The trouble with this story of the
earth exploding is that no theory of es-

The army contractors are opposed to
a general staff at Washington. This
is strong argument in favor of the
staff.

To consider Shakespeare work from

The story is told Of some English
soldiers who, in making plum pud
ding used Portland cement instead of
flour. An American soldier served with
the dish would simply think that it was

it.

WHAT CUBA'S LOSS MEANS TO
SPAIN

The loss Of Cuba means to Spain the
loss Of the very sustenance of the ma
ton. Already her tax-ridden people
are crying for bread. In the same way
the loss OF your once vigorous appe-
tite means poverty and starvation to
your body. If any reader OF this pa
per wishes to be as hungry again as
when a child, and wants to fully enjoy
hearty meals, drink Seattle beer. It
cures Indigestion and dyspepsia. On
tap or in bottles at the Criterion.

PURE
WATER.

If the advice given in those three
words is needed, good health will fol-
low. City water is not good for many
reasons, principally, because it is con-
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter of all descriptions. A simple
analysis shows this to be a fact.

WILL THERE BE DELAY :?

Aside from the discussions of the
Press ON the relations which exist be-
tween the newly acquired territories
and the Federal government, private
correspondence Of value also shows
that the statesmen in Washington, the
captain and the crew of the Ship OF
State are allowing her TO drift just
now, while they take some reckon
ings. Capt. Mckinley is on the bridge
with his telescope, and hand on the
engine bell, and his weather eye open
for shoals. He slows her down."
while his lieutenants, the members OF
the Senate and House are trying to get
the altitude of the tropical sun, which
is just now obscured with clouds. The
throwing of the lead shows some shoal
water, and the men at the lookout see
something that looks like breakers
ahead Some of the democratic crew
shout, Ego ahead" and others of the
crew shout, back her out" while the
navigating officers are studying up the
charts, in the hope that the old salt
Destiny who has piloted so many ships
over strange seas may have traced out
some courses and directions.
This means, We suspect, a hating
in legislation for us.
While we living here, can clearly
see a marked difference between the
condition of Hawaii and that of the
conquered lands, our experience re-
minds us that others residing else
where, including Congressman, have
no such clear understanding of the
facts
Our present peril, little or great as it
may be, is that our own case may be
classed with other territorial cases of
q different kind. While in the end, the
legislation affecting us may be suit
able, and adopted to our needs, Con-
gress seems disposed to take the view
that any legislation regarding these
Islands will be regarded as a prece-
dent for legislation covering the other
new territories. If Congress adopts a
waiting policy regarding Cuba and the
Philippines, it will probably extend
this waiting policy to our affairs. The
application of the principles of self
rule and free ballot must, sooner or
later, involve any territory held by
the nation. 1t would be comparatively
easy to Iegislate for Hawaii, because
Hawaiian laws have been substantial
ay American laws, but only radical
legislation will meet the cases of Cuba
and the Philippines.
But will Congress recognize the wide
distinction between the two cases?
Congressman, as a rule, are ignorant
about our affairs, and the present
danger is that it will lump our inhabi-
tants with those of the Philippines and
Cuba as savages that must be govern
ed by the same rules. At least the
presence of three cases involving to a
limited extent the same facts, that is,
xshe extent to which the inhabitants
may govern themselves, will tend to
keep the final discussion in each case
in allegiance until there is more light
on the subject, and some common
agreement can be reached.

P. Tanner, general freight agent of the

with headquarters in Minneapolis, with
the title of manager of transportation.
Mr. Tanner came to the cities to take
service with the Minneapolis & st. Louis
from the Santa Fe, with which company
he held several positions of trust
Though comparatively a young man,
Mr. Tanner has been in railroad work
from his boyhood. He commenced, like
so many other railroaders, at the foot Of
the ladder; was first a messenger boy in
a telegraph office, then operator, train
dispatcher and so on. When the Chicago
Santa Fe & California-the eastern part
of the Santa F'e system was opened I'M
der that name, Mr.. Tanner became gen
eral superintendent and afterwards re-
signed to take the position of assistant
general freight agent Of the Atchison
system. His experience has been IN both
operating and traffic branches Of rail-
reading, but largely in the transportation
department.
With the new appointment, Mr.. Day
changes the title of the officer. General
superintendent has not been the proper
title, as the St. Louis is organized, he
says, as other departments do not report
to that office Accordingly Mr.. Tanner
will be known as superintendent Of trans
portation
General Freight Agent w. M. Hopkins,
of the st. Louis, is left without general
agent in st. Paul by the new deal and

Charge Discrimination.


Charge Discrimination.
The Albert Lea rate case, which has
been in the hands of the railroad and
warehouse commission for several
months, has developed a new phase, as
a result of an executive session at the
commission offices, in which the Ransom
Bros and other shippers at Albert Lea
conferred with the commissioners and
officials Of the roads interested. The
original complaint has been withdrawn
and an amended petition introduced,
changing the front of the complaints
The amended complaint sets forth that
Ransom Bros. have been unable to agree
with the Milwaukee and Omaha in secur-
ing fair and equitable rate to large
number of points, and that Albert Lea
has been Disseminated against in favor
of Twin City jobbing interests. The COM
plainants therefore petition that they be
given the same rates to points in Omaha
territory as apply to the same points
from the Twin Cities.
Copies of the complaint as amended
were served on the two interested roads
yesterday. In the former complaint the
Albert Lea interests demanded 80 per
cent of the combination of local rates.
