If the Minnesota congressional delega tion will for once throw aside their petty jealousies and that envy, malice and un charitableni ss which has on too many oc vasi«,ns eha-raetertzed their dealings with r, they might accomplish dur ing the ensuing session one work which Would be of great benefit to the state. The government survey of Minnesota, although almost completed, has been hanging fire for several years to the great injury and detriment of the state. Only forty-two whole and te n fractional town- Bhips, including that singular jumping-off known as the "Northwest Angle," remain unsurveyed, and the estimated :" surveying these townships and completing the government survey of the Is estimated at $27,000 for the forty-two towns and the ten fractions end $3,000 for the northwest angle. the survey is completed, the mp and other land claims could be finally adjusted, lossss to- the state by contests and squatting would cease, the of United States surveyor general be closed and, as has b^en done in other states under similar circumstances, the government plats and field notes of survey which have accumulated in that iild be turned over to the state land department. Minn; sota Is old enough to have its sur vey closed up, and such action would be in the interests of economy. The present incumbent of the office of surveyor gen eral would not suffer as the work would occupy more than his full term before it Is completed, and an end would be put to the expensive and annoying contests and litigation m which the state is now and ! en involved owing to the non-com- I pletion of the survey. The attention of Minnesota's senators and representatives in congress is respect fully drawn to the importance of securing from congress an appropriation of not J30.000 for this purpose, and if j they will disnlay some energy and act together they can obtain it. The Globe recommends this matter to them for their careful consideration and action. — — EMBALMED BEEF IX ENGLAND. Th. embalmed beef episode will live in the history of our war with Spain. So far as known nobody ever suffered injury through it except alor.e the soldiers who were compelled to use the embalmed beef for food. Gen. Eagan was suspended for five years on full pay, but It was not on account of the bad beef, but of his bad manners. Indeed it has been established officially with the utmost certainty, no matter what the soldiers or general pub lic may think, that there never was such a thing as embalmed beef served to the soldiers in Cuba. There was somewhat too much of a ration known as canned roast beef, and to that extent only did the subsist-no- department of the army under the redoubtable Eagan* merit criticism. The general public has not concerned itself greatly as to just what rate the government paid for the tons of rotten beef which were emptied into the waters of the blue Caribbean. M has since become apparent that not all the rotten or rotting beef products of American packers were dumped from the decks of our vessels off the coast of Cuba, or consumed by the hungry soldiery of Uncle Sam. For, according to the cable dispatches of late, "1,600 rations of salt carrion, labeled New York, 1893," have been emptied from one British transport. Since Gen. Eagan has avow-d his purpose to insist on vindication- and restoration at the hands of the incoming congress, it might be well for him to in form the general public as to the details of the supplying of this ration to the British authorities, as they may tend to show how easily even the most rigid com missary officials may be imposed on in this direction. It is really a great misfortune that the operations of this particular class of rogue should have thus extended outsida of our own country. Whatever honest American packers may have done for their own vindication In connection with the embalmed beef business, they certain ly ewe it to their own interests as well as to the commercial good name of this peo ple to inform themselves of the origin of that salt carrion imported from New York undf.r contract with the British au thorities. The disposition exists in very marked form all ov?r the continent of Europe to believe the worst that can be said of our meat exports. That particular form of In dustry has encountered tho deepest preju dice in foreign countries. Much ado was made In Germany and other foreign coun trits while the embalmed beef occupied the stage about the dangerous character of American biealstuffs. This particular transaction will arouse even greater feel ing. Unless the Ameiican meat exporters are willing to assume generally the odium of this transaction, they will hasten to enlighten the world as to who the par licular offender is ii; this case. _^^_ TO BE FIXALLY SETTLED. The decision of Judge Lochren against the state of Minnesota in the Duluth & liun Range railroad land grant case is not to be allowed to stand without ap peal. The state commission, consisting of Gov. Lind, State Auditor Dunn and Attorney General Douglas, which has charge of this and similar litigation, has decided to take an appeal' to a higher court. Whether it will be carried to the United States supreme court or to