A NEW, CRISP CONGRESS.

Tom Reed used to be able to count a

There will be no Tom Reed dictator

THE COUNTRY YAWNS.

The senators from Kansas are one
PLUMB, widely known from his reSem-
blance to the actor CRANE. and one
PETER, famous for the length of his
beard. The vice president had hardly
raped for order at the opening of the
new congress when they were on their
feet with plans TO advance the national
welfare. PETER wants a commission
TO investigate the loan brokers of the ma
ton. He thinks that they are making
too much money, and would have their
profits limited by federal enactment.
PLUMB has opinions Oh the currency
question, and would retire the national
bank notes and substitute silver dollars
under free coinage act.
1t is interesting to note that, while the
talented PLUMB was eXpounding his
measure. Hon. JOHN g. CARLISLE, a
senator from Kentucky, yawned so loud
as to drown the voice of the bleeding
commemorative representative; and
when this device proved Intellectual to
still his dreary oratory, the eX-speaker
with ostentation and creaking boots
withdrew from the senate chamber. So
be it OIL all such occasions and with all
advocates of free-coinage legislation.
Let them talk to empty benches or
while their colleagues slumber. The
whole country yawns over agitation OF
the money question, and withdraws out

THE IOWA QUESTION

The Iowa Republicans, who have reg
ularly resolved to stand by the pro-
hibition law of that state. are in a fever
of apprehension that the Democrats in
the legislature will not repeal the act
this winter and substitute high license.
Reference is had to the politicians, who
have become very tired OF the results of
their sort of standing. They are prod
ding the Democrats not to forget that
they are pledged to that course, and
the people wax indignant if they hest
tate. One popularity of the situation
is that the Republicans have a majority
in both houses, and every man of them
is bound by the pledges of the party to
stand by the law and was elected
as friend to it. 1t is a nov
city to find it demanded by the ma
jority that the minority shall defeat it,
and destroy bulwark behind which it
has been entrenched. Of course, the
Democrats can pass no measure with
out the votes or connivance of a portion
of the Republicans, and the latter can
only afford this by treachery to their
constant declarations OF faith. The
duty of the Democrats is palpable.
They must embody the policy of the
party on this question in a bill, and give
it all OF their votes. If the Republican
majority chooses TO defeat it, they will
have none of the responsibility. Much
will depend in the future upon their
action. 1t may save or lose the state
acXt wear.

MUST BE PUSHED.


In his speech after his election
Speaker CRISP insisted that there
should be no backward steps in tariff
reform. Mr.. SPRINGER, who gave him
the deciding vote, asserts that he first
satisfied himself that "in Mr.. CRIsP's
election it would be preserved as the
paramount issue of the presidential
campaign of 1892" 1t is the Repub-
lican policy, OF course, to represent the
action of the Democrats in the house as
a letting down Of the reform ensign.
They affect to find in it 4 subordination
of the tariff issue to the silver question.
So far as such impressions are accepted
by the public, they leadto the more rad =
ical declarations on the tariff question,
and the logical need Of the nomination
of the man who is the platform in HIM
SELF There is no occasion to discount
in the least the sincerity Of the profess
SiOnS of the new speaker, and his record
is consistent and satisfactory. Had not
Mr.. MILLS been i'll the field, no misap-
prehensiOn could have arisen on the
subject. He was the recognized en-
bodiment of the party policy. HIS de-
feat, then, will compel a more aggres-
Sive and radical antagonism to McKin-
leyiSm. The tariff reform fight must he
pushed and kept to the front. There
must not only be no backward steps,
but vigorous advance. Success is to
be won next year only Oh this line.

CAUGHT AT LAST.

Nothing amuSes an American journal
lst more than the troubles which are
closing in around WILLIAM HENRY
HURLBURT. HURLBURT used to be
editor of the New York World when it
was the property of JAY GOULD. He
was a luxurious and able gentleman
with an Oriental imagination. His
poetical temperament vented itself in
the deyising of unprecedented kinds of
debauchery. He won for himself
famous name in Newspaper row as the
inventor of eXtra-maritaI diversions
which would have done credit or dis
credit to an Ottoman Turk. In the full
ness of time he graduated from bachelor
dom, and went abroad as benedict to
live as English benedicts do. One
GLADYS EVELYN attracted his atten-
ton; and, after the fashion he had so
adroitly followed at home, he proceeded,
1t is alleged, to draw her into his parlor
with the subtlety of the spider. En-
gliSh victims have way Of appealing
to the law courts, and the first thing our
American cousin knew he was defendant
ID an action for damages of the heaviest
proportions.
His presence of mind did not desert
him, but he called on his fellow citizen.
A. Oakley HALL, also a resident of
London. for cOnnSe! and suggestion.
Then followed the most astounding sort
or trial, i'll which the sanity HURI,
BURT swore that he had never seen
Miss GLADYS EVELYN in his life, and
that the whole thing was a case of mis-
taken identity. Not only this, but he
proved to the satisfaction of the Judges
that one WILFRED MURRAY, his pri-
vate secretary, had impersonated him,
and was liz reality the sinner. This
WnFRED MURRAY bore a very remark
able resemblance 20 our HURLBURT.
lie looked like him, he talked like him.
he wrote like him. No one had ever
seen this individual, and be could not
be found at the time of the trial. But
the fair plaintiff was defeated, and he
went scot free because it was estab-
liShed that HURLBURT's double. and
not HURLBURT himself, had undone her.
This, however, was not the end of the
matter. GLADYS EVELYN took to the
rostrum and lectured before large audi
ences at the Royal Aquarium, West
minister, popular resort for an uncer-
tain class of English people. With the
funds thus accumulated she Instituted
further investigations, and got to-
gether. it is said, conclusive evil
dence that HURLBURr had been
guilty of perjury, and that he and WILL
FRED MURRAY were really one and the
same person. Mean while WILLIAM
HENRY, firing of English life, returned
to America, and the latest news is that
the officers of the law are searching for
him. When found he will be taken
back to his dear London and arraigned
to answer for having borne false witness
against his neighbOr. This is all very
amusing to newspaper men, who know
him well. He is now well past middle life,
and has been in many scrapes, from
which he has always eXtricated himself
without loss of dignity or social stand
ing. 1t is enough to make the gods
laugh to see him caught at this stage of
his career, after victories without num-
Der and escapes most thrilling. An
Oriental imagination has its dangers
everywhere except in the far East.

