TWO STATE LIBRARIES WANT
ING BUILDINGS.

At the present time, two of our most
valuable and useful state institutions
are in the position of petitioning the
legislature to erect buildings for them.
One is the state university. the other
the state historical society. Both these
institutions are in state of prosperity,
are under successful management and
are of great usefulness to the public, by
whom they are owned. And both are
badly in need of the buildings for the
shelter of their libraries which they pc
titon for.
The oldest of these institutions is the
historical society. 1t was chartered by
the first territorial legislature in 1919,
and is therefore our oldest state inStitu-
ton. Ever since that time it has been
furnished by the state with apartments
in the state capitol, and though gener-
ally these were too small and quite I'M
suitable to the needs Of the library
work. vet the society has realized re-
markable growth and success, until
now it has accumulated Il library of over
90. 900 valuable books and much other
property, the whole reckoned at 100000
in value. Its material for the history
of the state and of its people is unap-
proach Enable. Its loss (and it may be
burned at any moment) would be ire
parable. Besides, its present rooms are
badly crowded, and quite unsuitable
for the purposes of the work required
from the society. These give the insttu
ton strong claims for the securing from
astate appropriation means sufficient to
erect a fire-proof building. built and
equipped for the special purposes of the
library. The sum necessary for this
purpose is estimated at 100000.
The state university may be referred
to in much the same terms as the first
named institution. Ii has a library
housed in apartments totally insufficient
for its demands. and inhammabIe. The
danger from this source is shown from
the fact that within few months it has
suffered severely from the flames.
Nearly 1000 students have to use this
collection of works, and the facilities
for study are totally insufficient for the

THE NEXT MINNESOTA SENA-
TOR

The Democrats of the senate and
house of the Minnesota legislature held
Il joint caucus last night at the rooms of
the state committee, and on the first
formal ballot rendered 10 Hon. D. w.
LAWYER the nomination for the posi-
ton of United States senator to succeed
Hon. G. K. DAVIS. Mr.. LAWYERS
brilliant gubernatorial canvass last fall
placed him very high in the regard and
affection of the Democracy of the state.
Young, vigorous, highly educated and
talented, he made a canvass that will
live.in the political history OF tie state,
and he we'll earned at the hands of the
party this high compliment. The Dem-
ocratic members of the Legislature have
started off we'll. With the Repub-
lIcanS split in twain on the senatorial
question, sturdy, enthusiastic, persist
ent and unanimous support by the forty
seven Democratic members of the able
young nominee to the end of the fight
may land him in the seat from which
DAVIS misrepresents the people of Min
nesota. This support is due to the adj
mirable nominee selected last night, and
this much is due to the members them
selves and to the party of the state. Let
the Republicans keep up their quarrelS;
let the Democrats give them all the am
munition they can to foment and make
tiercer their quarrels, but let them
stand loyalty and like good Democrats
by their chosen nominee. With forty
seven votes on every ballot their nomi-
inee will lead either of the Republican
candidates if that party shall divide,
and there is reason to believe that there
are Republican members who will vote
for LAwLER rather than see the oppos-
ing Republican faction triumph.

to revive interest in his theory. His
son. AMERICUs VEsPUCIUs SYMsIEs,
endeavored to fit out an Arctic eXpedi-
ton in 1876, but failed. This year a
more determined effort is to be made,
and one which will probably be
successful at least in leading
banl of foolhardy enthusiasts into
the frozen North and creating de-
mand for another relief expedition at
government expense. The design Of
these enthusiasts is expressed by A.
SYMMEs, of Louisville. KY. and who is
relative of the late Capt. SYM,IEs. as
follows: I'VE go with no other purpose
than to follow the wild animals back to
Symsonia, whence they come every
spring and return in the fall. No one
has ever followed them to their home,
but we will. Where they go we can fol-
low. and new world is to be found that
will immortaliZe the finders"
Aye, "a new world' they will doubt