the United States circuit court of appeals is not yet determined. The basis for such an appeal will be laid broadly enough, it is presumed, to have the main, in fact the vital* claim and contention of the state finally adjudicated. Tha question of the construction of the railroad, the lc cation of its line, the feasibility of the route, the proximity and availability of dockage facilities, are simply side issues which do not seriously enter into the main issue of the case; and that issue is, "Did the state of Minnesota, by the adoption of the constitutional amend ment of ISSI, making- disposition of all swamp lands owned or hereafter to ac crue to the state," resume possession of all swamp lands which had theretofore been granted to aid In railroad construc tion, but had not been earned? It is not claimed, so far as ths Globe is aware, that the railroad company had earned its grant In IbSI, and as it was not what Is known as a grant "in praesenti," but was a conditional grant and could not be earned before the conditions attached had been fulfilled, the state has held that such indeterminate "float" grants might be forfeited and the lands re sumed by a b'roaa general act such as the constitutional arnfnJment. Judg-e Lochren decides that forfeitures | of land grants must be specific and j must particularise the grant v.'hich is to be frrf cited thereby. This will give the lawyers a chance to argue the ques tion whether such a special forfeiture as JuOge Lrchren requires would not be special legislation of the character pro hibited by the constitution. It would not be simply a repealing act; that would not be sufficient according to Judge- Loch ren's process of reasoning, and if it was more than a repealing act relating to some specific condition or to a particular corporation, why wouM not such an act come without the prohibition of the cou stitution? If only for the purpose of relieving the state from such a possible dilemma the decision to- appeal the case merits ap proval. Tha interests involved arc too 1 large to leave the Question of the valid ity of the Duluth & Iron Range Railroad company's grant unsettled, and when ttte i case is passed upon by the court of last I resort neither party will have grounds for further contention. It will scarcely fail to be noticed that so far our friends, the Republicans, have utterly failed to suggest any other can didate for the Democrats save W. J. Bryan.— St. Paul Globe. Why shouldn't they? Bryan as the Democratic leader is satisfactory to the Republicans.— Minneapolis Journal. Why, then, discourage his nomination? With the possible exception of the Jour nal, all the Republican papers declare that his election is impossible. Is this diplomacy? A Boston pastor comes forward with the opinion that Sunday newspapers "rob | editors, reporters and pressmen of Sun i day rest." But how can ihat be when none of the work on a Sunday newsp ;per is done on Sunday. It Is posslb'.e, tVough, that reading some of the New England Sunday papers may be a bit tiresome. The administration organs are still banging away at the reputation of Ad miral Schley. notwithstanding the fact that his reputation is secure in the hearts of the American people and likely to re main so indefinitely. And Schley isn't saying a word. For the payment annually of $55$ George J. Gould has leased for five years the shooting rights on 8,709 acres of land in Guilford county, North Carolina. Mr. Gould has the price to shoot the chu'es, even, whenever he may consider it neces sary. John Wanamaker, a Republican, says that "fraud is so prevalent in e'.ecti'>ns in Pennsylvania that republican govern ment no longer exists there." Now let Republican organs load up and fire an other broadside into Kentucky. Judging from the flamboyant tone of the Republican press, after the IDOO elec tion the only resource left for D?mo.rat ic statesmen will b2 tightening up rh noc eros hides with a carpet stretcher. When it comes to receiving the resig nation of Secretary of the Navy Long, any old day will suit the American peo ple. And the American people will be just as resigned as the secretary. Having completed the publication of a series of philipp.es against noonday lunch es, the New York World is now impart ing valuable suggestions on "How to Live a Hundred Years." "When the stomach works the brain should rest," says the New York World. Here is a good excuse for the stomach to strike for eight hours' work— and ten hours' pay. The queen of Portugal is said to have "taken up medicine as a fad," but it may be considered quite certain that she will never take it down as a fad. It now looks as if Admiral Schlty would get away to the South Atlantic before the editor of the New Yoik Sun has a chance to get a pop shot at him. Announcement of the breaking of the THE ST. PAUI, GLOBE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1899. backbone of the- Fillptno rebellion came simultaneously with the capture of Seno ra Aguinaldo's wardrobe. It Is sad, but too true, that Miss Helen Gould has too grood reason to blush for her brother-in-law, the odious Count Cas tellane. The longer he lives the more "stren uous" Teddy Roosevelt grows.

