ATTITUDE CT THE GLOBE
Against Any Entnngling Alliance
With Great Britain.

With Great Britain.
The st. Paul Globe, the only daily pa
per in the Twin Cities supporting John
Lind for governor, has the following to
say on the Anglo-American alliance:
1t is by no means certain that our
new secretary Of state, Col. John Hay,
is not at heart a warm friend of Eng
land. Many little things have crept out
that have awakened the suspicion that
such is the fact. Curious how soon our
representatives in London become
tinctured with British ideas. We recall
at the moment only single one on the
list who came back Just as he went
abroad, full-blooded American--Col.
Patrick A. Collins of Massachusetts,,
who was appointed consul general to
London by President Cleveland.
The stalwart Republican Inter Ocean,
of Chicago, is impressed by what it has
heard about Col Hay. "The glamor
thrown around the scheme for binding
our fortunes to the failing cause of Eng
land in Europe" 1t says, fought to be
the last subject to occupy Col. Hays at
tention at the present moment. He
should understand that the dream OF an
Anglo-American alliance is cherished
only by few Anglo-maniacs on our At
lantic seaboard, group of sentimental
mugWumps, and few score Of pulpit
diplomatists, and that it has no hold
whatever on the masses of the American
people," =.
The London Truth of Sept. 8, with the
proverbial brutal frankness of the Brit
ish press, talked thus plainly of the Brit
ish situation:
We find ourselves cold-shouldered by
the great continental powers of Europe.
and we are terribly afrighted lest our
commercial supremacy in the far east
should suffer, for they are all competing
with us there, and Russia has secured to
herself land route to China. We.
therefore, have been for the last two or
three months suggesting to the Ameri-
cans that, as they are our kith and kin,
they ought to join with us in some sort
of alliance. A country is actuated by its
own interests alone. and more thor
oughly practical nation than the Ameri-
cans does not exist on the globe. Even
surprising that they were to retain the
Philippines, they would do their best to
remain friends with all other nations.
and the particular ally Of none. for the
plain and simple reason that this is to
their interest.
The Inter Ocean is right. 1t occupies
the same Democratic ground with the
Globe on this matter. The American
motto should be: Harmonious rela-
tions with all; entangling alliances
with none"

That was a curious expression used by
William Henry Eustis in his St, Paul
speech about holding the scales of
justice equipoise" between Dives on one
side and Lazarus on the other He must
have been reading the scripture for in
spiration when preparing his address.
Does he imagine that commonwealth
like Minnesota contains Lazarus to
eat the crumbs that fall from Dives
table? If Lazarus exists in the state
his party is responsible for him. Lazarus
is apt to be in the poor house, if here
at all, and he will not ask William Henry
in case of his election to ''hold the
scales equipoise" between him and Rock
efeller. William Henry has no bowels of
sympathy for the poor. When Coxey's
ragged army visited Minneapolis on it's
way to Washington, Mayor Eustis drove
it out of the city. Mr.. Eustis
was not felicitous in his figure of
speech, for everybody knows he wor-
ships Dives and cares not continent
tai for Lazarus.

WILLIAM H. EusTIs AND THE IRISH,

"A correspondent at Morris, MIMI,
writes to say that in that village and vi
cinity strong effort is being made by
Republican emissaries ito swing the
Irish into line for Eustis," because of the
friendship he displayed to the Irishmen
OF Minneapolis while serving as MAYOR.
Inc principal argument used by them
to catch the Irish vote" is the philan
thropy shown by Mr.. Eustis in "the
Cling case The correspondent asks the
Irish Standard to enlighten him on the
, matter.
In reply we beg to say that at the time
Of the Cling tragedy. the Irish-American
citizens of Minneapolis had no knowl-
edge. except what they subsequently,
learned through the press, that the vic
tim of Harry Hayward had a drop of
Irish blood in her veins. In common
with their fellowcitizens of every nation
allty. they were shocked at the crime.
and anxious that the perpetrator should
ne brought to justice. AS far as we know
they took no part in the prosecution.
and were satisfied that the law should
take its course Mr.. Eustis, as mayor,
took conspicuous part in the case. He
caused Hayward's arrest and helped to
| convict him. If he deserves any credit
for the execution of the malefactor, the
Irish Standard has no desire to deprive
him of it.
Another matter referred to by our cor
respondent is Mr.. Eustis' friendship to
the victims sister in collecting the life
insurance of the murdered woman We
desire to say that Mr.. Eustis acted as at
torney for Julia Cling the sister of the
deceased, and got s4,s6O2O from the in
surance company He charged 81 200 for
his services, as appears by the file in the
! office of the judge of probate 1t reads as
follows:
Voucher No. /. Jan. 4th, 1896.
Check No. 8.
The National Bank of Commerce,
Pay to w. Fl. Eustis, $1,000.
Twelve Hundred dollars.
JULIA H. GING,
Administrative.
In addition to Mr.. Eustis fee. there
were other legal charges amounting to
1925, making total of 81 1926 for collect
ing payment on an insurance policy of
$4,000 without lawsuit In view of
these facts, where does the "philanthro-
Ply" in the Cling case come W? We fail
to see any. On the contrary, some noted
lawyers inform us that the charges are
excessively exorbitant. and should not
have been allowed 1t is humbug, purS
and simple. to ask the rish-American
voters of this state to vote for William
Henry Eustis for governor on account of
friendship" to Minneapolis Irishmen or
philanthropy" in the Cling case.
We trust the Irish-American electors
of the state will not be swayed from their
allegiance to party principles by such
false representations. We are confident
that they are not such "gudgeons" as
Republican agents take them to be. Let
them do their duty by supporting tho
candidate of the people-Honest John
l1ind--and free the state from the grasp
of corporations that have been preying
upon them for the past forty years.

A Republican organ says that the party
OF Mark Hanna is the friend of labor. or
course it is. The Dingley tariff was
framed especially for the benefit of labor
The protective tariff has been in force,
not FOR the benefit of American manu-

man. The laborer pays more for every
thing he consumes because of high tariff,
and his wages do not increase in propor-
ton, and therefore he is under a big
obligation to the party Of plutocracy.

At the end of the conference he said that

When asked if there was any truth in

woman from Kansas, and that The engage
ment had been announced by her, he
smiled and said: 81 really don't know

he said he might make a short visit at

would be impossible on this trip, as it
would be necessary TO get back TO his

There was no demonstrations as he
walked UP Wall street accompanied by
two friends, and only few persons rec
ognized him. He left for Washington on
an afternoon train.

Lieut.. HobsOn, speaking of the raising of
