"cuT OFF The DOGS TAIL"

We clip the following extracts from
an editorial in the St. Paul Globe.
The fact that the democrats in the leg
islature saw fit to acquiesce in the
nomination of Chas. A. Towne as the
minority candidate for U. S. senator
seems to worry the editor of the Globe
and the small coterie of gold demo-
Gratis which it represents in this wall.
This will suffice to show the tone of
the article:
The Democrats who have given this
matter due reflection now realize that
that it was mistake to have given
this complimentary nomination to any
body but a simon-pure Democrat
The silver Republicans are IL noisy
lot, like the frogs in the story, and
they bamboozled the Democrats, who
are ever patient and slow to anger, in
to voting for one Of their crowd. The
tail of the dog undertook, and very
successfully, to wag the dog. If the
dog has any sense, we hope this is the
last time he will permit any such ex-
hibition to be made of himself. 4 4
And so we say, mo Towne or any
other silver Republican Of his coterie
in ours, if you please. If it has
come to pass that true-blue Democrats
must split with some of their foolish
allies, the sooner the better, Cut off
this tail that assumes to wag the dog.
The dog will look and act all the bet
ter. Tell with Towne and the silver
Republicans, anyway"
We refuse to believe that the Globe
speaks for the democracy of Mime
sofa in this matter. The Globe as
sumes the differentiate between a sill
YER democrat and silver republic
an, but it structures against the agitat-
ors for free silver hits the TRUE silver
democrats as we'll as other silver men.
If there is any tail which needs to be
amputated from the reform parties of
Minnesota, it is the caudal appendage
hooked on by the followers Of such
political prophets rs Dick Croker and
Mark Hanna. The Globe has been
given great credit for its noble stand
for the people in the last campaign,
but II it's plan was to first gain the
of the people, and then be-
tray them into the foul snares Of plut-
Ocracy, it's course is Infamous. If we
know Minnesota democracy Alright, we
believe that it cannot be whipped into
line by any disciple Of Crcker-Hanna-
ism to do their bidding. There, we've
had our say and we feel better. Hur-
rah for Charlie TOwne.

WHAT ChEAPNESS MEANS.

In his book on THE Laborer and
His Pay" Sayille Johnson says:
II do not believe in cheapness eth
er in what have to sell, my labor, or
in what l wish to buy.
II buy a shirt for fifty cents and
some poor slave has toiled in rags and
poverty to sew its seams, and with
every stitch is woven a human tear or
a human sigh; human blood has
worked the button holes; and the
thought is never out of my mind,
when put it on or take it off, that l
am wearing out, not a shirt, but some
poor, weak. oppressed human life.
"Cheapness walks hand in hand
with poverty and degradation.
"Cheapness ruins it's men, prosti-
tutes it's women, and starves it's child
rem bodily and mentally.
"Cheapness means days and nights
of never-ending, grinding toll for
labor; and for the rich and indolent,
self-indulgence, revelry and merry.
making. 1t means the elevation oil
boarding and interest-bearing capital,
and the ruin of labor and partner oil
toil-active capital"

ly got aboard and the passengers
and crew were taken aboard the
lifeboat by means of a sling.
From the lifeboat they were
transferred to the tug and
brought TO this city.
From members of the crew of
the Weeott it was learned that at
about $50 o'clock the captain
headed his vessel toward the en-
trance to the harbor. The bar
was heavy, but all went we'll until
a point near the outer end of the
south jetty was reached, when
giant sea swept over the steamer,
washing her from stern TO stem.
Water poured down the compan-
ionway and flooded the engine
and fire rooms. The fires were
quenched and the vessel, her up
per works wrecked, drifted help
lessly in the heavy sea. A few
minutes later she struck the
rocks of the jetty and each sue
ceeding breaker bore her down.
With life preservers strapped
about their bodies, the thirty hu-
man beings aboard awaited the
arrival OF the life-saving crew. 1t
was less than an hour after the
steamer struck when the last sur
vlvor was landed in the lifeboat
Two fatalities occurred during
the work of the rescue. Mrs. Car
michael, who hailed from Ore
gon, was placed in the sling and
started for the lifeboat, but, being
old and feeble, she was unable to
help herself. A lurch of the line
tossed her into the sea and she
was drowned.
Carpenter Wilson was killed
by the falling of one of the masts
Just as he was about to leave the
vessel. Neither body was recov-
cred.

