THE ONLY DECISION POSSIBLE.

), The London Morning Adver-
tiser announces that the Alas
ka boundary tribunal has
reached a decision virtually
,conceding the American case,
says the St.gPaul Globe. AS
The Globe Stated at the. time
the commission assembled, this
was the only conclusion it
could possibly reach. It must
either disband after a total dis
agreement or it must accept
the American contention. The
American members were thor
,oughly committed to their POI
sition, .They-were justifiedain
it by the facts, and they would
have lived neglected an ! dis
.honored lives if they had dared
to return to this country after
yielding a single material point.
AS we have said, the entire
Canadian claim is of less than
ten years standing. 1t was
never heard of or thought
about seriously by anybody
prior to the discovery of gold
in the Klondike. It has all the
treaties, all the maps, all the
records ever since the first oc-
cupation of the country by Rus
STA, against it. It is supported
Eby nothing. buta strained and
fanciful Interpretation, now
admitted, to be applied to words
whose plain, meaning is not
doubtful; and nothing was add9
ed until itbecame of vital in
terest to- CANDIDATE trump up a
case. ~ r.
1t will be an excellent thing
to have this boundary question
settled, it. it can be settled
right. The American position.
could never alter. Even at the
cost of war, we could no more
resign a portion of Alaska, or
give UP any of our seaports on
Lynn canal than we could turn
over the state of Maine to the
Dominion because it would
give her a longer frontage on
the Atlantic. Left unsettled,
the controversy, however base
less in its origin would be a.
fruitful sourse of bickeringsand
tend to keep apart the two
countries whose every real in
terest should draw them closer
together. In the, long run, it
will be as, well for Canada as
for the United States that the
issue should be permanently
removed, since neither by
stratagem nor force nor arbitra7
ton could she ever realize on
her absurd claim. If the re-
port sent out from. London is.
substantiated, the policy of
those who urged the commits
sion's appointment will be JUST

Dicussion of the race suicide

where, after all, it is quite as

Human nature proves that la
Dor is the greatest blessing ra--

arises from necessity. The
people all over the world who
inherit nothing to speak of in
the way of worldly possessions
are those who are both under
the greatest compulsion and
who have the greatest incent7

people who reap the largest

low from anything said in
these columns in relation to a |
third term for Gov. Van SAINT
that the Herald abates in any
wise its earnest approval of the
merger case. On that issue
there must be no compromise
or shadow of relengting, and no
man should be considered as a.
candidate for the succession to
Gov. Van SAINT who does not
stand pat" in fearless support,
of the position taken by the,
Republican party on that issue
in the last campaign, and so
vigorously upheld by the
governor during his term Of
office Luverne Herald. ',1
This, is deposition that has
been maintained by the Inter
Lake Tribune in whatever
discussion Of the. gubernatorial
situation it has INDUCED in.
The merger question has be-
come, an issue in state politics
and the Republican party can
not afford to take a backward
step by treating the issue
|,lightly, or by ignoring0it al
together as some wish to do.
The big, majority received by
the Republican party in 1902
/ was due largely tosthe stand it
had taken on this very issue.
lit, is not necessary to renomin-
|atethe governor orathird term
in order for the party to main
: tainlthe confidence of the vot-
lers,that the laws Of the state
against mergers, will hereafter
be enforced, but it is quite
necessary that the party place
in the field candidates for gov
E,ernor and attorney general
who are unquestionably in
favor zof the stand taken by
Gov Van SAINT and Attorney
General Douglas on this inn
portant and much discussed
question, if the confidence Of
the voters is not to be shaken.
No luke-warm, passit-over-
lightly candidate will do; he
must stand squarely and un-
.alterably opposed to, mergers
and nergerites,if the Repub1i-
can majority is TO be maintain
| ed. AS to Gov. Van SAINT, we
can hardly believe that he is
seeking a third term. But #
so, we do not consider it as
good politics for the party, to
again place him at the head Of
the ticket: Not because he
has not in the main fulfilled
his duties faithfully and well,
but because of the prejudice to
to third terms in general, and
the further fact that during the
three years of his vigorous
administration in the enforce
ment of law many bitter things
have been said against him
which, though, not well found
ed, and of course in official
appointments to minor offices
there are always more dis
appointed than satisfied ones,
and, sore spots are leIC tnat 40
not easily heal. A new cam
didate standing squarely upon
which the governor stood ,
would not have these minor
matters to contend with or
'harass him and would be
stronger from the start than
the governor could possibly be.

scribe to- the old anti-merger
platform will be the proper
political caper fortthe Republi-
can party in Minnesota i'll 1904.

TELEGRAPH LINE TO NOME
Communication Between Seattle aud
Far Northern City to be
Opened ut once.

SEATTLE, Wash, April photographic
communication between this city and Nome.
on Boring sea, is expected to be opened
some time today. Several messages have
already been received for transmission.
The first came from Chicago and is ad-
dressed to the superintendent Of a gold
mine about eight miles from Nome, and
within a half mile of a telephone station.
The line from Seattle to Vancouver is con-
trolled by the Western Union and Postal;
from Vancouver to Ashcroft by the Cana
dian Pacific, from Ashcroft to Eagle via
Dawson by the Canadian government, and
from Eagle to Nome by the United States
government. There is at present a tele-
graph line from Valdez and Nome.
The new line runs through the Tanana
country, intersecting the other lines. The
last piece forming the connecting link 10
200 miles of insulated cable laid on the
ground. A letter dated Nome. January IA,
was received here March 20. Notwith-
standing the heavy tolls, which will Droba =
bly, be S. for ten words, the saving in time
will be so great that 1t is expected the new

I south Dakota Conditions Favorable.

SIOUX FALLS. s.. D., April 2.-(Special.)
With favorable weather during the next
few days farmers in all parts of the agri-
cultural portion Of the state Will be at
work in their fields. In the case OF farmers
who completed their blowing last fall, con-
siderable wheat seeding will be finished
within the next week. Notwithstanding
that the corn crop was very light last
season, due to unusually late frosts in the
spring and early froUts in the fall. It is
stated by those in a position to know that
instead of the corn acreage being de-
creased this year, a much larger acreage
than usual will be devoted to corn. The
outlook for good crops in the state gen.
orally could not be more favorable than
at this time. The ground is in excellent
condition, due to the heavy rains last fall,
the melting of the great amount of snow
which fell during the winter and the rain
which already has fallen this spring.

Slmost superhuman virtues TO success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy aud permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.

This complete treatment, costing but

Those who Favor that Location Max
ing an Active Campaign to In
duce Library Board to
Change It's Mind.

The agitation in favor OF the Pussy prop
erty at the southwest corner OF Willow
avenue and Pearl street as the site for the
Carnegie library building has reached that
stage where it is becoming exceedingly In
terestlng. Not only are the petitions urg-
ing the selection Of this site being numer-
ously signed throughout the entire city,
but business men who are anxious TO see
the library built on this corner are now
prepared to make the library board certain
offers which will bring the price Of this
property far below that Of any OF the other
sites offered.
Mrs. Pussy in her original offer placed
the price Of her property at $1O,bOO, but
later reduced it to $4,000. The price asked
by f. L. Shugart for his property at the
northwest corner Of First avenue and Sixth
street was $12, 900, and from this figure he
declined to make any reduction. The Pin
ney property, adjoining the W. H. NJ. Pussy
lot, was offered at $500, thus making the
cost Of the entire corner between Willow
avenue and the county courthouse grounds
S13, 500, only 81, 500 more than asked by Mr..
Shugart for his lot.
Owners Of property in the vicinity of the
Pussy site are now prepared in the event
OF the library board deciding to choose
this site to assist so as to bring the cost
to the city far below that of any other
sites offered. One property owner is pre-
pared in the event Of the board desiring to
acquire the Pinney property, as we'll as the
Pussy lot, to purchase the residence and
remove 1t and in addition to make a sub
stantial donation toward the cost of the
property. other property owners in the
vicinity are also willing and ready to do
their share and are prepared to subscribe
amounts which in the aggregate will ma
terially reduce the cost of the property to
the city II the board will decide to locate
the library building at that corner.

e. Stevenson. Bloomington, ILL.,; 'Democ-
rscy," William J. Bryan, Lincoln.
Stevenson on Issues.
Mr.. Stevenson, who spoke FIRST. in order
to catch an early train for his home in
Bloomington, ILL.,. gave his views as to
the proper policy for the democratic party
in the coming presidential campaign. He
said in part:
We are almost upon the threshold of an
other presidential contest. The main is
sues of the struggle can even now be
clearly defined. The party in power will
tive tarir; viii oppose all attempts TO
tighten the burdens OF enormous tariff
taxation; will stand for the legislation in
spired by greed which has brought colos-
ing the cost Of needed articles OF con-
sumption. II will stand for the trusts.
The unlawful combinations of capital,
which today threaten the destruction Of
legitimate business enterprise, will find
their only defenders in the republican
party.
In unrelenting hostility to all this, the
democratic party, true to the teachings of
Jefferson. will favor the abolition OF all
unnecessary and unjust taxes. will demand
OF every needed article of consumption. 1t
will stand In reality. as well as in its plat
form, the antagonist of trusts.
Is II too much TO believe that, with these
issues in the forefront there will be di-
vided councils In the democratic party?
Whatever differences may exist upon ques-
lions of less moment. there can be none
upon the political issues indicated.

Suit to settle Liability.

The courts will be asked to decide
whether the city or the county is liable
for the expense of publishing the notices
of registration in the city for the general
election last November. The registration
notices we're issued by the mayor and
we're published in the local papers. When
the bills we're presented to the board of

The city council likewise refused TO pay
them on the grounds that all election ex-
penses should be borne by the county.
In order to settle the matter 1t was
agreed yesterday between the Globe Pub
fishing company and City Solicitor Snyder
and County Attorney Killpack that suit
be brought jointly against the county and
city by the Globe Publishing company and
that both the city and county should de
mar to the action. thus leaving it with the

GRAIN MEN TALK ABOUT CORN
Increase in Yield Means More
Business for the
Dealers.
(From a stan Correspondent


DIES MONIES, April 2.-(Special.)-The
annual state meeting of the Iowa Associa-
ton Of Grain Dealers was commenced here
today with about $50 present. This after
Moons session was devoted to a study in
corn conducted by Prof. Holden of the
State Agricultural college. Prof. Holden
is an expert on corn and corn judging and
came to this state from Illinois, where he
attained a reputation in that line. At
s o'clock this evening there was a lunch in
the banquet hall. Jay A. King Of Nevada

A. Wells Of Des Moines is secretary and
treasurer.
Prof. Holden's talk on corn took up the
greater part of the time this afternoon and
will take most OF tomorrow forenoon, and
the convention will close tomorrow after
noon with a business session. The great
effort OF the association this year is to stir
up interest In the subject OF increasing the
yield of corn, especially among the farmers
of the state. "If we car increase the yield
FIVE bushels an acre it will mean 25 per
cent more business for every grain dealer
in the state" said Secretary Eells this
morning, land we think It worth trying for
even II we fall short OF the amount"
The association has been growing and has
a large membership. The reports of officers
will be read tomorrow.
