "as the permanent and
settled rule and policy Of this state,
that there shall be no legislation,
either directly or indirectly, in
c%apaeitating or disabling a woman
from entering on or persuing any bus
mess, vocation or profession permitted
by law to be entered ON and pursued
by those sometimes designated as the
stronger SEX" But the chief Justice
and two others of the seven j1dges did
not see it in that light. While admit
ting no discrimination could lawfully
be made against women strictly on
account of their sex they maintained
that females might be excluded from
certain pursuits on grounds of public
decency and morality. Would any
body pretend, asked one of the dis
senting judges in illustration Of his
views, that a law prohibiting the en-
ployment of female attendants at pub
lie baths for men would be unconstitu-
tional2 And yet this, and more than
this, is the logical sequence ofthe
opinion of the slim majority of the
court.
