Our Peace Commission.

The reports which come from Paris
concerning the progress that is being
made there in the completion of peace
treaty between Spain and this country
are not so encouraging as the people
might reasonably hope for. The same
policy Of discussion and inaction which
was so conspicuous in the weeks pend
ing the declaration of war, as initiated
by the Spaniards, is evident at the
present time. 1t is not to be expected
that the Dons will yield up their pos
sessions with entire amiability. After
all, when we come to think of their
surrender Of Cuba and Porto Rico in
this hemisphere and Of the possibility
OF their being compelled to relinuuish
in some form or other their sovereignty
over the Philippines in the other, thew
can hardly be blamed for their hesita
ton. The sacrifice is considerable: they
have strong and determined nation
to deal with; they find the sympathies
of the English speaking people against
them; they may not be without hope
of some Intervention, consequently de-
lay on their part is justifable, no mat
ter how undesirable it may seem to
our own people in their impatience to
adjust the difficulty on firm and last
ing basis.
Just now it would seem that the

Fair Methods in Politics.

The Democrats of Ramsey county,
representing one-half Of the popula
ton at least, possibly more, for Demo-
Gratis are not wanting in progeny, yes
terday filed petitions with the county
auditor to provide for representation on
the official ballot. The petitions were
publican county committee, acting
through the Republican county attor-
ney. 1t has generally been held that
the action of the county attorney was,
in the first instance, caused by a very
small desire on the part Of the Repub-
liCan party to force the Democrats to
seek redress in the courts rather than
to stimulate them to the securing Of
petitions. It is hardly likely that such
clever practical politicians as are in
cluded within the Plunderbund would
force any such action knowing that
the Democracy would Immediately set
about the securing of petitions. What
ever the causes inspiring the Repub-
licars, the results are not unsatisfac-
tory to the Democrats.
It has been made perfectly clear to
the taxpayers that the desire of the
IlSpuDilCcLS Is 10 cOnIfO1 the OTnc6S
without regard to the will OF the peo-
pie. If 1t had been possible to shut
the Democrats out that would have
been done. It seems, however, that the
Republicans overplayed their holdings,
and the Democrats assumed a meek
and lOwly attitude without argument
If they had waited for adjudication Of
the question Of rights, it might have
been too late to go on the ballot by
petition
The Democrats are to be congratulate
ed on the event 1t had the immedi-
ate effect Of bringing the candidates
directly into touch with the people, and
it demonstrated by the numerous sig
natures to the petitions that the Dem
Ocratic interest is very close to the
hearts Of the people. On the returns
Of the petitions-many Of them signed
by Republicans indignant over the &C
ton of the Republican machine in at
tempting to disfranchise a very con-
siderable portion of the communicate
is apparent, almost conclusively so, that
the Democrats will win in the county
campaign The Republicans forced the
test, and the Democrats should be
grateful for the opportunity that was
pushed upon them to show their
strength and the proof of the sympathy

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 1S.-At today's ses-
sion of the Prison association it was decided
to hold winter session at New Orleans. be-
ginning Jan. p. The committee on criminal
law reform made report through Thomas
h. Ellison, of Fort Wayne, Ind. He said that
the subject covers every one with which the
association has anything to do.
The committee, he said had letters from
persons In every state In the Union, in which
they say they are In favor Of bringing about
better condition of affairs and Of having fine
laws more closely followed.
The Wardens' association elected officers As
follows: President A. T. Hart. warden 81

Inc commissioners suavely remark
tnat: 1T is the opinion of the commits
sion, as a result Of it's Investigations,
that seine of the complaints are due to
the difference in price between 1 and
northern wheat This difference
is deplorable." Well the commissioners
confess to having touched the hem of
the garment of the ghost, at least. The
fact is. the difference between 81
and northern"i affords the tempta-
ton to inspectors to grade falsely, as
complained of. and whatever the pas
slVe rule Of the commission may be,
the practice appears to have been, ac-
cofulng TO the statement submitted, to
grace considerable volumes of wheat
IN favor OF some other interest than
that OF the farmer, resulting in a ode
plorab.e' loss to the producer because
OF this very difference in price be-
tween the two grades
AS matter of course, the commission
uphold the system of inspection and
express their confidence that all the
rules have been complied with. They
close their findings suggestively in the
following language:
1t is for the people of the state in
their sovereign capacity to determine
whether this service shall be continued
or whether it shall be changed, modi-
fed or abolished altogether"
This really has something of the
sound of What are you going to do

II was decided to establish headquarters at

early session today. which lasted until after
O'CLOCK, was devoted to speeches Of mem
Ders OF the commission as to what should be
the scope Of the investigation
Mr.. Ratchford, OF Indiana representins the
miners organization. said that the miners
trouble is caused by lack Of education and
should have the serious consideration Of the
commission. Most of the labor troubles were
due to ignorance.
Mr.. Farquahr, Of Buffalo, also emphasized
the necessity for greater education among
laboring interests. The high class OF intelll-
gehce round among the typographical classes,
he attributed to better educational facilities.
In general way the speeches pointed out
that the chief aim Of the investigation was to
discover the reasons for the conflict between
labor and capital and make recommendations
for remedies; that the committee will look for
important results and the bringing about Of
great good to the masses
1t was agreed that Senator Kyle at the
afternoon session should appoint a committee
of seven on procedure which before the next
session Will make comprehensive arrange
ments, mapping out the lines Of the investi-
cation determining its limits, carefully ex-
aiming the state laws on the five main sub
jects to be considered viz: immigration,

Republican Diplomatic spoOlks.

A prominent Republican politician who has
taken conspicuous part in some Of the hot
test national campaigns Of the past, and who
this year has been outwardly helping whistle
to keep the party's courage up, stated to a
visitor this morning. in private conversation
that he had been travelling extensively through
the West, and that unless some big stroke
were made between now and Nov 1 the party
was doomed to one Of the most disastrous de-
feats in its history. eff l were running this
campaign" said he, II would spring some
kind Of serious foreign complication upon
the country within the next ten days Moth
ing else can save the administration"
In the opinion of some of the shrewdest OBJ
servers here that is precisely what the ad-
ministration Is preparing to do. The war
ended too soon for its best effect upon Re-
publican prospects. The stories which have
been current within the last week, as to
bitches feared in the negotiations at Paris
and Havana, have largely come from sources
friendly to the party in power. This has given
them good deal Of undeserved weight In
the minds of persons who are not accustomed
to studying the partisan phases of such mat
tiers. Actually there has probably not been
serious danger at any minute that the nego-
uations between the two governments would
result otherwise than successfully; but with a.
view to stirring up the fire of patriotism. so
called. which was expected to take men to
the polls on Nov. s. and insure their voting

best to keep a few well-selected diplomatic
spooks in sight till the need Of such aids had
