A FEW FACTS.

In pursuance of it's settled policy CT
discarding the publication Of news for
the circulation of idle and fabricated
runners, the Minneapolis Times has re-
Gently exhibited much interest in print
ing certain statements regarding the
G | o be. 1t announced on Wednesday
that the G | o b e has become the prop
erty of Mr. ]. ]. Hill, and also that it
is owned by Crawford Livingston,
the former street railway magnate, now
friend; j. L. Jones, a Broadway broker,
who is understood to be a figurehead."
and the present editor 1t is further
stated that one a. l.. Wyman is to be-
come editor and manager, and these
fairy tales are being repeated by the
Times with variations and frills.
We have already given the reasons
why no statement backed by anything
short of the affidavit of some person of
known veracity should receive any at
tentiOn at our hands, if it has appeared
in the Minneapolis Times Inasmuch,
however, as its system Of liberal free
distribution gives a certain amount OF
notOriety to its contents, we offer our
apology to the public for making a
brief analysis of it's latest fake
Mr.. Hill has not now and never has
had any interest in the Globe
The names of the directors having
been published in the Globe previ-
ously, are correct
Mr.. Crawford Livingston is not now
and never has been a street railway
magnate" or concerned in street rail-
way affairs
He is not citizen Of New York, but
has been for twenty-seven years and
is now citizen of st. Paul and one
of its prominent business men.
We do not know Of any such person
living as Mr.. J. L. Jones' Mr.. w. o.
Jones is not Broadway broker
Mr.. A. w. Lyman, who is a first
rate newspaper man, has no connec-
ton, present Or prospective, with the
G o e or any member Of it's manage
ment
The editorial conduct, policy and
management Of the G l o b e will not be
changed.
We may add, for the warning of our
friends, that the G o b will continue
to give to the people a newspaper so
clean, reliable, enterprising and indie
pendent as to inspire, in all probability
emanations from it's envious and dis
couraged contemporary Of new editions
of lies, which we may not think it
worth while to dignity by contradic-
ton.

AMONG THE WRECKS.

Bradstreet's has presented the pub

| branch of investigation made by it. in
! its latest issue. For years it has kept
record of the business failures, and
with these reports the public is famiI-
! lar; but back of them, under the sur
face, was the unsolved enigma Of their
| cause. Why is it so many men venture
into enterprises that result in failure
| and loss? And what is the ratio of
wreckage; what percentage of those
| who embark never reach haven? What
ventures are the most hazardous, deal
ing with conditions whose changes may
be frequent or extreme and not capable
of being foreseen? This statistical
work Bradstreet's has performed, and
| it is very interesting presentation it
makes in the tables in which it's in
vestigations are summarized
| The first table deals with the failures
that occurred in thirty-seven general
| lines Of trade during 1896, amounting
to Is, 112, of which 1885 are classified so
as to make comparisons possible. The
| total number engaged in these CLASH
| fed occupations were 666,147, and the
failures were 1.S5 per cent Of the whole
number. The largest number Of fail
ures in any one class was among gro

| but it does not follow that those occu-
spations are the-most hazardous or that
| in them the commercial death rate Is
| the highest. The number is greatest
because the greatest number are en-
| gagged in those pursuits. To get at the
comparative death rate, to determine
| the risks of vocation, the percentages
| Of failures in each must be taken for
| comparison. Here we find the rate the
| highest among makers of and dealers
| in clothing, where 7.O7 per cent of ali
engaged went on the rocks, a fact
showing rather strenuous trade condi-
lions than mismana cement 1t is not
| surprising that the second largest
wreckage is among the makers of and
dealers in bicycles, SIT per cent of
whom went under, for there were spec
ulative elements in that business that
took big chances. Hats and caps SYM
pathized with clothing. and 3.74 per cent
of makers and dealers threw up the
sponge, and the fragile nature of glass
| and crockery extended to those en-
gagged in it, bringing 365 per cent of
| them to smash.
With the average at 1.S5 per
| cent, it is evident that the fail
ures in numbers of vocations are be-
low the normal, and one expects to find
! them among these dealing in the great
staples that pass daily into consump-
| ton. Bakers were but 134 per cent:
| tobacconists but ITO per cent; coal and
wood dealers only SO per cent. while
makers of machinery and tools, not
understanding the much paraded paral-
| ysis of industry, scored but S9 per cent

