The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-03-14

terrible miseries In resisting the en-
croachments of a worldwide power.
Gen. Harrison knew better than to
come out frankly and strongly and to
say to everyone what he thought of Eng
| lands cruelty; it was in his mind con-
stantly; but he believed that an ex-
president should observe the same pro-
prietieS If speech which are observed by
president of the United States He
was at all times careful to say nothing
that could be misconstrued and twisted
into seeming disregard of the dignity
of the high office which he had once
held.
In his semi-conscious condition when
the sentinels of discretion and propr1ety
had gone from their posts and the mind
OF the man was wandering he began to
speak of the Beers and their hopeless
struggle for national life. His voice was
weak and trembling; his thoughts were
not connected; but the listeners bending
over him could hear words of pity for
the dying farmer republic.
