Some of you may remember, as I do.
that we had a little brush with Spain
in 1898 under republican auspices: Dis
cussing the attitude of democrats re-
garding the peace negotiations in
Paris. on November 1. 1898. the st:
Paul Dispatch (then, as now. one of
the strongest republican organs In Min
"Ex-president Harrison properly re-

work of the peace commission at Paris:
saying, that the British politicians ms
their country is conducting. delicate
and hazardous negotiations Livery
body knows how far our democrats
are from standing by SO as not to inter-
fere with foreign negotiations"
I respectfully invite The Dispatch to
peruse it's files for the: month or two
preceding the congressional campaign
Of that year. 1t makes mighty inter-
esting reading. DEMOS.
COLVER on LIVING COSTS.