Several of the crew suffered Sc
we're injuries. Captain Burtis was
badly bruised while rendering as
slstance TO the passengers. His
injuries are not believed 10 be Sc
rlous. Fireman Patrick Quinn of
Eureka suffered fractures of both
legs, and some.of the passengers
were more or less injured, but
none seriously.
Al McCann, a well-known Eu-
rekan, who was purser of the
steamer, was instrumental in saw
ing the lives OF many persons
aboard. He describes the work
OF the captain and other officers
as extremely heroic.
Captain Burtis was the last
man to leave the ship, and before
leaving he superintended the
placing OF those who had become
his charges in the sling and see
ing them start safely for the life
boat. The first mate and chief
engineer stood nobly by their
captain, and but for their cour-
age and GOODNESS the list of fatali-
ties would have been much
greater.
Scarcely had the work OF res
cue been completed when the
steamer swung partly around on
the rocks and commenced going
to pieces. 1t is expected she will
entirely break up during the
night.
The Weeott was owned bv c.
A. Doe & Co., and was COM
manded by Captain S. H. Burtis.
She carried besides her regular
crew OF twenty officers and men
the following passengers: Mrs.

ONDON, Dec. 2. The

week which has been
marked bv the brilliant adj
vance of Lord Methuen's column
closes in profound and remark
able silence. Orders seem to
have gone forth from military
headquarters in South Africa to
maintain silence. AS there is no
great delay in telegraphing, de-
spite the breakdown of one ca
bic, nothing else will explain the
absence OF news. There is almost
no new information this morning
from any of the British COM
mands in South Africa. The in
ference to be drawn is that the
generals are maturing plans,
which it would be improper at
this moment to disclose.
1t is not known yet how the
battle of Modder River was
fought; whether Kimberley has
been relieved; whether General
Hildyard has moved forward
from Frere since last Tuesday, or
whether General Gatacre has got
any closer to Stromberg juno
ton.
The latest dispatch from Frere
states that on Tuesday the Brit
ish drove back the Beers, who
were trying to destroy big
bridge near Colenso. If this was
the great structure over the Tu-
gela River, the fact of its being
intact is of great importance to
General Clery's advance. 1t is
uncertain which bridge the dis
patch refers to. There are two,
a railway and road bridge to
Ladysmith, crossing the Tugela
at this point. The railway bridge
has already been reported to have
been destroyed. 1t is quite likely
that this report was false.
To make this bridge, which
ever it is, absolutely secure, a
British force must cross the river
and entrench itself on the further
bank at the bridge. 1t is not
stated whether General Hildyard

is able to do this. Undoubtedly
II the advance troops have
crossed the river and entrenched
very important success has been
gained, and a great obstacle in
Clery's way has been removed, 1t
is possible that the bridge has
been mined and may yet be de-
stroyed.
There is every probability now
that the Beers will dispute the
passage OF the Tugela River by
the British column. With White
in their rear they will run extra
ordinary risks. They are said to
be concentrating at Grobler's
kloof. close to Colenso. British
movements in the direction Of
Weenen look like an attempt to
get around the enemy's flank. ?
Despite the silence, the situa-
ton in Natal is regarded as won
derfully improved. There are at
present quite 10000 British
troops in that district. Reinforce
ments are being rapidly pushed
to the front. A good many guns
OF great range are now added to
Hildyard's armament. His delay
must be owing to the breaking
down OF bridges or his relative
paucity OF cavalry, just as General
Gatacre is delayed by the ncces-
sity OF safeguarding Lord Methu-
ems communication from Boer
attack from the Orange Free
State.
Sir George Stewart White is
still more than a match for his
foes at Ladysmith Much firing
was heard from the besieged
town in the early part of the
week.
That no news has arrived for
twenty-four hours from Modder
River may signify that Methuen's $
telegraph wires have been cut.
This does not of necessity mean
that there is any danger of his
communications being perma-
nently interrupted. 1t has not
been Methuen's business to clear

with rifles, several American and sew
enty Spanish prisoners and the gar
rison at Bayombong, province cf
Nueva Vizcaya, to Lieutenant Mon
roe, with fifty men Of the Fourth Cav

This surrender was due to remark
able courage and butt on the part of
Monroe. He had but fifty men, and
possible reinforceme nts were far in
the rear. He cor ,municated tele-
graphically with thu insurgent gen
eral, Conon, stating hat he was ready
to Immediately NOV the large force
on him unless there was an uncon-
ditional surrender. Monroe wired
south for reinforce nents. Twenty
four hours before the reinforcements
came he went with q small escort TO
Bayombong and accepted the sur
render.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The War De-
partment has not received anything from
General Otis confirming the report of the
surrender OF General Conon and 500 men
at Bayombong. but the information con-
tanned in the press dispatch is believed to
be correct.
dispatch received from General Otis
this morning said that word from General
Lawton indicated that Bayombong had
been captured 1t is believed that this re-
port from General Lawton has been con-
frmed with details as to the number OF
men surrendered.
The surrender OF Bayombong puts Cen
eral Lawton in possession OF the most i'm

General Conon's force of 800 men was
probably one Of the largest fragments
into which Aguinaldo's fleeing army had
been broken.
