THE WAR SPIRIT.

BEN BUTLER once advanced the the
DRY that in every generation every i'm
portant nation engaged in a great war.
His notion was that after an ordinary
lifetime the horror of past carnage was
forgotten, and the instructive tendency
of men to quarrel forced them into bat
tie array and the conflict. We have
been at peace now for moro than a
quarter of a century, but should BENJA-
MIN HARRISON continue much longer
at the head of affairs, it will not be his
fault if war does not come. The bully
ing of Chill is not the most creditable
episode in our diplomatic history, and
had if been less helpless, the result
would not have been so happy. And
now with Great Britain there are
strained feelings and rumors of retalia-
ton and possible strife. 1t would seem
as though Eng land should be as anxious
as are we to preserve the seals OF the
North Pacific from determination, and
that it would not be necessary to threat
en- her with Our ships of war in order
to secure her cooperation in the work.
Why is it that peaceful suggestions
for the establishment of moduS vi
yendi have thus far proved fruitleSS? In
the dark days of the Rebellion Secre-
tary SEWARD was able to keep on
friendly terms with our kin across the
sea. HAMILTON FISH carried through
the Alabama claims controversy with
out bloodShed. Secretary BAYARD did
not have to truckle to the queen when
he undertook the conclusion of the new
extradition treaty. Why do the HAIR
RISON diplomats have to talk about
guns anu shot and powder? 1t is be-
cause they handle their problems With
out skill, unfairly and aggravatingly.
Mr.. BLAINE has the dangerous gift of
rhetoric. He unconsciously miSstates
the facts, draws false conclusions, puts
his antagonists into holes by the turn of
sentence, rouses their spirit of resent
ment by Subtleties which are as provOk-
ing as they are unwise. His attack on
his daughter-in-law is fair specimen
of his methodS-unealled for, delight
full to read, of the highest literary finish.

preston, made up of garbled statements,
convincing nobody, and yet admittedly
clever to a degree. No harm comes
from such efforts when bat1ied woman
is their target. But in controversy
with Lord SALISBURY it is different
The British government despairS of
negotiations conducted in the spirit of
a cheap pettifogger, and, throwing down
the pen. it looks to its Notifications. Our
national honor must of course be pro-
tected, no matter what the cost, but
wars do not come except in the wake of
folly. 1t is hazardous thing Tor Il great
country like ours to entrust its direc-
ton to the incompetent, however hon
est they may be and however faithful to
their weak conception of duty.

THE WHEAT INVESTIGATION.

The wheat investigation has not
proved as futile as at one time it was
feared it might. In these last days it
has elected the testimony of Mr.. PILLS
BURY, of Minneapolis, and what he has
had to say is important enough to COM
pensate for the expenditure of $4,000
and all the time the committee has given
to its work. 1t appears from his solemn
statement that the elevator business is
not profitable one. The charitable
public is glad to know this, and had Mr..
GEIssEL and his colleagues never started
Oh this investigation. it might not have
been disclosed. The charitable public
has long been aware that railroads did
not pay; that if it were not for their ex-
emption from taxation all our mining
concerns would go into bankruptcy;
that street car companies were operated
only by virtue of their owners
patriotism and did not yield a
penny of return; that our banks
ran behind enormously every year;
in short, that no enterprise which

frightful plight of the elevator compa-
MES has hitherto been concealed. Their
silence under their poverty has been
very heroic. and, presumably, is the re-
suit of their pride. But, now that the
truth is out, active measures should be
instituted for the relief of their necessi-
ties. 1t is not right in this period of the
worlds history, when so many eleemos-
synary institutions are maintained to
assist the deserving and unfortunate,
that their proprietors should be per-
mitted to endure the pangs of hunger.
Any contributions to fund for their
aid will be acknowledged by the GLOBE
and promptly applied to this worthy OBJ
ject. Let the sympathetic open their
hearts and their pocketbooks. Much
credit is due the investigating commit
tee for its part in inaugurating such a
noble charity.

their popular governor. Expressions
gathered in q dozen other prominent
states, from legislatures, newspapers
and influential Democrats, point to the
ex-president as the preference. This
is ITO less true in Missouri and other

stand by the CLEVELAND position on

only important state that has shown
disposition to take HILL in preference
to CLEVELAND. There may be Others.

Indiana has declared for President
Harrison, but Benjamin would no doubt
be willing to give goodly fee to the
fortune-teller who would reveal his
whereabouts just one year from today.

