The St. Paul Globe, the only
Democratic daily in the Twin
Cities, openly repudiates the demo-
cratic national platform and candi-
dates. 1t places patriotism above
partisanship. 1t declares that the
16-1 heresy was emphatically bad
in every phase four years ago-to-
day it is idiotic. The logic of
events has proved its utter falsity.
AS an issue it never ought to have
existed, but now tits dead. Bryan,
it considers a dangerous man, and
denies him that measure of ability
which president of the United
States must be endowed with.
His lack Of business. sagacity is
evident from the fact of his devo-
ton to his pet financial falacy.
Disaster lays along the, lines of his
policy. The Globe will none of it.

PULL TOGETHER.

IA good strong movement has
been started toward the building OF
a good hotel. All that is needed
to make it success is a strong,
united, liberal effort. A committee
of representative business men,
who have the interests of the city
at heart, will canvass the city for
encouragement of the enterprise.
Let all minor differences of opinion
be sunk in the central idea of Sc
curing such a hotel as we need.
Its location, style of architecture
size and like details can well be left
to the executive.eommittee to man.
age with whoever shall put up the
building. Unlike any other BUSH
ness, hotel belongs to the entire
community. Beyond anything
else, it influences the impressions
a stranger receives of place.
Feed and house him we'll, give him
courteous treatment while doing it,
and he becomes an active and per-
sistant advertiser for the place.
What Sank Centre needs is a hotel
which will be a perpetual adVer-
tisement. We have the best town
of its size in the state, and we want
people to know it.

MORE HOPEFUL FEELING.

Reported Division Among the Chinese OF
Utmost Importance.
LONDON, July lO.-The more hopeful
feeling engendered by Saturdays news
from Pekin has been further strength
ened by Rear Admiral Bruce's endorse
ment of the rumors that Prince Ching,
who is said to be heading counter.
revolution at Pekin, is fighting in be.
half of the legations against the usur.
per, Prince Tuan. If the admiral
hope that Prince Ching with his army
is defending the legations at Pekin
against Prince Tuan turns out to be
well founded this turn of events is of
the utmost importance, as it is felt here
that in some such division among the
Chinese themselves lies the best hope
for the safety of the foreigners. If the
powers can find allies in China itself it
will materially facilitate the task of re-
storing order and those acquainted with
the country believe that if the diplo-
mats are able to induce such man as
Ii Hung Chang or Chang Chi Tung to
send forces to the assistance Of Prince
Ching, the hordes of revolutionists will
dispense as quickly as they have col.
lected and a way to Pekin will be
opened without great delay. With all
due allowance for the uncertainty in
regard to the reliability, the authorities
here feel that the latest messages from
the Far East give distinct hope. If, as
suggested, the native sympathizers are
able to keep the besieged legation rea-
sonably supplied with provisions, the
foreign colony may yet escape destruc-
ton.

SOME REASON FOR HOPE.
Washington Encouraged by the Lates
Chinese News.

Washington Encouraged by the Latest
Chinese News.
WASHINGTON, July Though fear
full Of giving false encouragement, the
state department. officials admit that
there is reason for hope now respecting
the welfare of the legationers at Pekin.
Minister Wu's cablegram from Sheng,
taken in connection with the report Of
Admiral Bruce from Tein Tsin, has
done much to encourage this hopeful
feeling. Mr.. WI brought his telegram
to the state department in person and
pointed out to Secretary Hay what he
regarded as some significant and graft
flying features of his dispatch. Such,
for instance, was Sheng's description
Of the Chinese who are attacking the
legations as 'rebellious troops and riot
ers," and the positive statement that
the Chinese government is opposing
them

In its reputation of the demo-
cratic national conventions work
the st. Paul Globe is not content
to "double-lead," it needs must
'tslug" its editorial, that one may
clearly read between the lines that
superlative disgust which influ.
ences its action. And the Globe is
but type. 1t is one of tens Of
thousands of honest democrats
who will not, cannot, support such
unwise and unpatriotic policies as
were promulgated at Kansas City
last week.

The Democrats turned deaf
ear to the Populists and Free Sill
yer Republicans in their nominal.
ing convention, and turned Mr.
Towne's scholarly portrait face to
the wall. His announcement that
he is, and for four years has been
a complete Democrat in everything
but the open avowal, did not serve
to save him. Mr.. Hill of New
York, was clearly the choice of the
convention, but he unequivocally
declined the empty honor. A half
dozen favorite-son candidates were
let loose upon the convention. but
none of them received more than
a mere handful of votes. Mime
sofa was the only state to cast its
vote solidly for Mr.. Towne Adlai
Stevenson, who served as vice.
president with Grover Cleveland
received the Hill strength, and was
nominated. Atleast his democracy
is not in question. Other qualifi-
cations he may have, but convic-
lions and principles are not among
them. He is respectable old
fossil who is not guilty of having
any decided opinions, and can
readily adjust himself to any plat
form. He is just as good a rum
ming mate for Bryan now as he
was for Cleveland then. He will
add nothing to the ticket-he will
take nothing from it. Mr.. ToWne
would have been a better man in
his place. He has been denied the
honor of the nomination, and by
the same token, he has been spared
the modification of defeat.
