Berger's Band.

Time passed The band played on 1t
time, 1t played a march, 1t produced the
grand selections. More people came.
There were those who had come to see
others say goodbye TO others. There
We're those who had come to say good
bye and there were those who had come
to go.
And now the departing ones are filing
aboard the Australia on the gangway,
together with many who go aboard with
them for heart-to-heart talks before the
steamer goes. 1t Is a glad scene and a
sad one, too. Laughter and tears inter-
mingle and many a weeping heart hides
in the breasts of those who try to make
their faces smile farewells of comfort
Everybody Is on the scene now; it Is
almost time for the steamer to depart

"Isn't Papa Coming"

Here's bustling business man, his
wife and children are going to the Coast
just for a trip. He bids his good wife
ones. Isn't papa going too?" they cry
as he leaves the ship. Papa has to stay
in town to earn bread and clothes for the
wife and little ones. The child-mind
doesn't grasp the reason. and the result
is-tears.
What glorious sight! 1t seems that
the whole ships side Is one mass of flow

Love Words on His Back.

All! Here's a time to laugh. Yet do
it gently, for there is something of sad
ness in it, too. devoted wife, whose
husband is aboard, wants to get a last
word of parting to her beloved. She
seeks a piece of paper. She gets it; also
a pencil. On what shall she write? A
big man-friend, in white duck suit
comes to the rescue; he stands in front
of her and she uses his broad back as
a writng-desk. The second whistle
blows. The band plays aloha De-" She
is afraid she will be too late and looks
around to see If the boat Is leaving
Meanwhile, in her confusion, she goes or
writing, but not on the paper; she writes
the closing lines of her love-letter on the

her mistake and hurries away, blushing
to get the note aboard. The gentleman
walks around unconscious of the fac,
that his back is written Forever

of national extinction hanging over them
than if understood that by the fact
OF their declaring in favor of annexa-
ton they would thereby become invested
with all the rights, privileges and i'm
munities of American citizenship.
Judge Estee may be right in his under
standing of American constitutional law,
the country will not accept any such
doctrine until it has received it from
as we'll as of international law, but
the highest judicial source in the land.
And even if the United States supreme
court should determine that that doctrine
is right under the laws and constitution
of the United States, it still remains
the prerogative of the people of the
United States TO do with refer
ence to such a decision as they
did regarding the Dredd Scott
decision-repudiate it. 1t appears on
its face to embody principle Of ma
tional conduct that no man American.
no matter how profoundly he believes in
expansion, ought to be willing to see
incorporated in the political philosophy
underlying the institutions of this coun-
try.

SENATOR DAVIS, ILLNESS.

regardless Of party political division,
the people of st. Paul, and, indeed, of the
entire state, are deeply concerned in the
health of Senator Davis. The aIarmist
reports which have been given currency
to may have little or no foundation: but
the health of the senior senator from
this state is known to have been poor
for some months past And the people
accordingly entertain feelings Ct the
gravest concern and of the most cordial
hopefulness regarding his future health.
A long lifetime of the highest form
Of public usefulness is surely not des-
tined to be brought to an end at this
time, as Senator Davis stands on the
threshold of the realization Of the high
est honors possible in American political
life. The people of the United States
have only learned to know Senator Da-
Wis within the past two years or so. The
events of the spanish-American war
brought him into general attention and
enabled the entire nation to discover
in him type of the most exalted form
of craftsmanship which has been reveal
ed in the political history of the coun-
try.
The discovery is bound to bring its re-
ward as time progresses. Minnesota has
always known the splendid merits of it's
premier statesman. 1t has rendered to
him in succession every post in the pub
lie service to which it calls the best
brain and the best heart of its people
1t will delight to honor him till he with
draws from concern in public affairs. no
matter how long or how short a period of
time may elapse before such a regrettabIe
event occurs. 1t cannot afford to lose
him at this time when he is in the very
prime of his grand intellectually. His
people love him too well for the admir-
able personal qualities they know him
to possess to regard his illness with
other than feelings of the most intense
sorrow. They look for his speedy recov-
cry and they regret deeply that he
should find himself i'll.

ORIGIN OF ELECTION DAY.

very few persons know how Tuesday,
after the first Monday in November
came to be designated as the day for
holding the presidential election. The
Chicago Tribune in an article upon tie
subject says it was a question taken up in
1882 when congress passed an act providing
that presidential electors should pc ap-
pointed within thirty-four days before
the first Wednesday in December" This
left each state free to select a day to
suit itself within those limits. Penn
sylvanfa chose electors on the lasI FRI
day in October Other states elected
theirs on different days between the be-
ginning and middle OF Novemhe"
When Harrison was elected in $40
the Democrats asseIt led that mis- success
was due partly to fraudulent voting
which was made posi- Die by the lack of
a definite election daY. II was alleged
that Kentucky and Ohio Wings lad
voted in both states, the election being
held on different days. So in 1S45 the
Democrats passed the law now on the
statute books making the frs. Tuesday
after the first Monday election day.
At that time but five of the twenty six
states had their elections in November.
In Michigan and Mississippi voting was
carried on through two days the first
Monday and the following Tuesday.
New York had three election days-the
first Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day-but had finally confined voting to
the middle day, or the first Tuesday
after the first Monday. Massachusc is
day in November and Delaware on the
second Tuesday. So congress selected
the first Tuesday after TOE first Mon
day to consult the convenience of three
states out of five, one Of The three be-
ing the important state of New York.

