Wants "a Good Deal.

A bill in equity has been filed in the
gomery Palace Stock Car Company
which demands $3,OOO,0O0 damages
from Streets Stable Car Line for an
alleged illegal appropriation and use OF
patents for railroad stock cars. 1t seems
that both companies are operating pat
ents of J. w. Street. now deceased.
The. contention of the Montgomery
company is that by agreement it OBJ
tanned right to all patents that might
be taken out by Street. The inventor,
it is claimed. violated this alleged con-
tract prior to hi5 death in favor of the
defendant. The sum sued tor is as
serted to represent the profits wrong
fully accruing.

Crane and Wine Chat.

The hilly region around Livermore, Alameda
County, Cal, where early in this decade the
best French grape varieties were first planted,
created surprise in wine circles on competitive
examination of the wines produced therefrom.
This California appreciation was confirmed by
the highest awards-gold and silver medals
by the jury Of the Paris Exposition in 1889 for
several speciality wines of Livermore growth.
The three wines of the Olvina Vineyard,
which partook Of these honors, we are privil-
eyed to sell here. They are reproductions from
Burgundy, Malbec, and Sauterne grapes. They
can be judged of at our Office on Fifteenth
street.
Sauterne wines from France labor under the
defect of producing headache. The French
keep the remnant of unfermented grape sugar,
which gives zest to that wine by sulphur fumes.
Sulphurous acid thus generated is by chemical
action converted into sulphuric acid in old
French Sauternes. The "Oliyina" proprietor,
j. p. Smith, avoids using the French formula
His Haut Sauterne, which he intrusts to us, is
completely fermented. 1t is absolutely "dry,"
and therefore wholesome.

portant questions now uppermost in the
public mind.
There have been presidents who made
themselves obnoxious to congress and
to the country by their over-officiOus-
ness in public matters; yet it is better to
have president of that sort than one
who manifests no interest whatever in
questions of public concern. A dummy
in the White house, with an automatic
attachment for signing appointments,
would do as we'll as the present chief
executive.
negative administration is always
misfortune for the country, yet it is still
more unfortunate for the Republican
party to be dominated by man with
out policy. Little intellects are apt to
have an imperious cast, and when per-
son of small intellectually and of a
strongly imperious disposition obtains
power he is quite apt to make the
surroundings uncomfortable. President
HARRIsoN's idea of running the gov
eminent seems to be to make all others
in official station subsery lent to his
will. This would be eXcusable If he
had any we'll defined policy to estab-
lish. But in the absence of anything
like policy, and apparently taking no
interest in public questions, one Won
ders why he should be so anxious to
hold the appointing power as a perpet-
ual menace over congress, or that he
should insist upon asserting his indi-
viduality in matters that are wholly i'm
material to the country. 1t is only an
other illustration of the wisdom of the
old proverb: "Put beggar on horse
back and he will ride to the devil"

WHAT 1T WILL COST.

1t is insisted by many Republican
papers and authorities that the pension
bill agreed upon in conference and that
has passed the house, and will no doubt
become the law, meets the pledges of
the platform and campaign. This is
not conceded by the G. A. R. element
that has been most active in its de-
mands for pensions. 1t is hardly sug-
gestive of the theory advanced at In
dianapolis that druggists scales were to
be discarded in weighing out pensions.
There was reason to expect from the
professions of the Republicans that a
far less conservative measure would
have their support. The service pen
sion was the natural inference. That,
however, is matter between them and
those who were deceived in their
voting. The measure passed is not
opposed as too liberal in any influential
quarter, although in some details it
leaves an unwise discretion, and the
gag business, in its passage, was proba-
bly, designed to drive Democrats into
opposition. There is wide difference in
the estimates of the addition it will
make to the pension rolls. CLARKsoN's
paper supposes it will add SO, 900 names
and S3O,Op0.000. Mr.. HENDERSON. of
Iowa, thinks of S35,0OO,0O Senator
DAVIS, of this state, speaks of s42.OOO,-
O6O. and others figure as high as sixty,
and even one hundred million dollars.
All the pension legislation has outrun
the estimates. The point that Mr.
SPRINGER specially objected to was the
discretion given the pension Office to
make the pension anywhere from S. to
S12 per month to the soldier who has
mental or physical disability. 1t is given
out that the senate. will not go beyond
the dependent feature.

WHAT THEY ARE PAID.

