Stevens Makes ths Issua.
The St. Paul federal building is again
the Issue. Representative Stevens has
made formal demand on the people that
he be again elected to congress because
l:e succeeded in securing a further ap
propriation for the building. Inciden
tally he brings along the supervising
architect to prove that it is r.o joke;
that there really is an appropriation.
We should hardly have believed it of
Mr. Stevens. The scheme is getting
threadbare. Kiefer got himself elected
upon the strength of the new federal
building and the need of its enlarge
ment a couple of times. It Is neither
completed nor enlarged yet.
For yoars and years the completion
of that building has given employment
to ore or two people. The man who
built the walls died of loneliness, and
n "thing has ever been heard rf the men
who did the interior work. There is a
suspicion about this town that Is be
coming a more or less confirmed belief
that the building has no inside what
ever; that it is a shell upon the walls
of which may be hung the platform of
the Republican candidate for congress
in the Fourth district.
"I got $200,000 more for the building,"
says Mr. Stevens. "It will be finished,"
saya Mr. Stevens, "so far as the pres
ent portion i, s concerned-, in the course
of a year." The supervising architect
booms Mr. Stevens* little game along
by intimating in a very reserved sort
of way that the addition may be start
ed in the course of two years.
It takes some audacity in a candidate
for congress to put that building be
fore the people as a claim for their suf
frages. The building, as far as it has
gone, should be a standing menace to
the political future of everybody who
has had to do with it for the past four
years. We are astonished that Mr.
Stevens has the nerve to suppose that
people are such idiots as to give him
any consideration for the promises he
has advanced and secured by mortgage
on the federal building as it stands.
Republican Estimate of Alger.
The evident disposition in the West
generally to, if not condone, forgive
the administration for the fearful ills
that the soldiers have been subjected to
in the Spanish war is not observable
in tho Fast. They take little things
like the hilling of men by hundreds
through neglect or thievery rather
hardly in the coast states. There is
even on the part of some of the most
prominent of the Republican party or
gans a disposition to arraign the ad
ministration for the tortures that were
inflicted on the soldiers in the camps
of the South and In Cuba. It is argued
by some of the papers that it ls not
Alger who ls alone to blame; that the
ignorance or criminality of the secre
tary of war makes no particular differ
ence; that his criminality may be treat
ed as it should be, by prosecution and
conviction. They are going to the ex
treme of making the president respon
sible for the actions of his agent in the
war department. The Providence (R.
I.) Journal strikes at the base of the
matter in the course of a vigorous arti
cle ln this wise. The excerpt from the
article requires no comment from a
Democratic source:
'Indeed, nothing but the extreme blindness
and prejudice ot" partisanship can be expected
to prevent the anger of the people from fall
ing with full force on the administration
and Its head, through the party it represents,
There is no injustice in making the president
share with his secretary the responsibility
