TWO SERIOUSLY HURT.

The corner of Tenth and Cedar streets
at o'clock this morning had the ap-
pearance of an agricultural display at a
country fair. The melons, cucumberS,
potatoes and other vegetables scattered
about were part of the load of garden
truck belonging to S. A. Carpenter.
The owner, accompanied by George
Mapleton, drove to st. Paul from
point five miles north of
Minneapolis. intending to dispose
of the produce at the market here
Coming down Cedar street the team be-
came frightened at the noise in the
Edison electric light plant at TIL cor
ner of Tenth street and bolted. Car
penter and Mapleton, who were seated
on the top of the load, were thrown
from the wagon by the collision with a
telegraph pole and severely injured.

and MapletOn had his left arm broken.
Both men were also injured internally.
They were taken to the city hospital by
the Rondo street patrol wagon.

A WASTE OF TIME.

A WASTE OF TIME.
la one respect the British house of
lords is worthy of commentator, and
its example might be initiated with
profit by the senate of the United
States. When che Irish home rule bill
was sent to the lords, no time was wasted
in useless debate. In less than week
vote was reached, and, although the
result OF that vote was far from salts
factory, 1t relieved the nation of anxiety
and cleared the decks of parliament for
future action. How different it. is in
our country. The house, nearly month
ago, passed the silver repeal bili-an
act as essential to the material we'll
being OF the United States as the home
rule bill is to the political welfare of Ire
land. Instead of promptly meeting the
issue placed before it, our house Of lords
has wasted several weary weeks in idle
discussion and captious contention, and
the result is still in the womb of the
future.
We are apt to boast the superiority Of
our system of government over the
British. No doubt it has many excel
lences, but the facility with which an
INSCRIPTIONS and desperate minority
can delay necessary legislation is not
one of them. No good citizen desires
that the representative of any section
or any interest in either branch of con-
gress shall be denied the privilege of
hearing upon any matter of public
concern, yet there are occasions when
fha riUDf nf dah cDnnIh no NnrtqilQn
No one can say that the silver repre-
sentatives did not have full and fair
hearing In the house of representatives.
nor can any one claim that during
the long and weary debate in the SEN
ate any new idea or argument has been
advanced. The entire purpose of the
discussion has been to secure delay-to
postpone result which all acknoWl-
edge is inevitable. And after all these
weeks of discussion, of repetition and
reiteration, Of brag and buster. of
threatening and warning, the cry is
raised that the majority are attempting
to curb free speech simply because Sen
ator VOORHEES, has given notice OF his
intention to ask for vote on the bill on
the Goth of tine present month.
The silver defenders are indeed hard
to please. They have monOpolized more
than three-fourths OF the time Of both
houses during the present extra ses-
sion. and yet they are not satisfied.
There is apparently no end of their
volubility. 1t is asking too much, how
ever, to require that the business of the
whole country shall await their pleas
ure-shall suffer so long as they shall
feel disposed to talk. Mr.. VOORHEES,
should not wayer from his determine
ton to demand vote at the time he has
fixed. He has been already too liberal
in his allowance, and might have cur
tailed the discussion still more without
rendering himself liable to the charge Of
unfairness. He has given the silverites
an abundance Of rope, and they have
already hung themselves and their
cause. To give them more would be a
shameful waste of time that the public
would not c0ndone.

A VETERANS RETIREMENT,
j. Fletcher Williams Health Is
Ruined by Work.

