00SI iVM 'AVdSHniLL A GRAND RESULT. The celebration of Decoration day has nted an exceptional to the public view. Not only in St. Paul, imi throughout tin" entire country, has disposition been shown in a rema: degree to sink all considerations as to the side on which the buried fought The soldier who wore the gray, like his brother who struggled to preserve the Union, was an American. They disagreed on a question of national Interest and they fought the disagreeftnish.

Had the South won in the war of the rebellion would it have been any less dis- I to sink divisions of section and sentiment than aie the people of the Northtoday? Not one whit less will- Ing. The result would have been the i- or later. The American would seek reunion and would secured it. It would not have been to maintain two separate nacntitleti where before there was one free people. It would not have Seep practicable for the American people have remained divided.

Great as is the gulf of opinion which Jivides rhe two great sections of American political life, there is nothing in the nature of popular belief or disbelief to manent disagreement. All tioas and principles dearest to the' Southern people were averse to its tuation. It proclaimed the Declaratlon of Independence a lie. and kept the rial development of this continent back for generations. The disposition to sink the great disments of the past out of view and in treat the Suutfiern dead as we treat our own is a happy omen for the people of the entire country.

The war with wondrous changes in the point of view from which the people of the two sections regarded each other. vi auiju vi eouaseud aqj, Cuba and the Philippines of the heroes of the Confederacy like Gen. Wheeler, and the readiness of the Southern youth to enlist at the call for arms from Washington, sounded the death knell of the bitterness which survived the great civil war. Yesterday's celebrations mark an epoch In the relations of the people of the two sections. While there will ever be lisagreement, more or less radical, berween the people of the South and of the of the country on questions of econlomic, political and social concern, time n'ill briny the people closer together, and will not be many years before other lines of geographical division are.

found existing besides those which for practically a half century marked the great divergence of thought on public issues among the American people. Civil strife has taken place in every land extant. Every page of English history is stained with blood shed in civil strife. Not a century lias passed in the history of that now United people does not present a bloody record of armed Englishmen struggling for ascendancy against each other in the valleys and on the hillsides of the island. There surely is nothing in the issue which divided the Northern and Southern people in the 60's which should continue to operate to keep American men apart after full four decades have passed since they met in fratricidal strife.

WHAT THK SCHOOL BOARD SHOI'M) DO. The greater the liKht that is shed on. the recent transactions in connection with the supi rintemi'-ntship of schoois the more discreditably and injuriously does the conduct of certain person? prepint itself to view. The era of manipulation in local school affairs is far from bavins passed. In the transaction resulting in the withdrawal of Supt.

Smith there are hinted at which if fully known should arouse the active Intervention of every parent in the city who has a child in attendance at our Local schools. An lew published with one of the. school inspectors tells a good deal, it justifies fully and beyond all equivocation all that this paper has already urged on its readers in connection with Prof. Smith's withdrawal. It shows that board of school inspectors have by their inaction been made to occupy a false position before the public.

The Globe has faith in the board of school inspeo tors. It believes that they are a body of gentlemen who desire only the welfare and good came of the schools. It does not believe that the board desired Supt. Smith's resignation. That event, we think, was forced on them through the.

scheming of individuals who are set to do the work of certain interests pecuniarily concerned in the schools. There appears to be only one way In which the school inspectors can vindicate themselves, and that is to adopt the suggestion of the Globe, offered days ago, that they urge upon Supt. Smith tin- revocation of his letter of withdrawal, and his instant reappointment, if he can be Induced to cancel his withdrawal. 11 something of this kind is not done, the board of school Inspectors will find that they have opened a veritable Pandora's box, the contents of which will be a plague to them as long as they remain in office. THEM TO EARTH.

A more brutil or cowardly murder has rarely been committed than that by which almost an entire family were wiped out of existence in Anoka a day or two ago. The author or authors of thai designed it carefully. Every trace of evidence was prtibably carefully obliterated beforehand. Discovery has been guarded against at every point. It is for the discovery and punishment of crimes of this character that criminal law and police agencies exist.

