Senator Davis the following

Senator Davis the following
high tribute: ..' one will Won
der at hearing that the wires
are carrying scores Of messages,
to the bedside of Cushman K.
Davis in st. Paul. Il is the,
simple truth to- say that in the,
last four years nopublic man in
tie United States has done more
to endear himself to the Ameri-
can people or topromote respect
for American statescraft than
this senator from the northwest.
Cushman K. Davis was governor
of Minnesota Is years ago. He,
has been a ember of the United
States senate since 1887, but
only within the last four years.
haze the people. recognized the
fact that Mime sofa 4 is repre-
sented at Washington by a man
who must stand in history on a
line with Seward, Chase, Blaine
and Conkling. The great crisis
of our civil war brought to the
front men like Lincoln, Seward,
Stanton and Sherman who,
through peculiar fitness or ex-
traordinaIy courage, or pre-:
science as to conditions, were
able to grapple and handle prob
lens that might have puzzled
the craftsmanship of the world
In our latest crisis, whenstrong,
cou. ageous, intelligent and pat
riotic men were needed, Cush-
man K. Davis stood ia the front
rank and stood there for weeks
and almost alone. His mastery
of the problems of statescraft,
his sturdy convictions, his cour-
age in defending the right, his
strength in debate, his high
quality as a negotiator and d.
plomat, contributed to make
him not only a leader in his
party but a conspicuous Ameri-
can, trusted by all parties.
Those who are sending messages
of sympathy to him now remem-
Der the statesman as well as the
man. They rememberswhat be
has done and what he has so
we'll said to for ward the cause
of the nation, and from the pres
ident down to the humblest citi-
zen there is a solicitude that
will not be quoted until thewires
cal ry to the world the informa-
ton that Senator Davis has
passed the crisis of his Illness.
Minneapolis ournal: After all the
most significant and important de-
velopment with regard to the North
ern Pacific railroad, is not the ques-
ton as to whether Mr. Hill has az
quired a large interest and will exert
a large influence in the management
OF that property, but the fact that
have discovered it's value
and strength and are buying it very
literally. In fact, the transactions
in Northern Pacific stock have be-
come the sensation OF the stock
market. On an upward tendency
Boo, 600 shares were sold yesterday,
and the buying is not only in this
country but in Europe, and, appar-
emily, for Investment. The public
seems to have dicovered the fact
that a partial crop failure in a |
limited section of the northwest has
not destroyed the value of railroad
properties In this direction, but that,
on the contrary, the prospect was
never SO good for the Improvement
Of railroad properties in the north
west as it is today. 1t is difficult
to see what could seriously interfere
now with the growth and prosperity
Of this greet section, and along with
It the growth and prosperity of the
transportation lines which must
carry it's commerce in and out.
