failure TO ENFORCE THE LAWS

The recent outbreak in Cincinnati by which
an infuriated mob attempted to right "a wrong
by perpetrating greater one is well calculat-
ed to arouse the attention of all right think
ing, law abiding people. That our laws are
practically rendered imperative is not suffl-
cient cause to justify the masses in attempt
ing their enforcement outside of the forms OF
law. The time was within our memory
when all laws were enforced. Murderers
were tried, convicted and executed or SEN
fenced to the penitentiary and no executive
interposed to save them. This state things
continued until the beginning of the late war
when civil authority was suspended and
martial law became the ruling power of the
land. From that date began our decline in
in reverence for the laws of our fathers.
Murderers, thieves and rascals have escaped
trial, few have been convicted and the great
er portion of the latter have been pardoned.
have been so numerous through ju-
ries and executives that evil doers
have been willing to take any risk, feeling
confident that escape was absolutely certain.
What would have been done with the star
route thieves thirty years ago? Every one
of them would have been convicted and COM
PEELED to serve out their terms. Contempt for
law became so great that party leaders were
emboldened to steal the residency and
corrupt court justified the theft by a vote of
to Z.
Truthfulness to history require us to say
this inter disregard of law began with the
advent of the Republican party and has grown
with Its growth.
Is there remedy or are we to drift still
farther away until we find all law gone and
mob-violence il full sway?OIs Herr Most
to organize commune in all the large cities
of our country and destroy all law save and
except mob violence2 These are questions
of deep moment to all thoughtful men who
desire the faithful enforcement of all whole
some and just laws. They must call a halt
in our downward course. and If this requires
the abolition of juries and the renovation of par
doning powers, then let jury trials cease and
some other and better system be adopted
whereby justice can be impartially admins
tered. No republic can live and prosper un-
der mob law or any code of laws by which
justice can be trampled under foot by ignor-
ant jurymen or set at defiance by unscrupul-
Gus executives.

FLETCHER ACoUIEsCEs.

ellis smile was child-like and blandn
This was evidently the condition of Mr..
Loren Fletcher when his Fourth district
committee had gone through the motions
at Minneapolis yesterday, and carried out
the programme with which he had an
nounced in card he was ready to sac
quiesce."
The GLOBE of yesterday explained the
overwhelming Fletcher aroma which hangs
like halo Of glory. or something worse, over
the Fourth District Republican committee. 1t
was predicted that Gen. McLaren's proxy
would turn up in the hands of Fletcher
man and the prediction was verified by
Sam Nichols, clerk of the supreme court,
ambling into the Nicollet honse
with the required document. We did not
hardly imagine that there would be sufficient
gall, even in Fletcher, to produce proxy for
Mr.. Taylor, of Saltwater, who left the state a
year ago, but it is evident that Loren pro-
poses to score all the points in sight, and Mr.
Butts, of Saltwater, accordingly had the non
resident proxy. As Fletcher already had
seven votes out of eight, he might have gotten
along comfortably well, but eight would make
it unanimous and so he took them all.
He had publicly promised to be happy what
ever was done and it was best to take no
risks.
The original intention of holding the con-
vention to send delegates to Chicago and to
nominate q candidate for congress was
abandoned as being little too barefaced,
but substantially the same result was reach
ed in another manner. Mr. Fletcher, through
his committee, voted to hold two conven-
tions, one on the goth of April, to
send delegates to Chicago, and the other on
May 2S to nominate candidate for congress.
The same basis for apportionmentw wasadopted
for both conventions and the Fletcher pro-
gramme now is to have only one county con-
oerltion in all the counties he can control, and
let the county conventions either send the
same delegates to both district conventions
or else select two sets, but in any event hold
only one county convention. This win
practically accomplish the same result as
having one district convention do the whole
job. The usual time for holding the con-
gressional nominating conventions is August
or September, but Fletcher's snap Judgment
brings it May 2s, and the manner he pro-
poses to adoptin selecting delegates is equiv

THE FOURTH DISTRICT.
Fletcher Gets in His Work and Sc
cures all Early Convention.

