So you see that the Repu blican
State convention Of 1893 declares
that the party had formerly been
e n gagged in omulgating
schemes Of questionable merit.
The politicians still ferce]ymain-
tain that the party stands where
it always stood, but all persons
not party-blind realize that it
does not. Those who believe
in the old style Of republicanism
have no room in the party any
more.

c. K. Davis.

-v -: '~Efx
Years ago Cushmant K, Davis
was popular man in. Minnesota
among the common people. He
won that popularity by preaching
what is now known as populism.
In a lecture which he delivered
throughout the state, entitled
Modern Feudalism'' he >scath-
ingly denounced the usurpation
of political power by the mighty
corporations. The people of
Minnesota Loyalty supported him
in many political battles. until fl
nally he reached the highest Of
fee the people of a state can be-
stow - United States senator.
Great things were expected of
Davis. He possessed bri}liancy,
ability and eloquence, and it was
expected that he would use his
powers in the interests of the
peoples cause he had espoused
at home. But his people waited
in vain six long years. He was
reelected, but so close was the
contest that he had not a vote to
spare. Then came on the great
railroad strike. This was surely
his opportunity-would he i'm
prove it? Yes, he spoke, but
what a disappointment His elo-
quent speech was applauded in
every Office of a corporations trust
in the country, at the same time
that it chilled the hearts of his
friends among the farmers and
laborers of Minnesota who real
lied that he had turned traitor to
his earlier convictions. Since
that time he has added to his
new record as a friend of the
corporations by becoming the
attorney and counselor for some
OF them in cases in which the
interests of the people were op-
posed. A notable instance was
Hills scheme of consolidating
the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, which he espoused.
G. K. Davis is politically dead in
Minnesota, and his endorsement
by the republican state conven-
ton will prove handicap to ev-
cry republican candidate for the
legislature this fall. The follow
ing, written by Mr.. Davis him
self about 25 years ago, comes
back at him now with striking
force:
''Feudalism has ceased to exist
as a power, but it's spirit is not
dead. It has passed into new
and more subtle forms. It is not

ment, as diffused evil. It is in
the modern corporation. This is
the institution which changes the
relation of things, until the state
the nation-is but it's slave.
: ''The spirit of feudalism walks
the earth and haunts the institu-
tions of today in the great money

A NOVEL REGULARITY.

: The Sioux, City Journal remarks
anent the troubles in the New Eng
land cotton mills, that a novel pecu
liarity is presented there.
The striking operators are largely
foreigners. Fall River. for instance
has population of about 100000, OF
whom 10000 are English, $4,000 are
French Canadians.sand $4,000 are
Portuguese. The remainder are
Americans, but few of them work ia
the mills, the majority preferring to
engage in business for themselves.
The Cheap labor which has been
the means of reduction of their
wages and the cause Of their strike
are native born Americans, and white
at that. The southern factory hands
are the same sort Of people that filled
the northern mills thirty years ago.
They are from surrounding farms.
They lack neither Intelligence nor
strength, though their skill in the
management of delicate machinery is
not great. Wages at the south are
less than at the north by about Is per
cent, but the cost of living at the
south is less. The New England mills
are run with more attention to minor
details and less waste. They have
also better market facilities, especial.
ly for goods of the finer grade, and for
this reason and because of superior
skill, coming from long habit, southern
competition has heretofore been felt
chiefly IN coarse and cheap fabrics.
The southern mill hands have begun
to organize, however, and the absence
of labor laws, which have fostered the
industry in the south, are not likely
to continue indefinitely.

be sound, for if memory serves us
right, this country had to settle with
Italy for the men who lost their lives
in the New Orleans lynching few
years ago, and also with China for the
death Of several Cinnamon. at the
hands of mob in the west. It would
seem queer indeed if government is
not to be held responsible for the acts
of it's citizens, and to layman it
would seem that it would involve ma
tions in greater turmoil than would
the view Mr.. Lincoln takes of it,
though that may prove to be the
strictly legal view of the matter. In
the meantime the nation will await
with intense interest the report of the
board of inquiry which will settle the
question as to whether the affair was
result Of an accident or that of
treachery.

NO PRECEDENT FORT.

Some of the lawyers who are
familiar with international law have
been discussing the matter of SPANS
liability in case the Maine was blown
up by a submarine mine. There is
no precedent of war vessel being
blown up in fortified harbor in time
of peace, but all unite in the opinion
that if such an explosion was by
design it would be cause for war. But
there seems to be an opinion, among
some at least, that a nation cannot be
held responsible for the acts Of her
individual citizens. Robt. T. Lincoln,
secretary of war under PresidentsGar-
field and Arthur is said to have ex-
pressed the opinion that should it be
proved that the Maine was blown up
by Spanish fanatic, Spain could not
be burdened by any loyal response
bility in the affair.". He says that it is
an elementary principle of interna-
tional law, that government is in no
way responsible for the acts or private
citizens. That if it were not so, COM
plications would be arising continual
ly, which would keep nations in tur-
MOL and arbitrating continually. II
this position is we'll taken, it will be
a startling one to the people of this
country But exceptions seem to be
taken to it, and exceptions that seem
just and reasonable. The Chicago
Inter Ocean gives view holding that
a nation is responsible for the acts of
it's citizens in their conduct toward
other nations, and that if it should be
proved that some fanatic follower of
Weyler set off the mine that destroy
ed the Maine, Spain could be held &C.
countable for it. This would seem to

CORN.