for the pitiful state of things which private
charity is now trying to alleviate. He is
the real head of the war department, Secre
tary Alger being merely his agent and ap
pointee. He was told when he selected this
man, and no doubt knew perfectly well him
self, that he was not fit for the place even
In times of peace, and that If war should
come he wouid bo an utter failure. Yet for
political reasons, he appointed him. Why
should he not now be held responsible for
the consequences? Moreover, he has had
ample opportunity to watch at the closest
range all that Alger has been doing ln pre
paring for the war during Its progress and
since its close. His failure to Interfere
amounts to Indorsement of the secretary's
conduct. He has not right to hope to escape
his share of the terrible responsibility for the
sick, dying and dead soldiers who, but for
the gross incompetence of his agents and sub
ordinates, would today be healthy and happy
heroes, ready for further service on the field
whenever called upon."
The Philadelphia Builetin, also Re
publican, Is equally emphatic, as note
tho following:
"If the president wishes to save his admin
istration in popular respect, as well as to
maintain its usefulness, his flrst duty will
be to request the secretary of war to hand
ln his Immediate resignation. Even if Alger
did not deserve to bo punished by prompt re
tirement to private life, he has totally ceased
to give either political or official strength to
the administration."
Going in on (Hitter.
For a historic event, the arrival of
the American commission at Havana
was a commonplace affair. Their com
ing marked the beginning of the end
of Spain's dominion in the Western
world, but for all that they might have
been a party of Cook's tourists, so far
as display was concerned. There was
r.o triumphal entry Into the Cuban
capital, no warships grim and frown
ing, only a transport flying a white
flag and a few gentlemen, in uniform
true, but far less ornate than volun
teer firemen on parade.
In Havana they understand how to
do these things. Spaniards are more
accustomed to such negotiations than
the Americans are anyway. They
understand how to throw eclat into
even a surrender. Did the Spaniards
wear the air of defeat? Not at all.
They came as If the whole affair was
a picnic organized to display their
taste in color. Gen. Solano wore a
crimson sash, Maj. Benitz a blue sash,
while Dr. Congosto was attired in a
dress coat and a silk hat. It ls warm
in Havana, but the doctor, in defer
ence to the occasion, might have added
a necktie and spats. But the lack in
the toilet of the secretary of the au
tonomous government was more than
equalized by the other gentlemen.
Their gold lace and braid brought the
average up to the standard of the
Light Horse Harry Dee guards, of
Wauchula, Fla., and the Light Horse
Harrys, as is well known, when on pa
rade would make a regiment of Uhlans
with tin foil breastplates and hand
carved lances look like a funeral pro
cession.
Snn in has undoubtedly scored the
first points In tho game of diplomacy
in Cuba. America, as tho thing stands,
is a very bad s.-cond. Secretary Alger
would do well to hapten to a Jewelry
store and buy new uniforms for the
United States commissioners before
there ls another meeting. It was a
mistake to send them South without
so much as one crimson and blue gash.
Unless the color scheme on the Amer
ican side is livened up at once. Blanco

