The King of Greece was forced into
to the present war with Turkey by
the clamor of the Greek populace,
who would have forced him from his
throne, had he not so entered upon
the war. The sympathy of the Chris
tain masses has been with the Greek
from the first and though it was
looked upon as an unequal contest,
with the chances almost entirely
against the Greek, but it was hoped
that possibly the ancient valor of
the Greek might return to wrest VIC
tory from the red-handed enemy Of
Christian progress. But it did not,
and the Greek has fallen back under
the force of vastly superior numbers.
But this failure does not excuse the
clamor that has been raised against
the King. On the other hand the
conrse of the King in specializing in
Turkish bonds, whereby he has
made a fortune at the expense of the
Grecian defeats, does not enhance his
popularity with his people. 1t looks
as though he was more engrossed in
looking out for himself than for the
nation whose ruler rhe is. But per-
haps he goes on the principle that if
he is forced into retirement fortune
would come in handy.

The assertions of the Popocrats
that the Republicans are not fulfil
ling their pledges are not well found
ed. They are already pushing a
tariff bill through congress, which is
the first pledge they promised to full
fill. They have also redeemed the
pledge made in regard to using every
effort possible to secure an interDa-
tional agreement on silver, and the
commissioners on the part of the
United States will sail for Europe in
few days to see what can be done
toward bringing about a conference.
The consideration of the financial
question will follow the tariff.

The powers say that Turkey shall
not profit by the result of the wal
with Greece in new territory. But
the success of his army has made the
Sultan somewhat rstiffnecked and he
may refuse to abide by the decision
OF the powers. The war occurred in
spite of the efforts of the powers to
pr event it and Turkey may make the
attempt to settle the same without
any interference on the part of the
same. In fact the result of the war
so far has caused the Turk to feel
that he is equal to all Europe, and
for this feeling the powers are largely
to blame for, and if they have trouble
in making him keep his place they
have only themselves to thank for it..

SPEAKING of the matter of fourth
hospital for the insane, the St. Paul
Globe says: "We hope we have seen
the last great hospital for the insane
built and that another legislature will
have the good sense to adopt the Wis
consin plan of county support of in
curables, reserving the hospitals for
what should be their only use, the
treatment of patients whom it is pos
slble to cure" There seems to be a
growing sentiment in favor of the
county system and it ought to be
crystalized to point where it will re-
suit in it's adoption by the next legis-
lature. The system of big hospitals is
too expensive to be carried on any
further.

THE CITY SHOULD ACT.

Repeated evidence of the depravity
of some soulless scoundrel bent upon
destroying property is not wanting in
Mankato. The past two years has
witnessed the destruction Of thou
sands of dollars worth of property and
the consuming by fire of nearly hun
dred horses. The fires to which we re-
fer have all been of an incendiary
origin. 1t is horrible to contemplate.
The mend who is doing this hellish
work should be apprehended if such
result can be accomplished through
the adoption of some means by the
city authorities.
The burning OF Mr.. Wiltgen's livery
stable last night, where some sixteen
horses were roasted alive, should
arouse our people to point of de-
termined activity to bring to justice
the,vagabond who is doing this ter
rible work. 1t will not do to sit idly
by and allow this kind of business to
continue longer without protest.
Had there been stiff breeze last night
nothing could have saved block IA,
The Saulpaugh and no knowing how
much more property. AS it was it re-
quired the utmost heroic efforts on
the part of the fire department to con-
troll the the elements. The multitude
OF frame barns, sheds, wooden stairs
and porches through the alley were on
fire at various times and at one time
it looked as though the block must go.
Every foot of available hose was
b brought into reQuisition, and by good
m management, aided by calm night,
destruction of great amount Of
propertywas avoided.
The taxpayers of the city will en-
dorse the action of the city council in
projecting and carrying into execu-
tion some plan that will rid the city
of these tire-bugs. The expense of
competent detective or two for six
months, more or less, is nothing COM
pared to the losses already sustained
and those sure to follow if something
is not done.
1t would seem that a word at this
time is sufficient.

THE arbitration treaty seems to
have died from the result of an over
dose of amendments. 1t is to be re-
gretted that this country and Eng
la nd cannot come. to some understan-
ding along this line, but the insane
fancies of men like Senator Morgan,
which seem to have strong hold in
the senate work to prevent the con-
summation of anything practical.
But the failure of the treaty will not
prevent the two countries arbitrat-
ing any differences that may arise be-
tween them, and probably they would
arrive at just as amicable an under
standing as though treaty existed,
but their,infuence upon the world
for peace, would be greater through a
tr eaty, than without one.

