NOT GOVERNED BY PRECEDENT
NOR TRADITION.

Referring to the statement often
made that the precedent followed early
in the days of the republic of elecUing
the vice president to the presidency,
had been broken, the Chicago Inter
Ocean holds that there is no reason to
regard it broken, but simply fallen in
to disuse through-a Discrimination of
parties to establish an invariable rule.
The Inter Ocean calls to notice the
fact that the vice presidency has not
been the retiring from public life of all
the men who occupied that place.
John G.. Calhoun continued in public
life for twenty years after his retire
ment from the position of vice presi-
dent. Colfax was offered the position
of secreatry of state by Grant, after
he had served term as vice president,
but declined the offer. Hamlin was
more conspicuous in public life after
his term as vice president than he was
previous thereto. In the early days of
the republic the vice president was the
most conspicuous man in public life
with the exception of the president.
After candidates came to be chosen by
delegates in national convention. the
choice was often the result of compro
mise and as result man was often
chosen who would not have been con-
sidered by either element for the presi-
dency. In several instances in both
parties the vice presidential candidates
have been selected with the view of
strenthening the ticket in the state In
which he lived and the immediate
states adjoining. But in the nomina-
tion of Roosevelt last year says the
Inter Ocean, no such precedent was
followed. If there was any particular
purpose at all it was, while he is a
resident of the east, to strengthen the
ticket in the west. But the Inter Ocean
thinks it is safe to say that neither
tradition nor precedent will govern his
future as it has not his past career.
'If he lives" it continues, ''he will
be, in 1904, not simply Vice President
Roosevelt, but the most popular Re-
publican in public life, and is likely
to have before him a career as notable
in its way as of Vice President Adams,
Vice President Jefferson, Secretary of
State Monroe, Vice President Calhoun,
or Vice President Hamlin."

WHAT HAS BEEN GAINED.

One is prone to wonder what has
been gained by the powers in their
transactions with China during the
last few months. When they started
out they declared that those in
authority there must be taught les
son, and that there must be guaran-
tee against future outbreaks. If they
had really meant this, then it would
seem that the dowager empress should
have been deposed and removed where
her influence would have no further
effect upon Chinese affairs But moth
ing of this kind has been done. She
still has as firm, if not firmer, grasp
on her power than before the troubles
commenced. Her former generals
simo, Jung Lu, is in favor at the
court; Gen. Tung Flu Hsiang, who
commanded the Chinese troops and
ordered them to attack the foreigners
is scot free; Prince Tuan, the chief
criminal in the Boxer uprising, has
received comparatively light punish
ment and his son is still the heir ap-
parent to the throne All the perils of
last year seem to have been largely
forgotten and the same forces that
brought them about will still be in
evidence, when the international forces
are withdrawn and the Chinese are
fully restored to authority. Why the
powers have been thus derelict in pro-
tecting the world against another such
an outbreak as was being experienced
there year ago, is hard to determine,
unless baked in their desire to dis
member the empire by the stand taken
by the United.States, they have Sc
cretly allowed matters to go by de-
fault, so as to have an excuse, if order
is not preserved, TO carry out their long
desired object. Peace and safety of life
and property of foreigners is hardly as
sured under the circumstances, and ii
may be the European powers desire
this in order to carry out their ambi
tions as to ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

NOTES.
John Barnard of West Mapkato, who
has been through the Civil war and
experienced many of the hardships of
early day life in Blue Earth county,
was able to attend the reunion today.
Mr.. Barnard has been sick for nearly a
year, but with the aid of crutches can
now get around with some difficulty.
Rev. J. W. Powell enjoyed the re-
union today and although 70 years of
age he still feels as young as when he
drove over the barren prairies years
ago preaching the gospel in the small
hamlets of this section.
W. W. Paddock, county commits
sioner in this district, now the oldest
settler in Mankato, was among the
first on the picnic grounds this morn
ing. Mr.. Paddock was not the oldest
member in years present today, but
he can boast of having lived in Man
kato the greatest number of years.
The Territorial Historical society of
Mankato admits members only who
resided here previous to May 18th,
1858. The organization was formed in
1896 and has membership of 129
Mrs. ,Catharine.Cole was probably the
Oldest lady at the reunion today. She
has resided in Mankato since 1853 and
was Sc years old last January. She
resides on North Broad street.
Mrs o. o. Pitcher has been a resi-
dent of Mankato since 1S53-probably
longer than any lady attending the re,
union today.

SHOULD HANDLE IT CAREFULLY.

