A PITIFUL APPEAL.

It sounds little strange to hear the
Chicago Tribune suggest that the in
vestigation of the CRoNIN murder will
have to cease because the fund is ex-
hausted. Voluntary contributions are
solicited to enable the authorities to
continue the investigation, and the idea
is held out that unless these contribu-
tions are forthcoming the murderers
will be permitted to escape, ard the
crime go unaveuged.
We had an impression that the mur-
der occurred within the limits of the
state of Illinois. We were also of the
impression that there was a /. criminal
code in operation in that state, and that
ample provision was made for the ar
rest and punishment of the offenders
against the state laws. If we are cor
rect in these impressions, we fail to see
the necessity for private fund to carry
on the investigation in the CRoNIN
case. If the Illinois state authorities
haven't the grit to prosecute the case,
let them say so, and we will send Judge
EGAN down to help them out. Or, if
there isn't money enough in the Illinois
state treasury to pay the expense of an
investigation, then let the fact be an
nounced. and st. Paul will foot the
bills. But if the people of Illinois have
any pride in their state, and any conf
dence in their state government, then.
In the name of heaven, stop this beg

A CONCERT PAVILION.

TO the Editor OF the Globe.
Twas forcibly impressed with your editorial
suggestion in to-day's GLOBE in relation to
the establishment of June musical festivals
as permanent feature Of our summer at
fractions. Independent of the pleasure to be
derived from these festivals aud their educa-
tional advantages. they will really be bigger
advertisement for the Northwest than the
ice carnivals were. June is better month
than January to exhibit the beauties of our
Minnesota climate and scenery. Whoop 1t
up, Mr.. Editor CITIZEN.
ST. Paul, June "a
The above is from a gentleman we'll
known in the banking circles of our
city. and one who has shown a readi-
ness to assist in promoting public enter
prises. Encouraged by his Endorsement
of our suggestion, we proceed to further
advocate the scheme to inaugurate June
festivals in the Twin Cities as per-
manent summer attraction. A musical
festival association can be organized
just as the carnival association was, and
we are confident can be made even more
successful than was that unique, yet
praiseWorthy enterprise. In this con-
nection we would suggest the building
of concert pavilion here in st. Paul.
The proposition to erect an auditorium
building fell through because of the
cOstlinesS OF the structure and the i'm
probability of ever getting return on
the money invested. A concert pavilion
can be built for one-tenth the cost of an
auditorium, and will be source Of
profit to the owners from the beginning.

ENGLAND'S DANGER.

The general impression that England
had such an armament that its suprem-
acy upon the seas could hardly be chal-
lenged is rudely assailed by the state
ment of Rear Admiral SCOTT that its
naval equipment is inferior, and in fact
nearly worthless. He insists that the
practical tests at Alexandria were con-.
vincing that the English system of gun
construction is unsound, but this is not
likely to be realized until the disastrous
fact is developed in great war. The
immense guns, he thinks, will not sur
vive few full charges, and all those
over twenty tons will be found practi-
cally worthless. This is not calculated
to produce c0mplacency in the English
mind, in view of the magnificent arma-
ment Russia is preparing on the Black
sea. IT England should fail to hold it's
position as the great naval power, a
good deal of surprising history might be
made without exciting enthusiasm with
English historians.

ONLY WAITING.

Two historic characters lie at deaths
door-ene woman. the other man.
Yet both Of them have figured con-
spicuously in American history; and,
while neither has been prominently
before the country within recent years,
still, the death of either will be felt as a
personal loss by the entire American
people. A single illustration of Mrs.
HAYES positive nature and strength of
character was furnished during her oc-
eupancy OF the White house, when the
president was SO frequently spoken of
as her husband. Under our constitu-
ton the president is the ruler of the
nation; yet, by universal consent, she
was awarded the honor of being the
ruler of the president. Nor did this
allusion to her supremacy ever convey
the idea that she was vixenish. or even
too self-assertive. 1t was simply tes-
timony to her superior intellectual
strength, and to the queenly qualities
of the woman.
In the days Of his active political
career SIMON CAMERON exhibited a
force of character that but few Ameri-
can statesmen have possessed. He was
constituted for rulership, and he knew
it. No Highland chief ever welded
more autocratic sway over his clan
than did SIMON CAMERON over the Re-
publican party of Pennsylvania. And,
true to the instincts of his imperlous
nature, when he resigned political
power he named his own son as his sue
cusSor.
But the life work of these two historic
figures is done. Mrs. HAYES is stricken
with paralysis, Gen. CAMERON has
succumbed beneath the weight of near
Iy century of years, and together they
are waiting until the shadows are a
little longer grown to take their final
departure.