The recent effort of the bureau of
statistics and labor in Massachusetts to
obtain full information as to the wages
of employees was not probably in the in
terest of any political theory; but
enough were gathered to give the re-
port interest ard value. Out of the
nearly 100000 parties engaged in manu-
features and Industries data were gath
cred from about two-thirds. Few in
telligentpeople now persist in the old fall
lacy that high tariffs cause high wages;
but there has been great deal of legis-
lation in the interest of labor in that
state, and its condition probably aver
ages rather better than in the other man
ufacturing states. Some will perhaps re-
member having heard i'll political ora
tory, especially in tariff times, how
much better labor is paid in this
country than in Europe, and the con-
trasts drawn between the wage-earners
on the two sides of the water should in
spire admiration for the American
craftsmanship to which it was attrib
uted. One of these political tracts not
many years old pictured the wor kman
on this side as usually getting from ST.
to $40 per week. These fresh figures
show that even in most favored Massa-
chusetts only 20 per cent of the male
and l per cent of the female workers
get more than SIS per week; more than
half the men receive less than $40 per
week, and but minority of the females
receive Sc per week. More than third
get less than S.. This is the showing
in one of the most thrifty manufacture
ing states. There are reasons not re-
lated to the tariff why labor
has been better requited in this
country than in most of those
of the old world. This is easily under
stood. Some of the workmen in Nc
KINLEY's district the other day failed
to elicit any reply from him when they
asked why his theory that high tariffs
benefited labor did not operate that
way in Germany, Italy, Austria, Hun
gary, Spain, Russia and the many other
countries that have high tariffs. In all
of them labor is paid less than in free
trade England. This Massachusetts in
Quiry shows that in the best light it can
be seen so per cent of male labor and
90 per cent OF female labor earns less
than the average per capita production
of the country. This indicates that an
enormous majority of the wealth pro-
duced in the country goes into the
pockets of the small minority. That
tendency is fostered by high tariffs.

A NEGATIVE ADMINISTRATION

That discreet silence pursued by Gen.
HARRISON during the last presidential
campaign still clingS to his administra-
ton of public affairs. His admirers
boosted of his shrewdness when can
didate in not saying anything that his
adyersaries could take advantage of.
He succeeds now, just as he did then,
in his non-committal policy by never
saying anything that is worth repeat
ing. There isn't man in all America
to-day who can quote a single sentence
from President HARRISoN'S public ut
teranceS.
This policy of discreet silence may be
all right for candidate, but it is all
wrong for the chief magistrate of great
nation. The head of the executive de
partment is presumed to know the needs
of the country, and it was upon that as
sumption the constitution authorized
him to make recommendations to con-
gress. OF all the important legislation
now pending before congress. including
the tariff, the silver, and the pension
bills, it is not known what action the
president will take upon any of these
measures when they come before him,
nor has there ever been single word
from him in the way of advice or recon-
mendatiOn as to what course congress
should pursue in relation to the i'm

ALWAYS A SHOW.

To the Editor of the Globe.
AS Democrat want to propose straight
question to the GLOBE Is there a show for
the Democrats III Minnesota this year? In
the face of the $4,000 majority against us
two years ago would it not be better for the
Democrats to fuse with the farmers and the
knights of Labor In their Independent move
ment, and by all pulling together wipe out
this Doodle administration? Giro up your
loins and give square answer.
AN OLD TIMER.
Saltwater June Id.
The next Democratic state convention
can give more definite answer to these
questions than we are able to do, and
they are respectfully referred to that
body when it meets.
The GLOBE speaks for itself only.
We have our opinions, nor are we
ashamed or afraid to express them.
A party with principles always has
show. If Democratic principles are
worth having they are worth staying by.
1t is not a question of numerical
strength on a division Of party lines
merely, where principles are involved
that bear upon the homes, the pockets
aud the consciences of the great body
of the people. 1t is always better to be
in the minority and be right than be in
the majority and be wrong.
The Democratic party has undertake
en- to reduce the war taxes to peace
basis. 1t has furthermore the high mis-
sion of holding corporate power in
check. 1t believes in the preservation
of the forms of local government and in
guaranteeing home rule to the people.
These are it's principles, and if they are
worth anything they are worth contend
ing for.
The Democratic party relies upon the
intelligence and honesty of the masses
for the success of it's principles. The
creation of false issues and the corrupt
use of money may retard Democratic
progress for a while, but it cannot be
so forever. The people of Minnesota
are too Intelligent and too honest to be
always deceived by false prophets.
The independent movement among
the farmers and the laboring classes is
an encouraging sign of the reaction that
is about to set in. Their disgust with
Ill6 COIIupb pIdCGiCCo VI OilO uOAillltlht
party has brought about this mutiny
in the Republican camp. They have
grown weary of the burden of useless
taxation. They are tired of seeing
hired men go to the conventions to vote
in opposition to the honest sentiment OF
| the masses.
There will come a time, sooner Oh
later, in Minnesota politics when &
bought nomination will insure the de-
feat of the nominee. 1t may be this year,
or it may be some other year, but it will
come. Those who believe in Demo
cratic principles can afford to wait it:
coming, and to hold their souls in pa
tience until it does come.
The size of majority against it is nc
terror to party whose feet are planted
upon the everlasting foundation of cor
rect principles. With its face to the
morning sun, the Democratic party
moves unerringly forward to a fina
triumph; and we can say to the farmer:
and to the laboring men, as MOSES said
to the Midianite when about to set GU
for the promised land, "Come and g
with us. for we will do thee good"
