MR.. TAWNEY STANDS PAT.

Congressman James A. Tawney, who keeps his ear
SO very close to the ground that he can hear man
change his mind distance of four hundred miles, has
given Washington that the people of Minnesota
do any revision of the tariff until after the next
time politician, Mr. Tawneys ideas of economics
always adapted to political exigencies
The congressman the First district does not deny
that revision of the tariff necessary He practically
admits that it is But he holds the view that changes
in the tariff made for the good of the country
but to suit the requirement of the Republican party. His
first desire adjust legislation that will rebound
ITO the welfare of his party He takes e position that
the existing tariff has carried the party rather
rough roads He not that revised tariff would
perform the same duty. Hence the country must get
along under the present protective tariff because
might the protected manufacturers of trust
products draw tight the purse strings
Mr.. Tawney's political sagacty commands admfa
ton but it is not easy to admire the public who
frankly admits that the first consideration of the party
in power SO manipulate the affairs of government
that may power AS matter of fact the people
of the country sitting up nights worrying about
how the administration may be perpeuated They worry
much about how they to get the to live
decently and pay the exobtan that demanded
the price of the complasance of the protected
facturers.
TaWneys candor will be his undoing yet Unless he
keeps watch himself he will mix his speeches and
deliver lumber talk dairy convenon-and then his
place in Washington will know him

FAlSH|ED DIARY TO

by Inspectors Bennett and Jones' There
were several charges on file against
Mr.. Hedges, but none of these consti-
tuted the basis of his dismissal.
Mr.. Hedges was appointed to the pos
tai service from the Tenth congress
sional district of Texas on July l. 1898,
and was appointed superintendent of
free delivery July 3, 1891. His salary
was $4,000 year. He had charge of
the delivery service in the cities, the
rural free delivery service being under
another superintendent and both being
under the general supervision of Au-
gust W. Maclen.
What Hedges Has to Offer.

tendent of free delivery, with head

counts show me at other points, the
theory being that, strictly speaking,
under the law, I was not entitled to
per diem when at headquarters. This
has never been tested, consequently
never decided. 1t has been the prac-
tice Of the office for the party taking
the place of the head of the service to
claim per diem in some form. In my

Valentine is the one who used this
postoffice commission. 1t was used
with the knowledge of General Super
intendent Macflen and of First Assist
ant Postmaster General Johnson. VAL
entine was anxious to go out on field
work. Mr.. Bristow refused to allow
the issuance of commission for VAL
entine on the ground that he was a
clerk and not an officer. Mr.. Machen,
however, held that as Valentine was

We of the opinion that there will never be a

courts to refuse them a license should
one be asked for. No sooner had the
telephone message been received by
the deputy than the youthful lovers
presented themselves.
License Is Refused.
The license was refused and the
couple started for st. Paul, but the
aunt, not willing to take any chances,
had also telephoned Clerk Rogers, and
a notice was posted on the license win
dow calling the attention of the depu-
ties to the fact that no licenses should
be issued to the couple. Whether or
not the young man determined to go
elsewhere for license or whether he
decided to postpone the event could
not be learned yesterday, for he did not
apply for license in st. Paul.
When young Palmer's folks at Man
kato were made aware of the fact that
their son was in quest of a marriage
license they also took steps to frus-
trate his design, giving as the reason
that both he and the girl were alto
gether too young to marry. The family
was still trying to locate young Palmer
in the Twin Cities last night, but did
not succeed.
The boy is a son of George Palmer,
manager of the Hubbard mills at Man
kato, and very prominent both in the
business and social sets of that city,
while Miss Burgess is member of an
equally estimable family, who, previ-
Gus to their departure for Missouri,
moved in the best social circles of
Mankato. The only objection to the
marriage offered by either of the fam
lilies is the age of the lovers, who will
have to be content to live apart for
some time, unless they have better
success in getting married than they
had yesterday.

throne large number of deputation
prior to the levee.
Replying to the Dublin citizens COM
mittee, the king said there was no part
Of his dominions in which he took
greater interest than in Ireland. The
queen and himself had long been in
sympathy with the movements tend

hoped now to become acquainted with
the conditions under which the people
lived and to learn what could be done
to brighten the lot of the poor.
Replying jointly to the other adj
dresses. his majesty said he rejoiced to
hear of the awakened spirit of hope
and enterprise among his Irish people,
which was full of promise for the fu-
ture. 1t would be a source of pro-
found happiness to him if his reign
was coincident with a new era of So

the king returned to the vice regal

Stories They T ell

There was lively time in the rail-
road yards at the foot of Sibley street,
near the union depot Monday night.
Belated travellers stopped on their way
to street cars and hotels to listen and
to inquire what was the cause of the
commotion. A few of the most in
qulSltiye yentured into the uncertain
gloom to investigate.
The sight that met their peering eyes
convinced them that thirty men had
gone insane, for that seemed to them
the only reason for the peculiar actions
of the men. About the small switch
shanty that stands among the tracks
We're ranged, in wide circle, thirty
men, employees Of the depot yards.
Most of them had just finished their
days work, being dismissed at IL
O'Clock; the others were resting during
their midnight noon hour.
In his hand each man held tin can
in which Were rocks and pieces of iron.
AS the men continued shaking their
cans, producing volume of sound that

drew nearer the house closing up the
circle. Soon they surrounded it closely
and the changing and banging grew
more and more veciferous.
Inside the house sat man Sternly
disregarding the clamor. He might
have been in utter solitude as far as
any sign on his face, din1ly seen by the

window of the shanty. revealed. But

Finally they relented. In the shanty

interested spectator of the scene.

WANTS SEWER BEGUN
People Insist on Something Being Done
With the $4,000 Appropriated.

Fearful of losing the 100000 appro-
priated for their district a year ago
by the city council, st. Anthony Park
taxpayers are insisting on something
tangible in the matter of the big sew
er system proposed for their locality.
The sewer is to cost about 100000.
and because of the immense amount OF
work involved in the preparation OF
the abstract, nothing had been done in
the matter of hearings. Commissioner
Murphy, of the board of public works.
says that something definite regarding
the improvement will be done in few
weeks.
If the contract is not placed by the
close of the year the councilI will again
have to appropriate the money set
aside for it's construction and some OF
those interested are fearful of a streak
of economy which might materially re-
duce the size of their appropriation.
