A BOOMER NC

The facts furnished to the Globe.

washington, concerning the case of
the pensioner jerry Pembroke. of ST.
Paul, which was exploited a, short
time ago in local Republican paper.
show that it was inadvisable for
anybody on that side of the fence to
open up this particular question. It
is an almost universal rule that when
complaint of injustice to a pensioner
is made, an analysis of the facts
shows not only that no injustice has
been done, but that he himself is
either responsible for the trouble
complained of, or that he has at
tempted to take advantage of the
Hberal1ty of generous people. In
this instance it happens that the Re-
publican editor has put his foot in
1t rather more seriously than usual.
He claims in both news and editorial
columns that cruel wrong was
done to Pembroke. If we take no ac-
count of the circumstances and sim
ply admit the statement that there
was wrong, then the Republican
party stands guilty of having COM
mitted it. 1t must, indeed, REQUIRE
either an extraordinary ignorance of
the facts or an unusual degree of eff
frontery to claim that the Demo-
cratic party, or any official of it, is
responsible for the treatment by Re-
cant for pension.
We wish to reiterate with emphasis
the statement of our correspondent,
based on the official records of the
pension department, that every act
complained of in the Pembroke case
was the act of a Republican commits
sioner. The pension was allowed
originally by Commissioner Van Aer-
nam. The pensioner was dropped
from the rolls in 1876 by Commission
er Bentley. If he was not entitled
to pension, the fault of allowing
it was committed under the admins
tration of the former. If he was en-
titled to pension, the cruel wrong
of cutting it off must be charged to
the latter. The second pension al
lowance, under the act of 1890, was
made by Commissioner Raum. We
have not heard of anybody who &C

ton of Crowned Heads.
Chicago Record.
Queen Sophia of Sweden, whose
-f1fty-ninth birthday has just been cele-
brated with much pomp and ceremony
at Drottningh I'm castle, Emperor Will
lam proceeding thither for the express
purpose of rendering his congratula-
tons and good wishes, is one of the
most enthusiastic friends and promo
ters of the Salvation Army, a dis
tinction which she shares with her
niece, the Queen Regent of Holland.
Both queens publicly countenance
and patronize the work of Gen Booth,
sending liberal subscriptions to his
various funds and expressing the
opinion that on religious and political
grounds it is wise to encourage a form
of worship which seems to suit the
masses and finds the way to their
hearts. Queen Victoria has as yet re-
Trained from following suit, although
it is well known that she approves of
the work accomplished by Gen. Booth.
But the Empress of Germany, and
the emperor, too, give evidence of the
most undisguised hostility to the Sal
vationists, their army having been by
imperial order subjected to annoy
ances and prosecutions by the police
This is all the more strange as the
consort of Emperor William processes
a greater degree of interest in evangel-
ical work among the masses than
any other royal lady in the old world.
Neither she nor her husband appears
to bear in mind the axiom which King
Frederick the Great used to boast was
the keystone of Hohenzollern rule
namely, that every Prussian should
Be at liberty to save his soul in the
way that suited him best.
In contrast to this nerrow-minded-
ness at Berlin we find the Salvation
Army receiving tokens of imperial
favor at st. Petersburg. Among the
most cordial responses sent by Gear
Nicholas in person to the messages,
first of coincidence. then of congratu-
lation, which he received from abroad
at the time of his fathers death and
his own marriage was one which he
addressed to Gen. Booth in London.
I suppose that unless the Salvation
Army movement declines on the death
of its founder and moving spirit Gen.
Booth, it will eventually-thanks to
royal support-become just as popular
with the rich and educated classes as
it is with the masses.

This Animal Lays Eggs.

One of the oldest of the many. queer
and unique creatures that inhabit
the. antipodean wildS is an animal
about the shape and size of the Amer
lean raccoon. He is not a curiosity on
account of his shape or size. or because
he resembles the coon and lives in
Australia, where all nature is topsy-
turvy, but because of a remarkable
habit the female of his species has of
laying eggs and Matching them after
the. manner of birds. This queer egg
laying animal, the only creature of the
Kind on earth, SO far as the biologists
know, is called a platypus 1t inhabits
the deep forests of the river bottoms Of
both Australia nand New. Zealand,
and, it is said, has many of the char
acteristics which distinguish the beav-
er tribe The platypus in not a com
mon animal even in its native haunts,
and it is yearly becoming scarcer be-
cause of the war which the natives wage
against it on account of it's peculiar
egg-laying habits. They have a super
stitious dread of the harmless little
animal, because it's habits deviate so
widely from those generally noted in
fur-coyered four-footed crea lures.

