From time tf time newspaper readers are informed of the intention of certain leaders of the Democratic party to con tinue in their political conduct on the lines which have marked their rareers for the past eight years. Many, Indeed most, of them honestly believe that .no other course is consistent with devotion to the principles of the party. They hive seen every Eastern state, every stafe of importance on the Pacific slope, every state in the Middle West, and at least one distinctively Southern state wrested from attachment to the party during that period. Yet they continue to believe that the true course for the party is the one which it has pursued with such pal pably disastrous results. The Democratic party was virtually exiled from power in national affairs from ISCO to 18S4. At intervals the people of the country showed their dissatis faction with the party in power, by re turning a Democratic majority to either one or other of the houses of congress during that period. In 1576 the presidency was won and stolen. Both by popular and electoral vote did the American peo ple of that day declare their desire to re turn the Democracy to power Will any of the gentlemen who are now advising continual recourse to the policies and principles of the past eight years, ask themselves whether the Democracy of Samuel J. Tilden was or is the Democ racy of William J. Bryan? Eight years afterwards the people defeated James J. Blame and elected Grover Cleveland. This they did again eight years after wards. No one will pretend on either side that the Democracy of G-over Cleveland and of William J. Bryan were alike; and while there may be some disagreement as to whether Tilden and Cleveland repre sented the same party and national pol icies, the bulk of active Democrats who voted for both these leaders believe that both stood for the true Democratic prin ciple. . -Dili , ■-. But let us leave Mr. Cleveland out of the matter entirely. Is there a man in the entire country today who will say that Samuel J. Tilden was not an au thorized and representative Democratic leader, worthy of all principles and tradi tions of Thomas Jefferson himself? Why then is it that the Democracy of Samuel J. Tilden held the faith and support of such great producing centers of American life as New York, New Jersey, Connecti cut, Indiana and California,, together with the entire South; while all the states named have shown during two successive presidential elections that they will have none of Mr. Bryan or his teachings, and that during his ascendency the party has been in a hopeless minority in both branches of congress. The Globe does not ask these ques tions in any spirit of crimination. It no more believes in turning the party con trol over to the men of the Eastern states, or to those who have been forced out of the party with Mr. Bryan's ad vent, than it does in seeing any other section or division of party leadership in control. It wants a united party; and in all sincerity it tells those who still per sist in repudiated party doctrines and policies that there can be no united party as long as they maintain the attitude which they assume today. They are not their brothers' keepers. Neither are they the keepers of the Democratic con science or of Democratic principles and traditions. Giving them and their chosen leader credit for all the sincerity of honorable and earnest men, it would be folly for any aggregation of men unites"! for the advancement of given social and political principles through party action to persist in courses which after two suc cessive trials for the presidency, and" after a long series of state defeats, are shown to be unacceptable to the country. Time will no doubt work out an adjust ment of the difficulties which now control our party. Forty years ago, . as twenty years before that, the Democratic party was rent in twain. But it survived, a_:d it will survive. There may be a separation of political units which will drive many who are. now professed Democrats out of the party,, and others who are now pro fessed Republicans into it. But the party will regain its integrity, and once more assert its right to be regarded as the party of the American constitution, and the great conservator in the actual ad ministration of government of the civil rights of the individual. No man who wishes to see that event realized in his day can give either countenance or sup port to the radical and' thoughtless ut terances of those who would have us fight again in 1904 the losing battles of 1896 \ and 1900. - . - . INTERVENTION. The French have given Mr. Kruger a rousing reception. They do hate Eng land and they certainly could not have wished for a more ideal occasion to vent their^ spite. And that is about all there is to it. England