The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-12-25

To avoid all useless trouble the heroes
of this tale will be known as McManuS
and Williams. The man hid behind the
McManus cloak is an Irishman; the man
disguised as Williams was unfortunate
enough to be born on this side.
McManus and Williams are attorneys.
Once upon time they were close friends.
Now they never speak as they perambu-
late side by side along the pavements.
This tale is an attempt to explain the
ever-Working chilled humidity.
The trouble was born in court room.
A simple individual who believed that
the book on postal laws was an over
locked edition of Joe Mi1ler's funny ones
had dropped several unpleasant missives
into a nearby letter box and the busy
inspectors had ascertained his address.
He was charged with sending the wrong
kind of literature through the mails, and
McManus had been retained to defend
him. Williams was there to see that the
simple individual should learn to appre-
ciate the real worth of the postal laws.
The inspectors had worked up strong
case against the simple individual. They
had secured samples of the illegal mail
matter and the samples were on the table
marked from A to along near the NJ
point in the evidence list. In the coilec-
ton were found books of all colors-red
books, blue books, green books and yell
low books.
When the trial started the two attor-
neys were still friends. They bullied each
ether and then bullied the witnesses, but
it. was all stage play, and at noon they

Il HEADLESs MINoRITY.

The Globe expressed its opinion
before the holding of the Democratic
caucus that the selection of Congress-
man Richardson as the leader of the
Democratic minority in the house would
be unwise. 1t also declared at that time
that the selection of that gentleman as
leader by his colleagues would be final
with it, as it should be with all Demo-
Gratis. The unwisdom of the selection it
is now, if possible, more profoundly
convinced of than it was before the selec-
ton was made. No mere desire to accept
accomplished results will justify further
silence on Mr.. Richardson's unfitness.
1t is an ungracious thing to say, as
well as disagreeable to be forced to say
it, that the Democratic minority in the
national house of representatives, is as
nearly innocuous as any opposition
numerically as large could possibly be. 1t
seems to have no head; it lacks cohesion,
and appears to be absolutely without
IL
at least is the record it presents as the
result of the proceedings in congress up
to the present. There is no prospect that
the record will be materially changed be-
fore congress has adjourned, at least I'M
der existing leadership.
The proceedings in connection with that
wretched political and economic con-
trivance, the Philippine tariff bill, shows
the house minority to little advantage
That body capable of making it's in
fluence seriously felt should begin by
quietly accepting the outrageous restric-
ton placed on the debate offers convinc-
ing indication of lack of capable leader
ship. When the proceedings during the
debate were allowed to be of such an
utterly tame and embarrassing char
acter, it is not surprising to hear Re-
publican congressman declare his convic-
ton, as did Congressman Stevens, of this
district, in these columns, that the Demo-
Gratis in congress did not want the meas
ure beaten.
The Clio b does not look for much
aid or comfort in arousing public senti-
ment from the Democrats in the house.
They have funked on the o-English
canal measure, as well as on the Philip
pine tariff bill. Their leader in the house
has suffered a clear personal defeat in
debate on the floor, and has been made
the silent object of the laughter and
ridicule of the majority. They seem un-
able to realize the splendid opportunities
which are presented to them through the
contemptuous disregard which the presi-
dent is daily showing for the strongest
and Oldest leaders of his party. In a

They were still friends when the after
noon session was raped to order. A few
moments after the rapping the blow fell
McManus had the floor and he introduced
red-covered book as evidence. Will
Jams objected, but after a short debate
waived his objection. Then the green
covered book was presented. Again Will
Jams objected, and again he waived his
objection.
"I'n waive that he announced with a
smile
'You should let me wave this, for I'm
an Irishman,' replied McManus
"All right wave it, retorted Williams
with a smile.
Then the yellow book had a turn. Nc
Manus wished it marked as an exhibit
This time Williams did not announce an
objection.

served.

81 waive that repeated Williams.
do you notice the color of this book?'
asked McManuS.
"Why, yes, I'm not color-blind," snap
ped Williams.
''You insist upon waving this yellow
badge and you claim to be a friend Of
mine. You are not fit to be the friend of
true IrisIman and I'll have nothing
more to do with you. Anyone waving a
yellow flag cannot associate with me-.
The court raped for order and the
trial went on, but McManus had been
insulted and from that day on he posi-
lively refused to recognize his friend
Williams.

THE LONDON DocK cnARGgs.

