MOTHER AND THE GIRLS.

Farmers Call.
These are hard days to endure and
keep the record clean To get up when
every bone and muscle vet aches, when
the hands and feet are sore, and tumble
out and get ready the team, while moth
er and the girls get breakfast-hard to
do this and not be cross to somebody.
But don't. Last of all, don't be cross
to mother and the girls. These days
are lust as hard on them as you; the
chances are that mother and the girls
are more tired and stiffened than you.
And mother is most tired of all-She
who watched YOU so tenderly when you
we're a mass of blushing, helpless hu-
manitv, who has been your best friend
and least complaining slave ever since.
Nothing will take away your tired
feeling more quickly than to do mother
and the girls good turn-bringing for
them a bucket of waterAor an armful of
wood. 1t will make you feel better all
day; and so will it mother and the
girls.

STATE POLITICS.

In the several columns of state politics
presented elsewhere in the GLOBE this
morning the old assertion that there is
nothing new under the sun is fairly dis
proved. There are several new things
there that the leaders of both parties
can read and profit by. The political
drift of the hour is carefully outlined,
and from the whole a man of sound
judgment may draw wise differences as
to final results.
1t is the desire of the GLOBE in pre-
senting these symposiums to demon
strate its independence of any faction
or clique in politics in this state. 1t is
the paper Of the people, in duty bound
to offer to them everything that nimble
feet and alert brains can collect.
The columns of the GLOBE are for all,
barring no man for his faith, politics or
occupation. Politically the GLOBE has
no favor to seek Of any one man nor
preferment to bestow upon him. 1t is
Democratic in every sense Of that word,
awaiting with confidence the nominal
ing convention of that party, and pre-
pared to give its honest and cordial sup
port to the ticket selected.

THE NEwsBoYs' HOME.

Though the association which has IN
dertakan the establishment of news
boys home has suffered severe loss in
the death of Mr.. CORNING, who was one
of the originators of it, the project
should not be allowed to languish be-
cause it will miss the stimulating effect
of his ineXhaustible energy. There is
TO local charity more deserving than
this, with which Nj. CORNING was so
actively and earnestly identified.
The number of newsboys on the
streets OF st. Paul is constantly increas-
ing. They practically run wild. They
are bright little fellows. energetic and
quick TO learn. Properly handled, they
are capable of much development. Sur
rounded by vicious influences, few of
them, without some counter influence,
can be expected to develop into good
citizens With the proper training, all
Cf them can be made to aspire fcr higher
things than come within their sphere at
present. That training and influence
the newshoys' lnHme will furnish.
1t is noble work and deserves every
cIlCUuIuSCldctit. AiC IItcuCo VI MI.
CORNING, and they are legion, con.d net
render woltEier tribute to his memory
than to take up the work where he left
it and to carry i! TO successful eonciu-
sion, even on broader lilies than those
he laid down.
1t is gratifying to observe that such q
movement has begun. 1t should not be

p. B. Winston (Dem.)-I have my
preference, but don't care to express it
at present. am willing to say that the
nominee should be Minneapolis man.
Ed A. Stevens Dem.)EWhoever is
fairly nominated by the Democratic

but the presidential choice will not tend
to pull others through, owing to the

elect. The nomination is due to him
because of the magnificent run he
made last year.

MINNEsoTA,s CANDIDArE.

The esteemed organ of common sense
and decency in government, the Boston
Herald, deyotes little time to the con-
sideration of what is regarded as Gen.
WAsHBURN's candidacy for the presi-
deDcy. After some very pleasant COM
piimentary references to the dis
tinguished Minnesotian, it says: ''He
is one of those substantial persons who
are not inclined to be led away by i'm
pulse into serious mistakes, and he has
not been sufficiently prominent to make
enemies out of his own neighborhood.
He may not be a bad dark horse, and
we see no reason why Minnesota should
not make her entry with the Others"
Which is precisely our own opinion.
Gen. WAsHBURN is very reputable
gentleman indeed, and though be has
himself given the lie to the story of his
active candidacy, with becoming mod
esty he indicated that he would not re-
fuse the nomination If it were thrust
upon him. Consequently estimates Of
his probable speed as dark horse entry
were perfectly legitimate. There is, i'll
deed, no reason why Minnesota should
not make her entry with the rest. AS
previously pointed out, and as now
pretty generally admitted, the Republi-
can nomination will be made simply as
matter of form any way.
1t doesn't make one totals difference,
so far as the result is concerned, who is
selected. The people have already, un-
less ali signs fail, decided upon their
next president, and no action of the Re
publican convention can alter their de-
cision. AS for the rest, Gen. WASH
BURN is citizen worthy of any honor.
If there are any compliments to be paid
by his party. there is no reason why he
should not receive them.
Therefore, as Ono Of her most valued
people, why should not MINNESOTA put
him forward as the prospective recipient
of an honor which the most ardent Dem.
oerat could sec 10 reason for begrudg-
ing him. We second Gen. WAsn-
BURN S n0mination.

