THE TORRENS ACT UNCONSTITU-
TIONAL.

The supreme court of Illinois holds
rens act to be unconstitutional. This
is the act passed over strenuou oppo-
sition from real estate lawyers and alb
stract men in that state, having for it's
purpose the simpliication of land titles.
reducing them almost to the simplicity
Of transfers Of personality. Naturally
it was bitterly opposed by owners Of
abstracts Of title whose business it
destroyed, and of those lawyers who
find their profit in litigation Of real es-
tate titles. They succeeded in defeat
ing the bill in one legislature, but the
succeeding one passed it and it went
into operation. We have commented
upon the ease, rapidity and satisfac-
ton of the new method and the great
advantage it brought to all realty own
ers.
The court did not declare the princi-
pie of the act void as violating the con-
stitution, but, with that jealousy with
which courts have ever regarded any
attempt Of legislatures to give to other
officers judicial or q~uasi-judicial func-
lions, this court finds that the provi-
sion of the law that made the re-
corder judge Of the suficiency Of the
title sought to be quieted bestowed
upon his Office judicial powers which
the constitution lodged solely in
courts. 1t is a pity that this narrow
view should prevail and thus delay the
installation of so just and necessary
a reform as Is this one, but the OBJ
lection is easily obviated by trans
ferring to a court the proceedings,
making, possibly, the recorder a statu-
tory referee to take testimony and re-
port it to the court. The Torrens sys-
TEN of titles, like the Australian bal
lot, has emigrated here to become
naturalized and stay, and interested
parties might as well make up their
minds to accept 1t with whatever
grace they may command.

One artist portrays the picture in q
style worthy of our own political car
toonists in papers devoted to McKin-
leyism, and editors discuss the invasion
in terms indicating alarm.
1t is a much more serious matter
with Englishmen than with US when
foreigners begin to displace the native
in the crews of battleships. With us
a navy is but an ornamental append
age of the nation, worn because it yet
remains the fashion of nations to main
tain these expensive establishments.
We have no foreign entanglements
and alliances, offensive and defensive,
that require constant readiness for
war, nor have we dependencies all
around the globe to be defended when
hostilities break out. England is en-
meshed in continental policies, envi-
roned by Evolutionary hatreds that are
liable any moment to burst into the
ruddy fam Of war, and there is real
ground for apprehension of the fate Of
English navies when manned by men
owing allegiance to governments with
whose warships battle is being waged.
Mr.. Reed truly stated the cause that
operated to send our tars ashore and
is displacing those of England. 1t is
the inexorable force Of competition
against which legislators vainIy strive.
We are likely to nave our sentiments
appealed to again to aid efforts to re-
store our merchant marine and our
Yankee tars. Congress will be asked
to carry u the promise of the ST.
Louis platform to our ship
builders by making an additional tar
iff charge on goods brought in foreign
bottoms, and Jack will be made to do
the pathetic parts. But, as usual, the
shipmaster will take the benefits OF
the tariff to himself and hire his sailors
in the cheapest market, while the great
patient, dull-witted public will pay the
additional burdens laid upon imports.

THE VANISHING JACK TAR.

The American sailor long since aban-
doned the high seas. The men who
manned the %privateers that helped u
little navy save the nations honor from
the disgrace heaped on it by the arnly
in the war Of 1872 have no successors.
One read with surprised chagrin the
names of the sailors of our man-of-war
to whom Chile made r%eparation for the
assaults Of her citizens in Valparaiso
and found no native name among them.
the crews of our battleships today are
composed almost exclusively of for
eigners. The shippers and men who
manned u famous clipper ships that
1oated the flag in every harbor open
to commerce before the war Of the re-
bellion have given way to men who
owe no allegiance to the stars and
stripes. Navigation avs and protec-
tive tariffs have taken from US that
source Of pride and profit. Tom Reed,
replying to this charge q few years
ago, jauntily dismissed it with the re-
mark that our jack tars had taken to
the land, for no Yankee would work
for a dollar a day on ship when he
could make two as a land lubber.
We have mourned the departure Of
our merchant marine and the disap-
p~earance of our gallant tars, and made
John Bull the target Of our charges Of
responsibility for 1t. English ships
manned by English sailors we have
supposed had taken the place Of our
clippers and American sailors. So 1t
is with surprise we read in English
papers laments of the waning of the
English sailor, his disappearance before
the German, the Italian, the Portuguese
and the Norwegian. One account tells
pathetically of idle English sailors sit
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-15

