GENIUS is q word that has never
yet had an acceptable definition, one
which photographers and rhetori-
clans could accept. We have always
been much pleased with the one which
describes genius as "a lunatic more
or less sane" An insanity expert has
just taken tilt at this word and
defines it thus: "Genius is degenera-
tive epileptoid psychosis." We can
only presume that this is pretty near
the mark.

vention in Ohio, in favor of taxing
incomes, as a premium upon laziness
and general shiftleSSness. Only by in
dolence and dishonesty can its exactions
DE evaded. A man strives to get up in
the world little and the relentless in
come tax holds him down. 1t is even
asserted that the laboring man is to be
taxed on his daily wages. The harder
he works the more he is taxed. The
lawyer is to be haunted by the tax
gatherer as he takes in his fees. The
preacher is to be discouraged from
hearing call to "a bigger salary on ac-
count of the income tax. The doctor
must make his fees small to escape the
cOrmOrant. In short, it is pun
gently said that 1.-THE energy,
enterprise and thrift that have
made the American people wonder in
the eyes of other nations are punished
by a fine" The attack is not upon the
feasibility of enforcing such tax eQul-
tably, but upon the principle involved.
If it is conceded that such tax can be
made to reach all the classes who should
be touched by it, with reasonable
efficiency, its strength is assured. The
hesitancy as to its eXpediency rests upon
its practicability mainly. How far such
tax can be fairly enforced is not under
examination now, but as for its prOmot-
ing lazineSs or imposing hardships upon
those not we'll able to bear them, there
is less ground for such charges than in
the case of any other taxation. and eS-
pecially the taxation upon the essentials
of life imposed in the MCKINLEY tariff.
When the income tax was imposed in
the war times it made the exemption
less than $1,000 and reached classes that
could not afford to be mulcted on their
small earnings. The government was
hard up and compelled to squeeze every
body; now there is no proposition to
touch the income of the masses, $4,000
being perhaps the exemption. This is
far above most of those who subsst by
manual labor. Possibly some of the
preachers, lawyers and doctors will not
be grievOIsly oppressed by small tax
OH their requirements in excess of
$1,000 per annum. The argument that
an income tax is fine upon enterprise,
Improvement anu tuTllG Is lar lnOT6
fOrcibly used by those who insist that
all taxes on realty shall be on
land alone, no recognition being
had of the structures or other i'm
prOvements. There is FEASIBILITY
in the claim that to tax land owner
for erecting building or otherwise
utilizing the land is to fine him for his
enterprise. But it is as forcible to in
sist that any taxation represses thrift
and diScourageS industry as that upon
incomes. The view is an easy one, that
as the financial support of all govern
ments must rest upon the property of
the land, that which is most productive
ought to contribute most freely. Those
who have the largest incomes can afford
to pay the most in taxation. The prin-
ciple does not differ from ordinary taxa
tiOnOf property. The man who has the
most property is taxed the most because
his possessions are presumed to better
enable him to pay taxes. The most eff
fective ground to attack the income tax
on is the difficulty in enforcing it equit-
ably.

Lifts company last evening gave an excel
lent performance of Tom Taylor's always
popular 1.-The Ticket-of- Leave Man." which
drew a good house, despite the fact of its re-
peated presentations in this city. THE
Ticket of Leave Man. is too well known to
need an extended notice. Its five acts are
full of the struggles of Bob Briefly to wipe
out the convict stain upon his name :;
the pretty love story of May Ed
wards and Bob; precociOus Sam Willoughby;
Hawkshaw. the detective, anu the plotting
villains Meter Moss and Jim Dalton. One
of the best pieces of work yet done with the
stock company by Harry Mainhall was his
Bob Briefly. He has an excellent dialect and
personates the Lancashire lad in a most
artistic manner. Miss Radcliffe was charm
ing May Edwards, and Jessaline Rodgers as
Sam Willoughby, and Frederick Book as jim
Dalton, both gave good Characterization.
William Fredericks was a little too
preachy in the delivery of some of the
lines of Hawkshaw. and Miss Lester
not quite glib enough for a typical Mrs.
Willoughby. While the gentleman who
played Mr.. Gibson had all the necessary age
in his makeup. he was hardly good enough
for the character in his actions. Charles
Eldriige made very fair Meter Moss, and,
as a whole, the production was an excellent
one. the few little individual shortcomings
stated being more noticeable from the well
known character of the play, and not being
OF such kind as to mar its presentation.

HER OPINION.

