The Chestnut Bell.

The chestnut bell was rung by our
esteemed evening contemporary yester-
day, and, as part of the Republican
state committees programme, it will
probably be rung by our other esteemed
st. Paul contemporary this morning.
Tucked away in an obscure part of the
Dispatch, as If in recognition of it's
lack of worth as a campaign argu-
ment, was an article headed Danger
to ST. Paul OF Populism 1t was a
copy Of an address to the Democrats Of
st. Paul, printed in The Glo b e two
years ago, signed by several worthy
st. Paul gentlemen, some of whom are
now heartily laboring for the election
of John Lind for governor, one of whom
is now doing business outside of the
state, and meme of whom, The G l o e
is happy to record, has committed any
offense that entitled him to the recogni-
ton Of the constituted authorities for
the suppression of crime, since the orig
inal address was spread before the pub
lie.
For an elucidation of this little cam
pa1gn device the readers of The
G b e are referred to the address of
F. w. NJ. Cutcheon delivered at the Au-
ditorium last evening and printed in
another column.
Something more than the chestnut
bell is necessary to the success of Eus-
tbs this year; and that something has
not yet been discovered by Judge
Steele's committee.

St. Paul Hospitality Invited.

The annual convention Of the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance union will
be held In ST. Paul, beginning the mid
die of next week. 1t is expected that
the officers and delegates will number
between four and five hundred. The
national officers of the organization are
to be entertained at the hotels, and the
delegates will be guests of those who
may be pleased to entertain them at
their own homes or provide accommo-
dations elsewhere. Provision has been
secured for about one-half the number
expected. The clergymen of nearly all
the churches have suggested that the
members of the congregations open
their houses to the visitors, many Of
whom win probably remain in the city
fifteen days. 1t Is expected that there
will be some arrivals tomorrow. If
any readers of The G o b who have
not received invitations to extend their
hospitality to the incoming strangers,
and who are willing to entertain one
or two in their homes or contribute to
such entertainments at the hotels or
boarding houses, will forward their
names and addresses or their contribu-
tons to The G o b e, the local commit
tee will be duly notified.

Conservatism Personified.

The audience which greeted John
Lind at the Auditorium last night was
the largest and the most discriminating
that has gathered in st. Paul. for the
consideration of matters political, for
many moon. If the Democracy OF
Ramsey county has any special types,
standing for any considerable number
of voters, they were well and ably rep
resented by Thomas D. O'Brien, F. w.
M. Cutcheon and John w. Willis, every
one of whom addressed himself unre-
servedly to the issues which are up
permost in the minds of the people Of
Minnesota generally. Harmony of view,
unity of action, the welfare of the citi-
zen and the state were typified by thu
utterances Of these speakers.
Of John Lind's address it may truly
be said that it was conservatism per-
scnified. Capital, commerce, labor can
extract from it the satisfactory assur-
ance that if he is elected governor-as
he will be-no criticism will fall upon
the fair name of Minnesota. The pros
rerity of this city is Synonymous with
that of the country. What contributes
to the one augments the prosperity of
the other. The interests of the farmer
are these of the artisan. The welfare
of the twain are indissolubly associat-
ed. This was made plain by the speak
er of the evening.
The people of Minnesota have never
had this idea more clearly presented
to them Certainly the citizens of ST.
Paul have never more fully appreciat-
al If We commend the address Of Mr.
Lind to the perusal Of the doubtful
and particularly to the prophets OF
despair who have darkened the col
umns of our contemporaries in these
closing hours Of the campaign.

Our Merchant Marine.

