ON THE ANxI0Us SEAT

Our amiable and plastic president has
had anything but a pleasant home-com-
ing. The long delayed decision CT the
supreme court for which 50 much had
been sacrificed and which was hailed
with such screeches OF delight by the
administration partisans, is but the fruit
that turns to ashes at the touch. The
journey through the country from. which
so much was eXpected-the journey
which was to enable the president to
mould the public mind to the policy or
the Observation-Disclosures brought to an
unfortunate close. There were express
sions of sympathy for the sufferer, ad-
miration for the husband, cheers for the
president, but opposition for the imperial
policy.
He is home now, but there Is no rest.
The work of years has been overturned
by the supreme court in one case, while
a doubtful sanction is given to his policy
in another The great question of citizen
ship Is left open with the Indicators that
the constitution will be upheld. In this
plight the president has called for coun-
sci. He has requested a council Of war
with the various heads of Imperialism,
the secretary of war, Senator Spocner
and Senator Plat. Why he omitted
Senator Foraker is not definitely known.
From these men he will seek light to IL
lume the chaotic darkness about him.
Like the man fighting with the bear, he
would gladly let go of the colonial prop
Osition if he could. But this he cannot
do. He went back on his pain duty"
and tackled the beast at the behest OF
the trust interests, and he must go on
with the fight, though the bear squeeze
him to a jelly.
The cuckoo newspapers which cackled
iii we may use that express ny so Justify
when they thought the Gu It decided that
the constitution did not follow the ~ g.
should come to the rescue Of their chief.
He is in sore need Of advice as to his
plain duty"

Apropos the recent discovery made at
Washington by a correspondent that ''all
the opposition in his own party has been
withdrawn" the following excerpts re-
lating to Gov Van SAINT, taken from one
of the strongest Republican organs of the
state might be produced:
"a great many Of the readymade edi-
torials sent out by the Republican state
! central committee praise the governor.
God know he needs something Of that
sort, but the voters next year will give
him what Paddy gave the drum"
Peacock Van SAINT won't be in it next
year. and it don't make much difference
who runs against him either"

INVENTOR OF THE MONITOR.

e. P Watson, in the Engineering Maya
zine for June.
Capt Ericsson had his friends and his
foes, as all mankind have; the former
when loyal-he rewarded richly, but for
the latter, he simply defied them for all
time. Il do not care what you do, SIR"
he said in my presence to one who op-
posed him; 81 live for the truth, ST. and
[ will have what is right or nothing"
and he struck his fist down on a heavy
rosewood table with such force that a
large cut-glass inkstand jumped up about
six inches.
At a subsequent interview I had with
him, in connection with the Monitor,
Capt. Ericsson came into the room in
the stormiest of humors. where you sit
now, SIR he said "a damn rascal tried
to make me pay hush money; he said
ne was. the son of a clergyman, was a
reporter upon the New York --. and
knowing that a leader was about to be
published Unfavorable to the monitors
he thought it best to show me a proof:
his principles would not allow him to take
what he considered an unfair advant9 ge
Of his position. Do you know what I sid
to that Internal scoundrel sir?" (tower-
ing over me like an incarnate spiiit Of

case it will cost $1,000 to suppress it the

nothing about my vessel sir I five for
the truth, but you have no truth. Get

WILL ASK FOR A REHEARING.


