OPPOSING INFLUX OF CONSUME
TIVES.

TIVES.
In n communication published in the
Minneapolis Tribune, DR.. Thomas j.
Reid, physician locally Well known,
sdeprecates and opposes the proposition
TO establish a sanitarium for consump-
tives upon the reserve desired to be set
aside for a public park in northern
Minnesota
He asks if the people of Minnesota
are ready TO advertise the state as a
Mecca for consumptives and enter the
race with Colorado in trying Ito divert
the stream of coughing, splitting. dying
invalids to our state? The emigration
of invaliis TO Colorado" he adds, has
done it a great injury. This is the tes-
timony of its secular press If we care
for our own consumptives it will be
Iauite enough, without inviting those of

noteworthy fact, that the California
board of health has advised quarantining

lids afflicted with contagious diseases,
WHO have focked to that state for many
years past quite as freely as TO Colo

colorado are also beginning TO agitate

earning capacity sinks below per cent.
Such a rate equals only a rental of s1.50-
per acre on $50 land. The best lands now
bring IS and $3.50, and on per cent
basis this means $500 land.
We do not agree with wv. NJ" on the
difference in prices. He makes it larger
than it is. All the corn shipped from
central Iowa since last spring until
within thirty days has Melted the ship
per 80 cents. How much better has the
Illinois farmer done? Neither do we see
much in the road argument. If there is
any considerable number of miles of
most people, while Iowa mud, as COM
pared with Illinois mud, is joy for
ever.
The gentleman is right as to the rela-
tive rental value. Land that in Illinois
brings IS would bring So here, and If
that is criterion, then land worth 500
there would be worth $50 here, but land
worth $50 here can not be bought for
500 within 100 miles of Chicago.
But the tendency of carrying charges
is steadily downward. Every year Chi-
cago and New York come closer to US,
and the distance between the producer
and consumer lessons. This. with the
constant and never-ending improve
ment in machinery and the rapid prog
ress in intelligent methods every year
makes the producing power of land
| greater, so that, whether you buy it to
trent or to till, the argument is the same.

1t is believed that King Corn will
continue to hold the sceptre this year.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says
that while a portion of the corn crop is

The Great Festival.

Various learned foreign visitors to the
United States, and even some supersensi-
tive natives, have complained that the
Americans are an atrabilious people,
melancholy OF countenance, bashful about
merrym aking and unequal to holidays and
high links. These ungenial congratulations
have had to be abandoned. The Americans
have in fact, the quick imagination
which is touched by great commemorative
patriotic anniversaries, and they have the
good temper and quiet sense Of humor
which make their holidays gay without
hystcria.
How many millions or hundreds OF
thousands OF strangers this town now has
within her gates, the readiest statistician
would swamp his addition table in trying to
enumerate. They are themselves the most
impressive part OF a splendid spectacle.
They have come from all parts OF the coun.
try to see and honor the man who has added
to it new glory and a great domain.
Amid all these decorations, these triumphs
OF American sculptors, these progresses OF
men and ships, and these illuminations, the
thing most wonderful will be the multitudes
and their cheers. This patriotism and
Americanism incarnate is GEORGE DEWEY s
proudest praise.
To round out the holiday. tho Columbia
and Shamrock will compare their shoes OF
swirtness next week. Here, too, patriot
ism enters, but in gentler form. The
eternal instinct Of sport, Of competition
has full play in these races. We want our
boat to be the better, but by the Sixteen to
One feot OF THErrs may the race be hot and

As for the weather, the fms Of Septem-

Civil War to parade In honor OF Dewey san Or
ganization composed OF the survivors OF the
1G5th Regiment and that these old soldiers
will wear. upon this occasion. the same kind OF
full zouave uniform as was worn by their regi-
ment during its three years OF service. The
fact that these veterans are to turn out on Sat-
urday in this picturesque uniform Is to me
wonderful thing. 1t indicates the splendid
esprit that distinguished many ofthe regiments
during the Civil War. and the feeling OF COM
radeship that time seems unable to destroy.
To most OF the spectators the sight OF this
little body OF eray-headed veterans. clad In

will be some observers who will feel moro pro-

Tornado Alarms.

