The immediate success scored by the Giffen-
Neill company at the Metropolitan opera
house has been more pronounced, potn from
a dramatic and social point or vieW' thah
that. of any engagement that mas taken
place in st. Paul in great many months.
The social side Of the affair is certainly
most delightful one, and the Individual menl-
bers of the Giffen-Neill company are IN re-
ceipt of numerous invitations to receptions
and dinners proposed affairs, provid1ng
they will accept the invitation to be present.
Robert Drouet is pronounced by the feminine
patrons Of the Metropolitan one of the most
charming and attractive leading men that
has ever appeared upon that stage. This

Dear Sir The performance by the Gifen-
Neiu company last night at your theater
pleased me so much thatI wish to show you
my personal appreciation Of your efforts in

artistic merit of the company. Sincerely
yours, j. w. LusK.

More than all, how will it affect the

Among the visitors in the city yes
terday was Senator Wing, of Goodhue
county. 'It is possible that we may
not have any township schools in Good
hue county this year." he said, "but we
will surely have them by this time
next year. There is the strongest sen
timent down where live for this sys-
tenn. Many of the farmers in my Sec
ton of the state feel hardly able to
send their children to the cities to
school, and yet they realize that what
is termed an ordinary school education
is insufficient for either young man
or woman starting out to take up life's
battle. For this reason they are anx-
ious to take every possible step in or

sary right where they live"

The five young men living in the

MORAL TRAINING IN SCHOOLS.

Starting on misconception of the
purpose Of the paper read by Miss
Evans, principal of Carleton college, be-
fore the school union in this city, our
Northfield correspondent naturally
travels wrong path through his cri-
tique. The paper was not review Of
the practical result Of moral train
ing in the public schools but a state
ment of conditions, for which she gave
her authorities, which she presented
as a reason why there should be dis
tinct, purposeful training of morals as
a part of the curriculum Of the schools.
There was no claim made by her that
there has ever been any special in
struction in that line in the schools, nor
that there has been anything more
than the influence of association with
moral and high-minded teachers. This
removal of a misconception clears away
a large portion of the criticism made
on the address.
AS to the statements Of men Of af-
fairs made to Miss Evans, upon which
her argument rested, they were largely
matters of individual Judgment of men.

STILL COWARDLY.

The message of President Mckinley
is a ridiculous outcome of all the Re-
publican denunciation that. we have
heard concerning the attitude of this
country toward Cuba. One has but to
turn back to the files of ttihHfsse or four
months ago to read columns Of vitu-
perative. abuse Of Mr.. Cleveland and
his administration because they did
nothing for Cuba. We have been told
since the 4th of March that Mr.. McKin-
ley was waiting until, through trusted
agents Of his own, he could ascertain
the exact facts Of the Cuban situation,
and then the machinery of the govern
ment would at last be set in motion
in behalf cf Cuban liberty. He has
sent a representative to the island and,
has demanded and, we understand, re-
ceived exhaustive reports from all our
consular representatives there, and
what is the tremendous gun that he
has fired? Nothing more nor less than
harmless and pitiful little message
asking for an appropriation of $4,000
to relieve the necessities of Americans
resident in Cuba. Again the mountain
has labored, and this is the mouse that
has emerged.
The appropriation in itself would be
we'll enough if the relief fund were to
be distributed through : a proper
agency like the Red Cross association.
ic, 10 ho I;eJ,,
through the agents of the state de-
partment and under its direction, we
have little hope that the benefits will
be great. These American citizens
resident in Cuba, with suspiciously
Spanish names, will use whatever
political pull they have, and the $4,000
will be put where the agents of Re-
publican administration think that it
will do the most good. The govern
ment has occasionally extended relief
to It's citizens at home who were suf-
ferers from some great calamity, and it
might with propriety do something to
help bona fide citizens abroad. The
method of doing it, as wethave said,
is wrong, and the act itselfhis so in
significant as to call attenfton to the
contrast between IT and the cyclone
of defamation by which it was pre-
ceded.
Neither party in either the senate or
the house, however, appears to have
anything better to offer. Men on both
sides are still centering the controversy
about the foolish and impotent pro-
posal to recognize the belligerency of
the Cuban insurgents. It Is still the
| towards and takers who have the
floor Now, as from the beginning,
there have been but two courses worthy
of this nation. The one was to inter-
vene actively in Cuba in behalf Of hui
man liberty and accept the conse-
| quences, whatever they might be. The
| other was to avoid bluster, keep our
fingers out of a business where we did
not intend to act seriously, and leave
| the Cubans to their fate. Neither Of
| these, however, would be what is COM
monty known as politics." The entire
| Cuban situation today, therefore, re-
| fleets a common discredit upon all
branches Of the government. We have
little right to grid at the powers Of
Europe when our own public men
show spirit SO contemplate in deal
ing with the Cuban problem.
