Lake City Graphic-Sentinel:
The Graphic Sentinel, unsolicited,
wishes to announce to its readers
why it thinks Capt. s. r. VanSant
of Winona is the best man yet
mentioned, and it thinks he should
be chosen to fill the position as
governor of the state Of Minneso-
ia. He is, and always has been,
clean in his personal dealings, al
lowing the people to choose him
to represent them instead of de-
handing that they should nomi-
nate him because he had always
been Of particular faith, or that
he had rendered service to the par
ty, in the time past. He has dem
onstrated in his business affairs
that he has good executive ability,
and that he has made money fol-
himself, and that, too,in an honest
and legitimate way. and if he were
to be chosen to preside at tho head
of the state department. he would
sec to it that the affairs of tho state
were handled in a business-like
manner.

It is beginning to look as if
some credence must be given the
report that Clough's support of
VanSant for gubernatorial honors
was unsolicited. After VanSant
failed to secure the nomination
last year, he did not bolt the party
but pulled off his coat and aided
party Dis we'll as Clough to carry
the election, therefore it should
not look strange or unreasonable
for Van to receive this support; In
fact it would be livery ungrateful
person that would not recognize
such valuable service as was rend-
cred by a defeated opponent for
the same honors; most men would
have used every means within their
power to defeat instead of elect,
but Van. did not, he is not of a
selfish disposition. It is to be re-
GREETED that a man with ability and
qualification is to be turned down
because he has the unsolicited in
dividual support Of a man he be-
friended, and because that man
happens to be considered the lead
or of the men whose policy appears
to be distasteful to few of the
people that are envious, but we be
lieve the 'machine'' smoke that
has so thickly enveloped vanSant,
is clearing away and he will yet
stand out more prominent than ev-
or before. He already has the a1-
miration of the people, and will
no doubt prove himself worthy of
their consideration long before the
time arrives for expressing the re-
suit of their deliberation. The
sentiment favorable to VanSant is
found to be increasing, in this To-
cality as we'll as others.

APPENDICITIS.
No Medical Cure, Although Some Peo-
pie Recover.

No Medical Cure, Although some Peo-
pie Recover.
The position is taken by DR.. Nc
Burney, in the London Medical News,
that there is really no medical cure for
appendicitis, even though some cases
recover without operation. He consid-
ers, too, though appendicitis is sur
gical disease, yet operation may not be
necessary in every case, the fact being
that this ailment is a stoppage of the
drainage from the appendix to the CO.
lon, and preliminary treatment is Of
ten worse than useless. Thus, the
opium treatment relieves pain and dis
comfort, but entirely masks the symp-
toms at a most important time, for it
is in the first twenty-four hours from
the beginning of the attack that ply
sicians can decide not only as to. the
diagnosis, but as to the result and
cause, probably, of the case. If, for in
stance, there is no increase in urgency
TN five or six hours. the patient is not
In immediate danger If kept at perfect
rest in bed; on the other hand, if in
twelve hours there is still no increase
In the severity of the symptoms, the
patient should begin to improve. But
If the urgency of the case has steadily
increased in twelve hours from the
time when the diagnosis was made, an
operation will probably be called for.
After two attacks a patient is sure to
have q third, and each attack renders
operation more difficult and danger
GUS; all the advantages lie in the OPP
Grafton between the attacks, and in an
operation during an acute attack the
prognosis Is worse.

Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. 1898.