It i.s the xistence of criminal- such as those who conceived and executed this bloody crime which offtrs the constant reminder to civilized men that the brute beast may ass the ascendant at any time in the human being, ami that nothing save constant vigilance will tveT suffice 10 keep it In subjection. From what slighi knowledge now exists as to the domestic affairs uf the family which was thus so cruelly assailed, ought not to be difficult to locate the real criminals. Whether it will bt possible to secure the necessary evidence is quite doubtful. Kut the motive which could animate any creature 10 commit such a crime ought not to be difficult to lind. The authorities of the state oi' Minnesota should take this matter under con sideration at once, if they have not already done go.

They certainly ought not to leave it to be attended to exclusively by the authorities of the village or even of the county of Anoka. With prompt and intelligent action there ought to ba a good prospect of bringing these fiends incarnate to justice. An apparently strong alibi is evidently available by the. man whom the head of the unfortunate family points tc as ihe probable author of the crime. Thai shoud not discourajro the authorities.

A good rcund reward in such cases usually bears fruit. It would be well if Gov. Lhici could see his way to offering a suitable reward for evidence which would lead to the conviction of the murderer or murderers of the Wise family. But whatever is done or by it may be done it becomes the duty of all authority, state and local, to locate if possible the authors of this butchery. Society has no real protection to offer its members where Fuch a deed passes unpunished.

It shoud bo followed unceasingly to its origin. No state can to have it said that within its borders human beings innocent of any conscious wrong can with impunity be shot down in ecld blood while assembled around the family circle. The people look to the authorities of the state of Minnesota to exhaust every effort to bring to the those who did those" inhuman murders, as well as those who abetted them. THE CHINESE BOXERS. The rebellion now prevailing in China is not unlikely to prove an event of paramount importance with reference to the future of the empire.

If it should prove to be the fact that the imperial authorities are in league with the rebellion. It will at once become plain to the nations who are seeking the partition of the empire that the time for positive action has come in the direction of asserting the paramount authority of the European powers. If, on the other hand, it should turn out that imperial authority Is either unwilling or unable to put an end to the rebellion, the case will be still stronger for European intervention. The action taken by the representatives of the United States is timely and proper. It looks to the protection of American property.

represents thus far at least? no such international Entangle- THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1900. ments as might call for precipitate action, or might deem it judicious to withhold action in view of possible complications. It Is difficult to understand how the Chinese Imperial authorities can hope to remain much longer in power in any event. The pretense among European nations of preserving the imperial sovereignty deceives none.

Imperial sovereignty, if it is unable in the present crisis to assert itself, is not worth considerin 1 at all. It will be swept out of existence just as soon as the European powers that have secured a foothold in China have decided for themselves upon some concerted plan of action which will put an end to the rule of the Dowagtr empress. The Boxers' rebellion Is a most reasonable expression of hostility to the presence and control of the foreigner. It is a patriotic movement. It is such a movement as that, did it not exist, or were there no other form of popular revolt among the Chinese against the progress of events in their country, the conclusion would be inevitable that the Chinese were unworthy of having any serious say in the future of their own country, save such as their European masters chcose tn allow them.

So far from treating the event, as certain ill informed American dailies are now doing, as one which springs from lawlessness and crime, the Boxers' rebellion is quite likely to serve the Chinese masses better than any rebellion which has taken place in the past. It is true, of course, that these men who have engaged in It are not unlikely, unless restrained, to indulge themselves in promiscuous slaughter. But, with the light that guides them, they are fighting for their own country, and to save it from the control of foreigners, as patriots have fought from the beginning. Provided it involves no loss or danger to Americans or American interests, there Is ample reason why disinterested civilized men should hope that the Chinese Boxers would be able to strike terror Into both the effete authority which stands for the empire, and those who stand by awaiting the partition of China. If these men are able to make any reasonable stand, they will secure concessions when the time comes which would otherwise not be extended to them.