St. Paul is going to have another
winter carnival this year and still an
other every other gyear, until the
earth's axis changes it's inclination so
as to bring back a torrid age to Min
nesota again. The idea of the winter
carnival and a season Of outdoor sports
survives and grows Stronger the great
er the opposition with which it meets.
1t lives because you ant kill it; be-
cause the people want the carnival and
are bound to have it., and because it is
a good thing all round that their wish
es hould be carried out. Last winter
the carnival season was inaugurated
and carried through by a small num-
Der of persons by virtue of the popular
enthusiasm behind it. 1t did not wait
for or depend upon the approval of
any set Of individuals, but just went
ahead through it's popular momentum.
Anybody who went out to the carni-
val grounds last winter must have been
convinced that it was the people them
selves who had taken hold Of this
thing and who were getting enjoyment
out Of it. The hundreds of merry
makers who were out night after
night, having the best possible time,
proved in their own persons the pop
ularity Of the carnival. 1t was not
necessary for their purposes that it
hould take on the aspect of a society
function, or that the whole city should
be turned upside down for a few
weeks, as it was in the days Of our
first ice palace. The carniva has set
tied down to a regular and really nee
essary feature of our regular winter
life, and we do not believe that it will
ever again be abandoned. 1t is a splen-
did thing to break the tedium of the
long winter, and to give occasion for
those out Of door amusements that are
so beneficial to health and SO appro-
pirate to our winter climate.
The arrangements for the carnival
have begun earlier than usual this sea-
son, and they will be planned on a
scale to attract greater attention and
to delight a larger number Of people
than ever. Indeed, We may regard the
winter of 1867 as the opening Of the
permanent carnival season, and we
wish it all possible success. Every citi-
zen of st. Paul ought to take hold and
to give what help he can in all direc-
lions to an enterprise that means so
much physically, mentally and indus
to the carnival. It's success is assured,
but we ought to make it as striking
as possible.

A DISTINGUISHED MINNEsoTAN.

Inc current gossip of the political
world ends especial interest to the
sketch which we publish this morning
of United States Senator c. K. Davis.
Fol- it is very generally ssumed that
he will be selected by President-elect
Mckinley as a member Of his official
FAMILY, and the suggestion meets with
cordial and instantaneous approval
both within and without the state Of
Minnesota. Indeed, Senator Davis
great popularity with the members of
his own party in this state is no more
marked than the earnestness with
which leading Republicans the country
over, remembering his courage and his
achievements in party crises in the
past, and the graciousness of his atti-
u toward Mr.. Mckinley himself, are
urging his appointment as secretary
Of ate.
Mr.. Mckinley was not our candidate
for president. He received no support
from the o e, and his choice of a
cabinet will not and ought MOTTO be
affected by the opinions of his political
opponents. Nevertheless a Democrat
may be permitted to hope that an ad-
ministration which is to guide the for
tunes of the country, including all par
ties, for four years to come, will choose
only the most competent and the safest
advisers; inc a citizen of Minnesota
would be less than loyal to his state
were he not to be gratified at honor
conferred upon her through the act of
the president of the nation. no matter
Wha his political caste may be. There
fore it is a great pleasure to know
that, in comforting the high dignities
which are soon to be bestowed, there
is more h a a fair chance that the
lot of fortune will fall to the share Of
Senator c. K. Davis, of Minnesota.
Since the party which Senator Davis
represents has been elevated to power
in the nation, we could wish for it the
wisdom, judgment Of men and large
ness of view that would surround it
with men like him. The political poll
O-CD 49, $1,000 SAA0AS 1(oN 10 CAlCNS
are mostly irreconcilably opposed to
those which the Globe holds dear.
But since those policies are for the mo-
ment in the ascendant, 1t will be for
the good fortune of us all if men should
be named to administer them who are
worthy of national distinction and
whose claims rest solely upon their ma
tive merit. Minnesota has no ADLER
man han Senator Davis. She has no
Republican in public life who is closer
to the people. She has none who has
laid, by the study Of a lifetime and the
experience of years Of public service,
a foundation so broad and strong for
national distinction. The man, as a
man, is virile, loyal, strong Of mind
and truerof heart. Speaking for neither
Democrats nor Republicans. but for
Minnesota citizenship, we believe we
voice its opinion accurately when we
say that Mr.. Mckinley cannot do bet
ter for the mighty national and inter
national interests hat will hang upon
the administration of the state depart
ment during the next four years thar
to conide them to the keeping Of the
senior senator from Minnesota.

