TWO GOOD STORIES

The late John c. Terry in the year 1919
came to the landing place on the Missfs-
sippi river which afterwards became the
site Of the city of st. Paul. lie told
the writer that during the spring fol-
lowing he tramped across country to
point near where the state fish hatchery
is now located. He was then a strong,
sturdy young fellow ready Tor any ex-
perience which might present itself In
going out from st. Paul on this excur-
sion he had waded through Phalen
creek near its mouth and expected to
do so again while returning. While go
ing home he found on the cast sank
of the stream the Rev Augustine Ea-
voux, at that time the sole representa-
tive of the Catholic church in the I'M
mediate neighborhood OF st. Paul. The
worthy priest had been out en- a tour
of pastoral calls, and when returning
did not find at the banks of the creek
the boatman who had ferried him over
and who had promised to be there await
ing his return. Terry had become ac-
quainted with Father Ravoux who was
one of the leaders in the pioneer settle
ment, and when the two met upon this
occasion they had an exchange of saluta-
lions and some conversation. The priest
told Terry how he had crossed the
stream that morning and how he was
now detained as prisoner on the bank
and of the absence of the boatman upon
whom he had relied and who was no.

rious because night was coming on
Father Ravoux was quite disconsolate
After some bantering about the delights
of tramping about in the wilderness Mr..
Terry said: Father Ravoux, did you
ever when a boy ride upon the back
of another boy?" In answer to this
Father Ravoux somewhat hesitatingiy
admitted that he had participated in that
form of juvenile diversion. '"Then," said
Terry, "get on my back and will carry
you over After some polite der1ur on
the part of the priest he climbed upon
the shoulders of his Yankee Baptist
friend, and thus supported was carried
across the turbulent and muddy stream
which had been formidable bar

himself of Mr.. Terrys kind offer Father
Ravoux would have been obliged to make

NOW WE DIscBrvrNar,

Within few days the secretary or
state of the United States has tbo,o,t
proper to make public document in the
nature of protest by this government
against the proposed Russo-Chinese
treaty concerning Manchuria. That pro-
test. declared in effect that that treaty
was in violation of the sovereign rights
Of China, and should not be allowed by
other nations to go into effect without
the protest which Mr. Hay therein ex-
pressed. Indeed, Mr.. Hays position was
not only protest against the Russo
Chinese treaty, but it was in effect an
endorsement Of the Anglo-Japancse
treaty.
Now let us see how this sort of thing
works. e Clio b e, in discussing re-
Gently the offer of the Mackay cable in
terest to build a line connecting the
main land of the United States and the
Orient by cable, always assumed that
the offer involved the extension and per
fiction of the cable service between the
United States and China. Since the com
mittee on foreign and interstate m
merce of the house recently declared
against the Mackay plan it has been
made to appear that neither the Mackay
Interests nor the United States has any
rights whatever with reference to laying
cable on the Chinese mainland. That
right is possessed exclusively by eng
land in conjunction with a Danish svnd1-
cate.
His majestys government shall use
their best endeayors to secure from the
administration (China) the due fulfill
ment on their part of the hereinbefore
reeited agreements of the 4th August.
1900 and 9th October, 1900, and also the
due observance and fulfillment by the
administration until the 31st day of De-
cember, 1880, of the terms and conditions
of the recited agreement of 18th July,

lated and confirmed in manner afore-
said"
This resolution has reference to the
cable monopoly which the British gov
eminent now possesses in connection
with the aforesaid Danish syndicate 70
land cables on the Chinese coast When
1t was adopted last June. it seems that
Sir Charles Dixie called attention 10 the
fact that it was in contravention of the
policy Of the United States in seeking
TO secure direct cable communication
with China Mr.. Chamberlain. that vehe-
ment friend of the United States. de.
clared then that the matter was enc
which required haste and suggested dis
regarding the warning of Sir Charles
Dixie.
Ana 50 the matter now stands. The
privilege, or more properly, the monop-
oily. which the British government has
thus put itself in possession of, is clearly
An violation Of the open door policy, and

