A NEW THEATER.

Why would not new theater, say on
Summit avenue, be good thing for st.
Paul? 1t need not be very large, but
should be architecturally very beautiful.
Let it be built of stone, with turrets,
gables, oriel windows and flying but
tresses. Let Virginia creeper and
Japanese ivy be planted about its walls.
and let it be surrounded with green and
carefully tended lawns. Let it be
arranged inside so as to invite the pres
ence of large numbers of CAV parties.
and let all the stage appointments be of
the very best. Let RICHARD MANS
FIELD or STEELE MACKAYE or some
other man Of dramatic genius be en-
gagged to manage it, and let us have
temple to the greatest of the arts the
like of which the world has never seen.
Such place would not pay, of course:
but neither do the best art galleries or
opera houses or music halls. It's patrons
would have to contribute say twenty
five or thirty thousand dollars year
for is support, but it would be worth
while. We might in such event have
plays presented with perfection of de-
tail by actors every one of whom was
master in his craft. Writers of dramas
would get to look on st. Paul as dra-
matte center, and would come here with
their works. The local public would
soon be educated to appreciate the best,
and success here would be a prelude
and promise of success elsewhere. Our
city would become capital for play
wrlghts and performers, like the capital
of Bavaria when its mad king reigned.
st. Paul would grow famous for some
thing more novel and more attractive
than the university at Minneapolis, or
even than the state institutions at Red
Wing, Faribault or Saltwater. This is
great scheme, worthy of consideration.
And. by the way, such theater,
which cared nothing for profit, might
also be closed on Sundays

SENATOR GORMAN

Senator GoRMAN, of Maryland. IN
sists that he is still for Mr.. CLEVELAND.
and says that SO also are the rank and
file of the Democracy. He admits that
there are surface indications of opposi.
ton to the great New Yorker, but
claims that the opposition is not deep.
''Mr. CLEVELAND is the popular favor
lite of the Democratic party still,' he de-
clares. His admirers, according to SEN
ator GoRMAN's idea, find fault with him
and protest that they will trust to him
no longer. But they are like a lover
who vows that he Will never again look
OH his mistress face, only to return be-
times in the morning. Or, to use his
own iigure, suggested by the Kentucky
revolt, they are like blooded horses
who are kicking and prancing before
the start, but who will come down the
homestretch for the party's choice when
the word ''go'' is given.

noted that there is a boom of no small
proportions in many quarters for SEN

THEY WILL ORGANIZE.
The Farmers Getting in Line in
Many States.


WASHINGTON, June 7.-Col. L. T.
Farmers alliance, and Congressman
Jere Simpson lett last evening
for Lacrosse, Wis, to attend a
convention of the different Industrial
organizations of that state which meets
next Tuesday, the 9th of the month,
for the purpose of uniting with
the national Alliance as one work
ing body. After the organization of
the Alliance is completed, they will
make several speeches in that state.
and then proceed to Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York. where mass meetings have
been arranged by the Alliance leaders
of those states, to discuss the principles
of the order. President Folk saws:
Every state in the union will be
actively canvassed by the talent in
the Alliances in the way of speakers,
lecturers and canvaSSers, who will
fully explain the objects of the Alliance
and what will be asked in the way Of a
state and national legislation. Presi-
dent Polk has arranged, through his
forty state Alliance presidents, to
have mass meetings at several
points in each of the forty states during
the next four months, with view of
accomplishing the greatest amount OF
work i'll the shortest possible time. He
will have hundreds of speakers at
work at the same time throughout
the entire union, educating, as he says,
the masses to the Alliance cause before
the meeting of the Fifty-second congress.
BY the time the national convention
meets in November he thinks the AL
lance will be fully posted as to their
strength, as presidential and congress
sional factor in 1922. President Polk
has taken the field in person, and will
yisiteverY state from Maine to the Pa
citic slope.

CAN HAVE THE WORLD.

