Reliance VS.. PaternaliSm.

New York Times.
If the farmers of Minnesota were led
by a reasonable person. they might
profit by the example OF their brethren
in the wheat-growing counties of East
ern Washington and Western Idaho,
who have made an interesting exhibit
ton of self-reliance. The grain trade
in that region was held three years ago
bv two elevator companies which were
allied to the Northern Pacific and
Union Pacific Railroad companies,
respectively. These companies con-
trolled the price of wheat, to the
great disadvantage of the producer.
But when the Farmers Alliance in
Washington sought for relief II did not
demand that the state should go into
the grain trade. The farmers decided
that they themselves should carry OH
the business in competition with the
railroad companies. The erection of
the first warehouse by a company COM
posed of farmers was soon followed by
the construction Of many others. Farm
ers alone were allowed to hold shares of
stock. The parent company now owns
thirty warehouses, and controls about
two-thirds of the grain trade of the dis
trict.
Not only have the wheat growers
gained something in prices and in &C
commodation. but those who own shares
of stock have enjoyed large dividends.
The profits of these warehouses or ele-
vators have permitted the payment of
dividends ranging from 25 to 60 per
cent. Twenty of them show an average
annual dividend of AZ per cent for the
last two years. The owners of the eIe-
vators at Pullman and Palouse divided
90 per cent last year, and 80 per cent
was paid to the shareholders out of the
profits of the elevator at Latah. This
system of local warehouses needs to be
supplemented 10y large warehouse at
tidewater, and the farmers have organ
lied company with capital OF S15o.000
to erect such a warehouse on the coast
at Seattle or Tacoma.
BY the side of such work as this, the
paternaliSt projects of the followers of
Donnelly in Minnesota seem weak and
puerile. The farmers In the Palouse
country, members of the Alliance them
selves, have put to shame the advocates
of the Alliances scheme for a paternal-
list warehouse in every county of the
United States, to be erected and sup
ported by the government. Ii these
farmers, in newly settled region where
the railroad companies are more power
full than in Minnesota, have been able to
accomplish so much, the farmers OF
Minnesota could do as well. But in the
PalOuse country the wheat growers do
not permit themselves to be led and
ruled by hySterical demagogue.

tue general welfare clause and fastened
on the country the Dartmouth college
doctrine of the contract nature Of char
tiers.
1t is true that the same court in the
cases arising out of the reconstruction
acts OF congress resisted the encroach-
ment of that body on the states, but
these acts were, as THADDEUs STEVENS
admitted during the debates. 'outside
of and above the constitution" Since
then we have had decisions steadily en-
larging the powers of congress and the
federal courts, the latest of which are the
BAUGH and the Chinese exclusion
cases; the one overriding and annulfing
the law of the state settled by its court
of final resort, and the other holding
that congress can expel persons domi-
clled under treaty in the states.
If the states are to be preserved, if
we are not to become "a nation with
big n" if the states are to continue to
be more than mere provinces, then it Is
essential that men occupy places on
that bench who have the democratic
conception Of the constitution as con-
tanning granted powers only, and, like
all grants, to be construed strictly
against the grantee. The paternalist
would stretch the general welfare clause
to cover protective tariffs and bounties
because his concept of government en-
braced its possession of such power;
the democrat would deny it because it
is power withheld from congress.

A JAPANESE CRISIS.