It is now definitely settled that the
attorneys for the various plaintiffs in
the insular cases win unite and move for
a rehearing in the Downes case. What
the grounds will be cannot yet be deter
mined, but before the court convenes
in October the plan of campaign Will be
formulated and the forces ready for
action. 1t is evident that the court Is
diFgusted with itself, only one judge,
Justice Brown, being satisfied with the
decision. The other eight will be glad
to grant a rehearing if there is any pros
pect OF securing an agreement on an
opinion in which a majority will be able
to concur. From a careful reading of
the opinions, as far as they have been
published, it is very evident that neither
Justice White nor Justice Gray will go
to the length indicated by the argu-
ments Of Justice Brown. They are not
satisfied with the line of reasoning fol-
lowed by Justice Brown by which he
clothes congress with extra constitution
al powers. 1t is evident to the balance of
the court that if this decision be allowed
to stand the door Of congressional ag-
erosion is wide open. Even the admin
istration is appalled, at the possibilities
for mischief which lie within this revo-
lutionary doctrine. Under this policy of
Imperialism the insular possessions will
become subject to the will of congress
and congress alone. The inhabitants and
the material interests of the islands
would not be safe in their rights for
more than two years at a time. A
change cf congress would work a change
in the colonial policy This congress
might follow out the dictates OF this
administration and refuse the citizens of
Porto Rico constitutional rights. The
next congress might repeal ali such laws
and extend the constitution over all the
territory under the flag. This revolution
airy phase of the decision must appeal to
the supreme court. The necessity of a
check on congress must be preserved, if
for no other reason than to maintain sta
b1ity.

PEN PICTURE OF NELSON.

Boston Transcript
There Is no more placid, benevolent
looking man In congress than our Scan
dinavian senator, Kuute Nelson, of Mn
nesota. With his rudy complexion, s
neatly trimmed whisk rs and little,
twinkling gray eyes. he is the picture
of rural cOnteutment. He IS short,
thick-set and wears uniformly a turned
down collar and a black Prince Albert
coat. He is the proper figure to pass
the collection plate in a church with 10
mortgage.
When things 80 to suit him. Mr.. Nelson
is amiable and mild-voiced as the south
wind; when they begin to go otherwise
he is-well, decidedly different. Since he
has been in Washington ne has been de-
mure enough. but politicians from the
Northwest tell of exciting things which
happened when he was governor Of Min
nesota. The clerks and secretaries who
were about him at that time were almost
in fear Of their lives for they doubted
il he would stop at anything
They tell you how at one time Ia
threw off his coat and started to pitch
a man out Of the window being pre-
vented only by the intervention Of Tams
BiXby and others who were present.
If a newspaper printed an article disap-
proving Of him or something he had
done, ne would vent his ire on the office
furniture. If a messenger or clerk had
the temerity to enter the room at such
a moment. he afforded a better target
than the chairs and tables, and would
have to stand against the wall and take
a running fire Of Language" each dis
charge being louder and more expressive
than its predecessor. When the gov
ernor's English vocabulary ran low he
would recall a few Morse phrases-large,
octagonal ones such as Thor employs
when he hits his thumb with his ham
mer. They tell of a cOlOred messenger
who Numbered into the sanctum on one
of these inauspicious occasions; when hs
emerged his hair was straight and his
skin was bIeached to pale yellow. In
his Baresark rage Nelson seems possess
ed Of all the rude energy OF his NOTwe-
gian ancestry, and in his gasticulatlons
uses both feet and fists thTashing around
like an epieptic windmill.
1t has always been a mystery to his
friends that the senator capped his career
in the Civil war by being captured. They
say that if he had just cut loose and ex-
pressed himself freely In his favorite
vernacular, no foe would have dared 10
lay a hand upon him.
Senator Nelson was born in Norway
fifty eight years ago. He came to Amer
lea when he was six years of age and
lived for year IN Chicago. Then re
migrated to the Northwest Ee studied
law and was admitted to the bar in 1867.
He was served in the Minnesota leglsla-
ture and held a number Of state eXecu-
tive offices. He was a member of the
federal house Of representatives for sew
eral terms. and entered the senate IN
1880 He is a man Of tremendous forces
and, all things considered, very great
ability

Hon. Page Morris, of Duluth, congress
man from the Sixth district, was in the
city yesterday. a movement IS now on
foot to have, another federal judgeship
created for the Duluth district and in
case this is done it is considered a we'll
assured fact that the appointment will
go to Mr.. Morris. In that event he will
not be a candidate for reelection to con-
gress, but will content himself with jul
dicial honors.

MINING EXPERT SAYS TESTS SHOW
AN0fkA ORE CLAIMS VALID.

