The extent to which the cause of ed
vocational politics suffers from the exist
ence of largely circulating and eager
ly sought-for journal like the St Paul
Globe cannot be estimated. Upon all
honest endeavor to teach the people a.
right and give them the benefit of opin-
ions arrived iat after thoughtful and
well-meaning consideration, the hastily
written editorials of such irresponsible
papers act with blighting and bane-
full influence, and render futile the efforts
of the more deserving class. Take
as an instance of the truth of the forego-
Ing, the Globes stand on the question of
reciprocity. 1t has been one of ridi-
Guile from the start; it has never once,
that we know OF, given its readers the
benefit of we'll Studied and labored ar
ticle in discussion of this feature
of the present administration, which
of all others, perhaps, will result
most to thu advantage of our producers
and consumers alike; but, on the con-
trary, it has been content with here and
then slap at the author and ridicule of
the policy. That such is not the course
for 4 paper that occupies the station
and favor that the Globe does, all will
agree. The reciprocity treaties are the
principal achievements of the present
administration. Months have been
spent in negotiating them, and if they
are of enough Importance to be favorably
accepted of BY ahalt-dozen governments
and by the business men of the country
in general. surely they are entitled to
more than passing notice at the hands
of leading daily paper. No one, of
course, disputes the right of the Globe
to be Democratic; no one questions it's
right to disagree with the Republicans
if it can give good reason for doing so.
There are good many, however, who
do not believe that paper is entitled
to make fun of a measure of vital inter.
est to business without first giving that
measure the consideration that is due
to it and without baslng it's conclusions
on things zeal, not imagined. A dis
cussion of reciprocity on its merits
would be welcomed by any of its advo.
Gates. They are willing that the oppo-
sition should puncture it with investiga.
ton, and bring to bear upon it all pos
sible argument, but they are opposed
to educating the people on topics of
business and political economy with
nothing more substantial then evasion
and loose ridicule.

In considering the probability of
Merriam's election to the United States
senate, to succeed Cushman Davis, q
gentleman of this city, wholly the way,
is shrewd political observer, made
the remark that they were giving Merri-
am entirely too much credit, and referred
to Pioneer Press editorial, the gist OF
which was that Merriam didn't possess
brains enough to go to the place for
which so many are booking him. The Re-
view is inclined to take an entirely differ
ent view from either The question is not
one of Merriam's ability to creditably fill
a seat in the senate, but rather one of his
ability to attain to so lofty a position 1t
is true that b. is not known for his bril-
liancy of speech, for his profunditY OF
learning or scholarly attachments, but
the day seems to have passed when such
qualifications as these are perquisites in
a senatorial contest. The people OF this
state have already seen how man by
the.name of Washburn aspired to the
title of senator and with no known
recommendation but shrewdness gained
his end. Is it presuming too much
then, or rejecting any great credit on
our present executive to believe that by.
stroke of political straightforward, he
may do as we'll? There is no longer
that unanimous demand for Davis that
secured his election six years ago. Pol
itics in Minnesota have been terribly
disturbed since then, and the constant
ibnbbling has given rise to strange fac
tlons at the head of which are strange
leaders. That Merriam Is politic.sA
enough to know that the advantage of
the schemer over the man of brains is to
be found in this unsettled condition of
thing political, all who know him must
readily admit. That he is now engaged
in profting by this advantage and is
laying his wires so as to lead the sena-
torial lightning to strike in his own i'm
mediate neighborhood, few will be
found to dispute. Just now the chances
seem in his favor, but his success or fail
ure are not in his own hands. The press
can do much to cripple him, and the
people, if stirred up, have the power to
defeat his high ambition. The caucus
is the place to do it. There the people
can select the men who will choose the
next senator, and, if they will, they can
see to it that those who are chosen are
not for VIM. r. Merriam.

