A PATRIOTIC LETTER.

ST am now citizen, which position l
am determined to occupy. The thought
of acting with amy other than tho Dem
ocratic party never entered my head.
The whole object of the Rebellion
is to destroy the principle of
Democracy. The party which stands
by the government is the true
Democracy. Every soldier in the army
is Democrat. Every man who lifts his
head above party trammelS is Demo-
crat, and every man who permits old
issues to stand in the way Of vigorous
persecution of the war cannot, in my
opinion, have any claims upon the
party. If the city was on fire would
you call upon any particular party to
eXtinguish the flames? Or would you
stop to examine its charter for fear
that you might violate some of its pro-
visions by taking water from your
neighbours well?
"Should disaster befall our country in
its struggle for life true Democrats can
not be blamed. Those who have the
power and do not use it to It's fullest
extent. and those who are wasting their
time and distracting the people by their
idle discussion occupy no enviable posi-.
ton hereafter, Union or no Union.
II am for regaining and retaining
every foot OF soil we ever possessed
without any compromise whatever.
England. France. and perhaps other
countries that exist by depressing the
people, are anxious that we shall fail.
Great Britain, with Canada on the
North, France in full possession of
Mexico, were we not united would prove
formidable adversqres.
IF I have erred and am still In the
wrong, my Judgment alone has gone
astray. Time will determine whether

Therefore. Resolved, That in the
death or Hon. Henry M. Rice, full of
years and honors, we recognize the loss
of an illustrious citizen, devoted
patriot and wise statesman. who during
a long public life. in the most important
period of the nations history, has rem
dered services of inestimable value to
his stare, country and fellow men:

JUDGE FLANDRAU'S ADDRESS.
Following the reading of the memorial
Judge Flandrau said:
Mr.. President: Those who knew
Henry M. Rice in his early manhood
are reduced to the remnant of past
generation. A few of them exist, and L
am one of them. He was Vermonter,
and that is enough to say that he was
strong and manly man. He appeared
on the field of the Northwest at very
early day. He engaged in the principal
business that occupied the attention of
the early settlerS-the fur trade. He
was eminently successful in the terrible
struggles that divided the competitors
in that peculiar occupation, which was
proof of his superiority in intel
lect and physical ability. When
the country emerged from the
barbarism Of Indian trading to. the pos
sibiltty of civilization, he was foremost
in the ranks of promotion. When the
territory of Minnesota was organized,
who but Henry M. Rice was there to
represent it in the councils of the
nationP He was chosen its delegate to
congress for two successive terms if my
memory IS true at this late date-and
well did he serve his people. Our great
railroad land grants, which are the
foundation of all our prosperity, are the
conception of bis brain, and constant

which detract so much from men.
He spoke of his wonderful foresight,

Hatch, stakeholder in the Nicaragua
Canal company, by his counsel. ex-Goy.
Hoadley and j. c. f. Gardner, presented
petition and made motion that he be
permitted to examine the books of the

judgment made, and diversion of
property of the company. Mr.. Hatch,
the petitioner, is also chairman of tho
committee of stockholders who are op-

people if he had done nothing else for
our state.
When Minnesota was admitted into
the Union in 1858 he was one of its first
United States senators, elected with
Gen. James Shields. The only time |
ever knew the luck of Gen. Shields to
desert him. in long life of phenomenal
fortune, was when Rice drew the long
term for the senate between the two.
He lived in Washington during his SEN
atorial term like an emperor. His home
was open to all Minnesotians. His hos
pitslity was profuse and generous be-
You'd his or anybody else's means. He
was the close and intimate friend of
I such statesmen as Stephen A. Douglas,
Robert Toombs, John G. Breckenridge,
and others OF equal celebrity. He never
was an orator, but he welded an in
tluence at the capital that has never
been equaled by any senator or repre-
sentative that has since appeared for
us. IL was common saying that what
Rice wanted he got now: what his sue

A BAD EXAMPLE.


That was a most unfortunate remark
of Governor Tnlman's. of South Caro-
lima, to the effect that under certain
circumstances he would be willing 10

papers of that state repudiate the SEN
timent and administer to him severe
rebukes.

THE evil is the greatest drawback to
our civilization and prosperity, and it
is liable to manifest itself at awkward
times. We cannot justify it. 1t is idle
to apologize for it We must root it out
or accept the reproach and injury that
it entails on every community that

sit is a rather curious circumstance
that within two days after the publica-
ton of Governor Tillman's reaffirma-
ton of his willingness to lead a lynch
ing party against the committer of an
outrage, there should have been
lynchings in two adjoining counties Of
South Carolina, York and Lancaster.
In each case the victim was a negro,

lence.


