Senator Hale is to be thanked for break
ing up another senatorial expedition
headed by Proctor of Vermont to study
the conditions in Cuba. The results Of
similar expeditions before the war were
notsof kind to make the people of the
United States want any more of them.
The public has not forgotten that it was
Immediately after Proctor returned from
one OF these expeditions that he fired on
that famous speech which did more than
anything else except the destruction of
the Maine to precipitate conflict. No
body knows what dire calamities,. might
grow out of another visit by him at this
time. Cuban problems are being studied
onsthe ground by mon amply competent
to solve them or at least. to suggest their
solution, and the addition Of Senate
committee even if it devoted itself to
study would be of no advantage and
might be of considerable disadvantage.

Senator Hosr thinks the Nicaragua
canal should be built, and built by the
government He is opposed to an in,
termediate company to which the govern
ment shall lend its credit, as it did to the
concern that built the Pacific railroad.
It is altogether likely that Senator Hears
plan will bring about the completion of
the canal much more quickly and with
much less scandal than the plan of build
ing 1t through the Maritime Canal COM
pany or any other private cooperation.
But it may not enable certain individu
ais to make 80 much money.

The latest report is that Senator Hoar
has abandoned his opposition to the treaty
and will vote for its ratification. Later
on he thinks he will introduce some sort
of resolution looking to the ultimate
disposal of the Philippines. Nobody
acquainted with Senator Hoar's past will
he surprised at his flop in this case. He
was originally opposed to the annexation
of Hawaii, but eventually spoke for it
and voted for it. The Senator's instincts
are right, but his spinal column Is not
remarkable for stiffness.

The annual address of the Master of
the State Grange has considerable to say
about good roads, or bad roads, for he
admits that the most Of. them.are bad.
But he appears to have no very effective
remedy to offer, except the choosing of
men for road agents for their ability and
knowledge rather than for political skill
and "favoritism. A state commission
be evidently does not approve of, intl-
mating that 1t is expensive and will eat
too much at the public expense. The
master seems to be after way to get
good roads without. spending any money.
and if anybody has a plan of that kind it
can, undoubtedly, have his endorsement.
But we are afraid such plan will not
be forthcoming.

Senator PIatt says the consent of all the

That perhaps is true. But the consent
OF some of them ought to be necessary,

=. Thg Master of the State Grange seems
Rta 1hank that all the opposition to list
ing bill comes from people who are trying
to avoid their just share of taxa ton. But
such is not the case. We imagine the
great majority would make no opposition
to a listing bill if they believed it's effect
would be to fairly equalize tax burdens.
But they do not think SO and they have
good reason for their opinion. The testimo-
ny in states where it has been in existence
for many years-Ohio is notable exam
ple-is that it makes the tax burdens
more unequal. Widows and orphans are
caught by it, because their estates are
disclosed in the probate courts, but the
people whom it is intended to reach al
most invariably escape. Economists, such
as David A. Wells and Prof. Ely. have
condemned the listing system after ex-
haustive examination as failing utterly
to do what it was designed to do--bring
personal property from its hiding places
and eoualize the burdens Of taxation.

Colorado is state of so widely
diversified resources that it is very
difficult to set any limit to them.
When silver was fashionable she
set the pace of production so fast
for all rivals that she was called
the silver state. When later sill
yer was discredited and gold was
wanted, she Immediately begun to
look up the neglected industry of
gold mining. In less than six
years she has outstripped all COM
petitors in gold production, and
promises to excel the combined
output of all the other states in
another decade. Fearing that the
great production may create 8
"glut of gold,' our enterprising
mining men have within the past
two years begun to search for cop
per on account of the growing de-
mand. When there was nothing
particularly urgent about the mat
ter Colorado was willing to let
Michigan, Montana, Utah, and
even Arizona, take the palm for
value of copper product. But
lately it has become a matter of
state pride that Colorado shall be
second in nothing that is worth
striving for, and hence it is that
copper discoveries are being made
all over the state and eastern
capitol is coming in to develop
them. From the present indica-
tions another decade will see
Colorado at the head of the list OF
copper producing states.-Daily

The past decade has been
marked by n constant evolution in
the methods of harvesting and
manufacturing lumber. Where
the ox-team laboriously drew to
tidewater a turn of logs few
wears ago, the steam donkey now
performs the same task cheaper
and more conveniently. As the
timber was cut away from the tide
water, cattle became useless, and
today the wire cable penetrates
into the woods for distance of
six thousand feet from the camps,
hauling the great frs over stumps
and up steep grades as easily as
the ox-team could haul them on a
down grade, and more expedite
ously. AS the camps have pene-
trated further into the woods, rail
roads have followed in their wake.
There are now operating in Wash
ington logging railroads hauling
thirty-three miles to tidewater.-

True to Their Teaching.

