A Small Man on Large Subjects.

Congressman Page Morris delivered
a carefully prepared speech Friday
night at Duluth. The advance copies
that were delivered to the newspapers
and which have been given place, in
extenso, prove that the congressman
from the Sixth had a desire to put forth
such a mighty array of words asawould
leave no chance for the party spellbind-
ers who are to follow him. It cannot
be said that Mr.. Morris has contributed
anything to the store of human knowl-
edge by his effort. He has beaten much
old straw, and, in the swinging of his
fall he has created such an inordi-
nate amount Of dust that persons who
do not watch with care may be blinded
to the fallacy Of much Of his reasoning
and the falsity Of his figures.
Mr.. Morris took upon himself the
thankless task Of trying to prove that
the deficit caused by the Dingley bill
is imaginary; that it's alleged existence
, was due to the fact that many people
have the absurd habit Of putting two
and two together and making four He
argues that this deficit Is really a sur
plus; that the figures Of the Dingley
bill, which failed Of raising the revenue
that was expected Of it by some $4O,-
100000, must not be separated from the
statistics Of the treasury department,
but must be punched with the gross
receipts and a comparison made with
corresponding periods in the past to
show that any deficit was more than
made up in other directions. Nnfortu-
1ately for Mr.. Morris and his argu-
Eent, the people will not inquire into
the figures showing the receipts under
the Mckinley bill or the Wilson bill.
The large and brutal fact that there
was deficit Of $4,000, 900 in the reve-
nues under the Dingley bill in the first
year Of its operation is likely to fill the
public eye to the exclusion of the ia
bles in addition and subtraction that
Mr. Morris has so carefully compiled
The friends of Mr.. Morris should
have been given advance copies Of his
speech and some of them might have
felt constrained to advise him to re-

nor his associates on the stump can

AS SPANxARDS SAW our BOYS

The Spanish soldiers, with their accompani-
ment of disease, exhaustion, misery and dest-
tuition, are just now arriving from Cuba. and
1t will DO interesting to Americans to hear
what the repatriated soldiers from Santiago
have to say about the United States forces.
says the European editor of the New York
Herald. What Is considered to be a fair
representation of their impressions and opin-
ions upon the subject is today summarized
in an article which is published in all the
Spanish newspapers 1t is as follows:
Nearly all the American soldiers sc2ear
to be over rs years OF age. and are very ro-
bust in appearance.

But, when Mr.. Eustis was elected

about his children going to the abode
of his satanic majesty was all gone.
On Nov. Is, 1898, in the First Baptist
church, the ministers of the city, who
had become much aroused over the
fact that the saloons were VIGOROUSLY

has been done by the mayor or the
police, and the crusaders had been the
only ones to report the saloons wide

outrage. Mr.. Eustis was present and
was pinned down, after much founder
ing, to the question: What do you
intend to do with the Sunday saloon?"
He said: Il do not say that 1 shall not

to close them next month, or the month
after. L am studying and investigat-

Justice Child. sitting in the special term OF
the supreme court, Buffalo, n. Y, has rem
dered a decision which is expected to force
the water department of that city to abandon
one of It's most important rules. The question
before the court was whether a municipal
water depar tment can refuse to furnish water
to tenant simply because the previous
tenant failed to pay his water bill. In his
decision, Justice Child holds that the water
department must furnish water to the Occu-
pant of a house or a factory within the cor
rorate limits of the municipality, provided
the tenant conforms to the rules Of the de-
partment without regard to whether his pre-
decessor, as tenant of the premises, has paid
his bill or not. He holds that the incoming
tenant is not responsible for the debts OF
the outgoing tenant TO the water DEPART
ment.-FiTe and Water.
