NODiNGER THERE.

When there is chance for war with
Great Britain there need be no great So
lcitude lest the Northwest may be over
run and absorbed by the forces invad-
ing by way of Canada. That house COM
mtttee Oh the militia, the other day, was
neediessly troubled over the peril Of
this section in the bellicose contingency.
In the last war with England the danger
from Canada was far greater than it can
be again. 1t is not remembered that Ill
either of the wars of the past any nota-
BILE results were had by the attacks
from the rear. 1t would be needless
waste of means 10 provide elaborate and
extensive fortificationsi in that direction.
Canada has no army to speak of,and Eng
land has few forces that could be spared
to invade this country. 1t could not
get 10000 men there in two months, and
before that time the United States
could oyerrun Canada with volunteer
armies and take possession of all I'M
portant points. No such stupidity will
ever be perpetrated as to attempt to i'll
wade this country by way of Canada. 1t
would but expedite the day, which cam
not be so very distant at the best, when
the British flag would cease to float any
where OH this continent.

A PERMANENT CIRCUS.

The old-fasnoned circus of genera
ton ago has been nearly lost in the
menagerie and museum accretions. The
clown has not quite lost his place, but
he has seemed as relic and not a star
actor. The equine and athletic feats
have been continued, but the multipli
cations and trappings of the big show
have made them incidental rather than
the leading part. New York is to have
a permanent circus. in which the old
standards will have the chief place.
The performances are to be of
the best, the most accomplished and
skilled professionals being secured.
There will be exhibitions of rare
training in the animal economy, and the
possibilities of the human powers in
physical development will be shown,
while the clowns will rise to the dig
nifty of cultured caterers to the popular
humor. Such all institution is to be
commended. While it affords amuse-
ment and excites healthful mirth, it
presents to the young object lessons in
the use Of the physical powers. 1t stirs
their ambition to develop their own
capacities, and should be salutary and
free from all demoralizing influences.
Probably the time will come when every
large city will sustain circus.

TIE TILDEN CLUE.

All talk of Democratic success in the
the young men can be enlisted in the
party's service. Party affiliations are
matters of inherited prejudice in this
country more than among any other free
people in the world, and they are more
so in the West titan IN the East. This
condition of affairs is not to our credit.
Independence is an evidence of the
higher intelligence, and, as Minnesota's
voters become better yersed in our ma
TONS history and more thoroughly con-
versant with economic principles, they
will divide as reason directs them rather
than as their feelings suggest. This is
the way it ought to be.
To hasten the coming of such a hap
pier time, campaigns of education,
much sneered at by the flippant. are
very valuable. Education from the
platform and education from the news
papers count in this work. But much
more effective than either of these is
the education which comes from
friendly discussions in the village
lounging places and IN the city's clubs.
Are the young Democrats of st. Paul
strengthening their faith, making con-
verts and storing up ammunition for
the coming campaign after this method?
The GLOBE fears that they are not do
ing all that ought to be done. Could not
the TiIden club or some similar organi-
cation be given little more vitality by
the careful employment of the conyen
tional devices for that purpose? Other
towns East and West have in such or
CARNATIONS powerful centerS for the
diffusion of political thought. st. Paul
should not be behind its neighbors in
this, ANY more than in any other respect.

THE STORAGE BATTERY.

Strenuous opposition is being made in
Detroit, Philadelphia and some other
cities to the Introduction of the trolley
system for street car traction. A recent
accident at Omaha that temporarily dis
abled the car and telephone service is
made to do duty against the overhead
wires. The council in Philadelphia has
granted the privilege to erect 10000
poles. partially in the business streets,
and some of the papers are working
themselves into big sweat over it. A
protesting mass meeting has been held,
and the Inquirer wants a crusade against
the outrage" The Detroit Free Press
denounces the proposed introduction of
the method in leading street there as an
intolerable Disagreement and obstruc-
ton, as we'll as constant menace to life
and limb. There is some reason for its
antagOniSm to this system if it is fully
warranted in the statement that the
storage battery experiment in progress
there for some time past ''haS been dem
onstrated to be practicable beyond a
peradyenture." Itview of this claim, it
hopes ''there will be no attempt to set
up the dangerous trolley in Detroit, even
by way of experiment" That the stor-
age battery system is somewhat more
expensive is conceded, but it is insisted
that the smaller liability to costly acct
dents affords compensation for this.
There are objections to the poles and
wires in the streets; but the eX-
perience in st. Paul the past
two years does not make the danger to
passengers or passers in the streets at
all alarming. 1t is not Remembered that
any one Of these has suffered seriously
from this cause. A horse or two may
have been shocked by a broken wire.
but more have had legs broken by the
cable slot. The wires and poles are not
ornamental, and in some of the narrower
business streets are liable to be very
much in the way at times. 1t is encour-
aging to learn that the storage battery
motor promises to be success. If it
costs more than the trolley to operate, 1t
Is probably less expensive than the
cable. Should the latter be displaced
on East Seventh street, it might be well
to insist upon the storage battery in
stead of the trolley there.

