]. o. MilIigan, chairman Of the repub-
lican club of Wakefield, Neb., sends to
TIL Jo urnjal a letter from the chair
man Of the republican state central COM
mittee, H. &c. Lindsay, to the effect that
the \ Associated Press was in error in
stating that Senator Dietrich Had been
refused the privilege of participating In
the state campaign on account Of his
opposition to the presidents Cuban pol
Icy. Mr. Lindsay says that neither SEN
ator Dietrich nor Senator Willard have
been considered In CONNECTION with the
state campaign by the state committee.
He declares that the published state
ment that their services, offered by Sem
ator Dietrich. had been declined, was
untrue That on the contrary both are
| acting In harmony With The committee.
The Journal Is very glad to make
this correction, having published and
commented on the Associated Press dis
patch referred to- The degree of harmony
which exists between the state central
committee and the senators may be great
er than that which existed between the
! senators and the state convention which
refused to pay attention to their prof.
fered justification for their insurgency
and adopted resolutions condemning them
policy. They are, however, entitled to
an explanation as to their attitude toward
the committee.

NEEDED BANKING FACILITIES

The project Of establishing an interna-
tional bank with American headquarters
continually crops up in New d York
financial circles. Within a few days it
has again been reported that plans are
being considered for the organization of
New York bank on the lines of the
great foreign banking houses Of London,
which maintain. branches all over the
world. - = - ~ = -,
: For an illustration of the present man
ner Of conducting our foreign financial
transactions, the coffee trade might be
taken. New York coffee importers send
to Brazil alone $1,0O0,oo0 week, or $52,-
000,0 900 year. and all their remittances
are through London, for the reason that
the banks at Rio Janeiro are branches of
the great London banks. So that every
American coffee drinker pays something
of indirect tribute to the English bank
ers. And this is only one instance of
many. These conditions will give way
eventually. With the rise of our country
to the first place as money power must
come the establishment Of a great finan-
cial institution backed by American capt.

EXIT. AMES
4 radiance to bad rubbish.

Good radiance to bad rubbish.
This will probably express the feellns
OF the people OF Minneapolis to-day when
they. learn from r h 9 j urn al that
Mayor Ames has rendered his resigna-
ton. to go into effect Sept. s, but not
before taking steps to remove his brother
Fred from the office of Superintendent OF
police. 3 ....l. H.,
Superintendent Fred w. Ames has SO
conducted himself as not only to- Tor
felt all claim to the consideration OF MS
brother, to whom he owes his position as
chief. but so as to excite fresh disgust on
the part of the people of this city by MS
cheeky and ridiculous professions OF OIL
cial virtue made so freely and numerously
since his return. II.
r The passing of the Ameses, 1t Is to be
hoped, marks the end of the ascendancy OF
demagogy and graft In Minneapolis. Mayor
] Ames has four different times seized the
reins of government in this city by resort
to demagogy Of the lowest type, winning
the favor Of undiscriminatlng and pi1a-
BILE people by representing himself as the
friend of the common people," the bene-
s., factor Of the poor. and the champion OF
the workingman. The fact that he stood
for those things in society which war
most upon the common people, upon the
! poor, and upon the workingman, Is the
final result of that analysis of his official
character to which the public has been
treated through the courts. )
AT the last election DR.. Ames was a
political accident. There can be no doubt
that upon straight republican vote at
the primaries he would have been de-
feated for nomination. But once nomi-
mated, the fetish of party loyalty com
PEELED many men, who after all could not
make peace with their consciences even
on that score, to support him, with the
result that he was elected and the reign
of lawlessness and crime, for which this
city has become notorious, began. !.
To-day we see the end, and with 1t the
exit of Ames and Ames ism, to the ever
lasting benefit Of the town and the un-
qualified delight of the people. How much
harm An1es and Ames-ism has done. this
city will probably. never be known, but
the credit of having been able to shake
them Off, entrenched as they were, Is
worth something and should do much to
offset the damage in reputation which the
city sustained.

THE PENNSYLVANIA RIOTS

The president OF the district of the
United Mine Workers Of America, where
the rioting and bloodshed occurred yes
avowed the outbreak as contrary to the
teachings Of the order and I'M violation
Of explicit instructions of the leaders,

to assist in the suppression OF lawless-
ness. In such disavowar President Nit
chell concurs. l4.."f
During the eleven weeks Of the anthra-
cite strike there have been "a number OF
cases where non-union miners have been
assaulted and beaten and prevented from
work and two or three cases of killing of
such persons are on record, but the dis
trict leaders and Mitchell himself have no
doubt done all in their power to prevent
such violence and to avoid such COLI
sion between rioting miners and the con-
stabulary as occurred yesterday. AS in

GENUINE TARIFF REFORM

The Iowa republicans, at their conven-
tion yesterday, stood by their tariff dec.
1aration Of last year, showing their fealty
to the progressive spirit OF the srepub-
lican party. Proclaiming their fealty to
the principle of protection, they recog-
nize the necessity Of notifications to meet
the necessities of individual progress and
the changing relations Of our industries
to the commerce of the world. The
policy of reciprocity is Endorsed
and the administration policies are
strongly approved, and Roosevelt is in
dorsed for the republican nomination and
election In 1904. y ..
Governor Cummins and his friends won
a decisive victory in the, adoption of the
platform without dissenting voice. Iowa
is one Of the most progressive states in
the progressive west. It's fealty to the
republican partytand republican principles
cannot be questioned. That the platform
party in the west is indisputable. No
sudden and general revision of the tariff
schedules is proposed. 1--WE favor such
changes in the: tariff, from time to time,
as become advisable through the progress
of our Industries and their changing re-
lations to the commerce of the world
That is intelligent tariff reform It
means that when an Industry has been
stimulated by protective duty to- the
point OF maturity where it does not need
such measure Of projections revision

industry is perfectly able to compete with
a foreign industry in the, InanufactureHof
a similar product, 1t is advisable to re-
move the. protection. -.-.s...>,
1t is true that Speaker Henderson and
other members Of the Iowa delegation in
congress have been afraid to take such
a position as the republicans of Iowa have
taken, but these gentlemen ought to be
aware no wthat they are not in full accord
with their party in their state. The argu-
ment has been, with Henderson and 9TH
ers, that, while tariff revision may be
a good thing for the party, it isn't time
yet to advocate 1t in party platform,
but the cry Let well enough alone
sounds like dismal mockery at the pres
ent time, when the progressive genius of
the republican party is arriving rapidly at
the conclusion that, If that party does
not effect an intelligent revision Of the
tariff, it, Is very likely that the democrats
may be invited by an impatient public to
try their hands at tariff making again.
