and the party which avows that
policy and defends it will meet the
same fate that it did in 1892,
at the hands of people
weary of excessive taxation
for the upbuilding of monopo1ies
and trusts With a reduced tariff in
effect, and all industries prospering
under it as they have not done be-
fore for years, it may we'll be that
Republican consideration of this
issue would prefer to be limited by a
month or six weeks.
The truth is that the actual cam
paign in the United States every
presidential year is not determined
in length by the action of parties or
the decisions of committees. 1t
is carried on through the press. It
begins in advance of conventions,
and pays less attention to them
every Quadrennial term. The people
think, the people talk, the people
write to the papers and are inter-
viewed and declare themselves as to
men and measures. They do not
have to wait for the naming of a
ticket and the framing of platform.
They begin their campaign about a
year beforehand; and they would
carry it forward with equal interest
meet until a week before the cleo
ton. So our Republican friends may
as we'll make up their minds to face
the music. They should be convinced
of it by seeing that, at this distance
from the great event Of 1896, they are
already on the defensive. There is
not one of their organs which is not
busted with attempting to explain
why it is that their arguments Of
year ago are overthrown; how it is
that the prosperity which they de-
clared had hidden us farewell for
ever unless Republican protection
should be restored, smiles SO sweetly
upon a Democratic administration
of Democratic policies more or less
completely realized in action. The
campaign is on. Nor will it let up
until the counting of the ballots next
November. Every year our people
grow less inclined to act like a herd
of cattle; to wait until an alarm is
given, and then rush violently and
blindly after their leaders. The
American system is good enough for
them, if you please. We are sorry
for our Republican friends, for there
are to be great many rounds in
this fight, and already they are bad
ly winded. But they may as well
come up to the scratch with faces
as smiling as they can make them.
Much as they would like a short cam
paign, with lots of hurrah and lit
tie studying of issues, the people of
the nation will not accommodate
them.

A CURIOUS OUTBREAK.

Occasionally disease which has
become so infrequent that people
have ceased to believe in it's exist
ence breaks out in some unexpected
quarter with all the virulence of an
epidemic. Nobody knows where the
germs came from, or what malign
influence warmed them into evil ac-
tivity. All that is to be done is to
stamp them out. That is the sort
of thing that has happened at Oma-
ha, in a revival there of the political
disease known as A. P. Aism. We
had supposed that this was entirely
extinct, except in certain quarters
of New England, which have lately
felt its ravages. But it had in the
West a life so short and so far from
merry that nobody in this section
expected ever to hear of it again.
1t is, therefore, something of sur
prise to find that the warfare be-
tween the members of the A. P. A.
and their opponents in Omaha has
been assuming serious proportions.
The former have made an attempt

WHITE HOUSE IMPROVEMENT.
Freshening 1t Up With Paint and
New Furnishings.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Numerous
changes are now in progress at the
White house, and if Miss Marion Cleve-
land is not pleased with the appear
ance of things when, like ''Daffy-down-
dilly,' she comes up to town." she
will be a very critical young woman
indeed. Arrangements are being eff
fected to add to the attractiveness of
the mansion every day. Fresh white
paint coats the portico and the in
terror of the building, and the usual
yearly touches of sienna tint overlay
the base of the pillars and other por-
tions needing its protection. Only re-
arranging and busting will prepare
the presidential portion of the mansion,
however, no appropriation having
been made for the greater improve
ments. The east room, always so i'm
pressive to strangers who come to see
the sights of Washington, is to have
new carpets and curtains, and gold
colored satin brocade will take the
place of the present furniture covering.
In the state dining room there will be
no changes, though many are needed.
In the green room the curtains and
carpets will be taken away and fresh
duplicates hung and laid. A great adj
vantage to guests of President and
Mrs. Cleveland who wish to leave the
very crowded receptions before these
functions are concluded will be af-
forded by the doorway lately cut be-
tween the red room and the blue room.
This will allow those specially invited
to make their way to their wraps and
depart free from the usual crushing
process.

THAT ARBITRATIoN BOARD.

The G o b e has already called at
tention to the default in the mat
ter of appointing board of arbitra-
ton and Cancellation as provided for
by statute at the last session of the
legislature. The law may work out
we'll or i'll in practice; but it should
be executed according to its terms.
And there is especial promise Of sue
cess in that feature of it which looks
toward Cancellation as method Of
preventing disputes, and thus re-
moving the cause and the necessity
Of strikes. We give this morning
the reasons offered by the executive
of the state for the apparent lapse Of
this legislation, directed to a pur-
pose so beneficent. The board is to
consist of three members; one chosen
from persons recommended by the
trades and labor unions of the states,
one taken from the employers of
labor, and the third selected by these
not acted because the representa-
tives of labor have not as yet desig-
mated any person to serve for them
on the commission.
The excuse offered does not seem
to us to be sufficient. There is moth
| ing in the law itself, and nothing
in the nature of things, which would
require the labor representative on
| this tribunal to be selected first.
The representative of employers, who
| is to be chosen by the governor at
his discretion, may be named at any
time. No doubt, had this been done
within the thirty days prescribed
after the passage Of the law, and
had the labor orders been advised
by this action that the governor
was waiting on them before he could
proceed further, the board would
| have been made complete long before
this. There is no reason why the
| governor should wait another day
before naming one member of the
commission. 1t is, of course, the
duty of organized labor in the state
to put forward representatives sat
| isfactory to it, to give material for
a choice. Now that it's attention has
been drawn to the matter, it will
probably act with promptness. But
there should be no more delay in
any quarter. If the law shall prove
satisfactory in effect, it cannot be
put in operation too soon. Whatever
it's practical bearings, it should be
complied with at once. In the mean
time, while the labor orders are con-
1 ferring, the governor can hasten
matters by proceeding to make the
second appointment.
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-08-03

