Consulting ThsJr Imaginations.
Sheridan replied to th<? arguments of
an opponent with the epigram that he
consulted iiis imagination for his facts
and his memory for his wit. The Min
nesota Republicans, in the platform
adopted yesterday, hav-2 drawn wholly
upon thtir imaginations for their facts
and releared their memory from any
draft upon it.
They assert that the prosperity that
is still "reluming" — not returned — "is
largely due to the party's unswerving
uIK-giance to the cause of sound money
nrd the wise revenue legislation of the
Republican congress."
The party that gave the country the
greenback for "money," lirst as a war
measure and then in .perpetuity; thait
gave us the silver purchase acts of IS7B
and 1890. and called the certificates
■ money ;"th. it by the act of iSi-o brought
to a focus tho forces t^at wrought in
(.Uistrial havoc in 1893, draws wholly
rjoo its imagination for its facts when
ft refers to this record as one indicat
ing "unswerving allegiance to sound
money."
At the moment in which the con
vention was adopting this imaginative
\ indication of the "wise revenue legis
lation of the Republican congress, '■
which had supplied "the wants of an
exhausted treasury," the wires were
bringing the synopsis of the statement
of the treasury department of the re
ceipts and exr.e|iditur-s for the fiscal I
year t'h.tt dosed yrsttrd iy. This shows
that the Dingley revenue act, that has
been operative for eleven of the months
of this year, produced $26,500,000 less
revenue than did the act denounced by
these imaginative mak.rs of moonbeam
platforms. In the month of June it
produced $7,000,000 less than did its
predecessor. As if to emphasize the
absolute absence of fact in the plat- j
farm, this treasury statement shows
'that the internal revenue branch of the
revenue law, the branch wholly of
Democratic creation, left entirely un
touched by Dingley, will show an ap
proximajte increase for the year of $23,-
COO.OOO. The internal revenue, derived
Ly means of Democratic legislation,
comes within $3,000,000 of making up
The loss of revenue from the Republi
can customs measure. As a whole,
this "wise revenue legislation of the
Republican congress" results in an ex
cess of expenditures over income of
very nearly $100,000,000, to meet which
the people of the United States are now
subscribing to an issue of bonds to
the amount of $200,000,000.
A second Dingley bill goes Into effect
today. It also must be raited with the
other one as "a ntw stimulus to Amer
ican industry," if we are to consult our
imaginations instead of actual condi
tions for our facts. A Washington dis
patch tells how this new piece of Ding
leyism stimulates industry. "There is
a prospect of a congrstlcn of business
all over the country tomorrow," says
this dispatch. "The treasury depart
ment, working through the bureau of
internal revenue, is powerless to meet
one-hundr^dith part of the demand for
bank and proprietary stamps." It is a
I tremendous draft upon the imagination
i than can characterize as "wise revenue
I legislation " that which produces a
"congestion of business all over the
country." Our state Republicans out
class the Spaniards in the complacency
• with which they consult their imagi
nations for their facts.
Ex't David; Enter William.
One machinist simply succeeds
another machinist. The Clough ma
chine was ditched and a Eustls
machine was run out of the
roundhouse and will be given the
right of way. That was the result of
the Republican convention yesterday.
Tarns Bixby bobs up serenely and the
discomfiture of David and Ell and
some others lacking scriptural cogno
mens is complete. Mr. Eustls had al
ready served notice that "my policy"
would be Minneapolitan, and St. Paul
may expect to see a Minneapolis face
at every window pane In the state cap
itol, and its business interests jostled
rudely aside, should the Minneapolitan
be elected governor. Gov. Clough has
his faults— ias possibly The Globe's
readers know— but It can be remem
bered that he has maintained a toler
ably fair attitude toward this city,
since he has occupied the executive
chamber.
We shall hear much for a few days
about the "destruction of the machine"
by the independent .spirits of the grand
old party, but only innocent Repub
licans will be fooiled by any such chaff.
