Some weeks ago certain Boston papers
contained the statement that Governor
Burlelgh was not going TO re-appoint
Gov. Robie, Gen. Shepherd and Hon.
Lyndon Oak upon the board Of trustees OF
the Insare hospital, alleging that he was
going to make over the board so as to be
able to remove the treas urer of that in
stitu ion. This was afterward modified
SO as to apply to Gov. Robie, only. The
fallacy Of this statement Is appare mt
when it Is known that the treasure is re.
movable by the Governor and Council and
not by the board Of trustees. Beside th'
Governor has re-sppolnted these trustees
which entirely discredits these newspape
predictions. Some correspondents know

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Commercial club opened its hand
some rooms yesterday with an appro-
pirate and successful entertainment.
1t has nearly a thousand members
drawn from all classes of our local bust
ness world, and starts out with every
prospect OF a notable success. The en-
thusiasm and widespread interest the
enterprise has excited proves that it
supplies an actual need. Its best work
will not necessarily be in formal meas
ures for the city's development, but in
the quiet discussions and exchanging OF
opinions in the lounging rooms and over
the lunch tables. There are thousands
of men filled with valuable ideas and
capable of efficient service towards the
general welfare, who are silent and I'M
achieving because they have had no
means of coming in contact with
their fellows and securing their
sympathy and cooperation. Now and
here is their opportunity. The GLOBE
predicts that the Commercial club will
become center of intelligent and we'll
sustained agitation along non-partisan
lines. 1t will also supply pleasant
place of rendezvous for many people at
the days close and in the evening
hours, where time can be beguiled in
restfuI gossip and the other recreations
which make social life so delightful.

JUSTICE FALTERS.

Advices from the front indicate that
all will soon be quiet along the lines of
boodleism in Chicago. State Attorney
LoNGENEcKER is alarmed. He be-
iieyeS there is leakage of state secrets
in the prosecution. Evidence adduced
before the grand jury seems to be
strangely familiar to people who have
no business with it. IL has become a
serious matter in the eye of the prose-
cution, and what started out with a
pecan of victory bids fair to return de-
feated. demoraliZed host.
All this is far from reassuring to low
erS Of justice and good citizens gener-
ally. But what are the facts? Seven
alleged boodlerS have been so far in
dicted by the Cook county grand jury.
They happen to be all Democratic alder
men. There are Republicans in the
council, and among the suspects. So
far it appears impossible to secure evil
dence against them, or the evidence
submitted is not considered weighty in
the eyes OF Republican prosecuting
attorney and the Republican foreman
of the grand jury. Democratic journals
Ill Chicago are grumbling. They claim
that conditions are not adventurous to a
fair, impartial prosecution of these
cases. The states attorney is Repub-
tican candidate for governor. The
shadow of political interest hangs over
the case and blinds with partisanship
the executors of the law. The prosecu-
ton wavers, and defeat is in the air of
Chicago. All of which is sad. But

TAX ON COFFEE.

The reciprocity scheme which Mr.
Blaine persuaded Mr.. Mckinley to in
clude in his tariff bill has proved to be
a humbug and Swindle. For this rea-
son foreign countries decline to re-
ciprocate, and the president has under
taken to make commercial war upon
them.-Memphis Appeal-Ayalanche.
The language of the presidents proc
lamation reimpOsing the duty on
sugar. mOlasseS, coffee, tea and hides
imported from Colombia, Hayti and
Venezuela is of about the tenor of the
ukaseS of the ear of Russia and the
commands of the German emperor. 1t
is cOuched in language not familiar or
agreeable to American people.-PrOYi-
dence Telegram.
The Mckinley president and his party
have put back on coffee a tax that the
Republican party had sense enough to
take off at time the national debt was

