Hill and the Eastern De,noc, ats Not
Likely to Control the Next
Convention. @

Fergus Falls, Mimi, May 25.-Gen-
eral James B. Weaver, who was the
populist nominee for president before
populism merged with democracy in
the Bryan campaigns, arrived from
his Iowa home in company with a
party of friends today and is looking
over this section with a view to in
vesting in real estate and incidental
ly to enjoy the fishing. When asked
as to his present attitude on public
questions, Mr.. Weaver replied that
he was a Bryan democrat and heliev-
ed in the principles advocated by the
Peerless Leader"
What about the outlook for the
future; do you net think that David
B. Hill and the eastern democrats are
likely to control the next democratic
convention" was asked.
mo, I do not" was the reply. II
believe that General Nelson A Miles
will be nominated by the democrats
at their next convention, and nothing
would suit me better than to see him
pitted against President Roosevelt.
I tell you" continued the general with
some warmth, "the people of the Unit
ed States are becoming aroused yer
the conduct Of The army of the Phil
ippincs, and General Miles was the
first to- call attention to the %cruelties
that were being practiced in the is
lands. And to think of Roosevelt
reprimanding him as he did awhile
ago! Yes, I should like to see Cen
eral Miles nominated for the presi-
dency. OF course there are other
good men, Tom L. Johnson or Benton
Mcmillan, for instance
do you think that General Miles
is in sympathy with the Bryan wing
of the democracy" was asked.
II think he would accept the nomi-
Bryan principles, and he is a man of
his word; he would stand by the prin-
| ciples once he accepted"
"You are also confident that Roose-
welt is going to be nominated by the
republicans
eyes, I expect he WILL" was the re-
ply, "although there is a large and
increasing faction in the party that is
opposed to him. Senator Hanna and
his followers will dampen the n
thusiasm for him tefore the next cam
paign, to quite an extent, but he will
probably be nominated. Roosevelt
has some traits of character that we
must all admire, but he lacks equi-
libruim, poise, or whatever you may
call it. He is too hasty for a man in
his position.'

INTERNATIONAL GOOD WILL.

Philadelphia Record: The cere-
monies attending the unwilling of the
Rochambeau statue and the inter-
change of national fraternal greeting
which has followed upon the quick
response Of America in alternating the
suffering in Martinique have given a
sudden impulsive warmth to the
hearty good feeling which has always
existed between the people of France
and the people of the United States.
Following so 10 after the visit of
Prince Henry to this country and
his very ELUSIVE and friendly recep-
ton, the present exchange of greet
ing and courtesy restores the balance
of International amenities and antilles.
France and Germany stand upon an
equal footing of substantial and solid
good will.

HAS REINsTATED HIMSELF.

Consideration of the Philippine bill
by the senate has resulted in bringing
before the people Of the nation a fig
ure that had almost passed from the
public mind. Wellington of Maryland
was one of the men on the democratic
side who took part last Thursday in
the harangues of his party and as was
to be expected he made the occasion
n for showing his spite and spleen
in Enthusiastically Wellingtonian
manner. M
Ever since the unmerciful scoring
he received from the entire nation
for his brutal remarks concerning the
assassination of President Mckinley,
Wellington has been keeping in the
background and his name has scarce

THOUGHTFUL ! A

President Diaz has long been recog-
nized as the. best, ablest and most
patriotic executive the reputed repub-
lie of Mexico has ever had. Now he
is about to give further proof of his
wisdom and patriotism by undertaking
a step which he believes, and un-
doubtedly will spare his country the
annoyance, trouble and general UNI
pleasantness incident to a revolution
in n of the Spanish-American re-
publics.
He has tired of his job as president
and having been frugal and economi-
cal during the years he has held it
feels he is entitled to a rest. Know
ing the temper of his people he
realizes what would be likely to fol-
Dw we're he to resign and make an
election necessary. 1t is so long
since anv one else has been a presi-
dent of Mexico that but very few un-
derstand the righteousness of the posi-
ton and the hard work as well as sal
airy attached to it, that there would
be no lack of candidates and a gen
eral mixup would probably be the re-
suit and somebody might get killed,
not to say anything Of the unsettled
condition of affairs also likely to en-
sue. To obviate all this and remove
all danger of immediate revolution
and maintain the peace of the land,
Porfirio has hit upon a happy device.
He is going to take a vacation and &C
abroad, taking care to fix no final date
for his return. That vacation is to
be long enough to accustom his peo-
pie to his absence and also give his
secretary of the treasury opportunity
to familiarize himself with the bust
ness Of bossing the republic, for I'M
der the constitution of Mexico that
gentleman is the presidents under
upon this method may be taken as
indicating that Diaz is willing the
secretary should be the next presi-
dent, for by the time he decides to
return that gentleman will undoubted-
ly have sc shaped matters that his
c will be assured at a formal
election. unless he chooses a short
cut and by methods not altogether
unknown in his country declare him
self president h the fOrma1ifv
of a vote having been taken.

MISSOURI is P~ERTuReED.

