defeated Mr.. German fce chairman of the
platform committee. made waste paper of
the Cleveland tariff plank straddle and
prepared plank himself which upheld the
message from which Mr.. Cleveland was
l;trying to escape. The thing was done SO
easily 1t looked like a mere twist of the
wrist. and 1t made Mr.. Cleveland and his
special envoy look very small.
But since then a change has come over
the spirit of the democratic party. Mr..
Germans tariff views are now the accepted
views Of the democracy. II search among
his old papers would produce a draft of
that old rejected tariff plank. he ought to
make It, and carry the document a second
time to st. Louis. Everything promises
success for 1t now. The Star Eyed Goddess
has been dethroned and become a sort of
Bluegrass Liliuokalani. Her favorite knight
is today German man. and would be glad
of an opportunity to support the Maryland
leader for President. Protection per Sc has
lost its terrors. Even the robber barons, 1t
is agreed, are entitled to life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness.
But there is one thing lacking. Mr.. Wat
terson will not be at st. Louis to meet Mr..
icai assemblies. and announces that he has
taken leave OF them. And yet the KEN
lucky democrats could not do q better thing
for themselves or for the convention than
draft him for this occasion. Harmony is
the watchword and what exhibition of
harmony would be so effective as that of
Arthur p. German representing Maryland
and Henry Watterson Kentucky. on the
platform committee, the former this time
the chairman, and the latter accepting In q
spirit of Cancellation the deliverance which
sixteen years ago he rejected at Mr.. Cor
mans hands? That would spell Harmony

Memorial Day.

From the dome of the Capitol today float
four flags. pointing north. south. east and
west, an appropriate symbol of the reunion
and the present closeness of the sections
of the country. In the cemeteries where
lie those who fell in the civil war flowers
are strewn alike upon the graves of federal
and confederate dead. another token of the
unity OF the people. Orators at these gath
erlng places express without reservation
the spirit of the day in terms of complete
understanding and forgiveness. of gratitude
for the result and unbounded hope for the
future Memorial day thus becomes more
than an occasion of mourning. of lamenta-
lions for those who have gone. 1t is a
day of gratitude for the fruits of the sacri-
fees entailed by the war. The graves that
are decorated today signify not loss, but
gain. the gain of a solid ground of perma-
nent union.
If the issue between the states could have
been settled by peaceful arbitration, if
slavery could have been restricted and grad
ually abolished. If the splitting question of
the right of the individual state to leave
the Union at will, to stand by itself or to
join with others in combination. could have
been answered in the negative without re-
sort to arms, the war of the sixties would
not have been fought and todly's substan-
tial foundations would have been more
cheaply gained. The lives and the vast
fortunes spent in the struggle would have
been put to better use, to advance the well
fare of the whole people But conditions
prevented such settlement. Many be-
lieve today that war was inevitable. that
nothing could possibly have prevented the
great collision. Certainly when the war
was concluded, when Grant and Lee met
at Appomattox, the issue was settled for
all time. The lives and the treasures had
not been spent vainly.
Thirty-nne years have passed since the
last shot was fired, thirty-nine years of
prosperity and advancement, of steadily
ing between the sections. Men of the south
march today with men of the north in the
ranks of the army serve side by side in the
civil departments, join hands at reunions
Of veterans of the war; kneel together at
the graves which are today being honored.
The great peace is more than sentiment
1t is a permanent fact. 1t cannot be de-
stroyed by the pessmism of a few indi-
viduals. Every flower that drops today on
or of the SOUTH strengthens the bond be-
tween the states.
General Grant, dying, murmured: Let us
have peace" He prayed not in vain. The
south today respects his grave and bows
reverently before it, as the north before
chat of Robert E. Lee. Memorial day is in
truth a factor for the perpetuation of the
republic.

Matthew Stanley Quay.

