DONNELLY,S ACNNO WLEDG-
MENT.

1t has been very much the fashion of
Alliance and Populist orators and speak
ers to denounce, without exception. the
daily newspapers of the Twin Cities as
mere organs of the corporate interests
of the state. They have all been indis-
criminately bundled together as a lot of
papers whose souls and pencils were
not their own: and, however they might
amble among the pastures of general
topics, they always felt and obeyed the
pull of the masters lariat when they
would discuss social or economic ques-
tious. There is some foundation for
this, partly due to the fact that the
stockholders of some of these papers
hold stock IN the corporations which
have some interests antagonistic to
those of the public. and partly to the
sympathetic views of the editors with
corporations, due to the influence of So
cial contact with the retinementS and
comforts which wealth assures.
The GLOBE, striving earnestly to be
truly Democratic. to be the paper Of the
great mass of the people. to advocate
their rights, to espouse their cause, to
defend them from inroads on their lib
critics, to hold an even balance between
all men. insisting that corporations have
rights which they should have without
purchase. and that they should not have
by purchase or otherwise what they are
| not emitted to. has felt keenly the in
| justice of being included in these dia-
tribes. 1t has, however, pursued the
| straight path, conscious that it was
| right, and that ultimate acknowledge
ment of it would come from fair-minded
| opponents.
The most virulent of our assailants
has been Mr.. Donnelly, and from him
| comes, in his Representative. a hand
some acknowledgment Of error. Max
Ing the change in the management of
the u LOBE his text, he makes liberal
| extracts from our editorial columns to
show that "a change has come over the
spirit of its dream" and comments
splendid for the GLOBE. We reach

this frank acknowledgment we send
our CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Donnelly for
his very evident progress towards that
Democracy which underlies and gives
motive force to the party, however false
to it leaders may be, however far short
of promise performance may sometimes
fall, however mistaken may be efforts
to redress wrongs and mitigate bad con-
ditions. and which is still the soul of
the party, and on which rests the safety

Steenerson's Defeat.
Polk County Journal.

Polk County Journal
Though the Polk county candidate,
Mr.. .Steenerson, had outside help enough
to have given the nomination to him,
the bitter personal fight made upon him
bya little cOterie, who, if they cannot
rule, prefer to ruin, defeated him. Mr..
Steenerson comes out Of his fight un-
tarnished and with nothing 10 regret.
having run clean campaign, having
been the choice of the large majority of
the rank and file of the Republican
party in Polk county. But what can we
say of the SchemerS who worked so hard
to get delegates enough TO control the
convention-failing in that, tried so
hard to gain control of the convention
as it was composed, and, after this
failed, resorted to the means that they
did to deprive Polk county of repre-
sentative in congress? We cannot
imagine how man can be constituted
who will deliberately 90 10 work against
the best interests of his city and county
to rob her of so important position in
time like this. and it is fact that this
was done for with no opposition from
his home county. Mr.. Steenerson could
have been nominated and if nominated
could have been elected. If there is any
consolation to those who struck such a
dastardly blow to the interests of our
city ana county in the reflection that
their schemes were successful, we will
leave them to the enjoyment Of all the
consol alton they can get out OF it.

THE MAYOR, JOHNSON AND
CHAPLIN.

