JUDGE VAN wYck.s ADDRESS.

or the many addresses delivered In
commemoration of the great founder of
the Democratic party. there is none re-
ported In the columns of the press and
possessing national significance which
surpasses that of Judge Augustus Van
Wyck. delivered before the Democratic
club in New York in all the qualities OF
a thoughtful and conservative expression
of Democratic principle and policy.
Judge Van Wyck was the Democratic
candidate for governor of his state in
the last election. His address, delivered
on an occasion and at a time when Demo-
Gratis should be careful to devote them
selves to the consideration OF the true re-
lation which the party should occupy
toward the practical issues OF the hour.
rather than to any occasion Of difference
or dissension which may exist in the
ranks of the organIza Ton, bears convinc-
ing testimony to the soundness of judg-
ment and fitness for the responsibilities
of high public station of the man.
1t Is on account of its bearing on the
commercial. social and political welfare
of this people that Democratic policy in
government will commend itself to popu-
lar approval Judge Van Wyck reccg
nizes this truth and directs his hearers
attention to the giant evils of the trusts
fostered by the party in power in the ma
tional administration: to the paramount
Importance of the improvement of the
water highways which should effectually
constitute the great arteries of the COM
merce OF the West and East over our
vast inland seas: and to the soundness of
the party doctrine which abides by the
counsels OF the Father of His Country,
when he warned the people against the
dangers of entangling alliances with for
| eign Observation-Disclosures which have con-
| tinued to threaten the peace of this ma
| ton since our national administrator
started out on Its career of imperialism.
| There is need at this hour for this type
of Democratic craftsmanship. There are
great issues which will engage the mind
of the nation in the coming contest for
the control of the national government
His. conception of those issues proves
Judge Van Wycksto be in complete touch
with true public sentiment strong,
bIoad-minded and conservative man. it
will be surprising If he does not in the
immediate future leave G. lasting impress
sion on the conduct and policy of his
party in the most important national d.
rections.

The party of Thomas Jefferson has more
than once in the past fifty years lost its
hold on the faith Of the great mass of
the American people. But 1t has been
only when It has deviated from some one
of the great principles on which the Sage
of Monticello based all his political teach
ings. 1t left the beaten path of true De-
mocracy when it failed to cast OFF the in
cu5us OF human slavery. thus violating
the most pregnant principle Of the creed
of Jefferson, as expounded in the Declara

the Kentucky resolutions of 1885, of which
he was the author.
Southern Democrats had little liberation

JUST AND DIGNIFIED.

The action Of the committee on general
legislation Of the house in recommending
the appointment of a commission to ad-
just the claims against the state of the

rightfulfy regarded as an equitable and
dignified attempt at undoing what has al

ton on the part of public authority.
The personnel of the commission is an
additional circumstance which will COM
mend the action taken. The commission
is to be composed of the attorney general
and two judges Of the supreme court, and
its award will be final on all existing
claims on the part of those owning the
property in question against the state.
The selection of such body offers the
highest assurance that can be given that
neither prejudice not favoritism will oper-
ate in favor of either of the interests in

THIRTEEN YEhRS HGO Toby

In q small Northern Minnesota town,
thirteen years ago. there lived a young
man twenty-four years Of age. Had you
seen him. you might have thought him a
very ordinary fellow, but few moments
conversation with the little woman whom
he called mother would convince you of
how good and generous, self-sacrificing
and devoted was the boy who earned
her living.
Her neighbours. too, might. have told
you how surprising 1t was that the son
OF a man who drank himself to DEATH
as they expressed it, should be temperate,
Industrious and upright. Since he was
sixteen he had worked in one of the
few stores Of which the town boosted, and
had advanced until he expected now. In
few years. to become one of the firm
for which he worked. Many and bright
were his plans for the future, and his
daily drudgery was sweet because of the
happy day-dreams which interspersed the
monotonOus work.
In the country the spring, particularly
the month of April Is dull, and he took
advantage Of the lack of business at the
store to take a short vacation, intending

preparing to leave home.
After he had visited in st. Paul he still
mad a few days before the time he was
expected home. Early in the afternoon
of the 18th of April. 1886, he went to
st. Cloud. and inquired the way to his
uncle's home, which was a short distance
out In the country. He was told that
his uncle drove into town every evening,
ana ne concluded to wait in the city
until evening.
The day was unusually warm for April,
and the air was sultry The earth was
ory, and the clouds which gathered at
noon on the western horizon portended a
much-needed rainfall that would bring
reiier from the dust and heat All look
ed forward with pleasure to the coming
OF gentle April showers. Slowly the banks
OF blackish clouds increased in SIZE At

GOOD FOR ST. PAUL.

The success of ST. Paul In being desig-
ton is as surprising. under all the cir
cumstances, as it will be welcome to the
people of the city and state The deter
mined fight set on foot against this CITY
in that behalf, in the interest of large
Eastern commercial centers, renders our
success all the more gratifying, and at
tests the high Importance which is to be
attached to the decision Of the treasury
nal adverse order merely proves that 1t
has not been thought either just or safe
to distinguish against a community whose
geographical position rendered it the most
entirely suitable inspection point for this
section of country.
At this period in the Industrial and COM
mercial development of thi. city and Sec
ton. the Importance of the action of the
treasury department cannot be over
estimated. 1t brings into this city, either
for transshipment or otherwise, over one
half of the tea shipments carried by our
transcontinental systems, and makes St.
Paul the distributing point for a very re-
? spectacle portion of the gross shipments.
This adds greatly to the Importance Of
the community as a shipping and COM
mercial point, and it will be a consider
able factor in the development of our
local commercial interests. 1t will help
to demonstrate that this is the natural
commercial distributing point of the great
section of country stretching out to the
Pacific coast on the west and the Cana
dian boundary line on the north.
