Day by day the impression that Jug
gler BLAINE is at his old tricks
strengthens its hold on the country. If
the silence of the great secretary be
still unbroken when the gaveI of the
chairman calls the convention to
order, what is now a welI-found-
ed impression will become absolute
conviction, and the convention will
know that even while ne wrote sect
thee behind lie, Satan," the Maine
mans thoughts we're framing the famil
lar sentence, Bark S is willing" In
BLAINE'S present silence, however,
there is no occasion for finding any
thing mysterious. 1t is, on the con-
trary, logical and natural faetorin an
episode which is eminently character
istic Of his entire career. a coll
summate skill at double-dealing is
the chief ingredient Of his I'M
questioned brilliancy, and be is now
engineering the final triumph of that
skill. His withdrawal from President
HARRISON cabinet would have created
dissension in the Republican party and
initiated against the success of the Re-
publican presidential nominee. As Mr..
BLAINE himself designed to be that
nominee, it was no part of his plan to
draw open conclusions with the admin
istratIon, and he, therefore. in his letter
to GARRISON, entered a mild disclaimer
of presidential aspirations. That paved
the way for his retention III the cabinet
and for his nomination at Minneapolis,
despite his ostensibIe loyalty to his
chief, the president. CLARKSoN was
and is necessarily all accessory to these
aStute proceedings, and uhdoub teddy
knew, before he received that letter of
withdrawal. just what part III the gen.
eral plan it was intended to perform.
And after that one letter, dated suffi-
GENTLY early to allow the plot time to
thieken. BLAINE was to be silent and
CLARKSoN was to do the rest. The
rest" has been as skillfully executed
as the plan was brilliantly conceived,
and the party is now ripe for the nomi-
nation of BLAINE. There is only one
possibility of failure-the daplicity and
treaehery of the scheme may, as it be-
comes generally understood. arouse an
honest Indignation in the rank and file
of the Republican party, and secure
sufficient sympathy for President HAIR
RIsON to insure his nomination. In that
case BLAINE will write another, and
this time sincere letter of withdrawal;
otherwise he will be nominated at Min
DeaDOIis next week

STILL SHOUTING THE SLOGAN.

However the diSgruntled assembly
men-eleet feel disposed, the Pioneer
Press at least has not so soon forgotten
formers" 1t still holds by the propo-
sition that st. Paul is the dooryard Of
perdition, and that the recently vietori-
Gus ticket includes about all that is
truly good and incorruptibfe in the city.
Witness its flamboyant assertion yes
terday morning that''a chief of police
requires special qualifications of high
order. 1t is often difficult to find
such man among the residents of the
city," That is an easy way of putting
it, and for this much consideration
the city should be thankful. OF course
the Pioneer Press cdh.d go on rubbing
1t in, but it really isn't necessary, now
that election is over. Besides, the con-
vention visitors are about to arrive, and
we would like to disguise our municipal
depravity temporarily if the Pioneer
Press and its associate pharisees don't
mind. 1t would be policy, you know, to
make ourselves seem a little less sim
soaked than we know we really are. We
owned up and made some slight amends
by voting these self-aSserted exceptions
TO the general depravity into office, and
therefore we feel almost entitled to let
up now. 1t may be true. as our contem-
p0rary says, that it would be difficult to
find a man in st. Paul worthy to be chief
OF police, but it isn't necessary to lay
especial stress on the painful fact. just
go on to Saltwater or Patagonia and get
your man, and say nothing.

ABSURD AND HURTFUL.

The ChieagO-St. Paul railroads are
making more than the customary ac-
cusations OF treachery against each
other in the matter of convention rates
between the two cities. Each stoutly
maintains its own sublime innocence of
cutting under the authorized rate, but
each is mourntully convinced that other
roads are INDUCING in most nefariouS
and unbrOtherly rate manipulationS. In
fact, the cOmmotion and emotion is so
pronounced as to almost put handicap
on the longevity of that mutual diStrust
society known as the Western Passenger
association; but in all this the public
has 10 concern beyond its inclination TO
profit by it to the fullest extent OF the
lowest obtainable rate.
There is, however. one feature of
travel between Chicago and the Twin
Cities concerning which it is time
for the public to take hand and
express itself in emphatic terms. 1t is
time to consider the time made between
the two points and insist ON its lessen
Ing. What will the Eastern delegates
to the Minneapolis convention think of
Western enterprise, Of Western hustle"
and speed, when they are confronted
with the fact that they must drag out
thirteen and one-haIt weary hours on
any road between Chicago and the Twin
Cities? What will they think when
they are confronted with the surprising
information that even the much-ma-
Iigned Baltimore & Ohio makes SO per
cent better time in its long pull east
and west over the Alleghenies than any
Chicago-St. Paul road makes between
those two cities? 1t is a faet-a most
eXasperating but incontroyertibIe fact.
The distance from st. Paul to Chicago
by the shortest route is 402 miles, and
the quickest schedule time is 49, hours,
an average of 29.6 miles an hour. The
run ought easily to be made in ten
hours, and it would be but for the fact
that the longest, and not the shortest,
of the five Chicago-St. Paul roads sets
the pace for the rest. By threats of
rate cutting the long lines have forced
the short lines into an agreement not to
make faster time than can easily De
made by the most roundabout road in
the lot; and, as there is no way of Sc
cretly violating this agreement it alone,
of all railway compaets, is sedulously
lived up to. Its absurd and hurtful,
and against all theories of progress and
the survival of the fittest. Let the
weak lines look to their own interests
as best they may, and let us have on the
short lines between Chicago and the
Twin Cities the forty miles an hour
which their splendid roadbed and per-
feet equipment easily qualify them to
make.

