In His Interview He Makes Himself Out
Badly Injured Innocent.
New YORK, Feb. IA special from
Terrebonne, Que, says G. Il. Silcott, the
cashier Of the sergeant-at-arms office,
who absconded from Washington on
November 80, with about S96,OO0, has
been found. He is stopping at the house
of Mr.. Thibault, the father of the
woman with whom Silcott fed from
Washington. The woman is also domi.
ciled here. Miss Thibault's parents
seem to be still unaware of their
daughters fall, and apparently be-
lieve that she is tho wife of the man
whom she is said to have lured to his
ruin. In an interview last night Sill
colt said: '"rhe charge of forgery is bosh.
When left Washington for New York

the United States. AS proof of this
point to the fact that on Wednesday

races. On the contrary, he lost heavily.
He only went to the races to keep up
and be a hale fellow with the members
who are now running him down. He defies
the detectives and says the best legal
advice in Canada assures him that he
has committed no eXtraditable offense.

THE OLD RETdaRr,E.

Editor Globe: Will you please give the
date of the founding of the Dem oeratic party
i'll this country and terse statement of its
cardinal principles? b.
Duluth, Oct. &c.
The Democratic party is as old as the
country. and its principles are as old as
humanity. THOMAS JEFFERSON was the
founder of the Democratic party in the
United States, and he formulated it's
principles in his inaugural address as
president in 1901. The Democratic party
occupies the same ground to-day that
it did then. and will stand there as long
as the republic endures. Wequote from
Mr.. JEFFERSON first inaugural the
language which has always been ac-
cepted as a correct enunciation of Dem
ocratic principles:
Equal and exact Justice to all men of
whatever state or persuasion, religious or
political: peace, commerce and honest
friendship with all nations, entangling alli-
ances with none; the support of the state
governments in all their rights, as the most
competent administrations for our domestic
concerns. and the surest bulwarks against
anti-republiean tendencies: the preservation
of the general government i'll its whole con-
stitutfonal vigor as the sheet anchor of our
peace at home. and safety abroad Jealous
care of the right of election by the people;
absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the
majority; a well disciplined militia; the SUI
premacy of the civil over the military author
ity; economy in the public expenses, that
labor may be lightly burdened: the honest
payment of our debts, and sacred preserva-
ton OF the public faith; encouragement of
agriculture, and commerce as its handmade
the diffusion of information and the ar
raignment of all abuses at the bar of public
reason; freedom Of religion; freedom of the
press; freedom of the person under the pro-
lection of the habeas corpus, and trial by
juries impartially selected-these principles
form the bright constellation which has gone
before us, and guided our steps through an
era of revolution and reformation.

HOW ABOUT IT?

Speaker REED will be in town to-day.
and we hope he will find time to step
around and take glance at the apol-
ogy for public building we have here
in the great metropolis of the North
west. 1t will enable him to see what
malicious cuss he was when he inter-
posed his autocratic power to defeat the
st. Paul public building appropriation.
The appropriation for new public
building in this city could have been
passed I'D five minutes time if the rep
resentative from this district had taken
the floor and pressed the measure.
Capt. SNIDEB's apology for not doing so
has been that the speaker refused to
recognize him.
Now that Mr.. REED is here, 1t is likely
that he and Mr.. SNYDER will put their
heads together and agree to charge it
up to the Democratic minority. We
serve notice on these gentlemen in ai-

passed into the control Of a party of i'm

passed into the control of a party of i'm
perialiSm.
When the truth of history comes to be
properly stated. it will bear evidence t1
the fact that the Democratic obstruc-
florists who have invoked the avathe-
mas of Car REED were merely trying
to compel the Republican majority to
bear the responsibility OF their own
acts. When Mr.. REEDS caucus vasSals
went off on prolonged drunk. as some
of them did, or HE'D away to Wall
street to speculate on the futures of
legislation and left the Republicans in
the minority in the house, the Demo-
Gratis didn't propose to sit.in their seats
and let the Republican minority en-
act into laws all the infamous meas
ures that the caucus had az reed upon.
They simply resorted to tactics which
compelled Mr.. REED to send out for his
rtcreant servants gnI bring them back
to vote in favor of his pet subsidy
schemes aud lobby legislation. That is
all there was of this obstruction bust
ness. The Democratic minority had it
Ill their power to force the Republican
majority to stay in their places. and
they did it, They fastened on the Re-
publican majority the stain of infamy
which attaches to the legislation of the
Fifty-first congress, and that is what
MIR. REED is mad about.
All honor to that splendid Democratic
minority who failed to bend the knee to
Baai and VINO refused to bow down be-
fore the golden image which the Re-
publican autocrat set up in the camp of
the republic. The more Speaker REED
abuses them, the more the people think
of them. And as an evidence of the
popular appreciation of their services,
the Democratic minority of the Fifty
first congress will be swelled into a
magnificent majority in the Fifty-sec-
ond congress.