is not paying any attention to these -demonstrations for they are perfectly harmless. England is willing that the French should amuse themselves" os long as they don't hurt anybody, and it isn't at all likely that anything serious in the way of interven tion for the Boers should result. Such intervention would naturally mean war, and while France might be willing enough, she could hardly under take it single-handed. She would have to look to her ally, Russia, for support; but Russia finds it much to her advan tage to maintain peace, and will, there fore, put a decisive damper on any warlike symptoms that France might develop. Rabid Anglophobes, of course, do speak of the possiblity Of a continental Euro pean alliance against England, but it is not likely that Germany could ever afford to take part in a plot to ruin England. England and Germany, of course, do hate each other more or less on ac count of their commercial rivalry, yet each is absolutely indispensable to the other, for if either one of them should drop out of existence, Russia and France would take the remaining one as be tween two millstones and grind the life out of her. Moreover, for any one of the powers to assume the role of champion of the weak and oppressed and intervene on that ground, would hardly conform to the eternal fitness of things. Every one of them would appear very much out of place in such a role. The two provinces of Alsace and Lorraine which Germany took from France in 1871, of course originally and historically be longed to Germany, but during the cen turies- of French occupation, the people had become thoroughly French senti ment and objected to becoming German just as strongly as the Boers object to becoming English. Then in eastern Germany the two provinces of Guesen and Posen are . inhabited by several million Poles, the greater part of whom, after more than, a century of subjection, still harbor an Intense Polish national sentiment. For Russia to assume such a role would involve such a prodigious piece of in congruity that she is not likely to at tempt it. Nearly half of Russia's popu lation is composed of subject and con quered races, and" any attempts at re bellion on their part have already been crushed with brutal force. To the Finns, Letts, Lithuanians and Poles, ground down as they are under the iron heel of Russian oppression, it would seem quite incomprehensible to see Russia pass herself off as the cham pion of the oppressed abroad. Americans, too, can hardly afford to work themselves into a fine frenzy of sentiment over the fate of the Boers. It would smack too much of the mock heroic on our part. We are not in posi tion to throw stones at, John Bull. If we tried to, we'd be likely to smash our own plate glass. The Boers, of course, take this matter very tragically - and their heroic struggle deserves all credit, but Great--.Dritian will : probably give them just as much liberty as we shall give to the Porto Ricans and Filipinol.. LXLOOICED FOR SUCCESS. There never was a great national un dertaking -which started under more fa vorable auspices than the Paris Exposi tion: It was opened at a time when the public opinion of the world was adverse to France, and when even in the United States there were heard many threats of boycotting. The Dreyfus persecution had wrought up the American people to a feeling of positive hostility, while the difficulty between England and France regarding African territorial rights, and the bitter feeling evoked between the two races concerning the Boer war, was sufficient to determine the English people upon staring away from the great fair. Failure, financially and otherwise, was universally predicted. Many exhibits which would have been sent to Paris were withheld .— account of the con ditions attending the inauguration of the fair. In the United States the, interest in the exposition, which was great at the beginning, soon became quite limited, as the result of the unfavorable auspices attending its opening. Yet the reports of the undertaking show that the Paris ex-. position was much more of a success than any other like undertaking since the old Crystal Palace show. The at tendance was something less than 33,000, --000, while that of the Chicago World's Fair was less than 28,000,000. 'No preced ing exposition ever, reached much more than one-third of these figures, the ,'hll adelphla exposition having less than 10, --000,000 visitors. It is not in the increased" rev enues -to the treasuries of Paris and France generally that the prin cipal gain has * been realized by the French people. There have resulted pub lic work o_! various, kinds of great public value which would not have been Inaug- Vr»x_r-r?» '"t_.^r» « n'riV _.VrVw-_.V« ■-''""■ **'■-'-*-" -- r-'-'-~' '■'■■-'. .."■"'-.

