ADMIRAL REnEY.

The Asiatic Squadron of the United
States has come to be one of the most
important naval organizations on
earth The command has just been
transferred from Admiral Watson to
Admiral George G. Remey. The
latter is an old sailor, having made
quite record in the Union navy dur
ing the civil war, and he was also
very valuable to the navy in the re-
cent war with Spain. He was ap-
pointed to the Naval Academy from
Iowa in 1856. When the civil war
began he was commissioned a lieu
tenant and assigned to the gun
boat Marblehead, in the South Allan
tic plockading squadron, which vessel
was present at the siege of Yorktown
and participated in many engage
ments. After the war he was sub.
jected to the customary shifting life
of a naval officer in time of peace. In
1885 he was made a captain and
placed in charge of the Charleston
squadron of evolution. The many
changes occasioned by the Spanish
war made it possible for him to be,
come an admiral, and he now sue
ceeds to the command of the most
important squadron Of the navy,
having under his direction feet Of
more than thirty vessels which be-
long to the Asiatic station. His re-
cent services have been as command
ant of the navy yards at Portsmouth,
N. H. Admiral Remey is 81 years Of
age, and will be subject for retire
ment on the 10th of August, 1903.

The great question with the repub

The great question with the repub-
licans in the sixth and seventh dis
tricts is not so much the man as the
condition. Both Morris and Eddy
are able men and good republicans.
While their votes on the Puerto Rican
question were unquestionably con-
trary to the will of their constituency,
that is not sufficient reason for cast
ing them aside for new untried men.
But this question of fact, Of condi-
ton, must be met. Both districts
are close, so close that change Of
one or two votes in a precinct will
elect the other fellow. If Morris and
Eddy are nomination they will have
to make defensive campaign in
which they will not have the support
of the party, campaign in which
silence will be the only answer of
those who go on the stumpin defense
of those worthy gentlemen. A pretty
spectacle that would be to see some
of the speakers of the party advocat-
ing the Puerto Rican tariff along
with Morris and Eddy and their
friends and others advocating free
trade along with Senators Davis and
Nelson. What an opportunity for
democratic vote-making. Then the
question in these upper districts is as
to whether it would not be more con-
dusive to harmony and success to
nominate new mon who are in SYM
patty with the people Oh this question
and who have also the ability to
represent the district and the party
with credit and honor at the national
capital. We have many such men in
the party and it is matter that we'll
needs and demands the best and
closest study of the leaders of the
party irrespective of appointive office
holders and prospective successors.-

EDDY'S LAST DITCH.

The Times made very bad break
this week by trying to advance Mr..
Eddy's interests by jumping on the
editor of this paper. We have OPP
posed the denomination of Mr.. Eddy
as a matter of principle, for reasons
which we have fully explained in the
columns of this paper. At no time
have we called attention to any I'M
desirable appointment, but have been
inclined to draw the mantle of chart
ty er any undesirable appointments
for the reason that the congressman
cannot appoint everybodY's first
choice. However if the friends of
Mr.. Eddy wish to open up the ques-
ton of Mr.. Berkin's appointment, let
it come. If it is amatter Of cut and
slash, the editor of this paper is fully
Informed and will give ont anything
and everything that we may find
necessary.
However, we have no desire to
reply to personal vituperation with
the same weapon, but would rather
see this discussion carried on in such
a manner that there Ma remain no
permanent wounds after the conven-
ton meets.

The fight in committees of the
House over the proposition to tax
oleomargarine out of existence is
growing hotter and hotter as the days
go by says a Washington dispatch.
The Republicans are committed to a
bill increasing the internal revenue
to 10 cents pound, and this, it is
c intended, would put an end to tn 9
industry. The dairy interests Of the
country are behind the bill, while the
manufacturers of oleomargarine have
enlisted in their behalf the cattle
raisers of the southwest and the cot
ton seed oil producers of the South.
B 9TH of these industries are directly
interested in the continued prosperity
of the oleomargarine makers. A
delegate of prominent Texans
representing these allied districts,
arrived in Washington recently to
join similar delegations from the west
in a protest before the House com,
mittees against the imposition of the
proposed tax.

THERE are ABOUT 500 voting pre-
cincts in. this congressional district
Now Eddy's majority was between
5000 and 1000 two years ago, so that
a change of three or four votes in
each precinct to the Democratic
candidate will elect the latter, if
Eddy is renominated. But some
people say that this Puerto Rican
matter doesn't make any difference.
If yon think that just get out and
talk with the common people and you
will find them stirred up in way
that is new to the politicians.

MORE money per capita, more gold,
more silver and a larger total of
money in circulation than ever before
is the summarization of the "Circula-
ton Statement" issued by the Treas
ury Department for April l, 1900
For the first time in the history of
the country the per capita circulation
has crossed the $26 line and the year
1900 carried the total for the first
time past the 2 billion dollar line,
while the amount of gold and gold
certificates in circulation is larger
than at the corresponding date of
any previous year.

The Mower County Transcript is
not interested on the outcome Of the
contest for the Republican nomina-
ton for congressman in this district,
yet it has the following to say regard
ing the short sighted legislation
which Congressman Eddy is trying
to get through congress at the present
time:-
eve hope that Congressman Eddy
will be shelved in his attempt to put
through his iniquitous bill authoriz-
ing the cutting of ten million feet of
pine on the diminished Red Lake and
White Earth Indian reservations each
under the supervision of the Indian
agent. The passage of the bill
means more Indian pine land scan
daIs in this state and no one is bene-
fitted excepted the lumber barons
who are behind the bill. What pine
is left on our reservations should be
turned over to the management OF
the division of forestry, who would
mark honestly what pine was mature
and protect from wanton waste the
young timber"
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1900-04-21

IF Congressman Eddy is SO proud
of his vote on the Puerto Rican tariff
bill, why don't he claim to be the
author of the bill. The poor thing
wants father.

No strength will be gained for
Eddy by slandering Mr.. Valentines

done more for the district and is in

In good condition she is sweet and lovable'

taken by them on the Porto Rican

as Minnesota is entitled to four deleg-

It is announced that Hon. L. 0.
Foss will not be a candidate for re-
election. Mr.. Foss is reported to
have so stated in reply to direct
question. This bit of political news
will cause much surprise and regret
among his many friends, who recogn-
ize in him a man of fearless honesty
and acknowledged ability as law
maker. Mr.. Foss has served this
district three terms and steps out
with an enviable record. It can be
said of him that he always performed
his duty as he saw it, whether with
or against the majority, and as a
speaker on the floor of the house he
became power which had to be rec
koned with. So far none have pub
licly expressed desire to step into
his shoes, although it is well known
that there are several who regard the
nomination with envious eyes,

The political situation is about as
follows: The democrats want the
republicans out, the republicans want
the democrats out and the populists
want them all out, while the socialists
want them all in hades. None of
these changes would help the farmer,
the business man or the wage Garner,
and a good deal of energy, physical,
mental and financial vitality will be
wasted this year for no good purpose.
The whole question is entirely one of
office holders and Office seekers, in
which the int rests of other people is
altogether foreign. The greatest
trouble seems to be in the fact that
there is too much party spirit doml-
nan, whereas the first consideration
should be, is the party right as relates
