TuE cInsIAG INFAMY.

About the last official act of the present
council will be its passage, over-the may
or's veto, of the ordinance which gives
to the Manhattan Heat and Light COM
pany the control over many miles of our
public thoroughfares without the receipt
of dollar of public compensation. This
will be a fitting supplement to the bestow-
al by the same body on the same corpora
ton of a public privilege and easement Of
great pecuniary value under such circum-
stances as to show the body that made
the bestowal to be lost to every sense of
official dccency or responsibility
The public should bear these transac-
tions in mind. 1t would have been impos-
sible for them to have been consunnmated

The people in the late election, by the
adoption of the new city charter by de-

possible for them to declare anything
through their votes that they were and
are hostile to the bestowal of public fran

receipt of an equivalent in TIE form Of
a percentage of the gross earnings of such
corporation. The council thought proper
to defy that expression of the public will
and to show its contempt for the action
of Mayor Kiefer by passing the very dan
gerous and unprineipled measure over his
veto. This act it will probably ratffy To-
night by again passing over The mayors

A SENATORIAL BURGLARY.

It may be that the action of the
acting governor of Montana in appoint
ing w A Clark to the vacancy created
by the resignation of that gentleman af-
ter his expulsion from the senate had
been virtually decided on is perfectly
legal. But. If it is, that is all that can
be said to sustain such action. The ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Clark is under all the
circumstances public scandal of the
gravest character. 1t is a challenge to
the public sentiment Of the country; and
is equivalent to a declaration that there
was nothing morally wrong in the action
of Mr.. Clark in purchasing, as the coun-
try Is now agreed he did purchase, his
claim to election in the first instance.
No doubt Mr.. Clark is no better or
worse than many men who today hold
seats in the United States senate, many
of whom would be found voting against
his retention of his seat although they
hold theirs by exactly the same title.
That circumstance merely emphasizes
the need of radical departure from the
methods which now prevail in the seiec-
ton of federal senators. The country
sorely needs an aggressive public senti-
ment which will drive those men from
the places they degrade. If the senate
is not able in any other way to defend
itself against invasion by men as mem
bers who are shown to be morally unfit
to hold a seat in that body many good
citizens will be found ready to give their
sanction even to the dangerous principle
asserted in the case of Roberts by the
house, that the body concerned has the
absolute right. as the judge of the quail
fications of its own members, and with
out regard to the immediate viii of the
constituency involved, to refuse member
ship to any person it thinks proper TO
withhold from it,
1t will be hard to convince any one who
has knowledge of the operations OF poll
tics that the resignation of. Mr. Clark
on the eve Of his expulsion and his sub
sequent appointment by the acting gov
ernor were not parts Of a prearranged
plan. They doubtless were. Even if the
plan IS successful the fact remains that
the appointing power in this case does
not morally represent the people of the
state of Montana, and that the acting
governor knowingly discharged an execu-
tive duty in manner which he knew to
be in direct hostility to the wishes and
opinions of the governor of the state.
whose temporary absence he was able to
take advantage of.

A FLEXIBLE PLATFORM

VI.
Ihe platform adopted at the Minneapo-
lis convention yesterday must be regard
ed as a work of high art. If there is any,
thing which has happened in the rasf fur
years which has in any manner benefi+ad
any number Of Americans, for which that
platform does not claim the credit for the
Republican party, it has ESCAPED every
bodys attention. If there is anv suhtect
OF national interest which enters into the
disputations of national politics on which
that platform fails to square" the
party while revealing the wonderful pos
sibilities of political acrobatics, it is sim
ply subject which for the moment es-
capped the attention of the trainers of the
document.
II politician, however high in the
ranks of his party, should assume +ha
task Of convincing his intelligent neighbor
that all the blessings which had come to
him in his business transactions came
from political party, he would be laugh
ed to scorn for his pains. Yet this won
derful declaration of principles promuI-
gated at Minneapolis yesterday seriously
avows the revival of industry and
prosperity which we have recently wit
messed has been brought about "as dt-
rect result of the application OF Repub-
lican principles and policies during the
present administration"
Not the most thrilling feature of this
platform is It's disposition to appeal to
the laws of gravitation as an immediate
product of Republican partisan wisdom
No The rigid opposition which the G. O.
r. has ever displayed toward all public
evils OF every kind, and the remedies
which 1t proposes to apply to those evils.
which it has not yet had time to remove.

