VERMONT A BAROMETER

a Minneapolis evening paper, which
always floors itself when it tackles cleo
ton figures, shouts Vermont is all
right" and then proceeds to make itself
ridiculous on Tuesdays election re-
turns. 1t says the Republican majority
on governor is 10000 lit is really only
10000, and that HARRISON will have 49,
600 (his majority in 1881 more votes
than CLEVELAND in the Green Mount
am state this year. What nonsense! In
the last twenty years the Republican
majority Oh governor has never varied
a thousand from that on president in
the same year. For example, in 1883
the Republican majority on governor
was Is. 995, and on president rs, 404. Could
anything be palmer to sane man than
that the Republican majority on presi-
Nent would be either a little less or a
little more than $4,000 this fall in Yer
mont. But, after all, what is this Re-
publican forced smile put on for now?
w ny insist that Vermont is all right,
when the merest boy. unused to any
mathematics beyond addition, can see
at glance that it is all wrong? Who is
going to believe that majority of 19. 900
III 1892 shows as favorable Republican
outlook as 1885 in 1883? By the way,
there is no surer barometer of how the
country is going in November each
presidential year than the September
elections in the same year of poor little
despiSed Verm ont. Ii our dazed con-
temporary will study the election
figures of that state for twenty years
Just prior to this presidential year, he
VIII make discovery which will instruct
II 1t does not please him. 1t is this
significant fact-that in every instance
where the Republican majority in Yer
mont has in September run below q, 900
the Democrats have carried the coun-
try. In 1876 the Republican majority
was 4,076, and the Democrats carried
the country by an overwhelming major
lty, being afterward wheedled out of
the presidency by a partisan electoral
commission. In 1880 the Republican
majority was 27,251, and GARFIELD was
elected president. In 1884 the Repub-
llcan majority was %. 1873, and CLEvE-
LAND was chosen to sit in the White
house. In 1888 the Republican majority
was 2S,995, and HARRISON was elected.
In 1892 the Republican majority was
$4,000. and-the GLOBE will permit its
contemporary to imagine the awful ca
lamlty that IS impending. On some sub
JectS some newspapers ought to talk
very sparingly. This year Vermont is
one of them.

prevails, no trouble Of violent nature

strike. Lower wages are paid by Marin

will not start up the mills

strike continues long, in which case
many Menominee mills on the bay shore
will be compelled to shut down for the

THE CHOICE OF a CAREER.

JOHN Il. SULLIVAN publishes card
over his own signature, explanatory of
his defeat. He attributes it to his time
OF life. THE years that gather from
twentyeight to thirty-four make an
awful difference in man," said he.
Il have just realized what a precious
thing youth is"
1t is not likely that the bruiser wrote
this himself, but it is true. The years
from twenty-eight to thirty-four do
make great difference in a man. If
he is pugilistthey mark the termina-
ton OF his career. If he is engaged in
any pursuit worthy of a human being
they are the slack-water period between
the preparation and the achievement.
The highest rewards in life belong 10
the calllngs in which there is the long
est delay in fruition. The great thing
for a young man is to be doing some
thing today, the performance of which
fits him to do something more important
tomorrow. There are trades besides
prize fighting which boy of twenty
can do better than one twice his age.
There are others in which ones skill
grows with ones years.
1t is very foolish for any one to chain
himself down thoughtlessly during his
youth to temporary success. Ii the re-
ward at the beginning is very large it is

THE GLOBES CONGRATITLa.
TIONS.

Inc GLOBE owes an apology to the
Hon. WILLIAM HENNERY EUsTIs for
Its failure to formally congratulate him
on MS apotheosis in its issue imme-
diately following that electrifying
event. But the damp weather of night
before last took the curl all out of its
vocabulary, and it did not propose to
tender him an Offering in any way un-
worthy of the elevated rhetorical stand
ard which he himself has set for the
blooming Northwest. The thunder and
lightning which still prevail after an
interval of more than twenty-four
hours sadly interfere even now with
the fitting performance of this solemn
pleasure. 1t makes it necessary for
the GLOBE to either write its
eulogy out of doors in a driving rain
storm, which would give it's effort a
spotted and teary appearance alto
gether out of keeping with the contem-
poraneouS national rejoicing over his
elevation, or would limit it to the
confines of some man-constructed edi-
flee as it works, and this would be
quite too narrow for its proposed treat
ment of the subject. 1t may, perhaps,
be said that this period is somewhat
involved, incOherent and unintelligible.
but Mr.. EUsTIs will not mind it. AS a
| master of style, he will understand this
to be an evidence of high literary skill
Oh the GLOBES part, because it shows
that the GLOBE cannot think of Mr..
EusTIs without talking like him.
But, again like Mr. EUsTIs, the
GLOBE digresses. What it means to say
is this: 1t never can deal adequately
| with the Republican candidate for the
mayoralty of Minneapolis except when
| it has no other covering DER its head
than heavens blue canopy. 1t needs
the inlrlte realms of space before It's
eyes and lots of elbow room when if
| tackles his yOltaic personality, and if it
were not for fear that he should think
it mark of neglect or disrespect it
would still further postpone its con-
| CALCULATIONS until a more stimulating
| season. Neither the GLOBE nor any
one else, however. can afford to neglect
or exhibit disrespect for Mr.. EUsTIs. On
behalf of the world, therefore, this paper
| presents himWith its roSeSt fluctuations.
Every one who attended the recent ma
tional convention in his city remembers
| him. His perilous journey about the
headwaters of the Mississippi with
Father HENNEPIN on that occasion will
not soon be forgotten. His unprece-
dented lack Of control over his voice
and his undaunted flights of oratory
under the most adverse circumstances
have made him marked man. Had
| BLAINE been nominated and elected
| EUSTIS would have been minister to the
court of st. James. As it is, he is going
to do the next best thing. He is going
to run for mayor of Minneapolis. If a
prodigal expenditure of figures of
speech determine the result, he will be
| successful.

