are urging war at any price, are not much

fellows. President Mckinley now stands in
the same relation to the ION to Spain" crowd
that Lincoln did toward the abolitionists In
81 and '62. Mr.. Lincoln first declared slaves
''contraband of war; and then in the sum-
mer of '62 he liberated all the slaves whose
masters were in the Confederate army.

teer, when the first emancipation proclama-
ton was issued and shall never forget the
crazy joy of the people in colored church

Many of the abolitionists were much dissat-
isfed when they learned that only small
part Of the slaves were freed. l stayed over
night not long after with one of the leading
abolitionists, and at morning prayers he
prayed most earnestly that God would give
Mr. Lincoln courage to do his duty. We soon
saw the wisdom of Mr.. Lincolns movements,
and so We will Of Mr.. McKinley's. Washing

The Campaigns Comedy.

We have seen many grotesque stu
ations in the play Of politics, but we
do not recall any more so, any that
more excited ridicule than is this cam
didacy of Erwin for the mayoralty.
There is grotesqueness in a criminal
lawyer, an adept in the art of saving
criminals from merited punishment, a
disciple of Broughan, whose maxim
was that any means were excusable
that would win a clients case, posing
as the scourge of corruption, the cham
pion of purity in municipal govern
ment, the rebuker Of immortality, the
foe Of the unjust, the defender Of pub
lie justice. We question if Erwin can
resist the impulse to wink at his two
partners when they meet after one of
his theatricals.
Then there Is his delicious posing as
Democrat: possibly the funniest part
Of his whole performance. To The
G o b e's doubts of the orthodoxy Of
his Democracy he explained in a SUBJ
sequent speech that he was Democrat
because he had stumped the state for
the Alliance in 1890 and because he
had defended the Homestead men in
1892. 1t would detract from the melo-
dramatic effect Of this were the size
of the retainer in either of these cases
stated, and we are glad that Mr.. Erwin
does not diminish the hilarity Of his
antics by dragging in so prosy mat
ter. There were. however, several
other retainers accepted by Mr. Erwin
to defend men accused Of crime, that
Of the murderer of the Sioux City min
lister, for instance, or his defense Of
Hayward, which he might cite as evil
dence that he is a Democrat.
We have not observed any reference
by him, in support of his claim to be-
ing Democrat, to his assistance to the
Republican managers in the campaign
OF 1892 in their installation of the
Peoples party Organization in this

An Appeal to the Women's Clubs.

Elsewhere in this mornings G o b e
is letter from the Cuban central re-
lief committee, Of which Clara Barton
is the head, stating, in reply to a re-
quest Of The G l o b e for information
in what way the women's clubs of
st. Paul could assist in their charitable
work. the manner in which the clubs
can contribute and the needs of the
committee. 1t is accompanied with in
terviews with several ladies connected
with various clubs, and their common
dalton of the movement is cordial and
strong.
The appeal to human sympathies al
ways gets warmer response from
women than men; their gentler ma
lures being more sensitive to suffer-
ing than are those of men, casaharden-
ed by daily contact with conditions
that incrust the sensibilities with in
difference. There is pertinence in the
suggestion of one of the ladies that
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton might, with exceptional pro-
priety, lead in this work, and the Wom-
ems Relief Corps of the G. A. R., them
selves so closely in touch with the
suffering war entails. might cooperate
Mothers clubs. too. mindful of the
mothers and children of Cuba who are
suffering for life's necessaries, can be
confidently relied upon to assist. We
may all differ as to the merits of the
cause that has brought the misery that
calls for relief, but all differences fall
away in the presence of starving wom-
en- and children What will be the re-
Spouse of the women's clubs of st. Paul
to Clara Barton's appeal?
