THE CONVENTION.

Yesterdays conventi On was i'll every
way a successful and enthusiastic gath
ering. Mr.. HAVEN, of Faribault, whom
many of the delegates did not know
when he was named for the place,
proved courteous, fair, alert and eff
cient presiding officer. On the floor
were the best Democrats from all quar-
tiers of the state, and it was particularly
gratifying to see among them men like
Mr. DORIAN, Mr.. WILKINSON and Mr..
BUCK, who have grown gray in the par
ty's service. Every member who had
anything to say had an opportunity to
say it. and spirit of quare-dealing pre-
vailed no matter how much time its
observance consumed. The contest over
the preliminary organization and the
differences in the Third congressional
district about its representation on the
Chicago ticket showed that no faction
controlled the deliberations, and that
the traditional Democratic qualities of
independence and spunk were not want
ing on this occasion any more than on
any other. And yet at the end, under
the magic of GROVER CLEYELAND'S
name and Mr.. LAWYERS el0quence,
union and harmony came to the front;
and when the gentleman from LIE Sueur
took the platform at the chairs happy
suggestion. fianked OH one side by Mr..
O'BRIEN and on the other by Mr.. WINS
TON, there was no longer room for
doubt that the Democracy of Minnesota
was standing together against the COM
mon enemy

THE PLATFORM.

The most noteworthy feature of the
convention was the platform, which
has the merits of breyity, force, good
English and wisdom. LII its compost
ton the skillfpl:pens of Mr.. SMALLEY
and Mr.. CUTCHEoN, of our own county,
played the chief part. 1t meets squarely
the great issues to be before the people
in the coming campaign, which are the
tariff, the currency and the candidate.
1t declares first for the abolition of pro-
tectionism, not by violence and in
wanton disregard of vested interests,
but gradually, by the help of intelli-
gent remedial legislation. 1t declares
next for honest money made of gold and
silver, every dollar in which shall be
worth every. other dollar. and denies
the right or expediency of the govern
ment'S attempting to create values by
fiat. Last, and most important of all, it
pledges the states delegation to fur
Their the nomination of GROVER CLEvE
LAND, who is the foremost living ex-
ponent of the principles it advocates.
This is a good piece OF work well done,
rejecting credit on its authors and
promising to have very valuable infu-
ence on the country's contemporary po-
litical thought.

A MATTER OF TASTE.

President ELIOT, of Harvard univer-
sity, has often shocked the people who
grope in New England ruts by the ex-
preston of opinions that have no prece-
dent in his position. Some time since
he kicked the idol of protection rudely,
and its worshipers held up protesting
palms. Now he has been out to Utah,
and in a public address there spoke
pleasant words designed to encourage
the Mormons in their new departure
from the great mistake of their social
and religious system. He accepted as
honest their professions Of remuneration
of polygamy and purpose to act
as independent citizens III pub
lie affairs, and not the tools of
an ecclesiasticism. He even dared to
find some parallels in his historic re-
Election between their migration to
new and unsettled land and that of the
Pilgrim fathers. The latter came
through perilous ways to an inhospitable
land to possess the right to think their
own thoughts and worship God accord
ing to their religious views unmOleSted.
The MormopS claimed to follow SUI
pernal inspiration, and we're certainly
made to feel exceedingly uncomfortable
among the people who were their early
neighbors. They aimed to 90 beyond
the reach of annoyance and persecution
to exercise their rights of conscience.
In their outward circumstances and
ostensibIe aims there was much to sug
gest the Pilgrims and other religious
migrants. They sought region where
they would be let alone. No sympathy
for their faith or practices is needed in
the concession that they were sincere.
They had patriarchal social relation
that was good deal out of date, but
in the fullness of time better revela-
ton was had, and it is probably cred
tied by President ELIOT that it has been
put away honestly and finally. The
Pilgrims would not he quite popular
people in New England now. but they
were a first-class sort of ancestors in
primitive age. They should be rated
above the M0rmons, and il is, perhaps,
unfol tunate for the Harvard president
that his good-natured companions out
in Utah have been brought into the
home light It is more matter of taste
than nTinpiDlp

AS Ut NOW LOOKS.

Minnesota added Is votes yesterday
to the CLEVELAND column in the grow
ing statistics of the Chicago convention.
Those previously placed there are 2
from the District of Columbia, s from
Rhode Island and from North Dakota.
The district elections in Pennsylvania
have SO far progressed that it is safe to
count SO, if not the entire GA in the same
list. The only other delegates chosen
are the u for Hill in New York. No
delegate has been elected for the New
York senator outside of his own state.
The first county to act in Georgia is
reported for him, but whether that is
an index of the result in the state no
data at hand affords basis for an opinion.
The Atlanta Constitution is for him, is
are several who have been most promi-
nent in the politics of the state. Some
anticipate that the vote Of the state will
go that way. Othern Southern states
have been claimed for him, and may
prove to be. In the first instance, Iowa
will be for BOIES, Illinois for PALMER,
and probably Indiana for GRAY. These
states have 104 votes in convention.
Added to New York they make 176.
The convention will consist of 99S
delegates, 900 being necessary to a
choice under the tWo-thirds rule,
which will be adhered to. The
present outlook is that more than
the 600 Will be for CLEVELAND. 1t is
believed that the delegates from Hi
nois, Iowa and Indiana will be CLEvE-
LAND men, if their state candidates
are not in il. But there are nearly
three months before the conven-
ton, and great changes in the sit
uation may take place in that time.
AS the current now runs, CLEvE-
LAND will have votes enough to give
him the nomination. Whether he will
be nominated or not will not depend Ell
tireIy upon the number of delegates
who prefer him. The New York stua-
ton and temper will have something to
do with the result. If the antagonism
there is so lmplacab!e as to endanger
the state. there will be careful consid-
Grafton. Should the New York delega-
ton decide to accept the Judgment of
large majority, Mr.. CLEVELAND may
be nominated by reclamation. If he is
not the nominee, the man will evidently
be found in the West.

