A CLEAN SWEEP

If the simon-pure gospel Of Republi-
canism is to be followed, it appears
that we shall not need to wait until
the next election, or until Mr.. Doran
is able to carry out his policies, for
that clean sweep" in the public Of
fees of this city that is so dear to
the Republican spoilsman's heart. Mr.
Wolterstorff is quoted, in an interview
in the Dispatch, upon the Iamentable
outcome Of Mayor Doran's attempt to
revolutionize the water board In the
interest Of Republican politics. Mr..
Wolterstorff mingles his briny tears
with those Of Mr.. Doran. 1t Is to him
the most outrageous thing that COM
petent men should be continued in
their places, although they are con-
fessed Democrats, when there are pa
triotic Republicans anxiously waiting
for a chance at the crib.
Then, too Mr.. Wolterstorff notices.
as the Clio e pointed out the other
day, that Mr.. Bement, who claims to
be Republican, has been guilty Of the
hideous crime Of lese majestic st no
tice that he admits" says Mr.. VOL
terstorff, that he said some very harsh
things about the mayor in his CONVEX
sation with me. I should think he
did. After talking in that manner to
us about the appointing power, I can
not say that there is any other honor
able course for him to pursue than to
resign from the position he holds" We
have it, therefore, on the authority of
this eminent Republican, that a. per-
son who holds the views which Mr..
Bement Is credited with entertaining.
also with expressing them in some
what vigorous terms, cannot hold with
propriety an office under the present
administration. All persons so men
tally afflicted, all who are not filled
with reverence for Mr.. Doran's "hal-
lowed person. and who do not put on
the darkest shade Of smoked specta-
cles when they gaze upon the scintil-
latfons of his magnificent intelligence,
are unfit for public station; and, by
that token, they should bring their Of
fees, badges, honors and emoluments.
cast them down at the feet Of our
mighty municipal ruler, put their fore
heads in the dust and cry ''peccavi,"
and depart thereafter into everlasting
humiliation and nothingness.
The new rule, therefore, and what we
may assume to be a fundamental prin-
ciple Of local Republicanism, is that the
man who fails in reverence for Mr..
Doran is not fit to hold local office.
and that there Is nothing for him to
do but to resign his place. We have
this from the lips of the disciple who
self in the faith at the feet of his mas
ter-Mr. Wolterstorff himself. If this
be Republican doctrine, and 1t seems to
be so accepted, we see no escape from
a general exodus Of officeholders from
the places now occupied by them at
the city hall. If no man who regards
Mayor Doran as beneath his contempt,
If no man who cherishes, secretly or
openly an utter loathing of his politics
and policies, If no man who entertains
such opinions as have been credited to
Mr.. Bement is fit to hold local station,
then probably every Republican now
in office in Ramsey county, aside from
Mr.. Wolterstorff, and not impossibly
including that gentleman himself,

ESTERHAZY INNOCENT.
verdict OF Not Guilty Returned by
the Military Court.


PARIS, Jan. II. - The Esterhazy
court martial depended upon by the
friends Of the condemned captain. as
a means of securing freedom or. at
least, a new trial for Dreyfus, came to
an end today. The case for the pros
ecution fattened out, and a unanimous
verdict Of not guilty was returned by
the military court. The principal wit
ness Of the day was Col Picquart
whose testimony was taken behind
closed doors.
The taking Of the testimony ended al
o'clock this afternoon, when the gov.
ernment's representative briefly ad-
dressed the court. Counsel for Maj.
EsterhaZy followed. The secret de-
liberation of the court martial, which
followed. terminated at SIS p. m,
when the president read the Judgment
as follows:
The president put the following ques-
ton to the court: rs Maj. Esterhazy
guilty Of having had dealings with
foreign power or its agents, to incite
them to commit hostilities or under
take war against France, or procure
the means of doing SOP"
The president, in giving his opinion,
said the court, declared unanimously
upon the aforesaid question that the
accused was not guilty.
The president then ordered Maj. Es-
terhazy to be liberated
Matthew Dreyfus, on emerging, was
not recognized by the crowd. Col
Picquart, who followed him, was ac-
eompanied by some friends. Maj.
Esterhazy appeared alone at 8:20 p. m.
and proceeded to the prison of Cher
cheMidiX. The crowd greeted him
with cries of 'Vlve Parmee," ''Vive Ia
Commandante Esterhazy," and tried
to shake hands with him. Directly
Esterhazy entered the prison the police
cleared the streets.

