STATESMEN AND PARTISAN.
SHIP.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat in
speaking of craftsmanship says: Some
body says that Lincoln was a par
tisan. Of course he was partisan.
He was Republican from that party's
foundation until his death. and he
was Wing previously. Every states
man who accomplishes anything is
necessarily partisan. Popular opin-
ion can not be ascertained nor the
popular will carried out except
through the medium of parties. Ever
since the foundation of the govern
ment, save for a few years in the So
called ERA of good feeling during
Monroe's presidency, there was two
great parties in the country, and
everybody who counted for anything
in politics belong to one or other of
these parties. Every president has
been a partisan. Washington was
one, though many writers pretend he
was not-that he held himself outside
and above each of the parties of his
day. Washington belonged to the
party of Hamilton, Adams, Morris
and the Pinckneys, the party which
constructed the framework of Ameri-
can institutions, and which laid down
the lines on which the government
has been conducted by every party
which has controlled it-Federalist,
Democratic. National Republican,
Wing and Republican. He was q
Federalist. Lincoln was an avowed,
courageous and PERSISTENT partisan.
But he was never sectionalist nor a
demagogue.'

A GOOD SHOWING.

In his review of the business situa-
tions for the past week, Henry
Clews, in speaking of our foreign
trade says:
The bureau Of statistics furnishes
another evidence of the extraor-
binary extension of our export trade.
For the month Of January the export
of merchandise Including silver)
amounted to Sl12 100000, which is
S14, 100000 in excess Of the figures for
the same month of last year. The
imports were valued at $4,000, 600,
which falls 100000 below January,
1897. The months exports show an
excess of S59, 800, 900 over the imports.
From this, however, must be deduct.
ed 100000 for our net imports OF
gold during the month; also a liberal
allowance must be made for the in.
terest and other minor accounts dur.
ing the month, which would leave a
net balance to our credit of probably
$50, 900, to be added to the already
extraordinary floating Indebtedness OF
other countries to the United States.
This is an additional reason for antic.
ipating protracted case in the local
money market.

standpoint the most successful. The
papers presented were of superior
class, the discussions valuable to men,
beers of the craft, while the social fea-
lures were par excellence. The Min
neapolis Press Club, whose guests the
editors were during their stay, outdid
themselves as entertainers. They
rendered banquet at the West at
which over four hundred covers were
spread. Among the prominent citi-
zens who responded to toasts were
Mayor Pratt, Gov. Clough and J. j.
Hill, with that prince of good fellows,
Thomas Lowry, as POSTMASTER. The
banquetters quilted the dining room
at about 1890 a. m. and upon the re-
tirement of the ladies smoke social
took place and continued until the
starting OF the street cars in the
morning.
The editors at the conclusion OF
their meeting yesterday morning
were hown points of interest about
! the city, and everything possible fol-
their pleasure and comfort was pro-
vided by the Minneapolis Press Club
and their committee Of citizens. 1t
was a gathering long to be remem.
bered, and the manner in which Min
neapolis locked after her guests only
emphasized the well known fact that
the sweet girl knows just how to
tickle her callers under the chin to
the best effect, and knowing, does 1t
without blush and in a manner that
calls forth only the highest words OF
praise.

BLUE MONDAY.
Five Parties Arrested on Different
Charges.

1t was. blue Monday in the police
court. Five arrests were made Satur-
day night, and the lookup was well
filled over Sunday.
The first victim up was Frank
Wixon. Officer Kelley caught him
and Geo. Impey fighting in an alley.
He claimed that Empey follow
ed him around and wanted to
fight, and struck him first. He was
charged with disorderly conduct,
pleaded guilty, and paid a fine of SIS
and costs.
Empey was next brought up, and
exhibited black eye to the court.
He was charged with disorderly con-
duct, pleaded not guilty, and the
trial was set for 1:30 o'clock this af-
ternoon.
Empey subsequently changed his
plea to guilty and in default of fine
of $40 was committed to the county
Jail for thirty days.
Jacob Russell, the wire clothes hol-
der man who was taken into custody
Friday, with Empey on the charge of
having stolen the travelling mans
sample case and who was released be-
cause the travelling man could not re-
main to prosecute them, was the
third one to dance on the carpet. He
said that his home is in St. Cloud and
that he has been in Mankato three
weeks. He pleaded guilty to the
charge of disorderly conduct, and the
court gave him until loo p. m. to
leave the city. Russell was engaged
in row with somebody Saturday
night
Harry Athridge was brought up on
the charge of disorderly conduct and
pleaded guilty. He said that he is a
bar tender and has been in the city
three months. When the court ask.
ed him where he tended bar. he re.
piled, ION the hill" The court fined
him $40 and costs or thirty days in
Jail, and remarked that he could tend
bar for the sheriff for awhile. He
was committed to Jail.
John Doe, of St. Peter, pleaded
guilty to the charge of disorderly con.
duct and was ordered out of the city.

