HON. PAGE NORRIS.

When selected as the candidate
for congress two years ago, Page
Morris resigned the district Judge
ship to accept what seemed to be,
f not a hopeless chance, yet one
which was not very promising.
The party in this district did not
know him we'll, although he had
scores of admiring friends not only
in Duluth, but in Stearns and other
counties of his district, who had
faith in him and urged the nomln-
alton, not only upon the conN en-
ton, but upon him, and he very
reluctantly consented from a sense
of duty to his party. That neither
he nor his friends made a mistake
is very apparent to his district to-
day. As good a-man as he was
then, he is better now by reason
of an educative experience, and he
has been quick to grasp what the
occasion has offered in the way OF
better equipment for the discharge
of the responsibilities thrust upon
him.
His speech the other night
stamps him as man of breadth
and ability. 1t was logical, tar
and eloquent.
On the following evening ne de-
livered practically the same address
in Duluth, and it was reported at
length in the Pioneer Press and
Minneapolis Tribune. These pa.
pers not only deemed it worthy OF
reproducing in ertens0, but this
is what they say of it:
Pioneer Press: We gladly surren-
der several columns of our space this
morning to the very strong and able
speech delivered by Hon. Page Morris
at Duluth last night. 1t will we'll re-
pay the attentive perusal of every
voter, not only in the Sixth district
but throughout the state and the
Northwest. He opens it with an effec-
tive contrast of the terrible condition
of business and industrial prostration
which prevailed two years ago-large-
ly in consequence of the war waged by
the populists and democrats against
the foundations of all public and
commercial credit and against the in
dustries of the country with the pros
porous activity which has followed the
advent to power of the republican
party, with it's sound money policy
and the enactment of the Dingley
tariff law
He plainly shows by convincing
array of indisputable facts and statls-
tics the distinct and substantial bene-
fits which that measure has conferred
upon the country, both in increasing
the revenues of the government and
stimulating the wide range OF Ameri-
can Industries.
Incidentally he exposes a disingen-
nous attempt of his adversary, through
his friends Teller and Mantle, to undo
in the senate the work that had been
accomplished in the house in securing
protection for one of the chief indus
tries of the Sixth district by nearly
securing the passage of an amendment
abolishing the duty on white pine; and

actors. This letter of Hendryx to
Bede is lust such a revelation. 1t ex-
hibits the double role which Jadam
Bede is playing! Charley says to
Bede: .'you are just as good arepub-
lican as T am, but he suggests that he
play it on the Stearns county democ-
racy by enacting a double role by
being just as good republican as
Hendryx, but playing that he is agood
Democrat And this is the high and
honorable gentleman" who would
meet Hon. Chas. A. Towne in joint
debate!
But-the Times remarks about
double dealing on the part of j.
Adam Bede are very funny in this
setting. The fact is that Mr.. Bede
adheres to the time-honored prin-
cipIes of democracy in his advocacy
of the doctrine of sound money,
while the editor of the Times re-
pudiated them between two issues
of his daily paper. When the
democratic national convention of
1896 convened the Times was a
Owed -wool-no, surface dyed
advocate of honest money, and
in an editorial of that day sneered
at the idea of the convention
adopting the pernicious tenet of
popuIism, the free coinage of silver
at 10 to 1. At that time he and j..
Adam Bede were fellow democrats
of the one way of thinking, and
Charles A. Towne was the young
man whose wealth of CAB and
poverty of ideas were his sole
stock in political trade. Presto.
The next evenings Times told of a
lightning change of convictions, a
complete summersault of opinion
on the part of its editor, and he
landed right in the lap of Mr..
Towne, whom he has ever since
regarded as his wet nurse from
whom he draws political sustenance
for his paper. And Mr.. Bede re-
manned just where that convention
found him, and yet, by edict of the
so-cafled democratic party, no
longer a democrat. Which of the
two men is the more honorable?
Both were democratic office holders
under the same administration,
that of president Cleveland, the
one an editor of a democratic
paper, the other private citizen
only, and when the decree went
forth from Washington that office
holders would not be permitted to
take active part in politics, Mr..
Beda resigned an office worth
$4,000 year, that he might as
sist his democratic friends. Mr..
Macdonald held onto his office
worth $1,000 a year, and let his
friends shift for themselves. Yes,
their conception of "honor" is not
the same.
Furthermore, by what means
the Times possessed itself of the
private correspondence of Mr.. Bede,
the HERALD does not know. Did
it pix his pockets? Perhaps not
but it has sanctioned the pick
pocket policy by printing a private
letter which, in the very nature of
things never came into its posses
sion by honorable means. Pick
pocket politics is thoroughly hon
orable according to the Times code
of ethics. but consistency of prin-
ciple and devotion to friends is
@lshonorable. And the HERALD
reafflrms that Mr.. Bede is as good
a republican as its editor, and an
infinitely better democrat than the
editor of the Times is or was ever
capable of being.

