A FOUL BLOW.

The Seventh ward Of this city is re-
the highest prevailing standards of pop
ular intelligence and political ethics. The
Republican party in the Seventh ward,
it is almost needless to add is understood
to typify The transcendaut quality OF in
tense partisanship combined with a broad
tolerance and an answering patriotism.
Col. Andrew r. Kiefer has not been re-
garded In the past as realizing the high
which prevail among the political breth-
rem in the Seventh ward and has accord
tngly Jared poorly when his name has
been submitted to them as candidate
for public honor and emolument.
change has evidently been wrought
recently among Mayor Kiefers party as
sociates in that favored section of our
city, or at least in one of the most IA
vored of the existing political subdivi-
sions thereof. The Republicans Of the
Third precinct of the Seventh ward have
within day or two taken occasion to
express the high regard in which they
hold our esteemed executive and his re-
markable administration. In doing 50. 1t
must be said that they have departed
from those principles of conduct in po-
litical warfare which less favored ele-
ments of our society regard as funda-
mental to all understanding Of honorable
conduct. They have not declared openly
and without reserve for Mayor Kiefer's
candidacy for denomination but have
bound their delegates to tomorrow's con-
vention to vote as a unit against the am
bitions of Mr.. Fred C. Schinmann, at
present. we assume, the leading candi-
date fer the mayeralty nomination in
that convention.
What crime against public morality or
party doctrine Mr. Schiffmann has com
mitted the gentlemen of the Third pre-
cinct of the Seventh ward have not speci-
hed. lie has never held public station
He is native OF this city, the son of a
well known and universally esteemed cit
izen and. 50 far at least as the gentle
men of the Third precinct Of the Seventh
ward have indicated tc the contrary, a
sound Republican and an upright man.

THOSE MINING PERMITS.
Senator Jones Accuses Secretary of
War of FavOrttism.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Little prog
ress was made by the senate today with
the Puerto Rican tariff and government
bill. 1t was under discussion for nearly
three hours. but the greater part of the
time was consumed in the consideration
of a free coinage amendment offered by
Mr.. Morgan. The amendment is stfTl
pending.
The Alaskan civil code bill was consid-
cred during the morning hour. An amend
ment offered by Mr.. Carter setting aside
power hitherto granted to the secretary
of war for the mining of gold under the
sea on the Alaskan coast precipitated a
lively debate.
Casting light on the amendment, Mr.
Carter adverted to an interview he had
had with the secretary Of war, In which
he had asked the secretary why he had
not issued a general proclamation au-
thorizing all persons to dredge for gold
In the waters referred TO- The secretary
replied that permits had only been grant
ed to persons whose applications had been
approved by the chief of engineers. Mr.
Carter said that while 1t was known that
excavations made in the Alaskan waters
would be made for gold, IT was precisely
such a permit as would be granted to a
person to eXcavate sand on the shores of
New Jersey. The permit granted by the
secretary Of war was simply a protec-
u
United States, without which he would
not be able legally to mine He com
planned that the permits granted were
exclusive.
Mr.. Walcott pointed out that the sit
uation on the Alaskan coast was unique
Gold had never been found In such
places. When miners discovered gold be-
low mean high tide in Bering sea, they
were confronted by a United States stat
ute which prevented them from working
the claims. The secretary OF war, Mr..
Wolcott said. had issued permits to all
responsible persons applying for them
In answer to an Inquiry by Mr. CockrelI
(Mo), MIR. Carter said the license granted
by the secretary of war was such as
could be granted to any citizen of the
United States.
In a sharp attack upon the actions OF
the secretary OF war; Mr.. Jones (Ark)
said it was evident to him that the per-
mits had been granted In order to put
such construction upon the law as no
court Of Justice would give It.
ut Is. said he, can indefensfble out
rage. 1t Is simply a means adopted by
the secretary to drive honest miners out
OF their rights and TO give exclusive priv
feges to a few people he may deem re-
sponsible. l think this was a deliberate
scheme of a few persons to monopelize

