When the fact is considered that we
had to send $3.50, 900 to Europe
during the eleven months ending
November 80 for the payment of in
terest on American bonds and mort
cages held over there, the average
citizen can readily see that it is absurd
to talk about an independent financi-
pl system for our country.

that while the masses of the Catholics
have accepted the present manner of
settling the question the higher rul-
ers of the church are unalterably op-
posed to it. TIE question is not
local one but it involves the freedom
of the press and the supremacy of the
State in State affairs, and the sooner
it is squarely met and defeated the
better for all concerned.

The excess of exports for the year
1896 will likely be about $500, 900, 900;
for 1895 the difference was 81, ,137 ,2S1

imports of gold over exports in 1896

That report that Col. John Hay has
been chosen as Ambassador to Eng
land may be premature, but there is
no reason why it should not be true.
Col. Hay is scholar and gentleman
of the type which the country would
naturally expect to see selected for
such a post under the new admin
istration.

Only two weeks more, says clipper
Gen. Weyler, and the Province of Ha-
vana will be clear of insurgents. Per-
haps: bnt it looks very much as if
Gen. Weyler's present boastfulness
were designed to head off the agita-
ton in Spain for his recall.

The New York papers state as unde-
niable fact that Paris has seut $780,

What is this? A Spanish force de-
feated by insurgents in the Province
of Pinar del Rio? Have we not Gen.
Weyler's word for it that that pro-
vince is paciied, and that no more
than five hundred insurgents, at a
liberal estimate, are left in it?

JANUARY UP TO DATE.

While the northwest is buried un-
der blanket of snow with the mer-
curry descending everywhere below
the zero mark, New England is en-
joying the balmy atmosphere of a
phenomenal January thaw. There is
hardly anything in this world except
money that is more unequally dis.
tributed than snow. While street
cars are held up at the west by huge
drifts, and farmers cut of from COM
munication with the towns, the lum-
bermen of Maine are longing for a
snowstorm that will facilitate their
operations in the woods, and Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island stable
keepers and owners Of fine turnouts
are sighing over the absent sleighing.
The untimely heat Of the past week
also disarranged the plans of the ice
men who were preparing to reap
their annual harvest. Altogether,
with the exception of the saving in
coal and the ability to dispense with
winter overcoats, there is little bene-
fit to anyone from this unreasonable
weather
Meteorological records show that
the variation of the mean annual
temperature during 1896 was very
slight. But while we receive practi-
cally the same amount of heat and
cold every year, the proportions for
each month are no longer the same,
unless all observations are at fault.
Our springs begin later, our autumns
last longer and our winters oscillate
between mildness and severity in
stead of bringing steady cold weather.
The warm rains which have Danish
ed the snow may be followed by
bowling blizzard before the month is
half gone. The only certain thing
about January weather in New Eng
land at the end of the century is that
it is mighty uncertain.

This is a sudden new turn given to
the Cuban discussion by Senator
Hale. He says that farthest from the
island being taxed to death, it has
been making progress lately that the
junta agents have been concealing
matters and that the insurrection is
generally foolish. Perhaps so. But
two questions: How could the junta
conceal prosperity if it really existed;
and second, why haven't the newpa-
per men who have gone down discov-
cred the state of things?
The Atlanta (Ga.) Jonr1adl on Satur-
day printed the following signed sign
ed letter from Comptroller Eckels,
dated Washington, January 3: "The
bank failures which have occurred
have been entirely due to local condi-
tions, and in almost every instance to
defects peculiar to the institutions
falling" If things continue the next
week in the Northwest as they have
the past eight days, Mr.. Eckels will
have to get up a new diagnosis. It
would be difficult for even a man of
Eckels' versatility to find local causes
in half dozen States.

IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Railway Men Have a Second Meeting
Down Town.

joint executive session of members Of the
Order of Railway Conductors, Brotherhood CT
Railroad Trainmen, Brotherhood of LocomO-
tive Firemen Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and Order Of Railroad Telegraphers
was held last evening at Odd Fellows Lall.
The attendance was large, over 300 persons
attending. W. G. Hayes, who acted as master
Of ceremonies at the meeting at the People S
church, was chairman of the SESSION las:
night and it was midnight when an ADJOURN
ment was taken. Speeches were made by P.
NJ. Arthur, grand chief of the 3. Of l.. T.,
F. P. Sargent, grand master OF the B. Of
L. F.. f. r. Dodge, vice grand master Of
the O. R. T., and A. B. Garrettson, grand
senior conductor of the o. r. c.. Following
these gentlemen Representatives Of The local
orders made short addresses.
F. P. Sargent, seen last evening. said the
visit of the representatives of the five orders
to st. Paul had no particular significance.
Of fraternalism and awaken interest in the or
ders. In 1894 number of the members of the
order he represented had left and this was
true Of the other orders He denied most en-
phatically that the members OF the FIVE or
CARNATIONS were joining the A. r. u, and
that the object of the gathering was to prevent
any more assertions. Meetings such as had
been held in St. Paul, were being held all
over the country the idea being to have the
five orders increase their membership and
get closer together. The Brotherhood of Fire
men now numbered "A 900 and the increase
in membership in the last quarter had been
over 600, which was very gratifying.

MEMORIES OF LAKE SANDY.
Once the PIaEr Place of Society
young Folks.

rrne moist condition Of the suburban
district between the Twin Cities bril- -
to mind a little pond, situated out near
the end Of Marshall avenue, known 20
the youngsters Of the hill as Lake
Sandy. 1t wasn't so many Years ago
that Lake Sandy was the favorite re-
sort in good skating weather of band
Of young people, most Of whom have
since grown to the dignity &c woman
Or manhood and several of whom have
married. A few have removed to 9TH
or cities, and alas. some are 20 moro.
Sandy was at that time about as big
as respectable mud puddle, and In the
sun mer the small boys used to Rave
lots of fun swimming about in it's
muddy depths courrirg typhoid fever,
diphtheria sunburned backs, spankings
and other things, with the though tess
ness of youth. In the winter Lake
Sandy put on a beautifully smooth coat
of ice. and as soon as this was safely
thickened the fun began. Zach even
ing a large bonfire was built at the
edge of the pond and board beats were
placed near by for the convenience OF
the girls who frequented the place, ana
many a merry hour has been passed
on the CLASSY surface of old Sandy.
Among some of the young people who
are remembered as having been devo-
tees of the sport offered by this little
lake are Ine MISSES DCln I I
them graceful skaters when girls. They
are at present residents Of Minneap-
oils. Miss May Van Worries and Miss
Adah Richardson were among the bet
ter skaters. The former, Mrs. Charles
Braden. is in California at present, and
the latter is still a resident Of st. Paul
and one of this seasons brides. Miss
Minnie Vincent was an excellent skat-
er, as were both Mabel Gates and
Mabel Lanpher. Miss Edna Jones, who
has since removed to Chicago and mar
ried, did good straight-ahead skating,
and Emma Lovejoy, of Minneapolis,
used to come down often, and was as
graceful a skater as was ever seen al
Sandy. Florence MOrehouse skated
we'll, as did Lou White, and Birdena
Farwell, now one of Chicago's best
known contraltos, was a pretty fancy
skater. Clyde Miller, who IS married
and living in Chicago, did some excel
lent trick skating, and Will Shaehy,
who lives in Montgomery, Mimi, was
another whose movements on the ice
attracted notice. Charles Mcclellan
and Arthur White skated we'll and
Rich Deacon, now of New York, did all
kinds of fancy work Will Griswold,
now in college, and his sister Hattie
were both good skaters, and others
were Will Burk Ed Bishop, Rob VIII
son, Jack O'Leary, Harold Stout,
George Robinson and scores Of others
whose names have slipped from mind.

SPASM OF VIRTUE.
Make Midnight Raid on a
Candy store.

