THEY WANT BENJAMIN.

A change of administration is great
nuts for the Washington hotelkeepers.
1t brings flock of hungry officeseek-
ers to the national capital, who hang OH
as long as there is anything to hang on
to. Consequently, the hotelkeepers
enjoy harvest. 1t is funny, however,
to observe the rivalry among the lead
ing hotels as to which shall have the
honor of entertaining the president
elect and his family during the pre-
inaugural days. Gen. HARRISON has
already received gilt-edged invitations
from the leading hotels. but the impress
sion prevails that he will decline all of
them, and will make his home with
Senator SHERMAN until the time comes
for him to occupy the White house.

GOOD BUILDING WEATHER.

The summer is past, the harvest is
ended, but the fine buildings continue
to go up-in this city justasif this were a
region of perennial. spring. The splen-
did autumn and its disposition to linger
in the lap Of summer has been worth a
good deal of money to st. Paul. This
has been essentially st. Paul's great
building year-not distinguished so
much for the number of buildings that
have been erected as for the superb
character of the buildings. A glance
along any of our principal streets will
reveal the wonderfully solid appearance
the city is assuming. Where there were
vacant lots on which old ShantieS stood
in the early spring are now seen mass
i've walls and ornamental structures
that would do credit to any city on the
continent. The unusually fine fall
weather has been an aid to the builders
and contractors, in that it has enabled
them to get many buildings under cover
before winter sets in that was not eX-
pected when the foundation stones were

He WILL DO 1T.

A leading Republican paper Of Ohio
insists that the president will ''insult
the nation" if he reaflirms his tariff re-
form views in his December message.
The chip may get ready to fall, for that
is just what he will do. The Ohio idea
that he was 'ssat down upon" heavily in
the election is not fortified by an aggre-
CATION of the voting figures, which show
that more Endorsed Mr.. CLEVELAND
and reduced taxation than did Mr.. HAIR
RlsoN and his platform for the enrich
ment of the few at the expense of the
many. AS the vote is counted by states,
and not in the aggregate. the election is
given the minority candidate. 1t is
monopolistic and partisan arrogance
that would dispute the right and pro-
priety of the adherence of the president
to the policies that he believes will pro-
mote the nations welfare.

been an enthusiastic Cleye. and and
Thurman girl, and, like her two hand
some assistants, she has possessed a

bandana did not abate even after the

the Democratic emblem around her

that it was time for Miss Hatred to dis

clared that she was still proud of the
campaign emblem of the Old Roman

Homes then handed Miss Hatred 50
note and asked her to change it fer him.
AS she picked up the bill he grabbed
the bandana. but she managed to retain
it, although in the struggle one of her

THE ELECToRAL COLLEGE.

The electoral college business is not
well understood by many intelligent
people. They imagine that it is merely
a sort of machine for counting or declar-
ing the vote. Practically, it is mere
clerical work The electors meet at the
various state capitals the first Wednes-
day in December and vote for president
and vice president by ballot. The vote
is counted. and the result sent to Wash
ington. Legally, these electors can vote
for any man they choose. The eight
gentlemen in Minnesota might cast the
vote Of the state for CLEVELAND and
THURMAN. To do so would be breach
of popular trust SO fragrant as to render
life as uncomfortable afterwards as
BENEDICT ARNOLD found it after not
able incident. In the history of the
country there has never been an in
stance of refusal to vote for the
nominees of the party, and there is
small danger from this source. Should
the candidates Of the party for both
president and vice president die after
the November election and before the

SELFISH POLITICS.

