THERE WILL BE NO WAR.

Such Ii the Statement Made BY Mark
Hanna In an Interview.
-, WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Sensational
reports =. having been circulated that
Senator Hanna had expressed the belief
that a conflict between the United
States and Spain was imminent, the
attention of the senator was called to
them. He emphatically denied them,
saying:
Il do not believe there is anything in
the Maine incident or in our relations
with Spain regarding Cuba that will
lead to war. am firmly of the opinion
that the explosion of the Maine was
due to an accident, and think that the
naval court of inquiry will reach the
same conclusion"
"And congress will do nothing?"
"What is there for congress to do!
There is no information, except lot of
sensational stories, upon which to base
all this talk of war. Even the secre.
tary of the navy has no information,
and as long as the president and the
secretary of the navy and all the rest OF
the cabinet keep cool and quiet, there
is no need for the rest of US to get
alarmed.
NO." said Senator Hanna, in con.
clusion, Il honestly and frankly do not
see any reason for the excitement that
is being created. There will be nc
war;"

THE EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

The associate editors of the state
met at Minneapolis last week, and it
was, all things considered, the most
enjoyable meeting ever held. The
City Press Club of Minneapolis, and
the great hearted citizens of that met
ropolitan city, left nothing undone to
contribute to the pleasure on the edit
ors and the ladies who accompanied
them. There was cordiality about
the welcome that made everyone feel
that their presence was just what was
needed to make the occasion a success.
President Knappen of the Press Club
was everywhere all the time, and whe e
ever he was something was added to
the heartiness of the welcome. Every
editor severally and Individually was
the specially honored guest.
And then the meetings were pleas
urable. President Stanton of the EC
itorial association, was the gentlem; n
courteous who presided with dignity,
and yet with free hand that put ev-
ryone at ease. There were a half
score of excellent papers read by
members of the assoc:a lion, the annu-
al address of the president being par
ticularly fresh, vigorous and elegant.
w. w. Jermane, the "Jerry j." of tt e
Minneapolis Journal, one of the mos t
genial of men, as he is one of the ablest
and best representatives of speci;t |
journalism in the state, read a spark
ling paper, full of good things. Harry
Black of the st. Paul Dispatch, an all
around newspaper man, was especially
happy in what his paper contained.
All, in fact, were good.
The banquet at the West Hotel,
for the Knights of the Quill and the ir
ladies, together with honored guests,
in all 400 persons, was a brilliant
function. At the head of the table sat
Governor Clough, and on either hand
James J. Hill and Thomas Lowry.
The West knows how to banquet a
crowd, and every detail was perfection.
The great-hearted and genial Tom
Lowry was an ideal POSTMASTER and

MORGAN OBJECTS
Belligerency Resolutions Should
Not Be Tackled on to Appro- :
.- priation Bills.
If a Declaration of War Is Made
1t Should Be Made in an Hon.
Orable Manner.
Senator Hanna Says There Is No
Cause For Apprehending
Hostilities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Mr. Allen Of
Aered the Morgan Cuban belligerency
resolution as an anne ndment to the dip
lomatic and consular appropriation
bill Mr.. Hale gave notice of a point
of order against the amendment.
Mr.. Morgan, in opposing the amend
ment. said we had no right to make a
declaration of this sort in this way. II
this resolution was made part Of the
bill, Spain would have right to con-
slider it as a declaration of war. He
contended that conditions now were
much different than when the senate
passed the resolution last may. The
temper of the people of both nations
then was much different than now.
Mr.. Morgan said that declarations
heretofore were for peace.
Referring to the Maine disaster and
the investigation now going on, he said
it would not be right to force the ques-
ton now. If the senator from Ne
braska wanted to vote for declaration
of war, let him bring it and state the
grounds. He (Morgan) would vote for
such a resolution.
Mr.. Morgan said he would not vote
for declaration of war against Spain
in disguise. He wanted the challenge
made and picked up in an honorable
way.
Mr.. Lodge opposed making the ques-
ton a subject for a rider on an appro-
priation bill He did not believe in
grave questions of foreign policy being
added to appropriation bills.
Mr.. Teller said he had come to the
conclusion that recognition of belliger-
ency was an executive act and that all
congress could do was to express an
opinion. He thought the executive
ought to pay some attention to the wish
of congress, but did not believe that it
would do so. The last administration
did not; the present administration
will not. The unfortunate occurrence
in Havana harbor should be left alone
until the facts were known.

