THE NEW COLLECTOR.

The president sent the name of Capt.
w. ii. Harries, of Caledonia. to the
senate yesterday as collector of internal
revenue for Minnesota.
The appointment is good one. AS
boy Mr.. HarrieS was one of the first
to enlist. and served throughout
the war, rising from the ranks to
the command of a company. That
this meant no mere dress parade, holiday
soldering may be inferred from the fact
that his command was part of Gen.
Ell Bragg's Iron brigade, and Bragg was
a general who never let chance to
fight get away unused. For twenty
years the captain has practiced law in
Caledonia, except during the two years
of his term in congress.
Without disparaging Dir. Lienau or
wishing to be taken as doing so. we re-
gard the appointment of Mr.. Harries as
the plainest expression the president
could make of the fact that no one or
two men control the appointments in
this state, and that Mr.. Cleveland is
disposed to weigh all these matters dis
passionately aud make the appoint
ments on his own judgment. The
state Democracy will fully appreciate
the significance OF this view of the ap-
pointment of Capt. Harries. That MI.
Lienau did not receive the appointment
is due, we believe, to the presidents
perception of the impolicy of centering
so many of these appointments in this
city. consideration Mr.. Doran seems
to have overlooked.
1t is probable that the selection of a
collector from outside of st. Paul I'M
proves the chances of the district attor-
neyship coming to this city.

AN ADKoIr REJoINDER.

Senator Morgan is very adrOit states
man. His answer to the Minnesota
Democratic association in the senate
day before yesterday shows this, and
warrants that confidence in his diplo-
macy which made HIM one of our coun.
sci in the Behring sea seal matter, and
has made him the senatorial sponsor of
the scheme of the Nicaragua Canal
company.
Our readers who followed the Wash
ington news while the Wilson DILL was
in the senate subcommittee will readily
recall that these men, who wish to re-
main with the Democratic party and
who yet are determined to disregard the
express command Of the party to pre-
pare and pass strictly revenue bill,
were reported as being active in their
efforts to get the committee to restore
iron ore and coal especially to the taxed
list. 1t was hardly a secret that Senator
Morgan and his colleague were among
these men. Their arguments that the
young iron Industries of the South
would be ruined if ore and coal were
untaXed were wired out and not denied.
Nor does the senator now deny it.
He does not say that ne would vote for
the Wilson bill, the one that the house
sent over to the senate. He is satisfied
with the bill now before the senate as it
came from the finance committee" But
this bin is not the Wilson bill. 1t wipes
out the one redeeming feature of that
bill-its free list. After having, with
threats. it is SAID, of open opposition TO
The bill unless ore and coal were taxed,
forced the committee to put them on the
taxed list, naturally he is satisfied
with it.
This is adroit, but it is not candid.
The charge of the association was that
these senators had made the bill pro-
tective one; that in so doing they had
defed the command of the party and
surrendered to the protectiorists the
fruits of the victory of 1892. 1t is not at
all question whether Senator Morgan,
or any senator, dissatisfied or not; but 1T
is entirely question if the BILLS re-
demption of the promises of the party,
an obedience to the direction of the
only body competent to declare what
measure will satisfy its members. That
it clearly is not, and these senators
cannot escape condemnation for not so
making it.
In this connection it is right to say
that the association erred in including
Senator Camden in its list. He is ex-
plicit in his denial that he endeavored
in any way to influence the subcom-
mittee to put coal or ore On the list.
The association in the dispatches of mis-
name with the others who wer doing
this misled the association.

One word in relation to the ssreform
administration" In the platform
adopted by the convention they claim
to have reduced the public debt $751;.
$685.
They might have kept the % cents in
the treasury. This sum has been in
creased 100000 by f. q. Rogers in max
ing a speech, which makes the total
S1,000.O00. | have no doubt by the end
OF the campaign he will have wiped out
the entire debt. OF all the absolute alb
surdities of this platform this bears the
palm. The public debt was reduced by
no act Of the present administration. but
by provision of the so-calied BELL
charter" making 1t mandatory on the
board of aldermen and the assembly to
levy a tax each year to pay the indebt-
edness of the city. Nearly half of this
reported reduction of the public debt
was assessed and collected by the
Democratic administration. Bear lin
mind we served and complied with the
conditions of the Bell charter nearly
fifteen months before the reform party
came into power. The accountant gen
eral of the city has only shown one side
of the ledger to the people; we will
show the other and strike the balance
during this campaign.
Il wish To saw one word in addition to
this. i have been ESPECIALLY gratified at
the position taken by the young men Of
this city in their almost unanimous
support of me. Lake this as almost
sure indication of success"
The address was frequently inter-
rupted by applause, and the cheering
and ent huSiasm was renewed as Mr..
Smith finished speaking. Recess WAS
then taken until 2.30 p. III.

