WROTE TO TIE {
How a Childish Trust Was

Some time ago the attention
Of Philadelphia mother was
attracted TO her little boy by
the fact that lie lay at full
lergth on the library floor,
evidently deeply involved in
the intricacies Of lettes writing.
All inquiries as to tie purport
and proposed destination of tho
laborious production fniIed- to
elicit further remark than an
advice to wait awhile" At
last the missiye ended with Il
scrawling superscription and
an immense sigh Of relief, and
it was proudly borne to the
father ana mother that they
might be afforded an opportun-
ny of expressing their entire
appreciation, which was evil
IDENTITY expected. Imagine their
surprise when their eyes fell
uDOn the following:
Dear Gar. Since the death
of your father you must have
received a great deal Of foreign
postage stamps on letters from
your friends who were sorry
for you. 1 am collecting post
age stamps and if you will
please send me 4 good lot Of
yours l will send you some
American ones in return."
The parents at first laughed
It the idea, bnt the little man
was 60 evidently pleased with
this idea Of his young brain
that they finally determined
TO allow him to mail it, never
;mo ginning that it would really
fall beneath the royal gaze.
With both the parents and The
child the thing was already
fast becoming a thing of the
forgotten PAST, when the mail
of few mornings ago brought
the young fellow a rather bull
ky envelope, bearing upon it
tue seal and arms OF the royal
honse Of Russia. To The little
fellows delight be found on
opening ii that it was packed
with stamps ofall natiopaliiies.
The labprrd missive had evil

and had spelled out to the
heart of the man, in all the FIX
citement of his coronation cere-
monies. such a message of
childish innocence us made re-
fusal impossible.

MR.. BRYAN TALKS.
Says Neither Yes Nor No TO
the Populist Nomination.

Hon. VIM. j. Bryan tonight
made the following statement,
"When the populists decided
to nominate the vice president
first, Senator Jones, chairman
Of the national democratic com
mittee wired me as follows:
"PopuIisls nominate vice pres
ident first. If not SewaIl what
shall | do9 I favor your decli-
nation in that case"
II wired immediately as
follows: Il entirely agree with
you. Withdraw my name is
Sewall is not nominated.
These dispatches were pub
lished in this mornings papers
and the convention understood
my position. In spite Of this
they have seen fit TO nominate
me. Whether ] shall accept the
nomination or not will depend
entirely on what conditions are
attached to it. My first desire
is to aid in securing the imme-
diate restoration by the United
States Of Tho free and unlimited
coinage gold and silver at the
present legal ratio Of Is to 1,
without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation.
The republican platform de
clares that the bimetallic sys-
tenn should be restored but as
serts that we as people are
helpless to secure binetallism
for ourselves until foreign nd
tons come 10 our assistance.
We cannot afford to surrender
our right to legisIate for our
people upon every question and
so long as the right is disputed
no other question can approach
it in Importance. ! appreciate
the desire manifested at St.
Lonis to consolidate all the
free silver forces and regret
that they did not nominate Mr..
Sewall also. He stands square
ly upon the Chicago platform
and has done much for the
cause. The populist platform
is, on many questions, sub
stantialIy identical with the
Chicago platform, it goes be-
yond the Chicago platform
however, and endorses some
policies which do not approve
of. All that l can say now is
that my action will depend up
on The conditions attached to
the nomination. shall do
nothing which will endanger the
success of bi-metallism nor
shall l do anything unfair to

Roll of Honor VIII Be Announced
in q Few Days.

