MIR. NASH TO MR.. ERWIN
COPY OF A LETTER THAT PASSED
BETWEEN THEM
The Citizens Party Candidate for
Mayor Informs His Friend That
He Is I'm the Race to Stay Until
After the Ballots Have All Been
Carefully Counted.

Louis Nash took his pen in hand the
other day and wrote these four lines"
to w. w. Erwin.
Mr.. Nash has been nominated by the
Citizens party as their candidate for
mayor and expects to secure an in
dorsement by the Peoples party.
1t seems that he thought of declining
to allow the use of his name until some
unpleasant incident occurred. Then he
flew to his pen, with the following re-
suit:
st. Paul, Feb. 20, 'S7.-Hon. W. W. Err
win-Friend Erwin: After the treatment
received at the hands OF Mr.. Richard Bell
L desire to inform you that withdraw my
promise to retire from the mayoralty race
in your favor in the event of your receiving
the Endorsement Of organized labor prior to
the convention of the Peoples party.
L shall make the race now, matter
who else is nominated, nor how many tick
cts may be in the field, and prove to Mr..
Bell and his ilk that there is at least one
man in st. Paul that money cannot buy nor
threats intmidate.
When Mr.. Bell found that persuasion was
OF no avail, he resorted to the tactics of
name to be used in connection with the
mayoralty nomination in order that l might
sell out for pecunary consideration. and
then offered me $500 to withdraw my name.
This took place at the corner of Sixth and
Robert streets. while l was waiting for a
car, in the presence of Mr.. Pat Scannell
Mr.. Healy, and a member of the local hack
and cab drivers union. l am sincerely
your friend, Louis Nash.

Should Be Strengthened Out.

There is no question in the mind of
any Democrat, whatever may have
been his past position in the party,
and with whatever faction of the local
Democracy he may have affiliated here
tofore. that all questions of regular
fty" should be determined Immediately
and the right to places on the general
ballot decided. There is at the present
moment, as far as we are aware, little.
If any. feeling Of animosity among
Democrats as a relic of the campaign
of two years ago. There is a general
desire for harmony, and a spirit Of
good feeling prevails all around. Every
man of common sense knows that the
Republican party will be beaten out
of its boots two months hence on the
record that it has made if there is har-
mony in the opposition Everybody
| knows that. if the Democratic party
divides its forces, it will find it i'm
possible to win.
1t is the general assumption, borne
| out, happily. as far as we know, by all
the facts, that there will be complete
unity of opinion and of action among
the Democrats this spring Certainly
| the very first step which they should
! take toward this end is to ascertain
what party organization and under
| what name is entitled to recognition
| on the official ballot in behalf of the
Democratic candidates. The legal
| questions involved are many and some
what obscure. The split in the party
two years ago, the nomination of can
didates by petition, the perpetuation
of two or more Independent organiza-
lions, when brought up against the
Australian ballot system, create some
little complication.
This question ought to be straight
ened out by a friendly conference and
agreement. but 1t is very poor policy
to let things drift The city election is
only a little over two months away.
the party conventions will meet with
in three weeks; and misunderstandings
and possible danger may arise if all
questions Of regularity and right to
place candidates on the official ballot
are not decided before then. We COM
mend this matter very seriously to the
immediate attention of the leaders of
local Democracy.

ENJOYS HIS OWN SONG.
Paul Dresser, Author of "Bnnks OF
the Wabash" I'm the City.


In the very last row of the parquet circle
at the Metropolitan opera house, last night,
sat man of broad and rotund proportions.
In the very last act of 1.-THE Great Diamond
Robbery now holding the boards at this
playhouse, a young man of comparatively
diminutive proportions sang "On the Banks
of the Wabash"
The people who heard and applauded this
pretty song little dreamed that Its author
midst'-even though he did occupy back
seat.
Mr. Dresser is in st. Paul on business. He
has left the theatrical profession and for the
past three years has devoted all his time to
composing popular songs.
81 came up here" said Mr.. Dresser to a
G o b e reporter last evening. Ito call on
the music houses which handle the compost

my friends in the Twin Cities"
Mr. Dresser is the Co" of Howley, Havi-
land G. Co.. publishers of music. whose head
quarters are in New York city.
Popular songs are easily learned and easily
sang, but Mr.. Dresser denies that they are
easily written. But he has composed some
winners" and believes that he has a few
more coming.
1t was Mr.. Dresser who penned and composed
that popular ballad which expresses the abid-
ing credulity of the young man in the state
ments his mother made to him. Mr.. Dresser
also conceived and created that melodious
combination of words and music, "Just Tell
Them That You Saw Me-"
81 have a sequel to that song. which in