The administration is experiencing
one and a quite natural result of the
policy of protecting the shipbuilding
industry with our navigation laws
These prohibit register to all vessels
not built in our yards, with some eX-
ceptions, such as was the case of the
MeTrimac on which that high official
made so fat a profit. A foreign built
ship, if wrecked and rebuilt or repair
ed in American yards at a cost treble
her value as a wreck, can have Amer
lean register. The result of this and
of other minor causes has been that
we have practically no vessels in the
foreign trade. The coastwise trade is
almost wholly carried in domestic bot
toms. But there came suddenly upon
the government the need of troop ships
to carry the eXpeditionary forces to
Manila and Cuba
The owners Of steamships of suitable
capacity and of United States register
at once utilized the opportunity our
laws gave them. They had a corner
on the transport business and proceed
ed to squeeze Uncle Sam. They de-
manded eXorbitant charter prices Elk
petitions were delayed while they and
the helpless officials chartered. Finally
Merritt threatened impressment. For
eign steamers were offered in plenty
and at reasonable rates, but they had
to have American register, and it was
proposed to give it to several to break
the corner. Judging from the reported
prices paid for the ships chartered by
the Merritt expedition, we infer that
the ship owners came out ahead.
There have been severe comments,
made by papers that support the policy
that made such eXtortion possible, upon
the ship masters for what they call
their want of patriotism. OF course
1t was unpatriotic and extortionate.

Is This the plan of Campaign

Ever since Gov. Clough dropped that
remark about there being but one office
which he was after, let fall at a time
when he was said to be using all the
Establishments of his station to fur
Their the ambition of Van SAINT for the
nomination for governor, he has kept
the editors of his party papers busily
guessing. Their latest guess is that,
after all, Clough intends to take the
nomination for governor himself. And
then they proceed to descant upon the
reasons for and morals of this sudden
change. and to emit homilies upon the
exhibition of selfishness involved in
the cool slaughter of the Winona RATS
man. While guesses are being thus
INDUCED in, we offer ours, confident
that it is at least as good, as plausible
aid as likely to be correct as is any
made by those who have a more i'm
mediate interest in the little game
that is being played than we have.
We assume, as a basis, that Gov.
paign of 1894 and it's conse-
quents without learning something
which he intended to turn to
his advantage when the time
came. He saw Nelson, a candidate for
governor disavow a candidacy for the
senatorship; saw him, elected, immedi-
ately begin to lay pipe for that higher
office; went in with him to help him
get it, because it would put him into
the governorship, and learned how
easily such games are played when
"a q tc OF mr.
Stunning that he learned that game, and
that he intends now to play it for him
self, it must be conceded that
he has played the game very
adroitly, making but one slip when he
allowed his tongue to escape control
long enough to say that he was
after but one office. He has played
Van SAINT shrewdly. Van SAINT has
played his part in the game quite as
expertly. AT no stage of it has Van
expected to be nominated for governor,
and at no moment has Clough intend
ed he should be. And still each in
tends that Van SAINT shall be governor.
That would be paradoxical but for
the remark the governor let escape
him about that one office which he is
after If Nelson's tactics in 1894 are to
be repeated by Clough in 1883, Van
SAINT will corral delegations Clough
could not get, but the latter
will get enough to give him
the balance of power. At the
proper stage Van SAINT will conclude
to accept the nomination for lieutenant
governor and turn his strength to
Clough. Then, when the legislature
meets, there will be the same buying
with places, commissionerships, bu-
reaucracies, inspectorships, surveyor
ships and so on that Nelson used to
secure the senatorship Van SAINT as
lieutenant governor will work for
Clough for senator as Clough worked
for Nelson, and be rewarded as Clough
was, with the governorship.
This guess may fall wide of the mark,
but it is quite as probable as any we
have seen, and we tender it to our con-
temporaries in the other camp for their
analysis. if not for their information.

Happy Occasion in Hebrew Society
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
There took place yesterday afternoon at
the synagogue on College avenue one of
the most largely attended Jewish wedd ngs
that has been seen in St. Paul in some years.
The synagogue was crowded with friends and
relations of the bride and groom. and the
ceremony was performed, after the orthodox
fashion, by Rabbi Aronsohn.
The bride was Miss Rae Marks and the
groom Mr.. Louis A. Vehon. The bride was
attended to the altar by her father and there
received by the ceremonial escorts, Mr.. and
Mrs NJ. Rosenholtz and Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
Finkelstein. Under the canopy that was held
by the groomsmen and maids she was re-
ceived by her maid Of honor, Miss Lena We
hon, and there met the groom. The wedding
party, formed under and beside the canopy.
consisted of Arthur Goodman, who was the
best man, the maid of homer and the Misses
Ida Finkelstein, Ida Vehon and Rose Marks
and Messrs. Harry VehOn Charles Marks and
J. Vehon. The bride and her maids were all
dressed in white organd,e and carried bride
roses.
The impressive marriage ceremony of the
orthodox rite was performed in detail by
Rabbi Aronsohn.
After the ceremony there was a very large
reception at Sherman hail. nearly 200 couples
being present at the banquet that was serv-
ed.
