WHY NOT FOR HIM ?

Congressman JOHNSON, of North Da-
kota, was born in Wisconsin of Sean
dinavian parents, and although he
Americanized the spelling of his name,
he is accepted as representative Of
the Mortimer. His career in the new
state is followed with interest and pride
by the friends of his youth in the Bad
ger state. One Of them comes into print
to his defense against the imputations
upon his loyalty because he has the
manhood TO resent the affront cast upon
him, and, through him. upon the dis
tlnctiye element he is identified with,
in the action of the president. 1t is in
sisted that he would be wanting in dig
nifty and self-respect if he did not OPP
pose the selection of HARRISON dele
CATION to Minneapolis. The Wisconsin
party believes that the indignity is cast
upon him on account of his Scandina-
Wan descent. He is not alone III be-
ginning to ''feel that loyalty to the Re-
publican party brings only abuse upon
them" The bulk of the Scandinavian
vote in North Dakota has been cast for
the Republican party, and it may be
that alert politicians have provided for
themselves literally by claiming to rep
resent it. Among the other Republican
elements in that state there has been a
growing feeling that a rebuke and
more retired seat was needed for it.

The vote of the Republicans in the
lower house of the Iowa legislature, in
postponing Indefinitely the license and
option billie taken as the final action of
the legislature on this great local issue.
The prohibitOry law, although there is
hardly pretense that it is not a fail
ure, must stand until the people have
another chance to pronounce upon it.
At each election the past three years a
majority has declared for its repeal, but
has not been quite able to gain both
branches of the legislature. The issue
has been squarely made, and the Demo
Gratis have no occasion to regret the
faulty of their opponents. Only
five Republican votes were needed
III the house, and it is reported
that eight members of that party
wanted to vote for the repeal, but had
not the courage to face the imperious
and dominating prohibition forces. If
they had the courage of their convic-
tionS," the element of prudence came
in. They may have further aspirations.
and there are uone so uncharitable and
unforgiying as those who would reform
people by c0mpulslon.
There are intimations that some Re
puElicans may vote to Fesubmit the law
to popular vote. but that will hardly be
tolerated by the prohibition dietators of
the party. They know that this is as
hostile to the futile system as direct
opposition. The people have in
dictated clearly that they have
lost faith in it, and will vote
it out 1t is but subterfuge
to tide over crisis for the party. There
is no occasion for the Democrats in the
legislature to do more. They have kept
full faith with those who elected them.
They can have no reproach at the fail
ure of their efforts, and can go before
the people in confidence of approval.
In the contest of this year they will con-
tinue to have the popular side, aud the
Republicans will stumble along under
the burden of the ineffective and per-
niciouS enactment. 1t is made impos-
Bibie to keep the question ont of the ma
tional canvass, and it will aid the Dem-
Ocrats to secure the next senator.

ARTHUR p. GoRMAN..

In the series of sketches of possible
presidential candidates the GLOBE this
morning presents the name of ARTHUR
p. GoRMAN, of Maryland. OF the mans
personality the carefully written arti-
Gle leaves but little to be said. His
availability as candidate is altogether
another question. SO far, political sue
cess has crowned his almost every eff
fort. The record of his life from
page in the senate chamber to seat in
the same reads like romance. 1t is un-
paralleled in the political history of the
country. Moreover, it is unmistakable
proof of the political sagacity of the
man; a sagacity which is untainted with
accusation of unfair political methods.
Senator GoRMAN represents what is
considered a Southern state. More
properly it is border state. but near
enough to the Republican ''dead line"
to arouse in partisan Republican minds
that animoSity, as unjust as it is I'M
warranted, which is almost the sole re-
naming ammunition Of partisan Re-
publican warfare. The same senselesS
accusation would be brought against
Senator CARLISLE, of Kentucky. But
this question will never be raised by
the Republican party. The emblem of
the bloody shirt has waved over the
last political campaign in this united
country. Strong men from North.
South, East and West are coming to the
front. Statesmen boldly championing
the live issues of the day are hailing
from Texas. The speaker OF the house
represents Georgia. The ediet has gone
forth that no man shall be ostracised
for sectional reasons. The candidacy
of either GoRMAN Or CARLISLE is pos
sible. Their nomination is equivalent
to an election.
Senator GoRMAN has the courage of
his convictions, combined with the
| courtesy of a diplomat. His aggres-
siveness attracts and convinees, instead
of repelling and exciting antagonism.
These are rare qualities III a political
leader, and GoRMAN is a leaderin every
sense of the word. Should he be the
choice of the Chicago convention, the
campaign would be conducted on live
issues of the day. involving sound Dem
oeratic principles.