', Quays, bridges and transportation- llne3 of various kinds exist today in ; and . around Paris from which " the French people will reap great future gain in the development of their*interests.. -Nor is it in these directions alone that gain has come. . The attendance of the German people exceeded that of any other race. This fact of-itself ought to be of the greatest value to the 'French people as showing them the national folly of maintaining the attitude which their na tion has- occupied toward its * neighbor since the Franco-German war. The rep resentatives of every, nation in the world wore there, and the splendor of French genius in art, science and literature has, through the Exposition, been brought home to the world with a force which cannot be lost sight of, at least during the present generation. More .than all this: tbe spirit of Chauvinism, which has been in one sense the curse of * tne French people, in giving hold to the de lusion that as a race they are sufficient to themselves, has received" a blow from which it may never recover. No French man of intelligence and breadth of view could have examined the foreign exhibits without having had impressed on him the lesson of the independence of the commercial, nations of the' world. The holding of world expositions has become one of the leading features of the productive, advances of the century just -coming to a close. They will re main one of the greatest agencies in the century which is approaching for the pro motion of the spirit of national competi tion in, the race for commercial su premacy. As a popular educational factor there has been - nothing like them. France, England and the United States have done great work in that particular. The German and Russian people hay« made most of their advances as great productive forces since the era of the World's Fairs; and no doubt they can be looked to in the immediate future for a corresponding exhibition of their na tional - resources. It is plain from the success which has attended the Paris Exposition that no nation which embarks in such undertak ings can lose either in money or national prestige by the result. MONDAY GLOBE GLANCES. F. B. Fancher. governor of North Da kota is in California, sick a-bed, and the lieutenant governor, a person named Devme, is acting. governor. Of course the acting governor had to issue & Thanksgiving proclamation, and it's a wonder. It is a stump speech, a sermon, and a bunch of poetical and prose quota tions. He urges everybody to be thank ful for nearly everything, and suggests how everybody should spend the day, his admonitions closing in these words: "Let the evening be devoted to the children. Make merry in the good old way. Roll back the burden of years. A day-iaus spent will not only.be a living service to God, but a blessing to others and a benediction to ourselves." There is a widespread anxiety among public men over the condition of Sena tor Davis. He is familiar with all phases of international matters awaiting con gressional action, and his death would be looked upon as a serious national loss. Ha recovery now seems a case of hoping against hope. .-...' After all, While the country may wor ship wealth, yet in the selections to fill niches in the Hall of Fame in New. York the names of rich men are not there — only two, George Peabody and Peter Cooper, and they only because of their large-hearted philanthropy. The mere accumulation of money is not a matter worth remembering, unless wise use 's made of it for the benefit of the world. No man can make money without the aid of other men, and the man who gets more than he knows what to do with for his own comfort and benefit, has a wide field before him in the judicious use of his gatherings in helping along those who were instrumental in helping him. A year ago today England formally notified the powers of a state of war in South Africa. It has been an eventful year to Great Britain. It has meant an expenditure exceeded only by the cost of the wars- with Napoleon, the mobilization and transportation half way around the world of the greatest —over 200,000 —ever raised in England for such an expedition, the death or disability of nearly one-quarter of that great host, the wounding of national pride by repeat ed reverses an. apparent blunders, the increased unpopularity of the country among the peoples of continental Europe and the substitution of domestic and racial strife for international friction in South Africa. Music publishers say that "Coon Songs" are losing favor. 3 Not one in twenty of the songs-written ever get into print. One New York dealer/ said he had ac cepted twelve out of nearly three . hun dred in "the last year. The country is lull of poets who think they can write songs, and there's lots of people who think they can ,-ing, and a rag-time wave has sub merged the country, drowning out the patriotic and sentimental ballad, but "It did get pretty tiresome to hear the aged soubrette tell of her happy childhood days, when she was good flo her mother, and the public was glad when she took up the 'coon' song; but that kind of stuff is dying a lingering death, and there's money in it for the man who finds a good substitute." "..:- ""-■- In the opinion of the Washington Post "the most incompetent and untrustworthy classes of Cuban population have been given political control of the destiny of the island. . The fact is that the ele ments recognized, promoted, and installed by our authorities at Havana are no toriously unfit to conduct the' affairs of the island. Such men as the Gomezes, the Sanguillys^the Rabis, the Banderas— and all the rest of them—are not repre sentatives of civilized society and honest government. They are nothing but pro fessional agitators and - marauders. As well intrust to them the peaceful des tinies of Cuba as hire so many wolves to guard a sheepfold." - The town of Eaton Fla.. has a population of 1,200 people, and not a white person in the whole community. It is quite an active place, well governed by a set of village officers, with all of the business concerns common to a place of that size. X.'-XX T" The irrigation congress in Chicago closed Saturday after electing oificers. including W. W. Heffelfinger as vice president for Minnesota. Among the papers read on the last day was one by Col. J. S. Cooper, of Chicago, president of the National park - association on "The Proposed National Minnesota parks."

