the past year and half-duties which
the peculiar circumstances of his cleo
ton rendered singularly irksome and
trying, owing to the failure of any other
candidate on the Democratic ticket to
secure election-has marked John Lind
as a man possessing the highest and
noblest qualifications for the office. His
conduct has been of the most exem-
plary character, and his policy has been
ruled by the wisest conservatism. Every
official act has been controlled by a
sincere and intelligent regard for the
best interests of the state and the pock-
cts of the taxpayers. There has been
no prodigality or lavish display in any
direction. Governor John Lind has re-
manned the plain citizen-plain in habits,
plain of speech and plain in purpose
that he was before he was given public
Office"
The Globes tribute to Governor
Lind may mollify the feelings Of
the Democrats of the state to
some extent. They are certainly irri-
tated over the attitude of the Globe to-
ward the national ticket, but if it ceases
from attacking the principles Of the
national Democracy and refuses to sus-
tain the plutocracy it may yet retain
their friendship. Its action during the
campaign will be closely watched

The Mountain Catholic copy
rights the Paris correspondence of its
editor, Father Malone. Why doesn't
the Western Waterman do likewise with
the interesting letters of Father Phe-
Ian? AS it has not yet done so, we will
quote brief paragraph from the latest
letter of the Mound City priest as fol-
lows: Yesterday I started to enter the
United States building to see the latest
American papers. I was told by young
officer in the uniform of Uncle Sam that
the building would soon be honored by
the presence of King Oscar, of Sweden
and Norway, and until he arrived no
one was admitted. loosely remarked
that it was very odd that an American
sovereign should be excluded from his
own house and Scandinavian sover-
eign let in. Commissioner Peck over
heard the remark and came forward
with the most amiable and pressing in
vitation to "come right in,'' for under
the flag of the United States an Ameri-
can citizen yielded place to nobody, no
matter what his rank or title" l ex-
planned that was only testing, but he
would not have it so, and leading me by
the hand he presented me to Mrs. Peck
ana the distinguished company gath
thered to greet King Oscar.

The Canadian Freeman truly says:
Sixty thousand United States citizen
soldiers and sixty warships are in and
around Manila; all are there with the
avowed and determined purpose to
crush out the Filipinos' every aspiration
for freedom and independence, and if
they do not submit, to kill them off in
wholesale or retail fashion. This can
fairly be called dissertation of the
Declaration of independence. The tax
payers of the United States evidently
do not fully realize the illimitable ocean
OF trouble brought on their country by
the blindfolded policy of the Mckinley
administration. If they love their coun-
try and its institutions they will certain

Boxers Society have decided that the
only way to get rid of you is to kill
you. We are not naturally bloodthirsty.

The Chinese Boyer, in referring to
the missionaries, said that they create

dren about hell of eternal punishment,

accept for their own.

do SO is due to the protection of our
civilization, our philosophy, and our
morals. We number 100000, 600 human
beings, and who could withstand us if
we chose to assert Our power? Do you
think we are unconscious OF it? On
the contrary, we understand it only too
well. Let the white races of the earth
appreciate the fact that we and not they
are its masters. There have been
twenty so-called successful invasions of
China. But what has happened? Have
invaders dominated the Chinese? No.
The conquered have absorbed their con-
querors. All have become Chinese.
The very Jews who have come among
us have been absorbed by our race-a
thing which has never happened else

There is food for solemn reflection in
what the Chinese Boxer says. If the
so-called civilized nations of the western
world are bent on the partition of the
Chinese empire for sordid motives,
they may awaken that strange nation
from its letllargy and discover when too
late that they moderated the fighting
power of the Mongolians.

THE GLOBE HAS FLoppBD AGAIN.

its issue Of May Re the ST. Paul Globe
will not support the Democratic ma
tional ticket in the coming campaign.
Under the heading Of "A Crime Re-
peated" it announced its detection edi-
torially in last Saturdays edition. De-
spite its remuneration OF the financial
plank in the Kansas City platform it
claims that it always has been, and will
remain, Democratic paper. and then
declares it stands where it stood four
years ago-in opposition to Bryan and
IS to I. 1t knows very we'll that the
predominant issue in the Democratic
platform this year is not 16 to but
antagonism- to the imperial policy OF
the Hanna Mckinley administration,
and that in the event of Bryan's cleo
ton the financial status will not and
cannot be changed during his term Of
office. Why then does the Globe de-
cline to support the nominees of the
Democratic party?
Everyone knows that the Globe is the
personal organ of James J. Hill, the
president of the Great Northern rail-
road, and that his Chief hobby is the ex-
tension of American trade in the Orient
He has been harping on that topic for
years wherever he finds an audience pa
tient enough to listen to him. He is a
pronounced expansionist and is i'll
hearty sympathy with McKinley's pol
icy OF criminal aggression" in the Phil
ippines for the sake of trade. If neces-
sary, he favors standing army Of
100000 in the islands for the promotion
of commercial interests, and cares not
the snap Of his fingers whether the ma
tives are frecmen or slaves to the
American oligarcly OF wealth.
1t is because of this that he makes
the I6 to a pretext for making the
Globe an organ of plutocracy in this
years campaign. He may fear system
OF bimetallism ii the Democracy gets
into power, but his cherished hobby OF
finding all Eastern market for Ameri-
can merchandise is what causes J. J..
Hill to deny the support of his paper to
the national Democracy at time when
the life q@ the Republic is at stake.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press and the
Minneapolis Tribune, two staunch Or
gans of avaricious corporations, con-
graduated the Globe on its flop and de-
clared it deserved credit for "thc cour-
age and candor' with which it resumes
its attitude of four years ago on the
same subject. But the Globe has not
lost all its wits. In Mondays issue it
came out hatfooted for John Lind. The
two corporation organs aforesaid did
not say word about its Courage and
candor" for so doing, but are apparently
puzzled and find no language suitable
to characterize the strange antics OF
their contemporary. The Globe is sane
enough to know that it could not expect
the patronage OF the Democracy of
Minnesota if it threw its influence to
Van SAINT. 1t pays John Lind high
compliment and favors his renomina-
ton. In the course OF its eulogy it says
of him:
