4 LOOPHOLE FOR THE RE-
NORM ADMINISTRATI

In New York Sunday entertainments
are contrary to the statutes, and, of
course, Gotham would be the last place
III the world to atfrOnt the majesty of
the law. But just as Strangling with
cream is one way OF killing kitten, so
is thrOttllng with excessive plety one
way of multiplying Sabbatarian restrlc-
tionS. Religious entertainments are. of
course, exempted from prescription,
and so Gotham goes in hot and heavy
for religious Sunday. For last Sun
day the following list of religious diver
sions was advertised in the New York
papers:
Sacred Damrosch concert at the Amphi
theater. with sacred selections fIom Tampa
usually played at a sacred circus-and sa-
cred ballet music from ''Boabdii;" sacred
dancing and whistling al the Madison Square
roof garden; sacred Spanish dancing, fenc-
ing and bird warbling at the Casino roof
garden, and sacred wax statuary and the sa-
cred hungarian band at the Eden Musee.
Clearly, this list of devotional eXer-
cises is in keeping with the most rigid
Sa5batariar asceticism, as cOntem-
plated by legislators and aldermen. 1t
is within the letter Of the Sunday law.
no matter what the spirit thereof may
be. There is valuable suggestion here
for st. Paul's reform administration.
Some good people who voted for Mayor
WRIGHT and reform show a disposition
to be dissatisfied at getting only the
former. They really desire the good
cid Puritan Sunday they thought they
were voting for. They must be placated.
and here is a chance to do it. Let the
veil of sanctity be placed over all Sun
day amusements. b Let us have sacred
opera bouffe at the Metropolitan, sacred
melodrama at the Grand, sacred orches-
trail harpingS at the Casino, sacred jigS
and can-cans at the beer halls, and
sacred gin-slinging at the wide-open
saloons. Let piety spread itself If it
spreads wide enough, it will be too thin
at all points to hurt Tor to help; but it
will be there, and that will in measure
prOpitiate the partisanS of reform. Let
hypocrisy save the day for the reform
administration, just as it won the day
| for the reform ticket last spring.

THE JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.

The action of the Republican cOnyen-
tion in reference to the judicial nomI-
nations puts the project of union with
the Democracy for non-partisan SUI
preme bench out of the list of possibil-
tiles. The Republicans believe in a
non-partisan judiciary, provided it is
composed exclusively of members of
their own party. They placed Judge
MITCHELL OH their ticket on Thursday
not because they wanted to, but because
it would have been futile to do other
wise. His reputation and strength be-
fore the people are such that he would
have been elected, even without their
Endorsement.
There are already three Democrats in
the field for these important Offices.
Two of them have been named by the
Peoples party. so-called, and one of
them by the Republicans. WILLIAM
MITCHELL has seen many years of judi
cial service, and is admittedly the acutest
mind in our highest court as at present
constituted. DANIEL BUCK has grown
old laborng for the advancement of the
Democracy. He has led CALAMITY in
many hopeless fights, has lived an hon.
orable life among, his fellows, and enjoys
the affection of his friends and the re-
spect of his opponents. THOMAS CAN
TY, of Minneapolis, is young man but
recently elected to the district bench of
HeDnepin county. Some people spoke
slightingly of him at the time of his
elevation, but he has COMPOUNDED his
critics by the intelligence. impartiality
and courtesy with which he has dis
charged his duties.
1t will do our supreme court no harm
to be little shaken up. No one can
find fault with it ON the score of re-
spectability, honesty or industry. But
the ideal judiciary is non-partisan
Judiciary. ard by non-partisan judi
ciary the GLOBE means one whose men,
bers are selected without regard to con-
.siderations of party, because they are
the fitteSt for the post. This is the sort
of a Judiciary the Democracy should
help the peoc>e of Minnesota to get.

THE TIN PLATE FRAUD,

When, at the behest of N1EDRING-
aire mill owners, Maj. MCKINLEY in
serted tin plate duty in his tariff bill,
the prediction was unanimously volun-
teered by the high protection press that
within two years American mills would
be making tin plate sufficient to supply
the American demand.
The two years are more than up, and
what is the situation today? Is Amer
lean tin plate obtalnable at any price in
sufficient quantities to supply the home
demand? Well. hardly; not by good
many thousand per cent, in fact. The
entire production of American tin plate
since the MCKINLEY hill went into effect
is just a trifle less than One-eighth
of the average monthly imports
since that time. In other words, seven
times as much tin plate is imported into
this country every month as has been
made in this country in all the months
since the passage of the MCKINLEY bill.
Moreover, the monthly importations of
tin plate are greater now than before
MCKINLEY put Oh the tariff tax witch
was to build up an American tin-plate
industry and supplant the foreign ar
ticle.
These figures are not guesswork, but
absolute verify, based ON custom house
reports. On all this vast importation of
tin plate the American consumer pays a
tariff tax of = Is cents pound. The
tax in the aggregate amounts to about
Sl5.OO0,O00 year. Every farmer who
buys tin cup or wash basin helps pay
this tax. And for what! Where is the
benefit? Where is the gigantic Ameri.
can tin-plate industry that was to have
resulted in two years, and has not even
got start in three?

