A FEW days ago it was limited in some
quarters that the Democrats of the North
west would forget their obligations to
their party because of the action of the
national committee in sending the ma
tional convention to the Windy City. OF
course that is all nonsense. The North
west was entitled to the convention. but
because the convention did not come this
way, we must not sit down and sulk. St.
Paul and Milwaukee made able efforts to
get the convention, but they were de-
feated and for that they were not to
blame. The East was against them and
so they were outnumbered. No; the
Democrats of the Northwest must not
and will not sulk. On the contrary they
will work the harder to show the COM
mittee four years hence that they can
forget and forgive an injury. tits Demo-
cratic success we want and to get that
we must work hard.

SPEAKING of Cardinal Manning last
Sunday Rabbi Marks in the jewish syna-
gogue said: "Such man as Cardinal
Manning deserves to be remembered by
us. Such a man is worthy Of being en-
shrined in our hearts. There was no
room for prejudice in his broad love for
humanity. No narrow forms of belief;
no petty limitations warped his Judgment
of others. He was sincere, kind and
noble himself, and recognized the quail
ties when he found them in others. He
placed charity next to God in his cate
chiem and welcomed the strength and
devotion of all of the highest aims and
purposes of the universal brotherhood

A LONDON cable Of g. recent date
has this to say on the Newfoundland
question: "The Newfoundland govern
ment is pressing the imperial government
to sanction the ratification of the treaty
with the United States negotiated by
MIR. Bond in 1890, and urges that there
be no further delay in order that the
treaty may pass the United States con-
gress before March 4. Lord Knutsford,
the imperial secretary for the colonies
appears to be reluctant to move in the
matter" There is one good way out OF
this difficulty, and that is for Newfound-
land to join hands with Uncle Sam and
let the imperial government look after
some of the other colonies.

THOSE OVERHEAD WIRES,

It is now four years since the Mime
apolis city council ordained that no more
overhead wires would be allowed inside
the fire limits, and the telephone, tele-
graph and other companies, that put up
miles Of overhead wires, were ordered to
put these wires underground. Since
then nothing, scarcely, has been done
with these miles of overhead wires, and
they are the same obstacles in the
way of fighting fires that they we're when
the underground conduit ordinance was
passed. Republican city council voted
tho National Subway company of Chicago
an exclusive franchise on underground
conduits, and the manager of this COM
pany tore up miles OF streets to get his
conduits down. But when they were in
place the other companies would not use
them, and then the trouble began. The
Edison company wanted to put III their
own conduits. and SO did the telephone
and telegraph companies, and so Manager
Dorsey was crowded to the wall, and the
city's streets were torn up just as often
as the different companies felt like put
ting their conduits down. It is said that
almost all the overhead wires in tho bust
ness portion Of the city are not in use
now, the companies owning them using
their underground wires. IF that is so
then why are these overhead wires al
lowed to remain there? We would like to
ask the city council if it is not nearly
time to begin to enforce an o dinance
that went into effect three years ago?
There is no sense in it all. Perhaps some
of the aldermen may not know anything
about this ordinance and if they do not
they had better acquaint themselves with
it as soon as possible.

MINNEAPOLIS securities are 10 the as
cendant, and this was never better illus
trated than it was a week ago when
eleven separate and distinct bids for
court house bonds were opened by the
members of the court house and city hall
commission. The bonds sold were $780,
600 of the AZ per cent county series, and
running thirty years. They were pur-
chased by the Farmers and Mechanics
Savings Bank of this city their bid being
49,, 075, or nearly 4 1.6 per cent premium,
the best price ever paid.fo our court
house bonds. OF course this is very
hattering premium, and the people of
Minneapolis have every reason to feel
proud of it.

ST.. PAUL may not have the auditorium
after all. Ipjunctions are mischievous
things, and the one now issued and in
force may prevent the auditorium pro-
ject from going through, ST. Paul should
have a building that would seat 10000
people at least, and because they lost
the Democratic convention they should
not lose the golden opportunity that is
within their reach now. By all means go
ahead with that proposed auditorium,
and not lose the greatest opportunity of
a life time.