THEY DO WEFI,

In exactly half of the states women
nave the ballot to some extent in the
election of school officers. There has
beena good deal of flippancy and loco Sc
ness about the female participation in
this part of the suffrage, but a COMPARE
son with the other sex in the wisdom
and dignity with which the women have
exercised this right would not be to the
disadvantage of the women. They NAV
not become adopts in the. new role with
quite the suddenness with which the
male Immigrant from mOnarchal rule is
transformed into the Intelligent and
patriotic American citizen at times. but
there have been no instances made
public in which the participation of
women has retarded the cause of educa-
ton or impaired the efficiency of any
school. In fact, so far as there are
data for statements, the reverse is true.
A wholesome influence has been
brought into the arrangements. The
light Of the home has come into the
school house, and the tact and intuition
OF woman have given higher force and
better thought to the educational work.
Where the training and education of the
children are concerned the intuition of
he refined and sensible woman is worth

TWO NEW INDUSTRIES.

st. Paul gets the Walter A. Wood
harvester machine works, which, it is
claimed, will add 10000 to that citv'S
0pulation.-DouglaS County News.
The Milwaukee car wheel works arc
to be removed to st. Paul at once. The
Sanity city has been "getting on a huS-
tie" lately. One or two removals to
Minneapolis of st. Paul institutions has
awakened some OF the St. Paul people,
and when they once get started they are
a strong lot of puilerS.- Window Re-
porter.
st. Paul is feeling justly elated over
the acquisition of two manufacturing
establishments which are to be located
there-the Walter A. Wood Harvester
works and the Milwaukee Car Wheel
works. The two companies will employ
nearly 5000 men, who, with their fam
lilies, will materially increase the pOpu-
latiOn a1d act as incentives for other
corporations to locate there.-Sauk Cen
ter Avalanche.
st. Paul has secured the establishment
in that city of the immense harvester
plant of the Walter A. Wood company.
1t is also announced that the large car
wheel works from Milwaukee, employ
ing 800 men, will be imm ediateIy re-
moved to St. Paul. These two man.
moth industries will add largely to the
population and wealth of the Sanity
City, and her citizens may be pardoned
for a little Dragging over the event.

The SUNDAY GLOBE mentions the Sc
curing of two lucrative plants to be To-
Gated in ST. Paul-One the Waiter A.
Wood Harvester company, with a capt.
tai of Two and a half millions and with
employment to $500 men; the other, the
car wheel works at Milwaukee to be re-
moved to st. Paul, employing 800 men.
All OF which is good for ST. Paul, but
how could these companies overlook
Shakopee in favor of IAN obscure
tOwn?" -Shakopee Courier.
ST. Paul papers claim that the Walter
A. Wood Harvester Machine company
has decided to locate in that city. The
capital stock is TO be 81, 100000. $1,000
600 of which is 10 be taken by st. Paul.
The plant will employ 5000 men and be
of incalculable benefit, not only to St.
Paul and Minneapolis, but to the Ell
tire state and Northwest. Other manu-
facturerS wilt be forced to follow suit or
ton for the trade of the Northwest
Amboy Herald.
st. Paul is rejoicing over having Sc
cured the Western branch of the Walter
a. Wool Harvester company. 1t is said
that the concern when lii operation will
employ $500 men. and to secure it st.
Paul takes $S00,000 worth of the COM
pany's stock. the capitalization being
81. 100000. Several other cities that
were after the prize feel rather sore
over their failure. and claim that st.
Paul gave more than the plant is worth.
But st. Paul people say that they have
measured the benefits and are satisfied
with the deal. The new concern viii
be of great Importance not only to st.
Paul but the hwest.-Mankato Free

MINNESOTA TO THE FRONT.

