But these fellows are not a majority in this district, and are not likely to be, if we may depend cn the frequeut expressions heard from prominent Republican Sa rgge Justics Davip J. Brewer (Repub- | lican), of the United States supreme court, writes as follows to the New York World: ‘The Czsars saw the spears of their victorious legions flash- ing in the sunlight of every known land, and in their triumphant return from customs amounted to $233,857,- 958, an‘increase over the preceding fiscal year of $28,720,577. The lead- ing items of the year’s expenditures are for army, navy and pensions The army and navy spent between them $100,743,147, which 1s $1,07,- goo more in round figures, than they spent in 1897, the year preceding the Spanish war. The disbursements for pensions foot up $140,885.900, which is nearly $1,800,000 more than for the preceding fiscal year. ‘The lessen of these figures needs no enforcing. Imperialism comes high. ka TRIBUTE TO TOWNE. The Washington Times, in its lead- ing editorial of recent date, pays the tollowing tnbute to. Hon, Charles A. Towne: “It would he difficult to discover | in the array of people politically prom- inent in America at this time, a char- acter more worthy of respect and ad- miration than that of Hon. Charles A. Towne of Minnesota. True to his faith and principles, single-minded, sincere and unselfish, he stands be- fore the people today an examplar of ; simple, self-sacrificing Americaa hon- esty and patriotism. “No doubt Mr. Towne wouid have liked to be vice president of the United States, If he had used his opportunities at Kansas City as a demagogue would have utilized them, he might perhaps have forced him- self upon the ticket with Mr. Bryan, who wanted him as his running mate with all the intensity of his aggressive and determined nature. But Mr, ‘Towne had aims and purposes higher than the gratification of a personal ambition. Already the vice presi- dential candidate of the Populists, he could have been named for the same office by the Silver Republicans at their Kansas City convention. *‘Thus re-inforced, his claims upon the Democratic national convention, con- sidering the circumstances of the year, might have been dangerous to ignore. But rather than embarrass the great leader he hopes to see in the White House next year, or to ring any element of discord into the camp of the popular army which has been mobolized to fight for the people they brought with them the accumu- lated wealth of ali the nations they had subdued. The splendor of imper- ial Rome outshone the world, but the {wealth thus obtamed without value given undermined the empire, and the glory of Rome 1s simply a mem- ory. Napoleon beheld the white star of destiny—and then? Does human nature change through the centunes? We stand today facing the temptation which comes from the possibility of rapidly wealth. What right bave we to an- ticipate that the same result will not follow if we pursue the same course of taking what we have not fully earned? accumulated eer Ra THE Republicans of the Fifteenth judicial district are evidently going to move heaven and hell, so to speak, in their endeavor to defeat Judge- i lol- land.. They have nommated W. S. McClenahan of Brainerd, who only a few weeks ago renounced the Demo- cratic faith and went over to the Republicans, presumably on the strength of a promise of receiving the judicial nomination. One thing is certain: McClenahan will get no Democratic votes, as it is not to be expected that a deserter from his party will receive any support from his one time constituents. Then, too, there are hundreds of mdependent Republicans who do not take Kindly to the action of their party in giving the nomination to so new an acquisi- tion to their ranks as 1s Mr., McClana- han, and they will not accord him very hearty support. Judge Holland 1s immensely popular in the district and he seems to stand an excellent chance of winning —Wadena Tribune. —.>_—_ COST OF MILITARISM. New York World: The national balance sheet for the fiscal year which ended June 3, is full of instruc- tion. The tctal receipts were $568,- 998,048. The total expenditures were $387,759,171. This. shows a surplus of $81,129,777, the largest since 18go. The largest item of receipts was from internal revenue taxes, which yielded $296,299,388, being an excess of $22, 862,227 over the receipts from the same last year. This represents the sull unrelieved and increasing burden of the special war taxes. The receipts and institutions against the trust and monopoly forces who would subvert them, he refused to let his name go before the Silver Republican conven- tion, and~has now announced his in- tention to decline the populist nom1- nation when he shall be formally notified that it has been given to him. “Without a shadow of regret or soreness in his attitude, Mr. Towne appeared as ‘one of the distinguished receiving ‘ party which greeted his successful competitor, Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, when that gentleman reached Lincoln to pay his respects to the presidential candidate, If he concealed a wish that he might have been the nominee instead of the Illi- nois statesman and ex-vice president, it did not show in speech or manner, and nothing of the kind could possibly detract from the earnestness and fixity of purpose with which he will enter the fight for the preservation of liberty and the constitution. “It is a remarkable and pleasant spectacle! Charles A. Towne, when he withdrew from the Republican party in 1896, because he felt that an honest man could no longer remain in it, notoriously resigned a_ politital future as a Republican, which his striking ability and remarkable accom- j plishments as a fublic man and a thinker made it certain would be dis- tinguished in an