The United States ought to be the
greatest manufacturing country in the
world, and its wares should be found in
successful competition in the markets
all around the globe. A broad-gauge
merchant, Mr.. EDDY, contributes to the
Forum an article on this subject. He
is veteran in mercantile life and
familiar with the foreign trade, having
been engaged in 1t for years. The pict-
ure he draws of the expansion possible
when the self-imposed fetters are with
drawn is an exhilarating one to ma
tionai pride. The advantages in min
eraI resources, the freedom of internal
intercourse, the speed and skill of
our workmen, and the alacrity
with which new inventions are
utilized, more than meet any adj
vantage the manufacturer in England,
France or Germany may have in cheap
ness of labor. The magazine writer be-
lieveS that American ships could be
laden with American goods to all the
ports of the world where European
products go if.the legislative policy of the
country were not in the way. Further,
he even believes that, in spite of the
cheaper labor, the chief manufacturing
countries over the water would be
driven to tariffs to keep American COM
petition out of their home markets. He
is practical business man, and not
dreamer. He does not overstate the
possibility. The home market for the
farmer Or manufacturer is all right. as
far as it goes, but its limit is easily
reached. America can feed hal #
the world, and its manufactures
could be multiplied tenfold if the
magnificent opportunities were unob-
structed by narrow and short-sighted
policies. The protective system is dis
advantage to labor,as it renders employ
ment less reliable and the cost of living
greater. 1t enriches the few who are
able to form trusts and limit production.
In many important lines the capacity of
the home markets has been reached.
The need is to shake off the burdens
and utilize all the energies and re-
sources at command..The opportunity is
opening for the diffusion of the products
of American skill and capital in all the
regions where Older nations find profit
able customers. The political drift is
in the better direction.

BISHOP IRELAND's VIEWS.

Archbishop Ireland says that the
Catholic church cannot be made either
German or an Irish institution in
America. 1t must be American in every
respect. He denouDces the recent
German memorial TO the pope as the
acme OF impudence, in language which
stamps him as a thorough Americau.-
Toledo Bee..
Archbishop Ireland does not take
kindly to what is known as the Luz
cerne movement, that is to preserve the
nationality of the Catholic immigrants
to this country as much as possible. The
archbishop says: "The mass of our
Catholics to-day have been born in Am
erica, and whether their fathers were
Irish or German, they are Americans,
and they resent with Indignation any
Effort to class them into Irish or Ger
mans, or foreigners Of any stripe.
w hat is the most strange feat
ure in this whole Lucerne
movement is the impudence of the men
in undertaking to meddle, under any
preteXt. in the Catholic affairs of Amer
lea. This is simply objectionable. and
all American Catholics will treasure up
the affrOnt for future action. We ac-
knowledge the pope of Rome as our
chieftain in spiritual matters, and we

But men in Germany, or Switzerland,
Or Ireland. must mind their own buSi-
ness and be still as to ourS.''e
The Catholic Mirror. of Baltimore,
calls the Lucerne movement 'cOn
Spiracy." and declares that its purpose
is ito promote the realization of the
selfish dreams and un-American aspira-
tions of little clique in this country,
from which it draws its Inspiration and
shape" This clique, the Mirror asserts.
is willing to sacrifice the church'S i'll
terest to its own infatuation with
foreign ideas. ."-Winona Herald.
Archbishop Ireland's criticism of
Mr. .Cahensley, who wants to perpetuate
foreign nationalities in this country by
dividing the United States into num-
Der of German, Bohemian, Polish, Ital
lian.French, Spanish and irish dioceSes,
are pertinent and truthful. Cahensley
undoubtedly represents large element
among the Roman Catholic clergy
of America who were born and edu-
Gated in Europe. They want to per-
petuate European traditions in America.
That is why theya oppose teaching of
the American language in the public
schools. That is why they sustain an
agency at the vatican to prevent the ap-
pointment of Americans or American.
lied foreigners to American dio-
ceSes ana to secure the ap-
pointment of Germans, Italians,
Swiss, Frenchmen and Irishmen. They
have succeeded, too. Through the
agency of Bavarian cardinal and an
Indiana bishop of German birth the
Western diOceses have for years been
kept under foreign ecclesiastical DOM
inatiOn. Recently Archbishops Ireland
and Riordan, both of American birth,
and Bishop Spauldlng of long American
descent, have succeeded in breaking
down the domination of the Bavarian-fn
dian agency at Rome. Mr.. Cahensley,
of Lucerne, is trying to set it up in a most
offensive form. Rome is too wise or too
willy to do as Cahensley advises. The
Roman Catholic church in America
would be shattered by schism.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

CAPT. CHESTER DEAD.
The Well-Known Newspaper Man
Passes Away.

