UNFORTUNATELY the members of Congress could not extend their con gratulations in person to Lieut.. Hobson for his gallant action in going to what appeared to be certain death. with his seven brave volunteer companions, in sinking the Merrimac in the entrance to Santiago harbor. but they made Representative Pearson, of North Car olina, whose nephew and nam sake Lieut.. HObsOn is, his proxy. Congress will show its appreciation by voting medals of honor to each of them and the secretary of the navy will give them each promotion.

THE fight over the annexation of Ha- waii is growing decidedly interesting. Speaker Reed has promised that he would not stand in the way of the house voting upon the annexation resolution. but his followers have cleverly headed it of this week by parliamentary tao ties. It is so evident that the anti's are scheming to have congress adjourn without action upon annexation that President Mckinley has taken occasion to say to Il senator that if Congress ad- iourns without annexing Hawaii he would at once call an extra session.

The republican campaign COM
mittee has sent the following re-
ply to Senator Ringdal's chal-
lenge to debate Mr.. Eddy:
Your letter addressed to Con-
gresham Frank M. Eddy, chal-
longing him to debate on the sub.
jects, trusts, transportation and
money, has been referred to this
committee for consideration and
action. Owing to the desire of
the various republican organiza-
tions to have him cooperate with
them in carrying on the Repub-
lican campaign, it will be impos-
sible to find time for the debates
as you suggest.
If, however. in the course of
the campaign, there should be
any conflict Of his appointments
with yours, bringing you to-
gether, this com mittee will be
very glad to have him divide time
with you. each to present the
claims of the party which he re-
presents for the suffrage of the
people; each to share equally the
cost of hall, music, printing and
other expenses incidental to the
meeting.
Now if they had only given
some of their advance dates the
matter could quickly be ar
ranged. Our good republican
friends Of Willmar might for in
