Press to discountenance the enthusiastic
devotion to the pubic service manifested
under such distressing circumstances by
Mr.. Getchell and his associates. 1t will
not be surprising, however, should the
supreme court crafty these patriotic i'm
pulses of Getchell and his friends, to hear
the two organs declairning their convic-
ton that the adoption of the charter was
an absolute mistake.
It has been made quite plain from pre-
ceding experiences that the district court
of Ramsey county has but little patience
with any course Of political conduct which
would subordinate the welfare of the en-
tire community to the demands Of hand
full Of insistent offlceholders. And So,
since the party complexion of the supreme
court has been made to their liking, these
patriots have decided that, if not on 9TH
good of the party" overturn the peoples
will and enable them to hang on to their
jobs. The compliment which is involved
to the appellate court of Minnesota is
far from being lost on the people. The
notices to which reference is made must
then be regarded as being served, not on
the city comptroller alone, but also on
the party associates of these ingenious
gentlemen who are now members of our
highest court.

WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS
GEN. WOOD ASSURES CUBANs THEY
WILL ULTIMATELY GO.

HAVANA, July lat no time since
the American occupation of Cuba has
Havana shown such scenes of enthus-
iasm and excitement as were Witnessed
today upon the Inauguration of Gen.
Alexandra Rodriguez, the first Cuban
elected mayor. Gen. Wood, accompanied
by his staff, entered the building by
private door, and was received by Gen.
Maxine Gomez and Gen. Rodriguez,
who escorted him to the chamber which
was decorated with flags and flowers.
The proceedings commenced by Senior
Mederos, the outgoing mayor, reading
resume of what had been done since
Senior La COste first took office
AT the conclusion of the reading Gen.
Rodriguez and the council We're sworn
in. Addressing Gen. Wood, the new may
been such as to elicit the admiration not
only of his own cOuntrymen but the graf
itude of all Cubans, and on behalf Of
the National party, he desired to state
that it had the fullest confidence in the
intentions of the American administra-
ton.
Replying, Gen. Wood said that the Unit
ed States had always intended to carry
out the joint resolution of congress- and
that every step taken by the government
In connection with Cuban affairs had
tended for that end. The forming of the
rural guards and the gradual withdrawal
of the United States troops was only a
small portion of what was intended No
body, he declared, could defeat the re-
suits unless it was the Cubans them
selves.

sailors are Germans who have no home
and no relatives in this country. Most
of them lived in Germany At 4 O'Clock
this morning nineteen men, machinists
and firemen, were taken off the steamship
Bremen after having been held very
close bound, with death staring them in
the face, for nearly twelve hours. They
were brought ashore on tugs, and taken
care Of in hotels, near the company's
charred property. No loss of life was re-
ported from the Bremen, with the excep-
ton of probability of deaths occurring
from the capsizing of the boat already
mentioned. AS seventy-four persons were
rescued from the river by six boats of
the steamer Phoenicia, of the Hamburg
American line, it is possible all escaped
from the Bremen.

WANT TO BE ON THE PAY Ro1

WANT TO BE ON THE PAY ROLL.
The notices served by former city Off
Gals Of st. Paul on their friend, the city
comptroller, tell an instructive tale They
want to be retained on the city pay roll.
That laudable end they will accomplish
though the heavens of the new charter
should fall. What are charters or consti-
tutions to them? They are all public
spirited and patriotic citizens, who are
willing to sacrifice the city itself and it's
possible advancement rather than that
it should lose their services The peoples
will is their law. But the peoples will
must be lawfully and constitutionalIy
expressed, or they will revolt against the
loss which is involved-not to them, but to
the community-by their exclusion from
the high and honorable privilege of serv-
ing their country.
During the recent campaign we had all
the orators Of the local Republican ma
chine shout themselves hoarse over the
urgent need of adopting the new charter.
The b e, throughout the prevailing
din, felt at liberty to seriously call in
| question the reality of the advocacy which
was then made SO vociferously manifest.
1t called attention to the fact that for
months and months newspapers and pol
iticians alike of the machine were adverse
to any change whatever in the local Or
ganic law. The change which came over
the machine dream was evidently only
temporary change. and the virtues of
the Bell charter are now asserting them
selves as strenuously as before.
1t IS only at the expense of reverting
to old conditions that the public-spirited
desire of these patriots can be gratified.
That the Republican machine is anxious
that that desire should be satisfied is
made quite plain by the discreet silence
which its newspaper, organs maintain.

"UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT
WEARS A CROWN"

W EARS A GROWN"
The nomination of Peter E. Hanson for
secretary Of state by the Republican
state convention is likely to prove a
losing venture in the campaign for that
political party. As the causes and in
fluences which secured his nomination
are becoming known, and will become
more widely known before long, E@eeling
of deep resentment towards those re-
sponsible for the Hanson nomination is
being manifested by a large section of
the Republican party, and it Is not i'm
probable that this feeling will be car
ried to the polls, and operate not only
against the nominee, but adversely to the
interests of the junior United States SEN
ator, who will seek reelection at the
hands of the next state legislature.
1t has transpired that Hanson owes
his nomination directly to the influence
welded by the Hon. Knute Nelson and
the strong contingent Of federal office
holders who owe their places to him.
Before the state convention assembled
King Knute issued his ukase that Han
son must be nominated for secretary of
state. IN his most dictatoriaI manner
the imperious senator announced that no
Norwegian was eligible for the place.
Langum and Lomen were not accepta BE
to King Knute, who would have no Nor
wegian on the ticket. 1t must be a
Swede, so that the reign of the little
tyrant Of Alexandria and the succession
of his dynasty might not be endangered:
and the royal favor fell upon Hanson, of
Litchf1eld, upon whose feeble shoulders
has fallen the burden Of offsetting the
popularity of John lid among the yot-
ers of Swedish birth or descent.
The senator set his federal officeholders
to work, and the result was the defeat
of the two Norwegian candidates. Ian
gum, of Fillmore county, and Lomen, of
Norman with whom fell Molander and
Nordin, two candidates of Swedish ex
traction, each the superior in fitness and
ability Of the nominee.
1t is noteworthy also that among the
federal officeholders who owe their ap-
pointments to Senator Knute Nelson, and
do his bidding at conventions and other
places and times there Is no one of Nor
wegian birth or descent. Not one. The
king, apparently, cannot and will not
risk advancing a fellow Norwegian lest
he should grow too great and endanger
the rule of good King Knute. He can
not bear a Norwegian near his throne.
He knows they will obey orders and rally
to his standard pie or no pie, and so
he feels that he can bestow his favors
On others with impunity, and without

BOTHA'S OPERATIONS In TRANSYAAL
They Are More Annoying Than Damaging to the
British Troops

LONDON, July 2.-The Times Pretoria
correspondent says that Gen. Colville has
been ordered home.
Gen. Botha is showing great activity.
His patrols cover wide stretches of coun-
try approaching near the British outposts
and engage in shirmishes, while larger
bodies threaten to attack, declining to
allow themselves to be caught by the
return blows which the British promptly
seek to deliver. Attacks of this sort
were made on Friday last at Pinars'
Poort on Gen. PolesCarew, and at
Springs Gems. Botha ard Dewet are
seemingly operating in combination.
Botha is reported to have divided his
force into two parts, one moving west
and the other to the south, to try and
effect a juncture with Dewet. Boer Cir
