The GLOBE writes the words between
darkness and dawn, and it is yet too
early to tell whether the days sun will
shine bright to welcome the states
Democracy to st. Paul, or whether they
will meet in the midst of wind and rain.
The GLOBES wish, of course, is that ali
nature may smile as Oh wedding
morn; but the season is yet unsettled,
and too much reliance must not be
placed On its moods, or too much disap-
pointment felt if it proves capricious
and changing. SO also the opinions and
convictions Of men are yet unsettled.
and the wise and discerning will not
mistake shifting and ephemeral senti-
ment for the eternal principles of truth.
Three months have still to pass be-
fore the Chicago convention assemblies,
and the men aud measures which at
this hour appear in the ascendant may
suffer rude reYerSeS in this eyentfui in

Joel HeatwoIe claims that he isn't a

worthy of note, however, that no one

THE BEST ARGUMENT.

Senator PALMER has written 4 letter
to the Chicago Herald, in which he
points out with drectness and force
one of the many Weaknesses of the
BLAND bill. His line of attack is to show
that the so-called free coinage measure
is only scheme for the governments
purchase of the worlds silver output at
an inflated price. And it is not diff
cult, starting with this fact, to prove its
injustice and danger. If it is the GOV
ernment's function to buy the product
of the country's mines, it also ought to
buy the wheat which the farmers of the
West raise. or the cotton which the
Southern planters find on their hands
because there is no market for it.
But arguments of this sort, while con-
vincing enough, have no particular
effectiveness with the opposition for one
reason. The free silver delusion pre-
walls in those sections of the Union
where business is depressed and poverty
is widespread. Probably never since
the War has there been such general
distress in the cotton belt as there is
today, and the outlook IS as gloomy as
is the present suffering. This region
and the deserts OF Western Kansas and
Nebraska, where successive crop fail
ureS have brought despair, are the
strongholds of the Blandites. Their
devotion to silver is not matter of
reason; it is craze born Of hunger and
disappointment. Baffied and worsted,
they have embraced this impossible
scheme in the vain hope of securing
some relief from the evils which Cypress
them.
With the return of prosperity this de-
fusion Wonlu be diSSipated, bnL until
prosperity returns, it and similar eco
nomic eceentricities will have IN my adj
herents. 1t is the duty OF patriots to do
what they can for these mems material
progress, because this will accomplish
wonders, which no other plan of educa,
ton can. But in arguing with them, or
for them, the important thing is to EN-
phasize the folly of cheap money rather
than its dishonesty. An empty stom-
ach does not aSsimilate moral lectures
as we'll as it does some other kinds of
food. The appeal to self-interest is the
one which will attract their attention.
If the poor have nothing to gain by
debased currency, and they can be
made to understand this, they will not
fight for it. Senator PALMER's argu-
ment is intelligent and able, bat it does
not touch on this. the most promising
pointof all.

SENSIRLE NATIRE

The Boston Globe has Il writc-uD of
two remarkable old ladies in that state,
now near seventy years of age, who
were born twins and have been twins
all their lives. They have been married
and raised families, and through all
these years their friends have been I'M
able TO distinguish them apart. Even
their father, their husbands and chill
lren could not tell which was which.
Their weight has always been the same,
and when one fell away the other has
also lost weight. Voice and expression
are still identical, anu the puzzle as to
their identity is as great to their friends
as ever. Hardly another case is re-
called where the resemblance con-
tinued so perfect all through life.
1t has been said that Nature never made
two faces exactly alike, but in this case
the rule seems to be forgotten. One
might suppose that the possible permu-
tations in the facial economy would be
exhausted in the creation OF uncOunted
billions of people, but mathematics has
been unable to count the number. had
Nature been thoughtless enough to use
the same mould frequently, the annoy
ance and confusion that would result
could not be calculated. In the case
cited the sisters often exchanged house
holds without the children discovering
it. A wise child may not know his
father. but such ignorance has not been
alleged in regard to the mother. On the
whole, Nature seems to have arranged
most things with much Judgment.

THEY DO NOT WANT 1T.