Congress has appropriated 100000
to cover the expense of raising the
wreck of the Maine and save what
ever property possible. 1t is said that
there are papers OF great Importance
in the hull of the wrecked battleship
and that a great endeavor is being
made by the Washington authorities
to get them before they are stolen and
fall into the hands of the Spanish.
Divers have been dispatched to the
scene of the wreck and all haste posi-
BILE will be made. 1t is said that Gen.
Blanco and his friends are very anx-
10 us to get possession of these papers
and are likely to employ divers for
that purpose and get ahead of our
government if possible. Just what
business the Spanish dons have med
ding with the wrecked vessel of the
United States while they profess to
be on friendly terms is not plain. And
they ought to be made to understand
that it would be we'll for them to
keep hands off. 1t is not known just
what the papers are, that is kept a
close secret at Washington. One
theory is that they are papers show
ing evidence of Spanish treachery,
others that they are war plans of the
United States or may be simply orders
to Captain Sigsbee. This is all specu
lation, however. But from the efforts
the government is making to obtain
possession of them, it is thought they
are of great Importance.

they bring back anywhere near that

A party of thirteen Englishmen is
said to have started for the KlOndike
on December 18th and had all sorts of

the general view of the unluckiness

the fact that numerous other parties
going there have met with similar
luck does not cut any figure.

tiers at Montauk camp are still with
out shelter. There was little improve
ment in affairs this morning. Detach-
ments of troops one after another ar
rived early 10 ind no preparation for
them. Gen. Young and his few assist
ants had been unable to find accom-
modations for the soldiers who arrived
yesterday and on the previous day. AS
a result many OF the men who arrived
today will be without shelter tonight.
There are nearly so sick soldiers in
the hospital tents who are without
comfortable beds and proper nourish-
ment. Fresh milk is needed for the
typhoid patients. Ii Is stated that ar
rangements are being made to have an
ample supply of milk shipped TO the
camp every day. Four tank cars of
fresh water from Brooklyn are expect
ed at the camp this evening. III Is
stated that the first consignment of
hospital supplies sent by the Red Cross
society and the War Relief association
will be at the camp tonight.
Gen. Young says his driven wells
have struck water all right, but there
are some couplings and pieces OF ma

STOKER KILLED.
The Bancr0it's Launch Had a Brush
With Spaniards.


New York. Aug. 1l.--A special to the
New York Journal from Key West
says: The gunboat Bancroft arrived
today from the Isle of Pines, bringing
news OF fight with spaniards,in which
one Of her men was killed. Ten miles
from the south coast OF the Isle OF
Pines, near Santo Domingo, the wreck
of a schooner was sighted. The Ban
crofts launch. with a one-pounder on
board, was sent out and the schooner,
seeing the launch sailed for Puerto
Cortes, bleaching herself.
Soldiers ON shore fired at the Ban
crofts launch, which replied with her
one FOUNDER. eventually compelling tha
Spaniards to flee.
stoker Emanuel Naulquers was killed
by a bullet through the left arm and
chest. The launch towed away the
schooner. which proved TO be the Car
mite, loaded with flrewood.
The Spanish loss must have been
heavy, judging by the launch's enec-
tive fire.

A DOG AND A DUCK.
The Cause OF Litigation In Sixth
District Court.
Mrs. Mcdonald and Her Sister Given
Judgment Against Policeman McGroaty.:

There was some very contradictory
testimony given in the civil division OF
the Sixth District Court in the trial of
the suits Of Mary Mcdonald and Alice
Gillen to recover damages from PATROL
man Joseph McGroaty for alleged as
sault Mrs. Mcdonald told long story
on the witness stand. In the first place,
IL should be stated that the plaintiffs
and the defendant are neighbors,
though not very pleasant ones, and the
trouble started over some ducks and
dog on a lot on Hagan street. Mrs.
Mcdonald testified that on the after
noon of July IL her watch dog had been
playing around her yard, and that at
about o'clock a duck belonging to
Police officer McGroaty came into her
yard and her dog, which was of a very
gentle nature. began chasing the duck
around. Soon after the officers son
Joseph began stoning the dog and af-
terwards stoned her. He was urged to
persist in this latter course by his
father, she claimed and in a short time
the officer came on to her land and
pushed her down and hurt her side so
badly that she was laid up for week
with 1t.
The plaintiff in the other suit was a
sister OF Mrs. McDonald's, and she said
the officer struck her.
Mr.. McGroaty testified that he looked
out of the window on the day named
that hesaw the dog owned by the plain
tiffs attacking the duck and pulling
feathers out OF the animals back and
ne told his son TO get the duck and as
soon as possible went to it's assistance.
The dog, ne said, got under Mrs. Me-
Donald's petticoat and threw her down.
He denied striking her or her sister.
Judge Sweetland gave Mrs. McDon-
aid judgment for SO and costs and the
other lady Judgment for s. and costs.
