DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
METROPOLITAN.

The Neill stock company presented
Henry Arthur James strongly drawn
drama ''The Dancing Girl for the first
time in st. Paul to a fairly we'll filed
house last evening at the Metropolitan.
The play bellies its title in that it is one
of those forceful dramas dealing with the
social problem on the order of ''Magda."
and yet unlike in depicting a different
phase of the question. 1.-The Dancing

repentance. She dies as she had lived.
and Miss Edythe Chapman throws into
her portrayal of the character all the
versatility of which that charming
actress is capable.

infatuation for Drusilla, the dancing

which he is saved by a good woman.

but they are in any event sufficiently en-
couraging to warrent serious increase
in the public interest which should at
tach to this subject.
Under the new dispensation regarding
the market house the library will, for the
immediate future at least, be fttingly
housed. It's present contracted and alto
gether unsatisfactory quarters will not
much longer continue to be subject Of
discouraging comment. With speedy
transfer made to its new home. the st.
Paul public library can await with more
apparent hopefulness than in the past
the arrival of the day when an aroused
public spirit, backed by the energy and
intelligence which have been SO manifest
under the efforts of Mr.. Feldhauser. will
place St. Paul In the position which 1t
ought to occupy in this respect among
the cities of the country.
In the meantime every citizen. no mat
ter what his financial situation, should
stand ready to cooperate IN any move
ment of an essentially popular character
which the present board may evolve to
put the library movement on sound
basis for the future We must have
library building that will compare favor
ably with anything of the kind possessed
by the most advanced city in the coun-
try of the same dimensions. From the
advances made within short few months
past we have right to expect that this
troublesome problem, which has evoked
so much public dissatisfaction and crlu-
cism in the past fifteen years, shall be
brought to a satisfactory conclusion in
the course at least of a few years more.

sULLYING OUR LAURELs
By Killing Off the FfIipinos, Who
Seek Independence.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Not much more than a hundred years
ago our grandfathers thought that the
horrors of war were better than to have
a race from which most of US sprang
levy taxes on US for the support of in
stitutions in which they had no voice in
managing A shoft@t time ago we thought
the people Of Csbagswere in about the
position our ancestors were in, and war
was declared on Spain, the keynote of
which was Cuba Is and by right should
be free" Our citizens then were called
on to shoulder guns and shoot down
Spaniards in supportslof this idea.
Some of those foes Of Cuba's independ
ence were found in Manila bay, where we
were earnestly helped to kill them by the
natives there, who had been fighting for
about the same thing our ancestors
fought for, and that we were helping
Cuba fight for. They hadn't been fighting
all these years to be annexed to the
United States, but for absolute freedom.
Their leaders might not have the same
brain power and the admirable qualities
that Washington had. but they were
fighting for the same holy thing, and
were giving up their lives just as man
fully as our early heroes. 1t looks as
though the treaty of Paris gave $40, ,000,-
900 to Spain for the privilege of doing to
the Philippines about what we were help
ing Cuba to get free of.
Cuba is free and the object of our war
has been achieved. The Fflipinos, know
ing that we fought for our freedom, and
for Cuba's, naturally expected to be free,
but no. By this time we concluded that
we could govern better than any one else,
and unless Mr. Filipino would let us gov
ern him we would burn his home, and cut
his throat, which we at once proceed to
do. What hypocrites others must think
we are! It will be many years before
the stain will be washed away. Why
should our peace-loving citizens go half
way around the globe to kill people who
are fighting for their independence?
The apologist for this sort Of thing
says: Some one else will get ahead Of
us. Some other nation will cut the mans =
throat and pick his pocket IL we don't
hurry up and do 1t, and we will thus lose
business" - E"@
This country is amply strong enough to
and see that an enlightened and progress
sive government Is maintained, and that
all trade interests stand an equal show.
The natives would gladly give us back
what we had expended. A mistake that
costs human life cannot be rectified too
soon, and the Philippine mistake Is cost
ing hundreds Of lives of our best citizens
and thousands OF those who are fighting
for that which our ancestors fought for.
The McEnery resolution said we had
no territorial designs there Why not
live up to lit
We should not be, afraid that some
should think us towards in withdrawing
from mistaken fight when we are
callous Of their, opinion Of our starting
out in a fight for the independence Of
Cuba and ending In one for the subjuga-
ton of the Philippines. killing our for
mer allies because we want to govern
them. Our lands won from Spain should
not be so soon sullied. Doctor

THE LIBRARY PROBLEM.

