A HARD DECISION.

A liquor case recently finally re-
viewed by the United States supre me
court in its history and conclusion af-
f0rds some Illustration of the spirit with
which those who insist upon regulating
the personal habits of people by law
are actuated. A decade ago Vermont
had some sort OF a prohlbitory law, per-
hapS still has it. One JOHN 0'NEIL, a
wholesale dealer in liquors at White
hail, n. Y, had been for years in the
habit of sending liquors By express to
customers in Vermont with no intention
of violating any laws or attempt at con-
cealment. In the latter part of 1882
complaint was :made and O'NEIL was
tried before justice of the peace for
violation of the Vermont prohibition
law. He was convicted Of 457 infrac-
tiOns of the law in three years, and
fined $50 each, with S472.96 costs, with
confinement and hard labor for one
month, and if the whole bill was not
paid in that time, he was to have fur
ther confinement at hard labor for 2S, $50
days, or about eighty years. On an ap-
peal TO the county court only 307 counts
were sustained, with the fines and i'm
prisonment in proportion. The hard
labor period footed up only 1894 days,
or some fifty-four years. The su-
preme court of the state sus-
tained this decision, and then the
United States supreme court was
finally reached, with the late decision.
This body divided four to three in re-
fusing to disturb the action of the state
court, insisting that as the sale was
completed IN Vermont it was not an in
terstate act. The minority opinion, de-
livered by Justice FIELD, took the op-
posite view, and insisted that, as con-
gress had taken no action in 1882.
citizens had right to take lawful
articles of commerce from one state to
another. 1t was also pronounced yio-
lation of the constitutional provision
prohibiting "cruel or unusual punish
mentS." Justice FIELD says: Had he
been found guilty of burglary or high
way robbery, he would have received
less punishment than for the offense of
which he was convicted. 1t was six
times as great as any court in Vermont
could nave imposed for manslanghter,
forgery or perjury. IL was one which,

IN THE SECOND.
The Democratic Heart of Dayton's
Bluff Is Fired.


If any one doubted that the campaign
is interesting the citizens-the masses
and if he attended the First ward meet
ing in the hall at the corner of East
Seventh and Bradley streets last even
ing, that doubt would have been dis
PEELED. The hall was packed to the
doors, and hundreds were unable to Sc
cure entrance, and it was one of those
old-time affairs showing that the popu-
lace are dead in earnest In rebuking the
malicious attack upon the public credit
and the fair name of the city that is
contained in the Republican platform.
There were several speeches, and they
stood in marked and refreshing con-
trast TO the vile epithetS INDUCED in by
the Republican and Prohibition
zealots that are trying to pilot
Fred Wright into the mayors
chair. Indeed, this is feature of the
canvass. Mayor Smiths advocates are
gentlemanly and argumentatiye, while
Wright's satellites are reveling in filthy
politics, reviling even the honored and
iamented dead. J. c. Michael opened
with a telling speech, and he was
cheered at intervals when his logic
was unanSwerable. He dissected
the Republican platform, charging
the administration with criminalIty
and showed that the sole purpose of the
ASSAULT is to ride the Republican party
into power. Although nine days have
passed since the publication of the plat
form charging raseality, the Republi-
cans and Prohibition alliance has failed
and refused to point to single dishon-
est act Of the administration. Turn out
the gang" is the cry. and by that
they mean turn out the policemen.
Mr.. Michael then pronounced the police
force Of st. Paul the most efficient he
had ever known, ,and from this he passed
on to show that police duty is distinct
profession, the same as that of the doc

GERMANS FOR SMITH.
Without Regard to Party They
Oppose the Hybrid Ticket.

The German citizens of the Eighth
ward, irrespective OF party, met last
night at Weiler's hall. corner OF Uni
versty avenue and Dale street. The
hall was packed to the doors. and the
greatest of enthusiasm characterized
the meeting when its purport became
known. 1t was understood that the
meeting was to discuss the city political
situation. This was sufficient reason to
draw out an immense gathering of the
German people. When john Jesserang
announced that he conld not support
Col. Wright the audience burst into APP
plause, which was renewed when he
proceeded to give his reasons there for,
and asserted that the German people
are determined to support Smith and
BanhoIzer. The other speakers were
Dr. Hinsch, DIR. Schroeder and George
Thill. The speakers touched popular
chord in the audience by asserting that
the Germans. without regard to party,
will support the Democratic ticket. The
meeting was one of the best OF the cam
paign. 1t clearly Indicated that the
German voters have no time for Wright
and his platform. The Eighth will roll
up splendid majority for Mayor Smith.

