made a speech on Washington as an
Expansionist," which was notable mostly
for the apologize tone adopted by the
ambitious Woodruff In dealing with the
advice of the father of his country
against entangling alliances. This adj
vice, Mr. woodruff sagely assured his
auditors. was only given in order to
enable the young republic to get a brief
breathing spell, which would enable 1t to
enter on the undertaking of licking all
creation if need be. And, now that we
have reached the point where we may
safely enter upon the undertaking, tbs
entangling alliance philosophy is. OF
course, to be regarded as played out.
1t is related that when Lochinvai
Woodruff turned his political steed
toward the West, he had one hearty
well-wisher and adviser, the strenuous
gentleman who is now busily occupied
in urging observance of the command
ment Thou shalt not steal on all tho

some of our local statesmen could intro.
duce Mr.. Woodruff into our political
midst before he returns. He would IN
deed be an appropriate and welcome
guest here in st. Paul. He would meet
kindred spirits-men Of large ambitions
like his own. The Lincoln club would
turn out in all the majesty of its aggre-
gate craftsmanship, and all the leading
semble to do him honor. F. C. Schifr-
mann's candidacy for mayor, which we
are assured by Statesman Reese is not
at all Joke, would receive encourages
ment and inspiration from the event,
and, doubtless, Candidate Reeves would
be able to secure exceptional street car
facilities to and from the vicinity of the
Auditorium to handle the immens.
throngs that would assemble to hear the
great man from New York.
The only circumstance which might
be expected to operate against pos
sible invitation to Mr.. Woodruff is thai
the grand director Of imperialist politics,
Senator Hanna, is understood to look
with disfavor upon MIR. Woodruffs am
billions. But on the other hand the other
great iniperialist leader, Senator Plat.
has not withheld his sanction from Mr..
Woodruff, and our local statesmen may
not consider themselves, in inviting this
vice presidential Barkis, as engaging in
any course which may meet with the dis.
approval of the great man who controls the
destinies Of this nation, and who Is TO-
day the strongest influence in the direc-
ton of the imperialist machine in the

Census Supervisor Vanish has secured

WARM TIME AHEAD.
There May Be. Trouble at Today's
Kansas City Primaries.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. 26.-The Re
publicans Of Kansas City, who will choose
their municipal ticket by ballot primaries
tomorrow and will select delegates to
meet in convention Thursday to ratify
these primary nominations, find them
selves on the eve Of the primary in an
almost hopeless muddle. Such bitter
ness has been aroused between the fol-
lowers Of P. s, Brown Jr and Chief or
Police Durham, the leading candidates
for mayor. that trouble at the polls and
a contest in the convention are not at
all unlikely.
The determination Of Burnham's sup
porters to vote by affidavit in the pri-
maries forced the supporters of Brown to
throw the question into the circuit court
today, Judge Henry being asked for
restraining order to prevent affidavit yot-
ing. The injunction was refused. Later
the Republican city central COMMITTEES
decided that If affidavit votes are cast
and the face of the returns show Burn
ham to be nominated the committee will
throw out these votes and declare Brown
the nominee.

MORAL YELLOW JOURNALS.

