INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS.

The Mortified News undertook to
read the Minneapolis Times out of the
party because it refuses to support the
Republican nominee for governor.
Whereupon the Minneapolis journal
publishes list of thirty-six Republican
newspapers in the state that have
kicked over the traces in the same way,
and thus consoles itself with the re-
Election that if it is driven out by the
machine bosses it will go out in good
company and with plenty of associates.
This is not good year for reading
Republicans out of the party. If all the
shrine of boodleism and who protest
against the corruption of machine poll
tics are to be communicated, the Re-
publican ranks will be wonderfully
decimated. There are great many
honest people in the Republican party
who are not too partisan to follow con-
victions, and we are glad to observe
that so many of the journalistic profess
sion are among them.
Besides, there is nothing in either the
Republican platform or the Republican
ticket to enlist the sympathies of gem
uine Republicans. The platform is dis
honest from the word go, and makes
sacrifice of every Republican principle
for the sake of expediencY. The ticket
is in no sense representative Republi-
can ticket. 1t represents so much spot
cash, and nothing more, except that it
emphasizes the power of the machine
in controlling the Republican organiza-
ton.
Taking everything into consideration,
this is an exceptionally good year for
independent action among honest Re-
publicans. In, fact, it is the best proof
a Republican can give Of his fealty to
Republican principles to repudiate both
the Republican state platform and the
Republican state ticket.
Those who are kiekers already are
numerous and respectable, and their
ranks are increasing every day.

A HORSE CANDIDATE.

Gov. Merriam of Minnesota is stopping at
the Richelieu "incog.' He has a mortal
terror of being interviewed and has issued
strict injunctions to keep his arrival secret
from the press. The governors reelection
is dependent on delicate char res, which he
fears might be swept entirely away were he
to open his mouth relative to any question
at issue in his state. His GRAND in the city
is to attend the races, in which a number of
his horses are entered. Until the season is
over he may be found at the track all day,
leaving the hotel early in the morning with
John Splan, the driver, and returning only
when daylight drops over the western hori-
Zon.-Chicago Post.
The ChOctaws have proverb to this
effect: ut is a wise pappoose who
knows how to keep his foot out his
mouth"
Gov. MERRIAAI's wisdom is in keep
ing his mouth closed so that his pedal
extremity will not slip into it.
But it does seem that governor who
affects to pride himself on his business
administration would like to go out
among the people and tell them of what
he has done.
Besides, there is an old-fashioned
notion prevalent in this country that
governor is hired by the people to stay
at home and administer the affairs of
state, and not to be looking after his
private interests on a horse-racing cir
cult.
There are still some old-fashioned
people in Minnesota who adhere TO the
belief that the man belongs to the Office.
and not the Office to the man. And it
will be incumbent upon Gov. MERRIAM
to explain to these old-fashioned people
under what provision of the state con-
stitution he draws salary of $1,000 a
year for acting as judge at AN Ohio
horse race or for superintending the
entries at the Chicago race course.
The GLOBE is not making the issue
against Gov. MERRIAM that he thinks
more of his race horses than he does of
his executive duties, but we are just
giving him timely warning that he
will have to answer some questions
when he gets back home.
Ii he has found the race course more
profitable than the state house, the peo-
pie will cheerfully let him out of the
latter.

LACK OF COURAGE.

In the passage in the senate over the
QUAY resolution the past week, the
BonorOus oratOry of Senator FRYE re-
Eerberated with an imputation upon the
courage of some of the Republican SEN
ators. His ideal no doubt was found in
the speaker of the house, who would
put under his ruthless feet all the
Asages and traditions that stand in the
path of partisan purposes. Senator
EDMUNDs was enough in the range
of the aSpersiOn to attempt retort, but
Hacked the opportunity to elucidate his
view of courage as applied to the legis-
1ator. The only courage worthy of the
name in congress is the moral strength
that leads in the path of honest con
Niction. There is conspicuous
absence of this among the Re-
publicans. There would be no Nc
KINLEY tariff or force bill passed
in either house if members who disbe-
aieve in them had the moral force to
vote as they pray, presuming a little
upon fanciful line. The courage to
resist the menaces of the party caucus
and bosses is not displayed by the Re-
III SltilSl lOuoO W OH CAlGuG
to call for much enthusiasm among the
admirers of noble qualities. There is
sort of brutal strength in the spirit that
actuates the REEDS, MCKINLEYs and
their federation in compelling the weak
and ignoble to follow them in defying
precedents and legislative decency in
carrying out their schemes. There
lis the courage of the bully in
their rule. TO follow them re-
quires but the courage of the
mob. The taunts OF the FRYEs and
lREEDs do the work intended There
ARE men in the senate of intellectual
strength who want to defeat the passage
of the force bill, and do not believe
the MCKINLEY bill should be en-
acted with the provisions the party
majority will insist upon. They have
neryed themselves to the feat of putting
the one out of the way for this session,
and voting against or lodging the vote
on specific clauses in the other. There
is, however, little encouragement in
their attitude for the defeat of the tariff
bill. There is surplus of the wrong
sort of courage in the Republican ranks
in congress, and conspicuous absence
of the kind needed to prevent the alb
sorption of the legislative powers by
class and mercenary interests.

PEACEFUL EXPLOSIVES.

If the German emperor, the car and
other European controllers turn their
backs upon precedents and disregard
all reasonable prophecy by promoting
the redu ction of all the great armies to
proportions inconsistent with wars,
there may be disappointment in secur-
ing tests of modern devices for destruc-
ton of armies upon any satisfactory
basis. Only actual war affords the ex-
hibition that scientific and artistic
needs call for. 1t has been anticipated
that a revolution in explosives would be
had, and gunpowder disappear from
the arena, with its annoyances to the
ear and eye. An explosive has been
the quest of all the great nations that
would be even more potent than that