Today is the patronal feast day of Mother Clementine, superior of the Visi tation convent. It will be observed by the community and the pupils with becoming manifestations. But when all is said and done there something more is needed in the tribute to one of the really remarka ble women in St. Paul. It Is Indisputable that much of the finest, noblest and most enduring work has been and is done by the quiet, unobtrusive women in the world and in the cloister. Many of them have abilities that, were they exercised in public, would secure distinction. Yet, as the feminine majority of today prefers the requital or the applause of the busi ness, political and philanthropic lists, it is well to have a counter-balancing con tingent who loves unobtrusiveness in the conduct of life and effort. Since coming here twenty-five years ago in the original group of vlsitandines, Sister Clementine, whenever elected mother superior, has directed the spirit ual, secular and educational affairs of tha convent with knowledge, practical skill and a firmness of mind by which difficul ties were overcome, and lasting advan tages secured. Ceaselessly animated by a loving vo cation to teach, and an unwearied activity in keeping pace with the intellectual re quirements of her position, she has been a successful aspirant after every needed form of learning, until her energetic men tal alertness has made the convent school curriculum of the present time so perfect, that if the town were aware of its excel lence, pupils would not leave home to be educated. At intervals one hears shallow persona say that convent schools are of the past, I and cannot now compete with secular in stitutions, etc.— overlooking the fact that religious orders whose mission is teaching are not so unmindful of their interests as to neglect any essentials in promoting them. During the summer vacation the best teachers and professors instruct the clois tered orders in^all the varied exactions of complete advanced teaching. The purpose of this notice Is not to catalogue studies, although it is not amiss to mention them in writing of Mother Clementine, whose understanding, spirit and high resolves have compassed so much for the educational success of the convent. The humble, gentle nun wou'd shrink from the very thought of public mention, but happily she cannot hinder it. AT THE THEATERS. METROPOLITAN. The sale of seats for the engagement of Hoyt's "A Trip to Chinatown" opens at the box office of the Metropolitan today. The engagement will be for the entire week, with matinees Wednesday, Thurs day and Saturday. At the Metropolitan, tonight, the Neill company begins the last half week of their long engagement in this city, which has extended over a period covering near ly six months. Tonight the Neills will present their first stock production of Eisner's four-act romantic drama, "Amy Robsart," the dramatization of Sir Wal ter Scott's famous story, '"Kenilworth." GRAND. With its Frenchy comedy scenes, its bright music and numerous entertaining specialty features, '"Hotel Topsy Turvy," as it Is produced at the Grand, offers much that is new in the line of comedy. A new melodrama, entitled "We Uns of Tennessee," will be the attraction at the Grand the coming week. TEMPLE QUARTETTE. The Boston Temple quartette, who sing for the Y. M. C. A. course at the People's church tomorrow (Friday) evening, is at the head of American quartettes, the best in the world. The indications are that this fine attraction will be received in .St. Paul by a larger audience than ever before gathered at the People's church, ARTISTS' CONCERT SERIES. The song recital to be given by David Bispham at the People's church next Mon day will furnish a programme of variety and interest running from Handel's "O, Ruddier Than the Cherry" down to Rud yard Kipling's "Danny Deever," with mu sic by Mr. Damrosch. The arrangement of the numbers has been made by Mr. Bispham with reference to producing an evening of the purest pleasure rather than to merely show off the breadth and compass of his voice. The seat sale opens tomorrow morning at Howard, Farwell & Co.'s. CHERRY SISTERS. The Cherry Sisters will appear at Rau denbush hall (formerly- Conover hall) to night, Friday and Saturday nights. The Cherries are carrying with them Little Ruby and Hazel Jackson, who have cap tivated every audience before which they have appeared with their specialties In cake walking, singing and dancing. _^a. TAMPERING WITH JURORS. t'liarspe Ipon Which Three Pliila. --«i«! jihiiins Were Arrested. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22.— Charged with attempting to influence the Jury In the conspiracy and bribery cases against former United States District Attorney Eller P. Ingham and his law partner, Harvey K. Newitt, Thomrts ODea, Harry J. Fairbanks and George W. I'effer, all of this city, were arrested today by secret service operatives. Ingham and Newitt were convicted In the United States district court of com plicity in the famous revenue stamp c ui terfeiting conspiracy, headed by William M. Jacobs and William L. Kendig, of Lancaster, Pa. They are now awaiting sentence. The three men arrested today were ar raigned before a United States commis sioner and were committed in default of $500 bail each for a further hearing next Friday afternoon. RICH REWARD. Wreckers Recover $Ift,(VOO In Gold From Spanish V. ursliip. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 22.