and tempt the men who operate practi
cal politics. Then. if they are not dis
franehised, they could easily secure ae-
ceSsiOnS from Utah sufficient to give
them the majority in the state. In the
case to be heard in the highest court
man named DAVIS retired from the
Mormon church last fall, took the test
oath and voted. This year he has been
recOnverted and restored to the church.
This subjected him TO the charge of vi
oIating the oath, and he was arrested,
tried and fined $500 in the United States
district court. He refused to pay the fine
aid was sent to Jail. What property
he had. being taken and sold out, was in
sufficient to pay the fine. A writ OF ha-
beas corpus was denied. Mr.. DAVIS
is still in Jail, and the issue presented
to the United States supreme court will
determine whether the disfranchise-
ment of all adherents to the Mormon
church, whether personally pOlygamIstS
or not, is constitutional. If the test
oath is sustained, it will. of course, be
applied to Utah and all other sections
where there is a Mormon population.
1t would settle the Mormon question, APP
parently, so far as it was barrier to
statehood. But whether the remedy
would not be more perilous than the
disease is question for serious con-
sideration, aside from any regard to the
opinion the supreme court may reach.
The application for statehood from
Idaho will hardly be acted upon IN con-
gress until the court determines this

IDaHO'S CLAIM.

Less is perhaps generally known of
idaho than Of most of the territories
still out of the family of states. 1t is
likely to be much better advertised in
the future. The senate irrigation COM
mittee spent some time there, and will
no doubt report in favor Of government
aid to the needed irrigation. One Of
the senators is credited with the state
ment that it has more agricultural
lands than all the other territories,
which is difficult to credit. Idaho has
prepared a state constitution and is
about ready to ask for admission. as a
result, as claimed, of encouragement
from Washington. We're it not for the
prevalent mood to get rid of the terri
tories by making them states, there
might be criticism OF the immaturity
and numerical paucity Of Idaho as a
state, but it has Of late voted
with the party in power and is
counted as reliably set in that direction.
Yet the politics Of community ought
to have no bearing spon a matter of so
enduring a character as statehood. One
is casual and temporary, and the other
perpetual. The special embarrassment
in the case of Idaho is the Mormon ele-
ment. This comprises about oue-fourth
Of the population. To relieve this OBJ
stacle the convention has put into its
constitution the most radical anti-Mor-
mon section that could be devised. 4
d0ubly ir0n-elad test oath is provided,
which will diSfranchise all connected
with the Mormon church. Ii will pre-

barred from holding Office or voting. al

SHAM REFORM,

Some of the Republican orators and
papers insist that they mean tariff re
ductiOn much as the Democrats demand
it. only they want the reforming done
by the friends of protection. Perhaps
they give intimation of their purposes
in the senate bill prepared last year.
1t may be presumed that this will form
the basis of their legislation this winter.
A comparison of its provisions has been
made by the New York Reform club
with the present figures and those of
the MILLS bill. An examination of the
clauses shows that. while in some in
stances the MILLS reduction was fol-
lowed. as a whole the senate measure
would add to the surplus and increase
the burdens of protection. A great num-
Der of instances might be adduced.
All leather manufactures now pay 80
per cent. and the Mills bill retained
those figures. but the Republican bill
raises it to 81. Hats are raised from so
to so per cent. and some kinds of wool
ems from 60 and so to 80 and 250per cent.
This is the sort of reduction to be eX-
peeted from the friends of protection.

MRS. LoGAN's VICTORY.

One of the most effective workers for
Chicago as the place for the worlds
fair is Mrs. JOHN A. LOGAN. The
leading New Hampshire Democratic
paper mentions that she has captured
the somewhat erratic Senator BLAIR, of
that state, as a result of his recent visit
to the Lake city. She seems to have
captured the New Hampshire paper
also. for it says it lis the most sensible
position he has taken upOh any public
question since lie became senator" 1t
even asserts that "the hotel accommO-
datiOns and water supply of New York
are far behind what Chicago offers" 1t
would not be bad idea for Chicago to
get up an excursion of New England
congressman TO that city and allow Mrs.
LOGAN TO have chance at them. New
England is more interested in the West
generally than il is in New York.

