President McKinley addressed the citizens of Staunton, Virginia, on his way to the Nashville exposition the other day and in the course of his re marks declared that he wished all his countrymen the greatest peace and “prosperity.” At this remark a voice in the crwd exclaimed: ‘Why don’t you give it to u The president did not attempt to answer this ques- tion which was evidently propounded in good faith but it was too much of a puzzler, even for the president to solve. A great many people are ask- ing themselves in this broad land to- day the same question which the citi- zen of Staunton, Virginia, with an inquiring turn of mind asked Presi- dent McKinley. The president might have responded to the question, “Wty don’t you give us prosperity? I give up,” but he gave it up without mak- ing any response whatever. It wasa rude act on the part of the Staunton citizen to interupt the president when he was indulging in the custom- ary, plausable political platitudes, such as wishing his countrymen peace and prosperity and content in all their homes, but the man who put the question to the president is to be pardoned in view of the general anx- iety of the American people to learn from an authoritative source just when the advance agent of prosperity is going to put in his appearance. His coming has been awaited with a good deal of interest, and thus far he has certainly failed to get around as the Republican organs and orators in the Jast’ campa proclaimed that he would. He s not only not arrived on time, but he has not come at all, and there are no present prospects that he willarrive in the near future. TWO GREAT EVILS. are two evi said the ago Tribune recently, ‘“‘which are eating into the life of our free insti- tutions with the insidious and deadly peril of The which are slowly but ‘Ther neers. steadily under- mining American life, honor and hon- esty and American politics and gov- vices is the ond evil re- ernment.

Tow shall these evils be reformed? being reform replies the News, “up. to the time the several tickets are nom- inated and then turning partisans.

Then the two evils which are gnawing the life out of our free institutions will stop for awhile. “Itis almitted that there is as much thirst for office in one party as in another. With either in power no office has to chase for the man. ‘lomany persons a_ political party has no higher excuse for exist- ence than to provide offices for the push. Yet let anybody suggest cut- ting loose from the Republican party and the Tribune-hasa fit. Y and brain it supports old par! didates and when they do just as any person with sense knew they would do, it has a spasm of reform and sees things eating the fringe off our free institutions. Why shouldn’t there be a chain of boodle from Washington to everywhere? Most of the boodlers now boodling belong to one or the other gran dole parties. There are no independent party boodlers, because the majotity of voters are like the ‘Tribune—reformers until the conven- tions are held and then redhot. parti- sans. The ‘burning question’ is easy toanswer. When men and newspa- pers have the courage to break away from parties when those parties aie Junching on the life of our free insti- tutions and putting new links in the chain of boodle, then the two evils will be knocked into a cocked hat.” A PALPABLE FALSEHOOD. The St. Panl Pioneer Press, which never permitted a day to’pass during the last carapaiga without publishing some falsehood about Mr. Towne, has returned to its old mud-throwing tac- tic the Duluth Herald. The other day it published a Washington dispatch alleging that Mr. Towne was responsible for the action of the sen- ate in cutting the duty on white pine fron $2 to $1, and the News Tribune repeated the story, saying: “Duluth lumbermen express the opinion that the duty on lumber of $2 which was cut in two by the Teller will be be- amendment a tew days ago, restored before the bill finally comes alaw. <A special tora $ paper that the belief is ex in Washington that ex-Congre Towne hada hand in the reducing of the duty on lumber and that it) was intended asa blow at Congressman Morris.” The News Tribune’s propensity for blundering was again exhibited when it said that the duty was cut in two by the ‘Teller amendment.” It was not the Teller amendment. Senator Teller wanted white pine put on the free list, and he no doubt represented the sentiment of the Colorado people when he so voted. Senator Qtay of Pennsylvania voted the same way, andso did three other Republican senators. The Mantle amendment making the duty $1 could not have been adopted without the votes. of the Republican senators. Of course there is no truth what- everin the story that Mr. Towne worked in favor of cutting the duty from $2 to § Itis a miserable false- hood concocted with the deliberate purpose of injuring him with those people who believe that the duty should be tixed at $2. It is well known that Mr. Towne will be a can- didate for congres: lin next year against Judge Morris or whoever may be the Republican nominee, and the ulated by the Pioneer News Tribune and other Re- publican organs was conceived with the idea of making political capital against him and creating sentiment in favor of the Republican candidate who may be selected next ur. Un- however, these organs have given credit to Mr. Towne for extraordi y infiuence in shaping legislation at Washington. Itis not every ex-copgressman who can influ- ence the senate in sucha way, and if it were true that Mr. Towne vy able to induce Republican senators (his political opponents) to vote as he de- must be regarded pos- sessed of wonderful power. or- have over-reached consciously, sired he The themselves with this palpable falsehood. gaas HARMONY LACKING, Bitter Factional War Among the Republi- can Leaders in Minnesota. A special to the Duluth Herald from Washington says the fight over the confirmation of John Goodnow as consul general to Shanghai has de- monstrated that the factional war among the Republican leaders in Min- nesota is even more bitter now than when Senator Washburn was defeated