While there exists much misunderstand-
ing regarding our public library, there
should be no doubt as to the urgent need
of some intelligent and concerted action
at this time in aid of the movement Of
which Mr.. Feldhauser is the head.
st. Paul has no such library facilities
as the needs and demands Of her people
call for. This is a serious blot on the
reputation of the community and in every
way grave detriment. Our supply of
reading material both in extent and char
acter, is much above what the popular
belief regards it as being But in every
other respect we are in a situation which.
in another community, would certainly
arouse local pride and public spirit to
serious effort for its amendment
Thanks to the intelligent and indefatiga-
BILE labors of our librarian. Mrs. McKane.
we have thus far been able to make the
best of our poor facilities But the best,
and far more than the best, we can do

ably true that the views of the present

IRELAND IN FAVOR.
Address of the Prelate at Orleans
PIeases the Pope.

ROME, June 1.-THE holy father has
been much pleased with the sympathetic
American speech of Mgr. Ireland at Or
leans. Since opponents and continental
parties have unwerthily made capital OF
Leo Kills letter to Cardinal Gibbons,
the holy father and Cardinal Rampolla
have kept on declaring that that docu-
ment Is not intended to blame any Amer
lean bishop or any American event. Car
dina1 Rampolla said to a friend:
81 cannot understand how Catholics can
50 misapprehend the meaning and charac-
ter of that letter, which had been made
necessary by certain eXaggerations of Eu-
ropean writer's. AS for the Americans
their indecision shows a lack of intelli-
gence. You know with what care the
pope has separated the church and af-
fairs of America from European errors;
how distinctly he has praised and ap-
proved the true Americanism, that of
America. When Mgr. Ireland himself
pointed out to the pope the gross misuse
that adversaries are making Of it, Leo
XIII. answered him: Fear nothing; be
patient. Give no Importance to these in
accuracies and these attacks. Cardinal
Rampolla has repeated these quieting as

YESTERDAYS TEMPERATURES.
KIEFER AND BIGELow.

Thanks to the cautious tongue in the
head Of the mayor of st. Paul, and his
apparent readiness to sacrifice himself
to what he regards as the welfare Of his
party and his administration. the dis
graceful incident of his own attempted
bribery is quite likely to pass away
without any public or official action be-
ing taken thereupon.
Mr. Horace Bigelow, the county at
torney of this county, has, in this behalf.
shown that he is not willing to do his
duty in the premises. The fact that
there is no grand jury in existence, and
will not be before next October, would
not have prevented him from probing
this disgraceful affair to the bottom.
But he has evidently about the same
understanding Of how to advance the
good government Of this community as
prevails among his political brethren of
the Lincoln club. So it follows that the
public sense will have to remain unrecog
nlzed. apparently in the belief on the
part of our local political ring that the
voters of the city and county will have
forgotten the whole affair by the time
they are again called on to elect their
administrative officers.
Meanwhile 1t is to be remarked that the
tone OF our local political life is about
as low as 1t we'll can be. There may
arise some event which will facilitate
the sending of a few, at least, Of the
petit larceny thieves who at present give
color 10 our local politics to either the
workhouse or the penitentiary. But the
prospect is not of the brightest in this
direction. The example set by Mayor
Kiefer will not be lost on his political
brethren. The momentary assertion of
his self-respect and of his respect for
his American citizenship which caused
him to make public reference to his view
of Mr. Sandell's advances was quickly
suppressed. And, of course, any other
statesman of the local Republican con-
federacy OF oficeholders who may be
disposed to blab about what he knows
of the business methods of his breth-
rem will not have the example of the
mayors reticence lost on him.
Mayor Kiefer is, moreover, charged
with the enforcement of the laws of the
state and the ordinances of the city
within his jurisdiction. On his own
statement one of the most important
laws of the state has been violated by
one of his own appointees. But he re-
mains inactive and derelict in his duty.
He is not one whit better than the law
department in this transaction; and the
attitude of both in the present contin-
gency is a pretty good illustration of the
kind OF government that this city and
county are now being supplied with.

DIVINITY HEDGES HIM.
Why Emperor William Cannot AO-
cept Principle of Arbitration.

LONDON, June 12.-The correspondent
of the Daily News, at the Hague, says:
'I learn that DR.. Zorn, the German
delegate, spoke on Friday against arbi-
tration. When I asked him for copy of
his speech 1 got point blank refusal.
Notwithstanding this I am able to send
full analysis of his speech. He asserted
that he was instructed to say that Ger
many could not accept the principle of
permanent arbitration embodied in Sir
Julian Pauncefotes draft. She objected,
firstly. on principle, and secondly, on
grounds of expediency.
HE then proceeded to argue that 1t was
derogatory to a monarch's sovereignty
and to nations independence. Arbitra-
ton agreed upon between two nations for
a narrowly defined object was one thing
and arbitration binding a nation for the
unknowable future was quite another. A
king, holding his title by divine light,
could not think Of divesting himself of
an essential part of his sovereignty, the
right to shape the nations course at
critical time.
Emperor William, DR.. Zorn said,
would not pledge himself to bow to the
decision of judges not appointed by him
on case that had not arisen. These
were the objections on principle The
objection on expediency was on the scora
Of expense and the possibility that the
rendering of iniquitous decisions might
bring the principle of arbitration into dis
credit"

FORTUNE DIVIDED
Among Heirs by the Drawing of
Numbered Cards.


