SETTLE TT FOR GOOD

We find no reason why there should
be any further delay in compelling the
street railway company to perform it's
part of the contract with reference to
cleaning our streets. The terms of the
agreement are exceedingly plain. The
obligation is as sacred and as readily
enforced on the company's side as is
the obligation on the side of the public
to permit tracks to remain in place and
cars to run. For years and years the
public has been footing bills that the
street railway company should have
paid, and has been obliged to wait and
to badger it and finally to compromise
on part payment. This is not good
business or ordinary common sense.
The city council should act in this
matter finally and without delay A
bill for its share of the street cleaning
expenses should be rendered the street
railway company. and immediate pay
ment should be insisted upon. What
ever treasures are necessary TO put
this machinery in operation so effect
lively that no one would any longer
think of resisting it should be taken.
1t is not a matter in which there need
be any more feeling than about the
collection of any other debt 1t is sim
ply a question of ordinary business
dealing.
The street railway company has pail
tered and delayed and escaped a part
of it's obligations because it found the
city weak, vacillating and given over to
proerastination. The times and the
circumstances are such that this
should no longer continue. Let the
just charges stipulated in the bond be
assessed upon the street railway COM
pany, enforced and collection made.
We do not see why. there should be an
other weeks delay or another word
necessary upon this subject.

A coWARDLY EVASION

Congressman J.. Adam Bede is a man
whose feelings are evidently easily re-
ieved. He says that the eight-heur
declaration in the state Republican
platform takes weight off his mind.
He had been uncertain what to do
about the eight-hour bill before con-
gress. Many Of his constituents were
opposed to it. He was personally
friendly to it. Now he says that, 'the
Republican state convention having
gone ON record as favoring such a
measure his course is clearly defined
for him.
Mr.. Bede reads readily his own in
clination into platform declaration as
cowardly and as meaningless as any
ever found in these documents, little
noted as they are for sincerity. The
Republican partyof Minnesota never did
more contemplate thing than when it
framed this straddle on the eight hour
question. It is deliberately intended to
face both ways. 1t is meant to fool the
workingmen and capture the labor
unions by making them believe that it
stands for their demand 1t is meant
to fool the employer by pointing out to
him that it can be construed in his
favor, and offering a loophole to the
man who wishes to vote on the en-
pIoyers side while. he still claims that
he is standing faithfully on the plat
form.
Here is the straddle as it stands in
the declaration of the recent conven-
ton: .'rhe Republican party of Min
neseta recommends that eight hours
may be considered days work in all
works controlled by public authority"
The little joker in this is contained in
the words Fin all works. controlled by
public authority" and particularly in

They LISTEN TO HAY
Semi Centennial of Republi.
cans Is Celebrated

JACKSON, Mich. July Give
thousand people in Loomis park here
today celebrated the fftieth anniver-
sary Of the birth Of the Republican
party Under the Oaks in this city,
July 6, 1854. 1t was here on that date
that the first state convention acting
under the name of Republican" was
held. The state ticket nominated on
that day was elected.
Secretary of State John Hay, who
was private secretary to Abraham Lin
coin, the first Republican president,
was the first orator of the day. Other
distinguished guests present were:
Speaker Cannon, Of the national
house of representatives Senator C.
w. Fairbanks, of Indiana, Republican
candidate for vice president, and
United State Senators r. A. Alger and
j.. G. Burrows, OF Michigan.
Hon. j. c. O'Donnell, of Jackson,
presided. Senator Fairbanks gave an
address.
An interesting feature of the exer-
cises was body of Fremonters and
men who cast their ballots for the
Pathfinder for whom a thousand
prominent seats had been reserved.
Grand Army uniforms, crutches and
silvered locks We're conspicuous among
them.

