plant only three days. What our
standard of work will be you can
only imperfectly judge by the ap-
pearance of The TRIBUNE this week.
Our standard of a newspaper is
perhaps Ginattainable with our pres
ent means. However, the following
will perhaps indicate the ideal toward
which we will work, to print ALL the
news, news from Morris, from the
towns Of Stevens county, and what is
Of general interest in the news of the
state and world at large; next, to give
an opportunity to the merchants of
Morris to represent to the outside
towns what an enterprising little city
we have, and also to give the mer-
chants an opportunity of communi
cation with their customers by that
direct and efficient means newspa-
per advertising. The editorial de-
partment of The TRIBUNE we will al
ways try to have guided by the high
est principle. Our politics will con
tinue Republican, but he is no true
Republican or true man to any party
or true American, who will not ever
urge coward and upward" and look
the problems Of the day straight in
the face, as x-President Harrison
did SO grandly not long since. Fur
ther, the typographical appearance Of
The TRIBUNE we intend to make as
good as our facilities will allow, and
if we find the facilities faulty, they
will beremedied as speedily as posi-
Bile
The editors must take this public
manner, also, of thanking SO many
of the people of Morris who have
taken such an interest and given us
SO many assurances Of good will.
Many an older paper might well envy
The TRIBUNE the large number ofnew
subscribers which it has gained the
past week.
Finally, The TRIBUNE is to be and
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1898-04-06

wants to be devoted to the interests
of the people of Morris and the PEG
pie Of Stevens county, Any sugges-
lions at any time will be kindly re-
ceived. In justice to ourselves it re-
mains to be said that few of our ex-
pectations can be realized within the
next two months for a reason easily
understood, but in due time all that
can be done will be done to make
The TRIBUNE the pride of it's con-
stituency as we'll as of it's editors.

With this issue of the TRIRUNE [
step aside as publisher and turn the
affairs of the paper over to younger
hands. And in this my last epistle to
my friends I wish to sincerely thank
them for the interest they have taken
in my welfare and for the patronage
bestowed upon the paper, and to all
who have aided me in my struggle to
give the people of Morris and Stevens
county a real live country paper, |
wish to return my heartfelt thanks.
The young men who have succeeded
me in the proprietorship Of The
TRIBUNE are we'll known in Morris
and | feel confident they will keep up
its reputation as THE paper Of Stevens
county which the late Col. r. c..
Stevens labored for five years to
establish. My friends have been very
kind to me, and in overlooking my
shortcomings and mistakes have Ger
tainly been very considerate, for which
feel grateful. Hoping the many
friends Of The TRIBUNE will give the
proprietors a fair share of their pat
ronage and that they will make a
success Of their new venture, and
again thanking you, dear reader,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From The Tribune's Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April |. 1898.
j. G.. MORRISON,
c.. B. BURPEE.

WASHINGTON, April l, 1898.
NOTWITHSTANDING sensational publ
cations to the contrary, President
Mckinley and congress are now, as
they have been from the beginning,
of one mind as to the object sought
in the Spanish complications peace
and independence for Cuba and the
extension Of aid to the needy Cubans
until they are in a position to get
along without it, There was, and is,
slight difference Of opinion as to
how that object can best be secured.
President Mckinley prefers that it
should be peaceably accomplished,
and having received assurance which
caused him to believe that it could be,
he asked that congress defer action
until Spain has definitely answered
propositions practically an ultima
tum looking to an immediate settle
ment, leaving the report Of the blow
ing up the Maine by a mine alone for
the time. Congress, or large ma
jority of it, is suspicious of Spain and
its diplomacy, and was at first dis
posed to take action for immediate
intervention and the recognition of
Cuban independence, but after the
president had acquainted leading
senators and representatives with the
nature of the negotiations now pend
ing with Spain and asked them to
