A REVIVAL OF KNOWNOTH.
INGISM.

Democrats can we'll afford to look
aSkance at the present efforts to re-
strict immigration. The source OF the
attack on it renders its real motive sus-
picious. There is no sufficient reason
for it. We have barely begun the de-
velopment of our resources. We have
population of but seventeen to the
square mile. This can be increased ten
fold before any pressure will be felt.
The evils Of immigration can be re-
moved without shutting it off. Ger
tificates of good character from the Of
ticialS of the locality may be required,
and will aid in shutting out the Grim
lnals. Similar certificates of industry
and self-support will keep back the
pauper class. Provisions here in our
laws for the deport alton, after service
of sentence, of foreigners who have
committed crime here. to the country
whence they came. and Tor tine return
to their country of those who become
paupers within fixed time, would
guard us sufficiently. The repeal of
laws permitting foreigner to vote I'M
til he becomes a full citizen, restoring
the old limit of five or seven years,
would remove almost entirely the evils
in our suffrage resulting from immi-
grafton.
The source of the movement. with
other indications, shows that back OF the
pretense is revival of KnOWnothing-
ism. The Republican party absorbed
the Knownothing element, and it re-
mains there today. The anti-Catholic
societies, which are becoming numerous
and mischievoUs, are one phase of this
revival. The Patriotic Sons of America
is but another form of the same move
ment. The cholera scare is their oppor-
tunity. They are exploiting it for
all it will bear. BILL" CHAND LER's
bill for suspension of immigration
for year is the first product. He
measure as safeguard against infec-
ton. He says the suspension may be
easily prolonged. With its expiration will
come demand for its renewal. Plaus-
IDLE preteXts for it will not he wanting.
The anti-foreign feeling will meantime
be cultivated. The sentiment of Amer
lea for Americans will be cOddled.
The breakup of parties will favor its
growth. When strong enough to dare,
all pretense will be thrown off, and we
will have another era OF hate-breeding
political strife. The first step in this
direction is BILL" CHANDELIERS sus-

POCOCK AND PETrICOATS.
Why an Adjutant General Was
Asked to Resign.

TOLEDO, o., Jan. 8.-A private dis
patch to the Toledo Commercial from
Columbus says chat Gov. Mckinley yes
terday requested Adit Gen. POcock to
hand in his resignation. This is tho
outcome of long and bitter fight
which nearly all the military men of the
state have been Naging against hun for
nearly three months. The trouble was
started at the dedication of the worlds
fair buildings last October. 1t Is said
that Mr.. PocOck refused to take his
wife with him on the ground that he
would be too busy commanding the
Ohio troops. When the governors
staff reached that city, however,
the general introduced to them
a Miss Rhodes. of GAINESVILLE,
whom he announced as friend of the
family. so attentive was the general TO
her that the Ohio troops were very
poorly managed. Gov. Mckinley re-
lieyed him of the command on the sec
Ond day, placing Asst. AdjI. Gen. Howe
in command When the party arrived
at Columbus the governor called q meet
ing of staff officers, and there all POI
cocks actions were discussed. "A bri-
gade formation OF Ohio troops is t. be
effected at a meeting to be- held here
Wednesday, and the reglmental officers
over the state have refused to take any
part i'll anything that POcOcl has any
thing to do with. Col. Bunker. of Toledo.
placed the matter before the governor
yesterday, with the result that Pocock's
resignation was demanded. POcOck has
employed detective to obtain evidence
that Miss Rhodes is of good character.
COLUMBUS. o., Jan. S.-The report
that Gov. Mckinley has demanded the
resignation of Adjt. Gen. Pocock is
without foundations in fact. The gov
eTnor has received petitions signed by
the officers of the various regiments of
the national guard in the state. with
one or two exceptions, expressing con-
fidence in the adjutant general and
disbelief in the reports which have been
circulated against him. The exceptions
noted of those who have not thus
petitioned the governor are one
man who was candidate for
adjutant general When POc0ck was
appointed. and another who wanted his
regiment increased twO companies,
request which the adiutant general
refused to grant. Coils Bunker. of To-
lsdo; Gibbons, of Cleveland, aud Gel
ger. OF Akron, called OH the governor
yesterday in the interest of Gen. l'O-
cock. The governor has stated that no
formal charges have been filed against
POcOck, and that he will not consider
anything of that character. unless it is
formally presented in writing.

