SOME CHEERFUL ASPECTS.

So far as it may not lead to undue
competency and relaxation of effort, it
is best to look upon the bright side OF
things not fully materialized. Adven-
turous people who have gone toward
the sun in balloons have reported that
the upper side of clouds has much the
brighter and more cheerful aspect. 1t
Is not quite in the ocular range of the
average unaspiring citizen as yet. as the
air ships are not going so high at pres
ent; but in the opening of spring, when
most natural things are holding out
promises, and streak of free trade in
the tariff is giving a sweet but dan
gerouS illustration of its pOSsibili-
ties, it is well to let the eye run
along the productive months to boun-
teous fruition and generous returns.
So far as there well can be indications
at this period of the annual round, the
anticipations of prosperous season in
this country are much above the average
of several years past. The regions that
have had drouth OF scarcity of moisture
for crops have now ample for their in
ception. With the reasonable anticipa-
ton of better crops is the assurance
that the more remuneratiye prices will
continue. This seems especially prom
ising of the great staples of wheat and
corn, and all branches of animal indus
try. The absurd Instructions some of
the European powers have placed be-
fore the latter are being dissipated by
the light of good sense and self-interest.
The wheat grower will do well to
provide for increased acreage. and
give little concern to theories of
overproduction, or that cheap labor in
any foreign land is to furnish competi-
ton of a more serious character. The
sections that have been looked to as the
growing factors in the European supply
are European Russia and India. While
the consuming population is growing
there has been no increase in wheat
production to exceed. or even fully keep
pace with it. Russia has hardly en-
larged its area in wheat i'll the past dec
ade, and the anticipationS some have
had of India have not been realized. 1t
has added little to its product. Higher
prices and the extension of railroad sys-
TENS are the only probable stimulants to
greatly increased acreage in India. West
ern Europe will probably look to Amer
lea still more than in the past for its
material for bread. So far England has
been the chief and about only important
buyer of American agricultural prod
uctS in Europe. 1t is believed that lib
eral commercial relations would open
up considerable markets in several of
the other countries. If the reciprocity
wand that Mr.. BLAINE regards as so eff
fective with the small consumers and
partially enlightened peoples in South
America could be extended over the
Atlantic, it would open up large mar
kets for the producing interests of this
country.

VIEWS OF STATE EDITORS.

Gently interviewed in regard to bust
ness during the past year, and III each
and every case it is shown that bust
ness has increased from 10 to 80 per

be fair sample of the business of the

Gov. Merriam vetoed the Minneapolis
city charter, purely for political reasons.
The amended charter gave the mayor
control of the police and the appoint
ment generally of the subordinate
boards. 1t takes political power out of

and gives it to the mayor, who is elected
by and is responsible to the people. 1t

THE sun Is IN ERROR.

The New York Sun does the state of
Minnesota serious injustice when it
publishes to the world, with the sanction
of editorial comment, a statement to
the effect that the HOMPE newspaper
bill passed our state senate. The truth
is that it was introduced there, but de-
feated when it came up for passage
There is a very unfair tone in general
about the comments of the Eastern press
on the character aud doings of our
present legislature. The present sen
ate OF the state of Minnesota will COM
pare very favorably in the ability, learn
ing and character of its members with
any similar body in the Union. The
GLOBE, which is very familiar with the
successive senates of the state of New
York for long term of years, feels
entirely justified i'll saying that our
upper branch, as constituted today, is
Infinitely superior in all these respects
to any body which has sat IN the
capitol at Albany since the civil war.
Our Lieut.. Gov. IVES is handsomer.
adler and more dignified man than the
mustached JONES, who pays the freight
and presides in New York. No man
ever sat III the New York legislature
who could be compared IN nimbleness
of mind and readiness of tongue with
1GNATIUS DONNELLY. Even Senator
FASsETT, the Empire States Adonis,
is not as handsome as our Senator
STOCKTON, from Faribault, OF our SEN
ator TAWNEY, who began life as
blacksmith. If the New York Sun
wants to hear sound political principles
advocated with eloquence, point and
courtesy, it will be much more apt to be
gratified by an afternoons visit to the
corner of Tenth and Wabasha streets,
in st. Paul, than by many days spent
III the gaudy StatehOuSe Oh the banks of
the Hudson.
1t is not true, either, as the Sun sug-
geStS. that our legislature is ruled by
radicals who are Infatuated by local
newspaper criticism. There has not a
single measure been enacted at the
present session which is not moderate
and conservative in its character, and
such as might be expected from bodies
which have the advantage Of the daily
attendance of lawyers like HIRAM F.
STEVENS and JOIN b. SANBORN. There
have been some trivial bills introduced,
as there are in every legislature; and
Senator HoMPE's bill for the regulation
OF newspapers was not the lowest on
this list. But even that was nothing
worse than an Intellectual effort to limit
the vituperation which is incidental to
irresponsible frontier journalism. Sen
ator HoMPE, who is one of the ablest
members in the states employ and the
author of many of the WiseSt measures
which have been enacted, is the last
man in the world to use his official posi-
zion to wreak vengeance on his public
critics. The GLOBE is sure that none
of the comments it has made on the
legislatures work have been of the kind

