of Mr.. Mckinley. He Goes not propose,
however, that this distasteful necessity
shall ever be made to reflect upon his
personal or party character. He re-
fuses to accept any present or future
honor or promotion at Republican
hands. He rejects the nomination to
congress which the Republicans offered
to him. and which would have been
equivalent to an election. and says,
nobly, that he will not be indebted to
the political organization whose candi-
date he is compelled to support by the
exigencies of a grave national peril,
is opposed"
How different is the course of the
eminent New Yorker who has for
many years made it his chief boast
that he is Democrat From Senator
Hill no one has managed to extract
definite statement of his attitude or
purpose. Mr.. Hill is deeply interested
in the question of his own regularity
and is entitled to the sympathy Of the
community for being in what, out here
In Minnesota, we would call Fletcher
of fix" He made fine fight at Chi
cago for honest money, but it was
limited by the same circumstances that
bind him helpless today. He did not
dare advance to the point of open
rupture. He feared too much his
future standing. And the influence of
the New York state delegation in the
Chicago convention was weakened and
destroyed by the knowledge which the
desperate men on the opposite side
possessed that beyond a certain point
Senator Hill would not go. They are
playing upon the same weakness to-
day. Mr.. Bryan and Chairman Jones
are losing no opportunity to impress
upon Mr.. Hills mind the fact that
unless he supports openly and actively
the nominees of the Chicago conven-
ton, they will be prepared to chal-
lenge his Democracy in the future,
and his right to seek or hold office as
Democratic candidate
He entertained Mr. Bryan, but did
not dare to introduce him to
public audience. 1t is now
reported that he will make a
few speeches in Mr. Bryan's favor,
and the last humiliation of the astute
and powerful New York senator must
be found in the announcement that
considerable opposition" is manifested
toward allowing him to speak in the
rural districts of Illinois. Such is the
price which a man has to pay when
he consults self-interest before self
respect. Senator Hill has had an OBJ
portunity to make himself the unques-
toned leader Of his party in this coun-
try. If he does not accept
1t he will invite the fate of
the man who sits between two
stools. He will find himself in the end
on the road to no honors or rewards
from any Of the conflicting factions
that are struggling with one another In
the political field. The policy of these
three eminent New Workers and Dem
ocrats offers an instructive and val
liable lesson to the younger generation.

THROWN INTO A CELL.
New Workers. Unpleasant Initiation
in Western Ways.

When he arrived at the central sta
ton at l o'clock this morning, H. H.
Bancher, Of New York, was in any
thing but a pleasant frame of mind.
Mr.. Bancher was from New York and
said so half a dozen times. He had
attended, the theater last evening, and
after the play loitered about with a
friend discussing the acting and other
matters. After leaving his friend he
sauntered up Robert street toward his
hotel Not being used to st. Paul po-
licemen he did not pay much attention
to Patrolman Carroll. Pete said:
"Hellow there, where are you going,
my lad?"
Bancher either didn't hear or didn't
want to be spoken to in such a manner
and paid no attention to the salutation.
He was much surprised when a mo-
ment later the officer joined him and
again requested Mr.. Bancher to state
where he was from and where he was
going. This made the New Yorker very
angry and he became deaf and dumb
to the officer. The result was that the
patrol wagon, which was passing, was
stopped by Carroll and Mr.. Bancher, of
New York landed at the station. Mr..
Bancher tried to tell Capt. Rouleau
that he was from New York and had
never heard of such an outrage in all
his life. Trembling with suppressed
emotion, Bancher submitted to
search of his pockets and then in
quired If he was to be locked up after
being insulted by a policeman and then
driven through the streets in a patrol
wagon. Capt. Rouleau said that was
the rule and away to a cell went Mr..

DESERVES Liberal SUPPORT.

