The Democratic WAY.

On another page of today's G o e
Will be found a timely letter from Bos-
ton, telling how Democrats do some
things in Massachusetts, where the
party has been torn by the events of
the last two years as much, perhaps,
as in any other state, East or West.
Differing Democrats came together in
the municipal campaign in New York,
last November, and elected their candi-
date for mayor by a prodigious plu
rality--and that, too, in the face of the
fact that the Republican newspapers
and the mugwump newspapers howled
vociferously against him.
In one short month thereafter, the
Democrats Of Boston also fought out
municipal campaign on local issues,
and in spite of all opposition, within
and without their ranks, reelected a
Democratic mayor-and the Democratic
party has been correspondngly bene-
fitted.
How this was done is told most en-
tertainingly by The G o b.e's CORE
spondent, and it is mighty good Sun
day reading for sensible men.
Most Of us learn a little by eX-
perience, as we jog along.
Wise men learn much from observa
ton as well as experience.

is Senator Allen. 1t is not yet two
years since the Monroe doctrine was
eXpounded, with a breadth and force
never given to it before, by Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Olney in the Venezuela
case. 1t was then proved that it has
tremendous meaning, and this mean
ing was stated in terms so specific and
so forceful that the British government
yielded to the representation. A doc
trlne that compelS the British people
to relnquish a scheme of territorial
conquest and to relax their grip upon
a helpless people has a good deal of
vitality.
The Monroe doctrine has today, by
reason of this incident, a meaning and
vital force such as it had not pos
sessed for half a century before. When
we wonder sometimes at the perform
ances of ignorance like that of Mr.
Allen, we have to bear in mind the
equally startling and reprehensive per-
formances of intelligence as represent
ed in these comments of the Evening
Post These are cases where extremes

programme was severely classical, and those

But there was good representation of mu-

they were rewarded.
Mr.. Rummel did a daring thing. He played
one of those strict programmes. His selections
composed by Beethoven, Handel,
Brahms, Chopin and Rubnstein in their most
technical and religious moods. Those seec-
tions are not familiar, and Mr.. Rummel be-
came monotonous in the course of an hour,
to the majority of his audience.
Along towards the close of the programme,
he played Strauss waltz, Man Lebt Muir
Einmal," arranged by Tausig. So over
whelming was his triumph that he had to
repeat it. The rarity of genuine encore at
piano recital is proverba. The audience
began to appreciate the artist.

insisted that Herr Rummel return and make
his bow Herr Rummel returned and bowed.
Herr Rummel has more respect fog the

Otherwise he would have selected a more

FRIENDS OF MRS. MORRIS
Make Their Statement Concerning
Her Candidacy.
To The St. Paul Globe

To The St. Paul Globe:
There are points regarding the twenty vice
presidents general. National Society d. A. r.,
which we desire the Minnesota public to bet,
ter understand, for we notice in the Duluth
papeA the statement that Mrs. Norris
candidacy was untimely, and that Mrs. New
port was the logical candidate" The office
OF vice president general was not created to
honor retiring state regents, nor to reward
those who have rendered valuable service to
the society. The national constitution pro-
vides honorary offices for this contingency
and the retiring state regent of Minnesota
was unanimously elected by our delegation
honorary state regent as a testimonial for
service rendered. These twenty vice presl-
dents general are absolutely necessary to
carry on the administrative work of our
national society, and the most important
qualification for candidate is that she be
able to attend the monthly meetings Of the
national board of management and one to
do this should reside in or near Washing
ton, or pledge herself to attend at least
four of such meetings a year. Again, the
objection raised that Mrs Morris had
been SO short time a member of the So
ciety. Permit US to explain that this point
mas no bearing whatever upon the eligibility
OF candidate for any office whatsoever pro-
ylded for in the constitution of the National
Society Daughters of the American ReVOlu-
ton. For example, the first time Mrs AdIai

vice president general at the recent congress-
vas only admitted to the national society
Jan. y, 1898, less than one month prior to her
nomination and election. We could cite many
other cases.
Mrs. Page Morris was the first Minnesota
candidate for the office of vice president GEN
eral to be presented to those who so ardently
and faithfully supported her; her name hay-
ing first been mentioned early in December
last. and not brought forward to defeat
another, as has been stated, and the fact
that she received 800 votes in the Seventh
Continental congress and was therefore one
OF the twenty-tour vice presidents elected
$50 being necessary to a choice-should and
does show beyond all possible question that
the congress desired to place her upon the
national board of management of the d. A.
r., regardless of all opposition, and that
she alone was the logical candidate for
Minnesota.
We would add that never before in the
history of the society has there been so few
nominations for vice presidents general. nor
among the number so many well known and
able women, thus making choice extremely
dihcult. We hear nothing but expressions
of regret that Mrs. Morris was not enc of the

the stanza exceed our limits Of space

that are so plentiful as to make Sc

with a nice and necessary discrimina-

him:
minds that act in their proper sphere
May fill their measure Of glory here,
While those that mount the doubtful tide

Having thus swept the strings of his
Tyre in a delicate prelude, the singer
strikes into the motif of his song:
THAT God in nature and every part
However small. has a vital spark
Through boundless space and space minute,
From giant oaks and flowers that shoot,
Even the dust that our feet have tread
Has life and power to raise the dead"
Finicky critics will, of course, resent
the confusion of the lenses in the last
couplet, and. had not Browning and

The Home Product Exhibit.

Tomorrow morning there opens in
Market hall an exhibit Of the various
articles Of household economy which
are the product of st. Paul industries.
The purpose of it is to make the con-
sumers of this city acquainted with
what is being done here, what is made
here, with the very reasonable eXpecta-
ton that, when they see that the ar
ticles they daily buy and use are made
by their fellow citizens, that they are
at least as good as those made else
where and brought here for sale, the
spirit of local pride will reinforce that
of self-interest and induce an exclusive
patronage of the homemade articles
The appeal comes with two-fold force.
Every loyal citizen Of the city feels
pride in its growth and advance
ment. The key to the problem of mu-
nicipal growth is local manufa ctures
AS these increase, more people are elm
ployed, more capital engaged, more
home business done. AS they wane, the
city declines, values diminish, fortunes
decay. 1t is the mere self-interest of
every citizen to foster that which will
promote the increase of the quantity
of consumable things made here
The appeal is to the higher motives
as we'll as the love of locality. The germ
of patriotism is zeal for home and
its interests, broadening out to include
the state and the nation. If the germ is
lacking, national patriotism is nom
existent. Patriotism, like charity, be-
gins at home. During all next week