The sinful and the experienced in both
parties know better. Even the gov
ernor must recognize in yesterday's
results the work of those two skilled
master-mechanics temporarily sojourn
ing in Washington. No ordinary stok
ers or oilers are Senators Davis and
Nelson. They know the throttle and
the lever, the steam gauge, and the air
brake pressure — and knowledge with
them has again proven great power.
Mr. Eustis might be running as a
Republican candidate in Pennsylvania
or even In Rhode Island so far as his
party's platform i.s concerned, for the
only reference it makes to Minnesota
matters is contained in a measly little
plank favoring improved highways —
for the better accommodation, we sup
pose, of the Eustis machine. Naturally
it favors the Hawaiian grab and the
Nicaragua canal job. Otherwise it
would not have been orthodox Repub
lican.
Meet the New Issue.
Pennsylvania Democrats met on
Wednesday and actually voted down
a resolution reaffirming the Chi
cago platform. Conventions of Dem
ocrats that meet later in the
season will do It equally scant
reverence. The action of the Penn
sylvania-is is especially signifi
cant, for it was the national commit
teeman from their state who was re
cently ousted by the vote of a bar*
majority of the national committee for
heresy, the offense consisting of re
maining in the old Democratic man
sion while the bulk of the family went
fishing.
Democratic conventions held later
will undoubtedly indicate that a new
question has come to dominate parties
and submerge all prior issues. Noth
ing is clearer now than that the most
important question which the vot
ers of the nation have ever been called
upon to consider and decide is being
rapidly formulated. However far in
the past its silent advance may now
be traced, it burst upon the country
with the roar of the first gun fired
from our battleships at Spanish msr
chantmen or Spanish fortifications. It
is the question to which has been given
the name of Imperialism; the conquest
and retention of territory beyond our
borders and the establishment of a
THE ST. PAUL GLOIiE FRIDAY JULY 1, 1898.
form ofc government for M.a people re
pugnant to the principles of Democ
racy.
Shall the United States, to adopt
the language of President Pat
ton, throw overboard the Farewell Ad
dress and discard the Monroe doc
trine? Shall the policy of the nation,
adhered to for more than a century
by all parties, now be suddenly and
without consideration thrown away
and a new and an utterly untried one
be adopted? This Is now the issue,
and it Is one which the leaders of the
party have promptly accepted, and
which will bring together the members
of our great party from their recent
division. There are plenty of indica
tions that it is going to loosen the ties
that have held men to their parties
and compel a re-alignment. Here and
there is a Democrat who is caught by
the glitter of imperialism, but the Re
publican party contains sane, sensible,
conservative men who will refuse to
go with their party in this chase after
wild geese.
But one Democratic congressional
conven#on has been held, and it would
have been better had it been deferred
a couple of months. Six more are to
be held, and they can accept the chal
lenge Republicanism tenders and ask a
verdict of the voters upon the ques
tion whether it is the counsel of
Washington or of McKinley that shall
be adopted. This is the one great Is
sue now. Republicanism naturally fa
vors it; Democracy as naturally op
poses it.
The doctrine of Democracy reads
j plainly:
No imperial colonial policy.
No territorial expansion to beget it.
No entangling alliances with any na
tion under the sun.
If Minnesota must be represented
again by a Republican — and that point
is not, of course, definitely settled —
the announcement made by the Re
j publican convention yesterday that
Cushman K. Davis must be the man,
v.ill cause no regrets to Minnesotans
generally. Mr. Davis has given the
North Star state standing In the coun
cils of the national senate, and none
of her sons have fared illy who have
sought his advice and aid. Other
states have been less fortunate in their
selection of senators. There was the
great state of New York, for instance,
which once elected a distinguished Re
publican to the senate. A little band
of ardent independents paved the way
I for his re-entrance into public life,
and with the assistance of the Ar-
I thur wing of the party, made it pos
sible for ex-Secretary of State Will
iam M. Evarts to defeat the Platt
wing's candidate, the Hon. Levl P.
j Morton. And when Mr. Evarts settled
| himself In his chair in the senate, he
fell into the pernicious habit of using
postal cards in answering the letters
of his Albany supporters. Madder
rr.en never lived, as Teddy Roosevelt
can testify. Senator Davis, on the
other hand, invariably observes the
proprieties, and Washington can al
ways be reached from Minnesota when
the telegraph wires are in working
order.
