James H. McClintock in his weekly letter to the Los Angeles Herald, says that E. k. Ellinwood is making an active canvas for the democratic nomination for delegate to congress. MT. Ellinwood is the brightest young lawyer in Arizona and would, if elected, represent the territory in the halls of congress as it has never been represented be- fore. He is an earnest advocate of the silver cause and his friends rep resent the rank and file of the sill yer element of the territory.

An Awakeniag.'

The impending difficulty be. tween the United States and the Kingdom of Spain, which, in the event of certain facts being estab- lished as to the cause of the ex- plosion of the battleship Name in the harbor of Havana, may lead to war, will at least serve one useful purpose. Attention has been called by it in very pointed manner to the naval weakness and deficient coast defense system of this coun- try. For the first time the people have been made aware of the fact that as a naval power we are scarce ly able to hold our own with any first-class nation in the world, while it is apparent to even most super ficial observer that many of our largest cities are practically unable to defend themselves against the onslaught of a first class man-of- war.
 For over ten years now Congress has been engaged in desperate at- tempt to build a navy. It's efforts have been thwarted to some extent by demagogues and conservatives, the latter protesting against the ex- penditure of money for such a use less thing as a warship, and the former charging everybody with corruption who secures a contract for the construction of a vessel. Now that we are face to face with foreign difficulty which may lead to war, there ought to be general awakening of the people. Every nation having an extensive seaboard is compelled to defend it. Exper- fence has proved that it will not do to rely upon arbitration or the peaceful disposition of warlike neighbors.
 Human nature is so constituted that it does not scruple to take ad- vantage of every weakness. Men are selfish, and they despoll each other without hesitation. The great est protection to peaceful nat on having an extensive seaboard is a perfect system of coast defense and big navy. Of course, it costs something to maintain these things, but it is costly to maintain gov ernment organization anyhow. Peo- pie practice poor economy who do not make ample preparations to de- fend themselves, their lives and property from the predatory dispo- sitions of their neighbors.
 It is extremely unlikely that war with Spain will ensue. One good reason for this belief is the fact that Spain is unable to carry on any more wars. But if the Maine explosion shall result in de- veloping our national defense, the men who died in Havana harbor will not have sacrificed their lives in vain.-San Francisco Post.

LEFT THE BABE TO DIE.
Sheriff Mcdonald Tells of the Crime
and Capture of David KirkstrOm
and Blanche Parry.

Sheriff Sandy Mcdonald. Of Blue
Earth county, who took Blanche Parry
and David Kirkstrom back from Hud-
son, Wis, to the Jail in Faribauit
Saturday, where they are held on a
charge of assault in the first degree.
was at the capital yesterday and filed
his bill for the expenses of the trip.
Kirkstrom is the step-father to Miss
Parry. and previous to four months
ago they lived in Hudson, S. d. Miss
Parry is only seventeen years of age.
Shortly after moving to Faribault
county Miss Parry gave birth to baby
girl. Kirkstrom is accused of her ruin.
On the night of March 10, which was
a cold one, the couple secured a team
seven miles east Of Blue Earth City
with the five-weeks-old infant.
They stopped on the premises of Ell
len T. Ellingson, and left the baby girl
on a pile of straw in a cow pen.
The couple then proceeded to Wells,
Mimi, where they took the train for
Hudson.
The morning following the couples
trip across the country. when Farmer
Ellingson went to his barn-yard he dis
covered the baby. Both of it's feet and
hands were frozen.
Mr. Ellingson took the baby home
and saved the child's life.
Sheriff Mcdonald was at once mott
fed. He Immediately offered a reward
of $1o0 for any information which would
lead to the arrest of the guilty parties,
or to their identity. Notices of the
reward were posted throughout the
county.
1t was several days before any clew
was discovered as to the identity of
the child.
Neighbors living in the vicinity Of
the Ellingson farm had seen Kirkstrom
and Miss Parry drive past that after
noon and from that clew the couple
were traced to South Dakota.
The pair will remain in the county
Jail to await the action of the grand
jury in June.
Sheriff Mcdonald says sympathy
seems to have gone out to Miss Parry
who. it is believed, was frightened by
her stepfather into parting with her
offspring.

TO ABROCATE THE TREATY
WOULD BUILD WARSHIPS ON
THE GREAT LAKES
Move to This End Mt Milwaukee.
and the Other Western Cities VIII
Be Asked to Come Into Line
One of Uncle Sans Hands Tied
Under the Arrangement as 1t
Now Exists.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March ga
movement was started today trending
toward the obrogating of the treaty of
1918, between the United States and
Great Britain, which stands in the way
Of the United States Strengthening her
navy by being allowed to build gun
boats, torpedo boats, monitors and tor
pedo boat catchers at the ship yards
of the Great Lakes.
Steps have already been taken look
Ing to action by congress annulling the
treaty.
The Milwaukee Journal prints an ed;-
torial today pointing out the advan-
tages to be gained by this country by
such change of policy; that there is
little danger that there ever will be
war between Great Britain and the
United States, and even if such a de-
plorable thing should come to pass
both countries could be on an equal
footing on the boundary then the same
as now.
The treaty, the editorial says, ties one
of Uncle Sans hands in case of
naval war with any other power. The
Journal advocates the abrOgation of the
Gripping provision of the treaty so that
Uncle Sam will have a chance to use
all his bone and sinew in case of neces-
city, necessity that may some day be
dire.
In an interview with a Journal re-
porter today a prominent ship builder
of this city made mention of the vari-
Gus ship building resources on the
Great Lakes, noting what a great fac
tor they would be in case of war.
Among those which may be named
are the Chicago Ship Building COM
pany, of Chicago; the F. w. Wheeler
company. of Bay City; the Detroit Dry
Dock company, of Detroit; the Cleve-
land Ship Building company, of Cleve-
land: the Globe Iron Works, of Cleve-
land; the Union Dry Dock company, of
Buffalo, the American Steel Barge COM
pany. Of Duluth, and the Milwaukee
Dry Dock company.
1t is understood that the different
chambers of commerce at all cities on
the Great Lakes will do all in their
power to further the movement.

