We find financial cranks, labor cranks, social' cranks and protective cranks; yet none of them seems able to stay the revolu tions ot the world on its axis. It re quires labor to effect results, and, as the cranks won't work, it is not surprising that they fail of accomplishing; any thing. i^ Tin: hard times are having one good effect in all parts of the country. The school attendance for the fall term has largely increased in all the principal cities.' This fact is due to the difficulty the older boys and girls find in procur ing employment. Their parents do not care to keep them at home, and ns a consequence they will receive more schooling than they would have had if times hud been better and work readily obtained. m Basks are robbed both in the West and East. The Colorado style of bold ' ing up the cashier is fraught with con siderable danger to the operators, as was shown at Delta Thursday, on which occasion two of the robbers fell dead from the bullets cf a trusty Winchester. Farther East the cashiers loot the banks at their leisure, and take a leisurely jaunt to foreign parts until the excite ment blows over. The Colorado style will be preferred by creditors of the banks; the Eastern style will continue popular with the bank officials. Men must indeed be in desperate •traits to seek to enter the army as pri vate soldiers. Probably the most signifi cant sign of the hardness of the times at .present is the fact that all the army recruiting stations are crowded with men seeking the paltry ?13 a month of fered.

There-was inspiration in \ these words, tered by a heathen philosopher more than two thousand years ago. The rejection yesterday by the British house of Jonjs of Mr. Glad stone's bill providing home rule for Ireland was an act of political suicide. It is the beginning of the end— and the end is not far distant— when the august body of peers that now.forms a part of the legislative power of Great .Britain shall ue no more. Seldom in late years have the peers", attempted to thwart the purpdses of the commons. Since the repeal of the corn laws they have been in wholesome dread of what by courtesy is called the lower house of parliament. For a time they opposed church disestablishment in Ireland, but they were forced to suc cumb to the same imperious will that now dominates the nation's chosen rep resentatives. On that momentous oc casion Mr. Gladstone spoke iv no un certain tones. lie told the heredi tary house that the country had decided upon a course and fieir duty was plain— it was but to obey. The present crisis is of far more cousequence than any question of paying tithes to an alien church, li concerns the right to that degree of self-government that is allowed to Scotland, to Canada and to the Austra lian colonies. Although Scotland has no legislature of her own, her repre sentatives in parliament submit the wishes of their constituents to the par liament, and those wishes are invari ably respected. The colonies enjoy the privilege of self-government without representation in parliament. The bill proposed for Ireland was a combination of the two forms— that ot Scotland and the colonies. It was reasonable; it was just; it was politic. This has been de nied to tue country by the lords. What next? ': : : There is little doubt as to what Mr. Gladstoxk will attempt. If he were younger by a score of years it would be revolution -the annihilation of the house of peers. And tie would succeed, for the country is ripe for such a step. His great ace will prevent his undertak ing such a task, however, and he will, perforce, be compelled to content him self with an appeal to the country. Of the result ot this appeal there is hap pily no existing doubt. Gladstone will be sustained, and then, if the lords shall again thwart his will, revolution will come. The lords have gone mad. They must be destroyed. _ THE PLifcJA OF PROTECTION. "Leave the tariff alone" is the frantic appeal of the Republican journals from Maine to California. "Leave the tariff' alone" was shouted by tne same gang during the presidential campaign a year ago. The people