other little treasures. Fathers are sell

The Globe-D Democrat has continually
since the last election falsely stated
that Mr.. Harrison was elected by the
people, that his election was a verdict
of the people, in favor of protection,
etc. Driven TO the wall on this
palpable untruth 1t seeks to hedge by
asserting that democrats claim that Mr..
Cleveland had q popular majority
They claim nc such thing and the
Globe Democrat knows 1t. They
simply maintain that Mr.. Cleveland
had q popular majority over Mr..
Harrison, and, as the labor and
prohibition parties took more advanc.
ed position against protection than did
the democratic party, they also main.
tain that Mr.. Cleveland's tariff reform
views had an immense popular
majority over all. The Globe emocra,
will have to gnaw the file. 1t may
hurt its teeth, but IL can't be helped
It's man Harrison is not only a terrible
descent from q statesman like Grover
Cleveland, but he got where he IL
without the consent OF the people a
the polls. And If Intelligence were
measured in the casting Of the bsllotl

Herman Ledger: ''GOv. Francis
has appointed Lee Merriwether, of St.
Louis, labor commissioner, and the
appointment was promptly confirmed
by the senate. If we remember Alright,
MIR. Merriwether a few years ago made
a trip to several countries III Europe
and visited the labOrers of many
manufactures at their homes. looked
through the work. shops, and foundries
and mines, and wrote up his travels
and observations in a series of very
entertaining and instructive papers
for the then St. Louis Republican,
which were widely read and as widely
complimented. We think the governor
has made a most excellent selection in
this case and in all the important
appointments he has made. We shall
now expect in a report from the labor
bureau q very readable and able
paper" Mr.. Merriwether has, in
addition to what is mentioned above,
written some excellent books and mag
azine articles OH the labor problems of
the day, and comes to his task more
fully equipped for it, probably, than
could any other man in Missouri.
Soon after his return from a trip to
Europe in which he tramped in order
to get right among the work people,
he delivered a lecture upon labor in
the east which was very widely read
aud commented upon. So much so
that Hon. Carroll d. Wright called
him TO a responsible position In the
national labor bureau. Mr.. Merri'
wether gave up in that service, volun-
tarily. a place IN which he was receiv.
