THE PRESENT DUTY.

The Pioneer Press puts US under obi
cations for its elaboration of our ''Rem-
lniScence." 1t makes palmer the point
we wished to emphpsize in this rather
prohtlesS discussion of culpability for
legislation now all but universally ad-
mltted to be vicious: point called out
Ov the unwarranted arrogation to its
party by our contemporary of all iinan-
cial soundness and its equally unwar-
ranted aspersiOns on the Democratic
party.
We have never sought to hide the fact
that there is and has been in the Dem
ocratic party an element of undemo-
cratic men who consult expediency and
partisan finesse rather than principle.
We have them today, and. as we have
before stated, the only danger of a re-
pudiation of the tariff reform pledges of
the party rests in this fact. But this
element is not controlling one, and
we know that it is diminishing steadily
before the growth of the other element
which believes that in all public meas
ures it is principle and not expediency
that should control action.
But that Democratic house in 1876
went wrong on financial question does
not relieve the Republicans. who con-
trolled the senate and the executive and
the power to block the action of the
house, from blame for compromising
sound principles for considerations of
eXpediency. Whatever justification
there was for the act of rs, none exists
for that of '90.where the Republicans had
absolute control of and sole RESPONSE
bility for legislation. 1t had the eXecu-
tive, the senate and the house, and two
thirds majority in the Fifty-first con-
gresS could have overridden the presi-
dental veto. as did the Forty-fifth.
But whatever of blame for past
acts attaches to either party, and IN
whatever share, is now Immaterial.
The question TO be met is one of pres
ent fact. not of past history. There is
now no decided unanimity of opinion in
any one party. The free coinage virus
is working in the veins of all. Under
such circumstances party lines are eff
faced, and men OF similar views should
drop past differences and stand together
for what they deem is right. Past mis-
takes will not justify present repeti-
tons. There should be a return to first
principles: those which time has proven
to be sound; which all sanely thinking
men in any party acknowledge to be
sound. The idea that the government
can create values should be discarded.
The principle should be enforced that
the only coinage function of the gov
eminent is to ascertain the commercial
values and ratios of its two coin metals
and adjust the weights of its coins to
that ratio and permit free coinage of
the bullion OF either its citizens may
produce. There should be, there is no
difference of opinion between Demo-
Gratis or Republicans as to this; there
should be unanimity of action based
on it.

CLEARING SKIES.

Within the past two weeks financial
reports from the Pacific coast. particu-
larly in the vicinity of San Francisco,
have been of the most fattering de-
scriptiOn. There is certain return of
confidence, and daily announced bulle-
tins are to the effect that the worst is
over.
This encouraging news is now sup
plemented by adyices from New York
and other Eastern seaboard cities of
most assuring tone and significance.
On Wall street yesterday all leading
stocks were higher, and strong,
healthy movement was experienced in
every direction. For the first time in a
number of anxious days clearing house
certificates were abandoned, and bust
ness is now conducted III New York on
Legitimate plane and with much of
the old-time vivacity and confidence.
The continual increase in gold i'm
ports, and the millions more in sight,
for which there is certain American
demand, has done much in the way of
Frightening the financial skies. Mills
and factories are starting up, East and
West, banks are resuming with far less
sensational demonstration than marked
their temporary suspension, and the
general trend of business is toward it
normal activity.
The effect of this welcome revival
cannot fail to reach the West and Moth
west under the stimulating impetus of
commercial exchange. Confidence is in
the air, and it cannot, therefore, be con-
fined to any prescribed sections. The
Northwest must soon experience large
share of these beneficial business adj
justmentS.
/ Undoubtedly the fact that congress is
in session with settled purpose TO
remedy, so far as lies in its power, the
evils bequeathed TO the country by
short-sighted Republican financial Iegis-
lation, has much to do with the present
business awakening and brighter out
look. 1t only remains for congress to
prove that the confidence of the people
in its potency has not been misplaced.

EVENTFUL BUT ENCOURAG-
ING WEEK.

