War Decorations.

Spain has decorated all the Frenchmen
who were instrumental in securing peace.
Now why doesn't she go and decorate
Dewey. Sampson, Schley, Shafter, Wheeler
Roosevelt, and all the rest Of the boys who
did such valiant work in bringing the war
to a close?-Cleveland Leader
The American artists above mention
ed have been in the decorating line
themselves. The three first named ap-
piled their skill especially to the decora-
ton Of marine architecture, and so
effectively did they make their combi-
nations that the objects decorated have
been engaged ever since in soaking in
brine and probably will never again
make their appearance in sunlight. AS
for Shafter, Wheeler and Roosevelt,
neither have they proved slow in the
maintenance Of their art. Shafter, &C
cording to Richard Harding Davis,
passed much of his time in the Santa go
campaign decorating cot in the rear
Of the army: Gen. Wheeler decorated
tree, while Col. Roosevelt turned
part Of his attention to the decoration
of the secretary of war. No, the war
has been fruitful enough of decora-
tons without any contributions from
Spain. Let her confine herself to the
E'renchmen.

Ignorance and Cruelty.

On another page will be found de-
scription of some Of the odd frolics Of
birds. Instances are given which go
to show that these winged creatures
have ways Of killing Hfe's monotony
strangely similar to our own. There is
no boy who would not take more pleas
ure in watching the quaint square
dance Of the spur-wing lapwing than
in shooting or in Gripping the bird,
If he understood it we'll enough to
know that it danced. 1t is this idea
which is actuating the organizers Of
the bands Of mercy; they are confident
that, if children learn to know birds,
to understand their delights and to
sympatilize with their fears, they will
not need to be curbed by the bird laws.
The vacation schools, carried on by
women's clubs in other cities, are do
ing much to awaken in children a gen
uine interest in mature. They go on
the principle that ignorance is the
root Of all evil-especially of cruelty.

Mckinley at the queens jubilee cele-
bration in 1897. No confirmation was
necessary in that case. Recently his
name has been again mentioned In con-
nection with the successorship to Am
bassador Hay, soon to return home to
accept the state department portfolio;
but 1t would have been as impossible
now as then to secure his confirmation,
owing to Senator Platt's hostility.
Mr.. Mckinley would better have taxi
Ell Mr. Depew, Gen. Tracy or some
good Democrat from New York, rather
than to have made the choice he did.
Mr. Reid's influence is not SO supreme
as his egotism and his persistency in
appearing before the public in some Of
fetal capacity. He can only secure Of
flee through appointment, and even in
that case he has made so many enemies
by the insincere acts Of his career that
the only office that Is available for him
is one that does not require conflrma-
ton.

About two years ego the Russian
commissioner Of ways and means of
transportation, Prince Clilkoff, visited
this country on a tour Of investigation,
his aim being to examine into the ex-
cellencies Of the American locomotive
and rolling stock with the idea of hav-
ing them placed on the Trans-Siberian
railway and also to see what had been
done here In the development Of agrf-
cultural machinery, having in view its
Introduction on the large farms in the
interior of Siberia, which are soon to
be opened up by the new railway.
Later many hundred American locomo-
tives were contracted for, and about
a year ago, at the suggestion Of Prince
Chilkoff, a regulation was promulgat-
ed which provided that from Sept 10,
1898, to Dec 81, 1903, agricultural imple-
ments and machines not now manufac-
tured in Russia might be admitted to
that country free Of duty. Here ap-
pears to ba an excellent opportunity
for the American manufacturer. Min
nesota ought to be in this procession.
Let us hope that another Pfttsbure
may some day be located at the head of
the lakes.

The Public Library.

Mr.. Feldhauser has evidently hit
upon an excellent plan, not only for
creating interest In the public library.
but for securing the fund necessary to
remodel the market house for tenn
porary uses as library building. The
sum required for this purpose Is $40, loco,
and by its expenditure business places
and an exposition hall will be con-
struoted from which a rental Of $4,000
per annum can be derived, this revenue
to be employed as a sinking fund,
which, by accommodating during period
Of five years, will become the nucleus
Of a building fund. Meanwhile, the
library will be supported from the taxes
paid under the Bell charter.
Mr.. Feldhauser has taken up the
endless chain" idea, which Is begin
ming to move with a perfection equal
to that of an improved bicycle. except
that 1t operates more easily up hill
than down. Letters are prepared by
Manufacturer Bros. for distribution by
ladies, who are showing much interest
in the scheme, which is fully explained
in our local columns. Several hundred
letters have already been called for
and issued, and the receipts are begin
ming to swell with handsome rotundity.
1t should be understood-and this
fact Is Of absolute Importance as we'll
as interest-that nobody need feel re-
strained in the matter of the amount Of
individual donation to the cause. Sew
eral donations Of considerable amount
each have already been subscribed.
The ladies can get on the wheel-that
Is to say, on the endless chain-for di-
version Just as one might get on a
merry go-round for the mere fun of
the thing. Their husbands, or If they
have not yet secured any, the young
man, or old, as the case may be. whom
they hope to secure as such, can chip
in, not so much for the fun of the
thing, perhaps, as in the line of duty.
In fact, the ladies should impress this
ggestion-delica.tely, of course-upon
them. In short, anybody who wants to
contribute Is at liberty to do so, and
no revenue stamps are required to be
attached to the cash.

qualities that would enable him to grace

Back to Business.