TUESDAY, NOV. c. 1900.
A DANGEROUS DOCTRINE.

The abstract of the decision of Judge
Estee, of the United States district court.
reversing the decision of the supreme
court of Hawaii, is not sufficiently intel
Iigent or Ineligible to enable the ordi-
nary student of the question to compre-
bend fully the grounds on which the
action of the district court rests in dis
charging the prisoner whose liberty
was involved.
The fact that a. judge of the district
court has reached such 8 conclusion is of
itself an important event. 1t will at
least facilitate the taking of an appeal
to the supreme court and advance to
speedy settlement the great question in
volved.
The judge said that Hawaii. before
being annexed, was a free, enlightened
state. possessing all the attributes Of
sovereignty, and when with their con-
sent, the islands were annexed by the
United States, not only the lands, but
the people, with their laws and customs,
were annexed; and by the wei establish
ed law of nations these laws and customs
remained in force until new laws were
enacted for the government Of the ter
ritorY."
The law of nations is apparently on
which Judge Estee rests his decision. Ac-
cording to the language quoted, the an
nexation of the islands to the United
States did not operate to change in any
manner the legal status of the country
or its people. 1t may have robbed them
of the character which Judge Estee says
they possessed before being absorbed
in the United States of "a free, enlight-
ened state, possessing all the attributes
of sovereignty but it evidently did not
substitute any national status whatever
in the place of the former sovereignty
This may be good international law;
but it represents the most wretched de-
scrfption of international and national
ethics 1t means, if it means anything
that people may be totally deprived
Of their national sovereignty, in a word,
OF their freedom with or without their
consent, in manner other than by act
OF war, and be left national derelict,
until such time as the natien with which
their future destinies are to be linked
shall see fit to define their status by the
enactment of laws.
If we are about to enter upon a colonial
policy, 1t is quite as we'll for our success
in the new undertaking that such a doc
trine as This appears to be shall be speed
lily disowned by the people of the Unit
ed States. If we are about to invite
other peoples on this continent or else
where to seek annexa ton to the United
States, we must, if we hope to have
our invitation respected, withdraw this
doctrine, and that speedily. The Cuban
people are about to determine their fu-
ture national state through the agency
Of a constitutional convention. How
much less likely it is that that people
would decree that their future lies in
the direction of an integral part of the
great American union with this threat

Judge Htne Agrees With an Edi-

Judge Hine Agrees with an Edi-
toriaI in the Globe.
To the Editor of the Globe:
have read with interest your editorial
in the issue of your paper of this
date in reference to petty crime, and it
is with pleasure that [ heartily indorse
the sentiments there expressed. 1 have
frequently advocated the adoption of
some course of procedure other than
repeated wOrkhouse sentences, so far
as such offenses were concerned, as only
entailed misery and degradation upon
the individual himself I am in favor of
Workhouse sentences so far as offenses
are concerned which involve violation
of the rights of the general public, but
SO far as the first class of Offenses is
concerned. workhouse sentences accom-
plish nothing, and [ have many times
endeavored to interest persons to take
up and press to results some proposition
or method other than that now in force.
l am afraid, however, that what efforts
1 have put forth have so far accom-
plished very little. The principal one of
these offenses is drunkenness. The ap-
pearance and temperance before the
municipal court of men and women,
both young and old, cursed with an ir-
resistible appetite for liquor which caus-
es them to lose all sense of respect or
consideration for themselves, their fami-
lies, their appearance or their surround
ings, can bring but one conclusion to
person at all interested in the work
of the criminal court, and that is that
there is nothing to be gained by re-
peated prosecutions of such offenders.
Also in the Offense Of vagrancy and 9TH
ers that could be named workhouse
sentences are of no greater effect All
of these offenses are oGfenses that the
individual commits against himself, and
as rule do not involve any violation
of the rights of the public, and it does
seem to me that some method of treat
ment should be devised other than that
now i'll force of protecting the individual
from his own indiscretions. 1 believe all
persons should take some interest in
these. matters and for the general wei
fare and good of society lend their aid
to improve the condition of others and
bring them to a higher plane of social
usefulness. [ do not include in this cat
egory such offenses as larceny assault,
dIsorderly conduct, and the like, which
involve disregard of the public The
present method of disposition is effect
i've so lar as that class of offenses is
concerned. 1 can only hope that your
paper may accomplish some good in the
line suggested by your editorial, and you
may be assured that any efforts you