A CHICAGO MISTAKE.

The Democrats evidently made mis-
take in the point of attack upon HEMP
STEAD WAsHBURNE, the Republican
candidate for mayor. He was paraded
and cartOoned as one who perpetuated
the adOlescent frivolity of the cigarette.
This was judicjOus portrayal for the
mass of Democrats whose acme of SEN
suouS felicity is extracted from a cob OF
clay pipe, but it evidently drove to the
cigarette candidate all the young: fell
lows who indulge in that vice. The
number of these may be inferred from
the sales of dealers to be injudiciousIy
large to be assailed in a repeIlant way
in close election. Some attempt was
made by the friends of WASHBURNE to
relieve him of the imputation, and he
failed to assert his personal privilege in
the matter, SO that his vote cannot be
taken as distinctively for the cigarette;
but it is big advertisement for that
form of indulgence, and the Democratic
mistake may be not less apparent.

THE HOMPE RUJ.

The railroad law of the state has been
in very unsatisfactory condition since
the decision of the supreme court of the
United States i'll the milk rate cases.
The present statute gives the railroad
commission the right of final adiudica-
ton IN disputes over the Justice of rail
road rates, and affords neither the COM
plalnant nor the carrier an opportunity
of securing review of the commissions
decision by one of the regularly consti-
tuted courts of law. Our own supreme
court sustained the conStitutionality of
this statute i'll an opinion of great abil-
lily, when it was attacked by the Mil
waukee road, but its position was re-
versed by the supreme court of the
United States when the matter came
before it for review Its ruling is. of
course. final, and we have since then
been in situation where the railroads
have the right of appeal from the adj
Indications Of the railroad commits
sion without having, at the same
time, any machinery provided by
which such an appeal can be
effected. Several measures which
aimed to remedy this difficulty have
been before the legislature, some Of
which have been very radical in their
provisions and some of which have
amounted to little more than to supply
the obvious omissions which exist in
the present statute in the light of the
criticisms the court of last resort has
passed uponi it, The HoMPE bill, which
ho
and will in all probability pass the
house and be approved by the governor,
is the most moderate of all which have
been proposed. 1t provides a very
simple method for reviewing the orders
of the railroad commission. first in the
district courts and afterwards by APP
peal in the supreme court. 1t gives the
parties interested their day III court
very completely and it is rather hard
to see how the railroads can find
anything to object to in it what
ever right others may have to
find fault with it. The railroads.
as far as they have been heard, would
prefer that in case of their resorting to
the courts, the order of the commits
sion appealed from should be suspended
i'll its operation, as a matter of course,
until final determination is arrived at.
The possibility of abuse of such a pro-
vision is clearly very great, and the bill
seems very fair in its treatment of this
point. 1t provides that the order shall
stand pending the appeal, unless in the
courts discretion it should be sus-
pended. The courts of this state can be
relied on to act fairly to the great cor
porations, and it is not probable that if
they have any substantial justice in the
position they take they will fail of Sc
curing protection from our district or
supreme court judges while it is receiv-
ing consideration. They ought to feel
very we'll satisfied that a legislature
which they have so severely criticised
should be willing to stop with law so
favorable to their interests.