Eva Germans cigar and confectionery
store on West Seventh street was pulled by
the police early yesterday morning and the
proprietress locked up at the central sta
repute. J. X. Ferritt was arrested on the
charge of visiting the establishment, while
Ida Anderson and Joseph Walters, taken
from another apartment, were accused of dis
orderly conduct.
The raid was the result of special order
issued by Mayor Doran, who could no longer
withstand the pressure brought to bear to
move him toward stopping the maintenance of
a disreputable house in the business and
residence portion of West Seventh street.
The place has been in operation for some
two months under the guise OF a cigar store,
but the residents Of the vicinity have been
for the past six weeks complaining to the
mayor frequently and vigorously.
Late Saturday night Lieut.. Pothen, Sergt.
Davis and Officers Murnane and Zacher
watched the resort until the early hours of
leave the "store'' shortly before 2 O'Clock
the police entered and placed the inmates
under arrest. Bail was refused the pris-
oners until yesterday, when the German
woman was released in the sum Of 500,
while the others secured their liberty by
depositing SIS each.
As an illustration of one phase Of the
German womans operations, it is claimed
that she succeeded in getting herself estab-
lished in the Confectionery business at
the expense of a married man, who, under
certain conditions expended over $500 in
fixing up her present place When the store
was ready for the public the woman snapped
her fingers at her hacker, refusing him en-
trance to the place. Everything was in her
name. and angry at being duped. the man
began suit in the municipal court to re-
cover possession of the stock and fixtures
When the answer was filed it was found to
be of such a nature that procedure only
meant the destruction of q home and the
case was dropped.

NEED FOR A LINCOLN,
Say Adventists, to Meet II Supreme
Courts AggressiOns.

The discourse Of last evening at the Ad-
venttst chapel was upon THE Importance OF
knowing What 1t Is to Be a Protestant
The speaker, Elder H. F. Phelps, said, in
substance, that there is great Importance at
this time of knowing just what is embraced
in this subject 1t is principle and adher-
ence to principle, not theory, that makes
Protestant. There are noble Bible and his
torical examples of men who have stood by
the principle that gave the word Protestant"
TO the world. The prophets and apostles and
the author OF Christianity were true Protest
ants. 1t was Christ who first announced the
principle that gave the name to the world.
And the principle is, in substance, the entire
absence or the civil magistrate in all mat
ters of religion, and the complete separation
Of the church from all governmental affairs.
There have been those who, from the ear
lest history Of earthly governments, have
clearly understood the principle and the
necessity Of it's application. Among the his
torlcal characters may be mentioned the
fathers of this republic who declared for the
absolute freedom of all men, in all matters
civil and religious, so long as they did not
invade the equal rights Of any other man.
Abraham Lincoln stood head and shoulders
above the men OF his day, in dec airing against,
and leading the people on to the complete
notification Of a decision of the supreme
court that would have perpetuated a civil
despoJlSm in the enslavement of race of
men. And his arguments were just as forci-
BILE against another decision of the supreme
court, that would establish and perpetuate
religious despOtism to the enslayement Of all
governs himself, that is self government; but
when he attempts to govern himself and also
some other man, that is more; it is civil
despotiSm. The people of the United States
are the rightful masters of congresses and
courts; not TO overthrow the constitution, but
to overthrow the men who subvert the con-
stitution." He quoted Thomas Jefferson az
saying, in substance, that Judges are an
honest other men, and not more so. And
whenever a free people should give up In alb
solute submission to any department of gov
eminent, retaining for themselves no appeal
from it, their liberties gone" Mr.. Lin
coin himself said: THE candid citizen must
confess that If the policy Of the government.
upon vital questions affecting the whole peo-
pie is to be irreyocably fixed by decisions OF
the supreme court the people viii
have ceased to be their own rulers.
Adapting the words of Mr.. Lincoln: When
a man is religious for himself, that is re-
ligious freedom; but when man attempts to
be religious for himself and for some other
man. that is infinitely less; 1t is religious
despOtSm.