intimated that while Hennepin county
would not fail him, if he was defeated
it would be by the Democratic leaders
slaug htering him in the state at large.
Let us see. His majority over McGill
in Hennepin county, including Mime
apolis, $500: his plurality over all, 1865.
Dakota county gave him 900 majority,
her regular Democratic vote. LIE Sueur
county, the
HOME OF MIR. DORAN,
gave him 1,200 majority, one of the
largest votes in its history. Ramsey, the
home of Mr.. Kelly, gave him 1900 ma
jority, nearly double what his own
county recorded for him. Scott county
gave him 1,500 majority, her full vote.
These few citations (they might be car
ried out indefinitely show that if Dr..
AmeS had been as strong at home as the
party leaders were abroad, he would have
been elected. The result depended on
Hennepin county and Minneapolis. and
there DR.. AmeS failed. Is there any
evidence that he is stronger there to-
day than he was in 1886? TO make the
case still stronger look at it this way:

the campaign of 'S6 is concerned, DR..
Ames happened to be nominated at the
time when the Republicans had put up
the weakest man that ever headed their
ticket. He was weak because of his
lack OF magnetism, acquaintance, and
alleged association and combination
with wheat ring from which the farm
ers had suffered grieyously. Ames
reaped the advantage from this in the
country districts, and so would
have any other Democratic can
didate at that time. That
Ames was not individually strong

JUDGE wAITE's DE ATH.

The country was not prepared Tor the
sad intelligence which flashed over the
wires Yesterday, announcing the death
of MORRISON r. WAITE, the seventh
chief justice Of the supreme court.
Beyond mere announcement that the
eminent jurist did not have the physical
strength to endure the fatigue of read
ing the long decision of the supreme
court in the BELL telephone case, the
other day, there had been no intimation
that he was in unusually bad health. 1t
has been known for some time by those
best acquainted with him, that Judge
WAITE suffered from an organic disease,
and his intimate friends had more than
once suggested to him the pr0priety of
retiring from the bench. But no one
anticipated that death would come so
soon.
Judge WAITE has attained the full
measure of fame as jurist. The abil-
ity and acumen he has exhibited in his
opinions dnring his fourteen years serv-
ice as chief justice of the supreme
court will preserve his name to poster
ity as one of the most distinguished
jurists who has held this exalted sta
ton, and will entitle him to rank with
his great predecessore-JA Ellis
WORTH, RUTLEDGE, MARSHALL,
TANEY and CHASE.
1t is said that President GRANT ap-
pointed Chief Justice WAITE without
single recommendation, or other knowl-
edge of his character and legal attain
ments than he himself possessed. The
politicians laughed at the appointment,
and derisively spoke of Judge WAITE
as ''GRANT's discovery" But it was
not long until the laugh was on the
other side of the mouth. The remarka-
BILE qualifications he displayed for the
high and responsible Office showed
Gen. GRANTS wonderful sagacity in
estimating the true character of men
when untrammeled by the persuasions
of others.
Judge WAITE in an eminent degree
enjoyed the public confidence, and no
man has ever fallen at his post more fully
possessing the love of his countrymen.
His mind had that cool and philosophic
cast which fitted him for the high place
he occupied. He possessed a broad
vision of affairs, which lifted him to
great extent out of the reach
of the sharp and narrow passions
and prejudices of the hour. In the per-
Torrance of judicial duties he was
blind to all save the inward light of an
enlightened conscience. He was never
lost, obscured OF confused in following
and calculating the great and funda-
mental principles Oh which government,
laws and social order all depend. He
loved and upheld the law not merely as
a professional calling, but because is
was to his mind the symbol of govern
ment and national existence.
The death of the chief justice will de-
-yolye upon President CLEVELAND a
most responsible duty in naming his
successor. 1t is one of the few unstained
offices in the land, and the prayer of the
nation is that it may remain so forever.
Hence the responsibility of appointing
Judge YATES successor becomes all
the Weightier. Of course the new chief
Justice will be Democrat, but the ap-
pointment should not be made because
of any political service, Jurists and
patriots are wanted on the bench, not
nartiSanS.

o.COMSIOcN vote he receives
at home. Does any one suppose that if
MI. Cleveland had lost New York state
and been defeated his name would ever
have been proposed for the presidency
again? Votes count, and Dr.. Ames lost
just enough in his county to prove that
there was his vulnerable point. find
in another way a still stronger proof
that the result of the campaign of 1886
was due more to the
WEAKNESS OF M'GILL
than the strength of Ames in this. Take
the following fifteen counties, selected
at random, and look at the majorities
given in them in the following years:

votes more in Hennepin county than
Ames did. Ames polled 14,573 and Rice
14,6O5. The city and county are Re
publican, and I give DR.. Ames the
credit of making a strong fight there,
but he did not poll the vote he claimed
he would nor meet the large majorities
that outside counties brought him. He
was not then, in my Judgment, nor now
as strong candidate as short-sighted
thousand majority from the two cities
that know him best would have elected
him. He fell short of that 5000 odd

turn to the returns from the Fifth dis
trict where the name of John S. Pills
bury and the Minneapolis wheat COM
bine were used against McGill. He was
slaughtered fearfully by the Norwe-
gians, although Nelson's vote ran thou
sands ahead. There was no reason for
such bolt save the fear of the farmers
that McGill's success meant the intro
duction into politics and government
again of foe to their interests. Nicol-
let county-McGill's home slaughtered
him on personal grounds; the Republic
can local war in the First district cost
him votes; the weakness of Herbert in
the Third hurt him, and the way he
stole Ramsey county's delegation in the
Fourth operated seriously against him:

not operate against McGili he gained
votes over Hubbard's majorities Of 1882.
