THE INDEPENDENTS.

The Independents who contributed TO the
election Of Mr.. CLEVELAND last fall need
have no apprehension that they will not be
properly recognized by Democratic admin
istration, nor should they have any anxiety
about the future policy of the Democratic
party. The reasons why the Independents
bolted the Republican nominations are well
understood. The reasons why they sup
ported CLEVELAND in preference to any Of
the other presidential candidates are equally
plain. 1t was because they hoped that Mr..
CLEVELAND would carry into effect the prin-1
ciples embodied in the platform upon which
he was nominated. There is not a shadow
of doubt about the realization OF their hopes
in this respect. A good deal OF conjecture
has been INDUCED in Of late about the policy
OF the incoming administration. There is
no ground for this sort of speculation. The
policy of CLEvELAND's administration was
fully outlined in the National Demo-
cratic platform adopted at Chicago
last summer II any one has a misgiving
as to what Mr.. CLEVELAND is going to do lot
them turn to that platform and to his letter
accepting the nomination, and the doubt will
disappear. The platform was the expression
of the young, vigorous element of the Demo-
cratic party. Mr.. CLEVELAND was essen
tally the candidate of that element. and with
candidate and platform 1t went before the
country upon issues fairly and clearly pre-
scented and won victory. The people stood
at the back of the new president to urge him
forward to a successful administration under
the policy they have outlined for him. So
there can lie no misunderstanding as to what
the policy of the incoming Democratic adj
miuistration will be. Civil service reform,
a revision of the tariff, the protection of state
governments. and hostility TO monopoly will
be the prominent features Of the Democratic
policy. 1t was to secure these things the
independents voted with the Democrats. In
the effort to establish these principles in the
practical operation OF government the indie
pendents are expected to lend Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND their aid, aud doubtless will.

AGOOD HIT.

That was a severe rebuke Mr.. BAYARD ad-
miuistered to his fellow senators in the open
ing remarks OF his speech on the bill for the
retirement aud recoinage Of the silver dollar.
While severe it was just. Senator BAYARD
said:
at is a trite saying, and one history has often
recorded, that those things most material to the
happiness and welfare Of people are at the mo-
ment least regarded, the least sensational, that
they proclaim themselves with less OF noise and
violence than other matters infinitely inferior Ia
their consequences.
Here to-day this senate chamber tells the
sa ne story There are scarcely score OF sena-
tors in their places and yet the matter before
the senate is profoundly important TO the welfare
Of every man, woman and child in the United
States. II touches the question, what shall be
received ms the equivalent for every day of labor,
what shall be received for every exertion OF hu-
man industry, what shall measure every contract,
great and small among more than fifty millions of
peopes For it is the money OF the people, the
money Of the nation, that we are now consider
ing; and yet there seem TO be a very small MI
nority who care TO await the discussion"
Our Washington dispatches inform US that
on Yesterday when the hour arrived for the
senate to convene in session, the presi1ing
officer and the chaplain were the only per-
sons present In the senate chamber. Wat
commentary upon the indifference with
which public servants treat matters intrusted
to their charge. II public Office is public
trus. then there should be public sentiment
strong enough TO compel gentlemen occupy
lug public stations TO get down to work,
thorough intelligent work, aud that right
Speedily.

THE Dakota council yesterday passed the
railroad bill which provides that cars shall be
set out on switches 10 be loaded from sleighs,
wagons, ETC., an open market and no dis
elimination, by unanimous vote. Some OF
the provisions of the warehouse and grain
bill, reported by the Minnesota conference
committee, may be incorporated before the
bill is perfected and adopted by both houses.
The measure should then be stringent enough
to satisfy the most exacting producer and
shipper in the territory.

| Senator Hickman wanted the bill passed
over until another day, on the ground that
it is the bill of the session, and it ought to
be recommended to pass only after mature
| deliberation.
Senator Hall did not want the bill pushed
through at railroad speed. He wanted time
to consider its provisions.
| Senator Sergeant wanted the bill laid over
until tom orrow to carefully read and invest
| igate it.
Senator O'Brien said the bill would be
submitted to a thorough investigation, and
he wanted time to digest it.
Senator Waite said if any senator wanted
time to examine the bill he was in favor of
giving him time, though he was in favor of
it as reported by the committee.
Senator c. D. Gifllan said that there had
| been intimations that the railroad committee
had been wanting in diligence, and that the
committee had acted as promptly as posi-
/ bic, believing that the senate wanted to act
upon 1t at once, but that the committee did
not desire to press the matter or urge its
/ speedy consideration by the committee of the
| whole.
Senator Rice denied that there had been
any disposition on the part of the railroad
committee to rush the bill through. The
/
fore the senate the major part of the session.
If senators could not make up their minds
to-day let it be again considered tomorrow.
After further remarks the bill was made
the special order for tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
The senate then went into

A Thoroughly Northwestern Paper.
From the Duluth Evening Herald.
The st. Paul GLOBE, under the new manage
ment, continues to improve with each issue. In
its news departments, as well as in the editorial
page, there is marked change for the better.
The citizens OF Duluth will appreciate the fact
that the GLOBE is becoming so much of II north
western paper that 1t ceases 10 be merely local,
and there is ground to hope that at least one "a
per in ST. Paul will give the Zenith city fair
show. In one of the issues last week was pub

question, the first time that any St. Paul paper
ever gave our version of the contest In fu l. If

a TEMPEST Nv 4 TEAPOT.

The news from Washington indicates that
the silver coinage war has opened in
earnest The late visits of distinguished
politicians to Mr.. CLEVELAND turn
out to have been conferences on the silver
question and not for the purpose OF putting
up cabinet states. While it is probable that
Mr.. CLEVELAND holds decided views on the
propriety of limiting the coinage OF silver,
as he does upon every question of public in
terest and while it is most probable that his
views coincide with eastern sentiment, still
1t is hardly possible that with his good sound
horse sense, Mr.. CLEVELAND could be betrayed
into such folly as attempting to influence
legislation upon any matter before he has
been inaugurated. There would be nothing
improper for Mr.. CLEVELAND to express his
views. or to indicate his desires, but to suppose
that be would send Mr.. BARNUM, Mr. SCoTr
or any one else to Washington in the capac-
ity OF lobbyists to influence congress and Sc
cure the passage of such laws as his individ-
ual opinion might approve, is totally at
variance with the past history of the man
and entirely different from the public con-
ception of his cha racter. When Mr.. CLEvE-
present to congress In his messages such
suggestions as occur to him to be proper and
will recommend the passage of such legisla-
ton as he thinks the public welfare demands,
hut it will be done with dignity comport-
ing with the position he occupies, and not in
an intermeddling or dictatorial spirit. We
arc therefore prepared to discount the sensa
tons which are SO prolific about Washington
| at what they are worth. The southern and
! western con gressmen are probably working
themselves into fever heat when there is
nooccasion for it, 1t is all right that they
should ever be on the alert to protect the
interests of their sections, but there Is no
reason why they should construct men of
straw just to show their skill in knocking
them down. Mr.. CLEVELAND is all right
and his administration will be all right.