ELAINE GoODALE has married Sioux
Indian; and, whatever may be thought of
her taste, her residence so long among
that variety of the human species and
her conceded intelligence give value to
her opinions in regard to the needs of
the aborigines. She says it is imposSi-
BILE for the Sioux to make living off the
lands assigned them for farming with.
out irrigation, as the crops fail on ac-
count of drought two years out of three.
This must be equally true of the large
part of their reservation thrown open to
white settlement. The settlers are re-
Stricted 10 160 acres like the Indians;
and this, no doubt, accounts for the fact
that the lands are not being taken up.
She thinks something might be done in
cattle raising, but that requires more
than one or two quarter sections. This
indicates that so far as that lot of red
men are concerned the Indian question
is not in as hopeful a condition as many
have supposed.

of Indiana, seems to add to his other
qualifications that of ability to make
his state safe. Then CAMPBELL, of
Ohio. and BOIEs, of Iowa, are possibili-
ties if they get through the November
gauntlet. 1t might be suggested that
the Western material is not covered by
one or two Quartettes; but that is not
important now. There are alluIing as
poets to the proposition to come west
ward for the man. In a good lifetime
but two Democratic candidates from the
West can be recalled. CAss, of Michi-
gan. was defeated in 1S4S by split in
the Democratic party in New York. In
1860 DOUGLAS, of Illinois, also had
division of the party to encounter. The
East has furnished the candidate at
every other election. Five times since
1860 have the Democrats gone TO New
York for their man, and but once put
him in the presidential chair. 1t is
urged that the multi plicatiOn of small
states in the West has made it necessary
for the Democrats TO nave New York,
and consequently give it the candidate.
1t is believed that 1892 is to be Demo-
cratic year, and success can be had with
any suitable candidate. There is no
impOrtunate demand that the candidate
shall come from the West or Cape Cod;
but it should be protested that the
claims of no locality shall have preva-
lence. The party is national, not sec
uOnal. and the fttest and most repre-
sentative man can have the preference
with small regard to location.

HE HAD AUTHORITY.

There has been talk in this COM
munity of late to the effect that Gov.
MERRIAM had no authority under the
constitution to call out the militia for
the suppression of the prize fight, and
that his course in so doing was a wan
ton and unwarranted violation of the
provisions of that sacred document.
This is moi correct. The GLOBE con-
dennis his course, if he is responsible
for the insult to this city; but it con-
dennis simply because he has been
guilty of a breach of discretion and
dangerous abuse Of the power confided
to him. He has the right, however.
under the constitution, to evoke mill
taTy assistance not only to suppress
Instruction or to Tepel invasion,
but also in order to execute the laws.
The presumption is that a man elected
to Office bY the votes of the
people will appreciate the conditions
under which he viii be justified in eX-
0rclSing this extraordinary function,
and that he will not use it needlessly
nor so as to endanger the popular liber-
ties which he is sworn to uphold. Moth
ing shows a mars cIeverness or his fit
ness 10 rule so accurately as his method
of employing powers which the laws
give him that they may be resorted to
if needed, but only if needed. The
GLOBE believes that there was no Oc-
casiOn for the presence of armed sol
diers on the streets of st. Paul on
Wednesday evening last, and, if the
governor and the sheriff will finally set
tie between themselves who should
carry the odium of this achievement. the
GLOBE Will endeavor to keep alive its
memory to his account against the
future.

TO SELL OR NOT TO SELL

There is no harm in the Alliance lead
ers' circular letter to the farmers on the
price of wheat, unless 1t should mislead
some of them to their cost. The GLOBE
does not understand that it advises the
cornering of the food supply. but simply
undertakes to equip producers with
knowledge about the probable future
condition of the market. If the Alliance
leaders are right in their opinion, and
any considerable number of farmers
should get big price for their crops by
following the programme suggested to
them, nobody in this section of the
country would be inclined to find fault
with the outcome. Even if bread should
be little bit high because of their pros
perity, the people of St. Paul could stand
it. The richer the farmers are, the bet
ter it is for US all, and we all had much
rather they should reap the velvet from
the shortage in the old world than that
it should go to the horde of spectators
who derange the markets of both CONT
nents by their criminal manipulations
and gambling in breadstuffs.
But, even if one knows as much as a
leader in the Alliance party has to i'll
order TO hold his position, it is a great
deal of a responsibility for him to
assume the role of a prophet. The list
of bankrupts is full of the names of
men who, following a friendly and we'll
meant tip. held on too long. The secret
of success in the business world to-day
is to know when to run. Almost any
fool can make money in rising market,
but it takes no low grade of operator to
detect the signs of break and to stand
a small loss rather than to hope against
hope until ruin comes. Quite frankly,th
GLOBE does not know whether fortune
waits on delay in the present instance
or not. and it does not believe that any
one else does. 1t may look that way
now, only to turn out the other way
presently, because in speculation, as i II
a poker game, you never can tell what
the draw will do for your hand. The
part of wisdom for the farmer will be to
take all the advice which is given him
and to critically weigh its claims to con-
sideration. Then let him act on his own
best judgment and as his circumstances
will permit. If it turns out happily he
will be glad. If it turns out otherwise,
he will know that be has been the archl-
tect of his own discontinue, and this is
the sort of defeat which a brave man
can endure more comfortably than any
other.

the beer drinking peSsimistS insist that

articles. But few, however have any
conception of the glucose industry. it
has had the protection of only a mod

proportions as to attract the greedy at

of English capitalists is understood to
be aiming to control the market for
glucose, not only in the United States
but over the world. The eight or ten
glucose factories in the country have
been gathered in, with capital put at
S16,000,000, and $50, 100000 of bonds
are to be issued These factories
afford a considerable market for
the corn grower. as they use from co.
600 TO 10000 bushels of corn per day.
Corn is cheap, and consequently glucose
is made at cost that renders it profit

perhaps, in deteriorating the beer. No
