THE BRITISH COMMONS.

After three days of caloric discussion
the British house of commons has passed
a motion of 'no confidence" in the
SALISBURY ministry. The debate, of
course. had no effect on the vote. the
latter being foregOne conclusion from
the time the election returns Indicated
a Gladstonian majority. 1t is rather
difficult to comprehend, from our brisk.
buSiness-like American standpoint, what
necessity existed for three-days. or
even a three-minute discussion Of a
motion which has already been put to
the country and carried. 1t cannot even
be explained as filibustering device,
inasmuch as the minority was quite re-
signed to the inevitable, and Gn the case
of the ministry the designations were
already on paper, ready to be, handed
in. Perhaps political effect was the ami
mus of the debate, but, if so. was case
of locking the stable door after the horse
was gone, since the elections are all
over instead of just coming on. The
only Reasonable hypothesis on which
this lengthy debate in reply to the
queeR's speech can be explained is that
it is in accordance with ancient British
custom-and in Great Britain, to para
phrase Mr.. Pope:
In spite of pride, in erring reasons spite,
One truth is clear-whatever's old is right
There are other ancient customs to
be observed before the commons can
get through the business Of adjourning.
Mr.. GLADSTONE must journey to the
Isle of Wight to get the queens COM
mand to form new ministry. Of
course, this command, too, is foregone
conclusion. and it could either be dis
pensed with altogether, or, at the worst,
sent by telegraph, except that, I'M
fortunately, the custom comes from a
time when the royal parsonage cut
some figure in the case and when the
telegraph was unknown. While Mr..
GLADSTONE makes this trip the COM
mons will kill time and fight the flies in
town, and 1t will probably be the latter
part of next week before the new min
istry is announced and parliament adj
journs. John Bull is slow and heavy
mover in domestic matters, but he
makes up for it in the lively chase he
gives other nations in the items of for
eign trade. conquest and colonization.

K1EFER OR RoGERsq

The Fourth congressional district is
watching with interest the contest be-
tween Col. KIE FER and Mr.. ROGERS for
the Republican nomination. Col. KIEFER
is all old resident of st. Paul, who has
worked hard for his party in this county
for many years. He has a credltable
military record, wide circle of friends
and admirers, and his personal appear
ance and his manners are so much in
his favor that he has but to meet man
i'll order to capture him as supporter.
Two years ago he made the race for
mayor, sacrificing himself in an appar-
emily hopeless fight for the good of the
cause. He was defeated after a cam
paign of extraordinary vigor. partly oW-
ing to the popularity of his competitor,
and partly owing to the unprecedented
and open treason of his natural allies.
This year he declined the nomination for
mayor because of domestic affection,
and because the leaders of his party
wanted to reserve him for higher honors.
These higher honors he is now seeking
with such temperate zeal as becomes a
patriot and statesman.
"a Mr.. ROGERS is gentleman of no
mean ability, of sterling honesty. and
of much strength of character. He was
at one time prosecuting attorney of this
county, and afterwards won an enviable
position in general civil practice at our
bar. Some years ago he abandoned the
law for bigger things. and of late has
been resident of Chicago. He has re-
Gently returned to st. Paul, and at once
entered the race for the congressional
nomination. 1t remains to be seen
whether he will get it or not. He has
usually gotten what he has tried for,
which includes large number of the
best gifts his party has had to confer
The GLOBE admires him personally,
and recognizes his good qualities, but
there are those who say that he ought
to step aside and let Col. KIEFER have
the prize. Col. KIEFER is an older
man than he is. and has enjoyed
none of the rewards which befit
his faithful service. The same peo-
pie call Mr.. ROGERS a carpe tbag-
ger and accuse him of having only
temporary abiding place in the midst
of us, and that, too, for political pur-
poses; while they point to Col. KIEFER's
unswevering and loyal attachment to
the city during its times of depression
as we'll as during its boomful days.
To the Democracy it makes but little
difference which one succeeds. because
neither can be elected: but should Mr..
ROGERS be nominated, it would become
a question for voters to decide whether
a man who suffered his name to drop
from our directory when every name
was precious for the maintenance of
our local glory ought to be chosen as
the representative of this district in
congress. The Democracy would be
sure to make this burning issue in the
campaign.

The Review of Reviews, commenting
Oh the tariff plank of the Democratic
national platform, says:
THE position of parties is clear
and unmistakable on this issue. The Re-
publlcans are for the protective features of
the tariff and the Democrats are against
them. 1t is q bold and unequiYocal position
that the Dem ocrats have now taken as a tree
trade party. Of course il would not
be fair TO interpret the platform as meaning
that the Democrats, if in possession of all
the branches of the government, would i'm
mediately sweep away every protective
schedule from the tariff and substitute a
revenue tax on tea, coffee and a few other
staple imports, on the British principle But
we are to understand that they would bring
about such change as soon as they thought
it could be done without serious disaster to
existing industries
This is preposterous, and a million
miles away from the truth. The Re-
publican press talks In such fashion
with the nendacity of craftsmanship:
but an Independent, broad-mindcd mag
azine of the character of the Review of
Reviews should not follow its example.
The Democracy has not declared for
free trade, but for revenue tariff.
From S400,000,000 to $500, zoo, 900 a wear
are needed to pay the running expenses
OF the central government. The bulk
of this sum has to be raised, and will
have to be raised, through the medium
of import duties. To this system of Sc
curing the means for IFS support the
nation is permanently committed. The
Democracy has expressed 10 intention
OF abandoning it OF of introducing in its
place a scheme of exclusively direct
taxation.
The difference between the great
parties on this question is not hard to
understand. The Republicans would
use the states power of taxation, not
alone for tie purpose Of getting money

POLITICAL PROPHETS.