MERRIAM PARK EXTENSION

The GLOBE regrets that more rapid
progress is not being made in the effort
to secure the bonus that is necessary to
assure the extension of the Selby ave-
nue. cable line to Merriam Park. In
view of the fact that the contract pro-
vides that only one fare shall be paid
over both lines. it does seem to US that
every one interested in the extension of
this line should contribute as gener-
Ously as his means will allow. The
GLOBE has advocated, and still advo-
Gates, the organization of rival COM
panieS, but in this particular instance
persons along the line of the proposed
improvement would be more benefited
by having the line owned and operated
by the present street railway company.
because they can probably build
it cheaper than any one else,
and to the patrons of the line
who wish to come down into
the city there would be saving of one
fare. We express the hope that all
those interested in the construction of
this line will see that it is TO the inter-
est of the city III general, and to their
individual interest in particular, to
come forward promptly and aid to the
extent of their ability in the cOnStruc-
ton of this line.
In this connection the GLOBE takes
the liberty to suggest that this is pro-
pitiouS time for our real estate men to in
augurate concerted movement for the
building of cable and electric motor
lines to all our suburban and interur-
ban districts. If they cannot make sat
isfactory terms with Mr.. LowRY's COM
pany, let them open the way for other
companies that are ready and willing
to put their money into these improve
ments. BY pursuing this course we can
soon have real estate boom that will
count for something.

PKoHIBIMoN QUARTETTE.

There are now but four states in
which general prohibitory enactments
are sustained. These are Vermont and
Maine in the East and Kansas and Iowa
in the West. In some. others there is
local option by counties or municipali-
ties. The two New England states will
probably defy the popular deluge, even
if the sap all oozes out of the prohibitOry
tree and its vitality departs. Since the
numerous voting on the subject of late
has shown that the great majority be-
Heve the experiment failure, there is
a growing disposition to secure another
vote of the people ou the subject IN
Iowa. It is probable that. the Demo-
Gratis will take ground in their state con-
vention in favor of the repeal Of the in
effective law and the substitution of
license with severe restraints. As the
law was passed by the Republican and
has been indorsed in all their recent
platforms, they will be forced to accept
the issue. It would make the contest
interesting, and probably doubtful.

THEY ARE TOGETHER.

The attempt Of the Republicans to
find lack OF harmony and spirit in the
Democracy of Ohio on the tariff ques-
ton does not develop any visible sue
cess. The Plaindealer, the Democratic
organ at Cleveland, where there would
be weakness on this line if anywhere,
says the Democrats are unit on this
subject, and will keep tariff reform to
the front until success rewards them.
1t asserts that the Chinese wall which
the Republican prohibitory tarifites
are seeking to build around our indus
tries, shutting them in from seeking de-
velopment in the markets of the world,
must be broken down, and the Demo-
Gratis of Ohio will do their full part.
They have been apt scholars in the edu-
cational work of the past year or two,
and are fully grounded on the platform
that unnecessary taxation by tariff is
unjust taxation. If Ohio IS carried by
the Democrats, it will be on this plat

ernment has disgracefully failed wher-
ever and whenever it has been at
tempted. We have only to glance at
the sunken and degraded condition of
the Central and South American states
to find the natural and Inevitable result
of the experiment of equalizing distinct
races. 1t is strictly in accordance with
the natural and supreme law of human
ity that the pale-faced conquerOrs who
invaded the American wilderness and
founded the brightest and best civiliza-
tion that ever blessed the earth shall
forever retain supremacy here. And it
is probably in obedience to this funda-
mental principle that the president is

NO RAY OF HOPE.
Mrs. Hayes Dissolution Appeers
to Be Near.


FREMONT, O., June 24.-The third day
has passed, and DO ray of hope has ap-
peared to relieve the anxious hearts Of
the family of ex-President Hayes. The
physicians have been very watchful for
any change in the condition of Mrs.
Hayes, and DR.. Rilbish remained at the
residence from midnight until morning,
and at seven O'Clock stated that her
temperature was higher and reSpira.
ton faster. From that time till near
noon no material change was in-
dicated. At noon word came that
she was sinking, but dur
ing the afternoon her temperature
and respiration showed her condition to
be about the same as reported in the
morning. At O'Clock this evening
while the family were at supper she had
heart failure and they we're much
alarmed. This lasted about thirty min
utes, when she rallied from the attack.
At o'clock Revs. Mills and Barnes
called and offered brief prayers. Shortly
after Mrs. Hayes pulse marked $50,
but at II, midnight, it was 140. Drs.
Rice and HilblSh are present and will
remain all night. At II o'clock the
family have not yet retired. and some
are resting in chairs in the parior.
There is no doubt that the family con-,
slider recovery doubtful and are watch
ing every symptom and change in fear
of the worst. President and Mrs. Har-
rison sent kilograms of sympathy to-day,

NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR'S.

