That silver Plank.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
The reasons for the silver plank in the
Democratic platform are that the Demo-
Gratis accepted that principle in Chicago;
that they nominated the apostle Of 1t as
Democratic candidate, and that they al
lowed him from that time to pose as
Democratic dictator. The old-style Dem
ocrats are too disorganized to fight i'm
perialism successfully without help. To
keep all those in line who are against i'm
pertaIism the silver plank was a neces-
sity. The plank, as it stands, was in
serted by the pressure of Bryan, with one
vote majority In the commission. This
and the ovation which D. Hill received
proved that the sound money Democrat Is
will reorganize in due tlme-that is, as
soon as the money question comes before
the legislative factors. They will follow
the will Of their voters, and not that of
Bryan.
proves too that they considered him to
be the best man to lead this fight against
imperialism.
The delegation Of Minnesota voted
Tor sound money; they voted for Bryan
and, as a Democrat, 1t Is my duty to
stand without reserve behind the dele
cation. II the bolt of the st. Paul Demo-
stroy the chances of the united parties
to carry Minnesota against Imperialism
in the presidential as well as in the con-
gressional elections
But in the place Of these boilers, I
should not bolt the Democratic ticket on
silver. 1t looks too imperiaifstic, and
that ghost story might explode at cleo

reference to China, and particularly the
attitude of nations like France and Ger
many, England and Russia, on subjects OF
deep national moment to each other, it is
not likely that an agreement will be easily
reached whereby all will engage in an
aggressive movement toward Chinese par
tition.
The advantage which the United States
occupies in the light of all this is palpable.
Whether the rumored consent Of the
United States to act as mediator between
the European powers and Japan on the
one side and China On the other be well
founded or not, this nation is in posi-
ton to exercise the best moral influence
on the situation, and to avert what might
otherwise prove to be an appalling IN
ternational catastrophe.
At any moment the. world may receive
some real enlightenment on the Chinese
situation. It viii learn authoritatively
the fate Of the legations in Pelkin. But, no
matter what the nature Of the information
may be. the United States may. If 1t will
continue to occupy relationship toward
the Chinese situation which will prove OF
incalculable value to its people CONNER
ciaIly, as well as politically.

THE LEvEE QUESTION.

Whatever the relative rights of the city
ard the railroads or any of them may
or may not be with reference to the levee
In the vicinity of the union depot, II Will
be- accepted as beyond all question tnat
those rights should be adjusted, and that
as quickly as possible, so as to facilitate
the entrance to the city Of any railroad
which seeks to enter here. For all prac-
teal purposes. whatever the exact legal
status of the matter may be, the levee at
that point Is being used, and is intended
to be used, only for railroad purposes
The city can have no practical use to
which to apply the land in question which
is not designed to promote and facilitate
interested.
Our terminal facilities, as It is, are mono
too great. Everything that can possibly
be done to increase them should be done.
Any question as to the right Of occupancy
or ownership of levee property which
may arise, either now or in the immediate
future. can be adjusted only in one way
consistently with sound local public pol
Icy. That way Is for the city to waive
whatever technical legal rights it may
possess. or else place the enjoyment Of
those rights at the disposal of the several
railroads on such conditions as will be ac-
ceptable to both interests involved.
The pending issue between the city and
the Milwaukee road. concerning the levee
between Wacouta and Sibley, is very
easily disposed of for all practical
purposes. The suggestion made by ex-
City Attorney Murray, that permission be
sought from the federal authorities with
a view to the extension of the levee prop
erty certain distance into the A1issis-
sippi, is one which, If carried out will
result In a much needed addition to the
territory available for terminal purposes,
and will be to the enduring advantage of
the city as well as of the railroads. 1t Is
one which should engage the serious at
tention at once of our city officials.

sib1ey County,s Crop,

To the Editor Of the Globe
In the Minneapolis Journal Of July a.
1900, an article appeared headed. "a
Good Crop Result" by H. V. Jones, in
which he claimed that our three states.
Minnesota, North and South Dakota, will
raise from 135. 000,0 00 to Isl, 900, 900 bushels
of wheat this year. AS part of the best
section he includes Sibley county, OF
which he says: I'm this section there is
bushel wheat, and comparatively little
ten bushel wheat. The average for these
counties will be little higher than last
year, with good weather until harvest"
What gross misrepresentation. The
writer of this article has lived in Sibley
county since 1870, has been engaged in
farming in this county ever since, either
directly or indirectly. On Tuesday, July
10, he drove from the west end Of the
county to Henderson, in the east end
and can conscientiously say that he never
as poor on an average, as they did on
that day, except during the graSshopper
years, and fair estimate of our wheat
crop, in Sibley county, for the year 1900
viii be eight bushels per acre on an aV-
erage. If the Journal mans estimate of
our county is a comparative estimate of
not only "the best section" but the three
states mentioned, you will see how mis-
leading the figures. In place of his pos
sible yield of $50, 100000 bushels we can
-conservatively put 1t at $1,000, GOO bushels.

