viii restore Egypt to its pristine glory
as producing nation. The Nile has been

built. The sudd of the upper Nile has
been cut, increasing the flow of water

The development of Egypt is but-one

Africa. From Mambasa, on the Indian
ocean, a railroad is all but complete to
Victoria Nyanza, a distance of $50 miles.

the Indian ocean. The difficulties of this
route were unusual Not only the ma
terial but the laibore-s had TO be I'M
ported, the latter from India. The steel
bridges and viaducts together with the
locomotives came from the United States.
Victoria Nyanza is 40C0 feet above sea
level and the intervening mountains
made it necessary to overcome another
4,COO feet, nevertheless the work will be
accomplished in five years from the be-

the surveys
With this road in operation the traoe
of the Nyanza district win be secured
to the English. AS a natural result Of
British commercial supremacy on the
lake, British influence will become DOM

Germany has footing to the south
AS a strategic measure this Uganla

Britain base of supplies midway be-

No matter what may be cur opinions
of the policy pursued by England in

the consummate ability with which she
is redeeming Egypt and the marvellous

THE RIGHT NAN.

1t is not unlikely that the missing Mr.
Whitehorne will not voluntarily return
until such time as that vacancy can
be lawfully declared in the office of
county commissioner. In the event of
such vacancy being declared it will
become the duty of the majority of the
common council to select member Of
the Democratic party to fill the vacancy.
1t is a matter of the utmost importance
both from the public and the party point
of view that the selection to be made
by the council shall be exceptional in ev-
cry respect. The public of Ramsey coun-
ty has not shred of confidence in the
existing body. Right or wrong the ma
jority of the members Of the board are
regarded as unworthy of the public re-
spect or confidence. Too many scandals
have attached to the body since it's
inception to admit Of it's operations being
regarded with favor.
The only Democratic member of the
board at the. present moment is Mayor
Smith, and he is presiding officer merely
eX-off1cio Whatever criticisms anyone
may choose to pass upon Mr.. Smith. either
personally or officially, there is not one
of his fellow citizens that does not regard
him as the very exempIar of upright
ness in his personal and official relations.
No transaction of a doubtful character
can pass with his approval, or can pass
without his approval if it is in his pow
er to prevent
The Democrats of st. Paul will look
to the council TO select another man Of
this stamp to take the place of Mr.
Whitehorne. 1t is not to be pretended, Of
course, that Democrat is necessarily
any better or more faithful ordinarily
than Republican. Our Republican con-
temporaries try to represent the Globe
as contending otherwise; but they do not
deceive themselves even in offering any
such intimation. But the Democrat in
this case must be such man as that his
superiority, not over anyone or number
of men, but his superiority by general re-
pute, must be universally recognized.
With the aid of such a man, Mayor
Smith could do a great deal which he
cannot now do to put an end to the lack
of all sense of responsibility to the public
which seems now to characterize the
board in its work. Together two fear
less and thoroughly upright Democrats
could change the entire character of the
board and make it's operations as we'll
respected as they are now disregarded by
the community.
1t is not necessary TO refer to the party
advantage of the choice of such man.
The Clio b e prefers to place it on the
ground of public necessity But if the
council fails to act according to the most
profound sense of it's obligations in Sc
lecting Mr.. Whitehornes successor. it
will in the future share the responsibility
in some measure at least, of the future
operations of the board of county COM
missioners.

INSULTS TO Flags.

An idea has found lodgment in the
minds of people VINO do not take time
to think the matter out, that a person
can secure the protection of a nation by
wrapping himself in that nations flag
Thrilling tales are told of the prosecuted
hero, who when the villains are about
to abduct him. or fill his body with cold
lead, folds the Stars and Stripes or the
to do their worst. In every case the
bold, bad man. although armed to the
teeth, recoils before the awful conse-
quences supposed to follow from firing
upon or otherwise rudely treating those
emblems of power These flag episodes
remind one of the dramatic climax reach
ed by Lytton's Richelieu, when he bluffs
the kings messenger who has come for
his ward, by this champion flag speech:
Look where she stands! Around her
form 1 draw the awful circle of our SOL
emn church. Set but foot within That
holy ground and on thy head, yea!
though it wore a crown, I'll launch the
curse of Rome
A few days ago Col. Murillo, a Colon
bian insurgent, was on German steam
er in the harbor of Cartagena, where the
Colombian authorities attempted to ar
rest MIN. Thinking that the officers and
passengers of a. merchantmen are not
subject to the laws of the port where
they happen to be- Murillo refused to be
arrested and having in mind the speech
of RicheIieu, and the flag protection the
DRY, he seized a German flag wrapped it
about his person and def1ed the base
n.inions of Colombian authority to take
him and thereby insult the flag of the
German empire. The Colombian Off
GERS, no doubt having been instructed,
took the dramatic Murillo, unwound the
flag and used it as a carpet to keep the
deck clean. Now what is to be done?
Has the German flag been insulted and
will the mailed fist" of the war lord of
the fatherland be soon seen rising out of
SAAO OelA AODSdH SSet 10 menace the I'M
pudent republic whose citizens and Of
ficers dared to trample upon the emblem
of German power? We think not. Will
lam is no fool and he will say nothing.
1t takes more than the flag to protect an
alien. There must be citizenship and
even that is not enough, though backed
by the flag wrapping business if that
citizen has committed a crime within the
jurisdiction of the country where his ar
rest is sought on merchantmen.
Fugitives from justice on the high seas
are safe under the protecting care OF
the flag under which they sail, but when
they enter the harbor of the country
from which they hail they become SUBJ
ject to its laws.
There was time when England claimed
the right to search American vessels on
the high seas for British subjects, but
that time has passed. England aban-
