There is a reminder of the ante

was playing McKinley's game for the
nomination, in this special from Wash
Observation-Disclosures fully as authentic as
any of its kind, and no more-that the
president is actually mad, mad clear
through. at some intimation, some ru-
NOR, some accusation that he asked the
pope to mediate between himself, or
rather the United States, and Spain
We cannot believe that William the
Placid got mad, and can only think
that some observant reporter saw a
shadow cross the Napoleonic face and
mistook it for a frown. But if, per-
chance. it should be true that the presi-
dent was really mad because some one
had said that he had asked his holiness
TO keep him from fighting, it recalls all
that A. P. A. play of the ante-conven-
ton days. Very deftly the bigots were
handled to make them believe the can
didate was with them, and very
adroitly the denials were put forth
to avoid giving offense to the very
large other and opposing element which
any affiiation of the candidate with
the A. P. A. would mortally offend. So
cleverly was this played that both sides
were neatly fooled. BIT we doubt the

A Guess at the Message.

What the president will say in the
message he is to send in today. or to-
morrow. or the next day. or next week,
is mere surmise. We are having from
imaginative correspondents, from those
high officials" from that prominent
gentleman who has just come from
long talk with the president, and
from that everlasting leaky member
of the cabinet who tells under the rose
what has been done and said in cab
met meetings. a miscellaneous lot Of
transformation as to it's contents. We
are told that it is going to be an ur-
gent request for congress to declare
war; that 1t Is going to make the
maine incident" the basis of a war
message; that it is going to contain
recognition of the independence of
Cuba; that 1t is not going to so de-
clare because there is no Cuban gov
eminent.
None of these conjectures take ac-
count of the man who is to write the
message, and so none of them are
within gunShot of what it will contain.
The president is a man Of peace, be-
cause war is offensive; it hurts, and
he is sedulous in avoiding giving hurt
to anybody. So he will not ask con-
gress to declare war. Neither will he
return to the Maine incident" for a
pretext, for even he must realize now
that it is impossible to grind with the
water that has run by the wheel; that
opportunity came, was wasted and is
gone. Nor will it contain a recogni-
ton of Cuban independence, because it
would be too absurd to recognize a gov
eminent that has no existence outside
of the Cuban junta that holds forth
in New York.
Our guess, and it is as good as any
of these, is that the message will be
| a lengthy narrative of known facts
leading up to no conclusion or recon-
| mendation. but ending in a handwash
Of responsibility and a RELOCATION of the
whole matter to congress We, base
this guess upon the fatal inability Of
the man to bring himself to the point
| of decision where great responsibility
and serious consequences are involved.
A few more hours will probably decide
whose guess is accurate. Let us pos
sess our souls in what patience we can
command.

Long Historic Memories.

The universal dislike of the Spaniard
that exists in this country accounts
for much Of the eagerness to engage
the two countries in hostilities. The
cause of it is due to the long historic
memories of the descendants of the
peoples who felt the cruel hand of
Spanish oppression and persecution
during the time when Spain was the
dominant power in Europe The Dane
the Dutchman, the German and the
Scandinavian of today carry a tradi
tional animosity against the descend
ants Of the men who ravaged the
homes of their ancestors, burned men
and women at the stake. put them to
the sword, made them the victims of
their rapacity after securing them by
deeper cause, for peoples of the same
race have prosecuted each other and
their descendants live in amity There
was then. as there Is now, the inera d.
icable differences that separate
the Latins from the Germanic
races; the radically different con-
ceptions of life and It's obli-
cations, of men and their relations
of government and it's limitations. Out
of these came the prosecutions of Spain
and the struggles against her that fill
ed two centuries of history with mar
ration Of crimes at which mankind
shudders today as it reads them.
This radical difference is shown
wherever the two races have attempted
colonization The one went to occupy

doubt if Mckinley ever was mad.
Brains Out, Viscsra Left.