The Eervy but ill-adyised gentleman
who sought to arise in the convention Of
Indiana Republicans and say sighting
things about Mr.. Harrison Will probably
s'lay OFF, year or so now and repair
the injuries done to his feelingS.-Chi-
cago News.
AS Mr.. Harrison ought to be renomi-
mated, will be ren0mlnated and is the
strongest candidate whom the Repub-
licans can put in the field, 1t follows
that it will be both absurd and useless
to make an idle show of opposition to
him.-Chicago Tribune.
1t is pleasant, indeed. for any man to
know and feel that he has the good will
of his neighborS, and. if Mr.. Harrison is
defeated in the Northwest next June,
he will have the satisfaction of knowing
that it was not brought about by his
own people. Chicago Evening Post.
President Harrison will be supported
in the Minneapolis convention by solid
delegation from Indiana, but the shin

yicarious sacrifice Col. Dudley has been

KIND WORDS FOR HILL.
A New York Republican Utter
Them

A New York Republican Utters
Them.
Minneapolis Tribune.
Hon. William c. Stevens, of Malone,
n. Y. who served as Republican
member of the New York assembly for
several years, arrived in Mime apolis
yesterday, and will spend week in the
city as the guest of Reeve S. Keller
and other ex-Malonites. Mr.. Stevens
service as member of the New York
legislature was ali during Gov. Hills
time at the Albany state house. He
came in contact with the great idol of
Tammany good deal, and has some
interesting things to say of him. In
discussing the Democratic presidential
aspects, Mr.. Stevens saws:
cleveland is not in it, using the
language of the politician. Senator
Hill controls absolutely the New York
delegation 70 the national convention.
He also has control of the national COM
mttee. He can have the nomination
if he wants it. Do doubt he wants it?
No, but he is remarkably shrewd pol
itician, and if he sees any great show
ing of opposition TO himself, and thinks
that to press his candidacy would make
trouble in doubtful and Democratic
states, he would not be candidate be-
fore the convention. He would then
dictate the nom ination. Senator Hill is
a great man. He can see more in a
minute than most people can see in an
hour. He is remarkably brainy man,
with keen foresight and masterlv
comprehension of the great issues of the
day. Personally, he is edtlrely above re-
proach. He does not touch intoxicat-
ing liquors, and is absolutely correct
in his personal morals in other ways.
He is a man whose personal conduct
might well be emulated by every young
man in the country. Senator Hill is a
politician. and thorough one. His
methods are clearly those of great
and determined man in politics. He is
Il great party man, and that is wherein
he stands head and shoulders above
Cleveland. A politician is the man for
the presidency, anyway. Hill is very
close to the hearts of the people of New
York state. This fact was made very
apparent at county fair given in
Northeastern New York last fall. The
association got Senator Hill to deliver
an address. A reception was rendered
him. There were 10000 to $4,000 peo-
pie present. He shook the hand of
every man. woman and child. As chair
man of committee | introduced the

the sentiment, Here's for 1892 as the

is NOT TOO OLD.

Col. MORRISON, of the interstate COM
merce commission, says that Senator
PALMER is too old to be elected presi-
dent. The Republican papers agree
with him. At first the public was in
clined to think his age was a serious
objection, but, as his physical and men
tai Yigor is observed. less importance
is attached to this. He is by no means
the oldest man in the senate. Senator
DAWES, of Massachusetts,, will be sew
enty-six when his term expires next
March. and he thinks he is good for an
other six years If he can be reelected.
Senator MORRILL,, Of Vermont, is

BETTER THAN MINES.

The information has been gathered
by the Massachusetts legislature that
the cost Of the Bell telephone and the
Blake tranSmitter now in common use
is s3.42 each. They are rented at from
S4S to $3.50 per year. The cost of con
struction and operating the lines is not
given, but is known to be but a small
fraction of the charges. Tie local conf
panies do not, perhaps, make unreason-
able profits. but the owners OF the pat
ents retain half-interest in all the local
companies, and their profits throw into
the shade scores OF Kelley cures, and
make Mesaba mining ranges look SIN all.
A late investigation shows that the same
service can he had in Mexico for less
than half the rates charged in this
country. It is question worth con-
sidering whether there should not be
limitations to the patent business when
the inventions pass into the hands OF
grasping spectators.