Minnesota is developing the most de-
lightful fecundity in the way of candi-
dates for federal offices. Gen. GRANT,
Of Minneapolis, is prominently men,
toned in connection with the portfolio
OF war. If Mr.. HARRISON decides to
appoint Republican to the new federal
judgeShip for this circuit, it is said that
MATTER Ii. SANBORN, of st. Paul. will
get the prize. If Democrat is named,
THOMAS WILSON, of Winona, will be
the man. For the vacancy in the civil
service commission MARK II. DUNNELL
is receiving consideration. and the
friends of Judge WILLIAM MITCHELL
are urging his claims for seat in the
interstate commerce board. Last, and
most important Of all, the GLOBES NOM
ination of Gov. WILLIAM r. MER-
RIAM for The vice presidency has
kIndled the profoundest interest all
over the Northwest. Wherever he is
known the kinde5t words of common
datiOn have been spoken of him, and
his candidacy is growing day by day.
No other man has been suggested who
combines more qualities of availability
than does he, and this papers only re-
greet will be that, having won him a
place on the Republican ticket, it will
be compelled to oppose his election. 1t
promises to do this. however, in tenn
perate and dlgnified way, and to bear
witness to the end of the campaign of
the feeling it has already expressed.
This is. that if any Republican is to Sc
fi1o off IL fAa a
and able WILLIAM r. MERRIAM.
This long list Of available timber for
so many important positions proves how
strong this state is in citizens of force
and brains. Every one who has been
named is TecogiZed at once. even by his
political foes, as fit to discharge the most
responsible duties with discretion and
success. The GLOBE hopes that they
will all get what they want, because no
one of them can attain to an honor of
which he would not be worthy. Espe-
cially glad would it be to see that staunch
Democrat and learned jurlst, WILLIAM
MITCHELL. advanced to post where his
creative mental vigor could find full
scope in work of the highest sort.
Among the five honorable, courteous
and capable men who adOrn our supreme
bench, he stands conspicuous for his
power of analysis, his breadth OF view,
his superiority TO formulas and tradi-
tiOnS, his legal requirements and his
intellectual courage. If the president
is looking for man of this kind as a
successor 70 Judge COOLEY, he has but
to investigate the record of MinnesOta's
candidate to bring his quest to a sue
cessful and happy termination.

more than the philosophers of all the
men. In the main the women have eX-
ercised the voting right with more con-
sideration and conscience than the men.
In Boston some 1000 or more of tie
best ladies of the city have registered
for the pending school election, and
when any school interest seems at stake
their activity rises to enthusiasm. Par
ticipation in school management is
widely different in its effect upon
women from the municipal suffrage Of
Kansas. That reaches into the lowest
strata OF shady politics. In the school
matter there has been nothing that re-
fnement and womanly dignity revolt
at. 1t Is probably but matter of no
great time when women will have
hand in school affairs in nearly all the
states. In Ohio strong effort is being
made to amend the constitution in order
that they may have equal participation
in educational matters.

WILL HOLD HIS SEAT

In his introduction of Mr.. BRICE TO
his seat in the senate. Senator SHERMAN
virtually comedies that there is to be no
real effort TO displace him. SHERMAN
would parley and temporize for the time
to secure his own election. but he has
no taste for an issue of that sort, even
without the unpalatable possibility that
its success would bring in FORA KER.
Senator BRICE may feel that his seat is
as firm as any of those about him. He
has done all his voting in Ohio. and
the state supreme court has passed upon
the matter. 1t is really nothing to the
senate where the man resides who is
elected in legal form to represent a state
in that body. 1t is matter between the
legislature and the people. IL they are
satisfied, there should be no inquiry be-
yOna.

BLOODSHED IN INDIA.

Intangible war clouds have, of late,
gathered and faded away in Europe with
such persistent regularity that it is
something in the nature of a surprise
that few drops of blood have actually
been wrung from one of these threaten
ing clouds. London dispatches indicate
considerable excitement in club and
army circles ever the fact of a collision
between British troops and tribesmen
in India. The sensation gains intensity
from the fact that these tribesmen are
under Russian influence and encourage
ment. The scene of this sharp sklrmish
is in the vicinity of Gilgit, near the
Pamir frontier, and not far from the
disputed boundary line claimed by
Russia. For more than year
great uneasiness has been occa-
stoned British diplomacy by the
gradual, but steady encroachmeDt of
Russian soldiers upon territory claimed
by England. Hitherto both sides have
been content to watch, wait and report
progress 10 the home office. Now the
clash has come. and the long-expe cted
precipitated. Fort Chalt, garisoned by
some KashmireS and Indian Ghoorkhas.
has been captured by tribesmen, re-
taken by the British, and again cap
tured by the tribesmen. Nine Sepovs
were killed and a number of British of
ficers wounded. Rapid exchange of
dispatches is going on between high Of
ficials in London. and the souls of
young officers and guardsmen are up
in arms and eager for the fray. Veter-
an English officers recently on duty in
India say that the situation is grave,
and that affairs in the Pamir district
are in a dangerous stage At any rate.
Russian absorption of Indian territory
must stop some time, and perhaps it can
only cease at the termination of war
involving the greater portion of Eu-
rope.
