WHAT THE SCHOOL BOARD SHOULD


The greater the light that is shed on.
the recent transactions in connection
with the superintendentship of schools
the more discreditably and iniuriousIy
does the conduct of certain persons pres
ent itself to view. The era of manipula-
ton in local school affairs is far from
having passed. In the transaction re-
suIting in the withdrawal of Supt. Smith
there are performances limited at which
if fully known should arouse the active
Intervention of every parent in the city
who has a child in attendance at our
local schools.
An interview published with one of the
school inspectors tells good deal. 1t
justifes fully and beyond all equivoca-
ton all that this paper has already urged
on it's readers in connection with Prof.
Smiths withdrawal. It shows that the
board of school inspectors nave by their
inaction been made to occupy false po-
sition before the public. The G o b
has faith in the board of school inspec,
Tors 1t DeleNeS mat they are DOdy OF
gentlemen who desire only the welfare
and good Eame of the schools. 1t does
not believe that the board desired SUPP.
Smiths resignation. That event We
think, was forced on them through the
scheming of individuals who are set to
do the work of certain interests pecuni-
arily concerned in the schools
There appears to he only one way in
which the board of school inspectors can
vindicate themselves, and that is to adopt
the suggestion of the G / o e, offered
some days ago, that they urge upon
Sunt. Smith the revocation Of his letter
of withdrawal. and his instant reappoint-
ment, if. he can be induced to cancel his
withdrawal If something of this kind
is not done, the board of school inspec-
tors will find that they have opened a
veritable Pandora box, the contents OF
which will be plague to them as long
as they remain in Office.

RIM THEM TO EARTH.

more brutal or cowardly murder has
rarely been committed than that by
which almost an entire family were
wiped out of existence in Anoka a day
or TWO ago. The author or authors of
that murder designed it carefully. Every
trace of evidence was probably careful
ly obiiterated beforehand. Discovery has
been guarded against at every point
1t is for the discovery and punishment
of crimes of this character that criminal
law and police agencies exist. 1t is the
existence of criminals such as those who
conceived and executed this bloody crime
which offers the constant reminder to
civilized men that the brute beast may
assume the. ascendant at any time in the
! human being, and that nothing save con-
slant vigilance will ever suffice to keep
it in subsection.
From what slight knowledge now exists
as to the domestic affairs of the family
which was thus so cruelty assailed it
ought not to be difficult to locate the
zeal criminals. Whether it will be pos
! sible to secure the necessary evidence is
quite doubtful But the motive which
could animate any creature 10 commit
such crime ought not to be difficult to
find.
The authorities of the state of Mime
sofa should take this matter under con
sideration at once, if they have not al
ready done so. They certainly ought not
to leave it to be attended to exclusively
by the authorities of the village or even
| of the county of Anoka. With prompt
ard intelligent action there ought to be
a good prospect Of bringing these fiends
incarnate to justice An apparently
strong alibi is evidently available by the
man whom the head of the unfortunate
family points tc as the probable author
of the crime That should not discourage
the authorities. A good round reward
in such cases usually bears fruit. 1t
would be we'll if Gov. LIND could see his
way to Offering suitable reward for
evidence which would lead to the con-
victicn of the murderer or murderers of
the Wise family.
But whatever is done or by whomevel
it may be done it becomes the duty of
all authority, state and local, to locate
if possible the authors of this butchery.
Society has no real protection to offer its
members where such a deed passes I'M
punished. 1t should be followed unceas-
ingly to its origin. No state can afford
to have it said that within its borders hu.
man beings innocent of any conscious
wrong can with fmpunity be shot down
in Geld blood while assembled around the
family circle. The people look to the
authorities of the state of Minnesota to
exhaust every effort to bring to the gal
lows those who did those inhuman MUIR
ders, as well as those who Allotted them.

TALK OF THE TOWN.

Tuesday evening passers by were at
tracted by strange actions of horse
tied to lamp post on Fifth street across
from the Windsor. The animal kept up
a continual whinnying and William
Hayes, OF the Windsor, loosened the
strap and it indicated an appreciation
almost human. The horse paved the
ground and neighed and Mr.. Hayes came
to the conclusion that few quarts of
oats would have very salutary effect
He drove the rig over to Schroeder's
livery barn and further investigation de-
Veloped the fact that the horse had been
left standing from o'clock in the morn
ing until Mr.. Hayes found it at IL p. M
without food or water. The rig was the
property of contractor, who forgot all

The rebellion now prevailing in China
is not unlikely to prove an event of para
mount Importance with reference to the
future of the empire. IF 1t should prove
to be the fact that the imperial authori-
ties are in league with the rebellion. it
will at once become plain to the nations
who are seeking the partition of the en-
pire that the time for positive action has
come in the direction of asserting the
paramount authority of the European
powers. If, on the other hand. it should
turn out that imperial authority is either
unwilling OF unable to put an end to the
rebellion. the case will be still stronger
for European intervention.
The action taken by the representatives
of the United States is timely and prop
er. It looks to the protection of Ameri-
can property. It represents thus far at

existing besides those which for prac-
tically half century marked the great
divergence of thought on public issues
among the American people
Civil strife has taken place in every
land extant. Every page of English his
tory is stained with blood shed in civil
strife. Not a century has passed in the
history of that now united people that
does not present a bloody record of armed
Englishmen struggling for ascendaney
against each other in the valleys and
en- the nillsides of the island. There
surely is nothing in the issue which di-

operate to keep American men apart af-

they met in fratricidal strife.

