Then, from Minneapolis, in response
TO this patronizing talk, the remark
that Minneapolis has made up her mind
for good and all that she won't have
anything to do with Mckinley recep-
ton in st. Paul, that she will cut loose
entirely and that she will show the
president how much better Minneapo-
lis can entertain than st. Paul can. So,
there. Then, this from St. Paul: We'll, If
Minneapolis doesn't want to come to st.
Paul, st. Paul will not try to force her.
If Minneapolis insists on seeding and
being a state the capital of which is
herself, all right. 1t is just as easy for
her to do that as it is for her to take
the Mississippi river by the boot straps
and tilt it up so as to make Minneapolis
the head of navigation"
And so on and so on, across the inter-
urban acres. It's no wonder that the
president hesitates. A man of his spine

by way of the lakes and Duluth and
return via Billings and Omaha than to
run risk of losing votes by making
choice between this petulant kindergar-

amusing degree. In its latest phase the
situation was about like this: Mime

Mrs. Southworth.

IF the numbe.-af readers be the test
Of popularity. Mrs. f. d. f. N.
Southworth. who died yesterday in
Washington, was probably the most
popular novelist that America has pro-
duced. She wrote upwards of sixty
novels-from 1850 to 1880 she ground
them out with amazing rapidity. She
had no standing in the literary world,
that is to say, the world of literary art
lists. But the great masses, the common
people who make no pretense to literary
discrimination, devoured Mrs. South
worth's novels with avidity and relish.
Like Wilkie Collins, she knew how TO
develop her plots in such way as to
excite interest and keep it at concert
pitch. She reVeled in mysterious muir
ders. and after all what appeals so pow
erfully to the average imagination as a
good murder mystery?
Mrs. Southworth was not lacking in
dramatic power and her works contain
many excellent passages descriptive of
southern life and scenery. Her stories

C O-AE man who has quite a pull

need a new cabinet officer whose rank
will be secretary of the colonies.
Nearly every newspaper in the land
has had a word to say in reference to
the suggestion and the Washington
correspondents seem to think that the
proposition will get serious attention
before our career in militarism is much
older. To the Standards notion the
Philadelphia Record is not far out of
the way when it says: Having ac-
quired by conquest and purchase colo
MES inhabited largely by unassimil-
able, semi-civilized and savage people,
and having no suitable machinery for
their government, the establishment of
a colonial office at Washington and the

visable"

Labor is Organizing.

Chicago, June 3O-Labor is rapidly
organizing at the stock yards in an
ticipation of a general strike on July
l. The leaders of the dissatisfied en-
ployes claim they are finding no trouble
in uniting their forces. The labor or
CARNATIONS will be perfected whether a
general strike is ordered or not, as the
employees of the big packing companies
say that heretofore none of their re-
quests have carried weight with the
bosses, because the stock yards labor
lacked unity, The packers are claim
ing that the present difficulty is prac-
tiCally over and that there will be no
strike in July. The strikers who still
refuse to work say they have the sym
pathy of the employed workmen and
unless all their demands are granted
there will be complete tie-up in the
packing district.

The Other Otis.

the other Otis, who also is
General Otis. The other Otis is a news
paper editor from Los Angeles. He was
in service at Manila: he saw nearly a
years fighting around that city-so a
press dispatch of yesterday remarked.
That is to say the other Otis, from
Los Angeles, was at Manila for several
months and until about the time when
the real campaigning fairly set in.
General Otis of Los Angeles, on his
way to Washington, said to a. Chicago
reporter, yesterday that with fifty
thousand troops all told-say thirty
thousand for the fighting columns and
twenty thousand for garrison duty
Major General Otis can suppress the re-
volt before the next rainy season"
According to Washington reports
Major General Otis can do the work in a
good deal less time than that and with
less men. Last Monday Secretary Alger
received a dispatch from Major GEN
eral Otis, so the Chicago Times Herald
says, in which otis reiterates that
thirty thousand effective men will be
sufficient to enable the government to
control the Philippine islands"
The Times-Herald as the Standard
has formerly remarked, is strictly on
the inside, when it comes to admins
tration news or tips. In fact, when it
printed the dispatch we have just
quoted. the Times Herald added: This
dispatch was not made public. 1t will
be laid before the president when he
returns to Washington"
In the same item of news the Chi
cago oracle of the administration also
quoted "a cabinet officer who SAID:
Il never knew of a general who did not
ask for more men if he needed them -
and he added: There is no
general in the world willing to
continue campaign with an
inadequate force. And when a
competent general says that 10000 men
are sufficient, l brush aside the state
ments of doctors, buffers and the like
who have returned from Manila and Of
persons who live in this country and
don't actually know what the situa-
zion is
By these calculations the Los Angeles
General Otis must be about forty per
cent. out of the way in the estimate of
the number of men required ito speak
peace to the Philippine islands; be-
cause, of course, "a cabinet officer
knows what's what Yet there are vet
Grams lately returned from Manila and
referred to by "a cabinet officer" as
doctors, buffers and the like" who get
a hearing when they say that twice
fifty thousand men will be needed to
end the condition of actual war in the
islands; and the Lord knows how many
soldiers will be needed through long
eras Of rainy seasons to keep these
Malays quiet when once they are
crushed out in war.

