RIpDLEBERGER was "full'' Sunday, but
not "too full for utterance," for he kept
up his interruption of business until he
was removed by the seargent-at-arms.
At one time, after he had been out to
get drink, the Virginian informed the
presiding officer that he had just tele-
graphed to the governor OF Virginia his
resignation as senator, because he could
have no recognition from the presiding
officer. He was now awaiting an answer,
which would relieve him from the re-
sponsiDilities of his position. He had
found that a Republican senator from
Virginia could not be recognized by the
president of the senate pro tempore.
The latter officer insisted that Riddle
berger be squelched and he was led out
into cloak room. This fellow makes
a good clown, though rather dis
graceful one

iterate our belief aud confidence in the
benefit which Mr.. Sabin has been TO the
State as one of its great representatives.
He has faithfully discharged every duty,
and though he has probably not suited
his enemies, the vast majority OF the
people of the State are ready to account
him good public servant. II hls hon
orable successor succeeds in making as
good record he will certainly fulfil all
that could be expected. The ex-senator
returns to the State to take up his career
as business man, and the FREE Press
wishes that he may find full appreciation
and success in those departments to
which he is 80 well adapted.

Tn ia q rather hard comment mn

IT is a rather hard comment upon the
morality and dignity of the United
States that its highest legislative body
should upon Sabbath day be the scene
of such disgraceful episode as that in
which Rlddleberger figured Sunday.
1t might be good idea to disqualify
men who get drunk from serving in ,he
U. s. Senate, except that such a protis-
ion would, from all accounts, prevent
the assembling of quorum to confirm
the new presidents nominations.

ALREADY We hear Democratic editors
telling that the cabinet is one of compro-
misses. They point to Window and
Tracey as instances of this. A little in
vestigation will prove that there was no
compromise about these two appoint
ments at least. 1t is stated upon the
best of authority that the selection of
Mr.. Window was entirely of the Presi-
dents own doing, without the consulta-
'tion of anybody. Mr.. Harrison was
badly put out at Senator Alllson's decli-
nation, for he had thought the treasury
matter well and satisfactorily settled.
The story is that in his almost despera-
ton when the dispute seemed likely to
open again, the name of Window came
to him as happy thought, and without
consultation with Mr.. Blaine or any body
from Minnesota he sent Mr.. Window
the offer. This version of the matter is
held out by the announcement of both
Minnesota senators that they had not
been consulted on the subject. While
buCu pIOCcuuTc was tiihO uuuSudl uO
one can severely blame Gen. Harrison
for using his own free will in the mat
ter, especially as his selection was an
eminently popular one. The selection
of Gen. Tracey for the navy portfolio
seems to have been equally one of Mr..
Harrison's own selection, not with a
view to compromise but as reminder |
to impertinent ones that he was presi-
dent. For it is broadly limited that the

THE board of trade meeting Monday
was an interesting one, and we trust
the presence and talk of Mr.. Body and
Robinson had good effect Certainly
there is misapprehension in the minds
of any who may suppose that the bust
ness men of Mankato favor anything but
the highest wages possible and whatev-
er else is for the best interests of railway
employees. Our people know there is
no more respectable and desirable class
of citizens than the railway employees,
and they desire that they as we'll as all
other workingmen shall have good
wages and comfortable incomes. Atthe
same time it should be remembered that
our business men have for many years
been fighting the determinations of rail-
way companies, and now that they have
secured, after mon tbs of careful, vigllant
action, though against the protests of the
roads, such rates as they feel themselves
entitled to, and which put them upon
something like an equal footing with
other cities, 1t is not strange
that they are 10th to open
any loop hole by which return to the
old condition of things may be allowed.
1t is case of self preservation and if
the railway companies see fit not to ac-
cord Mankato the same rights as they
do other places, though they may be
larger and more influential, our business
men cannot be greatly criticised if they
refuse to grant the roads those consid-
erations which strict construction of
justice might dictate. If railway COM
panies dislike the regulations and re-
striction which they think SO unjust
they should be careful that they treat
everybody with the same degree of con-
sideration and equality they demand
for themselves. 1t is because thev have
not and do not do this that the public
is beginning to bring down on them the
iron heel OF the law.
