THE PRICE OF IMPERIAL1sm.

''We have fed our seas for a thousand
years, and she halls us still unfed." = = IF
this be the price of admiralty great Godl
we have paid it in full" Thus says Kip
ling of the Price of British admiralty.
Beneath the waves of every sea lie the
bones of the British sailors; beneath the
suns of every cline bleach the bones of
English soldiers. 1t is the price that the
a fearful price, but the contract has been
undertaken-the hand has been laid to the
plow and there is no turning back
Life is not the only price Britain pays
for national supremacy To oppose the
dominance of France under Napoleon and
to hold her footing in India a century ago.
England spent $4,OOOOO0,OOO and drained
the cup Of her vigorous manhood to the
very dregs. To maintain the balance Of
power on the continent by thwarting the
ambitions of Russia England joined with
the Turk and spent 1886, 100000 in the Crl
mean war. 1t took $500, OOOO 900 and seven
years of fighting to learn the lesson taught
by the American Revolution. The wars
with France in the carly part of the
eighteenth century over territory, cost
the island kingdom a cold $1,000, 900 coo.
She has spent $2OOO,OGO,OO in Asia, Africa
and China in recent operations, not in
Guiding those of the last two years. The
Boer war has cost up to date SITS, 900 900,
and will double that amount unless a
peace can be patched up soon.
For the last 200 years England has ex-
pended in round figures $4,000, OOOO 900 for
empire. Not counting the cost of the
dead, we may well ask, has it been a pay
ing investment? Much of this blood and
treasure has been spent maintaining the
white mans burden" Some has been
spent in self-defense, but more to main
tain British pride
To this the British nation seems. recon-
eiled. Nothing is too great to sacrifice to
maintain the national honor or the ma
tional prestige. We can but admire Brit
ish pluck-the logged determination to
keep the Union Jack at the masthead.
Disaster may follow disaster. but there is
no swerving from the path pointed out.
I'VE must feed our seas for a thousand
years,
For that is our doom and pride,
AS II was when they sailed with the
Golden Hind.
Or the wreck that struck last tide:
Or the wreck that lies on the spoutine
reef,
Where the CHASTITY blue lights flare:
If blood be the price of admiralty.
Good God, We have paid it fair"
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-07-18

Many lover of the beautiful in St.
Paul Is made to all but weep as he so
often sees the boulevards made to suf-
fer by the acts of careless and thought
less people who ruthlessly destroy them
by using them as though they were SIDE
walks or romping grounds.
Alderman Schiffmann has introduced
into the council an ordinance for the
preservation of the boulevards, provid ng
that it shall be a misdemeanor to travel
on the so6ded boulevards, to cross them,
to deface, cut or destroy trees within the
boulevard lines, except with the permis-
sion of the commissioner Of public
works. Infractions of the ordinance are
made punishable by a fine of not less
than IS nor more than 500, or imprison-
ment in the workhouse for not less than
five nor more than ninety days. Perhaps
the minimum penalty proposed is rather
heavy, and should be reduced, but there
is crying necessity for such an ordi-
nance, and Aid. Schiffmann will have
the hearty support of hundreds of house
holders who have tried in vain to en-
nance the beauty of their homes, and,
incidentally, the neighborhood and whole
city, by making and keeping up nice
boulevards. By all means let's have
an ordinance that will encourage the
making of boulevards by protecting them
after being made

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

The enforcement of the smoke ordi-
nance has occupied public attention at
intervals in this city for fifteen or twenty
years. Despite all the prosecutions at
tempted against those who operate plants
of one kind or other in the business dis
tricts of the city requiring the extensive
use of coal, the smoke issuing from the
chimnies of such concerns represents, in
many instances, a public nuisance. No
remedy has been found, or, if one has
been found, it has never been enforced.
The use of bituminous coal in such
places will always produce smoke in large
quantities. AS long as that kind of fuel
is used much smoke will be produced.
More perfect combustion. the use Of
anthracite coal or the successful applica-
ton of a understanding device can
alone furnish relief.
Mayor Smiths proposal to have the DO
lice board appoint a special officer charg-
ed with the supervision of the smoke pro-
ducing plants within the city is a good
one, 1t is certainly worthy of trial. Tt
is well understood that bad firing pro-
duces most of the difficulty. The quality
