A SPLENDID TRIBUTE.

Speaking of Senator G. K. Davis who
is now making desperate battle with
disease at his home in st. Paul, the
Chicago Inter Ocean pays him the fol-
owing deserved tribute, which shows
how he is regarded through the coun-
try:
"Cushman K. Davis was governor of
Minnesota twenty-five years ago. He
has been member of the United
States senate since 1887, but only with
in the last four years have the people
recognized the fact that Minnesota is
represented at Washington by man
who stands in history on lire with
Seward. Chase, Blaine and Conkling.
1.-THE great crises of our civil war
and the adjustment of conditions after
the war brought to the front men like
Lincoln, Seward, Stanton and Sher-
man, who, through peculiar fitness or
extraordinary courage, or prescience
az to conditions, were able to grapple
and handle problems that might have
puzzled the craftsmanship of the
world.
In our latest crisis, when strong,
courageous, intelligent, and patriotic
men were needed, Cushman K. Davis
stood in the front rank and stood there
for weeks and almost alone. His mas
terry of the problems of statescraft, his
study convictions; his courage in de-
Tending the right, is strength in de-
bate, his high quality as negotiator
and diplomat, contribute to make him
not only leader in his party but
conspicuous American, trusted by all
parties. -

objection to q recount if Gov. Lind
and his friends desire it, though they
firmly believe that it will not change
the result. A great deal is said by
some fusionists of the ballots that
were marked for both Lind and Lucas,
Social Democrat, and they seem to labor
under the impression that some way
or other they are going to benefit from
these in recount. But in this they
will be disappointed, for such ballots
cannot be counted There is much
wild talk about the number of these
ballots, so marked, running into the
thousands. Perhaps they do, but as
yet there is no means of knowing just
how many there are of them. 1t is prob
able however, that they will not count
up as high as some of the disappointed
followers of Lind now profess to be-
lieve
One thing has been demonstrated by
the result, however, and that is that
no party with hyphenated name. one
part of it being the same as that of a
regular or older party, should be al
lowed on an official ballot. 1t is liable
to be confusing and cause some voters
to lose their vote by marking both the
regular and the hyphenated name.
The legislature at it's coming session
should take steps which will prevent
its recurrence.

CHARTER MAKING

If anything is going to be done in
Mankato in regard to framing new
charter, some move ought to be made
at once. The city ought to have new
charter, and it would seem that with
the experience of the last commission
at hand, one ought to be named that
would succeed in framing such a char
ter as the city needs, and such as would
be acceptable to the voters thereof.
Certain it is that several changes
ought to be made in the present char
ter, if new one is not secured, and if
it is thought that it might be impos-
sible to get an entirely new charter
adopted by the vote of the people, then
a move ought to be made to secure the
adoption of several important amend
ments to the present charter. Take the
matter of special assessments for in
stance, there ought to be some
method that would ensure their col
lection after the Improvement has been
made and the property benefited by
it. If the tax was made returnable to
the county auditor, to be included in
the regular state, county and city tax,
after certain time had elapsed, and
to be collected through the county as
any other delinquent tax is collected,
much trouble and expense would be
saYed the city. The time to elapse
could be SO arranged that the parties
paying assessments could make pay
ments on same to suit their convenience.
There are also other changes that
ought to be made, in order to make the
charter more Ineligible, and prevent
disputes and misunderstanding
which are now likely to arise at any
time. Would it not be good time for
the city council to make move, or if
it does not, for our business men to

The Winona business men have de-
cided to hold street fair again next
year. AT meeting held a few eve
min gs ago they so decided, and held
that the city received more advertising
from that source than could be received
In any other way. At the same meet
ing the question of improving roads
leading into the city received their at
tention. This is a question pertinent
to any town, and it is especially so to
Mankato. While our city needs a
great shaking up in respect to the
streets within its borders, our business
men ought to take some steps looking
to the permanent improvement of roads
leading into the city. Good roads
means better trade. If within the next
five years Mankato could bring ABOUT
the permanent improvement of several
of the leading roads going out of the
city, it would be one of the best
investments ever made. We have in
our midst the material for the best
roads in the country, and movement
of the right kind would lead to the
using of the same in a permanent
way. The question is one that should
meet with the serious consideration of
our business men.

SENATOR DAVIS.

