THE NEXT Li1GIsI,ATURE.

That was a timely article which the
GLOBE reprinted yesterday morning
from the Norman County Herald. 1t
argued that the people should at once
begin to express themselves as TO what
they should want from the next legis-
lature. 1t asked what is the prevailing
opinion on the school text book Ques-
ton, on the liquor problem, on the
electoral college issue, on the regua-
ton of railroads, Oh the matter of usury,
on the tax laws, on internal improve
ments. 1t urged its readers to speak
up and let their views he known.
The GLOBE extends a similar invita-
ton. 1t also suggests to the country
press the propriety of creating a popu-
lar sentiment in favor of serious SEES
sion. A thousand questions of great
Importance ought to be considered and
disposed of during the winter. Some of
them the Herald has mentioned, but the
list is infinitely longer. Let the legisa-
ture keep itself clear from buncombe
bills, from futile discussions, from par
tisan wrangles, and get down to bust
ness. 1t will not do this unless it thinks
The people are in earnest about demand
ing it. Let the newspapers make it
clear that this is the general desire.

And Ask Executive Clemency for
Ella Colby.


There has been considerable activity
in an application to the governor for
the pardoning of Ella Colby, who was
connected with the noted $1,000 bill
dream case. The girl is but twenty
one years old. and is handsome and APP
parently not of bad disposition. She
pleaded guilty of being an accomplish
in stealing the bill from Mrs. Phillips;
that is, she said that Cornelia Alone
Thomas gave her the bill to get 1T
changed, claiming Mrs. Thomas wanted
her to dress in mems clothing and go to
Duluth to get the bill changed. She did
not do this, but size said she gave 1t to
Patsey Butler, of Minneapolis, who
blew part of it in on the races. Upon
her pleading guilty and turning states
evidence, she fully expected to be
turned loose. but 1t seems she was mis-
led by the advice OF F. l.. McGhee. the
colored attorney. The petition for her
pardon was generally signed by per-
SONS who sympathiZed with her. This
petition was presented to Gov. William
states that she was sentenced to the pen
itentiary for five years by Judge
Brill. and that the belief is that she
is innocent of the actual larceny
of the $1,000 bill. There are, in fact, sew
eral petitions. one of them being i'll
from Battle Lake. where she and the
girls family lived. Judge Bronson
Strain, of the Battle Lake Review, pre-
sented the petition to the governor and
made speech in behalf of Ella Colby'S
pardon. The governor has also been
approached from other sources in be-
half of the petition for pardon. The
girl is still in the Ramsey county Jail,
and, it is said, will not be taken to the
penitentiary until after an opportunity
has been given the governor to act in
the matter of on application for par

THE FEDERAL OFFICES.

There are large number of official
positions in Minnesota, of various de-
grees of value, winch are now filled by
Republicans. These positions will be
wanted by Democrats, and it is but right
that they should have them. In de-
termining who shall fill these positions.
the loyal, hard working and unselfiSh
Democrats of the respective nelghDor-
hood, should agree among themselves
as to the most fit and most deserving
man among them for the office. The
man selected should be thoroughly COM
petent and of clean character, manly
and accommodating. He should be
Democrat, whose devotion to the prin-
ciples Of the party never waivers and
whose efforts for the success OF these
principles are intelligently put forth
upon ali proper occasions.
In this connection the GLOBE is dis
posed to try to impress upon the Democ-
racy of the state the necessity Of the
selection of none but worthy candidates
for appointment to Office, AMI the i'm
portance of the Democrats of the re-
spective localities coming to an agree
ment as to who the candidates shall be.
There will be nobody between them
and the national administration to SO.
K" their applications. The Democratic
member of congress, in districts where
there is one, should be consulted. In
districts where the Democratic candi-
date for congress was defeated, such
candidate should be conferred with as
fully as though he had been successful.
The following letter, which a Demo
cratic member of congress addressed to
a constituent. is to the point, and is
therefore given, emitting names:
My Dear Sir: Yours is at hand, Lit
is yet too early for definite action in re-
lation to appointments under the in
coming administration. Until Mr..
CLEVELAND gives some intimation of
his course in such matters we can do
nothing at all.
| have in all cases adopted the uni
form rule of declining to make any
promises or pledges of any kind what
ever. | have made none. So far as |
am concerned purpose to give full and
fair consideration to every application
sent to me, with the single object of
strengthening the Democracy in each
ocality.
AS far as possible, prefer that the
Democrats-the working Democrats
in each town and village should agree
among themselves, and select for APP
pointment the person most satisfactory
to them.
One thing should be avoided. We
must not let the enemy select men for
us. Let no Democrat accept appoint
ment from President HARRISON with
the expectation that he will continue to
hold the office under Mr.. CLEVELAND.
| do not wish you to draw from this
letter any Inference that | am in the
least opposed to you, nor on the other
hand do wish you to draw from it any
positive promise What mean, and all
Imean, is that | will give the matter the
fullest ana fairest consideration, in the
friendliest spirit towards you, and with
the single object of strengthening the
Democracy in this district.
Let me impress upon you the desir-
ability of avoiding any local conflict in
this matter Ii possible, get the Demo-
Gratis together. Respectfully yours.

rEACAER VERSUS CLOWN.

