PEACE ARRAN 5ED AT TIENTsIN.

Troops on Both Sides of the Disputed
Ground Are Withdrawn.
Pekin, March 23.-The troops on
both sides of the disputed land at
Tientsin have been withdrawn and al
danger of fracas is ended. The op n
ion of the British is that the prompt
ness of General Barrow in calling IN
the marines from Taku prevented a
collision. The British report that
prior to the arrival of the marines SEN
tries were supplied from the Madras
pioneers, who for several days were
surrounded by crowds of foreign sol
diers, mostly French, who assailed
them with all kinds of abuse, calling
them coolies" The Madrassees were
becoming restless when the marines
arrived at night and quietly relieved
them, and it was only when daylight
appeared that the Russians discovered
the change.

with article 10 of the peace. conditions

The Schley verdict to be is now occu-

editor deems it his duty to take shy
at the probable outcome, and incidentally
give the author of the trouble kick
and Admiral Schley the glad hand. The
Pipestone Star, a bright sheet withal, hits
the tack and drives it, thusly:
The question of Schley's Judgment as
a commander, however, has always been
OF very secondary interest to the pubic
What the masses have been concerned
with is the question of his courage, and
on this point the court has been more
definite 1t is the idea that Schley dis
played personal scowardiee in the Santi-
ago campaign, as boldly aleged py the
historian Maclay, and others OF his type
that the public has long combatted with
SO much indignant energy, and the peo-
pies position on this point has been fully
substantiated. They have looked upon
him as a personal hero, and nero he
has been proven to be, to the satisfaction
of his friends and the more fair minded
of his enemies.

There is nothing to be gained for the
Democratic party at this time by its
members indulging themselves in mutual
elimination. There is, on the other hand,
much to lose. T h G 10 b is trying its
utmost to aid in closing up the ranks OF
the party so as to withstand the danger
to constitutional liberty which is involved
in the present tendencies and purposes of
Republican imperialism. 1t takes but
little account of individuals in its efforts
But it will act in humble cooperation
with Mr.. Bryan, as it will with all other
leading representatives of Democracy, in
choosing a common ground from which
victorious fight may be made on behalf
of the party. It has fought the party
battles side by side with the editor Of
the Commoner in the past, and it hopes
to do so in the future. 1t extends the
same liberation to honest differences of
opinion which he does; and it has as little
use as he has for those men who, within
OF without the party, prove themselves
false to honor or principle in politics.

THE BROOD AXE DEscEsDs

its esteemed contemporary the Broad Axe.

not a Democratic newspaper, nevertheless
submits nearly a column of remarks on
the record and attitude of T b G | o b e,
especially relating to it's Democracy. T h G
G. | o b hopes that in the future as in
the past, the Broad Axe may be welded
vigorously for the support of Democratic
candidates and platform, and that chips
of wisdom and patriotism may fall plenti
fully as a result if it's being welded.
+ For the most part the article under the
heading, ''The ST. Paul Giob e. is de-

nate facts developed in the history of the

Facts for the Machines.

Here are three allied facts of the cam
paign that are worth thinking about:
Fusion-The fact that the spirit OF polit-
zeal independence has gone so far that
such fusion could be accomplished.
Split TicketstThe fact that the spirit
of political independence has gone so far
that even hide-bound partisans of the
class that hitherto could be reached by
no appeal whatsoever cut and slashed
right and left, careless whether their
votes were counted for anybody, in the
effort to make sure they were not count
ed for Questionable candidates.
The Women-The fact that the women
of all sections of our population took an
active part In the campaign, working with
energy and effect.
Two morals lie upon the surface for
the machines: Tickets good throughout
and an amended ballot law that will ena-
bile voters easily to split their ballots II

ME. BRF4N IND THE G1oBE.

