MIR. RABCOCK,s DICTUNE.

Chairman Joseph w. Babcock, OF the
national Republican congressional COM
mittee, tells the Chicago Tribune that all
this talk about the existence of the APP
prehension among the Republican leaders
in Washington that the next house of
representatives Will be lost to their party
as the result of the passage Of the Puerto
Rican bill, Is purely and simply a Demo-
cratic campaign rumor. Mr.. Babcock Is
evidently whistling to keep up his cour-
age. There is a pretty general opinion
in Minnesota, at least, that several of the
present Republican congressman from
this state will be found among the
missing" after next November, and in a
state like Minnesota, which has hereto
fore been regarded as reliably Repub-
lican," this means something.
And, Furthermore, the reason for this
opinion, which IS not by any means con-
fined to Democrats. is that five of the
Minnesota congressman voted contrary to
the wishes and the will of the people on
the Puerto Rican bill. There does not
appear to be any other reason or cause
for the existence Of this opinion, either,
except that these five congressman have
persistently insisted that the people are
wrong and they are right as to this
measure; that they know all about it
and the people know nothing and compre.
bend nothing.
Mr.. Babcock might have spared himself
the trouble of adding that there is a
we'll defined belief that the passage of
the Puerto Rican bill will help the party
ly Ill informed, or else he is not adher-
ing rigidly to that which is mighty and
will prevail. He asserts that the bill is
not for the benefit of the trusts, "as the
demagogues say" but does the opposite
thing, and he promises that the people
will be made to understand all about IL
before long.
The "demagogues" referred to by Mr..
Babcock. the people of Minnesota will be-
pleased to know, include among their
numbers Senators c. *. Davis and KuutG
Nelson former Senator Washburn, State
Auditor R. C. Dunn and other distin-
guished Republican leaders, and these
gentlemen, according to Mr.. Babcock, are
to be made to understand the Puerto
Rican question as he understands it, be-
fore the campaign is very far advanced.
This means that the two Minnesota SEN
ators must stultify themselves and eat
their words. 1t also means that the two
Republican congressman, Heatwole and
Fletcher, who also voted against the bill,
will be taught that they didn't know
what they were doing and that their
party, as represented by Mr.. Babcock,
disowns them.
Poor Mr.. Babcock has much to learn.
but it is doubtful If he will ever learn it..
He Is not built that way.

TaE REPUBLICAN MACHINE.


Certain Republican politicians in Min
nesOta are very busily engaged in plans
to construct new party machine for
the state. Their object in doing so is
best known to themselves, but as none of
them is known to be entirely disinterest-
ed at any time It may be supposed that
they have some scheme in view for drag
ing their mediocrity from the obscurity
where it very properly belongs and fore
ing themselves, club in hand upon the
Republican state convention It is not
uncommon for politicians who have be-
come decayed to adopt such tactics. 1t
is usually their last expiring kick. Some
of these reorganizers were engaged in
similar work in 1896 in a vain effort to
defeat the nomination Of David M.
Ciough. Then, they were reformers who
sought to purify their party. Now they
pose as individuals unselfshly interested
in reorganizing their party, but scrutiny
of the list of names of those mixed up
in the deal will quickly remove any no.
ton that any of the outfit could under
any circumstances be unselfsh Or disin-
terested for minute. They are simply
working to secure a pull" as they al
ways have been, and If they are success
full there will be few more ward heeling
politicians floating with other scum on
the surface of Republican politics and
imagining they are the real thing.
Their plan is outlined by that exceed
ingly distinguished gentleman, H. G..
Hays, editor of the Sleepy Eye Dispatch.
In last weeks issue of his paper. The
reorganization contemplated provides for
a state central committee to be selected
by the delegates to the state convention.
and is intended to deprive the chairman
of that assemblage and the candidates on
the state ticket of any say as to who
shall conduct the campaign.
1t is scarcely probable that Capt 5. r.
Van SAINT, the gubernatoriaI residuarv
1egatee of former Gov. Clough, will be
caught hopping by this move. Editor
Hays connection with the anu-Clough-
Van SAINT movement two years ago may
lead he worthy tug-boat commander TO
imagine that it is a revival of the same
old agitation, as it probably is.
OF course, the Republican party must
have a machine in operation. The disas-
trous experience of William Henry Eus-
it's last campaign taught the lesson that
without we'll creased machine the Re
publican party in Minnesota does not
amount to much. Mr.. Exists chose to
ignore the machine and its managers.

known him not. IT,. ,nach:EeNwa!1h sssr.

Eustis did not use, the machine Of Merit
am and Nelson and Clough-the Bixby
machine, which was inaugurated by the
slaughter of McGill. and which stood
idle while Eustis made a Roman holiday
is still alive and effective. The redoubt-
able Bixby-the trusted agent of the ma
tlonal machine of Mark Hanna-is wait
ing the signal to set the machinery in
motion, and no hand but his understands
the mechanism. Van SAINT wants Bixby.
Hanna wants Bixby and Mckinley wants
Bixby. They ought to have him.

DRAWING A HERRING ACROSS
THE SCENT.


President McKinley's government is evil
IDENTIFY looking around for some nation
weak enough to bulldoze and, if possible,
to lick, for the purpose of diverting pub
lie attention from it's own sins and de-
ficiencies. So Turkey has been selected
as easy enough to tackle with safety and
dignity, and with a tremendous show of
fury and assertion President McKinley's
government has pounced upon the easy
going sultan. and waving certain small
claims for indemnity for damage and
loss suffered by American citizens some
years ago, blusteringly demands an i'm
mediate settlement, or else
Or else what? Why war or a backdown
/ by President McKinley's government
The claims thrust thus threateningIy
under the nose of the sultan are legiti-
mate enough, and any government de-
sirous to uphold it's dignity and protect
its people would have secured a settle
ment Of them years ago. But during the
ingloricus reign of Mckinley these claims
have been allowed to slumber, and no
steps have been taken to enforce them,
nor would have been but for the exigen-
cies of the political situation. Something
had to be done to distract the attention
of the people from the shortcomings Of
the government, and so 1t has been de-
cided to bluff Turkey.
There is not the slightest intention cf
going to war with Turkey. Nothing is
further from the thoughts and desires
Of Mckinley and his advisers than more
war They have their hands full as it is,
with the aggravating Tagals.
But suppose the sultan won't be bIulfed
and says. "Come on?' What then?
Where will Mckinley &c Co. be at? And
1t is by no means impossible that the sui
tan will not submit to the demands SO
peremptorily made upon him. He has a
| reputation to sustain as Commander Of
All the Faithful, and he is "all swelled
up" yet with his recent easy victory over
! Greece. In addition he is, as usual, in
financial straits.
Indications are not wanting that the
! sultan may retaIIate by making, or
| threatening to make, trouble for the
United States in the Philippine islands
The sultan of Sulu and his people, sew
eral millions in number, are fanaticaI
| Mohammedans. and to them the sultan's
word would be law, despite government
pensions from the United States such as
the Sulu chiefs enjoy. If the people Of
sulu took sides with the Tagals against
| the United States an army Of half a.
million men would scarcely be sufficient
| to successfully terminate the Philippine
war. The sultan of Turkey is aware of
all this, and, if he chooses to be ugly,
this latest campaign expedient may lead
President McKinleys government into
very deep water.
But wars and bloodshed, bluffs and
burdens for the people are an integral
part of policy of Imperialism. If the
United States is to be rempdeled, con-
stitutionally and morally, as Mckinley
! and his government desire the people
! must not mu.mur or be alarmed at all