The Polk County journal Gives
an Interesting Story for AL
lance Men.
Who has been travelling on railroad
pass belonging to Senator l.. q. Wood,
of Marshall county?
That some one besides the venerable
senator has been trying to do so is EVIL
denced by the following from the Polk
County Journal:
Going down on the Northern Pacific
train on Friday evening of last week
somebody handed the conductor a pass
made out in the name of Senator l.. q.
Wood, and when requested to signed
his name wrote 81. q. Wood" but it
was so different from the signature on
the pass that the conductor was sus-
picious and requested him to identity
himself further by showing some letter
or paper or any document he might have
about him. This the man utterly re-
fused to do. and when informed that
unless he did so he would be obliged to
put up for his fare and forfeit the pass,
he produced fat Docketbuok and pro-
ducing $40 bill, handed it to the con
ductor, who kept the pass and handed
back the change. The question is, eff
that was Senator Wood why did he pay
his fare rather than comply with rea-
sonable request, and if it was not him
who was iI?''
a gentleman we'll acquainted with
Senator Wood was in the city day
Or two ago aud explained this incident,
saying that the pass had been given by
Senator WoDd OF his son to a man who
is now an officer OF the senate, and that
it was used by him. Evidently this was
between Marshall county and Winnipeg
Junction. where new conductor was
encountered, who tcok up the pass.
Senator Wood evidently believes i'll
making the fullest possible use Of bis
railroad passes.
Senator Wood is one OF the three
Alliance senators who deserted their
constituents on the organization of the
senate last Tuesday. He received in
addition 10 a federal office he has been
holding, ii s. per day job around the

CIVILIZATION AND SUICIDE

CIVILIZATION AND SUICIDE.
Attention has frequently been called
to the fact that as civilization advances
the ratio of suicides increases. Socolo
gists have even gone so far as establish
a nations intellectual standing on the
basis of its proportion of suicides.
Where the average Of intellectually is
highest there is certain to be high
ratio of suicides. There are few sui
cides among illiterate people-none at
all among savages. "Lo! the poor In
dian, whose untutored mind" doesn't
bother him with its sensitiveness, with
its susceptibility to the whips and
scorns of time" with its unsatisfed
cravings and vague aspirationS-poor
Lo, we observe, shifts along very COM
forta5ly through life, and never thinks
OF voluntarily taking short cut to the
happy hunting grounds.
The particular inspiration for these
general reflections on not very cheer
full subject is the reported agitation in
Denmark for stringent legal precau-
tons which shall tend to check the
alarming increase of suicide. The gov
ernment fav0rs law turning over the
bodies of suicides to the medical schools
for the purposes of dissection. Such
law is already in force in Sweden, how
ever, and it has proved a failure as
deterrent on self-deStruction. When a
man gets into a suicidal frame of mind
it requires something more than re
gard of the Integrity of his prospective
remains to dissuade him from his pur-
pose
Pessmists find basis for many
gloomy theories i'll the fact that sui
eide is q concomitant of acute refine
ment. They point to it as conclusive
evidence that civilization doesn't pay.

rance than we who seek to run away

perhaps be as we'll to bolster up our

GOV. NELSON AND THE GRAIN
PROBLEM.

Gov. NELSON in his inaugural prop
erly devOteS a good deal of space to
consideration of the grain market ques-
ton, which was the only state issue
made in the campaign. 1t is, as he OBJ
serves, one of first Importance, not only
to the farmers of the state but to all, for
there are none whose prosperity is not
affected by that of the farmer or his
lack of it. AS such it should nave the
attention of the legislature with pur-
pose single to remedying the evils COM
planned of, and justly so, as both Gov.
MERRIAM and Gov. NELSON admit.
In the discussion of the question
which the GLOBE purposes to continue
during the tendency of the question in
the legislature, it is just as well to have
the ground cleared of mistaken state
ment, especially when recommendations
are made to extend a system which are
based on error.
Gov. NELSON says that the act of 1885
was enacted Tin obedience to popular
demand' for law regulating the
weighing. grading and inspection of
grain at the terminals in Duluth, St.
Paul and Minneapolis, and controlling
the elevators at those places. AS the
governor was in congress at that time,
he probably bases his statement of the
reasons for that act Oh hearsay and not
upon personal knowledge. The com
plants then, as ever since and now, were
not of treatment at the terminals; for
then, as now, but a small percentage of
the farmers Of the state shipped to the
terminals; but they were of the action
of the managers Of the country ele-
vators III dockage, weights and grades.
They claimed that the dockage was eX-
cessive; that they were robbed in
weights, and Systematically defrauded
in their grades.
To remedy the cause of these COM
plants, the Justice of which was adj
mittRd by the attempt to provide any
remedy, the legislature passed the act
of 'o5, which only provided for weigh
ing and inspection after the farmer
had sold his grain and when any
injury to him had been sustained
long before. Whatever interests were
served by that act, they certain
ly were not those of the farmers.
The fact that it could only aid the mill
ers and elevators laid the act open to
the suspicion, then openly expressed,
that it was drafted by and passed solely
in their interests.
One of the members of the grain com
mission was asked no W the law could
possibly aid the farmer who sold to 10
cal elevators. He admitted that that
point had occasioned the commission a
great deal of worry, and that they had
concluded that all they could do under
the act was to send out weekly state
ments, to be posted in the country
elevators. of the grain receipts of the
previous week. with the grading given.
He admitted that this would have slight,
ii any effect, but it is all we can do"
The governor is in error, then, as to
the source of the complaints and of the
popular" demand for the act of 'S5.
There may have been demand for it.,
but it was not popular one. 1t is well
to have this point made clear, because
his recommendations are predicated
on it,.
