the extent of one vote. Nick enna's con-
gressional career demonstrated beyond
all doubt that he is in the hands Of his
railroad friends.
"A Minnesota Republican, who has lad
considerable to do in assisting in the Re-
publican campaigns III this state, is re-
ported to have said at Washington that
if Capt. Van SAINT is nominated for gov
ernor by the Repub licans, and a man
like Lind is nominated against him, the
Winona candidate would be defeated.
It is an unfortunate thing for Tom
Reed that he cannot get out into every
congressional district next fall and APP
ply the party lash as successfully as he
did in the house the other day when the
Teller resolution came up for discussion.
Many man, who on that day listened
to the voice of the boss instead of fol,
lowing his honest inclinations, will pay
the penalty in November.
The Spanish foreign minister proposes
sending $4,000 more men to Cuba, in
response to recent requests. They were
asked for by General Blanco before he
began his voyage to the eastern Cuban
provinces, in order 10 replace the sick
and dead soldiers. The minister says:
ssNo international difficulties exist in
the Cuban insular cabinet to make me
anticipate the probability of an immedi-
ate crisis. Our relations with the Unit
ed States are also good" IL.
| The jury in the case of Banker Ward
against Editor Day of the Fairmont Sem
Incl returned verdict, assessing the
damages at just 81. The suit was brought
to establish the fact that Ward had been
libeled when Day called him Shylock
and. informed the public that he was
Sinking the payment of his just share
of taxes, but the verdict would indicate
that the people of Martin county be-
lieved the charge, while. criticising its
publication. The Review congratulates
: Bro. Day and trusts. the judgment will

The St. Paul Globe has passed into
the hands of syndicate OF which Boss
Whitney of New York is said to be the
head. Geo. Spinney, formerly of the
New York Times. assumes the manage
ment of the sheet, and the improvement,
if not from an editorial, at least from
a news standpoint, is noticeable. Its
political policy, however, is as crazy as
was that of the Globe Of l996-Demo-
cratic according to it's own estimate, Re-
publican ally according to the estimate
of everybody else. One thing it will
learn--that it cannot change the pur-
pose of the reformed democracy, an or
ganization containing nine-tenths of all
that was ever, good in the democracy of
the past. This new democracy has brok-
en- away from the bosses and leaders,
! who for years swung it to suit their
own ends, and will henceforth act indie
pendently and along new lines The
advice of the Globe of 1898 will not re-
ceive any closer attention than did the
! advice and counsel of the Globe IF 1896.
| The administration has decided to ex-
e, else the power conferred upon. the
president by the act of 1887 and pay off
the claims of the first lien holders of the
Kansas Pacific railroad. This will make
the government the owner of both the
first and second liens upon the eastern
and middle divisions of the road. APP
plication will be made by the attorney
general for the appointment Of a receiv-
er in the government suit to operate the
railroad for the benefit of its liens, and by
this means it is expected that the ,imme-
diate sale OF the property will be de-
ferred, and the government given an OPP
portunity to negotiate for a better price
than has oeen offered by the reorganiza-
ton committee, which controls the first
mortgages. In the meantime the bene-
fits of the profitable option Of the road,
if it continues to be probably managed,
will, under the receiver appointed in the
government suit, be to the advantage Of
the government by way Of Production of
its claims. The amount which will be
necessary to pay the first lien holders in
this case is something over $4,000 200.
