an adopted child, Charles S. Slater
Now comes John Slater, nephew of
Sampson Slater, and Institutes suit to
set aside the will. He recently re-
moved to Glcnwood from South Dakota

THE New Orleans Campfire largest
and strongest in the United Confederate
Veterans, have made fine return to Pres
ident McKinley's overtures, in putting on
a Confederate badge, and recommending
that the rebel graves be cared for by the
Nation. They have unanimously and in
dignantly protested against Republican
President being invited to the Confed
crate Reunion at Memphis. To tell the
truth we cannot see what business any
President of the United States-Republi-
can or otherwise-has at gathering OF
men met to glorify what they did in try.
ing to break up the Government All the
same, the manner and unanimity of the
protest shows in an ugly light the survival
of malignant, unrepentant rebel spirit. II
shows the folly of any mushy Blue and
Gray Reunions. No Union veteran has
any business going TO the rebel ghost
dances until he is ready TO apologize and
ask forgiveness for what he did in defense
of the Nation.

that they had stopped there, rather than

THE political forecast points to the
probability of the development of a pretty
vigorous Anti-Administration faction in
the Republican party. The Republican
success was so overwhelming, and the
Democratic opposition in Congress and the
States is so feeble as to make this almost
inevitable. If the Democrats had some
really strong man in either House, or the
States, and well-defned policy, it would
greatly help TO hold the Republicans TO-
gether. But the Democrats have now
neither policy nor leadership, and the part
of criticism and of differing a; to policy
must be taken by the Republicans them
selves. Besides, plans for 1904 are already
being laid. While President Mckinley can
have no farther political hopes, those sur
rounding him have very lively ones, and
they are going TO try 10 use all the power
of the Administration to further them.
while some other aspiring ones ara going
to try equally hard to head them of. SO
we can look for some very interesting de-
yeiopments.

SECRETARY Root has approved of Gen.
MacArthur's plan of deporting the insur-
gent leaders to Guam, or elsewhere, where
they can be kept under guard. This
seems a practical and sensible plan. No
one wants to follow the Spanish plan of
executing those who have been guilty of
nothing worse than melting the natives
to revolt and possibly leading them in bat
tie. At the same time it will be costly
and troublesome TO keep them in cOnfine-
mcnt around Manila. If sent to Guam
they viii be out of reach of their people,
and powerless for harm. They can be
turned loose there, and allowed to do as
they please, the garrison being sufficient
to hold them in order and prevent their
escape. They may, like the convicts sent
10 Botany Bay, deTelop the islands re-
sources But this is hardly likely. They
are not built that way.

If IT were not for the same impulse
that makes man want to round out the
boundaries of his farm, and get rid of the
eyesore of other mems holdings projecting
into his own. there would be no motive in
paying a big price TO Denmark for her
little West India islands. Commercially
they are little value. The population of
the whole three-St. Thomas, st. John
and Santa Cruz-is less than 10000
nearly all negroes-and there never will
be much more. They cost Denmark more
every year than she gets out of them. But
St. Thomas has a magnificent harbor.
which becomes of great Importance as a
naval station in time of war, and we do
not want it in anybody eIse's possession.
1t would have been of very great advan-
tage to us if we could have controlled It
during the Spanish war. Denmark wants
to sell the islands, and as We will not CON
sent to let anybody else buy them. we
must in decency give her fair price for
them.

WHILE we are the most progressive
people in the world, one is constantly en-
countcring examples going to show how
intensely conservative we are. The mes
sage of the Governor of Connecticut con-
tains an illustration of this. lie calls
urgently for a reform in the Legislative
Districts. These were originally formed
| under the English system of giving repre-
sentation to places rather than population
and have continued virtually unchanged
down to the present time. The result is
that one-fifth of the population can elect
majority Of both Houses of the Legis.
lature. But the Governor is himself SO
conservative that he does not propose a
sweeping reform, and the basing of repre-.
sentation solely upon population. His
plan is 10 continue to give each Town one
Representative, with an additional one for
every 10000 people, and a similar eauali-
cation in the Senatorial Districts.

LET us commend ex-Gov. John Lind, of
Minnesota. There was st, Paul editor
who was a terrible thorn in the Govern
ors side, all during his official term. just
how it does not matter. He may have
said that at State banquets the Governor
ate with his knife, to the imminent danger
of Sitting his GubernatOrial throat. Or
that he received official delegations with
his cowhide boots resting on the top of
his mahogany desk, with great detriment
to the peace and dignity of the State of
Minnesota But what the editor may
have said is a mere detail 1t is sufficient
that it made the Governor burn in his
soul to lick him. and to lick him badly.
But he restrained himself while he was in
office. Angry as he was, his sense of fair
play suggested that to hit u man with lis
full power as Governor and Commander
in-Chief of the Army and Navy of Min.
nesota might instantly wipe the editor off
the face of the earth. 1t wouldn't give
the other fellow any kind of show. So
he waited until he had laid down the en-
blems of his Office but walked straight
from the Inauguration Of his successor to
the editors sanctum, and biffed him square
between the eyes. The editor cordially
responded, and but for the interference
of meddesOme bystandrs we should have

handshake. 1t is too bad that the by
ISLANDERS were SO OfIicious.
