A treaty has been signed
for the acquisition by the
q United States of the Danish
West Indies-the islands of
St. Thomas, St. John and St.
Croix. The treaty has boen
hangingsfre for some time,
owingto theopposition of many
people in Denmark, who in
sisted that the people of the
islands be allowed to decide
whether they want to- be
transferred. It is claimed
that the American govern
ment:: did not wantto do this
"a point worth remembering.
The treaty according to the
last reports, provides that the
people of the islands shall be-
come American citizens and
that there shall be free trade
between them and the United
States. The West Indian
islands are inha hi ted mostly
by free negroes, and the prin-
cipal product is sugar. S.
that the new acquisitions pre-.
sent problems of interest tt
the sugar producers Of. the
United States, and to the PEG.
pie of the other "colonies, ,.
who are getting different
treatment.

The supreme court of Min
nesota has not now a Mitchell,
a Gil6llan, a Vanderburg or
a CAVITY. Perhapsit would be
considered lese. majestic to
say that most lawyers
throughout the state and out
side of it, do not hold the
opinions of THE present court
in high respect. We do not
undertake to say why, but we
have heard lawyers of all
shades of politics say so.

President Schurman,

President Schurman, of
Cornell, who was presidentof
the first Philippine commits
sion, has caused consterna-
ton in the imperialist ranks
by saying in a speech at Bos-
ton last week, that when he
consented to go to the Philip
pines both McKinleyand him
self agreed that it was not de-
sirable to retain the islands.
DR.. .Schurman says that he
was not in favor of holding
the islands, and mckinley
said he did not either, but
after Dewey's: victory the
American people would not
consent to leave the Philip
pines to Spain, but We must
take the island to: emancipate
the people," DR.. Schurman
says that Mr.. Mckinley de-
sired for the Filipinos a policy
eliminating in independence.
Such utterances are to the
rabid imperialist, who has
the land grabbing instinct as
strong as any robber baron of
old, simply treason. General
Wheaton is quoted as saying
at Manila that DR.. Schurman
should be imprisoned. Let
the. struggle go on; the Amer
lean peoplewi1l get the dust out
: of their eyes after a while,

One of the funny things
these days, is to see papers
which VIGOROUSLY have been
for years under the thumb of
railroad corporations, now en-
gagged in assailing J. J. Hill,
and making great lament over
railroad monopolies and the
powers which those Mono
poles exert to the detriment
of the people. A. conversion
is always welcome, even at
the eleventh hour, but argu-
ments against Mr.Hill's plans
coming from these sources
show either that these papers
were wofully wrong in the
past, and ought to apologize
now and confess that their
eyes have at last been opened,
or that their present attitude
is not an honest one.~ For
years the majority of the dem
ocratic and populist papers
of Minnesota have pointed
out the evils which the breth-
rem on the other side. appear
to have just discovered, and
their arguments were
answered by ridicule and
.scoru. John Lind, S. M.
Owen and Charles A. Towne
were branded as. anarchists
and disturbers of the peacef for
saying things about :. railroad
magnates not half as strong
as may be read in many re.
publican j. papers today.
The people of the state. are
opposed, to the domination Of
Hill; they take little stock
in a 6 philanthropy which
makes multi-millionaires of a
few;they believe in equal rates
for equal distances; and they
are tired of judges and 1egis-
lators who are simply tools OF
corporate monopoly. But at
the same time the people OF
Minnesota detest hypocrisy
and there's too much of that
in the present anti-Hill cam
paign. i. . .:*.>

SHIP CONSTRUCTION
BY THE GOVERNMENT

who works ten hours, so that there may
be 70 loss by the Government in that
regard. Other considerations are the
cost OF material in various localities.
the cost OF transporting it. and the op-
portunity of securing the best class ot
workmen. These and other things VIII
be taken into consideration in reaching
4 conclusion on the question of select
ing the yard where the ship will be laid
down -
Mare Island Yard.
1t is by no means certain that the
vessel will he built at navy yard on
the Atlantic scaboard Mr.. Moody has
made some inquiries about the Mare
Island yard near San Francisco and has
ascertained that ii is splerdidly equip
ped for shipbuildinS. One drawback is
lack of water, but Congress has appro-
rriated money for dredging there, and
the work would probably be completed
before the battleship is ready TO go
overheard. However, the opinion in
naval circles is that the selection will
he between the Brooklyn. the Boston
and the Norfolk yards.
The plans for the aTmorciad3 author
ized by the naval act are all ready, and
advertisements for bids for those to be
built by private contract will be issued
by the Navy Department very soon.
The hattieships, one to be built by the
Government. the other by private con-
tract, viii! be the most powerful vessels
of their class They will displace 49,
900 tons of water, more than any other
battleship in the world. 1t is in their
batteries, however. that they are to be
most remarkable. Each vessel will have
four Pinch rifles in turrets. eight g.
inch rifles in turrets, twelve 7-inch rapid
fire rifles and an armored citadel, six to
broadside: twenty 3-inch rapid fire
rifles, and host of smaller guns, most
of them of the machine type. No navy
has ship so formidable in battery as
these will be.