lie countenance, and doubtless never will
until it has decreed itself to be no longer
In existence.
The privilege granted to the Manhattan
concern in connection with the use of our
streets finds no parallel in any right or
privilege extended to any other corpora
ton The franchise for public lighting
which it had before given to that concern
without a dollar of compensation was
given ostensibly to promote competition.
The 'pretext was dishonest one. Its dis
honesty has been made palpable since.
Aside from the fact that the people of this
city had been deceived, for election pur-
poses, by these INSCRIPTIONS politicians,
for many weeks before, by the pretense
that the city itself was about to establish
a lighting plant, the council has since
made plain the truth that the idea of
competition, public or private, never en-
tered into the minds of It's members in
anything they did to- invest the AIanhat-
tan corporation with the invaluable pub
lie privileges which they conferred on it.
The l o b e, in its position of antag-
onism of the outgoing council, could be
and was ignored. It's views on this score
have hardly been worth expression at any
time, since it seemed a fixed principle that
whatever it favored the council would
necessarily oppose, and whatever 1t oppos-
ed the council would naturally favor, on
the score of party expediency. Indeed,
the G 0 b e in thus arrayfng that body
, and it's members has no thought now
save the one of impressing on the people
of the city the evil character of the serv-
ice which they received for two years
from this council. 1t has in that time
done no good, and it has done much mis-
chief. But its record in the matter of
these Manhattan transactions, made COM
plete even at the eleventh hour, is one
which will live In our local history as a
monumental instance of official contempt
for either the welfare or the wishes of
the people whose property it has squan-
dered and whose interests it has basely
betrayed.

constitute the really touching thing about
the Minneapolis Republican platform.
OF course no one needs to be informed,
for instance, that the Republican party
and the existing national administration
are "unalterably opposed to all trusts
and combinations. That would have
gone without saying in that platform or
elsewhere. But the Minneapolis gather
ing seems to have decided that the peo-
pie of Minnesota might not be as fully
enlightened on this score as they should
be; and hence the fond assurance afore-
said.
Now, what remedy is it that these pa
triots in their unalterable frame of mind
propose in their platform for the trusts
and combinations? For one tangible rem
edy, and the only one, is: "An amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States granting full power to congress to
protect the people against the evils
threatened" The evils threatened OF
course, the trust evils are only threaten
ed. Not one of them has ever been real
lied in actual commercial or industrial
life And being only threatened, why we
can ali, of course, await Indefinitely the
adoption of an amendment to the federal
constitution, which will put an end to
them if they ever get beyond the threat
ening stage.
The currency which the Republicans Of
Minnesota express their desire to secure
for the country as the product of an es-
tabiished gold standard, is in one respect
at least decidedly like the platform in
which its desire finds. expression. The
great Characteristic of each is its f1exi-
bilfty. Flexibility is always a valuable
property in political life; and hence no
doubt the intense fiexibility. nay, the sur
prising elasticity which the convictions
of our Republican brethren display when
they are presented to view in all the
nakedness of cold type.

second District Democrats.

Mankato Review.
Isn't it timesfor Democrats of the Sec
ond district to think about candldate
for congress?
This Is presidential year. and as the
Democratic national convention, which
meets on the Fourth of July at Kansas
City, will select candidates for president
and vice president, and a state ticket will
also be nominated by the Democrats, it is
proper that a. candidate for congress
should also be put in the field. Ii the
voters of the Second district are true to
their best interests and the welfare Oh
their state they will not hesitate to
change our congressional policy from the
unjust extortlons Of a burdensome tariff
to that of a purely revenue standard.
That is the real, practical difference be-
tween parties today.
1t is the duty of the Democratic party
to present this matter fully and intelli-
gently to the people of the Second district,
and it should be the mission of the DEM
ocratic congressional candidate TO do So
The necessity. being conceded, the in
quiry naturally arises, who is best able
to perform this duty. 1t needs clear
headed, honest and intelligent gentleman.

