A TIMELY WARNING.
racr Contains Much That IL
Significant.

There were some plain, incontro-
vertible facts stated in st. Clair Me-
Kelway's letter to the Manhattan
club, which Mr.. Hill had completely
ignored when he prepared his plan
for recOnstructing the democracy by
making it, instead of party of no
definite policy, a party of all policies
that it has had since the sixties, says
the Albany journal.
Mr.. Mckelway has his eyes open
to conditions. He has learned wis
dom from the sad experience of his
party's past. lie knows that the dem
ocratic party cannot ever hope to
win success by resurrecting issues
that are dead, by continuing the pro-
mitigation of doctrines which the
people have rejected. lie understands
that in country whose government
is for and by the people, party that
asks to be intrusted with the man
agement of the peoples affairs must
give the people what they want, that
it can never win their confidence and
support by trying to force upon
them what it wants and they do not.
Mr.. McKelway accepts the facts
that the people are committed to
the gold standard, and to expansion,
that they are determined that free
capital as we'll as free labor shall
have its rights, that they want an
interoceanic canal, a navy betitting
the countrys greatness, and re-
stored commerce, and he asserts
without qualification that the party
which will secure to them these
things will be intrusted by them

HIS FIRST VETO.
President Roosevelt Sends Mes
sage to the Senate.
Senate Had Voted 10 Remove the
Charge of Desertion from Mans
War Record -- President Says
rsiii Is Unjust 10 Men who
Were Faithful 10 Duty.

Washington, March 12.-President
Roosevelt on Tuesday sent his first
veto message to congress. 1t was
directed to the senate and the bill
vetoed was one removing the charge
of desertion from the naval record
of John Glass. The message was as
follows:
There can be no graver crime than
the crime of desertion from the army
or navy, especially during war; it is
then high treason to the nation and
is justly punishable by death. No
man should be relieved from such a
crime, especially when nearly 40
years have passed since it occurred,
save on the clearest possible proof
of his real innocence. In this case
the statement made by the atliant be-
fore the committee does not in all
points agree with his statement made
to the secretary of the navy.
I'm any event it is incomprehen-
sible to me that he should have made
effective effort to get back into the
navy. He had served but little more
than month when he deserted, and
the war lasted for over year after
wards, yet he made no effort what
ever to get back into the war. I'm
der such circumstances it seems to
me that to remove the charge of de-
sertion from the navy and give him
an honorable discharge would be to
falsify the records and do an injus-
tice to his gallant comrades who
fought the war to a finish. The
names of the veterans who fought in
the civil war make the honor list of
the republic; and | am not willing to
put upon it the name of man un-
worthy of the high position"
After the message had been deliv-
cred Senator Gallinger, from the
committee on naval affairs, read the
report of the committee on which the
senate acted. From that statement
it appeared that Glass enlisted in
January, 1864, when only 16 years of
age, and that, having Witnessed an
act which compromised the second
officer of the ship, he was taken
ashore in March of that year by that
officer and told not to report again
for duty The committee say that
this order, together with Glass
youth, was responsible for his deser-
ton.

THE SEALERS' STRIKE.
Ii Hs Ended by Giving Them an Ad-
vance in Wages.

St. Johns, \. F., March 12.-The
scalers' strike here is ended and the
sealing steamers have sailed for the
ice foes. The men Tuesday after
noon refused the owners offer OF
of all berth charges.
As result of this refusal. public
opinion strongly condemned the men,
the concessions accorded by the own
ers being regarded as liberal. Some
of the crews then withdrew from the
ma iority and decided to accept the
owners terms. The police afforded
these men protection and enabled
the owners and crews to reach the
ships in spite of the threatening
UNertures of the strikers. In the
meanwhile scores of men joined the
other ships.
The aggressive strikers boarded
these vessels and drove the men
ashore. but they could not keep pace
With the defections. Finally the
,lmittee of the strikers, seeing
that the situation was getting be-
md their control, decided to accept
tie owners terms and ordered the
strike off. The committee directed
I'll the men to join their ships and
within two hours the ships had crews
and were sailing to sea.
The terms of the settlement are
that the men shall get $3.50, as
against 1926 last year, per hundred
weight for seals: they also get free
berths. as against the former charge
of S3.

with power, while the party that
would keep from them the things
mentioned which they desire will be
relegated to obscurity.
And Mr. Hill wants the party to
declare for bimetallism, against ex-
pansion, against the right of capital
to engage in large industrial enter
prises! He wants it to take up again
the tinkering with the tariff that was
responsible for the last period of
commercial and industrial depression
through which the country passed.
1t is almost wonder that he does
not go a little farther back into the
past and call for resurrection of the
democracys declaration that the war
for the preservation of the union was
a failure and that reconstruction
was unconstitutional
Mr.. Hill has shown himself to be a
man as dangerous to the country's
interests as Mr.. Bryan was in 1896
and again in 1900. The rumor that
Mr.. Bryan faYors his candidacy in
1904 is denied, but it would not have
been strange, if true, if we supposed
that Mr.. Bryan himself had re-
nounced his ambition. Mr.. Hill has
shown himself to be a man after Mr..
Bryan's own heart.
1t is well that the people of the
United States have received timely
warning. They will have ample time
to prepare themselves to resist the
renewed attack upon their prosper
ity which probable leaders of the de-
mocracy are contemplating.

