The center of political intelligence has
shifted during the past forty eight hours
from Washington to Minneapolis, and will
remain there till the work of the con-
ventiOn is finished next week So far the
intelligence sent from the Northwestern
city is of rather mixed nature The re-
ports, which first state one thing and then
another, represent not facts but the indi-
vidual opinion of each politician, and
views, predictions and estimates VIII con-
tinue to be tinged by personal expecta-
tons and desires until the balloting COM
mcnceS.
But while the maneuvers, bargains,
hopes and fears of the politicians who are
working at Minneapolis may remain a
mystery, one thing in the situation shines
out beyond all dispute. That is the popular
demand and desire for Blaine's leadership.
Politicians may scheme for their own ad-
vancement either by supporting or oppos-
ing him, but nothing in politics has
equaied the constant promptness of the
enthusiasm OF the people to break out on
the slightest exhibition of reason to ex-
pect that he would consent to be the can
didate. As the popular approval must be
the ultimate resort anyway, it is beyond
dispute that this quality in Mr.. Blaine is
the most vital.
The nomination of Blaine will inspire an
enthusiasm in the Republican campaign
that cannot be equaled in any other way.
No living man so clearly represents the
broad, safe and yet progressive American
policy which he has outlined as Secretary
of State.

STORIES OF CORRUPTION.

Two topics of current gossip illustrate
the need for better understanding of the
principles of public and private honesty.
One is report concerning squeeze in
the stock of city street line; the other is
an explanation of how Councilman was
fixed to vote for the Exchange Railway
ordinance.
In the first case we have the allegation
not only that s1OO,0 900 of stock was placed
where it would do the most good, but that
as IA sequel the management Of the COM
pany is using the powers of trust po-
sition to squeeze their own stockholders.
In the other we have the report that not
only was Councilman forced to vote
against his conscience, but that the con-
sideration was his release from the liability
of bail bond which no one can honestly
give him and which he could not honestly
receive. In short, the stories represent
both sides to these transactions as occupy
ing about an equal plane of rascality.
If affairs are conducted on this universal
basis of dishonesty it is we'll to know it.
Such reports should be followed either by
criminal prosecutions or libel suits.

WARNER MILLER,s 20 .ITIoN.

The attitude of some of the New York
politicians at present is an instructive
study in politics. Mr. Warner Miller has
been claimed by the Harrison men as sup
porting the Presidents denomination, and
by the anti-Harrison men as supporting
Blaine. These conflicting claims left Mr..
Miller's position clouded by doubt, which
the politicians and the newspapers were
deadly anxious to have cleared away.
Mr. Miller reached st. Louis the other
day and telegraphed to New York the fol-
ing statement, which defines his position:
81 have made no statement regarding the
Presidential matter and will not until l
reach Minneapolis and have an opportu-
nifty to consult with my colleagues"
From which the dullest may infer that
Mr.. Miller does not propose to be left out
side the breastworks this year without
very clear understanding how he is to be
cared for

WHERE PUBLIC POLICY DIS .PPEARs.

The decision of the Court of Chancery
in Tennessee declaring void the will of
President Polk, because it created per-
petuaI trust, contrary to public policy,
calls attention to a decided contrast The
decision sets aside the will and distributes
its gifts among forty-eight heirs, simply
because even an eX-President could not
dispose of his own property in a manner
contrary to the settled public policy of
Democratic State.
Yet it is borne in upon the observing
mind that though oX-Presidents cannot,
there are class who can do things not in
accordance with public policy, and can
keep on doing them after they have been
declared illegal by the courts. Railroad
corporations are becoming familiar with
the experience of having their acts de-
clared contrary to public policy, and keep
ing right on doing them, whether it is a
trans-continental pool or the absorption OF
a parallel and competing line in Pennsyl-
vania. The trusts find it so regular a
thing to dodge decisions of the
courts by a shallow evasion that
one or two States have gone into the regu-
lar business of furnishing charters for that
purpose. lnasmuch as the especial
weakness of the Polk will was its attempt
to create an entaiied estate, it is interest
ing to note that the private policy of the
Astor family is able to override the princi-
pie of public policy which an ex-Presi-
dents will could not do.
There is also instruction in comparing
the two classes whose ability in that re-
spect is so strongly contrasted. President
Polk had held the highest Office in the gift
of the people. Like most Presidents he
left fortune counted by tens or hundreds
of thousands. To suppose that such a
pitiful accumulation OF dross could be dis
posed of without regard to the public well
fare was great mistake. 1t is only when
public policy runs up against accumula-
tioEs of wealth that are counted by tens
and hundreds of millions that it develops
the lightweight tendency and selects the
time for disappearing.
Yet there has been widely spread idea
that this is country where there are no
privileged classes. and in which the high

Mr.. Depew is an officeholder appointed by
President Harrison. He is now receiving

bread and butter to him. His New York
friends are exceedingly tolerant of his rose
colored views, feeling that if they really
resented Mr.. Depew's platitqdes about his
chief it might jeopardize his position.
Warner Miller has discreetly announced
that he will support anybody who is nomi-

FAMILIAR BUT FRlLLED.

| That energetic act of exorcism which
| took place in Bavaria the other day has
occasioned a good deal of talk, even to
ton. 1t is regarded as something foreign
to civilization and medieval. The details
are rather out of harmony with the fin de
steele it is true, but in the general purport
of the proceeding we recognize an old
friend.
There was a ten-year-old boy named
Zilk under the control of the Capuchin
closter in Werndng. The priestly esti-
mate of the boy may have been slightly
DETECTED by the fact that the boy had a
Protestant mother; but the testimony is to
the effect that, as is not unusual with boys
of single decade, he was terror. 1t
was concluded that he had Old Ned in
him; and an able-boded shepherd under
took the task of exercising the evil spirit.
The eXorciSm was in the form of bodily
castigation. He licked the boy and evil
spirit with ali the force of muscular man.
hood. He held conversations with the evil
spirit in which the latter acknowledged
that he had left the boy and would not
come back. But the astute churchman,
recognizing that his antagonist is the
father of lies, refused to accept his word
for it, and thrashed boy and devil while
longer, until the latter impaired the in
formation that he was then in hell, which
ended the operation. The treatment
seems to have been efficacious, for the
exercised boy now attends church like a
pattern.
The details of this operation are little
peculiar at this age; but after all it is a
process which was not unfamiliar to most
of us within the past generation. 1t is by
no means confined to Bavaria 1t is
simply, with few additional frills, the
task which Purtanism has practiced with
zeal-that of licking the devil out of boy.
Candor compels the statement, from
recollection of the process, that while it
might be occasionally misplaced it was
usually efficacious. The Bavarian shep-
herd is undoubtedly correct in the belief
that if the process is continued indus
triousiy enough the evil spirit will event
ually vacate the premises.
