STEALING ALEGIsLATURE.

There is much excitement in New
York over the composition of the legis-
lature. The Republican party is hold
ing largely attended mass meetings and
passing resolutions denunciatory of
Gov. HILL and the Democracy. They
are accused of trying to steal a majority
in the upper house, where, it is claimed,
the original returns showed seventeen
Republicans to fifteen Democrats. The
canvasSed results are different, and
give the Democracy control in both
branches, but the charge of dishonest
counting is freely made. If what the
opposition press says is true, Gov. HILL
and his coadjutors are in a desperate
moral condition. They are riding rough
shod over the laws and the constitution,
and issuing certificates of election to
defeated candidates in utter disregard
of the popular will.
All this is arrant hypocrisy. We
have just elected governor in the state
of New York by plurality or nearly
$4,000. And yet Tom PLATr, fitting as
champion of political integrity, would
have the world believe that his party
has honestly carried the legislature.
Since the time of the civil war only two
Republican governors nave occupied
the gubernatorial mansion at ALBANY.
With these exceptions an unbroken
line of victories has marked the Democ-
racy's contests. Sometimes It's ascend
ency has been measured by few thou
sand votes. Once it reached to nearly
100000. But in spite of this, astound-
ing as it may seem, during all these
years the Republicans have invariably
controlled one branch of the legislature
or the other, and only once or twice
have the Democrats had the most votes.
even on A joint ballot.
For quarter of century the Repub-
iican party has been stealing the New
York legislature. 1t has stolen it with
such iteration that it Is come to re-
gard it as its own property by right of
possession. Its weapon of robbery has
been an unjust and unequal apportion-
ment of the state, by which thousands
os voters have been DISTINGUISHED, and

POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE .

This is a decided victory for the
Northwest. 1t is a recognition of this
section that few years ago would have
been impossible in national politics.

The Republican convention goes to
Minneapolis. Is st. Paul willing? By
the way. Minneapolis Republication is
reported to be not of the Harrison-Mc-
Kinley variety. = Cleveland Plain

1t is doubtful if it will influence
twenty votes. Minneapolis is not only
far removed from the center of pOpula-
ton, but is away out of the geOpraph-
zeal center OF the country. -Kansas City

The selection of Minneapolis as the
place for holding the national Repub-

The choice of the big Touring city by

The selection of Minneapolis as the
place to hold the next Republican ma

The Northwest has been drifting
away from the Republican party for
several years. and this manifestation Of

The question of the ability of the Re-
publican party to hold the Northwest

the ability of Minneapolis to mold the

indications that Minneapolis will have
the easier taSk.-St. Louis Post-Dls-

MAKING IT'S WAY.

Success in putting corn into extern
sive use i'll Europe may prove of greater
eventual advantage to this country than
the demand for wheat. 1t NAV happen
that good crops will come again to the
wheat-grOwing regions and less room
be left for the American article. There
will always be more or less instability.
especially under the conditions induced
by protective laws, in the demand for
United States wheat. But let there be
large consumption of corn once estab-
lished, and it will be permanent, as it can
not be grown with success in many parts
of Europe. The most recent accounts
are exceeding encouraging, especially
from Germany. The requirement that
1t shall be mixed with rye in the army
rations IS a big card for it. Then the
exhibition given of its qualities so con-
Spicuously i'll Berlin has aided to start
the fashion. In fact, it is reported that
sort of craze has been inaugurated for
the great cereal. The common peoDle
i'll Germany have lived very largely on
black bread, and depended to a great
extent on Russia for their supply. This
has now failed them, and, as a conse-
quence, the price has advanced
enormously. Here it may be suggested
that there are unusal shipments
of rye from this country. and it may
find larger market. The Germans
have fortunately learned that this Amer
lean corn can be made to help ont the
rye shortage by mixture, and that the
combination is an improvement on
either element. The white graduated

THE PRESS DID IT.

There is hardly patent medicine In
existence, or that has had big run for
time and made fortune for its own
ers, that would have been a financial
success but for the aid of the press.
KELLEY, the gold cure operator, is now
adding to his bank account many thou
sands of dollars each week. But his
scheme is no new thing. Twenty years
or more ago he commenced to reclaim
inebriates by the same processes he now
uses. He had faith that there was mon
ey in it, but was unable to impart his
trust in any lucrative way to the
public. He used a vast amount of
printers ink, but it was not of
the right quality. The press gave him
no attention. Other parties were solic-
tied to cooperate with him, and at one
time arrangements were partially per-
fected to remove from the obscure viii
lage to Chicago and boom the thing, but
it seemed so nearly failure that this
could not be done, and KELLEY himself
was about ready to drop the thing as
financial failure. But the past year or
two the press was induced to discuss it,
and the golden flood is now rolling in
upon the persevering operator. Per-
haps he has good thing, but it would
have remained in the ranks of scores
of similar agencies but for the influence
of the press.
