The Famine in India.

The famine in India is troubling
our good people and they are try
ing to help the sufferers.
This is right, but what is Eng
land doingg
Fer five years this famine has
been going on and during the year
of Queen Victoria's jubilee, three
years ago, about 100000 of her
Indian subjects starved to death.
Knowing the horrors of the sit
notwithstanding her responsible
ty in the sight of God-Epgland
has left her subjects to starve, bnt
she has found $750,000,000 to ap
propriate for the purpose Of shoot
ing down the Beers for the afro
cious crime Of defending their own
homes,
The people of India are just
what England has made them by
her political religious, social and
bnsi 'ess policy.
If they are helpless and perish
ing today, ii is England's duty to
relive them at any cost.
1t is infamous to spend $780,
100000, in Strengthening the Beers
and trust to the good people Of
o,hel countries to help the unfor-
Inmates in India.

ONE production of a protection paper
deserves wide publication and it is this
bit of irony from the Bridgeport,
Conn.,, Standard: "The effect of the
tariff in building up trusts is painfully
and severely obvious in the case of the
Tammany ice trust of New York City
and way stations. While the native
ice of Cuba, the Philippines and Porto
Rico is allowed to rot under the trees
from which it drops when ripe, and
cannot be proftably exported to this
country, owing to the tariff, the home
combination between Tammany pro-
moters and a few Maine men, who
grow the American article, is enabled
to put up prices, and export in single
season fortunes for it's officials, wrung
from the people who must have ice at
any price or go without! Were the
native ice of the tropics allowed to flow
in an unrestricted flood into this coun-
try from our new possessions, Mayor
Van Wyck would be unable to bull
doze the public any longer and even
Mr.. Bryan might now and then get a
fve-cent chunk to wear in his hat.''

In his great speech before the State
convention last week Senator Carter
of Montana, said the Republicans
would carry every State from Maine to
Washington, bordering on the Can
adian line. This sounds like rather
optimistic view to be voiced at such a
time, but if one will follow the map he
will see the difficulty of picking out a
single State along the northern border
where the Democrats can maintain any
reasonable hope of success. Mime
sofa, which stands about midway on
the line, will be good for 80, 600 major
ity for Mckinley and Roosevelt and q
continuance of good government.

WE have not at this writing a copy
of the national Democratic platform at
hand, but it is not difficult matter to
conceive wh lat kind, of an instrument
it will be. The best word twisters of
the party are employed in framing the
promises which are to be made, as to
the Democratic opposition to trusts.
These promises will be made with
calm disregard OF the fact that the
Democrats in congress prevented the
passage of bill for a constitutional
amendment that would have made the
trusts directly amenable to the pro-
cesses Of common lawEand placed their
control in the hands of the courts.
Then too, there is the question OF
| ''imperialsm'' that. must be met and
dealt with. Even Democratic con.
,vention cannot straddle THAT The
Republicans have gone squarely on
record in favor of national expansion
and the Democrats of course, will call
this Imperialism. They will not carry
a northern or northwestern state or
the issue Of anti-expansion. They vii
not carry an eastern state on the issue
of free silver, and they will not carr,
any state on the strength Of their pro
fessed hostility to the trusts, because
no state will credit them with tn,
honesty or intelligence necessary t,
accomplish practical legislation OF
that subject .s.. .y

SO far the only foreign representa-
tive known to have been killed in the
Chinese outbreak is the German con-
sui at Chefu, who has been murdered
by the imperial troops. There is
every indication that general war
fare will soon be begun in the celestial
empire and the complications will be
numerous. Russia seems to have
brought on the affair in order to have
an excuse to seize Chinese territory
and the other nations must suffer on
account of Muscovite cupidity.

TEE PB1N oBToN UNION: THURSDAY, july i, 1900.
THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

