STRAY SUNBEAMS

Editor WHEELoCK, like most editors carries
his sovereignty under his hat. In his inter-
view with the GLOBE this morning he states
distinctly that he will not go to Chicago as a
member of an instructed delegation, and
cannot be induced to look upon Mr.. BLAINE
as even possibility in the presidential race
Of course TIM BYRNEs' league organization
will make note Of this.

1t was in the convention of 1880 that q Re-
publican editor raised rumpus by refusing
to submit to ROSCOE CoNKLING's S nomination,
and then succeeded in stemming the tide in
favor of third term for GRANT. 1t ism often
that lightning strikes twice in the same place,
and it is possible that Editor WHEELoCK may
not have the opportunity of playing the part
of HoRATIUs at the bridge in the Chicago
convention. If BLAINE's legions have started
out to capture the convention, they are going
to do it.

sible man, Gov. HILL. You have forestalled
the action of the national Democratic con-

LAND. And the roads are not hilly, either.

MY CIGARETTE.

What soothes my busy mind
And makes me almost blind
To pain and debt?
What shakes the golden fleece
Of Fancy DER my brow in peacef
My cigarette.
1t shows me women fairer than
Ever were seen by mortal man;
The Tennysonian dream, divine,
Turned from the water to the wine.
1t shows me one l once did love,
Bright as an angel from above;
Not false, but true. I see her shadow set
In all the hazy softness of my cigarette.
Sometimes it seems as if the world
Were set to music and then softly whirled,
The bad all good, the fair ones never false,
To the dreamy air of some heayen-sent waltz.
So mind thee, wrinkled care,
And take forsooth. elsewhere,
Thy sigh and fret
For shouldst thou come in sight,
Serene, 1 will but light
My cigarette.

Rhode Island Elections.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 4.-The
full vote for governor was as follows:
Taft, Republican, 20,76S; DAVIS, Demo
crat, 17,444; Gould, Prohibitionist,
1888; majority for Taft, 1889. Proyi-
dence gave Taft 211 majority.
On the legislative ticket the Re-
publicans have gained nearly every
town which they lost last year.
Darlington, however, which has always
been Republican, was captured by the
Democrats. The gubernatorial ticket is
elected with little variation in the vote
on any of the candidates. The exact
status of the general assembly cannot
be given on account of the failure of
election in Newport and couple of
towns, but the Republicans will have a
majority on joint ballot.

JACKSON, Miss, April 3.-The Re
publican state convention met to-day
and nominated delegates to the national
convention. About 125 colored and
twenty-five white delegates were pres
ent. Hon. John r. Lynch, colored,
was chairman of the convention
and made a speech attacking both
the state and national administra-
tions. The delegates chosen are:
John r. Lynch, James Hill, Z. w.
Stanger and j. McGill (white). Alter
mates, T. p. Hill, II. III. Harvay and G.
Rosenbaum (colored). The delegates
are not instructed, but the resolutions
referred to John Sherman as "a popu-
lar statesman and one of the strongest
men mentioned for the presidency, and
whose nomination would be especially
acceptable"

schools is quite without warrant. There
is as much reason for teaching Bohemian
in the public schools, since large num-
ber of the people are BOhemians, as
there is for giving instruction in any
other language except English; yet he
would be very bold man indeed who
would advise the introduction of Bo-
hemian in the public school curriculum.
The common schools should give
plain, substantial and thorough instruc-
ton in the English language in the Ordi-
nary branches of learning, and nothing
else. Anything beside that belongs to
the province of the academy and college.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS.

St. Paul daily globe., 1888-04-05
WHISTLING WOMEN.

Women will be women. But that is
no reason why they should want to be
men. Glancing over the proceedings of
the national Woman's convention,
lately held in Washington, we fail to
observe anything to indicate that the
convention resulted in any good to the
female sex. There was a great deal Of
talking done, some resolutions were
passed, good many false standards of
woman's sphere of usefulness erected ;
but for all that there was nothing done
of practical nature in the way of ele-
waiting womankind.
The trouble is these women agitators
are pulling at the wrong end of the
string. They are clamoring for equality
of the sexes without once considering
that the equality they are claiming
means Woman's degradation. This is a
chivalrous age, in which woman'S supe-
riority is recognized by men. Would
these female agitators have men lose
their reverence for women? Oh, no; that
would never do. For if it should come
to pass that men should lose their faith
in the finer and nobler qualities of wom-
anhood, then there could no longer be
such a thing as social purity.
The wOman'S national convention
was disappointment in more respects
than one. Instead of being confined to
a discussion of such subjects as legiti-
mately relate to woman's welfare and
happiness, it was made the occasion
for giving expression to lot of silly
twaddle that was not only disgusting,
but Seditious as well. For example.
that ancient viragO, ELIZABETH CADY
STANTON, was allowed to occupy the
valuable time of the convention with a
batch of outrageous nonsense that
would have been disgrace to the
Paris commune. She predicted that
the day was not far distant when there
would be an uprising of women in red
revolution, unless the men came down
with the ballot for her sex. She threat
ened that unless woman'S right to be
masculine were recognized, they would
join hands with the socialists and an
archists and re-enact the scenes of the
French revolution in this republic.
If women are denied any rights that
belong to them, such outgivings as
these do not help their cause. 1t would
be reflection upon American woman
hood if Mrs. STANTON were typical
American woman. But she is not. The
most charitable thing that can be SAID
of her is that she is crank. However,
if the late convention at Washington is
the best that our American women can
do in the way of holding national con-
crosses, they had better give up the con-
vention business and stay at home in
the future to look after the babies.