INCREasETREP POLICE FORCE

For some time past Chief CLARK has
been endeavoring to convince the city
authorities of the necessity of increas-
ing the police force, and in an interview
in Yesterdays GLOBE he presented
some facts and figures which furnish
good argument in support Of the chief S
demand for an increase in his force.
The most prominent fact is that there is
no other city in the country OF the same
area and population with so small a
force, or one where the expenses of the
police department are SO light as here
in st. Paul. 1t seems almost ridiculous
that a city including tifty-five square
miles of territory. and with p0pnla-
ton exceeding 200,090, should depend
for the preservation Of the life and
property OF its citizens on a police de-
partment which numbers only Ia men
for active police duty. It is true that
the peace of the city has been main
tanned under every condition, and the
police service has been as efficient on
an average as can be found in any
other city, and there are those who
use these facts as an argument
the demand for an increase in the force.
1t must be borne in mind, however, that
the efficiency Of the police service in
the past has been due largely to that
superb discipline which Chief CLARK
has established, as well as to fOrtuit0us
circumstances which enabled the chief
to handle his little body of patrOlmen TO
the best advantage. Then. too. the men
themselves have performed eXtraOrdl-
nary service. more than the public had
right to require of them, and more
than they can keep up for any length of
time. There is limit to human en-
durance, and it has about reached that
point in the police service of this city
when the men who perform patrol duty
must have shorter hours and shorter
beats. or the service will degenerate.
Then, too. there are comparatively I'M
protected portions of the city which are
entitled TO the fullest police protec ton.
The chief cannot, nor is he expected, to
lessen his force in the business districts
and the more thickly settled resident
portions of the city,yet he cannot furnish
patrolmen for the unprotected territory
without diminishing his force in the
heart of the city. How is the matter to
be remedied, then. unless the force is
increased? Chief CLARE is known to be
a conservative man, who is not given to
exaggeratiOn. He has studied the stu
alton carefully, and he knows better
than, pehaps, any one else knows. the
exact requirements of the police serv-
ice. The city council has false idea
of economy if it supposes that it will be
a saving to the city TO expose the lives
ard property of our citizens just for the
sake of keeping down the expenses of
the police department. 1t is worse than
parsimony, 1t is inhnman, to require
100 men to perform service which
ought to be performed by double that
number; and then there is the per
petual menace of riot or an outbreak
of some sort, by which the city may
lose millions of dollars, simply because
of its niggardly policy in refusing to
provide an ample police corps.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 2S.-Mayor
Davenport slapped Congressman Tars-
ney full in the face this afternoon, and
in return very nearly received shot
from the congressman's revolver. 1t
was all on account of the entertain
ment of the Pan-American tourists. who
will arrive here next Wednesday MORN
ing. A meeting was held at the Com
mercial club this afternoon to perfect
arrangements for the entertainment of
the distinguished visitors. The mayor
had vetoed an ordinance passed by
the city council apprOpriating ST.
900 to be expended for entertaining
the guests. The council OVERRIDE the
veto and then the mayor ordered the
treasurer not TO recognize drafts upon
the treasury for that purpose. During
the discussion this afternoon Congress
mau Tarsney referred in terms not very
complimentary to the mayors action.
Davenport started to leave the room,
and on doing SO said:
IF can help 1t. not penny of the city's
money shall be used Illegally, but will con-
tribute from my own pocket as much as Mr..
Tarsney or any other man for the entertain
meht of the delegates"
Mr.. TarSney replied: II do not care to re-
sort TO pot-house methods"
This enragtd Mr.. Davenport, and in
an angry tone he defied the congressman
to repeat the statement. Mr.. Tarsney
repeated 1t. The words were no sooner
out of his mouth than the mayor dealt
him resOunding slap full in the face.
Mr.. Tarsney reached into his hip pocket
10 draw his revolver. but his friends
prevented him from using it.

