INCONSISTENT oBJECToRs.

1t is assuredly most unkind and in
considerable of certain of st. PauPS ne
ophyte assemblymen to object to the
neophyte mayors choice of a police
chief. Moreover. the objection savors
of a deplorable inconsistency. Have
their irate excellencieS so soon forgot
the beat and measure of their late cam
paign slogan? Did it not run to the
effect that st. Paul is hOtbed of perdi-
ton and discount on purgatory? DID
it not herald the proposition that them
selves and their associates on the ere
form" ticket constituted the sole reli-
ably redeeming feature of this corrupt
municipality? Did it not unctuously ex-
hort guilty populace to acknowledge
and in some degree palliate its deprav-
ity by voting these spotless BarkiSeS
into Office? How, then. could these
shining lights expect the new mayor to
invest one of this same depraved popu-
lace with the power and em0lument of
chief of police? Would it not be
a rash, a risky, a wholly iDde-
feasible experiment? Isn't it alb
solutely imperative that his honor
elect should seek in Saltwater or
Kamtschatka or Bornao the purity and
godliness which even the tactics OF
DIoGENES would hardly avail to un-
cover hers?
At the least, Col. WRIGHT has but one
alternative-thato of turning over the pO-
lice department to one of his associate
inn0centS on the successful ticket. He
could do that-and perhaps. after all,
that is just what he is wanted to do.

darkly hidden the raiSon d'etre for this

GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

The GLOBE is glad that great politi-
cal party is about to hold its national
convention in this state. The event
will give an impetus to political thought
and political discussion of infinite value
to our people. Minnesota has never eX-
perienced a real campaign, such as is
Waged in the doubtful sections of the
East. The voices of famous orators
have never been heard On our stump,
and we have no conception of the depth
OF feeling and earneSneSS of purpose
which can attend such occasions. These
possibilities are about to be disclosed to
US. There will be in Minneapolis and
st. Paul, week from now, more great
men than ever before crossed our Dor
ders. They will come from every quar-
ter of the land, preceded by reputa-
tiOnS fOT strength, character, aggressive
energy. craft. tact and power. They
will meet in the clash of debate, and
will make themselves heard in advocacy
of men and principles for whose adj
YanceIhent they are pledged. People
make great mistake who think that
their newspaper knowledge of such
characters is as adequate and complete
as any which they could acquire by
being in their presence, or enjoying in
innate contact with them. This is not
true. Their personality carries with it
an inspiration and elevation which no
amount of reading about them can give.
They are of the directing and moving
forces which govern popular Sentimen
in America and control popular acti on.
The crowd will be vast while the Ses-
siOnS continue, and visitors will per-
hapS have to submit to little incon-
venience aud discomfort. But the
GLOBE urges the bright young men
of both parties, who can spare the
time and the money, to take advantage
of this opportunity. They can do good
to their less fortunate neighbors by
telling them on their return of what
they have seen and heard. They will also
find themselves grown in love for their
country and in interest in its prob
lens by behOlding face to face the lead
ers who grapple with them IN deadly
earnest, because the task of their solu-
ton rests on their shoulders. Mime
sofa will be rescued from its political
Indifference if its citizens lose none of
che feast which is about to lie spread be-
fore them.

CONSISTENT AND HONEST.

