Chicago, No. £7 Washington St.. Wil liams & Lawrence In Charee. FRIDAY. JUNE 28, 1901. THEIR. FALSE SECURITY. There prevails among the gentlemen whose official rectitude has been called In question in connection with the re cent tax frauds perpetrated on this county the belief that they have es caped all responsibility for the state of tl ii ■:- revealed in. the report of Exam iner Pope, and the report of the grand jury. These gentlemen were somewhat precipitate in their conclusions. The county treasury has been looted at least to the extent of over $700. The funds of the county have been misappropriated und misapplied for the purpose of car rying- on private speculations. The re quirements of the law and all of them, designed for the protection of the public against Just the frauds shown to have been perpetrated, have been utterly Ig nored. Several thousand dollars of the county funds have been paid out under the direction of Mr. Johnson as county auditor, for which there is not a scrap of paper to show in the way of receipt or voucher. The greater part of the certificates which were wrongfully re dteir.ed never appear to have been in the hands of the persons who received the county funds for their redemption; they have never been surrendered, never canceled, and their whereabouts is at the present moment unknown. For this state of things, because the grand jury did not feel itself at liberty to find criminal indictments against those concerned, we are now infrmed the pub lie are,wholly without remedy. Mr. John son expects, no doubt, to go on admin istering his office with the same degree of negligence which seems to have char acterized that administration for some time past. If not from the beginning. The only response, no doubt, which he thinks may be needed on his part In case of further exposures of this character is to discharge some official understrapper or other. Mr. Johnson is precisely in the posi tion of the gentleman of the same name mentioned in the current popular song: His principal asset Is a hot excuse. He Is ever ready with that sort of thing when vulgar abuse of those who take exception to his official misconduct will not answer his purpose. He is alto gether an artist, and such a one at best as, it does not seem especially in the interest of the public, should be charged with the administration if responsible public office. He thinks he has escaped through what he must concede to be a very small hole. The others who have been accessory to the illegal acts com plained' of share with Mr. Johnson his opinion of personal security. Thig is not, under all the circum stances, remarkable, certainly not as re markable as it might be if those who have suffered so severely" in the public estimation were men of a different caliber. They have had the persistent and scandalous silence of the two Re publican party organs in this community to sustain them in the view. But they are wrong. Their Republican newspapers may play deaf and dumb; their Repub lican governor may think proper to yield to the pressure which has prevailed from the outset on him to pass the rascally transactions over in silence. But the people or Ramsey county will not be at all so callous as these officials and news papers pretend to be. The grand jury's report mains, and so does the report of Public Examiner Pope. They cannot wipe these off the record. Mr. Johnson says that he is in the: hands of his friends. We do not con gratulate those who, in the light of these transactions, are ready to avow themselves the friends of that official. No; he is not in the hands of his friends. 'He and all-his fellow Republican poli ticians an! officeholders who have been mixed up with him, and the party they all represent, are just now In the hands of the taxpayir.g public of Ramsey coun ty; and the- day will come when that public will show them all just how high ly tat are valued." — ♦ '■ ■ A SLAP AT LABOR ORGANIZATIONS. "We recognize the right of both labor end capital to combine, when such com binations are wisely administered for the general good, but combinations which create monopolies to control prices or limit production are an evil which must be met by effective legislation and vigor ously enforced." The above from the resolutions of the Ohio state Republican convention is sig nificant as.showing the intention of the J'<P'i':lican parly to place the labor or- ni/.atioris on the same footing with the industrial trusts of the millionaires. The right to combine .is recognized hen the combinations are "wisely ad ministered for the general good." Com binations both of labor and of capital we not made for the general but the particular good. No .member of a labor organization will .assert for a minute that the organization is for the general good. It is first for the good,of the workmen and if there be a secondary effect for good it will be felt by the gen eral ' community through the fact that the laborer is better off. It all depends upon the point of view. An organization may be wisely - administered . from the viewpoint of the organizers and very unwisely administered from the view point of the outsiders. We have no doubt that all