CREATING SYMPATHY FOR AMEs.

There is a disposition shown by the
prosecuting officials of Minneapolis to
pursue a course toward the former
mayor of that city that must result in
creating much sympathy for him. No
one can deny that DR.. Ames is a very
sick man, mentally as we'll as physi-
cally. To his ailments are in great
measure traceable the disgraceful Incl
dents of his administration. He was
somewhat belated in the offer of his
resignation as mayor, but it came, and
his official connection with Minneapolis
is now at an end. More than that, the
Minnesota citizenship of DR.. Ames
came to an end, and he has ceased to
be even a resident of the city of which
he was three times mayor.
Now the Hennepin county attorney
avows, through the public press, his
determination to secure, if necessary,
the extradition of Dr.. Ames from In
diana to answer the charges contained
in the indictments found against him.
Such a course is at once narrow mind
ed and unnecessary. The charge
against DR.. Ames under one indictment
is that of receiving some trivial sum as
bride; the other is that of having
offered money to secure the appoint
ment of his former secretary to fill the
vacancy in the Office of sheriff of Hen
nepin county. The public outside of
nrfo NO q
whatever to either of those charges. 1t
is doubtful whether the people of Min
neapolis extend to them a moments
serious consideration.
Mayor Ames has been sufficiently
punished already for his foolish mis-
| deeds. The government of the city OF
Minneapolis has been restored to nor
NAL conditions through his resignation
He is an old man and his days are few
| His present ailments will follow him to
his grave, if they do not bring him
| there. His enforced return to Mime
apolis to answer those charges is not
the demand Of sound public policy. II
can only proceed from either Of two
| sources, the demagogfsm Of the officials
of the county attorneys Office or the
bitterness of personal and political en-
nifty.
The decent thing for the criminal
authorities of Minneapolis to do in the
premises is to enter a nolle prosequi on
each of the indictments now pending
against DR.. Ames.

LET THEM COME HERE.

The address delivered in Amsterdam
by Gen. Botha, so far as the cable re-
port enables judgment to be formed
upon 1t, indicates that the prospects Of
continued peace and good will between
the British government and the Boer
soldiery is seriously menaced. Gen.
Botha's complaint in substance is that
the British government officials have
refused to furnish the necessary means
to enable the Beers to rebuild their
homes and re-establish prosperity
which was so ruthlessly torn away by
the hand of war.
American newspaper readers UNDER
stand that they have received all their
information in the past concerning the
Beers through prejudiced British
sources. The Amsterdam dispatch has
evidently not been censored by British
authorities, and it shows at least that
the claims put forward of superior gen
crosby ON the part of the British gov
eminent toward the Beers are not as
well founded as many were disposed to
believe.
The amount of money which Eng
land has squandered in her endeavor to
wrest their independence from the
Beers defies calculation. The money
which British officials now refuse to
devote to the humane work of building
up the homes and the futures of the
Beers will probably be found to be the
merest fraction of what has been al
ready expended. The refusal repre-
sents a parsimony that will cost Eng
land dear if it is persisted in. The at
titude which the Boer generals, speak
ing for their people, have taken since
the close of the war is one unexampled
in the history of the human race. 1t
is one which England should be willing
to drain her national resources to per-
petuate. The refusal to appropriate a
paltry few additional million pounds
sterling shows the true spirit of the
officials who, under the leadership of
Joseph Chamberlain, brought about the
Boer war.
The Beers will not be allowed to re-
main in want of the money thus re-
fused them. 1t is at their disposal on
this continent. Let them but make it
known to the American people that
they desire the money for the rebuild.
ing of their homes and there is no need
that they shall continue to be the vic
TINS of British parsimony. A six
months visit from Botha, Delarey and
Dewet to the United States will place
at the disposal of that heroic people
all the funds they need, willingly do
mated by the mass of the American
people.

resistance when captured by the other
tenants. She cried like a child, but
said nothing Other terrible act.
Hurriedlythes other women called the
police and Mrs. Kennedy was taken to
the station. A charge Of arson was
made by the women who saw her per-
form the act.
1t was the sixth attempt made to
burn the building during the past
week. Hattie 4Iine was thought to
have been the guilty party, and Mrs.
Kennedy was one of the most violent
in her accusation of the woman. About
seventy-five people live in the tene-
ment, which adjoins the police station,
and had a. fire gained Roadway the
loss of life would have been enormous
One night last week the structure was
fired three times.
The plan to catch the incendinary
was arranged, by Sergeant Pat Muir
name, who had Matron Cummings, of
the central police station to inform
Mrs Kennedy that Mrs. Hines was re-
leased and the charge against her was
dismissed.
1t was not thought by the people in
the tenement that Mrs. Kennedy was
guilty, but thirty minutes after she
was told of the disposition of the case,
she was caught red handed setting fire
to the building by her neighbors.

