ST. PAUL, Oct. 10, 1898.
The political campaign of 1898 bids
fair to 60 down in history as one alto

that only two short years ago the spell

ton at the lannon's mouth, -
with his regiment down somewhere
in the neighborhood of Jacksonville,
Fla. The best evidence that the fnan.
cial and business situation is growing
more and more satisfactory is found in
the fact that political platform orators
are having difficulty in discovering
just what political issues the. voters
are at present interested in. Nobody
any longer shouts for the free coinage
of silver. Every body is singularly and
entirely happy at the results achieved
by both the army and the navy in the
Spanish war. What shall we kick
about, and who shall we kick? are the
conundrums being propounded by the
crank ky leaders of popular discomfort.
Chairman Rosing of the Democratic
state central committee has made one
or two puny discoveries, which he is
endeavoring to twist into great
political issues in this piping time
of political peace. He has discovered
that Hon. William H. Eustis, the Re.
publican candidate for Governor of
Minnesota, was member of the
Board of Directors of the infamous
Guaranty Loan swindle in 1890. He
has failed to announce to his constitu-
ents, however, that strict judicial in.

occasion was taken down verbatim BY

closed, as Mr.. Lind modestly asserts
that he shall do no further explaining in
regard to his bank. Mr.. Kenyon will not
say anything more, because he has already
chucked back through honest Johns
glass house all the rocks that Mr.. Lind
threw his way. The publication Of the
facts DO not seem to have done anything
harmful, because the depositors in the
Brown county bank have been made Sc
cure OF their good money by hurrying

mediately following the publication of
the facts. But Mr.. Lind will probably
be very cautious about swapping polit-
zeal gun hereafter until he learns
whether or not it is loaded.
\ K
It would seem that Mr. Eustis is los
ing patience with his Democratic SLAM
derers, as the Minneapolis Tribune is
responsible for the announcement that
the Republican candidate for Governor
proposes to cause proceedings for Grim
1nal libel to be instituted against the
editor of the Wheaton Footprints.
The paragraph upon which the prose-
cution will be based was published in
The Footprints of last week, and is as
follows:
Candidate Eustis, when he spoke at
the Omaha exposition, Minnesota day,
said: Minnesota would be a pretty
good state to live in if it wasn't for the
Ill

1t seems very singular that any

should be imbecile enough to pub

SANDER. Every honest country news
paper man in Minnesota of every shade
OF political thought, should leave the
footprints of his indignation upon the
anatomy of the Wheaton man, if only
for the moral credit and standing of the
journalistic fraternity.
The regulation political assault upon
the grain inspection law of Minnesota
has been made. The farmers of the state
have been looking for it, and we should
have been disappointed if Mr.. Linds
committee had ignored it this year. It
seems only necessary to say to the farm
ers of the state that this law was passed
by a Republican legislature at their
earnest solicitation, and the wisdom of
its enactment is shown in the high esti-
mate placed upon the minnesota in

country. Mr.. Eustis assures the farm
ers of the state that when he shall take

from all responsi bility in the premises.
The fact is that Mr.. Eustis never gave
his consent to the use of his name for
the Guaranty Loan Directorate, thai
he had forced the withdrawal Of his
name therefrom full year before the
crash came, and that his action was

He then went to Burr Oak, in Jewell

years during which he resided at Blue

has four children, the youngest being
a boy and the others are girls.
He was originally a druggist, but Of
late years has been a member Of the
firm Of Horner & Ross, hardware and
implement dealers. This firm is quite
successful owing no doubt to a great
extent to the liberal use of advertising
space in local papers In 1891 Mr.. Ross
was elected Register Of Deeds Of Jewell

reelected in 1893, and his record in that

amply prepared him for his duties as
Assistant Secretary Of State. In the lat

reflect credit on Secretary Bush, who,

SAMPSON AND SCHLEY.

Admiral SIMPSONS official report Of the
naval battle off Santiago shows a most
unenviaae disposition. General Miles is a
man we have never liked, but when we
compare him in his treatment of Shafter
to Sampson, in his treatment Of Schley,
we cannot but declare 1t is as Hyperion
TO satyr.
Sampson describes the engagement with
Cervera's fleet in general terms and takes
most studious care to avoid referring to
Schley's special part In it. Sampson is
very sore because he was absent when
the action began. His jealous disposition
has lowered him very much in public opln-
ion. and most people now regard 1t as
very fortunate indeed for our arms that
the command devolved upon Schley.
In Schleys report to Sampson. Schley
has this 10 say:
/ congratulate you most sincerely upon
this great victory 10 the squadron hinder
your command, and am glad that had
an opportunity TO contribute in the least
to a victory that seems big enough for
all of u.s.
Schley evidently intended this as an
emollient for the exasperated feelings OF
Sampson, but we haven't the slightest
doubt it had exactly the opposite effect.
Sampson probably few into a rage when
he read that paragraph. There is no
magnanimity in his composition, and it
is impossible that he should understand
1t In others.
Schley ought to be given command
separate and apart from Simpsons, be-
cause II is now certain that Sampson
hates him very heartily and is incapable
Of doing him justice.
