The apprehension that none of the

are largely in the majority, although the
territory has been in the lead in assert
ing equality in political and public
privileges of the sexes. Women have
been allowed to vote, sit on juries. hold
offices, and probably smoke cigarettes if
inclined. Most of the material for wives

BERLIN, Feb. Sat Prince Bis
marcks dinner on Tuesday some Incl
dents occurred indicative of the easy
good nature with the prince and his
guests. The company. after dinner,
grouped itself spontaneously into three
parts-one around Princess Bis
marck, another around the emperor,
and the third around the
prince. Both the emperor and
Prince Bismarck maintained an unceas-
ing flow of conversation with those
around them, and the many deputies in
each group were listeners rather than
takers. The emperor expressed his
resolution to promote with the utmost
zeal legislation in the interest of the
workingmen. He declared that COM
mission of inquiry into the labor ques-
ton would soon submit important pro-
posa1s to the council of the state. He
next referred to the subject of colonial
development, in which he mani
tested the warmest interest. He
regretted that Germany had not
England's countless millions to devote
to colonies, and above all things he
wished that the German empire DOS
sessed such mighty fleets as those with
which Great Britain extended her sway
over the earth. Prince Bismarck, in his
circle, explained his views upon vari-
Gus reforms, and especially upon those
relating to direct taxes and the regula
ton of the commercial tax. and dwelt
upon his need for relief from official
burdens. He expressed clearly his in
tention to transfer Prussian affairs to
younger shoulders. This IS supposed to
indicate that his resignation of the pres
ideney of the Prussian ministry may be
shortly looked for.

THE TUNNkL TBEoRY.
4 Suggestion Worth the Attention

4 Suggestion Worth the Attention
of ST. Paul Citizens.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Two million five hundred thousand
dollars will construct a tunnel COM
meneing almost in the heart of your
city and interSecting the Mississippi
river ator near the Tenth avenue bridge,
in Minneapolis. that will give 10000 to
$4,000 horse power at the st. Paul ter
minus.
Such tunnel can be excavated and
lined in such a manner as to be perma-
nent, and the proper inlet and discharge
gates anal locks constructed, for less than
the above sum, and which will make one
of the most substantial and satisfactory
water powers in the world. Five thou
sand horse power at yearly rental
of S25 per horse power, which
is from one-half to two-thirds less
than power can be hired in Mime
eapoliS. will pay per cent on the en-
tire sum required to construct the tun-
mel. If the privileges can be secured,
the money to carry out the project can.
1t is not at all unlikely that a popular
subscription could be made in your city
of half the amount, in money and real
estate. The citizens of many very much
smaller places nave subscribed over
81 ,000, 600 to be given as bonuses to in
duce manufacturers to locate in their
midst. Newton, Kan. is one such, and
Wichita, Kan. with less than 10000
population. has given over Sl,500.0e to
secure manufacturing establishments
and stock yards. 1t is not probable
that on the face of the globe there is
another opportunity for a permanent
water power Offering such natural adj
vantages for its development. The ease
with which the st. Peter sandstone can
be bored the entire length. and the tun-
mel lined so as to make the sandstone
impervious to water, makes it less eH-
pensiye than to make a canal on the
surface under usual circumstances.

A BLOODY MOON.