At St. Paul Theafers

The play Catherine" from the
French of Henri Lavedan, which was
presented by Miss Percy Haswell and
her company last night at the Grand,
requires a we'll balanced company for
It's adequate presentation. That it did
not tax the resources of the stock COM
pany that played it last night is an
aggregation of players
catherine" is a familiar play to most
OF the theatergoers of this city 1t is
an emotional drama, French, but not
Parlslan in sentiment and morals, and
1t affords an excellent opportunity to
an actress as thoroughly equipped for
emotional work as is Miss Hasweil.
Her conception of the character of the
heroine, Catherine, is noticeable for it's
reserve, refinement and dignity. The
not large audience that attended the
performance last night showed their
appreciation of her artistic work by
frequent and hearty applause.
Mr.. Wyngate, who played opposite
Miss Haswell, made much of a very
trying role. The Duke of Contras fire.
quently acts like a cad, though the
playwright obviously intended him for
gentleman. Mr.. Wyngate acted with
great naturalness and succeeded in
leaving an excellent impression of the
character he presented when the final
curtain fell.
Miss Alice Butler, as the Duchess de
Contras, presented a most successful
picture of French noble woman of
the old regime. Miss Vaughn was pic
turesque and otherwise satisfying as
Helene. Alfred Hudson was excellent
as M. Vallon, the father; De Witt C.
Jennings played convincingly the part
of George Mantel. The remainder of
the cast was satisfactory. No unreadi-
ness on the part of the players marred
the performance.
Catherine" will be played the re-
mainder of the week with the exception
of Saturday night.
Owing to the numerous requests re-
ceived by Mr.. Fawcett and the Grand
management, and to the successful en-
gagement of that play, they have de-
cided to give a special performance on
Saturday evening of Or. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde" Catherine" will be pre-
scented tonight, tomorrow night and
Saturday matinee.
An elaborate production of Hall
Gaines religious drama, 1.-The Chris
tian,'' will be presented at the Grand
next week by Miss Percy Haswell and
the George Fawcett company. 1t will be
the biggest Offering that this organiza-
ton will attempt this summer.

THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1904.
THE SPIRIT OF THE CONVENTION

1t is already evidenced in the press
reports of the proceedings in the st.
Louis convention that the Democrats
of the United States are minded to
give intelligent earnest and patriotic
consideration to the grave questions
which the people of the country will
answer in their ballots next November.
There is a spirit in that convention
which may we'll make it an epoch
marking body. It's members are obvi-
ously imbued with the idea that upon
the Democracy has devoIved the duty
of presenting to the people the vital
political issues of the times. There is
nothing cut and dried about the con-
vention. The delegates have gone about
their work like men who knew they
had work to do and who proposed to
do that which seemed best, after fair
elaboration. Already the contrast be-
tween the Democratic national conven-
ton and that of the Republican party
held at Chicago two weeks ago is so
marked as to invite attention.
AS T he Globe has hitherto had
occasion to remark, the Republican
gathering was the most perfunctory
affair of the kind held in recent years.
The delegates assembled for the pur-
pose of listening to speeches prepared
far in advance according to set rules,
submitted for revision, and delivered
with the sole purpose of use as cam
paign documents. All of these speeches
We're furnished to the press in advance
of their delivery. The work of the
platform committee was completed in
Washington long before the convention
met. No Individual in the convention
had the courage to voice his conyic-
lions on the tariff unless they Jumped
with the ideas of the majority acting
for the protected industries. Of the
hundreds present who did not believe
in the policy or personality of Theo-
dore Roosevelt no man dared to ex-
press his unbelief. The convention was
absolutely under the thumb of one
man. There was nothing spontaneous
about it; the applause even was led by
a claque.
The st. Louis convention is different
in its composition and spirit 1t is a
deliberative body. 1t represents the
people, not the politicians, the office
holders and the protected industries.
Its business is to discuss ways and
means for advancing the cause OF. rep
resentative government, and to suggest
remedies for existing evils. No man
will be gagged. no interest or personal
ambition will be permitted TO interfere
with the will of the majority.
The Democrats may well exnect
much of this convention. 1t is more
thoroughly representative of the De-
nocracy and the people than any ma
tional body that has met for MANY
years. The brainiest men in the coun-
try are active in the work of the CON.
vention. Unless ali signs fail the St.
Louis gathering VIII present to the
people candidate and platform call
crlated to appeal to thinking men who
have a. heart the welfare Of the conn
try rather than desire to promote the
political fortunes Of the Keepers Of the
neshpcts.
