RAISING THE MAINE.

Representative Sulzer of New York
announces that he win urge for pass
age his bill for raising the wreck of the
ill-fated battleship Maine in Havana
harbor. 1t is certainly high time for
action--unless the government prefers
the disgrace of doing nothing at ALL
1t is a blot on the fair name Of the
United States that the wreck with the
bodies Of it's crew should be permitted
TO lie in that filthy harbor. The heroes
who lost their lives when the Maine
went down are, at least, entitled to q
Christian and decent burial.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger cor
rectly diagnoses the situation in the
following:
The Cubans want the harbors cleared
but refrain from meddling with United
states property. The navy department
would undertake the work but 1t canno
without congressional authorization
why congress should hesitate, no ons
can explain 1t is the more deplorabl'
because 1t encourages the spaniard:

HANNA SEEKS REELECTION.

In a private letter from Washington
Congressman Hanna of North Dakota
summarily disposes of the gossip that
he would be a candidate for the United
States senate. He announces that he
wishes to be reelected to his present
position and will again be a candidate
for congress.
The more intimate friends Of the
congressman were aware all the time
that he was ambitious to return to his
present position and there was no like
lihood Of his seeking the senatorial
job.
Mr.. Hanna likes the work Of the
lower branch of congress as far as he
has experienced it. Until this month
he had gone only through the special
session. That, however, gave him the
opportunity to learn the ropes and also
an introduction to the various depart
ments.
Mr.. Hanna was extremely fortunate
in his committee appointments being on
Indian affairs and agriculture. These
are the most important committees foI
this state and had the congressman
been offered his own selections out
right he could not have been more
happily placed. These positions viii
enable him to look after N. d. affairs
more promptly and effectually than hi
could possibly have done otherwise
zIis place on Indian affairs committee
As invaluable to him in securing tn,
opening Of Fort Berthold reservation
He is deeply interested in that move
ment and has the cooperation of TIT
people of the state in his efforts.
There should be no difference 0
opinion about the wisdom Of re-elect
ing MIR. Hanna. His experience il
both branches OF the state legislator
and as chairman of the republican
party in North Dakota has given hin
the training which well fits him for tn
work. His qualifications for the plac
are ideal and with each years expert
ence he will be able to accomplis
more for North Dakota.
Tho Forum hopes to see Mr.. Ham
renominated and reelected to congress
and believes North Dakota will homo
Atself by such action.

Montreal, Que, Dec. 2s.-For the
first time in history a prince Of the
blood will rule in person over North
American country, as If present plans
carry, the Duke of Connaught, King
Edwards brother, is to be the next
governor general Of Canada.
The formal acquiescence OF the Ca
madam authorities is all that is nee
essary to make the appointment an
accomplished fact
Should Prince Patrick receive the
appointment, his daughter, the Prin-
cess Patricia, one of the most popu-
lar and beautiful princesses of Europe
would accompany him to Canada and
would rule over society in the new
world as her aunt, the Princess Louise
did in the days when the Marquis of
Lorne was governor general.
The suggestion Of the Duke of Con-
naught's name as governor general to
succeed Earl Grey, who win retire
next year, has been met with great
approval on both sides OF the Allan

THE skIPPER's WHITE LIE.


An Incident Which Happened at Sea.
Told by the Scientist.
1t was a dirty night, to use SAIL
or's phrase, and the talk in one cor
ner of the smoking room drifted to
that passengers repose in the navi-
that passengers reposein the navi-
gators.
Said the scientist, who mad been
collecting specimens on coral reef:
"Ive often heard men and women
say they felt so safe with Captain
So-and-So, and I've wondered. too.
whether their sense of security would
still be retained if these favored trav-
ellers knew exactly what happened
on snipboard during a voyage. For
my own part / have more confidence
than ever in captain OF nv ac-
quaintance since / learned that he
! could tell white lie when 1t was nec-
essary to calm the fears Of a nervous
| traveller. 1t SO happened that one
foggy night I was awakened by the
sudden stoppage and reversal of the
engines. / jumped out of my bunk,
went on deck, and was told by the sec
ond officer that we had had a very
narrow squeeze. It appeared that we
had nearly run down a schooner as
she silently crossed our bows and dis
appeared into the haze.
Next morning a woman passenger
who sat at the captains table, asked
him whether the engines had been
stopped and reversed, and he replied
Yes, we some times do this to test
the engineers watch, and see If on
machinery is in proper order. We dc
| it at night so as to create no excite
ment. Then he got the woman to
describe what she had heard, and
asked her: Did you find much time
between the stopping and reversing?
No. she replied.
Then said the skipper. 'that
showed how well everything was
working, did it not?'
when / got the Shippers ear.

scHLEY AND COOK.


