COME ONE. COME ALL.

The GLOBE expresses the hope that
the meeting of the chamber of COM
merce this afternoon will be well at
tended by the members of that body, by
the jobbers and by all the business
classes of the city. The object of the
meeting is to fix up St. Paul's quota of
the guaranty necessary to provide the
Dakota farmers with seed wheat. Min
neapoliS has already taken action and
guaranteed her 100000. st. Paul is
asked to become security for like
amount, and Duluth for $4,000, while
the railroad and elevator people are re-
lied on to make up the full amount.
The meeting this afternoon will be
addressed by Gov. MILLER and
the other gentlemen who are with
him as the representatives of the North
Dekota farmers. As the GLOBE has
previously explained, our North Dakota
friends are not asking this as bonus or
gratuity, but they have come to us with
plain business proposition, asking our
assistance as guarantOrS for the pay
ment of the sum that will be necessary
to be expended in the purchase of seed
wheat. The Twin Cities have an equal
interest with our North Dakota friends
in doing what is necessary to secure a
good wheat crop this season. But if we
had no interest in IT, it would still be a
neighborly act for us to become their
bondsmen in this emergency, and to
give them the reasonable aid that they
ask of us. Therefore we hope to see
the business men of this city turn out in
full force at this afternoon meeting
and show by their presence, as well as
by their deeds, the kindly feeling they
have for our North Dakota neighbors.

LIKELY TO BE FOOLED.

If good many prominent people in
North Dakota who have had very attent-
i've ears near the heart pulses of the
people are not grievously in error, there
will be very much Of an earthquake in
politics there this fall. One or two
other of the new states are likely to dis
appoint the partisans who have sought
to monopolize the credit of their state
hood. Nearly all the states admitted in
the past forty or fifty years have been
brought in under party auspices, with
a special view to securing their votes.
1t would be too strong statement that
the only reason for admitting states was
to add to the strength of parties. but
the immediate date of their entrance
has. as rule. been determined by par
tisan considerations. In 1887 the Dem
ocrats were nervous over the show the
opposition had made the year before,
and they brought in Michigan as a
Democratic state. In 1916 Florida and
Texas came in for the same purpose.
At later periods the Democrats took in
Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota
and Oregon, all staunchly Democratic.
Six OF the eight afterwards revolt
ed when the Democrats began to
set the bad example in admis-
istration the Republicans are now fol-
lowing. The Republicans then com

TAXING ALIENS.

There is evidently growing Senti-
ment in this country in favor of taxing
alien residents. This sentiment has
been strengthened by the action of
France, Germany, Italy and Austria
within the last year, where legislation
has been enacted with this particular
object in view. And in Sweden a law
has Just been passed imposing tax of
$50 month on each foreigner who
transacts business in that country. If
this policy is right in the countries of
the old world, there is all the more rea-
son for adopting it here; for in the
United States the alien population is
greater than in any country of
Europe. There are thousands upon
thousands of foreigners here. dwelling
in safety under the ample folds of Uncle
Sans flag, land yet contribute nothing to
the support of the government which
protects them. They refrain from talk
ing out letters of naturalization because
they wish TO be relieved from the per-
formance and from a participation in all
the duties Of American citizenship.
They are perfectly willing to avail
themselves of the benefits conferred by
republican government, but are unwill-
ing to contribute to its support. 1t
would only be fair that they be made to
share the burthens of the nation whose
hospitality they enjoy. American citi-
gems going abroad have to do it, there
fore there can be nothing wrong in re-
curing European citizens coming to
this country to submit to the same treat
ment. The New York Tribune suggests
that congress enact such law on this
subject as is now proposed in the Brit
ish parliament, of imposing poll tax of
$25 per annum upon all foreign resi-
dents who fail to take out naturaliza-
ton papers, and then to initiate Sweden
by assessing tax of $50 per month on
the foreign gentlemen who come to this
country for the purpose of acquiring
our lands and for organizing trusts and
syndicates for the control of American
Industries. This would be little steep,
but reasonable tax ought to be i'm
posed, as it would afford a considerable
source Of revenue, and it could be en-
forced by doing as King OSCARS gov
ernment has done, refusing to recognize
any contract or agreement as valid
until the tax in question had been paid
up to date for the entire term of the
foreigners past residence in the coun.

A LIMIT THERE.

Those New England manufacturers
who appealed to congress for free raw
material, with the earnestness and pa
thos of real need. feel from the promise of
the MCKINLEY bill that they are being
given stones for bread. Their appeals
have not only been ignored, but they
are to have still more crushing burdens
imposed on them in the new tax on
hides and the increased rates on wool.
One Of the prominent journals speaks of
it as proposition to be expected fro m
madhouses rather than from congress
sional committee. Since hides have
been on the free list. less than eighteen
years, the exports of leather and manu-
features of leather have increased
about four-fold. This would be nearly
all destroyed by the proposed tax. The
wooden mills are closed up on account of
the cost of the raw material, and it is
proposed to add to this cost. New Eng
land has been one Of the unwavering
factors in the protective process, but it
looks very much as if there were limit
even there in sacrifices for party.

HAVE USE FOR ALL.