— The wreckers working on the sunken Spanish armored cruiser Almirante Oquendo yes terday discovered a chest containing $19, --000 in Spanish gold, which the Cendoya company, the firm employing the divers, will retain. Work on the cruiser has been in progress for five months, and many thousands of dollars worth of treas ure has been secured. The safe was found in the bottom, where it fell during th« burning of the ship. Only a few days ago the wreckers-be gan on the torpedo boat destroyer Furor. They have already found a service of heavy silver plate. Experts assert, after inspecting the destroyer, that she might easily have been raised and repaired. The wrecking operations have proved a source of large returns to the company, estimated at $50,000. Famine In Paper Trade. CHICAGO, Nov. 22.— The paper trade l s threatened with a famine according to several large manufacturers. Low water In streams which supply the paper mills is said to be the cause of the scarcity. All grades and quality of paper have advanced in price from 30 to 40 per cent within the last sixty days and dealers and jobbers fight for the chance to buy even at advanced rates. IN SHAPE FOR FIGHT DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL BE BET TER EQUIPPED IN 1000 THAN EVER BEFORE, SAYS HON. THOMAS D. O'BRIEN The State National Commhtoemun Says the Executive Committee De votes Itself to Such Routine Mi Should Be Disposed of From Time to Tluie— lt* Not Bouiulng Candi dates or Making Platform*. Col. Rosing, Gov. Lind's private secre tary, Charles A. Towne. and National Commltteeman Thomas D. O'Brien re turned from Chicago yesterday where they attended a meeting of the executive committee o£ the national committee. Mr. O'Brien, said regarding the gather ing: "There is a great deal of misconception with regard to the business transacted by the executive committee of the na tional committee, at the meetings which have been held at Chicago from time to time. Heretofore- it has been the custom to hold no meetings of the national com mittee from the close of one campaign until the time arrived for the calling of the next convention. The result has been that each national committee has been compelled to build up its organization anew, and, realizing how much valuable time has been lost during each campaign, on this account, Senator Jones conceived the plan of forming an active organiza tion at this time which would be in shape to be turned over to the new national committee, to be elected at the next con vention, and, as he was compelled on ac count of his health to be in Europe, dur ing last summer, he secured the serv ices of Gov. Stone and Mr. Johnson in this work. The result was the forming of the various subcommittees last July, the most important of which was the execu tive committee, and that committee, when it met, established permanent headquar ters at Chicago, and placed Mr. John son, the chairman of the executive com mittee, in charge. The time of the ex ecutive committee at each of its meet ings has been principally taken up with routine work, and at no time has the committee attempted to determine upon what the platform of the Democratic party should be, or who will ba the can didate of that party; for, while the com mittee is composed of men who sup ported Mr. Bryan in 1896, and have no doubt of his nomination in 1900, they have been careful to confine themselves to their proper duties and to avoid any ap pearance of attempting to dictate to the I convention or to the national committee which will be elected at that convention. "It would be almost impossible to enumerate all of the good results which have already followed the plan of organi zation. They are summed up in the state ment that a strong and effective organ ization is rapidly being perfected. The national committee is everywhere being brought into closer touch with the state organizations. The members of the com mittee geneially are becoming better in formed as to the conditions existing in the various states. Suggestions from various sources are constantly being placed before Senator Jones or Mr. John son, and these are canvassed and dis cussed, and in short, instead of being a rather vague and wholly inactive and disunited body, the national committee has become an active and live organiza tion, using its best efforts to secure the success of the Democratic party at the next election. "Preparations are being made to issue a large amount of literature during the coming winter. These documents will present to the public what is understood to be the position of the Democratic party upon the various questions now'ln teresting the publio, so that the people will have an opportunity of -making up their minds upon public questions before partisanship clouds the issues. By ignoring the contentions of all factions, the executive committee seems to have eliminated factional fights from the party The troubles of the press bureau have disappeared, and at the last meeting at Chicago no vexatious questions of the rights of any factions were considered or even suggested. The indications are that the party will enter upon the cam paign of 1900 bstter equipped and better organized than it ever was, and any statement to the contrary may be put down to those who see in factional dif ferences among Democrats the surest hope of Republican success. While the members of the committee are enthusias tic supporters of Mr. Bryan, and undoubt edly have views as to who should occupy second place, and as to what particular decelarations should be contained in the platform, these being all matters which are outside the scope of the committee's duties, they do not arise in the meet ings. "One very satisfactory result which Is apparent is that the members of the na tional committee generally are becoming better informed and take more interest in conditions in the Western states In deed, the middle West is rapidly coming to be considered