The work of organizing the various

MOB USED RIFLESI

Continued From First Pare
in it's effect, yet the excitement which
followed was no greater than the eX-
element which has followed today, as
a result of the riot and bloodshed on
the levee.
On all sides the riot was discussed,
while crowds of men poured into the
newspaper offices and called up by
telephone to learn the details of the
frightful affair
About the cotton exchange there
was the widest excitement. Promi-
nent members of that great CONNER
cial body collected at an early hour,
and were very much worked up over
the occurrence. They were loud in
their denunciations of Mayor Fitzpat-
rick, while many of them condemned
Gov. Foster in unmeasured terms for
his failure to do anything that would
put an end to the trouble. Many made
reference to the United States authori-
ties. There was talk heard of an ap-
peal to the general government, and
the advisability of communicating
with President Cleveland with refer
ence to having troops sent to the
scene of action. Most of the leading
members of the exchange fastened to
consult their lawyers, all Of the at
torneys who represent the ships
agents and the stevedores being early
in consultation with reference to the
terrible occurrence of this morning.
About the board of trade the riot
was discussed with less passion than
about the cotton exchange. The mem
/ bers of the trade body were not so d.
|. rectly interested as the members of
1 the cotton exchange, but in certain
way have been generally more clearly

was condemned in unmeasured tones,

was conceded generally that the ships

HoLIER THAN THOU PARTY.

If these exhibitions of thuggery
and disregard for law, order and
decency, given in such increasing
frequency by our Republican breth-
eren, are not stopped that party will
have to surrender its claim to pre-
emptive rights on all the intelli-
gence, decency and morality there is
in the country. 1t will lose that old
piece Of stage property which it has
made do service during every cam
paign for a quarter of century, the
cussedness, the pluguglyness of the
Democracy.
Not to go too far back, or to do
more than cite typical recent in
stances Illustrative of this decadence
in the party of order and morality,
there was that Denny brook fair affair
in the Chicago convention last week
where the arguments used were
spittoons, chairs, tables, fsticuffs
and profanity, and States and heads
were broken after the most approved
Bowery fashion.
Then there is that Republican leg
islature in Indiana that locks it's
doors, imprisons the governors sec
rotary in an elevator, assaults him,
when released and trying to make
his way to the speakers desk, mauls
him, takes up the shout heard in
Jerusalem eighteen centuries ago,
xiii him." assaults with chairs and
cuspidores the Democrats who are
trying to shelter the secretary and
let him get to the speakers desk
with his message, mortally injure
one representative, and all because
these representative of this law and
order party wished to prevent the
delivery of the message of the gov
ernor vetoing one of their partisan
jobs.
In the light of these larger illus
trations the effort to steal the city
assessorship appears small, but it
is as completely typical of conditions
as are the others.

intolerance Of spirit in this that
is un-American. If the wishes of
Minneapolis are reflected in the plan
no reason why that city should not
have it, as there is no reason why
city not preferring it should have
it forced on it, 1t is strange that
Senator Howard cannot see that the
surest way to let his city get the
form of government it wants is
through Senator Sheehan's bill, which
form it prefers. This removes all
objections, and also, what is not
less important, all danger of future
changes. 1t is not likely that the
senator's bill will long be satisfac-
tory to the other cities even if passed,
and it is among the possibilities of
the future that Minneapolis might
be forced to take a charter distaste-
full to her.
We have not yet met with any
satisfactory reason why an amend
ment to the constitution is necessary
to enable cities to frame their own
charters. We believe that it is COM
petent for this legislature to enact
law which will be a simple recogni-
ton of a right of home rule that
always existed in the people of any
community, and that has never been
surrendered, although it has been
denied by what is nothing less than
usurpation. Its only basis is the un-
American and repudiated idea that
the state, in a republic, succeeded
to the powers OF The despotic mon
arch restrained only by the limita-
lions placed on it in the organic
law. Believing this, we believe it
capable for the legislature to re-
turn its usurped powers, and that
such an act as that suggested would
be held to be only an act of re-
linquishment.

There were not more than twenty in

lively decline to pass judgment in
the matter. The questions involved
are those touching the right of search
OF merchant vessels upon the high
seas, and on this subject there is
and always has been a great diff
fenence of opinion and practice
among nations. The records of the
state department, however. show
that several rules limiting the search
right have been clearly laid down
by our own courts, and have been
accepted for the guidance of our
government in dealing with those
questions. In the first place. the
right OF search is a strictly beIIie-
erent right, which means that if
cannot usually be used in times of
peace. In the present case. there

ONE AN ENGLISH SUBJECT.
An International Aspect to the
Riot.


WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Brit
iSh officials here regard the present
trouble as part of the racial agitation
which has been going on for some
time, and which first broke out in con-
nection with cotton ships. The white
laborers of that section object to the
employment of negro labr on ships,
and to this feeling is attributed many
of the incendiary fires which have &C.
Cured. The progress of the trouble is
being closely observed by the British
officials, although they feel confident
that the local authorities in Louisiana
are doing everything possible to sup
press the disorder, and if the trouble
passes beyond control, The federal au-
thoritieS will take such steps as are
necessary to protect foreigners and
Americans alike.
1t is said that the complaint of the
Englishman Balm. injured in today's
riot, would first be submitted to the
British consul at New Orleans, who
would communicate with the foreign
office at London, or direct to the EN-,
bassy here, according to the ener-
gency. If the offense was shown to
be against Balm because be was an
Englishman, 1t is said, Sir Julian
Pauncefote would demand an eXplana>
ton. If, however, Bain's nationality
had no part in the affair. and he was
hit because he was in the mob, then
no attention would be given to the in
cident.
The action of the Italian government
at the time of the New Orleans lynch,
ing is cited as showing the diplomatic
aspect of the trouble. The lynchings
were against Italians as such, and
not against miscellaneous mob, in>
Guiding Italians. For that reason
Italy protested, and then summarily
broke off diplomatic relations with
the United States by having Baron
Fava demand his passports. The
United States ultimately paid an in
demnity to the families of those
lynched. 1t is said that the same
rule would now apply to ARRAYS
against Englishmen as such, but not
to miscellaneous mobs, including some
Englishmen.

Artillery Reports for Duty-MayOr
Takes No Action.
NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-The
president of the maritime exchange
has telegraphed to Gov. Foster asking
that troops be ordered out, and stating
that an officer of the British steamer
had been shot, and that international
complications may arise. The grand
jury is investigating the levee riots.
Coroner Maybe has been summoned as
witness. The police having made no
no arrests, Judge Noise has instructed
the grand jury to investigate and in
dict city officers who have been dere-
lict in their duty. The Washington ar
tillery has been ordered to report for
duty.
Mayor Fitzpatrick, who went to the
scene Of the riot when first notified,
returned to his Office at noon When
asked what he thought of the situa-
ton, he replied that he believed all the
trouble was over. He Gid not think it
would be necessary to call out the mill
tia.
/. Gen. John Glynn, commanding the
state troops, was seen this afternoon
by an Associated Press reporter and
asked what action the militia would
take in case of further trouble. Gen.
Glynn stated that he was engaged in
keeping Gov. Foster we'll informed
upon what was taking place here.
That orders received by him from Gov.
Foster would not be disclosed but
that orders issued by himself he could
make public, and he had not given any
awaiting the commands of the chief
executive.
A visit was then paid to the British
consulate on Carondolet street, be-
tween Canal and Common streets.
The consul stated that Capt Woods,
of the British steamer Engineer, had
called upon him in the morning after
Purser Balm was shot and made a
statement of the fact of the shooting
+ The consul declined to make any
statement as to what action would be
taken.

A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

We confess that we have been I'M
able to enter into the spirit of this
squabble that is going on between
a few disappointed and revengeful
adherents of the late but not deeply
lamented senator from the head
of navigation on the Mississippi river
and our choleric contemporary down
the street over the proposal of the
former to have the state capitol re-
moved to the city of flour and saw
dust. There is in it only a recru-
descence of the spirit Of the old CEN
sus imbroglio, a mutual outpouring
of the leftover gall then engendered
and a display of pettiness that Gre
ates only mixed feelings of amuse-
ment and disgust.
There have been annual and BIZ
ennial efforts to have the capitol re-
moved ever since Joe Rolette de-
feated the first attempt. Kandiyohi
county has come up smiling at each
recurring session of the legislature
with a proposition to have it moved
out onto the state lands in that
county, but the matter was never
looked on as meaning anything more
than an exhibition of loyalty to local
ity, and the bill was passed up with
only the usual parliamentary cour-
teSies.
That Minneapolis as whole wants
the capitol, is not true A vote
of that city would, we are confident,
defeat the proposition. 1t is not all
the good people of that town who
grow bristles on their vertebrae.
That there are some equity holders,
desperately holding onto their dirt
by the skin of their teeth, praying for
a boom, who would favor it as pos
sible means Of salvation is probably
true, but the animus of the move
ment is among those who are sore
at Washburn's defeat and want to
get back at st. Paul because it's del
egation did not stand by their ia
vorite.
That the state would consent to
the change even if the legislature
should ask the judgment of the vot-
ers, is probability that can find
place only in the frenzied magma
ton of a boom-busted speculator in
Minneapolis outlets. That city, with
it's millers' association, it's wheat
combine, its elevator combination,
and it's lumber associations, has not
been so considerate of the welfare of
the rest of the state as to have made
it eager to grant it any favors, even
when the grant did not entail a
heavy expense.
The whole movement is a bouffe
affair, little tempest in a dimin-
utive teapot; little vent-hole for
spite not fully vented five years
ago; a scheme SO absurd and I'M
thinkable that the very seriousness
with which it is met by our venerable
contemporary becomes amusing, and
make us doubt its possession of a
sense of the humorous and the ludi-
crous. With the state fighting in the
courts to recover its deposits in the
broken banks of Minneapolis, its pa
pers and busted boomers in asking,
or even suggesting the removal of
the capitol to it, are simply inviting
! the laugh.
