The campaign in Kentucky this
year is full of interesting situations.
Governor Beckham, known as 'the
boy governor" is the Democratic can
didate, and Maurice Belknap. of
Louisville, young and wealthy bust
ness man, is the Republican candidate
Belknap is the son-in-law of Simon
Bolivar Buckner who was the little
end of the sound money Democratic
ticket in 1896. Buckner is an ex-Con-
federate, and has announced that he
will support Belhnap; this, however,
does not mean much, as the Demo-
cratic party is more united than it has
been at-any time in ten years. Not
long ago w. C. P. Breckenridge, who
left the party in 1896, announced that
he would support Beckham and that
he intended to put the past behind him
and fight in the future for the welfare

In the death of Charles e. Elan
drau, the state of Minnesota has lost
an able and distinguished member of
that band of early pioneers in which
there was an unusual number of ex-
traordinary men. Judge Flandrau
was lawyer of the old school which
is now almost extinct. He was truly
a professional man in the highest
sense of that term. AS member of
the constitutional convention which
framed the constitution of the state,
he took a prominent part in framing
the basic law Of our state. As a
member of the first supreme court of
the state, he was instrumental in part
in framing the early judicial decisions
which were to become precedents in
after years. AS an Indian fighter his
services in protecting the settlers of
the Minnesota valley We're great. AS
a lawyer he has, ever since we be-
came state, been one of the leaders
of the bar. AS man he "was in
every respect most true and worthy,
and his word could always be relied
upon to the last extremity
Judge Flandrau was a staunch and
influential Democrat, and performed
many services for the party in this
state. He, together with Judge Isaac
Atwater of this city and Judge EN-
met now of New Mexico, constituted
the first supreme court of the state of
Minnesota. His decisions are con-
tained in the first nine volumes of the
Minnesota Reports. His first written
opinion was rendered at the Novem-
Der special term of court, 1858, and
was in the case of the Minnesota Paci-
fic railway company against H. II.
Sibley, governor of Minnesota.

the Hermitage" the old home Of
General Jackson, has been restored to
the condition in which it was at the

Great Britain is holding post
mortem examination over the South
African war. The evidence taken be-
fore the royal commission shows that
the English We're totally unprepared
for war and that the war office was
negligent and inefficient. Lord Roberts
says that the campaign was badly
managed in the beginning, that
the authorities underestimate the
strength Of the enemy and knew. moth
ing about the geography of the coun-
try. General Butler agrees with him.
Kitchener says the officers were not
fitted for their work. Lord Wolseley
says the army was hampered because
the War office deprived the command
er in chief of all power. There are
many people who will believe that all
of them are right in their criticism.
There We're about 10000 men en-
gagged in the war to conquer a coun-
try whose inhabitants were fewer
than the population of Minneapolis
and st. Paul. 1t took more than one
British soldier for each man, woman
and child in the Transvaal and
Orange Free State. The commission
asserts that the "real lesson of the
war is to show that some system of
expansion must be adopted beyond
the limit of the regular imperial forces
and it calls for better training of
men," We think the real lesson
taught by the war is that Great Bri-
tain has been greatly overestimated as
military power, and that she is
really only third class power as far
as military affairs are concerned.

which celebrates the conquest of Mexico

1T is precisely because General Miles
felt (about the Philippines) as General
Grant felt about the Mexican war; and be-
cause the country has known it, that the
popular impulse to do him the highest hon

through his interest she inherits a good

she goes to rest. The village is a sort of
New World Crawford, and the contrast be-

hustle of great city is extreme. rail-

unraveling the mystery that surrounds his

delegate to the Republican national conven-

Goldwin Smith. the famous essayist-
whose works always command attention
in this little volume gives us a picture or
our Savior with his miracles suppressed
and his supernaturalsm in his divinity
eliminated, as is now the fashion among
Unitarians. In other words, he takes
the bones OUT of the man and his life, and
presents to US an invertebrate, very much
as IL he should give to us Lord Byron and
omit the 'Childe Harold" or Milton, with
the Paradise Lost and Regained' omit
ted. And before going further one must
face this question: with such omissions
as Mr.. Smith makes, would Jesus Christ
ever have got into history at all?"
would the Christian Church, If its founder
was such man as this essay makes him
to be-, ever have been founded?" Unhesi-
tatngly l say no. II Christ was simply
history would never have noticed him.
He; would have been hopelessly relegated
to obscurity as visionary schemer who
dope both before and after his time. And
as to the Christian Church, nothing was
deader than it the day after Christs cruel
hxion. The heresy of which our Savior
was the life and soul was completely
stamped out. Even his most devoted dis
cfples were certain that there some
that it was he who would have redeemed
Israeli tells the story. All at the
scene completely shifts, the old enthusiasm
returns and the church begins, with less
than a hundred members, its marvellous ca
reer which, after 1900 years, is fresh and
vigorous as ever. What was the cause of
this marvel? Not the teachings. which Mr..
Smith declares is all that need detain us
in our study Of the Master-no. But the
miracle that the Master could not be holden
of death. THE third day he rose again."
II is nonsense to talk about the dreamer
that the essayist pictures as the founder of
Christianity. Mr.. Smith compares him to
cisembodied spirit. has disembodied
spirit ever accomplished any work what
ever except terrifying the superstitious
and ignorant? Granted that, as Mr.. Smith
says, Christ was great man, did anybody
ever worship a mere man, no matter how
great? We cannot have a religion without
personality which will command and
hold our worship. If Christ was man,
then Mr. Smith makes him out to be the
prince of impostors, and all his great prom
ises. instead Of being ''the mighty hopes
which make men," were simply so many
frauds to dupe the innocent and unsus-
pecting. There is only one key which will
unlock the problem, and that is that he
was divine and his miracles actual facts.
