heart, and its lesson is not limited to
any nation, race or cline. 1t voices

greed. There is majestic sweep to
the argument, and some of the lines

To feel the passion of eternity?

verse.
1t is not an answer to the indict-
ment to say that the poet selects his
type not from the middle classes. but
from the lowest level. He is dealing
with the mill which takes in, as raw
material, the man made in the image
of his Creator, and, if it is allowed
to complete its work, turns out as the
finished product
\ thing that grieves not and that
never hopes.
Sometimes it is q tyrant who OPP
presses for the benefit of himself his
family and the warriors upon whom
he relies to enforce his authority:
sometimes it is an aristocracv which
gathers in the fruits of power and
throws upon the masses II, burdens
OF government: sometimes it is a
plutocracy which openly exalts money
and debases flesh and blood: but ev-
efvwhere it is the same brutal spirit
which ignores the brotherhood of man
and violates the commandment;
Thou shalt love thy neignpor as thy
SELF
The extremes of society are being
driven further and further apart.
Wealth is being concentrated in the
hands OF few, and tenacity is on the
increase. AT one end of the scale
luxury and idleness breed effeminacy;
at the other end of the scale want
and restitution breed desperation.

THE PUERTO R1CAN TARIFF.

In the matter Of the Puerto Rican tariff
bill five out of the Minnesota congress-
men appear to have acted upon the false
assumption that their constituents know
nothing and care less about the question
But there will be a rude awakening for
the five who voted to impose a tariff upon
the trade of our new possession. The peo-
pie of Minnesota, irrespective of political
bias, are strongly opposed to the imposi-
ton of any such tariff. They regard
such action as a direct violation of the
constitutions both in letter and spirit, and
a menace to the Union. If the principle
that trade between different parts of the
United States-as between state and state
state and. territory, or state and possess
sion~-is subject to the imposition of Gus
toms duties is affirmed by congress. a
wedge will have been driven which may
some day split the Union asunder
If the federal government has power
to levy tariff on Puerto Rlcan imports
and exports which is different from the
tariff levied for other parts of the United
States, then the constitution Is meaning
less in one of it's most vital features.
Absolute equality In all the states. ter
ritories and possessions of the United
States in the matter of imports is essen
tial to the safety of the Union. and If

KELLEY AND HIS CURE.

The world is not entirely satisfied as
to the permanent good that has been done
by the late founder of the Kelley insti-
tute at Dwight III. There are certain
conclusions regarding the work of Dr.
Kelley, however, which are generally ac-
cepted.
He has proven a benefactor to many
unfortunate men ard women with whom
the Incorporate use of alcoholic drink
had operated in a serious weakening of
the will power. Many estimable persons
who found themselves unable to resist
the craving for strong drink were re-
deemed through the agency Of the treat
ment prescribed by DR.. Kelley and found
in operation in the severaf sanitariums
bearing his name throughout the country
More than all this, however, has the
late DR.. Kelley served his generation
we'll in the general understanding which
he caused to prevail of the truth that the
uncomfortable desire for alcoholic drink
was in the nature of disease, and should
be treated as a disease, rather than
through appeals to emotional feeling so
common in the battle against intemper-
ance
H'the so-called Kelley cure is a specific
against the poison of alcohol, the world
has not accepted it as such. Nor did the
late DR.. Kelley, its inventor, regard 1t
as such discovery as in his judgment
fc no MI oh
posal of those who sought to make use of
it. He chose to regard 1t as primarily
a source of professional income, and the
number of sanitariums which for the time
sprang up all over the country in which
| his discovery was claimed to be in oper-
alton, but which were without his sane
| ton, show that the Industry of curing
alcoholism was very profitable branch
of the medical profession
During the closing years of his life DR..
| Kelley saw the popular faith in his rem
edy seriously shaken. 1t could be regard
| ed as Of little more Importance to hui
manity generally as remedy against
! disease than any of the various forms
| of patent medicines In general use. There
were many who believed it ef1icacious, and
! many others who believed its effect
! upon the human system to be in itself
| essentially deleterious. That the dis
| covery, whatever it may have consisted
in, is now the property of a corporation,
| and is being exploited purely for profit,
may not be said TO rob It's inventor of a
fun measure of credit for the good he has
done through its agency. 1t does. howev-
! er, place its consideration in the domain
! of purely commercial enterprise. And even
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-03-03