That sturdy old sea dog. Admiral
Schley, wants Peary's north pole
proofs submitted to the same author
tiles that discarded those Of DR.. Cook.
The admiral has taken mistaken pos
ition. Cook submit ted his alleged
proofs to the first people who welcomed
him back to Observation-Disclosures they
had credited him with the discovery
of the north pole, Peary had no such
associations with the Danes and is
under no obligations to send his data
there.
Admiral Schley has been through a
controversy as bitter as that concern
ing Peary and Cook. His partisans
hated Sampson and there was certainly
no love lost between the latter's friends
and Schley. He knows what Il Is to
have cold, scientific facts lined up
against the popular and the senti-
mental. His heart is in the right place
in this matter and the country will
like him all the better for maninfesting
ia reluctance to withdraw his sym
pathy and support from the under dog
The fine old fighter can't expect the
people Of this country to support him
in his suggestion regarding the Peary
proofs.
The Danes might also declare them
bogus-and what would happen then
The polar discovery would probably
have to be awarded to Walter welimar
by default.

sRoTHERLY LOVE.

One of the most beautiful stories of
brotherly love comes from South Ad-
ans, Mass. It tells Of an humble syr-
ian who in order to educate his brother
sold himself for $1,000. The whole af-
fair Is so strangely unusual that The
Forum reproduces 1t, as follows:
Michael Thomas, a 19-year-old boy
of this city, sold himself as security
for note for $1,000 given by his elder
brother to George F. Nassif, a fruit
dealer on Union street.
Thomas had not had any money for
a year and a half, but he has worked
early and late for Nassif, and the
money he should have received in
wages has gone upon payment Of the
note. He sacrificed himself willingly
that his brother might go to college
and become a civil engineer. The note
has just been paid.
Edward Thomas, brother OF Michael,
was a partner with Nassif in the fruit
business in North Adams. He was am
bilious and desired to return to Syria,
where he could attend the American
college for a course in civil engineer
|
more than he had saved and couId
raise by selling out his share of the
business Nassif agreed to advance
Edward 81, 900 If he could give security
but the only security Edward could
offer was his brother.
Michael eagerly volunteered to be
hostage for the payment Of the note
and signed an agreement by which he
bound himself to work for Nassif with
out pay until such time as the note was
paid. He faithfully kept the agree
ment. Nassif allowed him 50 a week
and his board and the money never
reached MichaePs hand, being applied
to the note. After his long days work
he occasionally did odd jobs for out
siders, and in this way got enough &c
clothe himself
Curiously enough a day or two age
he received 5000 from an old man, and
now has capital enough to so intC
business. Nassif is enthusiastic abou
the boy and wants him to go int
business with him.
Michael has been in this countr.
three years. His parents are still il

tic. In England it is thought the APP
pointment would serve still further to
augment the Anglican preference Cam
ada has shown to a marked degree in
recent years.
In Canada, on the other hand, there
is still the recollection of the days
when Princess Louise, daughter of
Queen Victoria and wife of the Mar
quis of Lorne, queened 1t at ottawa as
first lady Of the land and spouse of
the governor general.
The appointment OF the son of
Queen Victoria to represent Edward
VII at Ottawa would be recognition
by the British government of the i'm
portance of Canada and as intimation
that the northern strip of the Amer
lean continent is not such a wild and
uncivilized portion OF the west that il
is unsafe to send a member of the
royal family there.
The installation of Prince Patrick as
governor general at Ottawa will make
that city the society center of the
continent.

The story of The Third Degree
deals with a certain condition in So
cial life found in any large city, and
also with the methods employed by
the police in extorting confessions
from those accused Of crime, and in
doing so, assuming powers never con-
ferred by law. 1t is worthy Of note
that this play started movement
against this nefarious practice on the
part of the police, which has had it's
effect in New York, where only re-

political circles that Judge Edward
Engerud, of Fargo, will make the con-
gressional run for the short term. He
is quoted by those who best know him
as one of the most capable men of
the state. Should he enter the race
he will make the 'affini.ies" gyrate
noticably. Fargo has certainly con-
tanned valuable political timber, with a
good reserve still on hand.
Petersburg Record: One Of the men
in the legislative halls at Washington
who will have experienced no difficulty
at the coming primaries for renomina-

Fargo. Upright. honest and capable
the people of North Dakota, recogniz-