of the treaty rights of the United states.
The following is article 30 Of our treaty
with China, dated June. 1858:
''The contracting parties hereby agree
that, should at any time the Ia Using
empire grant to any nation, or the mer-
chants or citizens of any nation, any
right, privilege or favor connected Ell
Their with navigation. commerce, political
or other intercourse, which is not con-
fer1ed by this treaty, such right, privilege
and favor shall at once freely inure to
the benefit of the United States, its pub
lie officers, agents and citizens"
Perhaps Mr.. Hay will advise the coun-
try why he finds it necessary to enter
his protest as secretary of state against
the negotiation of the Manch1r.an
treaty, while ignoring the nature of these
concessions made to England by lott r.
ing government, and made, by the way,
strange to relate, while the British and
the other embassies were. as the world
thought, being besieged by the Boxer
forces last summer a year ago.
1t may be compatible with the national
dignity to ignore the shameful violation
of his privileges and prerogatives as min
lister from the court of st. James, Of
which Lord Pauncefote now stands con-
victed either with or without the sane
ton and cooperation Of his government.
That was an instance in Which England
sought to do us dirt and failed. This is
case where she has sought to do US
dirt, and succeeded. The administration
may ignore the one 1t will not be al
lowed to ignore the other, much as it
may desire. There are too many valra-
bic commercial interests involved to :liink
that it can long escape public attention
It is declared that the Elks will cap
ture the town on the occasion of their
next public display. 1t is a good thing
for the town to be captured by men
who have as much humanity as the Ellzs.

EXPEE BOTH.

On the published reports Of the encoun-
ter between Senators McLaurin and Till
man, of South Carolina, there is but one
action open to the senate to adopt with
reference to them. That is to expel both
of them.
There is not a shade of difference in
their misconduct. Each is equally guilty
be BLACKBOARD. In addition to showing
himself to be a blackguard Tillman show
ed himself to be bully. That is the
only difference in the conduct o. the two
men; and that is a difference in degree,
not in kind.
If the senate does not throw both of
these men out of doors it is because it has
no proper regard for its own dignity, or
for the wishes of the American people.
One of them made a statement concern
ing the other which demanded a dignified
and convincing denial and disproof In
stead of offering either, that one chose
to adopt the refuge of the street corner
BLACKBOARD by calling the other liar
This was done without the slightest ref
erence to the decencies of public debate,
the rules of the senate or personal obliga-
ton in any direction The other retorted
in kind by humping his assailant and
one of the most disgraceful incidents in
American parliamentary history, worthy
of saloon brawl, was the result.
When another ruffian of this type
struck down Charles Sumner in the SEN
ate chamber nearly fifty years ago the
senate decided to expel him. But while
the vote was lacking of the necessary
two-thirds, Brooks had the deceney to
resign, and the country was satisfied.
Now the situation which confronts the
senate of the United States, the state
of South Carolina and the country is
substantially the same as that of May,
1856. South Carolina is sane, as she was
not then. She knows. or ought to know,
what is demanded of her in the present
instance. If these two men have not the
decency to resign, and the senate has not
the courage or self-devotion to throw
them out Of the body which they have
both disgraced, then the state of South
Carolina ought to have the good sense
to demand their designations, and should
select two others of her citizens to repre-
sent the state.
1t is comparatively few weeks since
both of these men made outward plays
of desiring to withdraw from the senate
to test the question of political difference
existing between them. If they were net
deceiving themselves then. or trying to
deceive the country, they have now the
opportunity by which they can do an
act of justice to the senate which both
of them have declared their sorrow for
offending. Their designations are in or
der. If they do not resign they should
be expelled. If they are not expelled
South Carolina owes it to itself as an
American commonwealth to see that it
cancels the commissions of each of them
They have differences to settle and they
should be given the amplest opportunity
to settle them away from the national
capital, and in some other character be-
sides that of senator's of the United
States, which character both of them
have disgraced.

she visited an immense store on Broad

A UNIQUE VILLAGE.

There is one village in the United States
where no modern Improvement has ever
penetrated, where not the faintest echo
of the rush of overWork Of modern life
has ever sounded where American news
papers are not read, nor the English lam
guage spoken.
This is the little German village Of
Glandorf, in Putnam count, Ohio, where
600 frugal and Industrious. Inhabitants
have lived for years in a contented and
idyllic simplicity.
In the building of the town, as in every
thing else about it, the people have held
very closely to the customs of Germany,
from where it's founders came. There
is but one street, and that extends for
over a mile, generally north and south.
Quaint, durable and honnelike are the
houses scattered along either side, inter
spersed here and there by stores. All
the residences have spacious and we'll
kept dooryards. Back and away from
this principal street-yet so near that the
laborerS can be seen and heard at their
work in the fields-stretch the thrifty
farms of the German country folk. 1t
is not an uncommon sight to see women
and girls at work on the fields with the
men, and the whole population shows
that rugged health so characteristic of
the race.