much more facility and dispatch by

demand for room. The authorities have
sketched out plans for a building whose
cost may range from S150,000 to 100000.
OF course, this sum must come ont of
the state treasury.
Thus two of our most valued inStitu-
lions are now suppliants for the use of
the state funds, and their claims to aid
seem reasonable and meritorlOus. OF
course. the total amount asked for is
quite sum to provide out of the rev.
enues of the state. though it may be di-
vided in three or four annual payments.
and thus be carried along without any
serious embarrassment to the finances.
The friends of both the above institutions
are quite hopeful that their claims will
be listened to with leniency. They
argue that libraries are institutions
which it is the duty of the state to fos-
ter and support, as they aid the growth
of education, knowledge and progress,
and tend to elevate all society i'll the
scale of social advancement. The peo-
pie of the state cannot but look at the
outcome of this effort to gain the means
for a more successful work by these two
institutions with much interest, and
wish them due success.

TOTE FAIR NEIGHBOR.

Our neighbor. the Pioneer Press,
while suffering from an attack OF
paralysis on the senatorial question,
manages to keep standing at its ed
itorial head an extract from an editorial
printed in the GLOBE of Nov. %, in
which a tribute was paid to the ability
of Senator DAVIS. 1t would be much
fairer if the Pioneer Press would print
the whole article, which is as follows:
ICHABoD.
CUsHMAN K. DAVIS has had an OPP
pOrtunity during the past six years OF
his life the like of which seldom falls
to mans lot. Had he taken advantage
of it, he would today be the foremost
Republican of the country.
Senator DAVIS has great intellectual
ability. No one questions this. His at
talnments are profound and varied. In
spite of his poor voice, he is an effective
and convincing speaker. His personal
character is high, and his manner
genial and attractive. He has all the
qualities needed for a successful leader
in the arena of American politics.
Six years ago he was sent to the
United States senate as the representa-
tive of a strong Republican state. Even
the Democrats Endorsed his election as
fit and proper. He was extremely pop
ular, and was regarded as a broad
minded and conservative man, who
would have no sympathy with extreme
measures, and who would fight for the
interests of this section with courage
and indeDende
Had Senator DAVIS lived up to his
reputation, he would have made an I'M
dying name for himself in our national
history. Had he refused to bow the
knee to the MOloch OF protectionism.
and boldly opposed the enactment of
the MCKINLEY bill, he might have de-
feated that outrageous plot against our
industrial prosperity, such are his abili-
ties and his influence. An achievement
like this would have been glory enough
for one lifetime.
Had the blindness and folly of his
party been too powerful for him to ac
compiish thus much, his personal posi-
ton at this hour, if he had then been as
brave as he is learned, would be still
more conspicuous. With every Repub-
lican extremist discredited by the YER
dict of November the 8th, he would stand
before the people as the most notable
figure in the Republican ranks. 70 his
admitted mental equipment he would
have added fame for Sagacity and extra
ordinary political prescience. Minnesota
would have supported him loyalty, and
with pride. AS a senator of the United
States, backed by rich and p0pulous
commonwealth, of abilities unusual, and
noteworthy as partisan who had dared
to rise above partisanship, and the wis
dom of whose courage had been ratified
by the whole nation at the polls, he
would be the great man of his party
today. Had CUsIIAIAN X. DAVIS voted
against the MCKINLEY bill, instead of
being an agitated candidate for re-elec-
ton to his present post, his name would
be in all mems mouths as the next Re
publican nominee for the presidency
lie had an opportunity such as seldom
falls to the lot of any man, but he lost it
forever.

DEMOCRATS OFF THE TRACK.