And would,we give up Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines? Or would we say what is, is? Today, Nov. 26, is the anniversary oi the birth, in 1731, of William Cowper, one of the most eminent and popular of English poets. His poem entitled, "The Task," is probably one of the most popular of its length in the language/while his version of "Homey" is, perhaps, the best ever made. This is also the birthday anniver sary of O. B. Frothingham, in 1822, an eloquent American Unitarian divine. —o— ■ ' *. ■ "Honesty is" a hard policy," according to Harold Martin, in a letter to the New York Independent on "The Military Gov ernment of Manila." -He. makes revela tion to the effect that the American offi cial is not. so tremendously superior to his Spanish predecessor in honesty and incorruptibility as we had expected. The natives have-been taught corruption by the Spaniards. 'To give them a chance to run affairs they will practice that to which they have long submitted.

All men must like, and all women should like Hadden Chambers' comedy, "The Tyranny of Tears," presented last night for the first time at the Metropol itan- theater. However, as some of it is rather delicious flattery for the men, and as most of it Is-very bitter medicine for the women, it will- probably count a larger number, of admirers among the former sex. The comedy is a successful one in every respect. Its unity is ad mirable. There; is not a character in it that strikes. a false . note, not one that Is not distinctly human. The. lines are smart without a suggestion of being forced. And—many people are still old fashioned and good-fashioned enough to demand this in a play—it-teaches its own sharp lesson. "Tyranny of Tears" Is a post-matrimonial, not a pre-matrimonial, history. Instead of seeing a hero and heroine through many trials only to drop the final curtain on them with the not always convincing supposition that "they lived happily ever after" the stage wedding. "Tyranny of . Tears" shows how false this supposition is too apt to be. The wife is to blame in the play. She weeps a good deal, hence the title. Then there is a pretty secretary who in nocently complicates, matters, and there is a man friend who doesn't help them. By her tears the wife": has driven away her husband's friends, deprived him of his club, robbed. him of his Independence. Finally, she sees the secretary kissing his picture and" fails to appreciate the purely maternal instinct that prompts the act. She demands that the secretary leave the house. The man, not knowing the cause for the request, i takes a firm stand and refuses. In the last act that man utters one of the neatest little homilies on domestic life that has ever been written. r* t%3 A thoroughly -capable company pre sented the play last evening. Mr. Reeve* Smith, as Mr. "Parbury, ■ the husband, gives a clever, clean-cut conception of the part. Ihe scene in J which he learns, or thinks he learned, that his secretary loves him, was as delicately acted as its strong refinement deserved. ~ Miss Mar garet Robinson, as Mrs. Parbury, is com pelled to. play against the sympathies of her audience, but her beauty speaks for her, and her acting last evening left nothing to be desired. To Miss Wood ward, as the secretary, is given the op portunity of presenting a type of the modern woman that is generally carica tured en the stage, that of the business woman. Her characterization is quaint and delightful and strong withal. Charles Bowser was an interesting Col. Armitage, Harry - Spears a capable Evans. William Smith, as George Gunning,, the friend, says most of the smart things in the play. It is difficult to keep up a running fire of epigrammatic remarks without looking conscious of it, and certainly Mr. Smith did not by his manner suggest any