everyone who has any interest in the I'M

sufficient interest to aid in its promotion
in this at SO little of expense of time and
convenience-should make an effort to at
tend today's meeting, the hour and place
Of which will be found announced else
where.
1t Is rather on concerted and organized
effort, however, that success will depend.
The people can be reached in their homes
and places of business. The children in
the schools have done their little share;
but they can and will do more, if the
movement is properly organized and d.
rected. The movement will extend all
over the state; but the liberality of the
peoplo of the two leading cities must act
as an inspiration to the other sections
Thus far that has not been the result
ST. Paul and Minneapolis have done little
or nothing; while Duluth has done more
than both combined; and the country sec
tons more than five times as much as
all three cities combined
An entirely worthy expression of the
popular feeling will be realized through
out the country. What concerns the peo-
pie of Minnesota more Immediately is
that this state, ever loyal to the Union,
and ever ready to manifest the patriotism
Of it's citizens, shall give a good account
of itself.

Everything considered the action of the
Democratic congressional caucus should
prove entirely satisfactory to all classes
of Democrats. There never was any
reason why the subject of the Kansas
City platform should have received any
consideration whatever from the members
Of the party in congress. 1t is none Of
their business. The platform is there.
and there it will remain representing the
action Of the Democratic national con-
vention until it is superseded by another
such declaration when the proper time
comes.
Those who make a fetch Of that docu-
ment would do well to get hold of a
compilation of national party platforms
and examine them. BY such action they
will find that the Democratic party. and
| indeed, all parties, adopt their national
| declarations Of principle with reference
to existing conditions. often the later
declaration ignores those issues which
were supreme in former contests. 1t has
even happened in the history of the
Democratic party, as in that of all par
ties, that the policy of today on a given
issue varies widely, and is even in direct
variance with that of four years preced-
ing.

Do1L1TER ON THE TARIFF.

Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, just elected
to a term in the United States senate
has declared i'll effect against the present
tariff law. It may be added, however,
that a great many able Republicans have
done the same thing-when there was no
campaign waging. But, just as in the
case of these other Republicans, Senator
Dofliver will be the loudest orator in the
land in defense of the next Republican
platform, which will insist that there
must be no tampering with the trust
breeding Dingley law.

he has found it and declared it does not

in the following sentences: And yet no

On the other hand, they can buy prae-

The same condition prevails to a con-

by the past, the voters of Iowa will con-

to the senate who will, by vote and in
fluence, persist in keeping the DingIey
law on the statute books. Dolliver, Of
course, would be one Of the first to cry
down any attempt to lessen the extortion

in the senate. The trust barons, who con

Perfectly. There is not a dishonor-

THE young mans reputation certainly

During the entire time he appeared
nervous and excited. In moments OF

wall or at his desk, every feature of
his face marked with despair and
wretchedness.
Finally the hour for closing arrived.
1 saw him lock the outside door; I saw
him place the stamps in the vault ana

bills and coin; / saw him count the
small change that was in the money
drawer in the desk; 1 saw him make a
note of the amount and enter it in a
book.
Then he glanced around the room. ap-
prehensively, frightened, a wild look in
his eyes and perspiration on his brow.
Suddenly he set his jaws together
determinedly and with feverish haste
filled his pockets with the bills and
silver. When he had emptied the box
he placed 1t back in the vault and closed
and locked the door. Then he advanced
a few steps and paused.