Kansas has been, for few years past,
experimenting with woman suffrage in
municipal elections. The women have
not only been given the ballot, but are
eligible to all the Offices in the munich
pality. In several instances they have
been elected mayor. and controlled the
local administration. OF course they
were novices. and not always free from
romantic notions. The data are not,
however, very distinct tor compar
ison with the management of the
neil, but it may be conceded
that with protracted experience they
can operate municipal machines
with success. The experiments had,
however. are not such as to inspire
either the newly enfranchised or the
other elements with much enthuSiaS m;
and the better class OF women are dis
inclined to continue the experiment.
They doubt that the millennium will be
inaugurated by the participation OF their
sex in the turmoil of local politics. A
sample case is furnished at Leaven-
worth, which has been, and. perhaps.
still is, the largest city in the state. The
registration for the pending election
has been made the past week,
and but 1,241 women registered,
in place of 2.74S a year ago.
More than half have abandoned the
thing. This is not, however, the most
significant fact. Of those who now
register four-6fths are coored women, or
whites of the shady classes. Very few
white women of the reputable grades
care to vote again. The registration of
the less sayory elements Is not due to
their greater concern for the welfare of
the community, but to the importuni-
ties of the ward politicians and strikers.
They sent carriages to their abodes. and
used all sorts of devices to induce them
TO register. Probably most of them
were not familiar with the interior of
buggieS and hacks, and were inflated
with the distinction. Their votes are
not likely to be added to the strength of
the better administration. This is the
result many conSiderate people have
looked for. They have not believed
that the masses of the best women
really wanted to take part in these rude
scrambes. The novelty of the thing
might bring them out at first, but they
would soon weary of the Improbable
work, which mustbe distasteful to them.
Woman suffrage in city elections is not
success so far as tested: and, except
i'll school matters, the women are not
likely to care for participation in the
management of public affairs.

THE WORLD is YOUNG YET.

The atmospheric conditions yesterday
may have afforded comfort to those who
hope with Lieut.. TOTTEN that the
planet has entered upon a stage of de-
struction so far as the existence of its
present population is concerned. Fog
and general murkineSS gave their tone
to things part of the time. There are
said to be a great many people in the
East who have the date fixed, or very
nearly SO, for the end of the present
earthly dispensation. They have been
seeing the signs and omens numerouSly
OF late. The electrical displays known
as aurora borealiS have been extern
sive and specially brilliant. Some sci
enlist has caught glimpse of a comet.
The earthquakes have been more nu-
merous in the later periods than ever
before, and other portents have been
throwing out their menaces. The
Scriptural antielpations are being veri-
fed TO the eager minds of these people
who claim to interpret them. The tre-
mendous armies that keep the peace of
Europe, the outbreaks of socialism and
anarchy and general development Of
deviltry, all fit into the theories
adopted. The running to and fro in rapid
ways and general activity of things all
help out. There are thousands of peo-
pie who are not specially erratic in
other lines Of thought who are fully
possessed with the faith that the end of
things is. just at hand. Some believe
with ToTTEN that the preliminary
stages of the general wind-up have been
entered upon, and the cOnsummatiOn is
coming within few months or years.
This is not cheerful view. 1t would,
If generally credited, be worse than
silver bill as pictured by its opponents,
to disturb business conditions, and the
mind is liable TO he diverted from the
wonted relations of life. People are
fortunate When they are forced to meet
death if they can go out like an electric
flash with no lingering interview. The
common impression has been that
the world is to be transformed
III the "twinkIing Of an eye"
as it were. 1t would be better to
have no intimation of the fact. If there
were really to be great catastrophe to
destroy all human beings living. But
these prophets of doom are in error.
Worlds have their periods of growth,
maturity and decadence, like all beings.
Physical science and inquiry indicate
that commissions and transformations
occur at vast epochS. Recent discov-
cries in the East are Interpreted to show
that this planet was thickly populated
tens of thousands of years ago. Its
races were mainly, if not entirely, de-
strOyed by natural forces. These will
be operative again, in time, but the best
impressions are that the world as we
know it is hardly out of its cradle.
