AN HONEST CONFESSION.

An honest confession is good for the
SOUL and the Dispatches spiritual being
must be in good deal better keller after
its frank avowal that the nomination of
the whole Republican state ticket, with
one exception, was the direct result of the
wheat rings manipulations. The Dispatch
is a rock ribbed. irOn-clad Republican jour
nal that expresses faith in the election of
its party ticket but it can't tell falsehood
about the manner in which the ticket was
nominated. It owns right up that the
wheat ring controls the whole business.
Now. if the other Republican papers would
only be seized with similar fit of honesty,
there might be some hope yet of repairing
''the grand old party" But they wont.
Having sworn that the horse is seventeen
feet high, they are going TO stick to it.

WISE RESIGNATION.

Kentucky Democrats are represented to
be the hungriest of all Democrats for public
Office. Therefore. those Democrats who
are manifesting Impotence because of the
tardy movements of the administration in
removing Republican officials, ought to
study the following plank in platform
adopted by a Kentucky Democratic cOnven-
ton at Newport the other day: THAT in
the matter of the substitution of our friends
for our adversaries in office. we are content
to submit to the better Judgment of the
president and his legal advisers as to the
time when and the circumstances under
which it should be done, believing that he
and they will be actuated, as they should
be, by considerations affecting the public
interests and the due administration of the
laws" There is goodsized chunk of
wisdom in that resolution.

THEY DISSEMBLE,

OF course, the Republican organs which
have forgotten the meaning of independence
are trying to cover up the discussions
which exist in the Fifth district, and are
denying, with vigor worthy of better
cause, the well-Known fact that hundreds
of Republicans in that section of the state
will not support the nominees who obtained
their preferment through subseryiency to a
ring. In spite of the most direct asser-
tons, accompanied by indubitable proofs,
the purblind organs refuse to be convinced,
and continue their senseless denials. Even
the testimony of correspondents in journal
of their own political faith, a journal which,
however, has the courage to stand by its
convictions, and which does not allow party
fealty to blind it to the right, is passed over
by the organs who will only see what they
wish to see. Nevertheless, the revolt is
taking place, and though they may refuse
to believe it now. when the ballots are
counted next November the ring Republi-
cans will have it demonstrated to them in a
manner unmiStakable.

TRANSPARENT AS GLASS.

The Pioneers argument that Mr.. GILFIL-
Ian should be elected to congress because
St Paul is going TO have the next United
States senator has too much of the counting
the chickens before they are Matched method
about it to be effective. 1t so happens that
Mr.. LANGDoN and Mr.. PILLsBURY both
live in Minneapolis. and if the senatorship
gets away for that city it viii not be the
fault of the wheat ring. In the next
place, if it had been the intention of
the ring bosses to elect Gov. DAVIS to the
senate. they would have put legislative
ticket in the field in Ramsey county COM
nosed of DAVIS partisans. Instead of that
they have put legislative candidates on the
Ramsey county ticket who are VIGOROUSLY
hostile to DAVIS and who will stand ready

islature selected by the district convention
represent Anoka county, be instructed to

that the wage worker should receive the large
est percentage of his own earnings for his
own use.

ting to the people of the state for their APP

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

The platform upon which Speaker CAR
Isle was renOminated for congress last
| Tuesday is perhaps the clearest, as it is the
most correct. declaration of Democratic
principles respecting the tariff that has yet
been promulgated by political cOnven-
| ton. The fact that Mr.. CARLISLE was
enthusiastically renominated by acclama-
ton and was present to accept the nOmina-
ton in a neat little speech. makes it fair to
presume that if he was not the author of
the platform it at least embodied his indi-
vidual opinions, and is a fair expression Of
his views. Inasmuch as Mr.. CARLISLE is
recognized as the Democratic leader in cOu-
gress, the platform may be accepted as the
Democratic doctrine. 1t declares that there
is no warrant in the federal constitution for
the eXaction from the people of more than
is reasonably necessary for an economical
administration of the government, and sail
in excess of that need is spoliation, not
legal taxation" Here is the whole Demo
cratic doctrine in a nutshell. All revenues
collected from the people in excess of the
actual need of the government is Spoliation
and not legal taxation. Such is the doctrine
of the national Democracy, as it is the
doctrine of the Minnesota Democracy, and
upon that platform RICE and WILSON and
MACDONALD and BULLS all stand and
ask to be elected to congress. In eXplana-
ton of its position the CARLISLE platform
goes on to say that the interests of the
people at large demand that such reform or
reconstruction of the tariff laws should be
adopted as will equalize the burden of tax
alton in that form and reduce the income
from that source to the actual needs of the
government economically administered. 1t
declares that excessive taxation, even when
successful, is ultimately destructive of the
sources of labor from which it is dra WI.
In the enactment of tariff laws it claims
that congress should at all times have in
view the raising of revenue rather than the
fostering of any particular industry at the
expense of others, taxing the luXures rather
than the necessaries of life, the
duty and power of the federal gov
eminent extending only so far as to
impose a tax for the purpose of raising
revenue for public purposes. The govern
ment is never better administered and its
true spirit is never better observed than
when the peoples taxation for its support
is scruDulously limited to the actual neces-
sity of expenditure and distributed accord
ing to just and equitable plan. Believ-
ing in the JEFFERSONIAN maxim that ''the
best government for the people is that
which governs least" the Democratic
party instructs its representatives that they
carefully and faithfully observe the consti-
tutional limitation the people have put
upon them. That is why it is safer to
send Democrats to congress than Repub-
licanS. They go there educated in the doc
trine of constitutional limitation.

mouth organ has GILFILLAN's interests
more at heart than the welfare of DAVIS.
GILFILLAN has proved himself the willing
and subservient tool of rings while DAVIS
has not been so tractable. The object is to
use DAVIS in an endeavor to secure Gill
FILLAN's election, and then leave DAVIS
to shift for himself. The trick is apparent
enough, but it won't win. The people have
the matter in hand and will settle it to suit
themselves, without regard to the machina-
tons of the political tricksters. RICE will
be elected now. and the senatorial bridge
will be crossed when they come to it.

contrary to my constitution to make speech
on an occasion like this, but 1 say to you, and
l say 1t with all sincerity, / am greatly
touched and graJifed by the kindness you
have shown an old man on his visit to your
city. Now. while am not as old as Methus-

for long time to come have got to that age
when an old man who has lost all ambition
for political honors loves to receive the kind
appreciation of his fellow men. I never yet
saw gray-haired man to whose eyes it would
not bring tears to be shown Difference and
respect by a child. The feeling grows as one
grows older, and you have made tears come
into my eyes by your treatment of me since
have been in Cincinnati on this occasion.
