THREsH1NG OLD STRAW.

The Commoner in its most recent issues
shows a marked disposition to discuss
questions Of political interest, which, the
b fears, have already come to pos
sess little more than academic interest.
Such disputed questions as to whether
Aguinaldo is a rebel or patriot have no
abiding interest. Yet Editor Bryan dis
cusses that question with great intent
ness and convincing force in favor of the
view that Aguinaldo is not rebel. and
never was.
There are number of dead issues in
connection with expansion which never
can be revived by Mr.. Bryan or anybody
else. Whether right or wrong we are in
the Philippines and in the other of our
new island possessions. The Republican
claim that we are there through the
Providence of God is not worth a mo-
ments consideration. Mr.. Bryan may
waste good white paper. and time more
or less valuable in considering it. It
avails not. There we are; and the only
practical question which this people are
called on to confront, or ever will be,
relates to whether we shall remain in.
and under what political conditions. or
whether we shall get out, and if we do,
how we are to get out consistently with
the national interest.
The operation of thresl1ing old straw
is not an especially entertaining one even
when two artists like Mr.. Watterson
and Mr.. Bryan engage In it. The Amer
lean people are looking to an end being

WORK WELL DONE.

, It should be a source Of great public
qualification that the spread of smallpox.
which was so general at one period during
the close of the winter, has, according to
latest reports, been seriously curtGiled
We owe this gratifying state of things
to the health officers Of ST. Paui and Min
neapolis and of the state in greatest
measure. With the breakup of the Ium-
Der camps, and with the familiar disposi.
ton prevailing among so large a class to
escape public surveillance or restraint in
every way in their power, there was seri-
Gus danger at one time that the Infection
would spread throughout the state
The most rigid quarantine helped ma
terially to prevent this result. But quar-
antine alone, however rigidly carried out,
would never have accomplished it. Only
the most strenuous efforts on the part Of
devoted pubic officials could have brought
about such a gratifying result. We here
in St Paul have learned something OF the
efforts put forth by our own health off
Gals and of the reckless and ignorant
conduct of number of persons
who had been brought into immediate
contact with the infection in their eff
forts to escape public surveillance.
There has been great expense incurred
by both state and counties in the efforts
to prevent a smallpox infection. But it Is
expense which has been incurred to grea1
advantage for the people Of the entire
state as well as for those of the localities
affected. It is probably true that too
much of the burden of the expense
has been imposed on the taxpay-
ers of the three great cities of st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. and that
the state at large ought to bear much
larger proportion of the expense. Any
provision of law which would promote
this result would deserve general ap-
prevail. But in view of the work accom-
plished there will be no disposition OH the
part Of any class of citizens to quarrel on
| the subject of the expense incurred

The present situation is fortunate, be-
cause it will make for peace. The bal
ance is now so complete that war on any
pretense would be mutual suicide There
is. however, one firebrand still burning
that threatens to spread into a general
conflagration That is the Mace DOMAIN
Instruction
The ambition of Russia to possess the
Balkan states is too strong to allow q
possible chance to escape Should the
Turk become involved in foreign do
nestle war, it will be his undoing. The
long-looked for departure of the Moham-
medan from the European continent will
be in order and the Russian will take his
place. This time England Will not in
terfere; the world will not again be as
tonished by an alliance of the court of
St James and the Sublime Porte in the
name of Christendom.
That the expulsion or the Turk from
Europe is anticipated as also the posi-
hility of repetition of the experience
Of the Crimea, is shown by the activity
of Russia in the trans-Caspian region,
where 10000 Russian soldiers are now
within a stones throw of Herat, the key
to India. Another possible firebrand of
war is the disruption of the empire Of
Austria-Hungary. How the continental
nations would regard the absorption of
the German speaking states of Austria
by the German empire is a problem that
will have to be solved, when presented.
All in all, it seems that Europe is on the
best peace footing it has had for years

ELECTRIC DISPLAYS PLANNED.
WOodmen Will Hang Thousands of
Lights in Streets.


