MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.

John Lind has written a letter to a
Minneapolis admirer in which he says
that if the war stops he may come
home and take hand in the campaign.
II have more confidence in. the situa-
ton than I had two years ago." he
writes. Is this possible? Two years
ago Lind was cock sure of election, and
so were his friends. The opposition
forces in Minnesota have never been
so sure of victory as they were then
How can Mr.. Lind shave more conf
dence in the situation than he had two
years ago.? With silver dead, with
the Republican party in the midst of
a highly successful and satisfactory
national administration, with the war
feeling making friends for it in every
voting precinct with absolutely nothing
upon which the opposition can go be-
fore the people and make an appeal for
a change of leaders, how does Mr.. Lind
figure out that he has more confidence
now than he had in 1896? Talk is
cheap. J. IN minneapolis JOURNAL

GEN. ALGER has called Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt down because that Of
ticer notified the department that our
troops in Santiago would die like
sheep with the murrain if left in the
malarial districts surrounding the cap
tured city. In the meanwhile the war
department has been forced to do the
very things recommended by Col.
Roosevelt, and it would appear that
Gen. Alger's grievance against the
colonel of the rough riders grew out of
the fact that the secretary of war
didn't know his duty until his atten-
ton was directed to it by the subor-
dinate officer. And Gen. Alger is the
man who has been a candidate for
president ever since the sun rose the
first time over the Eastern, shore of
Lake La Michigan. Another evidence
that the Republican party seldom
makes really serious mistake in the
choice OF presidential candidates.

IF the peace negotiations are
promptly arranged there should be no
delay in shutting off some of the heav-
Ter items of expense in the army and
navy. 1t will undoubtedly be neces-
sary to have very largely increased
standing army, and much larger
navy, but the government will have to
devise some other means for its sup
port than the present system of rev
enues. There will be several hundred
millions of war debt, and this we
had"eSpected Spain to pay, but If We
take territory instead of money we
should manage some way to get our in
demnity out of the territory. The
revenues Of Cuba and Porto Rico would
soon pay the bill if they were levied
upon, but that is hardly feasible under
the circumstances. This is where the
statesmen of the hour have chance
to earn day wages. .

The St., Cloud Times comments on
the item in last weeks UNION, which
said that Sampson twas at work with
a slate and pencil figuring up his prize
money! in the following neat and
poetic languages:
Now, what is the use of lying like that? Why
should pencil pushers seated comfortably in
their 6x8 sanctums, away from danger or dis
comfort, send out such dirty filings at the gall
liant officers of our navy, who have won honor
and fame for the nation?
When was it that Sampson won so
much honor and fame for the nation?
Was it when he was ordered to find
Cervera and destroy his feet. but in
stead of that went to San Juan and
BON barded the place without author
ity, losing several men? Was it when
he hurried to Santiago and took charge
of matters as soon as he heard that
Schley had Cervera blockaded? Was
it when he steamed in after Cervera's
fleet had been destroyed and received
the prisoners of war and then sent his
famous dispatch about 1.-The squadron
under my commando" Or was it when
he was ordered to furnish Gen. Miles
with a naval escort, but failed to do
so until he received a peremptory order
from the president? If in none of these
instances perhaps the Times, with it's
fuency of language, will tell us when
it was that Sampson ''won honor and

GEN. MILES got the best assignment
in the campaign. His victorious
march through Porto Rico is just one
uninterrupted carnival Of flag raisings
and picnicing, with not Spaniard to
say him nay. Not that Miles has not
the men and the will to fight, but the
Spaniards have learned a lesson from
the incidents at Santiago, and would
rather run mile than fight a minute.
