THE MILITARY VIEW.

Commander A. 7. MahOn contributes
to Harpers under the title of "a Twen-
tieth Century Outlook an analysis of
conditions, past and prospective, which
might, with considerable degree of
propriety, have been called "a Plea for
Martial Glory" It is difficult without
doing violence to Mr. Mahons logic, to
give in half a dozen sentences the con-
illusions of a somewhat involved and
rather extended magazine article; but
the salient points may, perhaps, thus
best be brought out. The dominant
note of the next century, as foreshad-
owed in tendencies already apparent,
Mr.. Mahon believes, is tC be eXpan-
SIGN; a revival of the spirit of colonial
development which marked the close of
the eighteenth century will usher in
the twentieth AS result of this
movement, the buffer states which have
interposed to prevent a clash between
opposing factions will be occupied by
the one side or the other; and, in direct
contact, conflicting powers will stand
at bay. Eastern and Western civiliza-
ton, in a word. are to come together,
and, in Mr. Mahon's view, the great
question of the coming century is to be
which of the two will control the des-
TIMES of the world.
While a believer in universal peace
as a theory, the naval officer does not
regard it as either desirable or prac-
ticable reality, A general disarming

powers resting upon a forced rather
than a real amity Of nations, will, he
argues, leave the Western world at a

ism, as it exists among the powers Of
Europe. he does not attempt to defend
entire. but its strong points are en-
phasized and its weaknesses, to say
nothing of its positive evils, are passed

over with lightest touch. The greater
the degree of military advancement
today, it Is urged, the greater will be
the potential power of Europe and
America to resist overthrow, independ-
ent of conditions that may then exist,
when the struggle for supremacy
comes.
To man trained in the profession OF
arms-an author as we'll whose liter
airy fame rests largely on the history
of a naval hero-Commander Mahan's
position is the one most to be expected,
and the argument he offers is striking
that there must somc day be a battle
to the death between the East and the
West it is easy to see that the West
may find use for all it's military train
ing. But while this may be true Of
arbitration in general, the logic does
not apply with equal force to the two
great Anglo-Saxon nations, as the
writer would imply. 1t may be granted
West must fight for life, England and
America must bear the brunt of the
struggle; and then it does not appear
that the two prospective defenders are
to gain anything by practicing on each
other in the meantime.
The popular ideal of the past has
been military power, tempered with the
mercy and justice of Christian civili-
cation. 1t is probably true that such
an ideal is the one that most people
have in mind today, and that it will
continue to hold it's place in the dawn
of the coming era. There are many,
however. who will dispute Commander
Mahan's assertion that the century
about to be born will offer nothing bet
ter than the one now Fastening to its
end Justice and mercy are hardly to
be bettered as constituent factors in an
ideal, and might is not to be eliminated
while finite nature remains human; but
many who read the signs of the times
believe that the keynote of the next
century Will be peace ana not war, that
force will be called in as arbiter as a
last resource and not as first eXpedi-
ent. By these it is expected that the
fighting of the twentieth century will
be done not by those who can but by
those who must, nor will they admit
that refusal to do battle for trivial

displays resembling those Of New Or
leans and st. Louis. The entrance
of petty monarchs with their courts
and retinues.-great parades decorated
with deliberately constructed floats,
having an industrial Ora symbolic
significance, and an imitation of the
famous flower festival of less rigorous
climates, have been the prominent fea-
ture there. This it is possible to de-
velop grandly, until Minneapolis might
easily take the lead of all the cities
in this country in such display.
st. Paul, on the contrary, developed
original features that are equally sus-
ceptible of improvement and expan-
sion. No one who witnessed the storm
ing of the forts on the island could
fail to realize that out of this germ
might be developed one of the grandest
spectacles possible to witness. With
more elaborate Preparations, "a greater
store of novel and beautiful pyrotech-
mics, and the construction of large
fiotillas of advancing and retiring yes

discharging prismatic missiles, we
could eclipse anything witnessed any

they have done, to their own profit
and to the delight of others, it would
be missing a great opportunity not to
point out the vast possibilities lying
dormant within the ideas that have
been already grasped. The people Of
St. Paul and of Minneapolis have done
well. If this success shall stimulate
them to more ambitious efforts, we
have not a doubt that the Twin City

of national interest and universal de-
light.

MAN AND BEAST.

1T would be hard to imagine a more
hooking contrast in our modern civiliz-
alton than that which is furnished by
the anxiety of humane people to pre-
vent man from taking his dog into

himself. Our societies for the preyen-
ton of cruelty to animals, and humane
people generally, are horrorstIslck at
the idea of taking the dog up aloft
and letting him come back to earth at

