Louis Post t-Dispatch, trained collies will
be added 10 the standing armies of Ger
many and France. The services to whicli
the Scotch eollieS will be trained are nn-

carrying dispatches and ammunition.
They are furthermore trained for recon-
noitering and for hunting up the wounded
ant carrying them on ambulanceS, eSpe-
cially constructed for that purpose, to the
field hospitals. For the latter purposes
these dogs are said to be particularly valu
able.

Now, as a matter Of fact, the state

--an apprentice, not full fedged work

was made by John Most, the anarchist

The man who blows about the wrongs
of workingmen and goes about with
pistol to right them is not apt to be an
intelligent and capable workman. That
kind can take care of themselves.

The finest Yankee cruiser afoat is the
No. 12, launched to-day. She is over
700 tons bigger than the Maine and over
thousand tons bigger than the Texas,
our other two best ships. She has triple
screws and engines, and can run at a
reasonable speed for cruising with only
one of these at work. In a hurry, by
using all three, 81 or % knots an hour

In an uptown detail of street workmen
a discussion arose the other day as to the
colos Of the ocean. A Scotchman asserted
that the water was green. He knew il
very well because he came across the sea
in search OF wealth. A man from West
ern Massachusetts,, Cummington, declared
that the color of the great body of salt
water encircling the solid part of the
earth was blue, because in the song it
tells Of the deep blue sea-"
To settle 1t they agreed to go and look at
the water. They went to the wharf at
the foot Of Hay street and stood awhile
looking over the railing. They said moth
ing but walked away together. Finally
the Scotchman said that he would never
believe anything in which his memory
was the test again, aud the man from
Massachusetts, said he had no more use
for the song. They had discovered that
the water was black.

THAT TARIFF PLANK.

In its gleeful prediction this morning
of political revolution" meaning
thereby the election of Cleveland, the
New York World says Harrison is
weaker than in 1888; Cleveland
is stronger" Mr.. Harrison has
given the country an eminently sensible
and satisfactory business administration !;
it is a fact SO patent ~ to be hardly
worth Democratic denial that the Presi-
dent has gained upon the country year
by year but this does not now concern
us. What possible basis has even that
disreputably dishonest demagogue, the
World, for its assertion that Cleveland
has now any elements Of strength he
did not possess four years ago?
The News has never encouraged the
Republican party to build too sanguinely
upon the prospect Of dissension in the
Democracy. The degree of Tammany's
zeal in support Of Cleveland, the atti-
tude of Hill, the effect of the anti-snap-
pers' obstinacy, are points yet to be
settled. But leaving these uncertain
ties out of account. tho free
trade plank adopted at Chicago is obvi-
ously giving Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Whit
ney, Mr.. Harrity ct al, a great deal of
difficulty. ostand upon it is ruin in the
East, to turn 1t down is cause of offense
in the South and West. 1t is stumb-
ling block from any and every point of
view.
The Pennsylvania delegation under
Harrity's influence at Chicago cast its
solid vote against the free trade plank
The Harrity and Whitney influence
was strong upon Cleveland when he
hedged so obviously in his Madison
Square speech, distinctly repudiating
the Chicago declaration that pro-
lection is unconstitutional The con-
stitutionality Of our national policy
has long ago been passed upon
and affirmed by the nations highest

on into the public treasury, but the great
majority OF our citizens who buy domes-
tic articles of the same class pay n sum at
least approximately equal to this duty

thus create tax upon all our people"

THE ALDRICH REPORT.

The Globe falls afoul of the Aldrich
report in regard to prices and wages be-
cause It does not compare American
wages with those of protectionist Euro
pean countries. This it calls "dodging
the question from the start" and 1t pro-
ceeds to further criticise as follows:
In the matter of prices the statements
OF the report are self-contradictory. The
cIared, have advanced 1857 per cent
while the retail prices Of all the ''necessi-
ties" OF life have decreased "a OF i per
cent. Either the articles of food con.
sumption, the prices of which have 20 In.
creased, are not necessities, or else Sena-
tor Aldrich is bound to show what other
articles have decreased In prices so much,
There's nothing self-contradicting in
this. The prices of agricultural pro-
ducts have advanced. Everybody knows
it. But in considering the average
of a large number of articles, the
price has fallen. But for the higher
price of wheat--and we won't regret it,
for the American farmer gets the money
the cost of living would have been
much more considerably reduced.
We stand up for everything that is
RHODE ISLANDS, Senator Aldrich not the
least. But we would beg the GLOBE to
remember that that report was not all
his work. 1t was signed unanimously
by the committee, including the Demo-
cratic minority. It's findings were fair
and free from partisanship or exaggera-
tion. And when expert economists of
both parties have worked for months to
present an exhaustive report on whose
accuracy they all agree, fippant
BREWER man on the Globe can't bowl it
over in ten minutes of partisan bosh.
