REGISTER.

The GLOBE makes final appeal TO
the voters of st. Paul to give their at
tention to the matter of registering, and
we desire TO impress upon every voter
in the city that it is duty he owes to
himself and to the city to see to it that
his name is placed on the register next
Tuesday. 1t will be the last day
that there will be an opportunity for
registering, and if your name does not
go on the list that day you will be ex-
cluded from the polls on election day.
This appeal is not partisan. 1t is in
tended for you. whatever your party
affiliations may be. 1t makes no differ
ence SO far rs thiS matter of registering is
concerned whether you are Democrat,
a Republican, Prohibitionist, Labor
union man, Greenbacker, a BelYa
LockWOOdite, or what nOt--it is your
duty to register next Tuesday if you
have not already done so.
We hold that it is a part of good citi
zenship to vote. The man who is in
different to the use of the ballot is not
good citizen. 1t is through the ballot
alone we secure good government and
purity in official life. These are things
that good citizens cannot ignore. hence
it follows that the exercise of the elect
i've franchise and good citizenship are
inseparable.
There is another reason of a local
nature why every voter in st. Paul
should feel it his duty to register. We
claim that our city's population is equal
to that of Minneapolis, and yet in the
two days previously set for registering
Minneapolis showed up registration
of 5000. while st. Paul came in with
less than 24.0OJ.
We have IeaSOn to believe that this
great difference in the registration of
the two cities was because our Mime
apois friends were more alive in re-
spect to this matter than we were. They
turned ont last Tuesday in force. Our
people prOcrastinqted.
Do not let such a lethargic state of
affairs exist in this city next Tuesday.
Let every man whose uame is not Oh
the register list make it his business to
20 to his voting precinct next Tuesday
morning and have his name enrolled.
Whatever else you may forget,
Remember to register.

MERRIAMpS MISTAKE.

1t was sad mistake Mr.. MERRIAM
made in his speech the other night
when he attempted TO strain a point
against the Democratic party by casting
reflections upon Gen. SHELLEY, or upon
his administration OF state affairs while
he Tiled the office Of chief executive of
this state. The most that Mr.. MERRIAM
made of it was to show that he is alto
getller as ignorant in matters pertaining
to the history of his own state as he is
of the tariff question. The debt re-
ferred to by Mr.. MERRIAM was not the
creation Of any one official, or of any
one party. 1t was a railroad bond debt,
created under the constitutional amend
ment authorizing the issue of $, 900. 900
of state bonds to aid in the construction
of certain lines Of railroad. The debt
was created by the people of the state
irrespective of their party affiliations.
And, as is matter of history, Cos.
SHELLEY was individually opposed to the
creation of the debt, and so far as, he
dared to do, interp0sed his official
authority TO prevent its creation.
1t is bad politics to either pervert the
truth or to obscure it. 1t is still worse
politics to attempt to besmirch the char
acter of man whose life of more than
three score and ten years has been one
of unsullied purity. Gen. SIBLEY needs
neither defense nor yindication at
our hands. His life and his deeds
are his everlasting bulwark against
defamation. In all Minnesota'S history
there stands 10 grander figure than
HENRY ii. SIBLEY-the leader of the
pioneers III territorial days, the man
who laid the foundation of Minnesota's
statehood, who has ever been the states
most loyal citizen and its bravest de-
fender, ana who still lives, God bless
him, noble example to this younger
generation of all that is worth initiating
in private or public life. What folly,
then, in young. inexperienced and I'M
informed man like Mr.. MERRIAM to
hope TO prop up his own lettering poIiti-
cal fortunes by casting unwarranted
SlurS upon the name and history of a
man like Gen. SIBLEY. Mr.. MERRIAM
should follow the generals kind advice,
and remain in Jericho until his beard is
grown,

JAIL REFORM.

Secretary HART, of the state board of
corrections and charities. will recon-
mend in his next annual report the
adjustment of county jails and the
substitution of district jailS instead.
The main reason submitted for the pro-
posed change is on the score of econ
omy. The criminal expenses are al
ways among the heaviest burthenS to
taxpayers inmaintalnlng a state govern
ment, and whatever looks to a reduction
of these expenses will naturally arrest
the attention of taxpayers, and merits
their consideration.
The jail is an institution that has
come down to us from the early ages,
and is one that will not be dispensed
with until the millennium dawns upon
earth. Silt 1t is. and always has been,
a costly affair-often, like the Indians
gun, costing more than it comes to.
There is no question as to the neces-
sity for maintaining the Jail system,
but there is question as to how to
maintain il more economically, and
with less burthen TO the taxpayers. The
plan Of establishing jail in each
county is of ancient origin, and it is
probably more out of respect for its
antiquity than for any practical benefit
derived from the plan that it is still adj
Eered 10. Mr.. HAIRS idea for reducing
jail expenses is TO have fewer iails. and
to establish a system of convict labor in
connection with the iails. The latter
question does not seem To us to possess
as much merit as the former. Expert
ence has demonstrated that convict Ia

THE w. C. II. U. AND PARTY.

The many true friends of real temper.
ance reform can most deeply regret the
outburst of party spirit that character
lied the recent meeting of the Women's
Christian Temperance union in New
York. The original purpose of this Or
SaniZation was such as to cause all good
citizens to bid it a hearty GOd-speed in its
noble efforts to lessen the widespread
evil of intemperance. People of all
shades of religious and political belief
realized that the cooperation of large
number of earnest and devoted women
would have powerful influence for
good in the cause. And so long as the
w. {. L. L. confined itself to the carry
ing out of the purpose which brought it
into existence it did great and good
work.
But the tempter, in the former OF
scheming politicians, entered the garden,
and as result the W. c. L. L. has re-
ceived blow from the effects of which
it will take years TO recover, if indeed
1t does not end in dissolution. The
immediate cause of the trouble was
the introduction by Mrs. FOSTER,
of Iowa, of resolution indorS-
ing the Republican party as the
only party of principle, purity and
goodness. This caused veritable tenn
pest and cyclone of abusive personali-
ties. Mrs. FOSTER accused Miss WEST
of editing a Dlackguard newspaper, and
Miss WEST retorted that Mrs. FOSTER
was traitor to the temperance cause.
The, result was that when Mrs. Eos
TIERS resolution was voted down she
organized bolt, aud 146 ladies with
drew from the union. 1t is now
rumored that rival organization, with
Mrs. FOSTER at its head, is among the
probabilities
The question now arises which cause
is the nearer the hearts of Mrs. FOSTER
and her foilowers-thato of temperance
pure and simple. or that of the Repub-
lican party? However this may be, one
thing is certain. From the exalted po-
sitiOn of noble women banded together
for good cause they have descended
to the level of everyday politics, and it
is as politicians that they will hereafter
be regarded. As consequence, their
power for good has been proportion
ately weakened.

But Judge LAWRENCE does not favor
hair-splitting theories. He holds it to
be a fundamental proposition that i'll
constituting Will it must be presumed
that the teStator intended to make a
legal disposition of his estate, and that
''it is the duty of the court to give to the
language used by the teStator such a
construction as will make the nstru-
ment or Limitation legal and valid, if it
can be done in harmony with well-set-
tied rules, rather than such
construction as will render it illegal
and nugatory" This will naturally
seem TO many readers 4 very self-evi-
dent proposition. but the long record of
will contests in this country shows that
it is a proposition that has frequently
been lost sight of. 1t is good thing to
have it stated so forcibly by so high an
authority,
