Senator Germans great oratorical
effort in behalf of the government of
the United States of Colombia seems
to be deeply appreciated in Bogota.
A large number of senators have sent

closing with this interesting declara-
ton:

chronic condition Of revolution and,
to-day under the presidency Of a
swashbucl1ler who declared himself
dictator in 1901, the various states
having been reduced to the condition
Of departments ruled practically by
a central despotism, presents a pitia-
BILE spectacle of the collapse Of repub-
lican liberty. Senator German must
feel f1attered at the reception Of the
dispatch from his friends, the Bogo-
ia senators.
He and the senator's who support
him at Washington profess to repre-
sent the democratic party, altho sew
eral leading democrats have recent
ly disclaimed any sympathy with the
fraudulent issue he has raised and
has avoWed his determination to push
against the administration. He may
gather some comfort from his Bo-
gotta friends, but he is bucking against
a solid preponderance of American
opinion sustaining the action Of the
government. The Colombian govern
ment knows from Secretary Hays last
note that our government regards the
Panama incident as res adjudicata,
and that it will not be reopened. The
recognition Of the republic of Pana-
ma is an accomplished fact which
cannot be undone.

Poor Little Grill

A piano-playing contest was held in
Des Moines recently. So that they
might not be Influenced by the per-
sonality of the contestants, the Judges
sat where they could not see the
players.
When their selection of the winner
was announced, it turned out that she
was colored girl Marguerite Field.
A meeting of the society holding the
contest was called to discuss the
question Of whether the prize should
be given to a negress. The meeting
decided that it should be withheld.
''The child, for she was only 49,,
was heartbroken by the decree Of the
association" says a dispatch. "She

Indeed, the poor little girl was not.

pie suffer.

are as aliens.
Nature and history abound with in

MINNESOTA POLITICS
Pipestone Review Wants to Know Why
Dunn Did Not Take the Stump In
1so2-Eustls' Candidacy Discussed Pro
and Con. tLsH

The Pipestone' Review puts a rather
ticklish question to Candidate Dunn in
this weeks issue. It says:
information comes to the Review from
an apparently reliable source that Bob
Dunn, who aspires to be the republican
nominee for governor this fall, refused to
make speeches during the last campaign
when invited to do SO by the republican
state central committee. If this is a
fact, what right has Mr.. Dunn to ask for
the republican nomination for governor?
Mr.. Dunn, thru the Princeton Union, has
persistently talked about loyalty to his
friends, and yet he is charged with refus-
ing to assist the republican party and it's
nominees during the last state campaign.
Ii this is so, republicans are being WrOnged
by those persons who are endeavoring to
foist his nomination upon the party.
"Wil Mr.. Dunn kindly tell the. people
of the state whether or not there is truth
in the statement. that he refused to take
active part in the last state campaign, and,
If so, was it because he was not in har-
mony with the platform gof the republican
party and with, the principles upon which
that campaign was fought out?'' ,'
OF course, it. would be worth something
as an answer If MIR. Dunn should name
the dates and places where he spoke and
in whose interest,". ~ @s
Sam LangumE takes a somewhat differ
ent view, and says in his Preston Times:
1T really looks as tho Eustis could not
withstand the tennptat ionato shy his castor
into the gubernatorial arena, IL there
should still be, an opening when he returns
from the south irext spring The Times
shall never speak aught but kindly words
for Mr.. Eustis but we fear that. 1904 is
neither the time nor place for him to again
tempt the tickle political jade which played
him such a. scuryy trick in 1885,. ,Eustis
is much too good a man to get mixed UP
in another losing fight, c.:.i
!, The Wells ForNna,y which has been anti
Dunn but not @outspoken for any other
candidate, comes out this week with a
blast for Eustis. Says the Forum:
''W. H. Eustis of Minneapolis is said
to be a passive candidate for the repub-
.lican nomination for governor of this state
that Is, he will become a candidate if
| the people want him to. AS far as the
Forum is concerned-and we voice the
sentiments Of a large number of repub-
leans of this section-we would like to
see Mr.. Eustis become an active: :candi-
date. OF all the candidates in the field
| thus far, Mr.. Eustis stands head and
shoulders above them all, and if Henne-
pin county will only unite on him, he can
easily be nominated. The republican
party Of this state owes it to Mr.. Eustis
Ito elect him governor, and a brighter,
brainier, cleverer man cannot be found in
| the state, nor one who would grace the
| executive office better"

for a regular run and got it. From short
runs he graduated to one of the most i'm
