BROADEN THE BASE.

There is movement in the Democ-
racy Of New York which is right and
healthful and Democratic. tits intended
to destroy utterly the machine" there,
and put in its place the control of the
party by the rank and file Of it. It in
tends to eXpel from the party that un-
democratic idea Of party control which
is derived from that concept of govern
ment which rejects as absurd the idea
that people are able to govern them
selves or direct their public affairs. It
is this which gives rise to the machine.
which. in its last analysis, is the rule of
the single boss who controls the ma
chine.
No true Democrat but will rejoice at
this movement in that boss-ridden state.
Boss rule there, as everywhere, has al
ways been attended with disaster in the
end. Its constant accompaniment is
governmental scandals. Its constant
product is individual decentralization.
We saw the work OF this machine dom
mated by its one boss when, In the
spring Of 1892, it absolutely controlled
the caucuses and primaries which chose
delegates to the state convention, which
sent delegation to Chicago determined

A CLOSE SHAVE,

Thomas Reed, of Maine, is, by virtue
of his place at the head of the Repub-
lican minority of the ways and means
committee, the leader of his party in its
contest with the Democrats for the sup
port by the voters of tariff policy. Mr..
Reed is supposed to have, with his other
abilities, that political acumen which
sees the opportunities which open to
men and parties, and whoseiseiZuresand
utilization determine largely the sue
cess of both men and parties. This he
is expected to do as the fiscal leader of
his party, and there is the additional
incentive of presidential nomination
hanging pendent before him in '96.
We are inclined to think that Mr..
Reed is somewhat overestimated as
| fit leader, or as man quick to perceive
the chances which come to him or his
party through the mistakes of the other
side. We infer that he is as blind as
Mr.. Mckinley and others prominent in
that party have recently shown them
selves to be, from the manner in which
they have met the very hating meas
ure which the Democrats have proposed
as their tariff bill, and which, in propos-
| ing, they admit is not redemption of
| the pledge Of reform which won them
| the control of the government year
| ago. MI. Mckinley was instant in his
denunciation of it. and Mr.. Reed follows
now in his official capacity as leader of
| the minority to sound the same note on
his bugle. He follows Nc Klnley's suit
| where his proper play was to lead the
ace of his own suit, if he expects to have
the honors in the Republican conven-
| ton of '96.
The Wilson bill offered Mr.. Reed and
his party an opportunity which, we
| confess. we are very glad that they did
not perceive, or, if they saw it, did not
| utilize. 1t was a chance to retrieve the
error which brought about the defeats of
go and '92 without anything more of a
| retreat than is the falling back to an
original position from skirmish line
which could not be held. Suppose that
Mr.. Reed, speaking as the fiscal repre-
sentative of his party's policy, had said
IN substance: I'm 1892 the national Re-
| publican convention, satisfied that its
Fifty-frst congress had gone too fat
in the direction of protection, declared
that its policy should be the adoption Of
tariff whose schedules should be based
on the difference IN the labor cost of the
| domestic and the foreign article.
assume that the convention meant what
| it said. l have examined the schedules
| of the bill proposed by the majority of
| our committee, and find that in every
| instance the tariff imposed largely ex-
ceeds this difference. In most instances
it exceeds the entire labor cost in
stead of the difference. l find further
that the rates are very similar to the
bill framed by our party in 1888. In fact.
1t might be mistaken for that measure.
81 therefore recommend the support 81
the Wilson bill by the minority as q
temporary measure, to be further modi.

A Girls Evening Jacket.

The laborately-trimmed and very
large sleeves have made popular the
short, sleeveless jacket, and for the same
reason there has been brought to the
front for evening wear, the long jacket
without sleeves, writes Isabel A. Mallon
in an eXquisltely illustrated article de-
scribing Evening Wraps for Girls" in
the January Ladies' Home Journal. BY
its use lace frilis are kept from being
crushed, sleeves can be pulled to the
shape they ought to be, and a greater
warmth, caused, of course, by the
closer fit, is achieved. AS it is expected
to harmonic with every gown, the
long, sleeveless jacket is usually of
black. 1t is fitted in the back and flares
out in full, umbrella fashion; is semi
loose in front, being fastened by large
hooks which are invisible. Straight
down each side of the front is appliqued
a broad brand of coffee-colored lace,
and this Is caught here and there by Jet
and gold spangles. Above the arm
holes stand high epaulettes of lace.
About the neck is square collar of
lace. With this is worn a three-cor-
nered bonnet of lace with gold butter
fly just in front, and narrow black vel.

they protest, with fear-drawn faces,
that three cents a ton will ruin them;
that they are struggling against bank

cents will push them over the verge.
The legislature adjOurns, and the tears

turn, and they hunt the investor with
the same assurances of great profits and
assured wealth. Then comes the Will

WITH THE TRAVELLERS.