the United States for blundering about
in Havana harbor with the Maine.
Speaking of Receptions.
There has been a great deal of talk
hereabouts aa to what a welcoming
the boys would g^t when they return
ed from the front. Well, here are a
couple of regiments of volunteers al
most ready to return, and what prep
aration has been made for that wel
come, outside of the homes to which
tin y belong?
Tomorrow a fragment of the Third
infantry. U. S. A., will be in St. Paul.
If the people are fond of heroes they
are* not liktly to get a better sample
to welcome. There will only be about
250 of tht; members of the Third. That
is all there are left of the 650 nu-n who
dashed up the hill at Santiago. The
rest of them are dead, sirk, wounded
or have been sent somewhere to get
well of their wounds. It might not be
a had idea to get into lh.^ habit of wel
coming the soldier.-, by trying it on the
remains of the Third.
It might be possible to make some
arrangement for the welcome today. It
will take a little some-thing beside talk
to make the men fed that they are
really being welcomed back. Let us
hope that something more than talk
will be forthcoming.
The fact is that we, like the parrot,
talk too much. Let's do something.
Elizabeth of Austria.
It appears that under the unfortunate con
ditions of the particular Swiss canton ln
which Berne ls located lt will net be po;si
ble to administer any other legal punishme'-H
to the assassin of the enipr_s_ of Austria
than to send him to a model Swiss prison to
spend the rest of his life. It is certain his
Incarceration ln a Swiss prison will be a dis
tinct improvement on his condition, for the
Swiss run their prisons on rather a better
plan than they run their inns. It may be
suggested that ln this matter as in other,
the Swiss have been a bit behind tha t'.nies.
If they had thought of it before It wcu d
have been easy enough to havo iniporttd a
few gentlemen from Arizona, and tht 1 - diffi
culty ln which they find themselves would
have been avoided. It is to be presumed
that there aro ropes to be had ln Switzerland
and that the telegraph pele has n^t yet been
abolished. The improvement suggested would
have disposed of a disagreeable International
complication— and the process that wou d
hava been used would have disposed uf and
not hurt the assassin.
• • •
The Interest that has been aroused the
world over In the assassination of Elizabeth
is entirely sympathetic. It Is a good sign cf
the times that this ls so. It go?s to p ove
that a Marie Antoinette would not be possi
ble in these days — even though the k ng*y
Idea ls less possible than lt was at the closa
of the last century. Perhaps It took the sao
riflce of a Marie Antoinette to bring the
world up to this standard. The unfortunate
empress of Austria was net sacrificed to the
end that men might be redeemed. She wa3
made the victim of the lust for blo^d of a per
son without human feeling. His ultimate dis
position will hold no particular interest for
the world, for he has done his worst He did
by the way remove the most picturesque fig
ure ln the ranks of European royalties.
• • *
Even as royalties go in continental Europe
she was unique. Elizabeth was born a Wlt
telsbaeh, of the reigning houso of Bavaria.
The Bavarian monarchs claim such antiquity
for their line that even the Hap-burgs of
Austria, dating back to the tenth century, felt
no derogation of the family dignity in ac
cepting her for the wife of the emperor. She
was the niece of a mad king of Bavaria; she
died the cousin of two mad monarehs— one
dead, the other a hopeless madman. Lud
wig, her cousin, the pre-ent king of Bavarii,
ls now kept closely incarcerate;!, suffering
from such frightful mental debasement that
he has a mania to kill. His brother, the for
mer king, was equally mad and died as a
result of hia malady.
• » •
Elizabeth was 61 years of age at ths time
of her death. She wes a famous beauty
forty years ago and would have divided the
homage of the trifling society cf the Second
Empire but for the fact that she considered
Eugenic, empress of the French, who was
born Countess of Montljo, of left-handed
Bourbon ancestry, an upstart. In the slxtle3
the ultra fashionables of Europe took their
cue from the Austrian court rather than from
the Tullerles, and there never was much in
common between the two crowned beauts
of Europe. In the salons of the Faubourg St
Germain the lead of Elizabeth was followed
rather than the styles set by the queen of the
Tuileries.
• • •
It ls thirty years and more since the un
happy mental condition of her family began
to take such form ln her that Elizabeth was
noted for her oddities. The emperor of Aus
tria may be broken now ln his old age at her
death, but there was little In common be
tween them when they were younger. She
was fond of traveling Incognito. She bought
an island In the Greek archipelago and made
it into a place of beauty. She held court
there, and she went occasionally to Swiss and
Italian watering places. Her jewels— sha
was possessed of some of the mot remarka
ble in the world — caused her to bo talked of
everywhere. She affected always the empire
style of coiffure and her dresses have net
been in the mode for many years. Her last
photograph was taken ln the early '703. She
did not cease to be a figure of note in tha
watering places even after her family afflic
tions became oppressive and her vagaries
more noted.
• • c
One daughter, Stephanie, died early. Her
nephew, the Archduke Johann, fell In love
with and married an actress. He was a
sailor, and when the marriage became known
he repudiated his family and became tho cap
tain of a merchant ship. He sailed on a
voyage around the Horn and wa.> never again
heard of. Her sister, the Duchesse d'Alencon,
was burned to death. When the Archduke
Rudolph, her son, was murdered at Meyer
ling the end came for her. The worid
was startled by the occurrence, but lt
was said that the empress did not
know of lt for three years afterwards.
In her old age she waa chlldles. ar.d had
been going about the world as a simple lady
of fortune, living with the people, Indulging la
very large charities, and had shaken the
weight of her Imperial s. ation from her oily
to find surcease of sorrow by the dagger of
an assassin. There was more in the life of
Elizabeth to elicit sympathy than in tfce man
ner of her death. Yet the manner of it will
make people shudder when lc Is taken ln
connection with the fearful fata of the other
members of her house.