Minneapolis Journal: Missouri is,
as a devoted adherent of the democ-
racy, a pretty good all-around ''anti,"
but as to the Boer war it is positive
positively pro-British.
1t sympathizes deeply with the Brit
ons in their manful battle against the
obstreperous Beers. And why should
it not? Has ever a Boer bought a
Missouri mule? And have not the
British bought some tens Of thou
sands?
Ye the Missouri pro-Britisher is I'M
like other sympathizers with the Eng
lish. He does not want the wal to
end. He is such an admirer Of British
valcr that he would like to have the
Beers keep it employed and shining
resp1endently for the wonder of the
woodland the employment of Mis-
souri, mules. :
On the principle that "we'uns" help
them who help t'we'uns," the Mis-
sourians would have the British lick
the Beers at once and do it thorough
ly. But if the Beers vote that they
have had enough, how can the British
continue to serve the Missourians?
All generous persons can sympa-
thize with the p%erturbed Missourians.
They, of course, want their friends to
win, but it is only natural that when
victory means a cessation of the flow
of golden testimonials of friendship
the mule raisers should wish to defer
the termination of the glorious COM
bat. Hl

SENATOR HoAR,s SPEECH.

Minneapolis Journal: No man can
put the case against our Philippines
policy better than the venerable Sen
'ator Hoar. His speech In the senate
yesterday aroused emphatic applause
from the galleries and the democratic
side of the floor. With great oratori-
cal effect he drew an antithesis Of
Cuba as against the Philippines, rep
resenting our course in Cuba as be-
ing n that adds luster to the flag
and American principles Of self gov
eminent while the other furnishes
the flag and insults the declaration Of
independence. "From Cuba" he said,
you have brought home nothing but
glory. From the Philippines you have
brought nothing of glory"
Yet we are doing more for the Phil
ippines than we have done for Cuba.
Our work in the Philippines has cost
us vastly more in blood and money
and labor than Cuba. Our work in
Cuba is done; our work in the Philip
pines has scarce begun. The time
has not come when any man is justi-
fed in drawing such conclusions as
those of Senator Hoar.
Fifteen or twenty years hence will
be time enough to begin to Judge
whether or not we have served the
Ef1ininNc &c v1y0 chN,,11 .M A w iNrify
of the American people believe that
the government is pursuing the wis
est policy with regard to the Fill
pinos, both for them and for them
selves. Since the control of the is
lands fell into our hands it was in
evitable that ~thenceforth their future
would not be shaped without refer
ence to American as we'll as Filipino
welfare. Thus far the favorable re-
suits of this policy have been all for
the Filipinos. The Americans have
actually gained nothing and spent
much.
For u part we are firmly convinc-
ed tnat the American occupation and
administration of the Philippines is
the inc bright spot in the several
hundred years of the recorded history
Of those islands. We believe that it
will be the means of lifting the peo-
pie out of barbarism or, what is but
little better, a hybrid Spanish civiliza-
ton, and of starting them on a devol-
opment which, if they have in them
the seed of nationality, will make
them a nation sooner, better and
stronger than they ever could have
been without our help. And if there
is not in them the possibility of sue
cessful nationality the best rule and
assistance they can have is that of
the American people.

FOR EMERGENCIES.

Philadelphia Record: 1t has been
decided that the house of representa-
tives at Washington shall have a med
icine case, with emergency drugs, and
a case of instruments for minor surgi-
cal operations. Occasionally a mem
Der, an employee or a visitor suddenly
becomes i'll, and while there are ply
sicians among the members, they do
not carry medicines. Then, too, the
Tilman-McLaurin affair in the senate
suggests that the personal collisions
of members may become violent
enough to require medical or surgical
attention.

Glass Matter.
TUESDAY, MAY ~, 1902.
MAY BE NEEDED HERE.

The time is fast approaching when
the state board Df equalization will
be called upon to fix the annual as
sessment of the railroads and the
people are wondering much as to what
the distinguished gentlemen compcs-
ing that body intend to do: In view
of the loud and justifable complaint
over it's actions in the past it would
seem that the board would make an
effort to do justice for once and raise
the valuations it has been in the
habit of putting on the property of
the companies. 1
The kindly intentions of the board
toward the railroads has always been
one ct it's chief characteristics. Pre-
Stunning to know more about the mat
ter that they themselves, it has in
sisted on assessing them at figures
far below what they claimed their
property to be worth. The value plac-
ed upon their lines by the board last
year was only a fraction of that claim
ed for them by the companies when
they undertook the highly benevolent
task of merging in order that undue
competition might cease and all enter
into the enjoyment of the good things
over which earlier they had been
fighting. If in making up the combine
the different companies had been con-
tent with valuing their roads at no
higher figures than those placed on
them by. the state board the total
would have been far from the stipend
GUS sum represented when it vas
thought the merger had been complet-
ed. It is possible that the board may
have learned something and the next
time be willing to accept the valuation
of the companies, rather than use it's
w judgment. But it is doubtful.
Nebraska seems to have a board
very much like that of Montana. The
railroads in that state have the same
dislike of taxation which marks those
of this state, and they have the same
sort of an obliging and ccmplacent
board of equalization to deal with.
Recently the board met and despite
numerous protests assessed the rail
road property at practically the same
figures as in previous years. In the
opinion of it's members that ended
the matter, but it did not.
Down at Omaha !, an editor named
Rosewater. He was not satisfied
with the assessment and told the
board so. He did even more. He
went into court and. last Tuesday the
supreme court issued an alternative
writ of mandate commanding the
board to reconvene and reconsider the
matter of railway assessments for
taxation purposes, or else show cause
to the court by June 3 why. a peremp-
tory writ should not be issued. The
writ goes further. It commands the
board if it reconvenes to take into
special consideration the franchises,
rights and privileges of the railway
corporations.
If the Montana board insists on fol-
lowing it's old curse somebody may
be found in this state to do as the
Nebraska editor did.