WASHINGTON. Feb. IL. 1898.
President Mckinley and the
members of his cabinet naturally
decline to discuss, for publication,
the letter written by Senior De
LONE, the Spanish minister to the
u. s., in which the president is
insulted, autonomy for Cuba re-
ferred to as merely a trick, and
the negotiations for a reciprocity
treaty only an excuse to stave off
Intervention by the u. S. in Cuba.
The president will act promptly,
Notwithstanding the resignation
of DeLome, and if Spain does not
ignore that resignation and recall
DeLome, his action will probably
be the dismissal in disgrace of the
Spanish minister. There is also
strong probability that if the
Spanish minister be given his
passports, the action will be fol-
lowed by Intervention by this gov
eminent in Cuba. The publication
of the DeLome letter has created
more of sensation in Washing
ton than anything that has occur
red in connection with the Cuban
question. As usual the hot heads
in congress wish to have congress
take q hand in the business, but
tho level-headed men in con-
gress recognize the ability of Pres
ident Mckinley to properly deal
with the matter, and are perfectly
willing to leave it in his hands.
The matter could not have occur
red at worse time for the inter-
ests Of Spain, as the resolutions
and speeches in the senate by Sem
ators Cannon, of Utah, and Mason,
of Illinois, and the proposed
amendment to the diplomatic anc
consular bill, by Senator Allen, of
Nebraska, all looking to immedi-
ate action by this government eth
er by recognition of Cuban bel
llgerency or independence or by
Intervention, had already brought
Cuban matters to critical point
in the senate.
1t is not surprising that the
post Office department should have
abolished the absurd rule adopted
under the Cleveland administra-
ton, prohibiting postmasters who
owned newspapers from editing
them, as soon as it's attention was
called to it. There was no more
sense in saying that fourth-class
postmasters should not edit news
papers as there would have been
in saying that they should not
keep stores or do anything else.

taiued 9 scorching arraignment Of
the Alabama election laws.


It is oreditable to the good sense
and craftsmanship of the members of
the senate committee on foreign re-
lations that they should have been
unmoved by the prevailing excited
condition III Washington ana have
acted upon the amendment to the d.
p!omatic- and consular appropriation
bill, proposed by Senator Allen, pro-
viding for recognition of the bellig
erency of the the Cubans, just as
though there was mo excitement.
The COMMITTEES, by unanimous vote,
decided 10 make an unfavorable re-
port upon the amendment, because
they did not believe appropriation
bills the proper vehicles for riders
bearing upon questions affecting our
foreign relations, decision that will
be endorsed by large majority of
our people. This action would have
been good thing, no matter who
had proposed the amendment, but it
is doubly good thing as rebuke
to Senator Allen, who did not offer
the resolution to help the Cubans,
but with the hope that it might en-.
barras the administration. The adj
ministration, and not individual SEN
ators or representatives., is held re-
sponsible for the foreign policy of
the government, and the president
who acted upon his personal sympa-
thy, instead of upon his calm judge
ment of what was best for the wei
fare Of the country, would not be
worthy of his high Office.
That it makes difference whose
OK is gored Is shown by the frantic
protests against the confirmation of
the nomination of John II. Deveaux,
Georgia colored man, to be collec-
tor of customs at Savannah, that are
keeping the wires hot between Sa.
vannah and Washington since Presi-
dent Mckinley sent the nomination
OF Deveaux to the senate. One of
the best reasons for saying that the
nomination will be confirmed is the
fact that the white men of Savannah
who are doing the protesting have al
most to man recommended Deveanx
as proper man to be collector at
Brunswick, Ca, and in writing, too.
If he was all right for collector at
Brunswick, why isn't he all right for
collector at Savannah? The only OBJ
lection raised to DeveauA is his color,
and there is less prejudice against
that in the United States senate than
there is in Savannah.
Senator Chandler ably presented
the views of himself and those who
agree with him in believing Hon. H.
W. Corbett, of Oregon, entitled to a
seat in the senate, in speech of two
hours, but as majority of the SEN
ate is on record in other cases against
the contentious of Mr.. Chandler, it is
generally believed that the vote when
taken will be adverse to Mr.. Corbett.

Great excitement and curiosity
has been caused by the Spanish
minister writing to a friend a let
ter in which he insults President
Mckinley. There is no question
as to every citizens true patriot
ism, but some have become excit-
ed to such an extent that they
would at once involve the country
in war, while the even tempered
ones are curious to know what the
result will be. DeLome resigning
and his resignation being accepted
disposes of the matter in such a
way that nothing will be done, but
it has more intensified the peoples
desire to recognize Cuba. The
people are in some what of a SINH
lar state of mind as that of a body
of lynchers who are 80 thrilled
with the spirit of revenge that
they have no regard for law, thus
public sentiment is today. IF Nc
Kinley was to issue a proclama-
ton recognizing the belligerent
rights IF the Cubsns, he would
have the solid support Of the ma
ton, but there is international law
and other questions of q delicate
character that must not be lost
sight of.