Senator Davis is indeed national
man, and the solicitude that is felt for
his recovery has been most generously
manifested by the American people
during his severe illness. That the
end is near seems to admit OF no
further doubt and it is a most painful
thought to harbor even for moment.
The affairs of this country need the
helpful and masterful mind of our
noble senator to aid in their settlement
and adjustment.
1t is not saying too much to assert
that of all men in national affairs his
study of international questions, COM
bined with his splendid legal attain
ments and the position he holds as the
head of the Foreign Relations COM
mittee of the senate, make him the
most prominent leader and needful ad-
wiser at this time. No one appreciates
these facts more than the men upon
whose shoulders the burden of respon-
sibility rests-the congress of the
United States. In great measure the
intricate subjects growing out of our
war with Spain have been entrusted to
Senator Davis by his colleagues in the
senate. His wonderful ability to
grasp and deal successfully with them
have inspired President Mckinley,
and caused him to in many instances to
call the senator to the White House in
an advisory capacity. In word,
Senator Davis stands today, next to
President Mckinley, the most import
ant figure in national administrative
affairs.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that the
prayers of a nation are hourly ascend
ing on high pleading for the preserva-
tion of life so prescious and of a
mind so masterful. 1t is graceful
tribute of the affections of his country
men that kilograms and letters are
poured in upon him expressive of the
hope that he may speedily recover his
accustomed vigor, and sympathy over
his affection.
The Free Press, in common with all
our people, has kept close watch of all
reports coming from the bedside of the
patient 1t finds that the senator is
growing worse. and it fails to dis
cover, from the nature of the malady
where there can be much hope held
out for recovery unless, by the interposi-
ton of a kind Providence, something
like miracle is performed. The sena-
tor is making a fight for life that gives
his family and friends hope. Let us
pray that he may yet conquer and be
restored to health.

Z. In the enforcement of the Sunday
law at West Superior, Wis, the bust
ness men are adopting novel way of
getting around it. They are becom-
ing Seventh Day Adventists. The rul-
ing of the authorities has been that
where man conscentiously observes
Saturday as day of rest and closes up
his shop he cannot be mulced for
keeping open on Sunday. In some
lines of business there, Sunday is
much more profitable day than Sat
urday, and those in that line have
changed their faith temporarily and
are observing Saturday as day of
rest. In other instances partners di-
vide up, one becomes an Adventist
and observes Saturday, while his part
ner runs the business, while he runs
it on Sunday, while his partner keeps
the Sabbath, This kind of work may
lead to a different ruling by the
authorities as to a day of rest

LET EVERYTHING BE STRAIGHT.

Speaking of Van SAINTS small plur-
ality, and the desire of Gov. Lind s
officeholders to have the election con-
tested, and recount made, the Alex
andria Post-News says:
sit is narrow margin in SO large
vote but there is not one chance in
ten thousand of recount materially
changing this plurality. Judges of
election in Minnesota are honest and
any carelessness or mistakes of judg-
ment viii result as much to the bene-
fit of one party as to the other One
thing recount is expected to show,
however, is that enough persons
voted for both Lind, the Peoples
Democrat, and Mr.. Lucas, the Social
Democrat, to have elected Mr.. Lind
had they voted for him alone In
other words theDemocrats believe their
party lost more votes through ignor-
ance, than the Republicans did. This
is possible But whatever the result,
everyone will welcome recount since
the result has been questioned. No
good citizen in an election wants other
than the honestly expressed win of the
voters That is what elections are
for.
II is to the credit of Republicans
everywhere that they are offering no

tainted by suppression of the negro
vote. The South did not go to Bryan
because he was its choice, but because
of the tendencies growing out of the
civil war, which have kept it Demo-
cratic for the past quarter of century
and more. There ought to be lesson
in the result to Bryan and his leading
associates, but there does not seem to
be. Where there was an open con-
test, and fair vote and honest count,
Bryan received only 10 votes out of
300 and plurality of the popular
vote in these states of about 90, 900,
against nearly one and a half
million plurality for William McKin-
ley. The wreck he has caused to his
party exceeds anything in past
history.

visors Senator Nelson has made a
thorough study of the subject and is
said to be the best posted man in pub

and because of this, Washington Cos

opportunity of becoming the first
secretary of the new department when
established. ALI this latter may pos

MISS ANTHONY'S ARGUMENT
It Fell Like Bomb Amidst Her Male
Antagonists and Settled Them.

