LOGIC IS WITH THEM.
We take it that Mr.. Wharton Barke


has not sent to the editor of the Pioneer
Press the circular letter he is sending
out to the McKinleyized manufacture
ers of the country, with it's enclosure
of the pledge made by Republican
senators that they will insist on hay
ing the free coinage of silver as pro
lection to American labor" against the
force that is degrading it to the level
Of Chinese coolie labor" Neither, we
take it, has it seen the pronunciamento
Of the silver senators, printed quite
generally in it's Eastern exchanges.
Else it would not have been quite SO
confident that no nineteen Republican
senator's had signed any such ulti-
matum, and of what would happen
to them if such an improbable thing
had been done, nor that the Republican
party would take care" of them.
Whether Or not nineteen senators
have signed any such a pledge, as Sen
ator Dubois says, or not is a matter
about which the senator may be safely
ment of the Idaho senator gains ere
dence from the card or declaration or
platform or pronunciamento to which
the following Republican senators ap
pended their signatures: Teller, War
rem, Mantle, Shoup, Pritchard, VOL
colt, Mitchell, Cannon, Pettigrew, Du-
bois, Hansbrough, Carter, Perkins, Cam
eron, Clark and Brown. Certainly, if
these senators believe that free coin
age is equivalent to a protection of 100
per cent, and that all our people en-
gagged in industrial vocations must
have the same protection or be re-
duced to coolie wage as is indicated
in their published card, they are justi-
fed in insisting that salvation by tax
alton shall be given. From their point
| Of view these senators are plainly right
and the Pioneer Press is grossly and
indefensibly inconsistent.

SENATOR DAVIS ON THE MONROE
DOCTRINE,

AS Senator Davis conceded fairly and
justly, in his speech in the senate yes
terday, to his political opponents the
honor of the position taken by the adj
ministration in the Venezuelan mes
sage Of President Cleveland, SO may
they yield to him the praise of hay
ing dealt with his vast and intricate
subject with great clearness, force and
wealth of information. It is a sub
ject upon which political animosities
mense majority of the American peo-
pie, without distinction of party, are
enthusiastically in favor of the main
tenance and enforcement Of the great
doctrine enunciated by President Mon
roe, approved by Thomas Jefferson, and
proclaimed to the world with a posi-
tiVenesS of assertion and a definiteneSs
of meaning unknown to it before in the
correspondence of Mr.. Olney and the
message Of Mr.. Cleveland. The sup
port of this position today has be-
come the part and exclusive property
of neither Democrat nor Republican; it
is the common prerogative of all patri-
otto Americans. There they lay their
enmities aside, and join hands in rails
ing high the flag of our independence
from interference or aggression, in the
sight of all the world.
The topic was one well suited to dis
play the ability of the senior senator
from Minnesota. He has made an espe-
cial study of the foreign relations of the
United States. He is we'll versed in
the historical incidents and the rec
ords of diplomacy connected with the
| rise and growth of the Monroe doc
trlne. He is possessed Of the eloquence
and oratorical power to elaborate from
this an argument which is at once a.
defense of our past and a proclamation
of our future intentions. He occupied
ground above the torn and soddan
fields of party strife, and proved him
self a worthy advocate Of a great cause.
Sketching the condition of the world
and the relation of this country to the
great powers at time when it dared.

honor; speaking the common determin-
alton of the people of these United
States that they are and are to be the
arbiters Of future changes in the dis
position of potyer in any American
state, he addressed the whole body of
this nation and his speech was worthy
of his theme.
| There are two points, however, upon
which we differ from the gentleman
who delivered to the senate one of the
most finished and convincing argu-
ments Of its recent days. One of these

