DOUBTFUL POLICY.

The larger house of the Michigan leg
iSiature has passed the bill to allow the
presidential electors 10 be chosen by
congressional districts. 1t is not alto
gether certain that the bill will 90
through the senate and become 4 law.
but the indications are that way. In
the hOnse it had every Democratic vote
in favor and all the republicans
against. The party vote IN the senate
IS sufficient for its passage there No
reason appears for the drawing OF the
party lines and bringing to its support
The full Democratic vote unless it was
the intention to pass it in both houses.
Should it become law in Michigan. it
Is still more likely to be enacted in Wis
consin. 1t is bitterly opposed by the Re-
publicans in Michigan. They cannot af-
ford to have it adopted i'll two or
three prominent states that have been
steadily Republican in the national con-
test, for that would make it impossible
to construct any electoral table that
would afford a plausible relief from
utter hopelessnesS in the canvass. 1t
would be dreary work for the FLANA-
CANS to engage in campaign that
could not possibly afford any rewards.
There may not be any great amount of
sincerity, but there is force to the OBJ
lection that the system offers additional
inducement TO partisans to gerryman-
der. That is the most plausible argu-
ment in opposition. 1t should be re-
membered that these are shifting times
in politics, and bad presidents are
likely to be followed by the other party
when it has the power. 1t is good
time for the exercise of sound princi-
pies and display of fairness by parties.

DOUBTING BONES.

The woman suffrage cause in South
Dakota was snatched bald-headed, as it
were, when SUSAN B. ANTHONY and
MARIETTA BONES had their tiff last
year. 1t was cherished hope that the
airing given their grievances i'll the ma
tional suffrage convention at Washing
ton would induce Osculatory restoration
of relations and give the common cause
chance. This fond anticipation has
come to grief. MARIETTA has held the
Dakota field and brooded over the mat
Ter until she is upon the point of abso-
lutely losing faith In the cause. She
says:
1.-THE discoveries have made in the
W. r. c. have really shaken my faith in
the equal suffrage question. l am not
yet convinced that women are capable
of voting"
1t would be impertinent to inquire as
to the character of the discoveries she
has made. 1t is sufficient to know that
one of the veteran and loQuacious
eyangelists of the cause has turned
away from it. No prudent man, how
ever, will accept her doubt that women
are capable of voting.''

NO POLITICS IN THEIRS.

JERRY SIMPSON and other evangelists
of the Alliance, politically, recently in
vaded New England with their nara
tives. They found that the farmers had
organizations. but confined them to
spheres not involving political action.
and were slow to catch on TO the new
faith. The invasion extended as far
north as the capital of New Hampshire.
the home of BILL CHANDLER, who had
nticed them there. They found that
they were the victims of the willy trick
ster, who has lost his grip on the Re-
publican party, and was willing to sac
ritice it to hold his power. They leftin
disgust when they found the use to
which they were being put. CHANDLER
is decaying demagogue. and his insti-
CATION of a reform movement would
naturally kill it where he is known.
The New England farmers are slow and
conservative, and really but truck pro-
ducers for the towns. They will give
small support to any new political
movement.

LET HIM SPEAK OUT.

IL GOV. MERRIAM had any reasons
for vetOing the Minneapolis charter
he owes it to himself to make them
public. II is impossible that he disap-
proves of this measure because it had
not been submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie to be affected by it. If this was the
true ground. he has been false to his
duty in signing the BELL charter for
St. Paul and the great mass OF local
bills Whichiia received his signature
at this and the last session of the legis-
lature.
If Mr.. MERRIAM vetoed the Minneap-
Oils charter on partisan grounds. then he
can only reconcile his course with his
oath of Office by taking the position that
any measure advocated by Democrats
and opposed by Republicans is neces
sarily bad. If this is his attitude, he
ceases to be governor of the state
of Minnesota and becomes the hired
tool of a faction. He steps down from
the plane of trusted and hOnored
public officer, entitled to the re-
spectful consideration OF men of ev
cry political faith, and allies himself
with the heelerS who have no patriotism
outside of partisan triumph attended
with spoils.
The GLOBE is a tair-minded paper,
which has never faltered in measuring
the governors acts and those of every
other occupant of high official position
by the impersonal standard of what it
believed the public interest demanded.
If his creed is in conflict with this
method, the GLOBE is willing to adapt
its treatment of him to his desires. If
lie thinks it right as the head of great
commonwealth to use his power not for
the general good, but to help his party
friends, he must be very much disap-
pointed that partisan newspaper, as
the GLOBE avowedly is, does not greet
him daily with assaults on his personal
character and with sneers about his in
tellectual equipment. If a governor
believes that everything which has the
support OF his political opponents is bad,
does he deserve any other treatment
from their hands than insult and mis-
representation? If Democracy and
evil are synonymous with him. does he
not invite every Democrat to measure
him in the same fashion. and to eXcori-
ate his every movement as the act of
thief, a liar and fool?
The GLOBE does not believe in treat
ing It's political opponents in this style.
1t begs Gov. MERRIAM, therefore, if
he had any reasons for vetoing the Min
neapolis charter except partisan ones,
to speak out and give them to the world

THE REAPER DEATH.

The reaper whose name is Death has
sharDened his scythe, and in these last
days of the legislative session is cutting
wide sWaths in the cherished plans and
pet measures of our statesmen. The
wind means sadly over the grave where
lies the bill for the taxation of mort
cages, the deformities of which the
GLOBE commented on during its short
young life. Yesterday the CURRIER
railroad bill joined the great. silent ma
jority, and will be heard of no more
again till its valiant advocate is re-
turned by his constituents to an
made a good record for himself
as man of force and honest
convictions working for an end
not yet attainabIe. There is a time
coming when railroad rates Will have
the steadlnesS and the accuracy of pub
lie tolls, and when railroad tracks will
be like any other public highways, over
which any one can pass who pays his
way, unhampered by artificial restric-
tons and regulations based on the the
DRY that these corporations should deal
with each other as do foreign and hos
tile nations. When this time comes, the
author of the CURRIEH bill will see the
fruition of bis agitation.
The $4,000 appropriation for the
worlds fair also met with discourag
ing reception at the hands of the house
yesterday afternoon; and the senate,
which is a strong body of able men,
saved itself from the humiliation of pass
ing Mr.. HOPPE remarkable bill for the
regulation of the public press. The
GLOBE has purposely refrained from
commenting on this measure while it
has been under consideration. 1t was
impossible to speak of it seriously, and
the fiippancies which it suggested were
TOO weak and obvious to he worthy Of
perpetratiOn. 1t made it a miSdemeanor
for anybody to publish an article of any
sort rejecting on the character of
any human being, living or dead.
unless the article were accompanied
by the name of the author. This
would have made it criminal Of
tense to print the book of Job or the
Acts of the Apostles, which are full of
NhieiNioiuS VI Il pCO-
pie, and the authorship of which has
thus far escaped the research of the
protoundeSt scholars. At least thirty
days in the workhouSe awaited the
wretch who should publish LEAR's in
vectives against his ungrateful off
spring because, in spite of Mr.. DoNNEL-
LY'S efforts to dispel their ignorance,
there are still some benighted people
who do not know that FRANCIS BACON
was their author.
The whole idea was too pueriIe to
take the attention of the intelligent
gentleman who debated it. 1t was to
be classed with Mr.. MCHALE's pro-
posed restriction on the freedom of the
ballet. 1t does not make the slightest
difference whether such bills pass or do
not pass. No attention would be paid

confidently relied on.
