AN OPEN EVIL.

1t is a bad reflection upon the spirit OF
the times that, owing to the greed for
Office of an incoming party, the govern
or-elect of Minnesota must absent him
self from the state. The fact does not
speak we'll for the intelligence nor the
honesty of the men who are supposed
to control parties, nor does it indicates
the existence of healthy public sentl-
ment that might rebuke their Indecent
haste. A chronic officeseeker adyer-
tises to the world his own laziness ana
incompetency for public service. He
procIalms that, unable to succeed III
the manly duties of private life. he has
intentions of foisting himself upon the
taxpayers for future maintenance. And
the Shame of it is that he is permitted
to do so. The stencil of his deeds fills
the land, and disinfectants are non est.
Although something of politician HIM
self, Mr.. MERRIAM flies before it. and
his chosen advisers have sealed their
lips. There is tacit acknowledgment
upon their part that the evil is stronger
than they, and not to be faced until ne
cessity compels. Much in the way OF
reform might be done by Mr.. MERRIAM
if, when he takes his high place, every
present incumbent of office who is
worthy of retention be retained.

THE SUNS soPHIsTRY.

In its painfully evident anxiety to d.
vert suspicion from HILL, and to lay all
the blame for the defeat of CLEVELAND
upon the shoulders of the tariff re-
formers and the president himself, the
New York Sun perpetrates the follow
ing:
And in Minnesota, where the free trade
movement was said to be stronger, ami the
free trade rainbow brighter in the congress
districts than i'll any other Republican state.
the Democrats have lost three members,
making the delegation solidly Republican
again, as it was in 1885.
Having just concluded the Minnesota
campaign, the GLOBE can frankly say to
the Sun that but for the issue of tariff
reform HARRIsoNfs majority in Mime
sofa would have exceeded BLAINE'S in
stead of being 5000 less; that the Demo-
cratic party of Minnesota would not
have gained $4,000 new votes in this
state, as it has; and the party in itself
could not have been as strong in this
state as it is at this moment but for this
issue. In the congressional district of
JOHN LIND "a protectionist his major
| ity of $500 in 1886 was reduced to 5,40O
| in 1855 on the issue of tariff reform. In
KNUTE NELSON'S district the Republic
can candidate for congress (and high
| tariff advocate) received less than half
the actual Republican majority of the
| district Oh the issue of the tariff. Con-
| gresham RICE, Democratic, was de-
feated by apathy and treachery as
conspicuous as attended Mr.. Hills
support of CLEVELAND in New York.
! Congressman MACDONALD (Dem.) was
defeated by circumstances purely local.
and Congressman WILSON Oem.) was
defeated by the use of money and party
| dissensions. In the last two districts
| the money and paid speakers of the
Eastern protective tariff leagues were
as conspicuous as honey upon the slopes
of Hymettus. The trouble with the
Sun and all the birds Of ill-omen that
follow in its wake is that they are more
than willing now, as in 1876, 1872 and
1868. that the West shall continue to
nav tribute, greater than Israel ever
offered to Egypt, to the East. And the
West-wait until 1892 and if before that
time the tariff is not reduced on the
CLEVELAND lines there will be grave
and serious political trouble here.

SIX HUNDRED DISCHARGED.
What Republican Promises

what Republican PROMISES
Amount to After Election.
To the Editor Of the Globe.
In your issue of Sunday appeared the
following in your telegraphic news:
New York. Nov 1O.-The hands employed
by the Higgins Carpet works, 1000 in all.
tonight to protest against the discharge of
600 OF their number to-day. A committee OF
three were appointed to see that the owners
OF the works kept their agreement with the
weayers' local assembly, which deals with
the discharging and employing of hands. A
general strike may result.
Election is over now, and the pro-
tectiOnist factory lord, having secured
their votes under promise of steady
employment and good wages, will now
proceed to reduce his force at least one
third. With 600 of the 1000 thrown out
of employment at the beginning of win
ter, it is easy to see that the wages of
the remainder will be reduced. Before
election these men were told that II
they voted the Democratic ticket this
very thing would happen to them. What
do these men and their brother work
men think now? Had Cleveland been
. elected the above news item would have
been paraded in every Republican
paper as the result of his election.
Democrats can afford to wait and let
events vindicate the wisdom of their
position. But can the wealthy afford to
continue to maintain their mOnOpolies
by the same means they have been
using? think not. OBSERVER.

