der. The suits are small, but are the

100, 900 feet of white pine logs on the
bank of the Rainy river, which were
cut on land belonging to the United

in England, Lady Henry Somerset and
Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant. They were
fighting drunkenness and vice in Eng
land. Whatever others may think Of their
ideas on temperance and morality, no
one doubts the single hearted goodness
of the aims they have in view. There
are no women more respected in Great
Britain, and yet Astor allowed his pa
per to attack them in manner that
ought to have made him blush with
shame. American editors do not attack
and hound women. They speak respect
fully Of good women engaged in praise
worthy public work, whether they agree
with the methods used or not. It must
have been from refined and high bred
British journalism that Astor took the
cue for pouring abuse upon good wom-

all the same. His public apology to

delegates, who numbered some 800 and
came from most of the states and terri.

There also was a notable absence Of
government officials, for, although
invitations had been extended to the
president and his cabinet, the supreme
court, all members of
Both Houses Of Congress
and many others Of the political circles
aud although the cooperation of many
other dignitaries had: been counted
upon no one of them put in an appear.
,ance at the afternoon meeting.
The proceedings of the first sessions
were entirely harmonious; the speeches
dealt in generalities upon the benefits
Of arbitration. No utterances were
made which might tend to embarrass
the administration in the conduct of
pending diplomatic negotiations with
England and Spain. Although no ref
erences were made to present interna-
tional questions the whole tenor of the
speeches was toward an agreement for
arbitration between the two English
speaking nations. John W. Foster
was temporary chairman and on being
introduced said:
A Record of Peace.
II cannot refrain from expressing my
pride at the record which our country
has made in the past half century of
unbroken peace with all the nations Of
the earth and of a steady adherence to
the settlement of international differ.
Hences by the pacific method of arbitra-
tion-a record almost without parallel
among the nations of the earth.''

man and made graceful speech on
taking the chair. Letters of regret
were read from Chief Justice Fuller

in the convention that impressed me-
he said, "but the wonderful develop

has been amazing. Land that few
years ago went begging at sixty-fiye

whose name is now 80 frequently men
toned for Governor.
II think the situation is clearing
up vastly the last few weeks" he re-
piled. Everybody Is more hopeful
and the Democrats are becoming san

convinced that if the National con-

candidate we will sweep the State.
And / think the silver men viii surely
control that convention, nominate the
candidate, and write the platform.
The chances Of the silver men con-
trolling at Chicago and sweeping the
state are to ten seven in our favor.
Another help to the Democratic
party in the State is the disgraceful
proceedings in the Republican con-

that have prevailed, and the pander-