Formerly the merchant marine of the Unit
ed States was Of the first rank and justI =
the pride of the nation. Americans built
ships not only for our own people, but for
the people of other lands. American clipper
ships were the fastest and the best in the
world.
Our merch ar marine increased with great
rap1dlty and was highly prosperous under
the Democratic Walker tariff, and it more
than maintained its relative Importance until
iron began to take the place of Wocd in the
construction of ocean ships. It suffered no
real decline until the privateers of our Civil
war drove our shipping to the she.tsr OF
foreign flags.
After the war Republican tariffs made
impossible to build iron ships in American
yards to compete against ships built in Brit .
ish yards at free trade cost. The Republicans
would make no reduction of duties imposed
for the benefit of capitalists engaged in the
manufacture of iron and it was no longer
profitable to build wooden ships for the trade
In which they were exposed to competition
of iron ships
Other countries were wise enough to repeaI
their navigation laws or so modify them as
to permit their people to tuy ships where
they pleased and sail them under their own
nag. Not so in this country under Repub-
hcan rule. No Republican congress would
eAreeI Caln Tut moment a proposal to relax
the earoarous rigor of those laws in any par
ucular. If an American wished to buy a.
ship constructed abroad he had to sail It
under some foreign flag; he could not have
IL registered as an American ship
That is still the case, and 1t is one OF the
reasons why so few ships in the foreign trade
ny the American flag. Many of then ara
owned by Americans but they must ny for
elgn flags if they sail between foreign DORIS
or between American and foreign ports To
this rule there ere few exceptions by spe-
clal dispensation by congress- = Chicago

/ William Waldorf Astor writes to the Times,
denying the story that he recently won bet
by giving a dinner to twenty-seven guests
seated around table cut from a section of
redwood tree.
He says that the section of tree placed in
the grounds Of Cliveden was put there as an
object of curiosity, and was never intended
to be used dining table.
No bet was ever made as to the seating ca
pacity of the section. The whole tale was a
deliberate fabrication. He has entered pro-
ceedings against the paper which published
the story.
The account of the alleged dinner appeared
in the Daily Mail.-London cable to the New

With all respect for ex-President Harrison,
they are not small differences as to details
OF administration which compel the Ameri-
can people to refuse to stand by the presi.
dent in this crisis. The cruel neglect of our
soldiers by the war department which has
filled 1000 graves with the victims of pre-
ventable disease Is not small detail of ad'
ministration. The introduction of 5000, 900
cheap laborers into our country by the an
nexation of the Philippines is not small
detail. These are very large matters. They

Three Great Judges.

The sensible, independent voter Of what
ever party or shade OF politics, when he gets
to the justices of the supreme court, will
place his little cross opposite the names of
William Mitchell, Daniel Buck and Thomas
Canty.-Dodge Center Record
The voters must not forget Judges Canty
and Mitchell. These judges have made rep
utation as fearless and upright judges. Their
fame as great jurists is national, and the
people of this state should honor them by
re-electing them to the supreme bench.-Little
Falls Herald.
Judges Mitchell and CAVITY are SO popular
with the people that there is not the slightest
danger Of their defeat.-Appleton Press.
When you vote on Nov. 8, don't neglect to
put a mark opposite the names of Mitchell
Canty and Buck, three of the best supreme
court judges the state ever had. They should
be elected by overwhelming majorities.-St
James Journal.

The Army investigation.

1t is altogether too early to say that the
investigation of army administration will turn
out valueless. There are some officers of VOL
unteers who apparently are too grateful for
their commissions, but their ignorance or
blindness cannot possibly overcome the effect
of authentic stories of hardship, cruelty, in
difference and incapacity which have come to
us from officers of the line and from the
men. Gen. F. V. Greene struck a true note
the other day in his testimony when he said
that the army was organized for peace, and
could not move in an emergency. Maj. Gal
lagher also told some wholesome truths about
the ineficiency of civilian officers and the in
adequacy and unfitness of the rations. The
fact Is that no testimony like that of Gen.
Wheeler, intended to show that conditions
were good, can square with the reports of
the general and other officers from the field.
nor with the effort of the heads of the war de-
partment to turn the blame of the hastv
movement from Tampa upon Admiral SamD
son and the navy. 1t will be impossible for
Gen. Shafter and those who are supporting
him to make the country believe that the
navy, which did everything itself so well. Ia
responsible for his own incapacity, or for the
incapacity or ignorance of the men under
whose immediate orders he was If they ara

OF the navy has already remarked. a very
dangerous one for them.-Harper's Weekly.

they have been bloody and have sacrificed

America has spent more than Britain in war
