THE CROW EATERS.

The Minneapolis Tribune eats crow,
but it does it with puckered mouth
and with sort of I-smell-a-smell twist
to its nose. While the two distin-
guished BritiShers who are running the
st. Paul organs swallow both ticket and
platform with evident relish, the Maine
statesman who presides over the des-
TIMES of the Tribune masticates his
crow diet with bad grace. The Tribune
manages to swallow the ticket just for
the sake of harmony, though it is done
with an apparent effort, but it gags on
the platform. GORDON Z. COLES free
trade logic does not find an acceptable
lodging place in the stomach of a jour
nal that has always been true to Repub-
liean principles. The Tribune hits the
platform and the platform makers a
weIl-directed blow when it says:
The Hon. GORDON E. COLE, whose views are
singularly at variance with those of the Re
publican party of the United States, but who
aspires regularly and periodically to write
the platforms of the Republican party of
Minnesota, was conspicuous as usual yester-
day in connection with the work of the COM
mittee on resolutions. He is probably in no
small degree responsible for the evasive,
meaningless and therefore cowaroly plank
that treats of the tariff question. The conyen-
ton ought to have been shamed to allow
such bit of oracular nonsense to pass with
out protest or challenge. The Alliance people
had some views on the tariff question, and
had sense enough and courage enough to ex-
press them. The Democrats WILING fail this
year to adopt tariff plank that can be I'M
derstood But the Republicans of Minnesota,
belonging to the party in power, that is re-
sponsible for the actual treatment of the tariff
issue, have the fiabbiness to adopt tariff
resolution that is intended to read three or
four ways like an Ivory soap advertisement
and that means absolutely nothing at all.
With frankness that is unexpected
from partisan organ. and with an in
dependence that reflects credit upon
the Tribune editorial management, that
paper proceeds to show the 1nsincerity
of the tariff plank in the Republican
state platform. 1t says further:
MrGoRDoN E. COLE. who is more pronounced
as a free-trader than any Democratic politi-
clan in Minnesota, of course interprets this
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-07-26

plank as straight free-trade utterance. And
KNUTE NELSON, who is tariff reductionist,
can read his pet views reflected therein. The
plank might better have read as follows:
1.-THE tariff laws should be SO adjusted as to
meet your individual ideas of what is good
for the country, whatever those ideas may
be. The other parties will have right TO
deride the Republicans upon this absurd at
tempt to dodge an expression OF opinion on
the tariff question. There are certain ancient
political hacks who stay in the Republican
fold of Minnesota for the crumbs they can
gather Or for some other reason unknown,
believe these subtleties and tricks of
language, which make platforms place
where honest opinions are disguised. to be
part and parcel of shrewd politics. But they
are either old fools or old humbugs. Their
'cuteness" disguSts the voters Platforms
ought to say something, and to say 1t d Is
flnctly and courageously.
We ask pardon of our Minneapolis
neighbor for quoting so literally from
its columns, but we are really afraid
that it will not have such another spasm
of honesty during the campaign, and
we want to make the most of this. 1t
struck the nail on the head and drove
the truth home when it said the voters
of this state are disguised with the ex-
pediency tricks of the Republican lead
ers, who resort to the tricks and subtle
ties of language to cover up their honest
opinions. The vote in November will
verify this statement.

UNLOADING ABILITY.

The two men who have given charac-
ter to the administration of public
affairs in this state for several years
past are omitted from the Republican
state ticket this year. One had the
grace to climb down in good time, while
the other one was kicked off the perch.
We allude to Auditor BRADEN and Sec
rotary of State MATTsoN. Mr.. BRA
DENIS fidelity to the public interests
made him unacceptable TO the clique
who are running the state government
for the profit there is in it. Col. MATT
SON, who is by far the brainiest mem
Der OF the state administration, is man
who carried his sovereignty under his
hat, and, because he refused to fall
down and worship the golden calf, was
selected for the slaughter. 1t is not to
the credit of the Republican party that
these two faithful public servants
should have been ground to pieces by
the ring machine, and their dust scat
tered to the winds as warning to
others not to rebel against boss rule.
The GLOBE has never taken any
stock in the cry of nationality which
the political demagogues are constantly
making. A mans birthplace is matter
of no consequence SO long as he is a
patriotic American citizen and is faith