Contracts for the construction of the
carnival buildings were ratified and exc
cuted yesterday by the executive COM
mfttee Of the carnival association. Ma
terial will be placed on the site today
and tomorrow, and with the opening of
next week everything will be begun in
the line of construction. First to be
completed will be the two long tobog-
gan slides, running in opposite dfrec-
tons, so that when. a party OF tobog-
gamers have finished the ride on one slide
they will be able to walk up a stairway
and take a run back. The slides will be
about 200 yards in length, except for the
coasting sleds, which will be somewhat
shorter.
The real work Of the carnival will now
devoIve upon the executive committee,
and daily sessions will be held, in order
to keep things moving rapidly and
smoothly Meetings of the board of di-
rectors will be called only as occasion
arises, but an adjourned meeting will
be held on Saturday afternoon at 4
o'clock to finish the apportionment Of
money to the different committees.
The proclamation of BorealiS Rex de-
claring the carnival fixture and set
ting the dates will be received from the

George w. Hertze1 Gives Up the
Unequal Battle of Life.

Crude opium partly diluted with al
cohol was the unusual weapon sue
cessfuIly employed Wednesday night
by George w. HartzeH against his own
life. HartzeH was acting postmaster
as we'll as agent for the Northwestern
Fuel company at st. Anthony Park.
He had long suffered from progressive
paralysis, and he had lost his wife
only month ago. Dependency from
these causes was the undoubted cause
of his self-destruction, for his person
al reputation was excellent, and he
had accurately adjusted his accounts
with both the postoff1ce department
and the fuel company.
Mr. Hartzell was forty-eight years
old. He came from Ohio, and has
resided in this state many years. He
left no children. Since his residence
at the Park, during two years, he has
made but few friends, but by these he
was much respected He resided at
1860 Hampden avenue, just across the
street from the Office of the fuel COM
pany, which was also the poStoffice.
His assistant in the office was Al Cur
tbs. To him Mr.. Hartzell said Wednes-
day evening at the Office that he would
go to Minneapolis within an hour, and
that he would return the next morn
ing. This was at 5 p. NJ, and Mr..
Hartzen was seen by no one else that
night When Curtis reached the Office
at a. M. yesterday he found his en-
ployer lying, fully dressed, upon the
floor. He had fallen from couch.
Though still breathing, he was almost
dead Near his side upon the floor lay
bottle containing a fluid and a semi
dissolved gum. Curtis removed Mr..
Hartzel to his residence and sum-
moned DR.. Charles Cannon. The ply
stefan perceived quickly thst Mr.Hart-

zel1 had swallowed opium and alcohol,
and that he was beyond aid. The sui
eide died at $50 a. m. Coroner Whit
comb arrived before noon, but declared
an inquest unnecessary.
After the postmaster's death 1t was
learned that he had carefully adjusted
his accounts on New Years day, and
had placed in a separate envelope the
respective cash balances due to the
government and to the fuel company
He had also made an informal will in
favor of distant relatives. disposing of
his small property.
The remains were taken in charge
by the family undertaken, William
Dampier, of this city. Mr. Hartzen
was social member OF the Odd Eel
lows, and his funeral which will prob
ably take place from his residence to-
morrow. will doubtless be under the
auspices of that fraternity.

difference between the two cases is in
the attitude of Great Britain herself
Ruthless to the weak and friendless,
she cringes to a power equal or SUI
perior to her own. It Is NO weak presi-
dent Of South American republic
with a scanty handful Of forces at
his command, but one Of the great
powers Of Europe with which England
must reckon for her operations In the
Transvaal. Hear the tone of her pub
lie press. The same newspapers which
spit fire against poor Venezuela, and
declare that the English government
will gobble what territory 1t pIeases
down there, tumbled over each other
in their eagerness to disavow the hos
tile advance which DIR. Jameson made
in South Africa.
They disclaim all responsibility and
express the most humble regret for this
evidence Of unfriendliness, although
there is not the slightest doubt that
were the Beers unconnected with any
European power, did they stand upon
the same basis OF mere moral right
that is occupied by the people Of Vene-
zuela, the English government, instead
of refusing responsibility and offering
apologies, would be clustering and
threatening as it has about the Schom-
berg line, and declare that it would
demand and hold it's own. In South
Africa as In South America, in every
quarter Of the world, England is intent
upon wrestling territory from its right
full possessor. The check that she has
experienced in two continents within so
short a time may teach her that the
policing of the world has now adj
vanced sufficiently far to compel the
disappearance Of the highwayman
among nations.

