1t often happens that the writer who
knows the least about his subject gets
the biggest pay for his pen work. That
is probably the reason why MAX
O'RELL has made such pecuniary hit
with his book on America. The sale is
reported to be enormous, and yet prob
ably no book was ever published con-
tanning less valuable Information. The
secret of its popularity is that, instead
of following the beaten path trod by all
other foreigners who have written on
America. he branches off into the field
of gossip. Instead of writing learn
edly about our institutions, he talks
of the people whose names are
most familiar to us. He writes about
our rich men, our politicians. our liter
att. our actors. mentioning them all by
name, and interspersing his comment
and criticism with spicy "reminiscences
and things of goSslpy nature. 1t is
true that the information the author inn
parts is yalueleSS, because it is unre-
liable. The things that he says about
our millionaires, our actors and other
people whom he discusses have been
gathered at random, or possibly spring
from the fertile Imagination of the
author. MAX 0RELI. stayed with Us
long enough TO find out what kind Of
literature the American people are
fond of, and then made up his mind
to please them. He went home
and wrote such book as the Americans
are fond of reading. and has his reward

the electoral vote, it would not do the
party any good. No result would be
effective. In view of the almost sue
cessful effort of Republican congress
to bring it in as state when they
thought it would vote that way, it does
not become them to throw dirt at the
Democrats for putting it in their omni-
bus. But if New Mexico is any clog or
obstacle to the admission of the four
other states conceded to be qualified
and inclined to the Republican party,
it should be quietly dropped out. 1t is
a good time for the Democrats to set an
example of magnanimity and high
toned public policy. They have struck

d loss of population in Stearns county In
five years of 7I2 From 1880 to 1888 the
county gained nearly 1000, but from 1883
to 1890 the Globe calculates we will lose
700. AS matter of fact, st. Cloud alone
has increased about 4, 900 since the last Gen.
sus, and the county has to-day 30, 900 in
habitants instead of $4,000 as given.-St.
Cloud Times.
From the best information attainabie, the
Free Press is lead to express the opinion that
no reapportionment will be made at this ses-
sion of the legislature. While there is no
question but injustice will be done to the
Fifth district by failure to take action on
this matter it is believed by many members
of the legislature that two years hence the
work would have to be all done over again,
and that it would be better to let the matter
rest until the caucus is taken. .-Mankato Free

appointment for warden of the state peni-

"a life for life'' is the Mosaic law. 1t Is
only necessary to institute comparison
between the criminal records Of those COM
munities in which capital punishment is in
force and those in which it does not exist in
order to demonstrate the utter necessity OF
the law. There is no reason to believe that
the abrogation Of the law in Minnesota
would be productive of any better results in
this state than in others. Reform i'll this di-
rection is certainly not warranted or desira-

THE NEW SOCIAL FACTOR.

The announcement made by the Trnnk
Line association railways running into
New York that all dogs intended for the
great annual show in Madison square
will be carried free moves the New York
Herald to remark: 'sIt is coming to be
recognized that the dog is a powerful
factor in society,"" 1t may be remarked
parenthetically that the tramp and the
lover who fingers at the back gate long
ago cane to the same wise conclusion.
But seriously.it is an omen of improved
social conditions to see the interest now
manifested by human beings in the
four footed creation. A manifestation
of love for animals is an unerring indi-
cation of good heart and benevolent
disposition. The man who loves his
dog or his horse. and is uni
formly kind in his treatment of
dumb brutes, usually enjoys the
confidence of his fellows. He is in
stinctively looked upon as a person who
can be tied to in emergencies. Unfort-
unately, in the rush and whirl OF this
materialistic age the American people
have neglected to cultivate the finer
feelings of their nature. In the race for
wealth they have learned to despise the
little things of life which portray the
better instincts of humanity. 1t is.
therefore, all the more gratifying to
observe these indications of the purpose
of society to get back to primal condi-
tions, even though it is manifested in so
small way as the enjoyment of a dog
show

ELECTORAL REFORM.