Now that the war fever is spreading from
ocean to ocean. attacking all citizens from
judges on the bench to the humbest civilians.
Mr.. Dresser has composed patriotic ballad.
which will be entitled "a Mothers Sacrifice -
The song recites the noble sentiments of a
mother who gives her only son to her coun-
trv's service.
Mr. Dresser will remain in st. Paul for a
few days.

CALL 1T NON-PARTIsAN.

for Better Government.

An organization of German residents OF St
Paul, with the declaration OF nom artlsanship
and the better administration of public
Offices was perfected at meeting last even
ing at A. o. U. W. Temple, Eighth and Wa

First Vice President-F. f. Wilde.
Second Vice President. II. Wolterstorff.
Secretary-Albert Schaedlich.

Attorney-Otto Kuefner.
About forty citizens attended the meeting.
A number of speeches were made relative to
the local political situation. when Otto Kueff-
ner read declaration of purposes for the pro-
posed organization.
The document set forth that the organlza-
ton is to be composed Of German Americans
only associated together for the publication
of municipal politics. 1t was to be a non
partisan organization advocating civil SER
vice in city affairs.
These sentiments were acceptable to the
gathering, and the organization per-
fecte6.

ward clubs among the German Americans in
every part of the city and to establish a
central committee by selecting two repre-
sentatives from each ward club.

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.

There are opportunities in "The Great
Diamond Robbery the melcdrama presented
at the Metropolitan opera house last night,
for players Of conspicuous ability to produce
effects
AS melodramas go, this is good sample.
The dialogue is direct and reasonably con-
else, the situations are exciting, though not
thrilling, and the action is not delayed by
long speeches or soliloquies.
The company presenting this melodrama is
not exactly in sympathy with it-apparently.
1t is one Of those plays that need the help
OF players Of more than average merit to
save it. Its lines never rise above the COM
monplace, and consequently the leading
characters must invest their roles with strik-
ing individuality in order to arouse and sus-
tain interest.
Only one member Of the cast succeeded in
accomplishing this feat last night. Jennie
Reifarths representation Of old Mother Ros-
enbaum Is creditable. Miss Reiffarth por-
trays a character that leaves an impress on
the mind.
The ether roles are played in conventional
fashion, with the possible exception of that
of Senator McSorker. the "pothouse POLL
tician." ]. w. Benson gives the character
some distinction in point of makeup and
demeanor, but his impersonation would be
more artistic and effective If Mr.. Benson
would moderate his voice trile and tone
down the bizarre contrasts in his wig. But
perhaps the eternal fitness of things might
be preserved if McSorker were labeled AL
derman" instead Of Senator" AS Aid. Nc
Sorker, Mr.. Benson would pass muster.
Miss Neva Harrison. in the role Of the
prosecuted heroine, labored intelligently,
conscientiously and vigorously, suffering as
she was with bad cold.
The scene representing Mother Rosen-
baum's underground den on Canal street was
effective. but that purporting to picture the
interior of a Fifth avenue mansion Looked as
though the house were groaning under q
heavy mortgage and in need CT a receiver 10

School Fund Shortage.

