INTEREST cENTERs IN SPAIN.

AAS Spanish faTlldWeNt met N
Madrid on Thursday of this week
The dispute Of the Spanish Premier
with the Vatican has awakened the
interest of the civilized world and as
the time draws near for the govern.
ment to take action in the matter, in
creased concern in the final develop
ments has become evidant. AS might
be conjectured from the nature of the
reports that have already been cir
culated regarding the Spanish vatican
dispute. the opinions expressed nov
regarding the outcome are extreme and
widely divergent. There are those VIII,
hold to the opinion that the present
Will be the final session of the present
Spanish Parliament and that the mex,
election will result in removing Canal
ejas and returning conservative in
his place; others think that civil war
may result in dividing Spain into tw,
Independent provinces; while still 9TH
ers believe there is ground for the pre-
diction that Don Jaime will receiya
sufficient support to make the Carltat
pretender formidable antagonist of
the present House.
These are conjectures that are ar,
rived at by viewing the situation ~
different angles. The truth of thu
matter Is, chances for an adjustment
OF the difficulties favorable to the
clerical party are excellent. The coz
servatives and clericals form a stron,
element in Spain and the two working
IN harmony, as they are, constitute a
formidable opposition to the republic
cans. anarchists, socialists and Fres
Masons. 1t is more than probable that
Premier Canalejas is nearing the clos,
of his public career. In the event tina,
conservative is returned in his plaza
an amicable adjustment of the trouble
with Rome will be the Immediate re-
suit.
The dispatches. emanatine from
Spain still bear the seal of Masonic
approval. They are invariably intend
ed to make the course of Premier Can
alejas appear conservative and reason-
able while the policy of the Vatican ia
held up to ridicule. Further than th,s
they intimate that the anti-clericai
policy pursued by the Premier ia the
policy of King Alfonso and that the
whole difficulty is personal differ
ence between the Pope and the King IF
Spain. The reader who is acquainted
with the facts in the matter knows that
the dispatches sent out receive their
tone from representatives of the anti
clerical party and are not to be re-
lied on.
The demonstrations that have been
held by the clerical party have on the
whole been peaceful and well conduct
ed and they have Shown the strength
and earnestness of the opposition to
the Canalejas policies. This fact, that
the clerical party is strong and deter
mined. has been thoroughly impressed
on the liberals and 1t is certain to re-
suit In tempering some of their *.
IRENE policies.

TEMPTING DEATH.

The mania which some wealth.
possessed sports have for arranging
h-daring contests purely for the
sake of pleasure is a thing which
should receive the hearty condemna-
ton of thinking people. Last week at
Motor Parkway, Long Island, an auto
mobile contest took place which, 80
far as its object was concerned, was
simply display Of madness wherein
lives were waged against death with
no other stake in view than the con-
ISOLATION Of momentary applause. The
occasion was the Vanderbilt cup race.
thousands assembled to see it, FASH
ionable and ultra fashionable, rich
and ultra-rich. and hundreds of fools
and ultra-fools were present with their
powerful cars to delight the crowd
And they surely succeeded If the an.
petites Of the spectators were whetted
Tor sensational things. for, aside from
the scores OF broken limbs and frac
tured skulls that served to add I touci,
OF realism to the grand spectacle, three
victims were killed outright, Such
were the results Of a contest thu.
was intended to amuse spectators, ard,
as astounding. as 1t may seem. the
management which was in a derr.e
responsible for the appalling list of
casualties expressed the opinion ths,
1t was the most successful event In
the history of the sport! And. lest
enthusiasm might wane. William K
vanderbilt. Jr., promoter Of the rac.
ana donor of the trophy, announced,
to the spectators that the plans for
the magnificent international race for
october 18th will not be changed.
why should the plans for the COM
ing spectacular dashes to destruct,oo
De altered? Others will be killed M
doubt, for there are few such contest ,
that are not accompanied by fata,,

THE REPUBLICAN "kEYNoTE."


