NOT LUsTER sHEDDERs

a gentleman of high character and
more than local reputation, a resident
of Western city-always an earnest
Republican, of courSe-was induced to
accept a position in connection with the
census bureau at Washington. Very
unexpectedly to those who knew him.
some time the past year he resigned and
left Washington. The nominal reason
for the resignation is immaterial. The
real cause of his action was indicated
in the private statement to friend that
he could not be enough of rascal to
hold office at Washington. He had &C.
caslOn to be specially familiar with the
census and pension bureaus, and it is
presumed that his Impressions were
based mainly or entirely on those depart
mentS. He had found in his own ex-
perience that man of honor and lnteg-
rity could not maintain his self-respect
in office theGS as he was forced to con
sent to practices revolving to moral SEN
sibilities. High claims are made for
the administration as a moral magnet
to draw people of its sanity texture INFO
positions about it. But it has been
freely charged that, in addition to the
lncompetency of the head of the census
bureau and the uncertain value OF any
material part of his work, ill odors per

THE LATEST PLAN.

The worlds fair commission issues
this morning an address to the people of
Minnesota. telling of the difficulties
with which it has had to contend in its
work, and outlining plan by which it
hopes to secure $780, 900 for the purpose
of the states exhibit The gentlemen
who compose the commission give their
time without compensation and were
they asked to do nothing more than at
tend to the details of making a proper
display of our resources, they would be
entitled to the public's gratitude. But,
in addition to this, they have had to face
the hard problem of raising money to
pay the expense which will be neceS-
sariIy incurred. This is not fairly a
part of their duty at all, and yet up to
this point it has consumed their best en-
ergies, and its solution seems still dis
couragingly remote.
The idea which the commission now
has in mind is to solicit contribution
from each county in proportion to its
taxable wealth, calculating Oh an aggre-
gate of 100000, if they all respond.
Leading citizens in every section are
invited to take hold of the matter and
to devise some machinery by which the
quotas can be raised, and for their
guidance figures are furnished show
ing what is expected from each. In
Hennepin and Ramsey counties nearly
half the total will have to be secured,
but even the unorganized counties are
included in the list, and their proper
tons estimated.
To get money out of people
for any object which does not
contain the hope of personal
return is no easy undertaking, and
the worlds fair is so remote and indi-
rect a source of benefit to lis that it will
be doubly hard to elicit much response,
even by actual solicitation. The GLOBE
hopes very sincerely that something
will come of this new effort, and that
people will be found ready to put their
shoulders to the wheel out of sense of
loyalty and local patriotism. They may
be sure that whatever they give Will be
honestly and wisely used, and can count
on its return, if not by the next, at any
rate by some future legislature. The
history of such movements has always
been that, while parsimony prevails for
while, in the long run the government
will compensate those who have been
generous with their services or their
means for its advancement.

the extent of the law the malfeasancee
against this company by Its officers and
in securing all that has been wrong

counsel of the company to dermine as
