THE sEMi-cENTENNIAL OF ST
PAIIt

A large and representative gathering
Of st. Paul citizens last evening gave
their pronounced approval to the prop
osition that the f1ftieth anniversary Of
the foundation of the city be fittingly
observed next year. Their action
should, and no doubt will, be indorsed
by the people at large 1t remains
now for the committee which is to be
intrusted with the preliminary work
to map out plan that is feasible and
on such lines as will do justice to the
events to be commemorated.
For this celebration will mark the
appeal to the civic pride of the citizen
Of st. Paul, whether he boasts the dis
tinction Of being native son or not
1t will be at once commemorative Of
the beginning of the city and of the
foundation of Fort Smelling and will be
marked by the dedication of the mag
nificent pile which has been erected to
house the government of the great
state of Minnesota.
1t must be no niggardly affair. The
Northwest is very new and it's cele-
brations of anniversary occurrences
have not, so far, been calculated to i'm
press the beholder. The ST. Paul semi
centennial will be the most honorable
in point Of antiquity of the event
that warrants it that the Northwest
has yet seen. It will mark the
setting up of milestone in the high
way of the ages. We should do some
thing that will leave it's impress on our
own times as we'll as instruct and in
form posterity. A noble monument has
been provided to mark the event of
1904. The capitol will endure to look
down on future centennial events.
1t must be a notable event, this pro-
posed celebration. 1t must be so
planned that it will invite the attention
of the Northwest, and the men who
have it in charge must be inspired by
civic pride, patriotism and intelligence.
If these qualities be given to the car
rying out of the plan for celebration
it cannot fail, and the active spirits in
the movement may rest assured of the
hearty and substantial support of all
the people of st. Paul and the moral
support of the citizens of Minnesota
and the Northwest. ~ 4~

HARD ON OUR cANARIEs.

1t was midnight on the waste of wa
ters. The waves, lashed into frenzy by
the winds, fought fiendishly to stay the
progress of the good ship Frederick B.
Wells, Stone, master, Erie for Duluth,
laden, alack, with coal. 1t was such
night as would have done justice to
the pen of Laura Jean Libby had she
gone in for storms at sea rather than
those more destructive passions which
are continually rioting in the human
heart.
AS hereinbefore stated it was close
on the hour of twelve. The man at the
wheel stiffened his back against the
gale and emitted sundry nautical re-
marks that were too fast for the vora-'
cious reporter who was detailed to take
him. A sudden terrific gust, accom-
panied by a drenching and freezing
combination of sleet and mist, almost
laid the good ship on her beams end.
Then out of the darkness there came
sweetly piercing note of distress. The
mariner looked up in wonder There
came another note, hirdlike and pure,
yet distressed. The seaman made a re-
mark condemnatory Of his eyes and
ears. Then the air was filled with a
great flood of melody and the man at
the wheel became conscious of the fact
that he was being peIted with little
feathery missiles, all animate but help
less. He caught at one which peeped
and was dead. BLOW my binnaele."
said the mariner in the manner of Sir
Thomas Upton, eff we haven't run into
flock Of canary birds" He would
have added something about it being
"a rum co. but being mere fresh wa
ter sailor his knowledge of what to say
under such circumstances was not at
all equal to that of w. Clark Russell
1t was too true. The master of the
ship, having seen much service in the
Canary islands, easily identified the
birds as singers. He ordered the thou
sands of bcdiesT cast into the turbulent
waters. made ar entry in the log, saw

THE ENEMIES HE HAS MADE.

On a time the late Charles A. Dana
voiced the sentiments of a very large
and very respectable element in this
country in announcing that Cleveland
was to be loved for the enemies he had
made. If President Roosevelt was to
be loved for the same reason what a
remarkable mixed bunch of lovers he
would have
Having made an enemy of organized
labor he has very nearly gone the dis
tance. To curry favor with the very
people whom he now affronts Col.
Roosevelt, rather early in his presi-
Dental career, took occasion to de-
clare that he was opposed to the
trust. III practice this opposition took
the form of a shining desire to talk
against the trust but nothing came Of
the talk. He took a hand in the coal
strike-with what purpose it is not
necessary to inquire-and the outcome
hardly justified the promising declara-
tions. He maintained an attitued of
antagonism to combinations of what
ever nature and combinations throve
apace. He wrote letters and made
speeches and the people became con-
Vinced that there must be something
doing when something was promised
so profusely. Still nothing was doing
and the toiling masses for whose ben
eft the president talked and wrote
striving after his fashion-came to be-
aieve that perhaps there would be
nothing doing. This they became the
more convinced of when it was an
nounced that action on tariff revi-
sion should properly follow instead of
precede a presidential campaign.
Now it appears that organized labor
which represents in concrete form
those masses to whom the president
talked and wrote-has tired of prom
ises that are not backed by action and
Col. Roosevelt is in very bad odor in
deed in that quarter.
He thinks that he is hated of capi-
clare that it will none of him. His
party associates out of Office are not
affected to him; those in office are
afraid of him. Those of the people
who. are not identified with any of
these interests but who have been
waiting for the president to take up
and deal with some subject from some
some other than the academic point of
view are beginning to be worried
about him.
Col. Roosevelt appears to be carry
ing the idea of making himself beloved
for the enemies he has made to the
limit, He ought to settle down to one
line and stick to it.

ALL THE STEEL TRUST
BOATS WILL BE RETIRED
Result of One of the Most RemarkabI
Strikes of Recent Years.

