The Dead and the Wounded.

The Leech Lake tragedy seems al
most an insult to the spirit of heroism.
Citizens of st. Paul who have known
Maj. Wilkinson as he has moved
around the streets among the people
find it difficult to realize that he is
now in his coffin and that the bullet
Of a North American Indian placed
him there
This is TO time for indulgence in hu-
mOrs connected with campaign Of so
serious results. Maj. Wilkinson and
the subOrdinates in his command who
died in the conflict at Leech Lake are
as much entitled to monumental honOrs
as if Shey had fallen at Santiago or on
the hills of San Juan. The only re-
Election of dishonOr in connection with
this whole affair is upon the war de-
pGrtment at Washington. Gov. Clough
has spoken to that department in
very forcible manner He has uttered
the voice of Minnesota. The govern
ment at Washington, through the war
department management, has stigma
tiZed itself as incapacitated for a great
emergency.
Over and over again has the lesson
been taught to the war department
that the Indian is a thing that cannot
be trified with He is a bad man in
his relations to civilized government.
Unless he is completely overawed by
numbers, when it comes to q conflict,
no point can be made against him. He
fights in ambush. This is his method
Of fighting. He is a sneak and a cow
ard AND no amount Of poetry or religious
sentiment can bring him to a different
position. The figure Of the noble saw
age has long ago departed from history
He has refused to accept the best offers
Of education and civilization. He has
persisted in his spirit of treachery He
has cost many valuable lives; and the
end is not yet.
Now we are told by Gen. Bacon that
a winter campaign is necessary to sub
due this ugly tribe of the North. In
competent hands the campaign ought
not to last a fortnight. The trouble
is the control Of things at Washington,
III the war department, is not in COM
petent hands.
This outbreak had it's origin In
whisky. The people can review the
record. A miserable redskin refused to
give up the name of his tempter Re-
suit, Maj. Wilkinson and a number Of
comrades are resting on their biers to-
day. What shame! How can Chris
tan people go to the sacramental table
and at the same time feel that there
is q God in Israel?

A Whitewashine FARCE

It is quite evident from the reports
that are coming in day by day from
the commission appointed by President
Mckinley to unearth the scandals con-
nected with the war department man
agement of the troops in their camps
and hospitals, that nice little dish Of
half-cooked preserves is to be handed
out to the people of the country in the
nature of relish. The appointment of
Granville NJ. Dodge as the president Of
that commission ought to have been a
sufficient notice to the country that
whitewash was in the pot, and that it
was to be applied very freely for the
benefit Of the entire gang.
Let US look back a little while and
recall the relations Of Gen. Dodge to
things that have gone before He was
a good soldier; nobody will doubt that.
He became chief engineer Of the Union
Pacific railroad, and his relations with
Jay Gould and Sidney Dillon are we'll
remembered facts.
But now, as we go nOsing about we
are able to discover a certain relation
! ship which he had in the past to Gen.
Alger. Gen. Alger has always been am
bilious to be president Of the United
| States. In 1883, when John Sherman
was a candidate for the presidency,
Gen. Alger precipitated himself upon
the convention and, through the al
| legged purchase of a good many votes
by George z. Spencer from Southern
territory, he managed, not to elect him
self, but to defeat the nomination of
Mr. Sherman, and Benjamin Harrison
came into the field. Mr.. Harrison was
nominated and elected and served four
| years as president Of the United States.
Dodge and Spencer were good friends.

called 'carpetbag" senator Of the
United States from Alabama, he made

Look Out for Home Interests.

The Democrats have always been
loyal to st. Paul, and have produced
the only true leaders in the interests Of
the city that have ever sat in the leg
islature. The Republicans occasionally
send good man to the capitol, but the
ordinary Republican representative is
too busy with private bills to give any
attention to the requirements Of the
city. 1t is incumbent on the people to
elect this fall such a delegation to the
legislature from Ramsey county as will
insure recognition for the county. The
material for that purpose is not ap-
parent in the Republican legislative
ticket.
The time has come for St. Paul to
look closely after her own interests in
the legislature, and the only way that
can be done is to elect we'll informed
ana capable men to the legislative
body. The utter absurdity of sending
such men as Andrew Holm, lodging
house keeper; Walter Boyd, bailiff in
justice shop; Peter Thauwald, Of the
Fifth ward, and other men of that class
to the legislature and expecting them
to get hearing before q legisla tive
body will occur to most people. It is
the personality of the individual, not
his political preference, that makes the
efficient legislator.

Exhibit of Home Industries.

