AN UN-AMERICAN IDEA

The action of the Commercial clubs
directors in "deprecating" the publica-
ton of piece of news in the columns
of the GLOBE Is rather an extraordinary
episode. The GLOBE said that MIR. Cor
CoRAN and Mr.. MAY were being named
for seats in the city's assembly, land this is
fact. and one which there was no good
reason for suppressing. 1t was not to
their discredit, nor to the discredit of
any business or social organization with
which they are closely or remotely con-
nected. If it were, this paper, which
has none of the spirit of the scandeI
monger, would have carefully consigned
the item to the waSte-paper basket. But
being one more proof of the esteem and
favor in which those gentlemen are
held, it gave it such currency as was in
its power.
Of course the GLOBE does not care
tinker's hurrah whether the directors
of the Commercial club "deprecate"
anything which it has done or not. But
it is always grieved at evidences of
false thinking or bad logic III promi-
nent members Of this community.
Therefore it emphatically objects to the
expression dragging into politics."
as though politics and mud were
synonymous. This is an entirely en-
roneOus view to take of affairs, born of
dangerous sort of can't which prevails in
certain newspapers and certain circles
of society. If politics is degradin
pursuit, it is SO through the fault of the
men who regard it in this light, and it
is their duty not to pass resolutions
about it, but to take off their coats and
go to work for its elevation. 1t is espe-
cially to be regretted that representa-
tive body of our best citizens should.
probably unwittingly, give their appro-
val to a tendency of thought which
threatens serious evils to the integrity
of our institutions.
1t is also too bad that the Commercial
clubs creed will not permit any of its
members to hold public office. There
are thousands of men i'll st. Paul capa-
BILE of running the city government
with the completest skill, but the great
public frequently does not know about
them. But they show their caliber
sometimes by prominence in church,
sometimes by their speeches at the
chamber OF commerce, sometimes by
their careful management of a quasi
public enterprise, like club, or some
thing of that sort. All such concerns
serve no higher purpose than to bring
good material to the front in this fash
ion. If the ''deprecation" of this new
society's directors is sincere, it means
that there is no hope of this great public

INVESTIGATION WANTED

The New York legislature has been
petitioned to institute inquiry into the
operation of the bi-chloride of gold cure

based on the superstition that the deaths

And so Mr.. Hatch proposes to tax all
contracts made to deliver wheat before
the wheat is in the hands of the con-
tractor. In other words, Mr. Hatch de-
MES the right of a farmer whose wheat
is just coming up to contract to deliver
the grain after it is threshed out. The
farmer does not own the wheat before
it is grown, and he is merely contract
ing on the strength of his expectations.
If such contracts are to be taxed, let the
contracts made by the moral milling COM

wheat you don't own, it must be made
equally unlawful to contract to deliver

Mr.. Hatch contracted to deliver money

The Trouble in 1900.

New York World.
Gov. Mckinley says of his party: ave
lost in 1890 by listening to the campaign
prophet"
Speaker Reed, good deal ADLER and a
far more candid man than Mr.. McKin-
ley, explained the defeat by saying:
1.-The shopping women did it."
The shopping women did not get their
prices from the campaign prophet, but
from the shopkeepers. They knew that
the higher tariff made prices higher, be-
cause they were charged more for tariff
taxed goods.
This was the object of the law as de-
fined and defended by Mr.. Mckinley
on the stump. He said that he de
spised cheapness," and that "a cheap
coat means cheap man, If the
Mckinley tariff was not designed to
compel importers and to enable home
manufactures to charge higher prices,
then it had no rational purpose. If it
did not do this it failed to protect"
If any prices have fallen since, some
body is selling at loss, or the prices
would be still lower but for the tax.
Mckinley will not be permitted to run
away from either the logic or the effects
of his worse than war tariff"

goods being furthercd through its
agency. Presumably, if any one already
holds an Office he is not on this account
ineligible to the Commercial club;
but not having held an Office before his
joining the club, he is not TO be allowed
to do so thereafter. This is a distinctly
un-American doctrine. The right, as
we'll as the ambition, to hold public
office is born in every rightly consti-
tuted American citizen. No other posi-
ton Is in harmony with the genius of
our government. The GLOBE is sorry
to see the Commercial club guilty of
such lack of patriotism.

THE ST. LOUIS CIRCUS.

The octopus of paternalism must have
chuckled Itself purple in the face as it
read the st. Louis platform.-Phila-
delphia Record.
The platform of the labor conference,
upon which the candidate of the third
party may be expected to stand, is in
truth very comic dOcument.-New
York Times.
The third party platform is evidently
OF opinion that government Of the peO-
pie by the people isn't half as fine a
thing as government of the people en-
tirely by the Philadelphia
Record.
Out of the nondescript gathering at St.
Louis called the national industrial con-
ference new party has been born. Fair
science smiled not on its humble birth
and melancholy marked it for its own.-
Chicago Press.
The st. Louis convention has ended
in meaningless plethora Of words. 1t
has proposed no remedial measure, it
has not even diagnosed any form Of So
cial or political disease. 1t has come to
useless end.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
Some of the evils of which the st.
Louis platform makers complain exist,
and should be removed, but sandwiched
grievances which it is proposed to rem
edy by methods as Utopian as were ever
conceived by the brain of man, the read
ing of the platform will contribute
chiefly to the gaiety Of nations.-Phila-
delphia Times.
The heterogeneous assemblage at st.
Louis,> which has gradually kneaded
itself INTO sort of amalgamased labor
party, can scarcely expect the country
to take it seriously. The proceedings
have been of that boisterous and frolic-
some character which rather suggest a
picnic than grave effort to revolutions
ize politics. -Baltimore American.
The platform finally adopted by the
motley crowd at st. Louis is an old
fashioned greenback initiation affair in
substance, with more or less modifica-
ton in form. The declarations and de-
mands regarding silver, income tax,
economy. government ownership of rail
roads, telegraphs and telephones, the
ownership of land. and postal savings
banks are thrown in to please and catch
the votes of minor divisions of the
grand army of yiSionaries.- Chicago