Loren Fletcher's Fourth District Repub-
lican committee met at the NicolIet house,
Minneapolis, yesterday, to arrange u pro-
gramme. The roll call showed the following
present:
]. A. Wolverton, proxy for C. H. Petit, r.
Barden, J. P. Rea; Fred L. Smith, proxy
fore. w. johnson, all of Minneapolis; A. r.
McGil, st. Paul; S. H. Nichols, proxy for R.
N. McLaren, st. Paul; Nathan Warner,
Wright county; f. G. Butts, proxy for E. d.
Taylor, Washington county.
The committee proceedings were secret but
they did not quite dare to make one conven-
ton do the whole work and accordingly de
cided to call a convention to meet in st.
Paul April 20, to sent two delegates to the
national convention and to hold another
convention at Minneapolis on May IS, to
nominate Fletcher for congress. The ap-
portionment is one delegate for each 300
Republican votes cast at the last state cleo
ton, averaging the vote on the whole ticket.
Mr.. Fletcher announces that the delegates

Especial TELEGRAM to the Globe. !

BISMARCK, Oak, April 4.-The register of
deeds, E. NJ. Fuller, County Attorney Geo. P.
Flannery, and Capt. D. w. Maviatte, Of this
city, have been subpenaed to appear before
the grand jury at Yankton, forthwith, and
the subpoena calls for the records Of real
estate transfers of the county, during the
months of May, June and July, of 1888. 1t is
supposed these records are wanted in con-
nection with some matters connected with
the capital commission. 1t is very unusual
proceeding TO remove the county records in
such manner. 1t is believed the United
States district attorney, Hugh Campbell, will
endeavor to show by the records that the
capital commissioners dealt in real estate,
contrary to law, in removing
and locating the seat of government
of Dakota. The register of deeds left this
morning for Yankton with the records re-
quired. An interview with members of the
capital commission now in this city reveals
the fact of their perfect willingness and anx-
iety to have the records searched
St. Paul daily globe., 1884-04-05

tectorate as thus outlined means a swarm of
the English officials whose establishment will
serve double purpose. 1t will assure the
more prompt collection of taxes, and it will
make room for horde of English place hun
ters. Somehow, this protectorate has flavor
OF the infamous carpet bag regime which
the Federal government established over the
south soon after the close of the civil war.
1t was claimed to be protectorate for the
purpose of restoring order. To further the
restoration of order, the native classes were
vigorously excluded from the government.
A carpet-bag element from the slums OF the
north went down on its own account, or was
sent by the federal authorities to assist in
this glorious work of establishing order, hon
esty aud stability. 1t succeeded in organiz-
ing he'll and this is about what England
will succeed in establishing in Egypt. 10
some extent it is a satisfaction to know that
in the matter of pretense, hypocrisy, insa-
tiate ambition and disregard OF private
rights, there are other civilizations as mean as
our own proved to be during the period OF SO
called reconstruction. The more the oppressed
south struggled under the deadly grip on It's
throat, the loude: was the declaim of the rad
ical supporters of the carpet-bag regime over
the ingratitude of the south. The mere
physical writings of the victim under the
blows of the knife were regard
ed as fresh evidence of contumacy and the
blows become louder and the weapon was
driven deeper. Such has been the case in
Egypt. All the late so-called rebellion was
simply the convulsive movement of people
undergoing throttling at the hands OF official
strangers and for thus writhing and yelling
under the punishment, Alexandria was bonn
barded and the complaining victims were
subjected to additional chastisement.

YESTERDAYS MARKErs.

There was no market in st. Paul for wheat
yesterday. AT Chicago the market was wild al
most to a panic. May wheat sold down to S1%c,
but afterwards rallied and closed at S3Ac. June
closed at S4Bc, and year declined 71sc; closing
at 79Ac. Corn declined A@%c. Oats were
also &c easier, but pork and lard suffered greatly
from the bears attack, going down 40@32c for
the former, and 2O@25c the latter. At Miwau-
kee the excitement was hardly so great, and the
market was little steadier, closing at S4Sc for
May, and S6Ac for June. The stock market
opened strong and higher, but soon weakened
and again rallied and again declined, becoming
weaker as rumors of a Chicago and Liverpool
panic foated about the streets. The result of
the days business general decline along
the whole line of active share, ranging from a
fraction to q per cent Mining stock was dull,
with light trade and about steady prices. Stand
ard Consolidated declined to $50.

EGYPTIAN RECONsrRUCTIoN.