a recent number of Frank Leslie'S
Weekly pictures a quartette styled
Renegade Republican Candidates for
the Democratic Presidential Nomina-
tion," and in the article by MURA t
HAIsTEAD following they are held up
in his cauStic style as turncoatS and
men of uncertain views. The four are
Senator JOHN NJ. PALMER, of Illinois;
Gov. BOIEs. of Iowa; eX-Gov. CAMP
BELL, of Ohio, and Hon. ISAAC Z.
GRAY, of Indiana. HALSTEAD finds
that when these men were Republicans
they were earnest partiSanS. Of PALM
Err, who is first considered, he INDUCES
in IA wild and frivolous inaccuracy of
assertion" to adopt his language. He
assumes that before the Illinois Sena-
tor aided in the organization of the
Republican party he was an ultra
abolitionist, and terms HIM "a
very old man and a very young Demo
GRAFT" without attacking importance to
the fact PALMER was always Demo-
erat until the slavery question was
thrown into the party arena by the
taking down of the barrier to its extern
sion. a warnl-blooded and intense
man, he was jealous in his politics as
in any other of the activities of life.
When a Republican, he was not hest
tating, halfway one. But lie never
abandoned the views that had made him
a Democrat. When slavery had gone
and the war question been settled, he
resumed his connection with tue Demo
cratic party, and has steadily acted with
it the past twenty years. Gov. CAMP
BELL. and Gov. GRAY left the Republi-
cans with HORACE GREELEY in 1872, and
Gov. BOIES is the only one of the four
who has not been Democrat for twenty
years past. They are not obnoxious to
the HAI.sTEAD imputation of freshness
in the Democratic cause. When they
left the Republican party it was in the
floodtide of its strength, and PARTISAN
ship cannot question that conviction
and not personal ends actuated them.
Hosts of the best men in the Republican
party, many OF them among its organ
iZers, abandoned it when it followed
after false gods and became mere ma
chine to promote the interests of favored
to their credit that they had the nerve to
follow their convictions at the expense of
partisan attachments. A change of
party connections is no evidence of
fickleness and unreliability. Thought
full, Intelligent citizens have theories of
administration and hold TO certain gen
eral principles. If they are honest and
earnest they will naturally seek the
agencies that are at the time best
adapted to their promotion. This may
necessitate the change of party associa-
ton in exigencies. 1t is an occasion of
just pride to the Democrats that their
party has been able to draw so largely
from the best blood of the Republican
party. Prudence would dictate mute
ness on this subject with Republicans.

DECORATION DAY.

This is Decoration day, consecrated
to the memory of the men who fought
for their country and are dead. The
soldier by profession, to whom arms
were a trade, the reluctant victim OF the
memorable draft, hurried to the front
against his will, the loyal volunteer
whose soul burned with patriotic zeal
to defend the honor of the nations flag
all these alike are remembered at this
hour and paid the tribute Of affection
and gratitude. The sons of every race
under heaven, carrying in their breasts
feelings and prejudices born of expert
enceS as diverse as the winds which
meet in a hurricane, animated by
a thousand different motives, they
stood together against the enemy,
and in the shock of battle forgot
everything except their duty. The
full story of what they endured
can never be told. because only those
who themselves suffered with them can
appreciate the recital. The physical
agony Of the long marches, the priYa-
tionS and the sickness, the horror or
the prison life, the glare, the noise, the
confusion of the actual combat, with
the groans of the wounded and the
tears for the dead, are rehearsed to deaf
ears when addressed to a generation
which is familiar with no arts save
those CT peace. Our fathers and our
brothers suffered such things as seem
beyond the power of humanity to bear,
and a countless host fell beneath the
burden which war laid upon them.
Other lands have matured skillful cap
tainS. and. perhaps, armies better
trained than ours have been marshaled
on foreign battlefelds. But hiSt0ry's
page contains the record of no citizen
Soldiery like that which went forth
from Americas towns ana hamlets
no holier cause ever depended
on the arbitrament of muskets than
that in whose behalf they were enlisted.
Most of these men had no other train
ing than that which the shop or the fac
tory gives its yotarieS; but they knew
how to obey or to command according as
their situation required, and they got
into ranks when the bugle sounded; and
those Of them who Survived the strug
gle returned to the shop or factory when
their work was done. Their work was
to free a subject race from the bonds of
slavery. and to preserve the integrity
and greatness of our fatherland. The
success of popular government hung
upon their victory. 70 them we owe
our expanding national life; to them
we owe our commercial strength and
prosperity, and the liberty of thought
and action which is our priceless heri-
tage. These brave men of the time that
is gone deserve the garlands which we
place or their graves today. Smaller
reward we could not pay to those who
made such sacrifices for US and for
myriads yet unborn.