Dakota possesses more than local in
terest for several reasons. In common
with the other new states, it will have
two seats to fill, and that is an event
almost unknown except in the admis-
sion of states. But the exceptional in
terest grows out of the familiarity to
the general eye of the conspicuous can
didates. 1t is not recorded that the
Republicans alone will have the dis
posal of these, but that is the assump-
ton of the veteran politicians who are
apparently parceling out the positions.
The indications and information render
it a great deal more than strong prob
ability that a combination has been
formed between the ex-governers,
ORDwAY and PIERCE, to take the hon
ors and responsibility upon themselves.
The only obstacles in the way seemed
to be the location of both at Bismarck
and the aspirations Of Gen. ALLEN.
The latter has apparently been enticed
to divert himself with the executive
station for time, and defer national
conspicuity for a season. The geographi-
cal feature is being relieved by the mi
grafton of ORDWAY in patriarchial
way, with his fiocksy and herds and
penates, from the turbid waters of the
Missouri to the prolific valley of the
Red. 1t is pathetic picture, presented
in the hegira of the venerable patriot.
He is looking for location for his i'm
materialized bovines. Fargo will not
have him, as it has ALLEN and other
statesmen to be provided for. Then he
follows the swelling waters down to
Grand Forks, and the gates are shut in
his face, as it wants the capital and asks
no more. This is the case at DEVILS
Lake also, and the wearied patriarch is
reported as finding Walsh only as
available. 1t is notable that North Da
kota apparently owes Its good fortune,
in the present citizenship of ALLEN,
ORDwAY and PIERCE. entirely to the
result of the presidential election. With
rare prescience they foresaw the present
exigency and reached conclusions to
abide, resume Or establish local resi-
dence. They are all amiable gentlemen
of dignifed presence, and perhaps the
people will feel grateful to them for
kindly arranging matters for them.

physicians hit upon a happy idea.
They told my uncle they would perform

drum out. So they had miniature
drum made, and one of them kept it in
the palm Of his hand, where the patient
could not see it. They then cut the
scalp on the top of his until the blood
came. and the physicians pretended to
draw out the drum through the top Of
his head, stitching the wound after
dong so.

TIE CoIoRED CITIZENS.

So far, the only thing that President
HARRISON has done in the way of de-
fining a policy for his administration is
surprise, in that it exceeds everything
that the CLEVELAND administration
attempted in that direction, and is
surely out Of harmony with all previous
Republican declarations and deliver
ances on the subject. We refer to his
attitude toward the negro race. If there
is anything more clearly than another
that the president has determined upon,
it is to ignore the claim of the negro to
social equality; and to that end he is
taking particular pains to circumscrlbe
the colored mans political sphere. He
announces that the administration will
respect the civil and political rights and
privileges which have been conferred
upon the colored people, and Will pro-
tect them in the enjoyment of all that is
guaranteed by the constitution. But he
also asserts with equal positiveness that
this government shall remain under the
absolute control Of the white man, and
that the negro can only be rewarded for
his political services to the Republican
party by appointment to such obscure
Offices that will disable him from
ever becoming competitor for
courage him from attempting to remove
the barriers of race prejudice. That
there may be no mistaking his views on
the purposes of his administration lin
regard to this matter the president him
self set the example of cleaning out the
colored help from the White house as
soon as he moved into it, and has sedu-
lousy avoided giving recognition to the
claims of cOlOred men who have been
applicants for Office.
To casual observer this looks to be
the grossest ingratitude on the part of
the president and his administration,
for in the last presidential con-
test Gen. HARRISON received the solid
support of the coIored voters, and in
some of the pivotal states their vote was
sufficient to turn the scale in his favor.
The total negro vote in Indiana is more
than HARRIsoN's majority in that state
last fall, and probably the same is true
of New York. And yet, as matter of
| justice to the president, we are free to
admit that while his action in this par
ticular bears the semblance of ingrati-
tude, he is still pursuing the
wisest policy that could be adopted.
In all reality, the race problem
is the most serious question in
American politics to-day. and admits of
but one solution. We may indulge in
beautiful theories about universal
human equality, but when we come
right down to it as a practical question
we find that but one race was ever de-
| signed to rule one government. The
experiment of eommingling the blood
of separate races or combining their
energies in the control of single gov
