WYOMING'S CLAIM.

Wyoming promises to be in the next
state omnibus made, and is hopeful that
its disposition to vote the Republican
ticket will commend it to the next
congress. The late governor was as UNI
fortunate as the one in Dakota in get
ting athwart the march of sentiment, as
he opposed statehood. He aided in
turning the territory against the Demo-
Gratis. The new executive is working
vigorously on the other tack. In late
address he states that there are but
seven states that have larger area
than Wyoming, and that the present
population is more than double that of
Ohio, Illinois and good many other
states when admitted. 1t has very large
resources of oil, iron and coal, and
claims to have smaller per cent of
illiterates than even Dakota, with all
the accessories of civilization and re-
finement. But these will count little
unless it can show that it wants to vote
the Republican ticket. This is the
essential qualification.

A HORSE AMBULANCE.

Secretary HUTcHINs calls attention to
the need in this city of horse ambu-
lance, such as they have in other cities,
for the conveyance of sick and crippled
animals when it is necessary to remove
them from the streets or to and from the
veterinary barns. 1t is hardly worth
while to argue with the city council on
this proposition when that body fails to
provide hospital ambulance to carry
sick and crippled humanity to the city
hospitals, but depends on the service of
numbering patrol wagon. The in
stinct of humanity is probably strong
enough in the community to cause Mr..
HUTcHINs' suggestion to be appreciated,
and as the horse ambulance will have to
be provided by individual effort, the
GLOBE commends the scheme of start
ing subscription for the purpose.

THE NARROW MARGIN.

The New York Herald regards it as
quite certain that the president will call
special session of congress by the
middle of October. An earlier date
would not do, as the new states could
not be ready with their new congress
men, who are expected to swell the Re-
publican majority. AS the list now
stands the Republicans have but 1854
members, but one more than quorum.
The four new states will elect five
members, and the Republicans are hope
full of getting them all. For quorum
166 will then be requisite, and if the Re-
publicans elect all the five, which is i'm
probable, they will have but three more
than quorum. 1t is rare that full at
tendance can be secured, and so small
margin is apt to be troublesome in party
exigencies. Consequently, there is inn
patience to seat Republicans in the con-
tested seats, as we'll as to have the pat
ronage possessed by Republicans. Only
party interests are to be subserved by
calling a session in October.

SENATOR BARNUM's DEATH.

The death of ex-senator BARNUM is
in no sense national calamity, nor an
irreparable party loss: yet he had been
conspicuous figure i'll national affairs,
and a recognized leader of the national
Democracy. He was a man of I'M
questioned ability, and of great execu-
tive force, and it was because of these
qualities he had been entrusted with
the management of the Democratic
campaigns for the last twelve years.
Fidelity to his party organization was
also characteristic trait. He was
prominently identified with manufacture
ing interests, and it was thought at the
opening of the last campaign it would
not be safe to entrust the fortunes of
the Democratic party to his hands.
But President CLEVELAND paid trib-
ute to MI. BARNUM's honesty and
fidelity by insisting that he should re-
main at the head of the Democratic
organization; and the fact that he car
ried his own state, Connecticut, for
CLEVELAND and THURMAN verified the
presidents confidence in the man. It
is important that the Democrats shall
find man possessed of the same ster-
ling qualities to take Senator BAR
NUNS place.

A FOOLISH LAW.

The new state law making it mis-
demeanor for newspaper to publish
anything about the execution of muir
derer, save the mere announcement that
such an execution occurred, is the sub
ject of a great deal of harsh criticism
from all sections of the country. 1t is
regarded as an unwarranted and I'M
justifable attempt OH the part OF the
lawmakers to restrict the freedom of
the press, and is so antagonistic to the
underlying principle of constitutional
government that the great body of the
American people are wondering how in
the world it happened that the people
of Minnesota managed to elect to their
Legislature so many members who were
imbued with the principles of mon
archy.
The law is not justified upon the
grounds of morality or public policy, be-
cause the main argument in favor of
capital punishment is its deterrent
quality; and thus. the more publicity
that is given to an execution, the more
apt it is to have healthy deterrent
effect upon the criminal classes. So far
as the moral effect of capital punish
ment under the operations Of this new
law is concerned, it would be just as
well to strangle the convicted murderer
in his cell within an hour after he was
sentenced, or to give him an overdose of
morphine.
But to get back to first principles,
hot nj u ha ciat, n cfot
lish press censorship? From whence
does the legislature derive its authority
to edit the newspapers of the state? The
business of a newspaper is to print the
news. fact long and well known to the
courts and to the people. The hanging
of criminal is legitimate news, and if
the people of community want to learn
the details of the execution, it is the
business of the newspapers to supply
them with the information. The men,
berS of the legislature have as much
right, or more, to say that they shall
not publish the proceedings of their
body, as to say that they shall not give
the details of any other matter
of public interest Ii the legis-
lature has the right to establish
a press censorship in one direc-
ton, it has i'll all, and it is a wonder
how a body of intelligent men could
have stultified themselves so awfully
by attempting to exercise power that
kings and emperors tremble to AFRO
gate.
The New York legislature once made
such fool of itself by passing similar
law, but it was dead letter. The day
following the first execution under the
law the New York papers gave their
readers the fullest and best possible
story of the unique and interesting
event. American liberty is not to be
trifed with.

