AROur THEOSOpaY.

WILLIAM Q. JUDGE lectured yeSter-
day afternoon on theosophy in Min
neapolis, before the Ishwara TheoSoph-
ical society of that city, and during the
evening in st. Paul, before the ST. Paul
Theosophical association. The GLOBE
has hitherto maintained. with impreca-
tionS and occasional physical violence,
that there was no such thing as a theo-
SOphical society in this city; but, to its
shame and confusion. it has discovered
that its local pride in this direction is
not well founded.
Mr.. JUDGE is general secretary of the
American section of the occult science.
He has met Nine. BLAVATSKY, its
illustriOuS apostle, now alleged to be
dead, and Col. OLCOTT. who during her
lifetime was second in command and
inspiration. Mr.. JUDGE Is alleged to
have ranked next. Col. OLCOTr ha d
the reputation OF being able to
understand some of the things
which Nine. BLAvATSKY said, but not
all that she said. Mr.. JUDGE has the
reputation of being able to understand
some of the things which Col. OLCoTT
says. but not all that he says. 1t NAV
be presumed that when Col. OLCOTr
understood Nine. BLAVATsKY she
talked about something else than theOs-
Ophy, and that Col. OLCoTT in his in
telligible conversation with Mr.. JUDGE
carefully avoids that interesting sub
Ject, Their most enthusiastic admirers
have never claimed that even these
leaders were able to comprehend each
other in their debates about the occul t
science.
Mr.. JUDGE is now addressing the pub
lie in the Western states on theOsophy.
He undertakes to tell what it is. He
does not limit himself to the platform,
however, but is generous with his in
formation, even through the news
papers. He says that theoSOphy is a re-
ligiOus science and a scientific religion:
that it is not new, but old: that its
cardinal principle is evolution, not
single evolution, but dual evolution.
Theosophy, therefore, to quote his own
words, gives a foundation for ethics,
resting on justice and human solidarity.
Nothing could lie clearer or more
promising than this. SO lucid a pres
entatiOn Of so important topic will, no
doubt, draw large audiences in all the
intellectual centerS of Minnesota and
North and South Dakota. The GLOBE
hopes that Mr.. JUICE will have time
also to visit Idaho and Wyoming. There
is much hungering there for soul food,
and he will receive hearty welcome.

SECRETARY RUsK,s REPORT.

The third annual report of Secretary
of Agriculture RUSK, just Issued, is a
state paper of rather encouraging tone.
1t appears that, Notwithstanding the
enormous crop yield in the Northwest,
values are well sustained. Secretary
RUSK estimates that the increase in the
value OF agricultural products over last
year Will be not less than S700.001, 900.
During the first three months of the
present fiscal year exports in cereals
alone have aggregated So 600, 900. Such
a showing as this indicates that our
sales abroad OF farm products will be
largely in excess of any previous year.
Although there has been an increase of
some S2S 10000 in imports of agricult-
ural products within the last ten
months, it is noted in the report that
these imports are not of kind that con-
fiict with home products. Upon this
fact is laid considerable stress by the
secretary.
But in no sense is this favorable re-
port a full. or even partial Endorsement
of the MCKINLEY tariff. Favorable con-
ditions for sustained values, such as
short crops in Europe, India and other
countries, have operated tavorably in
behalf of the American farmer. But
there is not the first scntilla Of evil
dence that heavy American duties have
added one cent in price to bushel of
wheat or barrel of pork. In spite OF
our stern trade restrictions. the law of
supply and demand has eXerted the
same influence it ever Will exert in the
face OF artificial trade handicaps. and
our farmers profit accordingly.
To the pork raisers of this country the
report of the secretary is poor consola-
ton. 1t shows gradual, though alarm
ing decrease of exports. owing to the
prohibition of American pork by Eu-
ropean countries. That this prohibitive
policy on the part of foreigners is large
ly i'll retaliation for our own exOrbitant
customs duties on their products is al
ready an admitted fact and beyond con-
troversy. American pork raiserS can
CLEAN naught but cold comfort from Sec

LET THEM DRAW LOTS.

