geles City Water company against the city

Liberal With Stamps

Frank Whittier, one of the bidders for
the contract to improve Twenty-third
street from Vermont avenue to Hoover
and also to sewer the same, is not we'll ac-
quainted with the provisions of the war
revenue stamp tax. When the bids were
opened yesterday it was found that he had
very carefully attached to each of his bids
so cents worth of 2-cent stamps. That did
not interfere with his being the lowest bid
der in each instance, either.

Election Returns Canvassed

The returns from the recent freeholders
election and the two bond elections were all
yesterday. The result of the
canvass of the bond elections proved the
unofficial figures to have been exactly cor
rect, but the freeholders' election tally
sheets changed the unofficial returns in
quite number of cases but In no instance
was the alteration enough to change the
membership of the board. The board, as
announced heretofore, was declared elected.

ORPHEUM.-Several old favorites made
their appearance once again last night.
among them the -Four Cohans." whose
act. entitled Money to Burn" is prac-
tioally the same as seen here on former
occasion, but it went with all the vim and
snap of an entirely new production. The
sketch is the silliest thing imaginable, but
the specialties OF the boy and girl make 1t
go like wildfre, and the audience could
not get enough of the eccentricities Of the
Juvenile pair
Tim Murphy made an immense hit by the
introduction of a novelty in his impersona-
tons, being the presentation Of William
]. Bryan and the recitation Of portion Of
his famous Grown Of thorns and cross of
gold" speech. No matter what might be
thought of the sentiment. the life and pow
er of the imitation were admirably de-
picted.
The Judges, pair Of balancing wonders,
opened the show and did some exceeding
ly neat and clever work, winning loud ap-
plause.
They were followed by Douglas and Ford,
the one slender young man and the other
lively soubrette, who gave some darby
melodies that were quite acceptable.
Wills and Loretto made a change in
their turn this week, introducing 1.-THE Golf
Tramp and the Society Belle" sketch
that was received with much favor Musi-
cal Valmore, In his limitations of instru-
mental music, once again captured his au-
dience.
The performance closed with an aerial
trapeze act, most of which is performed
over the heads of the audience that sits IN
the parquet. Two women, young girl and
a man, the Watson sisters and Zamora,
perform this act The feminine part of the
little troupe have not much acrobatic abil-
ity nor any particular amount of finish in
their execution, but they look extremely
well. which goes for a great deal. Their
work is dangerous, and, so far as that part
of 1t which is done over the heads OF the
audience is concerned, there should be the
protection of a net, not only for the sake
Of the acrobats, but also for the people be-
low. There used to be a law or ordinance
which enforced the taking Of this precau-
ton, and If such law is in existence now
1t should be obeyed At any rate, the act
should not be repeated without such pro-
lection as a net would afford.

lights to each ward. The reduction In the
price of lights means yearly saving of

Pension School Teachers.

A BILL will be presented at our next
legislature to pension school teachers
who have grown old in the service.
And why not they be pensioDed as
we'll as government employees and
soldiers? They surely do as much,
or more.for the general public as eth
er of the other class, and generally
for less pay, too. Here's hoping the
bill may become a law.-Kerkoyan
Banner.
The system of pensioning school
teachers is employed in Germany, the
result being to give stability to the
profession which is unknown in this
country. The pay of school teacher
is ridiculously small, and many teach
ers for that reason leave the profess
sion just when they have learned how
best to teach. The certainty of a
pension would keep these experienced
teachers in the schools,

COUNTRY publishers receive sub
scriptions now and then from city
firms who can have no interest in the
local news of the paper. This para
graph in the New York Times may
explain the reason for these foreign
subscriptions. A acknowledgement in

business says that his rule is that
when he sells a bill of goods on
credit to Immediately subscribe for
the local paper of his debtor. So long
as his customer advertised literally,
he rested but as soon as he be-
an to contract his advertising space
he took the fact as evidence that
there was trouble ahead and invaria
bly, went for the debtor. He said =

HERE AND THERE.
Sugar Beets Profitable.

