AS the Minneapolis convention
receds into the past and the mo-
tives by which it was actauted, and
conclusions at which it arrived,
become subjects of calm and dis
passionate consideration, the re-
gret of conservative republicans
becomes everywhere more pro-
nounced that the ticket which won
the victory of 1888 had not been
renominated as a whole for the
contest of 1899. There is no
question raised as to the abilities
of Mr.. Reid or the value of his
services to the party, but it can be
said without derogation to either
that his nomination for
the vice-presidency does not
command sincere approval, and
that the apprehension of its prov
ing a hindrance rather than help
to the ticket is apparently justified
by subsequent events.
1t was certainly not good poll
tics to nominate for Mr.. Harri.
sons running mate a man whose
first appearance in the canvas, il
might have been known before
hand, had the foresight of the con-
yention been as good as its hind
sight, would necessarily be in a
defensive attitude, nor is the wis
dom of this action vindicated by
the truce that has been patched
up between the management Oh
the Tribune and the typographical
union. 1t is now evident that
whether Mr.. Reid makes his peace
with the labor organizations
throughout the country or other
wise, it would have been the bet
ter as we'll as the fairer policy TO
have nominated Mr.. Morton for
second place. This having been
done no embarrassing complica-
tions would have arisen in any
direction, and the ticket would
have acquired the same compare
tive strength from the prestige Of
the vice-president that it secures
from the prestige of the chief ex.
ecutive.

these results was the great pop
ular verdict of 1890, which en-
phatically condemned the unpre-
cedented extravaganza of the bill
lion-dollar congress, the scanda-
lous pension abuses which have
drained the treasury, the high tar
i'll burdens which have oppressed
the people, and other consequences
of republican misrule. He did
not mention the fact that the re-
publican victories Of 1883, so far
as congressman were concerned,
were turned into inglorious defeats
at the elections Of 1890, when the
house was made overwhelmingly
democratic. With these facts
staring him in the face, and with
the republican majority in the
senate doomed, Mr.. Harrison can
hardly boast of a popularsindorse-
ment of his administration. New

The long and persistent efforts
of republican senator's who swell
public expenses for subsidies,
schemes of all sorts, salary grabs
and sinecures have been steadily
resisted by democratic houses, and
two unfortunate occasions since
1875 when the republicans have
controlled the house have witness
ed extravaganza and corruption
eliminating in the race for squand.
ering the peoples money, in which
the late billion-dollar congress
surpassed all of its predecessors,
The denomination of Mr.. Harrison
by the odiceholders' convention
once more puts this issue squarely
before the country. He not only
indorsed the extravaganza of the
billion-dollar congress and signed
its laws, but went further than
they did, demanding in his message
the passage of a steamship subsidy
bill of such mammoth proportions
that it frightened few timid re.
publicans IN the house, and the
passage of an election bill that
would have closed an already
bankrupt treasury to pay an array
of republican election officials
The record is made up on the issue
and it will be decided next No
vember whether the great schemes
of public plumber for individual
and party benefit that were toe
much for the tough stomachs oi
the Reed house or its more aristo-
cratic Legislative adjunct, the re-
publican senate, shall become law:

1t is possible that high-tariff
speakers in the approaching cam
paign will avoid the subject of
wages in protected industries.
The reductions recently made in
that industry which has enjoyed
the most comprehensive "protec-
tion,' and the greater reductions
now impending IN that industry,
make this subject rather unattrac-
tive for the republican can paigner
because of the promises made by
high-tariff leaders two years ago,
We have recently referred to the
sharp reductions in the wages
scale which are demanded by the
iron and steel manufacturers of
Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
The reductions proposed by Mr..
Carnegie's firm may be considered
apart from those demands. The
firms novel and elaborate pre-
parations for the defence of the
works at Homestead show that
Mr.. Carnegie and his associates
do not intend to make any conces-
sions. On the other hand, the
5000 workmen have decided that
they will not accept the reductions.
The prospect at present is that the
contest will be going on during
the campaign. New York Times.

The most remarkable sentence
in the speech of President Harri-
son TO the congratulating crowd
after his nomination was this: 81
have felt great regret that 1 was
unable to find a suitable place for
every deserving friend; but l have
insisted that l did not disparage
those l could not appoint to place"
This is & most naive remark from
President, but it shows clearly
Mr. Harrison's view of public Of
fee. 1t is a reward for his friends.
He laments that there were not
spoils enough. The qualification
for public service is friendship
for him. 81 am sorry" he says to
his party associates, "that l could
not reward all of YOU" Patriot
ism, disinterested support Of prin-
ciples, the duty of an honest exer-
else of the franchise, these are
considerations that do not occur
to him. He is sorry only that he
could not pay with a public salary
those who voted for him. A sim
pier and more childlike profession
of faith in spoils as the handspring
of the duty of citizen, we do not
recall, and the President clinches
it with the depreciation that he
does not disparage those to whom
he has nothing to give. Harper's
Weekly.

But while thus ruling upon the
constitutionality of the law, the

one or two, or more, democratic

AN ENGINEERS Joke.
He Proved Very Convincingly That He
Could Stop His Train Quickly.
From the Cbjcn0o Herald

He Proved Very Convincingly That He
Could Stop His Train Quickly.
From the Chicago Herald.
Mr. Smith tells of an instance illustrating
the peculiar methods of Mexican adminis-
tration of justice in connection with rail-
ways.
friend of mine was on trial for his life
on charge of granddaughter down near
Quintero. he bad been running passenger
train and had the misfortune to kill a man
walking on the track He had been in jail
for several months, and finally Minister
Osborne. who was then in Mexico, sues
ceeded in having his case called for trial.
Now, the Mexicans never listen to expert
testimony. They might hear you and me
in our own defense, but unless we could
corroborate testimony by some tangible
support like physical substantiGtion we
would cut but poor figure.
In the case l refer to the authorities in
sisted upon having the engineer reproduce
precisely the condition of affairs which led
to the accident. According the railroad
company had to rig up train of cars, pre-
cisely like that in which the accident oc-
CURED. 1t had to be loaded with
just as many people as the original
train had on board 1t had to
have the same engine and be taken to the
precise spot where the accident occurred.
A dummy figure was prepared to stand in
the exact spot where the man was killed.
Then the jury we're TO get on the train, and
the administrator de justlco' was to take
a seat in the cab and observe the efforts of
the engineer to stop it in time.
Now, the engineer who was demon strnt-
ing the problem was friend of the man on
trial. He intended to show the "adminis-
trador" something he had never before seen.
The idea was to take the train over the same
track. They went up the road about five
miles and then switched to come back for
the object lesson. The dummy was set up
on the track. The "administrador'took his
place in the cab, leaning more than half his
body out to better observe the figure, for he
was to give the signal when to stop. The
engineer let her out with grin. He was not
to travel more than thirty miles an hour,
but when the administrator" waved his
hand to check herman on the track"-he
was going fifty.
The fireman pulled the whistle, the engi-
neer sprang to his reverse lever and his
sandbox and gave her all the air there was
in the pump. In less than a second the
administrator de justicio" was out Of the
cab window into the ditch with O broken
ankle, the jury in the first passenger car
was piled into a promiscuous mass, the puff
fer -couplers were smashed. the stove WAS
upset, and yet the momentum was so great
that the engine struck the straw man and
knocked it twenty feet IN the air. The re-
suit of that object lesson was that the 'ad-
ministrador" lay in bed for six weeks, the
engineer was acquitted and the jury petit
toned the legislature of Choacan for a
change in the laws.