AN IGNIS FAITHS

The glimmerfng IarSh-ligft which
has led some Democrats far from the
path Of sound doctrine and of party
expediency is fairly exhibited in the
following from an editorial article in
the New Orleans Times-Democrat:
IF the experience of Mississippi be
taken as guide, firm position on sill
Yer would check these desertions to the
Populists and bring back into the Dem
ocratic camp some 10000 voters who
have wandered off in the last few
years, and who would regard a strong
silver plank as a fiag of truce and am
neSty as those in Mississippi have
done''
This is the most extraordinary po-
litical delusion that ever obtained
lodgment in the minds of otherwise
sensible men. 1t is contrary both to
the simplest logic and the plain facts
of experience everywhere. 1t is the
old argument that it is worth while
to sacrifice principle for the sake
of getting vote, with this modifica-
ton: that what the Times-Democra
proposes is for the Democratic party
to sacrifice principle without get
ting a vote. What it means by "a
firm position on silver and "a
strong silver plank" is declaration
by the Democratic party in favor of
independent free coinage by the Unit
ed States at the ratio of 16 to /.
What it says this will do is to bring
back 10000 alleged voters who have
deserted to the Populists.
There is not the slightest reason
for making this assertion. If a voter
is so carried away by the free silver
| argument that he will renounce his
Democracy and go over to the Peo-
pies party, then he is not to be
won back by any such concession.
He will return when he has found
! out that he was mistaken about the
Importance attending the free coin
age of silver. If he does not discover
that, he will remain where he is.
The Peoples party, in the first place,
| offers him just as much inducement
| in the way of free silver as any other
organization can. In addition to that,
it offers him practically unlimited
| quantities of other fiat money, whose
| issue can be proved not only justifia-
bic but necessary by exactly the
same argument that is applied to
| silver Unless, therefore, the Dem
ocratic party is prepared to go as far
| and bid as high as the Populists for
| the support of those who hold the
| fiat theory of money, it is senseless
for 1T to enter the competition. Not
one vote can it recapture Of those
| Populist recruits.
On the other side lies an clement
in the problem which the Times-Dem
! ocrat, in common with others who
argue injudiciously, leaves out of the
calculation. 1t tells us of the free
! silver Democrats who, it alleges.
would return to the fold 1t does not
mention the sound money Democrats
who will inevitably leave the party
the moment it pronounces for free
silver. We do not pretend to say
how it is in the state Of Mississippi,
but we do know that in every state
! north OF Missouri and the Ohio river
such losses would outnumber three
fold an. possible gains from the

JOINED TO IT'S IDOLS.

1t is amusing from the party point
ing from that of the practical citizen,
to consider the result of the cam
paign within the Republican party
in Pennsylvania. That state has
been for years the unquestioned pri-
vate property Of the bosses of the
Republican machine. There are no
two men in the United States who
have more undesirable political
reputation than Cameron and Quay.
They are men without principle in
politics, men who have reduced the
system of machine government 10
science, men who control the Repub-
lican party in Pennsylvania, and
through it the government of the
state, SO completely that the holding
of any election has become a
foolish form. Year by year, when
ever a state convention is to meet or
members Of "a legislature to be elect
ed, some lonesome political reformer
raises his voice in the wilderness,
girds UP his loins and starts out to
rouse the people for the overthrow
of Cameron and Quay. The discus
sion of these reform movements af-
fords to the people of Pennsylvania
about the only amusement that they
can get out of politics. The result
Of every election being foreordained,
they have to have their fun before
candidates are nominated
They have just had one Of these
paroxysms of virtue, and a strong
opposition, headed by Gov. Hastings,
has been fighting Quay in every part
of the state, with the solid support
of the reform element as far as it
exists in Pennsylvania. The results
are now summed up by the Philadel-
pl1ia Times in the statement that out
of siNty-seven counties in Pennsyl-
vania, Senator Quay will be support
ed for chairman of the state commit
tee by absolutely solid delegations
from not less than fifty and probably
fifty-four, with divided delegations
in at least five counties more. He
can count now on a majority of tine
whole convention, without Philadel-
phia or Pittsburg, while he will have
a considerable vote from these two
Cities
The Republican party Of Pennsy1-
vania is for Quay. He represents
the average political morality of that
state. The moral sense of it's people
has been lowered and almost de-
stroyed by the effect of the pro-
tective system. During the whole
lifetime Of most of it's voters, nearly
every Pennsylvania has felt that a
high tariff was a, matter of life and
death to him. He has been taught
that it was right and a part of hon
orable politics to demand that the
industries of his state be paid a profit
out of taxes wrung from the people
of all the rest of the Union. To mem
who have accepted this as political
gospel, the doctrine of Mr.. ingalls,.
that the decalogue has no place in
American politics, is the only one
true or possible. They do not dis
credit themselves, therefore, they
only express concretely their average
intelligence and morality in politics,
when they continue to select Quay as
the man whom they delight to honor.

