The Point Pleasant REoIsrER has
just completed its 2Sth year under
the management of that veteran
journalist, Geo. w Tippett. Like
wine it improves with age. and is
now one of the very best weeklies
in the State. Bro. Tippeit promises
some substantial improvements dur
ing the year. Its Democracy is Of
the most aggressive type and we
hope it may live and flourish at
least % years longer under its
present management airmont IN

The Pittsburg Telegraph, Repub-

surplus in the National. treasury
bids fair to become thing of the

piling up, and in its place yawn-

shape of 500, 900 900 deficit. The
Governments income from all

mated at s45O.OOO,O0O, while tire

How The Tariff Tax Operates.

The Geographic columns of Asso-
ciated Press papers yesterday con-
tanned a dispatch relating the diff
culties which the census enumera-
tors meet among the Hungarians,
Poles and Italians in the coal reg
ions of Pennsylvania. These white
slaves of protected coal kings are
herded together like cattle, designa-
ted by numbers alone, and accurate
information concerning their age,
nativity and occupation is almost
unobtainable. In his reply toa COM
munication from the supervisor
stating these facts, Superintendent
Porter declares that these s'laborers
are treated more like beasts of bur-
den than men,"
Behold the unconscious testimony
of rabid protectionists to the opera
tions of the war tax tariff in the
greatest tariff stronghold of the
country. Under the pretense of
"protection" intelligent American
laborers have been driven from the
Pennsylvania coal fields and their
places filed by class whose condi-
ton is a disgrace to society and a
menace to national morality and
safety. The fortunes wrung by un-
just taxation from the masses of the
people go into the pockets of the
coal barons, and only the merest
pittances reach the novels and pens
in which their laborers are herded.
In the name of reason, if the ini-
quities of burdensome tax system
are to be continued, let there be at
least some pretense that it is for the
benefit of the laboring masses, and
not for men who continually war
upon and Cypress labor.-RegjSter.

Random Political Notes and

OF all elections that take place under
our system of government by party, the
primaries held by the different political
parties are the most important. At these
elections candidates to be voted for at
the general election are selected, and 1t
needs no argument or demonstration to
prove the fact that if all nominees OF
political parties were good men there
could be no bad officers. Between the
hours of and z o'clock this afternoon
the primary elections of the Demo
cratic party will he held through
out the city Of st. Paul, and
it is as much the duty of every
good citizen who owes allegiance to his
party to turn out and help select good
men for the party ticket as it is to vote
at the coming city election. But the
call for these primaries issued by the
Democratic city committee is not adj
dressed to Democrats only, but extends
a broad invitation to ''all who are in
favor of an honest and economical adj
ADMINISTRATION of the city government" to
come out and help choose the delegates
who will place Clean and honest ticket
Many good men in all walks of life,
who 40 their full duty, as they see it, in
all else, neglect to attend the primaries
of the political party with which they
affiliate. These same gentlemen are
frequently dissatisfied and disposed to
complain of the tickets nominated at
their primaries, and the thought never
occurs to them that they themselves,
and not the system, are to blame for the
evil that comes out of it. The system
of primary elections in itself is
good one. 1t prevents multi
plicity of candidates by means
of which more bad men would
slip into Office in one year than are able
to get in in five years under the system.
1t is also an integral part of our govern
ment by party, and when it falls into
diSrepute and passes away, political
parties. as well as our present free gov
eminent, will be no more.
The Democratic party of st. Paul is
intent on placing before the people at
the coming election ticket filled with
worthy, honorable aud capable
men, but to do this it needs
the presence at the primaries
of all Democrats, as we'll as
every other good man who
feels like affiliating with the Demo
cratic. party in its struggle for good,
economical and honest government in
the capital city of Minnesota. No citi-
zen of st. Paul should feel that he has
done his full duty as lover of his city,
and his country as well, who fails to
register vote at either of the party
primaries to be held in the course of
the next week and half. Let every
voter turn out at some one of the diff
ferent primary elections and by word
and act aid in elevating and placing the
primary election of this country where
its designers intended it should stand.
Democrats OF st. Paul, drop your
business for short time this afternoon
or evening and do your part toward
selecting the best ticket ever placed be-
fore the voters of st. Panl.

The Identity of the Suicide Unde-
termined and the Body Not
Found.
Officer Conway was detailed yester-
day to search the river and examine
into the circumstances of the mysterious
suicide of Saturday. Nothing was dis
covered further than was reported in
the GLOBE of yesterday morning. The
black SLOUGH hat worn by the man when
he sprang, off the barge at the foot of
Chestnut Street. and which was seen
floating on the surface after its owner
had, disappeared beneath the dark
waters OF the Mississippi, could not be
located. 1t had probably drlfted be-
meath the ice. The description of the
individual is somewhat vague, as the
Young people who saw the plunge ran
away to give the alarm, and 1t Is
scarcely to lie expected that young peo-
pie would be observant enough to ac-
curately describe any one under the
circumstances.
Friends OF Mr.. Guilliart were at the
central police station Yesterday asking
for information about the suicide. lhey
had READ the account of the affair III the
SUNDAY GLOBE. and were fearful that
the unknown might be Mr.. Guilliart
He left his home at 236 Ellen street Sat
urday with the avowed purpose of COM
uniting suicide, and up to last evening
no trace of him had been received.
GuilIiart is Frenchman who has for
long time been employed by HenIesSey.
Agnew d Cox as a superintendent OF
construction. Guilliart is tall, sWarthy,
with dark hair and eyes, with dark
brown mustache,, and wore dark-colored
clothes. As he formerly lived i'll Mill
neapols. and occasionally made trips to
the sister city, it is possible he went
there Saturday to see friends and VIII
turn up. Meantime the query is, If not
Guilliart, who is the man who sought
death in watery grave?

M. F. Sweeney, who has been candl-

nomination in the Fifth ward, has lately

he prefers doing business to being an

His reasons for the withdrawal are con-
tanned in the following letter:
To the Editor of the Globe.
wish to state to my friends through your
Monday morning issue that l have decided
not to become q candidate for alderman OF
the Fifth ward. My reasons for Withdrawing
are that have now $500 worth of city

business of grading streets and other city
work and recent city ordinance prohibits
any city officer from being interested in any
city work or contracts. therefore withdraw

an Interesting Session.
The West Central district of the Sun
day School Institute of st. Paul, repre-
senting nine churches, met yesterday
afternoon at Pilgrim church. The at
tendance was fair and the exercises of
unusual interest. The general topic of
discussion was ''How to Interest and
Teach" divided into two branches,
covering the children and those of larger
growth. DR.. C.E.Lee presided and Rev.L
G. Sheafe conducted the devotional eX-
ercises. Mrs. Sheafe, cOlored lady,
wife of the pastor of Pilgrim church.
read the first paper, which contained
many good thoughts, and precipitated a
lively discussion, led by Rev. Edmund
Freer, of the Lutheran church. Miss
M. A. Anderson read the paper bearing
on the junior Bible classes, and the sub
seuuent discussion was led by j.
II. Hickman. Thomas Cochran
Jr. discussed the senior Bible
class work, and DR.. T. D.
Simonton, Of Plymouth church, fol-
lowed on the same subject. The appli-
cation of co-education in junior Bible
class work was generally favored. An
interesting feature was the question
drawer conducted by d. c. Eggleston,
superintendent of the House of Hope
Sunday school. The evening session
was to have been held in Plymouth
church, but, as that edfice is undergo
ing repairs, the programme was ad-
iourned, with the understanding it
would be given within a few weeks.