for re-election to the senate. Washburn has never neglected since that time to take advantage of any opportunity which presented itself to annoy the combination which rele- gated him to private life. So far, however, his efforts have amounted to but little and his enemies have usual- ly bad the laugh on him in the end. An ex-member of the Minnesota legis- lature, who was in Washington last week, remarked that Washburn. was not open to conviction or he would bave long ago discovered the fact that he isa back number and that I influence is practically rally he has a number of personal friends in the United States senate, and this was his strong card in his contest against Goodnow’s con- firmation. It isa peculiar fact, how- ever, that Washburn in this fight had no backing’among Northwestern sen- ators which again demonstrates that “a prophet without honor in his own country. As is well known, the relations be- tween Washburn and Davis were never very cordial. One is a_states- man, the other a politician, at least he thought he was until Knute Nel- son camealong and gave him cards and spades in the political game. He will undoubtedly again be found in the list of senatorial candidates when Davis’ term expires. Nobody fami- liar with the feeling against Wash- burn in Minnesota, however, will oraalt him with any chance of suc- cess. The only really formidable can- didate likely to be in the field against Senator Davis is Charles A. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis. He has stated, how- ever, upon seyeral vccasions that he much preferred to be the king millet of the United States than one of the ninety representatives of the sover- eign states of the Union in the upper branch of the nationa? legislature where the most capable man must serve at least six years before he can occupy either a conspicuous or influ- ential position, To show the intense fecling be- = + | ex-senator while in Washington op- tween Washburn and Nelson it is only necessary to relate actions of the posing Goodnow’s confirmation. It) was noticed that during this time he never once entered the senate cham- ber. His attention was called to this singular proceeding by one of his for- mer colleagues and an explanation re- quested, “I will never put my foot inside the senate chamber. while Knute Nelson is a member of that body,”? was Washburn’s reply and_ his manner left no doubt that he meant what he said. Senator Nelson’s feelings towards the man he supplanted are probably about as cordial, but he is rather too shrewd to express them openly. Sen- ator Davis is not likely to soon forget tbe fact that Washburn practically secured all the federal patronage in Minnesota under the Harrison admin- istration, and also managed to take credit to himself for about all the lo- cal legislation accomplished for his state during his six years’ term in the senate. The chances are that he will likewise remember for quite a lengthy period that Senator Nelson prevented his securing appointments for several personal friends under the present ad- ministration and has also opposed him on several matters of national importance. Mr. Davis, however, is not vindictive and would never stoop to petty methods of getting even. There seems to be but one logical way of securing harmony in the Min- nesota senatorial delegation and that is to elect a Democratic senator—a re- sult that should be brought about. Senator Sherman during the greater part of his service in the senate man- aged to have a Democratic colleague and their relations were always ami- cable. There could never be any row over the distribution of patronage or similiar questions and there was little or no jealousy. The North Star state might try the experiment for one term. July Ladies’ Home Journal. Inspiritand sentiment the July Ladies’ Home Journai is interesting- y nation- al birth-month. An articleon ‘The Greatest Nation on Earth,” by Will- iam George Jordan, pictures, in a most vivid way, the vastness of the United States, and by simple compar- isons and telling illustrations con- trasts every phase of our greatness with that of other nations. Allied in patriotic sentiment is Clifford How- ard’s article. ‘When Dolly Madison Saved the Declaration of Independ- ence.” This tells the story of the heroism of President Madison’s wife, who saved the most precious do mentin America from falling into the hands of the British when Wash- ington w n flames. ‘The Women’s Patriotic Societies” gives the aims and purposes of these organizations and the requisites for membership. “Bifty Years of Postage - Stamp: brings to mind that just half a cen- tury ago our government made and sold its first stamps fur letter post- age. Now that the English royal family | is under review, George W. Smalley’s article on ‘“The Personal Side of the Prince of Wales” is timely, as it is interesting, in presenting a close view of the Heir Apparent in his everyday life. Edward W. Bok edit- orially addresses girl graduates, and discusses ‘Going Away in Summer.” Ia his series of Bible lessons, Evange- list Moody takes ‘‘Love” for the text, and ‘“‘Droch’”? writes on the timely theme of “Outdoor Books.” ‘The Bright Side of Disagreeable Things” reveals Robert J. Burdette’s cleverest vein. Lovers of fiction will share with ‘‘Cap’n Bill” the joys of his wed- ding invitation, and enter heartily into the tender wooing of ‘ Her Lad Along more practical lines are Mrs. Rorer’s lesson on making salad and salad ‘ dressing, and the care of the house in hot weather; Ruth Ashmore’s “What ‘Empty Stocking Clubs’ Can Do,” giving a novel idea for new clubs, and showing how the children of the poor can be aided and their Christmas made bright. The first article in a new series, -“The Ladies’ Home Journal’s’ Moderate Cost Houses,” by its own architect, gives most minute detail and practi- cal suggestion fora model suburban house. Articles on needle work for summer hours give many valuable suggestions. An artistic feature of striking interest is Alice Barber Ste- phens’ drawing of the American sum- mer girl, the opeuing illustration of the number.
