Ono Man Power.

See what one man can do in COM
munity. There is general agreement
that the impelliDg force behind all the
exposure and punishment of municipal
corruption in St. Louis was District
Attorney Folk, blindly put into Office
by the very men he has since put into
Jail. Now it appears that this same
tremendous personal force ia furnish
ing the chief impulse of the exposure
and punishment Of the larger corrup-
ton in the Missouri legislature.
We don't know just how the prose-
cutting officer of a local court in St.
Louis is making his influence so pow
erfully felt in the state legislature at
Jefferson City, but there seems to be
no doubt about the fact. Not only is
the battering ram influence of District
Attorney Folk seen dimly behind every
practical movement in direction Of
purer legislation and better govern
ment; but the methods employed in
Jefferson City are precisely those he
made so successful in St. Louis.
For some days past Lieutenant Gov
ernor Lee has been holding the center
OF the stage in the bribery investiga-
ton. The lieutenant governor, hav-
ing no laborious official duties, was
chosen as the custodian and distrib-
utor of various Legislative CORFU otion
funds. Naturally he was the most i'm
portant witness and the keystone of
the whole arch. Naturally Mr. Folk
got after him, as he got after the head
center and purse holder of the hold-up
combine Ia the St. Louis council.
Lieutenant Governor Lee fed into hid.
ing, just as the city boodler fled to
Europe; but somehow the fatal fascin
alton of Folk drew him back and drew
his story out of him, just as it did in
the other case.
LIE is back In St. Louis and has re-
signed the Office he disgraced. He has
been cloeeted with the district attor-
ney, and it is reported that he has
made full written confession, which
is now in the possession of that COM
polling minister of justice. Nobody
seems to know just how the man does
these things; it is enough for his fell
low citizens that he has the power to
do them and the will to use it.-Min-
neapolis Tribune.

Democrats who Want Grover.

Special to St. Paul Globe:
PostvilIe, Pa, May 6.-The move
ment to place Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis in line for Grover Cleveland for
another presidential term is making
marked progress according to Archi-
bald Jones, who has charge of the
movement. Already the names of
10000 prominent democrats, all men
of influence in Central Pennsylvania,
have been subscribed to the papers.
The names will be presented to Ma
tional Committeeman Guffey and 9TH
or state leaders to show them the sen
timent of the party if it is necessa ry.
Action will, however, be taken inde-
pendently of these leaders.
"When We started this movement,
six weeks ago." said Mr.. Jones, sit
was received with ridicule in many
quarters. Now everybody knows we
are in earnest. It is probable that q
meeting of democrats in sympathy
with the movement will be held in
conjunction with the state convention
in September"

business. Pardee says he don't care;
he wants success.
Cleveland believes in using the gov
ernment troops to intimidate laborers;
Bryan denounces this use of power.
Pardee says it don't concern him; he
is yearning for success.
Cleveland represents the specially
privileged classes. Bryan represents
the aspirations of the toiling masses.
Pardee is willing to trot in either class
if it will only bring success.
And Pardee probably represents the
majority of politicians in the demo.
cratic party. 1t Is becoming more
and more evident that the only rea-
son why that class of politicians were
so anxious to appear friendly to pop
ulism in 1896 and 1900 was because it
promised success.
And as success did not come they
are now willing to throw those prin'
ciples overheard and adopt any old
line of action that promises success.

A WARNING FOR OTHERS.

The jury in the Ames case at Min.
neapolis returned verdict of "guil.
IT," after celebrating for twenty
four hours. Sentence will be pro-
bounced today.
The result is a great victory for
good government and morality. To
many it will come as a pleasant sur.
prise, for while there is probably no
person in the state that doubts the
guilt of Ames it is we'll known that he
has large army of sympathizers in
Minneapolis, and it was feared that
some OF them would get on the jury in
order to prevent an agreement.
Thus ends ingloriously career
that might have been really great.
Ames had many of the qualities that
go to make successful politician.

