To The st. Paul Globe
Promptly In response to the call for Min
nesota's quota of troops to prosecute the war
with Spain. there assembled in st. Paul Fri
day morning probably as fine body of men
as Uncle Sam has to depend upon to protect
his rights and maintain his integrity as a
nation. They were Minnesotas Offering to
the call for help.
Many of these men had left their homes the
night before without making provision for
their next meal. Upon arrival in st. Paul, it
was presumed that the patriotic people of
st. Paul. especially Colonial Danes
or the Daughters of Our Revolutionary
Fathers, would have seen that a full and
satisfying breakfast was provided Failing
in this. that they would look after the well
fare of the boys to the extent of hot coffee
to solace them in lieu of something more
substantial, or at least glass of cold water,
to show that that which cost us nothing
We We're generous with; but not so much as
cup of cold water in the name Of freedom
was offered.
Suffice 1t to say, there is no hamlet in
Minnesota so small poor but what, il
the governor had rendezvoused the troops at
such place, would have cheered the boys
by a substantial breakfast and a God-speed
st. Paul did nothing. and we hear of men
fainting by the way for want of food Kept
in line for hours, and not so much as a
drink Of cold water offered.
Call your next quota of troops anywhere,
governor, but do not ask them to assemble
in hospitable st. Paul

ed had somebody in authority made
it his business to notify them. We think
this matter must have been bungled at the
capitol. The fact that this is the first time
our governor ever issued a war bulletin is
no excuse for the neglect of the boys. We
should like to hear from some of them on
this matter, and guarantee the same protec-
ton that is given to other writer's of privi-

be made public unless desired. These must
however, accompany all communications as

The Journalist, of New York, celebrated its
fourteenth birthday with souvenir number
which is ideal, geographically, and whose
contents must be interesting to working
newspaper men West and East It's feature
is an illustrated sketch of the Press club, of
from which it appears that one of it's earlier
members, who has since obtained distinction,
is Melville e. Stone, the present general
manager of the Associated Press, who was
the first secretary and treasurer of the Chi
cago Press club in 1880. The picture Of
Stone portrays a slim, thin-featured gentle
man. with a head not quite so bald and an
air not so wicked are possessed by the
general manager of today. The Journalist
is edited with all the old-time snap which
characterized the writings of Allan Forman
in its earlier history. If the prospectus is
fully realized, as there is no doubt that it
will be, the Journalist must continue to be
a souce of instruction to the youngsters in
the business, and of information to their
elders.
toast offered by the Hon. Lispenard
Stewart, of New York. at the dinner party
given in Havana in honor of Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee and Capt. Sigsbee, NAV be
prophetic in its import Mr.. Stewart toasted
Gen. Lee as perhaps the next vice president
of the United States.-Leslie's Weekly.
Vice PRESIDENT Stewart is Republican,
and isn't expected to know that Democrats
have actually considered Lee in connection
with the presidency. AS a matter of fact
both Virginia and Maryland may be expected
to. present presidential candidates in 1900
Each state possesses presidential timber.
If it is to be war, let it be a short, sharp
and decisive war, with every man and every
dollar in the United States at the service
of the national government.-Lesle's Weekly.
That's the talk, and we hope Lesle's Week
ly will continue to impress that belief upon
its Republican associates.