did not want to leave ihe tariff unmolested, and so distinctly announced at the ballot box. Men were elected to office who were pledged to r reform the tariff at the earliest possible' moment, and to wipe from the statute books every vestiKe Of McKinleyism. "We denounce the McKinley tariff law,*' said the Chicago convention, "as the culminating atrocity of class legisla tion; we indorse the efforts made by the Democrats to modify its most oppressive features in the directiou of free raw .materials and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into general consump tion, and WE PROMISE its repeal as one of tiie beneficent results that will follow the action" of the people. in in trusting power to the Democratic party." .-- ; I ; .. No section of the Democratic plat form was more widely discussed during the campaign than this. It was the great issue of the hour— almost trie only issue. The iniquities of the tariff formed the theme of every Democratic orator; a defense of the system called for the most adroit apologies that the ingenuity of the Republicans could devise. The peoole listened to both the accusers and defenders of the system, and they de cided by a majority unprecedented in our history that protection must cease; that no class of our people should, have an advantage over another; that the labor of the mechanic, the fanner and the artisan should not be dissipated in order that the profits of the wealthy manufacturer and importer might be in creased. The present congress has recognized the necessity for tariff revision by ap pointing special committees to investi gate the operations of the McKinlky act in all branches of industry. These committees are now at work, and it is probable that when congress shall as semble in regular session sufficient in formation will be at hand to permit of such a revision of the tariff as shall bring relief to the working millions of the na tion, and thus redeem the pledges made by the Democratic party to the people. To "leave the tariff alone" would be dis honest, a breach of faith, a shameless and inexcusable disregard of the wishes of the people as expressed at the ballot box. Congress will not, it dare not '•leave the tariff alone." McKinleyism was doomed by the verdict of the people last November; the sentence must be executed by the representatives of the people in congress, aud that with the least possible delay. . — «» THAT NICARAGUA SCHEME. The bankruptcy of ~ the Nicaragua Canal company, thus generally de scribed, but legally known as the Mari time Canal company, has called atten tion of the press to it again, generally in the line of comment on the hollowness of the great shell which crushed under the demand for payment of a debt of only £4,000. There is enough, however, of public interest in the disclosures now made relative to its condition and methods to make the country extremely thankful that congress did not listen to its re quests with acquiescent ears, even after John Secebman had suear-coated them with his amendments purposing to give the government a controrHng interest in its management.* The usual jobbing construction company now comes to the surface, whose rights and claims would have been superior to the company's, no matter whether the government or in dividuals controlled it. We escaped a job which would have been as redolent -of sharp practice as were the Pacific railroads. But. while there is no remote possi bility of the scheme being revived with any chance of success in this coirg'ress. the question yet remains whether it is not a national undertaking, with national benefits whether, having aided iron ways across the continent because of the national good to come from them, it is not just as defensible and necessary that we have a waterway across the continent. However this may be. we are glad to sec so unanimous an opinion in the press of the country that whenever it is undertaken the work should be done by the government exclusively under con cessions made to it, and be owned and operated when completed by the gov THE SAIOT PAUL PAIL IT GLOBS: SATURDAY MORNING.

