The expenditure Of the United States
for coast defenses has been criticised
on the ground that land defenses are
less desirable than naval strength.
The experience of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, SO far as it went, and Of 9th
er conflicts in which there was a fair
test shows that land defenses can play
very important part in defense
against naval attack. Dewey made
short work with the Notifications at
Corregidor island and Cavite, but those
at San Juan and Santiago held Samp-
son and Schley with considerable sue
cess. So in the civil war Farragut
burst open the portals to New Orleans
and Mobile, but Fort Sumter and Fort
Macalister resisted all attacks till they
were taken in the rear, and Fort Fish
er required two bloody assaults by land
and sea before it fell. So far as both
coast defenses and naval strength are
necessary, the United States is able to
provide them and need not be lacking
in either.

At the sanitary congress held recent
ly at Southampton, England, Sir Will
liam Preece, in discussing modern san
itation, said that it was summed up in
the Mosaic doctrine of pure air, pure
water, pure food, uncontaminated soil,
healthy dwellings and clean bodies. In
speaking Of the water supplies Of cities
with relation to communal and per-
? sonal cleanliness, he pointed out that
English consumption of water rarely
exceeded 25 gallons a head, while in
New York it reached 60 and in Phila-
delphia 80 gallons" This makes out a
strong case for the greater cleanliness
of Americans and American communi-
ties.

AND so Dreyfus is pardoned. If
France imagines that the sense of JUS
tice of the world will be satisfied with
the%pardoning OF a man who was never
guilty of anything save devotion to a
country that did not deserve it, she
will find herself undeceived when the
people of the world come to pass judg-
ment upon her. The trial. conviction
and sentence of Dreyfus constituted
one of the blacklist pages in the his
tory of France, and was fraught with
greater menace to the French govern
ment than anything that has been
done under the seal of state since the
revocation of the edict of Nantes. Do
what she may in the future, France
will be looked upon by the world as the
plaything of a band of mercenary con-
spirators which has invoked unde-
served punishment upon an innocent
man in order that the guilty may
escape.

CHARLES A. PILLSBURY, the re-
puted millionaire, left fortune which
shrunk like most fortunes do, under
the appraisement of his administra-

the foremost figures in the business

west, and was supposed to be i'm
mensely wealthy. Like many others
Of his type his wealth was vastly over
estimated in the minds Of the general
public, and he leaves only modest
fortune to his family.

W. J. BRYAN had an opportunity to
unreel few yards of his long-delayed
elucidation Of the trust problem at
Chicago. The remedies proposed by
him, like those of most physicians who
prescribe without knowing the char
acter Of the disease, will be accepted
with considerable misgiving by dis
eliminating public. Mr.. Bryan's rem
edy for everything is to tear some
thing down, leaving to the future and
to others, the work of building up.
Like the French people, who, when
excited, "a bas'' everything from the
government down to the pawnshops,
Mr.. Bryan simply proposes a negative
cure. His idea seems to be to tear
everything down, and then begin all
over again and build up something
new. What he proposes to build and
how he proposes to build up, are mere
matters of speculation, and that is one
reason why the people of the United
States do not trust him. The trusts
can be regulated and their evil tend
ency checked by a legitimate process
OF law, and without resorting to the
extreme remedy of abolishing all or
CARNATIONS for the protection of labor
and capital. Mr.. Cockran's idea of
complete publicity in the bookkeeping
methods Of all corporations, is first
and long step in the direction of sup.
pressing the combinations formed for
the purpose of restricting trade and
commerce. Not one. of the great trusts
which Cypress the country to-day
would dare, under the present law, tc
expose their books to the public. They
are operating in violation of the law
and their books would prove il. By
carefully regulating the laws govern
ing local and foreign corporations, each
state might protect itself up to the
point where an interference with inter
state commerce laws might cause EN-
barrassment. Congress could ther
take hold and do the rest. -. -:

WE read the Democratic papers with
a good deal of interest these days.
That is confession that one might
ordinarily be slow to make, but there
is a good deal in the Democratic pa
pers of interest to one. There is not
very much these times to encourage or
make glad the heart of the Democratic
editor. Times are good, money is
plenty, wages are high and prices at
the top notch. These are all items
that invariably find place upon the
ledger during prosperous times, and
certainly no one can deny that they
belong there now. But let the Ameri-
can troops in the Philippines sustain a
slight defeat, or let a bank fail in
Kalamazoo, or a tack factory shut
down in Hoboken, or farm mortgage
be foreclosed in Kandiyohi county, and
the Democratic editor puts on his fes-
tival garments, beats loud upon the
tom-tom and exposes his back-teeth in
one expansive smile. Well may the
long-eared jackass be the symbol of
Democracy, it is his nature to kick,
and it is the nature of Democracy to
weep and wall and gnash it's teeth, and
smile only when others see no causeto
smile. 1t has nothing upon which to
feed, except here and there an Incl
dent of misfortune to some local COM
munity or individual; a general crop
failure would be a god-send to it. If
only there was not so much work to-
day and such good wages for doing it,
Democracy might stand show. Per-
haps an epidemic of smallpox might
do something for it, for it would be
sure to blame Mckinley for not main
tanning a better quarantine system.

paper from his neighbour we quote the
following from the Sank Centre Aral-
0nche: - ...:' - :,,,-.. !. e. >.
last spring I purchased OF the ST..
Louis Wrought Iron Range company
one of their ranges for $3.50, and paid
on the same $40 in cash. On Tuesday
the collector came to my place for the
balance of the payment, but the COL
lector wanted 500 in full, as the $40 en-
dorsed on the back of the note at the
time of the purchase had been en-
tirely obliterated My brother,
Maurice, had made a payment of $l2
and Dan. Bradley, one of my neigh
bors, had made a payment OF SIS, and
these sums were endorsed on the back
of the notes they gave the steel range
men, but when they came to see them
on Tuesday there was nothing en-
dOrsed on the back. I want to warn
others of the tricks and dishonesty of
the steel range men.

THE ST. Paul Globe still hugs to its
shriveled bosom the delusion that it
can jimmy into Admiral Dewey's ex-

date for president. The Globe might
as well make up its mind to either sup
port or oppose w. J. Bryan in 1900.
There is only one thing that can pre-
vent the nomination of Bryan, and
that is his death. The Globe knows,
and everybody knows that it knows,
that Bryan is going to be nominated,

and say what it is going to do.