industrial combinations will be wisely administered for the bene fit of those receiving a part of the swag, but they are also to be administered for the public good. This last clause is too absurd to need attention. "Combinations which create monopolies to control prices and limit production are an evil," etc. What do the labor organizations of Ohio think of this? What do the men who voted for Mark Hanna's full dinner pail think of this sweeping denunciation of the attempt of labor to organize for the purpose of raising wages by creating a. monopoly and limiting' production? Every labor organization . according to this definition is an evil combination and. "should foe met by effective legislation and vigorously enforced." Labor is the greatest commodity in which the human animal deals. The! organizations of labor were intended to and do monopolize this commodity and thereby advance the price of the com modity. Do they limit production? Cer tainly they do. That is one of their cardinal principles. The strike now on among the machinists is to shorten the hours of labor and limit production. This plank in the Ohio Republican platform was intended to place the great lr.bor organizations of that state between the devil and the deep blue sea. They must either veto to support all manner and conditions of trusts or they must admit that their own organizations are an evil. It was a shrewd move on the part of the foxy Mark, but it will fool no "one. The labor organizations will not be scared into supporting -the lie publican ticket and with it the trust schedule, to save their own necks. They will rely on their own strength to turn the balance to one side or the other to keep them safe from anti-trust laws. *^"" — ■■ ■- — A REPUBLICAN BLUFF. The Republican leaders are awakening to the fact that If they would preserve their power, work must be done. It would be easy to correct the evils of which the people now complain, and which will make against Republican success next year and at the presidential election of 1904, But this would entail. a substantial change of policy which tha leaders are not prepared to sanction. The flesh pots of Egypt have not yet been despoiled of their contents, and until that time comes the Republican party, as a party, 1 •will not abandon the policy of taxing the many for the benefit of the few: They will trust to luck and the ignor ance of the common voter to keep them in power for yet another term. By that time there will be enough for all who are entitled to sit at the feast. • Something must be done, and done quickly. Revise the tariff? No, not on your life. Favor reciprocity treaties? Never! That would be" a 'confession of the principal allegation in the N complaint. What is to be done? An appeal to patriotism will be made to offset .an European combination against our trad.c. The jingo spellbinder will take the stump and show how the great American In dustries of sugar making and oil well digging are menaced by the arbitrary ac tion of that autocratic government over which presides the czar. He will tell how that prince of darkness, De Wltte, sought to force bounty-bought sugar into our markets, and was met and defeated by that angel of light, Gage, armed with the sword of Gideon, the Dingley act. The cry of America for Americans in particular, and the world for Americans i in general, will be raised to cover the tracks of our foreign trade policy, as maintained by the senate. {•■ . "J-'- To fool the anti-trust faction of the party something must be done. Talk will not fill the bill. »:?,',-■..'.•:- Something is to be done. The trusts are to be dealt with according to law. Even now, we are informed by the chief organ of the only boss, that the at torney general is laying the foundation for legal actions that are to . sweep all unlawful combinations' from-the face of the earth. Unlawful combinations! what are unlawful combinations? Mr. Mark Hanna himself told the .people no longer ago than last fall, that there are no trusts, meaning that there were no com binations which the law would construe as trusts and thus hold them amenable to the anti-trust law. What can Attorney General Knox do? Did not Attorney General Griggs do his best to fasten upon the United States decisions which are •favorable to „ combinations? Unless the supreme court can be Influenced to re verse itself, nothing can be done with the industrial combinations commonly called trusts. What is the meaning of this move in the direction of the courts? It means that the Republican leaders . have seen the necessity of setting a back-fire to prevent being consumed by the spread of the tariff reform conflagration. Some thing must be done to attract attention and to give the cuckoo press some ground to stand upon. Nothing will be done in the line of legal control, because nothing is wanted , done. The Ohio Re publican platform, dictated by hanna, declared that the. Republican party is in favor of combinations (trusts) for both labor and capital. : It is difficult to de termine whether this is a -sly boost for the trusts or a direct slap at labor or ganizations. .; All kinds of promises will be made by the Republican machine to preserve for the next three 'years the inviolability of the modern trust. By the: expiration of. that time, those concerned will have made their mark and now think they, will be willing to let up, and turn honest. • ~" These bluffs however, be called as" often as put up, by the . Republican push. THE ST. PAUI, GLOBE, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1901. There is - one remedy for the American •• trust, and that is a removal of the prime -cause, protection. "".