DELVED AT DULUTH,
First Election Under the Austria
liam SYSTEM


liam System.
DULUTH, Oct. 2S.-The first election
under the new Australian law" occurs
in Duluth tomorrow. and though excit-
ing, but little interest will serve as
test of the act from which so much good
is expected. Whether the city authori-
ties have grasped the full meaning Of
the law or not remains, OF course, to be
demonstrated. but they have made an
earnest effort in that direction. Voting
btioths each 20x16 feet have been placed
ateach polling precinct. Each Enclosure
contains eight booths. so that just that
number of voters, and no more, can be
admitted at one time, the officer admit
ting one as fast as each man has
deposited his ballot and retired.
All ballots before counted must show
that they have been properly counter
signed by the judge VINO gave them to
the others before entering the booth.
The voting booths are all held together
by hooks. SO that they may be rapidly
taken apart and put away for further
use. Building Inspector Stanley drew
up the plan after consultation with the
city attorney. Whether it will meet all
requirements or not of course remains
to be demonstrated, but as it is simple
ity itself ana assures absolute secrecy,
it is difficult to see how the plan can be
improved upon.
While playing at the crossing of Sixth
avenue west and Superior street this
afternoon, the four ear-old son of
Harry Brown was run over and killed
by heavily loaded wagon. The driver
was walking beside the wagon and did
not see the little fellow on the other
side.

NOT BIDDING FOR VOTES.
Judge Gary Does Not Recognize
the German Language.


CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-In the appellate
court this morning a decree of the cir
cult court Diminishing a bill for an in
junction filed by William Mccoy to re-
strain the city council from publishing
in the Freie PresSe the city ADVERTISE
ments was reversed and the case was
remanded, with instructions that the
injunction be made perpetual. The
opinion was by Judge Gary, and effect
ually disposes of the right of the coun-
Gil to expend the city's money for adj
vertising i'll the German language. Over
a year ago the council passed an order
providing that contract be made with
the German-American Publishing COM
pany for the publication in the Freie
Presse of all the city advertisements.
William Mccoy, a taxpayer, supposed to
be acting for the Stats Zeitung, filed q
bill for an injunction on the grounds
that the council had no authority by
statute to SO use the city's money. The
arguments were heard in the circuit
court AMI the bill was dismissed, the
court holding that under the charter Of
1868, and by virtue of the general pow
erS conferred on the council by the act
Of the legislature of 1872, the council
had the right to so advertise in German.
Mccoy appealed. and Justice Gary holds
that the circuit court was in error. In
the charter of 1868 was provision that
the city might so advertise, and by the
act of March 9, 1861, 1t was distinctly
provided that all such notices and adj
refreshments be inserted in the news
paper printed in the German language
having the largest circulation in the
city," The general city Incorporation
act of 1872 repealed all the charter pro-
visions of 1868. and thus also repealed
the authority for publication of adver-
tisementS in the German language.
Judge Gary is the judge who presided at
the trial of the anarchists.

EORAKER'- DIET.

1t is next to impossible TO have polit
ical campaign in Ohio without a good
deal of dirt being mixed up in it. This
time Gov. FORAKER took the initiative
in dirt fiinging, but did it SO awkardly
that he despatched himself worse than
he did his competitor. He undertook
to show that Gel. CAMPBELL was in
some way connected with the baliOt-bOX
frauds in Cincinnati, but before he got
fairly started into the job of boring
hole into CAMPBELL'S character his
auger broke. The man whom FORAKER
selected as his tool in this business
turned out to be as much fool as knaye,
and. consequently, the whole affair was
spoiled. This man TOPP. who had been
a student in For AKER's law Office, and
afterwards one Of his appointees on the
Cincinnati board of public affairs, was
afflicted with that species of insanity, so
common among Republican politicians,
known as letter writing. He wrote let
tiers which were not burned, and one of
these has turned up TO plague FORAKER
at most incOnvenient time. The letter

Commissioner TOPP and Il Cincinnati
contractor. by which the former was to
get big rebate, or drawback, on all the
stuff that the contractor furnished to
the city. The best explanation that
Commissioner TOPP could offer was
that he sometimes suffered from men
tai alteration, and he must have been
in unsound mind when he wrote that
letter. This was satisfactory to For
AKER, who permitted him to resign
without further investigation. 1t, how
ever, knocked the props from under the
job that FORAKER had set up on CAMP
BELL, and now the Buckeye Republi-
cans are in a dilemma TO know when
or how to resume the dirt-finging bust
