SWALLOWING THEIR mEp1c1xE.

Editor Charles s. Mitchell, of the Alex
andria Post-News, In a long editorial
discussing what he regards as the
Inevitable Nomination of Capt. L. S. Van.
SAINT as the Republican candidate for
governor, advises his Republican breth-
rem to come forward like men, stand to-
gether aud-to quote his exact words:
$50 let us ALL whose first choice IS hope
less, swallow our medicine And a BIT
ter draught 1t will be for some OF them.
The gallant captain is not as popular in
some quarters as he might be. The
friends Of e-politically-late 1amented
Eustis have not forgotten the part played
by certain friends and supporters Of
Capt. Van SAINT two years ago. The res
held at Mankato have not been entirely
forgotten, and the sting left thereby has
not yet ceased tc smart The disap-
pointed ambition of a certain statesman
Of the First congressional district-fer the
ambition of Editor Samuel Langum will
undoubtedly be disappointed If Van SAINT
Is nominated-nust be reckoned with,
and Mr. L.angum is as aggressive as he
Is unforgiving. He was never known to
kiss the hand that smcte him, and when
once he learns the source Of his woes he
will sally forth after scalps.
The fact IS the present harmonious ap-
pearance of the Republican party Of Min
nesota is merely superficial and Is but
the calm before a tremendous storm.
The beautiful confidence between brother
Republicans that prevailed some years
ago was sfivered at the state conven-
ton of 1898, and finally destroyed dur
ing the campaign which resulted IN the
sad downfall of William Henry Eusus.

WAYS and means committee. had an In
formal talk after the adjournment of the
house today relative to the Sulzer resolu-
ton calling on the secretary of the treas

arrived at today that at tomorrow

cred and Immediately referred to the
house. Changes are likely to he made
in the resolution, though, by the omis-
sion of two banks specifically named,
thus making the inquiry relative to all
banks. 1t Is understood also that per-
sonaI differences are likely to be avoided
In the amended resolution. In the form
thus reported back to the house 1t IS ex-
pected that the resolution will be passed
without objection, and any debate on the
question involved will be deferred until
the secretary of the treasury has an OPP
portunity to comply with the request for
information.

MORE Hall TO DEWEY.


Admiral Dewey is to have another mon
ument
When the omniscient city fathers of St.
Paul changed the name Of Laura avenue,

tory Of the street. which may have de-
tracted to some extent from the honor
which would have attached had 1t for
merly been named after real man. And
so, too when the city dads OF New York
the other day changed the name OF Elm
street to Dewey they needed not. even IL
they remembered, the slippery reputation
the elm has always had. But the monu-
ment that is now In course Of erection to
cousin George has no history that may
ever cause blush to mount to the cheek
of any scion of the house of Dewey.
When the sword presented by congress
has dulled from rattling In its peaceful
sheathe; when the bear cub presented by
the admiing populace of Bemidji has
eaten its head off, figuratiyely speaking,
and when the. crowded thoroughfares
named Dewey have been deserted for the
Escolta. there looking down on the
metropolis at the head Of Lake Superior,

capital, perchance Of the new state OF
Superior or even Duluth, If the memories

Dewey starts out without history or ceme-
teries. It's city council has never had a
Doodle scandal nor has a death from
malaria ever been known there. There

some Indianian brings 1t up there in such
high-geared aeroplane that the ozone
of the locality gets no chance to work on
him.
Dewey besides It's horizon and It's fu-

Dewey has a great future. The adj

Bill In the Morning Hour-Mr.
suIzer Gives House Republicans
Something to Think About.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The senate
evfnced disposition today to take up
the work OF the session IN earnest. and
while the sitting was only of little more
than an hours duration, a large number
OF important bills were introduced and
foundation laid for proceeding with The
financial bill by fixing the hour for be-
ginning debate on this measure for 2
O'Clock tomorrow.
The most notable event of the day was
protest entered by Mr. Hoar, OF
Massachusetts,. to the summary DISPOSE
ton of resolutions asking for information
about tho conduct of the Philippine war.
He indicated a purpose to demand con-
sideration for such measures, even at the
expense Of the finance bill.
The 10th inst. was named as the day
for the delivery Of eulogies In memory
of the late Vice President Hobart.
Mr.. Aldrich, chairman of the finance
committee. gave notice Of his intention
to call up the finance bill tomorrow, i'm
mediately after the disposal Of routine
morning business, provided there was no
objection.
The notice brought Mr.. Hoar to his
feet with an objection, which was based
upon the fact that several senators had
objected 10 the consideration of Mr.. Pet
tferews Philippine resolution. IT. said
Mr.. Hoar, there Is to be an absolute
suppression OF all requests for informA-
ton concerning the war with the FIJI
pinos, I shall object to the taking UP OF
other matters during tho morning hour,
when such resolutions are pending" He
called attention to the fact that four
senators had risen upon the presentation
Of the Pettigrew resolution to object to
consideration. This was done In the face
of the fact that It was the uniform Gus
tom Of the senate to allow resolutions Of
inquiry to go through without obstruo-
ton. He wanted to know II this policy
was to be continued.
The statement brought Messrs. Aldrich.
Chandler and Hawley to their feet. Mr.
Aldrich disclaimed any intention Of sup
pressing information concerning military
matters. and withdrew the notice to take
up the financial bill, latter the considera-
ton Of routine morning business" fixing
the time definitely at 2 o'clock.

The announcement OF the census bureau
that the population Of Seattle has In
creased ss.3z per cent. In the past ten years
and now stands at s0.Su is exceedingly
gratifying 70 the business men and all
those interested in the Ct VS. growth and
development
The Increase Is generally conceded phe-
nomenal; scarcely Ies3 So in view of all
the circumstances. than the great and
rapid growth during the decade preceding
the last federal count.
While the local enumeration was in
progress many estimates on the result
were made, some running to the extreme
guess Of n population Of 10000 or more.
These higher estimates may be attributed
TO the fact that many Seattle people have
come TO regard the numerous suburban
towns lying in close proximity to the city
as being actually within the corporate
limits and having a population TO be In
cluded in the count OF the city.
II Is generally believed that the popua-
ton OF Ballard. South Seattle and other
nearby towns closely identified with Se-
attic in social and commercial way is
sufficient, II they were actually parts OF
the city. TO swell the population near to
100000. II is to the hasty assumption that