Miss Susan B Anthony; the vet
eran woman suffragist, has always
had lively. wit, and there is more
than one example in her recent life,
by Mrs. Ina Hustled Harper, of her
nimble use of it in the behalf of her
sex, says Youth Companion.
During her experience as school
teacher Miss Anthony got her first
practical insight into society injus
tice to woman as worker. Repeat
eddy she would take school, which a
male teacher had been obliged to give
up because of inefficiency, and, al
though she made thorough success,
would receive only one-fourth of his
salary.
Her first opportunity of calling at
tention to the injury done the teaching
profession by sighting its women
members came during the state con-
vention in 1863 Two thirds of the
teachers in attendance were women,
but not one of them spoke, nor was
their presence recognized in any way
by the men.
Toward the close of the second day
the question under discussion was
"Why the profession of teacher was
not as mnch respected as that of doc
tor, lawyer or minister
Miss Anthony, having listened for
some time, rose, but only succeeded in
gaining hearing after half an hours
heated debate as to whether she
should be permitted to address the
meeting. She had remained standing,
fearing to lose her chance, with her
heart beating tattoo, and permission
being granted, she said:
1T seems to me you fail to compre-
bend the cause Of the disrespect of
which you complain. Do you not see
that so long as society says that
woman has not brains enough to be a
doctor, lawyer or minister, but has
plenty to be teacher, every man of
you who condescends to teach tacitly
admits before Israel and the sun that
he had no more brains than womanf"
AS may be imagined, this little
bomb was disconcerning to men and
women alike.

Elsewhere this week we repro
duce an editorial from the Macon,
Ga, Telegraph, which indicates the
feeling that is growing in the South
politically. Populism and Organism
are alike distasteful to the South,
while it is now beginning to recognize
the danger that is coming to it by
longer maintaining the political con-
ditions which have held since the
early seventies. Politically the South
is deteriorating, and the Telegraph
discovers it and sounds note of
alarm. Tt cannot be otherwise The
lack of control has caused a sort of dry
rot there politically, SO to speak. The
time has come for the South to act,
and it is doubtless the conditions
there, revealed by the recent election.
and the prosperity it has enjoyed dur
ing the past three years, which has led
President Mckinley to take the stand
he is reported to have assumed against
cutting down the representation of
those states which have disfranchised
the negro, but instead attempt to, and
encourage the building up of another
political party in the Southern states
There are those who believe the time
is ripe for such action, and that sew
eral of the Southern states can be won
over by 1904 It is doubtful even with
present conditions industrially and poll
tically in the South, that even with the
greatest diplomacy any of the Southern
states can be won over in that time.
What they regard as the "black peril
is not yet remote enough, even with
the steps they have taken, to prevent
it, to allow of this Still the time for
a political revolution there may be at
hand. When Maryland and West Vir-
gina broke away in 1896, and followed
it up this year, it was surprise to
people generally, and the right kind of
handling may produce some wonderful
results in the South within the next
four years.

And now while some of the leading
Organizes are at work on scheme to
consolidate the fusion forces into one
party under the name of DEMOCRACY,
and the silver Republicans, so-called,
that is what there are left of them, are
ready to step in, the Populists are be-
ginning to talk that they made mis-
take in accepting fusion, and that they
should hereafter go it alone. And as
this goes on, no doubt Ig. Donnelly
leans back and smiles. Reor ganiza-
ton of the Organized forces may not
be such an easy job to undertake.

Gov. Thomas has ordered that those
guilty of lynching the negro BOY, Pres
tonP Porter, inColorado, be prosecuted. The
prosecution ought to commence with the
governor. He is primarily guilty. in
that he took no steps to prevent the re-
moval ofPorter to the scene of the second
crime. though he knew such removal
was to be made, and that it meant
sure death to Porter as the mob was
prepared to meet him. The governor
never lifted his finger to protect Porter
nor maintain the reign of law in the
state.

1t is said the Northern Pacific rail
way is going to dismiss all of the lady
stenographers in its employ, and will
hereafter employ men only. The rea-
son given is that young men holding
such places will be directly in line for
promotion. The young ladies make
the most satisfactory stenograhpers,
but it is said the general knowledge
that young men receive in taking die
tation from their superiors, better
qualities them for higher positions, pro
vided they have the ability and educa-
ton, than can be obtained in any other
manner. Hence the proposed change.
