ILaWler is one OF n M Minnesota's really
great orators. His address on this oc-
Icasion was eloquent and patriotio sas
witness the closing parag graph: 81
On othelf subjects connected with the
Spanish war men have differed and
will differ still, but the united Ton
attested to the world that th = people 's
motive was as pure and holy as ever
fired the heart of knight of old to-
charge the heathen for the deliverante
of the sepulc her and the honor Of the
IChrist. Fear not, my fel How country
men, that disasterssO or disgrace can
come to this fair land because. its peo-
Iple heard the cry for help and an
lsWered to the call. Fear not 81 the
problems of the future; they will Sbe
solved in their own good time, In firm
mess. in honor and in Justice. And
whatever else may happen. be assured
of this, territory may be acquired or
IterriJory may be relinquished, but the
American people will neverawithdraw
the protecting shelter of the American
| flag from a single human being who
has stood beneath its folds until it se-
cures to him by charter or by cannon
that rightof life, liberty and the pur-
suit OF happiness which God has given
land which man can never take away.
| If this beimperialism it is the imper-
| ialism of Constantine, who saw and fol-
llowed the resplendent symbol in the
heavens that pointed out to him the
way of duty and of honor, and lit is not
| the imperialism of Nero. who sat se-
cure in pride and comfort and gazed
with, selfish heart and careless mind
upon the agonieo of mon.

admire the yea. Of my young friend
Cravens, in. his efforts to secure an ap-
preparation for the Mile Lacs lake
road. But he was doing the local
member an injustice by leading the
readers of the Times to believe that
there was a chance Of securing an APP
preparation when in reality there was
none. Money cannot be appropriated
out Of the general revenue fund for
roads and bridges, and, as has been
stated, there is no money in the in.
ternal Improvement fund. Certain
members of theslegislature have intro
duced road and bridge bills for effect.
One senator remarked to me, 81 know
there is no money TO be had for roads
and bridges this year, but my constitu-
ents would think I.,Was not doing my
duty if 7 failed to introduce half-a-
dozen bills asking for appropriations &
The senator was right. He mi ght
vote for every meritorious measure
that came before him, but If he ne,
elected TO ask for q brid gesappropn
tion many Of his constituents would
damn him.

The Glencoe Enterprise is in error.
when it tasserts that Auditor Dunn &c. !.
vocates a reduction on railroad pas
senger rates from three to two cents
per mile. have not written q line to
that effect. Passenger L rates are prob
ably low :enoug b: do not think II is
within the province Of the legislature
to make freight and passenger sched-
ules, and there is not the slightest
danger Of the present leg islature at
tempting anything in that direction.
