LARGE PATRONAGE DE-
SERVED.

The North Star Athletic club should
have the hearty support OF all citizens
who desire to see legitimate sport thrive
in the Northwest. Several leading citi-
zens have interested themselves i'll CIV
ing a field day on Decoration day, with
a view to getting the nucleus OF a fund
which will, in the near future. blossom
into a great club house. containing a
fully equipped gymnasium, bowling
alleys. Turkish baths and all such equip
menlS as one finds in the quarters of the
athletic clubs of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia. The field days of New
York are among the events of the sea-
on, and last year the spring events of
the clubs of the metropolis drew out
more than half a million people. st.
Paul, Minneapolis and the surroundin g
towns are not so large as New York,
but they can take sufficient interest in
athletics to give the enterprising gentle
men at the head of the North Star Ath-
letic club the seDd-otf they deserve. The
business men of ST. Paul are appealed
to to lend the enterprise a helping hand,
and when the members of the club
place their tickets on safe purchase
them literally. The mercantile estab-
lishments could not do a wiser thing
than to purchase from ten to thirty
tickets each and send their employees OH
a h%alf-holiday to the Memorial day

THE BURDEN OF TAXATION.

Yesterday, out of the goodness of its
heart, after consulting with the society
for the relief of. the door, this paper de-
cided to see if some plan could not be
devised by which these oppressed
patriots might be assisted. 1t proposed
to 90 quietly to the county treasurer's
Office and pay their taxes for them. An
examination of the public records there
showed that this was not possible, be-
u they had already been paid, eX-
eept in one instance. but the visit vas
not time wasted. The GLOBE now

THE JACKS AND L

The figures of the census tend to as
sure those who have faith that nature
never really slips a cog. although a lit
tie jarring at times causes apprehen-
sion. In the matter of the sexes there
has been occasionally solic;tude lest the
inequality Of the sexes should be so
great in some sections as to demoralize
the social conditions. In the old states
the preponderance of the female sex
has seemed to be increasing, and the
ready mathematicians have pictured
the time when in certain states the
male element would be an Insignificant
part Of the population in num-
bers. The census of 1889 shows
that in all the New England states
except Vermont and New Hampshire
the females we're increasing their nu-
merical excess, and were keeping even
in the two exceptions. In the six states
there were 5000 more females than
males. AS this disparity was being
constantly augmented, it was evident
that in time those states would be-
come a land of spinsters. and woman's
rights must have full sway But the
census people have just made up their
first bulletin relating to this subject,

AN l. DOGMA.

The Minneapolis Methodist clergy
man, Rev. HOLMAN, who is so FESTIVE i'll
the traces of his religious school, has
stirred q wide-spreading controversy by
his attempt to escape the dilemma his
effort to break down some of the old
bars has placed him in with his imme-
date persuasion, by falling back upon
the ancient dogma of conditional i'm
mortality. The question is taken up
by the press and the pulpit, and quite
generally it is treated asa fresh break
in the theological lines. 1t Is as old as
the Christian dispensation, and has al
ways been a part of the faith of at least
one sect, not among the most numerous
and prominent. Its advocates have
been found in nearly all Protest
ant denominations. usually, how
ever, timid i'll expression. Some
of the most forcible arguments
in its support have come from clergy
men of the Church of England. 1t has
been insisted by its supporters that it
was the doctrine of several of the best
known Christian fathers, and that the
common theory of universal existence
to be perpetual was derived from the
s%peculations of Grecian philosophers.
Whatever the fact as to its origin, the
religious schools of nearly all shades
have incorporated the idea of the indie
structibiiity of the soul in their creed,
and its elimination would revolutionize
them. The advocates OF the survival
of the fittest".only in the post-earthly
dispensation are not likely to meet toll
Grafton in the present conditions. Their
positions are argued chiefly from a
Scriptural basis. 1t is affirmed, as
Mr.. HOLMAN asserts. that the Bib
lical language constantly contrasts
life and death as the DISPOSITIONS of the
future life. The worthy and qualified,
the doors of good. are TO have the Sc
quence of their %meritoTious activities i'll
a perpetual existence, while h per-
verse and irreclaimable will at SONS
future time cease to exist. The strong
and worthy run the gauntlet. while the
others fall by the way. The weeds and
stubble are destroyed, while the useful
grain is garnered. With DR.. HOLMAN
it is the merciful avenue for those who
must otherwise be the victims of hope
less and endless misery. Whether he
will be allowed to enjoy this view Of
subsequent conditions in peaceful rela-
lions to his school is not certain.

DEMOCRATS. STAND FIRM.

