No Girl Is Really Beautiful Whose Actions

Probably there is not young girl

But as we must all be content with the

With a complexion as soft and exquisite
as a rose petal, and with form as per

really beautiful who has not gentle,

it has a cloak well-nigh as voluminons
as that of charity. From the heart pro-
ceedeth refinement and gentility, and
''Out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh."
If kindly feelings are cultivated, they
will prevent their possessor from hurt
ing others when keen intellect or
bright wit finds opportunity for sarcas-
tic or ill-natured speeches, or for those
numberless rude actions which speak
louder than words. Temper curbed
gives dignity Of manner, and calm
mind makes its possessor gentle in
speech and act.
There is a certain polish OF manner

but this polish must be distinguished

THE LIEN LAW.

The vigorous criticism of our mechan-
ics' law which Judge CAVITY, of Mime
apClis. gave the readers of the GLOBE
yesterday morning. is true in its every
word. This paper, long before the last
legislative session began, called atten-
ton to this iniquitous statute. and dur
ing the session again and again it urged
our representatives to stop wasting
their time over trifieS and tn do some
thing which would remedy this serious
evil. it was like talking to the wind,
however, to address words of counsel to
body so enamored of regenerating
society from the bottom that it had no
stomach for details. The theft of hon.
est mems labor and goods which is pos
sible under the lien law of 1889 is as un-
restrained as Sicilian brigandage. No
man with claim less than $500 can af
ford to enforce it against building
in this state, and If he attempts it
he will find before he gets TO the
end that it woul1 have been money in
his pocket to have charged his account
up to profit and loss. There is no use
in discussing at this day whether or not
tAC OAiIl>AOtt.it Jill was NllCuidlCu "
better things. 1t is dead at the hands
OF Mr.. MERRIAM. But how ninety days
were allowed TO go by, by men especially
selected to do something for the poor
and oppressed, without this subject re-
ceiying serious consideration, would be
a mystery to any one who did not un-
derstand the incompetency of legis-
lators. In the hurry of the last day,
the senate, which had no end of time to
debate the MCHALE bill and the HoMPE
newspa per bill. ana other trivial meas
ures of this sort, took up this, one of the
chiefest of matters which could have
engaged its attention. There was gross
mismanagement somewhere, and it is no
ones fault except the legislatures that
their enactment went to the governor in
such shape that ne considered it his
duty to veto it.

DAVID A. WELLS refers TO paragraph
in this connection that enlivens the
business life of the Standard Oil COM
pany to the extent of S1,590.000 year.
The Standard exports more than 500,-
100000 gallons of Oil year, and uses
10000, 900 cans made of English tin. A
special provision of the act, put in at
the demand of the Standard Oil com
pany, allows rebate of all the duty,
except l per cent, OIL tin plate when
shipped abroad as cahs, whether empty
or filled. According to Mr.. WELLS. the
great oil trust served a notice on Mr..
MCKINLEY that, unless this bounty were
granted it, the bill should not be al
lowed to pass. 1t is a new provision
not found in any former tariff bill. put
in to protect the toddling industrial in
tant, the Standard Oil company. 1t has
its tin plates for export at s.. 81 per box,
while the home consumers pay Sc per
box, The Standard Oil company will
not certainly buy this large portion of
its tinware from the American produc-
ton. OF course, the trust is enabled
to sell its product at lower prices abroad
than at home. This is not an eXcep-
tional fact, however. 1t is understood
that many American manufactures are
sold cheaper to customers in foreign
parts than at home. Protection dis
eliminates against the home consumers.

Keyes to the journal.

am quoted i'll a recent issue of the
Minneapolis Journal as saying that l
knew my ballot law was void, as it
passed the house. and it is intimated
that Mr. Tripp, of Hennepin, was de-
ceived by Mr.. Stevens and myself. Such
statement is entirely untrue. | never
saw any reporter and never thought of
deceivlng anybody. Every one knows
that | was one who. together with Mr.
Iripp, proposed to have the bill re-
ferred to Senator Leavitt for amend
meut in the particular complained of,
and Senator Leavitt will remember that
l handed him the proposed amend
ment. If there is any fault anywhere
it is to be found with the Democratic
and Republican senators from Hennepin
county. Let me say frankly that there
was no other representative from Hen
nepin county beside Mr.. Tripp to whom
| would have conceded the amendment
made to my bill i'll the house, and had
the other members done as well as he
the matter might have been seasonably
FIX e1 in the senate.
When, however, the bill came back TO
the house it was too late, as | believed,
and subsequent events fully confirmed
my Judgment to further amend and con-
Sider tue matter, ana therefore. all
that was left to do was to concur in the
senate amendments.
Mr.. Tripp is a friend of mine, a gentle
man, and can be relied on, and if his
constituents were truthfully informed
they would respect him more highly
tharsever for his fearless aud straight
forward course in this and all other
matters in the last legislature. Weak
ness always lends itself to detraction.
Please publish this as the truth.

