II the people of Minnesota had any
misgivings as to the outcome Of the
work Of the legislature now on the
eve Of adjournment and dissolution,
what will they say as TO the actual re-
suits. The campaign cry against the
Republican party last year was that
it must be displaced from power be
cause Of its extravaganza and want Of
regard for the material interests Of
the State. To a certain extent the
people voted for a change. A legisla-
ture that had stood Republican for
many years was transformed into an
amalgamated Democratic Alliance
combine. The people were unmerci-
fully lied to. All sorts of promises
were made and many voters were
short-sighted enoug to believe them.
What is the result? No legislature has
convened in Minnesota since it was
admitted to statehood that called
down upon itself so much righteous
Indignation and deserved criticism.
It has failed to fulfil a single promise
made the people. The Alliance mem
bers abused the confidence of their sup
porters and lost all cast with the pee-
pie when they formed, at the outset,
a combination with the Democrats for
the sake Of controlling the offices.
Loud and pathetic cries went up that
the Republican legislature Of two
wears ago made numerous places for
help entirely unnecessary and thus
spent thousands of dollars of the peo-
pies money needlessly. In regard to
place-making this legislature has
made its predecessor eminently re-
spectacle. 1t has more useless
ornaments around the capitol
than any other legislature that ever
convened in the State. 1t was said
for campaign effect that the Republic
cans were wastefu1 with the States
money. The appropriations made by
this gasping body exceed those Of two
years ago by 50rper cent. Great re-
forms were to be inaugurated. Where
are they except in the minds OF the
men who put forth the plea for the
sole purpose of gaining votes? The
dear people have learned a lesson,
though dearly bought. They have
been convinced that the Republican
party can be trusted TO do the right
thing, and that it is bad policy to fol-
low the whimperings and winnings of
the leaders of lists and isms, and vote
men into Office totally incapable of
honestly filing the positions.

THE Reyes election bill as amended
in the Senate passed the house yester-
day and with the signature Of the
Governor will become a law. It is a
decided Improvement over the Aus
tralian law Of two years ago, in that
a cross shall be placed opposite the
name Of each candidate voted for.
The old law required only that a cross
be placed opposite the name at the
head Of the ticket and this mark indi-
Gated that all the candidates on the
ticket Of the same political persuasion
received that vote. In this age Of in
dependent voting it is proper and
right that the voter should cast his
ballot precisely as he wants ii and
have that vote counted as cast. Under
this new law voter vii place an x op-
p0site the name that he casts his bal
lot for and there can be no misunder-
standing his intent. 1t is an anomaly
worthy of note in this connection that
every Republican in the house voted
for the bib as amended except Keyes,
the father Of the original bill, while
every Democrat Save and except one
opposed it. Seventeen Alliance men
broke away from the Democratic com
bine on this important question and
voted with the Republicans. The
FREE Press is pleased to record the
fact that Messrs. Currier and knud-
son from Blue Earth were among the
number. These gentlemen, Like the
balance of their Alliance brethren,
can afford to stand the rebuke ad-
mfnistered by the St. Paul Globe in its
fever of frantic chagrin over the sue
cess Of measure calculated TO purify
the ballot and make plain the inter-
est of the voter. The Republican
party is pledged to ballot reform and
the Alliance is equally interested ID
the purity Of elections. Combined
they have performed an act In this re-
gard that does them credit.

Az Iowa man, who gives evidence Of
knowledge Of what he is talking about,
in a letter TO the Burlington HaUkeye.
says:
During last falls campaign, and for
the past two wears. the Democratic
press and politicians have been telling
The farmers that it was the yiIlianiOu,
robber tariff that was making lucent
corn and I2-cent oats. What are YOU
going TO tell them. and how do you
expect to deceive these farmers in the
future, since what you have told in
the past has proven to be false? This
Democratic doctrine that the tariff
excuse me, ] should have said 1.-THE
robDer tariff advances prices on
everything that the farmer or labor
ing man has to buy and reduces the
price on everything that the farmer
his 40 sell is to say the least and put
II mildly leetle thin. If farmer
has 10 buy any Of the farm products,
and the price is high, this aIl-wise
demagOgue eXpOunder of the law is on
hand and tells this farmer that were
it not for the tariff he could buy the
article for about 0ne-half what he
paid. If this same farmer has a farm
product to sell and the price is low,
this same political trickster again
shows up as an eKpOunder Of the law
and charges it to the rObber tariff. If
all farm products bring from fair to
high prices, as at present, this same
demagOgue brays on the street, brays
in print, brays in the Farmers Ali
ance that the tariff has nothing to do
with the prices Of farm products. but
that it is short crops that has caused
The advance in prices.

Policemen for the Parks.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Your editorial in Fridays issue referring to
protection to those who frequen: the public
parks, either for pleasure or rest, was timely
and appropriate. As you correctly stated the
metropolitan police force have nothing to do
with keeping order in the parks, which are
patrolled by an insufficient force of men en-
ployed by the general government. Why
would it not be the proper thing to have a body
of men selected to act as park policemen?
would suggest to Col. Ernst, the park commits
sion and the District Commissioners to Join
forces and appoint fifty men. Let them wear q
gray uniform, so as to distinguish them from
members of the regular police force, and upon
the badge the words, "Park police These
fifty men to be under the command Of a cap
tain and two sergeants. making the force num-
Der ffty-three men all told. They would stop
fast driving, robberies, prohibit drunken peo-
pie from monopolizing the benches protect
the trees and shrubbery and keep order in
many other ways, and thereby make our parks
as safe as the streets at all hours Of the night
and day. As it 10 now, with the limited num-
Der OF watchmen, women and children are
often mistreated and insulted by the drunken
ioafers, trsmps and scoundrels who make the
parks their tramping grounds at all hours. New
York and Philadelphia have forces Of the kind
here named, why not Washington, which has
more payk space in proportion to its area than
any other city in the world2 A CITIZEN.
