SATURDAY. MAY 10. 100,
a POPULAR VICTORY.

1t is gratifying to be able to record an
apparent case of death-bed repentance
ON the part of the city council concerning
the Manhattan franchise scheme.
Some years of experience had satisfied
the G o e that its insistence on any
given line of conduct on the part of the
present city officials was sure to result
IN the contrary course being pursued and
that its continuing to oppose any given evil
was equally certain to be followed bv ner,
sistence IN that evil. The assurance once
given by Mr.. McCardy that the G lob e. $
opinions on any subject of local concern
were necessarily the product of party
political consideration seems to have hean
an accepted canon Of belief among the
republican officials. Hence this pane,

the Manhattan light undertaking. reioic.

sentiment which arose out Of it. Men
who had gone so far not only in violation
but In defiance Of clearly expressed pub
Tic sentiment could not be reasonably ex-
pected to yield at the last moment and
especially, as the last moment involved
the ending of all Official responsibility
upon the part of a number of them
But this is just what has happened and
1t is now plain that a reasonable pros-
pect is present of the pubic interest be-
ing protected against the assault OF the
public's own servants.
The temporary injunction issued in thi !
case may have no greater or other effect
than the moral influence which it has
thus far exercised. But that effect is IN
itself almost invaluable and will have
the greatest effect in producing the result

Had there been any sense of resnonsi-

Tor these extraordinary measures neither

there been the slightest expression of sin

pubic lighting which emanated from tho

been no thought entertained of issuing

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

To the Editor of. the Globe:
In attempting toSmeet the Democratic
assault upon Republican policy as the
olrect and logical cause Of these CONSOLE
cations of corporations to which the name
OF trust seems to be permanently affixed,
the republicans of Minnesota. so far as
represented by their state convention,
nave left their TANKS unguarded. The
convention declares that:
Inc republican party recognizes that
iegltlnate business. fairly capitalized and
honestly managed, has built up our in
dustTles at home and given the largest
Gta aaS ndd to labor and the highest
wages ana enabled us successfully to
compete with foreign countries in the
markets of the world
Such declaration might more fifty have
eeen made by Democratic convention
Tor it is the plain statement of a fact,
the cause of which, however, Republican
conventions have hitherto attributed to
the policy of Protection by taxation in

Trust logic is protection logic applied
internally. If competition from the ex-
terror is detrimental to our industries,
then competition from the interior is

interested can devise in the absence of
legislative power And, per contra, it is

nRnuRLEs THAT NEVER END.

The postal frauds in the city of Havana
promise to make plenty of trouble for the
administration. They have been exposed
almost on the eve of the national conven-
ton OF the administration party, and at
a time when Cuba and Cuban affairs were
about to be exploited for every dollar
of political capital the subject represent
ed. Now however, all the patriots will
be kept busily engaged for some time to
come explaining how and why it happen
ed
Worse even than this is the prospect
which opens up of having the old ques-
ton as to the exact status Of our colo
NAL possessions revived. The question
of eXradition is already insistent, and it
would not be surprising should it be made
plain that no extradition would lie, ana
that these favorite5 of Senator Hanna and
the president who were sent to Cuba as
the advanced guard Of our delightful civil
service would be allowed to retire to The
privacy of domestic life.
Attorney General Griggs is a very as
tute man. He is, the country is told, pre-
pairing proposed legislation to cover this
latest embarrassment of the imperialsts
His measure is double-headed. and is pre-
pared to meet ali the requirements of the
political situa ton, as we'll as those of the
present complication. One of the heads
shows the features of the domestic idea,
that the authority of the constitution
can extend to eur po:sessions;" the other
the colonial idea, that it cannot and does
not.
It is the attorney generals measure de-
signed to meet similar cases in our other
possessions which possesses most of what
may be termed academic interest The
press reports tell us that it provides that
the domestic extradition now in force be-
tween the various states shall be extend
ed to the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii and
Porto Rico How this can be done con-
stitutonally. or why 1t should be done at
all, In view Of the repeated assurance
which we have received that our island
ritory, into which the constitution never
extended and perhaps never may, is one
of the conundrums over which foolish
country has been pottering for now over
year
No one will deny that the American
people are deriving lots of experience
from their excursion into the domain of
colonial possession. Ii cannot, of course,
be said that the experience has thus far
proved to be profitable one in the direc-
ton of dollars and cents. Rather has
it been somewhat of an expensive luxury.
But as we are doing the work Of Provi
dence and helping to spread the blessings
of true civilization, We do not have to
stop to count the cost The Providential
idea in government in the Philippines has
been represented by rapid-firing ordnance;
in Porto Rico by the blessings of a high
tariff; In Hawaii by imported coolie labor.
and in the island Of Cuba is not unlikely
to be identified with public robbery The
prospect is not a cheering one, especially
on the eve of national election; but an
administration which has such a profound
trust In the Lord will probably suffer no
discouragement from few disagreeable
incidents of this general character.

OF 'Don'ts" Complied From Recent
Laws Passed by legislatures


Laws Passed by legislatures
New Orleans Times-Democrat
"A curious Manual OF Mustn'ts' could
be compiled from recent legislation
throughout the country, remarked a
lawyer of this. city the other day Each
state in the Union has its own queer lit
tie collection of specially prohibited acts
and usually adds a few at every session
of the legislature The consequence is
that no man alive can say just where or
how he may put his foot IN it on I'M
familiar territory. Some of the proht-
billions strike an outsider as very quaint
Here are few collected at random
In Massachusetts debt collectors mustn't
wear red hats. In Arkansas nurses
mustn't tell the secrets of patients. In
Wisconsin one mustn't make cigars in
basement In Delaware a doctor mustn't
get drunk, as his license Is revoked IN
California papers mustn't print pictures
of private individuals without their con-
sent. In Minnesota one mustn't dock
horses tails or build city fences over six
feet high. In Arizona one mustn't cuss
the flag. In Indiana minors mustn't run
elevators. In Missouri bakers mustn't
work over six days week, and in Con-
necticut bakeries mustn't be located in
cellars. In Illinois side shows mustn't
exhibit deformed people. In Florida one
mustn't fire gun from a moving train
In South Dakota hello girls mustn't blab
about phone messages they overhear. In
Pennsylvania dealers mustn't sell goods
in secondhand bottles. In North Da-
kota religious corporations mustn't own
more than 100000 worth of real estate
In New York one mustn't wear a secret
society badge If one is not a member.
In South Carolina one mustn't stamp a
palmetto tree on any bottle, and in North
Carolina one mustn't make a contract
with a trust All these prohibited things
are punishable by fine and Imprisonment
and none of the enactments are over
twelve months old. If l went back five