they think ought to be prevented, even
if it be necessary to summon the in
PREVENTION of the law. The aeronaut,
on the other side, is quite sure that
the dog enjoys his experience, and he
is convinced of the entire safety of
the whole performance
The amusing feature of this is that
nobody seems to appreciate the irony
OF the public interest in the fate of
the dog and its indifference to the fate
OF the man.. Of the two, the latter is
less safeguarded, and his life is far
more likely to pay the penalty. The
dog has the man to look after it: the
man has nobody to look after him, ex-
cept that special providence that has
general supervision of fools In case
the worst anticipated should happen,
the dog or the man would lose his life.
1t is considered worth. while to have
societies organized to save the beast,
II possible, but the man is free to go
his own way to destruction
These balloon ascensions, that are
made feature of Fourth of July cele-
brations and county fairs and other
occasions of merry making, where a lot
of people are gathered together, ought
to be without either public or legal
sanction. 1t is a pity that society is
not sufficiently far advanced to pre-
vent any man or woman from gazing
on feat that is absolutely purposeless,
and that involves a risk of human
life. If they are still barbarous enough
to enjoy the sight, then the man ought
to be prevented by law from gambling
against fortune with his life as the
stake, just as much as men are pre-
vented by the police from jumping off
Brooklyn bridge, or performing other
foolhardy acts at the imminent risk of
self-destruction.
We do not think it worth while to
do this. We allow the man to descend
by parachute, although it is a species
of suicide, the fatality merely coming
soon or late, as the case may be- SO
there runs through all our modern civil
ization the dark thread of indifference
to human life. The sacredness of life
is little regarded in our economic sys-
TENS, still less in our social arrange
ments We do but blazon abroad the
shame of modern civilization as a
whole, when, in this almost ludicrous
exposition of 1t in a petty incident, we
organize ourselves into societies to
protect the dog and not the man.

this question, some such statement as

Speaking for ourselves, we are oblig
ed to characterize this statement as a
plain, ordinary. everyday. f1at-footed
lie. From the very beginning the
Gil o b has urged the use Of domestic
stone in the construction of the state
capitol. 1t has not based its position
upon any foolish theory of protecting
Minnesota industries, but upon the
broad, general proposition that the rep
resentative building Of the state should
be representative also of the resources
of the state. We have gone so far in
this direction as to express emphatical-
ly our approval of the sentiment that,
if Minnesota had no other native ma
terial than yellow brick or wood, then
it would be better to use those than to
go elsewhere. This has been the
G o b e S position, and it has never
varied from 1T hairs breadth. The

them to be thoroughly honorable and
conscientious men, who have given this
subject careful study for months, and
have stated frankly and fully the rea-
sons for their action. yielded, as good
citizens everywhere have done, to their
conclusions
The idea of gauging the propriety of
the use of one material or another by
the effect that the new building would
have as IAN ornament to ST. Paul. has
never suggested itself to anything but
Minneapolis mind. There is no other
place small enough for it's home. We
believe now that far more injury will
be done to the state and all its inter
ests by this tempest in teapot that
the Journal is so diligently fomenting,
by dragging the question into the
courts and piling up opinions and de-
cisions and injunctions and getting
ourselves involved in an inextricable
quarrel, than by sending to South At
RIGA for material, if necessary.
We do not expect the Journal to be
able to see that it is the state and it's
people who must suffer, either from an
excess OF the appropriation they have
agreed to, or from delaying the COM
pletion of the new capitol for years. To
st. Paul it cann,t make a penny's
worth Of difference what conclusion is
reached. But there are papers in st.
Paul that are capable of taking a pub
lie view of things aside from their rela-
ton either to their City or 20 Minneap-
oils, The Journal shows itself to be as
incapable of that as it is of telling the
truth where the interests that it cham
pions would be assisted by falsehood:

FOR MAYOR. THE sLUGGER.

For the most part the electorate
takes itself very seriously. Even where
it's actions do not betoken that degree
of wisdom which should characterize
an assemblage of sovereigns created
free and assuming ID be equal, there is
a gravity about the proceedings that
indicates sense of deep responsible
ity. 1t does the most absurd things
with a dignity that precludes any con-
seriousness of doing anything but the
most fit thing possible. 1t will, for
illustration, select for a representative
to congress fol purely agricultural
district a lawyer who would not know
whether the name Norman-Percheron
was applied to a COW or pig or
horse. or for auditor man who could
not add column of figures accurately
to save his life, or register who
could not write legibly. But it will do
all these inconsequential things with
as grave a manner and with as much
assurance of doing precisely the right
thing as a skilled surgeon would wear
in performing an intricate and delicate
operation
But now and then the electorate de-
lights in pure and conscious buffoonery.
1t has been known to select and elect
for the high office of state senator a
man who played the part of a clown

not playing a less worthy part Ten

ernor and repented only when Butler
insisted upon being taken seriously
And now 127, 900 of the voters of Bos-
ton propose to the remaining voters to
elect John l.. Sullivan, the retired
bruiser, as mayer OF that city, piece
of buffoonery that will eclipse the But
Ter incident. John takes himself seri-
ously, however. He has no doubt that
he would make better mayer than
Boston has ever had. He knows lots
of ways in which he could be useful

the weight of SulIivanss fist; but it is
probable that his candidacy and his
election would be an excellent joke and
it might be as well to interrupt the
long line of mayoral selemnfty with an
interlude Of hilarity. Anyway. john
actually got that number of voting sig
natures among the electors of cultured
Boston and will be candidate. which
will be good joke in and of itself; and
he may be elected, which, considering

fore, and with greater success. The

were a surprise and delight to the
residents of these cities, as well as to
those who came to- Us from abroad.
The idea of making this a carnival

into fact. No one could be on the
streets in the evening last week with
out wonderment and delight at the
many ard novel preparations for pub
lie entertainment, and the heartiness
and facility with which the whole pub
lie entered into it.
These adjuncts of the state fair have
already become, we believe, a natural
and probably an irseparable feature
of our own life, and we look to see
