THE CHOLERA

Our cOuntry'S source of danger
against attacks of disease from abroad is
the same as that which exposes it to the
risks of invasion in case of war. IL we
had perfect system of quarantine no
cholera-infected patient could come into
our ports. Assuming that the scientists
are right. the malady diScloses itself
within three days after the germ has
entered the blood. If a passenger ON an
ocean vessel has been exposed before
his embarking, he will surely be pros
trated on the voyage. 1t would be i'm
possible for him to appear in good health
OH his arrival and afterwards deyelop
the complaint, as sometimes happens
with other diseases. Gould every vessel
be carefully examined before it's pas
sengers were allowed to land. we should
be assured of complete safety at this
hour.
The length of our seacoast makes
this impracticable, however. The
scourge will not effect an entrance at
New York, or Boston, OF Baltimore.
The proper precautions can be taken at
such points. But piague-laden ships
know this, and will not head for these
places. Only an expensive and probably
futile scheme of patrOlling the high
seas would arrest them. With cholera
on boa rd, crew would be driven to des-
peration. and would run any blockade
which might be devised in its struggle
to escape from death. We cannot main
tain corps of inspectors at every har-
Dor on the Atlantic. If the disease ey-
tends i'll Europe, as it threatens to. it
will come to America. Should 1t once
gain footing, it will rage in some dis
tricts, where the climate and sanitary
conditions favorit, with great intensity.

LABOUCHERE LEFT. OUT.

The abscene of Henry Labouchere's
name from the Liberal cabinet will
cause more comment than any other
single feature of that publication.
There has never been any doubt of Mr..
Gladstone's desire in this matter. He
thoroughly appreciates the sterling
qualities of the witty editor of Truth,
but has apparently been compelled to
defer to the queen. The latter bates
Labouchere more than any other man
in English public life, and not without
cause. No one has said sharper things
about royalty in general and the ruling
English house in particular than he,
and no one has said those things in
more eXasperating Observation-Disclosures
phia Inquirer.
The omission from the Gladstone
cabinet of Mr.. LabOuchere, editor of
the London Truth, and one of the fore
most radicals, may make 1t interesting
for the government further along.
"Labby'' and the queen are not good
friends-neither have Gladstone and
himself many points of personal or even
political contact. Mr.. Labouchere,
while a man Of considerable ability in
certain directions, is very undesira-
bic colleague. His radicalsm is of the
most pronounced type, but that could
be borne by Liberal ministry if he
were not so bent on saying the bright
est thing in the most offensive manner.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

A lower house of the legislature is to
be elected this fall, as well as national
and state officers.
1t is important that as many of the
representatives as possible should be
Democrats, for a great many other rea-
sons, and because a United States sen-
atOr is to be chosen.
1t Is also important that all the rep
resentatives should be good men ana
wise men. Both parties should see to it
that no others are nominated.
The last legislature was composed of
good men, but not in every case of wise
ones. Its session was singularly free
from corruption. but much of its energy
was wasted over futile and impracti-
cable measures.
Such record infinitely more credit
able, however, than that which some of
its predecessors made. Minnesota has
had legislatures whose. members were
as wise as serpents, and just about as
dangerous.
A senatorial year brings men of this
sort to the front. Only nominal salary
attaches to seat in the house, but they
seek the position with great. diligence,
confident of big profit in the event of
success.
For one thing, they can sell their
votes TO the senatorial aspirants. They
can sell them not only once, but many
times, because the law provides no
means for the enforcement of their cor
rupt bargains.
Again, they can introduce buncombe
bills, ostensibly designed to adversely
affect the interests of corporations.
This has been very common trick III
years gone by. Such bills are never
intended to pass. They are simply i'll
tended to blackmaiI.
If the corporations attacked held off
and refused to be bled, this species of
dishonesty would die a natural death.
But they have not done this. They
have made terms with the blackmailer
and paid for his favor.
Let the man who sells his vote and the
blackmailer be kept out of the next
legislature. Let him voluntarily with
draw from the canvass. There will be
nothing in it for him this time. The
GLOBE warns him that disgrace and the
penitentiary await his arts.
1t he insists on making the race, let
him be defeated at the polls, no matter
to what party he belongs. Let each
voter scrutinize carefully the legis-
lative ticket of his district.
If it CAN be, we want Democrats in
the next house, and Democrats of sound
Judgment. industrious habits and expe-
rience in affairs. But above all, we
want good men of clean lives and I'M
questioned integrity.
Let neither party nominate any others
for any office.

1t has been but FIVE days since the
appeal for speakers fund was issued,
and the amount reached is over $500
an average of over 500 day. This is
a remarkable showing when it is taken
into consideration that the appeal has
not had time to reach but very few of
the nearest cities. If this rate
continues, and there is no doubt
that it will increase. it will
be gratifying showing of the
earnestness of the people in favor of
spreading the Information that will
eventually result in removing the I'M
mense burden of taxation that has been
placed upon the people by the McKin-
ley bill. Remember that every con-
tribution made to this fund will not
only enlighted those who have never
heard the good news before, but will
give you new food for thought as
well. The Democratic party wants
speakers, and every dollar contrib
uted to this fund will be used for this
purpose only, and at the end of the
campaign the GLOBE will make an item
lied statement of the manner in which
the money has been expended, so that
all may know what fruits their contri-
buttons have brought forth. Every
Democrat in the state is asked to con-
tribute his mite, be it ever so little, and
wnen this state is redeemed from the
rule of monopoly and rings next Novem-
Der he will have the proud satisfaction
of knowing that his contribution aided

OUR MILLIONlIRES.

The New York Tribune has COM
piled, with what it alleges to be great
care. list of Americas millionaires,
which it accompanies with brief ae-
counts of the sources of their fortunes.
The Minneapolis journal in a recent
Issue summarizes the result in an inter-
esting article. In the whole Union, if
Its figures are correct, there are 4.047
men worth million or more, and
lightweight of these live in Minnesota.
Forty-four of Minnesota's millionaires
are residents Of Minneapolis, and the
wealth of more than half of them
is said to have been made in city
real estate or pine lands. Duluth
has four, all of whom owe their position
to investments in real estate. Mankato
has two. Rochester one. Red Wing one
and st. Cloud one. st. Paul has twenty
eight, according to the Tribune's Stats
tician. and they represent a great va
riety of industries. Railroading, gov
eminent contracting and mercantile
business each appear to have proved
equally profitable. People who ought
to know, scrutinizing our local list,
would probably question its entire &C
curacy. but, without exception. the men
named are very rich. Whether they
are as rich as stated is probably some
thing which even they themselves would
have some difficulty in determining.