THK Rl SH TO CAPE NOME. The month of June will find an appalling condition of things at Cape Nome. Scores of vessels will have landed upon barren shores thousands of men and women, hundreds thousands of tons of freight and thousands of head of live stock. Confusion and turmoil most confounded will prevail and the breezes from Bering sea will carry inland the curses of weary men and the cries of homesick women. There will be no accommodation for the well or the sick.

The hot sun of the short Arctic summer will beat down upon defenseless heads and chill winds will sweep in from the sea at night upon shelterless bodies. Hordes of fierce mosquitoes will fill the air and make life a -burden, but men will risk everything for yellow dross that moves the world. In the language of Flanagan, the campaign in Montana is "on again." Representatives of Clark and Daly are already in the field with knives and check books and grafters are in high glee. It is said that Clark intends to capture the legislature again this year and be re-elected senator if it costs him millions of dollars. Nothing in American political history compares with the present condition of things in is debauching and debasing the whole political fabric of the state.

The word candidate, says the Saturday Evenir.g Post, is from the Latin candidatus. Literally it means white robed, and it was thus called because in Rome those who sought office wore a glittering white- toga. Fancy, if you can, all our modern Americans dressed in accordance with their political ambitions. In some sections there would be no such thing as a dark suit of clothes; Washington would simply be one shining centre of universal whiteness. We owned Alaska since 1867, and nothing like adequate government has been given to the vast territory.

If congress is as long settling affairs in Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines as in Alaska the people of our new possessions will be kept guessing. AT THE THEATERS. METROPOLITAN. Tlip Valentine Stock company enters upon the last half week of their engagement at the Metropolitan opera house tonight, presenting "Romeo and Ju iet."

MOZART HALL. At Mozart hall last night the German Theater company presented a triple bill to a large and appreciative audience. There were both tragedy and comedy' and all patrons were pleased with the originality and spirit of the work done by the performers. The first presented was a short tragedy by Heyse, entitled "Ehrenschulden," the title defined in.

English meaning "Debts ot" Honor." The next was a comedy entitled. "Burgruine," meaning "Ruina of a Castle." The piece is by a favorite German comedy drama writer named Caro, and was probably better appreciated by the audience last night than any play of its class presented in this city. The performance terminated with z. grotesquely absurd and amusing comedy entitled "In Civil," meaning 'In Citizen's Clothing." Kadelburg is the author. Taken in its entirety the performance entertained the patronS thoroughly.

Next Sunday evening the four-act drama will be presented. Ctjat of tlje Capital Washington dossip, Politic ail Otfeerwise, fot the of fee Globe. May ffreat deal gossip regarding the Republtfen -Jjational convention at Philadelphia to Washington through various jjiburees. In this respect interesting Mfctory of past conventions is also Republicans from every sections the Union are visitors to and many of them, in interviews, indicate the feeling of the various constmjeriqfes they represent. A great deal gossip, while it may seem strangle isSanfavorable to the Republican national! ticket.

For instance, here is an Pntewiew which shows the condition in, at least, one state. "The Republicans: of are In the throes of ai fight that foreshadows anything but good to the Republican party." This statement was made by Col. Frank E. Priddy. of Adrian, Mich.

Col. Priddy i one of the foremost Republicans of Michigan. He has held positions of honor and trust in his state, and is thoroughly competent to talk of the conditions existing there. "Ther- is a fierce contest between the Pingrea and anti-Pingree elements over the nomination for governor," he said. "The candidate of the Pingree faction is our present secretary of state, Steams, and there is a likelihood of his winning over the other candidates, D.

M. Ferry, of Detroit, and A. F. Bliss, of "Will the factional disturbances endanger the success of the national ticket Col. Priddy was asked.