University extension raises anew the
question whether people will listen to
didactic lecture. There is widespread
impression in the younger sections OF
our country that lyceum lecture, to be
popular. should consist of equal pasrt
of sense and nonsense. This test is APP
piled unfinchingly to such men as
john FIsKE, Prof. ELY or President
HARPER. The unthinking public, or
that public which habitually thinks
after it has spoken, is frank to declare
it bore if they are not amused, or at
least entertained. instruction seems
quite secondary. or entirely out of tue
question. Contact with men Of literary
or educational renOWn. wherein one
feels the personality and hears the voice
of an author who is everywhere read

is not fauitieSS and his elocution above

EXTRAORDINARY PRESUME
TION.

AcuriouS international controversy ap-
pears to have arisen between this cOun-
try and Spain regarding the Cuban Gus
tom house. The Spanish authorities in
Cuba desire to farm out the custom
house revenues to a French syndicate.
and Mr.. HARRISoN'S administration OBJ
jectS. 1t is difficult to figure out any
logical excuse for the objection, mas
much as this country has not been in the
habit of consulting the commercial in
terests of other nations in its own Gus
tom house regulations. The French
syndicate arrangement may contain
provisions which would disadvantage
us in our trade relations with Cuba, but
it undoubtedly promises handsome
profit to Spain; and our own code of in
ternational ethics contains nothing
which would justify us in demanding
of Spain the REIMBURSEMENT Of this
profit as a mere matter of courtesy to us.
Moreover, this country has itself
established the precedent of farming
out tariff privileges. Republican pro-
lection has resolved itself into mere
business arrangement between a sym
dictate of tariff baronS ana the Repub
lican party. The former pay their
quadrennial millions into the treasury
of the Republican party, and i'll return

of levying excessive tariff taxes, of

the revenues from the enormous indirect
tax on the consumers of the country GO
ing into the Golfers of this syndicate of
tariff barons. With such an arrange
ment still in force in this country, and
favored by the present administration,
it requires an extraordinary degree of
presumption for President HARRISON to
interpose an objection to Spain'S plan
for farming out the tariff privileges of
her nrincinal colony

The idea of passing
Christmas Furless is as alb
surd as allowing the ami

exhibit of Fur Novelties is
worth going miles to see,
and you will have to go
miles to see anything like it

quality, thewonderful thing
about our stock is the price.
The ladies are delighted i'll

play of New Designs as

for something which no one

doubtless owing to the eX-
tieme low prices we have
seen fit to make on this ar
ticle. Ladies are certainly
missing their chance when
they fail to get a MINK
GARMENT at present
prices. They are cheap,
very cheap, and so per cent
less than Eastern wholesale
prices. Mink articles are on
the top wave OF fashion East,
and Mink is bound to be

to select a Fur Set, a Fur
Muff or anything Of that
nature and lay aside for a

our surprise, we have been

TIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


That part of the country which has the
time and energy to read Mr.. HARRI-
SONS message will not be surprised to
learn that his attitude on the great issues
of the late campaign is unaffected 10y
the verdict of November the Sth. Like
woman, convinced against his will, he
is of the same opinion as he was before
the jury found in his opponents favor;
and he takes occasion in this. his last
public document, to renew his express
siOnS of faith in the virtues of a protect
i've tariff and in the crying need for Il
federal election law. The second prof.
ect he commends to the attention Of
congress with an ostensibly sincere idea
that it will be induced to give 1t som e
consideration. The first he refers to
only for the purposes of defending his
own diScrediied views. of pointing out
the difficulties which await the incom-
ing administration, and of suggesting
that legislation on the whole subject be
postponed until after the inauguration of
Mr.. CLEVELAND. The presidents de-
voti0n to the principles in battling for
which he was so completely worsted
would be heroic, were it not so futile,
and were it not indicative of a feeling
of hope on his part that the Democracy
will fail in the gigantic task which it
has undertaken. He says that he will
be glad If system can be devised
under which it will be possible for the
mills of both Europe and the United
States to be busy at the same time, and
under which the American workingman
can continue to receive high wages, in
spite of his exposure TO foreign compe
tition. But he clearly implies that he
will be overwhelmed with chagrin and
disappointment, should any such con-
summation be arrived at. Mr.. HARRI-
son is man of great intelligence and
profound attachments, and it is i'm
measurably discOuraging to hear him
repeat the stale formula of the pro-
tectionist at this hour. During the
heat Of the campaign, clap-trap of
this sort may be pardonable; but il
he honestly entertainS such sentl-
ments when they have no bearing on
his selfish ambitions, it only proves of
what little valde education is for the
elimination of prejudices. In other parts
of his message he cOngratulateS the
country on its peaceful relations with
outside nations, and yet here he DELHI
erately argues as though the industrial
and business distress of Europe would
contribute to our own prosperity. In
other parts of his message he recon-
mends the restriction OF immigration,
that our working classes may be pro-
tected from the underbiddding of pauper
labor; and yet here he deliberately
argues as though tariff on commodi-
ties were the same as tariff Oh men. 1t
would be too much to expect of Mr.
HARRISON frank surrender on these
matters, but he does not increase his
reputation by hurting a feeble dart
against the citadel of his victorious foes,
as did PRIAM when he retreated from
conquered Troy.
