THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

Ii WILLIAM X. MERRIAM wants to be
vice president, there is no Republican
whom the GLOBE would rather see in
the position. The only trouble is that
he is worthy of better things. The vice
presidency is very humble and insig-
niflcant Office, and men of active tenn
permanent from the beginning of our
history have chafed under its obscurity.
JOHN ADAMS characterized it as
dreary marJyrdom, and JOHN c. CAL
HOUN resigned the honor to take a seat
on the floor of the senate. Men of as
conspicuous ability as HENRY WILSON
and THOMAS A. HENDRICKS were lost
to popular notice by their successful
quest of the Office, and there are
probably not hundred scholars in the
country who could name on a wager
full list of the vice presidents of the
United States.
The GLOBE cannot see why Mr.. MER-
RAM should care for the place: but it
repeats that, if he does care for it. and
any Republican is to have it, he is enti-
tied to it as much as any one who can
be suggested. Everybody who knows
him well knows that he would dis
charge its duties acceptably. He made
an excellent showing when he was
speaker of our lower house, and would
be dignified and intelligent presiding
officer of the senate. He would fill the
social requirements of the post with per-
lection, and during the campaign would
add mach strength to any ticket on
which he appeared. Whoever meets
the governor and shakes hands with
him likes him, and he has a clear record
in public and private life.
The only opportunity vice president
ever has to show his caliber is in the

VILLAINOUs BUSINESS.

The arrest last evening of a number
of fire bugs, operating at the time in
West st. Paul, was a commendable
piece Of detective work. 1t will serve,
probably, to break up a gang of as dan
gerOus characters as could well be i'm
ported from other cities. One of them,
at least, halls from Chicago, where, to
use his own expressive parlance, he
''made lots of stuff settin' fires" 1t is
likely that. in his reflective moments,
he will readily concede that Chicago
offers better field for his peculiar in
dustry than does ST. Paul. For several
months it has been suspected that an
organized gang of conspiratorS were at
work within the limits of this city, firing
buildings in order to secure the insur-
ance. The many fires in the Midway
district in the early fall, some
of them of most mysterious
character, will be recalled by this
incident. In the case of attempted
arson last night, it appears that it was
sought to secure only the insurance Oh
the furniture. The plan, desperate
one, was skillfullv manipulated in its de-
IdlIo. dIOs Uul IoI ample pIoNiSlOu LldUe
by the detectives, would have been sue
cessful. Another mysterious blaze
would have gone into the fire history of
st. Paul, and the conspiratorS would
have pocketed the insurance. This
prompt exposure will, in all likelihood,
break up the business for all time to
come. ST. Paul authorities are in no
mood to allow such a phase of criminal
ity to exist within our limits. Fire-bug
immigrants can consider last nights
work as sufficient notice to quit the
town, and seek for more favorable pick
'ug in Chicago or elsewhere.

No city can furnish equal comforts

st. Paul is after the Democratic ma

will only give her the opportunity she
will prove equal to the occasion, besides
the trip to Minnesota in June and July

MARKET HALL

The citizens Of st. Paul can accom-
plIsh a great deal in short time, and
now, in less than a week after the con-
ventiOn scheme was first preached, we
have devised and perfected a plan
under which a suitable auditorium will
be secured before the summer comes.
The market house has never been a
paying investment for the city, or an
ornament to the quarter in which it is
situated. In very few years the gath
ering Of hucksterS in the immediate
neighbOrho0d of our new federal build
ing will be offensive to the general
sense of prODriety and beauty, and if it
is part Of the municipalities duty to
furnish stalls for produce dealers and
peddlers, it will be compelled to select
some less frequented site for the pur-
pose. There are already two or three
streets in the city on which there are
many vacant stores. These have been
abandoned because more suitable struct-
ures, with modern Improvements, have
been provided for the firms which for
merly occupied them. Should the ten
ants of the market house be dis
possessed, they could find adequate and
satisfactory stands for their business in
some of these at low rental, and we
should at one time benefit large class
Of our property owners and rid our
selves of an unSightly and improbable
building, about which there are many
complaints.
This all depends upon the feasibility
Of remodeling the market house for
use as a public hall. Experts opinions
on this point will have to be procured,
and, until they have been so procured,
the question cannot be considered or
settled. But the outlook is very favor
able to their reporting that the plan can
be carried through. A central audi
Eorium capable of seating 10000 people,
with wings which can be shut off and
used for smaller gatherings, is the sort
Of an edifice we are looking for. A lay
mans glance at the four walls as they
stand at the corner of WabaSha and
Seventh streets, with the adjoining
paSSageWay available for building pur-
poses, would lead him to believe that
we have here all the space that can be
required, and part of the structure to
start with. The council is willing to
appropriate the money if it appears ca
pable of accomplishing the end in view.
and popular opinion thoroughly indorSeS
its course. 1t seems as though al
ready the chief difficulty in the way of
getting the Democratic convention had
been removed.