"That is a question that I cannot very well answer. Of course the Republicans I of Michigan realize that McKinley will be nominated, but there is a large ele- ment in the party that is finding it hard to reconcile itself to his policy in dealing with our colonial possessions. As to whether this element will break away from the party, 1 do not know. However I am inclined to believe that the Republican electorial ticket will carry. "The action of congress on the Porto Rlcan bill is going to make it hard for some of our representatives to return I am afraid.

Representative Weeks has a right smart fight on his hands.

The feeling was 30 strong against it in the district that when the bill came back to the house! i Smith changed his base, and voted against it.

One ballot only was necessary in toe convention of 1856. in Philadelphia which crave the nomination to William Dayton, of New Jersey. Lincoln was a candidate for vice president and had no votes, while Gen.

Tho other candidates were thereupon withdrawn a-id he was nominated by acclamation. In tBSO, Chester A. Arthur won easily on the first ballot. Elihu B. Washburn, Marshall Sewell and Horace Mayn ard were candidates, while Edmund Davis, of Texas; B.

K. Bruce and others received the scattering vote. The convention of ISS4 decided the vice presidency in a jiffy. Logan getting 773 votes to 7 for Lucius Fairch'ld, and 6 for Gresham on toe single ballot that was taken. The first ballot, which decided the contes-t in ISSB, gave.

ing votes were apportioned among Charles W. Lippiu, "of Rhode fsland; Speaker Reed, Chauncey M. Senator Thurston, Fred D. Grant and Levi P. Morton.

It 's stated here the question of the vice-presidential nomination has assumed proportions of a free-for-all fight, and friends of the several candidates are whooping things up each'for his favorite. The nomination, it is safe to predict, will not be made without a severe contest. Usually when there is a spirited canvass for the presidential nomination interest lags when it is time for the delegates to decide upon a vice-presidential candidate and the voting is more or less perfunctory. Not so will it be this year. The convention to be held in Philadelphia next month will make a choice from not less than half a score of avowed aspirants, and there is likely to be more than that ri-umber of names formally presented.

The delegates are human, and it is not unnatural that they shall want some fun for their money. The renomination of President McKinley will occupy only the tfm'e necessary for the nominating and-seconding speeches. There will be no calling of the roll of states for a vote. A delegate will move for a suspension of the rules, there will be a roaring chorus o1" "yeas" and President Mc- Kinley, in less time than it takes to tell, will again be declared the standard-bearer of his party; le hole thing can be an hour. No sensible observer of the trend of national politics believes that Gov.

Roosevelt will be able to cut much of a figure as a presidential candidate In the national convention, even if he has an ambition, as is charged, to cause a "rough rider" stampede in his behalf. At the same lime, no one who knows Gov. Roosevelt will for an instant be surprised if an attempt is made by his friends to exploit him in the convention. There is little doubt that the governor inwardly ffcgjg a jfl wr athy because he has not been selected to present President McKinley'a name. The men wha are looking after McKinley's interests are shrewd and far-seeing, and they propose that nothing shall with the presidential programmer as mapped out.

For Roosevelt to fully understand that he is regarded with suspicion by President McKinley, Hanna and administration Republicans generally, he only has to go back a few months to the annual banquet of the Ohio Society of New York. Milton Southard, who used to be a member of congress from a district adjoining that of the and who served with him in the house, is president of the Ohio society. Among the members are half a hundred, at least, of- former Ohioans who have been identified with national politics. They are all personal friends of the president. On the occasion mentioned Gov.

Roosevelt was fairly snubbed, it is stated, by the invitation committee, while Lieut. Gov. Woodruff was given a place of honor near to the president and assigned to respond to one of the leading toasts. It is known that Gov. Roosevelt resented this treatment, although he maintained a strict silence when approached on the subject.