This is emphatieally an era of selfish
politics. We can find no more striking
illustration of this truth than in watch
ing the progress of political events here
in our own state, and nowhere is it to
be more apparent than i'll the approach
ing senatorial struggle. Merit and
capacity to serve the public interests
are sought to be eliminated as factors
in bestowing public honors, and the en-
deavor is made to hinge everything upon
the power of the almighty dollar. The
GLOBE can speak on these matters from
an unprecedented standpoint, because
the Democratic membership in the next
legislature will be so small as to make
the election of a Democratic senator an
utter impossibility. We recognize that
the next senator from Minnesota will
be Republican: yet that does not pre-
vent us from taking an Interest in the
matter, nor from experiencing desire
that senator may be chosen who will
be capable of rendering good service to
the state. independents of all other con-
sideratlons, our state pride would
awaken an interest Of this character.
But to return to the original PROPOSE
ton, we deplore the evidences to be
found on every hand that politics in
this state should have degener-
ated to such purely selfish basis
that q mans wealth should be
paraded as his chief recommendation
for office. Moralizing on the corrupt
influence of money in politics doesn't
seem to have been successful method
in the past for putting an end to it. Nor
will it, as long as those who have itch
ing palms are permitted to control the
political machines. But the reaction
will come after awhile, and it will be
with terrible force when it does come.

meeting of the electors in December,
they would probably select some new
man if they could agree, which would
be very difficult in so shoit time. 1t
is contingency SO improbable that no
provision is made for it. The only in
stance of thesdeath Of either candidate
in that period was in the case of HoR-
ACE GREELEY. AS he carried but
few states, 1t was immaterial how
his electors voted. The electoral
system is cumbersome. and not
free from dangerous contingencies,
but the efforts for its improve
ment have been stranded on the rocks
of party jealousy.

Lost at the Altar.

New York Sun.
The church was thronged with peo-
pie. White flowers decked the altar
rail, and standing behind them. arrayed
in immaculate robes, stood the bishop
who was to weld in one the two fond
hearts that up to that hour had beat in
unison. Up in the organ loft sat the
urganist, his fingers wandering idly
over the keys, his face turned from the
instrument and fixed on the bishop, who
was to give him the'signal for the wed
ding march,"
In the robing room stood the groom
and the best man clad in evening dress,
likewise awaiting the opening strains
of the wedding march," which were to
announce the arrival OF the bride.
Suddenly the doors at the rear opened

from the guests as Washington III. Hig-

they twain step to the altar rail. Then
hush comes over all as the bishop
makes the opening prayer.
But what is the matter with Marjorie?
She clutches wildly at the altar rail.

But He Lived TOO Long. and Now
She Wants Pay for His Board.
Chicago Herald.
When Godfrey Gorenflo died in 1884
he left wife and eight children utterly
penniless. Mrs. Christina Gorenflo, the
widow, lived at 81 North avenue, and
about the time of Godfrey's death Henry
Breckman, an old man and infirm, went
to board with her. He had no money,
but his life was insured for 81, 900 in tho
Independent Order of United Worltmen,
and he agreed with Widow Gorenflo
that if she gave him food. lodging and q
little spending money and paid his as
sessments she should have one-ffth of
the insurance money when he died, and
four-fifths of the assessments paid by
her should be repaid. Mrs. Gorenflo
considered this good barga II,
calculating that old Breckman,
then veLy feeble, would die off
before she spent more Oh him than her
One-ffth share of his insurance would
amount to. But he was not so sick as
he looked, and he hung on four years.
When he died. few weeks ago, the
widow discovered that she had spent
81, $50 on him instead of $500, Brock
man had four children in Michigan to
whom the insurance is payable. Mrs.
Gorenf1o filed bill yesterday throwing
herself upon the tender mercies of the
court. She says that one of the daugh-
tiers of Breckman living in Michigan is
about to collect the insurance money,
and that she will not pay Mrs. Gorentlo
her $500. Further than this. she wants
the court to declare that she is entitled
to SLIGO, and restrain the Michigan
woman from collecting the insurance.
Judge Tuley granted an injunction as
prayed for until the case can be heard.
The widow Gorenflo ayers that the old
mans children never came near him
while he was alive, and allowed him to
linger thirteen days in a hospital and
die, but that their appearance was
prompt when death fixed its hand upon
him.