Mr. Quay was as distinctly as ever man
was the product of his environment. He
established no conditions, but enlarged and
strengthened for his own purposes those
he found In existence. He was neither a
saint nor statesman, nor did he pretend
to be either. Politics with him was game,
and through hard study and the sharpening
of native gifts he made himself a master
of it. Within his sphere he had many re-
sources and he drew upon them at times
with startling audacity. He was king
of the caucus. What he wanted done he
contrived to secure at the hands of his
lieutenants, and the man who served him
faithfully and successfully was sure OF
reward. This gave him reputation among
party hustlers which he capitalized at
high figure, until he became supreme in the
republican party Of the keystone state.
1t would not be proper to say. until he be-
came supreme In the republican councils
of the state. for he abolished those things.
Councils did not go with Mr.. Quay. His
orders were the party law.
A certain kind of courage goes with this
sort of masterfulness. and Mr.. Quay was
abundantly stocked with it, His operations
were frequently in the boldest defiance OF
public opinion and the accepted canons OF
conduct He often made the law for HIM
self. as he did for others. He never quailed
under attack. When the Senate ten years
ago marched, Indian file past committee
of it's own members replying to the charge
that senators had speculated in sugar stock
while the sugar schedule of the former
Wilson bill was before that body, Mr..
Quay responding for himself, replied with
out hesitation in the affirmative. and he
stood alone Nobody smiled at his reply.
which cannot be said of some of the other
replies. Nobody was surprised in his case,
and the confession did not iniure him at
home And who but this man could have
survived the disclosures in the case of that
bank failure in Philadelphia in 1898, and
his subsequent Indictment by grand jury?
1t is said there are no shoulders in the re-
publican party of Pennsylvania capable Of
wearing the mantle Mr.. Quay has left.
This. if true, will prove a blessing to the
state. He was supreme in his day, but
that day is, or ought to be, past. There
are abuses in the conduct of public BUSH
ness in Pennsylvania which have been
pointed out with the utmost frankness and
the fullest detail by republican newspapers
of the state, and now should come the OPP
portunity for their correction. While Mr..
Quay lived it was impossible to change the
old order. Now that he is gone, 1t should
give place to new.

Memorial Dav.

by the rising and future generations by its
outcome-a firmly reunited and indivisible
nation-not by the sacrifices which it en-
tailed. 1t is fitting that the participants in
the great struggle which led to this result
should take the initiative In the national
ization Of Memorial day by making the cele-
bratfon thereof one in which no echo of a
happily ended and forgotten sectionalism

STAMPS OUT COMP PETITION
GOVERNMENT FILES SUIT AT ST.
PAUL AGAINST ALLEGED
PAPER COMBINE.

st. Paul, Dec. 29.-Proceedings have
been begun in the United States cir
cult court for the district of Minnesota
for the dissolution of the so called
paper manufacturers trust, which
since 1900 is alleged to have fixed
prices and controlled the output Of
paper in Illinois, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Missouri and other
states west of the Mississippi river.
The proceedings were brought in the
name of the United States as COM
plainant by William H. Moody, attor-
ney general, and Frank B. Kellogg of
st. Paul and James M. Beck OF Phila-
delphia special assistant attorneys
general of the United States.
MI. kellogg and Charles G. Houpt,
United States attorney for the district
of Minnesota, applied to Judge Loeb
rem and secured an order for service
of process outside the district. The
case will be heard in ST. Paul, either
before Judge Lochren or the circuit
court of appeals.
The defendants are the General Pa
per company, a corporation organized
in 1900 under the laws of Wisconsin
to act as sales agent for and to regu-
late the output Of tWenty-three North
western manufacturers, the Manufac-
turers' Paper company of Chicago as
sales agent of number of Eastern
manufacturers, and the tWenty-three
manufacturers. Nine
teen of the Northwestern companies
are located in Wisconsin, three are
located in Minnesota and one is To-
Gated in Michigan.
Practically every paper mill in the
Northwest making news print paper is
a member of the combine On some
occasions there have been shutdowns
ordered throughout some districts, as,
for instance, in the Fox River valley,
and on these occasions it would be
announced that a shortage of water
was the cause. The general suppose
ton was, however, that it was to
equalize the business The company
handled about 50O,000,000 pounds Of
paper last year.
