STILL WESTWARD.

Capt GEORGE 81. MoFFETT, who has
been the chief editorial writer on the
GLOBE since it has been upder its pres
ent management, severed his connec-
tion with this paper about month ago,
and has departed for the Pacific slope.
He came to st. Paul from the East,
where he had been prominent as a
newspaper man and in public affairs. and
since he has lived among US he has added
new laurels to his past achievements.
He has done great service with his
tongue and pen for the advancement OF
our city'S interests and the cause of the
Democracy. All his aeQuaintances here
are his friends and well wishers. He
combines with the highest qualities of
mind rare good fellowship and the
warmest heart. He has tasted the joys
and possibilities of life in the great new
empire beyond the Mississippi, and he
goes to the borders of the Pacific in the
hope of still broader field for bis
powers. The GLOBE congratulates
Portland on the acquisition it is about to
secure. 1t thanks Capt. MoFFETT for
what he has done for it, and bids him
God speed and success in his new home.

SOME INEQUALITIES.

Not much credit for novelty is to lie
given the discovery that Justice winkS
at times, whether blind or visually
alert. In New York court the other
day there was no imputation of lack of
celebrity. A young man was arrested
for kissing bright and pretty school
teacher on the street without her con-
sent, and within an hour from his ar
rest he was equipped for six months
term in the penitentiary. 1t is not inA
timated that his offense met too sudden
or excessive retribution. There is hard
ly any prerogative of the sex that should
have more jealous immunity than the
lips. The man who kisses a woman
against her evident desire. whether OIL
the street or in sequeStered quarters,
should have his fate dictated by the ag-
grieved party. If, in this case, the
offender was a stranger and nuiS-
ance, the sentence was light, if
quick Had he killed the girl
in place of kissing, and the evil
dence been equally clear and unques-
toned, mis- sentence would not have
been SO summary. He would have been
boarded year or so at public expense,
and, if then tried and convicted, the
chances that he would be hung are not
alarming. But about one out of fifty
murders brings the guilty party into
serious and prolonged trouble. The
New York court is not peculiar. The
minor offenses are usually punished
with prompt and quite full measure of
justice. The prisons and houses of
correction in most of the states are
thronged with men and boys who
have committed the lesser crimes. as
human justice looks at them. Those
who steal few dollars have
small chance to escape through the
ingenious creyices of the law. They
are convicted and likely to serve out
their terms. The other day man in,
Maine was being made uncomfortable
because he had stolen S1S0.090. How lie
happened to be convicted is not under
stood, but the natural sympathy for so
big thief was made to reach the White
house, and the president pardoned him.
That he was gentleman, person of
generous impulses and high character.
was evident from the size of his deal.
Perhaps all men are equal before the
law, but the big rascal is likely to feel
fewer of Its rigors.

JEWS IN THE CENSUS.

The new census seems to afford the
first data OF an official character in re-
gard to the Jews in the United States.
A recent bulletin by the bureau has
indicated the statistics gathered. No
former census has attempted to consider
them as race. In nativity they repre-
sent every civilized land, and some not
so classed: but, whatever their birth,
the racial characteristics are presented.
There does not appear to have been a
general enumeration, but special work
to afford basis for some conclusions.
The matter was in charge of Mr.. SOL
ONIONS, evidently himself Jew. He
sent schedules to $4,000 Jewish families
and received returns from 1868,
numbering 1850 persons. The number
is probably sufficient to warrant the
concentrations as applicable to that ele-
ment in the United States. The num-
ber of children born to each mother is
4.66. This is slightly below the average
Of the country, but the smaller death
rate makes it really greater in results.
Physically, the Jews average above the
other classes. Cripples or imbeciles are
very rare, and Intemperanee almost un-
known, although few are entirely alb
stemious. One of the tables given indi-
rates that they are worth more to life
Insurance companies than other people.
0ne-half of the females live to sixty
five, and one-half the men to seventy.
This is twenty years for each more than
the average life of people in this coun-
try. 1t is very suggestive fact if half
Of the Jewish males live TO seventy
years. Yet some classes of diseases
are more prevalent with them than
the mass of population, such as
diphtheria, nervous diseases and
those of the circulatory system.
They have few deaths from consump-
ton, scrofula and tubercular affections.
Their sanitary regimen and dietary sys-
tenn date a good ways back, but do not
seem to have been greatly improved Oh
by those who have more modern meth
odS. Perhaps the most characteristic
and interesting information gathered
relates to the occupation of the males.
There are Is. lis included in the total.
and of those 2S5 are lawyers, 173 doc
tors and 5SS of other professions, or SAG
in all. The fnanciers and officers of
companies are 422; wholesalers, 2,149:

The GLOBE thinks that 1t has sum :

SONS book accurately. It thinks it
proves beyond question that there is
the most crying need tor just the sort
of railroad legislation it has ALI along
demanded. This legislation should be

joying monopolies or exercising govern

strained to give expression to my views
upon this important subject. 1t will be
generally conceded that our sue
cess in 1892 will wholly depend upon
our standard bearer, Mr.. Cleveland
contends that his defeat in 1885 was due
to the fact that the people of this coun-
try were not sufficiently educated upon
the only issue of the campaign-the
tariff. Now. in my opi0i0n. the tariff
was in nowise the cause of his defeat,
but that it was brought about, in part.
by the soldiers vote. His vetoes of
large number of private pension bills
were undoubtedly correct, but in each
one he had fling at the old soldiers,
showing that he had no sympathy for
them or the cause for which they had
battled. These veto messages Solidified
them against him, and it was their vote,
in a great measure, by which
he was defeated. OF course,
there were other reasons, and
among them let me name several.
The men whose brains and money reu-
dered his final election possible were
totally ignored by him throughout his
administration, and in his second cam
palgn they were not found among his
cordial supporters, and will be absent
and refuse and fail to take part in his
third campaign if the assembled wisdom
of the party should place him in nomi-
nation. His concessions to the mug
wumpS weakened him; and, as he per-
mltted so many of the offices to be re-
tanned by the Republicans. an army of
ofticeholders arose up against him.
With the Sun and 10000 old soldiers ar
rayed in opposition to him, he cannot
carry the state of New York, and with
out it lie cannot hope for success.
| do not wish to oppose him without
suggesting an abler and more popular
man; one that can carry not only New
York, but enough of the Northern
states to render his election absolutely
certain. beyond any doubt whatever.
David B. Hill is the man. With him at
the head of the ticket and ex-Gov Isaac
7, Gray, of Indiana, for the second
place, every Democrat will go to the

nees. Personally, l know neither of