Not bit abashed by the probable
criticisms of Assemblyman Johnson. the
GLOBE rises to emphatically declare
that the action of the assembly, as set
forth by MIR. Johnson and sustained by
quasi-opinion of Assistant Corporation
Attorney Chaplin, is illegal in the face
of the provisions Of the charter. Moth
ing can equal the nerve displayed by
the little member, who, rising upon his
dignity, ass ills the mayor of the city
and stigmatizes his action in vetoing
resolution as an act of assumption.
That the so-called opinion of Mr..
Chaplin would not hold water in any
court goes without saying. That the
statements of Mr.. johnson upon the
floor of the assembly were in themselves
without warrant and practically an in
suit to Mayor Smith. cannot be denied.
Chapter 5, section of the city char
ter provides as follows: All ordinances
and resolutions shall, before they take
effect, be presented to the mayor, and II
he approves thereof he shall sign the
same; and such as he shall not sign, he
shall return to the common council at
| their next meeting, with his objections
thereto, by deposting the same with
! the city clerk. TO be presented 10 the
com mon council at their next meeting
thereafter Upon the return OF any
ordinance or resolution by the mayor,
| the vote by which the same was passed
| shall be reconSidered, and If, after such
| consideration, the common council shall
| pass the same by a vote OF two-thirdS, IL
| shall have the same effect as If approved
| by the mayor.
Clearly, then, the action of the assem-
| bly, on Thursday night was illegal in
more ways than one. In the first place,
| the resolution was sent to the mayor III
| accordance with the law. And, having
| gone that regular course. he had per-
| feet right to veto the same. In the Sec
end place, having gone through the reg
ular channels, there was but one action
| possible. and that was to reconsider the
vote by which it was passed, 5 the mo-
ton made by Mr.. Strouse demanded.
! This was also neglected, and for the
pungent reason that the opposition
could never muster the requisite two
thirds vote to pass it over the mayors
| veto.
The resolution in question is not one
affecting the assembly alone, as Mr..
| Chaplin would have the public believe.
1t Is one looking 10 material and lmpor-
tant legislation, affecting every depart
ment Of the city government. AS a re-
suit, although the assembly has de-
cided to proceed without the slightest
regard for Mayor Smith, any and all ac'
tions taken under these circumstances
will b. clearly and absolutely illegal.
Mayor Smith kept within the proviS-
ions of the charter. The upper legis-
lative branch of the city government
elected to frame laws. has overridder
| them.

AT THE METROPOLITAN.

M. L. Curtis will revive at the Metro.
p0litan on Sunday night his "!SanI OF
Posen The Drummer Up TO Date," re-
written and brought up t. the present
time by Charles Alfred Klein, the
author of several of our late well known
comedy successes. "Sam'l of Posen,"
the part played by Mr.. Curtis. is
peddler of vim, who becomes chief
salesman in jewelry shop owned by
the uncle of his friend, Jack CheviOt.
Jack is made the victim of the wlles of
an adventures. Wno has secretly mar
ried his brother and is dismissed from
tile service of his uncle in disgrace. In
the second act. the adventures sue
ceeds by drugging Samuel and robbing
him of lot of valuable diamonds
belonging to the store. The last act is
devoted to clearing up the complications
and discovering the criminal. LIN its
original form ''Sam'l of Posen" was a
very amusing play, and. Judging of
reports from other cities, Written Up
To Date" i; is said to be more amusing
than ever.

FAMINE THREATENS.
Chinese in Critical Position

VICTORIA, 3. c.. Aug. II. - The
steamer Empress of Japan arrived this
morning from the Orient, having left
Yokohama Aug. 5. War was form
ally declared Aug. 8, the pruclama-
tion being received with rejoicing
throughout Japan. officers and men
coming from all corners of the
empire. Owing to the enactment of
new press regulations on Aug. l, the
japanese papers give only meager de-
tails. strongly colored for Japan read
ers of war happenings, the new laws
decreeing that editors publishing any
thing ABOUT the war without lis first be-
ing formally corrected and approved by
government officers appointed for the
purpose, are liable to Imprisonment
with hard labor for term of months ard
to fine. News is given in the
English papers of Yokohama of numer-

of j pan did not call at Kobe or Nagaski
this trip, nor will any trans-Pacitic
liners do so until the conflict is over. Lii
Hung Chang has been memorialiZed by
Gen. Chi, commander of the Chinese
troops at Jasan, to withdraw his forces
at that point, as the Japanese are too
strong 10 be successfully opposed.
Famine is menacing the Chinese
forces at that point owing to the diff
fculty in securing supplies. CHI pro-
poses that forces should be Withdrawn
entirely and combination made with
the troops marching overland to conSti-
tute material for new campaign. The
report that a large force of Chinese
troops are being marched overland, and
that they are now almost on the borders
of Korea appears TO be authenticated bv
latest advices. When Yum left Seoul
he gave instructions to the head OF
the powerful Ming family that he would
return to Korea with a large army. Not
only were ali demands of Japan to be
refused, but officials belonging to the
independent party suspected of jap
anese inclinations should be imprisoned
and the ringleaders punished with
death
An engagement occurred at Seikwan
on July so. The Chinese were driven
back with heavy loss, and the Japanese
troops continued toward Azan.