The American metropolis Is fast be-
coming like the French metropolis, at
least in one respect. Its people look for
their daily sensation, and as a rule it
is provided for them The chief purvey
ors OF sensation in New York are, of
course, the yellow press. These wonder
full productions are bent on selling papers,
and they find the production of the
daily sensation useful in their business.
The latest sensation provided by the yell
low press In New York is furnished
through Miss Olga Nethersole, a repu-
table and talented American actress. That
lady Is now engaged in the production of
a play called "Sapho.'' The yellow jour-
mails take violent exception to "Sapho"
and tell the world that it violates public
decency and is decidedly immoral in tone
and purpose.
The American stage is a pretty decent
sort of affair, ordinarily. There is not
very much of the elevating sort about
It's productions nowadays, and the clas-
a very drug on the market. The song and
dance and what is known as the tank
drama are the great features of current
stage production. People do not take the
stage seriously enough to even demand
the dispensation of erotic literature
through its agency. But, in the case of
Miss Nethersoie and her ''Sapho," that
is just the thing which, on the high
moral authority of the yellow press, the
people are now doing Isn't it pitiful?
Those who have not seen the perform
ance Of course cannot tell anything about
its moral caliber; but when it appeals to
the yellow press as being IN violation of
public decency 1t must be said that Miss
Nethersole Is in pretty bad way-that
u.s. of course, unless the whole thing Is a
rather unusually clever professional ad-
vertising scheme
And the yellow press, in it's character
OF grand censor and protector of public
morals, is about to secure the very able
and no doubt altogether acceptable as
sistance of deputy of the district attor-
ney, by the name of O'Reilly, who pro-
poses to reproduce ''Sapho'' in the police
court, thereby offering the yellow press
pictorial opportunities of rare promise
The production, too, is regarded by its
originator, Mr.. OReilly, as quite certain
to make a hit. 1t will be quite as much
Of novelty in the domain Of legal evil
dence as hypnotism or the X-ray. 1t will
draw" and 1t may reasonably be ex-
pected that the usual audience of the
police court in which it is reproduced
will be largely augmented on the occa-
sion Of its appearance.
Meanwhile Miss Nethersole goes on her
way, sublimely unconscious that she has
done. or threatened to, or is likely to
do, anything which should disturb the
moral sense of ordinarily decent people,
not to mention the purveyors of yellow
literature, thus giving point to the sus-
picion that the yellow press and Miss
Nethersoles manager understand each
other. But, even If this be the fact, 1t
is none the less gratifying to observe the
distinctly new channel in which the en-
ergies and enterprise of the New York
yellow journals are now moving.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-Formal dis
cussion Of the right Of former Senator
Quay to seat In the senate, as men,
Der from Pennsylvania, was begun today
by Mr.. Turley (Tenn.). He presented a
constitutional argument against the seat
ing of Mr.. Quay, which was given close
attention by his colleagues. He will con-
clude his speech tomorrow.
Consideration of the Hawaiian govern
ment bill brought out a lively discussion
between Mr. Tillman Is. c. and Mr.
Spooner CWis.), In which the former ad-
mitted that ballot boxes had been stuff
South to- maintain white domination. An
amendment was made to the bill, strik-
ing out the property qualification of
voters for members Of the legislature, but
little other progress was made.
Adverting to the amendment Of Mr.. Gull
lom, Mr.. Spooner appealed to Mr.. Till
man to lay aside the bloody shirt.
Mr. Tillman replied that his only reason
for rehabilitating the bloody shirt before
it was finally and irrevocably laid to rest
was that he wanted the position Of the
Southern people to be understood. He
was tired of the taunts and sneers at the
Southern people. After declaring that in
every Southern state, except South Caro-
line, the '.niggers'' held the balance Of
power He added:
CAS- such they stand there as menace
to poor suffrage and good government
because they are a purchasable quantity,
educated or uneducated.
I'VE are charged with fraud and cor
ruption and ballot-box stuffing. Finally
after bayonets had come into use again,
in 1876, We rose in Righteousness and
might We took the government. We
stuffed ballot boxes. We bulidozed the
'niggers' and we shot EN-, and we are
not ashamed of IT.
Leaning over toward Mr.. Spooner, and
shaking his finger at the Wisconsin sena-
tor, Mr.. Tillman said:
What would you have done? You
would have done the same thing, see it
in your eye." Naughter.)
The amendment offered by Mr.. Cullom
was finally adopted. So. too, was the
amendment Of Mr. Plat Comm. which
has been pending for several days, relat-
ing to the appointment and tenure of the
officers Of the judges of Hawaiian courts.
After the bill had been further amended,
Mr.. Butler On. CO. offered an amend
ment restoring to Hawaii the postal saw
ings bank system. The amendment was
supported by Mr.. Butler, and Mr.. Mason
QH). the latter declaring this was the
only civilized country in the world which
did not receive loans from the poor peo-
pie of the country-the only government
which was absolutely dominated by the
banks.
Mr.. Allison submitted that it would
be impossible to extend the postal saw
ings bank system over a part Of the
United States without making 1t general
in application; and even If it were pos
sible it would not be equitable to pay AZ
per cent.