If 1t is true that a prophet is not
without honor save in his own coun
try, 1T is often just as true that coun-
try is not without honor save among
its own people. Not that a country OF
city lacks the spirit Of patriotism, but
they often fail to give it expression in
the patronage of their own industries.
Citizens send away for things when the
same goods, and frequently Of a SUI
perior quality, could be secured within
the city.
1t should be said, however, in Justice
to buyers, that the Slight is not due
to malicious intention, but to the fact
that the quantity and quality of home
goods have not been thoroughly ex-
plotted. The exploitation of st. Paul
industries and arts will be made in the
splendid exhibit to be opened in Mar
ket hall this week.
The executive committee of the
Ladies' Auxiliary has been hard at
work for months and the result of its
efforts will be not only surprisingly
gratifying array of home manufac-
lures, but a series of attractive enter
tainments, planned for the entire ex-
position. Furthermore, the chairmen
have appointed members of their COM
mittees to take charge of the several
departments so that visitors may find
prompt answers to their queries This
division of labor will render the service
satisfactory to the public and make 1t
comparatively easy for each member,
providing no appointee fails in her
duty.
The rapidity with which the exhibits
are now coming in and the fact that
they all represent home interests are

HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE.

It cannot have escaped the notice Of those
who pay any attention to what is going on in
the world of commerce that we are now
threatened with competition from a quarter
whence we hardly expected it. Only short
time ago 1t was the fashion to raise the cry
of German competition; and so watchful have
we been OF that DOGGY that we seem to have
overlooked the more formidable rival across
the Atlantic We have no intention of TAX
ing up the role Of alarmists, for indeed we
do not, like some Of our contemporaries, see
much cause for immediate alarm; but it
would be foolish to ignore the fact that Brit
ish industry seems likely to be pressed much
harder in the future by America than by
Germany. Nearly every day We are confront
ed with premonitory signs of a coming con-
test, and these recur with increasing force.
1t is needless to trace how this competition
from the United States has been called into
existence. That it already exists Is patent
to the most careless observer, aud that it will
grow in strength may be safely enough pre-
dicted. The present condition of trade in the
United Kingdom is generally good, but let US
take care that we are not thereby lul!ed into
a mistaken sense of security. There is danger
in feeling over-confdent. When trade takes
a turn for the worse, we may find ourselves
face to face with a rivalry that we cannot

ents have been sending out labored screeds
advocating the addition Of a secretary Of
colonies and commerce. Behind this move
ment may plainly be discerned the hands of
predatory politicians of the dominant party.
These fellows are always furnishing for spoils

We do not doubt that when the truth Is
revealed it will show that many mistakes
have been made; that some officers of the
army were incompetent and too weak to

by great and sudden emergency; that other
officers were guilty Of negligence and, per-
haps, OF disobedience of orders; that some of
these officers were regulars and some volun-

Richard Croker's Creed

Alfred Henry Lewis, in Mondays Telegraph,
gives a fairly accurate pen picture of Dick
Croker. but in a quoted conversation Croker
gives us q better idea OF himself:
What do you call a great MANI" asked
Croker We were at the table awaiting our
dinner at the time.
There are so many kinds of greatness,
1 replied, "that description is difficult; could
give you an an example. Take Tom Reed. l
don't like him; moreover, l think he's as
crooked as a dogs hind leg. Yet he's I'M
doubleday a great mana very great man."
II don't think So" retorted Croker.
reeds not true to his friendsF'
Treason to ones friends" 1 argued els
q frequent earmark of greatness. Some men
couldn't be great il they were true to their
friends"
well, that's not my notion Of a great
man." insisted Croker. 'My idea Of a great
man is one who is never dishonest; who is
never the coward; who when he gives you
his hand gives you his life, ana come fair
weather or foul, stays by his colors and wins
with hts friends or loses and dies with his
friends. That's my idea of greatness"
There Is not man on the press of New
York however he may write, who does not
recognize how true this is of Croker. He
never forgets his friends. and l hardly think
that he forgets his enemies. either. This

A candidate on the Republican county tick
ct approached Friday by a First ward
man who was never known to do a day
work in his life, and asked if he would in
dorse note for $75. He said, kindly but
firmly, that he would indorse no notes. Then
the fellow thought that he could get along
with cash loan Of $25. That would not do
at ALL and there was no chance to negotiate
the loan.
1T don't make any difference at all" said
the First ward man: "of course I'm for
you-but say, haven't you got an overcoat
that you don't need?" He didn't even get
the overcoat, and the candidate remarked
that it was the second time he had been
approached by men who started in with a
good-sized note and wanted to compromise
on old clothes.