unusual degree. He realized the sacrifice, but did not hes1- tate’ to make it on the altar of his conscience. During the four years that since have elapsed, he has never swerved from the path of duty he ther’ marked out for himself. He is who, like the chieftain he~ does battle under, is incapable of conceding the least modicum of principle for the sake of expediency. He is of the stuff of which grard leaders of men are made. He cannot be vice presi- dent next year, but, happily, he 1s young and may come to even greater honors hereafter. He thoroughly de- serves the respect of friend and enemy alike. He is a Chevalier Bayard of American politics, a type nearly ex- tinct. He has richly earned whatever the combined parties of the people can give him, in recognition of his de- votion and service, should their cause be blessed with victory in November.” ROYAL ETIQUETTE. In Spain No Subject Is Ever Permitted to Touch the Person of a King. Old world privilege and restriction reign supreme in Spain, where there is a law that no subjéct shall touch the person of the king or queen, says the New York Mail and Express, The present king of Spain nearly suffered a severe fall from this rule in his childhood. An aunt of his made him a present of a swing. When he used it for the first time the motion fright- ened him, and he began to cry. Where- upon a lackey lifted him quickly out of it and so, no doubt, preserved him from falling. ‘The breach of etiquette, however, was fla- grant and dreadful. The queen was obliged to punish it by dismissing the man from his post. At the same time she showed her real feelings on the subject by appointing him immediately to another and bet- ter place in the royal household. In another case a queen of Spain nearly lost her life in a dreadful way owing to this peculiar rule. She had been thrown when out riding, and, her foot catching in the stirrup, she was dragged. Her escort would not risk interference, and she would have been dashed to pieces but for the heroic in- terposition of a young man who stopped the horse and released her from her dangerous position. As soon as they saw she was safe her escort turned to arrest the traitor who dared to touch the queen’s foot, but he was not to be seen. Knowing well the penalty he had incurred, he made off at once, fled for his life and did not stop until he had crossed the frontier. REASONS FOR REFUSING. Capricious Women Who Preferred No Lovers to Those They Had Accepted. A young woman of Birmingham, England, became betrothed last sum- mer to a young solicitor, preliminaries were arranged and the fond couple only awaited the arrival home of the | A bridegroom’s father from a lengthy sojourn in America to be made one. In due course he came, but when the bride beheld one who, while he would have easily qualified for “fat man” at a fair, asserted that in his son he once again beheld himself in youth, she refused to fulfill her promise, and now secks a lover to whom the future does not threaten such emple propor tions. Some years since a lady was en- gaged to a gentleman who bore the name and was a relation of a certain gallant soldier, who, a month previous to the date appointed for the cere- mony, while on service abroad had the misfortune to meet with a severe reverse. No sooner did the news come to hand than the lady, a member of whose family had been wounded in the disastrous action, declined, unless he should promise to change his name, to become his wife. To this caprice the gentleman refused to sub- mit, so the match fell through. HIS FIRST FIRE ASSIGNMENT. The Excuse Given by a New Reporter for Neglecting His Duty. “Say, hustle down to the stockyards right away,” said the city editor to the new reporter, says the Chicago Chronicle. “There’s a fire down there. It may turn into something big, but even if it doesn’t we want a good lit- tle story on it anyhow.” The new reperter shot out of the door, with perspiration starting at every pore. The fire did not turn out to be a great conflagration, so no more reporters were sent down to the yards to take care of it. The city editor depended upon his new man for the story. But for some unaccount- able reason the reporter failed to re- turn to the office and the paper had to go to press without the account of the fire.,” The next day about noon the new man strolled leisurely into the office entirely unprepared for the thunder- storm that broke over his head as soon as the city editor caught sight of him. “Say, what the dickens is the mat- ter with you anyhow?” said the edit- or. “Why didn’t you write up that fire that I told you to?” “Why,” gasped the youth, “there wasn't any use to write it up, every body was there and saw it.” KNEW ALL ABOUT GUNS. “Piet” Joubert Astonished All Hear- ers, Including Krupp the Famous Himself. An American woman tells of a visit she and some friends paid to the Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany, years ago, and of encountering. Peter Joubert before he thought of going to South Africa. The woman was the guest of the American ambassador and his wife, and at the works they were met by Krupp himself. In mak- ing their tour of the arsenal they were joined by a man who followed through each department, and in a few moments responded to a casual question about guns from_one of the party. Once having spoken he launched forth into such detailed de- scriptions of their manufacture that Krupp, who had hitherto been talk- ing, kept still and simply followed as one of the auditors. The man accom- panied) the party, explaining as he went, until the tour had been made. Then he bowed and retired. ~ “Who is that man who knows so much about guns?” demanded one of the party. “Oh, that’s a Dutchman named pt ate replied one of the offi- 7 COUNTY AND VILLAGE OFFICERS COUNTY.