There has been much discussion over, [ the action of Secretary Hoke Smith in suspending the payment of pensions to many survivors of the War of . the .Re bellion whose right to such pensions was not established by Drlma facie evi dence; and the secretary and his subor dinate. Pension Commissioner Locn ifEN, have been subjected to much un warranted condemnation. Perhaps the action of the denartmeut, was too hasty. If so, the fault lias been remedied by a supplemental order restoring the pen sioners whose claims are disputed -until such time as their cases hav«* been in-' vestigated and their. right to pensions determined. This act on the part of the secretary, of the interior removes all Just cause for] criticism. It is the desire of^very man, " be he Democrat or Republican, Populist or Prohibitionist, a veteran pensioner or one who draws no pension, to make of the pension, roll a roll of honor. Noth ing will so soon bring the great body of pensioners into disrepute as the indis criminate granting of the government largess to unworthy men. It is beyond dispute that there are thousands of men now drawiug pensions who never took" part in the war in such a capacity as would entitle them to bear the name of soldiers. Still others are drawing pen sions who are as sound bodily and mentally as when they entered the service, while another large body are enjoying the bounty of the govern ment because of disabilities not received in the service, but which nave arisen since the close ot hostilities, and which, in many cases,are the result of their own ignorance or vices. Such "pensioners' bring disgrace upon the men who haz arded their lives and lost limbs or health, in defense of their country. They are neither legally nor morally entitled to receive pensions, yet they are among the first to apply for them, and are the loudest in their denunciation of all measures adopted with a. view to mak ing the pension roll a roll of honor. It is not the purpose of the present administration to deny to any worthy soldier the benefits of the pension laws. It is its purpose, however, to purge* the lists of the names of^im worthy persons who bring disgrace upon every honest veteran in the land— th« camp follow ers, who were like jackals during the wai. aud since have lived upon ttie rep utation that others hove won, and falsely assumed to speak for nieii whose, shoes' latchet they were unworthy to unloose. No good citizen and no mem ber of the present federal administra tion has any desire to deny to any the award of merit, but the dead beats who falsely assume to represent the soldier and the soldier's cause must bo com pelled to take back seats. WOOL AT SECOND HAM). Wool has not been at so low an ebb at any time within the memory of man. Its price is only remunerative to the owners of flocks on the Southern plains, where the cost of keep is practically nothing. Where shelter and reed dur ing winter months is required there is no profit in sheep except for their flesh. The Ohio Wool Growers' association— that is, the three shepherds, Dklaxo, Lawrence and the other fellow whose name escapes us— have called a national assembly of shepherds to meet at Chi-: catro on the 2Sth iust. Montana wool growers have met, decided to take part iv it, elected delegates and resolved. Like all of their kind, they insist on having the general government — that is, All of Us— for special partners, contibuting part of the capital, and Bharius in none of the profits. In other words, they protest against the removal of the tax on foreign wools, and would have the present one inane mom pro tective. "- Naturally these special partners have tried to evade their unwelcome burden. They and their active, managing part ners have been pulling iv opposite di rections; the former wauled cheap woolens,, the latter wanted dear wool. The wool growers sought to turn back the tendency of our times, which sets strongly in the direction of improving the material condition of men by de creasing the cost of those things essen tial to their material comfort. They have suffered the penalty which usually falls on persons who persist In swim ming against the current. The special partners have had their way; the man-' aging partners are looking receiverships in the face. -'-\;*v •*• Whennhe price of anything needed by men is enhanced either by natural or artificial causes, the ingenuity of men is set to work to find something to take its place which will answer as well, or nearly as well, and cost less. The story of manufactures in this country for the last quarter of a century is replete with illustrations of this. When the price ot rags made paper dear, wood pulp came to make it cheap. The increasing cost of butter led to the manufacture of oleo margarine. The increasing cost of skilled labor brought forth machines' which dispensed with it entirely, or lessened the number required. Col umns might be filled with instances of which these are types. ■■ The wool growers were similarly de feated. They have not only perma nently injured themselves, but they have contributed to the defrauding of the wool users of the nation. As the tariff they obtained made wool from the sheeD's back dearer, the wit.of man be gan to search for wool from other sources. A prolific source was found in the worn aud cast-off woolen clothing of , the people. A new shepherd ap peared, tending new flocks. The rag man, with meager capital, gathered wool from flocks that cost him nothing for their keep. Shoddy mills grew up beside the carding mills, and supplied "wool" to the looms. Wool from, the sheep began a series of cycles. Cloth, clotbiug, rags, shoddy; clothing again, rags, shoddy; again clothing, and so on until destroyed. One shoddy maker says that wool is capable of six trans formations. The wool growers are entitled to no sympathy. Their greed simply over reached itself. Like the, dog in the fable, they dropped the substance to: grasp the shadow. They have drowned themselves in their own wool. They have succeeded in making' one pound of their wool the equivalent in its repro ductions of four, five, possibly six pounds of wool. They have thus enor mously increased the supply and have proportionately decreased the price. ; They may never again recover their former position, but any recovery can' only come from free, un taxed wool. *.

