Our Ambassador to ST. James.

President Mckinley has appointed as
ambassador to England the Hon. Jo-
seph H. Choate, of New York. and
the senate is expected to ratify, in due
course Of time, his selection. That
other honorable of the state Of New
York, Senator Thomas G. Platt, Boss
of the Republican machine of the En-
pire state, has reasons for fellc1tatlng
himself upon the fact that, when Mr..
Choate steps aboard an Atlantic liner,
the one Republican in the state who
has, next to Elihu Root, caused him
most pain in his career of Boss Will
presently be beyond reach and all pos
sible injury to the Boss future plans.
Less than a year ago Mr. ChOate
was a candidate for United States
senator, and his friends in the assem-
bly, gallery looked down upon proceed
ings which recorded seven votes for
him as against a hundred or so for
the candidate of the machine, Mr..
Platt. Formal notice was then and
there served by some of Mr.. Platts
friends upon Mr.. Choate to the erect
that he could no longer play in the
Republican back yard. But time IS
the great healer of wounds, and the
old man relenting, the action of the
president has followed.
Mr.. Choate is the recognized leader
of the bar in New York, and that re-
minds us that Russell Sage Will also
rejoice at his absence, for the manner
in which the lawyer turned this Pc
nurious multi-millionaire inside out,
when his clerk sued him for S5O,0o0
damages for utilizing his services
against a reckless bomb-thrower, an
guished Mr.. Sage, as well as convulsed
a continent.
We can conceive of no American VINO
can more cleverly handle the delicate
task to which this Republican admin
istration seems committed, of fornlu-
Iating an alliance between the United
States and England. Mr.. Choate ought
to be welcome to the English heart, for
truth compels the admission that THIS
gifted New Highlander has no love and
little respect for the Irish. Some wit
icisms of his at New York dinner sew
eral years ago were leveled at the rep
resentatives Of this nationality which
have never been forgotten or forgiven.
Whether the wine was in and wit was
out matters not; his want Of good taste
remains unquestioned. He may be per-
soma grata to the Briton, but he Will
leave the shores of his own land lack
ing the esteem of a very large body OF
his own countrymen.

Asking for an explanation, he was invited
by the trombone player. who managed the
orchestra. to go out and take drink Tho
entire party adjourned to q neishboring hotel
ana upon their return found that three more
men had arrived, leaving the first violin and
bass vtol to be accounted for. There was a
walt OF fifteen or twenty minutes, during
which time Mr.. Bachelor grew more per-
turbed every minute, as he had a difficult
score to reheasre and none too much time to
do 1t In. The strain was broken by another
visit to the hotel for drinks. On the way
back to the theater the bass viol player was
seen struggling w the street
We'll, how about that violin player?"
asked Mr.. Bachelor.
Well slowly replied the manager gaz-
Ing UP at the sky, which was as clear as

State Agricultural Society.

The State Agricultural society In
dulged in an experiment when it de.
cided to hold, this year, something
more than a mere annual meeting for
the election Of officers. 1t will today
conclude a three days session of what
Is conceded to be the most interesting
meeting in its history. Papers have
been read which have contributed to
the information of the public concern
ing stock matters and this has been
increased by the talks given by several
philosophical citizens. The G o g
can point with pardonable pride to the
fact that 1t was the only newspaper
in the Twin Cities whose news in
stinct enabled it to recognize this de-
parture from the society's custom and
to give to the meeting that measure Of
publicity to which it was entitled. But
then The G o b is a newspaper just
as the society's reunion was an an
nual meeting in the best sense Of the
term. What has been an experiment
on the part of the society will become

Same Old Incompetency.