Although the English cabinet has not yet
officially enunciated its policy IN regard to
Egypt there seems little doubt that it will
in the end, resolve upon a permanent pro
tectoral. In the speech of Lord Harrington
on Lawson's movement of the motion to cen
sure the government, he said thati it is the duty
of the government to remain in Egypt until
stable government has been established,
which lean rest on its own foundations and
which would not only inspire confidence in
the people of that country but also in those
whose presence is so necessary there, as fur
nishing the capital and the energy requisite
for the development of the resources of
Egypt" These sentiments are endorsed
cordially by the London Times which believes
that such policy would be acceptable to the
other European powers. 1t asserts that a
protectorate would furnish ample guarantees
of stability, honesty and order in Egypt. 1t
also argues that such protectorate to be of
value must be absolute and that it must not
be limited one, that is, one in which Egyp-
tians from the management they will the
sooner learn how to manage their own af-
fairs. Somehow this suggests the advice of
the fool to his son to never go near the water
until he had learned to swim.
The Egyptians are to be totally excluded
from the management of their own business
until they have learned to manage it. The
GLOBE has frequently pointed out that the
English interference in Egypt has no other
foundation thanthe claims of English bond
holders. Stability, order and honesty have
no other meanin G than a condition of
things which will allow the collection of the
largest possible amount of taxes from the
miserable wretches who compose the agricul-
tural classes and such others whose business
permits their being taxed. The policy of the
future, as indicated by Harrington and the
Times will be framed solely with reference to
the collection of the usury claimed by the En-
glish holders of Egyptian securities A pro-

GERMdN SOCI4LTSM.

The movement in the German parliament
for the prolongation of the repressiye social
istic law elected strong debate in which the
representatives of socialism were permitted
to say all they wished to. The tenor of tn e
debate exhibited the fact that socialism is
very strong in Germany and brought out the
assertion on the part of the government that
repressive measures are still necessary in
order to preserve society from its turbulent
| demands. 1t is hoped that socialism whose
birthplace is Germany will fight its battles in
that country. There, if anywhere, it has an
excellent paiSon-d-etre, here it has no possible
excuse for existence.
There are other reasons why it should make
Germany the battle ground. There is very
large, and very much impoverished labor
ing class in that country, which has rights
which has been usurped, and wrongs which
should be avenged. There is nothing of
the kind here. If the laboring man with
average health does not succeed in this
country, it is generally his own bad manage
| ment. In Germany the condition of things
| is so fixed that only revolution can secure an
upturning of society and reconstruction can
only build on destruction. Things must be
broken down there before they can be built
| as they should be. In this country society
| is nowhere finished in construction. Half
the country is not yet settled up and hence if
a man is not pleased in one locality he can
go to some other point. He can become q
land owner by merely settling on the land.
If he does not get on in life it is his own
fault or his bad luck and not the faults of
the social system.
Hence socIalistic reform should let this
country alone at least for the present. On
their threatened throat-cutting, city burning,
and the humiliation of capital in some other
less favored country, Germany is especially
to be recommended as a theatre in which
socialism can play its threatened TRACE dies :.
Germany is suggested for various reasons.
One of these is that Bismarck has lately in
suited the American hog. Another that he is
charged with having insulted our house of
representative; and still an other that he is
accused of snubbing our American minister.
But the chief reason why Germany would be
a good place to pla y the tragedy in is that the
government of that country is in condition
to handle mobs. No fair-minded socialist
would be willing to 60 on killing and burn
ing expedition in which there would be no
resistance. Victory ever without resistan ce
would be valueless. Hence Germany is the
place to commence, because there a victory
would be gained under circumstances that
would insure stability to the victors. After
the socialists should encounter the German
standing army few times they would be in
a condition which would delight all the
decent world By all means let them COM
mence in Germany.

THOMAS CARLYLE.
Lecture of Rev. Mr.. Smith at the First
NJ. Il. Church.

