THEY DON'T WANT 1T.

\ prominent Ohio paper mildly re-
proves the Republican members of the
state Legislature for opposing the ballot
| reform movement. 1t admits that the
people are determined to have il, and
those who get in the way will suffer-
The Republicans in that legislature are
not isolated in their opposition to this
reform. The same condition exists in
Maine, Pennsylvania and New Hamp-
shire, as well as other states The oper-
ators Of the party machine are generally
opposed to the system, and in the states
where they have made Doodle the effect
i've election agency they will if possible
prevent the success of anything like the
Australian method, not always. how
ever, daring TO show their hands clearly.
When the statement OF prominent
member of the Republican state
committee of Indiana, made in
recent committee meeting, es-
capped into print, there was an at
tempt to laugh it off as piece of faceti-
| BUSINESS, but there is no doubt that it
had real meat in it. He said: You
all know that we carried the election by
lost it in 1890 because it could not be
used to advantage, and because Of the
| new Australian election law. We must
have a chairman who is smart and
brainy enough to get around that law,
and it must be got rid of somehow"
OF course, they put it in their plat
forms, and pirate of a pure ballot and
honest elections. They did this in New
Hampshire, and, after stealing the legis-
laturc from the Democrats, they have
the past week adopted gerrymander
apporGionment that should make a
gorilla blush. They even went beyond
REED in counting aquorum not present.
| but counted men as voting who were

to have any show. REEDS home organ
| denounces the Australian ballot as a
wicked foreign invention, and would
have the legislature continue to re-
| ject it, in recent article i'll the World
| on this subject, eX-Lieut. Gov. c. f.
BLACK, of Pennsylvania, cites the stu
alton in several states, and says of his
own state:
The same is true of the machine under
| the control OF Boss Quay in Pennsylvania
! There the ring politicians have since their
overthrow in the late election professed a
| virtue they have not, and pretended that
! they were not hostile to ballot reform but
! would actively favor it. The bills looking in

any result. They-snderstand perfectly that
the Introduction of the secret Australian
ballot would destroy utterly the power of the
I machine at the POLLS
California is another of the states in
which the Republican leaders will not
have Il protected ballot On the other
hand the Democrats are everywhere in
sisting upon it. One of the strong
points against the force bill was that if

NOT A GOOD PLEA

NhIle there are so many freaks creep
ing about into all sorts of avenues. if is
assuring to see the courts generally
holding their heads level. One in New
York the other day merits special con-
Sideration. 1t will be remembered that
the man JAMES DoUGHERTY. who
made such a nuisance of himself as an
admirer of MARY ANDERSON. was sent
to an asylum for the insane. While
there he murdered DR.. LLOYD. one of
the medical attendants, in a manner
that displayed great craft and the most
minute preparation. His case was
taken to the criminal courts, and the
plea of insanity did not exempt him
from the usual criminal processes. In
fact, it was admitted by the prosecu-
ton that he was not in his right
mind at the time Of the killing,
but his mental DETECTION was not
such as to relieve him of ali accounta-
bility, and he was an extremely
unsafe man to have further oppor-
tunities for mischief. He was not re-
garded as man likely to be ever free
from mental disorder The sentence
was to Sing Sing for life. This was a
judlcious disposition of him, whatever
the degree Or direction of his insanity.
As lunatic he should be kept in Ilgid
confinement, and his fatal deed should
stand against him as crime, not with
reference to the moral quality so much
AS TO the security of society. When
courts discharge such parties as not
responsible for their acts there is no
assurance that they may not be let loose