The past week has demonstrated the
solidity of st. Paul.
Last Friday morning the GLOBE was
compelled to announce that the Ma
tionai German-American bank had tens
porarily suspended. The announce
ment came like a thunder-clap TO the
general community and the whole
Northwest. For just about twenty-four
hours this city was financially daZed.
One nights rest restored the eQui-
librium, and, beginning with last Satur-
day morning, there has been no excite
ment, no runs on the banks. no alarm.
Since the people took time to reflect,
they saw that while their money was
temporarily tied up in the suspended
bank, it was not lost. They saw, too,
that all the banks in the city were SOL
vent, and that depoSitorS were secure.
No bank expects to be able to pay all
its depoSitorS on given day. but all
solvent banks keep sufficient resources
to meet all demands when time is given
them to turn their resources into cash,
and that is the condition of all of the
st. Paul banks.
Those who are active in business af-
fairs knew this prior to the suspension
OF week ago. and those who did not SO
closely watch matters have ascertained
the fact since their attention has been
so directly called to the financial situa-
ton.
In the meantime, in the week which
has passed, confidence in the strength
OF our banks has been restored, and al
engagements are in progress for the
speedy resumption of those which Sus-
pended.
The comptroller at Washington is in
cooperation with the officers of the Ma
tionai GermanAmerican for the re-
sumption of business. Mr.. Jockey,
the president of the bank, received the
warmest assurances of his support on
his visit few days ago. The stock
holders of the bank are to meet next
Thursday, and there seems no question
that arrangements will then be per-
fected for the early resumption of bust.
hess.
The week, therefore, while it brought
its disaster, brought also its compensat-
ing features. 1t demonstrated that the
business and business men of st. Paul
are on solid basis. 1t demonstrated
that If an era of confidence could be Sc.
cured throughout the country equal to
that which has developed. III St. Paul
there would soon be revival of bust
ness from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
With congress in session for the pur-
pose of extending relief, with more
hopeful feeling throughout the coun-
try. with the pluck and energy of the
American people as great as ever, there
is every reason for anticipating speedy
relief from the financial slough of de-
spOnd into which we have fallen.

THE OHIO DEMoCRArs.

The Democrats of Ohio have met in
convention, in numbers which bespeak
their courage and their confidence; they
have adopted sound platform, and
have put sound, earnest man on it as
their candidate for gov ernor.
We congratulate the Democrats of
that state on their work 1t is distinct
triumph for the conscience element Of
the party. The issue-dodging, eXpe-
diency-hunting crowd, who so often
have driven the party there into de-
served defeat, have lost control. The
earnest men are in the saddle. The
work of the HURDS. the JoHNsoNs and
the HARTERS is bearing fruit.
1t is fitting to send LARRY NEAL.

who led the assault on the tariff straddle
of the Chicago convention. and made
that plank speak the honest belief of the
mass of the party and avow frankly
their purpose.
1t was one of the misconceptions of
an assault ON CLEVELAND. It is true
that 1t was supported by the anti
CLEVELAND element in the convention
and that it was opposed bv such uncom-
promising CLEVELAND delegations as
MinreSota's. 1t is true that NEAL was
permitted to go on the platform commit
tee because he was thought TO be "all
right for the straddle. These miscon-
ceptions. with their currents of action at
cross purposes, only Illustrate how the
evil purposes of men are controlled to
the service of good ends. MEALS
amendments supported by CLEvELAND's
enemies and opposed by many of his
friends, made certain both the nomlna-
ton and election of Mr.. CLEVELAND.
The coinage sentiment of the con VEN
ton, as shown both in the platform and
the opening speech of Chairman BAR
GER, reveals sOundneSs that is in
pleasant contrast to the financial pIanks
of the party in that state during the
prevalence of the greenback craze, of
which this silver lunacy is but a resur-
rection and revivification. The indorse-
ment of the national platform was a de-
served Endorsement of their nominee
for governor. The contest is thus made

THE MAN WHO sTops.