1t is one OF the profoundeSt of popular
delusons that when man gets public
Office he is on that account somehow
segregated from his fellow citizens and
inspired with eX ceptional political acu
men and foresight. One of the features
OF newspaper correspondence from
Washington since the national conven-
tons were held has been to exploit the
opinions of cabinet officers, senators and
congressmen on the situation. To be
sure, these gentlemen have been kept
busy all the while at their desks, in
committee rooms and in trying to escape
the deadly effect of the capitals torrid
heat; but, nevertheless, they seem to
know 1t all. a weather prophet could
not be more dogmatic in his pre-
Gictions than they are. The men,
Der from Northern California is thor
Oughly conversant with the condition of
popular sentiment in his district. though
how on earth he learned about it, seeing
that he has not been there for many
months, it is pulling to understand.
But their views are highly valued, if
the size of the telegraph bills incurred
in transmitting them is a fair indica-
ton. 1t required several columns, for
example, to give liz full what Secretary
TRACY thinks about the outlook, and
yet it cannot be said TO be money mis-
spent. This same gentleman year ago
ventured that Mr.. FAssETT would be
elected governor Of New York by 10000
majority. 1t is true that he got the
name of the victor wrong. 1t should
have been FLOWER instead of FAssETT.
But the figures were all right. This
season he comes up smiling with the
most rosy guesses. HARRISON will have
New I DIRK without struggle, and by
little vigorous campaigning West Vlr-
GINA, Tennessee and North Carolina
will swing over into the Republican col
umn. He admits, however, that Texas
is safe for the Democracy. The GLOBE
repeats ali this for what it is worth
not for what it is worth as the telegraph
companies estimate it, but for what it
Is worth in itself. In the same way it
gives our own Senator DAVIS and our
own Senator WAsHBURN's prophecies.
They are both at home, now that con-
greSS has adjourned, and, not having set
foot in any quarter of the state except st.
Paul and Minneapolis for about wear,
have the most intimate acquaintance
with the feelings Of the farmers. They
expect an old-time Republican victory
In Minnesota. 1t is a great thing to be

publcans are upon Senator Davis, in spite of

The Carlton Vidette SAYS that "a thrill of

lover of Carlton at the news from st. Paul on
Thursday last. Ii. ii. Hawkins a representa-
tive Carlton man, received from the repre-
sentatiyeS CT the state, in convention assem-

This, while no doubt it affords great satisfac-
tod to bis innumerable friends in this part

experience, is amply qualified to nil any posi-
ton in the gift of his fellow citizens of
Minnesota and if elected, as he undoubt-
edly will be. he will fulfill the duties of his
Office in manner creditable to himself and
honorable TO this county,"
The Little Falls Herald scores "a clean
knock-ou Of one of its contumacious con-
temporaries as follows: THE odd County
Argus quotes an article from the Herald, urg-
ing smokers to patronize the homemade
cigars, and insists that the Herald is incon-
sislent i'll urging such proposition and op-
posing a protective tariff. There is slight
difference, Brother Sheets, between asking
men to buy at home and passing laws to COM
pei them to do so. Should we advocate
law compelling our people to buy only such
articles are manufactured i'll Little Falls,
Brother Sheets would ridicule us. We only
ask people to give home dealers the prefer
ence as long as they can get just as much and
of as good quality as they can elsewhere.
The protective tariff theory doesn't con-
template any such thing. 1t aims to give the
protected manufacturer the right to charge
whatever he pleases and the balance of his
couEtrymen must buy of him.

the proprietors of various industries
that the profits of their ventures might
be greater. In some cases they would
do this directly by means of bonuses or
gratuities. and in other cases by arti-
ficlally protecting them from natural
competition.
The Democracy is absolutely opposed
to this method. 1t claims that it vir-
tually amounts to taking from one man
the fruit OF his effort and giving it to
another, and that this is wrong. Its po-
sition is that the government has no
concern with the business enterprises
of individuals further than to see that
every man is permitted to use his own
powers freely for his own development.
A citizen has right to look to the gov
eminent for fair play. but not for gifts
or largeSSeS. When the government
begins to deal in these it becomes
source of favoritism and source Of
injustice. The Democracy does not
deny that tariff is proper instrument
for raising the states revenues. 1t does
deny that tariff is properly employed
for shaping the character of the nations
industrial life.

Nettleton on immigration.


THE immigration laws are as full of holes
as ever-holes through which many an unde-
slrabie Immigrant can squeeZe-and all be-
cause congress failed to enact this much
needed legislation
Assistant Secretary Nettleton said this
regretfully. He has probably taken more
interest in immigration matters than any one
In Washington, and it is certainly through no
fault Of his that the bill introduced by Mr..
Henderson, of Iowa, to regulate immigration
failed of passage.
Experience has demonstrated" said Mr..
Nettleton, that very large proportion of
the crime of the country, Of the riots and of
the strikes. can be directly traced to our de-
fectiye immigration laws Just as long as we
allow the scum of Europe to be dumped
upon our shores, just SO long will we have
trouble with the laboring classes, and Just so
long will there be an abnormal proportion of
crime. If you will look into this matter YOU
will find that large proportion of our GRIM
inals are foreign born. and many OF these,
although having lived here for years, have
not become naturalized.
Il was greatly disappointed that congress
failed to act. The senate was as much to
blame as the house, for there the Washburn

senate by the committee on immigration.