THE REPUBLICAN, STATE TICKET.p#
AS whole the ticket nominated by
the Republicans at the State conYen-
tion held in the auditorium building,
ST. Paul, last Thursday, is a good one,
although the;tail is weak. S.@R. Van
SAINT for governor, Lyndon "A. Smith
for. lieutenant governor, J. H. Block
for treasurer, w. B. Douglas for attor-
ney general, G. M. Start for chief JUS
tice, and L. w. Collins, for associate
justice, we're nominated by acclama-
tion. They are all strong, clean men
and merited the high compliment that
was paid them by the convention. It
required two ballots to select the can
didate for secretary of state, and Peter
E. Hanson, of Litchfeld, was the
lucky man. Nationality and the pow
erful support of the friends. of Sen
ator Nelson and the gubernatorial
nominee were the determining factors
in the contest for the secretaryship.
Messrs. Langum, Molander and LON
men battled gallantly and. accepted
defeat gracefully. OF the three nom
inees for the office of railroad and
warehouse commissioners Charles F.
Staples is the only one who will add
strength to the ticket. Judge Mills
served on the board under Governors
Nelson and Clough and made a good
commissioner, but for some reason or
other there is an unreasonable preju-
dice against him. The other nominee,
Mr.. Joseph H. Miller, halls from Two
Harbors, where he is employed in a
minor clerical capacity by the Duluth
& Iron Range r. r. company. 1t is
claimed that Mr.. Miller's nomination
was demanded by 10000 railroad en-
ployes, and that he is the especial
representative of the labor element on
the ticket, all of which we hope is true.
The platform, like all political plat.
forms, reads smoothly and promises
largely.
The Princeton union., 1900-07-05

If the Democratic managers insist
upon making anti-expansion leading
issue in the campaign there is every
reason to believe that the Republicans
can capture two or three of the States
embraced in the territory commonly
known as the solid south. Neither
Kentucky or Alabama can be carried
by the Democrats on such an issue, un-
less some other question is forced into
consideration along with it, The ma
tional policy now in force has almost
doubled the market facilities of the
south, and has added infinitely to the
wealth and growth of that section.
Even bourbonism must give way to the
dictates of common sense when they
strike directly at the pockets of the
people.

HON. A. N DARE has no reason TO
feel ashamed OF the showing be made
in the Republican State convention j as
. candidate for railroad commissioner,
especially when the fearful odds she
had to contend with is taken into con-
sideration. Outside of Duluth and Its
dependencies Mr.. Dare had practically
the solid support of the Sixth congress
ssional district and he had respectable
following from other59districts. We dc
not care to discuss the causes which
contributed to Mr.. Dare's defeat. The
opposition can be depended upon to at
tend to&that matter. 1 = "

GEN. THOMAS.

BY D. DONOVAN
He is not dead-it is not night
A star but set again to rise:
To clothe the earth with holy light
And beam in beauty from the Skies
He is not dead-the sun that sets
On Chickamauga's storied plain
With morning spendors clothes the earth
And mounts celestial once again.
He is not dead-the hoary mount,
The spreading plain. the sweeping river,
His deathless glories all recount,
And witness of his fame forever
His name is writ in countless hearts
Of living brave he sternly led
Stone Rivers field and Nashvilles plain
Embalm the hero with their dead.
The land he loved enshrines his fame,
And in her life her hero lives:
Her proudest page preserves his name
All deathless in the love she gives.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST MCKINLEY.
Most people will be, reluctant to be-
lieve anything against the personal
character Of William Mckinley, yet it
must be acknowledged that :here is
strong evidence proving him guilty of
a serious charge that has been brought
against him by farmer residing a
short distance from Washington in
New Jersey. It seems that the farmer
had $4,000. and some one waylaid him,
Knocked him senseless and robbed him
<of severv dollar of it. The. farmer, of
course, does not claim that Mckinley
had anything to do directly with the
robbery, BUT he does charge the presi-
dent with Indirect responsibility, for
he says, if it had not been for McKin-
| ley and the Republican party he would
not have had the $4,000 and so would
not have lost it.-Albert Lea Times.

"wAlrlNo ORDERS"

Oh, We that shine in thickest tight,
And We with labor spent,
That bear the heat and dust and sweat,
On victory intent,
Look not with scorn upon the ranks
OF those that idly stand.
While on your empty scabbards CLEAN
The glare of burning brand.
There is a fate more hard to bear
Than that which takes away
The warrior from his cherished hearth;
1t is the long delay.
I The heart grown sick from hope deferred,
The summons never given,
The thought that other hands shall bear
The flag in battle riven;
1t is to hear the trumpet's call,
The lannon's loud alarm,
And see the smoke on distant fields
While all around is calm;
To feel that we could battle, too,
If but the call would come,
And not be tagging at the sound
or bugle, fife and drum.
And then. because our hopes grow faint,
Self-trust is shattered. too;
At last we wonder, could we strike
AS hard as others do?
And could we stand the storm of fire.
The bullets dreadful hail.
Like that heroic vanguard stands,
Nor at the carnage quail?
All, sadder than to storm the height,
And on it's slope to die,
And crueller than in the dust
With parched lips to lie,
1t is to wait with beating heart
A chance to do and die,
Till others have the victory won
And fighting days are by.
