HIGH LICENSE TRICKERY.

In their desire for extreme legislation
in furtherance of their peculiar notions
concerning the liquor traffic, the high
license advocates have managed to
weave tangled web of the license law.
The decision rendered by the supreme
court shows plainly enough what amess
the high license people have made of it.
Probably no state ever had such con-
glomerated mass of inconsistent legiSla-
ton on any subject as the Minnesota
high license laws. In the language of
the supreme court, instead of hay-
ing one chapter containing the
whole law on the subject, i'll
which some degree of con-
sistency might be expected, we have
six, some at least apparently passed
without having in mind the provisions
of the Others" The result is that while
the poor retailer has to put up his $1,000
license the rich wholesaler goes scot
free. And yet the high license adyo-
Gates call this a movement in the inter-
est of temperance. 1t was time that the
high license sham was being exposed,
and now that the supreme court has
done it so cleverly there will be no diff

THEY ARE LOYAL

Those of our ultra-partisan Republi-
can friends who are fond of finding in
every word and action of the eX-Confed-
crate members of congress an inclina-
ton toward attaining through legisla-
ton those things which they failed to
obtain with the sword, and who are ever
ready to accredit them with disloval
motives, cannot but have been highly
edited by the spectacle presented them
in congress few days ago, when the
ex-COnfederates in the senate voted i'm a
body in favor of Senator DAVIS bill
granting the widow OF Gen. LOGAN a
generous pension.
According to the partisan idea, they
should have voted solidly against any
such measure, and should have de-
nounced with fiery Southern eio-
quence the authors of it. As a
matter of fact, the ex-Confederate
veterans have warmer fraternal feel.

AGAIN IN A RAGE.

Editor FRANK HATToN, who has
undertaken the hereulean task of boil
stering up the confeSSedly weakened
Republican party, is again in rage be-
cause Senator SABIN, himself an emf
nent Republican, with facilities for OBJ
servation at least as good as those en-
joyed by Editor HATToN, recently
said: Il think BLAINE can have the
Republican nomination, if he cares
for it,"
Thereupon the stalwart editor wakes
wrOth and laSheS into Senator SABIN,
declaring that lit is time to stop this
twaddle." 1t may be remembered that
there is nothing in life hated so much
10y Editor HATrON as Mr.. BLAINE. He
then goes on to say that no man is so
big as to say he doesn't care for presi-
dental nomination, unless he feels and
implies doubt as to his party'S success.
Such SuppOsitiOn, Editor HATToN
says, could not be maintained now; for,
he asserts, 1.-The Republican party was
never in better shape to enter a presi-

HATToN's own showing, can his party
hope to be successful now?
As for Mr.. BLAINE, perhaps he in
tends to imply the very thing repudi-
ated by Editor FRANK. Experience, sad
enough, should certainly have taught
him that the success of his party, es-
pecially under his leadership, is dubious
in the extreme. Upon the whole, we
do not see why Editor HATToN should

coon GAS

The GLOBE had occasion short time
since to shake up the gas company on
account of the poor quality of gas they
were furnishing. We have no apologies
to make for the rattling we gave them,
for we know that it was deserved. But
in that spirit of impartiality and fair
ness which we aim to make a distinct
characteristic of the GLOBE, we now
deem it duty to compliment the gas
company for the most excellent quality
of gas they are furnishing the city dur
ing the Carnival season. The street illu-
limitations are the subject of general and
favorable comment, and the gas COM
pany are entitled to public recognition
for the good work they are doing in this
connection. All we have to say in addi-
ton is that if the gas company will just
continue the carnival quality of gas
there will be no further complaints.

OUR COUNTRY,S EXTENT.

The recent season of severely cold
weather demonstrated at least one thing
in way in which it could not have
been as clearly expressed otherwise. 1t
showed the wonderful extent and
variety of the United States. Ameri-
cans accustomed to the trayersing of
vast distances in rapid and comfortable
trains which practically annihilate dis
tance are, from their very familiarity
with the cOuntry'S vaStneSS, little i'm
pressed with its extent.
1t requires some novel and interesting
fact to impress it anew upon them.
Such a one was to be found in the re-
cent great range of temperature within
the limits of our northern and south
ern boundaries. For example, while
at st. Vincent, in this state,
during the greatest severity of the
cold snap the thermometer registered
So deg. below zero, at Key West, Fla,
it marked ~ deg. above, a range of 124
deg. Great Britain boasts that upon her
possessions the sun never goes down,
but she has to count in every little
island over which she exercises a pro-
tectorate to make good her claim.
America can boast upon one continent
every variety of climate known. and she
can further offer facilities for going
from one extreme to another, even
though the distance may be represented
by thousands of miles, more convenient
than those offered the traveller who
wishes to exchange England's disagree
able winter climate for the balmy breeze
of the Riviera, comparatively near at
hand. It's great country, this of ours
and Americans are almost as unready
as others to appreciate its extent.