Few active business men III ST. Paul
or indeed in any other city, can hardly
fail to identity that eccentric individu-
ais, generally of the male gender, who
suddenly comes to dead standstill in
the middle of the sidewalk and immedi-
ately in front of the aforesaid active
business man on business bent.
There is no time for mutual eXplana-
tions and apologies. Nine times out of
ten the active business man is in no
mood to receive apologies, and the Man
Who Stops not in possession of that
nameless social vocabulary necessary
to frame them. The man who stops
suddenly on crowded sidewalk is a
genuine boar, and not constructed for
apologetic etiquette. He was, unfort-
unately, not born that way. Now il
certainly requires but little presence of
mind for any one struck with a sudden
thought inducing a change of direction
to step aside from the burrying mass of
humanity behind him, or, at least, walk
into the doorway of a store out of
the reach of the madding crowd To
allow sea of humanity in his wake to
bump up against him, to the certain de-
structon of temper. and possibly injury
to anatomy, is one of those blunders
which marching society will never for
give.
Generally the Man Who Stops is
whirled violently around a few times
on his own axis, and everybody is g lad
OF 1t. They are glad whenever he gets
the worst of it on the street, on the
crowded depot platform, on the steamer
gang plank. If his hat is iammed over
his eyes they smile; if Knocked into the
gutter, they are wildly hilarious.
The Man Who Stops is an eighteen
carat nuisance

A Great Public Work.

Nothing is more remarkable than the
vast contrast that exists between the
noise, the froth and the foa of politics
in France, and the quiet. silent, deter
mined way in which every enterprise
connected with the defense of the re-
public or the prosperity of its colonies is
undertaken and carried out. One of.
the most noteworthy of these, says the
New York Tribune. is the construction
of the harbor and fort of Tunis, which
have just been completed by The French
government. The capital of Tunis is
separated from the sea by lagoon
twelves miles long. which was not even
navigable for small steamers, while the
port itself.La Goulette, was so shallow
that passenger boats had to renal IL at
distance of about three-Quarters of
mile out at sea. Within the short space
of five years France has entirely
metamorphosed this state of affairs, and

electricity. and moor alongside the ne w
ly constructed quays, which at present

The Surveyor General Holds Logs
! for His Fees and the DEPUTY
Marshal Goes to Gust Him
Order OF Court to Be Tried
Against Fighting Jacks Big
Guns.
An unprecedented occurrence has
marked the present state administration
as an anamoly. Some months ago. as
all who are interested in the lumber in
dustry of the state are aware, Surveyor
General Mullen, late adJutant general
of the state, seized lot of logs lying off
Beef slough, near Red Wing. in the
Mississippi river. 1t is related by the
people to the controversy that the sur
veyor general had conditional claim
upon the logs for surveyors fees, as
prescribed by the statutes of the state.
The owners of the logs refused to pay
the fees, claiming that they were ex-
orbitant, and the seizure followed.
For month the owners have been
threatening to recover the property by
force, and this excited the doughty gen
eral to drastic action. He consulted
Tams Bixby, the governors genial and
astute secretary, and as result of this
conference the surveyor general secured
number of stands of arms from the
state arsenal. aud it is his avowed pur-
pose to light it out on this line if it
takes all summer"
Gen. Mullen is now stationed at his
point of vantage, with an armed band,
and he says that two of his men can
stand off all the hirelings of the lumber
men. if worst comes to worst. He ha 3
asserted his determination to fight, and
he maintains that he is fortified by the
laws of the state in the beiIigerent posi-
tiou that he has assumed.
Sheehan VS.. Mullen.
1t seems that the owners of the logs
are proceeding with civil processes at
law rather than by open demonstration
at arms. Yesterday Deputy United
States Marshal Sheehan went to the
scene of the war. and he is supposed to
be armed with the necessary papers,
taken out i'll Uncle Sans court, to take
possession of the property involved in
GIIC IL 10 llOW
whether the plucky surveyor general
will concludes that his office Supersedes
that of the United States court, and
whether resistance will be offered TO
Mr.. Sheehan. If this be so, there may
be exciting, and possibly sanguinary
scenes enacted at the foot of the lake
today, for Mr.. Sheehan, after his eXpe-
rience with the Chippewa Indians, is
not likely to retire from the field with
out heroic effort to carry out The in
functions of the United States court.
He has gone, it is claimed. with full
powers, and there is little question that
he will exercise those powers, even if
he has to resort to force.
AS to the right that the adjutant gen.
eral exercised in furnishing the rifles TO
the surveyor general 10 defend civil
claim there is big question, and it may
prove mighty unpleasant before the
matter is finally adjudicated. There is
no record that the governor has ordered
this disposition of the guns of the state,
and there is seemingly no occasion for
such course. There is, it is asserted,
no Semblance of a riot. and no danger
of blOodshed at the lake, and it is only
in such instances that the governor