THE TURK WILL HOLD ON

Conflicting reports from the East
leave the average reader in doubt from
day to day as to the future course of
events and the policy Of Turkey and
ever, that is open to no question The
sultan does not intend to evacuate
Thessaly, and he will never do it short
of an armed demonstration by Europe
to compel his withdrawal. 1t is anus
ing to note the dictatorial tone of the
English press, as if they had but to
whistle to the Turkish dog and he
would obey the signal. The English
people are trying to reconcile them
selves to the shame of their policy and
their place by assuming that they are
really masters. When the point Of
view is transferred to Southeastern
Europe, the outlook is very different.
Nowhere is the rule that possession is
nine points of the law so effective
and so powerful as in a dispute over
conquered territory. Turkey is per-
fectly willing to deliberate and delay
and prolong indefinitely diplomatic ne
gOtiations. She will debate with the
powers for the next ten years, if they
desire it, the propriety of her occupa-
ton of this important province Of
Greece. In the meantime, she holds it.
Her armies are there, it's strong posts

Thessaly indefinitely and make it a
part Of the Ottoman empire.
How is this to be prevented? Tur-
key knows we'll that only the absolute
unity of the great powers actively en-
gagged in the field could drive her out
If that contingency were presented, if
it were plain question of surrender
ing Thessaly or fighting the European
alliance, she would yield. But that
and there is precious little sign Of if
thus far. The powers were never less

1t is fortunate for lovers and users
of the wheel that courts have more re-
gard than city courcfis for the rights of
the people For the second time the
unnecessary and vexatious stipulations
OF the bicycle ordinance of this city
have been set aside in the municipal
| court The G o b has a right to
| congratulate the public on the success
| of a work of justice in which it has
played so considerable a part. Fol-
lowing the decision declaring in
tern should be affixed to the hub or
| fork of wheel comes another throw
ing out the requirement that lanterns
must be carried after sunset. While
the court does not agree that the en-
tire ordinance is unconstitutional, and
while wheelmen are not especially in
terested in having it declared so, being
perfectly willing to comply with all nee
essary and proper requirements for
the public safety and convenience, 1t
Ventilates the absurdity and the hard
ship Of the ordinance as it stands and
has been enforced. 1t is perfectly
true that. under it, riders must prac-
tically keep their lamps upon their
wheels at all hours Of the day or night,
and carry about with them this much
needless dead weight. This occurs be-

for pleasure ride with a plan to re-
turn before sunset. A dozen things
may interfere. He may be tempted to
venture a little longer excursion, or he
may not make as good time as he ex-
pected, or he may be delayed by acct
dents; and, if he has not his lantern
| along, he would be obliged to walk
! from the city limits to his home or
take the chances of an almost certain
| arrest. The court has properly held
the provision unreasonable, and there
fore Invalid
AS the city council took note of the
former decision by amending the ordi-
nance to permit lantern to be car
ried on the front post SO it should now
heed this second action Of the court
by enacting the Albrecht ordinance
that has already passed one body unan-
| imOusly. This does away with the at
tempt to regulate the lantern business
altogether except for sidewalk riding.
With that clause eliminated, the
wheelmen, while they may have
their individual opinion about the rea-
| sonableness Of the prohibited district,
will not quarrel with the ordinance as
whole if it can be enforced with dis
elimination. Nearly all riders already
have lanterns, and they will use them
just as freely now; only that use will
be directed by common sense instead
of by an arbitrary rule that has done
nothing so far except to afford officious
policemen an opportunity to wreak
their spite upon unoffending riders.
The wheelmen and wheelwomen of
| this city owe a great deal to the mu-
nicipal court judges, who have upheld
their cause. If the Albrecht ordinance
| is passed there will be no call for fur
Their legislation. We may still expect
the most arbitrary enforcement posi-
bic Of the remainder of the ordinance;
| but even an administration as vindic-
| lively opposed to Wheelmen's rights as
this is can scarcely make that, if there

of those engaged in it. Publishers and
printers came nearest the general aver
age with 1874 per cent, while furniture
makers and dealers as nearly doubled
1t at 1853 per cent. These figures deal
with the failures and percentages for
the one year. and 1t will be necessary
for similar statistics to be gathered for
seyeraA years before either the average
death rate or the degree of hazard of
any vocation can be ascertained with
approximate accuracy. We trust Brad

pilation to cover several years.