There was not very large attendance at
the First Methodist church last evening to
hear the lecture of Rev. S. G.. Smith on
Thomas Carlyle, nor was the audience
very enthusiastic one, or the lecturer
failed to awaken their sympathy, for
a colder and more listless assembly than it,
seldom faces a public speaker 1t is true
that there were few earnest listeners, but
the majority could only be aroused to inter
est and to a snicker, too, by humorous al
lusion to woman who marries the man she
does not love. The lecturer commenced by
reference to the difficulties of physical
anatomy to illustrate the still more difficult
task of dissecting and studying the
spiritual man and comprehending
motive and thought He went on to
show how very little original thought
there is-thought springing from the mind
and not impressed there from the outside
world and other minds. Stevens he con-
tended, built the Northern Pacific and net
Willard or Jay Cook. He then proceeded
with his lecture with the preface that he
came to defend Carlyle from the liliputian
philosophers of the Boston school who fear
ing Carlyle while he lived, now heroicly
pride themselves and kick the coffin of the
august dead and defame him, shred of
whose thought they would have gladly
seized and elaborated into volumes. The
lecturer sketched the life of his hero from the
humble PEASANTS cottage to the Scottish
university and from thence through
his whole lengthy career
not INFINITELY but sketchily, and sometimes
very prosily, but occasionally bursting out
into bitter vituperation against Froude, Gail
Hamilton and g Gooseberry." The best part
of the lecture was undoubtedly that describ-
ing the seven years retirement in the Scot
tish hamlet near Dumfries, and the produc-
ton of his wonderful epic. Here again the
lecturer alluded to Carlyle's critics as these
animals trampling with their hoofs over his
grave, and he consigned them with furious
vehemence to the hottest place In hell to be
doubly damned forever. But he said if there
was not room enough for such as Carlyle
and Emerson in heaven the Almighty
should just build an addition right away
Froude's accusations of cruelties, the lecturer
characterized as frivolous and maintained
that Carlye's wife had no cause of complaint
He placed before his audience twelve doc
trines deduced from the teachings of
Carlyle, and in speaking of his religion,
declared Thomas Carlyle was the most
religious man of his age. Only once during
the whole lecture did the audience applaud,
and that was at the denunciation of prying
busybodies, who search into the sanctity of
the domestic circle of the great to drag them
down and through the mud The lecturer
speaking without referring to his manuscript.

A strolling communistic emissary has
been in Sandersville, Washington county,
Ga, haranguing the negroes, infam-
ing their minds by declaring to them that
they are poorly paid and but little better
than serfs, and that their only remedy was
to murder the whites and take possession of
their property. The scoundrel aroused the
negroes to a pitch of blind and violent
frenzy, and after the meeting the poor ignor-
ant, deluded creatures roamed the
streets in squads boasting of what they
would do. The community was alarmed,
and being powerless for protection, applied to
the local militia for aid. The company
numbers about 30 members, but are desti-
tute of ammunition. Savannah was tele-
graphed to, calling for aid, as the negroes
were arming rapidly, and an immediate up
rising was feared. No punishment would
be too severe to be meted out to the commu-
nistic crank who is the cause of all this
trouble

SOME of our Republican city cotempor-
aries have been very anxious relative to the
Democratic movements for state conven-
ton. One Of them announced that nothing
was being done, and another that secret
work was in progress. All of this worry is
simply the result of stupidity. The Demo
cratic state central committee held a meet
ing in St. Paul about a month ago.
It was convened at the Merchants hotel
and publicly advertised The GLOBE of
the following day published the proceed
ings of the committee, announcing that the
chairman was instructed to fix the date and
issue the call in due season. This he has
done, and the call appeared yesterday. There
was an unfortunate omission by the printer
of a line of manuscript which made the call
read that the convention was to select only
four delegates at large to the Democratic ma
tional convention. The call was written to
include also two delegates from each con-
gressional district, as the Democrats choose
heir entire delegation by state convention
The call in its correct form appears this morn

THE feeling which is becoming more and
more prevalent throughout the country in
favor of regulating liquor selling by high Ii
cense is about to give expression in st. Paul
by public meeting on Monday night. The
movement is a good one and likely to result
in advancing the public welfare. Bishop
Ireland who is at the head of the movement,
is eminently discreet and practical. and the
license asked in st. Paul is $500. This is
not excessive or prohibitory. 1t will un-
doubtedly curtail the number of saloons
but it will still leave enough
to allow all the ''personal liberty'' which is
due the public. 1t is movement, too, which
should not be allowed to degenerate into a
political scramble. Its inception is undoubt-
edly earnest and honest, but there are plenty
to jump on board for the purpose of gaining
a political point. 1t is social, moral and
business question, and one which directly
and indirectly affects the public welfare in
various ways. If politics can be relegated to
the rear, it is problem that can readily be
solved.

WHEN the fire commissioners hold another
meeting they might pertinently investigate
NJ. F. Kellhar, captain of Hook and Ladder
No. 2. He is also, we believe, in general
charge of the lower floor of the
headquarters building at the
Corner or Eighth and Minnesota Our 10
cal columns this morning note his assault
upon fifteen-year-old boy. AS the
captain is about six feet in his stockings
he seems to have been able to knock the boy
down, and once having him PROSTATE render
ed it certain that the fifteen year old young
ster would not return the compliment, and
accordingly kicked him until one of the boys
ribs was broken. Though warrant was issued
for Kelehar's arrest, the examination seems
to have been delayed, and there is an evident
effort to smother the matter. The fire COM
missioners might, with profit, look into the
matter for themselves, and see if this is the
kind of man they desire to have holding a
responsible position in the department..