SUPPOSE 1T SHOULD PASS

There is bill before the senate, in
troducet by the versatile Mr.. DoN-
NELLY, to which the GLOBE has, on
several occasions, referred. 1t seeks to
divide the tax on incumbered real prop
erty into two parts-a tax on the equity
ana tax on the mortgage. The fee
owner is TO pay the first only, and the
owner of the mortgage is held liable
for the second. In this way real estate
is to be relieved of the double burden
which IL Is supposed to carry under the
present system. Now it is taxed to
its full value, with no allow
ances for membranes, and the in
cumbranceS are themselves made to
pay tribute in addition. The scheme
seems fair enough at first glance, but
the difficulty lies right here. Suppose
that the MORTGAGE is nonresident.
According to the laws as they now
stand no tax is imposed on such mort
cages. and if they were not changed,
and Mr.. DONNELLY'S bill should pass,
the effect would be to reduce the rev.
enue of the state from real property by
the value of all the mortgages on it
which are held by citizens of other
states and countries. Now the total
value of the property is assessed. IN
der the DoNNELLY plan only the value
OF the equity would appear on the as
SCISSORS books. This would result in
an enormous falling Off in the states iu-
come.
Mr.. DONNEILY sees this danger, and
has sought to meet it by the introduc-
ton of bills under which the payment
OF the tax on every mortgage, no matter
who owns it, shall be enforced. The
GLOBE has shown again and again that
his scheme, in as far as it undertakes to
impose a tax on mortgages owned by
non-resldents, is unconstitutional. Now
suppose the legislature does not heed
this warning, does not believe that such
law would be unconstitutional, and
goes ahead with its enactment Then
here is the risk which it runs. Even if
there were any doubt about the matter,
as there is not, everybody will ad-
init that this part of Mr.. Don
NELLY's taxation measures stands
some chance of being nullified by
Ii4C ouplCilC COul LEU us gran L.
for the sake of the argument that this
turns out to be the case, and that the
taxation in Minnesota of mortgages
owned by non-residents is declared a
legal lmpossibility. Then we shall have
on the statute books law which limits
the tax liability of the owner of real es-
tate to the value of his equity. and
which, by an enforceable provision.
tries to secure the balance from a tax on
IFS membranes. A week after the law
had got into this shape there would not
be a piece of real estate in the state
which was not covered to its full value
by mortgage running to some non-reSi-
dent. The fee owner would pay nothing
on his equity, because his equity would
not be worth anything. The non-resi-
dent mortgage would pay nothing be-
cause this part of the law would be un-
constitutional. From the day such a
system was inaugurated, real estate tax
alton would cease to exist in Minnesota.
And what then would become of the
state? Mr.. DoNNELLY calls his bill one
to equalize taxation. A better title
would be one to abolish the taxation of
real property and bankrupt the common
wealth

\ BIT OE HEAIRrG

a small specimen of the humbag in
politics was afforded in congress the
night before its expiration. A Repub-
lican member moved an amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill, Civ
ing $4,000 to commission of five mem
bers to investigate the evils of the LIQUOR
traffic. A hot debate sprung up over it,
the Democrats opposing it as merely a
job to give parties an additional iunket-
ing tour at the expense of the treasury.
Republicans were fervent in its sup
port, and would have the friends of
temperance note the respective atti-
tudes of the parties. They disbursed a
vast amount of buncombe for use in GER
tain localities. Possibly it was an acct
dent, but it happened that the RepubIi-
can cloak room was that night suppiied
with all sorts of liquors on tap free for
members. while the Democratic cloak
room had nothing but hot coffee and tea.

THE OLD MATERIAL.

,TALMAGE is quite safe in pitching
into NOAH for getting drunk. The old
fellow has been defunct a good while,
anu left 10 friends who care to take up
his defense. People in these days talk
of wanting the EARTH" NOAH thought
he bad it, and it is not surprising that
he held the bottle little too long in
consequence. There are people in this
age who might be overcome by sim
liar temptation. Most all the worthless
who figure in the ancient time as the
first and best citizens of their days had
little peculiarities that don't size up
we'll with modern ethics. When DAVID
was struck with a beautiful married
woman he had her made widow, in
order that he might marry her. The
fact is, the world started in the historic
period with men and women that would
not pass in good society now. They had
the raw material. however, and it has
come out handsomely later.

w. A. Chambers returned from a trip
to the woods few days ago, and re-
ports everything moving along at
good rate at the different logging camps
in northern Wisconsin. Mr. Cha mbers
stated that he did not believe any of the
lOggerS would secure the amount OF
logs which they expected to get early
in the fall, and he did not anticipate
that more than $50, 900, 900 feet in all
would be cut and hauled. Many of the
loggers are Skidding, and have logs
enough for hauling during the present
month. The weather has been especi-
ally favorable to loggers since early in
better condition.
Arrangements have been made for a
tr0tting matinee on the Lake St. CrOiX

prizes are offered for competition.

representative few days ago that the
contract for hauling into the river all
of the old logs lying on the banks of tine
st. CrOiX, between Titcomb's landing
and Taylor's Falls, would be completed
tomorrow, and upwards of 100000
feet of logs have been secured.