LAWYER FOR GOVERNOR.

Should the Democratic state conven-
ton next week ratify the recommends
ton of Ramsey county and nominate
DANIEL w. LAWYER for governor of
Minnesota, the honor will have sought
the man. not the man the honor. Mr..
LAwLER has not desired to be the De-
mocracy's standard-bearer. He has
been jealous i'll his advocacy of other
leaders who have been suggested for
the post, and has co-operated earnestly
i'll the search and inquiry which have
been making into this ones and that
ones fitness and availability. When his
own name has been brought forward he
has protested. and had his wishes been
respected, the Endorsement which the
county convention of Thursday gave to
his candidacy would not have been
made. The GLOBE and the Ramsey
county Democracy are firmly OF the
opinion that he is the ideal man to lead
the party at this hour. He is young,
aggressive, able and popular. He is
known in every quarter of the state, is
capable of conducting a campaign of
enthusiasm, and if elected is wise and
ChpSi lCliCCu S1lOuSu W ilifth6 liS ttu-
ministration count for the good of the
commonwealth and the advancement of
the party. Those who know him best
believe thus of him, and in this spirit
his claims are urged. The, GLOBE and
the Ramsey county Democracy do
not demand his nomination. MI.
LAwLER does not ask it, aud
will accept it with reluctance if it is
urged upon him. The paramount OBJ
jecJ of cur present endeavor is success.
If Minnesota's Democracy agrees with
his friends and neighbors that with him
at the head the victory can be fifty and
nobly won, well and good. he Will lead
the fight. II Minnesota's Democracy
thinks otherwise, he will be glad to be
spared the responsibility of the contest,
and will labor in the ranks as he has SO
valiantly during the campaigns which
are past. This is a season when the
popular will governs. and all good Dem
ocrats are anxious that it should eX-
press itself because they have conf
dence in its judgment.

ROMANCE AND A LONG RIDE.
The Remarkable Feat ola Young
Japanese Officer.

u
Japanese Officer.
At the end of January last, says the
New York Sun, Mai. Fukshima, an Of
ticer of the japanese army, stationed at
Berlin as military attache of the EN-
bassy there, started from the German
capital on an overland journey to
Shanghai, proposing to accomplish it-a
distance Of $4,000 kilOmetreS-on horse
back. The wonderful ride was to be
completed with only one horse, and the
journey was to be finished within seven
months from the time of starting. The
courageous and enterprising little man
has covered one-third of the distance,
having made an average daily record
of G2 kilometres, and he has reached the
border between Russia and Siberia.
Curiously enough there is woman in
that. it seems that Maj. Fukshima,
being fond of society and its gay dis
fractions, drifted into the whirl of So
cial pleasures at Berlin. Last winter
he was regular attendant at the court
balls and other festivities incidental to
the season. He wa we'll received and
general favorite on account of his
genial manners and amiable personal
Ity. He became acquainted with Frau
leIn Won POQOilSki, niece OF the ceIe-
DRAFTED Prussan general of that name.
She is beautiful blonde and reigning
belle, and the susceptible Japanese Off
Ger fell in love with her ON sight, his
attentions to her being very strong and
marked.
At a merrymaking one night some
German officers caught the Jap in HI
larious condition, and drew wager
from him that he could make the ride
in question, the Japanese wagering his
10000 against the German officers 1900
marks that he would carry out the pro-
gram. When the time of sober retee-
ton came Fukshima realized the all
surdity of his position. But he was
strong. plucky and determined. and so
set out at the appointed time. At ST.
Petersburg the adventurous rider re-
celved rousing reception. The car
bestowed personal attention on him.
Maj. Fukshima hopes to reach To-
bolsk, the capital of Siberia, within
thirty days; thence he proceeds to
TomSk and thence to Irkutsk. It is
HOW thought that he will win his wager.

Gov. Wiuans Will Call an Extra
Session.
LANSING. Mich, July 23.-Gov. Win
ans has definitely determined to
call special session of the legis-
lature to redistrict the state
into senatorial and representative
districts, owing to the supreme court
decision declaring the acts of 1885 and
1891 invalid. Tile exact date has not
been determined, though Aug. will
probably be the day. The call
will not be issued earlier than
Monday. The governor finds that
the population of the state
has so increased during the last ten
years that the redistricting act of 1881,
if again made operative. would present
much greater inequalities than any
discovered under the acts of 1855 and 1891.
The question of c,lling special cleo
ton in districts made vacant by resign
alton is a somewhat puzzling one. 1t
does not seem to be the proper thing
to call these elections under the redis-
tricting act Of 1885, which the supreme
court pronounced unconstitutional, or
to call them under the act of 1881, which
will give to some counties two senators,
while at least one will be left without
any at all,
