LITERARY LEAVES.

The volume ON Martin Van Buren,, by
Edward M. Shepard, the latest con-
tribution to the american Statesman"
series, more than maintains the high
standard. observable in the other vol
umes of the series. 1t is not only an
interesting story of Van Buren's life,
but it is also a graphic history of
American politics from Van Buren'S
youth until his death. The stirring
questions which presented themselves
during his career are admirably dis
cusSed. The work is published by
Houghton, Mifflin & Co.
1.-The Black Arrow" by Robert Louis
Stevenson, like all of the authors
writings, has a delicacy of finish and a
beauty of style which is best compared
to the work of Irving. 1t is in Steven
sons characteristic vein and the thrill
ing romanticism of the war of the roses
finds very faithful portraiture in its
pages. 1t is published by Chas. Scrib-
ner'S Sons.
Prof. H. ". S. Cleveland has OBJ
tanned such deservedly high reputa-
ton as landscape gardener, artist
would be better term, that anything
he might write upon the subject comes
with the weight of authority. This was
especially the case with his address on
1.-The Aesthetic Development of the
United Cities of st. Paul and Mime
apolis," delivered last April to the Min
neapolis Society of Fine Arts, and now
published by the st. Paul book and
stationary store, where it may be OBJ
tanned for Is cents copy. 1t de-
serves reading by every citizen. The
same firm also has on sale the first two
volumes mentioned.

NO ENTHUSIASM.

1t is to be observed by all who read
that as the names of HARRISON and
MORTON are turned over in mems minds
throughout the length and breadth of
the country, no enthusiasm is the result
ton upon them.
The men are both respectable in the
broadcast sense, and because of that fact
except in few localities where the
ardent and disappointed advocacy of
other candidates has given rise to feel
ings of bitterness, there is marked
enough satisfaction evinced by Republi-
cans. But there is absolutely no en-
thusiasm. The satisfaction, where it
exists, is more frequently accompanied
by Indifference.
No one feels at all like swinging his
hat and hurrahing. In noplace is the eX-
ultation visible which greeted the nomi-
nation of CLEVELAND and THURMAN.
And without this feeling of enthusiasm,
which presages victory, our Republican
friends must admit, if only to them
selves, that they have no hope Of sue
cess.
They know that their ordinary party
vote will not elect their candidates, even
if the mild satisfaction with which the
ticket is met should succeed in bringing
out that full strength. They know that
fervent belief in the right, which is
the basis of real enthusiasm, cannot be
expected regarding the Republican can
didates from the large numbers of indie
pendent voters in the country, and that
furthermore, these voters will determine
the election.
AS, almost to man, they have de-
clared with the enthusiasm the Repub-
licans lack. for the Democratic candi-
dates, it will be seen that the prospects
of the latter are as bright as the former
are GLOOMY

RED WING CONVENTION.

The Red Wing convention seemed to
be kindly disposed toward Judge MAC
DONALD. They wanted to give him as
little trouble as possible in the coming
canvass, and therefore named a candi-
date for congress ON the Republican
ticket who would be an easy victim.
Senator HALL is nice young man who
is perhaps as deserving of the empty
honor conferred ON him yesterday as
anybody else. He probably owes his
nomination to Maj. STRAIT, who found
Mr.. HALL a convenient instrument with
which to cut Capt. REEDS throat.
Throat cutting seems to be a favorite
amusement among the Republi-
can bosses in the Third dis
trict, anyway; nor is it altogether
confined to the Third district. The
same methods are popular in some other
localities. 1t doesn't make much differ
ence this year, however, how many Re-
publican Threats are cut. There is
going to be a general cleaning out of
the Augean stables here in Minnesota,
and all the Republican bosses and ma
chine manipulators will be dumped out
in a pile. Notwithstanding the bad
treatment Capt. REED received in
the house of his friends at Red Wing
yesterday, he is better off than the man
who got the nomination. He won't have
to be showed under at the polls by the
big majority that will be rolled up for
CLEVELAND, MACDONALD and tariff re-
form.

THE ENos FRANCHISE.