Some towns and farming communities in
the Passaic River Valley, New Jersey, were
visited by tornado on last Sunday Con-
siderable damage was done to buildings
and felt mill at Browertown was wrecked.
Many imagine that tornadoes are confined
almost wholly to our large prairie States.
but the Eastern States really have their
proportion Of them. The tornado statis-
tics which the Weather Bureau has
gathered for twenty years show that Kan
sas, Iowa and some other Western States
have each been the scene Of more tornadoes
than any Eastern State but some OF
tho so-called tornado States" are each
larger than the whole OF New England,
and, area for area, the East has had it's fair
share The last number OF the Monthly
Weather Review says that the chance of
injuries from tornadoes Is just as great In
the East as in the West
The large Western States have suffered
unjustly from the use popular writer's have
made OF tornado statistics. Many persons
have been deferred from settling in them
on account OF the alleged dangers. These
States have been injured more by this evil
reputation than by tornadoes. Our weather
authorities assure the country that no more
destruction Ia done by tornadoes than by
lightning, high Winds hailstorms, droughts
and floods.

when they seemed to have ground for
hope. Yet, when the future historian shall
trace to its causes the outcome OF the Civil
War, he will say that the knell OF secession
was rung when tho great seaport OF New
Orleans surrendered to FARRAGUT's feet.
In the same small but supereminent class
OF epochal naval battles belongs DEwEYs
victory at Cavit6. Overlooking. for u
moment, its results, let us pause to COM
pare the conditions OF the engagement with
those which NELSON encountered at Abou-
kir. The French fleet under VInLENEUvE
was anchored at Aboukir. and 80 were the
Spaniards under MoNToJo at Manila.
The distance to be traversed by Nell
SON from the open sea to the French
feet was trifling. He had no channels
to thread, no entrance forts to pass, no
mines to fear. DEWEY had to steam
through wide channel on each side Of
which were powerful forts equipped with
modern guns, In order to enter the Bay Of
Manila. Even then, he had sixteen miles to
cover before he came opposite Cavite. while
from the information received, he expected
mines to be all about him, and two did
actually explode In his near n eighborhood.
that OF his opponent, while the Spaniards,
in respect OF vessels, outnumbered DEWEY,
and had 1895 men against the Ameri-
can 1878 engaged In action. A far moro
vital difference was this, that, while
NELSON at Abouklr had only the French
fleet to deal with, the Spaniards at Manila
we're supported by strongly manned shore
batteries, mounted with modern rifles, some
Of very large calibre. This fact, too often
lost sight Of, made the odds potentially
against DEWEY, even after the two mines
had exploded without inflicting injury.
Both DEWEY and NELSON hunted down the
enemy, and engaged them at anchor where
they found them. NELSON. however, did
not succeed in destroying the whole French
fleet. for VILLENEuvE escaped tho next
morning with two ships Of the line and two
frigates, and there was only one English
vessel in condition to follow them. DEWEY
annihlated every Spanish warship to-
gether with the transport Mlndanao. and
captured the other transport, the Manila.
He silenced all the land batteries and took
the fortified naval station at Cavite. FL
nally, the Spaniards admitted loss OF 1874
killed and wounded in the ships and forts,
while not a single American was killed. Is
it not Englands greatest poet who declares
that "the victory is twice itself, when the
achiever brings full numbers home"r
1t was, however, as We have said, their
far-reaohing and lasting consequences by
which the two battles here compared are
rendered especially illustrious upon the
page OF history. Great occasions come
but rarely; the seal Of permanent great.
ness is affixed upon the men who seize
them. We know the eagle by the eagles
soar. 1t was not only the fleet under
Admiral MoNToJo, but the Spanish EN-
pire in the East. which crumbled before
DEwEY's guns. and was by him delivered
as a possession forever to his country
That is why the victory at Cavite must
rank among the great battles Of the
world

The Geographical Congress.

Many of the most eminent geographers
met at Berlin yesterday to attend the
Seventh International Geographical Con-
gress. At these meetings, which are held
every four or five years. to discuss the lead
ing questions OF geographical interest,
the printed proceedings always fill large
volume and are valuable addition to
geographical literature.
The present occasion will be the first time
French savants have been sent as delegates
to scientific assemblage In Germany since
the war with that country. AT the London
Congress in 1895 the French geographers
declared that they would attend the Berlin
meeting in 1899. That was the beginning
OF the movement, in which those warning
countries have participated, for the i'm.
provement OF their social relations, one of
the greatest results OF which will be the
appearance Of hundreds Of German exhibit
tors at the Paris Exposition next year.
Antarctic exploration will be prominent
topic at Berlin. This Is the only field In
which great discoveries arc still to be
made, and 80 it has to-day a peculiar prom
inence. There being no more continents to
conquer, geographic research is taking new
directions, as the programme OF this
Congress illustrates. That will give
much attention to cartography the COM
paratlvely new branches Of physiography
and cosmology, the very practical topics
of industrial and commercial geography
and the spelling of geographic place names.
In other words, the whole world hav-
ing been studied in its broader features,
the era of detailed, thorough and conse-
quently more scientific research has begun
and in the course OF time we shall have
more exact knowledge and better maps OF
all parts OF the earth's surface.