moved by this publication to denounce
the lynching of negroes at the South.
Mob law and lynchingS are to be con-
demned, whether South or North, or
whatever the color or condition
of the victims. Tue cOlored man
should certainly have the protection or
the law and the exact rights in the
courts of other citizens. A couple or
weeks ago three colOred men charged
with murder were taken from a jail i'll
Georgia by a mob and lynched. Inc
governor promptly issued his proclama-
ton denOunemg the act as an Outrage
without excuse or palliatlon," ana as
sorting that the killing of citizen by
mob is deliberate murder, and should
be punished as such. He offered re-
ward for the discovery Of the leaders OF
the mob. Unfortunately, it is not prob
able that these men will receive the
punishment they deserve. 1t is almost
impossible to secure the convict OH OF
leaders in a mob anywhere. Statistics
have been published showing that more
persons have been lynched in the United
States the past year than have been eX-
ecuted by law, but it is not remem-
bered that any OF the iynchers nave
been hung. These mObS and lynchingS
were not confined TO the South, nor was
there any distinction of color. White
men are lynched in the South, In the
West and the East. There is need OF
such education of public sentiment that
MODS to wreak vengeance on individuals
suspected or convicted of crime will not
be tolerated anywhere. They are the
enemies of order and society, and should
be denounced in any locality There Is
no occasion for sectionaliSm in the
matter. 1t is hoped the colOred friends
will be fervent and effectual in their
supplications, and not forget the whites
who suffer from mob violence ana
frenzy,

THEY FAST AND PRAY.

The colored people in this locality,
and probably generally, are to devote
the day tomorrow TO abStemious exer-
ciSes and religious services, to invoke
Supernal aid for the possession of their
rights and immuDities as citizens. 1t is
very ancient and highly approved
custom for people in emergencies to
supplicate the Offices of the Ruler of the
Universe, and it is to be hoped those will
be benefited who now resort to that
eXpedient. But there are features in
time and circumstances connected with
the present movement that afford
suspicion that our celored fellow citi-
ZenS may be unwittingiy used to
subserve political ends rather than
to promote the welfare of their race. II
has happened by singular coincidence,
perhaps, that each presidential year
class of pkilanthropists who operate on
political lines bee ONE intensely alert
to protect or establish the rights of the
colored people in the South. Their So
licitude does not extend to the element
among them in the North. Stories of
Southern outrage" come to hand oppor-
Iune!y,and are dressed in lurid colors.
The present movement is understood TO
be melted by circular addressed to
1.-THE colored people of the United
States and their friends" designed for
the widest publicity, but accompanied
by private instructions, confidential and
not open to the public, formulating the
methods to be pursued. The circular
pictures horrible condition in parts of
the country, referring to the South. 1t
asserts that ''ScGres of men and women
are annually condemned to sudden and
cruel deaths by the rope, the pistol, and,
more horrible still, by burning alive.'
The publication declares in effect that
negroes are lynched on suspicion of
crime, the local authorities being indif-
ferent to their rights and the national
government Ineffective. There being.
then, no help from human sources.
divine assistance is to be invoked
by setting apart the last day
of May as day of humilia-
ton, fasting and prayer" While the
effort is oStensibly to influence the
Higher Power. the private instructions
are imperative and detailed to put their
movement before men by securing the
fullest publication in the local papers
and in the Associated Press. This pur-
pose to affect men leads to distrust of
their professions that they have no
hope but from above. The date, too,
creates suspicion that the Minneapolis
convention was not forgotten. The late

BIBULoUs REFORM.

The scheme advanced by Rev. DR..
RAINsFoRD. a prominent Episcopal
clergymen of New York city. in his dis
course a week ago, does not at once cap
ture the church sentiment. In fact, un-
kindly reflections are made personal to
him in consequence. His regimen for
combating the evils OF intemperance is
to adopt the attractive features of sa-
looms and give them place under church
guardianship. He assumes that in
cities the drinking habit cannot be Grad
ieated. Hence he would reform saloons
and have them put under the charge of
business men in the churches. The
liquid department should discard
whisky, but be supplied with pure beers
and wines, with coffee, chocolate <and