Prot; Winchell, of the state university,
VINO declares that the iron ore recentiq
discoyel ed on the farm of A. J. Maniey.
at Anoka, is of an inferior quality, and
not worth the trouble of mining. has
found an opponent in the re son of Frank
L. Julian, mining expert in the employ
OF one of the largest mining corpora
lions in the country
Mr.. Julian says that he cannot ac-
ccount for the conclusion reached by
Prof. Winchell, as assays made dispute
his contentious of bog iron. The tests
he says, show 904 per cent of silica. II
per cent manganese, less than per cent
OF phoSpho- us. and about 50 per cent high
grade iron. The absence of phosphorus
is phenomenal.
Mr.. Manley, the owner of the props rtv.
says certain concerns in the northern
part OF the state are ready and willing to
pay money down to develop the ore beds
ana also to purchase the land The ore

MINISTER WI Ar GRANTS TOMB.
That was graceful tribute which Min
lister Wa paid to the memory of Gen.
Grant during the memorial services in
New York. 1t was a graceful thing, too,
on the Part of the veterans to invite
this representative of the Chinese en-
pre- to act as orator of the day and
address the thousands gathered at the
great heros tomb to do honor not only
TO his memory, but to the memory of the
thousands who died in that struggle for
human rights.
Is it not a rebuke to those who have
in their self-complacent egoism assumed
that the Chinese people possess no rights
which the so-caHed Christian nations are
bound to respect. that representative
of this desp sed people should be chosen
to discuss the attributes of our nations
dead? Minister WI spoke of the high es-
TEEN in which Gen Grant, the citizen,
was held by all nations; of the triumphal
progress of this plain man of the people
from nation to nation around the world.

NothinS seems to be quite as interest
ing TO state politicians just now as the
proposed extra session of the legislature
Inc last session was shortened ten days
lor the express purpose of having an
extra session called in February, 1902, at
Whlcn time the state tax commission
would make it's report This was deter
mined upon only after Gov Van SAINT
had been consulted and had given his
promise that ne would stand ready to
call tbs extra session
Notwithstanding the absolute certainty
With which this extra session was spoken
of by those who were advocating it then
there is grave doubt in the minds Of
good many now as to whether the gov
crnor will ever reconvene the present
legislature. 1t will be remembered, of
course tfat the Republicans caucused in
favor Of the extra session and many are
now expressing the belief that it will
never be held. Among these is Senator
Gaugnerty, of Duluth, who says he does
not believe the extra session either
necessary or advisable. He thinks the
gross earnings proposition should first be
voted on by the people before the matter
of the tax commissions report is taken
up He thinks this could go over another
year.
Little by little the obvious intent of the
scheme is being disclosed. There will be
no extra session, If the word of very
prominent Republican is to be taken as
authority He says that the governor
will not dare call one.N The governor is
pledged to call this extra session and it
would certainly be a very decided breach
of confidence for him to go so directly
back on his word. 1t would seem that
Senator Daugherty gives utterance to a
peculiar sentiment when he says that it
is neither necessary nor advisable. Since
the governor and the Republican MEM
bers OF the legislature have given their
pledge that there VIII be an extra ses-
sion. it would seem that it Is both "ad-
visable and necessary at least as a
means of keeping faith.
There is no doubt but that the demand
for this extra session was greatly eXag-
gerated by those who so earnestly ad-
vocated it during the legislature. but for
the decided stand that was taken to be
so soon deserted argurs bad for the
motives that impelled the scheme. That
1t was the purpose of making campaign
material has been openly and intelligently
charged, but 1t will certainly be fatal
thing when this Is proven.
To resist the forces that arc now at
work to prevent the extra session from
being called WILL It is claimed, require
more courage than will be displayed.
Certain individuals are already bringing
great pressure to bear on the governor, it
is said and it will rot be at all surpris-
ing to learn that they have succeeded IN
their undertaking. espe cially When the
sentiment of the party which Gov. Van
SAINT represents is favorable to dispens-
ing with the extra session proposition.

against their position it is now being