event of the presidents death. Such a
thing has not occurred very often, and
in some instances the result has been
happy one, and in other instances very
disastrous. WILLARD FILLMORE, the
Buffalo weaver, made an admirable
chief executive, and so did CHESTER A.
ARTHUR, who had nopreparatory train
ing except what he got as Republican
boss of New York city. JOHN TYLER,
who was counted a gentleman, fell far
short of the nations ideal and ANDREW
JOHNSON, the Tennessee tailor, devel-
oped unfortunate habits of character
and method which made his admins
tration a turbulent and unsatisfactory
one. The tendency hereafter will prob
ably be to take more care in the selec-
ton of candidates for this post, and this
will be especially so next year if Mr..
BLAINE, with his precarious health, is
to head his party's ticket.
Should Mr.. MERRIAM by any chance
become president, barring the fact that
he is a Republican, he would make a
good one. He has ability of an extra
ordinary kind, which shows itself espe-
cially in the line of executive action.
He is intelligent. discreet, painstaking,
broad-minded, quick. careful to consult
the best authorities in cases of doubt;
vigorous. clear-headed, self-reliant,
brave, direct and serious. His views
On contemporary questions are liberal
and moderate. He has no sympathy
with extreme measures. and is ready to
listen to suggestions from every quar-
ter. The poorest man in the land can
secure his ear for righteous cause,
and the most powerful of our modern
barons is not able to control him. If
we are going to have a Republican
vice president or president. let him be
a genial. whole-SOuled citizen like

RUSSIAN CRUELTY.

If the Russian government is half as
tyrannical and heartless as accounts
FROM that region usually indicate. there
need be little Struggling of the Shout
ders and deprecatory glances toward
revOlutionists, refOrmers, nibilIsts, Or
any other class in that country who
would overthrow and rebuild in the gov
eminent places. If half the stories of
the treatment of the Jews are even
scantily mixed with the truth, all the
maledicti0nS in the Hebrew calendar
should be made litany. The man
aging powers there are evidently giving
more attention to the army than
to the starving people. Military
operations must go on, and tn
railroads be used for them, whatever
the fate of the suffering people. As
matter of humanity, it is to be hoped in
justice is done the officials in some of the
representations. But writer's from Rus
STA insist that, while thousands in some
districts are starving, in others there is
all abundance, and much of it is wasted
because the means of transportation are
monopoliZed for the uses of the army.
On section OF railroad but thirty miles
long it is alleged that 1000 cars Of grain
are blockaded. This seems Incredible,
and would be in any other land. If the
eyes of the outside world could be kept
from seeing, it is probable there would
be little official concern if few million
of the common people did perish of
starvation. DespOtism naturally tends
to the disregard of life and suffering.

SIR EDWIN ARNOLD, who is soon to
be in st. Paul, has high appreciation
of the enterprise of newspaper workers;
and if the story he credits to the Prince
of Wales is reliable, the English report
ers come nearer the American standard
as hustlers than has been supposed.
When the prince was told that reporters
were trying to gain admission to re-
ception at Marlborough house, he said:
''ShOw them in, for if they do not come
in at the door they will come in at the
Ventilator."