Il h e G o b has repeatedly expressed
its resentment toward two st. Paul al
dernaen who. after having accepted nom
ination and election at the hands of the
Democrats of their wards, proceeded to
give their votes to the election of the
Republican candidate for corporation at
terney Our condemnation is concurrsd
ia by every Democrat in the community.
There was nothing offered, or which
could in decency be offered, in extenua-
tien of such party treachery by those
guilty of 1t or by their friends. 1t was
not only that these men refused to sup
port Mr.. James c. Michael, the Demo-
cratic candidate, conceded a man OF
prime ability and of exceptional deyo-
ton to his party. They simply repu-
dated all party obligation and handed
themselves over to the candidate of those
who had opposed their own election.
Taking our condemnation of these men
as his text, the editor of the Commoner,
Hon. William ]. Bryan, reads h e
Globe a lesson ON boiling and boilers.
1t is not surprising that the editor of
tke Commoner should be under an entire
misconceptions of the facts, since it eau
have ordinarily no such knowledge of st.
Paul municipal affairs as would enable
IL to discuss intelhgently the traitorous
action of Hunt and Bantz. 1t accord
ingiy represents those men as having de-
county commissioner when, as a matter
OF fact, they voted, IN the accomplish
lneat Of their own personal ends for the
Democratic candidate for county COM
missioner, just as they had voted for the
Republican candidate for corporation at
terney in violation of all personal and
party political obligations.
The editor of the Conmoner says:
The Globe is much more severe in
denouncing Democratic aldermen who
refuse to support their party IN q local
fight than the Silver Democrats are IN
conforming papers, which, like I h e
G o b e, deserted the presidential ticket
in Il national contest.
Where does Mr.. Bryan find the analogy
between the two cases. The Clio b e
refused to accept his candidacy for presi-
dent becarse it believed and still believes
that il; certain of the doctrines and poll
cies euunciated by him and by the plat
form on which he stood he was COM
snitted and he committed his party to an
erroneous conception of party creed.
Had Mr. Bryan been elected wita or
without our aid, and had lie proceeded
to bestow the patronage of his cfFice on
those who had fought his election; had
he cast behind him al the obligations he
assumed in his candidacy and rewarded
his Republican enemies and punished his
Democratic friends would there be any
doubt of his meriting the bitteTest de-
nuneiatiop which his supporters could
bestow on him? 7 e Clio b thinks
not Had he so acted he would, on the
larger stage of national activity, occupy
tIle same attitude which those local party
traitors occupy in the political affairs OF
this community.

The st. Cloud Times says that the Re
publlcans will not interfere with trusts.
If the Times editor will keep right
along repeating that statement sufIi-
Gent number of times, he may yet arrive
at a point where he will believe it. not
Withstanding the fact that it is the Re-
publican party that has enacted all the
national legislation on the statute books
against trusts, and has driven the COM
bines to point where nothing more
effective can be done until the federal
constitution is amended. giving congress
further power over them.
The above from the Mankato Free
Press is fair sample of Republican ar
gument. Who had control of the last
congress? Was there anything done by
the Republicans to restrict the power of
the trusts or to take steps to amend the
constitution?
The Grand Forks Herald is inclined 90
be little sarcastic, as the following
clearly evidences:
A great many senator's and representa-
tives have called on the president during
the past few weeks and assurances come
thick and fast from Washington that the
president has greatly modified his views
on the tariff question Naturally every
one VINO mas called likes to think, ana TO
have his friends think that he has been
influential in changing the presidents
mind. but when the facts are made public
it will probably be found that Mr.. Roose-
Welt had some facts upon which to- ase
his opinions before he uttered them. The
man who forms the opinion that the
president of these United States is a
creature of impulse to be shifted by every
wind that blows has another guess COM
ing.
The Red Wing Republican reads the
people a lecture on the general business
situation thusly:
There is a certain theory. tenaciously
held, that commercial panics and bust
mes depression are bound to Tecur at
intervals approximately equal. Looking
over the past we can see that these great
crises came about once in ten years. and
a large number of people are questioning
with some anxiety whether We are not
nearing the date of another era of cataS-
trophies. Partially because ouT. prosper
ity has been so marked, so increasing
and so continued, and party because
of this general notion of the pefiodiclty
of hard times, there is more or less rear
that we are about to experience less
favorable businSs conditions.
