JOHN HAY.

No doubt because of his ability, high
culture and opportunities John Hay
had greater influence upon the for
eign policy of this country than any
other man who has occupied the posi-
ton of Secretary of State since the
days of Villa NH. Seward. 1t is be-
yond dispute that he was recognized
abroad as an able man and force
in the world of diplomacy. He was
the first man to occupy the position of
Secretary of State who was trained
and experienced diplomat. His train
ing and experience at once gave him
a position among the representatives
of other countries.
John Hay spent most of his life in
the public service and yet he never
held an elective Office. He was a
writer of considerable note, a lawyer.
an ambassador and cabinet officer;
and yet he was known to comparative
ly few. He was probably an entirely
honest man and doubtless patriotic
one and yet we believe that his in
tiuence upon our national life, and par
ticularly upon our foreign policy, was
distinctly bad John Hay has done
more than any other man to send this
government chasing after the Will-o-
the-Wisp of Imperialism. In his de-
sire to make us a world power, in his
understanding of what a world power
is, he led us into positions and rela-
tons which may in the near future
bring trouble. He did more to violate
Washington's demand for entangling
| alliances with none than any other
man in the generation in which he
lived.
Now that he is dead it is scarcely
prejudices of his earlier life. AS a
writer he insulted the whole Catholic
world by his shameful misrepresenta.
tions of the church in Spain, and yet
it is entirely possible that he was sin
cere in the belief that he was furnish.
ing true portrait 1t is sufficient
to say that he lived long enough to
know better and perhaps has often
wished that he had left one book al
least unwritten.
While it is entirely possible to ap
preciate the mans ability and to give
due credit for his accomplishments nc
man with Irish blood in his veins can
approve the policies and the beliefs OF
John Hay.
He lived so long in England that he
really became more of an Englishman
than he was an American. He was sc
thoroughly saturated with the idea
that the Anglo-Saxon was the lord ant
master of the world that he could see
nothing else in all his diplomacy ex
cept a possible friendly alliance witt
Great Britain. No doubt he did much
to create the feeling, such as it is, il
favor of England that now exists il
this country, and had it not been fol
the determined and constant opposi
ton of Irish-Americans John Ha!
might have been able to secure {
treaty of alliance with England. Thi'
j dream of his later days was effectual
ly blocked. Were it not for his in

1t is reported that the International
Harvester company will establish a
factory at Albert Lea, Austin, or Owa-
tonna in order to compete against
the state of Minnesota in the manu-
facture of binding Irvine. Minnesota
can stand competition of this kind.
Every other small grain producing
state should have binding Irvine
plant to be operated by convicts.
Let our criminals be permitted, in
this way, to do all the injury they
can to the criminal trusts. The state
of Iowa should have a few beef and
pork packing plants. The trusts
should be given taste of public econ
omy and public strength in every way
possible, says the Emmetsburg, Iowa,
Democrat.

The London correspondent of the
Morning Leader at Lisbon says that
in view of the bad harvest prospects
owing to the drouth and the storms,
King Charles has sanctioned the i'm
portation of $4,000 tons of American
wheat and has ordered the reduction
of the customs duties by so per cent.
All very good so far as it goes, but will
America be able to furnish the goods?

The census just completed gives
Minneapolis population of 25S,000, a
gain of $4,000 since 1900. The count
has not yet been completed in st. Paul,
but indications point to population in
the neighborhood OF $4,000. Some
of our more enthusiastic down river
friends claim it will pass the 100000
mark. This is doubtful. In any
event the twin cities have made a
splendid record during the past five
years.

A PERILOuS EXPEDITION
Col. Jerry hillay Will Leave for Ev-
 anywhere Tomorrow Morning.

Col. Jerry Millay will leave tomor- row morning on very perilous expe- dition and requests all his friends to call at his office today and bid him goodbye. Col. Millay, as his friends know, is one of the most notable ex- plorers in the world. or to be modest about it, the United States has pro- duced. His travels have extended ov- CT two centuries, both the nineteenth and twentieth, and unless something interferes with his plans he will be still begging away when the twenty first is ushered in.
 It would take a big volume to re- count all his startling experiences but a nasty reference may give the reader an idea of the manner of man he is. He was born quite early in life in the pine woods of Maine and it only took him a few years to work as far west as the Mississippi. Everything before that date will be skipped for it was an old country when he crossed it. His first great achievement was a trip down the Mississippi. He took this, not because Mark Twain did. but in spite of the fact, for he knew things would happen to him that never did to Mark. And he was right. So much happened that Jerry has never had the heart to write a book about it. He demonstrated though that he was an intrepid explorer and could travel any where that anybody else could, pro- viding the boats or the palace cars were running. Since that time lots of things have happened. He finally came to Arizona. It is said that since the railroad was built to the Grand Can yon he has proved that it is no trick at all to go there, and he visited Tempe and Mesa City long before q railroad there was even projected. Probably the most fearless thing he
Arizona republican., 1905-04-04