The holding OF corn, convention
such as has just taken place in Chica
go illustrates the progress corn Is max
ing as an article of food. 1t has long
been known in this country as most
valuable product, but until recently
little has been said regarding it, and
people generally, while using it to
some extent, looked upon it mainly as
coarse farm product to be used
largely as a. food for animals. But
with the efforts of Jerry Rusk, while
at the head of the agricultural de-
partment under President Harrison,
corn has been making steady Roadway
as an article of food for man, and to-
day is better known and better ap-
preciated than ever before. Consid-
cradle of the prejudice that has exist
ed against it as an article of food
abroad has been overcome and it's ex-
port is steadily increasing "Corn. F"
says the ST. Louis Globe Democrat,
lis nutritious, compact IN bulk, easily
transported, and one of the least per-
ishable Of .foodstuffs. 1t contains in
itself the elements that will sustain
life for an indefinite period. In this
age of rapid commercial communica-
ton there should be no famines as
long as,such a large surplus Of corn is
available. Doubtless the corn conven-
tion which has just recently been in
session, will start asgood work in fur
ther helping to popularize corn as an
article of food and the continuing Of
the work in asjudicious manner will
be great thing for the corn produc-
ing region. The foreign export Of
corn as we have said is steadily in
creasing, and last year reached fig
ure far beyond any previous record.
It's crop in bushels measures five times
as much as our wheat crop and is
grown on nearly all American farms.
Thus it will he seen that anything
that can be done IN behalf of corn in
the way of enlarging it's consumption
will be of direct benefit to the Ameri-
can farmers as whole and the work
of the corn convention desires the
hearty cooperation of all.

few, who in accordance Herewith
each remitted a small sum for that

then a leading and honored citizen of
Mankato, who upon IT quest had con-
sented to act as custodian Of the fund.

Americans Advised to Leave
Havana by Gen.
Lee.
Possibility That Gen. Lee May
Come Home With Court OF
Inquiry Saturday.

The copyright service of James Cor
don Bennett to the ST. Paul Pioneer
Press, contains information Wednes'
day that looks decidedly war-like. Ii
says that many Americans left Ha'
yana the 22nd for Key West as
the result of advice given by Consul
General Lee. Within the next week
it is expected that the colony will be
deserted, as there is general beilef
that war cannot long be delayed and
is a certainty in the immediate future.
1t is thought that Gen. Lee will leave
the city with the members OF the
court of inquiry, who are expected to
depart on Saturday. While nothing
official has been given out it is said
on high authority that the experts
here are convinced that the destruct-
ion of the Maine was the work of a
Spanish fanatic. When the news of
this report becomes public riot is to
be looked for which probably
would become a massacre if Lees ad-
vice were disregarded.
The same course of information says
that an order has been received at the
United States embassy in London
ordering all officers of the United
States navy at present in
England on leave to rejoin their ships
at once. Lieutenant Bradford Jones
and Lieutenant commander Williams
who arrived in England with their
families few days ago to spend sew
eral months in Europe, sail for home
Friday.

OF course Spain is interested in the
inquiry in the Main disaster. Why
shouldn't she he. 1t means much to
her. II it was not an accident, but a
submarine mine that sent the Maine
and it's brave boys to the bottom, as
the indications now strongly point,
Spain will have to let 60 of Cuba

demnify the families of the men who
lost their lives, or fight. 1t is not to
be wondered at that Spain is troubled
with nervous chills. The blow-up is

AN INDEMNITY WILL BE
ASKED.

The view of Robt. Lincoln and some
other lawyers that Spain cannot be
held responsible for the wrecking Of
the Maine, even though it may, be
proved that it was the result of sub
marine mine.is not likely to cut much
weight with the government at Wash
ington. 1t is said from Washington
that it has been learned that Presi-
dent Mckinley has in view the trans
hitting OF strong message to con-
gress Immediately upon the report of
the court of inquiry, and that among
other things, should it be found the
explosion was the work of treachery,
he will ask that Spain indemnify this
country from S13, 600, 900 to SIS, 900, 900,
of which amount s5,OOO,OOO will be for
the loss of the battleship and the re-
mainder will be divided among the
families of the men and officers who
lost their lives on the Inflated vessel.
What his attitude toward Cuba will
be is not suggested, but doubtless
nothing less than its evacuation by
the Spanish, or at least the immediate
termination of the war, which would
virtually amount to the same thing,
would be demanded. On the other
hand, should the investigation show
the wreck to have been an accident,
there has been no suggestion as to what
course would be pursued either by the
administration or congress, probably
for the reason that the indications
point so strongly to treachery.
