LOWRY IN THE CABINET.

THOMAS LOWRY has been named as
WINDOWS successor aS.Secretary OF the
treasury. He has not been so named by
the president, but by men who know
him much better than the president
does. But the trouble in this case, we
fear, Will be that, should the president
come to know Mr.LowRY we'll, he might
not want him in his cabinet, for the rea-
son that his secretary of the treasury
would then be a much bigger man than
the president himself. Mr.. LOWRY IS
one of the broadcast and clearest-headed
men of this country, either East or
West. He is one of the levelest-headed,
as we'll as biggest-brained men. He
could have had the seat in the United
States senate now occupied by MIR.
WAsHBURN by saying tine word, but he
didn't want it. 1t wouldn't suit him.
He is too active a man, too much of a
hustler, to stand embalmment among
the mummies of Capitol Hill. But as
secretary of the treasury, MI. Lowry
would be a success in the broadcast
sense. In that position he would find
full scope for his splendid ability and
unlimited energy. Hard work agrees
with him. He fattens OF wrestling with
the most difficult problems. He is not
a theorist OF any subject, but is thor
oughly practicalin all his undertakings.
He knows a good deal about finance and
financiering, but he doesn't know it all.
and be knows he doesn't. In fact, he
doesn't know that he knows as much as
he does know, or as other people know
that he knows. In other words, he never
OverrateS himself, but would be more
likely to make the opposite mistake.
But what he does not know already
about finances he has the faculty of
learning about as quickly as any other
man. The GLOBE most heartily in
dorses THOMAS LOWRY for secretary Of
the treasury; not because he is a Min
nesotian nor because he is a Western
man, but its endorsements placed upon
the broad ground of his eminent ability
and fitness. He is the peer of any man
in the nation for the place.

THIS YEARS VOTING.

This year will not compare with the
past Il as a period for the illustration
of the popular temper in state elections,
but there are enough of them to cast
rays of light into the national contest a
year later. New York will elect a gov
ernOr, general assembly, and state Off
GERS. So will Ohio, Iowa and Massa-
chusetts. At the most recent elections
In each of these states the Democrats
have chosen the governor, but, except
in New York, failed to carry any of the
Dther state officers. They have small
majorities in the legislatures of Ohio
and New York, and have secured the
BenatorS in each. The indications now
are that the Democrats will retain their
governors i'll Massachusetts and Iowa,
and probably gain the legislature in the
latter.
New York may be expected to give so
emphatic a majority for the Democrats
as to leave no doubt as to its status in the
presidential contest. If Iowa and Mas
sachusetts meet expectations this year
they may fairly be classed as doubtful
Ill the later general contest. Ohio
elected some minor state officers last
fall, and was about the only important
state in which the Republicans made
gains. What it will do this year is not
evident to the impartial observer. The

Work.

EducatiOnists Ask for a Big APP
preparation to Extend Their
Work.
At a joint meeting of the senate and
house committees on education last
night, Senate File No. 129 was under
discussion. This bill relates to the CON
duet of state high schools. Prof. Ran
kin. of the Red Wing high school. ex-
planned that the estimate of the public
nigh school is that it is the peo-
pies college. 1t has a work
to do that cannot be done
by the specialists of the state univer-
sity. 1t is Of t~ranscendental interest
that gentlemen shall be appointed to
the high school board who are in direct
sympathy with the local boards.
President Northrop, of the state uni
versity, fully concurred in this posi-
ton.
Prof. Kiehle. the state superintendent
of public instruction, explained that
one of the most important features of
the measure is the prospect of eX-
tending the system further to-
wards the frontier. High schools
are needed in a great many
new localities. About % per cent of
the pupils in the present high schools
came from the rural schools to avail
themselves OF the opportunity to secure
the advantages of free tuition. 1t is
particularly desired that an inspector
frequently visit the schools. not to
direct but to inspire and aid the teachers
and the local boards.
Prof. Parr. of st. Cloud, stated that
many who are college graduates go to
the high school to brush up preparatory
to becoming teachers. No school, he.
urged, can attain a standard above the
public sentiment of the community in
which the school exists, ana therefore it
is imperative to inspire a higher senti-
ment.
The object is to appropriate $500 addi-
tional to aid each high school that will
apply for it. This is i intended only to
aid the poorer schools. A total Of S33, 900
is asked to be appropriated to meet this
demand.
Prof. Kiehle said that half the COM
mon school teachers in the state only
hold a third grade certificate, and in
his opinion these ought not to be al
lowed to teach a dog. He would like to
see a provision compelling all teachers
to be capable of holding at
least a second grade certifi--
cate. The point being raised that
in some instances better results were
reached by teachers who had never
attended a high school nor a normal
school, Prof. Kiehle made the COMPARE
son that some doctors who never gradu-
ated from a medical college had been
known to have better success than some
graduates, but the rule is the reverse.
The delegation from st. Cloud pre-
Sented a bill that the eleventh grade be
the lowest in the normal schools.
The committee adjourned without
any action being taken.

