MERE CONJECTURE.

What common ground the powers
are seeking to reach can only be con.
Iectured. The Spanish government
seems to be hopeful Of results from
shis movement. and this inspired ad-
ditionalgronnd for the belief that it
win not be regarded with favor by
the United States The diplomats.
Lowever. think that If q common uR
derstaadiDg was reached by the great
powers of Europe. such suggestions
as these combined powers might
make could not be lightly set aside
The general view of the diplomats is
that the movement is not 80 much
oBe toward reconciling the United
States and Spain and it is to preserve
the pesce.of the world by combined
actien. SPANS policy in this matter
is one of urging on the European
powers that if Cuba was free from
Spanish sovereignty the next move
nnder the Monroe doctrine would be
10 bring an end of European control
over other West Indian possessions
Great Britain, France and Denmark
have interests in that locality. In
other quarters it was stated that the
influence OF the powers was more
likely to be exerted on Spain, in
urging her to the largest possible
measure of concession
Aa arrangement was reached dur.
ing the day by which the United
States and France viii cooperate
throagh their ministers at Denmark

Released From Debt.

1t is character that tells, whether
it be that of an individual or an insti-
tuition of learning, and, when character
in the individual unites with the char
acter he has given to the institution, it
munity fortunate enough to be it's
location, and one that commands that
moral and financial support so essential
to the latter. ST. Paul is fortunate in
the possession Of such an institution
in the college at Hamline, and the COL
lege is fortunate in the possession of a
president whose character makes Dos
sible the accomplishment of the great
task he has just completed, the lifting
of the mortgage that burdened and
handicapped the college. Men do not
contribute, with the liberality shown
by Mr.. j. j. Hill and those who added
to his $4,000 the remaining $4,000
needed to pay off the debt, to colleges
that do not merit their generosity, and
colleges cannot have that merit unless
there is a strong. conidence-winning
character at their head
1t is a splendid tribute to the work
DR.. Bridgman has been doing at Ham
line for years. this answer to his an
peal for funds with which to lift the
disheartening incubus of debt, as it is
an indication of appreciation not only
of the work done, but Of confidence in
the capabilities for increased useful
ness. 1t is further a manifestation of
the value placed upon such an institu-
ton, so controlled and directed, in it's
effort upon the development of char
acter in the young who come under
its influence, and, going from it, ex-
pand the sphere of the influence of the
school. Released from the drain of
this debt. further endowed with the
money which is sure to come, Hamline
will widen its circle of good influence
and increase it's force in the develop
ment of American character. It is to
these smaller schools, where the per-
sonal touch of teacher and pupil gives
to the former greater formative infu-
ence, rather than to the schools where
personality of teacher and pupil is
lost in the mass, that the country must
look for the best results, and to which
their assistance should be given.