DETROIT, Mich, June Capt.
George M. Chester. one of the best
known newspaper men of Michigan,
died here to-day, aged fifty-two years.
He was connected with the Detroit
Free Press for many years. His serv-
ice was, however, interrupted by
gallant career in the army
and by professional work in other
cities. He was from 1861 to
1868 clerk in the Office of Maj. Rucker
at Washington. While here he prepared
the forms of charter parties in contracts
now in use in the United States quar-
termaster's department. He was or
dered as QuartermaSter to Elmira, n.
Y, for the great draft, and handled,
clothed and sent to the front all of the
troops raised in Western New York.
In 1864 President Lincoln promoted
him to be captain and assist
ant quartermaster of volunteers.
He was in Gen. Augur'S department at
Washington. After the war he was city
editor of the st. Paul Press and then
went to New York, where he was EN-
plOyed as reporter on the New York
Tribune. He was afterwards made
junior editor of Appleton'S Journal and
was subsequently engaged in different
capacities on almost ALI of the large
New York dailies, but finally returned
to Detroit and the Free Press in 1878,
and continued in its service until his

winter gave him prominence and
position before the country like that
which SAMUEL j. RANDALn won in a
similar fight years ago. Senator COR
MAN has all the qualities of personal
fitness and availability which would
make him strong candidate. He is
young. self-made. popular, aggressive
and discreet. He avoids extremes of
opinion on public questions. He is not
a protectionist, but, on the other hand,
he is not a free trader. He is not closely
allied with the gold monomaniacs of
Wall street, nor again with the fiscal lu-
natics OF the Kansas prairies. Ii he were
nominated the Democracy would. per-
hapS, lose the support of some of the
political sentimentalists who have affil-
lated with 1t of recent years. But he
would unite his own party in one heroic
struggle for victory as few men could.
Senator GoRMAN is good presidential

Sir John Macdonald.
OTTAWA, Ont, June 7.-Ottawa is the
city OF mOrunlng to-day Everywhere
are seen signs of the general sorrow fell
at the loss the nation has sustained in
the death of Sir John Macdonald, one
OF her greatest SONS. Flags are flyine
at half-mast from the parliament and
other public buildings and also many
private houses. some of which are
draped with Grape. The United States
nag Is floating at half-maSt over the
United States consulate. The remains of
the dead leader were embalmed this
morning. The embalmer saws Sir
Johns body is less enaciated than was
generally supposed. The casket in
which the remains will be inferred was
made West Meridian. Conn. 1t is of
steel and painted beautiful rose color
The massive handles consist of solid OK
ldiZe silver and extend along both sides
OF the coffin. On the lid are three large
silver tlgureS emblematic of the flight
OF time, in white silk. The outside of
the caSket is made of solid oak. The in
scription on the silver plate has not vet
been engraved. The official programme
OF the funeral arrangements is as follows

and thence to the Canadian Pacific sta.
tion. whence the body will be conveyed
to kingston. The body will lie in state
at the city hall, Kingston, until Thurs
day noon, when the interment VIII take
place.
TORONTO, June IA quiet canvass is
being carried on among prominent Con-
SeryatlyeS in city with view of dscov-
erlng how far the accession OF Sir John
Thompson to the party leadership
would be acceptable. The feeling
against HIM on the part OF
the Orangemcn has been found to be of
unexpected strength Immediately
after the announcement of the pre-
mier's death last night, all the fire and
church bells were tolled, and the news
papers came out with special mourning
additions.
LONDON. June S.-AIl the newspapers
speak IN eulOglStic terms of the late Sir
John Macdonald and express the deep
est regret at his death. The Daily News
says his death is loss to the whole en-
pre-. Ii he was not exactly a great
man, he did great things. He con-
trlyed to postpone some of the most
searching questions OF colonial policy.
Therefore his death is likely to produce
farreachlng changes.

already expended Oil the grounds, and
the ultimate cost of the exhib-
ition will exceed s26.OOO.o00. That
amount, in fact. is in sight. Some s12.-
000.00o will be put in the buildings,
which will surpass in architectural Won
ders any modern structures. The
money invested in grounds and edifces
will be more than double that of the
Paris exhibit. There is no doubt that
it will be worlds fair. Assurances
are had that the foreign nations will be
tully represented. and 1t is believed that
the rulers of several of the great Euro

notions ana come in person. Popular
enthusiasm will grow as the time ap-

Scheme of the Farmers Alliance
Leaders.

