of palaces had Worth never lived.

Cleveland is very much disgruntled over
the withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine-not that
he considered him weak candidate,
but because he believed Blaine's nomi-

Blaine knew a thing or two himself.

SHERIDAN DECLINES.

1t is a dreary week in political mat
tiers when some prominent Republican
presidential candidate doesn't draw out
of the race. The last one to come off is
Gen. SHERIDAN, who declares in an in
terview published in the GLOBE this
morning that he would not accept the
Republican nomination under any cir
cumStances. not even if he were nOmi-
mated by reclamation. The reasons that
Gen. SHERIDAN assigns for his absolute
refusal to become Il presidential candi
date are creditable to him. He is con-
scicus that forty years ser ice in the
army do not qualify a man for statecraft,
and therefore does not propose to lend
himself to scheme whereby his per-
Sonal popularity was proposed to be
made the instrument of party success
at the expense of the general welfare.
Gen. SHERIDAN has made an enduring
fame as soldier. and lie is wise not to
jeopardize his reputation 10y seeking
position for which he has no qualifica-
ton.
1t is also probable that Gen. SHERIDAN
sees, as Mr.. BLAINE saw, that the pros
poets for Republican success this year
are too dim to make it an allurement for
any man to accept a nomination from
the Republican party. As matters now
look, the presidential election is
virtually decided in advance of the
time for the election. Without the
occurrence of some now unforeseen
event it is as morally certain that
GROVER CLEVELAND will be his own
successor as that the sun rises each day
OF the year. The empty honor of the
Republican nomination could not add
fresh luSter to the civic honOrS which
Mr.. BLAINE wears or 10 the military
distinction won by Gen. SHERIDAN; so
they have both wisely concluded to step
aside and let the funeral procession
pass on without them.

PROPERLY DOOMED.

The country will not sorrow overmuch
regarding the plant of the friends
of the BLAIR educational bill that.
despite their success in the senate, their
measure is doomed in the house. The
bill is very properly doomed. 1t should
have never been introduced to take up
the valuable time of congress in profit
less discussion. If no surplus existed
the BLAIR bill, an extravaganza fancy of
disOrdered brain, would not have been
originated.
The most peculiar thing about it is
that so many intelligent men should
have been found in congress to accord
it their support. A measure which looks
to the distribution of SS5,OOO,OOO where
it is not only not needed, but where it
would be productive of distinctively
bad effects, should not have been able
to secure single voice in its behalf.
The charm of huge appropriation is,
however, to many so-called statesmen
Irresistible. 1t has been pointed out
time and again that the school funds of
the different states are entirely ade-
quate for the demands that are to be
made upon them. and that if illiteracy
exists in any given section it is not due
so much to the lack of educational fa.
cilitieS, but to an indisposition on the
part of the people concerned to take adj
vantage of them. There would be no
advantage derived from appropriating
huge sum for the benefit of sparsely
settled district when the people of that
district show no evidence of appreciat-
ing the facilities already waiting for
them.
If the friends of the BLAIR bill are
earnest friends of the cause of educa-
ton, they will seek some means of MAX
ing the acceptance of existing educa-
tional advantages more general rather
than by endeavOring to secure an ap-
preparation which would only lead to
the furtherance of mediocrity and ex-
traVagance,

TWIN CITY UNJON.

When the proposed municipal union
of st. Paul and Minneapolis was first
suggested the proposition caused a
smile to spread over the faces of the
population of both cities. 1t was looked
upon as a good joke. But since the
proposition has assumed business-like
shape, and committees representing the
leading commercial bodies of the two
cities have met together and discussed
the matter, it is something of surprise
to find what strong sentiment actually
prevails in favor of the proposed munic-
lpal union. Nor is this senti-
ment confined to one city; it prevails
in both. 1t is true there is no indica-
ton that the sentiment is strong enough
to bring about an Immediate union. but
there is every evidence that the leaven
Is there and that it is working. In the
fullneSS of time it will come to pass. but
how far distant that time may be is as
yet mere matter of conjecture. and
there is no definite basis upon which
we can calculate the approach of the
ripening era. Still the movement has
been prolific in good results of
an immediate consequence, i'm that
it has developed the fact that the
relations between the two cities
are really more cordial than has been
popularity supposed, and that both are
conscious of the necessity for standing
shoulder to shoulder in the great strug-
gle for commercial supremacy over Chi
cago and all other rival points. 1t prac-
tically makes but little difference about
municipal union as long as our CONNER
cial and industrial unity is preserved.
The great point is to understand that
our general interests are identical. Our
local rivalrieS and emulations are all
right in their way. They encourage each
city to keep its best foot to the front all
the time; and looking at the matter in
this light, it is probably best there
should be no municipal union for a
while, at least. 1t is better that there
should be two cities than one, so far as
developing our resources is concerned.
But what we want all the rest of the
world to understand is that so far as
maintaining our commercial and indus
trial standard, the Twin Cities are a s
firmly consolidated as if they were
merged into one municipality.

