Mr.. Eustis, Manufactures.

William Henry Eustis was in our
midst Monday night. He moved very
rapidly in a carriage from one point
to another, and yet not so swiftly as
tc elude The G o b e's bright young
men, who were instructed to quote
him accurately, but above all things to
quote him. Here are some of the scin-
tillations of wisdom and possibly wit
from the man who is running for gov
ernor on the Republican Plunderbund
ticket:
Il have a stenographer, and when it
was reported that I was a Swede hater
I turned to her and asked her ma
tionality.
Il am Swede, she said.
"'And do 1 hate your I asked her
And she said she hoped not
Then he added, after pause: Don
nelly didn't hate his stenographer.
Whereat there was first silence, then
feeble applause.
Having disposed thus of this impor-
tant state issue he turned his atten-
ton to another state issue, imperial
expansion.
God" he said, sis now in Paris,
and He is with the Republican party,
and He will direct the voters who are
now at the fork of the roads. God has
decreed that the boundary of our great
republic shall be on the east the sun
rise, on the north the aurora borealis,
on the south the Southern Cross, on
the west the day Of judgment"
Now, how serious, how striking are
these declarations of the candidate for
governor in one of the most intelligent
states of the Union
Mr.. Eustis may not hate his type
writer, but in an affidavit printed in
yesterdays G 0 b e he is quoted as
in substance saying he hates the Scan
dinavians. But whether he does or
whether he doesn't, what has that to
dc with the Guaranty Loan, the hos
pital site, the old soldiers, the farmers,
the bank depositors, the fate of the
missing Menage, if you please, in whom
the people of Minnesota are deeply
very deeply interested?
Again said Mr.. Eustis: when Cleve-
land went into office there were TWEEN
ty-three banks in Minneapolis, and
when he went out there were ten
And what had Cleveland to do with
! these banks, pray? Was Kenyon, the
Honest, honestly attending to his bust
ness? Would there have been any such
wreckage as Mr.. Eustis describes if he
had been?-

The Minnesota Federation.

The fourth annual convention of the
Minnesota Federation of Women's
Clubs which was held last week in
Wnora, gives occasion to stop and
consider what the motive of this and
similar organizations is and what prog
ress this one has made in the last five
years.
1t is said that declarations were eff
fected III order that results and meth
DDS of clubs might be compared, and
that the members might, by full and
free discussion, discover the best meth
DDS of applying the results of their la
Dor to the betterment of social, econom-
ic and educational conditions. Judged
by this standard, how does the conven-
ton of Minnesota club women fare?
Did it's members succeed in bringing
the intent of declarations into effect
Did they compare methods, measure
results, or attempt to apply them to
the vital questions of state and nation?
Finally, were they free from the petit
ness and personalities which have
made so many women's conventions
objects of derision and contempt?
These questions. truly answered, will
q L
During the Winona convention the
travelling library, the educational and
art interchange committees, by passing
printed matter through its audience,
besought the united support of the
state organization in their efforts, and
indicated how it could be given A
circular letter of the same nature on
Improvement work, signed by the
president and Improvement work COM
mittee, was given out, but there was
no discussion of it during the con-
vention. With this exception no at
tempt was made to sum up results, to
compare methods or to unity efforts,
and to this extent the session failed to
realize the objects Of declarations. There
were many papers, we'll written and
instructive, but with one or two excep-
tons they should have been consider
ably contracted and read before indi-
vidual clubs, not before a federation
To road for twenty or thirty minutes
a compilation OF material on a physio-
logical historical or literary subject
may be instructive, but it is an in
struction which can be obtained as
we'll, if not better, in the home club.
Were not the delegates to the Illinois
federation better compensated in the
open discussion of state and national
the federation toward them? Did not
the members go away with d definite
working principle for the year? Did
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-11-02

Minnesota club women fare as well in
this respect?
But that in which the women of our
state were not excelled by any club
women outside; that which WAS mai
ter Of pride and congratulatlon
throughout the whole session, was the
total absence of womanish pettiness
and personalities. The dignity and per-
feet equilibrium were certainly a re-
freshing contrast to the scenes which
have made women's conventions
throughout the land objects of derision
and contempt. The electioneering tao
tics of small faction was the only in
cident which occurred to mar this
pleasure. Even then there was nothing
which could be interpreted as person
alities, but, as Miss Evans said in her
address, sit had always been the sense
of the federation that anyone who
sought office was by that very act I'M
qualified for it, and it was a matter
of keen regret that electioneering tao
tics should have been employed at

Why Lind Was Beaten.
ST. Paul Globe,

To The ST. Paul Globe:
AS 1 not a resident of Minnesota two
years ago I do not know what kind of a
with his known honesty, his clean personal
record and his unCuestioned ability, I can
not understand how he happened to be turned
down by the voters of Minnesota. Can you
explain why 1t was2 F. A. M.
Yes. During the last campaign the
Dispatch gave birth to a campaign lie
to the effect that Mr.. Lind was an
atheist. 1t was circulated far and wida
and accepted as true by many Of the
voters of Minnesota. especially among
the Scardinavians, who abhor atheism.
The insidious and persistent circulation
Of the lie cost Mr. Lind more than
enough votes to elect him. Mr.. Lind
brought an action for libel against the
Dispatch, and the fact that it was a
campaign SANDER was proven in the
trial. The jury awarded Mr.. Lind a.
verdict for $500. The smirch on his
good name was wiped out, and those
who had cast their votes against him
were sorry they had done so. This is
the first time they have since had a.
chance to rectify the injustice, and
they are going to do 1t.

Tears, Idle Tears.

"Cervantes smiled SPANS chivaIry
away" and William Henry Eustis, con,
scious of the value OF facial expression,
proposes to weep himself into the of.
flee Of governor of Minnesota. He came
over to st. Paul the other evening to
fill a number of engagements that had
been made for him by thoughtful and
foresighted committee. Fortunately the
arrangements provided for some rapid
changes OF scene, for, had the fearful
William devoted his moist efforts all
to one audience, he might have had ey-
erythirg afioat before the close Of the
meeting. AS it was he meistened the
floor of c. S. P. S. hall, dropped briny
tears on the platform of the room or
East Seventh street and waterlogged a
part of the Sixth ward.
This is truly an inspiring campaign.
It is full of war and rumors of war:
it bristles with invective, argument and
oratory; but it remained for the Guar.
anty Loan candidate to dedicate it in
tears. This thing Of candidate going

the subject, / am sure that when the
purport Of the amendment is thoroughly I'M
derstood no intelligent citizen would want to
vote for 1T. The amendment has reference
TO the adoption of future amendments to the
constitution. and the purport OF it is that
every voter who does not vote an amend
ment at all is to be counted as voting against
1t, so If this amendment should pass no
constitutional amendment could thereafter be
adopted unless a majority of all the electors
of the state had voted in favor of it, even
If not single vote had been cast against it.
Experience has shown us that great num-
Der of the electors Of the state refrain from
voting on the amendments, either because
they don't understand them or from lack Of
interest or for other reasons. Last election,
for instance there was 349,3 votes cast in
this state. The average vote cast on the
different amendments was less than 100 600.
If the les, coo who did not vote at all on these
amendments should have been counted as vor-
ing against Them every one can readily see
what the result would have been.
If the amendment mentioned should be
adopted, the result would simply be that we
hereafter would go without amendments to
our constitution. however sadly they might
be needed
l think you will do favor to the people
at large by calling their attention to this
pernicous amendment, urging them to vote
1T down. Most truly yours, j. w. A