An idea possibly is abroad that the terri
bic blunders OF the war department had an
ending with the Santiago campaign, the re-
turn of the troops in the horrible troopehips
and the camp horrors at Montauk Point An
American. writing a private letter from
Matanzas on Christmas day, says:
1t way a strange sight to see the Ameri-
can troop OF engineers that reached here last
Thursday march across the bridge with Old
Glory flying above them. The poor fellows
did the best they could. There they were
with the same uniforms as they wear at
the North and borne down with heavy
kits, marching, 1 would rather say totter-
ing along-a pitiful sight The Spanish Of
f1cers smiled, and the people said that the
war Office OF the United States must be con-
trolled by the dulest and stupidest people
in the world"
The writer Is informed that 1t is the same
old incompetency still doing business at the
old stand.-The Criterion.

WHEN PINGREE is KING.

Oh. won't there be q jolly row
When Ping is king.
The crown upon hts noble brow
Will hop about, most anyhow.
And there will be ne'er pledge nor vow
When Ping is king.
The ''house of lords" will be non est
When Ping is king.
The mil,fonaires will leave their nest
And Nat McKays will take a rest;
None OF that Tx will stand the test,
When Ping is king.
Imperialism will not do~
When Ping Is king.
Well have no fields or pastures new
For struggling armies to subdue.
Nor bite off more than we can chew.
When Ping Is king.
Gigantic trusts will hunt their hoes
When Ping is king.
Railroads will then charge trihing tolls,
And scheme no more 10 own the pos1s;
Great men win all wear Pingree soles.

Sorrow ard sin will rage no moro
When Ping Is king.

And custard pie we'll have galore
Our feet will touch the golden shore
When Ping 10 king.

COMPETITION VS.. OPPOSITION.

Mr.. Cannon Discriminates Between
Influences of Two Industrial Fore cs.
Apropos Of Charles R. Flint's analysis of
economic organization, the following extract
from an address Of James G. Cannon. presi-
dent of the National Association of Credit
Men, is interesting. He says:
While the spirit of competition is keener to-
day than ever before, I think there Is less
and less malice and harsh feeling between
competitors in similar trades time goes
on This Is evidenced by the growth of Or
CARNATIONS among merchants and manufact-'
urers in the same line Of business, such as
national and local associations Of hardware
men, clothiers and other similar associa-
lions which are formed for cooperation and
protection of mutual interests. One of the
members of our association has expressed in
concrete form the difference between compe-
tition and opposition. and there is so mach
truth and force in his remarks that 1 take
the liberty Of quoting them:
Competition is the life Of trade" The
merchant who promotes healthy rivalry
and honorable competition will find 1t
Opposition Is rank poison to legitimate busi-
ness, The merchant who wastes his time
clubbing his neighbors and digging pitfalls
for them will find 1t SO; he will eventually
fall into his own trap.
Competition and opposition are easily con-
founded.
Competition is an honest mans means.
Opposition is a two-edged sword, likely to
draw blood on the reckless handler.
Competition, be it ever 30 sharp, Is tenn
pered with fair play.
Opposition arouses passion, puts>a premium
on trickery and degrades business.
Competition brings improvement and ac-
tivity.
Opposition suggests any old scheme to in
jure an opponent.
Competition makes friends.
Opposition destroys friendship and makes
enemies
Competition nourishes profits.
Opposition kills them.
Competition means friendly rivalry, with
honor and mutual success.
Opposition means unfriendly strife and hos
tility, without success to either party.
The benefits of competition are worldwide.
The evils Of opposition are just as widely
distributed.

snanish In the Schools,

The trade journals of the country are urg-
ing that Spanish be taught in the high
schools. American Trade" argues cogently,
and indicates, what it considers the proper
mode of instruction. From a commercial
standpoint, says the writer, the Spanish Ian
guage Is of vast Importance to the business
interests Of the United States, and the neces-
sity for familiarity with this tongue will
not be diminished for many years to come.
The sooner our young men get right down
to work in the study of Spanish the more
quickly they will be equipped to get out
and hunt for business in the countries to
the south of us. There is no need of ever
burdening the already crowded courses of
the pubic school, of the lower grades. There
is abundant place for the teaching OF Span