Result of One of the Most Remarkable
Strikes of Recent Years.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 1S.-The big
fleet of the United States Steel corpora
ton, which has been tied up by the strike
of the Masters and Pilots association,
will be sent into winter quarters as rap
idly as the boats arrive at the layingup
ports. All crews with the exception of
just enough men, to get, the boats ready
for winter will be discharged. This is
the outcome of one of the most remark
able strikes in the history of the great
lakes, a strike in which all kinds Of
being made. A. b. Wolvin. general man
ager of the fleet, reached here last night
from Duluth
"Our attitude in this matter is entire
" passive" he said. 1--WE did not begin
the affair 1t is the other side which
started it. There is nothing for us to
do except tie the vessels up as fast as
the mates leave, and this we shall con-
tinue to do until the boats are all tied
In order to avoid being left at
ing called on vessels on Lake Su-
perior or at Escanaba. This gives the
mates an opportunity of getting a free
ride to points near home. 1t is expected
that the greater part of the steel trust
fleet will get around to be tied up by the
first of next week. What gives color TO
the charges of conspiracy is the coinci-
dence that nothing was heard of any dis
satisfaction on the part of the Masters
and Pilots association until the steel
corporation began using its boats to carry
coal and grain. With the very first char
ter in these trades the union made the
point that Capt Rae. of the steamer
Clemson, did not belong to the union and
carried non-union mates, one of whom
was his father. The Clemson had been in
service several weeks with the same cap
tain before this point was made. Then
the strike was ordered on the steel trust
fleet and none of its boats were able to
carry more than single cargo of coal
and grain before they were put out of
business by the strike.
The effect of the fight upon the freight
market will be favorable, although
change in rates is not expected. Vessel
men We're delighted today with the ex-
tTaordinary move of the steel trust in
putting its boats out of service Had these
boats been kept in the ore trade it would
not have made so much difference, but
the course of the management in sending
them out to carry coal and grain had a
marked influence in demoralizing bota
of those trades at critical time.

The Laws DELAY.

Judge Brewer suggests as a remedy
for lynching that appeals should be
denied in criminal cases. The chief
apology for the epidemic of mob law
is delay in the enforcement of law, Oft
en- secured through technicalities and
through appeals. Undoubtedly the re-
suit of increased promptitude in the
action of the courts would be favor
able, but until it is shown that rascals
are escaping the just penalties Of the
law and until it is shown that delays
end in compromising justice, the pre-
text of the mob supplies no reason.
Meantime. 1t is noted that while a
score or two Of Missouri boodIers have
been found guilty by juries, no one of
them has gone to the penitentiary-
but all of them are out on BAIL and
are to have new trials or postpone
ment or some other pretext. 1t would
seem that Judge Brewer ought to be
taken very seriously in Missouri
Boston Journal.

THE DAY OF THE DOG.

An enterprlSlng young woman VINO
dwells in New York city has commenc-
ed the publication of journal devoted
to the social life of dogs. The journal
will announce the comings and the 60
ings of the dogs just as the society
pages of larger journals announce the
comings and goings of their masters
and mistresses. Anecdotes of their
prowess, of their cleverness, of their
amiability will be printed. The young
woman starts out on her venture with
long list of patronesses and the
names Of all the fashionable dogs in
New York. Naturally the paper will be
exclusive. No ours of low degree will
be mentioned in its pages for a cur of
low degree seldom has delighted
mistress or master who is willing to
pay for the pleasure of reading what
his Jumbo has done or thought
That the day of the dog has really
arrived this young woman's venture is
not the only proof. And it is not only
the members of New Yorks smart set
who have helped him on. To only short
story writer's and long story writer's he
is indebted even more for his present
vogue. The dog has always been rec
ognized as the friend of man and an
excellent creature to have on the prem
ises when one occupies an isolated
house, but it is only recently that he
has been recognized as a social factor
and psychological study. The i'm
aginative Mr.. Davis has shown the
world what a dog may achieve even
when his 'scutcheon is marred by the
bar sinister. Mr.. London, equally de-
voted to the canine tribe and more
realistic, has made dog of less at
tractive type the principal character in
a diabolical tragedy.
AS for the long stories, the dog plays
an important part in these in modern
literature. When, in David Copper
field" Dora's little lapdog died the very
night of its mistress death, sympa-
thetic readers as they wept concluded,
doubtless, that this was the most to be
markable enough. When they read of
the faithfulness of Bill Sykes dog to
his brutal master they naturally con-
cIuded that doggish faithfulness could
go no further. But the dog who figures
as the hero in the modern dog story
must have the greatest contempt for
Dora's lapdog and Bill Sykes bulldog,
since compared with himself those 9TH
er dogs appear to be mere brute crea-
tions.
The friend of the dog will rejoice
that the dog is enjoying his day, and
will hope that as a result of it the
canine will not be unduly puffed up.
Already the dog who takes his outing
daily in his mistress carriage has ac-
quired a supercilious expression and a
naughty air. If the worship of the ca
nine continues he may cease to become
the friend of man and develop instead
into tyrant And tyrants invariably
die miserable death. So let Fido take
heed. The enterprising young woman
who has commenced the publication of
the dog journal in New York has
doubtless only one object in view, that
of earning her own living. But it is
possible that her journal will prove
the undoing of the dog, since it must
bring ridicuie upon him. Perhaps it
heralds the passing of the day of the
dog.