MILLIONS IN DUST
Waiting at Dawson to BE Brought to
fs- the United States. a.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 1.-THE
steamer City of Topeka, from Juneau,
Alaska, had among her passengers nine
men who left Dawson City, Dec. 8.
They were W. J. Jones, Port Town
send, Wash; D. D. Stewart, Juneau,
Alaska; A. A Soldier, Nova Scotia; F.
C. Arnold San Francisco; w. G. Stem
ger, Colville, Wash; Harry Miller, Col
vile, Wash; J. Cordroy, Denver;
George Anderson, Tacoma, and Robert
Johnson, Tacoma.
They were twenty-four days coming
from Dawson to the coast. Their jour
ney was attended by no special incl
dent. The coolest weather recorded
was IS below zero. The party brought
out with them $4,000 in gold dust and
drafts. Dog teams were used in max
ing the trip. The party brings no fea-
lures in reference to the food situation
at Dawson. They all agreed that food
is scarce, but that there is no danger
of starvation. If a large number of
persons had not gone down the river
to Fort Yukon and Circle City, to spend
the winter, a different tale would
have been told. F. G. Arnold said:
There is no danger of starvation. Of
course, there is not food enough, but
that was always true in the Yukon,
and always will be. There is a big
warehouse Of beef at Dawson. Next
winter will be far worse than this, be-
cause there will be many more people
there"
In reference to the proposed govern
ment relief expedition, all agree that,
while it is not needed to avert actual
want, it will be welcomed nevertheless.
w. J. Jones says: "The output Of
gold in the spring will be from SIS, 000,-

CURED in by the transportation COM
pany managers and Alexander McDon-
aid, the richest man in the Klondike.

AS naval station and as a sugar producer
the islands would undoubtedly be a valuable
acquisition If they could be secured in such
a manner as to not be embarrassing in the
future.-Northfield News.
Here we have the contradiction of a paper
that wants the beet sugar industry Of this
country encouraged, fostered with tariffs and
bounties so we can produce all the sugar we
use and so save hundred million annually,
regarding valuable acquisition the
Hawaiian islands because they are ''sugar
producer" Minnesota appropriates 5000 to
buy beet seed and offers bounty of cent
pound on al sugar made from state-grown
beets. and her senators work to annex
Hawaii, so that her 100000 tons of sugar can
have free access to our markets, sugar made
by coolie labor to compete with sugar made
by our farm labor. Evidently none Of these
wears the jewel of consistency.

OF COURSE HE DID.

Mr.. Mark Hanna is a man of judi
means. He sized up the situation yes
terday with the eye Of a cautious hus-
bandman and gathered in exactly the
number Of votes necessary to secure
his reelection. He did not waste a
nickel or purchase an unnecessary
man. He is a thrifty genius, is Mar
Gus, and while he is willing to put up
all that he has to- he is not going to
be bled except to a purpose. How
much it cost Mr.. Hanna to secure his
reelection will never be known. What
the American people do know is their
experience of the saturnalia of dis
gushing political crime that has held
the boards at Columbus for the last
ing bees as a stain upon the American
name, and decry the want Of fineness
in national manners sometimes; but no
disgrace is comparable with that fas-
tened upon US by this offering of SEN
atorships in the auction mart, this
placing American dignity and honor
and political place in the open sham
bles. What respect can attach to the
United States senate when men are
chosen to it in this way, and what
must be the educative effect upon
young men entering politics in Ohio,
to have seen a leading candidate held
up by members Of the Legislature as
truly as If 1t had been at the point Of
a revolver and his pockets gone
through until the highwaymen had OBJ
tanned their demand?
AS the G o b e has said from the
beginning, there was never a really
reasonable doubt Of Mr.. Hanna's cleo
ton. The Forakers and Bushnells, no
doubt, would have liked to put a. dan
gerous rival out Of the way, but they
could not compass his defeat. The fact
him was utilized by boodlers in the
legislature, and they found it the op-
portunity of a lifetime. Practically
the entire anti-Hanna demonstration
was game in which one set Of fellows
captured the organization and such
stray bits of patronage as were lying
about, and another set levied black
mail on Mark Hanna and compelled
him to make terms or suffer defeat. If
there has been anything more disgrace
full in American history than this
shameless degradation Of a political
event Of the first magnitude to the
strictly commercial basis, we cannot
recall it. Mr.. Hanna had contracted
for his goods and they have been de-
livered to him; and Mr. Mckinley is
relieved from the dread apprehension
that his first lieutenant will not be
the leader Of his cohorts next time.
and that Ohio will fall away from the
standard. At what a price has this
personal gain been purchased, and how
deep and black the pit which RepubH-
can politics continually opens before
the decent and honorable people of
this nation!