IN THE DAKOTAS.

1t is no doubt an intense aggravation
to the anti-prohibition elements in the
two Dakotas that majorities in their
favor in both houses in each state
could not be utilized. The miss was
but a hairbreadth in both states. All
the accidents cOnspIred to the retention
of the system. No further action can
be had until another legislature con-
veues. 1t requires three years or more
to take anything out Of the constitution,
but the aim in North Dakota was to
emasculate the statute passed under
the constitutional requirement. But
nothing was done. The effort at repeal
was very significant as evidence that
the law is failure. There is no doubt
that this is the fact in all the towns
The condition will probably be suggest
i've of generally disused statute, with
here and there sporadic and spasmodic
attempts at enforcement.

CAUSES OF EAILURE.

BRADsTREETs has recently issued a
statistical pamphlet Analysing the list
of failures last year and assigning their
causes. Interest attaches to them, espe-
cially from the fact that they show that
the common impression as to the cause
of failures in business is not rightly
based. Dull times is the prevalent the
DRY as the occasion of suspension of
business. 1t is expected that when
there is commercial depression the num-
Der of failures will be the greatest. The
past year was much duller in business
relations over the country than 1880. yet
the number of failures in 1890 was S per
cent less than the year before. Out OF
something more than l,063,OO parties
and corporations rated in 1890, but
1920, or 1.l5 per cent, failed, against
l.27 per cent in 1889. The grouping

fact that it has been passed by the Wis

BETTER BRIGHT PICTURES

Gen. BUTLER is understood to have
retired from active participation in
public affairs, and perhaps he will play
the seer somewhat in his seclusion.
The recent opinion is credited to him
that this country will have another war
at no distant period. 1t is not under
stood that he assumes to penetrate the
curtain so far as to distinguish the op-
posing elements, nor does he indicate
the exact time table. He takes his OBJ
serVatiOn from historical base line.
Wars come about so often. and the mil
liant cycle is about due. Ben has not
felt the elevation of new civilization
that is rising above the brutality and
savagery of war. He notes that people
always have gone to war, and presumes
that the record is not to be changed.
That may be the philosophy of history,
and applicable the other side of
the water, but Senator INGALLS,
is the better diagnoser of the
American system. This country need
not borrow any serious apprehensions.
BUTLER makes a mistake when he looks
in the lurid direction. Perhaps, how
ever, he regards wars as desirable. if
not absolutely needfuI TO the growth of
the assertive spirit among nations.
There would be little chance for the dis
covery OF military genius without wars.
PhlebOtOmy is at times useful for the
physical system, and perhaps is for the
political aggregation. But wars are
going out of fashion. The machinery is
becoming too formidable and danger
Gus. 1t is much pleasanter and quite as
rational to picture the world in new
era, and moving on toward greater
amiability and less friction between
nations. DONNELLY has carried the
peSSimiStic style to a wild extravaganza
i'll his recent book. If the car of ciyiIiza-
ton is to be so completely wrecked in
century, it is perhaps better not to
anticipate it. Some of the plutocratic
and monopoliStic forces may be point
ing III that direction. There are his
toric passages that might give a plausi-
BILE coloring to the picture. Civiliza-
tons have risen, and all the arts of life
have had high development, and passed
away. ban barism succeeding. The his
torlc period may be the small incident
III this sort Of mutation. Modern science
and good deal of the material deyel-
opment may have come to the front for
the first time. There is no evidence
otherwise. The arts of peace are TO he
put above the triumphs of the savagerv
OF killing people. This country is to be
the New Jerusalem of the better time.