Year. Party. Where Held

This year the two national conventions
will be held, the Democratic at Chicago, the
Republican at Minneapolis. Mr.. jackson
will please notice that for the first time. 1876
national convention crossed the Mississippi
river and settled at st. Louis. Undoubtedly
Mr.. Tilden was fairly elected. but the Repub-
licans raised such hullabaloo about it and
threatened bloodshed, that the successful
candidate considered the game was hardly
worth the candle and allowed X. B. Hayes to
act in his place, draw his pay and take the
curses. For the second time, in 1888, ma
tionai convention came across the Missis-
sippi, and the candidate then nominated was
defeated. For the third time national con-
yention will cross the fateful Rubicon. and
by the laws OF prestige it will not find &C.
casion to shout 'Veni, Vidi Vici' on the
morning following the day of election.
This is tickle world. In New York the
midwinter convention agitation has been
quickly superseded by dog show.
Away down in Maine they are taking of an
ice famine. We are now prepared to hear of
salt famine in the Atlantic ocean.
The people of Fort Dodge, To-, appear to
be an element foreign to the average culture
and refinement of the rest of the United
States. One of Bill Nye's best efforts in the
lecture field was recently roundly Missed in
that town, and the genial lecturer threatened
with personal violence. They never heard
anything like it before. and if Mr.. Nye can
have his way they never will again. Long
continued study of prize hogs at county fairs
and fat women in side shows has vitiated
the taste Of the Fort Dodge jays. A mon
strosity in the shape of a three-weeks-old
babe covered with hair would awaken the
risibilities of Fort Dodge citizens until their
coarse hee-haws would drown the sobbings
of the afflicted mother. Bill Nye is too
tame. His wit is not hot enough to please
the Emphatic temperament and sluggish
minds of Fort Dodge denzens. Nothing
short of plenty of sawdust and a spotted
clown can catch on IN that neck of the
woods. Fort Dodge has attracted attention
to itself in manner which, doubtless. is
rather embarrassing to the educated, intelli-
gent portion of the population. That por-
ton is justly entitled to the sympathy of sixty
odd million of people in the United States.

the physical economy. Still, 1t may be
insisted that the inquiry should be ex-
tended to all who affect to relieve human
ailments and battle disease. There have
been intimationS at times that people
have been known to die in spite of the
regular processes of the medical profess
sion. Whether the percentage not res
cued from disease is or per cent is
not shown by any available statistics.
If the claims made for the dipsomaniac
business are without basis, there
ought to be persons and humane
societies ready to expose their
falsity, even without legislative ac-
ton. There is plausibility In the
statement that those who relapse into
the old ways or are not changed in APP
petite by the treatment are worse than
before. Some instances afford proba
bility that their lives are shortened as
consequence of the attempts at medi-
cation. Inquiry would be useful as to
bottom facts in such cases. IL is con-
coded that in some lung affections the
indications of climate and drugs that

NEW BOOKS.

There is legend that once upon a
time Jupiter Omnipotens, moved by the
complaints of men. granted that each
mortal might lay down his burden and
assume that of his neighbor. The lame
man exchanged his deformed legs for
the defective eyes of the blind man.
The hunchback left his deformity and
took a club foot; and so all mankind
went away rejoicing, but returned soon,
besiegiDg Olympus with tears and pray
ing each for the return Of his Old Attic
ton. A modernized version of the old
legend forms the plot of E. de Lancey

pie, become dissatisfied. he with his lot

dabbles in magic,pl the part of Jove,
and the souls of husband and wife
change bodies. The complications
which arise are entertaining. and in the
main we'll written, though one cannot
help but feel that the author, from his
mans standpoint, leans toward the idea
that W0man'S lot is, after all, the east
er of the two. More might be made of
the story, which is very slight, for it has
elements of undeyeloped strength. Its
llghtnesS descends now and then to flip
pancy and hackneyed wittlcisms, but
1t is by no means dull reading.
"Better Days" is the latest addition to
the vast and constantly increasing list
OF books on questions of social and
political economy. The story opens late
in July, 1892. in Chicago. 1t is cleyerly
written and interesting, though lacking
strength in places. The characters of
David Morning and Ellen Thornton are
especially well wrought out, and the
local coloring, whether in Chicago,
Denver or Arizona, is good. The book
is well worth reading.
"An Honest Lawyer" is an Illinois
story, and displays clearness, con-
slstency and purity of style that argue
we'll for the success of the author. The
personality of the hero is very charm
ing creation, and the plot is interesting.