Recent Decisions Not Inconsistent With Republican Precedent. New York Times. We have referred heretofore to the failure of the leading .Republican papers to publish the explanations given to the press by Commissioner Lochren, of the pension bureau, and Judge Reynolds, assistant secretary of the interior, con cerning the recent decisions relating to pensions granted under the law of 1S1X). Our attention has been called to a spe cial dispatch from Washington, pub iishea in the Philadelphia Press of July 31, which did contain some of the im portant facts that were emphasized in the letters of Judge Lochren and Ju dg6 Reynolds. Speaking of the ruling of May 27, 1893. by »vhich Ravin's"" illegal "Order No. 104" was revoked and a foundation laid for a correction of his unlawful work, the Washington correspondent ot the Press said. "This same ruling was made by As sistant Secretary Bnssey on Jan. 7, IS»3, but Commissioner I Jan in kept on in the old way and stirred up all the adjudi cating "divisions of the pension office to renewed activity in grinding out the daily grist of admitted claims, in de fiance of this decision. It may be truth fully said that he did his best up to the very day he was relieved." If Rauiu's "best" was the granting of pensions illegally with- the greatest possible rapidity, in defiance of law and of the decisions and instructions of his superior officers, what would his worst have been? We direct attention to the positive assertion that the important ruling of Judge Reynolds in the Ben nett case, the ruliug which has been the object of so loud and so persistent a partisan outcry, was a repetition of a ruling of Judge Reynolds' Republican predecessor, made two months before the close of President Harrison's term, and insolently defied and violated by the Republican commissioner, Raum. . In the same dispatch th« Press' corre spondent in Washington said: : . - "In his decision in the Heike case, rendered Jan. 7, 1893, Secretary Bussey:. repudiated the whole business (the? practice of Raum under his illegal? 'Order No. 164'), and laid down th» 1 very principle which is now being car ried out by Assistant Secretary Rey nolds." ■ , And in explanation of the course taken by Commissioner Lochren under the ruling of Judge Reynolds, which was a repetition of the ruling of Bussey,^ the correspondent went on to say : ■. v "The new pension policy now belnsg enforced grew out of the very uecessi-* ties of the case. Under 'Order No. 164, 4 more invalid pensioners were enrolled in two years than bad been enrolled in. the previous thirty years, and the an nual expenditure was doubled with the prospect of another duplication if the same ratio of 'certificates issued' should be kept up for two years longer." " .-; We commend these facts, published by so prominent a -Republican paper as the Philadelphia Press, to . the attention of the Chicago Inter Ocean, the Boston Journal, the Indianapolis" Journal, the New York Tribune, and ! other leading papers of the party, which I appear to have overlooked them, or to have under taken to withhold them from their read era. We- must add that the Press Itself ■ seems in these days to have foreottvn that it published them only five weeks I MM - . . ' *:. : ■•;■.,. • ' THE BAMBLER'S RUN. I was on the grounds of the Hill sem inary yesterday, ■ and '. the ' conviction forced itself on me anew that a more 1 eligible or appropriate site for such an institution would be difficult- to find^ 'Up to date '< both dormitories, adminis tration building, class building a«d rgymnasium are under, roof. The mason work on the refectory is ■ not yet cora pjeie, but. will be : shortly. ■ Work } has not yet i been j started on the chapel," which will be ; on the opposite side of the quadrangle to the class building, Very little, if any, carpenter work has been done, nor has the plumbing [ been begun. Although there has been a sort of a public understanding that the sem inary was likely to open this fall, it now seems certain that the buildings cannot be made ready for occupancy—consid ering they are to be most ! elaborately .equipped— much short of a year. But lien .they are opened to students they will form- a grand group in an ex tremely beautiful setting. -t-t-e- At thfTriver end of. Summit avenue yesterday I"watched the workmen who are constructing the Macalester park, system of sewers— or, rather, the begin ning of the system. A start on the work has been ninde at the river end to secure* an outlet/ because Contractor Kirkland has encountered a great aval or" water iii his ditches. In dry soil the whole system could be put down in five months; as it is, the better part of a year will be consumed. Where the sewer will empty into the river there I will be a fall varying from 0 feet in 100 to almost the perpendicular, an irou pipe connecting the heavy tile pipe of the main line with the eighty feet, of outlet on the river bank below. And, by the way, the sewer pipe being laid is .manufactured at Red Wing, and is pro nounced superior to anything of the kind that can be procured elsewhere. It would make the eyes of a kid-gloved aristocrat stick out to see the sewer diggers m the lower trench working like Trojans in muddy running water, while the muck they throw to a staging overhead drips down onto them and cakes on their heads and backs. i3e as careful as he may. the shoveler on the staging cannot avoid the fall of more or less in tKi to the trench from which it was just thrown. Sewer building in wet ground is an unenviable task at any price. - • -t+- Visitors to Groveland park have often been heard to express surprise that trie icecream and candy stand should be continued for the small amount of busi ness it seems to do. In conversation with the. good woman who runs it I learned that her best patrons are the college boys from St. Thomas' seminary on tht-ir "five" afternoon.