That the Republicans in the house
and the paternallsts among the Popu-
lists should eagerly vote for the resold
ton approving the anti-option bill is no
cause for surprise. 1t is iii line with
the spirit with which these elements are
instinct. But it is cause for surprise
and regret that any Democrat should
have lent it his support. A bill that is
fraud in pretending to be a revenue
bill when its enforcement would yield
no revenue; a bill winch extends the
reach of the power Of congress into the
reserved powers Of the state; bill which
prevents lawful and beneficial indus
trial pursuit, thus invading the Inherent
right Of the citizen, is one which no
Democrat with clear perceptions of
what Democracy is can support. But,
b Id as this was, it had not the added
pitifulneSs of the action of those farmer
members who voted for bill proposed
bv the men whom they have learned by
a bitter experience to utterly distrust,
the sole object of which is to double
rivet the present grain monopoly. They
were sheep not led, but running volun-
tarily to the ShambeS.

"TOO MUCH RuSH.v

It's one of the queer turn-abOuts in
politics that Senator DAVIS owes his
electon-if he gets it at the last-to the
Democrats. The GLOBE but repeats
what is an open secret in saying that
the senator's defeat was one of the plain
incidents i'll the plan Of campaign OF
the real managers of his party. Mr..
NELSON was to be his successor. The
success of the plan depended on what
seemed probable to every Que, the bal
ance of power being held by the ALI
ance, as in '9l. These members, it was
expected, would refuse to vote for
DAVIS because of his tariff and force
bill record. The plan took in the sue
ceSsion TO WASHBURN, but that is, as
KIPLING says, another story. With the
triangular legislature certainty. the
astute managers winked at and en-
Outraged the resolutions instructing for
DAVIS as a bit OF innocuous sentiments;
blossoms which would never develop
fruit.
The Democrats made their audaciOus
assault Oil the -elevat0r-railrOad
combine. These chevalierS d. industre
knew that their safety lay in capturing
the legislature, and they put men and
money into every doubtful district with
marked success. They made the pres
ent Republican majority IN the legisia
ture. They spoiled the plans laid for
DAVIS defeat, unintentionaily, per-
haps, but none the less effectively. The
Democrats drove them to it. Senator
DAVIS is under obligations to the Demo-
Gratis for what success he may achieve
next Tuesday, for which, however, the
Democrats expect no requitals. He
owes them nothing. for they wanted to
beat him.

THE FALL OF THE sCALpER.


The Order of Railway Conductors has
two motives in the bill troduced i'll
the senate yesterday, both of which are
creditable. They wish to elevate the es-
prit du corps of their order by removing
from their fellows the temptation which
the scalper offers to appropriate tickets
belonging to the company. They would
weed out the dishonest members of their
vocation. They feel that there has been
so much POPULATION among the conduct
ors; there are so many authentic in
stances OF conductors retiring on COM
Portable fortunes after few years Of
service that it puts the honesty of every
conductor under suspicion. The other
motive is a selfish, but none the less
laudable one. When the companies dis
cover that d pass or mileage book is in
hands other than those to whom it was
issued it is blackliSted, and notices sent
out directing the conductors to take it
up when presented. There are always
large number of these notices in force,
and if conductor fails to remember the
order and accepts the tab0Oed mileage,
the company charges it to him and de-
duets it from his pay.
But this affords no reason for the pas
sage of the bill they present. The evil
can be remedied more easily and effect
lively than by a further and dangerous
extension of the power of the state in
interference with the freedom of its
citizens. 1t should never attempt the
licensing Of any business when its need
can be obviated by other means. The
GLOBE pointed out yesterday how this
can be done. Remove the conditions
which have given rise to the scalper.
Railroads now sell thousand-nlle
books for S25, with a rebate OF s., max
ing tine rate to large users two cents
mile. This is an unreasonable discrlm-
ination. The legislature has the right
and power to compel uniform two
cent rate. There is no reason why the
man who rides a hundred miles should
pay three cents a mile, while he who
rides thousand may ride for two cents.
If they can carry one man for tw 0 cents
they can carry all for the same. Make
tickets and mileage good in any ones
hands. Oblige the roads to redeem the
unused mileage or tickets. On these
abuses Of the roads the scalper exists
and thriVes. Cut them out and he will
disappear.