ALWAYS A RoBBER.

Whatever else we may say of Great
the rank we may assign to her among
the nations Of the world in the mat
ter Of progress, we cannot deny that
she has been from first to last, and
is today, so far as the acquisition of
territory is concerned, the thief of the
world. She has always been ready to
despoil a weaker power Of land, under
threat Of coercion. She has extended
the boundaries Of her colonies in every
part Of the world, slowly, insidiousIy,
but certainly. Wherever there is
British settlement there Is man who
thinks only how he may push little
farther on the boundary Of his ma
TONS claim. Wherever there is an
English colony, there will be aggres-
sion and conflict. It is particularly in
teresting to note the outbreak in two
different henlispheres at the same time
of this passion of England for con-
quest, and the instructive light which
the one throws upon the other. In
point Of fact, they appear to be alb
solutely Identical in the matter of
morals
There is settlement of Englishmen
IN British Guiana and another settle
ment in South Africa. In each case
there has been for a long series Of
years a determined attempt to extend
the boundaries of these colonies at the
expense Of their neighbors. That
which the Beers are now prepared to
check by force of arms, is exactly the
same as that against which Venezuela
has nrctesteA. asnd the United States

A PROMISING PUPIL.


The Minneapolis Tribune bids fair,
after few more efforts, to go to the
head Of the class in tariff instruction.
We have seldom found pupil to make
so much progress in the course Of
single lesson. The Tribune started out
a few days ago by publishing, with ap-
proving comment, an interview in
which 1t was stated that our wheat
raisers cannot compete with the poorly
paid labor Of Russia and India, and
that a restoration Of high tariff is
the only thing that can save them.
The G o b having called it's attention
to the fact that a tariff on wheat, or
any other agricultural product Of which
we produce more than we consume,
could not affect it's price, the Tribune
now admits that the competition which
fixes the price Of American wheat is
measured by the Liverpool market, and
so cannot be directly affected by any
duty on imports at ALL This Is excel
lent as far as it goes, and more rapid
advance in the common sense Of econ
omics than the high tariff proselyte
Is accustomed to make. The Tribune
is now probably ready for it's second
lesson. 1t says:
Give this country symmetrical and ade-
quate protective tariff, and In time our man
ufacturers and manufacturing population
would SO increase that substantially all the
wheat raised in the United States would be
consumed at home. The home market would
then fix the price, and it would not be fixed
in Liverpool by the cheap labor of the Rus
sian peasant and the Indian ryot."
So the Tribune goes back to that
dear, delightful old humbug, the ''home
market theory" Obliged to confess
that a tariff on wheat could not affect
its price directly, it has nothing left
but to retreat to the home market base
Of supplies. 1t will find that position
no more tenabIe than the other. IF
this country did not have "a symmet-
rical and adequate protective tariff
during the thirty years after the war.
when the Republican party had it's
own way about legislation, how can
it ever get one? It certainly did have,
in all that time, an excessively high
protective tariff, tending to steady in
crease.
IT the hcme market theory means
anything at all, we ought to have
seen some results from 1t for this per-
iod. What are they? Wheat has fall
en- steadily in market price from the
beginning to the end, until, with the
elimination Of Republican high tariff
legislation, it was worth in the market
about one-ffth Of what it was shortly
after the close Of the war; Our manu-
factories and our manufacturing popu-
lat1on have increased vastly, without
correspondingly raising the price of ag-
rieultural products. "In time" saws
the Tribune, this beautiful home mar
ket business will begin to work. But
life is short; and it is mathematical
problem whose solution the Tribune
should present to US, how long it will
take the tariff to build up home mar
ket able to raise the price of agricuItur-
al products, if that system In actual
operation has seen the products of the
soil grow cheaper and cheaper during
an entire generation. When the Trib-
une has answered this question it NAV
be ready to advance one place higher
in the class.
