NATIONAL CONTROL.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Dear Sir: You would confer favor upon
many of your intellige mt readers here by stat
ing through the columns of your excellent
paper the reasons, Qf any why the railroad
system of this country should not become
state property and be operated by the ma
honal government. Most respectfully yours,
JoEGEN JENSEN, Editor Tidende.
Grand Forks, Oak, May 8.
The GLOBE knows of no reason why the
railroad system of this country should not
become the property of the national govern
ment if the government desires to acquire
it, The probabilities are that the time IS
near at hand when the government
will be compelled to take hold of
the railroads and the telegraph
in order to protect the citizens from extor-
ton and oppression. There are reasons
why it is not desirable to have them placed
under government control if the necessity
for it can be avoided. The government
has enough now to look after without as
Stunning new responsibilities. 1t is likewise
in the line of the paternal theory of govern
ment, which is not altogether agreeable to
American ideas. Therefore it is altogether
more desirable that all corporations should
remain under private control than to have
them owned by the government But the
public interest must be protected, and if the
system of eXtorting from the public divi-
dends on watered stock continues, it will
become an absolute necessity for the gov
eminent to own and operate the railroads
and telegraphs.

SHUT THEM OUT.

The Chicago Times traces the origin of
the socialists in that city back to the
nomadic Scythian tribes who once infested
Northern Asia and Southern Europe, who
are described by the Greek historians as a
man-eating and blood-drinking race of peo-
pie. In some indifinite way they after
wards became intermingled with the Huns,
and from this amalganlation there eventu-
ated the Slavic race. In a review of the
history of several centuries, our Chicago
contemporary shows that the Slavic people
have never lost the traces of their Scy-
THAN origin. The bloody trail that
they have left across the path of the cent
uries proves that their man-eating appetite
has never been effaced. and most probably
never will be. Such being a fact demon
strated by the truths Of history, why is it that
our government could not be justified in eX-
Guiding them from our shores? We have
properly shut out Chinese immigration, and
yet we are admitting more dangerous and
more repulsive element. 1t is the
nature Of the Slavic people to be re-
bellious to constituted authority They
are an uneasy restless people who are never

come here to enjoy the freedom of our
Institutions for they are incapable of under

simply desire to pervert the freedom which
our system of government grants into a
license for the qualification of an innate
desire for turbulence and murder. Every
Interest of our government and of onr
people demands that this vicious ele-

THE NATIONAL CONUNDRTrM.


President CLEVELAND continues to read
the riot act to the newspapers for talking
about his approaching nuptials, but it has
no more effect than pouring water Oh
ducks back. The reporters are just as
busy sitting the matter as if the president
was not mad about it. In fact, the presi-
dent has not been able to resist the shrewd
tactics of the Knights of Labor, and has
been betrayed into standardization of the
truthfullnesS of the rumor. If the presi-
dent will take the GLOBES advice he will
now make clean breast of the whole
business, tell when he first fell in
love, when he proposed, when
he was accepted, and when and where the
wedding is to be. A confession of this
kind will put the whole nation in good
humor and the president will feel the hap
pier for it himself. The people are tired of
hanging on the ragged edge of uncertainty,
and the president must be worried to death
in an attempt to keep secret which every
body suspects. The strikes and the riots
are enough Of burthen on the public mind
without this unsatisfied public desire to
know all about the wedding. The govern
ment and the people must get into more
confidential relations. This is the presi-
dents opportunity to bring about that de-
sirable result. The public will is that Mr..
CLEVELAND shall surrender the great ma
tional secret, and the public will must be
respected

CHANCE FOR A HANGING.

The attorney representing the state
claims to have in his possession sufficient
evidence on which to convict the socialistic
leaders who melted the riot in Chicago. If
this be the fact then there should be no de-
lay in bringing them to trial. This is one
instance that the gallows must not be
cheated of its due. The assertion made
by the friends of Spies and SCHwAB that
the dynamite found in the Office of the
Arbeiter-Leltung was placed there
by the police officials for the pur-
pose of manufacturing evidence against
the ringleaders of the mob is too ridiculous
to receive credence The organ of the So
cialists urged its fanatic followers to use
dynamite. They did use it, and with fatal
effect. Consequently the public is prepared
to believe that SPIES had dynamite con-
cealed in his Office and it will be hard to
convince an impartial jury to the contrary.
If the three ringleaders are hung it will
have good effect in convincing the rest of
the fanatical gang that the red flag can
never supplant the stars and stripes on
American soil

The Prince of Wales is rigid martinez

fashion so as to prevent Prince Henry
of Battenberg from assuming posi-
ton at state functions to which he has no
right, says Editor Labouchere in London
Truth. At the Savoy ceremony Prince
Henry was made to stand behind with
Lord Lorne, while Prince Christian was
emphatically directed to place himself in
front of her majesty's morganatic SOns-in-
law.
Prince Christian is ''born" and is bona
fide royalty. so that he Is on All equality

Prince Henry is not 'born" and therefore
possesses neither rank nor precedence, while
the style of royal highness, which the queen
foolishly bestowed upon him (having abso-

the kind) is of no avail at any cours in
Europe except our own, and only at our
own to a very limited extent.
There was fuss after Lord Lorne's mar
rage because he was excluded from the

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

The American people have great respect
for the freedom OF speech, consequently
they have INDUCED to an unwarranted de-
gree the incendiary talk of the socialists
and the dynamiters. Acting upon the
theory that this is free country. where
every person has the right to freedom
of opinion and the freedom to express that
opinion. the people of the United States
have been unjustly tolerant in
the latitude which has been given
to the communistic and nihilistic ele-
ments which have sought protection
under the American flag from the punish
ments which were due them in other coun-
tries. The recent succession of tragedies in
Chicago. Milwaukee and other cities has
succeeded in awakening the people of this
country to a sense of the danger which
menaces them from an indulgence of this
too tolerant spirit. 1t will do no violence
to either the form or spirit of our republic
can institutions to adopt legislation
that will suppress nihilism. COM
munism, socialism, or by whatever
name the destructive element may
be called. The protection of life and
property and the security of the public
peace are the ends for which governments
are established. The freedom of speech
does not imply the freedom of incendiar-
ism. The fact that the constitution guaran-
tees to the individual citizen the right to
hold and express an opinion on any subject
does not carry with it the power to exer-
else that right to the detriment of society
or in spirit Of hostility to the government
and its constituted authorities. Nihilism,
communism and socialism are all contrary
to the genius of our American Institutions
When the nihilist or socialist is driven out
from his own country and comes to seek
the protection of our flag he must be COM
PEELED to divest himself of everything that
would conflict with the duties of Ameri-
can citizenship. This is republic where
the people govern. 1t is a democracy
where the majority rules, and when the
majority has spoken its will and incorpor-
ated it into the form of law, that will must
be respected. Moreover, it shall be re-
Spected.
