On, Let 'Er Hiss, Dear Sun!

Twenty nine traitors" is the tenn
perate Characterization Of the senators
who voted against the peace treaty
by the wrathful editor Of the New
York Sun.

Won't the metropolitan editor kindly
excuse us, an humble unit in this ag-
gregation Of Americans, from partici-

wonder at its sudden lapse from san

But the Sun has lapsed before, as,
for instance, when the elder Bartlett

Lord Bcresford and the "Open
Door,

Lord Charles Beresford, admiral Of
the British navy. arrived in San Fran
cisco last Friday from China and ia
pan. By reason of his high social rank
and official position, his broad views of
craftsmanship and his particularly
strong friendship for the United States
(where he was sensible enough to- Sc
cure wife), his views in regard to
American interests in the Orient are
especially worthy of respect
Lord Beresford is an intelligent as
we'll as a strongly influential advocate
of the open door" policy in the appli-
cation Of the term to the trade of the
great commercial nations of the world
with China; and he has, in terse Ian
guage, easily understood by any one,
given his reasons therefor, and these
are unqualifedly in favor of the high
est consideration being permitted to
the United States in this connection.
sources of the Chinese empire, but is
plainly not in favor of It's partition and
division among the commercial powers
of Europe. He recognized, in the first
instance, the necessity to China of a
revenue. This he demonstrates can be
provided by the development of the
imperial resources by means Of con-
cessions to the several powers
One Of the plans proposed is charac-
teriZed "the spheres of influence pol
ICY" which carries its meaning on it's
face. Lord Beresford plainly says that,
if this policy should be adopted. Rus
sia would become allpowerful in the
North, France in the South, while
England, of course, cannot get every
thing" and Germany will get what
she can" In such circumstances the
United States would get nothing He
foresees great possibilities for Ameri-
can commerce with Asia-some time in
the future, however-greater even than
for Great Britain, but this must be an
element of fostering and growth He
maintains that this would be more
quickly and surely realized by means
of the open door, policy, and he
doubtless reasons correctly and on the
theory that if the spheres of influence
policy" should be determined upon,
Russia and France would establish
preferential tariffs in the sections DOM
mated by them. although he does not
admit that England and Germany
would fail to do likewise.
1t is apparent that Lord Beresford
is much in earnest in his mission, and
in that particular branch of it bearing
upon the enlarged trade relations be-
tween his own country and China He
comes to the United States from the
Orient for the purpose of meeting
boards of trade and commercial bodies
here, and will pursue his journey to
Chicago, New York and Washington,
developing the sentiment of our COM
mercial centers on the way. He is
doubtless possessed of much valuable
knowledge upon all subjects having
reference to the Asiatic trade and will
unquestionably receive a warm well

place where the spirit of commercial

The Law supplement- Fight.

There is great fight on over the printing
of the Minnesota law supplements for the
newspapers. Heretofore, for a number of
years at least, the work has been done by
the Pioneer Press company, at a price which
some Of the country publishers thought to be
but little short of robbery In consequence,
committee was appointed this year to see If
better terms could not be secured. Arrange
ments were made with the St. Paul Dispatch,
on the basis of 60 per cent of the orders, for
rate of just one-half what the Pioneer Press
had charged last year. Now the latter outfit
and in a circular just Issued, promises to fur
nish the supplements at discount of 10 per
cent from any price named by any other Arm.
This is easily confession of the robbery
practiced in former years.-Aitkin Age (Rcp.).

The cold weather of the past week has been
the means OF causing a general dulIness in
jobbing lines. Some lines have he'd about

but in the majority Of cases business has
been quite little below the previous week
The lines that have shown an increase are
those that do a large winter business and
the cold days have served to stimulate trade
DRY GOODS.
The past week has been a dull one in so
far as new orders are concerned The cold
weather has made it difficult for travelling

however, so that current sales are heavy and

Cotton goods continue to advance. Both

owing to the fact that manufacturers are rot

Business has been very quiet during the
past few days. The cold weather has brought
out but few orders for heavy goods, and there

Prices are steady. but an advance is looked

HATS, GLOVES AND FURS.
Business during the past week has been

by the cold snap, which has apparently caught

ago. Collections are very satisfactory
HARDWARE
Cold weather is detrimental to the hardware
trade and the tendency Of the mercury to
stay below zero the past few days has made
business dull. All kinds of iron goods con-