to take charge of the fire and police
departments. There is emphatic re-
sistance to this, and the mayor has
found it necessary to issue a procla-
nation warning the people against
disorder
All this has an ancient and un-
familiar flavor. There is not likely
really to be any serious trouble, or
anything more than lot of in
f1ammatory talk. But the singular
part is that in a city as progressive
and up-to-date as Omaha the 4. P.
a. movement should still have power
to create so much disturbance. Ev-
erywhere else it was but a brief flash
in the pan. Even those who favored
it secretly We're shy of open cham
pionship, and excitement over it SUBJ
sided as rapidly as it arose. The
man who should propose today in
most communities to revive the A.
P. a. movement would be regarded
with mild and pitying astonishment
So this Omaha outbreak must be a
sporadic case. Some A. P. a. germs
We're probably deposited there a few
years ago, and remained latent un-
til favoring circumstances devel-
oped them. They are now raising
all this rumpus in a quiet and or
derly city. We advise the
people of Omaha to take effective
measures at once for dealing with
the disease. 1t is not dangerous,
but it makes the patient uncom-
Portable while it lasts.

DowLING is DISAPPOINTED.
Republican League Funds Are Nil
and He Doesn't Like IT.

NJ. J. Bowling, secretary of the Ma
tional League of Republican clubs, ar
rived from the East yesterday morning
and is stopping at the Windsor. From
what he has to say of his experience in
his effort to raise money for the or
ganizatfon of which he is secretary, it
would appear that holding Office in the
league is an expensive luxury MIR
Downing has Travelled far and wide in
behalf of the cause and has talked in
season and out of season Of the "out-
posts" and the ''ramparts," and all
that which the league were to capture
from the enemy as soon as the sinews
OF war were forthcoming: but the
brethren have been so deaf in that ear
and have kept their pocketbooks shut
to such extent that the secretary
threatens to quit his job, lock the office
door and lose the key. He says the
league is $4,000 behind, that he has
been spending his own money in its
behalf, but that he don't care to waste
all his substance on such an unappre-
c1ative crowd. If the brethren in Min
nesota don't put up the $1,000 they are
assessed, and do it suddenly, there will
be a vacancy in the secretary's office.

ARE THEY FICTITIOUS:
Names Attached to Complaints
Not Found in the Directory.

The joint committee on garbage met
yesterday afternoon TO consider the
complaint of A. F. Hartman against
the Capital City Garbage company. and
brought to its attention by Health
Commissioner Stone.
After reading and discussing Mr..
Hartman'S complaint the committee
not worthy of further attention. The
complaint is a typewritten document
even to the signature of Mr.. Hartman.
Neither the residence nor the business
address of the complainant appears at
the beginning nor end of the CON-
plaint, nor in the body of it. Further
more. the ST. Paul directory does not
contain such a name as "A. +. Hart
man." The complaint alleges that the
garbage company is not performing its
does not take the garbage ten miles
out of the city, but dumps it within
the city limits, and that it does not
wash it's barrels.
complaint-this one in manuscript form
which was turned over to him by Dr..
Stone, who had previously received it
from Comptroller McCardy to whom
typewriter the latter complaint was
suspiciously similar to the Hartman
document, so the committee thought,
inasmuch as it not only made prac-
tically the same charges, but likewise
bore the signature of a man whose
name, as he wrote it, cannot be found
in the city directory. The name signed
is E. G. Mirtz Mr.. Mirtz like Mr..
Hartman also omitted to include his
address.
The committee concluded to take NO
action beyond extending a public in
Ritation to Messrs. A. F. Hartman
: and E. G. Mirtz, if two such gentle
men exist in st. Paul, to come in ana
%1a1t,. Nlsar hos
can. Otherwise the committee would
look upon the documents as mere
Matchmaking devices.
| DR.. Stone called the committees at
Capital City Garbage company, which
states that the company made over
, 1900 visits during the month of July,
which with the seventeen teams em-
ployed, would mean 157 visits per team
per day for the entire number Of work
ing days in the month.
Dr. Stone wanted to know whether
he ought to approve the monthly bill
of the garbage company when he was
morally certain that the report was in
made as many visits as was sworn to
in the report. If his action in approv>
ing the bill was regarded as merely
perfunctory or ministerial, then he had
no objection to approving the bill, but
if he was to be held responsible for
approving the bill, then he would re-
fuse to do so.
Chairman Johnson gave it as his
opinion that DR.. Stone might justly as
sumo that the report as sworn to was
correct. AS to the monthly bill, which
was always a stated proportion of the
sum named in the contract for the
year, Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Robb both
thought that DR.. Stone should ap-
prove such bill.
DR.. Stone remarked in this connec-
ton that he felt sure the Capital City
Garbage company was losing money
on it's SO coo contract, as it could not
perform the work required by that con>
tract for less than $35, 600 a year.
Hereafter the garbage contractor
will collect the garbage at the market
house.

that the legal points involved in the
case are very important. The question

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. = The
withdrawal today of $780, 900 in gold
from the subtreasury in New York
is not regarded by treasury officials
as cause for uneasiness. Since Feb
ruary last the bond syndicate, it is
said, has fully demonstrated its abil-
ity to protect the gold reserve from
any serious encroachments,a and it is
not doubted that today's withdraw
ais could have been prevented had
such course been deemed
at all necessary to save an
impairment of the public con-
fidence So far as is known here,
there are no indications of further
Withdrawals, but, even should they
continue for a short time. the treas
ury officials say they would not feel
disturbed in consequence. They ar
que that the autumn shipments to
Europe of grain and other farm
products are certain to set in late
in the present month and continue
through November, with the result
that the gold movement will be to-
ward the United States.