underestimation of the effect of these re marks on the audience. His youthful appearance Is in delightful keeping, how ever, with his cynicism, and ' his acting above reproach. The audience was demonstrative to the extent of ■ several' curtain :calls last evening. Clay Clement and the members of his company occupied boxes. The play will be continued the first half, of the week, with Wednesday matinee. / _-■'"■' ' GRAND. :'X'.X - "The Man From Mexico" is paying St. Paul a second visit this week. _ This year "he" comes as a popular price attraction, opening at the Grand last night to a large and enthusiastic audience. George C. Boniface Jr., who created the part of Jones in "What Happened to Jones," and who is well remembered by St. Paul peo ple for his '■'.. clever work in that clever comedy, has replaced "Willie" Collier as "The Man." One would hardly , care :say that Boniface'makes more of the part than did Collier, for Collier is a de cidedly clever comedian, and one who makes the most *of any. role assumed by him, but this _.much e must be said for Boniface, he -is j just as good as ' Collier. Boniface seldom clefs* an opportunity •*. go by to create a laugh, and, as "The Man," he is extremely funny.- Insofar as the piece as a whole. 4s concerned, the-verdict has already beeß i^idered.--It is like practically all of Broadhurst Brothers' comedies, a great success. y. it Is a comedy full of fun from; beginning ;to end, and It could not be better portrayed than ; by the company to whom it- has been en trusted this year. | No! more need \be said of it as ! a whole on its j second /visit here. The-. supporting ; cast, /in the main, is good. The part of .Clementina Fitzhew was-taken by Adeline Mann,*-- in the ab- sence of Miss Helen 'Baird^who is ser iously _■' sick in a local hospital. Miss Mann is not well fitted to the part, ' but much credit is due: her under the cir cumstances. Dorothy Armstrong made an excellent Sallle, and Mildred Keith as Nettie Majors, and Edith Williams, as Miranda, re also deserving of mention. Among the suporting men F. W. Bernard succeeds admirably in making himself a most meddlesome Col. Majors. Gus Pix ley creates many a laugh with is pre sentation of Yon Bulow Bismarck Schmidt. No. one could make more out of the part of the excitable little Dutch man than does Pixley. D.,. H. Landau is an excellent Warden Loveall; and makes the most out of the part. The others, Arthur Villars, as Edward Farrer, W. H. Vedder, as Richard Daunton, and M.'.' L. Heckert, as Deputy * Sheriff Cook, are good. • There really could be no better remedy for the blues than "The Man From Mexico." It might even be said of.it that it be recommended for severe cases of. lockjaw for no one, not even a sufferer from lockjaw can see it and not laugh. It will be the attraction at the Grand all week with usual matinees, - and a special matinee on Thanksgiving Day, STAR. The Dainty Parec Burlebquers began a week's engagement at the home of burlesque, the Star, last evening. That their reception was cordial was evidenced by a house sold before the curtain arose, and which compelled : the late comers to seek advantageous positions in the thea ter lobby. ,'.:'?;; With Gay. Paree is ever associated the suggestive, and the Dainty Paree Bur lesquers are.no exception to the rule. From the opening performance, a bur lesque of rural life entitled "A Farie Farm," through to the finish, the sug gestive predominates, and, as a rule, it found ready approval from the large audience. The olio sandwiched in between the two burlesques has many redeeming features, and some of the turns are quite clever, principally, among which were Eddie De Voe, as the acrobatic tramp; Jeahette and Shaw, character change comedians; the Sisters Leon, in acrobatic, and the Greshams, i n illustrated songs.