PKCK-pOCKE EFT POLITICS.

The following from the St. Cloud
Times has been affording the
"boys' whole lot of fun, and
they are welcome to all there is N
it. The HERALD submits that it is
very good letter, considering,
and the advice timely and wise :
it was written last March:
The letter which is printed below
and which was sent by Chas. f. Hen
dryx to j. Adam Bede, foated into
the Times Office via the grape vine
mail from Manila, or some other for
eign strand. When we read it, We
laughed outright at the thought OF its
appearance in print, and we have nc
doubt the risibilities of our readers
will be similarly excited upon perus
ing it. It is too good to keep-fron

SAUK CENTRE, March 10, 1898.
My DEAR BeQe. l see IL Is lnG1tnateG
that you will speak before the Repub-
lican League at Minneapolis nexi
week. I believe it would be unwise
and destructive of your influence in
certain localities in this district, where
that influence is most needed. While
/ am forced TO acknowledge you are
just as good a republican as am, yet
you occupy a very unique position:
You have the democratic name of the
political disease, with all the distinc-
tive republican symptoms! Now, the
League is distinctively republican,
and you will be charged with going
over, name and all, to the symptoms.
BY doing that, you will, | believe,
weaken your influence with the Stearns
county democracy.
You asked me to advise you in case
anything occurred hence this letter.
Yours. CHAS. r. HENDRIX.

The Political Outlook In Mime
= - sofa.

Notwithstanding the prevailing
political lethargy in this state, it is
pretty safe to predict that Eustis. the
Republican candidate for govern or.
will be elected by from thirty to forty
thousand majority. He will probably
carry even that stronghold of Popu-
lism, the Seventh district. Minnesota
is likely this year, as in 1896, to send
solid Republican delegation to con-
gress, although the fusionists are put
ting up the biggest fight possible in
the Sixth and Seventh districts in the
eudeavor to defeat Morris and Eddy.
AS we have heretofore stated, they
have practically given up the test in
the other five districts and are bend
ing all their efforts to elect their men
in these closely contested districts.
But the Republican ranks in both
have been reinforced by considerable
accessions from the demoralised
camps of the Democrats and Populists,
and il the political Indifference and
inertia of the off year can be over
come and the Republicans can be
brought to the polls, both Morris and
Eddy will be elected by largely in
creased majorities. The only danger
is in the general political apathy,
arising from the feeling on the Repub-
lican side that victory is sure anyhow.
The Demo-Pop fusionists are taking
advantage of this over-confdent sense
Of security on the part of Republicans
by throwing all their energies into the
campaign in these two DISTRICTS. The
situation calls loudly for vigorous
campaign in both these districts-not
particularly to maks votes, but to get
them polled-to stir up the stagnant
waters and get the currents running to
the ballot boxes.-St. Paul Pioneer

TERMS Of PEACE GIVEN.
French Ambassador Has Re
ceiyed Peace Terms From
the United States
for Spain.
ARE SATISFACTORY TO HIN,
It Is Thought That Spain Will
Not Be Slow to Accept
These Terms

