THE FADING STATE.

Mr.. PoRTER's bureau has definitely
settled upon the population Of the
dreary area of sage brush and rocks
called Nevada as 1871, decrease from
60, 266 in 1850, or 261S per cent. 1t is
computed that at this rate it will be de-
populated in thirty years. This pre-
sumes that the versatile PORTER will
disappear from the census business,
which is a safe prophecy. 1t was prob
ably an oversight on his part in allow
ing the decrease now. He has shown
the mathematical ability to dc any work
he may desire. While he has charge of
the census he will not allow Nevada to
disappear from the roll of states, unless
Democrats should get possession of it and
refuse to sell the senatorial seats to San
Francisco millionaires. 1t was compiled
and admitted as state solely because
the Republicans had need of its votes,
just as Idaho with $4,000 and Wyoming
with $1,000, were last year. 1t had less
population then than is now claimed for
il. Its admission during the war was
not a war, but party necessity. The
patriotic California magnates at once
bought up the senatorshlps and have re
newed the deal at the various times
since. They can afford to keep enough
people there to hold the state plant.
About One-third the population of st.
Paul have two senators and represent
alive. 1t is farce upon q representa-
tive government. But then it is needed
TO keen the DemOcratS from getting a
majority in the senate, just as the rotten
borough system in Connecticut keeps
the Democrats out, when they do the
most voting, and deprives them of the
two senators. 1t is as easy to admit a
state as it is to get married. In the lat
ter case a divorce can readily be haze,
but no way has been devised to get a
state out of the Union, even if the
people all leave 1t.

VIEWS OF STATE EDITORS.

Applying the current slang phrase to
Minneapolis and the Republican Ma
tional convention, Minneapolis is in it.
Alexandria Post.
Talk of the union of st. Paul and
Minneapolis is being revived. Less talk
and more union would more readily ell
nance the price of property in both
cities.-St. Peter Herald.
The manner in which Minneapolis
handles the crowds at the Endeavor
convention will be a guide to its ability
to manage the bigger crowd next year
at the national cOnvention.-Appleton
Press.
The fellow who says that the Farmers
Alliance doesn't amount to anything as
a political factor is getting difficult to
find. and before long the dime museum
managers will be after him to exhibit
him among the other freaks.
A number of newspapers are advocat
ing the marriage of st. Paul and Min
neapolis. 1t would be we'll to have the
event take place before the next gen.

then have city ranking fourth or fifth
in size in the United States.-W adena

Ever and anon the ghost of ex-Gov.
A. r. McGill hobs up as candidate for
governor. McGill is dead politically,
but his ghost. like Banquo's, will not
down, and his friends still have hopes
of seeing him in the executive chair

The Republican papers were awf ully
worked up last week with the fear that
that there was going to be a split in the

a victory not afar off in this state, and
they are just organizing to make that

one who is familiar with the way III

TWO NOT ALIKE.

The present executive of South Caro-
lima, Gov TILLMAN, is, like the eminent
local statesman, the Sage of Nninger,
refOrmer on agricultural lines. There
are various points OF similarity between
the gentlemen, historically and other
wise. There are contrasts, too. As an
Illustration, Gov. TILLMAN. before his
elevation, found one of his most effective
and active hobbies in denOuncing men,
bers of the legislature and state officials
for accepting railroad passes. Had it
been intimated to him before the cleo
ton that he would come into the list Of
those he denounced. he would probably
have insisted on making hasty corpse
of the defamer, or have responded like
one of old, IAN l dog, to do this
thing?" But he is now governor, and
rides on passes just like members of
the legislature. 1t took him a little
time to realize the economical bearings
of the thing, and he puts himself in
writing, saying to the railroad mana
gers that his first impulse was to return
the pass.
"But af er thinking over the matter l have
decided to accent it IN the spirit in which, l
am sure, you offered 1t, because you know
me too well to suppose for an instant L
could be influenced by so small thing.
| do not want to appear churlish or plea
YUM sh in mistaking courtesy for bride.
Twill, therefore, keep it and use it as &C.
casion offers"
DONNELLY, the scholar, would at
once pronounce that diaphanous. 1t
would require exhaustive mental effort
to conceive of his doing the Apologize
act in that way, and alleging that it
was ''too small a thing to influence
him." He would not lose himself in
the refinement of a courtesy that could
influence him. Whatever little varia-
lions the local patriot may indulge in
from the standards of sane political
architects, there is pride in the
belief that he is nationally con-
sstent. Not that he is monoto-
nousIy uniform in his views and con-
victions. That is the role of small
minds. He can change specifically,
but the motive force is always the same.
The contrast drawn with the weak
South Carolina man hardly needs sug
gestion. If he has held as private cit
lL0h tIIdI d P"So 10 q oilOO " bHo law
maker or official, he would not be found
as governor or legislator notifying the
railroad that his venal point was so far
above that he could safely use the free
transit as courtesy. 1t is not con-
venient to recall the position of Mr..
DoNNELLY on the pass question just
now, but. if he has directed his rhetori-
cal arrows at it, there need be no ap-
prehension that in any station he may
attain chalk marks will be found on his
hat