WILL Do GOOD.

The decision of the supreme court of
Wisconsin inyalidating the apportion-
ment acts of the last legislature leaves
the former pportionments in forces, but,
fortunately, there is ample time for the
governor to reconvene the legislature to
do the work over in season for the years
elections. AS both the executive and
the two houses are Democratic, there
will be no disposition to allow the work
of the Republicans to stand. In fact, as
1t Is off the same piece as the one the
court has condemned, it is probable that
if it were brought to the same
legal test, it would fail to pass
the ordeal The Democrats insist
that they only followed the prece-
dents the Republicans have been
setting them the past thirty years. 1t
was their misfortune that the line was
drawn the first time in the history of
the state at their expense. The only
defense of the action of the legislature
Is found in the alleged fidelity to the

Possibly the task of providing major

more difficult because their vote is not
diffused quite so equally over the
state as that of the Republic
ans. But unless there can be an
apportionment that does not tangle
boundary lines absurdly and preserve
some sort of equality of members, while
giving the Democrats a fair chance.
they might as we'll accept the work of
the Republicans. But that is improb-
able. lis quite permissible for any
party to serve itself so far as it NAV in
following the requirements of the law
and serving the convenience of the yot-
ers. Although perhaps of some tempo
rary disadvantage to. the Democrats, it is
not regretted that a way is being found
to compel parties to be decent and fair
in this apportionment business. The
Wisconsin decision will be wide-reacf-
ing. 1t will afford suggestion to other
states, as both the laws of the states and
the practices of political parties are

The delightful poet, Eugene Field.

genius. A recent writer, in pleasant
description of Mr.. Fields home lite, tells
this. among other characteristic things:
1t seems that Mrs. Field. notwithstand-

faith in his monetary reliability. She
had recently handed over to him the
cash with which to make his life insur-

him her agent for the transaction of
the business. A few hours later he re-
turned to the house accompanied by a
man who bore eight large pasteboard
boxes on his shoulder. Mr.. Field had
come upon very fine collection of but
terfieS 800 Specimens-and,f forgetting
all about the insurance, had purchased
them. 1t is agreeable to be able to add
that Mr.. Field made things all right

only profits they have made for years
came from the increase in the value of

poor men, and one of these laws was the
decentralization of silver. IL was a Re

DETROIT, Mich, March %. = The
Tribune tomorrow will reiterate the
statement made in it last Tuesday, to
the effect that ID. B. Hill had declared
that he would not be candidate
in the coming presidential race.
Continuing, the Tribune will say: There
seems absolutely no doubt that Mr.
Hill has declared in so many words his
intention not to ask the Chicago con-
vention to place him at the head OF the
ticket. Whether or not he was sincere
is another question. His friends i'll

sition that he means what he
says. The developments OF the
next ten days will tell the story. Not

had been let into the secret. and they

that his determination be not adver-

become apparent to the world

friends. 1t is not the purpose of the
senator to make any formal avowal OF
his intentions. but he Will show his
hand nevertheless plainly, and that soon.

went as emisSaries TO Washington

they be charged with baeach OF faith
in letting the cat out OF the bag too

the matter, however.