*."r.;~y vj'.' CAN WE AMBRTICAiXIZE THE *-! TAGAL? The question of Americanizing the Phil- j ippines is more serious than is suspected by the casual observer. We have be come so accustomed to the belief that we can take In, digest and . assimilate, anything that comes our way that : all we think we have to do is to hoist the American flag over any old island or continent, give to the - inhabitants our laws and they will embrace both, becom ing thoroughly, civilized within a twelve month. For this belief we have some excuse. Have we not admitted from all the nations of , Europe their worst a3 well as their best and within a genera tion eradicated every trace of their orig inal national characteristics? Have we not, like a big national ostrich, devoured every scrap, from the subjects of th czar with hereditary instincts toward imperialism, to the democratic English man and the nihilistic Hungarian? Do not all these men who come here with violent prejudices against this social us&ge and that form of government, at once lay them aside and evolve into full fledged Americans in one generation? This is all very true, but we have been taking our national food, to carry out the illustration of the ostrich, from the Caucasian scrap pile. All these differ ent types belong to the same race with our parent stock, the. Anglo-Saxon or 'his cousin.- " -..,.. .. We have never made an attempt to engraft our ideas and institutions-upon the stem of the Malay race. The few who seek our shores remain distinct in their racial individuality. Not bad citi zens, do they make, if we may be allow ed that name, but they never become American and show no wish to so be er me. Wherever European nations- have at tempted to force European- civilization upon Oriental colonies they have failed. England remains in India and profits by her trade, only through the "let alone" policy which she was compelled to adopt after repeated failures to Anglicize the native. The Dutch have preserved -= their power in Java and other colonies by giving . the . rein of government fully into the hands of the native?, pretending to offer advice only.. Complete,assimila tion must take place or colonization will be a failure. In India, the land of caste, the English add but one more caste to the thousands now existing. This fact is the secret of the failure of the British colonies of the .Zest Indies. The ruling class is not of the people, and never will become of the people, and English insti-, tutions cannot be engrafted upon an aris tocracy. The secret of Russian success in Asia lies In the fact that the Russian is ■- half ' Oriental now. He understands the Orien tal character and his tastes are tainted" with Orientalism. The absolutisms of . the Russian theory tallies well with the • governments of the ancient civilizations I .that Western Europe is trying to make 'over on the now model. ; Will the Americans who go to the .Philippines assimilate with .the mixed races of that island fragment of Asia? Will they intermarry and bring forth a. ■ half-breed race that will be an improve ment on. what is there now? We doubt ; it. Will the Tagals' accept the English language and comprehend the admin istration of American law as it will be administered by a . mixed tribunal? It has taken Spain three centuries to in troduce her language into the larger cities of the larger islands. Can we ex pect to accomplish in a-few years what Spain: could not do in centuries? We will find that there is much moonshine about this talk of the "white man's burden." We have tried it with the American Indian and have succeeded | only when we have exterminated the race. If the races will not assimilate, one must go to the wall, providing the other invaded the territory In sufficient num bers. This will not be the case with the Philippines. No American is going to the Philippines for the love of the thing. He is- going there to make what he can and return. He is not going to mix with the races either socially or politically.. He will govern while there for the purpose of getting the most out of the scheme. Then he will quit. We might as well settle down to one of two propositions. To either leave the islands to the local governments lormed by the people, or keep a sufficient military force In the island to back up a foreign civil carpet bag machine. To expect tHe Fili pino to adopt our institutions and run a government modeled on oar own is ab solutely foolish. He may be able to form one of his own and get along, very well, but to adopt another and make of it a success is beyond the . experience of the rest of humanity. — • _^».—. _ The-Republican party fighting trusts will be like Satan rebuking Sin.