ALaw-aB1D1NG PEOPLE


The prompt acquittal of the woman,

tons for crimes of the more serious
sort Prisoners arraigned for the
lighter offenses are often found guilty.
but in the history of the county there
has never been an instance of capital
punishment. and our records are quite
free from successful prosecutions for
horrid and atrocious breaches of law.
This is not because our county attor-
neys have not been skillful at their bus
mess. for they have on the contrary,
especially of late years, been
able and successful practitioners
But it is partly due to the
feeling of the community. JurIes in a
new country are apt to be more lenient
than in the midst of long settled inter
eSts. The real substantial reason, how
ever. is that crimes are uncommon here,
and that the standards of conduct are
extraordinarily high. Sins against ia
ture, violent breaches of trust, passion
ate and deliberate murders have thus
far been foreign to our prevailing
habits OF life and thought. Such things
are common enough in the crowded

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Demand Will Be Made for Repeal
of the HaIf-Cut Duty.


of the HaIf-Cut Duty.
PHILADELPHIA, March 81. - Since
the sugar trust absorbed the reineries
of Harrison, Frazier 81 Co., E. c. Knight
u G. and Claus Spreckles, thus acquir-
ing control of all the Tefneries in the
country. the wholesale grOcerS. sugar
brokers and other classes of business
men have been contemplating steps to
arrest the threatened monopoly. Ell
forts have been made loOking to the
building of an independent refinery on
the property of William J. McCahan "
Co., mOlasses boilers on the Delaware
river, near SpreckePs refinery,
but the projectors nave not
met with much success. They have
therefore sought relief in the prepare
ton of Il bill for the repeal of the duty
of u cent per pound on refined grades
of sugars which they claim serves only
the purpose of allowing the trust to
control absolutely the entire refining
trade of this country.
The draft of the bill. it is understood,
has already been prepared by Samuel
Cuisine Thompson, All eminent lawyer
of this city and friend of eX-President
Cleveland Mr.. Thomas has been re-
Gently dining with Mr.. Cleveland at
Lakewood, and this has given rise to the
impression that the bill has been
favored by Mr.. Cleveland with the idea
of forcing the Republican party into an
attitude of defending monopoly if
they rest the passage of the bill.
Since the combination acquired con-
troll of the three reineries named the
price of refined sugars in this city has
advanced half a cent per pound. At
the same time raw sugar has declined
from the fact that there is but one
buyer-the trust. The bill will be sent
TO Washington tomorrow. Mr.. Thomp-
son declined to say who would offer it,
but it is believed that it VIII be either

OLD PsY Is DEAD.
Killed by the Horse Editor-None
Left to Mourn.

Left to Mourn.
Psychologists dead.
1t may linger around in spirit for
few brief moons. but the jig is up ana
only an injection of bichloride of super
natural power can reiuvenate the real
article. Rejoice, We teachers, and shout
with wild acclaim, for the hour of deliv-
erance has come at last. Old Psy is no
more. The horse editor of the GLOBE
put him out in one round by chance
blow, and you are at liberty to devote
your spare time to botany, fishing,
cinch or any other light pastime.
Supt. Gilbert thinks there was great
deal of misunderstanding about this
psychological business; that the ''hifa-
lutin" sound of the name did much to
impress people with the idea that the
subject was in some manner related to
SpiritualiSm. mind reading, or some
other occult science. Whatever absurd
notions outsiders may have entertained
respecting psychology, the teachers
themselves had a tolerably correct idea
OF the occult science, and with practical
unanimity decided that ''psy" had no
business lettering around the schools.
Call it arithmetic" Quoth Gilbert,
land you will hear no more kicking"
"Call'it pruneS if you wish" saith the
horse editor; but rose by any other
name will smell as sweet, and the only
name that will emit fragrance yet to
tickle the nostrils of the teachers is
dennis" So the horse editor christens
it Dennis out OF Difference to his host of
friends, and lets it go at that.
There will be examination the first
week in May to which all teachers are
cordially invited. The subject is psy-
chology. the object. permanent appoint
ment. The beauty of the contest is that
it is optional, and the prizes are distrb
uted regardless OF whether one enters
the lists or not. Up to date only four
people are spoken of in connection with
the examination, and it is likely that
that they will have it all to themselves,
for the rank and file of the teachers are
satisfied to leave them go it alone.
These are the principals: Carman,
Baker, Bryant and Farnsworth. the
psychological big four. 1t is anticipated
that these gentlemen will make the
struggle of their lives, and betting is
lively among the teachers as to the win
ner. A leather medal is being struck
off to be presented to No. l. A big red
apple will be given No. 2. Nos. and
will probably be transferred to other
schools.
