WAIVE THE POINT.

We understand that the committee
to frame a general charter law for the
cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Du-
luth is getting along quite amicably
with the exception of one point of diff
ference. 1t is said that they have &C
cepted the Bell charter as embodying
the correct general principles of local
organic act, and are simply work
ing out the details. The G l o b has
already expressed itself as believing
that no general charter act ought to be
passed at this session, but that legis-
lation should be had to make the home
rule amendment effective, so that each
city could frame a charter to suit its
particular circumstances. However, if
that wise policy is not to be pursued,
and If we are to cumber our statutes
with another general charter act, then
the only snag which the joint commit
tee has run against thus far ought to
be extracted easily. The Minneapolis
Journal says that all the main features
Of the ST. Paul charter are acceptable
with the single exception of the ap-
pointive school board. The people of
Minneapolis and also of Duluth are not
willing to put the creation of a board
of education into the hands of the
mayor. They want the members elect
ed by popular vote, although they are
willing, and some Of them even desir-
Gus, that this should be at q special
election held for the purpose
We hope, if this objection stands
in the way Of an agreement, that the
representatives of ST. Paul will waive
it without further parleying. The course
of recent events with reference to the
appointment by the mayor Of members
Of the school board shows that, as mu-
nicipal politics are now conducted.
nothing whatever is gained and some
thing may be lost by substituting the
appOintive for the elective system.
When the Bell charter was first adopt
ed an effort was made to get the school
board out of politics and to keep it out.
This reform was knocked in the head
by the political appointments of Mayor
Wright, and ever since that political in
fuences have played a more or less i'm
portant part in the choice of new mem
bers. At present the school board will
be made a purely political affair as
fast as Mayor Doran can get on with
it.
This being the case, we think that
there would be little to lose by throw
ing the membership into the common
pool, to be struggled for at the polls.
AS long as the conduct Of our schools
is to be made matter Of party poll
tics, let us go the whole length and Sc
lect the politicians whom the people
want, instead of the politicians whom
the mayor happens to want An OBJ
lection which experience has shown to
be of so little force ought not to stand
in the way Of an agreement on charter
legislation.

THE BUTCHERS ASSISTANTS.

We have to call the attention of our
Republican friends once more to the
fact that a cabinet meeting was held
at Washington on Friday last; that the
Cuban question came up, and that it
was dismissed summarily because 1.-The
present conditions of that question
were regarded as entirely satisfactory"
The present conditions of the Cuban
question are those that have prevailed
ever since there was a Cuban question
The present conditions are that the
Cuban insurgents have no recognition
from this country; that no aid of any
kind is open to them from this source;
that the United States government
maintains the most friendly relations
with Spain, and that it proposes to en-
force it's neutrality laws by the strict
est regulations necessary. This was the
status of the Cuban situation during
Mr.. Cleveland's administration, and it
Is the status which his successor has
declared that he will maintain. 1t is.
moreover, viewed by him and his cabi-
net as entirely satisfactory"
Have, then, Mr. Mckinley and his of
fetal advisers and assistants agreed to
accept for themselves the title Of "the
butchers assistants?" That is what
Republican politicians and newspapers.
with not even one honorable exception
that we can recall, have declared Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Olney to be. Because
they thought that the law of nations
was to be observed and did not usurp
the prerogative of congress by declar-
ing war, it was said that they were
equally guilty with the butcher Wey-
Ter, and that the United States was a
sharer in the infamy of his perform
ances. Because they did that, they
were declared to be the allies and as
sistants Of Spain against her unfortu-
nate colony and were denounced as un-
patriotic and un-American. This title.
therefore, butchers assistants" is not
ours but Of Republican origin; and its
application to Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.
Sherman is made, not by us. but by
house, and by the whole Republican
press Of this country.
That which is policy Of shame in
Democratic administration does not be-
come patriotic and American and glori-
Gus when it is perpetuated without
change by a Republican administrator
If condition of things brands the
United States as the tool of Spain and
the oppressOr Of Cuba while the Demo-
Gratis are in power, their successors,
who find it entirely satisfactory"
must share equally the reproach. We
do not propose that the Republican
party and its official representatives
shall escape the responsibility and the
disgrace which they prepared for them
selves by their long and vilIainous
course Of abuse Of the last administra-
ton for following the only policy open
to it, which has now become the policy
of its successor, and which those who
could find no language vile enough to
characterize two weeks ago now hug
to their bosoms and declare to be ZEN
tirely satisfactory"

IS a proper termination of a long dis

as a proper termination of a long dis
cussion.
These three business questions have
consumed innumerable sessions of the
two houses of the council and their com-
mittees, without advancing, apparently,
an inch toward final adjustment. Our
local council ought to make a strong
effort to show it's superiority over SEN
ators and legislatures by bracing up
and attending to these business ques-
tons in a businesslike spirit, and with
the common sense that suggests the
proper course in every case.

ONE VIEW OF LEGISLATURES.

When experience has riprnnd into
that wisdom that enables one to realize
that progress is a plant of very slow
growth, that in the long run the bal
ance between good and evil inclines
to the side Of the former, that no man
is wholly good nor wholly bad and that
the world is not rushing headlong to
the eternal bowwows, he is in condi-
ton to look with interest on the ses-
sions Of state legislatures and even on
those Of congress, and find in them
hopeful indications He may be willing
to admit that their continuous sessions
might not be advantageous. but he will
not join in the common sigh of relief
when they adjourn. He may have his
moments of WEAKNESS as he witnesses
some really good measure smothered
under conservatism, but they pass away
in the long view his philosophy opens
to him Of the rate of progress human
ity has made against conservatism
that often is mere stupidity.
Nowhere can one get within range Of
view so complete and accurate a rep
resentation Of the average life and
thought of a state or nation as in the
legislature Of the former or the con-
gress of the latter. The theory of re-
publics that the wisest and best are
chosen to make and administer the
laws breaks down, in practice, to the
selection of the average men in the
community. They are never Of the best
nor ever of the lowest They are an
average in honesty. in intelligence, in
requirements and in wisdom. There
are always dishonest men among them.