GRAND EXALTED RULER.
Chief of All the EIks Was in St.
Paul Yesterday


st. Paul Elks entertained a distinguish
ed visitor yesterday in the person Of
Judge B. NJ. Allen, of Birmingham, Ala,
grand exalted ruler of the order. Judge
Allen was to have arrived in the city at
noon yesterday, but delay in his traib
prevented his being in the city on time
He reached the city after o'clock, and,
after registering at the Ryan, was met
by Exalted Ruler Mitchell, of Lodge
No. So, and taken to various points of
interest about the city. No formal pro-
gramme of entertainment was attempted.
Judge Allen is in the city en- route
West, and will return again in time to
participate in the exercises connected
with the exposition and carnival, which
opens June Is.
Decoration day observances had no eff
feet on the work of the committees hav-
ing in charge the work of preparing for
the Elks carnival
As result of the unlocked for de-
mand of business men for space for
booths, it was announced by c. P Slime,
chairman of the concessions and priv
1eges committee, that 1000 extra feet of
space will be added to that provided for
under the first calculation. Applications
for space have been received from bust
ness men in Mississippi and in Kansas
A committee on decorations has been
prosecuting successfully the work of a
canvass Oh the business houses of the
city for the purpose of receiving prom
ises that buildings should be decorated
during the carnival, with the colors of

favorably In almost every instance, and it

A GRAND RESULT.


The celebration of Decoration day has
this year presented an exceptional fea-
ture to the public view Not only in st.
Paul, but throughout the entire country,
has the disposition been shown in a re-
ma.kabIe degree to sink all considera-
lions as to the side on which the buried
heroes fought. The soldier who wore
the gray, like his brother who struggled
to preserve the Union, was an American.
They disagreed on a question of national
interest and they fought the disagree

Had the South won in the war of the
rebellion would it have been any less dis
posed to sink divisions of section and SEN
tment than are the people of the North
ern states today? Not one whit less will
Ing. The result would have been the
same sooner or later The American
people would seek reunion and would
have secured it. It would not have been
possible to maintain two separate ma
onal entities where before there was
out one free people. 1t would not have
been practicable for the American people
TO have remained divided.
Great as is the gulf of opinion which
divides the two great sections of Ameri-
can political life. there is nothing in the
nature of popular belief or disbelief to
necessitate permanent disagreement. All
the traditions and principles dearest to
the Southern people We're averse to its
perpetuation. 1t proclaimed the Declara-
ton of Independence a lie, and kept the
material development of this continent
back for generations.
The disposition to sink the great dis
agreements of the past out of view and
to treat the Southern dead as we treat
our own is a happy omen for the people
Spain wrought wondrous changes in the
point of view from which the people of
the two sections regarded each other

In the relations of the people of the two
great sections. While there will ever be

ments as might call for precipitate action,
action in view of possible complications.
It is difficult to understand how the
Chinese imperial authorities can hope to
remain much longer in power in any
event The pretense among European ma
lions of preserving the imperial SOW
ereignty deceives none. Imperial SOW
ereignty, if it is unable in the present
crisis to assert itself, is not worth con-
sidering at all It will be swept out of
existence just as soon as the European
powers that have Secured a foothold in
China have decided for themselves upon
some concerted plan of action which will
put an end to the rule of the Dowager
empress.
The Boxers rebellion is a most reason
able expression of hostility to the pres
ence and control of the foreigner It is
a patriotic movement 1t is such move
ment as that, did it not exist, or were
there no other form of popular revolt
among the Chinese against the progress
of events in their country, the conclusion
would be inevitable that the Chinese were
unworthy of having any serious say in
the future of their own country, save
such as their European masters choose
to allow them.
So far from treating the event, as GER
tain i'll informed American dailies are
now doing, as one which springs from
lawlessness and crime the Boxers re-
belllon is quite likely to serve the Chi
nese masses better than any rebellion
which has taken place in the past. 1t is
true, of course, that these men who have
engaged in it are not unlikely. unless
restrained to indulge themselves in pro
miscuous slaughter. But, with the light
that guides them, they are fighting for
their own country, and to save it from
the control of foreigners, as patriots have
fought from the beginning.
Provided it involves no loss or danger
to Americans or American interests, there
is ample reason why disinterested civil
lied men should hope that the Chinese
Boxers would be able to strike terror
into both the effete authority which
stands for the empire, and those who
stand by awaiting the partition of China.
If these men are able to make any rea-
sonable stand. they will secure conces-
s:ons when the time comes which would
otherwise not be extended to them.

A LITTLE LOCAL POLITICS.

Frank Robert, chief deputy sheriff, yes
terday morning rendered his resignation
to Sheriff Wagner, to take effect June l.
Mr.. Robert has accepted a position with
the Hamm Brewing company.
Mr.. Robert went into the sheriff's office
when John Wagner took hold, in Janu-
airy, 1897, and started as outside deputy.
Three months later he was made clerk in
the office; on July 1 of the same year he
took the place made vacant by the death
of George Allen, then deputy sheriff.
Mr.. Robert has always been prominent
in Democratic politics, and for a long time
he was clerk of the probate court. Four
years ago Mr.. Robert received the nomi-
nation on the Democratic ticket for pro-
bate judge, but was defeated.
It is believed that Edward Dahl, who
is clerk in the sherfffs office at the pres
ent time, will succeed to the vacancy
The new city council will be peculiarly
divided as to wards. The more fortunate
districts are the Eighth and Ninth wards
The Eighth has Warner and Whitcomb,
assemblymen. and Bantz, alderman; the
Ninth has Benson and Haas, assembly

sentation in the assembly

the reports that he is to be candidate
for the Republican nomination to the
district bench.
