In the clerk of courts office yesterday after
noon after office hours, there was a good
deal of talk about making books on election
and some about putting up real money-this
talk only though big figures were INDUCED in.
Capt. Bean stopped the talk. He said:
''You fellows remind me of an incident that
came off at the national convention at Min
neapolis in 1892, when you talk about making

Two Sufficing Conversations

Whatever further may come of the
Spansh-Cuban complication, sufficient
has already come to this country to
amply compensate for what of cost has
been incurred. Should the whole Of
the fifty million dollars appropriated be
spent in war preparations and no war
ensue, still we will have received bene-
fits that now, and more in the future,
will vastly outweigh the dollars. First
in lasting effect is the entire oblitera-
ton Of all that hateful sectionalism,
product of the civil war and seduluous-
ly cultivated for years by a party base
enough to use it as party capital. It
IS not many years ago that Republican
papers delighted to depict their leader
in the house plumed and valiant, pranc-
ing down the aisles and shaking his
mailed fist under the noses of the Con
federate brigadiers." Long after that
plumed knight was forced reluctantly
to admit that there were no longer any
presidencies wrapped up in the bloody
shirt, though suspicion of Southern dis
loyalty still lurked in Northern breasts.
1t was one of the few surviving Con-
federate brigadiers in congress, the re-
doubtable cavalry leader, Wheeler,
whose speech, when the Maine disaster
set congress ablaze, famed highest with
loyal devotion. From all over the
South have come assurances of support
in case the dire contest of battle comes.
Everywhere there is seen. there the ar
dor Of loyalty for the Union shown
thirty-seven years ago for dfsunion;
now, however, freed from the selfish in
terests that formed it's base then. Now
the last trace of suspicion of loyalty
vanishes before this universal proof of
fealty. The South stands shoulder to
shoulder with the North for the com
mon defense; the gray and the blue
merge into one common color; we are
all once more Americans. No longer
need the Democratic party fear to cross
Mason and Dixon's line for its national
candidates, nor is the uniform of a.
Confederate brigadier a bar sinister for
bidding national recognition.
Not less significant, not less pregnant
with future possibilities affecting hu-
mainly for it's good, are the closer re-
lations that have come to the two
great, common-language nations of
the earth; the subsistence of the jingo-
lists who have busted themselves with
stirring ancient hatreds; of reckless
partfsans who traded on hereditary
prejudices and manufactured fright
some bogiemen to scare the tlmid into
docility. The hopes of humanity freight
the destiny of these peoples with a
common ancestry and a common
tongue, and they who have promoted
antagonisms, fomented strife, fostered
division, from whatever motive, for
whatever purpose, have but impeded
forces working for the welfare of the
human race. This is the voice Britain's
poet laureate hears to which he gives
the words:
Now fling them out to the breeze,
Shamrock, thistle and rose;
And the Star Spangled Banner unfurl with
these
A message to friends, to foes
Wherever the sails of peace are seen and
wherever the war wind blows"

Tenderfoot Against Adept.

II it was the purpose of this admin
istration to intervene in the Cuban
Spanish affair, with the object of Sc
curing the independence of Cuba. It
has played it's game bunglingly. There
were two valid grounds for interven-
ton. the sentimental or humanitarian
and the injury to our commercial in
terests. Either was sufficient. Addi-
tional to both these, furnishing the op-
portunity and its justification, was the
report of the naval court with its de-
cision that the force that DESTROYED
the Maine was external, leaving the
irresistible conclusion Of Spanish re-
sponsibility. The president neglected
to utilize this opportunity. He paltered
with it until it had passed
He fell back upon the humanitarian
ground. He submitted to Sagasta an
ultimatum. The Spanish government
must permit relief for the starved re-
concentrates to be sent by the United
States, and there must be a cessation
of hostilities. He resorted to diplomacy
with a nation skilled in it's arts by
centuries of practice, while he had but
his own inexperience, the aid of his
Canton lawyer and that of an old man
in his dotage. Possibly somewhere be-
hind the scenes was Supernumerary
Foster, but we catch no glimpse of
him. When a tenderfoot sits in a.
game with experts, he is pretty apt to
get the worst of it. Sagasta was not
slow to take the advantage given him.
He is willing to accede. Not only may
the United States send relief, but he
orders million or two pesetas set aside
for the relief of the reconcentrados
He directs Blanco to permit them to ,e
turn to their homes and to provide them
with food and clothing. He offers an

over st. Paul except in the adaptation
of her railway system to the needs of
the wholesale trade for receiving and
shipping goods with the greatest ia

made by monopolizing the territory

The proposition suggested by The

restoration of the ground now occupied
by tracks to the jobbing trade, while
taking for the passenger traffic ground
far better adapted to it than is that
now used. In line with this is the
movement Of the Northern Pacific To
open a spur through the center of the
blocks lying between lower Fifth and
Sixth streets, thus adding some 1000
feet OF frontage on each street for
Warehousing, with tracks and switches

THE UNANSWERED PRAYER.
Written for The Globe.

Written for Inc GloDe.
A nation it was that prayed,
AS nation alone can pray,
For only the right to a stand-up hgnt-
For only a chance to remove the blight
Of distant Kingdoms sway.
But the sun has risen and set,
And the voice of her prayer is low;
Though, starving and bleeding, she faces We
The blades of her murderous foe.
And. weary and wan, she is fighting on,
Answering blow with blow.
And the nation that heard her prayer
Was nation young and strong
A nation free, whose chivalry
Was the pride and boast Of liberty
And the soul of her sacred song.
Now the nation young that heard
The prayer from a stricken Land
Promised her aid and her dead are laid
The martyred victims of trust betrayed
Where slain by the tyrants hand.
But the sun has risen and set,
And the voice of her prayer is low
Though, starving and bleeding, she faces vel
The blades of her murderous foe.
And. weary and wan, she is fighting on,
Answering blow with blow.

Kansas City's Public Library.

On last Sunday The Globe fur
nished its readers with a letter from
a special correspondent regarding the
conduct of the public market in Kan
sas City. In this issue a letter appears
concerning the public library at that
place. st. Paul can derive much adj
vantage from a study of the example
set by Kansas City in connection with
these two important institutions Of a
public market and public library.
Here. the two interests seem to be SO
intermingled that whenever the subject
of providing new market place is agi-
tated the advocates of public library
building clamor against the assump-
ton of the cost until the object of their
affectionate solicitude is properly cared
for. OF course every good citizen of
st. Paul bushes when reminded of
the absence here of decent library ac-
commodations. He is expected to do
this in order to maintain his reputa-
ton as a public-s spirited man, but the
blush soon fades from his cheeks and
the memory Of it departs until men
ton is again made of new market
house plans.
Kansas City has, meanwhile, gone
ahead and provided itself with a mar
ket place, yielding a revenue Of $4,000
per annum to the public fund. 1t has
also provided itself with free library
building. costing for its construction
100000. The anagement of the library
is under a non-partisan school board,
and the people voted school bonds to
secure the building. 1t has 10000 vol
umes of select reading matter, as
against the 10000 volumes in our city
hall.
By the publication of these two letters
treating Of the market place and Ii
brary of Kansas City, The G o has
hopes by bringing to the notice Of the
public the o-ahead-and-do -it policy
and example of Kansas City, to slim
ulate the citizens of ST. Paul to early
action calculated to be productive Of
similar substantial and satisfactory re-
suits
