To Re=NOminate Eddy.

Congressman Eddy will be re-nom-
mated by reclamation at the Seventh
district convention which has been
called to meet at Fergus Fallson June
%. Mr.. Eddy has twice led the Re
publican forces to victory in this dis
trct and redeemed it from the slough
of Populism. He has been an able
representative of the people and the
state in congress and is deserving of
another term. This the Republicans
of the district appreciate and he will
not only be nominated, but when the
votes are counted next November will
have larger plurality than before.
There was a rumor to the effect that
Hon. Halvor Stevenson, of Crooks
ton, would be candidate for the
congressional nomination, but Mr..
Stevenson denies that he is or has
been a candidate or has authorized
the use of hisnamein this connection.

business of the session is completed
as provided for in resolution offered
by Representative Dockery of Mis-
souri, and referred to the ways anC
means committee, instead of adjourn
ing until December. Therefore there
is no probability of the adoption o.
the resolution. The only thing thai
congress has to do with the conduct
of the war is to furnish the money
that will be needed. When that has
been done there is no reason-no good
reasonably congress should not ad,
journ until December. The admins
tration has shown that it knows how
to conduct the war successfully.

SECRETARY TRACY who has been

the Philippine islands: owe must
hold them. They we're taken as
war measure and they are magnifi-
cent possession for this country.
They will be invaluable rs coaling
station and will give us more of a
standing in that part of the world.
The Monroe doctrine does not apply
to them. They were not taken for
the sake of conquest, and their pos
session comes to us rightly and Iegit-
imately. We will find it more diff
cult to get rid of them than to keep
them, because international complica-
tons may cause other nations which
would like to have them to be afraid
to offer to buy them. We must keen
them, after having captured them, as
we have.

MINNESOTA congressman are all can
didates for denomination except Joel
Z. Heatwole in the Third district
All are Republicans, and all have a
snap" as far as carrying the election
goes. Mr.. Heatwole can be re-
elected in the Third if he wishes the
place. His record there has been
phenomenal. The Third was at the
redistricting of the state few years
ago, gerrymandered Democratic dis
trict. Mr.. Heatwole redeemed it and
at the last election swept the district.
In congress he has been honored with
place on the foreign relations COM
mittee, SO that he has continually
been brought into prominence of late.
Many of his constituency desire his
reelection, and Mr.. Heatwole would
be conserving the best interests of
the Third by reconsidering his with
drawal.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From The Tribune's Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May Ii.


From The Tribune's Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May Is.
On TO CUBA That is the watch
word of the army that is being gath
cred at the nearest points of embark
alton as fast as possible. There has
been no change in the plans of the
administration, but the bad guesses
of many newspapers have made it
necessary for them to announce that
changes have been made. While the
original plans for the invasion of
Cuba have not been changed, they
have been widened and enlarged be-
cause the president has obtained &C
curate knowledge showing that it will
be impossible for the insurgents to
render aid to the invading army that
it was at first supposed they could.
The insurgents are widely scattered,
and according to the best information
they could not all be gotten together
for the purpose of assisting in max
ing an assault upon Havana inside of
a month or six weeks. Therefore
the president will not wait for them,
but will land an army in Cuba large
enough to lick the Spanish army, at |
the earliest possible moment-the
first installment of that army will
probably be on Cuban soil before this
is printed, but it is just as we'll for
the impatient to remember that it |
takes more time to move an actual
army than it does to move an army on
paper.

PbEsl DENT MCKINLEY has probably |
not sent a single nomination to the
senate that has afforded him more
genuine pleasure than that of George

The accounts of the wrecking COM
panies which we're ordered to stop
work on the wreck of the Maine and
send their boats home when it was
seen that war was inevitable, we're
this week settled by the payment of /
$4,000 by the navy department. The
wreckers recovered government prop
erty worth much more than that. In
fact, the five six-inch guns they fished
out of the wreck are alone worth more.

The senate has adopted the Joint
resolution proposing constitutional
changing the date for the
Inauguration of president and vice
president and for the expiration of
the, terms of senators and representa-
lives from March 4th to May 4th, to
take effect in 1901. This is an all
round good amendment and it ought
TO be put into effect. Besides insur-
ing pleasanter weather for Inaugural
ton Day, it would give congress an
opportunity to do something more at
The short SO sions than to pass the
appropriation bills.

ANGRY AT HULL HOUSE.
Chicago Alderman Declares Jane Ad-
dams Charity Work Must Cease.

Chicago, March 3.-"Hun House will be
driven out of the Nineteenth ward as the
result of this fight made on me-"
This is the statement of Alderman
Johnnie" Powers, after reading the
speech of John Maynard Harlan on Sun
day afternoon.
Eyes, my boy, Hull House will be
driven from the Nineteenth ward because
of this fight on me-" he declared. The
people are sick and tired of the way Huh
House abuses the ward. The business men
say they are through with such constant
attacks on the condition of the streets.
Hull House says the streets are nltnler
than in any other ward, that l neglect
my duty toward residents, that there IS
more crime in the ward and that no sub
stantial improvements are made.
Il assert the streets are no hlthier than
those in any other ward can take you
into ten yards, within a radius OF Two
miles of the city hall. where you can find
as much crime as there is IL the Nine
teenth ward. Hull House lies about the
ward, has ruined business prospects. Bust
ness men will not stand It,
what has Hull House done Tor the
ward, anyway =.
tuaIly acknowledged Hull House was DO
ing good by saying: when John harlah
came into my saloon all said to MIN was
that Jane Adams ought not oppose me
because I could help her great zeal IN
the work she was doing.

