The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1900-08-23

In this issue will be found a letter
from c. B. Maben, who for some years
has claimed to be a Populist, but now
avows himself Republican. It is, of
course, with regret that we see men who
have taken part in our councils go back
into the old parties, but fusion has play
ed It's full part in every such case At
the North nearly all P9pulists were once
Republicans and it is but natural for
them when they leave us to return to
their former party end associates.
1t they do so openly and fairly, and
without criticism of those who choose to
remain and keep alive, reform, we re-
spect them and have. for them no word
of censure.
When a man leaves one party and
joins another there. Is Z right way and
wrong way to doFit
When Mr.. Maben says that he finds
himself in sympathyIband political &C
cord with the Hanna administration on
the live issues of the day, that ought
to settle it, and constitute sufficient ex-
cuse for his going back into the Repub-
lican ranks.
When Mr.. Maben has announced him
self Republican it would seem to US
in exceeding bad taste for him there
after to attempt to dictate or even de-
fine what Populists should or should
not advocate.
Mr.. Maben's long association with
Populists should have taught him that
the chief distinction between the Repub-
lican and Populist is that on all econ
omic or political questions the former
stands for the dollar and the latter for
the man.
Republicanism stands for organized
capital. Populism, we had supposed,
stood for organized labor whenever or
gained labor and capital came in con-
flict.
The state and national troops were
sent into Idaho to help ]. D. Rockefeller
crush union labor. They went there to
fight for the dollar and against the
man. They went there to crush man by
cutting his wage to the starvation point
Maben's sympathies are not only Re-
publican, but in this instance are also
scab. Maben's conclusions on the Idaho
situation and his scab sympathies are
based upon two false premises. He falls
into the error of assuming that labor
Unions seek to keep the organizations
a sort of close corporation and bar other
labor out of the labor field It is need
less to say to the well informed that
all labor unions seek to get all laborers
to join them. If a man is a scab he Is
SO from his own choice and because his
Republican OF. pluto instincts lead him
to take sides with capital against labor
in all struggles between the two classes.
When S. M. Owen. Marion Butler and
Major Bowler and others went over to
their unquestioned rights as free and
independent American citizens. When
they declared all Popul{sts were at their
heels and all thought alike as they did,
VIC enteleu vigorous ProteSe ana nave
continued to do 80.
When Maben takes the side of Rookie
feller and his Idaho. scabs, against or
ganized labor, that Is His privilege, but
when he attempts to, commit the whole
Populist party to his Views we deny that
our party is scab party or plute or
scab sympathizer. E. A. T.

Columbia River.

Necessity for the Improvements OF the
Columbia River.
Washington, August 18.-More than
ever before is it now necessary to make
an improvement at the mouth Of the
Columbia river. That improvement
has always been necessary. buts when
it is pointed out in the report of the
naval board that it is desirable to have
. drydock on the Columbia, that makes
the necessity for the great improve
mnt according to the latest plans OF
the engineers greater than ever. and
it now devolves upon congress to pro-
vide for such an improvement in the
next river and harbor bill. The Unit.
ed States has fleets upon the oceans.
1t has naval vessles, it has army trans
ports. besides the growing Pacific com.
merce carried in vessels owned by pri-
vate corporations and individuals.
These vessels must be cared for in the
government docks, and it is necessary
to have repair station where they can
be taken care of in case of accident.
The interests in the far East have de.
veloped. Instead of being less, there
will be more ships, and there will be
more naval vessels ON the Pacific
coast than there are today. The neces.
sitites are greater. We shall always
have armies in the Philippines, and
they must have supplies, and trans
ports must carry soldiers to and from
those distant shores. When this mat
ter is made plain to the men who have
charge of preparing the next river and
harbor bill, there ought to be no diff

portance by reason of the proposed
building of a government drydock and
naval station, that they will make
proper provision for the improvement
of the mouth of the Columbia. This
naval station and dock are absolute
necessities in order to keep pace with
the progress and development OF the
Pacific coast.

Washington, August 20.-The navy

tured on August 10. Foreign lexs-

FOWLER"
Previous information which had been
received here showed that the allies
took possession of Tung Chow the 18th
inst. From that city to Pekin the dis
tance is not very great, not more than
q dozen miles. 1t seems evident,
therefore. that the armies halted for a
time at Tung Chow, probably for the
purpose of giving the men rest and
preparing for the attack upon the cap
ital city in force after waiting until
the rear of the advancing hosts should
arrive at the front. Possibly also the
delay was the result of negotiations be-
gun by the Chinese officials looking to
the delivery of the ministers with q
Chinese or other escort. Ii negotia.
tions were attempted they must have
failed, rs the army continued on its
march and attacked the capital three
days after reaching Tung Chow.
The officials here were aware of tho
fact that the stronghold of the Boxers
was in the Chinese city and for the
allies to attempt to force their way
through into the Tartar city, in which
the legation compounds are located,
might mean a great loss of life and
possibly defeat 1t was also known
that the imperial troops who have
sided with the Boxers were. many Of
them, in or near the Chinese city, and
that much of the artillery and rifle
which has been poured into the lega-
tions had been from the walls operating
the two cities.
These facts were evidently communi-
Gated to General Chaffee and the other
commanding officers of the allies.
Realizing these obstacles it appears
that the allies decided to attack the
city by the east gate: There are four
gates to the city on the east, two lead.
ing to the Chinese city and two to the
Tartar city. Just which one of these
was selected as the attacking point
Consul Epwler's dispatch does not dis
close.
Contrary to the press reports of to-
day Consul Fowier's dispatch shows
that the attack on the city met with
strong resistance. Ths japanese force
engaged with the adavnce, according
to the understanding of the officials
here, numbered 10000 men, 50 the
loss suffered by them was over per
cent. Allowance is made for losses in
the forces of the other armies, but it Is
presumed that it was in proportion to
that of the Japanese.

RIOTING IN NEW YORK.

Race War Carried on With q High
Hand-Many Injured.
New York, August 18.-Such furi.
Gus ebullition of race hatred as found
vent in the rioting that occurred here
last night, the outgrowth of q murder
a few days ago of Policeman Thorpe
by negro named Arthur Harris, has
been not equaled in New York in many
years.
As result of the urbance, which
ragged from midnight until 3 O'Clock
and burst out in flame of passion and
violence at intervals until daybreak,
there were about 80 persons injured by
pistol balls, razors or knives, rocks and
clubs. Of these, one negro, Lloyd Lee,
may not recover, and Policeman Ken.
nedy is also seriously injured. Lee
is alleged to have made threats against
the life of Kennedy because he was the
particular friend and associate oi
Thorpe, the murdered officer. Thorpe
was the third white man murderously
assaulted in the vicinity by negroes. q
race prejudice having been engendered.
In less than an hour from the time the
trouble began last night, the whole OF
the west side, from Twenty eighth
street to Longacre square, above Forty.
second street, including Eighth and
Ninth avenues, was in an uproar.
Forty or more arrests we're made. Dur.
