Not the Fittest.

A party in this city. day Or two ago,
in speaking of his visit to Australia,
was quite enthusiastic in his account of
that country. 1t possessed wonderful
resources, but. with an area as large as
that of the United States, it had but
about 100000 population. In this fact
was the opportunity for a contemplate
enemy that threatens almost the contin-
uance of the white element. This pest
is the rabbit. 1t was not the original
tenant of the land. 1t has been there
but comparatively few years, and yetit
is so prolific that no process of reduc-
ton or determination has been able to
effect anything. Multitudes of them
are killed, but they go on increasing
and possessing, destroying the products
the settlers need to subsist on. The
country is too big to think Of their
being crowded out by settle
ment. 1t is an aggravation
to the people to find themselves help
less in the presence of so innocent and
nice alittIe animal. The lions, tigers
and all the native giants of the country
can be subdued and exterminated. The
once trampling hordes of buffaloes in
this country have utterly disappeared,
and their early hunters are now sub
dued by civilization. All over the world
the tiercest and most powerful wild
beasts have disappeared at the need of
man; and yet this puny. peaceful little
rabbit, that would lie down and die
rather than fight, holds its fugacious and
festive way in spite of all that human
prowess and devices can do. 1t is not a
case of the survival of the fttest. There
are some illustrations III human kind.
The nations that used to Overrun and
DESTROY in Africa have pretty much
dwindled away, while the Egyption and
suffering African are panning out much
like the Australian rabbit.

Some Progressive Views.

Philadelphia is one of the most con-
sentative of the great cities. and its
preachers are not apt to get into any
tracks that are not ruts. One of them.
of an orthodox school as accepted, filled
prominent st. Paul pulpit last Sunday.
and perhaps the fresher atmosphere
moved him little out of the ancient
ways. He said that the somber hueS
that environ the mortuary period and
the legends of woe were entirely incOn-
gruouS with wholesome plcturing and
wholly unfortunate. They had devel-
oped under the reign Of the forbidding
dogmas that some were divinely ap-
pointed to perpetual discomfort and
endless affiictiOn as the penalty OF brief
OffenseS. His special point, however,
was that the modern funeral and the
solemn gloom thrown about death and
the grave were barbarOus, unnatural
and reflection upon the controller of
life and destiny. The grave was repulsive
in every aspect, and should give place
to cremation. Dust to dust is the stand
ard consignment but the ugly associa-
ton of worms and decay is avoided in
the quick reduction to few ashes.
These phases were fOrcibly elaborated,
and special aversion shown to the drap-
cry of bereavement. When Henry
Ward Beecher died his house had the
doors and windows thrown open, the
beauty and fragrance of flowers and
decorations in white and bright colors
were had. The notices were of eXulta-
ton. In the estimation of this Phila-
delphia divine no grander work for hu-
manity was ever done in the Beecher
name. Many have been inclined to
think in that direction, but have not had
the courage to defy the popular usages
and sentiment. 1t is probable that the
time will come when it will be regarded
as in bad taste to go about displaying
the ensigns of personal grief and max
ing other people uncomfortable.

POLITICAL HYPNoTIsM.

Some persons are disposed to think
consciously of the portion of the Repub-
licans in Pennsylvania who operate the
party machine under the direction of
Senator QUAY. 1t is presumed that
many or them are reputable people, and
would prefer to have candidates with
clean records. and not be forced to
swallow nauseous things politically.
They know that the man they nomi
mated for governor last week is repre-
sentative of things not palatable to good
people. and was nominated simply be-
cause QUAY superintendent the job and
compelled his selection. 1t is SEEM
ingly a marvel that man like
QUAY, a mere boss, master OF
the most vicious methods in poll
tics, and man whose record as
an official was only saved from
convicted criminality by the rarest
munifcence of fellowship, can now
drive gangs of men who don't like
public thieving to do his will. He not
only compels them to nominate man
because he is his man, but to vote that
his own record is DIS immaculate as that
of the newborn child. There is one
explanation given by party who has
just come from the Pennsylvania fields
that leaves no stronger imputatiou rest
ing upon these political tools than pos
siDly that of mental feebleness. He
says QUAY is master of hypnotism,
and has put under that influence the
men who operate the party machine.
1t is impossible for them to resist or
break the thraIl. He injects his will
into their minds. and they become as
servile as the dog that is trained to obey
his master. This theory calls for SYM
pathy rather than denunciation of his
unfortunate victims. Perhaps they
should have the protection accorded
people in France, where the hypnotic art
is forbidden to be exercised except by
| medical scientists.

