A New African Map.

There must be new map OF
Africa, and several of the Euro
pean powers are anxious to show
how it should be done. England
has made several attempts to
change the lines, and Germany is
not averse to doing something of
the same sort, while France would
feel very much lnsulted were she
left out of it. However, as long
as Minnesota and the North west is
as attractive as they are people
don t care much what happens to
Africa. Africa is not a summer
resort, while summer resorts in
Vulnerable dot the St. Paul and
Duluth Railroad, which is the
peoples popular route between
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater, Tay-
lor's Falls and other Northwest
err points of Importance. Its
fast trains are always fitted with
latest and most approved equip
ment and run at convenient hours
through most picturesque and
fruitful region, making close
connections at handsome terni-
nails with trains and boats running
in all directions. It's facilities
and it's admirable service have for
years made it the most popular
route between the points named,
so that the people always use the
Duluth Short Line. Information,

Another Man Heard From.

Is this country going to have for
eign relation with Hawaii? 1t looks
that way. In January 1898. Hawaii was
turned topsy-turvy. One day, several
foreign residents at Honolulu, backed
by United States marines whose con-
duct. we believe. ought never to have
been approved in this country, put
Queen Liliuokalani out of power and
took possession of the government in
the name of themselves.
The next day. January II. found these
foreigners-they were Americans-en-
gagged in the republic business on their
own account In this country, the Ha-
waiian incident was discussed to the
WEAKNESS of the public-among our
people there will always be two sets of
opinions as to the merits of the case
The trouble was and is that President
Cleveland went radically wrong in
handling the situation; he wasn't con-
sulting Olney regarding foreign COM
plications in those days.
Last month the men who put them
selves into the control Of Hawaii got up
a seventeenth-of-Januar celebration.
Word reaches this country that United
States Minister Willis did not partici-
pate in the festivities. For this offense.
it is said that the managers of the re-
public having headquarters at Homo
lulu propose to give Willis his walking
papers.
We suppose that the dismissal of
Willis would not be a matter of grave
account What most amuses those who
read the news from Hawaii is the rea-
son he is alleged TO have given for his
refusal to join the diplomatic corps In
the January celebration; he declined
SO II is said, on the ground that Pres
ident Cleveland did not approve the
manner in which the monarchy wa'
overthrow"
How now? There may be difference
of opinion about former Hawaiian com
plications, but we are prepared TO be
lieve that, with one heart and on
mind, the people of the United state
will come together on the diplomat
proposition that Willis must be an un
utterable noodle.

legislation has harmed certain inter
ests. wool is conspicuously one of them.
That product gets no consideration
whatever in the scheme which the sill
yer senators are asked to put through
on the plea that il is a party measure.
That is to say, the republican party
says to republicans representing Colo
RADIO. Montana, Wyoming and other
states: You are disturbers in persist
ing for the free coinage. We demand
that you drop the issue. We want GER
tain lines of protection voted; we can
not pay any attention to your states, or
your wool or your particular interests,
but we insist that you fall in and vote
what protection we arrange for; we
cannot worry about your northwestern
wants"
That is rubbing il in. 1t is not n won
der that the senators representing the
Northwest resent this shabby treat
ment. 1t may be that, with the repub-
lican senators we have named, the pol
lev is to stand out until, under the
head of protection, they get something
out of their Iarty. What their plan
may be is small odds to us; we approve
any policy which serves to remind the
managers that silver is in the ring and
is pretty shifty.

mo power on earth can stop the
fight" was the observation of Dan
Stuart when congress passed the cat
ron bill prohibiting prize-fighting in
the territories. Mr.. Stuart's dogmatic
utterance was promptly knocked down
and out, and not by the United states
government either. The fight has been
stopped, at least temporarily, by one OF
the most insignificant powers on earth,
to-wit, a few grains of sand. This
mornings news from FL Paso is to the
effect that the Maher party has asked
for a further postponement of the fight
until Friday; that the Fitzsimmons
people are not disposed to grant the
request; that a large number OF the
would-be spectators are leaving in dis
gust; that there is likely to be row
over the forfeit money; that in fact
everything is at skies and sevens. The
"pugilistic carnival to all present APP
pearances is a miserable fiZZle. Mr..
Stuart, if he is wise, will not express
himself so confidently hereafter IN fore
casting future events. Prize-nghts are
about as uncertain as politics.

They're Doing Quite Well.

An Inter Mountain special dispatch
of last evening says that the Montana
senators and some of their republican
associates are scored by goldbug people
and the goldbug press because they do
not train strictly within the party lines.
The Standard holds itself ready TO
forget all about partisan considerations
when the silver question is at issue We
like TO see Montana men in congress
stand up for the idea that Montana is
at least as much their care and con-
Germ as are the protected interests of
New Jersey or Connecticut or Pennsyl-
vania. We like the course pursued by
the states delegation in congress; we
are glad that they are earning the good
will of their constituents in respect to
siIver-and IL doesn't make very much
difference which political party put
them in office.
There are ample reasons in justifica-
ton of the course pursued by these
gentlemen. In the first place. this coun-
try. as the result Of democratic tariff
legislation, is not on a free-trade basis
or on an approach thereto. With excep-
tions which may be easily enumerated.
the tariff law now in operation is not a
radical departure from the law under
which the country has lived most OF the
time for a generation. The present law
IS not up TO the full measure OF Nc
Kinley protection. Which VIGOROUSLY
has fostered trusts and nursed monop-
DIV but the Wilson bill is essentially a
conservative republican code.
In the second place. the tariff revision
now sought by the republicans distinct
~ ignores the items in which the silver
,snatorg lust mentioned have an i'm.

hey're After Him.

The fact that Senator Cameron is an
eastern republican and also a friend of
free coinage is making a martyr of
him. In Pennsylvania the republicans
have all the pins set to knock Mr..
Cameron out next year. He has an
nounced that he will not be a candidate
for the senate, but that doesn't appear
to make the Pennsylvania republicans
happy: they We're hoping that he would
take the field so that they might have
the satisfaction of downing him.
Lately, however. these Pennsylvan
ians have become so impatient that it
troubles them TO reflect that they must
have another year Of free-coinage Cam
erun. Several republican newspapers
which are recent arrivals in the Stand
ards Keystone exchange list
say that, If he cannot vote on the right
side of the silver question. he ought
TO step down and out They point out
the fact that during the year of his
term that remains the silver question
will be presented in various forms
and Pennsylvania is certain 10 be dis
! graced ana numlllateu. IntSe WoTNS
/ we quote from a Philadelphia republic
! can newspaper which isn't saying a
word about Senator Quay, now that he
has demonstrated his political pull, but
y IL is a republican organ which used to
call Quay a thief and brand him as a
/ man fit for prison.
Senator Cameron was a good-enough
man TO be secretary of war in Pr,si-
| dent Grants cabinet; he was a good
enough republican To Zoe chairman OF
the party's national campaign commit
tee in an exciting presidential cam.
paiCn, he succeeded his father i'm IN,
federal senate. and he has had m,ri'
enough To serve with distinction nine
teen years. He has ability enough Il
be in advance of his party on the silve
question, just as he was patriots
enough to be in advance of it on IN,

ures on account Of which. when thes
measures were pending, he was loade,

at him now. That Mr. Cameron vii

Times belief is probably well founded.
But hearien unto its conclusions: such
a bargain was made in 1880, and 1t gave
us the mischievous and iniquitous Sher-