NO GLOBE FAvoR!TEs

A great many deserving Democrats
who are now candidates for the nomi-
nations of their party in this county
for the different offices have urged
upon T h e Clio e the propriety of
presenting to it's readers some state
ment of their superior qualifications for
the offices to which they aspire. T h e
G o b e in every case has refused to
take such action. 1t will continue its
present attitude until the primary cleo
lions are held and the nominations are
made. That attitude is one of absolute
disinterestedness among the several
candidates. Those responsible for the
conduct of The Clio b e have their
own views of the relative merits and
dement's of the several candidates Of
With those views the public has little
or nothing whatever to do at this time.
1t would be grossly unjust and would
involve the exercise of a prerogative
any newspaper, to undertake to pass
upon the relative merits of those whose
names are now before the voters for
approval.
The new primary system was de-
signed to give the people who cast the
votes the absolute right to say whom
they should nominate for office. 1t

in the hands of the voters themselves.
The GIob will not print even a
single line on behalf of any candidate

construed as interfering with the rights
of the voters under the law. 1t has
taken pains to set forth the claims of
the several candidates presented from
the viewpoint of themselves and their
friends. 1t could go no further and
do no differently without discriminate
ing.
On Tuesday next the voters will have
the opportunity to decide for them
selves. In the only cases in which, I'M

called to so decide, they have shown
their willingness and ability to make
wise selections. When those selections
are made the candidates of the party

Russia's present order for the ex-

BEAUMONT, Tex, Sept ITO
night. there are only four wells and two
tanks burning in the oil fields, as the
rest of the oil available has been con-
stunned. One of the wells is a big gush-
er and there will be much trouble in
extinguishing it. The smaller wells
can be easily handled, as the fire is
principally fed by gas.
The loss is estimated from $4,000 to
$250,000. About thirty derricks were
destroyed. Fifteen tanks, some of them
filled with oil, were burned out. Sew
eral pumping plants were put out of
service and are rendered useless, and
in this the heaviest loss lies outside of
the oil destroyed. The fire was started
by the carlessness of workman, who
went into tank with a lighted lantern
and there was an explosion of gas,
which ignited the oil.

THE INEVITABLE CONFLICT

For fifty years and over the march
direction of the Amur river. This has
been as Inevitable in its way as the
breaking down of the barriers of the
Allegheny mountains in the rush of
American civilization westward. The
enforced population Of Siberia by Rus
STA as a penal colony has borne fruit,
and today the descendants of Russian
and Polish revolutionists and others
who were deported to Siberia, may be
regarded as the vanguard of Russian
civilization in the far East.
Within ten years the worlds diplo-
macy was easily aroused by the cry of
Russia at the gates of Herat," but the
great Chinese puzzle forced itself upon
the world of European diplomacy for
solution and Russian invasion of the
British East Indies ceased to be a mat
counter moves of European diplomacy
in the past ten years in China the aim
has been in all cases territorial acqui-
sition. The sphere of influence" never
was anything more than euphemism
to cover up the determination of Eu-
ropean nations, if possible, to divide up
the territory of the Chinese empire
among themselves.
The end of the Boxer rebellion has
been, that through the moral influence
of the United States Europe has been
prevented from carving up the Chinese
empire. Trade has been opened and
China is on the path which leads to
material advancement. Whether she
will follow that path remains yet to be
seen. Russia has the overland pathway
into China through Manchuria. Her
merchants, her soldiers and her civil
pioneers have opened up that pathway
England and Japan within the past
few months have united to dispute her
claim to Manchurian control. The re-
Spouse has been by France and Russia
not as the English reading world has
been taught to believe, a willing con-
sent to Russia's withdrawal from Man.
ehuria, but a combined effort. if neces-
sary, for the defense of Russian inter-
ests in the East.
That is the situation today, and it is
a situation which must inevitably re-
suit in strife. The current cable dis
patches indicate that that strife is now
at hand. 1t may not be. 1t probably is
not. But it is none the less inevitable
