Remember the r1aine.

T~HE BELIEF has probably
never been abandoned by
Il the American people that
the mystery of the Maine
would one day be cleared up. Interest
in the subject is revived by the an
nouncement in Havana dispatches
that additional information has recent
iy come into the possession of the
authorities. who are about to put their
hands upon the guilty parties.
This may or may not be accurate;
the authorities are properly non-com-
INITIAL but 1t seems reasonable that
American Intervention in Cuba. with
it's control of every avenue of informa-
tion and power, would not fail to in
clude among it's purposes the most
persistent attempt to hunt down the
assassins of our noble battleship and
it's gallant crew. The guilt which
could plan and execute so infamous
a crime as that cannot forever be hid
den; soner or later it is bound to re-
veal itself. If the secret service of the
United States government has not al
ready got hold of the threads of the
conspiracy the public can feel assured
that it is neglecting no opportunity to
acquire this grasp, which, once OBJ
tained, will be followed up relentless
ly.
Back OF all the political consc-
quences of the war with Spain, which
have probably meted out to the Span
ish nation full punishment for the
misgoyernment in whose shadow such
a crime could be conceived, there hes
the great unsolved question of per-
sonal responsibility; and the officials Of
the United States would be recreaEt
TO every instinct of humanity if they
should relax detective operations un-
I'll this personal guilt is established
and answered for as befits its urpre-
cedentad enormity

The kaiser's Opportunity.

" AS THE EMPEROR Of
- Germany decided to aban-
= l. don the traditional insular-
ism of continental policy so
marked in the earlier history of the
German confederation and to identify
himself on the side nf the great pro-
Eresslve powers, Great Britain and the
United States? Is the mighty influence
OF the German empire hereafter to be
used, not as pawn in the knaVish
games of the continental intrlguers,
but as vital force in behalf of the
worlds highest civilization along broad
lines of international justice and fair
play? In other words has the sue
cessor of Bismarck at the helm of the
German ship Of state decided at last
10 discard so far as possible the frank
and brutal Machavelism OF the Iron
Chancellor and substitute therefor as
his chart 9f action a doctrine of moral
responsibility not limited by his en-
pire's immediate bounds?
These interesting questions are sug-
gested I'm part by the announcement
that an amicable agreement has prac-
tically been arrived at by Great Brit
ain, the United States and Germany
with respect to Samoa Ga most sur
prising evidence of mutual good will
wholly at variance with the spirit OF
past negotiations upon this subject:
and in part by the assertion by Walter
Wellman, who has again taken charge
Of the Washington correspondence for

three powers have not only agreed as
to Samoa. but have extended this CO.

problem OF the future OF China and are

Not long ago England was wholly iso-

larger politics Russia was friendly, but

with France, an effort TO go with Russia
into a combination which might revive
Napoleon's dream Of the continent united

kaiser saw them drawing gradually closer

In Washington I learn upon the highest

1t needs to be understood, OF course,
that so far as the United States Is

momentous and altogether beneflcent

testimony touching friotions at a dis
tance from the seats OF the govern
ments concerned, etc, II is conceivable
that neutral investigation might prove
welcome escape from prolonged dip
lomatic wrangling between the powers
Immediately interested.
A second objection is foreseen over
the article which reads that the sig
natory powers consider 1t a duty, In
the case when an acute dispute threat
ems to break out between two or more
of them. to remind those powers that
the permanent court of arbitration ls
open to them" This was anticipated
by the American delegation which
sought to insert the qualifying clause
when circumstances will permit"
and which, when that amendment
failed. put upon record the declaration
that nothing in this convention shall
be so construed as to require the
United States of America to depart
from its traditional policy of not in
truding upon, interfering with or en-
tangling itself in. the political ques-
tions or policy or internal administra-
tion of any foreign state; nor shall
anything contained in the said conven-
tion be construed to imply a relinquish-
ment by the United States Of America
of it's traditional attitude toward pure
ly American questions"
The third and most serious objection
is likely to arise over the rules of pro-
cedure of the permanent court; and
more especially over the lack of any
opportunity to secure a revision of de-
cree after the discovery Of materially
important new evidence. The treaty
at this point impresses us as defective
and seems to put an emphasis upon
first conclusions which is more
European than American in its signi-
fcance. 1t is conceivable, as between
the United States and European power
er, that the latter. wishing to get the
sanction of decree OIL court stamped
upon unjust claims, might, by it's SUI
perior diplomatic resources rapidly fix
up case, provoke a dispute and rush
the United States into arbitration be-
the controversy; in which event the
lack of a chance for subsequent re-
vision would permanently inflict in
justice II 1t did not directly contribute
to war. The history of our experiences
with European arbitration tribunals
in the past teaches that this is no hy-
perCritical imagining
1t is unfortunate that a work other
wise so promising should in this one
detail fall short of obvious justice. If
this defect should cause the treaty's
overthrow in the senate it will be n
new notification to whom it may con-
Germ that the United States, in its
proper zeal to promote peace and good
will among the nations, is not to be
betrayed by European cunning into an
indiscretion.

