HEREDITY.


"a posthumous poem, written for the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, by the late
Orth Stein.) E.
Twas in the merrie days of old.
At Stadgart, on the stored Rhine,
strolliIlg player so I'm told,
Married relative of mine.
The legend handed down is brief;
/ only know he won his bride,
Was poor, was proud beyond belief,
Knew all one woman's love-and died.
"A mime, a poet, God knows what
Besides, he played the violin,
Enough and more. I question not,
To vex MY honest kin.
Far out of all our sturdy race
OF pious plodding burgher stock,
We deem this man our one disgrace,
The black sheep of our flock.
"A shadowy mark for storm and ire,
A. warning specter, pale and dim:
His name comes down through son ane
sire,
AS folly's synonym.
Yet often in the tender gloom.
OF summer evenings, sweet and still,
When drowsy roses watt perfume
Across my window sin
I sense a sweep of unseen wings,
& Too delicate for earthly ears,
And down through space eternal, rings
The eternal music of the spheres.
And then. though any spoken word
Were all too gross to give it name
i know this dead mans soul has stirred
Within my ruder frame

Ian policy of the German government
The statement is important and reveals
to us some new views of that controversy
There seems to be no doubt that Germany
proposed to settle these claims by nego-
tiations through specially appointed com,
missioners and, falling in this effort to
refer the whole matter to The Hague trib,
unal., This proposition was made
as long ago as July 1901, but
flouted by President Castro. who
had, already. refused to make these
matters a subject of diplomatic adjust
ment Under these circumstances the re.
sort to force by the German government,
is not surprising, nor do the recent acts
for which the Germans have been severely
criticized, appear to be quite so mex

For Good Roads.

State Senator Stephens of Crookston
says the farmers want better roads and
are willing to pay for them, and he has,
therefore introduced into the legislature
a bill to encourage rural free delivery
Realizing that rural routes are slow to be
established, if at all, where roads are
bad, Senator Stephens would authorize
town supervisors, where 1t is known that
a rural delivery route is contemplated to
put roads in good condition for travel BY
reducing grades, building bridges and cul7
Verts and destroying weeds. /
The bill is in itself a proof of the wis
dom of the policy of the government in
using the rural free delivery service as
means Of stimulating road building. II
Mr.. Stephens did not actually know that
proposed routes in Minnesota had been
he would probably have never been stirred
up to introduce such bill. The prospect
Of free delivery is a great premium on
good roads.
While the legislature is getting inter-
ested in this subject we hope it will be wise
| enough to create a state highway com
mission and turn over to it the state road
and bridge funds, so that they may be SO
spent that we; shall have really improved
roads to show for them instead Of some
rough hurnmocks of mingled soc, C grass
and mud, euphemistically termed turn
pixies If the state can afford to spend
money on roads, it can afford to spend
it we'll Tn fact If can't afford to do any,
thing else. 1879. 4.

Billy had noted the hired carriage in which

corner to mail a letter. he had: seen the
cab waiting in side street. Returning
to his station on q hall bench, he noticed
that the voices which came in subdued
tones from the drawing-room, had in them
a note of suppressed excitement
Billie sat on his Sbench and fidgeted.
Then he deserted his post, stole into the
library: and noiselessly pushing back

Home Problem.

The election of a senator to succeed
Moses Clapp will not take place until
1905. Two years is a long time, even in
politics, and yet gossip is busy already
with the names Of possible candidates and
with the shaping of probable political
combinations. T h J urn l publishes
to-day two general reviews of state poll
tics, one from the local standpoint and
the other from the Washington stand
point.
+ There is only one phase of the situation
upon which it is desired to make any
comment at this time, that is the senator
1al. T h e o. a has no candidate
for senator. 1t would be glad to see a
suitable Hennepin county man selected for
that office. 1t is Minneapolis turn to
have a senator. This prosperous repub-
1ican center has been favored with repre-
sentation in the United States senate but
six years since the state was organized.
There has never been a time since the
state was organized that the city of st.
Paul has not been honored by the presence
of one of her citizens in the United States
was recognized in the last senatorial cam
paign by the state at large, and but for
one unfortunate feature Of that contest a
Minneapolis man would have been elected
It is Of that particular phase Of the situa-
tion which we desire to speak now.
AS stated above, r he Journal has
no candidate. 1t hopes to see a qualified
III,
But what Is particularly wishes to en-
sphasize is that no Minneapolis man is
likely to succeed unless he has back of
him the united support of this city.
How many candidates Minneapolis may
have cannot now be safely predicted. 1t
As no secret that there are several resi-
dents of this city who have senatorial as
spirations. 1t is no crime to entertain
an ambition of that character. But the
question which the republicans of this dis
.trict. should settle first and settle at home,
is. Which one of the different aspirants is
the best and most available man with
whom to enter a contest for the senator
ship?
The word contest is purposely selected.
1t canot be expected that this honor will
come to Minneapolis without a hard fight
Senator Clapp will undoubtedly wish to
succeed himself, and he Will prove an an
itagonist of no mean caliber. Entrenched
by possession of the office and the polit-
ical advantage which it gives, supported,
as he probably will be, by his colleague,
the task of unseating him will not be an
n easy one Such task it would be foolish
for any Minneapolis man to undertake
without the united and enthusiastic sup
port of his home district; and this is the
point which we wish to emphasize at this
time-that If we are to have senator
from Minneapolis we must settle at home e,
before we go into the legislature, any dit
ferences of opinion and any conflicting
preferences which may exist as to who
shall be the Hennepin candidate
S,rhe above suggests a line of policy for
which Hennepin is not noted but it is
