A NOTABLE OMISSION.

In the general jollif1cation and self
congratulation INDUCED in by the Lin
coin Republican club on the occasion
of it's banquet at st. Paul Friday
night the absence Of one name from
the list of Republican heroes was no.
table. The orators recited the glories
of the party and it's achievements; it's
men and it's measures. They told of
Lincoln, of Grant, of Garfield, of Blaine,
of Mckinley and of Roosevelt. They
spoke of Davis, they toasted Nelson
and Clapp and they thrust Fred Ste
vens into the spotlight. But what of
Van SAINT? What of the modern Don
Quixote who mounted the steed of
popular gullibiIity and single handed
and alone attempted to turn back the
progress of half a century? What Of
the man who "seen his duty and done
it?" What of him who is trying all
the articles of the politician to per-
petuate his demagogic theories in
state affairs? His name was not men
toned; he has no place in the galaxy
of Republican statesmen whom Repub-
licans delight to honor. Back to the
steamboat, Capt. Van SAINT!

MACHEN CASE NEARLY

Attorney Purdy, for the Government,
Will Make Opening Argument Today.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 15.-The
submission of prayers was concluded
at the postal trial today One of the
prayers which was granted to the de-
Tense instructs that the jury may con-
slider the fact that other devices Of
fered to the postoffice department in
place of the Croft fasteners were in
Engagements, and may consider wheth-
er person holding an office like
Machen's would reasonably purchase
a device that so infringed. The jury
will also be instructed that if they
believe that Macfren, of his own Volt
ton, and without any suggestion from
a superior officer, reduced the price
Of the Croft fastener from $3.50 to
slips, they should consider that fact
as bearing on the good faith Of the
purchases of the fasteners and as tend
ing to disprove the existence of any
unlawful contract
The arguments will begin tomor-
row. Special Attorney Purdy, for the
government, making the opening one.
Special Attorney Conrad, for the gov
eminent, will make the closing argu-
ment. The case probably will go to

of the failure of all negotiations to pre-

both sides and their apparent willing
ness to make any sacrifice to win, are
accounted for when one is in possess
sion of this key to the situation. 1t is
the greatest remaining prize of the
world that is fought for. No petty AL
SAGE and Lorraine are here to be trans

people who by sheer force of num-

sources as it is comparatively unde-
veloped and capable of being made to

MARCUS ALoNzo HANNA.

In the death of Senator Hanna the
Republican party loses its only really
able leader and the nation is deprived
of the services of a citizen whose keen
and resourceful intellect made him one
of the foremost men of his times.
Quarrel as we might with Senator
Hanna's politics it must be admitted
that he came very near to being
great man. With a tremendous per-
sonal following of men utterly devoted
to him he was a power to be reckoned
with in public affairs, and his nod was
worth more than all the striving of
the other men of his party. He was
a self-made man in the best sense of
that abused term, and it is very prob
able that, had he lived, he might have
attained the presidency.
The cutting off of such a man as
Senator Hanna proved himself is dis
tinctly blow to the country. He was
not a great statesman, but he was es-
sentially safe man, and the Repub-
lican party was certain of restraint
at his hands when Senator Hanna's
contemporaries inclined to use its
power to the detriment of the nations
interests.
History will give Marcus Alonzo
Hanna place as a political genius
and a broad, whole-souIed American.

Contemporary Comment
Eliot on Picketinq.

Prof. Eliot is quite right in saying
there is no such thing as peaceful
picketing." and Sthat under ordinary
conditions it is simply the first step to-
ward intimidation and violence. 1t is
also beyond question that in general
way the labor leaders are aware of this,
but they have also not little reason
for realizing that the chance of failure
in strike is materially reduced if it
can employ Intimidation and violence
as coercive force Because immediate
success is ordinarily, as President Eliot
suggests. morR sought after than the
development of a broad future policy,
p1cketing will be resorted to when
strikes occur if the courts and the pub
lie authorities are willing to sanction it.

CONGRESSMAN
Gives Up His Seat Because
Elected by Fraud.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 15.-In
voluntarily reIinquishing his seat as a
member of the house of representa-
tives, Mr.. Shafroth (Dem.), of the First
district of Colorado, furnished a pro-
found sensation today. The manner
and words Of the Colorado member
fairly took the breath Of the house as
he proceeded to present the first case
on record where a member of that
body gave up his seat, acknowledging
that his election had been tainted by
fraud. For this fraud, Mr.. Shafroth
declared, he was not in any way re-
sponsible, nor was he aware that it had
been perpetrated until the evidence had
been adduced by the elections commit
tee of the house. 1t was not done, he
said, for the purpose of causing his
election. AS he announced the conclu-
sion of eight years service in this
manner, most unsatisfactory to him
self, his voice betOkened the emotion
he felt.
The hush which followed over the
floor and galleries became almost pain
full. But when he sat down with words
of thanks on his lips for the treatment
he had received from both sides of the
chamber, applause burst forth and con-
tinued long and hearty. The Demo-
cratic members rose almost en- maSSe
and extended personal expressions Of
sympathy and encouragement.
Mr.. Olmsted. chairman of the COM
mittee of election, recognized the ex-
traOrdinary phase the case had taken.
The investigation by his committee ex-
onerated Mr. Shafroth from any blame
for the frauds which had been revealed.
The stand ne had taken, he said, was a
most unusual one. Following the sug-
pf n Lo ~
Mr.. Olmsted hastily drew up the proper
resolution for his unseating and the
seating of Mr.. Boynge, and this was
agreed to with silent assent, where
upon the house adjourned.
Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural
department, relinquished seat in the
house to B. l.. Frederick, a contestant
in 1885, in order that the bill to make
Gen. Grant a full general on the retired
list might be passed.

VOTE TO RETAIN
BALFOUR IN PLACE
Morley's Amendment Defeat.
ed lrishmen Going Against
the Government.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-By a majority
of fifty-one the house of commons to-
night defeated John Morley's amend
ment TO the address in reply to the
speech from the throne, censuring the
governments fiscal policy, which was
moved by Mr.. Morley on behalf of the
opposition There were 276 votes in
favor of the amendment and 327
against 1t.
This result was a foregone conclu-
sion. The opposition did not enter
tain any idea that it would be posi-
BILE to GUST the Conservatives. The di-
vision took the form Of a vote of want
of confidence in the government, which
impelled many UniOnists who disagree
with the idea of protection to vote to
keep Premier Balfour in power. While
Mr.. Balfour's absence was keenly felt
it was perhaps a source of strength to
his party, as without any defined fiscal
declaration from the premier, many
of his supporters felt justified in up
holding the government. Joseph Cham
berlain also was absent. A general
election is now expected in the au-
tumn.
The action of the Irish party in
voting solidly against the government
was tonight thus explained by John
Redmond, Irish leader:
ireland has suffered in the past
equally from the protectionist as from
the free trade policy of England. We
are determined to use the cOmplica-
tons which have arisen in the Eng
lish parties solely for the purpose Of
forwarding the cause of home rule
We voted against the government to-
night, not on the merits of Mr.. Nor
ley's amendment, but because we re-
garded it vote of want of confidence
in the government. We shall strike
in the same way against every govern
ment, no matter what party it may be
drawn from, so long as home rule is
