We find an editorial of remarkable
finish and excellence In the New York
Evening Post headed War as it Is"
1t is written with the skill and force
that often distinguish the best work in
that old New York daily. While we Of
ten see opinions by it We disagree with
incontinently. we often see views pre-
scented in the best English with which
we are in hearty sympathy. Here is
an extract from the Aforesaid editorial,
and Major Mckinley might read it and
the whole editorial with profit:
IF Providence had determined once
more to teach forgetfuI men what war
really Is, the lesson could not have
been more forcibly set than in what we
now e going on in South Africa,
China, and the Philippines. The squalid
and ignoble warfare in which the lead
ing nations of Christendom are now
engaged is enough to remove the Last
CLEAN of romance, the last Illusion, the
last bit of glamour from what is at best
a horrid necessity, what at worst is
he'll let loose on earth. War;, as our
revival Of young barbarians has pic
tured 1t, is a sort Of gloriied football
match"

Mr.. N. w. West, in Raleigh Times
correct what we write of young Geo
Lovejoy. He says:
George Steptoe Lovejoy was lieu.
tenant colonel of the 18th infantry
Daniels regiment, and died in Raleigh
from disease, not from wounds"
We went to school with George who
was a bright little fellow then. We are
glad to see the correction Writing
hurriedly and while sick of the long
ago. we see NOW that we had in ou1
mind the fate of another noble boy
who was killed in one OF the bat
ties around Richmond. Theodore. son
of our dean friend of a half a century,
the late Rev. DIR. Charles F. Deems
We believe the young martyr for liber-
ty and independence is buried in VIII

Young Lovejoy was a kinsman of this
writer.

OPINIONS OF THE MESSAGE.

McKinley'S message is of course
lauded by the republican press. We
have noticed but one democratic paper
as praising 1.-THE Atlanta Constitution.
Most Of the ADLER democratic papers
speak out without wool in the mouth
The caution, the non-committalism of
the president is apparent to many. The
Philadelphia Record says "he will enter
upon the last Jour years of his admin
i~stration with as few absolute commit
tails as possible 1t Is in many re-
spects devoid of decision and is really
a "colorless" performance as the Co
lumbia State holds. That ably edited
paper in it's review of it strikingly and
felicitously says
I'VE give the presidents message am
pie praise when We say that it might
ave been written by h chief clerk of
his private secretary without undue
strain upon the mentality of that to US
unknown individual. 1t is the most
colorless n p~erfunctory annua mes
sage which has emanated. from the
White House in this generation and it
is not easy to find in it a point suff-
GENTLY salient to goad to controversy.
- AiSo$ ~ - AA4O1 = III Oil SASOp-
tional degree even for a production of
William Mckinley, by a nerveless and
SpinelesS incertitude, a fiabby shrinking
from positive positions. 1t is little more
than a clerkly abstract of the reports of
Sub-Oiffcials."
That is fair correct judgment, incisive
and caustic. 1t is the best written and
most pointed discussion of the plati-
tudinous and Opaque document that we
have seen. While by no means compli-
mentary, it is not partisan out just and
applicable. One more extract we take
from the editorial. 1t says
The president is non-committal about
China, nOn-committal about South
Africa, non-committal about the Alas
kan boundary, non-committal bou
trusts, non-committal about Cuba and
Puerto Rico, and largely non-committal
about the Philippines. His words as to
the latter are as smooth as butter and
may serve as al unguent to the minds
of those who, like himself, would pre-
fer to AVE red-handed spoliation ar
rayed in the white raiment of benevo-
lence."
After reading the message the At
lanta Journal concludes that sit may be
accepted as a reliable ogr of re-
publican conduct after the, fourth of
next March, when it's radical element
will be in complete and irresistible con-
troll of the government That is no
doubt the correct expectation fully
justified by all that has happened until
now. So certain is this that Hanna is
the engineer now running the republi-
can train in the senate. He is McKin-
ley's chief cook in the congress as he
has been his controller and boss in the
last five years. The Philadelphia Re-
cord turns on a little light ait this point
in saying:
Therefore he will not tolerate the
idea that there a be n failure of
the ship subsidy scheme, which would
involve he government / nan expen-
diture Of $270, 600, 900. There is reason to
think that the republican manager
pledged himself to push this bill
through congress as a means Of raising
his enormous campaign fund and for
the delivery Of certain thousands of

