BUSINESS STILL IMPROVING.

The second week of the new year
ended yesterday with remarkable rec
ord in the way of a revival in all lines of
business. The South alone shows de-
preston, but this is confined to dis
tricts where cotton growing is the prin-
cipal interest. The iron output was
very large, the Alabama furnaces show
ing large increase in production. The
condition in all branches of trade is eX-
ceiIent, and promises to grow better at a
rapid pace in the Immediate future. The
unprecedented export trade continues,
although very little gold is coming
across the water in return. This is eX-
planned in various ways. One of these
is to the effect that large sales of Amer
lean stocks are being made in Europe.
Gold is needed there more than the rep
reSentativeS of material values. This
condition, however, is merely tempo
rary, and the golden tide must shortly
flow this way again. When it does
come. squirt in all lines of business
may be expected.
The financial situation is easy, and
bank reserves are larger than ever. and
loans are being made at per cent in
Chicago. The banks would like more
good mercantile paper, but the demand
is Increasing, with no possibility of any
stringency during the winter. The
railroads are doing wonderful bust
ness, hamDered only by lack of cars.
The cold weather has started the farm
erS to hauling their produce to market,
and a few weeks of the same kind of
weather will keep all the railroads work
ing to their fullest capacity. Few roads
show decreased earnings, while the
large majority report great increases
The stock market has been stagnant
during the week, the declines as we'll as
the increases being small. The Read
ing and Richmond Terminal continue to
climb up, the one on its merits and earn
lngS, and the other on the possibility of
the OLCoTT committee being able to ex-
trlcate the company from its difficulties.
The fact that the stock of roads that
show increases in earnings remains
stationary OF declines is attributable to
the fact that European holders are SELL
ing heavily.
The production Of -four in the North
west continues large, and shows no
signs of lessening. The Minneapolis
mills turned out 17S.S70 barrels last
week, against 172, 800 the previous week;
543. POS barrels were shipped since jan
1, as against 225,5i3 barrels in the same
period in 1891. Export orders are re-
ported unsatisfactory, only 7SSO0 bar
rels being shipped for that demand.
Domestic orders are good, with prices
for certain goods shade lower. The
wheat market had few spurts during
the week, but the foreign deuand was
not great enough to cause much of a
movement. The large stocks On hand
in Europe and the cargoes on the way
prevented heavy buying.
One of the best signs of the revival is
the decrease in the number of business
failures, $50 being reported for the
week, as compared to 435 the first week
of the year and Al for the second week
of 1917.

HAkRIES Is ALL RIGHT.

The attempt made by some of the
small-bOre politicians of the First con-
greSsional district of this state to pref
udice the people against Congressman
HARRIEs, on account of the removal of
on old soldier named OLSEN from po-
sition in the house Of representatives,
has fallen fiat. Senator TAwNEY, of
Winona, who has just returned from a
trip to Washington, in an interview in
the, WinOna Republican states that
Capt. HARRIEs did all in his power to
secure reappointment for OLSEN. He
failed in this. but his efforts resulted
in the appointment of a Democratic
Union soldier to the place, and the re-
moval of the man first given it. This
interview is created to Senator TAw-
NEY i'll view of the fact that he may be
the Republican selected to make the
fight against Mr. HARRIEs in the COM
ing campaign. 1t is likewise a deserved
rebuke to the men who have in the past
made the politics of the First district
disgusting to all fair-minded men.
The man OLSEN, about whom this
racket has been raised. has the SYM
pathy of the people of the First dis
trict. and there was a feeling that he
should be retained, if possible, in view
of his inability to perform any kind of
manual labor. This sentiment Con-
gresham HARRIEs respected, and did
all in his power for OLSEN. His efforts
merit praise rather than abuse. for,
although OLSEN iourneyed home from
Washington to vote for EX-Congressman
DUNNELL. Capt. HARRIEs did not think
of this and seek out crippled Demo-
cratic ex-soldier with whom to sup
plant OLSEN. Senator TAwNEY has
performed a service for the people of
the First district in thus setting their
congressman right on this matter, as
well as putting an end to the columns
of endless abuse that have been poured
out upon that gallant soldier and honest
and capable legislator who now repre-
sents the First district in the lower
house of congress.

