MORRISON FOR THE CABINET.

1t is good to know that a determined
effort is being made to place Col. VIM.
r. Morrison in the cabinet. This Is
right. Illinois, by reason of her glorious
record this year, is entitled to special
recognition from the incoming admins
t%ration; but, aside from this, there are
many convincing reasons for giving to
Morrison a high place among the presi-
dents advisers. For many years he has
been aconspicuousl leader in the ranks of
tariff reform, and now that the victory
has been won and the tariff is to be
reformed. it is entirely proper that Col.
Morrison should assist in the work. His
long experience in national legislation,
his accurate knowledge of national af-
fairs and his tried ability in the leader
ship Of democratic forces in the house
would seem to unite in satisfying the Sc
we're requirements of a cabinet officer.
Besides, Morrison has always been a
strong friend of western interests.
Having contributed SO much to a
sweeping political change this year, the
west may properly look for more favors
from Washington than heretofore. and
| with the great Illinois leader as cham
| pion there would be an assurance of
well-earned returns from a democratic
congress and "A democratic president.
An excellent argument presented by
Chauncey +. Black and other prominent
| democrats is that with Col. Morrison as
secretary Of the treasury tho way would
be opened for a broad and comprehen-
sive tariff reform bill to be presented to
the Fifty-third congress. This would
avoid any possible necessity of an extra
session. The treasury department IS
more closely connected with the tariff
than any other department. The ser
vices of the experts in that branch
could be utilized, and under the coon
GRAFTON OF the leading tariff reformers
with the president, it is believed that O
satisfactory measure could be prepared
This would give needed relief to the
country at an early date.

before they started at Columbia gardens,

THE WEATHER.
THE CONTEST BEGUN.

Mr.. Thomas Henry Carter, Young
Man-Out of-a-Job, having failed in his
contest to dispossess the democratic
party at the great assize of the people,
on the eighth of November, has under
taken the smaller task OF capturing for
Himself, with a big H, and for his party,
with a little p, the seat now held under
fraudulent title by Wilbur F. Sanders.
It is to the credit of Young-Man-Out-
of-a-Job, or rather to his nerve, that he
was the only member of his party will
ing to undertake this desperate game.
The Hon. Lee Mantle, chairman OF the
republican state COMMITTEES, and other
gentlemen, refused to have anything to
do with the business. Even Sanders
and Power, who are usually willing to
pull any string that may have anything
at the other end of it, slid off down to
Washington. Everybody else in the
camp was too busy getting ready for a
very cold republican winter when Car
ter turned up. The Harrison ice wagon
and its chief occupant were buried out
Of sight, but Driver Carter had crawled
from under the avalanche ready to
tackle another hazardous enterprise.
The g. O. p. in Montana had one right at
hand for him. 1t had lost the legisla-
ture and some elimination had to be
done to deprive the democrats Of their
majority, and done quickly. How provi-
Dental that Carter turned up, out of a
Job! The man Of all others to jump at
another forlorn hope. The Doodle fund
was raised in a day and the work of
elimination was started yesterday.
Where it will end, nobody knows. OF
course Carter does not care a rupee
about seating Leech alone. Even
with Leech in, he would still
be short of a majority on joint
ballot. But if the mandamus
sticks IN Leech's case the game will be
played holder, harder and faster. SINH
lar raids will be made on the seats of
members in Mlssoula, Meagher, Silver
Bow and other counties, until the re-
publican majority on joint ballot is as
sured. We said republican majority,
but it would be more correct TO say the
Carter majority, for that is what it will
be if OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES gets
away with the game.
But we do not believe he will get away
with it. We do not believe for a mo-
ment that conservative, conscientious
members of the legislature will help
carry out such a desperate proceeding.
We know there are many republicans in
this state who, if they had to vote owe
again on Sanders and Power, would not
approve the methods by which those
men got to Washington. We believe
that patriotic republican members-elect
of the new legislature will put their foot
down hard on the Carter job.
But whatever the outcome may be,
we warn democrats that the present sit
uation is full of peril. Democratic sen-
ators and representatives-elec espe-
cially should be on their guard, and
those who have been defeated by cor
rupt means should bestir themselves
for a determined battle for their rights.
They are dealing with an interruptions
foe who will stop at nothing to accom-
plish his ends. Let them grid them
selves for battle.

