THE wEARIsoMENEss OF CON-
GRESS.

GRESS.
The congress of the United States,
and particularly what is known COM
monty as the upper branch of it, is a
WEAKNESS both to the spirit and to the
flesh. 1t seems inconceivable that in
the present condition of this country,
industrial and political, these men
should raise a hullabaloo over a per-
fectly worthless and meaningless reso-
luton looking toward grandmotherly
Intervention in Cuba, without having
one word of thought or care. for our
domestic affairs. If ever there was a.
time when our law makers We're called
upon to devote their attention strictly
to business it is this. The currency
question and the question Of revenue
and expenditure are imminent and
pressing. We have just been through
a most exciting campaign in which
these two issues were we'll to the front,
and out of which the people have a
right to expect that some practical
adjustment of them should come One
cannot conceive of the mental attitude
of a man who, remembering the great
fight that was finished a little more
than a month ago, proceeds to dismiss
it from his mind, to put aside the need
Of currency reform, to ignore the de-
mand for retrenchment in the conduct
of our government, and to devote the
%
to discussion with spectacular effects
of resolutions that do not compass and
are not meant to accomplish any eff
fective results.
If the United States proposed
to interfere directly in the Cuban
trouble and e~tosas bring about a
settlement of it, this would be differ
ent. But the silly senate resolution.
which acknowledges" the independ-
ence of paper government, would be,
if passed by both houses and signed
by the president, which it never will be,
worth no more than the paper wad shot
from a pop-gun. The actual effects of
it are limited tc another great disturb
ance of business through sensational
reports and exaggerated fears and an
unlimited flow of talk 1t will never
become operative. 1t would not change
the status one iota if it did. 1t serves
merely as storm center around which
may revolve those eIemnts Of mischief
in our highest legislative body which
delight in raising cain, and hate and
refuse every act or suggestion looking
toward practical legislation for the

LESSON IN PATRIOTISM.
High School Classes Receive an
Historic Portrait.


A pretty little cermony took place
in Central high school assembly hall
yesterday morning when Mrs. Charles
E. Smith, the president of the Lewis
Malone Aver socitey, c. A. r.. presented
to the students OF the school in the
name Of the society a large and hand
some picture Of Washington crossing
the Delaware.
Many Of the members of the society
are students of the Central high school.
When making the presentation Mrs.
Smith said:
Six months ago a second society of the
Children of the American Revolution was
organized in this city. its members compris-
ing, three who have graduated from this
high school. fifteen who are now enrolled here,
and seven, who, with one exception, will
enter these doors before long. 1t was quite
fitting, therefore that when when they looked
around for some patriotic work to do. this
school should be the one they sought to honor
and that it should be unanimously decided to
present this school with a picture of some
patriotic event. hoping thereby to learn to
understand and love our country better, and to
influence other youths to the same purpose"

brilliant achievements. One hundred and
twenty years ago, on the dark and stormy
night of Dec %, with the Delaware river
full of ice, Washington, with two divisions
Of his army, crossed from the Pennsylvania
shore into New Jersey and marched nine
miles to Trenton in order to surprise the
Hessians stationed there under Col. Rail.
Surprising that. according to the German
custom, the garrison would spend Christmas
in reyelry and therefore be off their guard
Washington had determined to surprise them
and the surprise complete for LOCO

MISFORTUNE, NOT A MENACE

A MISFORTUNE, NOT A MENACE.
The suspension yesterday of the Bank
of Minnesota was a topic Of general
comment and called out an expression
of universal regret This institution
has had long and honorable career
lahors of a lifetime by one of our most
honored and admirable citizens. 1t grew
to great strength and held and de-
served the entire confidence of the peo-
pie. 1t succumbed at last to the long
struggle against adverse conditions
that marked the period of industrial
depression in this country. Its sus-
pension is not failure in the ordinary
sense of the term. There was no crash
There will be NO losses. The bank SIM
ply found itself unable to meet press
ing liabilities; and it's management de-
cided, like the high minded men that
they are, to take no chances on the
future at the expense Of their deposit
ors, but to close their doors until the

adjusting the business and paying the
creditors That every dollar of in
debtedness will be paid in full is amply
assured by the amount and character
holders and the pledge of the fortunes
of those who suffer most severely by
the unhappy event.
In such misfortune as that which
has overtaken William Dawson ST., the
president, and William Dawson Jr., the
cashier, it is much, 1t is something
worth more than fortune itself to re-
ceive, as they do, the universal sym
pathy of the public. Everywhere yes
terday that this event was mentioned
there was but one expression of opin-
ion. No one doubted the full payment
of all claims, and every man FASTENED
to pay his tribute of respect and adj
miraton to the men who have made
a heroic bat unavailing struggle, ana
who never stood higher in the esteem
Of a people who have known them all
their lives than they do today. We
need hardly add that TINS failure has
no relation to and will have no effect
upon the business interests of the city
in general. 1t is a personal misfortune
but contains nothing of menace. The
financial condition of. st. Paul is ex-
cellent, the public mind is confident
and all the facts of this temporary sus-
pension, which we lay before the peo-
pie, are such as to occasion regret and
at the same time remove every posi-
bility of further apprehension.

tricate questions that will follow the
change OF conditions.
The commission believes that the
other Indian nations are likely to fol-
low the action of the Choctaws at an
early date. 1t is possible, however
that there may still be some hitch
in carrying out the treaty. A protest
against the treaty doubtless will be
made to congress. Another obstacle,
possible, but not probable. may be
presented by the Choctaws themselves
when the treaty Is submitted by the
delegation who sign 1T, to the nation
itself, in case such ratification is nec-
essary. In this connection it is under
stood that over q score Of different
drafts of the treaty were prepared and
considered before the present one was