Those who have been disposed to SYM
pathize with the Republicans in their
arduous task Of expelling all the per-
sistent occupants of the national treas
ury will find the occasion being pretty
effectually dissipated. A glance at the
totals of the multiplied measures for
the removal of the surplus will give as
surance of an easy and radical fulfill
ment of any pledges given. MI.
SPRINGER, Senator VANCE, and other
Democrats have indicated the results
in their computations and been desig-
mated as partisan exaggerators and DEM
agogues. However, Senator HAwLEY,
of Connecticut, persistent but "a
tional Republican, has raised note of
warning to his political associates. Now
that all branches of the government are
in the unobstructed control of Repub-
lieans, and have been for year, he finds
that the estimated receipts for the next
fiscal year will fall short of the expend-
lures by 100000. This can be easily
made up, of course, by more tariff Oh
leather, tin plate, eggs and such. 1t
shows that the Republicans are able to
find use for all the moneys they can
find.

BREAKFAST TALK.

What an interesting volume, says the
New York Star, the life of A.. Miner
Griswold would make! He is the last
Of the first generation of American
humorists, having come into prOmi-
nence under the quaint title of 1.-THE Fat
Contributor" when Artemus Ward had
just sprung into fame. At that time
Bret Harte, John Hay, Mark Twain,
Max Adeler and Petroleum V. Nasty
were unknown. Unlike most writers
of fun, Griswold seems never to have
lost his grip, and does as much work to-
day as he did thirty-odd years ago. His
labors have been very successful, and
have paid him handsome profit.
During his lecture tours, which filled
the better part of eighteen years, he had
many curious adventures. One night
Western village he was constantly in
terrupted and insulted by the town
bully, desperate who had killed a
number Of men. The dOOrkeeper and
usher were afraid of the fellow, who
came for the avowed purpose of break
ing up the entertainment. Grlswold
finally lost his patience, and stopping
short in sentence said to the ruffian:
"My dear sir, either you or must
leave the hall.
The man leaned back in his chair and
smilingly answered:
"Waal, young fellow, 1 guess you had
better quit"
The lecturer stepped back, and then.
running forward at full speed, leaped
from the platform full upon his adver-
sary. What with his speed, big weight
900 pounds) and the height of the ros
trum, his impetus knocked the man
senseless and smashed the chair in
which he was sitting. He was carried
out, a hopeless wreck, amid loud APP
plause, and Griswold returned to the
platform and finished his lecture.

Condition of Third Street.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
was very glad to see in your issue Of Mon
day brief reference to the condition of East
Third street, in the neighborhood Of the
bridge. The neglected state of this thorough
fare is beyond description. There is. or used
to be, sidewalk in front of the Wisconsin
Central freight house, but as teamsters are
allowed to drive all over ii the walk has be-
come covered with mud to the depth of sew
eral inches, and it is often difficult to de-
termine where the original walk is situated.
At the present moment there is filthy bog
reaching from the west end of the bridge to
the Armour Packing company's office,
and as there is no way OF escaping the
mud one has to close ones eyes and
wade in. 1t is plainly the duty of the city
authorities to remedy this state of things.
first by having the accumulation of mud
seraped off the sidewalk in question: and
then by having teams kept off of it in the
future. The wealthy property owners on
Dayton's bluff have heretofore shown no in
terest in the condition of this leading ap-
proach to a crowded residence portion of the
city. Perhaps. if they knew how many good
tenants are contemplating moving away
from the bluff this spring. fairly driven off
by the mud and railway smoke, they would
bestir themselves little. and bring some
pressure to bear where it would do the most
good. BLUFFEE.

without special act of the legislature,
with some doubt as to its feasibility
then. The court goes back to the colo

can find that woman has ever been a

the notary are to affix a seal to legal
papers and certify signatures. The SUI

wanted Colorado to come in, and it did

now hunting the prairies, plains and

Young Kavanagh Entrances An
other Audience With His Mar
vellOus Powers.
If Blatenford Kavanagh overlooked
any laurels On the occasion of his first
visit to st. Paul six weeks ago, he
gathered them all in last night at the
Peoples church, sending vast audience
home entertained. Some one has said
the inevitable change was coming over
his voice. If it is change, it is
change for the better. for his clear,
sweet and sympathetic notes seemed
never purer and fuller. His
artistic handling of his great gift
is also improving, manifesting
itself in his artistic shading. He had
three numbers last light, which meant
six songs, and everything else OH the
programme was left in the nimbus.
Schubert'S ''Erl King' was given first
and "Last Rose of Summer" for an en-
core. His masterpiece. ';Angels Ever
Bright and Fair" was superb, and
''Home, Sweet Home" was thessympa-
thetic encore. Finally, "Where Is
Heaven" was sung with exquisite
pathOS and feeling, and was followed by
the familiar "Ye Banks and Braes."
Nothing could surpasS the joyousness
of that youthful voice, rounded rom
childish treble into full womanly
soprano, and nothing need be added to
the Gil oBE'S complete critiques.
The remainder of the programme was
filled with good music, A. ID. Laird, of
Minneapolis, showed clever mastery
of the cornet, and Thomas L. Drill has
very robustious and melodious bari
tone, which was heard with great pleas
ure. The CeciIian quartette had several
very attractive numbers. Mr.. Roney's
organ work was omitted, but Organist
Baldwin, of the Peoples church, filled
the numbers and nothing was missed.
Young Kavanagh will sing again to-
morrow night, and probably for the last
time in st, Paul,

teachers who have served nine years