the battleground of the next compaign. The result of the elec ! tion of 1898 in Minnesota attracts par ticular attention, and the Minnesota forces outside of Republicanism have a considerable responsibility resting upon them ano no slight cause should Jje al lowed to induce any of them to take , a backward step at this time. Indeed it will be difficult to explain to the nation at large how Republican defeat could be secured in 18S8, if the same result cannot be achieved in 1900." * • • Senator Davis, in'speaking of the death of Vice President Hobart yesterday, said: "The late Vice President Hobart was personally a most engaging man. He was an excellent presiding officer, and had the entire, confidence of all the senators of whatever politics. He was an influence In J the councils and measures of his party. i and his advice was much sought for and highly regarded." ♦ * » A. T. Ankeny, an old-time Democrat, was asked yesterday what, if any, com fort was to be found in the late elections. As Mr. Ankeny had a great deal to do with shaping the policy a year or so ago which resulted in the election of Gov. Lind, his opinions upon the present po litical situation will not be wholly without significance. "Comfort," replied Mr. Ankeny, "there is no comfort about it. We are much in the condition of the fellow that was kick ed to death by a mule. There are hardly any 'remains' left." w'a?asked. SGe &ny Way to rec °ver?" he "Yes. The Democratic party can win the next election if it has the good sense to look carefully into existing conditions. It must first of all recognize those con ditions. We do not stand where we did three years ago. Then the money ques tion was the all-absorbing topic and we were in the throes of hard times. Today that question, if not a settled one, is a shelved one. Better conditions prevail generally in business. We have therefore .come to the turning of the roads, and the only thing to do is to wheel around, go back and strike out in a totally different direction." "What do you mean by a different direction?" "I mean simply to go forward in the lines of progress. We must accept the situation just as we find it. Take the Philippine question, for instance. That was a settled question the moment the treaty was ratified. The Islands are ours whether we wanted them or not, and ours they will remain. The only thing to do with them or about them is to see that they are well and properly governed. Thu rest will take care of itself. That govern ment, however, is one wholly for congress to determine, the coming winter. If that body shall neglect to provide for them a proper government, giving to them the largest possible liberty and self-control, but on the other hand shall allow the administration to carry on an unneces sary, meaningless and expensive war, and thereafter saddle upon them a carpet-bag government to plunder and -rob, then the conscience of our people will be aroused and nothing -can; stay its tremendous wrath. No 'imperialism' will be allowed. The government given them must be as nearly that o£c one of our territories as can be. In ray judgment this issue will soon come t<r% fdcus, and we will have It in something worth fighting for. The American republic must be preserved at all hazards." ft i ' But what abcut owning possessions sj far away?" "There is no.ihins in .that proros'tion. Luzon is tcday n.oie access.vie than Tex- aB was ftftjr years agro. For nearly th» life of a generation, too, we have owned territory within fifty miles of the Asiatic continent, while the average distance of the Philippines is more than 500 miles from that continent. They are far more accessible than the western border of Alaska, They have a better climate. They are on the highway to the vast fields which must be the world's great markets. The people may be, as Kipling calls them, half devil, half child,' but they are superior on the whole to the natives of Alaska. "I believe, too," continued Mr. Ankeny, "that our best Interests demand at once the admission as states of both Cuba and Porto Rico. The administration, of course, will say it is too early, they are not yet fitted for it, while irt the mean, time the vast aggregations of capital here will plant their fangs Into the vitals of everything valuable there. It is the true hitsory of our form of government that peoples shall become states as fast as they attain a fair number of population. Local self-government is the very bul wark of our free intsitutions, and to hold those great and powerful islands for an indefinite term as dependencies would be cruel to them and dangerous to us." • • ■» Capt. P. W. Wlldt, formerly a promi nent and active Minneapolis politician, and connected with the dairy and food commission during the Clough adminis tration, returned to Minneapolis yester day^ from a trip to Europe. When in Copenhagen Capt. Wildt met Senator Knute Nelson and they traveled together as far. as Rotterdam. He relat«3 that when the senator reached Rotterdam he remained "incog- for five days regis tering as K. Nelson, farmer, Norway, and the time was passed seeing the sights from the top seats on the street cars. During his audience with the venerable king of Denmark, the latter, as is the custom in diplomatic intercourse, spoke in the language of his visitor, but owing to old age and lapses of memory, the monarch fared indifferently in wrestling with English. Seeing his embarrassment^ Senator Nelson came to the rescue and addressed him in good old-fashioned Norse. The idea of a United States sen ator speaking it so fluently astonished the aged king, who expressed his amaze ment that a citizen of, this country should have such a command of the language.