The Duluth Herald, Mr.. Towne' g
personal organ in the Zenith city, an
nounces authoritatively that Hon.
C. A. Towne will be the fusion candi-
date for congress again in this dis
|strict this fall. There is nothing equiv
ocal in the announcement, and it need
surprise no one. Mr.. Towne expects
to be elected, and there is one, and
only one contingency nnder which his
election can be reasonably assured
a weak state ticket nominated by the
republicans. If the party shall put
up a gubernatorial candidate who
does not inspire confidence and re-
spect, enough republicans will absent
themselves from the polls to defeat the
congressional nominee of the party in
this and the Seventh districts. This
is no guess-work or alarmist talk.
The republican party must bring
back the $4,000 voters it lost to the
state ticket in 1896 by giving them a
vigorous, clean and able candidate
for governor, or fusion will carry the
Sixth and Seventh districts of Mime
sofa, if not the Third with them.
The Duluth Herald says:
The Virginian, published at Virginia, on
the Mesaba range. is a political wi5eacre of
great perspicuity. In its last issue it says:
I'VE do not for Il minute believe Hon. G. A.
TOwne will be a candidate for congressman in
the Sixth district this fall, despite all the talk
about it now going. Mr.. TOwne wants to
head the national democrat ticket in 1900"
One would imagine from the positive tone
of the Nirginian that it enjoyed Nj. TOwnes
confidence, and had been assured by him that
he desired to be the democratic presidential
candidate in 1900. but the fact is the Virginian
does not know what it is talking abOut-in
short it is talking through its hat" PrOba-
bly, the wish is father to the thought that Mr..
TOwle may not run for congress next fall, but
it will sadden the republican organ at Vir-
gnia to learn that its wish is not to be graft
fed. Mr.. TOwne will be Il candidate for IN
gress next fall, if he is alive and well, and he
expects to be elected. He is not seeking the
presi ential nomination in 1900 He believes
that Mr. Bryan is the logical candidate for
that year, and unless all signs fail Mr.. Bryan
will again be the cand !date of the democratic,
populist and silver republican parties.

IT MATTERS little what may be the
name OF the man who occupies the
governors chair III this state. There
are any number of capable men.
But it does signify by what means he
lee ones thu nominee, and what politi-
Cal methods he represents. Bossism
is an offensive word to the ranl' and
file of the people, and the Independent
voter is increasing with astonishing
rapidity. A clean republican brought
OFT with spontaneity is not only as
sured of success, but he will contrib
ute needed strength to the congress
sional candidates in tn. several close
districts. Public sentiment is sound
at heart, and to do it violence is to in
vite party defeat, if not ruin.

Yes. dear. Well, Samuels was going

BELT PUBLIC LIBRARY.
II Has Been Found Difficult to Pay Run
ming Expenses.

II Has Been Found Difficult TO Pay Run
ming Expenses.
Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Belt, Aug. I9.-The Belt Public Library
associa ton held a meeting on Wednes-
day evening TO discuss matters of i'm
p~ortance TO the association. During the
past two or three months there has oeen
a very great lack of interest taken an
tn. library. The reading room has been
but poorly p~atroniZed. Many members
of the association have gone away. 9th
ers have fallen far behind In the pay
ment of dues and the public generally
seems to a almost forgotten there is
such a thing here. The result has been
that the association has found IL Elk
tremely difficult to pay the necessary
running expenses, which includes the
salary of librarian, etc. 1t was feared
it would be come necessary to allow the
library to go back to the Miners union,
which would be the result could 1t not
be a to support itself. 1t was very
much desired that this might be avoid
ed, because II was realized that 1T
would be exceedingly hard to ever Sc
cure its reorganization upon the same
excellent plan under which it has been
running, and besides it you'd be more
or less of a burden to the Miners union.
Mrs. Eta Clingan, librarian, reported
that during the week she had succeeded
in collecting a goodly portion of the ar
rearages, and that If rendered some as
sistance in the promotion of a series
of entertainments which she had in
mind, she believed they might succeed
in overcoming present difficulties. The
meeting adjourned without other action
being taken than the assurance of those
present that they would all exert them
selves in the interest of the library. The
lack of interest taken in this most cred
table concern is no doubt occasioned, to
a greater or less extent, by the warm
weather and the short evenings and TO
the fact that upon every Idle day at
the mines for the past two months near
ly every one who could has spent the
day in the country %nsning, picnicking
and camping. With the cooler weather
will come a renewed interest In the Ii
brary. The library is a good thing, a
credit to the town and the citizens and
every resident in the camp should take
an interest In it's growth and prosperity.