The world of American enterprise loves
TO honor greatly the men who have be-
come distinguished as pioneers in the do
main of commerce and industry. No man
finds surer path to the high esteem Of
his fellows in this country than through
the successful pursuit of a commercial
calling In the new and undeveloped sec.
tiGns CT The country. And these men
through whose courage and sagacity the
vast material resources of the American
wilderness Of a few years ago have been
made available to modern society are en-
titled to all the praise that may be be-
slowed on them. Their example has been
fruitful of the most remarkable results
for the general good, and they have most
generally represented a superior type of
the race. who are far above being con-
trolled wholly by considerations of per-
sonal profit in the work they have done
on the outposts of advancing American
civilization
But If we have honor to bestow on such
men, what need of praise and love should
we extend to men like the noble gentle
man who has just brought his career as
a Christian minister to a close In this
city and has gone to the reward which
he 50 signally earned. The late Bishop
Gilbert was possessed Of intellectual pow
ers 50 grand that they are rarely to be
found even among the most distinguished
men I'M tha great cantare oF H. v,,,,,,l,
activity. And these splendid acquire
ments he gave with all the devotion of
true soldier of the cross to the redemp-
ton of the souls of men in regions SO
far removed from the civilized centers
OF his time that he might be said to have
voluntarily suffered Punishment from the
face of his kind in the pursuit of his d.
vine calling.
The entire Western continent has been
reclaimed to civilization. The tremen-
cous work has been done in little more
than generation. 1t has been made DOS
sible only through the sacrifices of
such glorious disciples Of the Founder of
Christianity himself as Bishop Gilbert
very field of labor chosen by such men
affords convincing proof of their great
ness. From the humble and despised
missionary, working at the outset among
the savages and outcasts Of society, the
late Bishop Gilbert evolved into the elo-
quent and influential bishop Of a power
full church, known and respected where
ever men gathered to worship God I'M
der its protection. The evolution was
natural one. Such men as he must in
evitably find their true level, and devo-
ton such as his does not always pass
away without receiving the recognition
that it merits.
The death of no man, however rich or
powerful, will bring with 1t more of true
sorrow to the hearts of the kindly Chris
tian men and women of Minnesota than
will result from the death Of this elo-
quent and jealous pastor.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. JUSTICE.

The case of Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter,
convicted of swindIing the federal govern
nent out of $1,000, 900, has at last been dis
posed of beyond all possibility of having
the penalty imposed on the criminal re-
| moved, save by the exercise of his par
doning power by the president. The Unit
| ed States supreme court has just refused
to interfere with the decree of the mill
tary court which found Carter guilty
This brings to an end case which we'll
illustrates the power of public sentiment.
Carter would at this moment in all hui
man probability be found at some one or
other of his club haunts in the city of
New York enjoying the fruits of his ire
mendous larceny were it not for the
power of public opinion remorselessly
welded through an aroused public press.
The sentence which condemned him to
five years Imprisonment, to pay a fine OF
5000, be dismissed from the army and
have his dismissal published in his home
papers was declared on May IL, 1898, al
most two years ago. OF this time over
one year and three months was consum-
ed IN securing action by the president on
the findings OF the court-martial while
five months of it has been occupied In Sc
curing the formal Endorsement by the
highest court in the country of the &C
ton Of the president in confirming Car
ter's sentence.
Had Carter been an ordinary everyday
government thief, whose operations had
been confined within reasonable limits
he would long since have entered on his
term of Imprisonment. But, having stolen
his million, and being backed by rich and
politically powerful connections, it was
for long time quite doubtful whether
he would ever have served a day in jail
had the press of the country not made
the carrying out OF the decree Of the
court-martial imperative in his case.
1t is gratifying to reflect that justice
has at last overtaken this wealthy and
influential criminal. His conviction in the
first instance was made possible mostly
on account of the high standard of in
dividual honor which prevails among the
men of the army. And the success of
his fellow officers in sending him to the
penitentiary, it should, be remembered, is
in striking contrast to the inaction which
has distinguished the civil authorities in
their treatment of Carter's confederates.
who thus far have been able to utilize
the proceeds of their robberies to prevent
any serious prosecution of themselves.
