Almost half of Asia has been subserv-
lent to Great Britain for more than a
generation. The southern peninsula Of
Africa, Egypt, and much OF the In
terror Of the continent pay tribute to the
same power. Nearly half of North
America is British possession, as is
the continent island of Australia and
all the more important groups in the
Pacific. Thus far but fragment OF

feeder to the pride Of the omniverous
lion.
But the United States has nothing to
fear from Great Britain, save in COM
mercial sense. There is danger that the
little foreign trade our merchants now
control may be taken from us, provided
Great Britain can supply the demand.
There is no danger. however. that she
will subvert our Institutions. The boot
is more likely to be on the other foot,
for the British government Is ipclining
toward democracy more and more every
year. All her principal colonies are
practically self-governing. Each has
local government OF its own, as inde-
pendent of dictation from parliament as
our states are independent of the
dictation OF congress on matters of
purely local concern. The time may
come when Great Britain and the
United States will be the controlling
powers of the earth. They have much
in common. Their language and their
laws are the same. We have borrowed
from them, and they have appropriated
from us. The late David Dudley Field
gave to England the outlines and cardi-
nal precepts of her present criminal and
civil laws. We have patterned literally
In our court practices from such distin-
guished Britons as Brougham and
COckburn and Pitt. Yet the nations
are dissimilar. and, to certain extent,
antagonistic. We are predIsposed to
peace, while England is inclined to war.
We are content with filling our own
sphere. while England is constantly en-
deavoring to EN- large her domain. Both
have their placs in internati onal econ
omy. land the influence of both is for good.
While the methods of Great Britain a re
often ineXcusable. the results are
worthy OF praise and congratulation.
If the sword of Britain and the engines
of peace and industry Of the u nited
States shall ever become allied, the en-
tire world will be compelled to make
ObeiSance to them.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Hon. Samuel r. Peters, Of Kan.
sas, In St. Paul.

06Ss ots 0ut0
Judge Samuel R. Peters. OF Newton,
Kansas. arrived in st. Paul yesterday,
and is at the Ryan. The judge Is here
to argue an important case before Judge
Caldwell in the United States court,
and expects TO have hearing today.
Judge Peters long since made his
mark in national politics. A native of
Ohio. he made a gallant record during
the war, and in 1872 he went to Kansas,
where he has since resided. Soon after
going there he was elected district
judge and served in that position eight
years. He was chosen a member Of
congress in 1882. and three times
reelected, serving eight years in
all. He was urged to continue in corr
gress. but peremptOriIy refused to longer
occupy the place, and now devotes HIM
self to the practice of his profession,
having one Of the largest law practices
OF any man in the state. While in COLI
gresS MIR. Peters made decided mark,
and was one of the few in that body to
attract national attention.
Gov. Nelson and Judge Peters en-
tered congress at the same time, ana
soon became fast friends. The &C.
Qnaintance was renewed yesterday by a
call of the judge at the capitol, and last
evening he was the guest Of the gov
ern0r at the opera. He expects to leave
for home tomorrow.