If charity covereth a multitude Of
sins, it also inspires innumerable pleas
ures. 1t is not the least encouraging
manifestation of our social development
that more and more frequently society
so-called-turnsr its energies to account
by providing for itself, and the rest of
Us, amuSements that have for their end
the lettering Of the condition Of those
others who have passed beyond the
reach of gayety, and who can hope only
for little more comfort, or little less
pain. I'm all this there is doubtless
much Of selfish pleasure, but certainly
much more of unselfiSh care for the
good of less fortunate fellow beings.
Nor is the excellence of the thing con-
fined to help rendered the needy and
suffering. Gayety in itself is an ex-
celIent thing, tightening. if prolonging,
the burdens of life. The faculty of be-
ing gay is one that our people wofully
lack and should persistently cultivate.
An opportunity both to develop this
much-to- be-desired characteristic and to
assist very deserving charity will be
afforded each over-driven citizen Of st.
Paul tomorrow evening at the Grand
opera house.
GILBERT and SULLIvAN's fascinating
opera, The Mikado," is then to be re-
produced (and again at a matinee on
Monday afternoom by st. Paul's very
best amateurs. The proceeds are to be
devoted to the endowment of st. Johns
room in st. Luke's hospital, to COM
plete which the sum of $4,000 has still
to be provided.
The cast for the opera gives fore
taste of the pleasure which we all have
assured us. The few that have been
allowed to attend the rehearsals say
that Miss GORDON as Yum Yum, Mrs.
j. d. LAWYER as KatiSha, the ever-popu-
lar WILKES as the Mkado, together
with the Minneapolis contribution of
Col. REEVE to fill the part of Poo Bah.
and the strong local talent in the other
characters, will compel even the best
known opera companies to look to their
laurels. The chorus, too, is said to be
exceptionally strong.
1t is gratifying to know that the seats
are being taken rapidly. The hard
work that has been done ought to be re-
warded by handsome returns.
AS between Mr.. MILLS with the
wrath to come and our young people
with the pleasure that is, we think it
safe to recommend for one night. at
least. the innocent pleasures of the
court Of Japan.

NO WONDER.

In commenting on a communication
from one of the advocates of free coin
age we said: "But the GLOBE doubts
the utility of serious argument with any
one who maintains that any government
can take "a cents worth of fine silver,
stamp it one dollar and really make it
an honest debt-paying dollar"
The Representative, the new medium
by which Mr.. DONNELLY hopes to
maintain his place upon the public
stage and keep stirred the discomfort
with everything but himself which
showed such unmistakable signs of col
lapse in the election last year. has an
article evidently by the writer of tn e
communication to the GLOBE.
The article merits the same reply
given to the communication, and it is not
the purpose of this notice of it to give
it any other. Our object is to extract
from it one of its statements Of "fact'
to show that it is no wonder that the
and take it for gospel truth, reach the
absurd conclusions in regard to finance
and currency and the purposes and linn
its of governments shown in the defunct
Greenbaek movement and in the present
Populist craze.
I'VE also remember says this'Wrlter,
''that the next conspiracy was to secure
a contraction of the currency $50 that
the banks could control the money cir
culation) by the passage of the act Of
April II, 1866, authorizing the sale of
$50 bonds for greenbacks and United
States currency, and the destruction of
the same. At that time the greenback
was the only evidence of indebtedness
which was not drawing interest, and
which, as money, everybody was salts
fed with. They amounted to over two
billion dollars, and, as the war was
over, there was no necessity for con-
verting this vast sum into an interest
bearing Indebtedness. But the money
power was omnipotent. and this crime
was conSummated. This contraction
went on from 1866 to 1876 at the rate Of
of 5000, 100000 per annum." etc.
The GLOBE now understands how
the writer of such stuff as this is SO con-
stituted mentally that he can believe
that government fiat is all that is need
ed to aichemize sixty-four or any less
number of cents worth of silver into
one hundred cents worth. To such a
mind, given government. and every-
thing is possible; nothing impossible.
Facts are useless; fiction is fact. Struct,~

THE RIGHT MAN,

1t is gratifying to observe the able
and cIear-headed manner in which
Comptroller ECKELs is taking hold of
his duties. His determination to in
crease the number of bank examiners,
and to employ only men who are compe-
tent accountants, shrewd enough to not
accept the statements of bank officials,
but look back of all said and see the
true situation, and who are temperate,
honest and Industrious, will be approved
the country over; and when his corps of
inspectors are in The harness a short
time there will be very noticeable in
crease of confidence in our national
banks.
1t is difficult to see how bank which
has been duly examined can be
wrecked; many inancierS- have boldly
charged in specific cases that the work
was accomplished through bribery of
the examiner. 1t is maintained by
very many besides Mr.. ECKELs that a
competent examiner can completely
foil any effort to wreck a bank; but that
hundreds of banks have gone down
under the very eyes Of examiners is
we'll known.
The first examiner discharged by Mr..
ECKELs is Democrat. and the grounds
of the discharge, as specified by the
comptroller, were, that he drank
whisky, that he reported as sound a
bank which shortly afterward failed,
and that he accepted money from a
bank white he was examining its ac-
counts. The discharged man was an
appointee of President CLEVELAND in
his first term, and he held through
President HARRIsoN's term.
1t is q matter Of graveSt Importance
that stop shall be put to the wrecking
Of banks, which has been practiced de-
liberately many years. 1t has long been
so common to read Of the failures Of ma
tiOnal banks, that the news attracts lit
tie attention, even though accompanied,
as il generally is, with the sad story of
hundreds of people lett penniless. TO
say that every one Of these failures
could not have been prevented by proper
official examinations seems unreasoE-
able.
A number of the examiners, through
many years of service, have not had a
failure in their districts, while each has
unearthed much crooked work.
Every indication assures the public
that Mr.. CLEVELAND chose just the
man for national comptroller.