SHORT sENArE SESSION.

The Copyright Bill Goes Over
Pending Senator Sherman's Re
turn.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-ln the senate
the credentials of Mr.. Teller for his
new senatorial term, beginning March 4
next, were presented by Mr.. WOlcott
and placed on file. The senate bill
establishing pier lights at Ahnapee.
Wis, was reported and passed. The
senate bill to provide for the creation
of a fourth judicial district in Utah was
passed. At - o'clock the senate re-
sumed consideration of the copyright
bill, the pending question being the
amendment offered by Mr.. Sherman to
strike out the word ''prohibited'' and
insert the words ''subject to the duties
provided by law" so that foreign cop
les OF books patented in the United
States shall not be prohibited, but shall
be subject to tariff duties. As Senator
Sherman was absent, the copyright bill
was laid aside informally, and the SEN
ate proceeded to the consideration of
the District Of Columbia appropriation
bill. 1t was amended and passed. The
following bills, among others, were
/ taken from tine calendar and passed:
Senate bill for the relief of settlers
upon certain lands in Iowa; senate bill
to increase by $450,000 the limit for the
purchase of a site for a public building
at San Francisco, Cal. a large number
Of pension bills also passed, including
the following: House bill granting a
| pension of 500 a month to Gen. n. p.
Banks ian amendment was offered by
Mr.. Dawes to make it 5000, but owing to
the opposition exhibited he withdrew
the a%mendment). The bill granting a
pension to Mary Ann Dougherty having
been reached, Mr.. Cockrell objected TO
it, and Mr.. Blair moved that it be con-
sidered, Notwithstanding the objection.
Thereupon Mr.. Cockrell declared that
the bill could not be passed, as there
never was such an Infamous fraud, add
ing that the woman was a drunken de-
bauchee. Mr.. Blair contented himself
with scowling at the Missouri senator
and withdrawing his motion. The fol-
lowing bills were also passed: Senate
joint resolution to apply the aDprOpria-
ton for a light house on SimOns' reef.
Lake Michigan, in payment for three
lightshipS in lieu thereof. Senate bill

affair. The attendance will be confined

THAT PEACE TABLEAU.

That was admirable advice the Sage
of Louisville gave Gov. HILL, of New
York. 1t was the admOnition of a
friend. If it was inspired by an inAu-
entail body of Democrats, including
Senator GORNGAN, who has not been
listed as a personal champion of the last
president, it has pleasant promise for
unity and harmony in the Democratic
party, whoever may be Its standard
berrer in the next national contest. Its
public appearance at this time, some
months after it was written, is designed
to be explanatory of the acceptance of
the New York senatOrShip by Gov.
HILL, and the little scene at the New
York banquet. where they grasped very
cordial hands across the chaSm that
seemed to political enemies as hope
fully broadening. The tableau was not
probably an impromptu affair, but it
was creditable to both participants, and
has greatly enhanced the estimation in
which they are held by political
friends. The letter was written
soon after the November torrent,
when it seemed as if the argu-
ment OF the ballot pointed to Mr..
CLEVELAND more coDclusively than
the situation now does. 1t is not ma
terial just now whether Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND or some other nan is to be the
nominee next year. Gov. HILL could
not afford to have the voice of New
York discordant, divided or antago-
nized to the general expression of the
party. If the Democrats of the other
states come up in overwhelming columns
for Nh. CLEVELAND, Gov. Hill must
put his state i'll line. HIS personality
must be Il potent factor in the align
ment. If he has pres idential ambi-
ton for himself, it must be deferred.
The unjust imputatlon that the loss of
New York in 1888 was due to lack of
fidelity on his part must be dissipated
by conspicuous s~elf-negatlon. A seat
in the United States senate does not
suggest to the average mind any great
severity of personal denial, but
under the circumstances it had the
fetures of at least party loyalty in o
m%eritorious shape. The man who can
estimate sagacious counsel rightly and
utilize it affords one evidence of pos
Bessing the qualities that give safe con-
duct III affairs.