THERE is said to be over 81, 900, 000,-
900 invested in the dairy business of
this country. 1t takes more than 49,
10000 COWS to supply the demand for
milk and it's products. Some idea of
the vastness of the business can be
obtained from the fact that over $780,
100000 is invested i'm agricultural and
dairy implements connected with the
manufacture of butter and cheese.
And the dairy product is nearly all
consumed at home, but very little of
it being exported. England imports
about s65, 100000 worth of butter an
nually, but this country only fur
nishes about 1 per cent of it, while
Denmark supplies nearly one-half of
it. Secretary Wilson, of the agricul-
tural department, is looking the mat
ter up, and intends to see what can be
done toward enlarging our butter
market abroad, and for that purpose
will send samples of American
creamery butter abroad during the
summer. 1t would seem that a good
business in butter export ought to be
worked up, and if the quality of but
ter demanded by them is kept uni
form and care is taken to put in the
kind of packages they desire, our but
ter trade abroad ought to be ma
terially increased.

cordlng to agreement, but as they
could not be used, they were buried in
pits, the farmers to be paid for them
when they were worked up. Under
the circumstances this was satisfac-
tory all around. By the analysis made
last fall the beets were shown to con-
tain above II per cent Of sugar, in fact
most all of those tested averaged
about IA per cent it is said. This
spring when the factory was COM
pleted, operations were at once COM
menced to work up the beets on hand,
when the discovery was made that
the beets had lost largely of their
sugar qualities, and instead of the II
or IA per cent of last fall, contained
only or per cent of sugar, and this
was not sufficient to pay the expense
of working them up, to say nothing of
paying the farmer for them. 1t has
of course had discouraging effect
upon the farmers in that vicinity,
some of whom, it is reported, have
decided to have nothing further to do
with beet culture. But it really
proves nothing against beet culture,
but does emphasize the fact that the
beets must be worked up in the fall as
soon as possible. So far as we have
seen, no analysis of sugar beets had
ever been made in the spring. and
nothing was known of this feature of
their losing their sugar qualities. 1t
is thought, however, that the factory
will be operated in the future by the
bondholders or their representatives
Under the circumstances this failure
ought to he no disbursement to beet
culture.

THE St. Paul Globe still feels bad
over the Republican idea of recipro-
city. Nevertheless the Republican
idea as embraced in the Mckinley
law was working well when it was
smashed by the free traders and was
building the foundation for a fine
trade with several foreign countries,
and would have made a fine showing
by this time had it been left alone.
What the GLOBE does not like is the
fact that it was not used for the pur-
pose of free trade with England, to
the detriment of our industries and
the advantage of the British. A
move of that kind would doubtless
have been more satisfactory to it.

THE Minneapolis papers are charg-
ing St. Paul with the three fat federal
places just given out to Minnesota,
and st. Paul papers are kept busy
locating Mr.. Bixby at Red Wing.
What's the difference? The twin
cities get whatever there is good any,
way, and if you don't live in St. Paul
or Minneapolis you don't get anything.
Minnie should not cry. If she don't
get her full share of pie this time it
will be the first instance on record
that she got left. Wait until john
Goodnow, Tim Byrnes and few other
"original" Mckinley ducks begin to
swim around in the fish pond. They'll
land something yet that will make
Minnie smile.

THEY do things differently in the
old world. According to the report
Of the United States consul at Havre,
France, that country levies duty on
all bicycles coming into the country,
those in the hands of the tourist as
well as of the importer. Only the
tourist receives his back on leaving
the country. All wheels are required
to be provided with bells or gongs,
audi BILE at distance of fifty yards,
and lamps must be lighted at sunset
Bicycles are ordered to take the right
on meeting a vehicle and the left on
passing one. Railroads carry bicycles
there as luggage, and take the same
risks as in the case of trunks, etc.

EX-POsTDIAsTER GENERAL WILSON
is still showing up the badness of the
Republican tariff bill. His latest ar
ticle makes it plain that the bill
would benefit the rich and injure the
poor Washington Globe.
Queer way it will injure them isn't
it? Settle our business conditions,
allow factories, and all other kinds of
business to open up. and the laboring
classes to obtain work. Most of them
will be glad to be injured that way.
BY the way has not Wilson's little bill
injured both the rich and the poor?

