PoCoCK AND PETrICoArs.
Why an Adjutant General Was
Asked to Resign.

Toledo, o., Jan. ga private dis
patch to the Toledo Commercial from
Columbus says chat Gov. Mckinley yes
terday requested Adjt. Gen. Pocock to
hand in his resignation. This is the
outcome of long and bitter fight
which nearly all the military men of the
state have been Naging against him for
nearly three months. The trouble was
started ut 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
Miss Rhodes. of GAINESVILLE,
whom he announced as friend of the
family. So attentive was the general 10
her that the Ohio troops were very
poorly managed. Gov. Mckinley re-
lieved him Of the command OH the sec
Ond day, placing Asst. Adjt. Gen. Howe
in command When the party arrived
at Columbus the governor called a meet
ing of staff officers, aud there all Po-
cocks actions were discussed. "A bril-
gade formation of Ohio troops is t. DO
effected at meeting TO be held here
Wednesday. and the regImental officers
over the state have refused to take any
part i'll anything thai Pocock 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 foundation in fact. The gov
ernor 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 a
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 POcock was
appointed. and another who wanted his
regiment increased two companies,
request which the adjutamt general
refused to grant. Coils. Bunker, of To-
lsdo; Gibbons. of Cleveland, aud Gel
ger. OF Akron, called on the governor
yesterday In the interest of Gen. Po-
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.

CIVILIZATION AND SUICIDE.

Attention has frequently been called
to the fact that as civilization advances
the ratio of suicides increases. Sociolo-
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 illterate 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,o 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 preeau-
tions which shall tend to check the
alarming increase of suicide. The gov
ernment favors 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
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.
Pessimists find basis for many
gloomy theories i'll the fact that sui
eide is concomitant of acute refine
ment. They point to it as a conclusive
evidence that civilization doesn't pay.
The South Sea islander, they assert, is
better off in his breech-clouJ and igno-
rance than we who seek to run away
from restless spirit in Pullman palace
cars. However this may b., it would
perhaps be as we'll to bolster up our
own well-being before we force ciyiliza
ton down the unwilling Threats of the
Ugandese, the Patagonians and the wild
men of Bopeo. They are happy, in
way, and contented to live out their
lives till old aye or boa constructor
gets the better OF them.

NELSON'S INAUGURAL.

The message is an admirable docu-
ment, and is Indicative Of an admins
tration for and in behalf of every citi-
zen, irrespective of class. There is no
doubt Gov. Nelson will fully realize the
most Sanguine expectations of his
warmest frlends.-Sauk Center Herald.
On the whole, the governor has made
a good beginning. His recommends
tons are well put and sound. and
should receive careful consideration.
Minnesota mas been very fortunate in
the choice of her past governors, and
seems equally fortunate in the selec-
ton of him who has just taken charge
of the affairs of the state.-Mankato

Speaker Lee introduced Mr.. Nelson,
who read his inaugural address, which
showed that the writer was cogniZant
OF the affairs of the state, knows the
wants, and made numerous suggestions
which are practical and right TO the
point. Mr.. Nelson did not overlook his
farmer friends, and under his watchful
care there is 10 doubt but that class
will be pretty certain TO secure their
rights if it is i'll his power. Gov. Mel
son lays no claim to being an orator, but
his strong point is good, common sense.
In this he has always shown strength,
and that's one reason why he was Sc
lected to preside over our state.-Shll-

GOV. NELSON AND THE GRAIN
PROBLEM

Gov. NELSON in his inaugural prop
erly devotes a good deal of space to a
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 al. 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, aud 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 Sin obedience to popular
demand" for a 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 on 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
mittad by the attempt to provide any
remedy, the legislature passed the act
of IS, 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 To-
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,
if 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 49,.
There may have been a demand for il.
but it was not a popular one. 1t is well
to have this point made clear, because
his recommendations are predicated
on it,.

SEIZED WOODS PASS.

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 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 identify
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, ''if
that was Senator Wood why did he pay
his fare rather than comply with rea-
sonabie request, and if it was not him
who was it?''
A gentleman we'll acquainted with
Senator Wood was in the city dag
or two ago aud explained this incident.

Senator WoDd OF bis son to a man who
is now an officer OF the senate, and that
it was used by him. Evidently this was

junction. where new conductor was
encountered. who took up the pass.
