Don't Overlook the Briber.

Eighteen members Of the st. Louis
house of delegates have been indicted for
accepting a bride from a street railway
corporation. = y: =. q y. J. = I, =
f., Those eighteen men shre deserving Of
no sympathy, if guilty as charged. But
the man or men or corporation who bribed
them are deserving of no mercy, either.
If there is a difference in degree of
guilt, it favors the be-taker.. The
briber is worse than the bribed, just as
the tempter is worse than the tempted.
If there were no corrupt men to give
bribes there would be no men corrupted
by receiving them.
Yet as society. is kinder to the man
than to the woman who offends against
social law, so it is kinder to the briber
than his victim. A man convicted OF
having taken a bride is marked,
ruined man. The briber: is considered
clever business man. No club expels him,
no house shuts its doors in his face, nc
church disciplines him. 49,.
If the new Hennepin county grand jury
finds occasion, to take up any case OF
bribery in Minneapolis, 1t will do its duty

the treaty would be Of value and it is
possible that, under the new conditions,
the powers who will profit by the enforce
ment of the clause relating to the tax, will
see that it is enforced. -.
The clause relating to a Chinese uni
form national currency Is of special inter-
est. China has no national currency, as,
understood by western nations. She de-

Chinaman could hardly take in the idea
of uniform national currency with a
purchasing value indicated by Its face,
but stranger things have happened, and 1t
is within the modern possibilities to see
China following the good example of
Japan and getting on the gold standard
good. Since the imperial government has
issued a decree commanding all the Con-
fucan and Buddhist colleges in. the en-
pire to be turned into schools and colleges
of western learning, and has ordered each
provincial capital to open q university like
the Picking university, and has abolished
examinations in Chinese classics, substi-;
tuting theses on western laws and politi-.
cal economy, there would seem to be no
reason to doubt that the effect OF such a
revolutionary decree (for 1t is revolution
airy so far as China is concerned) will be
to stimulate the adoption of all western
economic and financial advantages. A
decree like this, of course, Is apt to bring
about another Boxer outbreak. The re-
sumption Of work, the other day, on the
great Canton-Hankow railway, was fol-
lowed by threatening proclamation by
the Boxer leaders Of a new crusade
against the foreign devils" The educa-
tional edict strikes a deadly blow at Chi
nese preteritism and, If honestly carried
out, will bring about a large realization Of
the program Of the Intelligent Chinese
author Of 1.-The Future China ;,
The treaty negotiated by Minister Con-
ger will embody the features Of the Brit
| ish treaty and no special advantages will
be given to any one Of the powers. What
ever trade advantages Great Britain gets
we will get. ...

which is developed ingeniously and it
tells an interesting story, albeit the telling
Is marred by frequent and tedious In
terruptions. It's defects are technical
merely and Imay be remedied easily
through the judicious use OF a blue pencil
upon Mr.. Pitou's manuscript. To quote
an instance, Mr.. Pitou has obviously ex-
aggerated the value of his comedy inter
est. In the second act he brings upon the
stage Molly, Dooley, a. character whose
affairs have nothing whatever to do with
the main thread Of the story, and permits
her to tell and retell her own love story, q
tale which is humorous in itself, but which
becomes wearisome ere 1t Is finished.
Even the skill of Miss Washburne, who Is
cast in this role, and Of Mr.. Olcott, is
| unable to- redeem the scene. The same
| thing is true of other scenes, but it ap-
pears only reasonable to expect that these
! defects will be discovered and remedied
However. with Mr.. Olcott as star, the
| play Isa not the thing. His position upor
| the: American stage is unique. He enjoys
a large and enthusiastic personal follow

public just as Scanlon did before him. Hi
Is our Irish singing comedian par ex-

his methods are original and his ability

in the shape OF a child's song, and shoult

worthy successor to MY Wild Irish
Rose" which, by the way, Mr.. Olcott ii
still compelled to sing.

Straw votes, like, figures, won't lie, but
that can't be said always Of men who
make figures, no more can: it that the
men who take straw votes are always
fair. A straw vote taken by a strong
Fletcher partizan may not settle the pri-
necessary, no doubt, to go ahead and have
the primary election; but If it has any
value at all the Joe Mannix straw vote
must be conceded to show very plainly
that the race for the congressional nomi-
nation is not where the Fletcher men
have hitherto claimed, but is between Mr.
Fletcher and Mr.. Hay.

