SHAMELESS CAMPAIGN NlErHoDs.

81
Several very vapid reasons have been
urged IN this campaign by the RepubI-
can organs against the candidate for
mayor on the Democratic ticket but the
one that caps the climax for ingratitude
ana mallgnity Is the circumstance that
Democrats like the Hon. Daniel w. Law

would never, as 1t does throughout the
article from which the above excerpt is
taken, express surprise or any emotion
whatever over the shamelessness of the
campaign which these men are now max
ing to retain their blighting hold on the
city Of St Paul In the methods of their
campaign they reveal all the affinity with
the criminal classes which might be ex-
pected of any set of men who are re-
sponsihle for the conduct for the past
four years of the public concerns of our
city
or what account can it be, for instance,
to such men or the newspapers back Of
them, to advance the reasons mentioned
by our contemporary, when they are at
this moment Ievying biackmail on the
brothels for the election Of their candi-
date for mayor? Why should they hest

the foul guest. But the fact is notorious.

EXIT MIR. CLARK.

William A. Clark, of Montana, is a pub
lie benefactor, although he does not rec
ognize the fact himself. 1t is more by
reason of the awful example he has af-
forded than by any intention on his part
that he occupies that position. Owing to
the colossal corruption which attended his
election as United States senator, the
evils incident to the present method of
electing United States senator's have
been brought home to the people as they
could have been in no other way. 1t is
not unlikely that, owing to the influence
Of this case on the public mind, there
will be general and a strong demand
that United States senators be elected
by popular vote and not by the state
legislatures.
There are strong reasons-constltutiona
reasons-why such a change should not
be made, but the demand for 1t is likely
to override all inimical reasons. The find

could possibly have expected, and much
milder than the public like to see. The

FooDsTUFFs FOR THE ORIENT.

The shipments Of American goods and
produce to Japan have grown TO remark
able proportions during the past six
years, and fully justify the most SAN
guine expectations that have been formed
regarding the growth Of our trade with
the Orient. In 1893 our exports to Japan
were valued at only $S,195, 494, while In
1899 they were $17.264,6SS, and will be in
creased by eight or ten millions during
1900
1t will interest Minnesota farmers to
know that a large proportion of these ex-
ports were foodstuffs Nearly Sc, 000, geo
worth Of flour was sent to the Orient last
year, an increase of 100000 over 1893.
and much of this went to Japan China
and Asiatic Russia took the rest This
trade is but In it's infancy. Wherever
American flour secures a foothod it re-
mains, and soon monopolizes the field.
Asiatics appreciate wheat flour, and when
once they have used it they lose any
preference they may have had for rice
and other native cereals. Within a few
years from now it is not improbable that
half the output of American foodstuffs
will be shipped westwards across the Pa
ciflc, and wheat will be the king of the
Orient.

If he had only brought the Insufferable
One to eternity the result OF his efforts
would have been hailed with universal
satisfaction. This bringing the Turk
to time" is an old story. and amounts
to nothing. as every power In Europe
has oftentimes learned.
In reply to the stern demand of Secretary
Hay that the sultan pay over that 100000
indemnity for loss and damages suffered
by American citizens at the time of the
last Armenian troubles, the Turk replies
with suspicious prolnptitude that he will
compensate American missionaries under
the same conditions as in the case of
other foreign subjects.
AS the Turk was never known to COM
pensate anybody, this Is evidently the
standard Turkish joke. and is humor-
Gus way of telling Secretary Hay to go
to the place where every true believer
knows every Christian will go sooner or
later.
Great Britain has on one or two occa-
sions obtained reparation from Turkey
by main force but no power has ever
succeeded by diplomacy or peaceful
means in securing compensation for in
jury done it's subjects from the Sublime
Porte. Perhaps Secretary Hay knows
this, and perhaps President Mckinley
and his advisers imagine that the thun-
der Of the guns of American warships in
the Bosporus would be exceedingly eff
fectiye at the same time in the United
States as campaign thunder.
