IT Would BE an Improvement.

Chief Delbrugge and his officers will
petition Council tomorrow night for a
change in the Police Court ordinance
allowing a session of Court daily at
three o'clock in the afternoon, as well
as at nine o'clock in the morning. I'm
der the present nne O'Clock system, the
officers on night turn making arrests,
after reporting off duty at five o'clock
in the morning, are either compelled to
stay out of bed until after Police Court,
or get up at eight o'clock for Court,
after having but about two hours sleep.
There will be no additional expense at
tending three o'clock Court, and such
a session would allow the night force
to get their sleep before appearing
against prisoners. d.

MiNNEsoTA's legislature is also akin &
hold OF the beet sugar idea. A bill has
been introduced in the state senate
which provides that $4,000 be appropri-
ated for the purpose of establishing a
school Of instruction in the manufacture
of beet sugar at the agricultural school
Of tho university. This amount is to be
devoted to the erection OF necessary
buildings and the purchase OF machin-
cry. The bill further provides that forty
acres of the experimental farm be devot-
ed to the raising of sugar beets, and au-
thorizes the board OF regents to con-
tract with farmers to raise and deliver
beets in such quantities as may be re-
qlired, paying therefor not less than 81
per ton at the factory. We do not take
much stock in the coddling OF such in
dustries by the state, but there is a
great chance for private enterprise in
the making Of beet sugar and big profits
for the capitalists who first get into the
field. The business is not an expert
ment. 1t is sure thing.

Lord Wolsely has made Zip his mind that
the Chinese are the coming nation and that
the Mongolans will overrun the world.
His predictions, his war nings and his ad
vice are formulated in an Article which is
printed in the Review of Reviews. the new
London periodical of which Mr.. Stead, for
lnerly editor of the Pail Mall Gazette. is
editor. People who like to be scared may
enjoy reading his views:
The battle Of Armageddon will take place
between the Chinese and the English-speak-
ing races. There will be, assume, another
war between France and Germany. and it
will be about the bloodiest war or series of
wars which we have seen Europe. But,
some day, great general or lawgiver will
arise in China, and the Chinese, who have
gin to progress. They will take to the pro-
fession of arms, and then they will hurl
themselves upon the Russian empire. Be-
fore the Chinese armies-as they POSSESS
every military virtue. are stolidly indiffer-
ent to death, and capable of inexhaustible
endurance-the Russians will go down.
Then the Chinese armies will march west
us into the sea. Asia will belong to them,
and then, at last, English, Americans, Aus
tralians. will have to rally for a last desper-
ate conflict. So certain do / regard this
that l think one fixed point of our policy
should be to strain every nerve and make
every sacrifice to keep on good terms wsth
China. China is great power.

THE LAST or THE CAPTAINS.

With the death OF General Sherman
tho last OF the great captains OF the civil
war passes away. Thomas, Hooker,
Meade, Burnside, Mcclellan, Grant,
Hancock, Sheridan, and host OF other
eminent commanders, had preceded him
to the other shore and he was an almost
isolated figure at the reunions and ban
quets OF the veterans for the past two or
three years Of his life. 1t is difficult to
fix ShermaE's rank as military com
mander. He undoubtedly possessed a
brilliant mind and had genius for war,
but he was hot headed, impulsive, ex-
travagant in speech, and frequently
cratic in action. He lacked the cool
temperament a,d evel-headedness of
Grant and had he been in the latter's
place it is doubtful IL he would have
been successful. He showed uneven
ness in all his campaigns, falling short
OF success in some, and in others, by
auickness Of movement and impetuosity
Of attack, achieving extraordinary re-
suits. His march from Atlanta to the
sea made him popular hero for time,
but as military enterprise it was task
easy Of accomplishment and called for
the exercise OF no great generalship.
Gen. Sherman injured his fame in later
years by the publication OF his memoirs,
which contained many errors of state
ment and injudicious criticisms on other
commanders and evoked acrid rejoin-
ders and sharp counter criticism. He
was also an indiscreet letter writer, and
his epistolary controversies, from some
Of which he retired worsted. would make
big volume. The name OF Sherman
will long be conspicuous in our military
annals, but we doubt il the military his
torian OF the future ranks him as gen-
eral with Grant or Thomas or Sheridan
on the union side, or with Lee on the
other.