ner, all combined to make him popu-
lar with the people. Add to this that
ia his better days there was no man
with a larger sympathy for the poor,
and sympathy that showed itself not
in empty words but in deeds. Many
are the poor working people in Min
neapolis who have felt the sweet in
fluence OF that practical and unselfsh
sympathy. This accounts for the
great personal following that he al.
ways had. OF course, to this follow
ing must at least in later years be
added the lower element of society.
who wanted wide open policy for
vice and crime.
Four times he served as mayor of
Minneapolis. He has been a member
of the state Legislature, came within q
few votes of being elected governor in
1886, and was an aspirant for the vice
presidential nomination in 1883. No
matter how he shifted his political
base his personal following stuck by
him.
The one fault in his character was
the delusion that in order to be q
good fellOw' a man must necess arr
~ be immoral in his life. He is not
the only man who has entertained
that fatal notion, nor is his the only
bright career spoiled by this deluston.
This idea naturally made him CRAWL
tate towards the baser elements in the
city, and led him farther and farther
away from decency. In such sur
roundings it was no wonder that his
honesty should become corrupted.
Ruined in mind, body and reputa-
ton, health gone, wealth gone and
honor gone; with the state prison con-
fronting him, we can sympathize with
the man. But that sympathy should
not prevent due punishment. Dr..
Ames may have his redeeming features
that make US all feel sorry for him;
but justice must have it's course, to
teach all such as he that the public
will not tolerate rottenness and crime

panies intended to pursue such q
plan. A similar one WAS followed q
year ago, and the program for the
present season is in accordance with
it's provisions in this respect. Dur
ing the next four months it is expect
ed there will be an increase of ten
cents ton in the price of hard coal
each month, after which the price will
remain stationary, unless unforeseen
events occur.
The belief has been prevalent for
some time that even with a large sup
ply of fuel in sight the price would
not be materially lowered from that
maintained at the first of the year.
Dealers it is said, have a sufficient
number of orders on hand to meet the
expected supply that will be received
for some weeks.
The receipts of coal at the head of
the lakes continue to be the feature of
the lake situation here at present.
The report during the first week of the
season of navigation that 100 cargoes
were on the way of loading for the
head of the lakes was no idle rumor.
The first coal boat arrived April IL
and during the twenty days of navi-
CATION in that month ninety-nine car
goes were delivered here. They are
now coming in at the rate of about
$50, 600 tons, which is an extraor-
binary movement for the first twenty
three days of the season. The coal
docks are rushed to their utmost cap
acity and there are from three to six
boats at anchor all the time, waiting
an opportunity to unload.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN.

Reports from the New Thunder Mountain
Gold Fields grow steadily better. There win
undoubtedly be great rush into the district

the new discoveries Of free-milling ore had
only begun to leak out and before October
more than 20, 900 claims were filed.

WANT TO USE CLEVELAND.

While the Cleveland boom is assum-
ing proportions that surprise many
who at first took it for a joke, it may
not lead to the nomination of old Gro
YER. Nevertheless, it is very signii-
cant.
The same forces that boosted Grover
into the presidential chair in 1892 are
behind the movement in his favor now,
and for the same reason.
While the battlecry of that year was
tariff reform, the ones who lent the
most aid to the movement we're not
anxious for any reform in that line,
and they counted on the senate to
counteract any work done by the house
in that direction. The result showed
that they mad not miscalculated very
seriously in that matter, and that
Cleveland was able to deliver the
goods he had contracted to hand over.
By his bulldog pertinacity and by q
shameless use of patronage he was
able to force enough democrats into
the goldbug republican councils to
stop the purchase of silver.
What they want now is d new system
Of bank paper money, and they want
a man of Cleveland's stamp to help
them in this. They are not the least
bit afraid of any tariff reform result
ing from democratic victory, AZ the
senate is much stronger for protection
now than it was in 1892. It may be
necessary for them to take some other
man not so we'll known to the people.
They may use Cleveland as club to
force the opposing element to accept
some less obnoxious man with whom
the plutocrats have previously formed
secret treaty, but the result will be
the same If such q man should be
elected. It will mean putting the en-
tire power of issuing money into the
hands of the banking syndicate.
Undoubtedly there are thousands of
republican plutocrats who are ready
to aid in this work. They are for
themselves first and for their party
afterwards. If they can use the demo-
cratic party to rake their chestnuts out
OF the fire they will do so without COM
junction; and they won't care particu-
larly If the party doing it gets badly
burned. Such use of democratic
victory would probably mean the
death of the party, but If it serves
their purpose the plutocrats will shed
no tears over the grave of their tool.

ty. The end should be a warning to
public officials that the people will not
tolerate partner ,hip with crime. The
sad ending of this once so promising
career should be warning to young
men to avoid the paths of vice. Had
Ames never taken the first steps
towards a life of vice and drunken
ness he would not now in his old age
have to take the weary steps towards
q prison cell.