It is openly charged by some that Woodruffs candidacy for the vice-presidency was prompted by friends of President McKinley, not with any thought of according him the nomination, but for the purpose of dividing the Republicans of New York state, which should act as a barrier to any presidential ambitions Roosevelt might develop. S. Van Antwerp. A LITTLE LOCAL POLITICS. Frank Robert, chief deputy sheriff, yesterday morning tendered his resignation to Sheriff Wagener, to take effect June 1.

Mr. Robert has accepted a position with the Hamm Brewing company. Mr. Robert went into the sheriff's office i when John Wagener took hold, in January, 1897, and started as outside deputy. Three months later he was made clerk in I the office; on July 1 of the same he took the place nuide vacant by the death I of George Allen, then deputy sheriff.

Mr. Robert has always been prominent in Democratic politics, and for a long time he was clerk of the probate court. Four years ago Mr. Robert received the nomination on the Democratic ticket for probate judge, but was defeated. It is believed thaf Edward Dahl, who is clerk in the sheriff's office at the present time, will succeed to the vacancy.

The new city council will be peculiarly divided as to wards. The more fortunate I districts are the Eighth and Ninth wards. I The Eighth has Warner and Whitcomb. assemblymen, and Bantz, alderman; the Ninth has Benson and Haas, men, and Murphy, alderman. The Second, Third and Seventh will not have representation in the assembly.

The state central committee of the silver Republicans will meet Tuesday at 201 New York Life building, Minneapolis. It is expected Minnesota will send 150 delegates to Kansas City. Judge John H. Steele, chairman of the state central committee, has confirmed the reports that he is to be a candidate for the Republican nomination to the district bench. The friends of Mayor Gray, of Minneapolis, insist that he will defeat P.

B. Winston in the fight for deleg'ate-et-laree to tb.3 national Democratic convention. The claim has been made by the opponents of the present mayor who are working for Mr. Winston that Mr. Win: ton is strong in the outside counties, but the friends of Gray insist that the Democratic politicians of the state do not view with favor the name of Winston.

TALK OF THE TOWN. Tuesday evening passers by were attracted by Strange actions of a horse tied to a lamp post on Fifth street across from the Windsor. Tho animal kept up a continual whinnying and William Hayes, of the Windsor. loosened the strap and it indicated an appreciation almost human. The horse pawed the ground and neighed and Mr.

Hayes came to the conclusion that a few quarts of oats would have a very-salutary el He drove the rig over to Schroeder'a livery barn and further investigation developed the fact that the horse had been left standing from 9 o'clock in the morning until Mr. Hayes found it at '11 m. without food or water. The risr was the property of a contractor, who forgot all about the animal. While Paderewski was paid in the neighborhood of $175,000 for his recent American engagement, he hr.tes the jingle of money.

Judjje Allen was to have arrived in the city at noon yesttrday, but a delay in his traii prevented his being in the city on He reached the city after 3 o'clock, and, after registering at the Ryan, was met by Exalted Ruler Mitchell, of Lodge No. 59, and takon to various points of int-rest about the city. No formal programme of entertainment was attempted. Judge Allen is in the city en route West, and will return again in time to participate in the exercises connected with the exposition and carnival, which opens June 18. Decoration day observances had no effect on the work of the committees having in charge the work of preparing for thi Elks' carnival.

As a result of the unlooked for demand of business men for for booths, it was announced by C. P. Stine, chairman of the concessions and privileges' committee, that 1,000 extra feet of space will be added to that provided for under the first calculation. Applications for space have been received from business men in Mississippi and in A committee on decorations has been prosecuting successfully the work of a canvass of the business houses of the city for the purpose of receiving promises that buildings should be decorated during the carnival, with the colors of the order of Elks. Promises were made favorably In almost every instance, and it is expected the down town district will be a blaze of flags and purple bunting.

The work of the country weekly newspapers in giving the carnival the advertising asked for by the committee will it is have the effect of sending large delegations from the small towns and cities.