SOME writer upon the power of the
age asserts that the eyesight is in
creasing, and gives instances where
persons have viewed objects in the
heavens which it usually takes the
aid of telescope to discover. The
writer referring to the fact that it is
often asserted that close application
to various pursuits that man gives
his eyes has a tendency to weaken
them, says that it may not be true
and that on the other hand the eye
may be gradually improving, and bet
ter able to detect things it has here
tofore been unable to observe, be-
cause of its constant practice it gets
in seeing, and the care it receives
from the oculist, which formerly was
not given it. Against such view of
the case Prof. Drummond, in his
"Ascent of Man." held that man in
his march to higher civilization,
while strengthening certain faculties,
became weaker in others, or lost them
altogether, and mentioned the loss of
the power of eyesight as one of the
failing faculties, due to disuse from
depending upon the various inven-
tions of man for the purpose of reveal
ing clearly distant objects to him and
so losing that practice he would
otherwise obtain, had he not power
full glass to look through. In short
man simply lost the faculty of far see
ing with the eye, because he did not
practice it as formerly when he had
no outside aid to depend upon. There
are always exceptions to all rules, and
the fact that here and there cases of
wonderful eyesight may be pointed
out would not indicate that the eye
sight Of the people, as a whole, is
greatly improving, and yet with the
care and attention given to the eve
by oculists, which in years past was
not given it, there ought to be a
gradual improvement, if the efforts of
our developing civilization were not
detrimental to it.

SPEAKING of Minnesota finances
and the provision by the last legisla-
ture for the investment Of the school
and university funds in the securities
of local municipal organizations, the
St. Paul Dispatch says: "Few states
in the Union, if any, have their tinan-
ces in better shape than those Of Min
nesota, but the state has taken an
other long stride in advance, in pro-
viding that the school and university
funds may be invested in the securi-
ties of municipal organizations, as
well as in the securities from other
states. 1t is said that Minnesota
will in all probability never have to
send another dollar out of the state
for investment. The benefits which
will accrue from the new system are
almost unlimited. The interest paid
by these local organizations on their
loans will remain at home and go in
to the home school fund Instead of
being compelled to canvass Wall
street in search for securities from
other states, which may be impaired
at any time by legislation or other
causes which this state is powerless
to prevent, the members of the state
board of investment can place the
state funds here in Minnesota, where
the investments can be watched at
all times. Then, what is better yet,
these funds will aid IN the building
up of the state. Minnesota had every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by
the adoption of the new system.

TIME TO ACT.

The Republicans of the house sup
ported Speaker Reed in the position
he has maintained in not appointing
the house committees. The action
the house has taken in directing the
public eye to the senate has undOubt-
eddy done much good, and may pos
Sibly work more. There is no ques-
tion but that the position taken by
the administration, Speaker Reed
and the Republican leaders of the
house, that the country wants no
particular legislation outside of the
tariff bill, at this time, is practically
correct There has been no demand
for general egislation. The people
generally much prefer that congress
put the tariff bill through and go
home than that it should enter upon
the consideration of general leglsla-
tion. There are, however, few bills
the country would like to see passed,
the most important of which is the
Nelson bankruptcy bill. The house
ought to take steps to consider and
pass that measure as soon as possible.
If the position the house has taken is
to stand, regarding committees, there
ought to be at least one exception
made, and the committee on banking
and currency ought to be named, so
that it can take time to properly
study the situation and frame need
ed legislation upon financial matters
ready for congress at the opening of
the regular session in December.
The time it would have would be none
too long, and it ought to be authoriz-
ed by the house to take up the mat
ter of banking and currency reform
during the summer and fall so as to
be ready for the session next winter.
Speaker Reed and the Republican
leaders will make a serious mistake if
they do not take such steps, and it's
appointment would not in the least
interfere with the program they are
now following. The financial legisla-
tion is matter that will not easily
be disposed Of, and tariff legislation
is getting in shape now, so that con-
sideration of the former should be
entered upon so that something def
mite may be arrived at.

SUGAR BEETS AT MENOMlNEE,

The company that built the beet
sugar refinery at Menominee, Wis,
failed few days since, and this fact is
being used by some as point against
the sugar beet business. But when
the facts as given are fully known, it
does not seem to be adverse to beet
culture and sugar manufacturing. 1t
seems that the factory was to have
been ready for the manufacture of
sugar last fall, but through an I'M
avoidable delay of some kind, it was
not completed and ready for business
until this spring. In the meantime
the farmers had raised their beets &C.

IN the senate Wednesday, the ar
bitration treaty was defeated by a
vote of 43 to 26, not the two-thirds
vote required by the constitution.
This will probably end any further
move in that line, as the United
States invited England to enter into
such a treaty, and now goes back up
on it's own invitation.

closely looked after through it. Here
is good example for Blue Earth