DEMOCRACY IN THE JUDI
CTARY

While there is no room for question
ing the soundness of the policy which
would remove the trial courts of the
country from ENHANCEMENT with mere
partisanism, there is room for very seri-
Gus doubt of the wisdom of emitting po-
HticaI considerations from entering into
the selection Of judges of the courts of
last resort, and especially those Of the
federal supreme court.
In the states questions will occasion
ally reach their final courts which in
volve the constitutional exercise of DOW
erS by the legislature; powers not ex-
pressly inhibited,yet lying close to the
border land of the bill of rights. If the
question is one of first impressions, if
the court either finds no precedent
which binds it or which it is
inclined to follow, then. naturally, the
decision of the court is determined by
the concept the judges or majority of
them have formed of the functional
limits of a states power. If from train
ing or natural bent Of mind they view
the state from the paternalistic point,
they will be disinclined to deny to the
legislature any paternal exercise of
power not absolutely and plainly de-
MED it in the constitution. Ifthey have
by the same process formed the demo-
cratic concept of state, regarding it as
having but little more than police power
to secure to each citizen an equal ENJOY
ment of life, liberty and the pursuit of
hippiness," and to see that he yield to
others the same measure of right, they
will be inclined to guard popular liber-
ties and curb legislative powers.
In far larger measure this applies
to the federal courts, because congress
exercises only expressly delegated pow
ers. The country feels today the i'm
pulse given by the decisions of that
staunch old Federalist, JOHN MAR
SHALL, who absorbed Jurisdiction for
his court and power for congress as a
sponge absorbS water. Dominating the
federal supreme court when original
questions of the powers of congress
were frequently before it, he invariably
gave to the constitution that construc-
ton which added to the power of that
body. He did this unconsciously, and
because he believed sincerely in the
efficacy of government and the ineapac-
i:y of the people for self-government.
He drove his coach and four through

A PRETTY RIVALRY.

Both Seattle and Everett claim to be

Seattle has h little the start of Everett

spirit of iydlry is so strong that Everett
may profit Ivy what Seattle has done,
and proceed to Guido it. The exhibit of
the latter city will be drawn by team
of twenty hprses, fact which affords
something OF an idea of the extent to
which the city will celebrate with us.
Everett has begun lively work, and
will soon be upon the grounds.
This is not the only rivalry. About
every city of any Importance on the
line Of the Great Northern from ST, Paul

1t is happily oblivious to its own mega
tions.
When the retiring act was passed in
1866 there were in circulation 1882. 000,-
600 of greenbacks of the $3.50. 100000
authorized by the acts OF 1868, instead
Of lover two billions" When retire-
ment was stopped in 1878, SS6,000,00o
had been cancelled, and 100000
have remained in circulation ever since.s
1t the writer in the Representative had
the faculty of using figures fer purposes
of computation, instead Of for assevera-
ton merely, he would have seen that
his contraction of $500, 900. 900 year for
ten years would have wiped out the two
billion of greenbacks with which he
started in 1866 and have left nothing of
his rag baby in 1876. 1t is this reckless
ness of statement, this Indifference to
facts, this love of the glamor of sonorous
assertion that furnishes the foundation
for the visions of finance and state
functions of the Populists, and is at
once their strength and their weakness.