The GLOBE calls on the DemOcr acyO of
st. Paul to stand firm at this hour.
Every indication points to the election
of the entire Democratic ticket, but
here and there is heard a man express
Ing Indifference as to the outcome. This
is the result of the Republican method
of warfare. The enemy have labored
hard to spread abroad the impression
that the present is a ~non-partisan con
test. To this end they have enlisted
under their banner a renegade Demo-
crat or two and placed them in the fore
most rank. where they could DE seen and
heard of all people. They have pleaded
that without ~diSloyalty to their party
faith our Democratic citizens can vote
for the Republican candidates.
Nothing could be more untrue or
more dangerous. The GLOBE raises its
voice in warning and protest. At any
other year in MiDnesota'S history the
Democracy of st. Paul might nave been
defeated in a municipal election and
the consequences not have been serious.
But in less than two months the
party's national convention will be
held IN Chicago. This state will
send to the gathering a delegation
OF able men pledged and enthusi-
astic for the cause of GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. They will be among the leaders
of the CLEVELAND forces, and working
with them will be the whole Northwest.
They will encounter there strong men
who favor other candidates, and to win
in the conflict they will need the sup
port and reinforcement of every avail
able influence.
The great argument which Is urged
against Mr.. CLEVELAND'S candidacy is
that his friends are most numerous in
Republican strOngholds. The anti
CLEVELAND element is eeaselesSly de-
claring that it is hopeless for the Dem
Ocracy TO eountOn any electoral votes
in the great Northwest, and that the
preferences of this section are not
worthy of consideration. We who live
here do not feel SO. We believe THAI
we are entitled to a hearing because we
believe that we can contribute to. the
triumph Of the Democracy in the COM
ing national campaign. But how can
our delegation persuade the party's
leaders that this is true if they go to
Chicago with the tidings of a recent
Democratic defeat in st. Paul, which is
widely known as a Democratic city?
If the Democrats of Minnesota can not
carry a Democratic city for their local
ticket. with what grace can they prom
Use to carry a Republican state!
Let the Democracy of st. Paul re-
member that a vote against ROBERT A.
SMITH on Tuesday will be a vote
against GROVER CLEVELAND. The

Paul TO stand firm at this hour.

season. The promise of the winter wheat
in this country is much below that at
the April review of a year ago. This
comprises about two-thirds of the wheat
product of the country. The April
report of the national department Of
agriculture of 1891 gave the average
condition of the winter wheatiat 96.9. 1t
Is now put at Sl.2. This is a loss of 15.7
per cent in condition of the plant. That
is the average by states, but 1T is notice
able that the figures are the lowest, as a
rule. in the great wheat-growing states.
For instance. Ohio is IL. Indiana rs,
Illinois 81, Missouri ~. Kansas II,
Virginia 70 and West Virginia
n, while the states that grow
but little wheat help raise the average.
AS the season advances the condition is
more likely to take lower than higher
figures. judging from the averages OF
former years. 1t would be very surpris-
lug should the great totals of last year
be closely approached. There may be
little promise of advance in prices. but
the present outlook for the wheat
grower Oh the new and cheap lands of
the Northwest is cheerful. He may
look very hopefully to fair rewards for
his labor this wear.

The city of st. Paul is again III the

city escapes without damage to her
fair fame as an enterprising progressive
and we'll managed city, it will not be
the fault of those who would like a
change in the administration OF affairs.
1t has generally been understood that
st. Paul was well managed; and that,
while its rate of taxation was somewhat
higher than in some other cities, its fine
streets, fine schools, fine water works
and other improvements fully explained
the reason; but when the Republican
convention met and adopted a series of
resolutions den0uncing the municipal
system 'as surciarged with corruption
and extravaganza. and that the COM
mOneSt precepts of private II public
morality had been set at defiance" the
reader WaS for the moment paralyZed.

debt had been increased over s., 200, 900

Tuesday last it took a column of space
to show that the convention resolutions
were a calumny upon the fair fame of
st. Paul. a large portion of the apparent
increase being caused by the censolida-
ton of the school and water bonds with
the CITY Indebtedness proper.
1t might have gone further aud eX-
| planned that a large part of the actual
increase occurred in the years 1SS6-19S9
when the city was absolutely under Re-
publican control, and further, that most
of the bonded indebtedness of the city
was provided for by the legislature
while a majority of the Ramsey county
delegation was Republican. p
, TO every reader these things are very
plain. and while it is of little interest to
the outside world what the debt of st.

md its firuresafrord a pleasant surprise

and its figures afford a pleasant surprise
for those who had begun to lose conf
dence in the equalizlng process OF nat
ure. By the figures given in the new
census the men are coming to the
front again in all these states.
The fact is "a curious and no
table one, that in each of these six
states the males have increased in the
last decade more than the other sex,
both relatively and actually. The %. OO9
excess has been reduced to rs, 900, which
is not disturbing In a total Of A. 700, 745.
In Vermont there has been All actual
decrease of females by 2,30i. while the
males have added 2,4i0. In some OF
the manufacturing SECTIONS there has
been an influx OF French-Canadians en-
ployed in the industries, presumably
largely men, but that will not give any
explanation of the change in Vermont
1t is a little difficult to find a theory
to explain just how the equaliz-
ing has been effected there. 1t
is not presumed there has beena
hegira of indignant spinsterS IN
quest of men. or that their lack has dis
couraged the women In living. 1t may
be conceded that nature understands
social arithmetic. 1t always takes note
of the fact when things are becom ing