Will Attack the Budget.

LONDON, May 1.-Mr. Gladstone will
attack the budget in the house of COM
mons tomorrow evening, and there
will, of course. be a large crowd in at
tendance to hear him. The Unionists
are sadly divided in their opinions as
to the propriety of disposing of the
sugar bill. Lord Harrington will
probably oppose it, and. if he
does, may possibly carry few
of the Unionists now favorable
to the measure with him. The support
ers of the sugar convention, from Baron
de Worms down, are alarmed at the
detection in the Unionist ranks. and
are sending speakers into the provinces
to agitate in favor of the bill, hoping to
compel such an expression of prefer
ence from the constituents of certain
UniOnist members as will cause them
to change front. The Liberals are or
ganizing counter agitation, with a
prospect of good results.

A DAKOTA POINT.

1t is surprising that editors as versa
tile in mathematics and election prob
lens as those in Dakota generally should
find any difficulty in understanding the
practical operation OF the minor
ity clause in the election Of dele
gates to the constitutional convention.
Two of the daily papers of most recent
issue in the North seem unable to grasp
the situation. The trouble with them
is that they assume that there is some
thing complicated and difficult in the
matter, while it is as plain and simple
as the early part of the arithmetic. One
confuSeS it with the Illinois cumulative
system, and says that in district with
1000 Republicans, 600 Democrats and
400 Prohibitionists, each of the latter
two running one man, the Republicans
one of the three to be elected. The
Republicans would elect two with 1000
votes to each, and the Democrats the third
man with 900 votes. Every voter can
give one vote each to two men, but can
not give two or three votes to one man.
as in Illinois. The other paper referred
to says that even the lawyers of its
town don't understand the thing, and
assumes that some one is to be elected
with fewer votes than a candidate not
elected. The law has nothing to do
with parties or minorities. The three
men having the largest vote will be
elected. They may be all Republicans,
or all Democrats, OF all Alliance men or
PrOhibitionists. The only difference
from the ordinary voting is that. while
there are three men to be elected, the
voter can put but two names on his ballot.
If the Republicans have 1000 votes and
the Democrats or any other party 900,
the Republicans will elect two men and
the minority party one man. The latter
can vote for two men Also but can elect
only one of them. The most popular
man Of the two would be apt to have
few votes more than his associate, and
be elected.

UNIQUE ENTERPRISE.

That was peculiarly unique piece of
reportorial work done by the Chicago
Times in having one of its reporters
committed to the Cook county insane
asylum as patient, in order to investi-
gate the inner workings of that institu-
ton; but it proved eminently success
full. The reporter was confined in the
asylum nine days; and as a result of
what he learned while there, the grand
jury have just returned an Indictment
against three of the brutal attendants
for murder, and the superintendent is
to be arraigned on a charge of be-
ing an accessory after the fact.
In addition to being remarkable ex-
hibition of newspaper enterprise, the
incident serves to illustrate how utterly
impossible it is for the people to know
the truth about the management of
these public institutions where they
have to depend for information upon
the reports of the officers in charge.
Nor are the sources much more reliable
when information is obtained through
the ordinary official investig ations. The
people OF Cook county were happy in

KING MALIETOA.
The Samoan Conference Notified
of His Liberation.

BERLIN, May 1t is stated that the
liberation of Malietoa, the deposed king
of Samoa, has been voluntarily an
nounced to the Samoan conference. 1t is
supposed that this action on the
part of Germany is the prelude to the
reinstatement of Malietoa. A subcOm-
mittee Of the Samoan conference, con-
sisting of Delegates Kranel, Bates and
Scott. has prepared report on the land
question in Samoa. 1t is stated that a
subcommittee of the Samoan confer
ence has under consideration plan for
the future government of Samoa under
a native ruler. with a tribunal to adju-
dictate the question of land tenure. 1t is
considered probable the conference will
decide to appoint triumvirate which
will act as counsel to the native sover-
eign and have general supervision
over Samoan affairs. The Berlin cor
respondent of the London Times, refer
ring to the Samoan conference, says
that, while England's attitude is not en-
tirely clear, there is nothing to show
that the British government leans to-
ward Germany.
