HONORING CARLISLE.

There is no man in the Democratic
party who is more worthy of honor than
CARLISLE, of Kentucky. There is none
who has more conclusively proven his
unSelfiSh devotion to the paTiy's inter-
ests, devotion that has been given at
the sacrifice of dearly cherished per-
Sonal ambition. 1t has recently been
developed that on two occasions within
the year has Speaker CARLISLE been
given an opportunity to go upon the
supreme bench. 1t has been the one
ambition of his life some day to wear
the gown of supreme court justice.
But in offering him the coveted posi-
ton, it is said, the president so strongly
impressed upon him the necessity, from
a party standpoint, of his remaining in
his present position that he put aside
his personal wishes, discarded the OPP
portunity of lifetime and remained
where he is-at the head of the house of
representatives. In his decision the
country lost an exceptionally valuable
man from the supreme bench, but it is
assured the retention of one in post
of the utmost responsibility, who,
while at all times loyal to his party, has
demonstrated his patriotism to be
stronger than his party feeling.
CARLISLE's friends are as numerous
on the Republican as on the Democratic
side of the house, and though they all
recognize his fitness for further prefer
ment, there would be universal regret
experienced upon seeing him relinquish
the Office which he has administered
with an impartiality little short of
wonderful.

THE WET WEATHER.

In addition to being something of a
phenomenon in this dry Minnesota eli
mate of ours, the present spell of wet
weather threatens to be a downright
calamity. We are now in the third
week of an almost continuous rain and
with no encouraging prospect of a let
up. In some countries, such as CalifOr-
MIA. for instance, three weeks rain
would be matter of but little conSe-
Quence because they are used to it, and
always look for it at stated seasons. But
here in Minnesota, where the rainfall
for whole year does not usually aver
age what it has been the last three
weeks, wet spell, such as we are now
afflicted with, puts us out of joint. 1t
paralyZeS business in the cities and
plays havoc with farming arrangements
out through the country. The wet spell
set in before the farmers were through
with their spring seeding. There are
great many unSowed fields III the North
west. and unless there is let up soon
the crop of spring wheat will be cut
short. The ground keeps so wet the
farmers are unable to plow for corn and
potatoes. Our adviees from the East
and South report spring drought in
those sections. Thus it is that nature
sometimes makes unequal distribution
of its bOuntieS. One section is being
dried up and another one is being
drowned out.

MONTANA CATTLE.

The complaint which some of the
Montana cattlemen are making against
the quarantine laws, through whose OPP
Grafton they are prevented from bring
ing cattle into the territory from Texas
is,from their standpoint, natural enough.
The loss of cattle induced by the sever
ity of the winter of two years ago fell
the heaviest upon the stock owners
whose herds were composed of Texas
cattle. They naturally look toward
Texas cattle for the replenishment of
their stock.
But itmay well be doubted whether the
importation of Texas cattle is advanta-
geous to the stock interests of the terri
tory at large or to the better interest of
the individual stockmen themselves.
Indeed, the veteran cattlemen of the
territory do not hesitate to declare such
importation to be distinctly disadyan-
tageouS. The Texas cattle, accustomed
to mild climate, are unable well to
withstand the rigors of Northwestern
winters, even when they are brought
in early in the spring. Cold weather.
by which the native Northwestern cat
tie are not i'll the least inconvenience,
often proves fatal to them. The annual
death rate among them is always larger
than with the other stock.
Nor do the beeves from Texas herds
command as satisfactory prices as those
from the native Montana stock, which
is recognized to be unexcelled. Besides

ILLINOIS DEMOCRACY.

The Democrats of Illinois have made
up their mind to run Assistant Post
master General STEVENSON for gov
ernOr. All that is needed to carry this
programme into effect is to obtain Mr..
STEVENSON consent. The wisdom of
this movement on the part of the lii
nois Democrats will be justified by the
results, for it is almost certain to bring
Illinois back to its natural Democratic
mOOrings. Mr.. STEVENSON is a man of
recognized ability and of great personal
popularity. Being part of the admin
istration, he would be looked upon by
the Illinois people as the embodiment
of Mr.. CLEyELAND's low tariff opin-
ions. If there is state in the Union
that has cause to be anti-protective, it is
Illinois. With STEVENSON for can
didate on the platform of CLEvELAND's
message the Democrats ought to sweep

YOUNG DEMOCRATS.

Ii those Self-cOnStituted leaders of the
Democracy in this state, or those who
are recognized leaders by force of nat
ural ability, are wise this year in the
state conventions and the nominations
made, they will literally recognize the
young element in the party. They will
wisely distribute or select delegates OF
candidates who not only represent the
party machine, but those who are rep
against whom but one charge can be
made, and that that they are not pro-
fessional politicians.
1t is not going too far to say that in
the past the Democracy Of the state has
been slow in recognizing the junior ele-
ment Of the party. Democratic war
horses" are being honored daily, but
the war is over. Turn the ''War horses"
into pastures sweet with clover and
bring out the young and racing stock.
The Republicans with their league Or
organizations might have captured a
heavy young mems vote in Minnesota
had they not made it binding upon every
man joining that league to support Who
ever the party nominated and whatever
platform he stood upon. This is repug-
nant to the independence of youth. 1t
smacks of GRANT and BLAINE and
DORSEY Stalwartism.
Let the Democracy be wiser. Invite
the young men of the party into coun-
ellis and conventions, and make their
enthusiasm a strong card for the wears
work. Let the party pay less attention
to official patronage and more to a
healthful organization.
