There Is a universal belief among Re-
publicans and Democrats alike that Rob-
ert A Smith will be the next mayor of
st. Paul The conviction is equally
prevalent that the corrupt aggregation
which has had control Of our common
council for four years past will pass into
the same limbo that waits to swallow up
the ambitions of Mr.. Chester R. Smith.
However we'll founded this feeling may
be, 1t is one which can easily be carried
to unsafe lengths Republican office
holders are being assessed every dollar
they will bear. A corruption fund of as
large dimensions as those which were
raised in the last two city elections
will lumber on its way through the va
rious wards with the same frequency as
marked the two preceding campaigns
Falsehood and slander will be relied on to
back up the corruption Of the local cleo
torate. The free disposal of franchises
and privileges which has been so mark
ed a feature of Republican administra-
ton will be expected to yield additional
revenue to its official promoters. The
alliance of the police and the criminals
will be as strong as it was In the Doran
campaign, and throughout all of his ad-
fninistration. The law will be allowed
to be violated by all who are pecuniarily
interested in its violation. The "rake-
off, from the social evil which the minis
try of our churches have pointed to will
not all find its way into the city treas
ury. Fear will be an all-potent influ-
ence with the office holding conspiracy.
The dread of a political tidal wave is
upon it's members They will exhaust
every effort known to their worst ele-
ments to avert the calamity that hangs
over them.
Under such circumstances the duty Of
every Independent and Democratic voter
is plain. Registration and voting are the
great essential to make the success that
is in the air assured. Enthusiasm will
do much. Votes will do more There
IS tn eILSCIlNS organization OF democrats
in every precinct in the city. Through
it every voter can be registered and can
vote if he will.
Hard earnest work is the need of the
hour. Democratic hopes cannot be real
lied without it. 1t is upon Democrats
that reliance must be placed If that
work is to be done. We have victory
within our grasp. Nothing short OF
weak assurance of that victory, with
the carelessness which 1t tends to en-
gender, will prevent it from being real
lied. Democrats must see to 1t that
nothing is left undone. The fate Of the
city and the party for years to come is
in the balance. 1t will be decided as
we want it decided If we are true to our
selves and to our city.

Washington Gossip, Political and
Otherwise, for the Readers

WASHINGTON, April 13-(Special -
The effort recently made by friends of
former Senator Washburn, OF Minnesota,
to put him gfcrward as candidate for
the vice presidency on the Republican
ucket at Philadelphia is certain TO fail.
inns actlon upon the part OF the Repub-
means Is largely due to the fact that
WashDurn is not considered anywhere
strong Vote-getter, and further that the
RepGblicftpS fear that the North Star
state VIII go Democratic next November
On account of the fact that the Repub-
l1cans are so badly mixed up In this stare
and In other Western and Northwestern
states, Senator Hanna, the present chair
man OF sthe national Republican cam;
paign committee, does not deem 1t wise
to hold out any official Inducements to
Minnesota Or any other Of the Western or
NorthwesternS states AS I have hereto
rore telegraphed from Washington, Min
nesota seems certain to go Democratic
next November. This means that this
state will cast its electoral vote against
President Mckinley in February next,
1t means further, that tho Democratic
state ticket, headed by John Lind, the
present governor of that state, who will
be reelected by the fusionists this year,
will win at the polls very easily.
The Minnesota Democrats further be-
lieve that the next legislature Will be

CLARK GOES; quay STAYS.