There is a rule of the street car com pany that children slu.il not stand on ; the seats. Plainly, it was intended that conductors should use judgment in en forcing such a rule. Friday a lady got on a car at Meiriam Park, having iii her arms a chubby cherub of probably nine or tea mouths, hardly able, to stand up unless held. The mother stood the baby on the seat to allow it to loos out of the window, and the conductor at once told her of the rule mentioned. The baby "gave him the laugh" in killing fashion, but the mother was so much surprised seemed not to realize that she was violating that awful rule.

William Lee enjoys a good story, and has recently read with peculiar en joyment the stories told in the Globe on Capt. Hantacm, of the St. Paul postoffice, aud John McCarthy, who was formerly postmaster of Stillwater.- Col. Lee tells a story on both of them that. will open the eyes of their friends as to \tieir fish. stories. "When I was post-, master," said Col. Lee. "McCarthy and liardacre were eternally putting up schemes. They were very thick then, more so than they are since Capt. Hard racre: played the joke on McCarthy about the empty Mask that he 6 lied with lake water. Well, 'they, were in the habit of putting up big fish stories to impose on their friends. They had an agreement to go to Lindstroiu for a day's fishiug. One day a tele phone call from the Stillwater po-stoffice came to my office for Hardacre. I not having anything in particular to do answered the 'phone and found it was McCarthy, who was then postmaster at Stillwater. and he wanted to talk to Hardacre about the engagement to go fishing the next day.

I replied that I did not know. 'But you must go,' replied Mc- Carthy, 'for 1 have had two men up there for t'jree days fishing . for us.' I replied that the explanation was satis factory, and afterwards told Hardacre that McCarthy had sent word for him to be sure to go to Lindstrom the next day to fish. I awaited developments.

' WITH THE TRAVELERS. Hon. M. O. Hall, of Duluth, arrived in St. Paul from Europe yesterday; on his way home, and stopped a few hours at the Merchants', lie was seven weeks in the old country, spending most of his time In England. Scotland, I and, the Scandinavian: countries and Germany. He said: . ;. >-• ; > "While I have a great personal ad miration for Gladstone, I must say that I found ; the feeling . with .reference to the home rule bill, even in Ireland, very different from : what "I -expected. N 1 talked with a.number, of the leading .manufacturers of ; Ireland, who are all lull-blooded Irishmen, and was told by one and all of them that the passage of the biil would be a very disastrous thing for the Emerald isle. They, said that if the bill became a law they would simply remove their in dustries to England. There has sprung up considerable feeling between theProt estauts and Catholics within the past year. The Protestants assert that the Catholics are largely in the majority in Ireland, and that if the country has home rule the politics will be wholly in the hands of the Catholics, and will be run to suit the interests of the church. Of course, 1 do not know anything of the merits of the position, and only give you the talk I heard for what it is worth. At the same time 1 became convinced that if a good many Americans and Irish-Americans should visit that coun try they would find occasion to alter liiejr opinions somewhat. "The financial stringency in America Is keenly fell in European countries, where laree orders from this country have been canceled. The countries I visited will not be affected by- an un conditional repeal of the Sherman sil ver-purchasing law. But the repeal would have nearly as serious an effect in Fiance and the other silver countries of Europe as in our silver-producing states. Last Saturday in New York and yesterday in Chicago 1 found the financial condition greatly improved. It tnose cities they are gradually in creasing . their reserves, and they say that times have materially changed for the better during the past ten days.

"We could have disposed of all our logs,'' said he, meaning by "we," all the loggers of Stillwaler.

Anione the last of the glorious sur vivers of the "crack" regiment of the army of the Potomac, the gallant First Minnesota, stands the present commis sioner of pensions, Judge Lochren. From the first battle or Bull Hun to the Gettysburg: charge, where the most of the regiment died that the Union might live. Judge Lochren followed the Hag, and since then as a private citizen, as a lawyer and a jurist has stood pre-em inent in the state of Minnetota and the ' Northwest. Witn that clearness of judgment and knowledge of mankind so characteristic of Cleveland, he select ed him for the position he now holds, aud well and worthy has he proved of the confidence reposed in him.— Grafton News-Times. Pension Commissioner Lochren, w l started out to go as far in the direction of unfairness to the old soldier as I>is predecessor, Corporal Tanner, went in the direction of undue liberality, has been called down by Secretary Hoke Smith, and hereafter the veteran draw ing a pension will be given the same show that an ordinary accused felon has. He will no longer be considered guilty until he proves hisowninno ceuce. — Mitchell Republican. Judge Lqchren is severely criticised by a certain element whose only pur pose seems to be to stir up a bitter feel ing against him. Judge Lochren has a record as a soldier that is good. He was on the field of Gettysburg, not as a spectator, but a soldier fighting for a. Union one and inseparable. He went in to the army as one of the gallant Minnesota First, and with them he shared all their glory, and helped them to win it. We care nothing about his politics. We didn't ask him about them in the terrible battle of Gettysburg, and are Dot going to do so now. All honor to whom honor is due. All honor to the faithful old soldier. Increase his pen sion to meet the requirements of his de clining years. Away with the per jurer -that has no record but what his own lying tongue has made for him..