name of Otto Haese before the conven-
ton. Thomas D. O'Brien nominated
John Twohy Jr. This seemed like
surprise to the friends of Judge Cory,
and Mr.. O'Brien was asked to withdraw
his nomination, but declined to do so.
William Hamm then moved the sus-
pension of the rules to nominate Judge
Twohy by reclamation. The motion
mas seconded by Cyrus Wellington and
others. and went through with cheers
that were repeated amid calls for Judge
Twohy, who was in the hall. He was

A vote was taken on the successor to
Judge Cory, and, after the wards had
been called, the delegations began to
change their votes amid much con-
fusion. A delegate from the Sixth
ward declared that the chairman had
not correctly announced the vote of the
ward. The ward roll was then called
by the chairman Of the convention, and
seven responded for Cory and four for
Hall. One DELEGATE declined to vote, so
that only 10S instead Of 100 votes were
cast. Of these Cory had fifty-four and

PUNISH THE DERELICTs.

For the fortieth time during the pres
ent session of congress, business is at
standStill in the house for want of
quorum. Members absent themselves
from the sittings whenever it suits their
convenience, OF refuse to vote on ques-
tons pending, SO that no business can
be transacted.
1t is getting to be about time for the
people to take action in this matter. If
their present representatives refuse to
discharge the duties for which they are
elected, they must be invited to step

at Market hall Yesterday.
1t was not the delegates alone, for
they only numbered 100, but the hun
dreds of spectators in addition who
crowded the spacious hall and supple
mented the enthusiasm of the cOnven-
ton.
1t was grand and gala spectacle, and
partook of the nature of an uprising
resolved to repair with compound inter-
est the mistake of two years ago.
While for many months there has
been much diversity of opinion among
Democra IS as to the wiseSt selec-

time for the crucial lest approached all
discord disappeared, and the Democrats
of st. Paul arose as one man and de-
manded the services of Hon. Robert A.

Stenteriau tones that he could not re-

before witnessed such popular out

All of these should he manfuily met.
and the candidate and platform of yes

ready to put the securing of good local
government ahead of partisan success.
The election of Mr.. Smith, which we
believe is sure to occur OH May l, will
be greater triumph for the people of
ST. Paul than many now appreciate.

When business man employs
salesman. a bookkeeper or an agent, he
does not pay him when he deliberately
all pcrsistently negIects his duty. but
fills his place at the earliest opportunity
by more conscientiuS and industrious

men were regulated by the same princi-
Piles. The man who abSenIs himself from
his post of duty in Washington is as dis
honest and as worthy Of blame as the en-
plOye of business house who absents
himself from his desk In business hours.
And he should be held TO the same ac-
cOuntability, and subject to the same
punishment-dismissal. Until an ex-
ample is made of these derelict servants
we need not expect that strict attention
to business which the good of the serv-
ice requires. and which the people have
a right to expect.
The congressman who absents him.
self from his seat is as much thief as
he who puts his hands in the money box
of the nation or of an individual, and
takes that which does not belong to him.
He takes pay for services that he has
not rendered-for goods he has not de-
ivcred.
The public can respect man who
votes wrong if he votes honestly. No
man has the slightest respect for a
sneak or dodger. He is as contempt

cannot even respect himself. for what.

If the present house of representatives
would save itself from the reproach of
the people and escape the execration of
all honest men of the present and all

people are in no mood to be trified with.
They pay their servants we'll, and have
right to require of them strict atten-
ton to business and a faithful dis
charge Of duty. This being refused,
they have the right to dismiss them,
and in justice to the country this right
should be exercised promptly, and with
out fear or favor.
No congressman who has unneces-

the house has the slightest claim upon
the consideration of his constituents.
He has not only forfeited all claim to a

any other Office of trust or emolument.