THE MoRALrrY OF TAX sA1,Ds

THE MORALITY OF TAX SALES.
The recent decision of Judge I,or,n
Cray, of the Sixth judicial district de-
>liyered by him at Mankato in the case
Of Hiram B. Cole VS.. Leo 8. Lanner has
an important bearing upon titles acouir-
ed by purchasers at the recent forfeiture
tax sale. If Judge Cray's decision is sus-
tanned by the supreme court it will SIM
ply invalidate all the proceedings under
chapter 322 of the General Laws of Min
nesota Of 1899, which provided for a sale
of all real property forfeited to the state
for non-payment of taxes. This law con-
tempiated the clearing up of the records
of the different counties by sale of all
tracts of land upon which the taxes OF
1896 and prior years had not been paid.
The act provided that the sale of lands
On which such taxes were delinouent
should be absolute and final-that is.
without redemption and without the sixty
days notice of the expiration of redemp-
ton. which. is required for lands sold at
the regular tax sales.
The act further provided for sixty days
notice prior to the sale, whereas at regu-
lar tax sales the notice necessarily fol-
lows the sale, and is subsequent to the
expiration of the period OF three years
allowed for redemption.
Judge Cray takes the position that the
law is invalid for the reason that It at
tempts to divest the original owner Of
the right to notice of expiration Of re-
demption provided for by the law In
force when the land was bid in by the
state for the original taxes.
In the opinion of many persons the
whole system of tax sales In Minnesota
is morally wrong and indefensible. That
man may lose his home or his home
stead by reason of his inability to pay
taxes which, IN amount, are but a frao-
ton Of the value of such home or home
stead. is thing 30 inequitable and so
unjust in itself that it seems incredible
that any court should sustain such q
proceeding. A man possessing q farm ar
house and lot. which Is his home and
the home of his family, and all ha nos
sesses in the world, may fall sick. or
from other misfortune be unable to pay
his taxes. The value OF his property
may be. say $1,000. and the taxes may be

THE NEW L1BR-.RY.

The opening of the new public library
on Monday ought to mark the beginning
of an entirely new career In the matter
Of the city's library facilities. The strug-
gle in the past has been a hard one for
those who have wished to see the city
possessed Of a library worthy Of the in
tellectual needs of its people The indif-
ference which has attended the move
ment for the establishment of a proper
library has not been in the nature of
popular Indifference. The masses have
been willing to see their representatives
in Office take whatever steps and impose
on them whatever public burdens were
deemed necessary in order to provide q
suitable library and library building. But
those in authority have thought proper
to ignore the popular will in this regard,
and have deemed 1t more advisable to ex-
pend the public funds in other, ard,
doubtless, according to their Judgment,
more necessary directions.
Private munificence has done little or
nothing for the city in this particular
direction, whatever may be done through
library has been SO nearly adequate to
the popular needs, If not to the popular
demands, Is due to the watchful care
and individual zeal shown by those
charged with the administration OF its
affairs. There has been infinitely more
of this than the public has any under
standing of. The book supply has been
kept up in a manner all the more re-
markable in view OF the limited extent Of
the resources Of the library board; and,
to those who have been to any extent In
personal touch with the library, 1t has
been a source Of great qualification that
the literary facilities offered to the stu
dent, as well as to the general reader,
have been as great as they have been.
1t may not be invidious to mention in
this behalf the efficient and courteous
city librarian, Mrs. H. J. McCaine. She
has, by her personal devotion and by her
unrenitting attention to the detail work
of the library, contributed greatly to the
excellent results which have been OBJ
servable Her familiarity with every de-
tail of library management has been pro-
ductive Of the result that those who
have had recourse to the library have
been able with the utmost readiness to
have placed at their disposal whatever
their demands might call for that might
be included In the resources Of the library.
1t has remained true throughout her adj
ministration that the actual facilities Of
fered by the library have been much
more extensive ana available than the
public have at all understood.
In order to build as we should build
on our present possessions more liberal
provision must be made. The present
library quarters will remain adequate for
some time to come. By the exercise of
wise foresight and larger measure of
both private and public liberauty It will
not be many years until the people of
st. Paul will have reason to be entirely
satisfied with the position of their city
IN this particular respect