any responsibility or connection with

partisanship, does not Scruple to say
that lone of the strongest arguments in
favor Of the national elections bill is the
bitter opposition which Senator Butler.
of South Carolina, of Hamburg massacre
fame, is making to it,
In paper which was read before the

Holyoke the other day, Professor
Morse. of Amherst, attempted to show
that the general withdrawal of the we'll

harmful separation in American society.

rich and the poor. Besides. the sum-
mer resort movement takes away from
civic life some of the most important
elements, even the church joining in
the hegira.
Commenting upon the attitude of the
two parties in Illinois upon the senator
ship, the st. Louis Republic says that
the Democratic party ''enters the cam
paign asserting the right of the people
above the secret party caucus, which
puts up the senatOrShip at auction and
dlsposes OF it to the highest bidder. 1t
demands for the people the right to say
at the polls who shall represent the
people in the United States senate, and
it emphasizes it's confidence that no
choice, however made, can be better
than the choice of tine people as deter
mined by the people. Against this the
Republicans will be obliged to offer the
rule of party caucus and the notorious
record of plutocratic usurpation through
purchase. The people will decide"

PUSH THE PROSECUTION.

Experience is bitter school. but
there are some persons who will not
learn in any other. The Minneapolis
newspapers have at last awakened to a
consciousness of the gravity of their
census matters, and are now disposed to
stand on ground that they ought to have
occupied in the beginning. In yeSter-
days issue the Tribune makes an ear
nest appeal to the public for suspension
of judgment until the investigation that
has been ordered by the attorney gem
eral is concluded. The Tribune says:
"If any individuals have been guilty of
wrong practices in connection with our
census our people would like to know
it. and would not for moment seek to
obStruct the operation of the law. Min
neapolis has no desire to have anybody
commit fraud in her name, and wants
no wrong transactions covered up"
That is the kind of talk the Tribune
ought to have had in the beginning of
this affair. 1t is great deal more SEN
Sible and effective than holding indigna-
ton meetings, and trying to make
heroes of persons whose martyrdom
was purely imaginary.
If the Tribune and the other Mime
apolis newspapers had taken that posi-
ton in the beginning, it would have
saved the good people Of that city from
manylunkind aSpersions. tits the course
the GLOBE advised them to pursue, and
they now see their folly in not following
our good advice.
While the Tribune has been brought
to its senses with reference to the
course that the Minneapolis people
should pursue, we are sorry to see that
it is still in such bad temper as to be
making mouths at st. Paul, and in an i'll
definite sort of way accusing the
supervisor of this census district OF
having padded the st. Paul census.
The Tribune only makes itself ridicu-
lous by such silly talk, without in the
least helping the cause of the Mime
apolis people along. If there has been
any padding of the st. Paul census, or
if there has been any crookedneSs Of
any sort in the taking of our census,
then we say, in behalf of the st. Paul
people, let the crime be ferreted out and
let the criminals be punished. There
will be no Indignation meetings held
here, and there will be no st. Paul citizen
hobbling around, claiming that he had
been kicked sixteen feet by six Mime
apolis policemen, when as matter of
fact he hadn't been touched by any
body.
Now that the Tribune is OH common
good with us in desire to have every
thing brought to light, let the investiga-
ton proceed.