"The reconstruction of Ga'lveston is go ing on slowly," said Thomas Taylor, a cotton broker of that city, who is now staying in this city at the Hotel Virginia. "It will be many years before the city attains to what it was prior to the flood," he continued, "and there are many who fear that it will , never be what it was before.

At present, - however, there lis ■ only one bridge connecting.. the island on which Galveston is situated with the mainland. There were three be fore the flood.

The water had already risen, and the train swung back and forth as it crossed the trestlework as if • in another moment it would be tumbled into the river below. The engine was within twenty '; feet ■of the . island, when a sudden lurch brought us to a standstill. Railroad employes ' threw hags of sand underneath the bridge to steady it, and then the engine hauled us in with a Jerk. I hired a scow to , get from the station to the Tremont hotel. During the height of the storm I stayed in the hotel, and that night I would not have given 50 cents for my: life. The building shook in the storm like a tent. Next morning when I looked 'out the water had subsid ed, and the street was littered with dead. What followed, is known too well to the public." Mr. Taylor is a member of the New York, the ' New Orleans and the Liverpool cotton exchanges. His per sonal loss in the flood, he said, was 4,000 bales of cotton. . -.- ' >^ _" DEMAND Pan COLLEGE MEN. New York Tribune. "Graduated, but not present," was the suggestive announcement • made concern ing the class of 1901 at a well known in stitution of higher learning. A majority of the class did not appear at commence ment, though; their names were called and their- degrees were conferred. The case was extraordinary, but the explana tion was simple and satisfactory. The services of _ the young men had been sought and engaged by business men so urgently that the president of the in stitution had given the students permis sion to leave school and go to work in advance of actual graduation. Their courses of study were satisfactorily completed and their examinations pass ed, and it was thought to be not worth while to keep them away from the in dustries which "needed them for so long as even the few days yet remaining be fore the formal close of the academic year. - :: There is in this a fine rebuke, of the most practical ; and convincing kind, to the pretence that a college education is a handicap to ; a young man in business. It is not a handicap, - Dut It is an incal culable advantage—provided, of : course, that it be a proper education, in which the first aim has been to train the mind, to stock" it. the second. The hardest headed business men send.their own sons to college, and give their wealth to en dow colleges and seek college men for their j lieutenants.

TALKS WITH THE TRAVELERS Ex-Senator Henry Feig, of Kandiyohi county, was in the city yesterday on a business trip, and during the day he called at the capitol and had a confer ence with State Auditor Dunn relative to land matters. "Politics," said he, in response to a> query, 'are dead up our way and all we think of just now is as to how we are coming out with the crops. "I see," he continued, -that the chief gTain inspector recently said that bo faT as our cropg are concerned, Liie wheat is liable to lodge too thick, owing to the great amount of rain. Now, so far as my observation is concerned, I cannot agree with the inspector, and that we have not had too much rain is shown by the splendid appearance of the wheat. The wheat will be all headed by tho Fourth of July and these w.ann days are helping things out tmemnsely, and the corn crop will be especially fine." "Up in the Seventh district, when the time rolls around," said an observing statesman from the country yesterday, "you will hear of what will probably be the biggest congressional fight that has ever taken place in the state. Eddy had a ha-rd time of it before, and if it had not been for his campaign in the north ern counties he would have been turned down completely.

His castle is the Elms," one of the least pretentious houses in a village remarkable for neither glory of architecture nor the ambitious propor tions of its dwelling places. Owe feels that truly, with Kiplinig, an .Englishman's 'bouse is "his castle to himself, whatever It may be to others. To the residence, of so noted a man a certain halo of distinc tion attaches. ■-In spite of this, however, the visitor who makes a pilgrimage to Rottingdean to see where lives his hero is irresistibly bound to laugh at the sight of the Elms.