DOES SKILLFUL WORK.
ST. PauPs Daring Office Burglar Ex-
tends His Operations to Some of
the Local Railroad Offices.

The daring Office burglar who has
been playing havoc in the large down
town buildings, has extended his OPP
erationS to the railroad general offices.
Sunday night Of last week the robber
entered the Omaha building Fourth
and Rosabel streets. and Monday night
broke into the Northern Pacific office.
The burglar secured an entrance to
the Omaha office through a window
opening on rear alley. and thorough
ly ransacked the office of General Pas
senger Agent McRae. Desks were
broken open and drawers forced out
Of place, but only a small number of
postage stamps secured.
The desire for valuable booty only
on the part of the burglar is evidenced
in all his operations, as papers and
other office paraphernalia are never
disturbed more than is necessary for
a thorough search, while the recep-
tacles which are forced are broken
open skillfully. with little damage ex-
cept to the locks.
After searching Mr.. McRae's office
the burglar effected an entrance to the
Omaha treasurer's office, where he
went through every desk and drawer.
Here also he secured a sum in sheet
postage stamps but spurned a num-
Der of detached "stickers."
The enterprising thief confined his
search of the Northern Pacific build
ing to the offices of the assistant sec
rotary, Room PIP. and the apartments
of the legal department, Room 211.
In the secretary's office his reward was
but 81 worth of postage stamps, while
nothing was missed from the legal de-
partment, though the burglars visit
was easily apparent from the broken
desks.
Nearly every door which the robber
has opened has been provided with a
Yale lock, and the ease with which he
forces these safeguards leads the au-
thorities to hold him dangerous in
diVidual.

TRAINING NOT ESSENTIAL.
Sunday School Teachers Who Love
Their Work Do Not Require Amy
Other Qualifications.

Trained Teachers" was the subject
for the table talk of the meeting of the
Sunday School Superintendent union
held last evening in the parlOrs Of
First Baptist church.
The general conclusion reached by
the majority present was that the
training e teachers was not essential
If they had a sincere love for the work
and 4 knowledge of the Bible. Follow
ing the supper the address of the even
ing was made by Hugh Cork, state
superintendent, who gave a review of
the religious census made in Mime
apolis last fall. 1t is the desire of
many of the ministers of the city to
carry out the same plan in st. Paul.
and Mr.. Cork offered his personal serv-
ices.
1t was decided to hold a number of
district rallies May 80. 1t has been
found inadvisable to hold one central
rally. as many of the children have
not the car fare with which to attend,
and for other reasons the distance from
their church to the place of meeting
keeps many of them away. So several
district rallies will be held instead. The
state convention will be held May II
To 10 in Minneapolis.
Mrs. T. S. Tompkins. of the Wood
land Park Sunday school. gave the
model lesson on the "Beheading of John
the Baptist" This. she said, should
never have been selected as a lesson
for children, as it is against two of the
fundamental principals CT kindergarten
teaching. First, not to present to the
'chiids mind any evil not there already.
Second, not to present to the child any
thing Of morbid or horrible nature
But she hoped to be able to give the
lesson without bringing out either Of
these ideas, and she succeeded excel
lently.
There were 100 guests present at the
supper, the tables being in charge of
the women of the church. One pretty
feature of the table decorations were
the wards IS. S. Union" made in ba-
nanas laid on the snowy white cloths
The floral decorations were hyacinths.

boats are now uniform and look much
smaller.
Even the guns are painted the pre-
vailing dull lead color. and it is difficult
at any distance to locate their posi-
ton. Commodore Schfey has not re
ceived definite orders as to any future
movements of the squadron, but will
be prepared within forty-eight hours
to go anywhere. While ne is a con-
servative officer, it is a we'll known fact
that officers quoted as saying prior to
his assuming command that he would
like nothing better than to receive or
ders to intercept the Spanish torpedo
boat f1otilla.

When that meeting was called 1

it made very little difference with me

Yes, L knew that there was to be
meeting, and l never dreamed that
it would amount to more than hill of

of those fellows down there want to
fight, why, let them fight it out among
themselves. The meeting was farce
and failure and Mr.. Van SAINTS
friends, through the state, took it for
what it was worth.
Some of these fellows make me
weary, who are always kicking when
they haven't anything to kick about
They don't know any more about my
policy than the Fiji islanders do about
the blowing up of the Maine.
Since l have been governor I have
always tried to please everybody, but
l will not be dictated to by any Clique
of politicians or individuals on any
matters whatever and / want some of
these fellows to remember it.
why, l did not so out Of my office
on the day of the Mankato meeting,
that shows you how much I cared
about it. 1 don't think Mr.. Van SAINT
cared any more about that meeting
than / did, and that was precious lit

Yes, l have seen some of the car
toons in the papers, but it has only
strengthened my opinion that the meet