ever did in his life was to blaze a re- publican trail into the office of district attorney of this county. Even after ! he had done so others failed to be as successful. It is reported also that he i lost the way himself on a later and similar expedition but for the purposes of this story that should be forgot i ten.
 Col. Nillay's present expedition is designed in the first place to make that of the late Lewis and Clark en- terprise look like thirty cents. A sec ondary purpose is to have a good time himself. He proposes to travel over land with a large retinue of wagons, horses, pack animals, etc., accompa- nied by his family and friends and all the man servants and subalterns nec- essary to accomplish his object. He expects to travel like the wind in that he will go where he listeth, but mainly through Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington and the adjoining states and territories. He expects to reach the Portland exposition in time to hold special Jerry Miliay day at the big show, but if he is too late he will be in line for honor at the next centennial.
 Col. Millay is a great hunter and fisherman. He will be we'll armed but for safety would like to have his friends contribute a few more rifles to his equipment, for he will doubtless meet big game. He intends to keep as far away from the railroads as possi- ble without losing sight of them. It is known that there are several bears inS Golden State park, which will be in the line of his itinerary. It is also reported that there are a number of blind pigs" in Pomona and other southern California towns and lots of tigers" in San Francisco. He will avoid these places if possible for the only kind of animals he is afraid of is pigs and tigers, but he wants to be well armed in the event of an at tack. The principal thing though, is for his friends to go to his office to- day and say goodbye and it is hoped they will respond in thousands.

she occupied a place in Chicago So
clety hardly second to that held by
Mrs. Potter Palmer. Her dinners and
special entertainments at her homo
were famous when the present genera
ton of social butterflies was holding
sway in the nursery.
Mrs. Cation is the daughter of the
Spencer who helped to found the
house of Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett
& Co. AS Della Spencer twenty
seven years ago she met and was won
by Arthur Cation, one Of the most cul-
tivated and handsomest beaux of the
period. The courtship was brief and
was started at Ottawa, ILL.,, where the
Spencers lived. Mr.. Cation, who was a
native Of Oneida county, N. Y, became
wealthy and his wife inherited riches
from her parents. Mrs. Cation also
was among the most prominent patron
esses at the charities, balls and horse
shows. Her husband was good whip
and, being fond Of horses, he indulged
his whim extensively. At the last
horse show he drove four-in-hand to
general applause.
Mrs. Cation has travelled consider
ably Of recent years. She has been
presented at several European courts
and is a familiar figure Mt the Euro

royalty and the aristocracy Of the old

Mr.. Cation, who was a warm per-
sonal friend of Mr. Field, about year
ago died suddenly in New York City.

Never Heard of Howells.

An amusing little incident was re-
lated recently to William Dean How
ellis. 1t seems that reader of many
novels from the West went into New
York bookstore and asked bright
looking clerk for Howells' last book.
Yes, we have It," replied the clerk,
and handed the customer book by H.
G. Wells. NO" said the Westerner,
mot Wells-Howells-W d. Howells."
The clerk looked nOnplused, and, going
to the back of the store, conferred
with another intelllgent-looking spec
tacled clerk. Both apparently were at
loss, and the second young man came
forward and said: "Will you please
tell me if he has ever written any 9TH
er books? about sixty" retorted
the Westerner, and with a sad smile
for the passing of the bookshop he de-
parted to seek Miss Bellard's Inspira-
ton in the better informed depart
ment store.-Harper's Magazine.

sterling citizenship. His first wife
died nine years ago, and since that
time he has gone very little into So
ciety, confining his visits to the homes
of few intimate friends, the Cations,
who were his neighbors, being among
the number. His residence Is on
Prairie avenue and the Cation mansion
is separated from it only by narrow
alley.
Mr.. Field was born on Massachu-
sets farm and spent his boyhood days
there. At II he went to work in n
country store. A little later he went
to Chicago and secured clerkship
in a wholesale dry goods house. At
the age of 25 he was taken into part
nership and from that day to this his
fortune has grown.
Mrs. Cation, who is SO years Of age,
though she does not appear to be more
than 49, is by temperament and en-
vironment admirably suited to be Mr..
Fields helpmeet. His friends are hers
and his tastes, which she thoroughly
appreciates, are her tastes. The two
personalities are declared to be well
suited. Mrs. Cation is amiable and