Now that the war is over little good
can be accomplished either from dis
cussion of what has been accomplished
or in the shaping of the results which
are in large part~in charge of those
officially appointed to round out the
terms upon which permanent peace Is
to be based. Throughout the period of
hostilities the fact was noted and COM
mented upon both by or own people
and those abroad that our industries
appeared to be wholly undisturbed.
This was pointed to as an indication
Of the healthy tone of business pre-
vailing at the time war so suddenly
made it's advent.
The excitement growing out of spec
ulation as to~What--was taking place
in the different fields of war has COM
pletely subsidized; and it is an appro-
pirate period for the country to resume
its peaceful pursuits in the confidence
that any complications that may arise
will be carefully dealt with. There are
many problems to be solved, but fret
ting over what may be done here or
there will be an altogether Improbable
occupation.
We need now to go back to business
with view to making everything that
we can by the development of our re-
sources to meet the larger demands Of
trade and commerce which are likely to
appear. Here in the Northwest, espe-
cially, where the crops are so album
dant and where the purchasing power
of the peoples money is undisturbed to
degree never before experienced in
these communities, an opportunity
promising much in results, seems to be
immediately present. The farmer, hav-
ing completed his harvest, will seek
the merchant and tradesman and man
ufacturer in all localities in order to
secure supplies for the sustenance of
himself and family and the means
Wherewith to begin his undertakings
for the future From these smaller
centers demands will naturally flow to-
wards this and other cities for sup
plies Of every sort. Already there are
indications that much activity is ex-
pected before the autumn months get
well under way. Trade will go on with
perhaps increasing volume for some
time to come, without regard to any
thing that may be done by the several
peace commissioners. What the peo-
pie here in st. Paud want to do is to
perfect the machinery for securing as
much of this trade as possible Money
is abundant at low rates of interest;
business and commercial enthusiasm
ought to be kindled by the prospect.
We can only add that The G Il o b Is
in this field of increasing activity, and
we may with propriety suggest that
its columns are open for the advertise
ments of st. Paul, its splendid mar
kets and its ready accessibility from
all points of the compass. Now is the
time for every man in this community
to put his shoulder to the wheel-and
his advertisement in the paper-in or
der that all beyond our borders may
become as thoroughly possessed of the
knowledge of our worth and our ad-
vantages as we ourselves are.

A Club House for ST. Pau! Women.

The G o e last Sunday presented a
sketch, illustrated by pictures, of the
club house Of the Ladies' Literary Club
OF Grand Rapids, Mich. The cost of
the structure, methods of raising the
money, together with a statement of
last years earnings, through rentals
and SO forth, We're all given in detail.
During the week a business man of
this city was asked whether it would
De possible for q club house costing
$4,000 to earn $1,000 a year. When he
mad carefully inquired into the seating
capacity of the auditorium the renting
possibilities of the banquet hall and
the population of Grand Rapids, he re-
Piled that it was a very probable earn
ing, if the building was well mana ged
Nhen Grand Rapids club women can
own and manage club house in a citv
CT $4,000 inhabitants with such gratify
ing success, cannot ST. Paul women do
at least as we'll? If, in addition to s.
rentable auditorium Of medium ca.pac
lty and a good banquet hall, the struc-
ture contained a first-class dancing
hoor, there would hardly be an evening
IN the season when the building would
not be in demand, either for private
dancing parties, amateur entertain
ments, concerts or banquets. A gen.
tleman, commenting on the idea, sug
gested that ST Paul women might first
try their skill at club house manage
ment by renting the Kittson residence.
Whether it would be either possible or
profitable to handle this particular
place, the suggestion to first test the
plan is worth considering Discussion
of the subject will do no harm and Is
invited by The Globe.

American Steel In the Orient.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

The two contracts of the Carnegie Steel
company for Japan are Indication of the
growing commerce Of this country and of
the new influences at work in the Orient.
One is for steel rails for a new Japanese
railroad. The other is a greater innovation.
being nothing less than structural steel for
Japanese "sky-scraper." The Toxic steel
frame building will be only four stories high,
but that is a radical experiment for the Mi
kado's domain, where earthquakes and
smooms are rather common. If 1t proves a
success there is little doubt that it will be
followed by a building boom in Japan that
will be greatly to the advantage OF American
steel manufacturers.
There are greater opportunities for Ameri-
can enterprises in China than in Japan
But before the Chinese begin building steel
structures they must be further subjected to
the influences Of Western civilization. En-
tightening contact with British and Ameri-
cans cannot be successfully resisted for any
great length of time and Russia is aware Of
the fact. Under Russian control Chinese de-
velopment will be delayed II not wholly sup
pressed, until Russia is prepared to supply
steel rails and structural shapes from her
mile.
The establishment Of an empire In the
Philippines, however, will not promote the
interests OF American manufacturers in that
quarter OF the world. On the contrary 1t
will prove handicap as Mt. Carnegie SO
clearly pointed out in his recent paper. AS
the head Of the concern which has done so
much to put American products in foreign
markets his opinion is entitled to great
weight He and his firm have studied the
conditions in Japan, China and Russia most
carefully. They are also past masters OF
knowledge of the Industrial conditions and
needs OF the United States. When that
whole country 1t ought to be put to good use
by the government.
