LET LOOSE THE DOGS

Secretary BLAINE has had his hands
full of foreign complications since he
has held the portfolio of state, aud the
country has breathed in spasms as the
rumors and the fear of war have spread
through our borders. 1t has taken no
little craft to thrust and parry with
Italy and use no more dangerous weapon
than the pen. But the belligerent
Garlbaldlan appears to be appeased.
For while. too, it seemed as though out
OF the fierce debates over the seals
of the Behring seas would be born
strained and angry feelings, and that
SALISBURY would dismiss his steuog-
rapher and order the decks to be cleared
tor action. The subtle diplomat at
Washington, however, has averted this
disaster, and the white wings of arbitra-
ton are lowering peacefully over the
troubled waters. But the CHILEAN trou-
bic is still unsettled. and the admins
tration is deeply distressed by its diff
culties. We have demanded apologies
on Bonded knee. but the Spunky South
American prefers to parley, and while
we are burning for an answer to our
ultlmatum the victorious Congressional
lists have only begun to study the laws
of evidence preparatory to making an
investigation. This is an annoying
situation, and what JAMES G. BLAINE
wants to know is this. ''Shall we fight
or shall we not fight?"
Had the GLOBE been asked this cues
ton day or two ago, it would not have
been very ready with its reply. But
now it cries, let loose the dogs of war,
and let them loose pretty quickl We
cannot have too many battles or too
much gore. The flower of the Mime
sofa militia has been in st. Paul, and
has been seen in full uniform on our
streets, In our restaurants. and at the
opera house. No higher compliment
can be paid it than to cry. let loose the
dogs of warl The Union is safe, and
need tremble before no foe in shining
armor. 1T matters not how vast the
host we have to face, nor how feeble the
quotas other states may send-Minne-
sofa can do it all from this time forth,
because she has brigade and briga-
der general who is every inch soldier.

A GENEROUS PREDICTION.

Sir EDWIN ARNOLD, who a few
weeks ago charmed st. Paul and its
people with his genial, inspiring pres
enee, has been interviewed in Chicago,
and has given his courteous, kindly
opinions OH many important questions.
He says that he has learned to love
the Americans, and he predicts great
things for this country of ours. Here
are his words, and this is his picture of
the future awaiting us:
reserve as the destiny of these great
United States the control of all the lands to
the south, of the whole of the South Ameri-
can continent. These petty troubles with
Chilli Will die away and all will be yours. In
South America alone there is room for 500,
100000 more people. Some day it will have
that many, and all will acknowledge the gov
eminent at Washington. We in England
will not grudge you this added power. II is
rightfully yours. With the completion of
the canal across the Isthmus of Nicaragua
you must have control of 1t and of all that
surrounding Egypt of the new world.
This is noble indeed in you. Sir Ed
WIN, and we thank you very much.
History offers one parallel only to your
generosity, and with that, perhaps, you
are not familiar. But the free and
open handed way in which you give US
the South American states reminds the
globe of the prodigality with which
ARTEMUS WARD offered the services of
his wife's relatives for the suppression
of the Rebellion. We are as grateful to
you as A. LINCOLN was to him.
1t is probably not generosity alone,
however, which suggested this contri-
button to the poet, but philanthropy as
well. He thinks that we are overWork-
ing ourselves in this busy land, and
need recreation and distraction. This
is all true, but il is possible to have too
much excitement. One South Amerl-
can republic will be enough for us
until our national nervous system is a
good deal steadier than it is at present.
One revolution day will give us all the
amusement that will be good for US.
Should we annex the whole of the
southern continent at once, we should
be badly balanced country without
the ice and SNOW OF British America
TO Offset so much tropical heat. Rather
strange it has not occurred to you, Sir
EDWIN, to cast your horoscope north
ward as well as toward the southern
seas. Is not Canada a fairly desirable
place of residence, with room for many
more millions of people? And, while you
are making over to US Brazil and Ven
ezuela and Chill, can you not find it in
yourt English heart to throw in Canada
as we'll? Think it over, Sir EDWIN, and
see what you can do for us in this direc-
ton. Perhaps, If we can have Mani
toba, we can get along quite well with
out Patagonia for a while.

CARA THE LURID.