One feature of the Grand Army en-
campment in this city that was new
and original, and that appealed to the
patriotic ands stirred the aesthetic
sense, was the living flag. 1t was one
that neither the members of the vet
eran organization nor those of our
own citizens who were fortunate
enough to see it will ever, forget But
of our own people there were COM
paratively few who had opportunity
to see the great breathing banner and
listen to the patriotic songs that came
from it's stars and stripes. For it. was
visible and audible only to those
gathered within the narrow space at
the intersection of st. Peter, Sixth and
Market streets; and tens of thou
sands were never able to get near
enough to this point to become spec
tators at any time during the parades
1t will, therefore, be good news to
many to know that the association of
ladies who contributed so largely to the
pleasures and successes of encamp-
AAASiAI WCCh has dTTduSGQ, III COnJunc-
ton with the citizens committee, for
a presentation of the living flag at
the Auditorium on Saturday evening,
to be accompanied with other features
sufficient to round out delightful en-
tertainment. 1t will be the last echo
OF the glories of encampment week,
and twill be given for the benefit of
objects that appeal most strongly to
the support Of the association Of
women who have demonstrated both
their public spirit and their public
cap, capacity. On the ground of merit and
on that Of interest this entertainment
should secure a liberal patronage. We
hope that the people of. the city will
come as literally to it's support as they
did to that of the Grand Army work,
and that the evening at the .Audito-
RUM will be rousing success.

Paine's celery compound purifies the
blood, stores the nervous system with
energy and hurries along the replacing of
worn-out, diseased parts by healthy, active
tissues.
Every city has men and women who
praise Paine's celery compound in their
homes, talk about it to their neighbors,
and rely on it in all cases Of threatened or

President Charles Dole is not the first

A CITY HALL DIRECTORY,
The Merchants Association Has
Now Taken the Mat.
ter Up.
Plans of Floors and Location of Offices
to Be Placed at Corridor
Crossings.

The difficulty experienced by strangers
or even residents of this City in finding
any given point in the City Hall on ac-
count of the mysteries of the ghostIy cor
ridors has led the Merchants Association
TO make an effort to have directories of the
great pile placed at convenient points where
the desired directions can easily be OBJ
tanned.
In furtherance of this object the follow
ing letter has been addressed to the Board
OF Supervisors;
Gentlemen: The necessity of a concise vet
complete directory in the new City Hall is
recognized bY almost every person who has
occasion 10 go to the City Hall, and must be
clearly apparent to the men bers OF your
honorable board.
The board OF directors of the Merchants AS
sociation has given this matter careful con-
sideration, and has had prepared by the con-
sulting engineer OF the association plans and
specifications for this work.
Herewith, we beg leave to present TO your
honorable board full description of this di-
Tectory ana index, together with estimates of
the entire cost OF furnishing the plans and
placing them in the new City Hall. We have
had one OF the plans finished and framed
ready to hang in the corridor, and herewith
submit this one for your inspection.
The acknowledged necessity of directory
IN the new City Hall, and the very small cost
OF this improvement (only $121 20), will uI-
doubtedly induce your honorable board TO
order the work done without further delay.
should there be any question as TO the avail
ability OF fundsf for the purpose, e Merchants
Association would respectfully offer 10 bear
the necessary expense. Respectfully yours,
MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION.

J. RICHARD FREUD, Secretary.
Accompanying the letter was compre-
hensive description of the directory which
contemplates the mum bering OF the offices
in the different corridors .as the blocks of
streets are mum bered.
On each floor at the crossings of corri-
dors will be placed a complete directory of
the whole building and beside it plan of
that floor. This will require sixteen COM
plete directories and four plans of each
floor, or sixteen plans in all. The plans
and directories are to be framed in neat
oak frames and covered with glass, and if
the location is dark light is to be kept In
front OF them for easy reference.
The numbers of the Offices will be painted
on the Office doors and ct each crossing OF
corridors shall be placed large board
containing the name of the corridors.

four pronounced favorites to the post in
one day, but such was the case with the
Burns 81 Waterhouse stable yesterday. OF
the four, one was first, two were second,
while the other managed to finish just
outside of the money.
The Sensational finish of the day was
when Sam Leake, the entry from that
stable in the third event, seven and a
half furlong run over the inside course,
flashed past the wire ''face' in front of
Billy McCloskey. The Darebin colt was a
1 to choice in the betting, and most of
the wagering was confined to picking a
place horse. The unlucky Walter ] joined
the favorite when the flag fell, the two
going at great clip to the stretch, where
Walter had enough. Shaw, on Billy
McCloskey, now sent that horse out, and
he made it decidingly interesting the
balance of the journey for the odds cn
choice. A hundred yards from the wire it
looked dubious indeed for SAM but Harry
Griffin was equal to the occasion and lifted
him in winner by the shortest Of heads.
1t proved very costly victory, for the
winner, entered TO be sold for $500, was
