and well, and left, it to be said of him
his death is a community loss"
A COMPLIMENT FROM ABROAD.


The Cleveland Leader" after re-
Viewing the whole situation regarding
the late election, comes to this con-
clusion:
All things considered, the most re-
nlarkable victory achieved by the sound
money forces CT any State was the car
rying of California for Mckinley. 1t is
not yet too late to give the gallant
Republicans of that State and the
honest money Democrats who worked
with them the credit which they de-
serve for most extraordinary triumph
in the face Of great difficulties. Com
plete returns from California, all but
a few counties being reported Off
cially, makes McKinley's plurality
2,S20. The margin is small, but it is
equivalent to about 1900 In Ohio, and
that is just about the plurality by which
President Hayes carried his own State
in 1876. In 1892 the Republican plu-
rality in Ohio was barely 1000. Con-
sidering the difficulties encountered and
overcome by the sound money men of
California, their little plurality beats
any of the tremendous majorities rolled
up for Mckinley in the East.
The Leader" then at much length
goes into an analysis of the situation
and the vote in this State, with all that
was arrayed against the Republicans,
and the apparent hopelessness of their
cause at the beginning of the campaign,
and again concludes that the victory in
California was magnificent and as
tonishing one. It declares that the
terrible statistical handicap Of the Re-
publican party in our State has not
been equaled, and it sets this out by
giving the figures of the last Guberna-
torial election, the great majority by
which the Democrats filled the Guber-
material chair, and the fact that in that
election the Democrats and Populists
polled together more votes in every
district than did the Republicans 1t
sums up by expressing the opinion thai
the triumph in California was simply
wonderful" and adds:
1t is almost without a parallel in
American political history, and we be-
lieve that it may safely be called the
Irize victory of the year for sound
money, protection and William McKin-
ley.

Captain Mahan has retired from the
active list of the United States navy.
That this is loss to the navyno one will
deny, but Captain Mahan's work is not
and never will be lost to the world II
is possibly true that he is lacking in
certain essentials that are necessary in
one TO whom high command in the
navy is to be given and that this ac-
counts for his retiracy without promo
ton. But Captain Mahan enjoys in the
estimation of his countrymen and in
the eyes Of the world a more exalted
position than any possible naval COM
mission could give him. This man has
been the first great naval scholar we
have developed, and it is likely that his
name will go down as the best naval
critic the world has had His works
kindred subjects in naval literature,
have had recognition as no other works
of like character have received. Mahan
might have made a poor Rear Admiral
Dut ne mas mace Wnat we can esteem
more highly. the foremost thinker and
writer of the age on naval matters of
first Importance. He has not been pro-
NOTED, probably had no right under the
proper rules of the service to expect
it, as he is not an administrative off :
Ger of special genius; but assuredly his
country should officially recognize his
services in the study of that which
could not so well have been prosecuted
outside of naval service.

There is wit. truth and wisdom in
the sharp rap the Temps" gives the
English nation, that is continually
censuring the Continental Powers for
enlareing and increasing their military
armaments, while all the time forcing
the world TO increase its naval strength
and efficiency as the only possible
means of preventing the English from
dominating by it's fleets, which Eng
land steadily enlarges and newly
equips. This is equivalent to saying
that if England would cease strength
enipg her fleets the Continental Powers
might follow the example. This mat
ter of disarmament has been the dream
seems to stand between the desire and
the realization is the inability of the
nations to trust one another
In this connection the Saturday Re-
view of London puts vinegar into the
debate over increasing ornaments by
saying that England must continue to
augment her navies until they are over
whelmingly strong and absolutely ire
sistble. 1t adds in the debate that has
arisen out of the Trafalgar celebration
Of October 21st, that England was not
inferior to France in 1905 in naval
strength, saying:
1t is absolutely untrue to say that we
We're inferior in. numbers to the French
combination in 1906. We had then on
our navy list no less than 116 ships of
the line. In April. 1865 We had 95 ships
of this class in commission, with over
100 frigates. The French total was
then 52 effective ships, including the
Dutch navy. The Spaniards had from
- to % sail of the line available The
total was thus II to 81 hostile ships of
the line against our 9J.
But we must never lose sight of the
utter disorganization of the French
fleet in 1905, or forget the astounding
inefficiency of the Spanish navy. Any
reader of Mahan, De la Graviere, or
Chevalier, any student of James or
Brenton, will know that this Is not a
mere assertion. If the
Daily Chronicle" really supposes that
six British battleships could pen in
twelve French at Toulon under such a
leader as Admiral Gervais, it is maxi
ing an extraordinary mistake

PUBLIC GAMING.