OUR Ell ECTION La Ws-II,

Occasionally suggestions are made
that the registration law should be
amended SO as to permit persons who
could not register within the period Of
registration to file affidavits and vote
upon election day. A few states permit
this to be done, but where the registra-
tlon is kept open until the Tuesday pre-
ceding election, as was proposed in u
former article, it is much safer to permit
no one to vote unless his name appears
upon the registry list.
Those portions of the law which re-
quire tho lists of all the names regis
tered to be posted or published within
the precincts and district should be
revised to conform with the pro-
posed amendments. SO that the registry
agents should prepare and publish such
lists within three days after registration
closes, instead of seven as at present.
The notices for receiving objections to
the right to vote against persons regis
tered should be received until six o'clock
p. m. on the Saturday previous to the
day of election.
So far as | am able TO learn there Is
very little trouble in the matter of check
lists and index books as required by
section 10 of the registration law; noI
have any serious objections been urged
to its facility OF operation upon election
day. The main difficulties have been il
distances to he travelled and the hard
ship of closing the registry books 30 fal
in advance of election.

ment which should not be overlooked

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Perhaps nothing constructed by the play
right ever achieved the success OF Uncle
Toms Cabin. The new generation want to
see it, because it is new to them. The
mothers and fathers desire to see it, as it
renews their youth, taking them back to
their childhood days, when the drama was
not as plentiful as it is now. and most any
thing went. But Uncle lom. with two
Eva's, two Marks, two Topsies. and a car
load of dogs, donkeys, with the balance of
the menagerie, must be a corker.

Hon. Whitelaw Reid was officially informed
of his nomination for the vice presidency.
The formal speeches had been delivered and
Mr.. Reid was showing his visitors about the
farm. He directed their attentionto improve
ments which he had made and others which
were under way, and then, pointing to an UNI
finished flower garden remarked: 81 was out
there when the Cyclone from Minneapolis
struck me. Ihad expected to end my days as

in the evening about 10 O'Clock, Chicago
time, or IL O'Clock New York time. The
news of his nomination could not have
reached him before II, and probably not be-
fore 1:30. The question arises, What was
he doing in the garden at that time OF night?
Few farmers work by moonlight. Cincin-
natus was not caught blowing in the night
time. Can it be possible that the ex-miuis-
ter to France went into the garden for the
purpose Of being there "when the cyclone
struck" him9 OF course not, for that would
be evidence that he was expecting it, and
he has assured us many times that it was
totally unexpected. Probably it is because
he is such a new and inexperienced farmer
that he weeds his garden in the night time.

RAINsFORD's REFORM.

The Rev. DR.. w. s. Rainsford of st.
Georges Episcopal Church, New York,
puts forth plan for fighting the drink
evil which is novel, though not without
precedent, practically the same thing
having been tried by number of Eng
lish clergymen. The Church, he says,
must go into active business competition
with the saloon; that is, 1t must open
saloons of its own which shall provide
the light drinks which satisfy all but
drunkards.
Nowadays" he says, "the man who
wants glass of beer must go to low
resort where fiery liquids are the chief
stock-in- trade, and the temptation is al
ways from lighter to stronger. / would
open saloons where beer and light wines
may be had by those who want them,
and where the surroundings will be
clean, cheerful and moral. There may
be billiard tables and bowling alleys and
tables where people may sit and chat
while they drink their beer. There may
also be supply of newspapers and
periodicals.. Such saloon as this would
offer attractions which would enable it
to complete effectively with vicious re-
sorts.
II would have no whiskey or power
full intoxicants of any sort. but besides
beer and light wines would have coffee
and chocolate. The tendency of the
place would be temperate, while at the
same time those who insisted on light
stimulants would not he driven TO low
resorts"
DIR. Rainsford's model is very evil
IDENTIFY the German resorts of the best
class, and il is only common sense TO
admit that in Germany the German
plan works well. In different climate,
dealing with a different people and
under different social conditions, il
would not be common sense to predict
that the results would be the same. DIR.
Rainsford's plan is not quoted therefore
to approve it, but as an example of the
widely differing conclusions that may
he reached after prayerful thought by
equally intelligent and conscientious
men.
DIR. Rainsford takes issue in plain
English with the Prohibitionists he
says: If could close every saloon in
this city to-day by raising my finger.
would not lift il. Closing saloons will
not stop drinking. Ii will simply drive
il to cover in, tenement houses where it
would do vastly more harm. You must
attack the evil in another way" DIR.