THE CLEMENOEAU CASE.

1t is reported that the wife of EDGAR
SALTUs has secured a decree in her ia
vor in an action brought against him for
divorce, on the ground of adultery.
SALTUs is man who writes book in
which asubStructure of filth Is veneered
by an affected and pedantic display of
cheap learning, and this incident in his
career is an important contribution to
the science OF ethics. The interested
can take their choice between either
one of the two positions, and infer that
the mind which revels in foul imagin-
ingsis bound to drive its owner to sin of
a still more offensive nature, or that
a man who is willing to make living
by pandering to the popular taste for
prurient literature is of necessity rotten
in himself. and as foul in conduct as
the characters whom he pictures in his
books.
In this connection the GLOBE is graft
fed to notice denial of the report that
Manager Lift proposes to give the
people of Minneapolis an opportunity
to see The Clemenceau Case" This
paper IS interested in the movement for
he consolidation of these two cities, but
If there is o;ng to be wedding it in
sists that one at least of the contracting
parties shall come to the union uncon-
tamIpated and free from reproach.
Minneapolis has thus far kept itself I'M
spotted from the world, and it would be
a sad event if town which has never
had gambling den or a saloon within
its limits should at this critical period
of its progress be exposed to the con-
tamlnation of suggestive and improper
play.
Happily there is no danger of such an
experience, and while the theater-goerS
of our sister city will no longer be forced
to make the humiliating confession that
DUMAS famous drama has never been
presented on their local boards, they
can at the same time attend Its produc-
ton without a sense of shame or fear Of
decentralization. Minneapolis will see
1.-The Clemenceau Case" but in what is
known as the Boston version. Coming
in this shape, it will be quite harmless;
and unless the moral standards of the
Athens of the West are higher than
those of the Boston aldermen, it can
safely be granted a license by the pub
lie censor. The Clemenceau Case"
with its Objectionable features elimi-
mated, will be an interesting spectacle,
and will hold about the same relation
to the deadly version to which st. Paul
was subjected during the winter that
firecracker does to a Calling gun. If
Minneapolis has to have an attack from
this quarter, it is good thing that the
bembardment is to be made in the form
of all expurgated edition.

portion the congressional districts that
the Democrats could be sure of but two
out of the thirteen. although they now
have a majority, but the Democrats had
unusual strength in the legislature and
the governor. A fair measure was the
result. In Connecticut, New York,
Illinois and one or two other states no
gerrymander was possible. In Illinois
the Republicans obtained an ad-
vantage by refusing to discharge
the duty imposed by law to make
any apportionment. The state has
two additional members, and they
would go to Chicago to the advantage
of the Democrats. They will now be
chosen on the general ticket, and the
Republicans hope to carry the state.
Pennsylvania was saved from a gerry
mander by the Democratic governor.
He was fearless and frequent il the
use of the veto, having dropped it onto
more than eighty bills, mainly partisan.
Wisconsin and Michigan were in the
hands of the Democrats, and their ap-
portionments are believed to be more
equitable than the Republicans have
usually made them. The Democrats
expect to have some advantage. and
there-is more or less bowling along the
Republican lines. The difficulties in
the way of the Republicans recovering
possession of congress have multiplied
this year. 1t is reasonably certain that
it will not happen next year, if in the
decade,

THEY MAY RIDE.