The New York legislatures consider
ing bill On the line suggested by Gov.
HILL in regard to electoral reform.
This requires the publication within ten
days after the election of a statement by
the candidates and committees of all
moneys contributed or spent, Or debts
incurred, in the campaign. The parties
elected cannot enter upon the duties OF
the offices until this sta tement has been
filed. and fine OF 81, 900 may be found
by the obstinate. This is generally ap-
proved by the friends of reform, and it is
insisted also that the legislature shall
define the legitimate uses Of money in a
campaign. as is done by the English
statutes in the election of members of
parliament. This was urged in DR..
SMITHS address last Sunday as an es-
pecial duty devolving upon the legiSla-
ture of this state. 1t may inaugurate an
era when men not milliOnaires can be
elected to high offices in this state.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Feb. 6.-The large number
of meetings held throughout England to
protest against the brutality of Mr..
O'Brien's treatment in Clonmel jail, and
the remarkable enthusiasm attending
them, have induced the Conservatives
to organize counter meetings to combat
the drift of public opinion opposing the
Irish policy of Mr.. BalfOur. At these
meetings resolutions have been passed
declaring that the spectacle pre-
sented by the efforts of Mr.. O'Brien
to defy the prison authorities meets
with the contempt which such historical
proceedings deserve. The meetings
are not so largely attended as were the
Liberal gatherings of protest, nor is
there much enthusiasm. 1t is asserted
that several cabinet ministers, among
them Lord KnutsfOrd, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach and Charles L. Ritchle,
are raising up their voices in the coun-
ellis against BalfouriSm, and in this
movement they are assisted by larger
following outside of official circles.
Upon this statement is based the belief
that one of the amendments to the ad-
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne Oh the occasion OF the re-
assembling of parliament. relating
to Irish affairs, will pray for her maj
esty to dismiss Mr.. Balfour from the
ministerial councils. A meeting of pro-
test against the cruel treatment of MIR.
O'Brien was held by the National Lib
eral club this afternoon. There was all
enormous attendance, the large hall be-
ing packed almost to suffocation. Lib
joo an cfc of n
try were present Mr.. Mundella and
other speakers violently denounced
the course Of the government i'll
Ireland, and the cheers and approba-
tion which greeted the utterances indi-
Gated Enthusiastically the depth of the
indignation which the high-handed pro-
ceedings of Mr.. Balfour have aroused.
Leading Unionists now ADMIT that If a
general election we're to take place to-
morrow, the Conservatives would be
completely routed.

WINDOW OR PORTER.

WILLIAM WINDOW and eX-Gov. P0R-
TER seem to be almost neck and neck
in the race for the treasury sweep
stakes, with the well developed nose OF
the Minnesota statesman just trifle in
the lead. The coterie of politicians and
reporters headquartering at Indianap-
oils, and assisting Secretary HALFoRD
in constructing the HARRISON cabinet,
lean to the belief that Mr.. WINDOW will
draw the prize. When the opinion OF
HALBoRD is thrown into the same scale
pan, the beam gives very perceptible
tilt in the direction of Minnesota. 1t
appears that JOHN G. New is personally
not anxious to enter the cabinet. and
that Indiana sentiment is crystallizIng
on ex-Gov. PORTER. The latter will
prove dangerous competitor to WIN
DOM. as there are political reasons
for conciliating him. He is the
idol Of Indiana labor circles, and
it was by their advice that he de-
clined the gubernatorial nomination in
the HARRISON campaign. 1t undoubt-
edIy was the loss of the labor vote that
cost HARRISON his home county, and
the memory of the fact will be a firm
friend to Gov. PORTER now. Indiana
is far enough West to pass muster, i'll
the East, at least. as Western state;
and Mr.. WINDOW. if he wins, will win
against heavy odds. Our Indianapolis
correspondent. with tip from HAL
FORD, is now backing WINDOW, and
finds him leading at the quarter pole.