Scheme of the Farmers Alliance
Leaders.
TOPEKA, KaS., June THE Alliance
executive committee of Kansas is CON
sidering scheme which practically
places the sub-treaSury plan of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance in the
hands of private capitalists. j. C.
Hopkins, who was delegate from the
New York Economic club at the Cincin-
natl convention, is the originator of the
scheme. The plan is to establish a bank
in each county of the state under The
direction of the local Alliance exchange.
The capital stock is to be fur
nished by private subscription. In CON
nectiCn with each bank an elevator or
store house is to be built A farmer
may then dump his grain, corn or cotton
into the StOrehouSe, receiving for it a
check for so per cent of the value of the
grain deposited by paying small per
centage for storage and insurance lie
will be allowed to keep his grain in the
depository until such time as he may
deem it best to place it upon the mar
ket. The amount of produce deposited
in this way must not exceed the
amount of stock subscribed for the bank.
The checks to be issued by these banks
are peculiarly devised, and are printed
in colors. These checks are made paya-
bic in gold or silver at any of the banks
run in this manner 1t is intended that
they shall be circulated as money.

Sir George Stephen is lucky man,

He went to Canada when quite young,
but began life as barefooted lad in his

The Duke of Portland is the champion
subscriber to newspapers. He takes ali

from all over creation. The preceding
duke used to do the same thing, and
filled up three houses with them.

hand to defend if any one should be so
foolish as to attack them. This has the
true ring of the iron chancellor.

IN A POLITICAL WAY.

Hon. John T. Meagher, of Mankato, and
Joel P. Heatwole, of Northfeld. were two of
the heavyweight politicians at the Merchants
yesterday. They are active exponents-the
first of the Democratic faith aud the other of
the Republican form of administering the
affairs of the government-and they are both
equally prom1nentin their particular political
organizations. Mr.. Meagher was for good
many years a member of the state central
committee, and was chairman of the famous
state convention of 1886 that chose DR.. Ames
as its gubernatorial standard bearer That
was, by the way, memorable gathering of
the Democratic sages of Minnesota, and it
marked an epoch--the turning or pivotal
point when the voters began to turn from
the Republican to the Democratic ranks in
such a comprehensive volume that the
plurality of the party that had been so over
whelmingly dominant almost became a mere
igment The plurality was reduced from
over $4,000 to about 2,000
-
Mr.. Meagher states that there is no political
significance to his visit, and Mr.. Heatwole,
who is the present chairman of the Repub-
lican state central committee denies that
there is any activity in his organization. ST
am not aware that any member of the COM
mittee is taking steps looking towards the
next campaign" he said. II am doing moth
ing" Perchapce this declaration may be in
line with the oft-repeated assertion that there
is certain coldness existing between the ex-
ecutive and some of the members of the COM
mittee, at least. 1t may be pretty safely
recorded. at any rate, that not all the mem
bers are agreed that Senator Davis should be
shelved to make room for Gov Merriam.

ON THE RAGGED EDGE.
Many Census Employees Must be
DISCHARGED.

WASHINGTON, June There is con-
sternation in the various branches of
the census office. 1t grows out of the
fact that the money appropriated to
carry on the work is running so low
that it has become necessary to
reduce the force. 1t is limited that
between now and July the force is to
be reduced at least 1000, which takes in
quite large number of the original ap-
pointees, and nearly all those who were
recently given a three months appoint
ment. This infor nation was gently i'm
parted yesterday by Chief Clerk Childs,
on being asked to transfer number
of the clerks 10 the regular
list or reappOint them for another
threemonth terms. He replied that it
was impossible to do so. and that on the
expiration of the time there would not
be any new ones appointed. The work
is nowhere near completion, and it is
only thought possible by working the
force night and day that by Dec. 1 it
would all be up in shape. This state of
affairs will delay the work of the Office
considerably, and will necessitate az
extra appropriation to complete it.