FORCE THE FIGHTING.

The Philadelphia Record says that
the friends of tariff reform all along the
line should force the fighting and make
the campaign short, sharp and decisive.
That is the way to talk. There is no
use in making two bites of a cherry.
The question of tariff reform has been
before the country long enough for the
people to have made up their minds on
the subject. There is no need for pro-
longing the discussion or for dividing
the issue up into sections. This is the
year for final decision. The war is on,
and there must be an Appomattox for
somebody in November. If the tariff
reformers fall into ranks, stand shoul-
der, and force the fighting, they will be
yictOrS.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Jan. Sex
Sheriff John Weiner, of Chippewa
Falls, came to this city to-day and said
he was being unjustly accused by the
general rumOr of being implicated in
the Sadie Tibbitts outrage. He said
he had nothing to do with it, except that
the three men connected with the affair
were friends of his, and he had, On their
behalf, paid Sadie Tibbitts $3.50. and
she had gone with him before County
Judge Stafford at the Falls, and she had
given a receipt for the money and signed
an agreement releasing the three parties
from further liability; that she had de
manded $1,000 in settlement. which
Weiner said his friends refused to pay,
and that there was no outrage about it.
Mr.. Weiner called at Mrs. Tibbitts'
home to get her to cOrroborate this
statement, but she refused to admit
him. 1t is expected criminal actions
against Mrs. TibbittS' assailants will be
started as soon as they can be definitely
located. The man she recognized and
one of the suspected parties have left
Chippewa Falls, and their whereabouts
is unknown.

DAKOTA'S ADMISSION.

The Sioux City Journal lashes itself
over the GLOBES declarations that Da-
kota'S only chance of admission is as
one state, and that the majority of the
people of the territory are in favor OF
this proposition. The inability of the
advocates of division TO discuss the
question in rational and argumenta-
tive style is itself proof of the GLOBES
assertions. The slight majority on the
face of the returns at the late election
in Dakota is no evidence that the
popular sentiment in the ter
ritory is in favor of division.
On the contrary, it is evidence of the re-
verse, because in spite of the eXtraor-
dinary exertions put forth by the divis-
iOniStS the vote in favor of division fell
a long ways short of a majority of the
total vote of the territory. And then it
must be remembered that great many
of those who voted for division were in
no sense welded to that proposition.
They may have preferred division, but
they infinitely prefer that Dakota shall
be admitted as whole than not to be
admitted at all. Seeing that there is
positively no chance to have two
states carved out of the ter
ritory, they are now earnestly at
work in the effort to secure admis-
sion as whole. So the GLOBE has been
fully justified in its assertions, and there
is no occasion for the partisan Repub-
lican journals to lose their heads over
it. The movement to secure admission
for Dakota as one state is absolutely
non-partiSan. 1t is favored by Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike-all of them
honest friends of Dakota, who are la
boring for the best thing that is attaina-

Vigorous Measures Being Offered

as classified by the executive council.
IhlS is cut Of l cent per mile from
present rates. The roads will try and
get a hearing before this committee.
Their representatives here claim that
they had no notice that action on any
railroad bills was contemplated so soon,
and think they can convince the COM
mittee that such bill would work great
injustice to various lines. A resolution

man of the railroad committee. prOyid-

enough about these questions already.
In the house CumminS introduced res

way bills introduced. with instructions
to report at an early day upon their con-
Stitutionality. Mr.. Cummins is the au-
thor of bill to regulate freight and
passenger fares. which was Endorsed
by the recent shippers convention
held in this city. That indorse-
ment created good deal of
enmity among members of the legisla-
ture who had similar bills pending, and
the charge was at once made that the
Cummins bill was not constitutional.
For the purpose of settling this question
Mr.. Cummins introduced his resolution,
but the disappointed fellows combined
against him and laid it Oh the table.
Mr.. Cummins also introduced local
option bill allowing cities of 10000 or
