Our Irish American citizens are do
ing considerable kicking owing to the
fact that St. Patrick's Day has heen
changed by our esteemed postoffce
contemporary from March 18th to
February Nth. Owing to the con-
fused condition of the editors mind
we presume that Decoration Day will
be set back to March 18th, July 18th
to May 3Oth, and the celebration of
the birth of Christ to July 4th. Get
your frecrackers and Christmas
presents early.

A LEADER FOUND.

1t is highly amusing to watch the
political game now being played all
alone by our excellent contemporary,
the St. Paul Dispatch. Its editor,
George Thompson, is one of the clos
est political friends that w. R. Merri-
am has. Certain it is that Mr.. T. is
still closely allied with the ex govern
or, and the boys in St. Paul, that have
so long made up the organization
known as the State machine of Min
nesota.
At this particular time the Dispatch
insists that the Republican party of
Minnesota is in want of leader. The
Dispatch is opposed to the candidacy
of Capt. Samuel R.sVanSant Of Wi
mona as governor, and it is probable
that it's call for leader of the Repub-
lican party just at this time, is due to
the fact that Capt. VanSant's candi-
dacy is meeting with favor all over
the State.
It is pretty generally known that
Capt. VanSant is opposed by MIR. Mer-
RAM. That gentleman asked Dave
Clough to support another man, and
throw the influence of the administers
ton with the old machine. But Gov
Clougb, with great deal of political
sagacity, remarked that all political
debts that way had been paid, and
that he was going to support a man
who had made him many votes in the
last campaign, even if he had to go
against the machine.
The Dispatch, clinging to it's old
friends, wants to beat the popular
candidate, Capt. VanSant, and in or
der to do it it is willing to go a long
way around the bush and advertise
for a leader.
Capt. VanSant made pretty good
leader when fighting for the preservs-
ton of the Union during the civil war.
He has made good leader in bust
ness. He made an excellent leader as
speaker of the lower house of the leg
islature, and he was an excellent lieu
tenant in the Republican service dur
ing the 1896 campaign, when the head

of the Republican State ticket was so

of the Republican State ticket was so
sorely in need of votes.
All in all, the Captain will make as
good leader as the Republican party
can find in 1898. He will accept the
leadership, not tied down by pledges
and promises, and be will rally the
boys in blue, the business voters, the
young voters and all around his stand
ard, and will lead them to triumph
ant victory.

than ever from a preparation for war
with Germany in which she hopes to
recover the two precious countries
wrested from her by Prince Bismarck.
The trial of M. lola, the noted au-
thor, growing out of what is known as
the Dreyfus affair, is producing the
trouble. In 1895 Dreyfus, an officer
in the French army, was imprisoned
for life on the charge preferred against
him of having betrayed French army
secrets. His conviction and sentence
was secured in secret court martial.
Dreyfus appears to be Jew, against
which Nation there is strong preju
dice in France The latter, however,
have been continually bringing forth
proofs to show that Dreyfus is not
guilty of the charge made against him,
and that he is being illegally deprived
of his liberty. The continual produc-
ton of new proofs have been the cause
of increased excitement, and recently
| Nj. lola, himself a Jew, made an at
tack against his government for its
cowardice in the matter of refusing
Dreyfus new and correct trial. For
this offense lola was arrested and
placed on trial.
As the trial of M. lola has proceed
ed Paris has been the center of vast
mobs, crying "down with the Jews"
and thrusts at lola as the author has
appeared going to and from the court
room. The latter has been crowded
with excited mobs in opposition to the
Jews. lola has practically proved the
charges made against him, notwith-
standing that the military and judi
cial authorities of France have manip
ulated the evidence in every way pos
sible to prove him guilty, but the in
tense opposition of the mob is likely
to force the jury into bringing ver-
dict against the great author. If he
should happen to be acquitted, SO Bit
ter is the feeling in Paris that he will
probably have to remove to another
country.
There are probably few countries,
under government supposed to be
fair and equal, and having courts in
particular, dealing out justice as Just
ice should be dealt out, in which a
man accused of crime, could not have
a fair trial, and be declared innocent
on evidence such as lola has pro-
duced. This case shows the utter in
justice of French laws. Further, it
shows that the French people are rap
idly becoming disintegrated into a
people utterly incapable of governing
themselves. No where else can such
a mob be found as in Paris. No where
else can the flames of revolution be so
easily famed" And, whether lola
be found innocent or guilty by the
jury, the trial will take from under
the French government another very
important support. 1t places France
further from it's goal of breaking the
shackles from it's two lovely daugh-
ters now held in chains by Germany,
and it is almost certain that this terri
tory will never be recovered in the
10th century.

THE MAINE DISASTER.

THE MAINE DISASTER.
The destruction of the battleship
Maine in Havana harbor on Tuesday
night of last week, causing not only a
complete loss of the vessel, but the ad-
ditional horror Of the death of 26O
brave men in the service of the Unit
ed States, is one of the most appalling
tragedies connected with naval history.
About three weeks ago the Maine
was sent sent to Havana harbor to be
ready at Consul General Lees call, to
protect Americans and American prop
erty on the Island. This move was
made necessary by reason of frequent
reports to the effect that revolution
in Hayana was imminent. Before sail
ingthe Maine was at Key West, and
she steamed down into Havana harbor
the same night. She was given a
place in the harbor, where she has
since been anchored.
1t appears that the crew and officers
have been fearful of trouble ever since
the Maine steamed into the harbor
Their letters home before the explo-
sion, now made public, are all to the
effect that the Spaniards in Havana
we're continually swearing vengeance.
The explosion that cost the loss of
26O brave seamen and battleship
worth over two millions of dollars oc-
Cured about 10 o'clock on Tuesday
night of last week. Nearly all of the
men we're asleep at the time. 1t shiv-
cred the window sash in Havana and
it put out the electric lights. 1t rent
the vessel in twain, and three minutes
after the explosion the gallant vessel
was going down, with few members
of the crew rushing to save themselves,
but most all of them dying in their
hunks. Half an hour afterwards the
top portions of the ship we're burning,
but this was all that was to be- seen.
The United States government,
through it's proper officials, is causing
strict investigation to be made into
the affair, sending divers down to the
bottom of the harbor to inspect the
hull of the Maine. While the Presi-
dent believes that the explosion was
an accident, due to magazine ex-
ploding, the feeling is becoming
stronger that the destruction of the
vessel was due to bomb sent out by
some bastard Spaniard and striking
against the vessel in such manner
as to destroy it. While it is we'll that
the American people should keep cool
until the investigating committee COD
cludes it's work, it is just as we'll to OBJ
serve that if the Maine was blown up
in a foreign harbor, controlled by a
Nation which is becoming more and
mora hostile to the United States,
by an act of cruel treachery,
nothing but a swift punishment met
ed out to that Nation will ever satisfy
the American people, who have long
since concluded that President Nc
Kinley's foreign policy is as weak, if
not weaker, than that of Grover
Cleveland's.
It is hoped that the investigation
committee will conclude it's work by
the end of this week, and that the
people will be at once apprised of the
result. For the future of Spain we
hope that the terrible calamity was an
accident.