CLARK GOES; QUAY STAYS.
1t is observable that in the majority Of
the cases the thick-and-thin administra-
ton organs in discussing the expulsion Of
Senator Clark from his seat couple their
comments with more or less convincing
statements showing that there is no
parallel whatever between the case Of
Clark and that Of Quay. Clark, they
know, should under all circumstances
be excluded. But Quay, they know.
with equal certainty, should be permitted
to take his seat and keep it.
The G o b e from the outset has treat
ed the facts attending Clarks election
| as involving corruption. 1t believes now
that, could any serious doubt enter the
mind Of any just man as to the respon-
sibillty Of Clark for the disgraceful trans
actions attending his election, that doubt
has been removed by his failure to come
forward frankly, disavow the acts of
those who sought his election by means
clearly corrupt, and refuse to retain a
seat the possession of which would re-
main tainted to the end. But he has
chosen to do exactly as Senator Hanna,
the Republican leader, had done-pocket
the imputation of corruption and brib-
cry and hold on to the seat which came
to him by the questionable title of pur-
chase.
Quay will. we understand, be seated
| not right. No Republican OK will be
gored if the senatorial majority can help
it. Were Clark a Republican, as he is,
nominally, at least, a Democrat, there
would be found reasons more or less con-
vincing for his retention of his seat. Be
ing Democrat, he is found to have had
guilty knowledge Of, If not completely In,
| the transactions OF those who represent
ed him in the disbursement of money.
1t is pure and simple case of politics
with the Republican majority. The ex-
penditure of money, however corruptly,
! is no disqualification according to the
| standard of public ethics represented by
Hannaism. Indeed the corrupt use Of
money seems to be an incident to all
senatorial elections conducted under the
| auspices Of the trusts and the trust pro-
| moters. Mark Hanna maintains his seat
| although virtually convicted OF bribery
and corruption in securing it, and taint-
ed as he Is in his entire political being
with the foulness of corruption. Platt,.
OF New York, is another accepted cor
ruptionist. Quay is the very incarnation
of political filth. There are not half
dozen Republican senators in the entire
lot who are not regarded as having Sc
cured their seats through the undue and
unlawful use of money.
AS long as the corporations and trusts
are interested financially in the retention
of senatorial seats by men of the stamp
of Hanna, Platt and Quay, and as long
as wealthy and unscrupulous men of the
Clark type are ambitious of becoming
senators by virtue of the length Of their
purses, there can be no remedy for the
existing state Of things, but one. That
one is to remove the election of sena-
tors from the legislatures to the people.
Such remedy there is not the slightest
hope of the Republicans voluntarily
adopting. The Democracy of the coun-
try mist force The remedy into adop-
ton The agitation of the subject should

McCardyism Is the main reliance of the
Republican city politicians in the fright

The Dispatch is the echo Of its eminent
contemporary and enemy. 1t Is at least
consistent. 1t has always shouted the
antique refrain of "the old gang" when
ever the occasion has seemed to demand
IT, The Pioneer Press is a more recent
disciple to the doctrine of cheap dema-
gog1sm and deliberate falsehood. In the
years Of the city's upbuilding, when all
the public improvements now have to

Press repudIated and denounced the false
claims which 1t is itself now putting for
ward so dishonesty. 1t supported Robert
A. Smith for mayor In 1890 against An
drew r. Kiefer. It now declares that
in doing so 1t helped to rob and disgrace
the city. Does the voting public bell We

Figures are now being paraded In the
columns of the two Republican papers
as proof Of the right of the Republican
politicians to hold their jobs. II these
figures show anything they show that
during the administration Of Mayor Saith
from 1894 to 1896-the debt-reducing pro
cess went on undisturbed. Was the citv

all other times under Democratic rule?
Or are we to understand there is a Re-
publican patent on this debt -reduci- q
business? The figures quoted are McCar-

Of all these reductions.

Maurice Grau made this announcement
today. Mr., Grau said:
We have today settled upon the plan1
for our coming season, so far as the be-
ginning is concerned We have signed
lease for the grand opera house in Sar
francisco for period Of three weeks
and will there open the grand opera
season Of 1900-1901. The season will start
from Europe on Oct. I, and proceed di,
rect to San Francisco. 1t will be the first
time on record that an opera company
made such Jump at one time It Will be
an epoch in the musical history Of San
francisco, which place has been visited
by no grand opera company since 1890,
when Nine. Patti and NJ. Tango were
there. The company which numbers
about 225 persons, will arrive in New
York Oct. q and proceed at once across
the continent in a special train. The en-
tire trip will occupy altogether about
I've weeks. AS the season will open In
New York on Dec. IS, the number OF
cities, after leaving San Francisco, ct
which we shall be able to give per-
formances will be very limited, probably
they will be confined to Los Angeles, two
nights, perhaps Salt Lake City one night,
Denver, two nights; Kansas City, two

pany will come direct from Minneapolis
where it will close on Dec. IA, to New

Senator HOarSS Letter to Irish HIS

BOSTON, April BIN response to an
invitation extended to him by the Irish
Historical society, Hon. G.. F. Hoar,
senior senator from Massachusetts,, has
written to Secretary Thomas Hamilton
Ouray a letter regretting inability to par
ticipate with the society in its 18th of
April celebration. In the letter Senator
Hoar says:
':But I am sure that the celebration
will be in the spirit which animated the
men who fought and died on the 18th Of
April, 1775 You will, 1 am sure, rein
force the lesson that no human power
can turn wrong into right, injustice into
justice can lawfully crush out the love
of liberty, native in every human soul
and the right to independence that be-
longs to every people.
''The men of the 18th of April were
victorious against what seemed at the
time invincible odds. The result was
the freedom of the Western hemisphere
from the Atlantic ocean to Cape Horn.
'SThis spirit, 1 am sure, sooner or later.
will be victorious against what now
seems invincible odds in the Eastern
hemisphere, which shall yet, In God S
good time. be only occupied by free
men and independent nations"