cially opened last Tuesday night
when Governor Eberhart delivered his
initial political speech at Mankato. The
entire document is characterized ~
its close adherence to the Republican,
platform. 1t might be said that the
convention furnished the words and
music to which the Governor attached
a little refrain laudatory of his admin :
istration. The Governor gives the Re-
publican party due credit for every
beneficial act that was passed during
his incumbency, and accuses the DEM
ocrats for preventing the passage Of
good legislation that failed, which is
campaign logic.
On the county option question Gov
ernor Eberhart seems to be little lr-
ritated about the out-and- out declara-
ton made by Mr.. James Gray, the
Democratic nominee. On this point the
Governor says: without attempting
to minimize the force and effect of ex-
ecutive recommendations, l say in all
seriousness to the people of this state
that If you do not elect legislature
In favor of county option, a recon- .
mendation of the Governor will not
secure the passage of the law. Prom
ises like this may sound good during
a campaign. but laws are based upon
the will Of the people as expressed bv
their chosen representatives.
IT county option bill is passed while
l am Governor, will approve and en-
force it. My opponent cannot do mora
although he may promise more"
This is peculiar position to take,
Governor Eberhart believes in the
force and effect of executive recon .
mendations, and he must believe in a
county option law. for he says II one
Is passed he will approve and enforca
1t. Yet he takes a very neutral posi-
ton. If Mr.. Eberhart does believe in
a county option bill he ought to coma
>oA "sAAN Will d abatement 10 the cf
feet that he will use his influence t,
have 1t passed. II he does not believe
IN such bill he should not be willin,,
to give 1t his approval.
The Governors speech consists YER.
largely of extracts from the REBUILT |.
can platform. with no elaboration IN
the passages cited. More than one.
third Of the document is devoted to =
detailed account Of the work of tho
administration. The Attorney General
the Secretary of State. the State Audi
tor. the Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission and the State Highway Com
mission all come; in for an honorable
mention.
All In all. Governor Eberhart's kev.
note address shows that he is a keen
politician with fair grasp of the sit
uation and very much alive to the IN
terests of Mr.. Eberhart.

SCENE OF sPLENDoR
st. Patriek's Cathedral, New York
Formally consecratsd,

New York, Oct. e.-with impressive
ceremonies st. Patrick's cathedral, the
most magnificent religious edifice IN
the country, was formally consecrated
yesterday to the worship Of God. New
er in the history of New York have
so many princes Of the Catholi,
church, archbishops, bishops, monsis-
nori and other dignitaries gathered
here to participate in any ceremony.
Fifty thousand devout spectators adj
ed to the grandeur of the occasion.
The conservation. made possible by
the lifting of the dsbt Of $S5o,0O0
against the cathedral which has stood
since its completion 81 years ago, was
the browning achievement Of the lon2
career Of Archbishop John M. Farley.
With the celebration of d pontifcal
high mass by Cardinal Gibbons, the
conservation ceremonies proper, which
began at daybrealz, were brought to an
impressive close yesterday afternoon.
But the exercises continued through
the evening and will not end until
Sunday.
On canopied thrones within the
sanctuary railing, during the mass,
sat Cardinal vannutelli, the papal le-
gate, and Cardinal Logue, primate of
all Ireland, while about them were
grouped archbishops and bishops, from
every diocese in the country. Prelates
Of lesser dignity crowded the chance]
to its capacity, and $4,000 worshipers
were packed within the cathedral. Out
side crowd of more than 10000 was
packed behind lines maintained by 500
police. ...-
There were few witnesses to tina
conservation ceremonies proper, which
were conducted by Archbishop Farley
before the city had fairly awakened.
First came the veneration of the relics
Of the martyrs which were deposited
Tuesday night in repository of the
cathedral college. This was followed
by the march to the cathedral, wher.,
the solemn ceremonies of the conse-
Grafton were carried out in detail.
In the great procession to the ca.
thedral for the pontihcial mass NOR.
than 500 men and boys participated.
including the prelates. The Cardinals
appesred in chasubles Of cloth and
gold, vestments which had never h.o,
seen by the public. The habits of tina
various orders made the picture one ~
great splendor. 49,

Indications at this time point to
light vote in Minnesota on state
ticket. Perhaps this will all lie
changed before the November days
appear. It's the Democrats this time
who have to fear the light vote most.
Dan J. Keefe, a prominent ST. Paul
Hibernian, is candidate on the Re-
publican side against Richard D.
O'Brien, the present popular county
attorney of Ramsey. Mr.. Keefe will
have to go some If he expects to de-
feat "Dick" O'Brien. His friends.
however. are confident he will win.