The St. Paul Dispatch has again
demonstrated Its right to be recog
nized as the loading Republican news
paper of Minnesota. The Colonel never
sits on the fence critically inspecting
bandwagons. He gelts Into one of his
own and takes chances on being tilted.
We can't indorse his candidates, much
as we admire his robust way of getting
them into the field and fighting them
through the convention.

Delesates to a. Convention to Be
Held at the Capitol.
Perhaps the most novel convention which
meets annually in this state is the Minnesota
Association of the Deaf, which opens Its
twelfth annual meeting at the state capltol
this evening.
The exercises will all be In sign language.
In opening the session addresses will be de
livered by Mayor Kiefer and Archbishop Ire
land, and valuable papers will be read by
Miss Slegel, Prof. Smith and Mr. Hanson, of
Fai ibault, and Mr. Howard, of Duluth.
The convention will continue in session to
morrow, when several addresses will be de
livered in signs, and the annual election of
officers will also take place.
The Sunday exercises will be held in the
First Baptist church, corner of Ninth and
Wacouta streets. Addresses will be delivered
by Rev. J. F. Stillwell, of St. Paul, and Rev.
J. H. Cloud, of St. Louis. On Monday most
of the delegates will stay over and an excur
sion on the steamer Henrietta will be made
down the river, as far as the St. Croix. The
boat will leave at 9 a. m.
The present officers of the association are:
President, A. R. Spear, St. Paul; vice presi
dent, O. Hanson, Faribault; secretary, John
Schwitz, Faribault; treasurer, L. W. Hcdg
man, Red Wing.
NOT LIKELY TO AGREE.
Clewett Jury, It Is Thon&lit, Will
Not Find a Verdict.
The jury In the case of Sellna Clewett
against the House of the Good Shepherd re
tired to consider the evidence at 1 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Pierce Butler, for the de
fendant, and Attorney Butts for the plaintiff,
addressed the jury for something over an
hour each, commencing at 10 o'clock. The
arguments were followed by the charge of
Judge Otis.
The flist thing the jury did after leaving
the court room was to march to the Metropol
itan hotel for dinner. After tho meal the
jurors retired to the jury room, and the
sounds of voices in arguments could' be heard
all the afternoon.
Deputy Sheriff Bott was directed at 4 o'clock
to have a liberal supply of ice water sent to
the room. It was evident at 6 o'cioek that
there was not much chance fo-r an agreement,
as one of the jurors sent word to his family
at White Bear lake that he would not be
home before Friday night.
Attorney Butt*, in speaking of the case yes
terday, said ho had made a much stronger
showing in the .last, trial than at- any of the
other three trials. He expressed the opinion
that he had his doubts about several of the
jurors asreeingto a verdict for the plaintiff.
At midnight the jurors adjusted themselves
aa comfortably tas possible for the balance of
the night. A ballot takjeu at that hour showed

He Will Assume His New Duties
Without Delay.
Judge W'illlaifa DJ Cornish who has been
chosen first vice' president of the reorganized
Union Pacific railroad, will assume his duties
today. He will leave at onre for New York,
where he will make his home in the future.
His salary will probably be $15,000 a year.
JudKO Cornish was appointed as master in
chancery in 1894, and in this time has real
ized $2tio,ood in fees and commissions. How
ard S. Abbott, of Minneapolis, succeeds him
as master in chancery. In the old company
there still remains $5,000,000 in bunda, stock 3
and money to be disposed of. and about 50)
miles of branch lines are still operand by
the court.
In April. 18f.4. Judge Sanborn, of the United
States circuit court, appointed Judge Cornish
as master in chancery to make a report on

OXMAN'S MANY TROUBLES.