ALIEN CONTRACT LA w,

It seems that the Alien Contract Labor
law is nothing but farce, if the reports
submitted to the secretary Of the treas
ury by the inspectors recently appointed
for that purpose are true Inspectors
Conklin and Osborne, Of New York, re-
Gently made an inspection tour OF the
mining districts in Pennsylvania and
Secretary Foster has their report before
him. A New York dispatch has this to
say of the report: "The report states that
they discovered evidence of the wholesale
violation of the law that was framed to
protect American workinsmen. In the
mines surrounding Scranton, it was
found that nine tenths Of the mir rs at
present employed are Hungarians OF
Slavs. Five years ago, the miners there
were nearly all Americans. At the Arion
mine, in western Pennsylvania, Maj o.
borne learned that Hungarian and Italian
immigrants come there in squads of 200
at time direct from the barge Office in
this city under charge OF padrones. AT
the mines near Carbonate in 1886, there
were 600 miners, all American citizens.
While the miners strike was on in 1889
and 1890 large numbers of Slays and
Hungarians were brought to the mines
from Castle Garden under the protection
of Pinkerton detectives. At the last
election out OF 7S7 miners emplo, ed
there, just sc were entitled to vote The
inspectors found that immigrants were
brought over from Europe in droves, and
were passed through the barge Office by
an agent and taken to the mines to super
sede American miners. There are several
men employed by the mine owners whose
sole duty is to visit the barge office and
get Immigrant contract laborers through.
One man in particular was nicknamed
the much Cousin Man, as he would
visit the barge Office and secure the re-
lease of detained emigrants, claiming
them as cousins, brothers or other rela-
tives." Now this is a nice state OF affairs,
and Republican office holders are to
blame for it. There is no excuse for GUS
toms inspectors at the seaport cities for
allowing these grave infractions OF the
law to GO on day after day. Under the
law, the man who imports contract labor
is punishable by heavy fine and i'm
and now that the insDpctOTs
have got a clue why do they not run
down the man or men who imported
these ]aborers. Secretary Foster should
do little more besides sending out in
specto1s. He should see that the men
who violate this important law are pun
ishea as the law prescribes.

Boss Quay, Of Pennsylvania, seems to
have got the best of the fight with the
Pittsburg Fost. Last Friday the jury
returned verdict holding the Post guilty
of criminal libel. This, however, does
not end the case by any means. The
Post does not get down on it's stomach.
and ask forgiveness from Quay, but it re-
turns to the fight with new and more
sensational charges than it first made
against Quay. 1t char. es that, Repub-
ican court, Republican prosecuting
attorney and Republican jury convicted
a Democratic paper of libel on leader
of the Republican party. It accuses the
county attorney and the court, in con-
junction with the attorney, of jury pack

trial in Allegheny county. The Post

AN OMNIBUS VICTORY,

English Liberals are jubilant over their
phenomenal victory last week in the
Rosseuda]e division. This division has
been represented by Lord Harrington,
leader OF the Liberal Unionists in the
house of commons, since the last general
election. On the death Of his father,
Lord Harrington became Duke of Devon
shire, and therefore, left the commons to
take a place among the lords This
caused a parliamentary vacancy in the
Rossendale district, and the Liberal
Unionists, assisted by the Toriee, made a
desperate effort to elect their candidate,
but they were not successful. The Lib
eral candidate, Maiden, received 6,O66
votes; while the Liberal Unionist,
Brooks, received but 4,S41 votes, ma
iority for MAIDEN of 1925 votes This is
almost complete reversal of the vote
cast when Lord Harrington was elected.
No wonder that the Liberals feel good
over the result. The Tories were conf
dent that the Unionists would succeed,
and the Unionists were equally confident.
Every effort was made by the Unionists
to elect their candidate, because of the
position Lord Harrington held as leader
of his party, but they we're not success
ful. Gladstone was particularly we'll
pleased when he learned the result, and
was not slow to wire his best wishes and
most hearty congratulations to tho sue
cessful candidate. The friends of Ire
land rejoice over this victory, for to Ire
land it is of much greater Importance
than to the Liberal party. 1t presages

Gladstonians. To think that the voters
Of Lord Hartington's district repudiated

begged them through the press and from
the platform to stand by him, is more
than the average Unionist can we'll stand.
Ireland's representatives appreciate this
victory equally as we'll as the Liberals.

The not-over-friendly relations that
existed between England's royalty and
the Emperor Of Germany before the
death of the Duke of Clarence and Avon
dale, has not been on the increase since.
It seems that the Kaiser did not trouble
himself very much over the death of the
heir apparent, for instead of ordering
court into mourning for three weeks he
went on hunting expedition and re-
manned out some time He did not even
then trouble himself about expressing
his sorrow to the British ambassador as

THE Turtle Mountain Indians are in a
very unsettled state just now, and all be-
cause they imagine that the government
has not treated them right. A Wash
ing1on dispatch has this to say of their
supposed grievances: ''The Turtle Noun
tain Indians in North Dakota are being
encouraged by certain claim agents with
the belief that the government owes them
something for the large amount of land
in North Dakota. This alleged claim
was settled many years ago, and it is only
injurious to the Indians to encourage
them in the belief that shey are entitled
to more consideration Senator Casey
believes that if some of the leading men
of the tribe should come to Washington
they would be shown just how the matter
stands and it would put an end to this
talk of large damages, and they would go
where the Indian officer directs them to
go and where they belong, at White
Earth agency in Minnesota" There is
no doubt whatever but that the poor In
dian has not been treated right, and when
Labouchere in his paper-London Truth
referred to the Washington Indian
bureau as "the most corrupt institution"
in this country, he came as near the truth
as any American ever did. A general
overhauling OF this bureau, as we'll as the