Faithful to the leUer and the spirit of America's constitution, we admit and proclaim equal civil politi cal and social rights for all American citizens, and in this manner we secure social peace and uniting our energies prepare the way for the growth of the nation and the prosperity and happiness of the whole American people.

SPRINGFIELD, 0.. Nov. 22.— The Na tional Grange will adjourn sine die to morrow afternoon. Important in today's proceedings were the reports of the com mittees on "trusts" and the merchant ma rine, both of which were adopted. Tho trust committee's report was as follows: The National Grange express their ap proval of the address of our worthy mas ter, Aaron Jones, regarding trusts, and demand the enactment by congress of such laws aa will protect the people against all combinations of men and cap ital inimical to public policy. We are not opposed to associations of interests which merely lessen the cost of production, but we are decidedly opposed to the misuse of the power which large combinations of capital give for the pur- ! pose of destroying competition, control- I ling production and arbitrarily dictating prices of commodities. Association, as opposed to legislation, is one thing; com bination, as opposed to population, is an other. We are opposed to corporations or trusts which control the source of sup ply and like the Standard Oil company, reach out their arms and embrace all i competition. Special favors are granted i them by railroads, thus enabling them to j undersell and force to the wall the small er dealers, who might otherwise compete with them. We encourage the invest ment of capital in every branch of legiti mate industry, and demand fair play. The construction of the Erie canal bene fited the farmer. Competition has re> duced the price of transportation in New York 80 per cent during the^ast twenty nve years. The expansion of our terri tory and commerce tends to Increase tha number of capitalized associations. The greed and selfishness which too often actuate men has become an element of danger and must be controlled. It must be made impossible for socalled trusts to accumulate millions by selling watered stock without adding to the wealth of the country. Therefore we recommend: RECOMMENDATIONS. First— lnspection of all corporations as in the case of national banks. No cor poration should be tolerated whose books cannot bear such inspection. Second— Prohibition of all rebates or dis criminations by public carriers. Third— Taxation of all capital stock. Fourth— All capital stock should be paid up in full with severe penalty for violation of the law (A) by fortfeiture of charter, fine and imprisonment; (B) by impeachment, fine and imprisonment of all public officials whose duty it may be to enforce the law and who fail to perform that duty. We would advise many petitions to congress to pass remedial legislation along the lines above suggested. We ask the members of our body to secure state legislation not in conflict with national laws, but suited to the peculiar require ments of their respective states One of the greatest evidence of trusts is their power to control elections and cor rupt officials. This can be remedied by educating the people. Meanwhile, we must control by the strong arm of au thority. One principle worthy of con sideration is thus stated: Whenever monopolies are based upon the acquisition I of nearly the entire supply of national treasures of any sort, or upon exclusive ownership of raw material of any kind government ownership of the source of supply is called for. The National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry pledges its best support for the suppression of such dangerous asso ciation, and we invite the earnest co operation of every liberty-loving self-re specting citizen of the republic. The merchant marine resolution was adopted as follows: That we most heartily desire the up building of our merchant marine, but we are emphatically opposed to the principle of subsidy, and believe the results can and will be accomplished without resort ing thereto.
