DESERVES SUPPORT.

What would be thought of an Ameri-
can administration that would aban-
don a policy because of difficulty it
carrying it out? Those who are talk
ing especial pleasure in exploiting and
and exaggerating the difficulties ahead
of us in the PHILIPPINES should answer.
President Mckinley knew that the
duty of governing the PHILIPPINES
would be difficult, but he knew that
no true American would dodge a duty
because it is difficult, and determined
that the difficulties should be sur
mounted and the duty properly per-
formed. He deserves the support of
every man who believes that the high
est duty of a nation as we'll as individ-
uals is to do what is ght.-Madezia

THE territory covered by the field
operations in the Philippines so far, is
not very much larger than Mile Laos
county. The distance from Manila to
Calumpit is go miles, and the fighting
has been directly along the line of road
running between these two points.
The country of course is unfavorable
to the progress of the army which has
to cut it's way through all sorts of
obstacles, and fight insurgents under
cover of the timber. The troops are
doing the best that could be expected
Of them under the circumstances, con-
sidering that they do not have the op-
portunity of reading the American
papers, which could tell them exactly
how to do. e..

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY has been petitioned
oy the parents Of some hundred soldiers serv-
Ing IN the Philippines, demanding firmly and,
respectfully that the regiment be sent back to
America. The petitioners deny the right OF
the government to compel their sons to serve
further. So the Secretary Of War had to cable
to General Otis asking if the men might safely
return. The reply Of General Otis stated that
the men have expressed their desire to remain
until conditions are better. so the parents
may be satisfied, but it seems a queer way of
running an army, that a soldier in the field
should be offered the option of going home
when his Ma wants him.--Tyrone Greland)

SPEAKING of the vote on the Jacob
son gross earnings bill, the Martin
County Sentinel says:
Two more men like Senator Viesselmarl
(dem.) and Senator Meilicke (pop) in the state
senate would have been worth EIGHT HUN
DRIED THOUSAND DOLLARS to the people
in the next two years.
10 read the fusion papers one would
be lead to suppose that all of the fusion
senator's voted for the jacobson bill.
The records, however, show that Sem
ators Dart, Ives. NcNamee and Schal-
Ter voted against it. Considering that
there were only 10 fusionists in the
senate, this number of votes against
the bill divides the responsibility of it's
defeat in the ratio that is not so cred
liable to the opposition as their papers
would like to have appear.

cal complexion, and he has absolute
authority to suggest any change de.
sired, with little probability that he
would have a single member Of the
commission opposed to him. The fact
is, however, and the governor declared
at the beginning Of the session that no
legislation was needed with reference
to the commissions; that the commits
sion was amply able to deal with every
phase Of the railroad and warehouse
business; that all it needed was to be
let alone. An Investigation was made
during the session, and hung fire until
the very last day, and this investiga-
ton did not develop any facts to bear
out what the Sentinel and other Demo-
cratic papers are saying Of it. The
administration has substituted Demo
Gratis for Republicans in the inspection
department as fast as it could be done,
and the prediction is safe one, that
by the end of two years the depart
ment will be in worse shape than Lind
found it when he took hold. = 5>5@~

HE newspapers of Minnesota al

THE newspapers of Minnesota are
just beginning to wake up and lam
it to the officers of the Thirteenth
regiment, who are responsible for all
this whining about coming home. It
isn't very likely that any great num-
Der of the officers are to blame, and in
due course of time we will learn who
they are. Minnesota was proud of this
regiment, and regarded it as the best
body OF men ever gathered in the State
for the purpose of war, and this opin-
ion will not be altered until something
more is known of the facts in connec-
-tion with the wailing to come home.
1t looks as though Gov. Lind, Col.
Reeve and the Thirteenth regiment
auxiliary had turned on the hose a
little prematurely, and tapped their
tear tanks without sufficient provoca.

CAPT. COGHLAN talked too much:
there is no doubt about that, but he
talked on a good subject, talked enter
tainingly, and talked just as the Amer
lean people were thinking. 1t was a
breach Of etiquette perhaps, and a
breach of discipline for him to do So,
and his reprimand was undoubtedly
deserved from the standpoint from
which it was given. 1t is all over now,
reprimand and all, and the American
people are just patriotic enough to say,
"Hurrah for Coghlan,'' even if he did
slop over.

branch of the legislature was placed in

THAT Georgia lynching was a dis
grace to the South and to American
civilization, but the crime which it
avenged was so black and horrible as
to almost overshadow the action of the
mob. One must have lived in the
South to understand something of the
provocation there is for such acts as
that committed at Newman. Savagery
of this kind is never justifiable, but
under conditions that obtain in some
southern communities it can readily
be understood how the human passions
that nothing short of death by mutila-
tion could satisfy them.

ALTHOUGH a jury has acquitted
Senator Quay of all the charges made
against him, the Democratic papers Of
the country and few Republican pa
pers refuse to accept the verdict, and
continue to treat the subject as though
Quay were guilty as a matter of course.
There is no question that Quay's in
fluence upon Pennsylvania politics
has been bad, but it seems rather
small to be convicting a man at a dis
lance when a supposedly honest jury
has declared him innocent. At any
rate he cannot be much worse than
that magnificent old fraud, John Wan
amaker, who was at the bottom of the
Quay prosecution.

WHEN the legislature adjourned it
left about 100 bills for the governor to
sign or veto, according as his judg-
ment dictated. Under these circum-
stances the governor becomes the
whole legislature, since it rests en-
tirely with him to say whether or not
an act passed by the legislature be-
comes law, there being no opportun-
ity to pass bill over his veto. It
would be very good thing to have a
Republican governor, particularly un-
der these circumstances.

SQUEALING FOR A CRUM


Now that St. Paul has landed the
census dictatorship for William r.
Merriam, Minneapolis is up in arms
for William Grimshaw for United
States marshal. Did you ever notice
that when there are couple of big
hogs in the pen the smaller ones have
to stand back and content themselves
with licking the trough after the big
fellows have filed themselves up.
Regardless of which party is on top,
the political map of Minnesota seems
to take in only Ramsey and Hennepin
counties when it comes to fat govern
ment appointments. It seems to us as
though, occasionally nubbin ought to
be thrown within reach of the country
shotes in order that at least they might
keep up a healthy growth. -Itchf field