II the loyal people of st. Paul do not
repndate at the polls the stigma placed
upon their fair and prosperous city by
the platform of the Republican city con-
yentIon. the outside world will conclude
that the vile ISLANDERS contained in the
Republican resolutions are true. St.
Paul is we'll governed city. its credit
is excellent. its taxes are reasonable.
and yet the platform upon which Mr..
Wright is running for mayor says:
With criminal influences and criminal
methods in the ascendant IL is not remark.
able that the public debt of the city and
the public burdens OF its people should
have grown until they constituted not
only a grieyous burden 10 the taxpayer, but
standing menace 10 the cItys credit, as

progress.
We, in common with the people of the
state. will interestedly watch TO see
whether ST. PauFs voters will adopt the

THE REpUBLICAN TICKET.

Ike GLOBE does not find IL in either
it's heart or power to critieise the prl-
vate lives. or question the personal in
tegrity,of anybody whose name appears
on the Republican municipal ticket.
Col WRIGHT is surely courteous and
affable business man Of prepossesslng
appearance, who has had successful
career, and enjoys the respect and
friendship Of those who know him.
Mr.. MCCARDY mas been an 'Officeholder
In this county. and, save for certain
brusqueBess and occasional rudeness OF
manner, filled the requirements Of his
position 10 the general satisfaction. or
Mr.. MILLER the GLOBE and the public
know very little; but there is no reason
TO doubt that he is respectable citizen,
who would do his best In what
ever position he might be placed.
No one of these men presents to the in
quirer any conspicuously Objectionable
characteristics. They all belong TO the
class Of industrious, faithful and fairly
intelligent people who constitute the
strength of a community. Nothing il
to be gained by speaking slightingly or
unkindly OF them, and, if anything were
to be gained, this paper has no ambition
for profit thus acquired. In place as
small as ST. Paul, where it is difficult for
anybody to lead double existence and
where eyerybody's record can be readily
ferreted out by the interested, intem-
perate and scandalous assaults on in
dividuals are quite futile for campaign
ammunition. because the rebutting
truth is readily at hand in case it is
needed. The GLOBE therefore admits
the merit and decency of the Repub-
Iican candidates and is glad that the
tone of the opposition party is high
enough to secure for such the leader
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-04-30

temper of our people. They have en-
deayored to stir up a great dast OF cal
umny and scandal, and in the confusion
to lay hold of the positions from which
they have been so long excluded. This
is at once futile and foolish. Futile be-
cause our citizens have too much sense
and character TO indorse such disrepu-
table methods. Foolish because the ed
ucational value of a campaign is thus
frittered away. If the opposition want
to succeed or to be defeated with credit
to themselves, they should put at their
head man who has been student OF
city government, and VINO abhors the
path Of the hypocrite and trimmer.

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW
And the Democratic Vote =
Mayor Smith in the Eighth.

And the Democratic Vote -
Mayor Smith in the Eighth.
The Eighth ward Democrats turned
out en- masse at Bergen's hall last night.
p. G. McHugh acted as chairman and S.
A. Normandin as secretary OF the meet
ing. f. G. Ives was the first speaker.
and said that the Republican party Of
this city had no claim OH the votes Of
the laboring people. In the last council
the Republican members had unani-
monsly opposed the eight-hour ordi-
nance, and If Republican council we're
elected they would undoubtedly re-
peal it. This being an important
measure from labor stand
point, the working people should
see that it is not jeopardiZed.
He also stated that the Democratic
party had recognized the labor Organl
zations OF the city by placing two OF
their members on the ticket for assem-
blymen, McNamee and Ryan, and they
should receive the united support OF all
laboring men, regardless of party lines.
He also commented severely on the
attitude of the Republican candidate
for mayor in attempting to stand on two
platforms at once, and that he believed
the people of this city would vote for a
man not afraid to define his position.
Mayor Smith, being present, was
called for, and received with great en-
thusiasm. He made few remarks, and
refuted the slanderS of the Republican
platform on the city's credit, and stated
that not one dollar had been spent for
public improvements except when de-
manded by the citizens, and duly au-
thorized by law.
r. A. Hare also spoke, and said he
was out for the straight Democratic
ticket, from top to bottom.
j. j. Ryan spoke and said that, if
elected. he would conscientiously guard
the interests of the laboring people;
that they had received recognition from
the Democratic party, and should work
with the party most friendly to them.

pressed desire TO relieve his feelings