each other. Either Great Britain or
the United States is a match for the
greatest power in the world. Neither
of them, we believe, trembles before
the other. If they were to come to-
gether in the clash of combat, 1t would
be the most frightful struggle ever
known. Not fear, but the gracious
courage of conscious power has
brought these people to clasp hands
before the world and say that, as far
as their action and their example is
concerned, wal shall perish from the
earth.
1t will not be easy for any other ma
ton to defy the common sentiment en-
bodied in this argument. For a little
time after the principal nations united
to suppress piracy it was secretly en-
couraged by a few. o a little time
after a similar prohibition of the slave
trade, there were governments so lost
to shame that they -countenanced the
prosecution of it by their subjects. But
not for long. No government, any
more than an individual, can long per-
sist in a course of conduct that is rep
rotated and stamped as the mark of
a low civilization by all of it's asso-
ciates. The higher standard pulls the
others UP with it. We believe hat a
war between two of the European
powers, although still possible, is i'm
mensely more difficult and more I'M
likely today, because all the rest of
the world woul cry, for shame. Why
his expenditure of precious lives? Why
his sacrifice of blood and treasure,
when the peoples in whom resides the
worlds spirit have pointed out to you
the way in which to avoid this costly
themselves to it's conditions? The
English race has led the world in vaIor
and in enterprise. 1t has taught the
world how to produce wealth, how to
subdue the wilderness, how to pene-
trate the secret s~torehouses of nature,
how to strive for human liberty; how
to idealize those conceptions of vaIor
and truth in man and virtue in woman
that have always beckoned on the hu-
man race.
Now it leads them to another height.
1t foretells the time when war shall
be as unimaginable a thing as it is
now for a European power to follow
the example Of King MeneIek, by cut
ting off the right hand and right foot
of every prisoner taken in battle. We
have blazed the path. We stand up
in the van in the eyes of all the world
and say that, as far as our example
and our practice is concerned, war is
at an end, and in the place of the
blood smirched deity of the past sits
the high tribunal of arbitration.
charged with the doing of justice and
the maintenance of peace. 1t is
for this generation to live in one of
the great epochs that divide human his
tory. The era of arbitration has come.
1t is for us to be both glad and proud
of the share that this nation has had
in it's birth and growth to the full
stature Of victorious manhood.

A SENTIMENTAL EPISODE.