THERE is no reason why farmers
should not experiment with a few
acres of sugar beets next year. In
no case has the net profit Of raising
the beets been less than $50 an acre
and in most instances has been over
$40. This must be more profitable
than raising wheat at so cents. The
Breeze would like to See some of our
farmers get out of the wheat raising
rut and try sugar beets for an expert
ment. Say five or ten acres.-Bar-
rett Lake Breeze.
Hon. Henry Kellar's beet sugar
factory has proved a success from all
accounts Two million and a half
pounds of sugar were made, which
found read sale in the Twin Cities,
and over four hundred carloads of
beets were used. The factory ran
day and night two and half months
and the managers expect to do twice
as we'll next year. as only two states
in the Union show a better soil for
the growth of this kind of beet
Benson Times.
Farming must be diversified if it is
to be profitable and here is an oppor-
tunity for farmer to make net pro-
fit of $50 an acre, while the returns
for wheat will very seldom exceed
$40.

GENERAL GARCIA.

General Calixto Garcia, the noted
Cuban insurgent died at Washington
Monday morning. He was in Wash
ington as one of the Cuban delegates
to discuss the future government of
the island. The cause of his death
was pneumonia, resulting from cold
contracted in New York a few days
aG~
General Garcia was one of the
great leaders of the Cubans in their
rebellion, though he was Spanlard
by birth, and went Sto Cuba as a
Spanish colonel at the time of the
ten years rebellion. He~went there
to help put down that rebellion, but
became dissatisfied with thesmethods
of Spain and joined the insurgents,
at once becoming one of.their bravest
and most adroit fightersS against
Spain,
At the close of the rebellion, when
Spain promised Cuba home rule,
General Garcia was persuaded to re-
turn to Spain and accept remunera-
tive office in Madrid. HeJ remained
there until 1896, when che made an
excuse to go to Paris, and at once
sailed for New York, where = he met
the Cuban junta and arranged to re-
turn to Cuba as one of the command
ers of the insurgents. He was placed
in command of the armytSSof the east,
and such was his reputation as
soldier and such his success that the
province of Santiago de Cubaswas re-
garded as the best place for the land
ing of American troops even before
Admiral Cervera took his feet into
the harbor of Santiago and made it
necessary that the point Of attack
should be there. General Garcia's
differences with General Shafter over
the surrender of Santiago <were not
Of long standing, as the two men met
il Washington a week ago on most
cordial terms.

In his Christmas editorial j. Adam
Bede, after speaking of the love which
naturally goes out to the man or ma
ton of humble beginnings, says
And it is because the latter day
minister of the gospel lacks 50 much
of these humble beginnings, these
burdens and these sorrows, that the
everyday world in so great measure
passes him by. As Jesus learned a
trade before entering the ministry,
and is the real carpenter who built
the house of many mansions, eternal
in the skies, so in our opinion it
would be well if every preacher of the
present time would take a manual
training course and play few pract-
ice games with 80 day notes in the
bank. Only by coming in touch
with the many sided world can their
sympathies go out to it,or their works
and preaching do any lasting good.
And here j. Adam gets the cart be-
fore the horse. We don't go to
church of a Sunday to hear disgust
tons on 80 day notes at the bank; we
have enough of those week days. We
want to be4ifted in spiritual life and
then the practical will take care of
itself. Furthermore it was not the
Christ as carpenter who saved the
world but the carpenter as Christ.
The distinction has world of mean
ing for everyone outside of the min
istry.

Legislative Jobs.

THE usual number of misguided
newspaper men will soon be found
Ioafing around the Hobbies of the no
tells in st. Paul, looking for jobs as
clerks and one thing or another in
the legislature. When they get the
jobs-if they ever do-they will spend
the winter in the city, spend their
salaries and more while they are
there, and come out in the spring
worse off than they were in the fall
with certain kind of experience
they would be a good deal better off
without. If you have newspaper
stay at home and run it, rather than
take the little cheap jobs that are to
be had in the Observation-Disclosures
Union.
1t is generally supposed that there
is money in legislative "jobs'but such
Jobs are not of the clerkship variety.
A newspaper would not be news
paper without politics, but still that
branch of the business takes time
that night better be spent washing
the job press; it is the rock upon
which friendships are shattered and
honor and honesty endangered.
let us have politics
"jobs" excepted.

The Injustice of Gossip.

dence before passing judgment. When

Today it is somebody else's boy or
girl, tomorrow it may be yours

be wiling to extend the same charity.
we should expect from otl ers. Gossip
distorts and magnifies occurrences
that have no foundation in fact. and
injustice is often done innocent
parties. Barrett Lake Breeze.

