AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN,

When the GLOBE went to press yes
terday morning, the poignancy of the
defeat was mitigated by its firm convic-
ton that CARY l. WARREN was not
numbered among the slain. Later ad-
vices, however, have proved this to be
a mistake. In a minority by ten votes.
the noble warrior has fallen just out
side the breastwOrks. Everybody is
sorry for his discontinue except the
Eighth ward. The Eighth ward is not
sorry, but it has disgraced itself, which
is IN uch worse. Mr.. WARREN is a
Southern statesman of original ideas
and advanced theories on ward politics.
He lived in st. Paul some years ago,
but of late has been tarrying in Jericho
for an interval. He. returned from his
exile just before the election. enaTnored
of the advantages of an educational
campaign. He was of the opinion that
the free distribution of beer was not
essential to success at the polls, even
amid the polyglOt people of the Rice
street district. He was satisfied that it
would be enough to argue with them
and appeal to their reason. a very pict-
uresque figure indeed he has present
ed during the past ten days, explaining
the principles of Anglo-Saxon liberty to
the gentlemen from Poland and Arabia
who have been listening to his speeches.
Let him not be discouraged by his ex-
perlence A defeat by ten votes is
almost victory. The GLOBE has the
satisfaction of knowing that it published
Mr.. WARREN's portrait in its columns,
and contributed in this way, as far as
lay in its power, to the glorious outcome.

WOMaN,s SCHEME

Reference has recently been had to
the hotel or d0rmitOry the ladies are to
erect for their use during the worlds
fair. 1t is to cost some hundreds of
thousands of dollars, all of which is to
be provided in SO shares, only limited
number of which are to be allowed any
state Or individual. One share. how
ever, can be owned by syndicate of
women. No men are to have anything
TO do with the enterprise, or to share
any of its privileges when erected. A
considerable number of shares have
lately been taken by st. Paul ladies', but
it is not stated whether the allowance
for the locality is exhausted. The
enthusiasm developed by the scheme
is very great, and makes the
demand greater than the sup
ply of shares. The holders of
the shares are entitled to rooms in this
hotel at low rate during the fair. 1t is
located eight miles from the fair
grounds, but connected with them by
eighty trains daily, at five cents fare.
The great advantage is that ladies can

the very capable and bus;ne5slike way
In which the ladies are utilizing their

AREPUBLICAN REFERENDUM.

How unified the Republican party is
to the referendum is not left to surmise
or deduction. 1t has given the country
within two years striking illustration
of how hostile it is to the principle of it,
and how little it cares for the vOx pop
uli when it opposes the paternalistic
measures of the party. In October, 1890,
after months of consideration and prep
aration, that party presented to the
country bill in which was developed
fully its conception that the individual
citizen is incapable of conducting his
own affairs, and that 1t is the province
and duty of the government to do it for
him. As all human industry takes. di-
rectly or indirectly, the form of ex-
changing its products, and, as the meas
ure referred to was designed to regu-
late and protect the industries" of
this people, it was an applica-
ton of the paternalistic theory
which affected every citizen of
the country. Shortly after its passage
the congress which passed it adjourned
and went to the country on it. There
was no express submission of it. as i'm a
referendum, of course, but 1t became
the sole issue in the elections which fol
lowed in the next month. 1t was
thoroughly discussed, and the voters re-
jected it by defeating the congressman
who had passed it with unanimity
never before equalled in this country.
That congress met again in the succeed
ing month: What heed was paid to
the decision of the peoDle? A Repub-
lican president declared that the peo-
pie did not know what they wanted;
that the measure was what they needed,
ana that when the people got used to
it they would like it. And the congress
went on with its spending as if the peo-
pie had not told them to repeal the
measure they had rejected. 1t was this
incident. possibly, that made the Union
league conclude that it would be just as
well for the Republican party to go
slow in adopting the referendum. They
might get laughed at.

THE NEXT SENATE.