A RATIONAL VIEW.

Minneapolis Journal.
The GLOBE has taken a rational and
business-like view of the Republican ma
tianaI convention, i'll strong contrast
with the childish course OF the Pioneer
Press, which has been tearing its hair
with rage ever since it was determined
that the convention should be held in
Minneapolis. The GLOBE says:
Ever since the Republican national COM
mittee decided to hold the convention in the
Mill City there have been those who seemed
to have no other occupation than to bewal
the fact that the convention would be q fail
ure. While shedding crocodile tears, they
asserted positively that the great crowds Of
visitors who would attend could not be ar
commodatcd, and that the result of it a II
would be the disgrace of the whole n ORTIZ
west.
All who knew of the push and tireless
energy of the people of both Minneapolis
and st. Paul were convinced from the start
that as far as the work of the local commit
tees could go to make it SUCH the coming
convention would be a grand success And
such it will be. 1t does not take visitor to
Minneapolis these DAYS ten minutes to make
up his mind that nothing will be left undone
to accommodate all who may come, and give
them the best accommodations It great crowd
ever received in large city during the hold
ing of a national convention of great
political party. The spirit OF enthusiasm,
pride over the selection of their city, and de-
termination to make the Twin Cities famous
as convention place is III the air, and the
most casual and unobserving visitor cannot
but feel it and be affected by it.
And the GLOBE goes ON to show the
good feeling and sound business sense
prevalent among the st. Paul hotel men,
who have not, by any means, washed
their hands of the whole business" but
like sensible fellows seek to get their
share of the incoming business. The
Pioneer Press has been sharply rebuked
by its own town for Its baby perform
anees ever since Minneapolis got the
convention. 'ehat paper has apparently
been determined to defeat every pro-
gressive movement of st. Paul people.

THE RAINsFoRD SYSTEM.

Some of those who are attacking Rev.
Or. RAINsFoRD for his advocacy of the
elevation of the saloons to at least the
easements of the Sanetuaries, remember
that he is an Englishman, and not up to
American standards in the bibulOuS
economy. 1t is probable that his views
have been shaped somewhat by observa-
ton of the experiments in England on
somewhat similar lines. 1t is claimed
that they have greatly reduced inebriety.
Tt is alleged that they afford a constraint
that insures moderation, and that the
encouragement given to the substitu-
ton of drinks with the smallest
possible per cent of alcohol has
greatly changed the habits. The
purity of the articles, too, has promoted
good physical effects. 1t is not under
stood just how far the claims made are
warranted, but it is not noted that there
are denials of beneficial effects. That
the reverend doctor IS producing some
effects by his arguments is indicated in
the case of Rev. DR.. PARKHURST, the
New York clergyman who took in the
'faney houses" in their nude depravity
in order to point his moral in the re
formatory work. He has been accepted
quite generally among the social regen-
orators as OF the heroic and martyr type.
He would abase himself to lift up 9th
ers. This gentleman has expressed
himself as regards the RAINSFoRD
scheme, and does not hurl the fiery an
athemas to be expected. He does not
quite accept the proposed relation of the
church TO the saloon, but does not see
occasion for bristIing barrier. He out
lines his view in this:
There should be some place to which the
workingman can go just as the rich man to
his club. But it must be remembered that
drinking at a club is only feature. an Incl
dent, as it were. If we could have something
like the German beer garden 1 should be in
favor of it. 1t could be a kind of social
meeting place. Light wines and pure beer
could be sold. and there could be music and
some forms of entertainment The plan
works well there, and 1 do not see why it
would not here. There should be something
eleyating and attractive about the place.
Drinking should be an accident one of the
Accomplishments, so to speak. 1 do not

THE SYRACUSE CONVENTION.