As stated in the Free Press last eve
ming, the question which will come
before the council this evening to
grant the Milwaukee road the right of
way across certain streets, and pro-
perty which the city owns, to
enable it to go through the city
is a most important one, and
should be given most careful consid-
Grafton. While it is hessdury of the
council to carefully guard and
protect the city's interests, at the same
time it should not seek to impose upon
the road or weigh down the ordinance
with conditions which have not been
demanded from other roads, which
have been given similar rights. The
Milwaukee road is trying to make ar
engagements to extend its Wells line
through to the twin cities and the ad-
yantsges accruing from such a move
TO Mankato, can be easily recognized
by every citizen. The change from a
spur to being on through line is
what our city has always hoped for
and looked forward to since the Wells
branch was built. To the jobbing and
manufacturing interests of the city it
would prove most beneficial. In short
the advantages which would accrue
FROM the extension are too we'll
known to be extendedly reviewed here.
But it merits the hearty cooperation
of our citizens and every courtesy pos
sible which our city authorities can
extend to help it along should be
granted and its realization made pos
sible.
The original intention of the road
was to branch off at Good Thunder
and make the extension from that
point. But that idea has been recon
sidered The Milwaukee road has al
ways been we'll disposed toward Man
kato and in the past has rendered it
every favor possible, and the fact that
it now prefers to make its proposed
extension from this point, though the
natural obstacles to be overcome are
considerable greater than farther down
the line, evidences the kindly DISPOSE
sion which it has toward the city.
And being one of the great railway
lines of the west, having an equal if
not greater mileage than any of it's
competitors, it possesses advantages
which it seems to the Free Press would
be well for the city to cultivate.
As to the effect the proposed
tracks will have on the city pumping
station, by running across the property
it is situated on, there seems to exist
a difference of opinion. Men convers-
ant Herewith say that there would be
no more perceptible jar therefrom than
is the case at present. 1t would seem
that under the circumstances provision
could be made in the ordinance that
in case any damage should be incurred,
the road should be held liable to the
city therefor, as is the case in other
lines, and there is no question but that
such provision would be sustained by
the courts and the city's interests
would be fully protected, while an OBJ
stacle to the proposed extension would
thus be wholly removed.
From all that can be learned at pre-
sent, there is not much if any doubt,
but that if the right of way asked for
from the city is granted, the Farming
ton extension will be an assured fact.

A CURIOUS FIND.
Somebody Writes q Note That Causes
Much Mystery,

Mrs. Brown of South Bend Saturday
noon handed Officer Daniels slip of
paper upon which were scrubbed some
words in lead pencil. The paper was
found by her daughter between the
rails of the crossing in South Bend of
the Omaha road. The writing, as
nearly as it can be made out, is as fol-
lows:
"June 90, 1901. TO whom il NAV
concern: Goodby to this world.
This is my last beer 1 (drank). The
world know what beer have done for
(me). Look for me in Lake Crystal. 4"
There is no signature, and one or
two of the words can scarcely be made
out. The police do not think that the
note indicates any rash act on the part
of the writer. The scrap of paper is
leaf torn from a note book.

Lie OlClS MUSICAL CluD gave GuOr-
oughly enjoyable entertainment at the
Mankato theatre Thursday night to a
fair sized audience, and all present went
away with words of highest common
dation for the performers. In fact
Mankato people may we'll feel proud of
such musical talent as these young peo-
pie possess, and it must have been a
source of great personal satisfaction
to them to know that their efforts were
so highly appreciated. Every number
was encored to the echo. and grace
fully responded to by the performer.
Miss Elsie Jache demonstrated her
talent on the piano to the delight of
all. Miss Hughes, the vocalist, has a
strong, sweet voice and her renditions
showed culture apd taste to a marked
degree. Miss Eva Schoyen on the
cello, pleased the audience greatly, and
her execution was marvel to many
in one so young. Miss Minnie
Schoyen, in her work on the violin,
surprised her most intimate friends in
the progress toward perfection that
she has made the past few months I'M
der Prof Reidlesberger of Minneapolis,
and her reception was enthusiastic
and spontaneous. Each of the girls
did more than was expected, and they
all deserve equal credit for furnishing
their friends with an enjoyable pro-
gram, exceptionally we'll executed.
Miss Nettie Brown and Luthur M .
Phillips of Minneapolis were married
Wednesday at high noon at Amboy,
at the home of the BRIDES mother,
Mrs. H. L. Brown. Miss Jennie 81.
Brown was maid of honor. 81 er gown
was pink dimity and her flowers pink
roses. The BRIDES gown was. of white
mouseline de sole, with point lace
trimmings and her flowers were white
roses. The service was read by Rev.
Ora w. Taylor, and Burton H. Twichell
was best ma n. Mr.. Phillips and his
bride went to Minneapolis in the after
noon and are at home at 729 Tenth
avenue Sc. Mrs. A E. Phillips and
Miss Minnie Phillips of Minneapolis
went to Amboy for the wedding.
One of the most joyous weddings of
this, the month of roses and brides,
occurred at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Rector at Garden City Thurs
day, June Goth, when their daughter,
Miss Efie M, and Mr.. Chas. II.
Peterson were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. Rev. F. 81. Mar
shall officiating. The bridal party
passed between streamers of white rib
bons held by Miss Grace and Master
Paul Van Slyke, niece and nephew OF
the bride, to an arch of evergreens and
flowers, beneath which an unusually
beautiful marriage ceremony was per-
formed. Mary lockwood acted as
bridesmaid and j. K. Osgood as
groomsman.
About fifty friends were present to
wish the couple JOY and presented them
with many useful and beautiful pre-
sents.
After the ceremony bounteous re-
past was served to the guests, the
tables being spread in leafy bower
erected and decorated for the occa-
sion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson left on the
four o'clock train for short honey
moon and were followed by the good
wishes of their friends, which means
the entire community, and were
treated to a liberal shower of flowers
and rice.

