Congressman j. T. McCleary,
in an interview the other day in
Washington with a Minneapolis
Journal man said:
"The outlook for Republican
success in the state is excellent.
The state ticket gives general sat
isfaction, for it is composed OF
men of high character. Most of
the candidates are well.known,
and each will bring strength to the
list. No state ticket in recent
years has contained so many men
who are good campaigners. The
three new men have distinguished
themselves in this respect
"At the head of the list stands
our candidate for governor, Mr..
Eustis. He has for many years
spoken with telling effect in all
parts Of the state, and is a fayorite
everywhere. Our candidate for
acknowledgement, Lyndon A.
Smith, while not so we'll known,
is very we'll thought Of where he
is known. He has for years been
one of the most effective campaign
speakers Of his section of the state.
Our candidate for attorney general,
w. B. Douglas, of Moorhead, is
recognized as one of the best cam
paign speakers in the Red river
valley, . RI.
1T is too early in the campaign
to give figures, but I have no
doubt that we will elect our candi.
dates by : good margin. Mime
sofa is proud Of the fact that she
has always gone Republican and
her splendid record will not be
broken in this electlon. There is
not the slightest doubt IN my mind
that she will return . solid Re-
publican delegation to congress. !"

President as Viewed
Abroad. - ,.,, \

II Abroad. s7 -,
Foreign public opinion .oi
President Mckinley seems to be
not unlike that in the United
States. Europe, at first not fa-
forably impressed, has had to
change its opinion Of Mckinley,
just as it had to change its esti-
mate Of Lincoln. p.
In time of war the president OF
the United States has extarordi-
nary powers. No European
monarch, unless it be the Gear OF
Russia, has greater powers. How
ever we'll a weak president may get
along with the routine duties of
his Office, in time Of war he
shrivels into magnificance when
he faces the powers aud response
blitles that war gives him.
Europe has learned again that
when the giant republic strips
for war the weaknesses in erent
in the representative system of
government are thrown off. The
president has 1T his absolute CON-
mand the whole of the military
strength and capacities of a ma
tion of 100000. There is no
more congressional dilly-dallying
as in time Of peace. Congress
acts, authorizes and agrees to pay
for the war. The president then
wages the war.
President Mckinley has shown
himself to be both a great com.
mander and great statesman.
At Santiago and elsewhere his
frmness, has prevailed over ,vacil-
lating generals in the field. His
division of the peace negotiations
into two parts-the Philippines
and the Antilles--was a master
stroke. Sagasta doubtless hoped
to unmask the American inten-
tions with respect to the Philip
pines when he sued for peace. IF
they INVOLVED the cession Of those
islands to America it was not in
possible that other European
powers would have warned the
United States not to insist on.
taking the Philippines.
But the president demanded the
cession of the Spanish West In
dies as the first step to peace ne
gotiations in which the fate of the
Philippines would be settled. ..
If. now, any European power
objects to our Philippine terms,
we can concentrate our attention
and strength in that quarter of the
world. For Cuba and Porto Rico
are already wrenched from Spain.
Europe respects a great diplom-
atist fully as much as it does a
great soldier. It sees in the con-
duct of peace negotiations the
work of master. It understands
that having great presidents the
United States will clinch the vic
tories Of diplomacy, but of d.
plomacy which looks only to great
and sets no value
on the further humiliation of a
conquered foe; diplomacy which
is being successful does not fall to
be magnanimous. Minneapolis

THE PEACE COMMISSION


Washington dispatches on Mon
day indicated that the peace com
mission to be appointed by the
president would consist Of Secre-
tary of State Day, Senator Davis
ofMinnesota, Senator Allison Of
Iowa, ex-Secretary Tracy of New
York and Senator German Of
Maryland. The names will prob
ably soon be announced, and they
will meet with the Spanish com.
mission at Paris.
The protocol settled matters, as
it was conceded by SPAN that
Cuba should be free,' and that
Porto Rico and the other West
India possessions should be coded
to the United States. The real
problem to be settled BY the com
mission is the disposition of the
'Philippine islands,: And it is a
pee u1iar fact that the United
States has: .no clear plan yet as to
what it wants to do with these is.
lands. There is an apparently
general desiveIfor the retention of
a cosling station there, but neither
the administration or the people
have clear ideas in advance Of that
position This general doubt is
owing to lack of knowledge as to
the condition at Manila and the
sentiment of the natives. If those
millions Of natives are determined
to continually oppose United
States rule, the American people
would hesitate about attempting
to control them. The Consent
of the governed" principle is still
rather strong as sentiment in the
United States. The people of
Hawaii and Porto Rico have ap.
parently welcomed our authority.
In the Philippines there has been
some friction between Dewey and
'Aguinaldo. It is natural that the
Filipinos should prefer independ-
ence OFFS both America and Spain.
But there is no certainty that
their independence would last long
considering the agressions Of
many European powers. Realizing
that, it's doubtful if the commission
will have any plans for theindepend.
ence Of the islands. If, then, it
comes to the question of which of
the nations engaged in the late
war shall attempt to rule the Phil
ippines, the attitude of the natives
will have great influence in deter.
mining it. If they resist the rule
of the United States under the
conditions, they are not badly
wanted.
The peace commission will con.
sist of men very closely in sym.
pathy with President Mckinley,
and the views of the president will
doubtless have great. influence on
their demands. He has so far
shown excellent judgmentin deter.
mining the right course regarding
the islands in the Atlantic and
Pacific, and his position will have
much weight with the commission
and the country.