The gathering at Syracuse yesterday
is entitled to the most respectful con-
sideration because o. the character of
the men who participated in it and the
magnitude of the constituency they rep
resented. There is room for serious
question as to whether their election of
a eontesting delegation to the Chicago
convention was altogether wise, or
whether as much would not have been
accomplished had they done nothing
more than register their protest against
the action of February p in some dig
nified and impressive manner. That
would have been sufficient TO have
proved the existence of an aggressive
CLEVELAND sentiment in the state with
out still further widening the breach
which already demoraliZes the ranks OF
New York's Democracy. Unless allin-
dicatiOnS point falsely. Mr.. CLEVELAND
will not need the vote of his OWE state
TO secure him the nomination on the
first ballot. The most careful canvass
seems to settle conelusively that more
than tWo-thirds of the delegates will be
his partiSanS without the assistance of
any part of its SeVenty-two. The. dis
senting minority would probably sub
NIT with better grace to this outcome il
it were allowed all opportunity to be
heard on the floor in advocacy Of its
views. As it is. the delicate task will
be thrown on the committee on creden-
tails of deciding between the conflicting
claims of two apparently regu
larry constituted sets of delegates.
The preference of either is sure
to result in much i'll feeling, which will
not be healed until time OF the utmost
value for the purposes OF campaigning
b as been uSelessly consumed. The able
gentlemen who controlled the meeting
OF yesterday, however, probably thor
oughIy reflected Oh these matters, and
their decision has been adverse to the
ideas which the GLOBE thus expresses.
When they appear before the Chicago
convention they will be heard with
sympathy aud fairness, and, even if
they are not given seats among the del
egates and afforded an opportunity to
further the cause of the leader to whom
they are so devoted, they will count as
effective forces in the deliberations and
conclusions which are arrived at. The
Syracuse convention may uos secure
the nomination of Mr. CLEVELAND, but
it adds one more to the many cOnSidera-
lions which have completely eliminated
Mr.. HII.E. from the list of presidential
possibilities.

STATE PRESS TIPS.

The Litch6eld Review misapprehends If it
intends to impute stiffness in this favorite
ambition: ''Phe GLOBE is still booming Will
lam R. Merriam for vice president" J
This is the impression of the Kittson En-.
terprise: sit now looks as though DonneIly
was going to get it in the neck and that the
Alliance and Peoples party will combine
and support 5. NJ. owen for governor. g
The Mankato Free Press allows its preju-
dices vent in this: speaking of Ig Donnelly,
the Caledonia Argus says that fiction is his
proper field. We had supposed that this was
the field he already occupied. judging from
his speeches. which are largely fiction"
The Pine Knot has no faith in Graves: ''St.
Louis county viii back Col. C. FL. Graves for
congress from this district. st. Louis county
has done very foolish thing. we are afraid,
in selecting Mr.. Graves, for outside of his
own county he has very little strength"
The Traverse Times has near but super
fetal view in this: 'Knute Nelson appears
to have distanced all competitors in the
gubern atorial race thus far. Nelson is a
winner as candidate in the convention.
and can carry the state in the election by an
old-time majority"
saltwater Gazette: The attempted trip
Yesterday of the little steamer George Hayes
from St Paul to Minneapolis, to prove that
the latter city was the head of navigation,
was damp and dismal failure. Although
the boat was christened Minneapolis for the
occasion, it didn't prove a winner. After
lodging the shoals and ROCKS for several
miles it finally went on to a sandbar and hung
there.
The Sleepy Eye HeralG wakes up long
enough to observe that people are looking
around these times for men who are popular.
James G.. Blaine is undoubtedly the most
popular man IN America today. DR.. Charles
A. Briggs, of Presbyterian fame, is another
man the newspapers are guilty of making
famous, and we would suggest that these
two men be the Republican nominees for
president and vice president"

HUM8UG REFORM.

The Republicans in the MaSsachu-
sets legislature usually attempt some
tinkering of the laws regulating the
liquor business in order to tell the TEN
perance people that they have tried to
do something in their line The pres
ent scheme is the old abSur(iity of re-
quiring the sellers to provide seats and
food for their customers. This could
not possibly he ether than farce. The
horse may be taken to the trough, but
it has not been discovered how 10 make
him drink. No effort is usually needed
to induce men to drink, but they will
do as they please about sitting or eating
at the time. Patent c0ntrivances to
dictate to people as to their social habits
have never proved effective. In this
Massachusetts case the governor will, no
doubt, use the veto if the bill reaches
him.