Things nave not been coming the
Democratic way of late in quite the
tumultuous manner of couple of years
ago, but the kinks will come out when
the lines are drawn in the presidential
contest. It will not be a misfortune if
the 0ne-sided condition Of the popular
branch of congress is somewhat changed.
Dissensions and the friction OF minor
differences have too much room for
play. Too many Democrats have of
late been absent, and the Republicans,
having more regard for party than the
public interests, have embarrassed buSi-
ness by refusing to be counted in max
Ing up a quorum. But the Demo
Gratis will be better off with
a substantial working majority in the
next house. The Republican senate
stands in the way of any effective work,
but the chances are in favor of the Dem
Ocrats wiping out the majority of the
Republicans after next March. The
senate now consists Of SO Democrats, AZ
Republicans and , Independents. The
latter usually divide on political qneS-
tiOns so that the real Republican major
ity is S. There are II Democrats and
IS Republicans whose terms expire with
this congress. There is no doubt of the
return of all the Democrats, although
the Republicans sometimes like to
speak of Indiana, New Jersey
and West Virginia as doubtful.
They do not question the other eight.
But in the Republican list there are
several likely to be displaced by Demo-
Gratis. New York and Montana are
claimed with confidence. Wisconsin
has elected one Democrat. and there is
fair chance that Senator SAWYER will
be followed by Democrat. Michigan
has Democratic legiSFure now, but it
is hardly more that possibility that the
coming one will have that political COM
plexiOn. 1t may be conceded to the Re-
publcans. Kansas. Nebraska and the
two DakOtaS have retiring Republicans.
While the Democrats are not certain TO
carry either of them, their late diSposi-
tion has been away from the Republi-
cans. Then Minnesota is not quite GER
tain to keep in the old line. Out of
these eight or nine states the Republi-
cans are likely to lose at least four.
This will wipe out their majority, if it
does not quite put the Democrats in
control. 1t may be fairly presumed that
If Democratic president is elected the
senate will not be an embarrassment to
his administration

AS surprising as it seems in view of
the reputed sentiment among the Demo-
Gratis IN Massachusetts,, the delegates to
the Chicago convention from that state
are divided. If the Washington corre-
spondent of the Atlanta Constitution is
reliable, a decided majority of them
doubt the policy of nominating the ex-
president. That paper is intensely anti
CLEVELAND and may have exaggerated
impressions, but its information is that
while nearly half the delegates are for
Mr.. CLEVELAND, the others are divided
between HILL, RUSSELL and Western

statement, it indicates that the Western
man is getting nearer the front.

Medical Testimony on Death OF
Mrs. Walsh,

CHICAGO, May y4.-The coroner held
an inquest in the Walsh murder today,
aud the jury recommended that
Thomas Walsh, the murderer, be held
to the grand jury. The evidence sub
mitted was that of young woman

the windows of the Walsh house about
4:30 o'clock, and that of Sergeant Ken
nedy who told of finding the body.
Officer O'Donneil testified that Walsh

THE SWISS REFERENDUM.

The Union League of Minneapolis,
the other evening, listened to and dis
cussed a paper by Prof. FOLwEIL on
the Swiss referendum. Its nature and
operation were fully explained by the
professor, and the proposition to make
it a feature OF Minnesota legislation met
with the enthusiastic support of several
gentlemen, pro ninent among whom
were some of the Republican central
committee. Later rumor has it that
the committee seriously contemplate
making the referendum leading feat
ure in their platform and an issue in
the campaign this fall. A resolution
proposing that the measure be recon-
mended to the party for adoption was,
after some discussion, laid OH the table
until the matter could be further con-
sidered. The reasons for the delay
were not stated or printed if stated and
ii is possible that it was due to suSpi-
ciOn that the advocacy of such meas
ure by such party might be parellel-
ing the misft effort to fft round peg in
square hole.
Briefly, the referendum gives to the
people direct instead OF representa-
tive part in the making or unmaking of
their laws. They can veto a law passed
by the legislature, or they can take the
initiative and compel the passage of
law. Its basic principle is that.in
democracy the people should be made
in fact, as well as in theory, self-goy-
erning people; that the popular will on
any measure must be needed. Any
such measure is clearly not at home
in the Republican party. 1t may be
taken up by 1t as diversion when its
other props are giving way, anu some
thing must be done to divert disaster,
but it is too Democratic for party
whose vital principle is paternalism.
