A ST. PAUL AUTHOR.

Franklyn w. Lee, one of the bright
newspaper workers of st. Paul. has
added TO the literary laurels he has
already won by an entertaining story
which occupies nearly one-half of
Godey's Magazine for January. 1t is
entitled "Ma'mselle Paganini," anu is
most appropriately illustrated by Leon
Durand. While it is a love story it is
not silly affair, but vigorous and
excellently written production. 1t
traces the career of young orphan
girl from tenement house IN
New York to her triumph on the
stage as violinist bot h IN New York
and the old world. but all the time
faithful to her love for poet compan-
ion whose acquaintance she formed at
the tenement Re sidence. The faithful
ness Of the woman and the doubts and
fears of the at times distracted lover
are graphically depicted. 1t is a pro-
duction worthy Of much more widely
known author than Mr.. Lee, and leaves
no room to doubt that he only needs to
continue his work and fame far beyond
his present local field, as well as fort
une, await him.
The newspaper fraternity of st. Paul
have just reason to be proud OF Mr..
Lee, and the GLOBE predicts for him a
brilliant literary career.

swept from existence with a rapidity
that would astonish the world.
The activity in our naval circles be-
tokens the approach OF crisis in Bra
lillian affairs. The impotency Of the
insurgents has been long manifest and
intensely aggravati ng. w lille pretend
ing TO establish blockade Of the Bra
lillian ports they have been poweffess
to render it effective. While maintain
ing bombardment of the capital they
have done inconsiderable injury, scarce
interfering with the ordinary course of
business or interrupting the social or
official functions in the city. 1t has
been farcical rebellion from the first
merely strife by few disappointed
men for control OF affairs after they had
been repudiated by the people. The
only prestige It has had was given 1t ton
account of its supposititious purpose of
restoring the empire. But this has not
been its declared purpose, and the in
surgent navy has no legal status. It
rises but little above the dignity of
piracy. and the vessels and men en-
gagged in it will have no cause for COM
plant if they shall be treated as pirates.
The energetic course determined upon
by our government may lead to speedy
termination of the conflict Sd long and
so absurdly maintained.

THE PINE LANDS.

The one mistake State Auditor Bier
mann made was to adopt the rule of his
Republican predecessor. - Kanabec
journal.
The Aitkin Age, commenting on Au-
ditor Biermann's explanation. says:
The whole state knows that if he was
not Democrat his personal integrity
would never have been asSailed
Let the public know how it came
about that the pets ot the former audi
Tor came into possession Of so much
pine and mineral ore. We understand
that the former state auditor is worth
about million dollars Sank Rapids
Free Press
This is not war on a Democratic
state auditor, but it is a fight for the
rights Of the people-of the common
schools-against gang of plqnderers,
and we hope to see it carried on till the
last one of the ringsters cries enough
st. James Journal.
State Auditor Biermann has made a
clear and concise statement of all his
acts in the pine land case about which
SO much has been said aud done, and 1t
ought to convince any tair-minded man
that he, at lea>t. bad no connection
with wrong doing, if there was any in
the case.-New Ulm News.
The censure of State Auditor Bier
man because of his connection with the
pfne land case recently decided by the
judges OF the district court is wholly
uncalled for, and is more for political
effect than reflection upon Mr.. Bier
mann, whose reputation for hone ty
and integrity is above suspicion. Sank

CLERKS FOR THE MEMBERS.

CLERKS FOR THE MEMBERS.
The house has at last laid down its
arms in the long struggle with the
senate over the allowance of a clerk or
secretary to each senator, and evens up
by allowing each member of the house
one as we'll. There has been in this OPP
position more of the timorousness of
the politician than the resistance of
economy. Fear Of the average voter,
who cannot understand why a rep
resentative should need clerk, and
why he cannot be present in the house
and at the same time make the round of
all the departments in the city of really
magnificent and tiresome distances, and
who regards the life of his member as
one of splendidly compensated ease, has
deferred representatives from asking
what every one of them feels the con-
slant need of if he is to perform his pub
lie duties and give heed to the multi
farious demands of his constituents on
his time.
''If answering those letters" said a
congressman, pointing to a basket
heaped high with letters frGm his con-
stituents, "were all there is to do, |
could get through it easily, but each
letter means visit to some department
or some one of the innumerab!e di-
visions, and an hours talk with some
one who either can't act or won't, or
who defers action and compeis repeated
visits. 1t is this that eats up my time,
and worries both mind and body, and
makes il imperative either to neglect
my work on the committees or in the
house or to offend friend by seem
ing neglect"
Like a great many other shadows
which alarm needlessly, this fear of
censure will melt away before the COM
mon sense of the voters when the men,
bers have the courage to approach it
and demonstrate its want of substance
by voting allowances for clerk hire.
There will be some captious criticism
by hostile and narrow partisans. but the
average man wants his representative
to be able to attend to all his duties,
whether to his constituents having in
| terests in the departments or to the
public having Its greater interests IN
the congress; and if a clerk to run er-
randS in the departments, get informa-
ton, answer letters and take off the
member the drudgery of his work, leav-
ing him free for his larger duties, is
necessary, there will be no objection to
! it that any member need fear.
Where, however, the clerkship is
| merely subterfuge to provide some
newspaper with correspondent at
Washington, either partly or wholly at
the expense of the public, as we know
is the case in two instances In this
state, then there is an abuse of a public
confidence which deserves severe repro
baton. If such members have no such
demand on their time as would inter-
tere with their public duties in the
house, then the p have no need of clerks
and not very keen sense of honor
should prevent their employing one at
the public cost, even if it does advantage
the organs of their party.

Ii the Democrats in the senate and
house have any spunk In them they
will take the Wilson bill and cut out of
it every trace of protection when it
comes in for action. The committee
itself is fully justified in revising it's bill
even now on the lines of revenue SIM
ply. The consideration shown these
infants is wholly wasted. They bawl
and scratch and kick at the slight de-
crease in their pap as much as they will
Ii it is all taken away. Ridicule and
abuse are heaped on the heads of the
Democrats by all of them and their Or
gans. They are denounced as destruc-
tionists. as incapables, as towards, as
sneaks. as recipients of goods obtained
under false pretenses; and all because
they have been mistakenly tender of
these lmpudent and audacious beggarS.
However much the committee have felt
bound by consideration for conditions
they did not create, but whose existence
they felt obliged to recognize and deal
with, this torrent of abuse absolves
them from it, and leaves them free to
redeem to the letter the pledge given to
and accepted by the majority of the
voters. If the Democrats have spark
OF manly resentment left in them, they
Will rewrite the schedules and make the
duties levied serve the single purpose
OF revenue for the government.
