The st. Paul (Minn) Pioneer-Press seems
TO he situated so far northwest as to be
pretty nearly out of touch with the rest
of the country. 1t does not know the
status Of affairs east of the Mississippi and
south of the Ohio. Speaking of the Presi-
dents recent visit 30 Georgia, the Pioneer
Press says his speeches surprised ana
captivated' the Southern people, and that
the message of good will which he bore
them has done more to extinguish the
smou.dering fires of Southern animosity
than any single event since Appomattox."
Now. in the East they know that there
had been no "smouldering fires OF animos-
ity" in this parT Of the country for a
great many years but the Information to
that effect seems never TO have reached

CUBA,s MILITARY GOVERNOR.

There does not appear to be any enthu-
siasm over the appointment of Gen.
Brooke as military governor of Cuba. He
may be the best man for the place that is
available, and he may fill it satisfactorily,
but there are doubts expressed in some
quarters that he will. There has been
some criticism of his management of Camp
Thomas at Chickamauga, and it is assert
ed that he found the Porto Ricans very
favorable 10 the Americans and left them
very much dissatisfied with our govern
ment and our people. We are not prepar-
ed to say whether Gen. Brooke was sue
cessful in his management of the camp at
Chickamauga or not but it seems that
he ought not to have allowed a feeling
hostile to this country to get abroad in
Porto Rico 1t was important that the
good impression made by our troops on
their first appearance there should have
been maintained
A position like that of military governor
of Porto Rico or Cuba requires tact and
Judgment. Many questions are certain to
arise that a strict disciplinarian, like Gen.
Brooke is reported to be, would deal with,
an all probability, in a way that would
cause trouble. The Cubans are in a con
dition of mind to take offense at anything
that could be construed into an indignity.
While we shall have a sufficient force
on the island to maintain order, we do not
want any trouble We want the Cubans
TO regard us as their friends and to believe
that whatever we do is intended to be for
their good 1t would be an easy matter to
make a mistake. the effects of which
could not be easily removed.
1t may be that Gen. Brooke understands
the Cuban character and that he will adj
minister his office with great success, but
if there is anything in the criticisms of
his management of Camp THOMAS and of
has administration of af1Birs in Porto Rico
there is ground for speculation as to
whether he is the right man for the posi-
ton of military governor of Cuba.

Secretary Smith. according to the Wash

dent McKinley's cabinet. Mr.. Smith is an
astute politician. HE maps out policies,
considers the best course to pursue, weighs
all Of the facts on both sides of an issue,
and after determining upon a conclusion,
he submits the whole problem and answer
to the President says the correspondent.
The President IS too busy to consider per

AN ENJOYABLE CHURCH SOCIABLE.
The church sociable, this week, was
held at the spacious residence of Mr. and
Mrs George A. Barnes, on Thursday
evening. The attractions of the evening
were varied and numerous. First came
the stalking brave who might have been
old Black Hawk himself, but for his war
whoop, which was faint and non-terrify-
ing. Next in line came the prim, demure
Quakeresf, who when spoken to, re-
sponded in gentle accents in the plain
language Of the Quakers, in a manner
withal 80 modest and at the same time so
char ming, as to bespeak her a true type
of a daughter of that highly esteemed
and most worthy sect. The nun, who
with soulful, trusting eyes and peaceful
expression of face gazed calmly, yet
with a plying look, on the frivolities of
the evening and cOmpany,-she, too, was
there. All considered themselves fortu-
nate indeed to meet with a cow boy
fresh from the West, Butterfly Billy by
name, dressed in the full regalia of a son
of the plains, and with all the dash and
swagger characteristic of his kind. 9th
er persOnages equally as interesting
were present, of whom your correspond
ent has neither time nor space to de-
scribe. A sweet little miss, with a large
basket of artificial flowers, ministered to
the artistic tastes of those 80 inclined.
Spoons were sold to the gentlemen as a
means of obtaining partner for supper,
which created quite little amusement
in more ways than one. The grab-bag
did rushing business for some minutes
after supper, and all felt as if it was full
value received, especially the one who
got the box with the ten pennies in it,
that being just the price paid for grab.
The company numbered about rs and
the proceeds were $3.50, making a total
OF $50 that has been realized from that
source this past winter. The supper was
unusually foe, ard Mr. and Mrs Barnes,
assisted by their daughter, Edna, per-
formed the duties of host and hostess in
most pleasant and cordial manner. 1t
is thought to be the last of the series for
this SEES son, and if such is the case all we
can say il, they have been a aource of
profit and pleasure combined, to the
society and community at large, the last
being just as good as the first, and vice
versa.