JOEL HEATwoLE says the president
is an unmitigated liar; and, las result of
this discovery, he is going to quit writ
ing letters to him. This is exceedingly
harsh language to use toward the chief
magistrate of the nation, and especially
when he is deacon in the hurch, and
has Sunday school teacher in his cab
met. Still, Mr.. HEATWoLE is an In
diana man, and ought to Know his sub
Ject. 1t will be very painful to the
president when he picks up the last Is
sue of the Mortified News and reads
Mr. HEATwoLE'S opinion of him. In
fact, we are at loss to know what sort
of redress the president will seek. He
keeping him out of office, for all
that can be done in that direc-
ton has been done. 1t will be
beneath the dignity of the president
of the United States to institute libel
suit in this case: besides, il he inaugu-
rated the policy of bringing action
against every Republican paper that is
saying hard things about him, he would
have to ask congress for an increase of
federal judges in order to find courts
enough to try the cases in. There is
very little chance for him to lick the
Northfeld editor, because JOEL is a
wonderfully robust fellow and an expert
in all the manly arts. The truth is, Mr..
HEATwoLB has the bulge on the presi-
dent, and is evidently fully conscious
of his advantage. Yet it is rather a de-
plorable state of affairs for the county
| to undergo the humiliation of hav-
| ing its ruler i'sassed" IN this
style by every disappointed Office
seeker who has the physical Prov
ess to hold the entire administration
at bay. Possibly the president may
| call upon his attorney general to detail
| a bodyguard for his protection, as was
done in Judge FIELDS case when
SARAH ALTHEA was bounding him to
a threatened death. If it took the
whole posse comitatus of California to
protect federal judge from one little
bit OF woman, we wonder how the
| president is going to marshal a suffi-
cient police force to protect him from
the assaults of the tail chieftain of the
Minnesota kickers. The signs are revo-
lutionary, and unless something can be
done to placate Mr.. HEATWoLE, and
that speedily, the outlook for the HAIR
RIsoN administration is gloomy indeed.

THE LOTTERY JOBBERs.

The Louisiana jobbers have worked
their lottery scheme in the North Da-
kota legislature with more skill and
with more success than is generally
supposed on the outside. Reliable adj
vices from Bismarck bring the informa-
ton that over two-thirds of the mem
bers of the legislature are already
pledged to its adoption. The plan is to
pass the bill. then have Gov. MILLER
veto it, and then pass the bill over the
executive veto. 1t is taken for granted
that the passage of the bill will arouse
storm of Indignation through out the
new state. and that Gov. MILLER will
mount the wave of popular indignation
and ride back for second term into
the executive Office. But it is not
part of the plan that he shall carry back
with him new legislature favorable to
a repeal OF the lottery law. The people
will have indignated in vain. for the
lottery schemers will still hold the fort.
If this is the best showing of Republi-
can pol ties that North Dakota can ex-
hibit, it looks as if it were about time to
retire the Republican party from power
and give the new state chance to make
q decent record.

A RETIRING MAN

While the Republican majority in the
house is turning out the Democrats
from West Virginia under the regime
of the autocrat, it may be noted that the
election returns of that state have been
expunged, and the election Of the
Democratic governor by the legal vote
is placed beyond question. He is to be
inaugurated to-day. There is no rep
utable attempt to deny the rightfulneSs
of the result of the investigations.
There is not the opening anticipated for
GoFF to pose as martyr. He is ia bad
luck. He stumbled into congress one
term. and was in ARTHCR's cabinet q
few weeks. He thought he was one of
the coming men. He is wealthy, and
was able to put many thousands into
the pool to carry the state in 1888. He
was to be elected governor and given
the senatorship. Then he tried to catch
the HARRISON eye when great men
were needed for the cabinet. He will
now be able toretire to private life, and,
like FORAKER, look back upon the mis-
fortunes of aspiring ambition.

RoUNrIEs WANTED.

Some of the people of Kansas. who
want to relieve the embarrassment that
their attempt to produce sugar is cauS-
ing in the protective programme, have
compromised on taking sugar out of
the tariff list, but with q bounty equal
to the present tariff" In Nebraska the
state pays bounty of cent a pound
for sugar produced in that state. If a
locality or state cares to encourage any
production in this way, it is not mat
ter that concerns others, but if the gen.
eral government is to go into the bounty
business, sugar will not have all the
claims. Wool. hides and many other
articles do not afford satisfactory prices.
Some are on the free list, and others may
be. Why should they not as well have
bountiesP Perhaps even wheat grow
ers could stand bounty of 10 or Is
cents buShel.