The New York World appears to be
the only daily in the great commercial
capital which advocates the income tax
provision of the Wilson bill. But the
World proposes an amendment that
seems to be received with favor by
many of the papers which are not
hostile to the tax.
1t is that all incomes below $4,000 a
year shall be entirely exempt That
incomes between $1,000 and $4,000 shall
be taxed at merely nominal rate
say 1 per cent-and that incomes above
$4,000 which clearly represent luxury
and superfuous wealth, shall furnish
the bulk of the necessary revenue.
This seems to be a reasonable pro-
position and in line with the avowed
purpose of the income tax plan. 1t
should certainly be Invested of all op-
pressive features, and the aim TO make
those who are best able, bear the great
est portion of the burden of taxation,
ought to be reached in the most direct
and equitable manner possible.
The richest men of the country are
of course, the greatest opponents of
the income tax feature of the tariff
bill. And the fact that all the great
New York dailies except the World
vehemently fight the measure, is one
more proof among many that they are
conducted chiefly in the moneyed in
terest. that is the goldite interest,
which is the great cause of their in
tense hostility to the free coinage of
silver.
We hope and believe that the income
tax provision of the tariff bill will re-
main, unmoved unless it be by some
such amendment as that suggested by
the New York World.

THE LABOR ouTRAGEs.


The press dispatches from Colorado
concerning the Cripple Creek troubles
have been so contradictory that it is
difficult to determine the exact condi-
ton of affairs in that region. But it is
clear that the influence of Governor
Waite has been used more for the pro-
lection of the striking miners than of
the mine proprietors and other prop
erty owners in the district where the
disturbances have occurred. Also that
the striking miners have def1ed the law,
interfered with the liberty of labor
and held themselves in readiness to
destroy property not their own. That
places Governor Waite in a very re-
markable position as the chief execu-
tive of the state.
1t is understood that he is angling
for reelection, and is bidding for the
Populist and labor votes of the state.
We should hope there is no danger of
that calamity, and that if such an
emergency should arise, the better ele-
ments of the state will unite on some
good man of either party who will save
Colorado from further disgrace.
There is no thinking man of any
party who wants the working miners
oppressed or deprived of any earthly
right, civil or political. Public sympa-
thy is with laboring men in struggling
to obtain living wages and proper
hours of work. But that sympathy is
extinguished when they. resort to such
deeds of violence as those reported
from Cripple Creek. They arouse a
feeling of resentment and a determina-
ton to support every lawful endeavor
to crush out such conspiracies against
property and good order.
We believe it will prove to the ad-
vantage of labor unions throughout the
country to record their protest against
the outrages committed by striking
miners, whether in Colorado. or Illi-
nois, or Indiana or elsewhere. The VIC
/ lence against men who are willing to
work, the blowing up of bridges, the
use of dynamite and other explosives,
to destroy the very means by which
laboring people can earn a living. are
not only diabolical but insanely fatuit-
GUS
When public officials lend themselves
to such acts by encouraging the trans
gressors or shielding them from pun
ishment, they become responsible in
large degree for the crimes committed,
and ought to be deprived of further
power. The rights of property and the
right of every workingman to dispose
of his services as best he can, must be
maintained if it costs blood and money
to put down the combinations against
them. 1t is time that this We're fully
comprehended by every labor organ
ization in the country.

HARMONY Is NEEDED.

The various departments of the city
government have not yet established
that perfect harmony which is neces-
sary to the full and complete working
order of the entire municipal machin-
cry. There should be no rivalry and no
clash of any kind The police and fire
departments. the board of public works,
the other auxiliaries to the city coun-
ell, with the mayor, should all be anx-
ious to work together. each honoring
the other in it's sphere and anxious
principally for the public welfare.
We do not charge that there is any
disposition to the contrary. But that
there are jars and differences between
these bodies is frequently apparent
This probably occurs more from lack
of thorough understanding of the
powers and limits of each body and the
correct relations to each other, than
from any disposition ON the part of
either to intrude upon another or de-
prive either of any lawful right. It
appears to us that a friendly inter
change Of views, sometimes unofficial
ly. with a sincere wish to accede to
each other every prerogative and priv
ilege that is proper to be exercised.
would smooth the way to perfectly
harmonious action of the whole ma
chinery of the city government.
Tt is particularly desirable that the
very best and kindest relations shall
exist between the Mayor and the Coun-
ell, and distinct understanding as to
the scope of their respective authority
A little more experience and study of
the chartered rights and powers of the
city and its officers will no doubt lead
shortly to the consummation so de-
voutly to be wished.

The friends of Mr. Daley. who re-
ceived the mayors nomination for SUI
perntendent of the water works, need
not infer from the statements of fact
made by The Herald in relation to his
case. that anybody connected with the
paper is unfriendly to the gentleman.
He is recognized as a capable man, a
sound Democrat. and able to I'LL the
position acceptably. The Herald has
no reason to credit the reports concern
tag him any more than the mayor did,
and The Herald has no axe to grind
on the water works wheel.
