THE PRESIDENTS IN
FLUENCE.

During the past ten days the
American people have shown to the
world how orderly they can conduct
themselves under circumstances that
are most trying. In spite of the fact
that news has been spread broadcast
over the land to the effect that there
is little question but that the Maine
was deliberately blown up as the re
suit of plot which the government
of Spain will be held accountable for,
there has been at no point any un-
seemly demonstration resulting there
from. Through all this trying period,
following so closely upon the De LONE
incident, greatly aggravated by the
state of affairs in Cuba, the people
have had most splendid example set
for them, in the action of the presi-
dent, and his outward calmness. while
doubly anxious over the matter has
had a salutary effect upon the nation.
The New York Times, Democratic
paper, that has always maintained an
attitude toward the administration of
the severely critical, pays the follow
ing just tribute to the American peo-
pie for the good sense displayed, and
to the president for the calmness and
wisdom displayed:
No Latin nation, we imagine, would
have kept it's head as we'll as the
American people have kept theirs dur
ing the disturbing events of the past
two weeks. In Spain or France or
Italy there would have been tumultu-
Gus assem- blages, much Outcry in the
streets and indictments to riot. Out
side of the reckless newspapers there
has been no raving here. But the
president has furnished the most con-
spicuOus instance of sanity and wis
dom. His perfect calmneSS has not
been for moment disturbed. His
judgment has been faultleSs. He has
made no mistake. Mr.. Mckinley has
shown no desire to make personal or
political capital out Of the grave mat
tiers with which he has had to deal.
He has done no posing. He has not
invited attention Of the nation, but
has performed his high duties with as
little fuss and ostentation as he would
have exhibited in labors of the dullest
routine. Such president is the de-
spair of jingoes, but he inspires the
country with feeling of confidence.
Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture of the whole matter has been
the wonderful influence the president
has had upon congress which has pre-
vented members in either house, even
of the most extreme jingo spirit, from
making any move that would in any
way embarrass the administration in
the relations now confronting it with
Spain. 1t testifies to his wonderful in
huence over men, and to the conf
dence men have in him in this great
crises.

The ST. Paul Dispatch says that a
strong effort will be made by the COM
mercial interests of the nation to
prevent war with Spain should the
course of events switch in that direc-
tion. and have the differences settled
by arbitration. Why not, What is
there to prevent the differences. what
ever they may be, being settled by
arbitration rather than by the sword.
Wherein would it be any less patriotic
to do so, then to resort to bloody
strife? The Dispatch thinks that if
the United States calls for an indem.
nifty and the giving up of Cuba, Spain
will ask for a final adjustment by ar
Duration. Of course such a course
would not suit the extreme jingOes in
this country nor the Weylerites of
Spain, but peaceful adjustment of
the various complications would be
TO the best interests of the country and
the course of civilization. War should
be matter of last resort, but if it
must come the United States will not
shrink from it.

WILL SURPASS ANY NATION

Henry Clews in his weekly review
of the business situation and the eff.
feet of the Maine disaster and the
subsequent movements have had up.
on the market, says referring to the
nations vast resources:
1.-THE United States has resources
and credit almost without limit. She
has 100000 of people possessed of
energy, remarkable brain power,
methodical, level-headed, courageous,
determined, and with powers of great
endurance-a people who have shown
themselves to be great in peace aud
great in war, Our own civil war de-
mOnStrated that fact, and also that
the people of the whole nation were
uniformly brave. While our navy is
only fifth amongst nations at this
time, in the event of war and before
it's termination we would become a
naval power, if necessary, equal to
that of England; as with the credit of
the nation, backed by individual help,
it would be enabled to buy all the
war vessels now being built for other
nations as we'll as construct very
largely at home. Many vessels now
in use for mercantile purposes would
be converted into vessels of war also.
II the president of the United States
should call to arms tomorrow, the
number Of people that would volun-
teer would be so immense as to dazzle
the world. Such in this country is
the love Of country and the desire of
the people to protect the honor of the
nation, and it may be said that there
is scarcely any limit to which they
would not contribute in both money
and muscle for that purpose. A wal
with this country would be an exhibit
tion to the world of the superiority OF
the American race as embodying 10y
atty to country, pluck, force any money
resources, besides an inventive genius
for the creation of war-m4king uten-
sils that will surpass any other sec.
tion of the globe"

