COMMERCE AND DEsTRoYERs.

Some miscalculation of the
strength of the ways, down which
the City Of st. Paul was to glide
into the waters henceforth to be her
home, caused them to sag beneath
her weight when the bracings were
removed, and prevented the launch,
causing delay which entailed moth
ing more serious than a delay of a
day or two and some chagrin on the
part of newspaper men, who, assum-
ing that the launch would go on ac-
cording to programme, prematurely
treated it as fact accomplished.
The Twin Cities have now each it's

Joel Is Non-CommittaI.

spoken to yesterday concerning his
gubernatorial ambition, Congressman
Heatwole took occasion to challenge
the correctness of an article published
under Washington date. He said he
is not candidate for governor. But
from the general tenor of his talk. If
is not stating the proposition too
broadly to say that the Mortified
statesman is decidedly willing to be
CHOSEN as the standard bearer Of his
party in the next state election. Heat
wole is strong in some sections. and he
has been on the inside of the state
committee long enough to know lust
now manipulations should be con-
Quoted to accomplish the best results.
Minnesota is Joel's home, and he
really does not like Washington. as he
admlts. He is clever and forceful in
many respects, stands we'll with a.
great many OF the editors of the state.
anu "heh congress meets he will not
lose any point that can be made. if he
snail make up his mind to enter the
race. That he will do this seems now
reasonably we'll assured.
Here, then, is the situation as il
presents itself at present: Gov.
Clough, nervy, a magnificent fighter.
and in the prime of life, rich himself
and with all the patronage of the state
at his command, will make it the eff
fort of his life to be nominated and
elected governor. John L. Gibbs Is
an openly announced candidate and
IN his position as the Republican
Nestor Of the house he is bringing TO
bear on legislation all the practical
lessons Of his extended experience
with the farmers and the quiet ele-
ment of his party he is ahead of anv
other candidate, perhaps, but in a
convention he may not show up dam
gerously strong. Speaker Van SAINT
and Congressman Heatwole are will
ing, but bit bashful for the present
ana the man who captures the nomi-
nation will have to fight for it. Van
SAINT is not man to be despised if he
goes into a scrimmage for business.
Last of all in the public mind. but a.
magnificent man in the eyes of those
who know him, is State Senator James
L. Wyman, of Minneapolis. No doubt
he will be leading candidate for the
honor If his friends can induce him to
enter the field. All in all, SO promises
to witness several of the hottest con-
vent1ons ever held in Minnesota.

THE PASSING CROWD.

Minnesota politicians-of the Repub-
lican brand, of course-are more alert
and interested in the possibilities of
next year than they ever have been
before with an election so far ahead.
This fact is especially noticeable to
any one who visits the hotels daily
and knows the men who are congre-
gated therein. The article published
in the GLOBE of Sunday regarding
the intention of a certain crowd of
powerful politicians to give Senator
Davis the Minnesota delegation to the
next national convention has stirred
up a great amount of talk. This is
not strange, because it simply present
ed In definite form plans that have
peen discussed more or less openly for
some time back.
Not all of the politicians agree with
the conclusions of the article, however.
AS one man put it, Merriam is mis-
placed in that scheme" He went on
10 argue that the ex-governor and
banker can do better for himself than
10 simply help Davis to a higher
place IN order to get a free field for
the senatorship. my own notion is"
SAID the gentleman, that Merriam is
going to endeavor to arrange for a
Mckinley delegation. Then, if the
ONO man should be nominated and
elected, Mr.. Merriam could probably
go INTO the cabinet. 1t is all non
sense, L think, to assume that he
would rather be senator from Mime
sofa than cabinet Officer

WHY NOT BE LOGICAL.

Repeatedly we have asked some adj
vocate of the free coinage of silver
at a ratio which assumes that sixteen
ounces of silver were of equal value
with one ounce of gold, while the
world of trade and commerce were
buying and selling it on the basis
that it takes from thirty to thirtv-
two ounces of silver to get an ounce
OF gold, why they did not demand
instead the reduction of the num-
Der of grains of gold in our gold
coins. We have failed as yet to re-
ceive any reply, and we confess orr
inability to comprehend the silence
assuming that these good people are
sincere in their belief, and are willing
to accept thir own logic.
The cruX of the whole contention
is that silver has remained station
airy in value, and that it is gold that
has appreciated. In proof of this.

Judge Litt1eton Argues.