He Says People Are Calling Him
Names These Days.
Dr. Richard Price, city veterinarian, was
In the police court yesterday, charged by
Karl Oxman with using abusive language.
Oxman claims Dr. Price accosted him on
the street and applied opprobrious epithets
to him. Dr. Price's story is to the effect that
two weeks ago Oxman backed a wagon into
his buggy, damaging the vehicle, and drove
rapidly away. When he met Oxman on West
Third street Wednesday, Dr. Trice admitted
that he had not been altogether compli
mentary In what he had said. Oxman denies
that he is the man who colided with l>r.
Price's buggy.
The case was continued until next Thurs
day. - '
Oxman claimed that Patrolman McEUistrom
also called him names and had the police
man before the mayor. After hearing the
evidence Mayor Kiefer concluded that tho
charge against the officer watt unfounded and
took no action.

RACE ISSUE IS INVOLVED
ANOTHER POINT SPEUNG ON
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION
Senator Tlllman Wnrn» (he Mt-nnte

Involved In tlie Hawaiian Matter
Scnulori llol.ll> Drnouiwe In
tfrferciut' in the li. i , i !M ,| „,.„
WASHINGTON, June 30.— Late this
afternoon the senate cleared the legis
lative desks for what may be the filial
j action on the Hawaiian annexation
resolutions. Through ita action today
the last of the appropriation bills that
have been pending in oonferenca was
disposed of and was a law before mid
night.
After a debate lasting three hours "
the senate finally receded from its
amendments to the sundry civil bill,
and adopted the oanferenee report url
the Indian appropriation biil. Mr. Aili- .
son (Iowa), in charge of the bills, ex
plained that it was necessary that the
reports should be agreed to today, aa
this was the la»t day of the h'Koal year
I He pointed out that if the bllla were
net laws by midnight they would have
to be pa-s.sid again by the two branch
as of oengress. The delay consequent
upon such aoMon would seriously cm
i barrass the government and niUlit
force congress to remain in session
several weeks longer.
In denouncing the action of the con
ferees for striking out the- free homes
provision of the Indian bill, Mr. Pet
tigrew (Si\. Hep., S. D.) chargr-d the
Republican party with being 'lamin
ated by the "money power" and with
the election of senators by the corrupt
use of money.
Mr. Bate (Term.) and Mr. Til! man
(Dem., S. C.) dlseoMed at length the
Hawaiian annexation resolutions. Thf>
latter discussed the race problem
from the standpoint of a Southern man
and was characteristically vigorous in
his remarks. He accounted for the
slight intersted manifested in the
Hawaiian debase by saying that the
question was fully discussed in execu
tive session early last winter and that
It was only natural that there should
be a liatfk of interest and an unwilling
ness to listen to a repetition of speech
es delivered tonight.
In dlscuhsinp the race problem pre
served, Mr. Tillman said:
"The Philippines are already densely
populated with races for which we
have no affinity or liking. It is the
came with Porto Rico, and in some de
gree with Cuba. But we have alreidy
one perplexinr and harrass-ing problem
right here at home and that must give
us pau. c e. I mean the negro question.
The wisest statesmanship is unable to
foresee 'the final result of the presence
in the same commonwealth of two dis
tinct races, each possessing the same
rights under the law, but one of which
is superior to the other."
At the conclusion of Mr. Tillman'a
speech, Mr. Allison reported the dis
agreement between the conferees of the
two branches of congress on the sundry
civil bill.
After a discussion, which lasted mar
ly two hours, the senate voted without
division to recede from rr-nate amend
ments, and this vote passed the bill.
At the request of Mr. Allison the con
ference report on the Indian appropria
tion bill was then submitted to the
senate.
A long discussion ensued upon the
free homestead clause, at the end of
which the conference rt-p.:rt was adopt
ed.

Senate Will Weaken.
WASHINGTON. June 30.— Senator Kans
brough has been iabor'ng with the s i
