Among the lessons of the war seems to be
that captive balloons are not a success for
observation purposes. A Massachusetts SOL
der writes to the Springfield Republican:

Spanish honor is not quoted on the
bourse and Spain has never put price on
it. but recent events show that it comes
high. Six months ago Spain could have had
peace by surrendering Cuba. which at that
time would have paid $2O0OO0,O0O for indie
pendence. BY going to war Spain has lost
not only Cuba but other islands of great
value. ships worth probably $90,OOO0Oo, ma
tional prestige and many lives If she has
saved a remnant of honor it has been at
enormous cost.

The suggestion that revolvers, swords and
bayonets be discarded as weapons in war
will probably acquire more force as the art
of war continues to be developed. This de-
velopment is all on the line of long-range
warfare, the gun that shoots and kills the
farthest being the weapon priced above all
Others There will be very little hand-to-
hand fighting in future wars. The sword,
already mere ornamental weapon might
as well be discarded. The bayonet, once
very formidable and useful weapon, is sell
dom used now. There have been great bayo-
net charges in history but they are of very
rare occurrence in modern wars and will
become still rarer. The revolver is handy
weapon in some emergencies but of little
use as general rule. The weapon of the
future will be the long-range, breech-load-
ing, rapid-fring musket.

A woman writes to the New York Sun sug-
costing that at a proper time after the close
of the war the regular army troops be re-
viewed and given a public ovation in New
York She says:
Let the Manhattans gaze for once on men
who go where they are sent or stay at home,
IN silent obedience; on men who eat what is
given them, whether they like it or not; who
do not write complaining letters to news
papers, nor make appeals for "delicacies''
when starting off on a campaign, and who
would have remained in Santiago and died
had not their officers made passionate APP
peal in their behalf.
This is all right as far as the regulars are
concerned, than whom there are no finer
soldiers in the world, but the undertone of
discrimination criticism of the volunteers
is not commendable The volunteers have
done their full duty in the war, the only
point in favor of the regulars being their
better discipline and greater experience.
Too much cannot be said in praise OF the
regulars. but they themselves would not
justify disparagement of the volunteers.

WEST GAINS BY CUT RATES.
Shipments From This Section In
creased by Eastern Wars.

Shipments from st. Paul east-bound have
been greatly increased lately because of the
wholesale rate-cutting by Eastern lines. The
rates from st: Paul remain stable. but as the
rates from Chicago to Eastern points are SO
demoralized local shippers find it to their
advantage to send as much stuff East as pcs
sible.
East-tou-d shipme ats fr m Oh cago were in
creased 10000 tons last weak, nearly double
the amount Of the corresponding week last
year.
The shipments going cast from the West
are not confined to grain, but large quantities
of such commodities as cured meats. dressed
beef. etc., are being transported.
The entire rate situation "east-bound from
the Windy City is badly demoraiized, the cut
ting being applied to almost all classes Of
freight The fact that what are called the
weak lines have gained largely in the tonnage
of shipments has made competing roads posi-
tive that the weak lines are doing all sorts

week of interested lines it is thought that
nothing will be accomplished towards resto-

broken it is expected that what will be done
will be but repetition of the old experience.