There is a curious growth Of trees
at Tilden's Point, Me. Three yellow
birch trees are growing on IA pine
stump. The tree, which was about
two and half feet in diameter, is
thought to nave been cut down some
80 years ago, leaving a stump three
and half feet high. The seeds of the
birch must have lodged on this stump,
and as they grew they sent their roots
down its sides to reach the ground.
The three trees are, respectively, five.
six and seven inches in diameter.

Did they vote for the Foraker amend
ment and thus relieve the Filipinos
of a large share of the "arbitrary
taxation which they have so vigor-
ously condemned? Only six of them
proved their sincerity by so voting.
Eighteen of them voted the other
way.
Among those IS democrats were
Messrs. Bailey, Culberson, Dubois,
Money, Patterson, Rawlins, Teller
and Vest, all most acrid critics of the
republican policy toward the islands,
and all constantly bubbling over with
sympathy for the Filipinos. If only
these eight democrats had voted as
they talked the Foraker amendment
would have been adopted. The Fill
pinos would have been relieved of
one-half of the taxes now imposed on
their products at our custom houses.
But these eight gentlemen would not
have it.
In the United States senate, as
elsewhere, men must be judged not
by their words, but by their deeds.
BY their votes on the Foraker amend
ment Is of the 24 democrats present
ate their words and repudiated their
party's declaration of policy. Their
words professed friendship and be-
nevolence towards the Filpinos.
Their deeds were those of injury and
hostility.
BY its deeds is the democratic party
convicted hcforp the American neO-
pie of utter insincerity.

OPEN TO OUTSIDERS
PRIVILEGES OF PUBLIC, LIBRARY
EXTENDED TO OUT OF TOWN

PROPOSED BY DIRECTOR F0GG
Amendment Which Has an Educa-
tiOnaI Purpose in View Will he
Adopted at the Next
Meeting.

At its meeting the board of library di-
rectors will amend the bylaws TO the
extent Of extending the privileges of the
library to others than actual residents of
st. Paul.
The extent Of the amendment win be
to give residents Of St44-water, Hastings
and other nearby towns and cities the
right to become patrons Of the St. Paul
library, and partake of its privileges.
Literally the proposed amendment
throws the library open to the state at
large, but its main purpose is to take
care of nearby towns and cities. not so
fortunately supplied with library facilities
as st. Paul
Director Fogg is the author of this
amendment, and its submission at the
meeting of the board last evening was
favored sufficiently to show that it will
receive passage when the proper time
comes. The directors not only view it
from an educational standpoint, but see
in it business advantages for ST Paul
as it will bring to the city class of
people whose visits are few and far be-
tween. 1t will give them an interest in
the city and other advantages will ac-
cruz. as a result
The privileges of the library are now
open TO outsiders, but in a limited way.
They must be employed here The amend
ment VIII come up for final passage at
the next meeting.

PROFIT FOR FARMERS
PROPOSITION FOR COOPERATIVE
COMMISSION COMPANIES.

The Northwestern Independent Farm
ers' Elevator association held a meeting
yesterday in the Office of J. c. Hanley
in the Baltimore block. The most impor-
tant matter that came up before the
meeting was the effort to form cooper
alive commission companies whose pur-
pose is to handle the grain raised by the
farmers in the locality in which they
operate. These companies will also pur-
chase rights on the boards of trade in
New York, Chicago, Minneapolis and Du-
luth.
One of the elevator owners connected
with the project says that if the plans
can be carried out, the farmer will,
through the aid of one of these co-opera-
tive companies, be able to place his
grain on the market and command exact
ly the same price that the middle man
gets for it. The idea is virtually to do
away with the grain buyer, who reaps
a harvest from the farmer. By doing
this the producer will get as much for
his grain as the buyer will give him,
and in addition will also receive the
profit which the buyer usually gets.
There was a good attendance from the
various parts of the Northwest, and the
session will be continued today The
plans mentioned above will receive a full
Ter discussion today, and it is probable
that some definite action will be taken in
regard to the matter.