Tonight the council committee on
streets will consider the matter Of
granting franchise to the Enos Ele-
waited Railway company. There does
not seem to be any reason why the COM
mittee should not favor the granting of
the franchise under proper limitations.
The company has given abundant evil
dence of its good faith and of its ability
to fulfill its promises.
The people are more than anxious for
additional means of urban and inter-
urban transit. The elevated road is
looked upon with decided favor, and
what is even more directly to the point
is, we understand, approved by major
ity of the property owners along the
proposed route. In the face of these
favorable conditions there seems to be
no room for opposition.
Having due regard for the rights of
the property owners and the interest of
the public, the committee should favor
the granting of the franchise and thus
give the people ''the way they long have
sought and mourned because they
found it not"

MI. Allison reported the army sppro-

dered, or that passions should he in
famed, as is usually the case in political
campaigns. The clean-cut phraseology
of the two platforms makes miSconStruc-
ton impossible, and leaves no room to
question the sincerity of the expressions
therein contained. The candidates on
both sides fit the platforms to the very
notch-they are the representatives of
the ideas embodied in each declaration
of principleS-So there can be no eX-
cuSe for the voter to be miSled.
The personal qualities of the candidates
on both sides are unimpeachable and
there can be no justification for the in
lection Of calumny or mud-slinging into
the campaign. Taking the tickets and
platforms together, everything is re-
solved into the single and simple propO-
sition whether it is wisdom to continue
the Republican policy of imposing ex-
brilliant tariff duties for the purpose of
protecting aggregated capital, or
whether it is wisdom to adopt the
Democratic doctrine of reducing the
tariff to a revenue basis for the pur-
pose of protecting labor and cheaper
ing the cost of the necessaries of life.
The question is one which merits the
serious consideration of the entire
American people, and they propose to
give it thoughtful attention. The usual
clap-trap arguments INDUCED in by
politicians will not go in this cam
paign. The clamor of the demagogue
will count for nothing. Only the sensi-

who deals honestly with facts and fig
ures, and who fortiieS his statements
with logical argument. The masses
have their studying caps on, and they
are not to be deceived by artificial terms
and false definitions. They understand
the issue as it has been presented by
the two great parties, and they have
taken it to their homes with them. There
by their own firesides they are dissecting
it-StudyIng it with relation to its
bearing on their home affairs and every
day life. And when they have gotten
to the core of this tariff issue and under
stand it in all its details, and know how
to apply the principle to their own bust
ness concerns, then, and not until then,
will they determine how to vote in the
approaching presidential election.
1t is to be thoughtful campaign, and
the stump orator who starts out in the
stereOtyped fuss and feather style will
only succeed in making fool of himself
in tine eyes of the public.
The voter who is satisfied that his in
dividual interests will be promoted by
abollshing the tax on whisky and to-
bacco for the purpose of making it
higher on raw materials and the neces-
saries OF life, will vote for HARRISON
and MORTON.
The voter who, after giving careful
study to the subject, concludes that his
individual prosperity will be promoted
by keeping the tax on whisky and
tobacco and lowering it ON his food and
raiment and working implements, will
vote for CLEVELAND and THURMAN.

scented to the American people in so

THE ONE-TERHa IDEA,

The Republican papers with her

capital out of President CLEVELAND's
declaration, contained in his letter of
acceptance four years ago, that a presi-
dent should hold Office for but one term.
Quoting this Individual opinion they are

We fail, however, to discern any
soundness in their reasoning. Granting
that it was Mr.. CIEvELAND'S expressed
opinion that president should hold
Office for one term only, and asserting
that such is his opinion to-day, we can
not see that he is to be accused of in
consistency, but is rather to be COM
niended for subordinating his private
views to the unanimously and contrarily
expressed opinion of his party.

A CHINESE PLATFORM.

Historians tell US that in the Chinese
language at the time of CoNFUCIUs
there was word which in English
would look like this:
Observation-Disclosures.
The literal meaning of this syllable
demon is:
Nothing.
1t is fitting to describe the platform of
the Third district Republican conven-
ton with that word.
More than that, it is dishonest plat
form. 1t conveys ideas not intended to
be put into practical effect by the men
who drew it.
1t indorses the Chicago high tax plat
form, then with inconceivable celebrity
recommends a tariff for revenue only,
the Simon-pure Democratic doctrine of
Minnesota. In this it is dishonest.
Fortunately it is so clumsily drawn that
its effect will be immarerial. Judge
MACDONALD can confidently face it
with an honest, ringing low tax plat
form and bury it out of sight.
