The postoffice frauds at Havana, l Ike
the custcm house frauds made public some
time ago in the same city, show clea "
one of the great difficulties which attend
an American administration of Cuban af-
fairs The exposure Of beth makes very
clear, also, the purpose ard cha acter OF
the man who represents this people at
this moment at the head cf Cuban affairs
Gen. Wood seems to have an uncommonly
clear understanding of popular character
down in that country, and an equally
clear determination to see to it that the
disposition to wink at public robbe y
which is a legacy from Spanish donina-
ton, is not going to be further encouraged
or complicated by having engrafted On it
the distinctively American growth of the
spois theory.
1t is of little moment to inquire who is
responsible for the appointment of the
man, Neely, who is mcst prominently
identified with the postof1oe frauds. OF
course he received his appointment as
reward for services" rendered in pcli-
tics to the Mckinley administration
There is no criticism Of the admin ira
ton which can proftably be INDUCED in
this regard, save that the party which
produces such characters ought to have
the decency to give up its pleacaiags
about civil service and purity in ofEee.
Both parties are committed to the spoils
theory. and no doubt willy continue 50
committed for long time to come.
With such a man as Gen. Wood to deal
both with the Spanish and the American
official theory of the value of public Of
flee, there is no fear that either evil will
find any great spread among the Cuban
people or officials But without man
like Wood-what then? With an acqui-
escent politician Of any party in his po-
sition, the worst that could happen Of this
general description Of frauds would ca tly
find suppression.

the beauties Of Imperialism. How far
either viii be mitgated by the assurances
which we are certain to receive in aban-
dance from time to time that the spoils
system will not be allowed to prevail, and
that civil service rules will prevail in all
departments OF our colonial service, IS
not difficult to understand. In any event,
the glimpse which the Havana frauds
have given this people of the possibii les
of imperialism in practical operation
ought to be of considerable value In the
shaping of public sentiment.

The election of DR.. Schiffmann as chair
man of the common council is q very
graceful and timely recognition of the
worth Of the man and of invaluable serv-
ices to his party in the recent election
which resulted from his mere candidacy
for alderman of the Seventh ward.
St. Paul Democracy is in need of many
men Of the stamp of DR.. Schiffmann. The
temper of the St Paul public demands
that wherever such men are to be found
in the party they shall be advanced to
high public station. 1t is true that men
Of DR.. Schinmann's type are careful TO
avoid anything like active particinatfon in
political affairs. This is especially true
with reference to local politics, and 1t is a
circumstance with which the incoming
administration viii have to deal. and
which the public ought to bear in mind.
The significance of the recent Democratic
victory lies chiefly in the public demand
to which it gives expression that new
men and new methods are needed TO pre-
vail in ci1y affairs.
Mayor Smith must take the warning
which Mayor Kiefer, and especially Mavor
Kiefer's predecessor, thought proper to
ignore. 1t is true that the immediate re-

tory was against Objectionable Republican

owner reported the two cows sold to the
South St Paul citizen, and subsequent
inspection failed to show the disposition

butchers finally revealed the purchase for

who operates a sausage factory at the
Minnesota Transfer. Cochin said he got
the carcass from Butcher Frank Heggie,
who admitted he had slaughtered the
animal at the CTisty farm, on the upper

had given him the COW, and he had the

The complicated condition of the case
IS due to the fact the health officials be-

of all concerned to sell the sick cow and
avoid responsibility for the violation Of
the law.

TONNES NOMINATION
AT Sioux Falls Ruined His Chances
as "a Democratic Probability.

NdSnlnSC ton Times.
The Democratic leaders, big and little,
were decidedly aveTse yesterday to talk
ing about the action of the Sioux Falls
convention. Senator Jones, chairman Of
the Democratic national committee, de-
nied himself to all reportorial callers. ana
an expression rejecting his views could
not be obtained from anybody supposed
to be in his confidence One Of the big
gest Democrats in the country, who re-
fused the use Of his name said to
Times representative: IF Senator Pet
tigreW and the others who apparently
were responsible for Towne's nomination
are really in earnest in their movement
for him they should not have permitted
the Sioux Falls convention to put his
name on the ticket. They should have
left the secord place vacant and made
q fight a Kansas City for their man. AS
the case now stands, l feel certain the
Democrats Will not accept ToWne as
Bryan's running mate. But the Mime
sofa man. l very much dread will just
cause enough trouble at Kansas City to
make thousands of free silver Republicans
mad at US. A large number of those
voters are only too eager for some excuse
to break company with the Democrats,
anyhow, and it may be that when we
turn down their man at Kansas City this
act will give them their much-desired op-
pOrtunity to set up in business for them
selves in the close states of the West
where they could do US most harm. So,
you see, there is more danger in the
TOwne movement than there was in the
Tom Watson fooIishness four years ago
And [ am inclined to believe that if Pet
tigrew and Butler had kept faith with US
We would not now be threatened with
ugly trouble from a new source. AS
view the matter, it is entirely out Of the
question for US to accept Towne. Nr.
Bryan represents the idea Towne stands
for better than Towne does himself. If,
therefore, concessions are to be made,
does not good politics demand that We
make concessions to the people who ara
opposed to US on some Of the broader is
sues? And if we are to pick up a new
man, why not take a military hero? We
have the only two heroes Of the Spanish
war to choose between-Dewey and
Schley. Why not take one Of these if
we are to go outside of the regular field
for a running mate for Bryan? We have
Dewey's word for it that he is a Demo-
crat. Everybody comedies that either Of
these would add strength to the ticket
Nobody doubts that Schley would carry
Maryland which went against US four
years ago, and nobody doubts that
Schley would attract many thousands OF
German votes"