The Elms would not win a second .glance from a mildly successful tallow chandler, : and a city clerk would consider the place impossibly unattrac tive; the aesthetic would shudder to think that the "Recessional" was created with in this little commonplace in stone plas ter and red tiles.

A double barreled gate way, solid and high as the -walls, guards the way to the front entrance, and the ltttl* electric bell looks' quaintly Incon gruous inset in so -much of ancienit solid ity. A tiny trapdoor in the gateway, just large enough for one to squeeze his card through, is governed from the inside, and the inmates of the Elms are secure from intrusion once they "sport their oak." So far as living Interest is concerned, the Kiplings are Rottingdean for the out side world. It has associations, pleasant and sad associations, however, apart from this family. The ancient vicarage, just across the way, Is a far more important seeming establishment than The Elms, and has a history to back its claim to notice. The Rottingdean vicarage was anciently famous as a school. Cardinal Manning, the great Duke of "Wellington and Bulwer Lytton : were among the I scholars of the old-time vicars.

Ami then a turn brings •n' 5 back to the main thoroughfare, where are up to date Ilttlo shops and—the electric light. Yes, the electric light in shop ;m>l In this pocket of a place. Your driver brisks up his steed and whirls you rap- Idly past The Elms, up the hillside by tho houso, pulls up at a coiner some dis tance along the whiUi steep road, and, mute and expectant, invites by gesture your admiration and appreciation of the most advanced outpost of civilization. It is an electric lamp set in the corner of the lane, with a background of hayricks and barns, and looking as strangely plac-ed as a steam plough in the Garden of Eden. But, incongruous or not, the '.liuminant is there, and the Kiplings are not the least considerable consumers of it. Com fort and convenience foini the key to the domestic policy of The Elms, Mr. Kip ling used to possess a motor car and mak« his journeys to and from Brighton in It. But the machine proved fractious, so the Brighton cabmen reasserted their title to serve him. Thoy all know the master of The Kirns, and count him the finest of patriots in discarding his "road engine." All the boys in the village are the i>or ponal chums of the owner of The Elms. He knows them all by name, and is familiar with the history and character istics of each. There is a little wood and Iron erection standing close by tho house and the pond. It is the gymnasium which Mr. Kiplingr has built for the rising hopes of RottSng ciean. When work palls in the evenings he takes himself and his pipe across t» the gymnasium and has a possip with his young friends, in whose exercises he takes a great delight. When the buys have finished they cluster around their patron and beg him to tell them something about Tndia or the army. Many a fascinating word picture of the jungle and its deni zens he will draw for them. The world admires Kipling as a genius; the boys who know him at horn© worship him as a sort of glorified elder brother. He is keenly interested in military ex ercises for youths, and will take tha most promising of his youthful friends down to the beach shooting. He has or ganized a rifle club for the encourage ment pnd practice of marksmanship among the older men in the village. It is not surprising that Kottlngdean men have been fighting at the front. Mr. Kipling stands aloof from the pub lic work of the village, and will h.vo none of the local board. He is not a pub. lie man at home. His work is probatly les3 known from reading by the Rot tlngdeaners than by the residents in many an isolated town in North Amer ica. Yet he is clearly the most popu'ar man in tho village, not as Rudyard Kip ling, the poet and author, but as Rudyard Kipling the man, the playmate of the boys, the idol of the young "men.

"I received two telegrams this morn ing)," eaid Mr. Heath. "Both stated that the bank was in good condition and hart plenty of funds on hand. I cannot imagine what kind of a snarl they have got Into. Of course there are outstanding loans, but so far as I know they are of, the gilt edged kind and the bank has had no outside entanglements. "Now the bank has no stock accounts that I know of.
