ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR PUBLICITY

A new word is coming into use in Wall
street. 1t is heard more these days than
ever before. Publicity is the word.
When group of wildcat stocks decline
80 to 60 points in day, the oldest profess
sional stock traders are Jared not lit
tie. When this is followed by the sus-
pension of three stock exchange houses,
and losses all through the market, there
is naturally a great scurrying around to
find out Just what did it.
We are told that the president Of one of
the companies, finding his loans called
at the banks, and being in immediate need
of cash, decided to dispose of some of
his holdings of stock
The current price was 1913. He directed
his broker to sell some 1000 shares, but
unfortunately failed to instruct them TO
use discretion and buy it back If the mar
ket sagged too much under the selling
first sale, break to 16s, terrific fall to
1920 followed by utter Decentralization.
This, to be sure, was on the curb. But
on the floor of the stock exchange proper
the effect was very bad. s
What commentary upon the instabili-,
ty of some Of the highly inflated indus
trial stocks this is, that mans stock
Is worth nominally 198, but if he wants
to sell, it shrinks, like SNOWFALL in the
sun. Nearly all the stocks that have
had the sensational declines of late have
been industrials of which the public knew
little. Hence the growing sentiment in
favor of enforced publicity.
{ When President Roosevelt put his now
famous paragraph concerning publicity
into his first message, he had in mind a
necessary primary move in the
elimination Of the trust evils. But his
plea has gone beyond its original intent
and is now given more general applica-
ton. Ever since the Amalgamated Cop.
per fiasco, of some months ago, there
has been a growing feeling of hostility
against Industrial stocks Of whose fnan-

TELL:TALE' TELEGRAMS

The telegraphic correspondence between
Aguinaldo and General Noriel in January,
1885, a few weeks previous to the attack
furnishes additional evidence of the exis-
tence Of conspiracy to surprise our
troops while protesting to be on friendly
terms with the United States, and capture
and loot Manila. There was proof enough
of this intention. before. but the purpose

The anti imperialists will have to ex-
plain how it was that their great hero,
who has been repeatedly characterized by
them as a self sacrificing second George
Washington, over his own signature, in

ward would be given to the officers who
first entered Manila, that large amounts of
money, land and other rewards would be
bestowed upon them, including titles of
nobility, like the Marquis of Malate Count
OF Manila, etc. Aguinaldo evidently had
no idea of establishing simple republic,
but had in view monarchy or Philip
pine empire, of which he would be the
autocratic head, with parliament to act
as recorder of his wishes. Aguinaldo en-
tered into the business of governments

PRESIDENT PALMA's COMING MESSAGE

President Palma Of the Cuban republic
who will be inaugurated on May 20, is at
Cienfuegos preparing his message to the
Cuban congress-, This is the most i'm
portant business he has ever undertaken
in his life. The questions, which force
themselves upon his attention are both
numerous and crucial. An outline of his
principal positions comes in the press
dispatches: :: T~<.ss~-. -:
One of the difficult problems is the set
Element Of the claims for pay of the Gu
ban revolutionary army. These men
wanted our government to pay their
claims in 1899, but they found that this
was not in the compact. President Palma
proposes to raise loan to pay them. The
claims for pay aggregate $50 $1,000, 900, a
staggering amount as a starter in dis
bursement for the young republic. 1t can
only be met by an issue OF bonds or set
ting apart a percentage of the customs
receipts. There is no. doubt, however,
that the claim is frightfully exorbitant,
Some authorities say it can honestly be
scaled down to less than $20,000,000.
The message will state that the presi-
dent desires to- maintain close relations
with all nations and especially with
Spain. The Platt amendment would seem
to place, some limitations upon Cuba's
foreign relations. President Palma ap
parently would have Cuba trade where
and how she pleases. Close relations
with Spain would be very acceptable to
that government, which is trying to unite
all 4 SPANISH american countries in a
Hispanos- American commercial .bund.
President Palma evidently wants the
Spanish element in Cuba to be reconciled
to the new regime and live in amity with
the Cubans. e
He opposes commercial treaty with
the United States unless there is areduc-
ticn of at least .33 1-3 per cent oftthe reg
ular tariff duties on Cuban products. Our
illiberality will justify the action pro-
posed. for we cannot compel Cuba to
make commercial treaty Of any kind un-
less she chooses.
Palma properly pledges Cuba to main
tain the American sanitary work on the
island, which has proved so beneficial
This is required also by the Plat amend
ment, and the proposition to diversity
crops is to be commended, for the weak
point in Cuban economy is. the steadfast
adherence to sugar and tobacco. The i'm
poverishment of the Cubans is largely
caused by too large production of sugar,
with the lowest market on record. There,
is larger profit in coffee and fruits.
SeIf-government in Cuba is yet an un-
tried process. President Palma has a
most difficult position to FILL; factions to
reconcile; aspirations for full indepeu-

ONLY ONE COURSE FOR THE PARTY

1t was hardly necessary for Governor
Van SAINT to deny such an absurd report
as that he would cease to be candidate
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor if there should be any opposition
to him. The governor Is not the man to
leave the field Of action the moment
little danger threatens. No matter how
much opposition might develop to him it
would be the governors duty to fight to
the last. 1t is political lunacy for anyone
to talk Of the governors withdrawing, and
it is almost as bad to try to beat him.,
After all the quiet, but invertebrate
knocking" of Van SAINT who can name a
man that could get more votes ST. -
It would be an error of the gravest mag
nitude for the republicans of Minnesota
not to renominate him. : It Is true that
ordinarily most any nominee would have
good chance to win against anyone ex-
cept Lind, but remote as is the POSSIBLE
ity that the latter can be forced to take
the democratic nomination, it is the part
of wisdom to guard against 1t. It will be
hard to deny that against him Governor
republican party can have.
To reject Van SAINT in the convention
would be to serve notice on thousands of
loyal republicans that their votes are not
needed. Not to nominate Van SAINT would
so clearly be the work of the interests he
has opposed in enforcing the law that
thousands of republicans would feel that
the nominee. The nominee under such
circumstances would enter the race with
a handicap that no experienced politician
would care to carry and which nobodys
money bags could overcome.
Van SAINT is stronger with the people
to-day than ever. III making a few enc
mics he has made many friends. -.
At this time it may be we'll enough to
ask what business Mr.. Hill, a democrat,
has, trying to name the republican candi-
date for governor, anyway, and. if by any
chance he should name the candidate, how
does he think he could count on repub-,
lican votes to- elect his nominee?. Per-
haps he wouldn't expect to. - @.s
The only course that expedience points
to is the only course the republican party
of Minnesota can consistently and honor
ably follow. Van~San Is. at once the
strongest candidate and the one entitled
to the nomination.
This is so we'll understood by the rank
and file of the party that we shall be sur
prised as we'll as disappointed if there
shall develop any opposition to the gov
ernor that has the courage to take the

Tawney a National Figure.

Representative Tawney of Minnesota steps
into the open as national character. AS
manager of the successful: revolt against the
house machine, he has become suddenly as

it is possible that the insurgent republicans
will form a distinctive branch OF the house
in many of the contingencies that may arise;
and in. such event Mr.. Tawney would be
