Two Things to Be Pondered.

We are going to take the Philippines
because we can, and we are going to
keep them, if we can. The policy pre-
sents two questions that our people
cannot too seriously and thuughtfully
consider What are the conditions
there? What is our equipment for
meeting them successfully? We know
that the archipelago, with it's thousands
Of islands, is inhabited by a people to
whose customs, habits, laws, languages,
traditions, religions, we are utter
strangers. We know that they belong
to the unprogressive races of the world.
They are, Incapable of self government,
for they have never demonstrated it.
Seven million people who submit for
centuries to the domination Of a few
Spanish soldiery demonstrate their I'M
fitness fer sef-rule. We know further
that their moral sense is as deficient as
is then sense CT individualsn. If we
take control, we must provide govern
ment. Clearly that cannot be the same
as our own; it must be something en-
tiIely different; something of which we
have had no experience except in a
limited way with our tribes of Indians.
These are the conditions. What is
there is our hundred years of self-gov-s
erHing that indicates our capabiIity to
deal suec ssfully W tn III m st cliff ult

George w. Holmes, Pioneer, RE-
visits Scenes eff Early Successes
Among the interesting visitors in ST. Paul
yesterday was George w. Holmes, who is
quartered, with Mrs. Holmes at the Ryan
hotel Mr.. Holmes is a New Yorker but for
all that closely identified with the prin-
cipal events which go to make up the early
history of Minnesota, and especially of ST.
Paul. AS a young man, he came from Phila-
delphia to this state in 1855. and, although not
of age, he promptly went into business and
kept drug store under the old Winslow
hotel near Seven corners.
Gen. S.bley was then the territorial gov
ernor and among the prominent families
were the Kittsons, the Ramseys, the Rices.
Borups, Wilson's and others. Mr.. Holmea
kept such excellent drugs that he was forced
to open a second store and maintained the
two for some years.
Just after the territory was admitted to
statehood he returned to Philadelphia, and
brought back to Minnesota a bride, who soon
made a place for herself in the social circle
in st. Paul. They had many friends and are
back here now for a short visit renewing the
old ties.
Mr.. Holmes Is the representative of ar
Eastern magazine, and is making the prn-
cipal cities of the West on the preparation of
a revised history of America. Mrs. Holmes.
who is vivacious travelled woman of moro
than ordinary gifts. is being shown much
attention by her friends here and in Minno-
apol!s and will remain here for a fortnight
while her husband travels over the state.

THE VENEZUELAN WOMEN.

Miss Louise Stevens, who has come in con-
tact with many Venezuelan women, discussed
them recently before the Women's League of
New York. She said:
A few days ago I happened to be in the
house of Cuban family when a young LADY
entered who was so marvelously beautiful
as to attract attention in any place. She
had eyes OF a limpid black, with arching
proWs, raven hair, features so regular that
a. Phidias might desire to model them, and

spoke Spanish upon entering, but changed

common to her race When l was told that

might be called fair brunette, though

Til, Candidates.

No apology was offered by the DEM
ccrats yesterday in the nomination of
Quartermaster John Lind for gov
ernor. Clough, who sent him to the
front, may be filed with grim surprise,
and Van SAINT may have been shock
ed, but the Democrats who met in Min
neapols were unanimous in their APP
prevail of his selection. There were
many delegates who would have pre-
ferred to name him outright rather
than to have received him as an Of
fering from the Silver Republicans
Managerial policy interviewed, how
ever, in the belief that union of all
anti-Republicans upon him would
nlake1nore unsubstantial the ghost OF
possible disaster in November. Demo-
Gratis who voted for him two years ago
will find no logical reason for refusing
to vote for him now. Other Demo-
Gratis. VINO may support him out of re-
spect for the spirit of harmony, will
feel thankful that it was not the Pops
who handed him out to them on the
platter.
Mr.. Lind is of Swedish extraction,
and is supposedly strong with the
sturdy sons of that nationality in the
Northwest. His imb. baton of Democ-
racy has been som what roundabout in
its process, and possibly may not yet
be wholly completed. He represented
the Republican party in congress, and
finally denied it full fellowship, al
though his friends still insist that his
Winona declaration must be accepted

Upon the other offices on the state

The Platform.

There can be no doubt, after reading
the platform, about the loyalty OF the
Minnesota Democracy to the I Union.
They indorse unequivocally, as did the
partv in congress, the attitude Of the
government upon the Spanish-Cuhan
question They are pledged to the sup
port of the war until such time as an
honorable peace will bring it to an end.
They are urgent, moreover. for an az
gressive campaign that will secure its
early termination, and correspondingly
lessen the sacrifice of men and the
drain upon the nations resources.
This view will be shared by thousands
of homes, by the business interests aid
by the public generally. They so far
Their and record their concern for the
future of the boys when they have re-
turned from the front. This was a
delicate point with Democratic con-
veptions, generally, during the Rebel
lion period, and the war declarations
of yesterday mark the distinct advance
made by the party during the closing
years of the century.
The attitude of the party, so far as
the convention reflected it, is, as ever,
hostile to monopolies and trusts, and
whatever may be regarded as oppres-
sive to the common people. What was
accepted as good party doctrine in 1892
is repeated with emphasis six years
later. Good may come out of Naza-
reth more readily than out of the Re-
publican party, and the platform max
ers noted the fact in glowing colors
10 do 70
issues, the fact being recognized that
there are enough of these to busy the
common enemy on any battlefield. Sill
yer as an issue in state canvass is
properly relegated to the rear. Ma
tional issues have their seasons, and
silver. like the century plant, has
bloomed-and faded away.
The Chicago platform was reaffirmed,
as was expected. Political ethics re-
quire a Darty's national platform to
stand until it's issues nave disappeared
Or been abandoned for others more po-
tential, and when this happens state
conventions wait not on the order of
following the national gatherings. Mr..
Bryan got the same recognition as is
ever accorded defeated presidential
candidates of either party. Seymour,
1:lden, Hancock, Cleveland, all re-
ceived bouquets, and there was no good
reason why Bryan should have been
neglected.
In it's entirety the platform is tenn
perate and toned to suit the prevail
ing ideas of party harmony. A Pop or
patriot may stand on it without dam
age to his dignity. Political plat
forms, like newspapers, cannot be made
| to suit everybody, and National Com
mitteeman OBrien and his fellow-man-
ayers constructed what seemed to them
to be the best under troublesome cir
cumstances.

LONDON, June 15.-The ST. James

article, says:
The city was surprised at the an

were to receive applications for sub

lean, and 1t also caused surprise TO
learn that an appeal is being made at
this moment in Paris, Berlin and in
other Continental centers in Identical
terms to the appeal made in London.
1t was severely questioned in certain
quarters whether it was necessary to
issue the loan on the continent, par
ticularly in France, where it was
thought the popular pro-Spanish feel
1rg was SO strong as to make the issue
iil-advised.
1t is opined by competent financiers
that had the issue been properly placed
before the British inv5 stors thsre would
have been no necessity to seek assist

upon the part of the United States is
not liked in the city, though sentiment

At Schkenditz, in Prussan Saxony. the
burgomaster recently gave orders that on
Sunday people should dress in a manner be-
fitting the day. and when mechanic ap-
peared in the streets in his everyday work
ing dress he was arrested and condemned to
a fine of three marks or one days imprison-
ment. The decision was set aside on appeal,
but the court admonished the culprit that
he was an insensate dolt, and that the grace
of the Lord was not in him. The tribunal
evidently leaned to the conviction that he
had got what he deserved, though the letter
of the law did not sustain the penalty.
