The best political contribution we
have recently noticed in the Willmar
Gazette appeared in it's last issue un-
der the head OF 'Nelson's Speech. Z"
it was written by editor Harris of the
Minneapolis Democrat. Probably it's
appearance is not to be credited to
Editor Crosby's desire to be fair, how
ever, but was an awkward mistake.
But it is good reading and careful
perusal will not harm the Gazette
readers.

MCKINLEY INDICATED.
1t Was Not His Original Desire to
Take Philippines.

Aggressive Attitude of Germany Left
No Other Alternative.
The Washington Star, pronounced
champion of President Mckinley and
a Jealous advocate of his Philippine
policy, last night published the fol.
lowing:
It has been shown by confidential
communications to the senate. and it
is claimed, can be fully sustained by
most careful examination of the rec
Ords, that the administration was
forced reluctantly to assume the re-
sponsibility of extending the sover-
eignity Of the United States over the
Philippines. The instructions to the
Paris peace commission, which were
read in the senate in connection with
Senator Davis speech in executive
session Tuesday: fully disclosed both
the absence of a desire for territory
and the circumstances which impelled
the administration to go forward.
It is not deemed desirable for the
government to make any public decla-
ration that the interests and peace Of
this government were menaced by the
readiness of Germany to involve it,
self in the settlement of the future Of
the Philippines if this governmental had
slackened its grasp to the least degree,
nor that the friendship of Great Brit
ain herself might have been sacrificed
by our SO handling the question as to
leave the Philippine islands or any
part OF them in position to become
an object of contention among the
European powers. %.. 49,
n The above statement comes from an
administration official and therefore
proves cOnclusivejy that the United
States and Germany came near en-
gaging in war in the fall of 1893. ~
Mckinley vindicated! By what?
If he didn't want the islands but was
forced to take them in order to pre-
serve the friendship of John Bull it
seems that the latter gentleman is the
parsonage. Or. does it
mean that the attacks of the ''antis''
vindicates Mckinley by showing he
was right when he didn't want the is
lands. ..@ 1. h =. s.. ri: i. .szTT5
But oh, what a shock this disclosure
must MI be to the advocates Of expansion.
They have shouted from the housetops
that Mckinley showed remarkable
sagacity in grabbing the islands, be-
cause they were so rich, 90 valuable
for commerce, 50 important for coal
ing stations, in fact such q veritable
gold mine that their acquisition was
the Il. y most q rem ark able stroke Of state
manship 1l ever shown BY Nick Kinley.5

want the islands, didn't see their.

A New Boxing Law for Iowa.

DIES MONIES. Jan. 22.-The last State Legis-
lature passed a bill against prizelghtinG. but
It has been practically imperative because
IL has permitted exhibitions OF sparring
and boxing skill. Several minor fights
have taken place in and near this city
and Gov. Shaw In his message TO the
Legislature recommended that a law be passed
TO prevent such occurrences IN the. future. A
bili to that effect WAS introduced to-day by
Senator q, W. Lister OF Osceola county. IL
proyides that any wo persons who agree and
wilfully fight or boz at asticufs. or Engage IN
any public sparring match or boxing exhibi.
ton with or without gloves OF any kind. and
whoever aids. assists. or attends such ex-
hibitions or fights. and any owner or lessee
OF any grounds, lots. buildings. hall or
structure OF any kind. permitting the same to
be used for such an exhibition, shall be deemed
guilty OF a misdemeanor and fined not more
than $500 or Imprisoned in the county, latl not
more than $50 days; An exception Is made
in the case OF ath. etic clubs and gymnasiums,
such receiving permission to hold exhibitions

OF the Board OF Directors. held In the afternoon.
A. q. Spalding retired from the presidency OF

In its effect upon the trade. A few who pretend
to wiseness. however. said Il told YOU So"
The announcement was accompanied by the
statement that A.. q. Spalding. who organized
the company and was elected only a few
months ago, had retired In conformance to a
determination formed long ago to take the
leade and keep it until 1t was In good
working order and then retire in favor OF some
one completely identified with bicycle manu-
~facture. S~paldIng will. however. retain his In.
terest IN the company and continue on tho
Board OF Directors. The only other change
made was the election Of Col. Albert A. Pope to
the Craftsmanship OF the board and the Execu-
tive Committee,
Messrs. Coleman. Spalding and Pope. who
are the recognized leaders Of the company.