The people of the West side need give
themselves no uneasiness in regard to
the possible condition of the resolution
resembling the opening and widening of
State street. That resolution has prop
erly passed both branches of the coun-
Gil, and was sent to Mayor Smith for his
approval. The law states that unless
he either sign or veto the same within
five days after receiving. any ordinance
or resolution shall become operative.
And that is exactly the status of the
resolution in question, notwithstanding
the fact that MIR. Lewis has mysteriously
asked for its return. Plainly put, Mr..
Lewis has no legal right to ask that it
be returngd. The city council has per-
formed all of the necessary duties that
it can legally perform, as far as the reso-
luton Is concerned, aud cannot reach it
in any other way, except by entirely
new action. The ordinance is law by
limitation; all ideas to the contrary are
mereSt boSa.

The Globes Democracy.

Hutc hinson Democrat.
The st. Paul GLOBE. under its new
management, is more Democratic and
courageous than ever. In its Monday
issue il bubbles all over with Demo-
cratic hope and inspiration. 1t urges
the next Democratic state convention to
be prudent and very deliberate, and
advises the overthrow of the Old Man
of the Sea, who has had his grip upon
its throat. and is strangliug it to death.
The GLOBE, through It's iong-dstance
telescope, sees chance for victory in
every congress district in Minnesota ex-
cept the Second ana the Seventh, which
1t thinks ought TO be left to Populist
Boen to be elected over a Republican.
This is bad advice if it is intended to
make an effort to eject Democratic gov
ernor, for. under the GLOBES policy,
there would be no Democratic party in
the Seventh district.

ST. Louis, Aug. 17.-Hon. Richard
c. Kerins, the Missouri member Of the
national Republican committee. will
leave for New York tomorrow for the
purpose, it is said. of consulting with
members of the national committee
as to the best way Of cast
ing the A. P. A. adrift. 1t
will be remembered that resolution
presented by MI. Kerins at the Missouri
Republican convention this week was
turned down. Mr.. Kerins, in an inter-
view this evening. said Of the prospects
of Republican success in Miss ouri this
fall:
IL think that our chances are ex-
cellent. The menace to success is the
attempt of the A. p. A. to attach itself
to the Republican party. We don't
want them. Nobody knows who they
are or how many there are of them.
They are band of fanatics who deny
their own identity. They are a lot of
sandbaegers in politics and my frie nds
and myself know who they are. They
belong to no political party. Their doc
trine is almost the same as that of Or
angemen of the Dominion of Canada.
The Republican party must divorce
itself from the A. P. A.and other secret
political organizations"

Treachery to Party Interests.

Indianapolis News.
There is every reason to expect the
consummation Of the most disreputable
job that ever disgraced the records of
federal Iegislation-more disreputable
than the Mckinley outrage, because it
involves treachery to party interests"
Thus speaks the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. and it is but an echo of the gen.
eral expression of the Democratic press.
But there is this consolation to be
drawn from it: If the disgracetul record
is completed, it will be the last humilia
tion OF the kind that great party need
to undergo. because those who have
humiliated it, the Brlce-Gorman sugar
gang. viii no longer have place nor
authority in the party. They will be
recognized to be what they are-the
agents of private interests-and so will
not be able to WELD party strength to
further their designs in the future.

Moses Welden, an aged farmer liv-
ing few miles from Fort Plain,
was buncoed out of S4,SoO today
by two strangers whom he met OIL the
highway. In the usual manner they
induced him to play cards. Moses won
$500 and became enthusiastic. One of
the strangers then offered TO play for
$1,000. Weldon drew the money from
the bank at Fort Plain and pro-
ceeded To play again. 1t was
agreed TO put all the money
in one box which should be given to
the winner. Weldon won and was
handed the box which lie supposed
contained the money. On returning
home he opened the box and was
astounded to find only a couple of old
newspapers, Il stone and note warn
ing all against the danger of gambling.
No clue has been discovered as to the
