CHARLES A. PILLsBURY.

In the prime of physical vigor and at
the high tide of his business activity
death has summoned Charles A. Pillsbury
to his last account. Many decades earlier
than others identified like Mr.. Pillsbury
With the progress of today have been
called upon to pay the last tribute to
nature, he lays down the burden of his life.
The greatness of his achievements and
the completeness of the work to which
ne gave his life will offer some recon-
pense to those who loved him for his
early and abrupt departure. But the sor-
row with which his death will be made
known will be none the less intense to
all who knew him, not only in business,
but in his character as a genial, lovable
man whose sympathies were ever on the
alert and whose generous nature re-
sponded to every just demand of private
aud public beneficence.
1t is to the lives of such men as the
late Mr.. Pillsbury that Minnesota owes
the early realization of its greatness as
a rich, prosperous, and productive COM
monwealth. But for the genius of such
nen we might yet be struggling i'll the
rear Of the great procession Of American
national progress. While the deceased
gentleman made his home in Minnesota
at a period much later than many other
of cur distinguished men, his acute and
trained intellect, his marvellous business
sagacity and his untiring personal en-
ergy enabled him to achieve more in
comparatively short time than perhaps
any of his contemporaries
The life of Charles A Pillsbury presents
d splendid example of the possibilities of
public and private usefulness which are
within the reach of the leaders of Amer
lean commercial life. He served his state
faithfully and it'll all his transcendent
powers for an extended period in a per-
sonally undesirable official position. AS
state senator the record of his devoted
work is left indelibIy in the political his
tory of the state. While thus ready to
give freely of his time and trained ability
to his fellow citi: ems, in a position where
he thought his usefulness would be most
decisive. he refused persistently political
honors in other and more desirable direc-
tons.
Combined with this devotion to the
political welfare of the state Mr.. Pills
curry showed the superior value of his
citizenship by his being ever foremost in
every undertaking and enterprise which
would enhance the Importance of Min
nesota or add in any degree to the hap
piness or prosperity of its people. The
city of his residence can never succeed
in giving adequate expression to the depth
Of the obligations under which he has
placed its people and it's Public nstitu-
tons. F5ttt&5
Both state and city could ill afford
to lose the services of this valuable
representative of the highest form of
public spirit and local patriotism His
loss will remain inestimable; and all that
is now left to the public he served so
devotedly is to extend to his immediate
family and friends the full need OF it's
profound sympathy in the great affection
which has befalien them

EXIT DREYFUS.

The definite assurance given by the
French government that Capt. Dreyfus
will be pardoped represents a tardy, in
sufficient and not over-creditable recogni-
ton of the national infamy wrought by
its military authorities.
The pardon will be regarded all over
the world outside. of France as. being OF
an offense that was never committed
Those who affixed the brand of crime to
the forehead Of DreYfus knew in their
inmost soul he was innocent It is, how
either civil or military authority; and
while conveying lie in its promulga ton,
is effective in the great end sought by the
sentiment of the civilized world.
The best result of the universal protest
against the second conviction of this I'M
fortunate victim of French military bru-
talism is the demonstration which it Of
fers of the tremendous advance which
the world has made in the great virtue of
religious and race toleration Within a
period of fifty years the wrong done this
man would be dismissed from popular
consideration, it it were considered at all,
since its victim was but a mere Jew.
1t would nave been regarded as a mat
ter with which France alone and the
French people had to do, and it would
have been impossible to secure a mo-
ments attention for it by the people or
the governments of many of the countries
which were so profoundly concerned in
the outcome of the recent court-martial
The American people, at least, will not
lose sight of the fact that the Injustice
sought to be done to Dreyfus is inextri-
CO bly, mixed up with the cause Of royalisn
in France. Militarism and royalism have
been the two great moving forces in Sc
Touring his conviction. France stands
even today, as his prison doors open to
the exit of Dreyfus to liberty, menaced
in its very existence by those with whom
the French masses joined In demanding
the crucifixion of this unoffending Jew
The French republic has been on trial
and it has emerged from the ordeal with
out honor. 1t is now, perhaps, on the
eve of struggle for its very existence

throughout by the French people there
are many who will see the forerunner of
an era of civil turmoil and the possible

TWIST TO A DISPATCH.
Correspondent Makes a Charge
Against a Local Paper.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Under date of Sept. Is, a London dis
patch is published in the daily press Of
this city, giving a summary of letter
recently addressed to a London paper by
Mr.. Michael Davitt, the Irish Nationalist
member of parliament, on the subject of
the condemnation of Dreyfus. In that
letter, among other things, Mr.. Davitt
says that the English sympathy for the
prisoner is entirely due to the fact that
Dreyfus is a rich Jew instead Of poor
one, and to the desire to injure a rival
nation. -
But the Pioneer Press the very paper
that is 50 loud in proclaimfng the impair
TALLY with which the Dreyfus affair has
been presented to the American public
the virtuous Pioneer Press-puts the
matter in an entirety different light 1t
will not do to let the widespread suspi-
cion against England gain ground So
the dispatch is given a twist, and is print
ed as follows; MIR. Davitt says English
sympathy for the prisoner is entirely due
TO the fact that Capt. Dreyfus is a rich
Jew, instead Of a desire to injure a rival
nation
And the trick is played. The English
skirts are cleared. The tremendous agi-
tation which has it's headquarters in Lon
don can continue in the holy name of
justice and humanity, and the crusade
against France and the exposition can go
on as BEFORE a dispatch can be twisted
just as easily as a bordereau.