Cara must have sized up ElkinS.-
New York World.
Catarino Cara seems to be raising as
great fuss on the border as catha-
rine-wheel raises on the Fourth OF July.
New York World.
CARA, who has been raiding the
Northern Mexican border for some time
back. was formerly newspaper man !;
but this fact did not justify his columns
of troops in their action.-Philadelph
Press.
How lucky it is that Cara bobbed up
just as the Chilean warcloud blew over.
Unless these contingencies are always
provided for in this way, we will be
troubled with ennu, first thing we
know.-Chieago Globe.
Catarino GarZe, the border bandit of
Mexico, is described by those who know
him as a little man, nervous and fidgety.
He has a habit of making people in his
neighborhood nervous and tidgety, too.
Chicago Times.
The delay in dlsposing of Cara offers
a fine opportunity for those beiligerent
citizens who are anxious to go to war
with Chill. and who think that little
brush with the enemy is a fine stimulus
for healthy patriotism. - New York
World.
A few days ago Cara was only a
bandit. Now that his followers are
growing, he is spoken of as a revolu-
ZIONIST. If he should succeed in the
overthrow of President DiaZ lie will be
added to the list of Mexican patriots
Chicago Press.
If the clerical party of Mexico is re-
ally behind Cara, there is likely to be
serious trouble. The crop failure has
made the peasants of several of the
Mexican states so discontinued that they
are ready for anything that religion or
an empty stomach ggests.-St. Louis
Republic.
The most serious aspect of the Cara
demonstration against the Diaz govern
ment in Mexico is that the demonstra-
ton is made chiefly on the American
side of the Rio Grande, and that the
victims will be the hardy troops of the
United States, who must pursue the
bandit into scrub forests and over alkali
plains, at little expense to him and
much to them in the way of parched
Threats and scraped skin. - Chicago

A FRESH SENATOR.

The Alliance senator from South Da-
kota, standing pretty nearly alone po-
litically, and not having his seat in the
senate fully adjusted to his anatomy,
may be regarded as rather fresh Id al
ready proposing to amend the national
constitution in an important point.
That instrument has not been added to
or changed in any particular for more
than two decades, although various at
tempts have been more or less active in
that direction. Yet Senator KYLE may
be allowed unrestricted scope for his ac-
tivities in this matter. He has the ordeal
of both branches of congress and three
fOurths of the legislatures to pass before
the attainment of his object. Still, the
idea he is following is not new one or
without support. 1t has been sug-
gested, if not actually formulated, in con-
gress before, and widely discussed.
The aim of the senator is to secure uni
fornity in the laws of marriage and
divorce by congressional enactment. 10
effect this by way of amendment to the
constitution has seemed, to those OF
larger experience in public affairs than
the Dakota senator has had, too for
midable an undertaking. Hence an of
fort has been partially inaugurated to
secure cooperation of the legislatures
in adopting similar laws. Even this is
likely to be difficult to accomplish
much with. The diversity of opin
ion in regard to divorce is the
great obstacle. South Carolina, for
instance, does not believe in di-
voice at all, so far as its statutes indi-
cate its judgment, while the state Sena-
tor KYLE represents has such encour-
agement and machinery for divorce that
it is attracting that class of business
and building up an important industry.
The South Carolina rule would blight
and ruin this. aud even uniform law
regulating divorces would take away
the exceptional inducements that now
draw the aSpirants for emancipation
from the CALLING chains of matrimony.
Unwllingly or not, the senator is put
ting himself in antagonism to a source
of much present revenue and large
promise to his state or some of Its people.
Is he fOrgetful of this, or is he social,
as we'll as political reformer. Does he
propose to reform backwards? The
progress of the later times has been
toward easier divorce. No person not
entirely without financial resources
need remain married to an obnoxious
mate. Every man or woman in re-
luctant wedlOck can find conditions to
afford divorce in South Dakota. The
disposition is to enlarge the exit out of
matrimony. 1t is insisted that it is de-
grading and unjust to compel persons
to remain in these bonds after the silk
has given place to irksome withes. But
that is not the point in hand. The con-
stituents of Senator KYLE should ask
him why he seeks to divert the throngs
coming to their stale to pay out shekels
for marital freedom.

been limited, because of the limited
number of samples secured. But there
had been tests by the United States
government, and the results could not
yet be pronounced entirely sat-
isfactory. A slight change in the
amount of powder made radical differ
ences of result, and ammunition is sus-
ceptible to heat. Greater velocity and
further projection are attained by the
new powder. The paper dwelt at
length on the labors Of the army board
how in session, endeavoring to select
ma gaZine system. 1t is generally be-
lleved that the investigation thus far
has not been crowned with any great
success, although the reports made by
the board from time to time have not
been made public. 1t is the general
opinion, however, that until some bet
ter system is devised, the present sin
gle barrel gun be retained in use.
Capt. Haupt, chaplain of the First
regiment, read paper on What Saw