SHRINKING AJACKET.
An Unsuccessful Experiment at
the WatervIeit Gun Foundry.

Albany Argus.
An unsuccessful experiment wass
tried at the gun factory at the Water
Welt arsenal Saturday, the operation of
shrinking the steel jacket on a ten-inch
gun. Friday night the jacket was
placed on car, which was run into the
furnace opposite the shrinking pit.
Heat was applied very gradually until
about 4 o'clock Saturday morning, when
it was turned on full blast. The tube,
or rif1ed barrel, 1923 inches in length. upon
which the jacket is to be shrunk,
was then placed vertically i'll
the pit, muzZle down. The other end
of the tube, to a length of 137 inches,
the length of the jacket, was above the
level of the pit When the jacket was
so heated as to be sufficiently expanded,
it was taken from the furnace by an
enormous crane, lifted up over the
vertical tube and dropped down over il.
The hosting apparatus was imperfect
and the jackets would not slide down
over the tube mentioned. Some time
was spent in an attempt to remedy the
defect, and it was finally determined to
put the Jacket back in the furnace. as
it was rapidly cooling. The process OF
shrinkage after the jacket had been
slid upon the tube is conducted by
spray of water being thrown over the
jacket. cooling it gradually. and TINS
Shrinking it both ways. The gun when
completed will he 347 inches in length
and will weigh twenty-eight tons.

HOW 1T HAPPENED.
Not Discouraged.

Cleveland Plain-Dealer Dem.)
The Democratic party appears to be
beaten in this fight. We acknowledge
it. but neither we nor the Democratic
party are discouraged. 1t was a good
fight, honestly made. and however
much we may regret the result there is
no reason to regret the manner in
which it was fought by the Democratic
party. There were many causes that
contributed to the defeat of the Demo
cratic candidates, and some of them are
not creditable to the leaders of the Re-
publican forces. The expected gains
for the Democratic national ticket in
New York city and Brooklyn were not
realized, partly on account of the split
in the ranks of the party on the mayor
atty issue, but more from. the immense
amount of money used by the Republi-
can managers to debauch the voters and
to induce trading. There is plentiful
Republican testimony to that effect.

Did His Duty.
New York World Dem

New OFk " ORD Dem.
Grover Cleveland will go into history
as president who deliberately imper-
lied his own reelection and the con-
tinuation of his party in power out of
devotion to his duty as he saw it. Po-
litical courage of this sort is not COM
mon in these days of time-servers and
office-seekers. There are very few men
in either party who, situated as Presi-
-pent Cleveland was, would not have
been content to sit still and be floated
into second term on the wave of bust
ness prosperity and national peace that
followed his first election. There is not
a candid and intelligent politician in
the country who does not believe that
President Cleveland would have been
easily reelected if he had not raised the
tariff issue so near TO the election.

CONSISTENT INCONSISTENCY.

CONSISIENI 1NCONSISIENCY.
Editor Globe: Considering the attitude of
The liquor business in counteracting all the
good the churches are trying to accomplish,
and from al unbiased and unprejudiced
standpoint now that the election is over, do
you think consistent Christian, who be-
lieves in all the Bible teaches, and realizes,
the evils of the saloon, could have been any,
thing in the late campaign other than a Pro-,
hibitionist? A VorER.;n
ST. Paul, Mimi, Nov. IL, 1888. Ali
The GLOBE cannot undertake to derl
fine consistent Christianity" There
are SO many differences in creeds and
SO many different standpoints from
which Christianity is taught, it would he
a most difficult task to erect a standard;
of consistent Christianity. Still, in ann
swer to our correspondents question,
the GLOBE assents to the proposi-f
ti0h that any individual who be-a
lieves that the sale and manufact-o:
ure of liquor is sin, and that.
the saloon business is an iniduity, could
not consistently have been anytliingl
else in the late campaign than Prohi-
bltlonist. We are not OF those who
think that way. Yet, that does not
deter us from giving frank answer to
our correspondents inquiry. We were
impressed during the late canvass with
the fact that there are a great many
hypocriteS in the Christian churches,
and what impressed us most particu-
larry with the fact was seeing so many
protested Christians who, in season and
out OF season, go around denouncing
the liquor traffic as the abomination of
denominations. then walked right up to
the polls and voted the Republican ticket
straight, swallowing the platform that
declared for free whisky without the
least indication that there had been a
stretch of conscience.