REACTION AGAINST PoPuL1sM

The Populists are losing some of
their zeal for woman suffrage. They
have found out that Mrs. Lease has
given no momentum to their cause, but
rather has cast suspicion upon it,
and made it generally a laugh
ing stock. The promine nee Of
this lady has opened the eyes of
a good many men who looked hope
FULLY to the movement at one time, and
they have become weary of the troth,
sensation and contention that this Pop
ulistic leader has spread wherever she
has undertaken to labor.
In addition to the high ''Betty Mar
TIM antics of Mrs. Lease, the Influence
OF Mrs. Waite, wife of the governor of
Colorado. has set men to thinking
pretty hard that they made more than a
mistake in allowing their discomfort
over matters which seemed to them
evils to induce them to resort for relief
to greater ones.
Mrs. Waite does not often appear in
public. She does not 60 upon the
stump, does not mingle with men or
try to lnffame women. She does her
work through her husband, having be.
come through him the real ruler of the
state of which he is the chief magis-
trate by the accidental supremacy Of
the Popullst party.
Gov. Waite takes no action In affairs
or state without, as he says, asking his
wife. A great number Of times he has
reversed conclusions and eountermand-
ed orders decided upon in his Office after
he has gone home and fallen under the
spell OF Mrs. Waite. OF course, it is
beautiful to find husband and wife
devoted to each other. Perhaps it is
proper enough; but the Populists of
Colorado. under their experience, are
bot reconciled to the manner in which
the state administration is conducted.
Mrs. Waite, ii she did not write the
now famous "bloody brides" address
made by the governor, was his sole coun-
selor in its preparation. The su lnmon.
ing OF the legislature in extra session
was upon her urgent advice, and the
conflict which arose over a change Of
penitentiary wardens resulted from her
conspiring TO give the Office to the hus-
band of her daughter by former mar
riage.
The frIctions of government in Kan
sas and Colorado have besn anything
but encouraging. BY these incidents of
Populist rule men have come to the
sensible conclusion that they will re-
turn to former political utilization. They
decide that they will not be led or mis-
led by crazed men and women. because
they realize that this is all that Popu-
ism offers them; that the burdens, real
or fancied, from which they desired to
escape have not been diminis he'd in the
slightest degree.

to select and elect men who would take
hold of the subject in practical way.
There is no question but that the state
should do something and do it at once.
The Eastern states have been greatly
benefited in this way. the precedent
is one worthy of emulation.
Something was undertaken during the
session of the last legislature, but twas
a tlash.in-the-pan, as II were. Some.
body set up aspook, while the friends of
good roads were not energetic and per-
sistent enough to accomplish anything.
Really, the cause was injured ny the
manner in which 1t was treated.
lt-is noticed that Mr.. Donnelly is UNI
dertaking to get the wheat farmers to
come together. for the alleged purpose
OF combining upon some plan for the
betterment of the market. This Is all
very we'll, provided the:e Is practical
and sensible leadership which will do
the farmer any good, but 1t is to be
doubted il anything will be proposed or
suggested that can be carried into sym
metrical effect. The whole affair will be
a waste Of time in futile scheming, and
had better be let alone.
In regard to the provision of good
roads, the matter Is one that commends
itself to every mind. and nothing is
more vital for the prosperity of the
farmers than to agree upon system
which may be gradually carried out.
ultimately securing in Minnesota roads
that are passable at all seasons.
IL the farmers OF the state desire to
hold a convention, they will find it
profitable to devote it to the roads.
Their voices should be heard in this
matter, and every county organized for
tine prosecution of rOadmaking. 1t is
tantalizing folly to listen to the phan-
tom professors with market schemes.
They have never done anything but
dupe the unfortunates who have given
ear to their songs. The greater need Of
the hour is good roads. Let the farm
ers OF Minnesota put their shoulders to
this wheel and set it in motion. There
will be millions in it for them when
the work is done.

BRITISH AGGREssIoNs.

1t matters little whether the COnserya-
tive or the Liberal party is in the ascend
ant in Great Britain, the foreign policy
of the government is the same-oIie of
aggression and conquest. The British
lion has an Unsuitable appetite, and is con-
stantly Oh the alert for means to crafty
it. Ii. in the economy of time, the en-
tire habitable globe shall acknowledge
allegiance to the British flag, John Bull
will be discerned seated upon some
rocky promontory, swelling the volume
of the ocean with his briny tears, which
shall be loosened by realization of the
fact that there are no more worlds to
conquer.
Matters in Samoa and in Eastern and
Southern Africa seem to be shaping
themselves in accordance with British
policies. The proposed surrender by
the United States of its share in the
joint protectOrate over the Samoan
group has been followed by unusual
activity in British naval circles, and
color is given to the rumors that the ali
nexation of those Islands is contem-
plated by the British. Against this,
however, Germany protests, and has
requested the United States to recon-
slider its withdrawal from the tripar-
tite protectorate. What our govern
ment will dol the premises remains to
be seen.
There promises to be triangular con-
flict for supremacy On the east coast of
Africa between Great Britain, Italy and

events Indicate that the nation has de.

ROADS FOR FARMERS.
