From the Manitoba Free Press
free trade government cannot look kindly
on proposal to impose an export duty on
nickel. Why should they? 1t is simply an
other form of protection. 1t is open to cap
ital to come in and establish refineries and
if, in the natural course of trade the in
dustry would pay the capital would no doubt
be forthcoming. To employ artiflce to get
it in is a confession that the business on its
its merits Is not legitimate one.

LONDON, March 15.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon publishes a dis
patch from Rome which says there has
been a recent exchange of commune
cations between the Vatican and Spain
in regard to Cuba and the relations
with the United States. The pope, it
is said, is ready to do all in his power
to prevent hostilities which might be
fatal to the Spanish dynasty"
Continuing, the dispatch says: 1.-The
Vatican has especially eXerted in
fluence at Washington and has tried
directly and indirectly to dissuade the
United States from plunging into war
with Spain. According to information
here, if the offices of the pontiff are ac-
cepted, he will propose that Cuba re-
main under the domination of Spain
but that it be ruled on the lines of an
English colony"

Til. Retirement of Senator Mills

Few men in public life won and held
the affections of Minnesota Democrats
as has Senator Roger @. Mills, and no
Wnere Will the announcement that he
will not seek reelection, but will re-
tire to private life, cause greater re-
gret. He came to this state in the
opening days of the campaign of 1890
and gave Democracy an impetus that
sent four Democratic representa-
t!ves to congress. He came at
time when the cause committed
to the party by President Cleveland in.
his message Of 1887 was wavering be-
tween rejection and persistence There
were Democratic politicians in plenty
who were counseling retreat and bIam-
ing Cleveland for forcing an issue in
1887 that insured the defeat in 1888 In
the chief congressional district of the
state the nominee had declared that he
did not want the tariff question dis
cussed from the opening to the close
OF his campaign. It was at this criti-
cal juncture that Mills came here and
made his Minneapolis speech and set
the pace for the campaign The Fourth
district candidate took the cue and
talked nothing but tariff until his cam
paign closed in victory.
1t IS said that the senator now volun
tarily retires because he finds himself
out of harmony with the new issue
adopted in 1896. 1t is true that he bent
to the storm that swept the party from
its mornings that year, giving the new
issue his adhesion, but he yielded to
the motive that controlled so many
others then, reluctance to break with
his party, a belief that back of the
shibboleth Of that campaign was a
truer and deeper cry, and that there
would be dire need, should victory
come, of the presence of conservative
and trusted counselors. He regarded
that issue as a measure Of expediency
solely, and said that the election demon
strated that, as an eXpedient, it had
failed.
With Boies and leading Eastern
Democrats, not blinded by passion nor
mislead by erring judgment, he would
have the party return to the one issue
on which it won it's only post-rebellion
victories. either ignoring the expedien-
cy issue Of '96 altogether, or substitute
ing for it some policy that, while Civ
ing Its substance, would draw it's
fangs. 1t is because Mills finds his
constituents still welded to the idol Of
'96, from which his judgment divorce,
him. that he refuses to enter
contest for reelection. However his
present attitude may be viewed by
Minnesota Democrats, they will one
and all regret the retirement Of this
sturdy, faithful defender Of Democ-
racy's great, if subordinated, cause.

HOBSoS's BROTHER IN LINE.
Thanks the President for Message Sent Their
Mother.

Washington, June II. Naval Con-
structor Hobson's brother, who has
just been designated for appointment
to West Point, was among the callers
at the white house today, Young Hob
son called during the progress of the
presidents public reception in the east
room. The brother of the here of
Santiago was unknown to the several
hundred people assembled to pay their
respects to the president, and he mod
estly fell into line behind o group Of
soldiers from Camp Alger, who were in
town on leave. The president was
smiling and bOwing his acknowledg-
ments to the thrOng of men, women
and children as they hurredly filed past
him. Suddenly tall, clean-cut youth
gave his hand to the president, and
softly said:
81 ana brother of Naval Construc-
tor Hobson, Mr.. President, and l de-
sire to say to you, sir, that my mother
and all the members of our family are
very grateful to You fer the very noble
message you sent to us about my
brother.
The president gave the young mans
hand an additional grasp and held it
firmly while he engaged him in few
minutes conversation. All present in
stantly inquired:
"Who is that young man blocking
the line to whom the president is talk
ing in such an interesting manner?"
Word was passed along down the
line that he was a brother OF the brave
naval officer who ran the collier Merri-
mac into the channel at Santiago de
Cuba and sunk her. The resemblance
between young hObson and his brave
brother, who is now confined in Moro
castle, at the entrance Of Santiago bay,
was recognized by the president, and
the latter spoke of it duriug the con-
vsrsation.
For a few minutes young HObson
Owed with the president the attention
of the crowds. The president sent an
other friendly greeting to the good
mother of Hobson at her Alabama
home, and stated that negotiations are
now in progress for the liberation of
her gallant son.
The younger brother was deeply af-
fected as he stced before the president
and talked of his mother and his broth
Ter. He said he was on his way to West
Point to undergo an examination for
admission to the military academy.
The president wished him godspeed
and success in his coming examination.
AS young Hobson passed into the
corridor number Of people gathered
around him and insisted upon shaking
hands with him and congratulating