Is WAR IN SIGHT?

Unless Washington correspondents
are drawing heavily upon their imagi-
nations for facts, thu United States is
nearer the war brink than it has been at
any time during the past twenty-seven
years. One of the most ominous por-
tents of an impending conflict with
Chilli is the unqualified statement that
Speaker CRISP will, if able to reach the
house, preside at Mondays session.
Speaker CRISP is sick man. Only the
most imperative demand for his official
presence would warrant the step which,
it is said, he will take against the ear
nest protest of his physicians. The ex-
pected message from the president is
said to TEEN with suggestions of decid-
edly bellicOSe nature. An important cab
met meeting has just been held,in which
the situation was thoroughly discussed
and decisive measures adopted. Recent
correspondence received from diplo-
matte officials in Chill confirm reports
of an intolerant hatred of the United
States, and resident foreigners of other
countries at Valparaiso have been
warned by their conSuis that war be-
tween this country and Chill is inevta-
bic, and that safety for them only lay in
Immediate departure from the CHILEAN
republic.
Such, it appears, are the fundamental
facts upon which are based the prognos-
ticationS of Immediate war with Chill.
The duration of a conflict Or the exact
result can only be wildly conjectured
+ I,id lou of
good generalShip that one should never
underestimate the strength of an enemy.
Chill is small country. SO is Switzer-
land. Yet the few cantonS of the latter
little government. huddled together
among the Alps, stood at bay for years
against largely superior forces pitted
against her, and eventually made her
own terms of adjustment. War with
Chilli, should it eventuate. will be
costly to US. Latter-day conflicts are
Invariably expensive. The Indian up
rising of last winter was only put down
at the expense of millions of dollars.
Divested of international complications,
a brush with Chilli means no holidays
excursion for the summer soldier and
the sunshine patriot" This is the opn-
ion of army and navy officers, in contra
distinction TO the views of some san
guine editorial writers who sniff the
battle from afar and are contented to
remain afar subsequent to the first
sniff. AT the opening of the war of the
rebellion the army of the North was
composed. aside from the regulars, of
three-months volunteers. A majority
of them remained in the field four years.
1t seems now that only ample apologies
and full monetary reparation from Chill
can avert a conflict between US.

THAT NEW PARTY.

One of the Industries that tourists in
this country without the direct aid of
the tariff is that of making new politi-
cal parties. And the prime reason for
this fact is also one OF the strongest ar
guments against the protective system.
Chicago Times.
E. L. Godkin, of the New York Even
ing Post, has Saiu to reporter that he
thought the independent" would
hold national conference at an early
date. No one will object to his plan.
1t is time the mugwumpS should stand
up and be counted Sen
final.
A quiet meeting of mugwumps was
held in New York city last Friday night.
There was general agreement in favor
of civil service reform and free trade.
The case of the nominations of Blaine
and Hill by the respective partieo was
considered, and the prevailing opinion
was that. in such an eXlgency. it would
behoove the mugwumps to get together
and nominate an independent candi,
date.-MIlwaukee Sentinel.
Those eminent h0bbv-horse states
men. George William Curtis, Carl
SchurZ, E. l.. Godkin, Seth Low and
their associates got together in the up
per chamber of a New York restaurant
Tuesday night and resolved to form a
third party if either Hill or Blaine we're
nominated. Then, with that incon-
sistency which distinguishes them from
rational humanity, they gave President
Harrison sort of half-hearted iEdorSe-
ment.-Chicago Herald.
George William Curtis. Carl Schurz
and Editor Godkin, of the New York

for new party in the presidential cleo
ton of 1892. When Gabriel shall blow
his horn and the dread ceremony of mar
shaling the sheep on the right hand and
the goats on the left shall be begun, it
is to be expected that Godkin, Schurz
and Curtis will hand up to the great
white throne dignified proclamation of
their Inability to affiliate with either
party.-Chicago Times.