THE WISCONSIN GERRYMAN-
DER

No Democrat need be sorry that the
Wisconsin apportionment bill has been
declared unconstitutional by its SUI
preme court. Rather let him rejoice
that the bench has been able to decide
partisan question with complete superb
ority to partisan considerations. There
were excuses for this measure. 1t was
perhaps sweet retaliation for previous
Republican achievements in the same
direction. But, unquestionably, its pur-
pose was to so divide the state that the
uninterrupted supremacy of the Dem
ocracy might be secured in spite of
changes in the popular sentiment.
The GLOBE does not believe in this
sort of thing. 1t is better to develop
a taste in the masses for fair dealing, so
that they will always insist Oh justice in
such matters, than to debauch their
ideas by Subjecting them TO the specta-
Gle Of powers prostitution for the pur-
pose of revenge. Gerrymandering does
not pay. The Ohio Democrats when
they last controlled the legislature
stole march of this sort on the enemy;
and now the enemy, having the upper
hand again, has put them to still worse
confusion. Honesty is the best policy in
politics. as in other things; and even if
it were not, it is the duty of high
minded men to observe it.

WHO THEY ARE FOR.

The emphasis with which the conven-
ton in the most populous county in
North Dakota, Saturday. rejected an
amendment to its instructions for
CLEVELAND in the coming state con-
vention, leaving the delegates without
instructions, is taken as merely remov-
ing doubt that North Dakota will be
counted for the eX-president. There
are some very earnest advocates of
Hit IN the party there, but they ap-
parently will be largely in the minority.
Whether this policy is the wisest is
not considered. 1t is only referred to
as one of the indications Of the political
waters. That state had a number of
little causes of friction with the CLEyE-
LAND administration. The territorial
governor sent out from New York
did not promote family peace, ard
the administration was held responsible
for the absurdities of Commissioner
SPARKS in the administration of the
land Office. Some who thought they
should have offices did not obtain them.
The free coinage sentiment is supposed
to have good deal of currency there.
Still, the state seems to be for CLEyE-
LAND. The situation is reported very
similar in South Dakota The, ALI
ance is strong there, and its leaders

Brother Cooks argument against the

PETTIGREW ON TOE.

The Republican convention in South
Dakota, to convene today, has no
more important task than the selection
of eight delegates to Minneapolis. yet 1t
promises to be fully up to the standards
of the party in that state for vivacity
and fist shaking. The dizziness and
stagnation of harmony and mutually OF
feeling are not on the programme.
There is no variety of politics big enough
to have row that is not inclined to be
breezy in that section, and the Repub-
licans come nearest TO the blizzard spe-
cies, as they have control of the chief
Indictment, public patronage. This is
what promises the entertainment
with the Republicans. The things
to be dispensed have been like the
food supplies in some of the Russian
districts, with no satisfying, relation to
the wants. The president has very nat
urally been able to recognize most cas-
lily the Indiana man in the governors
chair as his adviser in the distribu-
ton. MELLETTE is regarded as much
of the carpet-bag suggestion, as he came
out there to hold a land Office. His Sc
lection as the spoils purveyor was
very material thing for his fellow Hoo
sier, but, in view of present appearances.
not quite the polite one. Senator PET
TIGREw is the motive force on the other
side. He is an old-time rustler. and has
apparently scooped the governor in
the election of delegates, but the
latter has the advantage of the
officeholderS' support, and the feel
ing in favor of HARRISON, which is
somewhat strong in the party in that
state. The PETTIGREw men are only
so far anti-H HARRISON that they want to
jump on him if he is down, but if they
cannot beat him they will vote for him.
They would have no real friends of the
president in the delegation, and do not
mean that MELLETTE shall be on the
national committee again. They would
impress upon HARRISON the fact that
he has mistaken the real boss of the
party. PETTIGREW has been toning up
somewhat of late. He gives it out that
he will be shocked to see the worlds
fair leave gate open Oh Sunday, and
does not let the public eye rest on the
Jackpot" when the chips are large. 1t
is believed he will hold a winning hand
at Chamberlain.