On this subject the report says: THE
sentiment of this city seems to be that
during the State Fair weeks gambling
should be permitted. 1t Is therefore a
more difficult matter to enforce laws
here on that question as strictly as in
other places where gambling is never

Thus it isn't probable that the whole
sale district will receive any additional
structures until next year.
81 don't mean to say there are no
business buildings projected for this
season, but they have already been de-
scribed to the public. Sixth street is
likely to get the most Of the years
improvements. It'saat pity, though, that
our retailers shoiIdl have stretched
themselves out so. Our principal dry
goods stores, for instance, are blocks
apart. This is a great disadvantage
when it comes to catering for the
trade Of the surrounding country. A
man doesn't want to walk miles in
order to lay in few supplies. A wom-
an doesn't care to ride a bicycle when
she goes shopping. Our Minneapolis
friends are ahead of us there. They
have their important retail stores all
in bunch, and they get the patron

would otherwise come to st. Paul"
Architect Ed P. Bassford did not
know yesterday what was the status
Of the work on the new postoffice. He
admitted that he was the superintend-
ent Of construction for this building,
but besides seeing that the work was
done in accordance with the specifica-
tionS received from Washington, he
was entirely ignorant of the progress
or prospects of the work. Secretary
Harry Wack, however, was better in
formed. He said that the $50, 600 re-
Gently appropriated by congress for the
st. Paul postofflce was in the nature
of an emergency fund, for use in case
amounts previously appropriated
should run short during the present
year. 1t is hoped to secure an addi-
tional appropriation of an amount suf-
ficient to effectively enlarge the build
ing. Representative Kiefer is working
to obtain 100000, and Senator Davis
has asked for $S00000. It would seem
scarcely possible, however, to spend
more than 100000 more in any effective
Improvement of the building as so far
constructed. With this amount a sixth
story could be added, and the Sixth
street entrance could be enlarged, and
that part of the building extended
| ninety feet to the sidewalk line.
AT present forty men are being en-
ployed by Chicago contractor in
completing the roof, while twenty-five
men are carving the exterior masonry
under the contract of Hennessey Bros.
q Cox. The postoffice will, according
to the present plans, be under cover
before the winter, and completed by
the fall of 1897. But a change of sd-
| mlnistration or change of design will
! defer completion for an indefinite ne
rlod.

had lots to do, and was doing it. He
had worked during other Marches, but
this March was the busiest of all the
maddest, merriest' March. The merry
feature was the throng of customers
who wanted to rent houses. They de-
sired especially houses that rent for
from $40 to $50 per month. Rents were
about the same as last year, on an
average. That is, the cheaper houses
were renting for a little more, the eX-
pensive residences for a little less. The

whether his house had hard wood or
pine floors was apt to get silver dol

Fitzpatrick is the architect.
The architects of the city. with a
few exceptions, are engaged at present
en- buildings of little Importance. Said
Mr.. Reed, of Reed q Stem, yesterday:
I'VE architects would have buildings
enough to erect if only tenants would
put in an appearance. There is plenty
of capital in st. Paul, and there are
investors enough willing to trust their
a man rarely wants to erect a build
ing unless he has tenant ready for it.
1 think that in this respect we are
good deal better off than other cities.
In some of them things are not on the
healthy basis of exact adjustment be-
tween supply and demand. Here there
is plenty of money ready for an in
vestment on a safe basis l know Of
several big wholesale houses that in
tend to build before long, but the rent
ais for the buildings they now occupy
are in such a confused state just at
present, some paying much less in
proportion than others, that the firms
are waiting until landlords adjust their
charges to a uniform standard. Then
there will be something definite on
which to base leases and contracts
for new buildings can be drawn up in
telligently. Besides, now that trade is
reviving, many wholesalers think that
a building erected this year might
prove too small for their growing trade.