"Imperialism and Algerlsm together will
bend the back of many a Republican candi

Republican (Ind.). "The Vermont election is
a warning to the revolutionists who would

"It is clear enough that the Democrats
ln the Middle and Western states are pre
paring to make the treatment of the sol
diers In the Southern camps the principal
Issue of the fall elections," the Portland
Press (Rep.) says. "The way to meat and
effectually settle that issue ls for the ad
ministration to take prompt and energetlo
measures to fix the responsibility for any
neglect or mismanagement that may have
occurred and see that the guilty parties are
punished. It ls all very well to stand by
men when under flre, provided there ls no
good reason for the firing, but to protect a
man who doesn't deserve protection Is the
worst possible policy."

"The war policy of President McKinley
has boen Riven generous support by the peo
ple, regardless of party," notes the Philadel
phia Tlmas (Ind. Dem.). "There is greater
confusion and division ln tho Democratic

the incompetency displayed by the war de
partment, and a lot of the Vermont Repub
licans appear to have expressed their dis

Epistles to St. Paul.
There Is many a new turn to an old tale.
A Court block lawyer met a friend the other
day who asked:
"Did you hear about Charley Danker being
court-martialed." ■
"No. What for?" all in one breath.
'Maj. I. can told him to curry his horse and
he did not remember the mane."
The lawyer remembered seeing lt In Judge
or The O1 o b oor somewhere, but he decided
he would work It on some one if he had to go
to the other end of town. He met a youjig
lady who had some friends ln the volunteers.
"Did you hear." he asked, "that Harry
had been court-martialed?"
But instead of replying. "NoJ What for?"
the young woman answered, "Is that so?"
The nonplussed barrister reiterated that
lt was.
"Why, how quick he was promoted," she
replied with delicious naivete.

William Henry Eustis has found a new one.
It ls ten chances to one that Joey Bagstock
Mannix put up the job. Joey has boarded at
the Nicollet house ln Minneapolis so long that
he unconsciously mailed a check to Col.
Wood every month while he was globe trot
ting. It never was cashed, of course, but that
shows the force of habit. A lot of the travel
ing men boaid at the Nicollet, too, and
Joe used to get ten minutes late at the
offlce frequently feeling them out on the
depth of popular sentiment for this, that or
the other candidate out ln the country. So
Joe says to William Henry: "Hy," says he.
for Joe is very chummy with his former
chief, "I tell you what you do. You give a
dinner to the traveling men. I'll pick out a
lot of the good fellows and we'll organize
a Eustis Traveling Men's club. Then you
give 'em a dinner. Lots of 'em 'd rather
stay home with their folks perhaps and it
won't cost much, but I'll run around and get
their names to tho charter list. Then you
see every drummer that goes out on the
road '11 be telling the country merchants
what a grand good mayor you made, and
what a good governor you're going to he.
and It will warm up the country districts
like a prairie fire. There are 3.C00 traveling
men In this state and each one of them sees
probably 10 to 25 merchants a day. which, in
the course of the seven weeks between now
and election, even counting ten a day, makes
1,260,000 voters who will have been Jollied
with Eustls sentiment."
"Why, there arn't that many voters ln the
state," cut in the candidate for governor, who
hardly knew whether he was being "kidded"
or whether Joey was In earnest.
But Joey admitted that perhaps he had let
his enthusiasm run too far into figures and
they would not see that many, but they would
see a good many, bo the gubernatorial nomi
nee gave the dinner and the club was or
ganized.

It developed yesterday that there were some
curious facts In regard to the shooting on
Seventh street late Monday night which Aid
not get Into the accounts yesterday. The
soldier who was shot at did not belong to
Lieut. Vincent's regiment, but he felt guilty
and he fancied Vincent was a provost officer
from the Third regulars, to which he belonged.
Vincent did not recognize the man, but when
he started to run, concluded he must be one
of the Fifteenth's boys. Patrolman Dave
Hennessy did not know much about either of
the blue-coats, but fired a couple of shots
high. The fugitive dropped like a log and
lay groaning when the policeman and the
pursuer came up.
"My God, I'm shot," he whispered, as he
lay there moaning.
"Go on with you," retorted Hennessy,
"there ain't nothln' in the gun but blanks."
Vincent thought lt was worth the time to
take the fellow back to the Third regiment
train where he belonged after that bluff.

