Futile in Logic and Illustration.

These answering devotees Of q
hopeless cause, the Prohibitionists,
come up to the biennial sacrifice this
year with a serenity in the efficacy of
their panacea that IS not disturbed by
its failure where tried, nor ruff1ed by
less tenacious of belief. But let us give
them their due. Their battles have not
been fruitless If their goal has never
been won. What they have failed to
accomplish at the polls they have part
ly achieved in forming public senti-
lnent that no longer views drunkenness
with leniency nor accepts it as an evil
dence of superior ability. They have
demonstrated the inefficiency of COM

firmed other testimony as to the eff

measures, they have incf eased that true

Patriotic Germans.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
When COMMUNICATIONS get together now
a-days their patriotic sentiments find ade-
quate and appropriate expression. The Com
mercial noted yesterday the enthusiasm
aroused at a German song festival in New
York, when one of the leading citizens of that
nationality asserted the loyalty Of German
Americans to their adopted country, and de-
clared that If the bumptious young Kaiser
thinks there are any Germans in this country
who endorse his conduct, he should be I'M
deceived.
Even more significant was the action Of the
German Baptist Young Peoples Union of
America at the convention held in Buffalo the
fore part of the present week. This represen-
tatfve gathering, from all parts of the coun-
try adopted resolutions rejoicing in the fact
that a large number of German-American
young men, are enrolled in the army and navy
and deploring the unreasonable attitude of the
press in Germany, with regard to the motives
that prompted the president to demand the
liberation of the down-trodden people of
Cuba Then followed a ringing declaration of
unfinching loyalty to the flag, (which as no
other stands for the elevation of the human
race; and we will ever pray that like bless
ings shall become world wide and that the ma
lions of the earth, including the land of our
forefathers be brought to share the ines
tfmable boon Of civil and religious liberty"
We are glad to know this admirable express
sion has been published far and wide through
the medium of the Associated Press
The German element in American citizen
ship is and always will be staunchly loyal to
the country in every emergency. 1t Is just as
we'll to let William and his satellites at Berlin
understand this fact, in view Of their I'M
friendly attitude, and possible complications.

The Great Adjuster, Time.

When the railroads came to revolu-
tionize not only methods of transport
tation, but methods of those engaged
in production, it was inevitable that,
in the dslocations resulting, there
would come injuries, agitation. discon-
tent, rapacity and restrictive legisla-
ton strenuously resisted, often by
questionable means. Something akin
to what attends and follows great civil
revolutions are the concomitants and
resultants of these great industrial
revolutions. And it was equally inevi-
table that there should begin and
steadily go on processes of adjustment
that would tend to attain an equi-
librium of justice in the relations of
shipper and carrier. The arrival Of
that stage was greatly accelerated
when the promoter and Spectator had
run his course and his bankrupted
properties had passed into the hands
of men of large capital who regarded
their railway properties as permanent
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-08-01

investments, to be managed with
view more to the permanency Of their
returns than to their percentage on the
investment. That stage has been
reached in most and is rapidly COM
ing in all sections.
Enough, however, remains of the
prejudices excited by rapacious man
agement to make railways the favorite
point Of attack of the man who sees
his only avenue to official preferment
in public discomfort with conditions
whose real state he conceals and which
he does not hesitate to exaggerate.
Such serve only to retard the processes
of adjustment without securing any
ting benefits whatever. No
better service can be rendered than
the dissemination of facts showing how
rapid has been the movement of this
adjustment; how steadily it has pro-
gressed, and how resistlessly natural
laws have worked to accomplish what
human legislation was ineffective to
bring about. Such a service the de-
partment OF agriculture has rendered
in the publication Of a bulletin show
ing the changes that have taken place
in the rates charged for railway and
other transportation services in the
last thirty years. The matter has been
prepared by Mr.. Hyde statistician of
the department, assisted by Mr.. New
comb, chief of the section of freight
rates in the division of statistics, and
compiled from data obtained from the
interstate commission, the reports of
railways and the data gathered by the
senate committee and printed in what
is known as the Aldrich report.
We will not attempt at this time to
present any Of the extremely interest
ing information contained in this bull
letin, leaving that for later treatment,
but content ourselves with stating that
he who has been led to believe that
railway corporations are remorseless
monsters, above all law. merciless mo-
nopolies holding the people in relent-
less grasp and eXtorting from them
what they will, will find in the array
of facts here presented that which will
compel him to question the grounds
OF his belief. On the other hand, he
who takes the wider view, in which the
dynamics of this industrial revolution
can be seen, can trace the work of that
great adjuster, Time, in restoring equi-
librium among the related interests.

