THE republicans Of Minnesota are to
be congratulated on the plans already
formulated for the campaign of 1892.
The watchword has already gone out
that the campaign Is to be an education
al one, and this will ensure success. The
party's principles, when once understood
by the people, will be readily embraced,
and then the day is carried. We are not
afraid to turn on the glare of public dis
cussion. The victory in 1888 was won
by this method, while everything was
lost in 1890 because of the failure on the
part OF the people to thoroughly UNDER
stand the issues. Let everything be full
ly discussed and a prophet will not be
required to foretell the results.
THE city of st. Paul has been made
defendant in a suit brought to force pay
ment of 500, 900 worth Of school bonds.
The Pioneer Press lays the blame on the
shoulders of the board of education for
making The bodns payable at time
when it knew there would be no fuials
available. st. Paul doesn't object to be-
ing sued so much as it does to the fact
that Minneapolis attorney-~Judge
lShaw--ls to do the prosecuting. st.
Paul is wonderfully tender on some SUBJ
jccts and Minneapolis is one Of them.
THE "reform" legislature wants to cut

Justice Over Against Mercy.

Mercy is God like, but so is justice.
Maudlin pity that jails a petty thief, but
lets the embezzler go scott free, is neith-
er mercy nor justice. The man who for
feits communty's long placed conf
dence is much more dangerous and the
effects of his crime more lasting than the
folly of some Insignificant fellow who
steals money to satisfy an insatiate thirst
for drink or some foolish boy who pur-
loins horse for few hours ride. We
are too apt to guage our horror of steal
ing in inverse ratio to the amount stolen
and the prominence of the thief. A man
who steals millions is financier, but the
poor wretch who steals Il few dollars
from his own family, or makes off with
some trifling article is thought menace
to society. Cover up the defaulter's
tracks, but hound the little villain to tri-
for any wrecked life, whether a drunk
ard, debauche or a fOrger and embeZ-
zler, but what of the innocent who suffer
unheard in the drunkard's home? What
ness and despair? What of the creditors
lured on to engulf savings in maelstrom
of mad speculation and irretrievable loss?
What of private and public trusts out
ragged and their funds rified? A highway
man is saint to such sneaking Judas.
He carries the bag only that he may pill
fer it and the end is always the same. If
he does not hang himself, as Judas did,
he is certain to be a financial suicide soon
or late. American life is rife with defal-
cation and embezzlement and we would
do well to stop sneering at truthful
George Washington and honest Abe Lin
coin and teach the boys and girls to ad-
mire and practice their simple but eter-
nal virtues. There is lesson of equal
Importance in recent events: Unrestrict-
ed power is often curse in politics, in
church management and in business life.
The unrestrained use of a miser's fortune
tempts the losing speeulator to his ruin.
The unlimited term of power that defied
opposition brooked neither restraint nor
bonded precaution. The majority that
regarded not an Insignificant opposition
made no searching inquisition into the
character or standing of its fayorites.
Individual nor party can stand unstinted
power and prosperity. Your swarthy
tropic, with plenty hanging his food on
the trees, is the LATEST, least progressive
of mankind. Tweed tauntingly enquiries,
| What are you going to do about it

justified in appealing to the last dread
necessity in the fulhllment of their
dutyp We say yeS, most emphatically.
1t is too often the case that toughs
regard village marshals as mere public
DULLES, who are given right to use
their physical powers in maintaining
order; but further than that their office
has no sanctity. The greatest bully
and toughest slug is often picked out
because it is the common opinion that
he can knockout" any man in the
neighborhood. 1t is urged that toughs
will be afraid to tackle" him.
This conception of peace officer is
not right. 1t may be necessary to have
for an officer man of commanding
appearance, for obvious reasons. But
it is equally plain that he should not
be compelled to take part hand to hand
in every rough-and-tumble scuffle. He
represents the law, and in such a posi-
ton should be surrounded by its sane
tity. And should bullying tough
dare to lay hands upon him he is per-
! fectly justifiable in indicating his
right and the rights of the law as the
emergency of the case may demand.
And, moreover, in his actions he should
find the hearty support of his commu-
nifty To touch an officer while in the
rightful discharge of his duties should
be most dangerous business. AS to
whether his conduct be right or wrong
is left for higher authorities to settle.
The very fact that he acts is sufficient
reason that he should be left alone in
his action in his own responsibility,
unless he should deem it advisable to
summon aid, in which case his su M
mons has the right of law, and must
be obeyed.
This is a lesson which we think
should not miss of appreciation. We
are in thorough sympathy with Mar
shall Cole, judging from the story as we
have heard it. He has performed the
part of but brave marshal, and
should have the sympathy of his COM
munity. a few such occurrences will
teach the members of these fighting
cliques that law is not to be trifled
with and that the ordinances of COM
munity are sacred and must be obeyed.
In this alone is there any safety to life
or property in the smaller villages.
We watch the developments of the
case with particular interest, and in
the mean time Marshal Cole has our
sympathy.

GREETINGS OF THE NEW YEAR.

Happy greetings of the New Year,
is our best wish. The past year has
not been unfavorable to the most of
us. To those it has not hearty an
ticipation prepares prosperous year
before them. To those. to whom the
year has been one of sorrow, buoyancy
of spirit foretels a change for the
better. All around us there is happy
anticipation of better times. We ex-
pect it. And we should be thankful
that we do. This joyous anticipation
of the future affords us much of our
enjoyment.
However, why should the most un-
fortunate of us feel sad over the result
of the last year. They were not as
bad as they might have been. IT'S
well, after all, that it was not worse.
Thus we live in continuous expecta-
ton. And the EXPosIToR, in this its
first issue of the year 1891, wishes you
all happy realization of these. 1t is
a vain wish, you will say. Yes; but
not to you all. Far from it. We are
all happy. But we are not all content
ed. That is. we do not realize our hap
piness 1t is this that we wish you all
this year. A happy contentment!

after its passage, and more than six
months before the increased tin plate