What an evanescent thing sentiment
is is graphically shown in the story OF
the Columbian liberty bell. What a
spasm Of fine sentiment went over the
land when it was suggested to repro
duce old Liberty Bell in a fac-simile
to be made up of voluntary contribu-
lions of bronze outc,of which to cast
it. Special Liberty Bell days were in
a%ugurated in the schools, when the
story Of the old bell was to be told to
the pupils, and how it rang out its
proclamation to all the nations Of the
world that here on this Western CONT
nent a new nation was born dedicated
to freedom And the children were to
gathered and Sent in to the commit
tee appointed to take charge Of the
patriotic movement. And the little
souls glowed with patriotism, and the
pennies rolled in and the bell was cast.
just like the old one, legend, cracks
and all.
And the spasm passed off. But the
bell was cast amid much eclat, and
then silence brooded oyer it, save when
it made its brief journey to the At
lanta exposition. Where it was, what
became of it, no 9lohe IIknew or seemed
to care to know. z Nine tons Of pennies
were resting somewhere in a dupli-
Gated Liberty Bell Now comes the

forgotten, except by some anxious
creditors who had newer been paid for
the work they did upon it. The other
day a Baltimore firm, 0who cast it and
had not been paid the $1,000 due for
their work, attached it, and a sheriff's
officer took a six-horse truck and went
out to the barn, brushed the dust off
the bell, loaded it up and dragged it
into Chicago to be shipped to it's cred
itors, who hope to recove something
by putting it on exhibition. So ends an
other sentimental episode.

THE BALLOT AND THE BATH.

The wicked New York papers may,
Of course, only be making fun Of the
star crank state when they aver that
the possession of a bath tub is a seri-
Gus stain on the character of an as
pirant for political honors in Kansas,
and that, next to goodness, cleanliness
is the attribute most to be Stunned by
those who desire preferment in hat
commonwealth. Still, there seem to
be more solid grounds for their asper-
sionso on the personal habits of Kansas
statesmen. During the late campaign,
when a speaker from the East arrived
in n of the larger towns of the state.
his first step was to demand a bath.
instead Of going out to shake hands
with the populace. Immediately a. lot
Of dodgers were struck off calling at
tentton to this luxurious behavior on
the part Of a citizen of the effete East.
and protesting against it as an insult
to the workingman and a direct reflec-
ton upon one Simpson, that noble
statesman who never. in all his life.
had lone such a thing as to take a
bath. The whole thing was a fake, of
course, but the fact hat it actually
was received as a bona fide political
manifesto, and was discussed as such
for several hours, sufficiently indicates
the kind Of inhabitants they nave in
that Kansas town.
Chicago, with more than it's usual
foresight, is making sure that the next
generation of politicians in that civ
at a shall be acquainted with the
merits Of soap and hot water. In the
last few weeks three of the public
school buildings of that city have been
equipped with bath tubs for the use
OF the children and furnished with q
matron who supervises the weekly
scrubbing of the children, who come
chiefly, from homes where the bath is
unknown.
1t has always been held as sound
doctrine that the educational
duty of the state toward the indi-
v1dual in a republic consisted in teach
ing him those things which would as

this present that the personal appIj-
cation Of soap n water was a part
OF that duty, but in view of the pretu-
dices entertained in Kansas against
those articles, and Of the impoverished
and exhausted condition Of the state.
1T can hardly be doubted that Chicago.
as usual, is ahead and has solved the
problem Of the education Of the states

DOES TURERCULN CUREr

We have not heard much lately OF
the ~slaughtering of cattle because the
tuberculin test showed reactions that
indicated the presence Of tuberculosis.
When the incurability of the dread
disease and the large number Of VIC
Tins annually in the human family
are considered it is not surprising that
its discovery among the animals from
which we draw so large a portion of
our food caused an alarm hat devel-
oped rapidly into a craze. Thousands
of COWS nave been slaughtered on the
assumption that tuberculosis in them
was transmissib1e through the milk
and meat to persons consuming them.
The subsistence seems to indicate that
the after thought came that, If this
disease were transferable, consumption
would be far more prevalent than it is.

owners of infected cattle and to hu-

craze ragged, was to slaughter cattle

seven cows reacted. Instead of killing
them they were put into hospital, and,
