Of McKinley's way. and some chose to re-
gard 1t as belittling OF Mr.. Reeds claims
and qualifications for the first place on
the ticket. Nothing was further from our
intention The nomination was made in
good faith. and We take occasion TO re-
new II in the same spirit now that Major
Mckinley's success at ST. Louis is beyond
all doubt. The fact that Mr.. Reed is
worthy in all respects to iill the presi-
dental chair is one reason why We urge
his nomination for vice-preSident. There
Is no brainier man In public life. He ILLS
the measure OF statesmanship. His prin-
he Is courageous In the highest degree he
has been faithful to every trust. His
bearing in this canvass while speaker of
the house has been such as to command
the respect and admiration OF the peo-
pie.
II is high time TO restore the vice-presi-
dency 10 the old standard. An office which
Thomas Jefferson, John {. Calhoun, Mar
tin Van Buren,. John &. Breckenridge. Han.
nibal Hamlin, Henry Wilson, Chester \.
Arthur and Levi 7: Morton is big enough
enough to I'LL 1t. Too often, however, II
has been made an afterthought, to be given
without mature consideration at the last
moment as sop for disappointed fac
tion or to the highest bidder in contribu-
tons for the campaign fund. No thanks
to anybody if these afterthoughts have in
some cases resulted in judcious seleC-
tons. With the question of the presidency
settled d-siX weeks before the meeting of the
national convention, the Republican party
may give the vice-prcsidency the atten-
tion which 1t deserves, but seldom re-
ceives. Such delberation can only
strengthen the conviction that MIR. Reed
is the man for the place.
Another consideration Is that Mr.. Reed,
above all other men, Is needed as n pres
siding officer of the senate. AS speaker
OF the house of representatives his genius,
common sense and courage rectiiied par
hGmentary abuses of u century's growth.
He cut the Gordian knot of legislative
inaction. He fairly made the members
OF the house attend to their business and
tied them to discharge of duty by rules
which have now almost the force of law.
The senate. with the advent of the Tilt
mans and the Pettigrews has drifted into
methods of debate which have attained
the proportions of national scandal.
On the other hand, 1t is encrusted with
traditions which make the revolution of
the wheels Of legislation almost i'm
possible. Reeds common sense is needed
to ubricate the machinery by doing away
alike with the rust of the old senators and
the rawness Of the new. No ordinary man
is equal to this work. Here is a man made
for the purpose.
But will Mr.. Reed accept" Why not"
When has he ever shirked public duty?
Let the nomination be given him, not in
ton prize. but with ethusiasm, with una
nmity. Thus rendered, vice-presdential
nomination Is an honor and leads to
sphere of public usefulness which any
man might be proud to accept.
Mckinley and Reed. That is the ticket.

Trouble Concerning Passports.

1t appears that the officials Of Wur-
temberg have relapscd into the bad
German habit of questioning the valid
ity Of American passports. The United
States has uniformly insisted that its
passports shall be deemed prina facie
evidence OF lawful citizenship. But the
smart authorities of this German city
prefer to follow their own intuitions
ON this point, and the result is that our
state department has had to call them
down. The affair has not yet reached
q conclusion, the imperial foreign office
at Berlin having manifested disposi-
tion to confirm the Wurtemberg Offend
er5 in their large couCeit. But that 1t
will work out amicably and to the en-
tire satisfaction of this government can
contemptuous but nevertheless eXas-
perating opinion prevalent throughout
Germany touching America aud Ameri-
cans.
II is possible that we ourselves are
indirectly 10 blame Tor this rullling in
Cident. The language employed on the
American passport blank Is such as to
invite contemptuouS treatment from
foreigners swelled with brief authority.
We say in effect: This Is to certify
that - - is a citizen of the
United States, ana as such the Ameri-
can government requests that he re-
ceire from other governments the
privileges usually accorded to the citi-
zens of friendly power" etc. But the
British, both wiser and more decisive,
in their passports insert, after the
word requests" the words land re-
quires", and the pledge thus given is
kept to the letter Thus while the Of
!cious petty authorities of Europe have
Il chronic habit of indicating a highly
developed sense of their great import
ance when they peruse an American
passport, their air changes instructive
iy into one of marked Difference before
the august seal of Great Britain.
This year many thousands of our fel-
low-citizens will travel in Europe. We

We may suggest that while European
travel is informing. there are portions
of America of which the same can also
be said. But so long as this tide of
Yankee tourists annually ebbs and
flows across the Atlantic it is from
every standpoint desirable that those
who 60 armed with the official pass
ports of the United States government
shall be protected while abroad from
needless annoyance and that the seal
which is stamped on their credentials
of citizenship shall, in foreign cities, be
vouchsafed common courtesy and re-
spect If fine delicacy of diplomatic in
timations shall not suffice to secure
these desirable considerations. then 1t
might behoove our department of state
to destroy its old passport form and
initiate in new form the more robust
phraseology of the United Kingdom.

This forbearance on the part of the
White Mahatma' is unquestionably
kind but it occurs to us at the moment
that Mrs. Baldwin really owes it to So
ciety to attach herself in a confidential
capacity to the courts of justice, SO
that, in murder trials after the jury has
rendered decision, she might be able
to inform the presiding judge whether
the condemned man Is innocent or
guilty. This would save our courts
from the disagreeable necessity of TAX
ing, every now and then, an innocent
life, as consequence of the habit of

Cleveland's devotion to civil service re-

when we consider how long period

For the Cure of piles.

in the light of modern medical research

on this point kindly read the following

the facts.

conference.-the Pyramid Pile Cure has
done so much good for me that L will
say for the benefit of others that after
using only two days I am better than
1 have been for months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by The Pyramid Drug Co. of Albion,
Mich, and it is truly wonderful rem
edy for all forms Of piles. SO great
has been the number Of testimonial
letters received by them from ali parts
of the country that they have decided
to publish each week a number of such
letters and never use the same letter
twice, but only fresh letters will be
published.
All druggists recommend the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, as they know from what
their customers say that no remedy
gives such general satisfaction.

Chairman Rosing, of the Democratic
State Central committee, returned to
st. Paul yesterday and began to go
over the correspondence relating to
the state election that has accumulated
during his absence. The information
will be carefully compiled by Secretary
Pope, and when it has been considered,
the question of whether the election of
Gov. Clough will be contested or not
will be determined Chairman Rosing
has received a good deal of information
from different counties in the state
which leads him to think that recount
of the ballot would reduce Gov
Clough's majority and possibly show
that John Lind has received the major
ity of votes. Letters from election
judges tell of ballots having been
thrown out because the vote on the
presidential electors was Irregular
How much difference this would make
cannot be told unless the ballot boxes
were opened and the ballots counted.
A great number of offers of funds to
assist in a contest have come in. The
managers of the late campaign will be
in no hurry about making a decision
as the law allows twenty or thirty days
to file notice after the official count of
the state, which will not be made until
some time next month.
L. B. Scott, the legisla tive represent
atiVe from the Seventh district, is the
first of the successful candidates in the
recent election to file his expense ac-
count with the county auditor Mr..
Scotts compliance with the law yester-
day showed an expenditure of $3.50. Mr..
Scott had no opposition and was thus
relieved of some expense. The above
was his contribution to the campaign
fund.