The Tobacco Habit.

Chicago Herald.
Two congressman, the one from
Texas, the other from Massachusetts,
fell to discussing at the club the other
day the well-wOrn subject of the tobacco
habit. The Texas man. like many of
his Southern colleagues, is an inveterate
chewer. His friend from MaSSachuS-
ettS is, on the other hand, OutSpoken
and fond of using very strong language
whenever the subject of using tobacco
is preached.
Brother -" said he, sis it posi-
BILE that you chew tobacco?''
Il must confess L do" the other
quietly replied.
Then l would quit it SIR" senten-
tiously continued the Massachusetts
man. ''lt is an ungentlemanly practice
an uncleanly one. Tobacco? Why
even hog wouldn't chew it,"
Now, brother from the land of baked
beans, cod and culture" resumed the
Texan in his brawling manner, do you
chew tobacco?"
mo, SIR" emphatically declared the
other, almost with indignation. NO,
sir; do not"
"Then pray" asked the Texan, as he
lazily changed the quid from his right
jaw to his left, (which is most like the
hog, you or -"
1t is needless to add that the MasSa-
chusettS man, after that sally, stood
treat for the crowd.

DAKOTA,s NATURAL GAS.

The fact that the boring of an artesian
well at Miller, Oak. revealed the pres
ence of natural gas in sufficient GUAM
tity to enable the burning of large
flame for several hours should inspire
the people of that prosperous territory
TO renewed exertionS in searching for a
deposit of gas large enough to be util-
lied for heating, lighting and manufact-
uring purposes. Even more than for
Minnesota would the finding of natural
gas in Dakota be significantly impor
tant. Though the search for it in this
state should not be abandoned until
the question is definitely determined as
to whether the gas exists in practicable
quantities or moi. Dakota is more vitality
interested, in that she is so much farther
from the sources of fuel supplies. 1t is
true that Dakota in almost its entirety
Is underlaid with carbonaceous for
nation called Ignite, which largely
takes the place of coal, but save for
household healing, 1t is difficult of utili-
cation. Timber, except in isolated sec
tons, practically does not exist. Should
the existence of gas in large quantities
be demonstrated, Dakota might expect
manufacturing as well as anIagricult-
ural future.

HARD ON STOCKHOLDERS.

The stockholders in the Northwestern
railroads, now engaged in Il disastrous
freight war, are singularly patient under
the attacks being made upon their
pocketboOks, for the stockholders are
the most serious losers by the war. Rail
way managers who have but slight in
tereSt, or no interest at all beyond their
salaries, in the properties with which
they are entrusted, can inaugurate and
maintain ruinouS rate war with equa-
nimity.
1t in no way affects them. Their sal
aries will be paid whether dividends are
earned or not, but the stockholders must
bear the brunt of every conflict. 1t is
safe to say that if committees from
the stockholders of different roads which
suddenly find themselves at loggerheads
could be summoned for a conference
whenever a rate war seemed immi
nent, a war would never take place.
Some kind of compromise would be
agreed upon which, even from the
standpoint of those who might consider
themselves Worsted, would be less dis
astrOuS than war like the one prevail
ing, which has already resulted in the
loss to the stockholders of several mill
ion dollars. Nor are the stockholders
the only ones whose interests are in
jured. With rate constantly chang
ing, the business world cannot fail to
suffer decentralization.
With no fixed rate upon which to es-
innate there cannot be anything like
harmonious or concerted action. and in
the end the people must suffer from the
disturbance existing in commercial cir
cles. Rate wars, in the long run. bene-
fit no one. In the meanwhile the stock
holders can reflect upon the unpalata-
bic fact that they apparently have no
rights the road managers are bound to
respect.

Alas! Poor Joel.

Duluth Herald.
There is a pretty lively opposition
throughout the state among old-time
Republicans to Joel HeatwoIe, of the
Mortified News. Joel is or thinks he is
a great deal better than his party and
thinks it cannot survive wi hOut lib
eral infusion of new blood. The Repub-
lican party has become tired from time
to time of some OF its best men, whose
abilities, experience and well directed
energies were still strong elements and
in many instances essential to success.
Every state has its grand old wrecks,
Conkling being one of the most con-
SpicuouS. for by silence he brought de.
feat upon the party. Minnesota has
laid away or has tried to lay away it's
Ramseys, its Windows, its Dunnells,
and the young chaps of the Heatwole
stripe would kill off the Fletchers. the
Pillsburys, the Langdons, and leave no
standing room for Nelson, for Strait or
Wakefield. They would drive the Scali-
dinavians back to Northland or into the
deep sea of Democracy unless they
prove to be content to merely vote the
Republican ticket without seeking office
OF its emolumentS.