TWO HONORABLE JUDGES. E. C. Huntington in the Windom Re porter. fB Cottonwood county is getting a repu tation for a certain kind of criminal cases, . and this week Judge Brown was overwhelmed with the article. When I write this copy I can't say what dis position the judge will make of the mat ters, but it is likely that a marriage will settle one case and that another will be settled because a marriage has taken place and cheated the statutes and his honor out of some salacious evidence. Let us hope this may be true, for such evidence is not very appetizing for folks who think the community should be improved upon. It is decided ly nauseating to good morals and sen sitive ears and decidedly demoralizing. It seems odd to see Judge Severance in town practicing before Judge Brown, of whom Severance is old enough to be father.— When Judge Severance was first holding court in the old Sixth district. Judge Brown was a boy, hardly admit ted to practice, if Indeed he had more than begun the study of law. Brown used to practice before Severance. It is getting well along toward twenty years since Judge Severance quit holding court in Windom, when Perkins was ap pointed—another almost student under Judge Severance. The last time I saw Judge Severance in the city was while Perkins was judge. He came here to try a case in Which Capt. Gilleland was a party and in which Perkins was indirectly interest ed. The judge -was here a day or two, and I remember his roasting the counsel for talking about the captain, etc., say ing that if counsel would remember that in courts there were only two parties, plaintiffs and defendants, and that in the army they could find captains and colonels, advising counsel to thereafter remember that they must refer to parties in the case by the proper designation to be understood. Judge Severance sent the first prisoner to state's prison from this county, and probably this term of court Judge Brown will send more men to penal institutions than Judge Severance did in the several years of his occupancy of the bench in this corner of the state. This shows the growth the county has made. It used to be our. pride that nobody had ever been sent to prison from the county. It is getting to be a necessity to send all we can to keep peace with the world and with ourselves. Judge Severance was an independent judge, a fearless one, and if he had a failing it was in tenderness of heart. j All old settlers remember him well, new ] settlers often hear old ones talk of him, ! and almost seem to known him. He is one of those men who make j typical judges. Not alone large of body and portly, but erect, dignified and brainy, learned in law, and wise in its application. Out of a thousand men he would be taken for a judge by a stranger anywhere. Just the reverse from Brown, who might be taken in such a crowd as an attorney. This speaking of the two men individually among men as the world goes, as the common plodder looks at people. Both are judicial giants, never theless. Only in years and consequent experience is Severance the superior of Brown. Intellectually both are big men. Judicially each is regarded as among the best judges in the state. Severance is passing beyond the age of activity. He Is an old man. The dhties of the judgship became bur densome, to him, and as the district de veloped business it bore upon his vitality heavily, and a year ago he was suc ceeded by Loren Cray in the Sixth. Brown now occupies the place in point of age Severance filled twenty-five year.; ago, and is probably a better lawyer than Severance was at that time As a judge upon the bench he ranks with ' Severance then, and saying this is no disparagement, to Severance, whose de cisions have gone to make up.the juris-' prudence of Minnesota. Brown's are gi ing all the time to add to the fund -_>f judicial wisdom, but naturally with time opinions become more or less obsolete as new problems and conditions arise,: yet in most of the old opinions will be found precedents and law for the quid- j ance of younger judges and attorneys. Judge Severance's first visit to Win-; dom was twenty-eight years ago this j month, when he came to try a case of the St Paul Lumber company against i A. E. Wood, and I believe the judge was ; on one side and Uri Lamphrey on the j other. I have never seen Lamphrey since. Court was held in the old school , house, and the Listener was a witness. j It was a hot term. Perkins was county ! attorney and Waite was judge. Then j for a few years Severance was a yeauy j visitor to Windom, always on one side j of several cases and .then Judge Dickin- j son went to the supreme court, Sever- , ance to the district, and twice a year for j a long time he was a familiar figure with us. It seems strange to see him now at the bar instead of the bench. .— — . ' *•*****•—: —"-"'"''"'"****--. Holland's Position Regarding Ger many. To the Editor of the Globe: As a native of Holland I take excep tion to nart of your editorial, 'The Fan- j Germanic Movement," in -the Globe si issue of the 22d inst. Holland has not been a part of Germany any more than she has been 'a nart of Spain. From Caesa^'s time Holland has been inde pendent, or fighting for independence. The Holland . language is/not a -dialect of the German tongue, but an independ ent, development of the **" original - Saxon, in like manner as are the Scandinavian languages. The seaports of-• Holland may not have grown like some of our Eastern citie . or like the-German ports mentioned in your article. I am in formed that Rotterdam has had a rapid growth, considering the size of the coun try, and that the growth of Amsterdam, if not as rapid, has been a very healthy and satisfactory development. lam cer tain that the people of Holland would be radically opposed to becoming part of the German empire for the sake of witness ing' a phenomenal growth of her com mercial centers, nor do I believe that the - proposed marriage of the : German duke with Wllhelmina i-r-to be . consid ered a step In that direction. If it were looked upon in that light Holland the states general would withhold consent —Batavius. --- ' Grand. Forks, N. D., Nov. 23. 1900. p An Unsavory Joint..
