A Big Libel Suit at Minneapolis
Comes to an End.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 5.-The great
est libel suit ever tried in Minnesota
has come to an end. with a verdict of
not guilty. The action was brought
by the Minneapolis Trust Company
against the Minneapolis Times w.
e. Haskell, its manager. and John
Blanchard, its editor, and was a. GRIM
inal prosecution by Indictment. The
case was ON trial two months, and the
jury, after being out twenty-four hours,
brought in a verdict of not guilty as
to the defendant Haskell, which will
settle all the cases.
The Indictment grew out Of an ed
itorial comment by the Times on the
conduct of the Minneapolis Trust Com
pany, as the trustees of certain Wesr
Pullman bonds, part of the assets of
the defunct Guarantee Loan Company
These bonds, the Times charged, were
disposed of to a so-called creditors as

GERS of the bonds for whom they were
held in trust, and who were scattered

posTPoNEMENr OF INVASION.

One need not be an expert in the science
of war to understand why the immediate
transfer of an army to Cuba has been post
poned. The plan of an immediate movement
was made when it was believed that the
Spanish fleet was at CadiZ. Upon that sup
position the occupation Of some port In
Cuba by a large army was the natural
thing to do without delay. All the draw
backs in the way of climate and disease dur
ing the rainy season would not compare
with the advantage resulting from the oc-
cupation of so much Of the island as would
relieve the necessity of retaining so many
ships in the blockade Service. Blockading
may seem to be an easy service, but 1t is
not; on the contrary, 1t is a very trying
duty under the most favorable circum-
stances and one of intense anxiety and suf-
fering on board of arnored ships in the hot
weather. Tornadoes, which always attend
the rainy season, add new dangers to block
aiding the ports of Cuba.
The appearance of the Spanish fleet in
anything like striking distance of Cuba
renders the shipment of troops in trans
ports a danger which the conditions of the
war do not warrant. A single Spanish
cruiser could infict serious injury upon
fleet of transports carrying troops, without
involving any considerable risk. Two or
three armored ships would make it we'll
nigh impossible to land troops. We are in
that unfortunate position that all the move
ments of our armies are announced to the
world. In advance. the departure of trans
ports would be announced so as to be
known to the Spanish feet, and it's officers
would run great risks to improve a chance
to attack fleet of transports loaded with
troops. .
These and like conditions have led the au-
thorities to postpone the occupation of Cuba
until the Spanish fleet shall be met and van
quished. That done, the occupation of Cuba
and the overthrow of the Spanish army on
the island would involve no great hazard.
Meantime, the troops can be got in readiness
by the seasoning process and that exacting
discipline and drill which alone make sturdy
soldiers

A REASONABLE REQUIREMENT.

No person shall be licensed to teach in
the public schools of the borough of Man
haitian and the Bronx, otherwise Greater
cate of good health from a physician ap-
proved by the School Board This is as it
should be-. There is no calling which in
wolves SO great a nervous strain as school
teaching, especially in these days when the
tendency of educational methods is to make
learning easy to the child at whatever cost
to the teacher. Even under the most favor
able circumstances teacher needs the best
of physical health. Without it she cannot
do justice to herself nor her pupils, and no
complaint should be made when this qualifi-
cation is exacted. 1t is the wearing char
acter of the work, even to those who enter
the profession in the best of health, and
the salaries so i'll proportional to the service
demanded that have suggested the idea of
pensions. In many cities benefit organiza-
lions have been formed among the teachers,
the purpose being to pay a certain stipend
to those who i'll or who retire after
specified number of years. In Philadelphia,
If the Journal is not mistaken, a certain
proportion of this pension fund is contrib
uted by the School Board. In Chicago the
plan is successfully carried out by the
teachers themselves. one elderly woman
lately retiring on an annual pension of 5000.
One difficulty experienced in getting such
a plan in operation is the reluctance felt by
young teachers to paying even a small
percentage of their wages into a fund from
which they feel that they will themselves
never profit. 1t is phase of the indus
trial problem that crops out wherever
women are employed. Few young women
enter any remunerauve occupation with the
expectation of remaining in it permanently;
the possibility of marriage and consequent
retirement from such work is before them
and prevents those prudent arrangements
for the future that young men in like posi-
tons make as matter of course. But it is
at all events desirable that one who is to
be teacher. even temporarily, should be
physically strong, and the New York rule
is worth general adoption.

The Forum gives it's first pages for May to
an article by a German diplomat, entitled
Germany and China" Half a dozen years
ago it is doubtful if the editor of the

article even If he would have found space
for it. Then our people had very little in
terest in what the far-away world was
doing. Now they have, and the intention Of
Germany in obtaining ports in China is a
matter of deep interest because it's action
nifioant that German diplomats hasten to
explain the policy of Germany in China to
the American people, and that it does not
involve any hostile attitude to American
commerce in China. Another article in the
same. magazine is devoted to the new rail-
way terminus in China, which indicates an
interest in the policy of Russia in the
Orient. Two other articles are devoted to
our political and commercial relations with
other countries The North American Re-
view also gives its first pages to a consider
alton of the basis of an understanding be-
tween. the United States and Great Britain.