To brand him as, under all conceivable
circumstances, unworthy of the support
of a given section of his party as
soeiates may be intended as an implied
encomium on Mayor Kiefer and his ad-
ministration. 1t may be regarded as
merely the expression of the high estl-
nation in which these gentlemen hold
themselves in their relation to the ball
ance of local society, or 1t may be that
the superior attractions which the DEM
ocratic ticket possesses have compelled
them to avow their readiness to cast the
weight of their influence and votes IN
the scale for the Hon Robert A Smith.
In the last mentioned event 1t may not
be altogether becoming on the part of
the G o b c to occupy an attitude which
savors of criticism toward these gentle
men Of social and intellectual pre-em-
inence, as they undoubtedly are. But,
with this consideration absent, or at least
lost sight Of for the moment, there Is not
Democrat In St Paul from the confines
of what has been SO elegantly designated
by the Seventh ward Republicans as the
goose pastures of the Fifth ward to the
classic precincts Of Connemara patch,
who will not unite with his fellow Demo
crat in declaring that the action Of the
superfine gentlemen of the Third precinct
of the Seventh ward toward Mr.. SchiR-
mann is oowardly, unprinclpled and al
together intolerable. 1t is blow beneath
the belt, form of attack which Is far
more suggestive of the political hoedlum
than of the members of silk-stocking-
ed political society.
If our distinguished mayor gains no
more from the action of his friends in
the Third precinct of the Seventh ward
who have thus bound their representa-
tiyes to vote for him against his only
serious opponent in the convention that
that opponent loses, the C l o greatly
fears that Mr.. Schinmann's nomination
is already an assured fact.

BISHOP PoTTER,s cHANGE.

1t is beyond all doubt that Bishop Potter
has suffered a change of opinion or Of
heart on the subject of the Philippines
so radical as to lay him open to the inn
putation of either having spoken without
reflection In his utterances in this city, on
his way to the islands, or of having yield
ed his better judgment to what ne con-
ceives to be the requirements of the mis-
sionary undertakings of his church.
There is no need to set the bishops op-
posing utterances in parallel columns to
show that four days stay on the ISL
ands played sad havoc with opinions
which the country was justified in regard
ing as the result Of careful thought The
bishop has changed his Views, from what
motive, or on what evidence. it is not
necessary to inquire. He is not politi-
clan. He has no public civil responsibility
Of any kind. His original utterances were
plainly outside the domain of his calling
and proper influence More Importance
was attached to them by political society
tance is now being attached to his most
recent declarations than they merit
What the bishops views are on any mat
ter of purely civil concern Is, after ALL but
Of limited moment He cannot be regard
ed as having given anything like the de-
gree of thought and consideration to such
subjects that the ordinary iayman, and
especially the man engaged in political
life, does.
The facts Of the matter appear to be
that Bishop Potter evidently satisfied
himself that the Philippines present a
splendid field for missionary endeavor,
and that the field admits of much more
effective cultivation provided the islands
remain under the jurisdiction of Ameri-
can authrity. Who will quarrel with the
good bishop on this score? Is he not called
on in his sacred character as a Chris
ttan pastor to place the spiritual welfare
of men above any mere earthly concern.

wise?
subject have, We believe, been misunder-
stood, If not misrepresented. He is quot
ed as saying that we cannot now do
what 1T might have been desirable to do
two days after the battle OF Manila"
This language certainly has a IA
miHar sound. 1t embodies the main argu-
ment Of the imperialist politician, and the
bishop may at the moment have been
hurried into using it without a thought
of placing himself In the category of i'm
perialist advocates. Everything depends
on the viewpoint. Bishop Potter, when
he spoke in st. Paul, spoke from the
standpoint Of his citizenship. Later he
spoke as a bishop of the Episcopal
church. anxious to see a broad field
thrown open to Christian evangelization.
Bishop Potter Is certainly entitled to
his opinions He is just as sincere in the
one instance as in the other. But In the
later expression Of these views he must
be regarded as looking at his subject
from a narrower, or at least a different,
ground than when ne spoke to a general
audience in St. Paul, composed Of labor
ing men and others. who could not be
expected to have any particular synlpa-
thy with his views merely as a tflgnitary
of the Episcopal church.
