WELCOME. MR.. MERRIAM.

In cessing to be a Republican gov
ernor. Mr.. MERRIAM shows alarming
symptoms OF becoming a very sound
Democrat; and for the symptoms, even,
the GLOBE bids him welcome. 1t is
true that the ex-governor betrayed SIM
liar alarming symptoms when he made
that very able Democratic address to
the Alliance in March. 80, though he re-
covered quickly under the recuperatlve
effects of second nomination; but as
that medicine is exhausted, it is prob
able that the disease will run its course
and the genial governor will conYaleSce
in the Democratic hospital.
The GLOBE IS led to this diagnosis of
the case from the opening words of the
farewell address he delivered yesterday
to the Joint session of the legislature.
1t is possible, of course, that the ex-
governor may not have got the precise
bearings of the words and sentiments
he announced. He may even believe
that they will stand the test of Repub
Iicanism. If so, he should at once
counsel with the senior senator from
this state and prepare formal recanta-
ton. The senator has had the ad-
vantage of a long absence from the
heretical air of Minnesota, living in the
true MCKINLEY atmosphere of Wash
ington so long that he knows Repub-
licanism at sight and is not liable to
"slOp over"
The retiring governor warns the legiS-
lators against 'all legislation which has
for its aim the protection of any special
interest" That has a JeffersOnian ring
to it. But he amplties. He tells them
that discrimination of any character
that is to the advantage of one citizen
and works injury to another should be
studiously avoided as unfair and not in
accord with free Institutions" Every
Democrat will say amen to that as a
plain statement of his faith. AS if the
foregoing were not sufficiently explicit +,
| he went on to say that ''the spirit If
paternalism, so-called, in government
seems to pervade the public mind to an
alarming extent, and, if carried to its
logical and inevitable conclusion, must
eyentuate in the building up of favored
classes and communities to the detri-
ment of the people"
Tue GLOBE will not believe that, after
the manner of the ancient augurs when
they met. Gov. MERRIAM turned aside
to wink at Gov. NELSON as these Demo
cratic sentiments fell from his lips. 1t
prefers to believe that he really means
what he says; that he intends to shape
his political course by them; and, be-
lieving this, the GLOBE halls the coming
recruit to the ranks of Democracy aud
| bids him welcome.

PIERCE REMEMBERED.
The Editor Nominated as Minister
to Portugal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The president
today sent to the senate the following
nominations: Gilbert A. Pierce, Of
Minnesota, minister resident and con-
sui general of the United States to
Portugal. Postmasters: Iowa, James
Ii. Morrison, Seymour; Minnesota, Nor
gan F. Wescntt, Candy; Wisconsin,
Frank C. Carveny. South Superior;
South Dakota, Frank A. Hooper, Eu-
reka.
The following nominations were con-
frmed by the senate: Charles WIDOW.

at Zanzibar; Joseph r. Herod, of In
diana, second secretary of legation to
Japan; George Creighton Webb, of
New York, secretary of legation at st.
Petersburg; Grace Lamont, port mis-
tress at Dillon, Mont.
Gilbert Ashville Pierce, nominated as
minister to Portugal, was one of the
first senators from North Dakota and is
at present editor of the Minneapolis
Tribune, paper that was one of Mr..
Harrison's most loyal supporters in the
Northwest. both before and after the
nomination. Mr.. Pierce is native of
New York, and while in Indiana ell
listed at the first call for troops. win
ming the star of a colonel before the war
was over After holding various public
offices he entered the newspaper bust
ness, his first connection being that of
the editorial writer on the Chicago
Inter-Ocean. In 1884 he was appointed
governor of North Dakota, in which ca
pacity he served for two years, being
unanimously nominated by the Repub-
licans for United States senator in No
yember, 1889. 1t is understood that Dir.
Pierce has been troubled lately with an
affiction of the throat and was advised
by New York physician this winter to
seek a change of climate for some
months. Mr.. Pierce'S nomination gives