The operation of the natural law of
cohesion. upon whose work on the
Populist party we recently commented,
has been locally very much accelerat-
ed by the action of what was styled
the PoDulist city convention. What
we might term the Decentralization of
the rank and file of that party had re-
duced the organization to such a state
of inertnesS that the primaries were
but scantily attended by those who
have heretofore been active Populists.
The Erwinites, noting this, and anxious
to get for their Jack Falstaff footing
in an organization that had shown
strength enough in the past to entitle
it to place on the official ballot, attend
ed the primaries. captured the most Of
them and sent delegates who controlled
the convention, giving it's nomination
for the mayoralty to Erwin. Their main
object accomplished, they lost all inter-
est in the other places on the ticket.
This was accomplished against the
vigorous protests of that element Of
the local party that ever possessed any
character or brains. They vigorously
resisted the attempt to use their or
ganization as stalking horse for
ure of their efforts, withdrew and will
cooperate with the Democrat Citizens
organization. With them the brains of
the local Populist party went out of
the organization. The viscera only re-

use. To 1t he is welcome.

HOUSE sENTIMENT DIVIDED.
Probable Support for the Pro.
Eramme of the President


Eramme of the President,
WASHINGTON, April 5-Among the
Republicans of the house there seemed
marked conflict of opinion as to
whether, in the event the president
recommends Intervention only and not
the recognition Of the independence of
Cuba. they will accede to his view of
the question. The same conflict exists
among the Republicans Of the foreign
affairs committee.
The leaders are extremely anxious
that if possible there be unity Of action
between the executive and congress,
and those who are now strongly insist
ing that Cuba has won her indepenc-
ence and should be recognized may be
convinced by the presidents message
that the United States should not go
beyond intervention.
Some Of the radicals who engaged in
the movement to force immediate &C.
ton seemed still, inclined to discredit
the report that the president will not
recommend the recognition Of independ-
ence. They say that their interviews
with him strongly impressed them with
the belief that the purpose of the ac-
ministration was the accomplishment
of the independence OF the republic.
Many seem indifferent as to what
form the Recommendations or argu-
ment of the message may take. They
consider that intervention and indie
pendence are practically equivalent in
that both will bring the question be-
tween Spain and the United States to
an immediate Issue,
The Democrats have conferred and
seem united upon Independence, both
in the foreign affairs committee and i'll
the house, and IF the resolutions, final
ly presented toSthe house, are only for
intervention Mr.. Bailey will doubtless
present proposition either in the ma
ture of a substitute or an amendment
for the recognition of Cuban indepen-

DEMOCRATIC TICKET FILLED
LOUIS NASH AND ENOCH JOHN
SON FOR THE ASSEMBLY
j. j. Egan Gets the Second Place
ON the Ticket for Municipal Court
Judge-Ffrst Meeting of the
Central COmmittee-SOme Names
Headquarters to He Secured.

The Democrat Citizens committee
held it's first meeting since the conven-
ton. yesterday afternoon, at the office
of j. G. Michael, in the Manhattan
building. and filled the vacancies left
on the ticket as g. concession to the
Populists, which the latter failed to
accept.
Louis Nash and Enoch Johnson were
unanimously elected to the places on
the assembly ticket. while James j.
Egan, pursuant to the action of the
convention in deciding that in case the
Populists failed to indorse the Demo-
crat-CitiZen ticket the candidate re-
ceiving the second highest vote in the
convention for municipal judge should
receive the nomination, was officially
placed on the ticket as Judge Twohy's
running mate.
Mr.. Nash made a brief speech of &C
ceptance. declaring that he had prom
fsed to stand by the party that in
dorsed the principles he advocated, and
that as the Democrat-Citizens' party
had done this. he would enter the fight
with the party as one of it's candidates
and direct his every effort to the sue
cess of the entire ticket.
The second choice for a candidate on
the assembly ticket, Mr.. Enoch john
son, is silver Republican and a Scan
dinavian, two facts which it was be-
lieved would be of advantage to the
ticket upon which Mr. Johnson will
run
Mr.. Johnson was elected justice of
the peace by the Republican party, but
has joined the reform forces.