Society would lose something of its
spice and variety if all people were SEN
sible and there were no Don Quixotes
to fight windmills. An evangelist of
some limited note has given most of his
life in Illinois to butting his head
against the Masonic order, and others
like him hold conventions at stated pc
RODS to descant upon the iniquity of
the secret order. They provoke no re-
tort and leave no marks upon the an
cient institution. 1t seems to interest
them and troubles no one. A learned
divine in New York state. Bishop COKE,
is turning his erudition and ridicule
upon the female bicycle rider. In an adj
dress at a ladies' seminary at Buffalo he
warned the young women never to in
dulge in this growing method of transit
ana recreation. His climax of depreca-
ton was reached when he likened the
young woman on the bicycle to san old
woman on broomstick." There might
be some inquiry as to where the esthetic
divine had become familiar with the
sight of old women riding broomsticks.
The witches are understood to have
done their travelling somewhat in that
ungracefui way, but they went out of
business before the time of the bishop.
fit is true that it is unbecoming and
not pleasing in masculine eyes for
young women to ride the bicycle, the
spirit of perversity sometimes alleged of
the sex would not have exercise in this
way. But the bishop has perhaps been
unfortunate in seeing some ride who
were wanting in grace and experiences,
or some clumsy or miSchieYouS girl may
have run a wheel over his corns. But
be displays bad taste or ignorance. On
the avenues and some of the streets
of this city young women may be
seen riding the two-wheeled vehicle
almost any evening. They glide along
as rapidly and easily as the young men.
and there is no suggestion of indelieaey
or indecorum. The movement of the
feet is more rapid than in walking, but
there is nothing else to mar the seemli-
ness of the exercise. Those who think
that legs should be the property of male
riders alone may have their dainty spir-
its annoyed. But ladies who can ride
well should no more hesitate to ride the
bicycle in public than to walk, ride
horseback or dance. 1t is becoming
and useful exercise. Some of the ladies
carry packages often, showing that it is
a business matter as we'll as healhful
exercise. No doubt the time will
come when even the heightened
ladies will make their afternoon
calls on the bicycle. Some cad

THE HARRISON VIEW.

1t has sometimes been alleged that
wire between the White house and Bar
Harbor Is kept hot with the confidential
exchanges of views and personal endear-
ments of the president and secretary.
In the piscatory season this may be
called fishy. The indications are that
the Damon and Pythias act has no
place but in the picturesque dreams of
partIsanS. Evidences appear to the dis
corning that open hOsti tiles can only be
averted by the positive refusal of
BLAINE to be used by the gang that
would make him their ladder to the Off
ciaI fruitage. The New York Mail and
Express is a HARRISON organ, and is
understood to sustain somewhat conf
dental relations. 1t attacks BLAINE
with evidence of depressed feeling I'M
der the guise of special correspond
ence from Bar HarbOr. Probably that
location is selected to give additional
force to imputations that Mr.. BLAINE
can be conveniently sick. The head
lines suggest diplomatic Illness" a
shamming, leaving the president, after
the exhaustion of long journey, to do
Mr.. BLAINE'S work in addition to his
own.
But it seems that the presidents return to
the capital operated like pneumatic press
ure in a pOpgun upon Mr.. BLAINE and sent
him flying nOrthWard TO Bar HarbOr from
New York. instead of operating upon him
like magnet to draw him southwark to
Washington"
The article then enumerates a dozen
or mole active Republicans like Gov.
ALGER, Senators PLATT and WOLCoTT,
STEVE ELKINs, Guillotine GARRISON
and DE Young, of California, as
combination that has determined to use
BLAINE's name next year as its can
didate. All they demand of him is not
to stop them by refusal to take the
nomination. They are willing for him
10 stay at Bar Harbor all the campaign
as mum as an oyster, not opening his
mouth or touching a pen. They will
guarantee his election. In fact, if he
does not feel like work if elected. they
will relieve him and run the Office for
him. If he dies, ALGER, who is to be
vice president, will be on hand most
cheerfully, and the Offices and country
safe. MORTON is to be fed with taffy
and fooled. The picture is filed with
PLATT, EI.KINs, DE Young and CLARK
son in the cabinet. How far BLAINE
is apprlSed of the programme is not in
dictated. They have. perhaps. counted
too much on his acquiescence. 1t is he