Hon. M. l.. Mccormack, of Grand
Forks, said to GLOBE reporter vester-
day: The wheat crop of North Da-
kofa for 1898 amounted to forty millions
of bushels. The price received for it
will not exceed 45 cents per bushel
against % in an ordinary year. Here is
difference of eight millions of dollars
against the reasonable expectations of
our state, and represents the difference
between hard times and aff1uence. Just
think what eight millions of dollars
would do distributed among our 200, 900
people-of the debts it would pay and
the comforts it would buy. Did you
ever see such times? Plenty every
where.and yet no money in the hands of
the people with which to buy. 1t is not
because there is no money in the coun-
try. but because the things the people
have to sell are so low, or they have
nothing to sell. The issue of thou
sand millions more of currency without
means of distribution would not ease up

Judge Winchester. of Bismarck, was
at the Merchants yesterday To a
GLOBE reporter he said: Bismarck
had It's greatest years of grief from 1883
forward for few years. The business
which originally built it up passed on
and left large number of disappointed
and discouraged people. They, too,
passed oil. and IN the meantime the sur
rounding country developed, and we
have not single Inmate in the poor
house of Burleigh county today. We
do not depend upon wheat, but every
farmer divarsifes. Ten years ago we
did not raise our garden vegetables. We
shipped out wild game and shipped in
mutton chops and veal outlets; but it is
all changed now, and the farmers of
the Missouri slope are in better circum-
stances than the majority OF those in
the famous Red river valley. Burleigh
county ships cattle, horses, hogs and
corn. 1t produces its own coal and
grinds nearly all of its wheat product
into flour, and people scarcely realize
that times are hard"

AID. CULLEN made an interesting
point when the tax budget vas being
considered yesterday. A proposition
was made to reduce the allowance for
the board Of health for 1894 from $4,000
to $4,000, and i'll reply to the question
of what could be done in case of an cpl
demic, Assistant City Attorney Phillips
thought the general fund could be drawn
upon. Aid. Cullen asked why the gem
eral fund could not be drawn upon TO
suppress an epidemic of crime or fires if
those departments are short of help?
There seems to be good chance to test
the question Oh the epidemic of crime
which now exists. The cut was made
to $4,000.

A Good Scheme for Raising State
Funds.
LANSING, Mich, Dec. 26.-The lagis-
lature Of 1898 passed an amendatory act
providing for the payment of fran
chise fee by all corporations doing busi-
ness in Michigan, which applies as we'll
to those organized in other states as
here. Very few of the corporations or
gained in other states have complied
with the law by filing their articles of
Incorporation and paying the franchise
fee. BY the provisions of the act, after
Jan. l, all contracts made by such cor
porations in this state will be void, and
cannot be enforced by either party.
This will affect large number of cor
porations doing business in this state,
and will undoubtedly lead to consider
able litigation.

a FEW statistics will dispose of the
claim that Minnesota ore cannot CON-
pete at the seaboard-which it never
reaches-with Cuban ore. The recent
statement of our imports for the years
1890 to 1898, published by the treasury
for the ways and means committee,
gives our imports of ore for these years,
and their value at the port of shipment.
From this we find the price of Cuban
and other ore to be at the place of ship
ment S2.16 ton in 1890. $3.50 in 1891,
S2.47 in 1892 and S1.76 in 1898. The
freight from Cuba is S1.75 a ton. making
the value at the port of entry $3.50 ton.
1t could not move mile inland withou.
such al increased cost as would pre-
vent any competition with our own ore.

Charles Frohmau'S company, in 1.-THE

tremendous success at the Metropolitan

same company that played at the En-

months, during the run OF that play i'll

to TWO packed houses on Christmas day,
and to another large audience last night,
and the indications are that 1.-The Girl l
Left Behind Me" will play to the largest
weeks business that has been done at
the metropolitan opera house this sea-

but the usual matinee will be given on
Saturday. This play IS presented in

"In Old Kentucky" was given at the
Grand last night 10 another large au-
rdience. 1t IS beyond question the
, strongest and most meritorlous atIrac-
ton that has been seen at this theater
in a long time. Possessing an absorb
lngly interesting story, it is mounted
with all ihe splendor of great spectacu-
lar productions. The play is full of spirit
and action; there is something going
ON all the time on the stage of sufficient
Interest to hold the attention of the
spectator, from the thrilling swing of
the heroine in the first act to the ex-
citing pursuit of the moonshiner in the
last. I'm Old Kentucky" will surely
break the record at the Grand. The
ladies will receive souvenirs at the
matinee today.