There is not a line nor section in the
entire bill which will open market for a
bushel of our wheat or a pound of
American pork. That was the bold as.
sertion of all the Democratic orators
who went about the country last fall
declalming with all the sophistry, that
they could invent, against the McKin-
ley bill and it's reciprocity features. 1t
was the text for daily editorials in the
St. Paul Globe, and that most irrespon-
sible of journals has not ceased as yet to
style as humbuggery the brilliant CON-
mercial policy of Mr.. Blaine and a Re-
publican administration. Facts, how.
ever, are never without y certain
amount of weight, and comparisons,
while odious, always bring home some
convincing truths. Last week, Mr.,
Estes, consul to Jamaica, delivered an
address en- reciprocity before the Union
League of Minneapolis. The address
was not one, delivered for the purpose
of winning votes. On the other hand,
Mr.. Estes spoke as a business man
would; as one who was DESTROYS to give
his neighbors the benefit of his more in
innate acquaintance with the workings
of a policy which means much, either
for the veal or woe of the business in.
terests of the nation. What he said
therefore, we can much better afford tc
accept of than the editorial squibblings
CT a paper like the Globe, which makes
it's observations solely from q partisan
stand point and does not believe in Civ.
ing the devil his due unless there is
something in it for the Democracy.
To quote from Mr.. Estes figures, the
United States imports $s240, 100000 Of
the products of the Southern countries
and sends s20O,GO0,OO0 in gold tc
pay for them. Jamaica alone sold
the United States 100000 worth
of goods, and bought in return only So,
100000. Brazil in former years has
paid out 100000 for the products Of
foreign counties, but of this only 49,
100000 went to the United States. This
is the way it used to be. Under the re-
ciprocal policy the American shipments
to our southern neighbors, Mr.. Estes
shows, are being rapidly increased. The
United States is being permitted tc
share in the advantageous trade with
these countries, which is so eagerly
sought for by European nations, and il
course of time the bulk of it is destined
70 be dollars and cents for the Ameri
can producer. This is the policy Of Mr.
Blaine and of the Republican party. I
IS a policy born of intelligence and a re
gard for the interests of the people. I
is one that will eventually meet will
approval, despite the thrusts of tn
Globe and those who tie to its aprol
strings.

Whenever great reforms have
been accomplished, the needs of the !
hour have invariably prompted the
movement and leaders have sprung
from among the people only as necess-
ity required their. services. Never, as
is now being attempted by the third |
party movers, have few restless spir-
its given impetus to successful rectifca-
ton Of existing evils. Failure has al
ways attended such efforts, as it always
will when men set about to correct they
hardly know what. Extremists never
make good leaders. Men who do not
understand, that in an intricate govern
ment like ours, with so many classes
and such diversified wants to satisfy,
there must occasionally be pinch, and
that the party in power is not to blame
for that which cannot be avoided, are
hardly fitted to perscribe for the griev-
ances of a people. The latter may lis
ten to them for time; may even take
stock in their efervescent baubles; but
the hub-bub of their doctrine soon be-
comes wearisome. In course of time
the sham of such restless quacks, who
90 about the land offering crack
Drained theories of relief, becomes ap-
parent, and the movement, that they
seek to inaugurate for the sake of no.
toriety, falls fiat. There is, of course, a
discontinued class of citizens, who seem
to enjoy having it said of them that
they are oppressed; who are never so
happy as when these extreme orators
tell them that they are weighed down
with unnecessary burdens. Such PEG.
pie, to be sure, will always welcome
these constant innovations in politics,
and it is of such, that the ''partv of the
people, organized itself last Wednes-
day Look into the Cincinnati convention
and you find fifteen hundred delegates.
led about and dictated to by such no.
torious frauds as Donnelly, Simpson,
PETER and few others, men who have
sprung into prominence through an un-
accountable streak of political luck and
whose lack of common sense is only
equal in comparison to their abundance
of cheek and mouth. OF such were the
prime movers. Those composing the
Punch and Judy, section, who howled
and cheered when the leaders winked,
were mostly men who have made a
failure OF business. By negligence and
want of thrift, they have let good farms
90 to waste, and now, Just because money
doesn't come to them without earnest
toll, they are anxious that the whole
system of government should be turned
topsy- turvy to suit their tastes. In all
candor then, we would ask the farmers
and laborers of this section, if they would
be guided by the whims of individuals
/ like these, or it a platform drawn up by
. theorist like Donnelly, whose incon.
t sistencies we ali know, is apt to be any
j better for them than one prepared by s

AN IMMENSE HAMMER.