An article in the GLOBE of Saturday
has aroused the people of Dodge coun-
ty, who expect to have further trouble
over the question of county seat re-
moval sooner or later. Judge Samuel
7. Littleton, of Mantorville, had this to
say to a reporter yesterday, at the
Merchants:
House File COL, introduced by Mr..
Wright, and known as the county seat
bill, would be unconstitutional, in my
opinion. 1t seeks to provide that no
county seat shall be located at, or re-
moved to, any part of the county that
is not the geographical center of such
county; and further, that such loca-
ton must be upon the line of a rail-
road. That would certainly abridge the
right of the taxpayers and voters of a
county to exercise their best judgment
freely and without restraint. l do not
think that the passage of an act of
this character can deprive the people
of a county Of the right to locate the
seat of county government where they
please. For instance, there are many
counties in the state, if I am correctly
informed. that have no line Of railroad
running through the geographical CEN
ter. In case like that the law would
be the cause Of mischief and Injustice

an INTENSITY interesting play and holds

a story of peace and love twenty years

the Louisville Courier-Journal, said
of "Alabama:" at is the olive branch
of peace. Its acceptance as a sue
cessful play by both communities is
proof that the war is over, and it's
phases can be discussed without en-
rendering i'll feeling. 1t is a sermon
to the American people, and it's lesson

SLATTERY AT MEMPHIS.
His Presence Nearly Caused a
Riot.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 25.-Ex-
Priest Slattery lectured at the Audi
forum tonight for the second time
within week. On the occasion of his
first appearance no notice was taken
of him by the leading Catholic people
in the city, and there was no trouble
whatever. Tonight, however, the
meeting came near ending in serious
disturbance, and but for the ex-priest's
hurried exit from the city while the
excitement was at it's height, he might
have encountered rather severe treat
ment. On the night of the first lecture
extraordinary precautions were taken
by the police to preserve the peace.
Officers in citizens clothes We're freely
distributed throughout the audience,
and a good-sized guard about the doors.
A big crowd filled the auditorium,
and while it was evident that MANY
were present who did not sympathize
with Slattery's utterances, there was
no sign of disorder until the close OF
the lecture, when a man in the center
OF the house arose and excitedly
shouted: you're a liar; you're a liar

MUTE EVIDENCE OF MURDER.
Siekening Discoveries in a B. & o.
Box Car.

{ TOLEDO, O., March 25.-What is
taken to be evidence of a brutal
murder was discovered in a Balti-
more & Ohio box car which arrived
over the Michigan Central from De-
troit yesterday morning When the
car was opened there was a pool
of blood in the center, beside which
were number of bloody stones
which had been used as weapons
presumably upon the head of the
unfortunate victim. The sides of the
car and even the roof were bespat-
tered with blood, and a bloody
necktie near the scene of the strug-
gle had probably been wrenched
from the throat of the victim during
his struggles. AS nearly as could
be judged from the marks and tracks
inside the car the victim had been
assailed by two men. He had been
thrown down and beaten within a
few feet of the side door, and, after
being killed or reduced to insensi-
bility, his body had been dragged
to the door. Prints of bloody fingers
showed that this had been opened
and then the victim thrown out
The door had been closed from the
inside, after which the two occlI
pants had made their exit by the
opposite entrance.

assert is simultaneous and universal
in the prices of all commodities par
alieling that of silver. If this is
its; if it is fa1sey their whole fabric
of argument falls to the ground.
But, assuming for the purposes of
argument that it is true, that gold,
under the greater demand for it,,
has risen in value, and that, the
values of all commodities being
measured by it, they have fallen
as it has risen. Then what does
the logic of the conditions demand?
Values of all products, including
silver, are normal; it is only that
of gold that is abnormal. If wheat
is really worth today a dollar a
bushel, measured in terms of silver,
and but fifty cents, measured in
terms of gold, then it is evident that
the gold measurement is wrong, and
needs readjustment. 1t takes too
many grains of gold to buy the BUSH
Ell of wheat; not too many grains of
the uncoined, but of the coined gold.
The gold dollar, with it's 1922 grains
of fine gold, has at present about
twice too many grains of gold in
it. If it had half as many, then
it and the standard silver dollar
would be on parity; the one under
the fire test would be worth as
much as the other. Melt them down
and the bullion in each would be of
equal value.
Certainly and clearly, if the value
Of gold has appreciated, as COM
pared with silver and all other COM
modities, then the logical step is
to pull gold down in our coinage.
We do this in other matters. If
wages, as measured by value of
product, are too high, we reduce
them. If freights are excessive, as
measured by, say wheat, the effort
is to reduce them. Why waste eff
fort in trying to lift the enormous
bulk of produce values, including
silver, up to the gold level when
the same end can be so much more
easily attained by pulling the single
thing, gold, down? Not the gold as
a product, not as bullion, for Iegis-
lation cannot reach that, but in it's
shape as a coined measure of value?
1t is the simpler, easier and more
logical thing to do.
But the silver producers, and those
whom they have inoculated with
their sophistries, do not ask this.
and that they do not should set every
candid person to questioning their
motives. Does it not reveal the
naked selfishness underlying their
affected concern for the poor farmer
and the poor laborer? Does it not
show that they only want to use the
power of the government to raise
the value of their product up to that
of gold? If they can compel others
to practically pay them $129 an
ounce for their silver, is there any
room for doubt that they will be
Indifferent whether wheat goes up
proportionally or stays where it is?
Does any one imagine that a ukase
giving them S1.29 an ounce for their
silver will also double all other
prices? The illogicality of their de-
mand unmasks their purpose, and
should drive from them every hon
est man.
