IN THE n1GHr OBJECTION.

The Manhattan club of New York has
issued invitations to Democrats from all
the states and territories to meet in its
rooms Feb. %, 1902, for the purpose of
..reviving interest in the fundamental
principles upon which democratic gov
ernent was founded.
Such action is in line with-tfe policy
The G 10 b e has urged recently. No
harm can come of the earnest efforts of
Democrats to search diligently for the
ways and means of uniting the party for
the impending campaigns. Every Demo-
erat in the broad land has mind of his
own, and it is true that among them
there are great differences of opinion
on many subjects Some of these sub
iects have been held of paramount party
Importance in the past, but are not so
regarded now In the multitude of opin-
ions held by Democrats, however, there
are many doctrines which are the COM
mon heritage of the children of the faith,
and upon which all may unite for battle
against a common enemy.
There is much profit in heart-to-heart
talks, especially when all parties en-
gagged in the conversation are animated
by a sincere desire to effect the reunion
of the historic Democratic party for the
campaign to be waged next fall The
result of such talks will not be entire ac-
cord, but it will be the finding of much
common ground
The Globe believes much encour-
agement will come to the Democratic
party of the nation from the conference
called by the Manhattan club on Wash
ington's birthday. Of this it is certain
no harm can come of it. The Outcome
should be watched carefully, and T h e
Glo.b believes it will be an example
worthy of initial ion.-

CHANGES r1E POLITICAL Status

CHANGES THE POLITICAL Status.
) The recent death of Gov. Rogers, of
Washington state, works complete
change in the political affairs of that
state. Mr.. Rogers was the embodiment
of all the anti-Republican ideas and
forces in politics, and was elected chief
executive by reason of his sturdy char
acter and his popularity with the people,
irrespective of politics.
When Gov. Rogers was elected he
was the only one on his ticket who was
successful The other officers chosen
We're Republicans. His death, therefore,
turns the whole machinery of the state
Washington had been a reliably Repub-
lican state, always accounted one of the
certainties in the Republican columns.
But the popularity of Mr.. Rogers and
the successful fusion effected by the
nti-Republican forces a few years ago,
placed it in the doubtful column. Gov.
Rogers first term In ONCE was so SatfS-
factory to the people, that he was re-
elected, although the others running
with him were showed under by good,
big majorities. The governor being anti
Republican, the appointive officers and
the commissioners of the state insti-
buttons were, of course, anti-Republican.
Now that death has removed the choice
of the people from the chair of the
chief executive, the Republicans will
come once more into full possession of
the spoils Of party success. That they
will hasten to avail themselves of 1t
goes without saying.
Gov. Rogers was a man of strong per-
sonality, fearless in his opinions, and a
good fighter for the cause he espeused.
He had the entire confidence of the peo-
pie of Washington state, as was shown
by their disregard of party lines when
he was a candidate for office. His death
brings to the front a new set of men,
and Wis have a far-reaching effect on the
fortunes of politicians of Washington.

MEnRIau.s sshEsplp WORK

ff~S-'
If Director Merriam, Of the census, had
done nothing more than secure the pub
LEGATION at this time of the report on
population. he would have established
his superiority as an executive officer,
ana his especial fitness for the duties
which pertain to the office.
There is 10 feature of the voluminous
product of the work of the census bu-
reau which the public has SO deep an
interest in or which possesses the same
measure of value to the general public
as that which relates to population. Yet
in the past it d las been true of that de
partment of census compilation that the
aateness of the appearance in printed
form of the work of the bureau has rob-
bed it of much of its value and has rele-
gated it in positive importance to the
position of the vast mass of literary
lumber which is piled high in every pub
lie Office throughout the country.
To have placed the report on popula-
ton at the disposal of the country three
and half years ahead of the time re-
euired by the bureau on former occa-
sions, shows in Very convincing way
the high degree of energy and devotion
which Director Merriam has brought to
bear on his work.
Much has been said about making the
census bureau a regular permanent Off
clad institution OF course there is every
thing to be urged IN favor of such a pro-
posal, and absolutely nothing whatever
to be said in extenuation of the short
sightedness which has rendered it a
mere temporary affair. The work in
volved is in progress in one, form or.
! other and to greater OF less extent all
through the intervening period between
one census and another or at least
should be, in order to be done with the
utmost efficacy.
Tie United States set an example to
the entire world over one hundred years
ago, when it directed the decennial TAX
ing of the national census from which
civilization itself has derived the utmost
value 1t lies with US, if We wish, to
continue to lead the way, not only IN
the exhaustiveness of the statistical
knowledge which such report should
present but in it's substantial value in
every form of human research. There
is no one step which can be taken that
will lead further in that direction than
the one of making the census bureau a
settled department, and it's head perma-
nent official of the federal government