BRYAN ON PORTO RICO.

Mr.. Bryan's comments on the Porto
Rican decision, eays the Indianapolis
Citizen, are forcible, but they do not at
all overstate the sentiment OF the great
mass Of the thinking men OF the coun-
try. 1t is an occasion that calls for fore
ible statement, and it is one that calls
for the rally of all who would maintain
constitutional government against this
new doctrine. The gist of the whole
matter is put by Mr.. Bryan into these
words:
"The decision, like the Dred Scott de-
cision, raises a political issue which
must be settled by the people. The su-
preme court has joined with the presi-
dent and congress in an attempt to
change the form OF our government, but
there yet remains an appeal to the peo-
ple."
There is no exaggeration in this state
ment Of the effects OF the decision. 1t
does change the form Of our government
by adding an entirely new class OF terri
tory, and an entirely new class of peo-
pie subject to our laws. 1t changes the
spirit of our government by introducing
arbitrary power where no such thing
existed before. The same truth was ex-
pressed by Justice Harlan in these
words:
~ take leave to say that if the prin-
ciples now announced should receive
the sanction of a majority Of this court
the result will be radical and mis-
chievous change in our system OF gov
ernment. We will, in that event, pass
from the era of constitutional liberty,
guaranteed and protected by written
constitution, into an era OF legislative
absolutism in respect of many rights
that are dear to all people who love
freedom"
The heretical principles did receive
the sanction OF a majority OF the court
The court did unite with the president
and congress in this plan OF overthrow
ing the established limits OF govern
mental power. And now there remains
nothing but the appeal to the people.
An issue has been made that must to
met, and met at once, or the new doc
trine will become forever engrafted on
our system. 1t cannot be delayed. ST.
lent acquiescence would be as fatal as
ss ssnss,cceaaful rasiatanna And th;a ;soua
overtowers all else. II is useless to talk
about minor Issues when the founda.
tions of the government are being un-
dermined. II this new doctrine be adj
mitted. anything and everything may
follow, for the constitution loses It's re-
straining force and arbitrary, unre.
strained rule follows. The issue is made
clearer by theee decisions than it could
have been made otherwise. The ques-

Antonio Teareal
Shot By Officers

Last Friday night, Metcalf in eastern
Arizona, was the scene of an acciden
exciting while it lasted, and resulting in
the death Of one of the participants.
Antonio Teareal started Oft Oh one ol
his periodicals and proceeded to make
himself prominent. lie began by get
ting drunk, he continued by get ting dis.
orderly, he ended by getting killed.
The first two Of these incidents were
not uncommon with him. 1t is stated
that when they occurred he made it un-
pleasant for those around him.
Finding him in this condition Con-
stable Geo. Burkner tried to induce him
to go home, says the SolomonvlIe Bull
letin. His brother.in-law also added
his influence, aud apparently with good
effect. Teareal went home but only to
return with Winchester.
Burkner and Catalino Peralta both
saw him coming, and started TO take the
gun away from him. A small ore train
was standing on the track. Teareal in.
trenched himself between two cars, and
opened fusilade.
Burkner approached on one side oil
the train and Peralta on the other.
Teareal had by this time sent five shots
in their directions, and the officers had
put in about four apiece. One of them
got in Its work and Teareal dropped.
The officers ran up, took away the gun,
and brought the wounded man out from
the cars. He died Saturday.