he must be excused if he stuck to his
text as closely as most preachers do.
He thought the militia might be made
an instrument for good. The highest
form of enjoy ment IS not the carouSal.
The chaplain cOmplimented Col. Bend
for the high example he set his men
morally, and said he found the First
regiment better than he expected. He
Spoke of the thorough cleaning of the
camp for inspection Sunday morning
and was pleased with it. But it is too
much to hope that some day as much
pains will be tahen to clean the camp
morally? A good officer will not be
content with the external appearance
OF his men, but will consider their per-
sonnet, and the effect of his example
upon them. He hoped for less profan-
lty. fewer cases of beer broken open on
Sunday, and less of all that from which
every true man recoilS.
This closed the reading of papers, and
the transaction of general business was
begun.
Lieut.. Avery, of Company f, First
regiment, offered a resolution for the
appointment of a committee of three to
draft constitution and set of bylaws
to govern all the companies of the state,
conforming to the military code of the
state. He made brief speech in favor
OF the resolution, believing uniformity
IN the goyernance Of the companies was
desirable. The resolution was lost.
The officers for the ensuing year were
elected by reclamation, as follows:
President-Maj. E. D. Libbey ST. Paul.
Vice President-Capt A. w. Wright, Aus
tin.
Secretary-Lieut. Albert Nexsen, Mime
apolis
freasurer-Capt Fred Van Duzee, Luz

The association adjourned, with the
usual thanks to the retiring officers.

The rumOr to the effect that Col.

dation. There was a meeting of the
Second regiment officers after the Ma
tional Guard association meeting yes
terday, at which request was made
upon the colonel to continue his con-
neetion with the regiment The re-
quest was unanimous and will be hou-
ored, Col. Bobleter stating last night
that he had ne desire to run counter to
the wishes OF the officers of the regi-
ment, and as the request was made in
the form of plea for the maintenance
of the credit AID discipline of the regi-
ment there was only one course open to
hlm-that of compliance. Beside, Col.
Bobleter is too good soldier to get

The Third regiment meeting was
simply for the purpose of interchang-

tiary managers carried the eXer-
else of their authority to dan
gerous extent. Seventeen prisoners
one day the past week were turned
loose on parole, some of them commit
ted for long terms, convicted of the
graveSt crimes and having served but
small fractions of their terms. One,
for instance, was sentenced for twenty
Years for manslaughter in killing his
wife. He had been in but three years.
An embezzler had served but two out of
eighteen years. A man sentenced to
fifteen years for criminal assault was at
large after serving three years, and sew

Only five out of the fifteen had been in
half of their terms and had probably
earned the parole. Still, the law is be-
lieved to be judicious and salutary
one. Some additional restraints upon
this looseness of exec ution may be req

"A DAKOTA NEED.

Judge BENNETT, of Bottineau, In
North Dakota, was in ST. Paul yester-
day, and stated that one Of the great
needs of the wheat region is more help.
He states that there is dearth of farm
hands all through that country that
must be relieved, or there will be great
loss in the production of the country.
1t is estimated that fully one-thrd of
the wheat grown the past season has
not been threshed yet. 1t will remain
in the field until spring, as the steam
threSherS cannot be proftabiy used in
the winter months. A movement is on
foot to substitute the old tread-mill
threSherS for the smaller farms, as they
can be used in cold weather, but that
will not relieve the present difficulty.
Many hundreds of men are needed. and
can be guaranteed steady employment
for six months from March or April. I'm
less they can be had, 1t will be impossi-
bic for the farmers to take care of the
wheat not threshed and get in full
acreage for the coming season. 1t is
designed to open North Dakota labor
bureau in St, Paul at an early day tc ia
cilitate the supplying of the labor need.
There will be rare opportunity for
laborerS who want to secure homes
and land to invest in North Dakota.

PAROLE OF CoNvICTs.

Several of the states are experiment
ing on the prison reform line of indeter-
inmate sentence or parole for convlcts,
conditioned on good behavior. Ohio has
had for some years law allowing pris-
onerS to go out on parole. and in the
main it has given satisfaction. But all
such measures are dependent upon the
integrity and wise discretion of the au-
thorities in charge for their beneficial
operation. In bad hands they may be
made to defeat their intent and foster
crime. In recent case in Ohio it is
believed that the board of peniten-

secure favor. The duties might be re-
moved and the protection take the form
of bounty, as i'll the case of sugar.
This would save all the expense of col
lectors, and simplify things. The peo-
pie would then know just what they
were being taxed for the benefit of any
business. Then the logic of the system
would require that labor should be
recognized, and also paid bounty.
The principle is indefenSihle.
