TEILo and Mr.. REED, for example. is
conclusive evidence that considerations
of the public welfare did not shape pop
Ular action at the polls week ago; and
when any other motives are paramount in
a city election, the consequences are sure
10 be disastrous and quickly realized to
be such. But the Democrats who de-
serted their flag at this vital hour Will
regret it also Tor another reason. De-
feat six weeks before the national con-
ventIon will affect adversely the lnfiu-
enee of MinneSota'S delegation at the
gathering. 1t will not be fatal to the
delegation'S prestige or Importance, be-
cause its intrinsic composition will pre-
vent this result. A substantial victory
in this local contest would have been
distinct help, however; and while the
GLOBE is philosophical, cheerful and
optimistic as usual, it still is of the
opinion that st. Paui's Democracy
could have chosen Il more convenient
season than the present one fer its eX-
eursiOn into the land of adventure and
variety.

OF THE SAME OPINION.

Some of the GLOBES esteemed con-

in this regard was a correct one. and
that such loyal Democrats as supported
the Republican ticket will before long
regret their course. They will regret
it, for one reason, because out of sense

sisted in the triumph of incapable men

THE BUILDING INSPECTOR
SHIP

The supreme court were doubtless an
mated by the kindest and most amiable
of feelings when they ousted Mr.. STAR
KEY from the building inspectorShip
Yesterday morning. They say in their
opinion that they have very carefully
examined and considered all the evil
dence IN the ease: ard FIVE men OF ordl-
nary physique, who. out of a sense or
duty, exposed themselves to the perlls
of such an undertaking, are moral he
roes incapable of acting from unworthy
motives. The GLOBE has trembled for
Mr.. STARKEY ever since the opposing
attorney, To test his architectural cru
dition, asked him when was door not
a door. The correct answer to this con-
undrum, of course. is: when it Is
ajar" But Mr.. STARKEY, confusing it
with the equally familiar inquiry of
our childhood. namely: "Where was
MOSES when the light went out?" re-
piled "In the dark" Here, it goes with
out saying, was fatal mistake on his
part, which indicated youth spent in
convIviality instead of in serious intel
lectual pursuits, and which established
his unfitneSS to endure the lonesome is
.oIation Democratic officeholder will
have to undergo during the incoming
administration. Out of pure pity for
his temperament the court relieved him
of his trying position. In this one III
stance little more of the laws tradi-
tional delay would have been grateful
to one of the litigantS, but as it is there
is a vacancy FOR Democrat to fill. Ac-
cording to the GLOBES Interpretation of
the courts decision, the incumbent or
this valuable post must be practical
steaIntitter, who is at the same time
familiar with the works of RUSKIN and
has taken a course in aesthetics at the
Ecole DIES BeauX Arts. The number of
gentlemen thus qualified IS extremely
limited in the working ranks of the local
Democracy, and 1t may require close
scrutiny to uncover one of the unterrl-
fed who can play the combination act
to perfection. But defeat has not
robbed the party of its ingenuity, and
even a second-rate prophet can predict
that its search for a learned plumber
will prove a successful one.

THE HACKMEN's ORDINANCE


If the mind of a modern legislator
ever conceived of more prepOSterous
measure than the proposed new city
ordinance relating to hackmen, the
GLOBE is not familiar with it, because
it has only superficial acquaintance
with the records of insane asyIums.
Hackmen are undoubtedly mild and
feeble race of citizens, with timid man.
ner, slow to take offenSe, and easily
imposed on. II it were proposed to de-
tail special police officer to protect
each one of them from abuse, nobody
could find fault with The idea. There
would be something practicable aud
effective about it. But the notion of
giving them authority to arrest the
man who tries to ''beat" them, or MAX
ing it a misdemeanOT cogniZable by the
municipal court to owe livery bill, is not
to be thought of for a moment. No hack
man would have the courage to assert th ,
rights which the law was designed to
give him, ard it would become a dead
letter at once. There is not cab driver
in Christend0m who ever oyercharged
a customer or Swore at him or thraShed
him when he resisted attempted extor-
ton; and it is quite out of the question
to imagine such courteous and retiring
gentlemen carrying anybody with whom
they have had difference off to the
lookup that it might be settled. It is
very unwise for the present common
council to waste IFS few remaining
weeks over projects of reform of this
sort, which, in spite Of their commend
ably high moral motives, are incapable
of application in the existing condition
of society. 1t is too bad that our hack
men are downtrodden. but this is al
ways the fate of the holy, the modest
and the weak. 1t will not help them to
give them powers which they would
be too polite to use.
