In the senate than any other half
dozen men put together. He has been
the most vir1lent man in the United
States, aside from Tillman, in abuse of
Mr.. Cleveland. He has aspired to be
one Of the leaders of a Democracy

disagree with him have no place or

LOOKING THE BIDS OVER.
Some Days Before Capitol Commits
sion Will Make Award.

The members of the state capitol
commission put in another day yester-
day. porting over and discussing the
details of the fourteen bids submitted
for the new state house. The fact that
CaSs Gilbert, the capitol architect, had
not submitted the condensed tabula-
ton of bids, precluded the possibility
of doing more han discussing the bids
in a general way.
The members Of the commission ap-
pear to favor three of the kinds of
stone mentioned in the estimates,
namely, Bedford, Blue Amhurst, of
Ohio, and Kettle River stone of Min
nesOta.
It will probably be necessary to put
in another day OF two with the bids
before n intelligent idea can be Sc
cured of their relative positions, etc.
President Claiming Seabury, seen ,yes-
terday, said:
Eve have arrived at no conclusion as yet,
and l think it will be several days before
we will be ready to make an award. This
is an important matter, involving upwards
Of a million dollars. Everything will be
considered in detail, and nothing will be
sighted, to the end that, when We finally
act, we will know that what we have done
was best in the premises. 1t is the intention
to first decide upon the kind of stone that
we will select in the building of the super
structure. This will take considerable time,
for We Will send for the representatives Of
the different quarrieS and have them exploit
their products as they may see fit. The
choice of the good stone is second only to
the choice of a coed contractor, and the
selection, when made, we think, will be
satisfactory. not alone to ourselves, but TO
for the stone decided upon will get the con-
tract

produced in some other state. We are
no advocates of that sort Of protection
which consists in buying things dear
in one place when you can buy them
cheap in another. We do believe de-
voutly in giving the preference to
home interests when they enter a COM
petition on substantially equal terms.
We know that the capitol commission
will decide this question according to
it's best judgment and for the interest
of the whole people of the state. They
should bear in mind, in reaching that
decision, that there is a very strong feel
ing in every part Of Minnesota that
the material for the new capitol should
be obtained within our own borders, if
it can be found of suitable quality and
at reasonable cost.

The action Of the United States sen
ate on the sugar schedule and on The
amendment relating to trusts, which
would have deprived the sugar COM
bine Of all that it has been fighting for
settles the status of what we have
been accustomed to call that ''honor-
aole body. The sugar schedule is
adopted with the rates of dutv Gxad
by the trusts; authorizing them 10 COL
lect from the people money enough to
pay a little more than the usual y per
cent dividend on their enormous Cant
tai stock. Even the Republican news
papers find it difficult to discover or
invent an excuse that will pass muster

sugar trust. For its benefit and for
it alone, is the differential put into the

pect that the time which has been con-
sumed in adjusting this schedule was
meted out with some reference to spec-
ulation in the sugar securities. which
have experienced considerable yaria-
ton during the delay. Certainly, the
men who are willing to vote for q
proposition of this kind cannot COM
plain if their freedom from personal
interest in other directions is dues-
toned. The sugar schedule is an out
right gift to a trust, the only defense
Of which, SO far as we have heard, is
that, after presenting millions to the
trust, the United States government
would better proceed to break it down
by granting millions more in bounties
to the few hypothetical producers of
beet sugar.
There is another incident of this
vote, however, which every true Dem
ocrat must witness with joy. This is
the public alignment Of Senator Nor

the enemies Of Democracy and honest
government. That Senator McEnerv
should be found in the same

said elsewhere, he is as stanch a pro-

THE ACT C~oNsuMMATED.

