THE Hay CALAMITY

The details given in the public press Of
the appearance of Secretary Hay at the
scene of the fatal accident which put an
end to his sons life are at once pain
full and pathetic.
1t is terrible affection which has
been brought on the distinguished gen.
tleman who at present pfes.des over the
foreign relations of the United States.
It came, too, with awful suddenness, and
it brings to an end many a. fond dream
which the devoted father may have in
dulged himself in of the future useful
ness in public and private rank of the
young man whose life was brought to
so untimely an ending.
All differences of opinion disappear in
the presence of the calamity which has
befallen Mr. Hay. His own grand at
tainments. and his splendid services to
his country and, indeed, to humanity
ITSELF in the domains of literature and
craftsmanship, create a degree of feel
ing Of personal attachment to him
greater than can ever find expression
through the customary public channels.
He had the amplest reason to base high
hopes Of his sons career by reason of
his achievements within the brief space
that had elapsed after his leaving col
lege, and his countrymen of every rank
and station. even to the remotest section
of the United States, as well as
thousands of the natives of other lands,
will on this sad occasion entertain
deep sense of sorrow for him in his
trouble which can never hope to find ex-
preston.
How transitory are human hopes and
how uncertain even those things which
seem placed beyond all uncertainty every
mature man and woman has had ample
reason to learn some time or other in
life. Let us hope that the sad demons
tration of the frail hold we have of the
things we value which has come to Mr..
Hay will have found some measure of
preparation by reason of the recognized
wisdom of the man.

LET THE COUNCIL ACT.

The people of st. Paul Will be offered
the amplest opportunity to sustain the
founder of their free public baths in his
efforts to save them from destruction.
The public meeting which DR.. Ohage has
called for tomorrow evening on the West
side ought to be attended by every man
and woman living in the Sixth ward who
Is unwilling that valuable public priv
ileges shall be given away without COM
pensation or that a beneicient public in
stitution shall be destroyed to promote
the ends of a few individuals.
Judge Kelly is clearly mistaken in MANY
of the alleged facts which he recites in
the memorandum accompanying his ie-
cisicn. If the newspaper reports of that
| decision are correct the court is about to
confer on a single railroad company a
| monopoly Of the use of the West side
river front. If those reports be correct
| the Omaha road will be able to block any
other road trying to pass under the
| bridge. 1t would give the exclusive right
to that corporation to use the north
thirty feet, and leave the remaining thir-
| ty-four feet for general public traffic. So
that unless this latter margin were fur
Their encroached on for railroad purposes
the Omaha would perforce be in posses
sion of absolute and exclusive control.
No other railroad could be allowed tc
condemn property along the Omaha route
longitudinally. This, Of course, is know

far as feasible the state for the indi-
viduaI; if private enterprise is to be
forced to surrender to state intervention

if the constitutional requirements which

either in the interest of the trust or of
the state, it is right that only the men
who believe in such principles and pol
icy shall enlist themselves in such a
movement
This no Democrat who understands
the principles of his party can engage
in without surrendering the control of
his party and his own political convic-
lions, to those who. do not agree with
him.
The new political Organization may have
a great future of success before it. It may
in time embody the mass of those who
are arrayed against the tendencies of
Imperialism; but it can never include in
It's membership a single man who I'M
derstands the principles enunciated by
Thomas Jefferson. and who maintains
his faith in those principles. That Kan
sas Democrat who refused to sanction
all further alliance of his party with
the Populists sets an example which we
believe will be followed generally
throughout the country in the next few
n onths by all true Democrats.

chase the right. The law provides that
the county commissioners and county au-
dltOr must confirm the truth of the
statement made in such an application
and must not sell the property for less
than the taxes unless the taxes amount
TO more than the value of the property.
II appears that the tax committee Of the
beard of county commissioners signed
the application, but did not date it, for
the purchase, attesting that the property
was not worth more than $500 The
county auditor, through his deputy, also
signed it, While it appears that this
property was then being sold for $1,000
Ihat this was not placed on the record
OF the board, and there is 10 evidence
Jhat 1t was ever presented to the board
for action The county auditor is clerk
Of the board, and as such mas these mat
ters in charge. Tt appears that this was
signed by the state auditor. Gustav Will
Illus was then entitled to a deed from the
state, upon payment Of the amount Of
his bill. The county auditor then made
out a statement Of delinquent taxes for
S5UO03 upon the same property, but failed
to write across the face absolute sale ,
This was paid by Burns fer Savard. That
the county has lost S717.23 by this transac-
ton.
''It appears that there is gross care
lessness in the management OF the Office
OF county auditor, resulting in the loss
of revenue and great danger Of further
loss both to the county and to individual
payers in danger of losing their property
eve recommend that the legal DEPART
ment proceed to recover the sum of
$717.23 and interest, the amount of which
the county was deprived through the
failure of the proper parties to comply
with the law.
RECOMMEND DRASTIC ACTION.
I'VE also recommend that the proper
Authorities investigate the foregoing
charges, and, if sustained, impeach or
remove from Office w. r. Johnson and

ance, or both.

given the United states commercial
precedence and possible supremacy in
the. markets of the world, a subsidy to
exclusively American ships is an obvious
correlant. They say there seems to be
manufactured products coming to us
from foreign countries. and then turn
around and not only admit foreign built
ships free, but pay them certain sum
out of the treasury besides.

by the well-to-do, namely, upon sugar.
The surest and easiest method CT col
lecting this tax is at the factory, and
the manufacturer passes it on to the
consumer. But sugar for export is not
thus taxed, because it is not an article
of home consumption and not a proper
article of internal taxation. An export
tax would simply shut Russian sugar out
which Russia does not propose to bring
about, Notwithstanding the determina-
ton of the American sugar trust, as ex-
pressed in the forced rulings of the gov
ernment treasury department at Wash
ington.
Examination of the facts in the case
shows how thin is the pretext of Secre-
tary Gage in his recent letter of explana-
ton to Russia Simply the automatic
action of the Dingley tariff law" says
Gage in his attempt to excuse himself
from the effects of his own arbitrary
rulings. If the Dingley law is auto
matte Gage is an automaton, and both
are worked by the sugar trust in stirring
up foreign tariff wars to the destruction
of American commerce.
Russia cid not begin this tariff war;
she simply placed Russian export sugar
upon the same tax-free basis as Amer
lean export sugar. The crime of this
Dingley act and upon Gage, the auto
ton. or, upon the administration which
owns and runs them both.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-06-25

The administration papers all say that
Russia is wrong in her opposition to the
policy of tariff advance inaugurated by
Secretary Gage. OF course, Russia IS
wrong. The minister of finance, De
WHITE, declares that Russia does not pay
bounty on sugar, but he does not know
what he is talking about. OF course,
Russia pays a bounty on sugar if Gage
says so. Even If twice the countervail-
ing duty had been placed on Russian
sugar, Russia would have had no right
to raise the duty on American products
This policy of keeping out foreign prod
ucts is all wrong. except when we do it
ourselves, Russia should be disciplined