CONGRESSIONAL APATHY.

Tt is daily becoming more apparent
that it is the intention of congress to
enact no legislation this session beyond
the passage of appropriation bills.
This course has been strictly adhered
to throughout the three months which
that body has now been in session and
the outlook for the future promises no
Improvement.
Failure to tamper with the currency
will probably meet with general ap-
prevail but there are many Objectionable
things which congress might have done
and has not What the members will
be held to account for is not doing any
thing even that which would be in ac-
cord with the expressed wishes of the
people. Of this class of proposed leg
islation is the postal savings bank bill.
1t is not only demanded by the people
generally but its endorsement could not
injure the party nor the individual mem
Der supporting it. For this apathy it
is not unlikely that many candidates
for reelection will be called to account
by their constituents. The people are
in earnest about postal banks.
Probably there has never been so
strong a popular demand before for the
passage of any measure at the hands OF
congress. Petitioners numbering more
than half a million voters have asked
congress to pass this bill Labor or
CARNATIONS representing hundreds Of
thousands OF wOrkingmen have de-
manded the establishment of the postal
savings bank system. Back of all this
is a strong current of public sentiment,
which does not always find expression,
that would be gratifed at the passage
of such a bill.
The vote of the country merchants of
the west, as taken at the February
meeting of the National Association of
Merchants and Travellers. should prove
a revelation to congressman as to the
strength of public sentiment in favor Of
the postal banks. The average count
~ merchant generally is a first class
index of the conservative sentiment of
his community upon subjects of public
interest. A typical ballot of country
merchants from sixteen states gathered
in Chicago at the close of last week
showed results as follows: For postal
savings banks, 1877; against, 6; no opin-
ion, IS. This vote may fairly be taken
to indicate the sentiment of the sixteen
middle and western states which were
represented in the ballot. Many of the
country merchants who voted for postal
savings banks We're found as the result
of interviews to be enthusiastic advo-
Gates. With such men failure of con-
gress to do anything important when it
was possible to pass the postal savings
depository bill will constitute a serious
offense.
On the fortunes of western Repub-
lican congressman the passage or fail
ure of such a bill is likely to have con-
siderable influence. 1t will not be
enough for many of them to say that
personally they favor the proposition
They will be unable to escape RESPONSE
bility for the failure of their party to
allow the postal savings depository bill
to come to a vote in the house By
permitting the bill to pass, those in
control at Washington can rightly say
they have given the people a piece of
legislation of great Importance.

HOWELLS ON lola.
That He Was Tried at All Feat of
Justice

New York March ga reporter call
ed on William Dean Howells, the novel
list, for an interview on the lola trial.
Mr. Howells who will next month
celebrate his sixty-first birthday, looks
considerably younger than his age. He
entered his library with brisk anu
elastic step and as he welcomed the
visitor his voice and smile had the
heaFtiness of youth.
THE encouraging part of the whole
affair." Mr.. Howells said, lis the fact
that it was brought to a trial at all:
The trial of Emile Zola meant, of
course, a second trial of Esterhazy and
Dreyfus,, and, although justice mad no
more chance this time than 1t had at
the court-martial, still it was a good
thing to compel the government to give
lola a hearing. Imagine the same
thing on German or Russian SOIL NO
matter how gross the injustice, the gov
eminent would not have allowed the
case to be reOpened. 1t takes coun-
try like ours, a republic, for that. Mon
arches cannot afford to establish such
presidents.
Take the case of Mrs. Maybrick.
am not familiar with the details OF the
trial but it is well known that the
judge who had charged the jury AFTER
ward died in a lunatic asylum.
"Zola's trial? Why of course, it was
amusing" Mr.. Howells said, with a
hearty laugh. we here can hardly
realize such scenes in a law court. The
only instance I remember where one OF
the actors in a trial was allowed to talk
back to the lawyers and judges was IN
the case of Guiteau. Gu1teauS talk
was not stopped by the judge, and so
much the better for justice on this par
ticular occasion. Why, Gu1teau was
nadman, and I can't see how they
could hang him. No, there was not
much Justice at the lola trial. But is
not ZoIa's an enviabie position to be in?
What a glorious thing it is to have a
chance to fight for justice as he does!
The whole country is against him. His
enemies triumphed; but they know as
we'll as lola that the real victory is on
his side.'
Mr. Howells said this in the simple
way which characterizes him, but as he
spoke a light of admiration came into
his eyes and there was a tremor of en-
thusiasm in his voice. 'Voltaire," he
continued, had a similar experience
He fought the French government in
behalf of poor outraged family. There
is this difference, however, We lta1re car
ried his point, while ZOla must go to
iau for the boldness with which he
proclaimed the truth. But victory IN
the higher sense is the result in his
case as it was in Voltaire's."
