Music and the Library,

To The St. Paul Globe:
In commenting editorially on my communi-
cation under the above heading published in
your columns this morning respectfully sub
nit that you overlooked the main question
l. E., can both organizations, acting indie
pendently, reasonably expect the financial
backing necessary even to pay expenses?
This seems at least doubtful, while the pros
pect of net profit seems impossible If one
or the other should yield, which one? I ap-
prehend there can be but one answer to the
latter question.
1t seems like expecting too much from a.
generous public to ask financial backing with
such prospects, for both programmes; and
overrating its capacity for musical digestion.
Eleven high class concerts in one season are
a large amount. The Schubert club proposes
five, exclusive of the club recitals, and Mr..
Feldhauser nine. If Mr.. Feldhauser secures
a guarantee Of $4,000 to cover expenses OF
artists and auditorium what prospect is left
for the Schubert club? If both compete for
the public support what are the prospects of
each? II the resulting benefit to the library
fund is the object to be attained, it can be
more surely accomplished by co-operation
than by competition with the Schubert club.
which by priority of existence and It's ad-
mitted admirable record Is entitled to the
right OF way. If Mr.. Feldhauser would place
the management in the hands Of the club and
turn over to 1t such contracts complete and
incomplete as he may have, and then lend
his valuable assistance to the club manage
ment l have no doubt that arrangements
could be made that would net the library
fund at least large a sum as could DOS
sibly be obtained by Independent action even
in clear field. Richards Gordon

Let Us Ston and Think.

good many things have come to
pass since the last national election
took place, and there have been a good
many events calculated to confuse the
public mind. The war between this
country and Spain has led to a diver
sion of thought from many substantial
issues which in ordinary conditions
would have commanded more thought
than has been bestowed upon them.
The Dingley tariff bill, in it's OPERA
ton, has received slight attention be-
cause of the fact that the country
has been obliged to raise large sums of
revenue for war purposes. All this
has been done by the people in re-
Spouse to patriotic impulse. 1t must
stand to the credit of the Democratic
party that there has been no mulish-
ness, no hesitation, no carping crit
cism of the Republican administration
throughout all this ordeal of war. But
We have reached the point where Re-
publican conventions are meeting and
passing resolutions derogatory. In
many respects, to the Democratic mar
ty. This is unfair. The fact should
not be lost sight Of that the Democrat
ic party has been as loyal to the flag
as the Republican party. The war
came, as it had to come, in obedience
to popular clamor 1t is not right that
the Republicans should endeavor 10
impress upon the country and the vot-
ers that the triumph over Spain and
to the advantage of Cuba was wholly
a party accomplishment
The people should allow themselves
to settle down to condition of reflec-
ton, in the process Of which they
should measure accurately the division
al lines between the parties, just the
same as if the patriotic impulse which
led to our triumph over Spain had not
occurred. We must not have our eyes
blinded to administrative faults; nei-
Their do we want to purposely misrep-
resent good services performed. But
higher than these are principles that
must be protected. The Democratic
party stands for a conservatism which
ought not to be sacrificed In the CLAM
our OF victory over q foreign foe.

IMPORTANT SITTING.
Much Is Expected From the Peace
Commission Today.

PARIS, Oct. 6.-Comments on the
United States gentle participation in
Chinese affairs continue in several of
the morning papers. Denis Guibert, in
the Figaro, offers an explanation OF the
sending of American warsnips to China
that is worthy of note. considering it's
source. He says that perhaps President
Mckinley wishes, in return for the
/ tncontestable services rendered to
America by Great Britain in the late
war, SO to dispose part Of the Asiatic'
fleet of the United States as TO afford
the English representative at Pekin a
preteXt for immediate interference or
his government a precedent for future
action.
La Liberte of this evening says that
the Americans, who by the position
they have taken I'm the Pacific are
becoming a colonial power. do not mean
to be left out on the day when the big
Chinese cake is cut up.
Still another aspect of the affair is
prese nted in a dispatch that the inn
pending naval demOnstra ton fOrebodes

object OF which is to prevent CppOsi-
ton on the part Of the powers to Amer
lean designs in the Philippines The
real motive of the telegram is reveal
Ell IN the portion which declares that
this manifestation carries the idea Of

an assertion plainly meant to have an
influence on the deliberations OF the

has already been directed in these dis
patches to these Madrid kilograms to
the Paris press, which are intended
solely for continental consumption.
Nevertheless they fall quite fiat. Spain
cut too sorry a figure last summer to
awaken further sympathy in Europe.

ed Spanish absurdities the compliment

COLORED PORTER'S STORY.
1t Might Indicate Trouble Between
Walter Todd and Another


The mystery concerning the suicide
Of Walter d. Todd, the sixteen-year-ol
boy who shot himself through the heart
in the st. Paul & Duluth offices Thurs
day morning, is still as impenetrable as
ever.
1t has been said by some OF the en-
ployes OF the st. Paul s. Duluth gem
era! onices that Todd was on bad terms
with Carl =. Wahlstrom, assistant to
purchasing Agent Schoff, and that hot
words have been frequently exchanged
between the two clerks Wahlstroqn
is Todd's superior, and, according to
the story. Todd often refused to exc
cute certain orders given by Wahl-
strom.
William Stafford, colored, who first
saw Todd Wednesday morning, before
the fatal shot was fired, said that the
boy told him he was going to shoot a
Swede."
Wahlstrom, when seen, denied that ne
had any trouble with Todd, and said
that the last time he saw the boy alive
the latter was in the best of spirits
No one seems to know where Todd
spent Tuesday night. He was not
home, nor was he at the Metropolitan
theater, where he is employed at nights
as an usher.
