A Centre Shot.

The st. Paul tMinn.) Globe fires a
centre shot at those who hold up their
hands in horror at the idea Of south
ern man being placed at the head of the
department which has jurisdiction Of
the Pension Bureau" After citing the
fact that for years the Republican or
gans and politicians have been claiming
that return to Democratic rule by the
aid Of the electoral vote Of the solid
South would mean the payment Of
"rebel claims . and the withholding Of
pensions from Union soldiers and their
families. the Globe says
The persistency with which these
ialsehoods have been uttered has in
duccd many ignorat but honest people
TO credit them and vote against Demo-
cratic candidates on that account. For
this reason, if no other, Mr.. Cleveland
did wise thing to put o southern man
at the head Of the Interior Department,
for he will kill the seed Of poisonous
sectionalism by the practical proof that
the Pension Bureau can be run more
honestly and more adyantageously for
the Union pensioner by southern
Democrat than it has been by any Re-
publican. Mr.. Lamar is national
man. and has done more to heal the
animosities of sectional bias and pre-
JUDGE than any man in the South. He
is man Of broad and thorough states
manship, and will lend character and
influence to the Administration
Good for the Globe. If the people
of the North could have been induced
TO trust the South as soon as the war
closed, the era Of good feeling would
have dawned long ago. The Radical
politicians were "afraid to trust us
for the simple reason that to do so was
to rcfute the libels from which their
party drew its life-blood.