Judge CAVITY, of the Minneapolis
bench, in sentencing woman convicted
of immortality in that city the other day
delivered an address on the horror of
her trade which has been widely quoted
and commented on. No doubt she is
very wicked, and perhaps ought to have
been punished by death instead of the
ten months Imprisonment which he i'm
posed on her. But there seems to be a
suggestion of unfairness in berating one
poor creature so soundly for a crime
which is probably not yet altogether
suppressed in even so holy a place as
our interesting neighbor up the river.
To read his hOnor's fiery words, one
would think that when the woman be-
fore him had been safely landed behind
the bars there would be no more vice
in Minneapolis, aid that the pomegran-
ates of innocence would bloom once
more there with the same sweet bushes
they wore in the Garden OF Eden.
The GLOBES information leads it to
believe that the court is in error in this
opinion; and, if an appeal is taken to
the facts, he is liable to be reversed
with costs. The wheels of sin whirl
just as rapidly in our sister city as
though Nine. LLOYD had never been
convicted, and parties bent on guilt
Jaye not been baked at all by any lack
OF opportunity, in spite of this signal

CRUSHED By Nf'KINLEY.

Away off in the South Pacific ocean
poor King MALIETOA has been made to
feel the fangs.s of McKinleyism. In
other words, he has been virtually
bIncOed by the United States govern
ment, and it is more than probable that
he feels sore about it, After the hurri-
cane at Apia, Samoa, which destroyed
the American men-of-war. the wreck
age was generously presented 10 MALL
ETOA as a kind Of honOrarium for valua-
BILE services rendered by the Samoans in
saving the lives of American sailors.
OF course MALIETOA was highly de-
lighted. as would naturally be any other
king on a salary of but $50 a week. He
saw something in it, but lacked finan-
cial means to raise the wreckage. A
California firm came to his assist
ance under promise that the wreck
age should be sold nowhere else
but in San Francisco. This was
agreed to by MALIETOA, and consider
able money was expended in putting
the wreckage into shape for transporta-
ton and shipping it TO the United
States. Now the treasury officials at
Washington step in and refuse to per-
nit the landing of our gift to the king
unless duty be paid which is much
more than tie contract price for the
wreckage delivered in San Francisco.
Under such stringent circumstances the
only thing left for the poor king is to
redump his wreckage, pocket his loss,
and turn to the study of political econ
omy as elucidated by the great and only

THE COMING SESSION.

Now that the elections are over, at
tention IS turning toward the coming
session of congress. The Republicans
are specially interested in the contest
for speaker, perhaps fearing that the
Democrats will some way blunder. 1t
has been favorite theory with them
that, with their overw helming majority
in the house. the Democrats will wrangle
and perpetrate abSurditieS. 1t would
perhaps be better for the Democrats if
they had stronger minority opposing
them. but the session just preceding the
presidential election is not usually
fruitful in legislative measures. Both
parties figure with reference to the
coming canvass. The Democrats have
but one of three branches Of the govern
ment, and, of course, cannot enact any
law by their own votes. They were,
however, elected year ago as a protest
against the extravaganza of the Repub-
lican congress and in antagoniSm 20 the
MCKINLEY act. The late election does
not show any change in The popular
disposition. 1t will be the duty of the
Democrats to insist upon the utmost
economy in the public expenditures,
aud embody the reform tariff senti-
ment in their measures. 1t will be the
central issue in the campaign next year.
The Democrats have occupied some
what negative position so far, but it
must be shown at the next session what
they propose to affirm when the way is
opened to them. 1t does not follow that
full and complete tariff measure
should be prepared. but the chief abuses
of the MCKINLEY act must be elimi-
mated so far as the house is concerned.
Whether such bills can be passed the
senate and White house is not material.
The duty of the Democrats is to act
boldly and judiciously.

with them to defeat FORAKER and elect
SHERMAN. The disposition of the DEM
ocrats will be so clearly indicated that
the SHERMAN men are not likely to adj
nit any willingness of this sort. 1t is
an absurdity, of course, for Democrats
to think of voting for SHERMAN, how
ever they may detest FORAKER. For
the reputation of the state, the disrepu-
table ex-governor ought not to be
elected. but it is not Democratic fight.
Both of the candidates have always
made it their business to fight Demo-
Gratis, and there is as little to hope from
the one as the other in the senate. If
the Republicans can afford to displace
one of their veteran and most reputable
public men by fellow like FORAKER,
the Democrats have no occasion to in
terfere. They can stand it if the Re-
Dublicans can.