HER FIFTEEN MINUTES.

at exactly fifteen minutes to eight
His step was heard at the garden gate
And then, with heart that was lfgh: and gay,
He laughed to himself in a jubilant way,
And rang the bell for the maiden trim
Who'd promised to go to the play with him
And told the servant, with joyous air,
To say there were fifteen minutes to spare,
And then for fifteen minutes he sat
In the parlor dim and held his hat,
And waited and sighed for the maiden trim
Who d promised TO go to the play with him.
Until. as the clock overhead struck eight
He u.uttered. Great Scott, it's getting late -
And took turn on the parlor floor,
And waited for fifteen minutes more;
And swore to himself in dubious woy,
And thought of those seats in the front par
quet.
And midnight came, and the break of day;
That day and the next, and the next one, too.
He sat and waited the long hours through.
Then time flew on and the years sped by,
And still he sat, with expectant eye
And lengthening beard. for the maiden trim
Who'd promised TO go TO the play with him !;
Until one night, as with palsied hand
He sat in a chair, for he couldn't stand,
And drummed in an aimless way. she came
And opened the door with her withered
frame.
The moons bright rays touched the silve1ed
hair
OF her who had fifteen minutes to spare.
And then in tones that he strained to hear
She spoke, and she said: Are you ready,

THIRD PARTY,s CHANCE,

If predictions are of value, the future
of the present Alliance, or third party.
movement is not hopeful. 1t is very
clear to the Republican seers that it
''has seen its best days" and the ele-
ments will drift to their folds in the
early time. The prophetic role is as
sumed by the organs Severally, and the
results of efforts to ignore their direc-
tion painfully pictured. 1t is shown
that third parties, although at times
precociOus and buoyant, are always
brief in duration. The immediate pur-
pose with these partisans is to break
down monument that seems to them
to endanger their success. They would
demoraliZe and discourage those who
are taking the side path. Senator Ed
MUNDs. ex-senator INGALLS, and
other lights have voiced apprehen-
siOns from this quarter in the contest
next year. They are probably correct
in assuming that no third party is likely
to be durable. That is the history of
the movements that in the past have
organized outside the two great political
forces. In the recent voting in Ger
many, in the district in which BISMARCK
was candidate, several parties of large
strength appeared. In fact, parties are
so numerous in the politics of the
country that it is difficult for all out
slider to recall their designations. At
the second election 1t is understood that
a plurality will elect, and the vote will
be concentrated on the two stronger
Candidates. Side parties flourish most
where they come into the count to de
feat an election. 1t requires peculiar
| mental constitution TO induce men
TO vote in the air as steady and per
manent thing. Yet the side parties
often succeed in their chief aims by i'm
| pressing their spirit upon the other par
ties. The Alliance party has not ac-
complished great deal directly, but it
| has induced industrious inquiry among
the directing agencies of the old parties
as to how to placate its imperative
moods. There is apprehension of it as
disturbing factor in the national con-
test. 1t is essentially protest against
the Republican policies and methods.
| SO far as its aims are feasible and salu-
tary, they are in substantial accord with
those of the Democratic party. The
third party men usually idealize into the
unattainable, but have suggestive
potency. The new organization is not
likely to do the McGinty act to sub
serve the convenience of either or
both of the old parties. Ii will be
in the field in 1892. and if it can appro-
pirate the silver issue. as is quite prob
able, it may take on proportions that
cannot now be outlined. The Demo-
Gratis and Republicans will be aligned
on substantially the same lines as in the
last national contest. Tariff reform will
be the central issue. This must be the
chief line of division until McKinleyism
is reduced to a hateful "Reminiscences

hopefully inaugurated for relieving oc-

position by the appointment of DR.. ".
w. BARRETT, a brother of j. 0. BAR
RETT, secretary of the forestry associa-
ton in this state, who has been doing
earnest work to create interest in the
subject. DR.. BARRETT is an intelligent
enthusiast on the objects indicated in
his office. and hopeful results may be
anticipated. He has spent the past few
days in st. Paul in connection with the
business of his department. and reports
a gratifying degree of interest exhIb-
tied in his state in the objects sought to
be promoted. He believes that coop
Grafton in the forestry work with the
association in this state will facilitate
operations in both, and for this his i'm
mediate efforts are directed. In his
view. the principal thing nee ded in his
country is sufficient moisture, but the

BENJAMIN HARRISON.

The presidents speeches on his trip to
the Pacific make bright and entertaining
reading, aud If he is as felicitous in his
delivery as he is in his dlction the peo-
pie who have welcomed him at one place
ana another have no reason to think
their hospitality wasted on a churl. He
turns sentence with mach neatness.
he tiatterS his hosts with a gentlemanlv
degree OF self-restraint, and he occa-
siOnally breaks forth into flash of wit
Or pleasantly, adapted to the surround
lngS. which is neither so good that it is
not appreciated nor so bad as to be un-
worthy of him.
Mr.. HARRISON is undoubtedly making
I'll agreeable impression, both on the
people who meet him and on those who
read about his movements. The GLOBE
is glad of this, because it has the pro-
fouEdest respect for the president of
the United States, and it would be very
sorry if any incumbent of chat exalted
position should so carry himself before
our citizens that they would think
lightly of the Office because they thought
lightly OF the man who held it.
There is nothing to be said against
Mr. HARRISON on the score of general
respectabiity. lie is fairly good law
yer, who has now had quite a deal of ex-
perience in public affairs. He is pecu-
niarily honest, beyond suspicion in his
private life, laW-abiding citizen and a
courteous gentleman. All these things,
however, are true, not only Of him, but
Of millions of other men in.thiS country:
and any one of them is as fit for the
chief magistIacy of the greatest country
in the world as he is.
The trouble with Mr. HARRISON is
that he is not capable of great thought.
or even capable of conceiving himself
as capable of it. His caliber is small.
and he cannot rise to any heights above
the conventional and the ordinary. He
can discharge the routine duties of his
position without discredit, but he could
never take the initiative in great con-
strnctive work IN statecraft. The
country will survive an administration
such as he gives it, just as it survived
the years when JAMES H. POLK,
FRANKLIN PIERCE and RUTHERFORD
b. HAYES. his predecessors of the same
stamp, held the reins of government.
Such periods IN the life of a nation are
like the idle epochs in mans life when
he makes no progress. They are not
necessarily fatal, but they are filled with
lost opportunities. and the lives of men
and states are so short that it is too bad
10 have them go by without their being
up and doing.