A CLLB E EACH COUNTY
DEMOCRATS HAVE AN ORGANIZA
TION RIVALING THE RE
PUBLICANS'
COUNTING OUT TO BE BARRED
Hereafter the Democrats Will Have
Regularly Established < aminU
tees ln Every County to Watch
Those From Which the Returns
Are Slow Eustls and Ills Fabian
Tactics <uii.se Impatience.
Reports to Chairman Rosing, of the
Democratic stato central committee,
are to the effect that the county or
ganizations are in the best of trim,
which means that the Republicans are
this year for the first time to meet a
thoroughly organized Democratic par
ty.
Hitherto the Republicans have had
all the best of it in the matter of con
tinuing their organizations through
from one campaign to the next,
and there is not a doubt but that one,
two, and possibly three, governors hay«
been counted In by the Republicans in
the last twenty years by the mere fact
of their superior organization.
litis year, however, the Democrats
have ln nearly every county a commit
tee and club organization which, while
not as old, ia every bit as active as
the Republican machine, and the bat
tle will be a good oiitt.
* * *
At Democratic headquarters little Is
being done until Lieut. Lind returns
from the South, which, according to
present plans, will be by the middle of
next week at the outside. It is not
known here as yet whether the New
Ulm man wants to assume the aggres
sive in the campaign, but his past
record ls taken as a criterion from
which to judge that the fur will begin
to fly within a few minutes after his
arrival here.
aaa
It ls growing more and more appar
ent that Eustls is going to pursue the
tactics of Fabius rather than those of
Leonidas.
The longer the fatal day can be stav
ed off the better lt will suit the Min
neapolis man. He addressed, so they
say, fifty men at Owatonna when he
spoke at the county fair of Steele coun
ty. Of course he had a larger audience,
but they were all women and children.
His county fairs have been a "frost,"
as the saying is. There is not enthus
iasm enough in the Republican party
when lt comes to the gubernatorial
ticket to warm a nickel-plated sad iron
for two handkerchiefs and a celluloid
collar. William Henry is distinctly a
depressing influence.
He has alienated many elements; he
has failed to excite the enthusiasm of
those for whose plaudits he has played
in his public life.
He gave the brewers and distillers
half a loaf in hia saloon policy, but
he advertised them so liberally that ev
erything he gained for them in Minne
apolis he lost elsewhere. They figure
that they owe him nothing. The Eus
tis policy suits them all right, without
Its brass band. If William Henry could
play his music with muffled drum, he
would be almost an ideal candidate for
the liquor interests. They are satis
fled of his practical sympathy with the
sale of liquor as far as any moral ob
jections to it may be concerned, and
they welcome him as a Moses among
a long list of fanatics. But his meth
ods excite the fanatics who have not
risen to public office and half the effect
of his benefieient interest ia destroyed.
William Henry pleaded for economy
ln municipal affairs, but the mask waa
torn off in the hospital deal. He bas
not declared for economy in state
finance since his nomination and the
people of the state might be pardoned
for skepticism If he did make suoh pro
fessions.
He has antagonized the old soldier.
He has not only fallen in with that
school of younger Republicanism
which ba?es Its calculations on the as
sumption that the old soldier, political
ly, hap had enough of the good things,
but William Henry went to work and
stigmatized the old soldier as an object
cf public charity.
The old soldier admits that some of
his comrades, crippled and maimed, or
prostrated by camp diseases, are. But
tbey submit that the old soldier, per se,
granting that he has a good physique
and equal ability, Is entitled to as good,
or perhaps even better, consideration
at the hands of hie fellow citizens than
the political puppet whose mettle has
never been tried under flre, and whose
political warfare has sometimes par
taken of that of the guerrilla.
The cry of political Independence that
Eustls fostered before the convention
has been dropped. You could almost
hear it drop. Why? All the political
independence Eustis, as mayor, showed
was In the gratification of an antagon
ism against John Goodnow. then the
leader, whether self-assumed the honor
or not, of Minneapolis Republicans. Be
yond throwing it into Goodnow and
Goodnow's machinists, Eustis waa al
ways a Republican, as was George A.
Brackett. h's friend.
The fact remains that Eustls la
driven into a corner. He dare not as
sume the aggressive. His managers
know, and they have practically con
vinced William Henry, that the fewer
speeches he makes thla campaign tha
less damage he will do himself. Breaks
are in direct ratio to speeches with the
Minneapolis man. He is not a good
campaigner. He ls a delightful lec
turer, an excellent entertainer, but he
ls not a virile orator, and when he
dees leave the set and sounding plati
tudes of the lecture stage for the forum
of the political campaigner, he is with
out a compass, and lost on a strange
sea.
To have Eustls go on the stump
would be the happiest outcome con
ceivable by the Democratic committee
men. If Eustis would get out two
weeks before Dind's return. Lieut. John
would not have to take to the stump
at all.
But William High is back in the
brush.
He knows his weakness and he won't
come out till be is smoked out.

of the committee on literature of the

Speaking of the congressional situa
tion throughout the country as a whole,
Mr. McCleary said that in the East,
where some of the normally strong
Democratic destrlcts had returned Re
publicans two years ago. there might
be Democrats returned this year. In
other sections, especially in the West,
the Republicans might show heavy
gains. Both housea, he Said, will have
a good working Republican majority
in the next congresa.
At the coming session, Mr. McCleary
said, the chief work from a domestic
standpoint, would be in the line of cur

such at Duluth that if these men are