BLOOD-HOUNDS.
The Way to Capture Cut-Throats
Who Operate in the Mount


aims.
Nevada (Cal.) Herald.
The frequent murders committed in
this state have revived the subject of
using blOOd-hounds for the capture of
the murdererS. The roads leading
throughout the mountains afford safe
field for the operation of such fiends.
Under existing conditions man may
be murdered in open daylight, and. no
no matter how vigilant the officers, it is
next to impossible to hunt down the
perpetrators.
Once out of sight of the scene where
derer is safe, unless pure accident re-
veals his identity. But il each sheriff
of the different counties were empow-
cred by law OF demanded by custom to
keep a pack of bloodhoundS, escape
would be next to impossible. If it were
known that at every county seat there
were such animals, the diScoverer Of a
dead body in the highway would guard
the spot and keep all footsteps away
until the dogs arrived, SO that the sure
scent would be gained. Then the
officers would only have to follow the
hounds to catch the guilty party.
Blood-hOundS are said to be able to
follow the deer or other animal OF which
they are in pursuit through herd after
herd of the same animals, and they will
recognize its trail on the ground as long
as twelve or fourteen hours after the
creature has passed by, and if it is lost
on one day. and they are put upon its
fresh track the following morning they
willfoilow it as long as it runs on solid
ground. In pursuing they are so slow
that horse can always keep them in
sight, and in long chase an active pc
deStrian can keep them in hearing.
They can be trained to chase
slowly, if necessary. These dogs never
will follow the trail of the one they are
after, no matter now many other feet
marks cross it. Let it once be known
that bloodhOunds are within reaching
distance and highway murderers would
be exceedingly scarce. 1t would break
up the traffic, for such men would
know their detection was sure. They
have been objected to on the ground of
inhumanity. But these humani-
tarians seem to think only of
the murderers. and not of the in
nocent who are the subject of their
brutality. The owner of pack of
bloodhounds in county would be a
terror to evildoers. 1t would break up
the gangs of desperadoes that now
flourish. 1t would make life and prop
erty more safe. Incendiaries and burg
lars would soon quit operations if they
knew their trail would lead to their dis
covery. Bloodhounds would have re-
yeaIed the identity of the KneebOne
and Pratt murderers long before this.
They would save the counties needless
expense in the trial of innocent persons
who are sometimes arrested on suS-
picion. BlOodhoundS ought to be kept
in every mountain county.

Why Is TIP

1t was probably the natural thing for
our Republican friends to jubiIate over
the election as they did last night. We
dare say that our Democratic friends
would have done the same thing if the
shoe mad been on the other foot. And
yet when all the hurrah is expended
and fireworks are burnt out people will
sit down sOberly and wonder " hat it
was all about. anyway. Those who ex-
peet to get the postofiices will continue
i'll an eXultant strain, but the great
masses of the people will go back to saw
ing wood just as if nothing had hap
pened. The cry of "Protection and
prosperity is only cry, after all. For
Minnesota farmers it will mean just
what it has always meant-29-cent wool
and T5-eent wheat. For millionaire
manufacturers like Mr.. CARNEGIE it
will mean s1,500.o00 year profits, just
as it has been doing. while the number
of half-naked Hungarian women work
ing in Pennsylvania mines will probably
be doubled. And yet they call it
famous victory.

ALesson Worth Learning.

New York Sun (Dem)
Those who were so greatly surprised
by the result of the election in Brooklyn
may gain light by examining the neigh
bOrhooods where the Democratic losses
were greatest.
These neighborhocds are peopled with
skilled mechanics, who earn from SIS to
S21 a week working in factories of vari-
GUS sorts. They are an Intelligent lot
of men. Many of them read the techni-
cal papers devoted to the business of
their trades as we'll as the political
journals of the day. They do not need
the advice of campaign orators when
deciding how they shall vote. The edu-
catlonal campaign excited their con-
tempt. and they voted for what they be-
lieYed TO be the interests of their guilds.

because they undertook in a presidential

That was, to drill their recruits in the

which the Herald took the liberty, to
warn them a year ago, and for this
kindly warning we got only curses

1t is a pitifully thin story that the
Mugwumps tell, that Cleveland suffered
for his convictions. He had not any
convictions. He became president
when an intensely ignorant and
strangely inexperienced man, and had
not knowledge to base conviction
upon. The notion that he cared for re-
form or the reduction of taxation is
simply silly. He cared for nothing eA-

years at fifty thousand year.