There is no question but that the
trial of M. lola was simply farce
There was apparently no aim or desire
to give him Justice. In fact public
sentiment was of a nature there that
justice would not be allowed land pub
lie sentiment seems to have had full
possession of the courts. But the YER
dict has pleased the people, satisfied
the army, and as the government and
the army are virtually the same
thing, the government stands stronger
today than ever with the people, who
have been against lola from the first.
While the trial seemed to shake
France to point where the republic
was likely to collapse, the result has
doubtless made it stronger then ever
before, for the passing moment at
least.

MORE MACHINE EVIDENCE

The efforts of Mr.. Van SAINTS
friends to prove that the Winona
statesman is not in any combine with
the state machine" goes glimmering
down the valley as developments de-
velop.
1t is given out cold, but quietly,
that the lumber, flour and railroad in
terests of the twin cities are against
Eustis and for Van SAINT If this be
true it is only another straw showing
how thoroughly entrenched the ma
chine is, and how exceedingly thor
ought is parts are oiled.
One of the latest evidences of ma
chine domination comes home to the
people of Mankato through recent
visit of Mr.. Eli S. Warner, to this
city. Mr.. Warner was formerly and
for many years resident of Blue
Earth county, and he has wide &C
uuaintance hereabouts. He is chair
man of the Republican state central
committee, and whether or not he
voices the sentiment of that COM
mittee Mr.. Warner himself is a very
loud and high-kicking Van SAINT man.
His mission to Mankato, and later to
points in the country, was, it is
limited, in the interest of Mr.. Van
SAINT, but it is presumed that he got
rather cold comfort if that was really
his mission.
The Republican state central COM
mittee has no moral right to take ad-
vantage of their situation to advance
the candidacy of any man for state
Office. When they do assume to do so
they are, collectively, or individ-
uallY, subjects for severe censure.
If they want to advocate any
particular man or set OF men
for nomination, they owe it to
themselves as we'll as the party to
resign from the committee. This
sort of business has hitherto been
worked by former committees and it

the sale of bonds. Now the treasury
is obtaing more gold then it wants and
has refused to take more Of the yellow
metal in exchange for currency. This
has been done in order to protect its
supply of legal tenders. The treasury
now holds sl67, l65, OOOin gold, and but

There is some complaint in business
circles because of this action on the
part of the government, but the
treasury officials state that the new
regulations will force larger use of
gold in general circulation as the
banks will be obliged to look to the
public to obtain the currency they
need.

in speaking of President Mckinley

A Washington report credits Presi-
dent Mckinley as saying that while
he did not propose doing anything to
preeipitate war with Spain, and did
not just at present consider war neces-
sary or inevitable, yet he felt he
would be lax to'his duty if he did not
prepare for the future. This state
ment may have been made by the
president and it may not, but it is be-
ing Interpreted by those who wish to
belittle the president, as meaning
that he will 60 to any extreme to
avoid war if possible. There does not
seem to be anything in the action Of
the administration to justify any
such view being taken. Notwith-
standing the denials that are made it
is we'll known that most active pre-
parations for war are being hurried
forward by the government. OF course
it would not do for the president to
avow that he expected war and would
push everything to that end. Such
an avowal would place this govern
ment in a very bad position in case
events shape themselves so that war
does not occur. There is evidence
enough to warrant the assertion that
if Spain is responsible for the Maine
disaster, it will be held strictly &C.
countable therefor by the Mckinley
administration, and that the admins
tration will keep abreast of the pre-
vaiIing sentiment of the nation with
out any urging on that score.