Milwaukee. March 2, 1898.
The matter at issue in ST Paul Is an
old one. dating back to 1895. In that
year the board of education did not
receive from the tax levy the amount
that it had counted upon to run the
schools during the year. 1t became
apparent, toward the close Of the
school year, that the schools would
close earlier than usual unless some
arrangement could be made. In this
emergency resources were husbanded.
expenditures cut down, and, In order
to keep the schools open, the teachers
worked without pay for about two
weeks at the end of the year. The
matter had been generally forgotten
until the success Of police officers in
recovering back salaries, and Of other
public officials in demanding the pound
of flesh, suggested to the teachers that
they need not be the only ones to give
their services for nothing. Hence their
recent action; which, as we have
shown, has nothing to do with present
conditions in st. Paul.
The difficulty in Minneapolis is of a
different nature and exists at the pres
ent time. 1t has been the custom in
that city, we understand, for some
years, to draw upon the funds of the
next school year to some extent to
discharge current school expenses This
year, owing to shortages in the city
treasury, this could not be done, and
the school fund was found 100000 short
of the amount necessary for annual
expenditures. 1t Is this amount which
the citizens are endeayoring to raise.

lecturers censure, but DR.. Burton said
there was an improvement in that re-
spect of late. That element In Kip
!ing's works had prevented women
from enjoying them. In the place of
Drutanty there was now a superb viril-
!ty that was equaled by no other liv-
ing man. His virility was immense
and he had tremendous impulsive
power
Kipling's humor was best illustrated
in Soldiers Three" and 'Dinah Shadd."
Even his tragedies are given a stroke
OF grim humor, said Dr. Burton. His
strongest work was in the line of the
weird, the horrible, and in those stories
In which the homely pathetic and su-
pernatural elements predominant. This
was illustrated in the Mark of the
Beast and Beyond the Pale"
Dr. Burton spoke Of Kipling's child
stories, and said that he could become
as Child in feeling, and few had ever
done more beautiful things than he.
1t was a singular thing, said Dr. Bur-
ton, that two Of the greatest modern
writer's had used the love motive spar
ingly in their fiction. He referred to
Stevenson and Kipling. Kipling's strong
point was in the use of strong, terse
native idiom. Kipling, he said, has
shown that slang is only idlom in the
making. He is adding new idioms to
nus own speech. Dr. Burton admired
Kfpling's strength Of metaphor and his
superb suppression. He let his readers
imagination complete a picture.
Kipling did not weaken when he left
India. In Many Inventions" were
stories Of many localities and all were
equally virile and true to the life they
depicted. DR.. Burton considered THE
Light That Failed" a remarkable, but
not an even performance. 1t showed
that it's author was best adapted for
the short story.
Captains Courageous" he thought
most remarkable production. 1t smelled
Of the salt sea in every line, and was
recognized by fishermen as a faithful
picture Of life on the Grand Banks.
Why did not an American author do IL -?
But Kipling's most amazing perform
ance was the Jungle Book" which re-
veals wonderfully intimate acquaint-
ance with the animal world. "Tha
White Seal was a story never to be
forgotten.
AS a poet Kipling has attained the
first place, said DR.. Burton. He makes
English speaking race. He has coms
up like a rocket, but he will not Cd
down. AS a ballad writer he was moi
surpassed. Tennyson declared that
Kipling's East and West" was the fin
est in the English tongue.
Dr. Burton closed his lecture by read
ing a number of Kipling's poems and
ballads.
DR.. Burton will lecture tonight in the
same place on Mrs. Humphrey Ward.

BROKE INTO A SAFE.
Burglars Get Into StrOng-Box in
WaIIbIOm & Co.'s Establishment


A bold safe burglary occurred at the fur
niture and carpet store Of Wallblom G Co..
4O2 Jackson street. before daylight yesterday
morning, when thieves succeeded in working
the combination of the safe and securing S95
The burglars secured an entrance to the
store by forcing rear window opening on
to Sixth street alley. There are two safes
in the rear Office side by side. Usually the
firm keeps lis cash in the one attacked by
the burglars, but the previous night Mr.. Wall
blom had transferred 1915 in currency from
this stronghold to the smaller and more
modern SAFE
After successfully opening the safe by the
regulation combination, the burglars broke
off the steel door protecting the cash box and
appropriated the s95 In silver. The police
are investigating the burglary.
Mr. Wallbom says he thinks the burglary
was the work of some one familiar with the
safe combination. and informed the police Of
the fact that the safe was within two weeks
repaired and furnished with new combina-
tior.