He Has Been Found.

To the Editor of the Globe.
In your issue this morning, under the
caption ''Stray Sunbeams," the fol-
lowing is quoted from the Chicago
News: "The Chicago News thinks that
President Cleveland has a chance to
immortalize himself by appointing to
the chief justiceship lawyer who has
never been in politics. Where is he
and when did he Gomez"

NEEDED PENSIONS.

Though the spirit of American inSti
tutions is opposed to the creation of a
civil list, it would seem that there are
some instances in which pensions might
well be granted to others beside the
manned veterans of the war. A case in
point is that of Chief Justice WAITE.
Occupyinga position whose dignity had
to be maintained in style admitting OF
no niggardliness, the salary of the chief
justice was no more than adequate for
daily needs.
Saving was quite out of the question.
Nor was it possible for him to earn any
thing beyond his salary. His whole
time was devoted to his duties. The
natural result followed. At his demise
his family is practically penniless. Had
Mr.. WAITE not gone on the bench, the
chances are that he would have left a
competence as the result of his life
labor.
1t would then be fitting enough, fol-
lowing the precedent established in the
case of Mrs. LOGAN, to vote Mrs.
WAITE pension sufficient, at least, to
keep her from want. Retiring justices
are pensioned. Why, then, should not
some provision be made for their wild
ows, whose means of support disappear
with the decease of their husbands?
The same reasoning should hold true in
the case of the widows of presidents,
but it is particularly forcible with re-
gard to the justices, who must rely en-
tirely upon inadequate salaries to leave
their families in comfort.
Failing the favorable consideration of
the pension idea, the salaries of the SUI
preme court justices should be substan-
TALLY increased. This country is GER
tainly rich enough to treat men of whom
so much is expected with liberality.

The Farmers in Earnest.

Washington Post.
For four months the Republican lead
ers in the senate and the house, and all
the protection organs, have been de-
nouncing the presidents tariff message.
Two or three of the fifteen or twenty
Republican aspirants for the presidency
are now on the stump denouncing that
message. 1t is the intention of the Re-
publican managers to make denuncia-
ton of that message the chief feature
of the national platform. Under such
circumstances, how hard it must be for
these brethren to have the farmers of
the great Republican state of Minnesota
rise up and send areSonant shout across
the Alleghanies to the legislators in
Washington: ''We heartily indorse
President Cleveland'S views on the
tariff ISSUE"

Who would have thought it? An ac7

of the state to inveigh and to organize
against the influence of wealth, mOnop-
oily, aristocracy, Capitalization and boss
ism. This organization of outraged cit
liens, as well as unorganized indignant
individuals OF their representative
spokesmen, are now seeking satisfaction
by ignoring every producer and laborer
in the state, and hunting for a governor
among the most eminent representatives
of the very classes that have been de-
nounced. The candidates selected suit
US personally, but what a specimen OF
consistency.

1t does seem that the Minnesota man
will get to the front, no matter in what
position he is placed, and he takes
everything he has in hand to the front
with him. We are again reminded of
this fact by the issue of the third num-
ber of the National Editorial Journalist,
which, in typographical appearance,
and in the quality of its matter,is in adj
vance of anything of the kind we have
ever seen. The National Editorial
Journalist is publication of great
value to all members of the newspaper
profession, yet in this locality we take
especial pride in its vast improvement
because two of our Minnesota news
paper men are now most prominently
identified with it. Hon. B. B. HERBERT,
of Red Wing. is editor-in-chief, and
Maj. II. NJ. NEwsoN, of this city, is one
of his associates. 1t is just as we-have
said, whenever the Minnesota man gets
to the front, he moves everything along
according to the Minnesota style.
