SPEAKING of the Republican Ma
tional convention, the st. Paul Globe
says: 1.-THE idea that National con-
Yentions naturally benefit doubtful
states is an absurdity." Yet in the
same issue noticing the fact the Bos-
ton will reach out for the Democratic
National convention, it says: with
four New England states hanging by
the party gills, as it were. it will have
a strong case from the political side
of the question" So it seems that
sometimes conventions have an in
tiuence.

FoNSECA has resigned the dictator
ship of Brazil. In this he has shown
more sense than most of the tyrants
who have tried to maintain them
selves in power in the southern repub-
lies. His resignation will probably
avert a bloody revolution and save his
own life. 1t also indicates that there
is powerful sentiment abroad ia
Brazil in favor OF a free government.
The days OF one man power are num-
bered with those gone by.

ABOUT the only thing the free
trade papers can say favorable to rec

small scale. This being true it has
this much advantage over their
sweeping policy. 1t tends to build up
a trade with countries where it will
be to our advantage, and does not
open the door anywhere to the disad-
vantage Of our industrial institu-
tiOns.
