NO Entangling Alliance With
Great Britain.

1t is by no means certain that our
new secretary of state, Col. John Hay,
is not at heart warm friend of Eng
land. Many little things have crept
out that have awakened the suspicion
that such is the fact Curious how soon
cur representatives in London become
tlnctured with British ideas. We recall
al the moment only single one on the
list who came back just as he went
abroad a full-blooded American-Col
Patrick A. Collins, of Massachusetts
who was appointed consul general to
London by President Cleveland
The stalwart Republican Inter Ocean
OF Chicago is impressed by what it
has heard about Col. Hay. 1.-THE
glamour thrown around the scheme
for binding our fortunes to the failing
cause Of England in Europe" it SAYS,
ought to be the last subject to occupy
Col. Hays attention at the present Mo-
ment He should understand that the
dream Of an Anglo-American alliance
is cherished only by a few Anglo
maniacs on our Atlantic seaboard, a
group Of sentimental mugwumps, and
few score of pulpit diplomatists, and
that it has no hold whatever on the
masses of the American people,"
The London Truth of Sept. 8, with
tie proverbial brutal frankness Of the
British press, talked thus plainly of
the British situation:
We find ourselves cold-shouldered by the
great continental powers of Europe and we
are terribly affrighted lest our commercial
supremacy in the far East should suffer, for
they are all competing with US there, and
Russia has secured to herself a land route
to China We, therefore, have been for the
last two or three months suggesting to the
Americans that, as they are our kith and
kin, they ought to join with US in some
sort of alliance. A country is actuated by
its own interests alone, and a more thor
oughly practical nation than the Americans
does not exist on the globe. Even suppos-
ing that they were to retain the Philippines,
they would do their best to remain friends
with al other nations, and the particular
ally OF none, for the plain and simple reason
that this is to their interest.
The Inter Ocean is right 1t occu-
pies the same Democratic ground with
The G o b e on this matter. The
American motto should be: "Harmoni-
Gus relations with all; entangling al
liances with none"

Swedish gymnastics.

The rudiments Of Swedish educa tional
gymnastics having been thoroughly
tested for the last seven years in the
primary and grammar schools of Bos-
ton, the teachers have adopted, for this
year, the higher course which was in
cOrporated into the school systems of
Norway and Sweden more than thirty
years ago. The principle running
through elementary and advanced
course alike is that quick and accurate
muscular action is the concomitant of
quick and responsive mind. For this
reason exercise Is obtained through in
telligent games, with balls, bean-bags,
balance boards and so forth. The
teachers hope TO have the grammar
schools furnished with a complete
Swedish apparatus adjusted to the Diff

FORTY YEARS AGO.

Just forty years ago the population Of st.
Paul was 10000. The growth OF the city
during the preceding five years had been
marvellous. From a small trading post it had
sprung to a good-sized town. AS the result
Of speculative movement, which for a short
time greatly enhanced values, the town had
suffered quite a setback by the reaction.
House rents were cheap, potatoes Is cents
per bushel and whisky % cents per gallon.
Mic Pottgieser bought out the old Min
nesota house at Fifth and Wabasha streets,
and conducted for several, years the "Pott-
gleser house." which was very popular with
the German travelling public. The next year
a great many Germans took up homesteads IN
Minnesota, and the "Pottgieser house" was
the headquarters for all such while in the
city.
In eight years the personnel of st. Pauls
business men had greatly changed Hardly
a merchant still in business who had
originally engaged in commerce in St. Paul
during the early SOS. Cathcart & Co. were at
the time the only firm in business who had
opened up a store in 1850.
There was direct railroad connection
between Chicago and ST. Paul. and it took
several days to make the trip by steamboat
and rail connections. Later, when the first
direct connection by rail was made, it took
twenty-four hours to make the Journey.
Steamboats, carrying the mail frequently met
with accidents, and the st. Paul people were
often shut off from the outside world for
week at a time.

1t Is Not Partisan.

1t has been intimated from more than
one quarter that the truths told about
the conduct Of the Spanish war had
behind them something Of partisanship.
The charge Is absurd. 1t is, of course,
to be apprehended that the charges
would be more readily given to the
public by those papers which do not
believe in Alger or his kind, but the
most eminent and partisan Of the Re-
publican organs have not attempted to
combat the facts as presented, and no
reputable Republican paper has had
the temerity to attempt justification
of Alger and his bureaucratic gang.

menting on the scandal, says:

or talk with the people without finding that

1t is related that once upon a time, Just

President Hill, of the Great Northern Rail-
way, says that while the railway war Of the
past few months, with low passenger rates,
has not allowed the railways to make any
money from that business, it has been a good
thing for trauscontinental roads. The benefits
VIII come later from the increased immigra-
stion to and development of Washington, which
was induced and aided by the low rates. If
in this manner the railways have been bene-
fted it is clear that this state Is also a
gamer. The small cost of railway travel to
the coast has induced thousands Of people in
the East to visit this section and investigate
IT'S resources and such investigation has con-