The plan for street decorations during
the Woodmen convention was outlined in
a general way at a meeting of a COM
mittee, consisting Of DR.. C. F. Sweeney,
w. c. Dunphy, o. M. Acker, Andrew
Berg, L. T. Waters and j. Mcclure, last
night. 1t was thought that the decora-
tions of the buildings could be left large
ly to individual enterprise Of the meg-
chants and owners of buildings, to whom
the committee decided to extend an inVi-
tation to decorate. The emblematic coli
ors Of the Woodmen are red, green AMI
white, and the crossed axes the five
starred banners, the wedge, beetle and
AK, and other embems are susceptible
of many unique and attractive combina-
lions.
No arches are to be erected, and the
expenditure of the committees funds wi |
be confined TO electric displays. 1t is
contemplated that three festoons Of in
candescent lights shall be hung across
the street to each square on Sixth street,
from Sibley to Wabasha, and On Cedar
street. from Sixth street to the Audi
forum on Eighth street. Each of tue
festoons is to have fifty lights, and at
the street intersection festoons are to be
hung from corner to corner including
200 lights.
There will be an elaborate electric dis
play at the Auditorium, a prominent
feature being huge ak, fifty feet in
length, which will probably be placed
upon the Raudenbush building. A power
full searchlight will also be stationed at
this point. AT the Hotel Ryan there is
to be another electrical display.

THE New EUROPEAN ADJUSTMENT

THE New EUROPEAN ADJUSTMENT.
A century has passed since Napoleon
at the head of the grand army invaded
Russia entered the .AIuscovite capital and
established his military court in the
ancient palace Of the cars. This unwar
ranted invasion and the disastrous retreat
have been forgotten by both Russia and
France. But the Muscovite remembers.
as if it were yesterday, the events of the
Crimean war and The Frenchman has not
forgotten Sedan and the Illuminating
terms dictated by Bismarck within the
walls Of Paris. Russia looks forward to
the time when her guns viii command
the Bosporus while France dreams OF
the time when Alsace and Lorraine will
again be hers and the hated Germans
forced beyond the Rhine.
The alliance of England and Germany
was the signal for a rcadjustment Of the
diplomatic balance Of Europe Russia
and France are natural allies. Besides a
similarity in the national characteristics
do not overlap-indeed in no place do
they even come in contact The dynamic
energy of the great monarchy is a com.
plete foil-the complement of the static
civilization of the great republic. With
these dual alliances inevitable, the drei-
bund became obsolete. Italy, ever
anxious to escape from the onero,,s
duties imposed by that alliance, was
more than ready to join hands with Rus
STA and France. With Italy the question
of alliance is matter of protection not
aggression. The sphere of Italy's in
finence is SO circumscribed that neither
France nor Russia need fear her compe-
ntion.
On land. this triple alliance is wen

HAS GOOD LOCATION.
Speaking with reference to the Mime
sofa building at Buffalo, Col Rucker
stated that he considered it's location su-
perb and believed it would be as magnift-
cent as any other state will have. He
regards it as unfortunate that the legis-
lature did not act with greater dispatch
in making the appropriation, for it will
not now be possible to complete the
structure until early in June. But this
he believes will be soon enough to catch
the influx from Minnesota.
Your commissioners were very for
tunate in sec4Iing the location near the
manufactures building" said Col Ruck-
er. 1T will be impossible for a. y 1ne to en-
ter this building without coming in con-
tact with the great staple product of
Minnesota-flo1r

ter, Irvine, agricultural products, nd min

short, he gives glowing description Of
the plans for the Minnesota exhibit an
enthusiastically declares that the st9te
will reap valuable returns from it's par
tieipatfon in the great International ex
position. Close proximity to the scene
of the exhibition will give Mime sofa Pc
culiar advantages which other StatsS
further away cannot enjoy, and thus
the number of prospecters or settlers
ought TO be much greater in Minnesota
by reason of the exposition than in a.
most any other state.

number of walters attended to the wants
of the guests.
Seiberts orchestra furnished selections
during the evening, and the Unity quar-
tette contributed several vocal numbers.
w. J. Tompkins and w. H. Skemp also
lent much fun to the entertainment OF
the evening. Albert Schweizer, valient