Now look out for great commercial boom
in Hawaii says the New York Mail and
Express. Sugar, coffee, fruit and Other
staples grow at wonderful rate in that ter
ritory, and under a wise and stable American
government the islands bound to yield
fortunes to hundreds of enterprising settlers
who have the intelligence to seize the great
opportunities there unfolding"
Such fool advice is not far from criminal.
1t is that kind OF advice that induces foolish
people to risk their present welfare on the
prospect of gaining fortune IN Hawaii:
Sugar coffee fruit and other staples viii not
grow one bit better after annexation than
they did before Il used to be claimed that
crops were always better under Repub lean
administrat ton, and there are some peop-e
I'D in Northern New York. the Ultima Thu
of RepCblicanisn, who always believed IL am
who still believe 1t. Such reasoning is bad
enough when used to get mems votes. But
when used to encourage people to so 2o1
miles beyond the Pacific coast in search OF
a fortune it is more serious. The Character
of the government doesn't change the pre-
ductiveness of the soil, a thing that pr9spec-
tive fortune hunters in Hawaii may we'll bear
in mind.
II should also be said that the United States
government has issued from the treasury de-
nartment a statistical pamphlet Hawaii.
II tells abut the trade, soil, climate, poeu a
information is exact and some is necessarily
only hearsay. But the conclusions reached
nv the consul general are Of interest TO pro-
spective settlers. He says that the labor Is
of the cooiie class imported under contrac,.
The consequence is that the remuneration FOR
search of employment are going to an over
stocked market. Hawaii is a place for CAPT a.
lists only who can command both labor ant
land. 1t isn't a good place for setter.

BARRED WIRE IN WAR.
The Spanish Method of Making
"TrOchas' With 1t.
Erono tba Nov, Wi, r-;h,,,.

FROM the New York Tribune.
Many accounts of the operations near San
tiago and other Places in Cuba show that
barbed wire plays important part in the
defense of the island. 1t has been known
ever since the revolution began in Cuba that
the Spanish trocha or dead line was marked
with barbed wire, but until the United States
troops reached the island there were only in
and to what extent it became an impediment
to an invading or opposing force.
1t was believed by many that these barbed
wire abatis were simply wire fences of from
four to eight feet high. but it has been found
that they not built on the fence plan.
The wire is stretched from tree to tree
will be fastened to a stump. and from there
to a height of eight ten feet on a tree
then down again to the next tree to height
of three or four feet from the ground. In
this way hedges with six or eight strands OF
barbed wire are along for mics
the construction being so irregular that enc
never knows where to look for thoindvidual
strands. The whole forms a formidable bar
rier.
This style of abatis is popular in all South
ern countries, and has been used wherever
came commercial commodity. The only
thing like barbed wire hedge used in the
Civil war was telegraph wire hedge at the
siege of Knoxville.
1t has been said by the Cuban and South
American leaders that the barb,d wire is
superior 10 wood abatis made from limbs OF
trees, because tne Wooc can De torn &c pieces
by artillery fire, and once down the forces
can march through the breach. 1t can a's1
be set on fire. The barbed wire abatis en-
not be destroyed in that way. and Thomas A.
Edison has suggested. tina. a dynamo might
make the collection of wire strands exceeding
ly hard to handle. But it does not appear
that the scientific methods have been en-
ployed by the Spaniards, and their wire
hedges were simply irregular obstinate and
most uncomfortable things, which vie d d.
however. to the nippers with which the
troops were supplied.
The large manufacturers of barbed wirs
say that while great quantities of their prod
uct were sent to Cuba during the last two
years. they have no means of knowing how
much of it was used in building defensive
works. They discredit the report that tho
American expedition to Manila carried m,ny
tons of barbed wire to be used in b1ilding
hedges similar to those used in Cubs. They
believe that much wire has been sent there,
but they say that it will be used for pur-
poses of peace and not for war.