we cannot expect to see the triumph

Then came the census outbreak.
Until that time the tender constraint
of business interest had suffieed
to keep intact the "and Mime
apolis' dual relation, for whose dis
solution the people of st. Paul had
plead in vain for years. But now
arose an issue that could not be
lodged. When the two cities were
in an uproar, and the men of each
so inffamed as to be almost ready to
go out to battle with each other,
neutrality must end. The Pioneer

people of the city in which it was
actually published and must con-
tinue to be issued. Not, however,
without conditions. The business
conduct of the institution shone lumi-
nous through the clouds of census
conflict. The value of the Pioneer
Press as an ally, the pecuniary sac
rificeS that it must make were laid
before the people, and bankers and
business men were asked to contrib
ute in subscriptions and advertising
here to make good it's losses by the
dropping of the magic land Mime
apolis," and the sweeping away Of
the simultaneous fiction. The Pho
neer Press Topped off the Minneapolis
end, and contributed thereafter from
its fund of unwisdom to the plan OF
campaign in ST. Paul, which ended
as every st. Paul man knows and as
few care to hear about now. But as
a reward of it's virtue it exacted and
received a contribution to it's bust
ness resources from ST. Paul patrons,
which was commercial equivalent
for what it relinquished in Minneap-
oils. 1t was a soldier in the cause,
but it was not in such haste to en-
list as to make it forget that soldiers
sometimes get bounties.
We take no pleasure in reviving
this closed chapter, familiar enough
to many people in st. Paul. But the
G O b e, which stands for honesty,
fair play, sanity and courtesy in the
treatment Of all questions, will per-
nit no reflection upon it's motives
without casual inquiry into the rec
ord of it's assailant. 1t will fight for
ST. Paul and her interests, when they
are concerned, against any and all
corners, to the last ditch. But it
will neither give countenance to idle
rumors tending to revive the I'M
fortunate occurrences of five years
ago, in which rumors not a hundred
people in either city have the Slight
est interest or confidence, nor will it
be moved from it's policy of fidelity
with soberness by the charge of an
interested motive. The accusation is
not one which lies in the mouth of
the Pioneer Press to make. 1.-The
begging of subscriptions and adver-
tisements in Minneapolis, as the
price of treachery to st. Paul went
out of fashion in 1890, when the only
paper ever Systematically guilty of

will not again compel any friend of

ROCKEFELLER COMPROMISES.
Settlement in the Mckinley Case

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 9.-Tbe $780,
COO suit brought by William Mckinley,
of this city, against the Lake Superior
Consolidated Iron mines, the Rookie
feiler corporation that controls the
Messaba range, has been quietly set
tied for trifie less than S200,0G0 BY
this settlement John d. Rockefeller
practically admits that his agent, Rev.
F. 7. Gates, made fraudulent repre-
sensations to Mckinley to get his mine
into the consolidation. It was sure
thing that Mckinley would win, for,
when the case was tried, in June. a
single juror was the only obstacle to
a big verdict, and the sentiment of
the public was that the plaintiff had
been defrauded. The verdict of $780,
600 for Alfred Merritt against Rookie
Teller had considerable to do with the
settlement. AS there is a feeling on
the, part of some that Gates ought
to be arrested for perjury, it is not
likely that he is anxious to TESTIFY
in Duluth again, and without him
Rockefeller would have no case at ali.

We have in Judge Lochren, now COM

of Judge Lochren's mind, and his abso-

fellow citizens for years. They have OF

a larger stage, There are few officials
under this administration to whom the
people owe more for the courageous
discharge Of duty than they do to
Judge Lochren. Mr.. Cleveland is given