The Result.

TN VIEW Of the complexity and
uncertainty OF the local returns
II at the hour of writing, comment
and analysis are withheld. The
general returns are not far different
from prevalent expectations. Ohio and
Kentucky.the important battle grounds,
appear to be safely Republican, but
Nebraska and Maryland are lost and
the light vote in other states causes
reduced majorites. The election Of
Barnett in Pennsylvania, in view OF
all the circumstances, can be con-
strued in no other way than as re-
buke to the men who introduced per-
sonal defamation into the canvass
against him. But for this factor his
vote would no doubt have been less.
Generally speaking, it is the old story
over again, of Republican "off year"
apathy. 1t takes hot fight to bring
out the Republican party's mettle.

BIG, brainy Dan Lawler, of St. Paul,
is a man of whom every Minnesotan
has reason to feel proud. Here is an
extract from an eloquent Grafton de-
livered by him at Rochester on the
Fourth: I'VE hear much nowadays
about expansion and imperialism. For
myself, I am not frightened by epithets
or catchwords and will be ready when
the time comes to express in public and
in private my convictions on the sub
jects which have been mentioned; but
my fellow citizens, imperialism and
expansion are not issues of to-day.
They may be issues of tomorrow.
There is but one issue to-day, growing
out Of the Spanish war, and that is the
issue that is being fought out by
American citizens in the Philippine
jungles, by the waters of the Asiatic
sea- So long as a single Amer
lean soldier is in the field striving to
uphold the honor of his country's flag,
| recognize one, and only one duty,
and that is the duty Of every Ameri-
can citizen, Democrat, Republican or
Populist, to hold up the hands of the
president of this republic, commander
in-chief of the American army. On
this issue parties cannot and will not
divide. And he little knows the tenn
per Of the people Of this land who for
partisan gains attempts to manufacture
an issue out of a condition caused by
a war for justice and humanity, ap-
proved by the enlightened sense of
civilization and originating in the pur-
est and hottest motives. The fortunes
Of that war brought beneath that FLAG
great domain, rich in natural re-
sources, but shattered and discovered
by the horrors of civil strife. The
American people would be false to
every standard of right and duty if it
were to haul down the flag, recall the
victorious ships of Dewey's fleet and
turn the islands over again to ruin and
anarchy. Peace and quiet will be re-
stored by the strong hand of this re-
public, and then in frmness, in honor
and in justice will be solved the prob
lens Of the futuren

CONGRESSMAN TAWNEY, despite the
adverse criticism Of a portion Of the
public press, is one of the ablest men
Minnesota ever sent to congress, and
his prominence in the speakership con-
test will make him a still greater fac
tor in the work at the national capital.
Not all the districts in Minnesota are
as fortunate in their representative as
is, the First, aud if the people Of that
district know what is best for them
they will keep him where he is. Per-
haps Mr. Tawney has quite a clear
view of his own Importance and a fiat
tering estimate of his own abilities,
but he has come up from the ground
floor by his own exertions and is en-
titled to entertain a pretty good opin-
ion of himself. That is more than can
be said of some other congressman not
far removed, geographically or numer-
ically, from the First district.