CUTTING DOWN REPRESENTATION

Mr.. Crumpbacker, of Indiana, intro
duced a bill in the house to reduce the
representation of Louisiana, Mississip-
pi, North and South Carolina by
Is votes, upon a basis Of 1SS, 900 popula-
ton ito a district. This infamous bill
will deprive North Carolina of four
members of the congress. That it is an
outrage plain, deliberate and malicious
no man of sense and honesty will deny.
The plan of this fanatic from Hoosier-
dom is that all the negroes In the foul
states are or will be disfranchised-an
idea that no sane or Informed man can
hold. Force bills were tried by the Nc
Kinley crowd for years to give control
to the republicans. Now to humiliate
and OBJ and punish these states for un-

A RUNNING REVIEW OF THE
MESSAGE.

As we wrote yesterday there is 50
a mere reference to all h topics and
opinions thereon would require large
space n many editorials. Governor
Russell or some one else has said that
1.-THE people forget what has happened
I'M two years" 1t is certain that the
events Of two years of much Importance
disappear from the ~recolleotions of
many, and politicians are lauded for the
act of today while their baseness a little
while back is buried in the deep ocean
OF oblivion. McKinley's record for ten
years should be carefully prepared for
the enlightenment and warning of the
American people.
: In the message you will find this:
1T will be the duty as I am sure it
viii be the disposition of the congress to
provide whatever further legislation Is
needed to insure the continued parity
under all conditions between two
forms of metallic money. silver and
gold"

complete control now. but it looks as
II it might continue in power indefinite

pelhng means resorted to in the Nov
eanber election can perpetuate h grip
OF the most venal of parties TO the time
when the bottom will fall out 1t has,
therefore, full power TO fix and fasten
the currency as it willis. 1t is to be
hoped that the financial question will
mot again disturb the country and au-
xhorize the threats and clamor for a
panic for a long time. Stability and
satisfaction are needed in this corn-
try. 1t has been shown, there are hun
sdreds of moneyed men who will create
a panic scare amy time to save an cleo
ton Let the republican party so dea
at once with the question as to shut OUT
all possible cries from designing dema-
gogues for years to come. The presi-
dent likes what the national banking act
has accomplished. Many small banks
have started up and the increase in cir
culating notes is given at s77, 1856. $50
The president recognizes the response
ehfty OF his party. and says that it 'is
committed to such legislation as will
better make the currency responsive to
the varying needs Of business at all
and in all sections"

The report as to growth of cotton
milling in North Carolina is certainly
quite satisfactory for this last year Oh
a great century. Thus far twenty-siy
cotton mills have been chartered and
ten knitting mills. The capital invest
ed is So, 567 900. Let the work of devel-
opment continue. In 1901-the begin
ming Of h twentieth century-there
ought to be mo- less than $4,000, 900 ready
for cotton milling investments. Why
not? Charlotte with thirteen already
is to add a fourteenth to cost 500, 900

The production OF gold for some years
has been large. 1t fell of this year be-
cause Of the war In the Transvaal.
Mining was interrupted and the fell
lows who rushed into b lands of the
Boers for h precious metal were "es-

WILLIAM T.. SARGENT.

William c. Sargent, the candidate
for sheriff on the Republican ticket,
was nominated for the third time at
the Republican County Convention
in this city June 81. Mr.. Sargent
was born in Boston forty years ago
and came to Duluth with his par
ents in 1869, and has been connected
with almost every enterprise con-
nected with the growth and welfare
of the city since he left school in
1876. Mr.. Sargent's first work was
for the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, when Mr.. A. S. Chase was
agent. He worked there for three
years. Was fuel superintendent of
for the old Duluth Blast Furnace
company for two years and then en-
tered the lumber, log and fuel bus
mess on his own account, which
business he kept up directly and
indirectly for sixteen years. From
1886 to 1895 he was manager of the
Lakeside Land Company, and many
beautiful homes, parks and drive
ways in the eastern part of the city
attest his ability in that line Mr.
Sargent is an active member of the
Duluth Boat Club and is member
of several other clubs in the city
all of the Masonic orders, the indie
pendent Foresters, the United For
esters and other fraternal orders
Mr.. Sargent has always been a lib
era1 giver, and when the panic came
he lost, with thousands of others
practically all of his property and
found himself heavily in debt.
It was then he turned to politics
and through the kindness of his
many friends secured what he want
ed, the Office of sheriff, in 1895. He
has filled this office. acceptably to