is named frequently, and no greater pleas
ure could be conferred upon the Review
than the honor of supporting his candi-
dacy He is young, energetic, a fluent and
convincing speaker, whose heart and soul
is wrapped up in the cause of the people.
He would make campaign of great
vigor and would make the campaign live
ly.
Messrs. A. E. Clark and W. L. Com
stock, both of Mankato, have been sug-
gested Both are young men, able de-
baters, we'll posted in the political history
of the country. Either would make a
campaign creditah,e and beneficial to
their party, and the Review would re-
joice at the naming of either.
llhere may be and undoubtedly are other
worthy Democrats in the district, whose
selection would add strength to the Demo-
cratic cause While We have mentioned
a few, it is not with a view of debating
a choice, and any suggestions as to others
will be cheerfully received and given d
hearing through the Review if desired.
We feel that it is time to discuss the
matter of a Democratic candidate, and
with this view this article is written.

AT THE THEATERs.
MOZART HALL.

The season of German drama and come
dy which opened last night at Mozart
hall is something unusual in St Paul
The Pabst Theater company, of Milwau-
kee, which will give performances on
Wednesday and Sunday evenings fer three
weeks, is the finest German company in
many years to present standard plays in
st. Paul. The company chose ''Mutter-
liebe," a charming drama, for the first
enga cement, and the enthusiastic recep-
ton which it received testified the appre-
citation with which the German-American
citizens of the city greeted the opening
of the season. The company is under
the stage direction Of H2rr Otto Stlampfer
and is high class in every respect.
The drama presented last night is CEN
tered about the love of d mother for a
son about to marry above his station The
scenes are laid in Berlin, and the time is
the present. German citizens are better
able to appreciate the difficulties of such
a union as that proposed BY Rudolph

hands OF Herr Rudolph Horsky the role

Fraulein Betty Won Harden, the leading
lady Fraulein Leona Bergere scored a de-
cided hit. Her stage manner is graceful
and possessed, and in the many trouble
some situations she injected a livelineSs
and sparkle which was very entertaining.
Fraulein Hedwig Beringer, a well known
actress, was cast as Frau Thiele, mother
of the physician, and was one of
the most striking characters of the play
Her facile Interpretation of emotional
scenes was excellent, and her naturalness
and ease commendable. AS Frau Rose

another German actress, scored an instan-
taneous hit.> Her comprehension of the
character was complete, and her beauty
and ease of manner made her general
favorite As Herr Won Harden, Max Ruh-
beck made much of minor role, and as
servant of the Won Hardens. Carl Konig
gave an acceptable touch of comedy. Herr

gentleman of the old school and was pos
sessed of infinite ease and complacency

A GOOD ENDING.

If First Assistant City Attorney Griggs
had not already gone on record through
the public press as treating with con-
tempt the provision of the city charter
which forbids his taking private employ
ment in his profession, the community
would doubtless attach much more i'm
portance to his superior's declaration,
printed in these columns today, that
Mr.. Griggs decided for himself to with
draw from the prosecution Of Mr.. Nc
Cardys contest for the Office of city
comptroller. But, after all, it Is not so
much the manner as the matter Of Mr..
Griggs' withdrawal from that employ
ment In which the public is concerned. He
has withdrawn; that is the thing. For
his withdrawal the G | o b e awards to
Mr. Griggs whatever of credit the facts
show him to be entitled to. To Mr. Mark
ham it expresses its full appreciation Of
his ready recognition OF both the wisdom
and propriety of such action on the part
of Mr.. Griggs, assuring both Mr. Mark
ham and Mr.. Griggs, as well as the gen
eraI public, that it never had any thought
in the transaction save one of insisting
on the recognition by public servant
of the plain provisions of the law Great
ing the office which he holds.
