trade Competition.
The Austrian view of United States
trade competition is the subject of a re.
cent report of Consul Baehr at Kehl to
the state department DR.. alexander
Peez, a Viennese authority IN political
economy, devoted a recent paper to the
subject, in which ne referred to Amer
lea as Europe most dangerous rival, !"
and said they could not give enough
attention to the United States. at is
not known yet, said DR.. Peez, chow
we will be able to make up for the loss
Of our sugar export to America. The
balance of trade will be still more to
their benefit when they are able to pro
duce enough sugar in Cuba and Porto
Rico to supply their needs This will
probably take them about seven years.
We shall have to make good use of this
time. = Dr.. Peez spoke also of the paper
industry and referred to the past, when
some of the English newspapers were
printed en- Austrian paper. ''Now, " he
added, the United States has wrested
this trade from US and is already sup
plying most of the paper used in Eng
land 2"
Iron, machinery and cottonseed oil
were also mentioned as instances of
American inroads on the European mar
ket. In the course Of his remarks DR..
Peez dwelt upon the wonderful rapidity
with which the Americans, in their
war with Spain, increased and equipped
their navy. In America, be said, the
whole population consists of skilled men
and shrewd merchants, who bring about
the wonderful progress of the country.
He repeated what he has been advocat-
ing for years-that the countries of the
European continent would have to form
a coalition to protect themselves against
outside competition. This plan is also
being discussed in some Of the newspa~
pers in Germany.

GoYernor Raises a Question.

The governor of South Dakota has
raised a question which is likely to give
The president some trouble. he insists
that the South Dakota volunteers now
in the Philippines shall be brought
home and makes the strong point that
the South Dakota men enlisted to fight
Tor humanity against Spain; that the
war with Spain is ended, and that,
therefore, their obligation to the
government is fulfilled. To retain
these men in service against their will,
he says, is a violation of the law by
authority of which they enlisted, and
is unconstitutional. The war with
Spain is of course ended, and it Is
probable that the South Dakota gov
ernor is right in the position that he
takes that the men have complied with
their contracts and are entitled to be
brought back to this country.

Major Sees the Plant.

Fargo Forum: l took a look through
the Tribune office this morning and
"she's a butte" Hoskins has a book
store in the front-the building being a
solid brick, with high basement-on the
corner-entrances from two streets.
Back of "Hosk" is ex-Mayor Leslie's
business Office where he looks after
Tribune decentralization in Chief jew
ell-who has everything cozy and handy.
Back of this withsplendid lights are the
composing and job rooms, and the Mer-
%genthaler. In the basement--high and
we'll lighted are job presses and a splen-
stop-cylinder Potter newspaper press.
In the front is a bindery, while in the
rear is the engine and boiler rooms-and
a gas plant-where the light for the
whole establishment is made to order.
As a tirst-class printing plant-nothing
is seemingly left to be desired-unless it
be already this commodious establish
ment-needs more room. Mr.. Jewell is
certainly to be congratulated upon it's
design and finish and there is no more
active, energetic and accommodating
newspaper man in the state--no more
deserving-and I know all the fraternity
will join me-in wishing him and the
Tribune every success.

SOCIALISM TO HAVE A TRIAL
Mayor Chase of Haverhill,
Mass, Is Sworn In.
HIS POLICY BRIEFLY OUTLINED
Favors Better Wages for Laborcrs, Abol
ishment of the Contract System
and Municipal Ownership.

HAvERH1LL, Mass, Jan. 4.-John G.
Chase, elected OF a socialist platform,
took the oath Of ofiae as mayor of
Haverhill during the day. In his inau-
gural speech MI. Chase assured the
members Of the city government and
the people that "every atom of power'
possessed by the mayor will be s'exer-
cised in the defense and support of the
principles of socialism in so far as they
may be applicable to a municipality"
The mayor recommends a minimum
wage scale Of So per day for laborers,
union wages for mechanics and proposed
a system Of relief for the unemployed.
. Mayor Chase condemned the system
of contracting with the lowest bidder
for city work and said the system
should not be tolerated. He said: Glow
bids mean cheap work, and cheap work
means cheap men, and low wages lower
the standard of citizenship. The city
should perform its own work and fur
nish its own material, giving employ.
ment to it's citizens"
The mayor advocated increased ap-
preparations for educational purposes
and municipal ownership Of the electric
lighting plants and street railways.