S. j. AHERN,s CASE.

The sentence of S. j. AHERN to an
Imprisonment of sixty DAYS in the work
house for the publication of a criminal
libsl calls emphatic attention to the
seriousness of certain practices which
have for some time been common in
this country. From the evidence at the
trial it appears that several years ago
the defendant duly acknowledged an
instrument before a notary public of
this city. Afterwards, whether through
forgetfulnesS or for another reason it is
edgment had ever been made, and put
his denial in the form of an affidavit,
and caused it to be recorded with the
register of deeds. This affidavit falsely
and publicly charged the notary with
unauthorized certifcation.
The defendants primary idea was
probably in this way to stain or clear
the title to the real property which the
instrument in question affected, but in
cidentally, at any rate, he attacked
fellow citizens good character. with
unhappy consequences to himself. But
the point which deserves especial notice
is this: Even if the certificate had in
point of fact been unauthorized, the
affidavit about it had no right to be re-
corded. The filing of atfidavits is not
the proper method of trying the title to
land. The law provides adequate ma
chinery for this purpose, and it is the
duty OF interested parties TO have re-
course to it.
A contrary impression is widely prev
alent. and attorneys and laymen seem
to consider themselves Justified in using
the registers Office as a short cut for
settling their disputes about such mat
tiers. In the old days real estate agent
who had effected sale which the owner
DECLINED to confirm used to bring him
to terms by promptly clouding his title
with contract. An amendment to the
statute of frauds put a stop to this
scheme. The same sort of thing still
persists, however, in another form.
Fictitious notices of lis pendens are
very prevalent. sometimes even when
no case is pending at all. In this way
property owners are often forced to
compromise claims which have no merit
whatever. because if they do not they
will have to undergo the expense of
litigation and delay before they can get
the record clear. Unfortunately, it is
not practicable to completely guard
against these dishonest tactics. But
the predicament OF S. j. AHERN is a
warning to those who indulge in them.
They are playing with fire, and not
many will mourn if they burn their
fingers.

NOT A BAILABLE CASE,

There is no occasion for extending
hysterical sympathy to Miss. LIZZIE
BORDEN, in Jail at Taunton, Mass,
charged with the murder of her father
and mother. There is possibility of
the young womaD's innocence, but cir
cumstantial testimony is strong against
her, and there is certainly no occasion
for showing greater cons liberation for
her than for other suspects resting under
the graveSt of all charges. The move
ment looking to her release on bail by
special act OF the governor of Massa-
chusetts should. anG undoubtedly will,
prove abortiye. The argument of those
who instituted this movement is that
the only testimony against Miss BoR-
DEN is that ''hers was an exclusive op-
Dortunity." This is not true. There
is other testimony graveiy crimi-
natory, but even the exclusive
opportunity" aspect of the case
would seem to entirely warrant the re-
fusal of bail to Miss BORDEN. When
opportunity to commit crime is ex-
clusively limited to one person the pre-
sumption of guilt is assuredly very
strong againS. that person. since super
natural agencies III the commission of
crimes are not recognized by either law
Or reason. Moreover, the enormity of
the crime charged against Miss BORDEN
cannot be used as legal or logical evil
dence of her innocence. Unfortunately
the annals of crime show that women,
while not so frequently criminal as
men, are even more atrociously SO on
occasion. Some of the fouleSt murders
i'll history have been done by the soft,
white hands of women. Miss BORDEN
may be innocent, aud it is far from the
GLOBES purpose to claim the con-
tary, but until her innocence is proven
the proper place for her is between the
four walls of prison cell.

Noticed an article in the Pioneer
Press few days since claiming that
there has been a great falling off in
mortgage foreclosures the past year,
and gave the credit to the Mckinley
tariff bill. 1t looks to me that the big
crops of last year have done more for the
prosperity of the country than it has
got credit for, and that, had the last
years crop been a failure like the
previous years. mortgage foreclosures
would have made bowling wilderness
of Minnesota; and further, the big
crop in the Northwest has saved the
country at large from financial revolu-
ton that would have eQualed that of
1887, when bankruptcy and failures pre-
dominated all over the land. Over