AN UNQUALIFIED FALsEHooD

He was, certainly. no friend of st.
Paul or Minneapolis who originated a
story to the effect that slight attention
was being paid the claims of newspaper
men for suitable quarters during the
national Republican convention. The
assertion is utterly without foundation.
Two weeks ago the GLOBE called atten-
ton to an interview with Col. WEST, of
the West hotel, Minneapolis, in the
course of which he declared emphatic
ally, and without the least reservation,
that every attention would be shown
the press, IN the way of the best accom-
mediation his house afforded. Recent in
terviews with Col. WEST confirm this DO
sition, and letters from managing editors
and others connected with Eastern news
papers conelusively prove that no dis
satisfaction is by them expressed re-
garding the outlook for the Minneapolis
convention. This much can be truth
fully asserted of the intentions, not only
of Col. WEST, but all others in Mime
apoliS directly or Indirectly connected
with the business of providing accommo-
dations for attendants on the conven-
ton. st. Paul is right in line with this
sentiment. The Importance of the du-
ties and the physical comfort of press
representatives will by no means be
overlooked by the hotel proprietors of
this city, should the committee con-
clude to locate the next Democratic
convention in st. Paul. Our citizens
are fully alive to the fact that,
in a broad sense, the conven-
ton is national in character, and
that an early, reliable and full account
of its deliberations belongs to the ma
ton; and that to this end no efforts
should be spared to render the faithful
work of press representatives as easy
of accomplishment as possible. Every
newspaper management in the United
States can be assured that, should the
convention be located at this point, the
members of the press shall receive
prompt and considerable attention at the
hands OF our hotel proprietors. Any
rumor to the contrary may be boldly
branded as mendacious, and only circu-
lated for Interior motives.

WOULD STOP 1T.

Senator KYLE admits that his action
In the direction of uniform divorce laws
Is dictated by unmitgated and con-
scientious hostility to the industry
growing up in South Dakota, and for
which Yankton is competing with Sioux
Falls. AS he is, or bias been, worker
in pulpitS. il may be conceded that there
Is no small incentive relating to the
vote of these cities. He NAV honestly
believe that it is pernicious business.
In his investigations he finds that there
are 200 or more people who have gone
from other states to Sioux Falls for di-
vorce, and that many of them do pretty
tough swearing to get their passage
through. This is possibly true, but
larger observation would acuuaint him
with the fact that this is not peculiar
condition in that locality. There have
been no moral aspersions on the bust
ness as conducted there to compare in
'turpitude with the reputation it has
long had i'll Chicago. In fact, in any
large city where the practice is at all
favorable to the failure part of matri-
mouy, there is no less freedom i'm at
tested assertion than in Sioux Falls.
Tie pure, inspiring Dakota ozone IS
calculated to elevate and ennobIe where
different element is often inhaled in
the great centers. The only condition
that the senator can regard as at all Pc
cullar to the Dakota situation is the res
fdence matter. 1t is possible that there
is some strain in swearing to bona fide
residence in the state. This can, how
ever, be relieved by modifying the re-
quirement as to residence for divorce
purposes. The gist of the thing is
whether divorces should be made avail
able to all who earnestly want them.

TO MANAGE HUSBANDS.

+ Elbow to Manage Husbands" is de-
bated by Sorosis, and sundry futile sug-
gestions are offered, such as Hold your

whole batch of them: "Feed the

The best suggestion came from Lily

Sorosis, while admitting the amena-
bilitv of husbands to management of
their wives. is careful to define the only
method that can be regarded as infalli-
ble This means to glorious end is de

COLLECTOR" HOLMAN.

Mr.. Holman seems to regard appro-
priation bills in about the same frame
of mind in which Texas steer regards

If Holman is able to check the ex-
travagance of his fellow Democrats of

ing the epidermis from government

The Holman resolution. debated in
the house of representatives yesterday,
is companion piece to the average
New Years pledge of reformation and
total abstinence. 1t has in it no bind
ing force. According to all accounts.

OF opinion from Chairman Holman as 10

quate to do full justice to the subject
Chicago News.
The Holman resolution is not to be
construed as declaration of the house
against the payment of bounties and
subsidies that have already been grant
ed by law. 1t is a declaration against
any further extension of this policy and
against any aid by this congress to any
private industry or enterprise by APP
preparation or by loan of public money
or credit-Chicago Herald.
The Holman resolution cannot be
fairly quoted as standing in the way of
vote of S5,0O0.000 for the worlds fair
to be held under the national auspices
at Chicago. Such action would not aid
private, but public, enterprise, nor
would that public be limited by sections
or state lines. The undertaking is thor
Oughlv national. Every state in the I'm
ion is to be represented. All, or nearly
all.have made appropriations from their

Gently the police authorities enforced
the law, arresting the Salvation Army
in the midst of riot caused by its APP
pearance. A test case is being made,
all the Salvationists in England taking
sides with the local band, and besieging
parliament with petitions for redress
and the repeal of the act. OF course
with the Salvationists it is matter of
religious liberty. They are quite will
ing to be martyrs for their convictions.
1t is probable they will have their way,
as they usually do in such cases.