Washington, July 30. Spain can
have immediate peace if she accept
these general but emphatic terms,
which form the substance of the
note which was formally presented
to Ambassador Cambon this even
ing for transmission to the Madrid
government
Withdrawal by Spain Of her
forces and her sovereignty from
Cuba, the United States to eXer-
else control until stable govern
ment can be established,
Withdrawal of her forces and her
soverelgnity from Porto Rico aud
the absolute cession of these and
the minor Spanish West Indies to
the United States.
Acquiescence by Spain in the
permanent occupation by the
United States of Guam Island, in
the Ladrones, already in the pos.
session of the United States.
The United States to exercise
control over the city and bay OF
Manila and the immediate surround
ing territory, including Uayite,
until such time as the commission
ers appointed respectively by the
two countries to determine upon
the future disposition and govern
ment of the Philippines reach an
agreement which receives the rati-
fcation of the two governments,
the United States neither waving
claim to the whole of the Philippi
mes nor specifying the exact bound
ary limit of the territory she de-
sires to hold permanently,
The state paper embOdying these
general demands upon Spain is not
as long as it is important. 1t con-
tains about 1900 words. 1t is very
carefully drawn up, leaving no
doubt as to the meaning of the
president or as to what Spain must
do if she desires a cessation of hos
tilities.

YOUR LOCAL PAPER.

Hon. David Davis tells the truth
when he says: Each year every
local paper gives from 800 to
$500 in face lines for the benefit of
the community in which it is To-
Gated. No other agency can or
will do this. The local editor, in
proportion 10 his means, does more
for his town than any other ten
men, and in all fairness, man with
man, ought to be supported, not
because you happen to like or ad-
mire his writing, but because Il
local paper is the best inyest-
ment that a community can
possibly make. 1t might not be
brilliant or crowned with great
thoughts, but financially it is more
of a benefit to a community than a
preacher or teacher. Understand us
now, we do not mean morally or in
telectually, but financially, and
yet on the moral question you will
find the majority of the local
papers on the right side of the
question. Today the editors OF the
local papers do the most work for
the least money of any men on
earth. Subscribe for your local
paper, not for charity, but as an
investment.

MARKET DULL.
Wall Street Falls Into a State of
Ssmi-Stagnation.
Bulls and Bears Alike Afraid to Move
General Depression Attributed to
Cuban Complications.

New York, March 21.-The only fea-
ture discernible in today's stock market
was it's dullness This dullness was
the exact reflection, however, of doubt
and hesitation which prevail in all finan-
eial circles over the next probable de-
velopment in the Cuban question. APP
parently there was a limited volume Of
sales for foreign account which resulted
in sharp declines to practically the low
point of the day. There We're lower
prices made in some few stocks later in
the aimless drifting Of the market. Busi-
ness was, however, almost stagnant af-
ter the opening, and the close was a
sharp rally in prices, apparently due to
the rebuying Of stocks sold at the open
ing.
There was no spirit or animation in
the rally, and prices drifted downward
again at the close. There was only a
small volume Of stocks offering all day,
but the demand was almost nothing, and
the result is that prices are lower all
around, losses reaching point in some
of the leading specialties. There is ev-
cry indication of large outstanding short
interest in the market, but in the pres
outlook, this interest is very persistent
in declining to cover.
The prospect of further developments
in the Cuban question keeps purchasers
out of the market, and on the
other hand, the short contracts
and the large short interest make
the bears proceed with caution.
The consequence is semi-stagna-
ton, such as was witnessed to-
day. Such selling as occurred was at
tributed TO Washington account, and
there was some selling also by large in
dividual operators. London was a sell
er, but not to a large extent. The list
of stocks and bonds that moved at all
was comparatively short, the market
being very narrow.
Foreign exchange stiffened slightly
today, and no engagement was an
nounced of gold for import.
Discounts in London and Berlin were
reported slightly easier. The outlook
here favors easier money on account of
the gold importations already arrived
or on the way. Banks are not yet dis
posed to make time loans, and great
caution in the buying Of commercial pa
per is also manifest.
The bond market was on correspond
ing scale of dullness with stocks, and
prices were lower. Total sales, $780,,

journalistic enterprise, been so quick to
wrest from nature the secrets of unknown
scenes and unexplored regions, picturing
them with absolute truth, so that all peo-