Poor Return for Courtesy.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The London Daily News says that the
Russian man-of-war Gerzog Edn-
burkskij, whose officers and men were
recently the recipients of Swedish
courtesy at Kariskrona, reciprocated
by secretly taking sOundings under
cover of darkness until they were dis
covered by the governor of the fortress.
Kariskrona is the chief naval station
of Sweden; its approaches are well
fortified by modern naval defenses and
it has also a ship channel which is diff
ficult of naYigat ton.

Mrs Southworth died in the city of
Washington, where she was born not
quite eighty years ago. She was teach
ing school in that city in the '40es when
she began ito write stories for the Baltf-
more Saturday Visitor. Subsequently
she wrote for the National Era. In it's
columns appeared her first novel.
"Retribution." Originally intended for
a short story it grew into a long novel
form. For years she was a contribu-
tor to the New York Ledger. Many of
Mrs. Southworth's novels have been
translated into French, German and
Spanish. She was good woman and
her novels have charmed and delighted

OUR TwANG PUZZLES DOCTORS.
Origin of Nasal Voice of Americans Can
not BE Determined.

not Be Determined.
From the New York Press.
At the 21st annual congress of the
American Laryngological association,
which has just ended, the American
voice was placed on trial and found
guilty. 1t was pronounced officially as
being characterized by peculiar nasal
twang which could not be ascrbed, as
1t has been so often, to affections of
the throat or the vocal chords caused
by the climate. DIR. John w. Farlow
OF Boston declared that children often
acquired unpleasant voices through I'M
conscious imitativeness and that they
were cured of the habit often by being
placed with persons who spoke prop
erly. He added that the great emigra-
ton of all nationalities to this country
had introduced into our common speech
all sorts of bizarre vocal sounds, and
we were careless as to the best methods
of speaking. Yet, said he, some of the
pronounced nasal voices are heard in
country villages where the population
is purely native. The necessity of
properly training childrens voices can
not be urged too strongly. They should
be removed as far as possible from
vicious influences in this respect.
Every fall our newspapers are flooded
with advertisements of singing teach
ers, each one of whom asserts that he
possesses the correct method, but only
one person sings while a hundred talk.
People fall into thefconVersatiOnal hab-
of the community i'm which they live
and make no effort to better faulty
methods gr.
DR.. Hudson Makuen of Philadelphia
deplored the lack of attention given to
tone formation. He thought that the
excessive tension of American life was
partly the cause of the nasal voice, and
that the nation must learn to cultivate
the teachings of the gospel of relaXa-
tion." for American push was fast as
Stunning the proportions of a national
calamity. Dr. Amory De Blois of Bos-
ton thinks that the peculiar quality of
voice is a radical question largely. The
cultural of the German, the vibratory
nasal voice of the French and the high
| pitched tones of the Yankee are famil-
lar Illustrations, while the English
| voice among all social ranks is of an
| agreeable low pitch. DR.. Thomas Hub
| bard of Toledo told the association that
| he ascribed to the noise in American
| cities much of the prevalent high
| pitched speaking which is necessary to
make ones self heard, and from the
| noisy environment also the ear be-
| comes dulled and the appreciation of
! vocal misuse blunted. In closing the
discussion DR.. Farlow expressed the
| view that the American voice was little
| due to language, for English is spoken
| in many lands, none of which present
| the American nasal tone. AS to city
noises, the most pronounced twang is
| heard often in the quiet village.

Charles Summer Was a Practical States
man, Says Senator Hoar.


It has been said that Charles Sum
ner was not practical. He was the
most practical of modern statesmen.
Everything he did ought to have been
done; everything he tried to do and
failed to do ought to have been done.
The progress of the cause of the negro
in this country stopped when he died.
The progress of the cause of equal
rights and equal suffrage was arrested
at his death. What has been called
sometimes the failure of the recon-
struction policy, what has been called
sometimes the error of the republican
party in giving the negro suffrage, was
due to the fact that the condition which
he demanded of securing complete edu-
cation by national authority was not
accomplished because of the blindness
or the treachery of some republican
leaders,
But he almost always succeeded.
The experience of his life did not shake,
but confirmed, the opinions which he
formed in youth. He ever