ST. PAUL's POSITION.

Political considerations aside, it can
hardly be doubted that majority of
the delegates, voicing their personal
preferences, would choose ST. Paul as
the location of the national Democratic
convention. Climatic conditions and
scenic environment are largely i'll our
favor. The summer tourist within the
limits of the United States seldom ig-
nores the varied attractions of the Twin
Cities in mapping out his route. The
inducements of st. Paul, or Minneapolis
are not limited to brick walls, hot pave
ments and "a piece of pie with every 15-
cent meal" Coupled with commodious
auditorium and ample hotel accommo-
dationS are the added attractions of sill
yer lakes and sylvan forests, cool nights
adapted to refreshing slumber and the
manifold inducements that prevail
upon the continental tourist to tarry
with US for days on his way to the
Pacific coast. Aud at this writing, as
the GLOBE has previously stated, the
political objection to st. Paul, Or indeed,
to any other city, aside from New York,
has not sufficiently materialized to be
taken into account These facts the
delegation Of prominent representatives
of Twin City interests now in Washing
ton will freely set forth, together with
many other practical and undeniable
inducements. The GLOBE believes that
the national committee will eonscien-
tiOusly weigh the advantages, political
and otherwise. of each municipal claim
ant for the privilege of housing the con-
vention that will name the next presi-
dent of the United States. st. Paul IS
in the position of an earnest. yet friendly
rival of the wide-awake. enterprising
cities which contest in this honorable
emulation; and wherever the conven-
ton may go, there will Minnesota send
her delegates to, first congratulate that
city upon her success, and then take up
the political duties of the hour.

SAFE TRAVEL.

The frequency of fatal railroad acct
.cidents of late suggests that the ..fower
of safety" does not bloom so plenteousIy
on the rail as in other walks of life.
Yet the travelling public would shrink
aghaSt if all the railroad casualties to
passengers on 163,597 miles of track in
the United States should equal the fatal
tiles in mines and explosions that excite
but monetary interest. The statistics
recently published show that the rail-
roads in this country would reach
around the globe six and half times.
and the passengers carried last year COW
cred the immense total of 49,. 43O SEA.
The freight traffic figured up $685.
$4,000 tons, and the employees
of the roads furnished an army
of 749,301. 1t would be a marvel
If there were not many lives lost and
limbs fractured in business dealing
with more than eight times the entire
population of the GENTRY. Unless taken
in comparison with the aggregate of
persons connected with or carried upon
railroads. the casualties seem large.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-01-17

There were in the year 6,334 killed and
29,025 injured. But of those killed only
2S6 are given as passengers. OF en-
ployes there were 2.45l. and 1886 are
classed as ''other persons" The special
danger to life from railroads is evidently
to ''other persons" 1t is manifestly
safer to be an employe and vastly more
secure to be passenger. The data
upon which accident policies for pas
sengers are based indicate that it is a
business with small hazards. The aver
age passenger is killed about once in
hundred years.

A bill has been introduced in the

to this, that 1t is strain upon the con-

But whatever the question as to policy,
it would if enforced effectually settle the
lottery issue. Possibly even the serious
apprehension of the passage of such a
measure would cause the Louisiana in
stitution to drop the fight. The con-
gressional measures now in operation
are not likely to have any fatal effect.

THAT is good bill for South Dakota
Senator KYLE has introduced, allowing
the settlers on the Sioux lands to obtain
title without paying s1.25 per acre. AS
the situation now is, there is less in
ducement to take uD these than other
government lands where the homestead
act applies. But the government is pay
ing the Indians from Is cents to S1.25
for the lands, and will hardly be likely
to agree with the senator that this
should not come out of the settler