the eating. this city could well afford
to remain forever under its present
municipal charter rather than to flee
to the patent and incurable ills of the
Howard Minneapolis-Co Columbia Heights
system.
But behind all this there lies the un-
answerable argument that must COM
mend itself to every thoughtful man
anxious for the public welfare. This
Is that whereas, If we adopt the one
system, we are saddled with an IRON
clad law. requiring years Of litigation
to determine the meaning OF it's pro-
visions, and Interchangeable except by
legislative action and with the consent
Of all the other cities of the state. by
the other we obtain a scheme of gov
eminent made by ourselves, to suit
our own needs and conditions, and
amendable at our own pleasure in
whatever particulars we find neces-
sary. This is enough to settle the
question. For if, under the home rule
plan, we decide that we want the How
ard charter, we can take it, and aft
erward modify it where defective;
while If we accept the Howard charter
direct, rejecting the home rule pro-
vision, we have locked ourselves into
a sealed chamber from which there is
no possible escape. We cannot see
even if the Howard charter were all
that it's adherents proclaim it to be,
why we should not frame our own in
strument of government and keep our
future in our own hands. That leaves
us as free as ever to take all or as
much as we may desire Of the system
now urged upon us. In other words,
we have everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by following home
rule; everything to lose and moth
ing to gain by committing ourselves
irrevocably to the Howard charter act
claim that it is perfect sent down
from mountain like the decalogue,
and beyond the power Of sinful man
to change except to his everlasting
danger or damnation.
Most communities which had passed
through an experience of debt and tax
reduction such as ours under the Bell
charter would be satisfied to "let well
enough alone" Especially is this true
when we shall be able within anoth-
er year, to make for ourselves exactly
such charter as we want. This
fact, that the home rule plan contains
the potentiality Of the Howard char
ter, while the Howard charter casts all
our fortunes upon the single die of a
method that is responsible for some Of
the greatest crimes ever perpetrated
in American cities, ought to be de-
cisive with those who have the inter
ests Of st. Paul at heart This debate
has been Illuminating in one respect
1t shows how little its best friends
can point out to us to admire or to
trust in the Howard charter. The cam
paign in it's favor. seems to consist of
the single phrase, board rule" re-
peated by those who have to offer in
its place only the consignment of af-
fairs to one great, irresponsible
board" controlled absolutely by po-
litical influences and combinations, su-
pervised in the distance by another
board" Of tax levy. If King Log is
not altogether to our liking, it be-
hooves us at least to keep out of the
NAV of King Stork.

essential to the safety Of the island
empire that this province across mar
row waters should not fall into the
control Of China. Corea was the real
bone Of contention between them. The
most important item of the peace
agreement concluded at the end Of the
war was the guarantee of Corean in
dependence of China's control. While
Japan also formally waived her right
to rule, it was understood and expected
that japanese influence would be pre-
dominant in its government.
Russia viewed this arrangement with
little satisfaction She has had a
jealous eye upon every movement of
Japan that would look toward the de-
feat of her cherished hope of obtain
ing larger foothold upon the Pacific
She joined in the remonstrance which
compelled Japan to renounce her
permanently, a portion of the Chinese
mainland; but she acquiesced, appar-
emily, in the status that was fixed for
Corea. 1t is her habit, however, to
work her way forward by intriguing
with the natives, building up a party
on her side and inciting 1t secretly to
make move for possession of the
government. If it is true that she has
done this in Corea, the whole East
ern question may be opened up again.
1t would be interpreted rightly by
Japan, and by the rest of the world,
as the practical assumption of a pro-
tectorate in Corea. Probably Japan
would accept this, however reluctantly,
rather than make it a cause Of war
with her powerf III neighbor just now;
but neither Japan, filled with conf
dence and overlooking with plans of
extension and expansion for the future,
nor the other European powers, that
look upon every advance of Russia, no
matter how remote as possibly pref
judicial to their int rests, could ap-
prove or finally consent to it. 1t is far
from impossible that it should be the
center Of disturbance out Of which
another war in the East may arise.

A NEW CLOUD.

A new war cloud appears in the far
East in the dispatch which states that
Russian forces have taken possession
of the capital of Corea, and that the
king has gone over to them, pro-
claimed his ministers guilty of treason
and executed two of them. It was
supposed that the war between China
and Japan had settled the future status
Of Corea. To secure the independence
of that country was the main purpose
of the Japanese. It was rightly deemed

AT THE THEATERS.

The John Stapleton company has scored a
hit at the Metropolitan opera house this
week in the play "The Wife" The house last
night was large and appreciative one. and

day nights the company will appear in

for the entire country. as he is certainly
known to all parts of it through his ability
to produce laughter. comes to the Metropoli-
tan for four nights and Wednesday matinee
beginning Sunday, surrounded by a company
of comedians far above the average, and pre-
senting new comic play written by Louis
De LANCE, called ''The Globe Trotter, -
in which Hoey plays the part of a tramp
his old original tramp, Old Hoss, and Incl
dentally assumes the disguise of a deaf and
dumb old woman and an English swell.
Manager Lift has great faith in the success
of his new production, 1.-THE Last Stroke"
which will be given it's initial presentation
at the Grand Sunday night. The earsals
have been most satisfactory, and -Ar. Lift
states that he never saw play show such
promise of success as this, his latest venture.
AS in the case Of his other productions, he
is spending large sum of money for the
mounting of the new piece. He has en-
gagged the best cast that was possible for
him to secure among the stars in New York.
Mr.. Morris, the author of the play, was for
merly connected with the Northwestern
press and has carefully studied the territory
of his subject, and he has certainly chosen
very interesting subject, especially as a
great deal of interest Is being evinced con-
corning Cuba's struggle for independence at

''The White Rat" the current attraction
at the Grand, has made a hit and the
audience last night was large, despite the

and the specialties are introduced in way
that surprises the audience. There will be

the popular prices of the theater.
