MAY BE

In a recent interview Senator
Hansbrough had this to say of the
administration and it's foreign
policy:
The administration, with Presi-
dent Mckinley at the head, may
be trusted to manage the problem,
intricate though it may be, in a
manner entirely acceptable to the
great majority Of the American
people and the rest Of the world
will have to be satisfied. The last
congress gave the president ample
financial resources and unlimited
power to deal with the question.
In doing SO we had every conf
dence in his ability to succeed.
But few presidents have been in
trusted with so tremendous a res
possibility, but I make the pre-
diction that the ultimate result
will involve little, if any, disap-
pointment. One by one the croak-
ers are ceasing to croak, and
Atkinson will soon be a thing of
the past. The attempt to make
anti-imperialism an issue in
national politics has already fallen
by the wayside. Everyone under
stands hat the United States did
not seek war with Spain, nor did
we covet any of her possessions.
It is equally we'll known that from
the moment the Maine was de-
stroyed in Havana harbor wal be-
came inevitable. That this
country should have so we'll per

Fargo Forum: Senator Hans
brough is home from Washington.
The report that Senator Hans
brough was to act as chairman Of
the national Republican committee
in the absence, and as the choice Of
Senator Hanna, during the latter's
absence, is denied. But the report
itself so current, evidences that
our senior senator stands very
close to the leader, and has a say
in all things. His experience and
acumen makes Senator Hans
brough one Of the strong men Of

QUIT GROWING.

4. W.
William E. Curtis, the Chicago
Records Washington correspon-
dent, in speaking Of the late Ros-
we'll P. Flower, tells the following:
"a pessimist came into his office
one morning and began to croak
about everything, particularly
about the trusts. MI. Flower
listened awhile good-naturedly;
then he walked over to him and
said:
Stop making faces at the trusts
and get into one. If there is any
good monopoly around buy some
stock in it and quit growing. [
never saw a man yet who was
against a good thing when he had
a share in it. AS for prosperity,
you can't put q limit on it, and
these fellows that r worrying
about expansion and Imperialism
got the dyspepsia. McKin-
all right. I know him. He
is as square a man as ever lived.
He's got a hard job, but he's doing
the best he can, and when a boat
is going through dangerous rapids
it doesn't do any good for a lot Of
blamed fools to keep yelling at the
man at the wheel. The Lord is
running this country, and he runs
things right. Mckinley and
Dewey and Otis and that fellow
Aguinaldo are His Instruments,
and they are simply doing what He
tells them to do. That's the kind
of a statesman I am. [ believe in
the Lord, and I believe He's stuck
on this country. We haven't had
a thing happen here yet but what
He ordered it for our good, and,
while I can't quite figure out His
reasons for letting that fellow
Aguinaldo raise HI in the Philip
pines, you keep your eye open and
you'll see 'em some day. People
wonder why our liberties had to be
bought with blood. I'll tell you
why. The more a thing costs you
the more you value it; the more
it's worth; and while George
Washington and the continental
army were freezing to death at
Valley Forge God Almighty was
teaching them that lesson. Look
at France. They don't value civil
liberty over there because they
didn't have to work for it. Ii
those Frenchmen had to sweat
and starve and freeze like our rev.
dictionary fathers they would
estimate their blessings a good
deal higher than they do now.
The Lord was on our side dur
ing the war, and He led us into it,
andHe amt going to desert us now
that the fighting is over Ibelieve
in God Almighty, not because it is
written in the prayer book and the
Bible, but because I see His hand
every day of my'1ife. 1 believe in
this country, and I believe that
this country can take care Of any
thing it gets in any war; and l
believe in prosperity, and men can
make prosperity whenever they
are a mind to if they'll all join to-
gether. It is just such blamed
fools as you,' he exclaimed, point
ing to his visitor, that make
panics. It is every mans duty to
be good-natured and hopeful, and
encourage others to be so, too"

Several papers in the state have
criticized Insurance Commissioner
Harrison for the manner in which
he distributed the patronage Of
his Office among the newspaper
boys-and girls-and this is his
defense.
The distribution of patronage by the commits
sioner of insurance does not seem to have met
with unanimous approval, and some of the
newspapers are criticizing. The cases that are
pointed to as being unfair seemed to the COM
missioner to be but just. One lady was given
recognition, whose husband died, leaving her
to struggle with the world and delinquent SUBJ
scribers..her paper is Democratic..but a sense
of justice o%vershadowed politics. Another
case was an invalid wife of a brother editor,
who needed funds to give her such comforts as
were necessary during her decline. Many other
cases where brother editors were more
generously recognized than some was due to
heavy mortgages on their plants. This is the
record on which the commissioner based the
apportionment of the patronage and he feels
that he can stand the brunt of criticism.

about p. m. after one false start.
1t was Wisconsin's race to within 200
yards of the finish. For some reason
the cOxsWain steered the boat away in
towards the shore and out of his course,
so that he had to take the wash of small
boats that attempted to move out of
his way and Pennsylvania put in ter

Wisconsin took the start at the be-

was coming on. Still Wisconsin was in
the lead at three and one-half miles, but

Chippewa Falls. Wis. June 27.-The
village marshal Of Tony, a small town
north Of here on the 500 line, this coun-
ty, arrested a peculiar character Sat
urday, who was brought to this city
Sunday and placed in the county Jail.
He is man about GO years of age and
has lived ir the primeval forests of
northern Wisconsin so long that he be-
came wild. When he entered the town
Of Tony he became frightened at the
sight Of humanity and his actions led
the marshal to take him into custody.
He assaulted the officer with a large
bowie knife and it required the services
Of three men to take the knife away
from him and lCck him up. On several
occasions this hermit has been seen by
land hunters cruising in the woods, but
none could get near enough to speak
with him. His beard and hair are long
and shaggy and he wore nothing but a
quincy sack about his body, presenting
a formidable appearance.
All day visitors went to the jail to see
this peculiar specimen Of humanity, sit
ting alone in the Jail corridor, but he
pays no attention to them and when
spoken to answers in a language that
no one can understand. 1t is supposed
that he is of French parentage, but has
been secluded from humanity so long
that he has forgotten his language. The
authorities here have decided to ex-
anime him as to his sanity. If he is
proven to be insane it is thought that he