y. Fletcher Williams Health Is
Ruined by Work.
The retirement Of j. Fletcher Will
Jams from the secretaryship of the state
historical society is subject of univer-
sal regret. The step is made necessary,
however, by his Droken-down condition.
He said of the matter yesterday: MY
condition, think, is due wholly to the
years l have spent in this basement of
the capitol. 1t is poorly ventilated,
musty and most despicable place. l re-
greet to leave, for l have been here
twenty-seven years, and devoted the best
years of my life to building up the
library and relics. [ am proud of my
work, and lay 1t down with deep sorrow,
but l should soon be in my grave were
l to remain here. My physician en-
courages me to believe that l can regain
my health, in part at least, by travelling.
So L shall go to California, perhaps to
Honolulu, and to other warm and health
full countries"
The state historical society was organ
lied in 1919 by a few of the pioneers of
the territory, and incorporated by the
lfll lO6lolutuIO OCls ~, 1910 L llC
original charter stated the object of the
society to be 1.-THE collection and pres
ervatiOn of a library, meteorological and
geological specimens, Indian curiosities
and other matters and Things connected
with and calculated to illustrate and
perpetuate the history and settlement
of said territory"
The amended charter of 1856 en-
larged the powers of the society aud
adopted this clause: TO cultivate
among the citizens thereof a knowledge
of the useful and liberal arts, science
and literature"
Mr.. Williams was elected secretary in
1866. The library contained less than
800 volumes. The legislatures had been
pursuing niggardly policy with refer
euce to appropriations for the iIlStItu-
ton. MIR. Williams saw that unless
larger means could be had the object of
tine society could not be realized. So
he turned politician i'll the inter
ests of his work. BY very hard
struggle he procured liberal appro-
priation from the first legislature which
convened after his appointment. He
secured still better appropriation from
the succeeding legislature, and kept up.
his work with the legislatures until
finally the state historical society was
placed OH the permanent list for appro-
pTiationS.
There are now in the library consid-
erably over $4,000 volumes, and a mag
nifcent collection of rare manuscripts,
relics, etc. 1t is Ole of the best his
toricai collections in the United States,
aud contains very many important
books, manuscripts, ETC., which are not
to be found elsewhere i'll the world.

says that the fate of this battle pre-
served forever all the institutions of
Western civilization. But it's not merely
in the more remote past that the Sons
of Poland are entitled today and on an
occasion like this to recall the achieves
ments of their race. 81
When the thirteen colonies by the
side of the Western ocean in 1776 drew
the flaming sword of a righteous revolu-
ton and proclaimed TO a startled world
new doctrines of civil liberty and
human rights, the flower of Poland re-
sponded 10 the call for action. One of
the bright names of American --orv,
for we claim him as our own. is the
name of the Revolutionary soldier,
Casimir Pulaski. He had fought i'll his
boyhood in the vanguard OF the army
of Polish liberty. and when defeated he
rendered his sword to the cause of
American liberty. By the side of
Washington lie faced the armies OF
Great Britain OF a hundred fields of
desperate light. lb the thirty-iir5t year
OF his age lie fell murtally wounded at
the siege OF Savannah. Ills hody was
committed 10 the ocean. By. the waters
of Savannah alid in the principal street
of that city stands tnday monument

He gave thanks for the honor of being
called upon to welcome the Catholic
Polish societies of the United States to
the beautiful city of ST. Paul. Proceed
ing, he said: when l look on the
delegates assembled and think of the
race they-Tepresent, l remember that
they are the representatives of a peO-
pie who have contributed manv bright
pages to the history of the world.
1t was well. he said, on an occasion
like this to review the debt of obliga-
lions due to the Polish people from all
the great governments of the world.
Two hundred and ten years ago the
Moslem power broke over the ramparts
of the Western world and threatened
the destruction of all the civilized gov
ernmentS. Under the leadership OF
Sultan who had never known defeat,
the Turk and the Mongol swarmed I'M
impeded to the west until their armies
lay encamped before the walls of the
imperial city o. Vienna. In terror and
confusion the Austrian court fed for
safety. In this moment of dire peril the
united voice of the Christian world called
tor rescue to the king OF the Polish peO-
pie. John Ill, John Sobieski, answered
unto the call and on the plains of
Austria, beneath the walls of Vienna
led the allied armies to battle for the
cause of all humanity. Raising as
their war cry the solemn words of the
psalm familiar to this gathering, Not.
unto us. o Lord. but unto Thy name
give glory" the Sons of Poland charged
the Mohammedan host. Sobieski, ac-
companied by his two sons, in person
led the attack. When the sun of even
ing sank behind the horizon his last
rays gilded the cross shining forever
triumphant over the crescent. The

BANQUET TO MITCHELL.
He Leaves Today for the United

benefit was given to Charles Mitchell in
ST. James hall last night. Pony Moore,
the father-in-law of the pugilist.
presided at the festivities, and
pugilistic lights present included
Jack McAuliffe. Frank Slavin, Teddy
Bailey and other leading sports. After
toasts to the queen and President
Cleveland had been proposed Moore
toasted Mitchell. and expressed the
hope he would return from America
the champion of the world.
Mitchell spoke in reply to his father
in-law'S praises. and said that if Cor
bett was as sincere as he was, he GER
taInly would fight. Mitchell SAID
that the fact that he was going to
America was proof that he meant
business, and if Corbett would not fight
it would not be his (Mitchell's) fault.
If good referee was appointed and
the American public were the judges
Mitchell was sure that he would get
fair show.
Mitchell leaves Euston Station at
