E.l From the Northwest


The Taylor's Falls Journal appreciates
the shlp-subsidy situation and the mo-
| t1ves of honest Mark 1t says:
! FIiends~of ship subsidies are preparing
Tor ahother attack on congress. Enough
Wcfkmen cannot be found now to build
tue Shlps ordered, and if congress offers
! any bonus, it should go direct to the la
| borers, for they are most needed
! Along Hanna lines the Farmers Leader
remarks:
Hahna announces that he is going to
Tetlre from politics at present. However
| leading politicians do not consider his
| declaration significant of the fact that
| ne has recognized himself as presiden-
tai candloate for 1904. Mark simply wants
to push 3 ship subsidy bill through con-
| SreSs before he retireS
The gist of the Sampson SchIey contro-
versy is neatly put in a few lines by the
Hutchinson Leader:
| There is no more unpopular man in
| America today than Admiral Sampson.
ana probably no more popular one than
Admiral Schley, and all because of envy
ana Jealousy. Had Sampson given Schley
credit for what he did in his reports in
| stead of vilifying him and trying to. mag
My his own achievements, he might to-
| day be occupying a place in the affections
and respect of the people beside that of
| Schiey and Dewey.
| The people about the head of the lakes,
| where the Duluth News-Tribune circu-
| lates, have been Disguised for full two
years by the scurrilous attacks made
upon Admiral Schley through the editor
1al columns of that paper. The clearer
| the evidence against the Sampson CLIQUE.
| the more abusive became the editorial eff
fusion. Apropos of this disposition Of
| the News-Tribune, the Duluth Tribunal
| observes:
| Some people are asking what the News
Tribune will do for subjects for editorials
| after the conclusion of the Schley-Samp-
| son investigation. Well there is this
view of the case: If the commission shall
| decide, as the indications now are from
| the evidence, that Schley did his simple
DUTY at Santiago our esteemed contem-
pofary can amuse and entertain itself
for a few weeks in abusing the court ,,
| Senator Hansbrough evidently feels as
/ polly did after the fight with the doc.
| brought on by her loql city. Whenever
| Hansbrough talks at all, he talks too. too
| much, and when he writes he does not
| improve upon his talk His recent effu-
sion on reciprocity has met with unani-
nous approval from his political enc
| mics and with universal condemnation
| from his friends. Says the Grand Forks
Herald
Senator Hansbrough's reciprocity views
| the Twin Cities, and the comments are of
/ such a character that the s .lator may
| be pardoned for being sorry that ne
| spoke.
! The Post and Record does not believe
| that the United States or its citizens
| should berheld up for tribute by Bulga-
| rian or Turk and makes a suggestion
with which we all agree:
It is not very edffying to see the gov
n md joh1 nixyi
nation engaged in diplomatic negotiations
| with a band of cut-throats. To be sure,
! the case of Miss Stone, whose ransom
| from Bulgarian brigands has been the
| subject of correspondence between this
! government and her captors, is one that
| requires sacrifice of dignity in order to
! save a life; and the circumstances pro-
| vide some condemnation for the abasement
| of our representatives to the rank of
| tribute bearers to a pack of outlaws.
When the lady shall have been rescued,
1 however, it is to be hoped that the Turk
/ iSh and Bulgarian governments, which
/ are primarily responsible for the outrage,
Will be made to feel the heavy hand of
| fetribution.
There is good deal of horse sense in
| the following comment on. the Boo r
| Washington Roosevelt affair from the
Martin County Sentinel. We are not pre-

| for thought in it all the same:
| From our view point it was entirely
| proper that the president should extend
| social courtesies to distinguished repre-
| sentative of the African race, In spite of
the fact that several hundred of the most
prominent ladies' of Minnesota, at Owa-
| tonna last week, openly and boldly
| slammed the door in the face of women
whose only offense is that their skin is
| of a shady hue. The president, in our
| opinion has as much right to choose his
| own guests for a private social function
as any other American citizen. Our only

which underlie his acts. His effort to

I doubtless commend itself to politicians
of certain unsavory school, but his sub
sequent performance. by which the
scheme was hopelessly ruined. sho.s