There has recently been completed
at Bethlehem, Pa, the largest steam
hammer in tie world. 1t is to be
used for forging armor plates for the
new men of war, and two years have
been occupied in its construction.
The total weight of the hammer
itself, that is, the portion of the
machine whose impact is felt, is l25
tons. This weight, by the use of a
steam piston, is raised sixteen and
one-haIf feet, and from that height
drops upon the object that is to be
forged The force of such blow
can scarcely be imagined. The total
height OF the framework Of the
machine is ninety feet.
The anvil Weighs 1900 tons, and
is made of twenty-five immense
blocks of cast iron, with steel face
upon which the metal TO be forged
is laid
The only hammer in the world
which approaches this in size is at
La Crensot, in France, where there
is one that weighs 100 tons.

Lowell Mason, who wrote the music
for this song and had the curiosity
to ask Mr.. Mason what he was paid
for his share of the production. The
latter answered that he received $40
also. Thus author and composer
were placed on terms of strict
equality. The piece Melted many

CHINESE IMMIGRANTS BY the
RELGIC.
EDITOR BULLETIN -

EDITOR BULLETIN -
1t is rumored that as many as 500
Chimes are to arrive here by the >
8 Belglc, now due FROM Hongkon9,
and no doubt the proper authorities
will see that they all come armed
with the customary Government
passport, permitting them to RE
turn to this country, after visiting
their homes in the Fioaery Kingdom.
The entry into the Hawaiian Isl
ands Of this large number Of Chi
nese, under the existing restriction
laws, will necessitate the closest in
spection 10 discover whether or not
the letter rs we'll as the spirit
of the law is complied with, to see
that the people are actually the irdi-
viduais they represent themselves to
he, and that they have not succeeded
in substituting others by one of those
tricks that are vain" tor which the
'heathen Chinee is peculiar.
This mornings paper states that
the "Belgic Is due to-day with seVe'
raj hundred Chinese labOrerS," (the
italics are mine), but, from my
knowledge of the Chinese methods of
getting behind the law in the matter
of immigration, take the liberty of
doubling the correctness of applying
the word "laborers," (. e. agricul-
tural lahorers) as suitable one to
describe the future avocation Of this
large influx into our midst. | am
more inclined to think that the maj
GRITTY of them will develop into
mechanics, store keeping, ETC., and
that, unless each man is in possession
of a properly certified photograph Ga
practice | understand no longer
observed in granting return pass
ports), to establish his identity, we
shall be admitting a lot of new men
against whom the recent restrictive
legislation directly applies.
The question will naturally be
asked: How is that possible when
every man holds proper passport,
/ particulars of which are duly regis
tered in the Government Office? The
explanation is not difficult one, and
the modus operandl is as follows: A
Chinaman here is DESTROYS Of import
ing from China number of his
friends, and he and u lot of accom-
| plices express their intention of visit
ing China, and obtain tax receipts
and the necessary passports to leave
and return, engage and pay for their
passages on sailing ship; but instead
of going to China, remain behind
and send by mail to their friends the
return passports. A large number
of such passports are disposed of in
China at q high premium, so that the
willy celestial succeeds not only in
gaining admission for his friends into
this country, but is also consider
able gamer by the transaction fnan-
ciaIly.
The law is, to all appearance, COM
| piled with, but new stOre-keepers,
new carpenters and other mechanics,
come into the country all the same.
To what extent this practice is
carried on [ am unable to say, but
that it is done by every steamer ar
irving from China, there can be no
room for doubt. OBSERVER.

The &c. O. NJ. )" according to a
news item elsewhere, is in favor Of
the due legislative representation of
labor, but does not believe in an eX-
elusive labor party 1t would be a
''queer parliament, he thinks, which
would contain party for every class
in tie community. In Hawaii we
have seen one party recognizing the
workingmen' interests in its platform
and ticket, and an opposing party
formed Oh a nucleus of organized
workingmen. Either way with equit-
able adjustments is quite IN harmony
with Mr.. Gladstone's opinion. The
platform of the Mechanics Union,
on which the National Reform Party
took its stand for the general cleo
ton, carefully recognized the rights
of classes other than the working.
On the other hand, the Reform Party
was constrained, at a previous by
election, to concede the claims of the
workingmen and store-keepers in the
matter of Chinese competition. There
are certain great principles of gov
eminent, however, which concern all
classes alike, and, where there Is
agreement thereupon, a political con-
test is, SO far as these principles go,
reduced to a question of men to car
ry out the common object. This
again must be reduced to question
with the independent electorate, as
to which of the organized parties in
the field has nominated ticket best
representing the desirable balance of
power among all classes.
