WAR CLOUDS.

Alarming reports are in circula-
ton as to the peace of the world at
the present time, and it is contend
that peace depends upon the action
of the United States and Germany.
1t has already been announced
that Russia and France have united
for offensive and defensive purpos-
es, and upon the heels of that an
nouncement came another that Eng
land and Japan had united for SINH
lar reasons. France and Russia
have already asked the other Pow
ers, the United States and Germany
in particular, as to what would be
their respective attitudes toward
the new alliance, and whether. neu-
trality would be maintained in case
OF war between Russia and France
on one hand and England and Japan
on the other. The inference is that
if this country and Germany would
remain neutral war would follow
Immediately.
There can be no doubt but what
Russia and France, if they intend
making war on England and Japan.
would like to do so Immediately.
England has a large part Of her
standing army In South Africa and
the withdrawal of those troops to
carry on a war with Russia and Ja-
pan would be disastrous to Eng
land in South Africa Russia and
france realize this, and hence if
they are TO become belHgerent. they
will do SO before England treats for
peace With the Beers.
On the other hand Rnssia is
siren gtheniug her military posts
along the RussosC Chinese frontier.

WHY THR CHANGE.

Just why the editor Of our es.
teemed local contemporary should
attempt to shift the management d
the Eddy campaign in Redwood
county from his shoulders onto an
other, is a query. AL RedWoo
Falls people will remember how
Mr.. Eddy was 'steered' around by
the editor of that paper, when Mr..
Eddy came to town during the last
week of September. And the read
ers Of his paper will remember the
many nice things the editor said
about Mr.. Eddy. For instance:
He is an unusually bright, shrewd, level
headed person, a very entertaining
talker and converses readily and intelli-
gently on any topic. AS successful pol1ti
clan he takes high rank, while as a cam
paigner he probably stands at the head OF
Minnesota onace-holders. He impresses
one as thoroughly honest man who will
stand by his friends and who viii work un-
ceasingly for his constituents.
He left feeling pretty well satisfied. The
people were all glad to meet him and GRASP
the hand of the greatest campaigner in Min
nesota.''