Nice. Harmless Bomb,

CONGRESSMAN McCleary is advertised TO
explode a political bomb on or after Sept
rs. A credulous correspondent, after
sitting at the congressman 1eet 1or
few minutes, has stamped the pomp as
genuine and held it up to the aweo gaze
of all who read his paper.
We are unable to agree with TINS cor
RESPONDENT. To us this bomb seems ABOUT
as dangerous as a Quaker cannon. we
can think Of no place thatewil be freer
from mortal germs and injuries when the
bomb explodes than a nice stool made OF
that same bomb. At this writing 1t Is
not plain whether the congressman or the
correspondent Is responsible Tor the as
sertion that the former is the proud pos
SCISSOR of one large bomb, which VIII scat
ter political death and destruction over
at least two Minnesota districts. The
truth probably Is that the correspondent
gave the formidable name to some inter-
esting discoveries and findings of fact
by Mr.. McCleary.
However, this alleged bomb consists
in the reputed fact that lumber is higher
in Canada than in the United States. This
is a very vague and very general state
ment 1t always has been higher In parts
of Canada than in the United States.
We imagine it always has been higher in
Assiniboia than in Minnesota. 1t may or
may not now be higher in Ontario than in
Minnesota. If Congressman McCleary says
it Is higher in Ontario than in Minnesota
we will take his. word for 1t. But what
then?
If it is to remain as it is, of what use
is the tariff as means of protection to
the American manufacturer and work
man?
If it is not to remain as it is, but is soor
to be lower in Ontario than in Minnesota
the tariff should be reduced or abolished
so that the consumers of lumber, aftel
all these years, may enjoy a little protec.
ton.
A portion Of the bomb consists in the
warning that the tariff on lumber, being
useless as measure Of protection, should
be retained for reciprocity trading pur
= poses. 1t might be frivolous to sugges
that if the tariff is of no account to oul
lumbermen its removal will be of no &C
count to Canadian lum bermen, and that
is, therefore, mighty poor trading stock
But the condition Mr.. McCleary find
to exist he admits to be a temporary one
When it passes the tariff will have q reel
procity trade value. s.. b..
Still, we fail to find the explosives
Plenty Of advocates Of the removal Of tn
lumber tariff have advised that it be use
B. as trading stock in a general Canadia
reciprocity scheme. p
IS But Mr.. McCleary's researches ma
have the advantage Of taking the ginge
out Of democratic free trade talk, as the
e. tend to show that just at present tn
= lumber tariff is not hurting anyone an
z that there is time to apply the mild reel
procity treatment instead of free trad
surgery. 49,.

When teachers positions in the Mime
apolis schools go begging it is safe to
conclude that the high water mark OF
prosperity has been reached. Notwith-;
standing the onerous duties Of the posi-
lions and the poor pay, it has been many
years since there have not. been more
candidates than places. This surplus OF
good material has had a tendency to- keel
down teachers salaries below q point com
mensurate with the responsibility and
value of their services. If, as stated, quail
fled women" are finding better pay in
other means of gaining a livelihood the
lot of those who remain in the schools
should soon be bettered. -.r+ -,

Jules Verne was not in earnest when he
made his prediction. w. D. Howells, in
the course of his remarks, says: mo,
dear Mr.. Jules Verne, there never was a
person more widely astray in his premises
or farther from the truth in his conclu-
sions than you, either as to the novel in
general or the psychological novel in par
ticular. Even the poor, despised historical
novel Is fast grounded In the ignorance
and imbecility of the race, and it will not
be superseded by the newspaper story or
by every day fact masking as fiction. The
reporters coloring may be no cruder than
the romancer's, but his work is necessar-
lily more hurried. He writes with the
hungry linotyper at his elbow, ready to
digest his material in type and the press
vibrating with Impotence for his tale,
which must be unvarnished, however Wv
idly tinted. He is a good fellow, the re-
porter, and far better than some people
would have him believe, but his art in its
honesty is not invention; and when it be-
comes SO, it is false and bad. He can very
well develop on his own lines;, there Is
ever so much outcome in him; but any
one, even an aging and outworn novelist,
who would have him believe that he is in
any Wise. akin to the novelist, or even to
the lonely historian, hatters him to his
undoinS. .
Hamlin Garland says among other
things: ''The snap judgment of the report

abnormal In human life, will never become
q dangerous rival to the novelist who
works at leisure and in repose. verifying
what he writes from week to week as the
story unrolls. From the sociological stand
point, the newspaper deals too largely with
crime, with the abnormal, the diseased, to
be IN any sense a true chronicle of our
time. The really dangerous rival of the
novel, in my Judgment, Is the drama

black beady eyed woman, dancing in the
same set with Louise! kept sharp look
out that Mcknight got nowhere near her
charge. She WAS bounding like a rubber
ball through the figures, her small black
eyes swapping with delight. She could
afford to enjoy herself, for her attitude
toward Mcknight and her intentions con-
corning her husbands sister were matters
well known and clearly understood by all
present. The bachelor poulation Of the
county, disporting itself in the dance and
pretty much all either actual or potential
suitors Of Louise, lent willing and valu-
able assistance.
Gene Mcknight was the finest looking,
best hearted and sweetest tempered six
feet of masculinity on the whole Pack
saddle range. He was an inspired cattle
man and had come up rapidly from COW
puncher, wagon boss ranch boss, to have
a Moe bunch Of cattle and a good ranch
OF his own. "; When lovely Louise Morri-
hson,, then only II years old, came out to
stay with her brother lack on his Texas
ranch, the Open M, she became at once
in that community of eligible bachelor
hood, a belle and the possessor of many
desirable suitors. Gene, whose ranch,
the Lazy K, adjoined the Open M, soon
made it plain that she had his heart, and
the girl, artless and impulsive and with nc
vestige of the coquette in her makeup, al
lowed it to appear as plainly that her own
was given to Gene in exchange.
The disappointed SWANS took their de-
feat as becomes men, and all would now
