The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-03-19

One of the brightest minds Of the
press of Minnesota, and one Of the
most genial souls went out of this life
when Franklin w. Lee passed yeSter-
day morning into the great mystery.
Known and liked by us of the city
press, among whom he worked for
years, he has made himself equally
well known and as greatly liked among
his Co-workers on the country press
since. some two years ago, he left the
city for the country in search of the
health he had lost in his labor here,
and infused his genial personality into
the Rush City Post. For some months
it has been known that he was the
victim of a disease sure to claim it's
own soon, but one found In the
columns of his paper no indication Of
the pain that racked him or the gloom
that usually attends impending death.
There was no cessation of the good
humor, the kindly wit, the pungent
~quips that made his paper so bright
and so readable. The world is ALWAYS
better for the lives of such men, and il
IS always a little darker when their
light goes out.

The office of the lungs is to do the breathing

termined hostility which Spain has yet
given is found in the semi official dec
laratiOn that she is in no way respon-
sible for the Maine affair." and that no
indemnity will be paid. This is in
marked contrast to the attitude of our
administration and in itself casts a
strong suspicion upon the Spanish au-
thorities. Observe the language of the
note issued from Madrid. 1t states
plainly that 1.-The report of the Span
ish commission on the Maine is not
yet known" Yet, in advance of any
official information, it is stated that
the Maine explosion was indisputably
due to an internal accident" and that
ANY demand for an indemnity will be
Indignantly repealed by SPAIN
1t would be parallel with tn. IS if, week
or two ago. our state department., with
the approval of President Mckinley
had given to the Associated Press
semi official bulletin saying that, al
though the board of inquiry had no.
finished it's labors, yet the govern
ment was convinced that the loss of
the Maine was due to an external
cause. and that demand for inden-
nifty would be made upon Spain as
soon as the official documents were re-
ceived. This would have been regard
ed. justly, not only as a deliberate and
intentional offense to Spain, but as an
indication that the cause of the United
States was a weak one, requiring that
public opinion be Influenced in advance.
All reports agree that the examination
of the Maine made under Spanish aus
pices has been extremely desultory and
inexact. Divers have pottered around
the wreck, apparently without plan or
without supervision, and the method
of their work has been such that no
conclusions based upon it would be re-
liable. However that may be, an an
nouncement in advance of any declara-
ton of the Spanish vestigators, that
Spain will reject a demand for indem-
nifty is directly opposite to the policy
pursued by the United States, and can
hardly be dictated by anything else
than a desire to cause a rupture. Spain
is still acting under compulsion of the
state Of affairs at home and with the
desire Of stirring sympathy and a war
feeling among the other nations of
Europe
Whatever the motive, the act is
scarcely less than offensive 1t is use
full, however, in pointing out to us the
particular line Of policy for our own
safety, which is that already being pur-
sued in the most rapid and completest
preparation for possible hostilities that
can be made. This country is prac-
tically launched now upon the great
tide Of events, that is bearing it
on to peace or war at the bidding Of
circumstances practically beyond its
control. We have done all that could
be done to prevent a war. From this
time forward the same dignity, indie
pendence and determination to main
tain our rights and vindicate our honor
that have governed us in the past must
be our guide for the future, and the
event rests not with us, but with the
God Of battles.

charged with having burglarized the
residence of Mrs. Christine Due, go
South West Temple street, Friday
morning, was found guilty by Judge
Timmony yesterday afternoon and
bound over to the district court under
$1,000 bail, which he could not furnish,
and was sent to the county jail.
Mrs. Due and her son, Oliver, testi-
fed that they encountered Lee III the
hall OF their home about o'clock in
the morning, and that so cents in
money was missing from her pocket
book. Upon being accused of the THEFT
he offered to give Oliver half dollar.
The Chinaman tried to explain his pres
ence in the house by the claim that he
was looking for man named Samson,
who had hired him in that vicinity to
do some work. His efforts TO clear
himself were futile, and seemed to
strengthen the evidence. He said he
came here about six days ago from
Grand Junction.