AERIAL WARFARE.

Perhaps in some future, possibly not
very distant era, our versatile and soar
ing sage, IGNATIUs DoNNELLY, may be
looked back to as a sort of Mother Ship
ton. His direful pictures in Caesars
Column" of aerial forces carrying devas-
tation and destruction may become in
tanSely realistic. There is suggestion
of this in the recent reports of the use
of balloons by the Germans in connec-
ton with armies. The Russians have
Notifications and large military forces
convenient TO the German frontier,
ready to observe any movements of
the emperor, should he sally out on
q pulverizing tour in the domin-
iohS of the car. There is sur
prise and apprehension of late in these
quarters at the sight of balloons soaring
far above and taking observations of
the Russian situation. 1t has seemed
to the Russians that tn csc aspiring Ger
mans had learned the art of aerial naVi-
cation, and are able to guide their bal
looms at will With their powerful
glasses the Germans could examine the
details of the def6nses at their leisure,
and gather all desired information.
They were at too great an altitude to
be reached by any guns, and could
laugh at all attempts to disturb them.
After completing their work the bal
loon visitors returned to German terri
tory, with no apparent difficulty in guild
ing their craft If the Germans have
really solved the problem of control
and guidance of air ships. there are
hardly any limits to the possibilities of
their use in war. DoNNELLY may have
had q vision of the new departure when
he saw the demons of the air dropping
down remorseiesS destruction upon
towns and people. No Notifications
would be of much service if dynamite
bombs and other explosives could be let
down from above Into the spots where
they might do the most execution. The
livelier imagination might have full eX-
ercise in portraylDg the terrors of bal
loon feet sent up from ships of war out
of the range of the forts, sailing over
New York city and throwing down the
deStructives. They might be met by
opposing balloon ornaments, and great
battles take place in the sky. That IS
not, however, so immediate prospect
as to cause depreciation in city realty
or require provisions for protection of
life. But it is not more improbable
than some of the modern arts seemed a
generation ago.

STATE PRESS POLITICS.

The Albert Lea Enterprise believes Joel P.
Heatwole can accomplish more as editor of
the Northfield News than he can as governor
of this state. Happy thought Perhaps the
Enterprise is right.
A sage observation of the Renville Star
runs to the.effect that any man who has the
sand to run for the office of governor of this
state needs considerable backing up by bis
friends.
The Minneapolis and st. Paul papers are
INDUCING in all immense amount of twaddle
about Judge Wilson. He is. as he always
has been, the pride of the Winona Democ-
Taey, and they now, as they always have. de-
light to do him honor.-Winona Herald
That Gov. Merriam has freely used the par
doning power in cases where liquor cut quite
a figure. is the publicly announced opinion of
the Red Wing Republican
Says the Brownsville News: 1t is really
amusing to hear the Republican papers talk
about free coinage of silver being aDemocratic
measure. and about putting the Democratic
party in hole on account of the free silver
issue. ETC., just as If free coinage law could
or would be enacted without the aid of Re-
publican votes in congress, and without the
signature of Republican president.
Very frankly the Atwater Press comes to
the front and says: We might as well admit
the truth. II will be impossible to defeat
Grover Cleveland if he receives the presidep-
tial nomination and IS provided with good
Western running mate.
The Winona Herald goes not far astray in
saying: With Judge Wilson as delegate at
large and AID Beutner as alternate. Winona
will be well and ably represented.
The Saltwater Gazette insinuates that the
tariff is local issue when it says: 1.-THE
delegate from Saltwater may be in favor of
free silver and Grover Cleveland but he isn't
in favor of free trade-on lumber.
Speaking of gubernatorial candidates, the
Chatfield Democrat believes that Attorney
General Clapp easily leads i'll the race.