The treaty providing for the anneXa-
ton of Hawaii was signed yesterday.
The raid upon the government Of the
Sandwich islands that was begun by
President Harrison has been completed
by President Mckinley. The terms Of
the treaty are such as have been al
ready given out, and the motives that
led up to it, unworthy as we believe
them to be and unwise as we know
that their result will prove, need not
be further discussed. This group Of
islands, thousands of miles distant
from the nearest point of the United
States, with a mongrel population, the
great body of which has not S,sSimi-
or political liberty, ruled by a little
oligarchy Of forceful men, representing
the dominant interest in what is prac-
tically a monarchial form of govern
ment, are to come into the Union as a
territory of the United States.
This makes an evil precedent in our
history. The circumstances are not
at all to be compared with the acqui-
sition of Alaska. The annexation Of
Hawaii is a virtual abandonment of the
Monroe doctrine. This, to which
all profess so strong an allie
glance, found its great defenders
in Mr.. Cleveland and Secretary
Olney, and is cast to the winds
in the acquisition Of Hawaii at the die
tation of mighty corporate interests.
We believe that, when this matter is
probed to the bottom, if it ever shall
be, there will be found, back OF the
movement for Hawaiian annexation,
one of the great scandals IF the repub-
lie. However that may be, the treaty
proposition is at variance with the
whole spirit of our institutions and the
object of our laws. The territory Of
borough, the least American and the
most corrupt of all, from which will
come to the house of representatives
a delegate; and, later on, When the
sugar II uSl Shall have wrought It's
perfect work and secured its ad,nis-
sion as a state, two more senators to
do the bidding of their mighty masters.
For this we are to cast aside the doc
trines of the fathers; for this we are
to invite e~ntangling relations abroad;
for this we are to start upon u policy
Of colonial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. that re-
CARDS the constitution as so much
waste paper, if a lingo may be pleased
or the officer of a trust placated. Every
interest Of this country was already
perfectly guarded by the relation of
the United States to Hawaii, aud
would have been so maintained indef-
initely. Annexation is a useIcs step. a
mad act, a compliant yielding to the
forces that are weakening the repdb-
lie and leading it to decay. Little as
men may dream Of it today, we believe
that in all it's relations 20 the America \
government, American policy and the
American idea, the nation will one day
look back upon the annexation Of Ha-
wall as the first pronounced ster in a
downward course which, if not arrest
ed, may lead to unknown DEPTHS Of
disaster.

HOME MATERIAL If POSSIBLE.

The bids received for the construc-
ton Of the superstructure of the new
capitol building show a wide range of
cost; varying not only with the indi-
vidual bidder, wi with the quality Of
the material to be used. We have the
utmost faith in the capitol commission,
in it's ability to decide between the con
ficting claims of the various building
stones n in it's absolute fidelity to the
public interest. It's final decision will
represent it's honest opinion of how the
money of the people may be expended
most advantageously. It is proper, how
ever, at this point, to- urge the COM
mission to remember and give espe-
ciai weight to the claims of u home
states. Where other conditions are at
eif equal, the preference should he
given to a domestic interest. If. in the
great variety Of building stone which
Minnesota produces, there is any ad-
judged suitable for the purpose
Of capitol construction thai can
be obtained on substantially the
same basis as a stone imported
from a distance, we believe that the
people will choose to have their money
spent at home, rather than that it
should go elsewhere.

ment offered to the people of Mime

at the office Of Frank R. Daily, the
publisher Of The Catholic Church

is a bona f1de business venture with
which Mr.. TimmOns is connected. The
paper is a monthly issue which ap-
peared yesterday with the advertising
contracts entered into fully complied
with, though the fact that it did not
reach the subscribers as early as was
expected may be responsible for the
suspicion Of the authorities.
In regard to the action Of the DO

not to use the names of church people

ing. The paper, MI. DAILY stated, had

Serious Charge.
William Patton, the freight conductor

he had fOrcibly kissed her while calling
at her place Of employment, was dis
charged on the original complaint in
the municipaEcburt yesterday, but was

rant charging him with assault.
Patton had started to leave the court
room when the motion OF the city at
tOrney to dismiss the assault and bat
terry charge against him was granted
but when rearrested was very angry.
He claimed that the entire prosecution
was a Matchmaking scheme instigated
by Mrs. Cooper, the woman at whose
house he called. In substantiation Of
this allegation he exhibited a letter,
written in a female hand, which he
claimed to have received May rs, eight
days after he had called at the Cooper
home. The epistle reads as follows:
I'VE will give you until Saturday to settle
with us for what you said and did in my
place, AID if you don't l will put you in

it. Mrs. w. Cooper"
