abroad into foreign lands that we are
ried on by our business community, That
is to say: Even II It were the fact that
rotten and rotting beef had been imposed
on the army for fresh and wholesome ra-
lions. there should be no such exposure
of the matter as might reach the ears Of
our foreign customers.
1t Is unhappily the fact that there are
thousands of the most estimable persons
who unthinkingly agree with the morality
and wisdom of this advice. We should
have remained silent. or spoken with the
utmost care and circumspection, while
our soldiers were being supplied with
food unfit for human consumption, and
while they were dying by the hundreds
for the supplies which were actually nee
essary to their condition and situation.
Many of those who would sustain Mr..
Porter and men OF his stamp. WHO can
view no public question save through the
lens of political partisanship, would re-
gard it as an insult to have 1t said
of them that they were capable OF
preaching the moral doctrine of doing
evil that good might follow. Yet in It's
moral effect the advice to ignore or con-
ceal the shocking facts which really no
investigation was needed 30 acquaint the
people of the United States with would
have been preferable to having our Eu-
rcpean customers know of the shameful
showing that was made.
This doctrine of trade expectancy Is
familiar one. 1t has been preached very
which American municipalities have suf-
fered have been not only tolerated but
protected In order to avoid the injury
which it was asserted would spring from
their exposure. We are not unfamiliar
in this community with that sort of pub
lie policy.
OF course it does not matter to Mr.. Por-
ter or those who agree with him that our
foreign customers occupy the idiotic po-
sition of claiming that because there was
dishonesty in the fulfilling of certain
amy contracts for meat supplies, there
fore all meat supplies exported from the
United States are already rotten or rot
ting We must accept this touching form
of logic, and interpose only a general
denial to, the claim that we are in the
business of poisoning those foreigners
who are foolish enough to purchase our
breadstuffs. We have another beautiful
illustration of this sort of thing in the
claim of the imperialists that he who
does not accept unquestioningly the policy
now in operation in the Philippines gives
aid and comfort to the Filipino enemy.
AS long as severe political moralists Of
the Porter type are able to impose such
dishonest doctrines as these on the peo-
pie, just so long are the American people
sure to be regarded by other nations as
casting all thought of right and wrong
aside in their commercial transactions.

CONCERT HELPS $500.
Minnesota State Band Gives the
Fund a Lift.

The concert by the Minnesota State
band at the Grand opera house last even
ing for the benefit of the New Richmond
cyclone sufferers, will net in the neigh
borhood of $500. The theater was we'll
filled with those who purchased tickets
for the twofold reason Of helping the
cyclone victims and also for the privilege
of hearing an excellent musical pro-
gramme, while there were a number of
tickets sold, the holders of which were
not present. The actual count of the
house last evening showed proceeds
amounting to $316 Manager w. J. Tom
kins estimates that this sum will be aug
mented to at least $500.
From a musical standpoint the con-
cert was rare treat. The programme
was well chosen, and the band was
obliged to respond to an encore after
each number. Under the direction of
Prof. Selling the musicians played with
almost faultless execution and effective
harmony. The plaintive reeds blended
soothingly with the brass in combinations
of shading and expression that marked
the Minnesota State band an excellent
concert organization. A selection from
"Cavalleria Rusticana," including the
ever-pleasing intermezzo, proved the pop
ular number of the evening. An over
ture entitled DIANA" composed by Con-
ductor Selling, was enthusiastically re-
ceived.
The soloist of the occasion was Mrs
Jessica de Wolf, whose soprano voice
was heard to excellent advantage in sew
eral numbers. Mrs. Frank Hoffman Off
ciated at the piano as accompanist Mrs.
De Wolf received two beautiful bouquets
Of roses. In acknowledgment she sang
most charmingly as the concluding
number of her part of the programme

The NeilI Stock company, will present

afternoon and the last performance to-

excellent style has materially added to
the popularity of the Neill company.
Tomorrow night and for the remainder
of the week Mansield's "A Partisan
Romance" will be the bill. That great ac-
tor made this play famous. and it was in
this that he achieved his first great sue
cess. The Neill production has been high
ly commended in other cities. Elaborate
special scenery will be used and the piece
will be staged in a manner in keeping
with the reputation of Mr.. Neill and his
company. The present engagement of the
Neill company will close Saturday night;
from here they go to Minneapolis, re-
turning to st. Paul next month.

He Has THE STAGE.

Dom Paul still holds the boards. He
is. in fact. on the middle of the stage
and he promises to occupy 1t for some
time to come, even to the exclusion Of
that other star actor, Joseph Chamber
lain.
According to the cable dispatches. Mr.
Chamberlain's popularity and that of his
colonial policy are decidedly on the wane
case of Paul Kruger. He still remains
one of the most decisive and picturesque
of the characters at present on the foot
boards of the world. The burghers have
met to the number of some hundred
and have declared that their president
shall be sustained, Notwithstanding that,
like the peaceful men they are, they dep
recate war.
1t does not seem to cut very much fig
ure just how the English press choose to
regard President Kruegers recent state
ments as to the attitude of the republic.
If he has, as is said, one set of opinions
and one policy for the delectation of his
fellow burghers and another set of opin-
ions and another policy wherewith to pia-
cate English opinion. it is at least to be
said that that is altogether a new devel-
opment in the conduct of the old man in
is he in the least bit disturbed at the re-
ported appearance Of several British men
of-war at the entrance of Delagoa bay
If it is the purpose of England to swoop
down on him and his as soon as the re-
port Of their high commissioner Is re-
ceived, it is at least plain they will not
find the Beers entirely unprepared.
Mr.. Cecil Rhodes is a great man. He
is one of the empire builders of his time
But all his reckonings thus far, which
have left Dom Paul out of the score
have come to but very little The dyna-
mite monopoly may be a very wicked de-
vice; the restraints on the rights and
privileges of the outlanders may be, and
doubtless are, very great; but any policy
which will consist in the use of force
toward the Transvaal republic by her
majesty's imperial government will go a
long way toward further endangering the
prestige of Mr.. Chamberlain and his gov
eminent. President Kruger has said to
his countrymen, with all the solemnity of
the old-fashioned warrior that he is, that
they must put their trust in God. But
evidently neither he nor they have neg
ton. They are keeping their power en-
tirely dry and ready for an approaching
emergency.
