CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Republican committee of the
Sixth district met in st. Cloud last
week and decided to hold the con-
gressional convention in AnOka, at
date yet to be designated by the
chairman of the committee, L. M.
Wlllcuts of Duluth. The members
of the committee were of unani-
nous opinion that Congressman
Morris would meet with no oppo-
sition in convention; but that re-
nomination would be a corded him
without the least protest from any
quarter. This is as it should be.
Mr.. Morris has represented this dis
trict satisfactorily ard with dignity.
He has met with the inevitable
embarrassment consequent upon
the distribution of patronage. 1t
has been impossible, from the very
nature of thiigs, to satisfy every
one. 1t is possible that he has not,
in every instance, pursued the
wisest course. But he has done
the best possible. He could not.
under the pressure and counter
pressure brought to bear, always
make the WiSest selection. 1t is
enough to know that in every in
stance he acted consclentiously,
and as he believed to be for the
hest. But the paiceling out of Off
GERS, like the distribution of seeds,
is only an incident in the duties of
a congressman. On the graver
issues he has uniformly acted with
and discretion, and the in
terestS of his district have been ef-
fectively cared for. He is a great
worker, has achieved influence
his fellow members and the
various departments, and his rec
ord, during his brief service is all
hat his most eXaCting constituents
Gould desire. That he has not &C
the impossible is con-
:eded. He has not achieved in
months that distinction and notori-
ety which attaches to the leaders |
If the house who have been in con-
inuous service for many wears.

AT WAR;.

For the first time within the recol
lection of majority of the readers O.
this paper this country is on a wal
footing, with every Indication that &C.
tive hostilities will commence within a
week. While the HERALD deprecates
war and its attendant evils, it is proud
of it's country that it has seen lit, aftel
exhausting every peaceful expedie lent,
to intervene for putting an end to the
barbaric ATROCITIES which have dis
graced the civilization of the cen tury.
and blighted one of the fairest lands
on this fair earth. The unutterable
innumanity which Spain has exercised
over her defenceless dependencies TO"
years will be brought to a speedy end,
never to be repeated because she will
have no dependencies upon which to
exercise her cruelties. Swift punish
ment will be visited upon her, and the
world will be the better for her humili-
alton.
President McKinley's policy in not
precipitating matters has been severely
criticized, and unjustly so. He has
exercised only such elaboration as a
question so grave demanded, and
consentient history will applaud his
wisdom, as also his patriotism. The
good name of the republic was at stake
and nothing that he has done or failed
to do, has imperiled it in the least. 1t
is the rash and ill-advised precipita-
ton of congress, struggling not for
national honor but for party adyan-
tage, which has brought whatever of
attaches to the nation
in this connection.
But that is past. War has been prac-
tically declared and the whole Uni ted
States is a unit IN it's patriotic devo-
ton. The conquest is for humanity.
1t will cost precious lives and much
treasure, but tine expenditure will not
be in vain. Our country has ad-
vanced the cause of universal brother |
hood a hundred years at single
bound, and every Christian natl on
upon earth is forever bound by this
The truest, bravest, best on his foot
stool.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican State convention
met on Tuesday and issued a for
NAL call for the State convention, to
be held in St. Paul on June 3Oth,
and in the call is embodied what
the HERALD believes to be a dan
gerous provision, namely, an ex-
preston of the choice of the dele
gates for United States Senator to
be elected by the legislature at the
next succeeding session of that
body. At the present time the
evil is not apparent, only as pre-
cedent. The convention will de-
clare for Cushman K. Davis, the
choice of ninety per cent of the
Republican party of the state, and
about an equal per cent of the OPP
position. lhe state is proud of its
senior senator, and never so much
so as since he has shown such
breadth of craftsmanship, such
patriotism and political wisdom i'm
handling the Cuban question. A.
ter all said and done in senate and
house, both bodies finally adopted
his views and suggestions, which
he steadily and sturdily maintained
with quiet dignity which brought
success.
The state committee calls the
convention early-perhaps that is
wise, providing it is understood
that an active campaign be not
entered upon for six weeks or
more after the nomination. A
grave responsibility rests upon the
convention. Not only does the
success of the state ticket depend
upon its action, but the result OF It's
labors will influence the congress
sional elections in at least three dis.
tricts in the state. A strong head
to the ticket is demanded vote
getter-and pre-eminently the
strongest so far named is Judge
Collins.