~ CHICAGO is in the throes of a street
railway franchise war. Last year the
notorious Allen bill passed the state
legislature and gave to the railway
corporation the use of the Chicago
streets for fifty years, while allowing
the corporation to exact the five cent
fare. Thereupon such storm of
wrath arose from the people that at
this election, the legislature which
passed the bill was swept away and
a legislature elected pledged to the
repeal of the bill.
Yerkes, the great street railway
magnate, is therefore exerting him
self to procure fifty year franchise
from the Chicago council before the
legislature meets. The council was
supposed to havea majority against
the franchise, but that majority has
bocome a minority under Yerkes
strenuous efforts. However Mayor
Harrison is proving the stuff he is
made of, and his veto will be an
impossible barrier to the franchise.
From the press dispatches, it ap-
pears that excitement in Chicago has
almost reached the point of violence.
While we do not believe in mob rule,
yet municipal corruption in this
country has reached such point
that very heroic treatment of Doodle
aldermen has become necessary.
The outcome may be that Chicago
Will conclude to own and operate her
own street railways.

IT IS gratifying to note the abund-
ance of good spirit and enthusiasm
which is being manifested toward
the militia company on the part
of the citizens. The council has fitted
up just as nice an arinory as could be
asked for by any company, aud have
done this in such kindly spirit that
the grace of the giving has added a
charm to the gift. Furthermore, the
interest which the citizens in general
have taken in the company, as is
shown by the donation of the music for
the ball is most commendable. On
the other hand, it is pleasing to note
that the company from captain to pri-
vate are young men worthy Of the in
terest shown in them, and such that
will repay the efforts on their behalf
by the honor which they as company
will bring on this village and it might
even be by the not impossible contin-
gent of protecting the property of
their benefactors.

entire face of Estrella is shot away,
and not a gun is left standing.
1t was the same in the Civil war
barded Sumter soon became unten-
able under the fire Of the old smooth
bores Of Beauregard's batteries. Now,
as then, the best defense, both for Or
tillery and musketry, is proved to be
the earth embankment. Shells may
explode in these and throw out great
gaps, but a few sandbags thrown in
quickly repair the damage and leave
the defense sas good as ever. The en-
trenchment, rapidly thrown up by in
fantry, makes a secure shelter from
rifle firing. The soldiers of 1861 soon
learned that they could hold ground
they had won by means of little dirt
banks scooped up with no more eff
cient implements than were their tin
plates.
All this has a practical bearing upon
the scheme of extensive coast defenses
upon which the country must enter if
it is to engage in territorial eXpan-
sion, with its attendant probable COM
plications with other powers, involv-
ing possibilities of war and the vista
ton of our coasts by hostile navies.
The earthwork, the long-range gun,
with disappearing carriage, and smoke
less powder will have to be the prin-
cipal factors of our defenses The re-
spect shown by our battleships and
cruisers for the torpedoes that guarded
the entrance to the enemy's harbors
indicate that they are valuable as
harbor defenses, into whatever disra-
pute the torpedo boat has fallen as an
Instrument of attack.

The Cases Not Parallel.

1t has been stated that parallel to
the shipment by the United States to
Spain of Spanish soldiers surrendered
to our troops is found in the return to
France of the troops that were sur
rendered to Sir Hew Dalrymple in Por-
tugal in 1905. Under the terms of ca
ritulation the French troops were to
be sent back to France, taking all
their arms and the officers al! their
property. They were accordingly sent
back, but, and herein is the difference.
in English transport ships The United
States contracts for the transportation
of their captives with a Spanish cor
poration, several of whose steamers
have been captured and condemned as
prizes Of the navy, a corporation that
is also our enemy. True, we pay them
for their service, and the English paid
the expenses of their transports, but
the difference in means used is suffi-
Gent to leave our case unique in the
annals of war.
There is also another difference. The
Spanish officers will be permitted to
take with them their personal property.
while the French officers were not all
lowed to take all which they claimed
as such. Junot, the French general,
demanded the use Of five vessels to
carry what he said was his property.
1t was, however, part of the loot Of
the city Of Lisbon. He and his gen
erals had stolen the plate from the
churches and claimed it as their per-
sonal estate. The Spanish officers at
Santiago have no such luggage. It is
comforting to know that the claims of
Junot and his crowd of land pirates
were disallowed, and they were made
to disgorge all their plumber.
