One man was breaking the lock Oh the
barn and the other was looking at a
cutter standing near the stable. When

down by Griffin, who pulled his gun on
them. The men had in their possession
a horse and buggy, stolen from Steven

THAT FIAT MONEY PARTY.

There is another ne party in process

the Prohibitionists, the Socialists, the

old National GreenDack-Labor party
have all failed to satisfy the dissatisfied
elements. aud now it is proposed to
bring the whole cranky outfit into an
organization that will sweep the coun-
try in 1892. This party is to be formed
on 4 money basis. 1t favors a govern
mental issue of fiat money, and in such
o quantity as to wipe out the national
debt at one payment; TO pay all indi-
Yidual and municipal debts, in fact TO
pay up everything, square everything,
wipe out all Indebtedness and let the
nation commence life anew. The the
orv is that with all its old Indebtedness
wiped out the country can safely settle
down to a gold and silver basis, and
heuceforth proceed to bud and blossom
like a rose in its business prosperity. 1t
is not much of theory, to be sure; but,
like the music of the modern opera, is
Just catchy enough 10 take with the

THE OFFICIAL VOTE.

The official canvass of the vote cast
in this state at the late election, which
was competed yesterday, and published
in full in the columns of the GLOBE
this morning. presents some interesting
figures for the study of those who take
an interest in the politics of the future.
The total vote of the state in round
numbers is 10000. Multiply this num-
her by 5.83, and the total population OF
the state is shown to be 1,500, 900, which,
according to the present basis OF con-
gressional representation, would entitie
Minnesota TO ten representatives in the
lower house of congress. According to
this figuring, under the next census we
will double our representation and in
crease our electoral vote from seven to
twelve.
1t will also be observed that, while
Gen. HARRISON had a plurality OF
$4,000 over MIR. CLEVELAND, his major
ity was only fraction over $4,000. On
their vote for governor, the Prohl-
bitionists came very near fulfilling their
promise TO double their vote OF two
years ago. The vote for governor fur
nishes a better basis for figuring on
local results in the future than the vote
on the presidential ticket. Mr.. MER-
IAN leads Mr. WILSON with plurality
of 24.0OO. but only shows up with clear
majority of about 1000. The most
peculiar results of the election are seen
in the congressional vote. In some OF
the districts the vote on congressman Is
more of an exhibit of the personal efforts
of the candidates than of any political
phase of the contest.

THE SALr TRUST.

An agent of the English salt trust is
now in this country organizing syndi-
cate that proposes to unite all the salt
plants in the United States and Can
ada into one great trust, With headquar-
tiers in New York. The trust is being
organized here for the purpose of act
ing in conjunction with the salt trust in
England, to regulate the production of
salt the world over and to raise prices
at the will of the combine. 1t is now
easy to understand why the United
States senate hesitates to take up the
tariff bill. Action must be delayed un-
til the various manufacturing interests
succeed in forming their combines. and
then the tariff schedule will be fixed to
suit the interests of the various trusts.
1t seems to have come to this complex
ion at last, that the people have no
rights which the political trusts are
bound to respect.

1t is almost incomprehensibe to us in
this country, where politics is a BUSH
ness. how British administration can
be changed in so short a time and for so
slight cause. The result of Skirmish

the entire British cabinet. If the little
garrison is cleaned out by the handful
of Arabs besieging the place, then
SALISBURY steps down from the pre-
miership. and RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
takes his place. Over here change of
administration can only be effected by a
long political campaign, involving tue
expenditure of hundreds of thousands

MINNEAPOLIS.
Is THE BOARD ASLEEP.

The GLOBE makes no assumption that
Police-Captain Harvey is guilty of the
charge preferred against him, even
when that charge is backed by so re-
doubtable authority as Burglar David
son, but as the charge is made, it is
given entire publicity, and the demand
is made that the police commission give
it a thorough investigation. This is no
new matter. 1t has been both openly
and darkly limited at, and Harvey has
himself demanded an investigation.
Why the board has not already done so,
is one of the many mysteries of that
extraordinary municipal body. 1t has
hurriedly rushed into the hearing of
innumerable small and petty charges of
police Irregularities, but has delayed
this case until it is open to the charge
of neglect. 1t must be aware of the
public comment its course has Occa-
stoned. 1t must be aware that every
patrolman has discussed it, and it must
be aware that such course is exceed
ingly detrimental to tie morale of the
force. AS much to itself as to Harvey
does the beard owe prompt and COM
plete investigation.