Special to The st. Paul Globe
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Tomorrow is like
ly to be history making day in Washington
1t is assumed in quarters in position to
know that the presidents message will ad-
wise intervention. but not the independence
OF Cuba. There is some uncertainty as to
the motive behind this stand on the part
Of the president: even with, the attitude of
Senator Hanna in mind and it Is suggested
that it may be the part of some syndicate
plan of which the public is not advised of
that it may be for the purpose Of holding
the island as means Of compelling Spain
to pay American claims.
But whatever the motive it Is accepted as
fact that such will be the tone of the mes
sage and the Information comes from a high
source that the direct effect of such a stand
On congress will be to fan the spirit of in
subordination that has been apparent for some
time into open flame. There are Indications
of a battle royal in congress and it may come
today though this is not certain.
Aside from the question of the message
and the action of congress the general feel
ing in Washington; not only on the part Of
to be that the hopes of peace have been ex-
aggerated and that hostilities are imminent.
Changes in the situation are rapid and to-
day is expected to develop something definite.

How to Repel One Invader.

Unless there be intervention by our
own government, an early cessation
may not be looked for of the merciless
warfare now being waged upon Amer
lean interests by the Canadian Pacific.
Our interstate commerce commission
recognized the "Reminiscences of the
American roads when it suspended the
operation of the long and short haul
clause. The benefits thus derived may
not amount to much, so fierce has been
the cutting INDUCED in by their North
ern neighbor; but the bare fact that
the commission felt it necessary to af-
ford some measure Of protection to
American interests ought to focus the
attention of congress upon this hostile
foreign corporation.
A $40 rate to the Pacific and one of
$14 to the Atlantic is not competition
it is the confiScation of the American
stockholders securities, the demoraliza-
ticn Of employees wages, the humiliation
of American property. and it ought to
be stopped. The American roads are
playing against a gambler when COM
PEELED to meet a company which is sub
sidized by the Dominion government.
The interests of the corporation and
the government are so closely inter-
locked, the private understandings Of
their managers are such, that no Amer
lean railroad can hope to successfully
compete with this invader from the
North.
There is. however. sure way to
bring the Canadian to his senses Let
congress adopt a retaliatory policy,
such as applying the bonding feature
Of clause %. Washington, not Chi
cago is the strategic point. The hand
Of our government laid heavily upon
this offender will work a miraculously
speedy cure of existing evils.

the land, to give to the conquered oc-
cupants good government, to endeavor
to lift them out of barbarism; the
other went to plumber. The one ele-
ment never touched new land but
to bring blessing upon 1T: the other
never touched it but to curse it and
leave influences that continue to curse
it. No greater calamity could have
befallen the fair and fertile regions of
South and Central America than that
which came to them when they fell
under Spanish dominion. Side by side.
America in the North and Spain in
the South, illustrate, in their two CEN
turtles of history, the deep racial diff
ferences out of which sprang the con-
fltcts whose memories still rankle in
the hearts of the descendants of the
victims of Spanish cruelty. On the one
side. peace, order, good government,
civilization, progress; on the other, re-
volt, the tyranny of dictators, repub-
lies only in name, elections with bull
let's, civilization fringed with barbar-
ism. and whatever there may be
of progress due to the initiative
Of men of our race who went
there to seek their fortunes. On the
continent the effects of Spanish occu-
patton remain to curse the land years
after the yoke of Spain was thrown off
by Spaniards. who, in achieving indie
pendence. did not cease to be thor
oughly Spanish in their natures. Should
Spain now be driven from her last foot
hold on the Western hemisphere, and
Cuba and Porto Rico become 'repub-
lies" there is no ground for faith that
conditions there will be any different
than they have been for seventy years
in the republics" of the main land.