Numbered Cards.
New York World.
At Castle Point, Hoboken. four sons
and a daughter of the late Mrs. Martha
b. Stevens, former mistress of the beau
tiful mansion, for generations the home
of the Stevens family, gathered to draw
lots. There were rich prizes for all.
Mrs. Stevens left 100000 worth of
real estate and securities and half as
much more in art treasures and family
herlooms stored In the Homestead, as
the Stevens castle Is known in the fam
lily.
The gallery of family portraits, the rich
tapestries and brocades. the china, silver,
statuary, bric-a-brac, colonial and mod
ern furniture, ancient armor, paintings,
engravings and the thousand and one
articles of value were divided into six
lots-one each for the FIVE surviving chill
dren and a sixth for the son and daugh-
ter of John Stevens, the elder brother,
who died q few years ago.
The heirs drew numbered cards. and
with each drawing went fortune. No
one Of them could be induced to sell for
money. Those who tooks cards were Col.
e. A. Stevens. Mrs. c. B. Alexander, g.

There are few social conditions apply

the record of trust organization has been
quite as strong as in any preceding week
for the past six months, with but two or
three exceptions.
1t is worthy Of note that a satire pub
lished recently in an American periodical
concerning the formation of trust in
the air we breathe has been realized in
actual operation, and the news dispatches
during the week recorded the formation
of trust, capitalized at $4,000, 900, in

MORE MEN CALLED OUT.
General Tie-Up for Freight Boats
Seems Certain at Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N. Y. June 1.-THE strike
of the freight handlers at the Erie docks
for an advance of l cent an hour in
wages was considered at a meeting of
the Freight Handlers union this after
noon, and a sympathetic strike of the in
side workers, or house men. in all of the
freight houses was ordered None of
these men will report for duty in the
morning About 1000 men have been
called out, and this will virtually throw
twice as many more out of work as the
outside workers will refuse to carry
freight into the houses. and should nom
union men be employed for inside work.
the outside men will quit.
Nothing has yet been heard from Pres
ident Keefe, of the Longshoremen's
union, who was asked by telegraph. yes
terday, to come to Buffalo and try to. set
tie the trouble. From present appear
ances a general tie-up, as far as freight
boats are concerned. is certain for the
time being. The railway companies and
contractors say they will not grant the
demands of the men. and the latter are
equally determined not to return to work
without the advance.

into trust, the capital stock of which
is also $1O,0O0.0 900. The organization of an
immense trust in agricultural imple-
ments, including all the principal manu-
facturers of the Northwest, has been
followed by an advance of from 20 to 25
per cent on existing prices. The advance
was ordered announced, too, without
any apparent thought of concealment.
The great sugar refining interests of the
country. too, have given indications
which are worthy of all consideration
of an intended conjunction of interest.
This movement will possess the tremen-
dous significance of being a combination
of existing trusts. The iron and steel
interests have been uniting of late in
the great manufacturing centers. with
the result that the advance in the pre-
vailing prices of all iron and steel man
ufactured articles has gone on at such
ratio as TO frighten the market, and give
much occasion for alarm to the more
conservative of those engaged in the iron
and steel industries.
There is, on the other hand. nothing
to record showing that the opposing
vances whatever. There is no record as
yet presented of the success Of the letter
of Gov. Sayers, of Texas In only one
direction has the opposition to trust for
loI 6xy
The contemplated trust in printing pa
per has evidently had a difficult career;
and during the past week it has been
shown that the opposition developing
an ong the printers and photographers to
this movement has continued and has
been successful in it's onset UP to this
time.
Looking at the situation only from the
standpoint of the enormous capitaliza-
ton of those concerns it is easy to fore
see a collapse Of at least those of them
which have been gotten up for specula
tive purposes On the basis of capitali
zation alone, the increase in the moneys
represented ir the manufacturing indus
tries of the United States during the
past year will exceed by far the original
amounts invested in such enterprises.
And yet the bulk of the additional cap
italization is little more than the nom
inaI financial inducements leading to the
combinations that have been formed.
If there should come upon Industrial
society another such crash as followed
upon the downfall of the man Hooley,
in London, before any effective govern
mental action can be taken, it would do
much to clear the atmosphere prepara-
tory to such legislation as will be neces-
sary to regulate, even If it does not put
a stop to, the formation Of industrial
trusts.
