Miss Ella Richards gave her annual
piano recital last evening at Park Con-
gregational church. Miss Richards was
assisted by Mrs. Maud Timer Jones, OF
Minneapolis soprano. A small audience
heard Miss Richards programme last
night but those who were fortunate
enough to be present enjoyed brilliant
entertainment. AS technicist purely
Miss Richards has no rival in ST. Paul.
Convincingly did she demonstrate this
last evening in the Leschetizky "Barcar-
OLA the second Chopin study, the
scherzo and the List number. The
pianist, considering her slight physique,
has surprising power in her fingers and
she has at her command dynamic force
that enables her to work up to and round
out a climax in a manner entirely Sat,s-
flying and artistic. Those numbers that
display Miss Richards brilliant
technique are always the most salts
factory ones on her programme. Not
that the pianist is lacking in interpreta-
tive powers All her interpretations ara
dignified and worthy of analysis, but
stin their limitations are sharply defined
and for this reason the Mcdowell "Idyl
in G. was rather disappointing last
evening" The pianist missed the atmos-
phere that gives the necessary tone to
this most subtle 'tsunset picture" The
first Chopin study was more satisfactory,
but the pianist reached her greatest
height in the Leschetizky "Barcarola'
and the Spanish Rhapsody List.

THE YAY TO DO 1T.

President Roosevelt has spoken so that
he could be heard, declaring that he
would keep all politics out of the army,
the navy and the colonies.
So far as the army and the navy are
concerned, TIL e Clio be is willing TO
concede that the strenuous civil service
reformer (before he began to be a cans
Gidate for office really meant it when
he said it. But to believe that he has
any deep and earnest intention of keep
ing politics out of the colonies, is asking
little too much. The method of keep
ing politics out of any branch of the
public service is the one he will in all
of the opposition out the Offices Vita
only officeholders. of his own political
faith in the fat jobs politics will be prac-
| tically eliminated, for there will be mona
of the disturbers there to bring up the
subject
President Roosevelt is in many ways
q typical American, and he doubtless
shares the desire Of large majority Of
| good citizens that the civil service should
be on a merit basis; but he is less
sophisticated than vast majority OF
the people if he thinks for moment that
it can be done even by so energetic an
executive as himself.
And there are many good people who
do not think the civil service would be
rendered above the suspicion of possibil-
| ity of improvement if all places were
given after examination to those VINO
made the best grades in the examIna-
| tions: Something beside mere familiarity
with the books is required by the genius
of our country and form of government.
1t is universally admitted that an oppc-
sition party is the great incentive to nom
est and faithful discharge of duty by all
public servants, even up to the president.
1t keeps alert the keen eye of criticism,
and the fear of exposure, if unfaithfuI-
ness is apparent, serves to keep officehold-
ers in the straight and narrow path.
President Roosevelt will serve his courl-
try well if he keeps politics out of the
army and navy, and no one will find
great fault if he rewards his party

Bz4cKM411IeG IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Nothing that is not infamous seems
possible of emanation from the politics
of Minneapolis. A Republican municipal
administration, stepped itself to the lips
in infamy of all kinds, enlightens the
world successfully as to how pitiably in
famous is the other wing of local Repub
licanism which, from considerations Of
personal rivalry, has been assailing it.
AS a result, local government under the
pretended reformers of the Republican
party in Minneapolis and in Hennepin
county, is proclaimed stencil and a
public disgrace.
Such a system of public filth might well
be expected to evolve just the transaction
only half revealed in the Minneapolis
newspapers, wherein a Tribune reporter
is declared to have accepted hushrmoney
from one of the city detectives, with
the understanding, as alleged by the de-
tective and his official superiors, that the
reporter would suppress what informa-
ton he had secured against the police adj
ministration of COLLISION with criminals

resents unite in declaring that the money

hopes he may. But whether he does or
hot, he must be given credit for render
ing the people of Hennepin county a sub
stantial service, tending to promote de-
eeEey and responsibility in office, when
he exposed the state of things which has

Congress meets next Monday. The
new president will on that day submit
his message. The views and policy OF
the new administration will, The
Glob e believes, be fully and fairly out
lined in that document. The Republican
party will then and there proceed to
make the record on which it must face
the people not only in the coming presi-
Dental election, but in the coming con-
gressional elections.
The Republican party, under the, guild
ing influence of Senator Hanna and his
school of leadership, has succeeded in
syndicating the national government.
Under Mckinley the entire system was
reduced to a scheme of rewards and pun
ishments. Exploitation was as much a
feature Of the administration under him
as it is now of trust organization. Ap-
preparations for all sorts of projects
wholly outside the function of govern
ment reached figures which pass the ca
pacity of the ordinary mind to compass.
Legislation became a game of grab. A
qualified state socialism prevailed. The
political promoter was and still is in ma
tional administration, as he is in in
dustrial expansion, prime agent.
Through the maintenance of the colonies.
of protectionism, of pensions, of sub
sides, in the upbuilding of a huge navy
and in the digging of bitches and the
dredging of waters, the constitutional
scheme of a general government has be-
come transformed into a huge political
oligarchy. There is nothing democratic
whatever about it.
This is the situation which presents it
self to the intelligence of the country
with the opening of congress. CONNER
cialism has run mad in government as
in civil life. Nearly every man has his
price in Washington; and he gets his
price if he is deemed worth it by the
confederacy of corruptionists and com
mercial agents into whose hands the
reins of federal government have fallen.
1t is in this way, and through such chan
nels that the past administration
wrought out the problem of success. and
it is through them alone that the present
administration can retain power and con-
time the dissipation of the peoples