NOT THE POPULAR VOICE

The distinction is too often lost sight of,
especially by Americans, between the gov
eminent of a given European country and
the people of that country. And yet the
difference is great just in the degree in
which the particular government is not
representative of the peoples wishes and
interests.
Aside from Switzerland, and even in
Guiding France, the government of Eng
land comes nearer the people than any
other in Europe. But there are times
when the British government is clearly
shown in it's policy and purpose to be
utterly out of touch with the English
people. This has been the case, especially
with regard to Irish misgovernment, for
nearly a half century. 1t will not be sur

prising if it Is soon proved to be the case
in the contemplated war upon the Trans
vaal.
Those who are familiar with English So
cial life understand how important a part
that place of popular resort known as the
music hall plays in giving expression to
the national antipathies and the national
prejudices as well as, in a lesser degree,
the national sympathies. 1t is from the
language of "a concert hall song that has
been coined, for instance, the word jim
CO." now in general use both in England
and America.
Yesterdays cable dispatches of the
Globe recited the fact that while the
interest manifested in leading London
music hall in certain pictures treating of
the Dreyfus incident was general, the ap-
peals to the popular enthusiasm made
through the topical songs sung on the
same occasion treating on the contem-
plated Boer war were without effect This
circumstance standing alone might not
be accepted as of any moment whatever,
but, taken in connection with the repeat
ed indications which the British masses
have been giving for many months past
of a feeling of at least Indifference to the
contemplated war. it is a fair test Of pub
lie sentiment on this latter subject among
the British people
Mr. John Morley has openly denounced
the intended war upon the Beers as being
in the highest degree immoral This view
is silently shared in, without doubt, by the
intelligent people of the British Islands.
1t is certainly shared in by the people of
the United States.
1t would be more to the honor of the
British nation and would involve a much
| needed vindication of British character
against the charge of robbery and brute
force. were England to heed the warn
ings of Mr. Morley and learn from the in
difference of the habitues Of the London
music halls the wisdom Of allowing the
people of the South African republic to
work out their own financial and politi-
cal destinies in their own way. Insist
ence by Britain on the claim of suzerain-
ty over the Beers is in plain English moth
ing less than an expressed determination
to rob a young nationality of the liberty
| it has fairly won.

FOR THE SPECULATOR.
What a Farmer Thinks of Overesti-
mating the Crops of the Northv est.

What a Farmer Thinks of Overesti-
mating the Crops of the Northwest.
To the Editor Of the Globe:
The crop situation is as it is, not as
many of the newspapers proclaim it to
be, viz, an average crop. The govern
ment crop report, which, by the way, is
always very conservative, has figured out
that there would be a reserve supply OF
from 60000,0O0 to 100,000,000 bushels Of
wheat on hand the 1st of next July. Be
it remembered that this figuring was done
in June, when the crop prospects in the
Northwest were flattering and rose-color-
ed. Admitting that those very cOnserva-
tive figures were correct is 1t not fact
that more recent developments have en-
tirely Oblitera ted the surplus then ap-
parent? And is it not a fact that it will
tax all reserves to full capacity to supply
the demand until next years crop is
available? Spectators know this to be
fact, and all candid men admit it to
be fact. and yet the price is discour-
agingly low, abnormally low, considering
the situation as 1t is.
When this is thus, what condition Of
crops would assure farmers good prices ?
And some of the newspapers proclaim this
fair average crop Farmers, and farm
ers only, know and know by bitter ex-
perience what an unmitigated falsehood
this is. But it is all done for a purpose,
and the purpose is the interest of the
Spectator. No care for the farmer, the
country merchant, or the Twin City sup
ply house men, all of whose interests are
injured by the culpable conduct of some
Of the newspapers in falsely attempting
to minimize the great crop damage we
have suffered
1t is consolation to know that the
G o e does not class with these cul-
pable newspapers. We have enough of
them. They would throttle the farmers
and every other one of their subscribers,
all in the interest of speculation.
Wheat is averaging from five to fifteen
bushels per acre throughout the whole
Northwest, and this is said to be an
average crop. Bosh. Further comment
is unnecessary. This is all done in the
interest of spectators, who will buy large
quantities of option wheat and then pro-
coed to buy enough of the real stuff to
put wheat up to any price they have a
mind to. But all this will be deferred
until most of the crop is out Of the farm
ers' hands. And thus we suffer that
those who have plenty may wallow in
luxury. At any rate, it is well that the
truth be fully understood, for some may
be able to hold until a better market
prevails. But the conduct of some of the
daily newspapers is objectionable. They
strike at the interest of farmer, merchant
and tradesman. Let US keep track of
them, and retaliate when they strike US
Subscriber.