England Is a free trade country. The
application of that economic principle is
understood to have cost that country
good deal in recent years, and especially
since the competition of this people has
been felt by British manufacturers in
many directions Within few days the
statement appeared in the press that the
English cutlery and other trades were
being demoralized by the inpour of Ger
man products into English markets con-
sequent on the prevailing industrial dis
be little doubt that English industry is
made to suffer seriously by what may be
called the open-deor policy, because of
the doors Of other nations being closed
through the medium of customs tariffs
against her productions
No consideration OF this character ought
to excuse the acts of the London dock
authorities in their treatment of Ameri-
can imports. The complaint just made
Der interests puts the matter in very
tangible form It is, in effect, that Amer
lean lumber is charged with dockage tolls
which are not imposed on the same prod
uts from other lands The principle, it is
complained, is carried SO far that where
as consignnaents of Mexican mahogany,
Skinned f0
ports, are landed free of charge on the
London docks, shipments of the same
merchandise through the port of New
York are landed only subject to dockage
charges, large enough to constitute dis
elimination against the New York ship
ments
This general complaint has been heard
applying to American merchandise gen
orally. OF course the authorities of Eng
lish seaports can impose whatever
charges they please subject to existing
treaties and subject to like treatment of
English products in the ports of other
countries. But when they do impose such
CHARGES lHty ought " Ieel -ColHpelieu "
apply them alike against all nationalities
Certainly we are not entitled to any spe-
cial consideration or favor toward our ex-
ports to England in view of the high
tariff wall which we maintain against
hers; but we certainly are entitled to
equal treatment with other nations, and
congress and the executive should see
that we get it.

this cannot rob popular hero OF popular

To the people Schley will remain the
hero of Santiago, and any minor short
comings will be forgotten and forgiven
Chicago Post.
The prevailing sentiment in favor of

ing of the majority of the eourt.-Council
Bluffs Nonpareil.
But once again the country is to be
congratulated on the fact that Dewey
was in position to uphold the honor of
his country.-Daily Historian.
If the court could not find anything to
punish Schley for it should have acquit-
ted him Of the charges, as the public did
several months ago.-Oregon Statesman.
The majority report of the Schley court
of inquiry finding the gallant hero of San
tiago guilty of eleven counts, is an un-
speakable outrage.-Evening Statesman.
The fact that Admiral Dewey differed
from his associates on some points may
leave the subject open to some extent,
but the decision should virtually close the
matter up.-Idaho Statesman.
He has been indicated on the only
point of vital interest and has been final

THE GHRIsTMAs INFLUENCE.

The popular conception of Christmas is
over the United States the season will be
observed in this way, and there will be
good things TO cat and drink for all
classes of people, for ever the convicted
criminals of the land Tokens of friend
slip and good will.will be exchanged, and
Santa Claus will gladden. the hearts of
the young of the nation. Poverty and
crime will be put away generally today,
if at no other time till the recurrence of
the Christmas season.
We are told that this general display
Of mutual enjoyment and friendliness
should be discourag ed. 1t never will be.
1t will go increasingly, as long as the
people have to give or the means to en-
joy. 1t is well that it should be So. There
may enter the sordid consideration into
of those who receive Christmas presents;
but they are the few and the exceptional
who take this view of the kindly practice
CT giving and exchanging gifts.
There are other features of the Christ
mas festival which do not attract so
much attention. It's religious side is OBJ
served much more generally than most
people are disposed to think. It is the one
day of all others when mems thoughts are
to the subject of higher concern. If
there is any latent good in a man or
woman, however lost he or she may be
to moral or spiritual considerations,
Christmas will bring it out Thoughts
travel toward the home and toward those
who love and are beloved. 1t is the well
fare and happiness of others rather than
of ourselves that fills our souls at Christ
mas season, and selfshness is driven out,
at least, for the time.
Modern society does not set too much
store on the golden rule of human conduct.
Christian ideals of conduct are good
things to talk about and hard things to
put II practice in the affairs of life. Our
Christianity is sometimes at best but a
garment which we put on ard take off
as the need requires. Yet at least on this
one day thera are few of US. however
sordid or selfish, that do not yield. in
some degree to the beautiful impulses

,ys FrrEcr ON MERRIAM.

According to the press reports, he Sc
lection of ex-Gov. Shaw, of Iowa, as the
successor of Secretary Gage will operate
to bring about the withdrawal of Secre-
tary Wilson, who represents the same
state, from the agricultural department..
This result is probable. 1t is far from
likely that two representatives from
the same state, and that state
whose devotion to Republican policies
seems unassailable, will continue to Sit
in the cabinet councils. If Shaw should
be chosen the ultimate withdrawal OF Viii
son is quite likely
There is another result which Mime
sotans. and especially st. Paul folks, will
regard with more of interest, likely TO
arise, from the selection of Mr.. Shaw
as secretary of the treasury. That is
the probable defeat of ex-Gov. Merriam,
of Minnesota, for the position of se@re-
tary of commerce and industry.
It is generally recognized that Merriam

would be made upon him by his former

and industrious and with fine business

to look forward to his appointment, as
his friends did,. The selection of Shaw
will however, in all probability cause
considerations of locality to operate to
Gov. Merriam's disadvantage. Other-
wise it is safe prediction that Roose-
Welt, being personally, apparently, quite
friendly toward the St. Paul man, and

the advisability of sending Merriam 3
