tToRAGc0 TRUSTS BATTLE

The cables brought interesting news
from London yesterday when they told
about the thrust and counter-thrust in
the tobacco war, now being waged be-
tween the English trust and the Ameri-
can trust for the domination of the Eto-
bacco business of Great Britain and Ire
land. The Britishers started the present
sensational phase Of the contest by Offer
ing subsidy of $250,OOo to retailers who
would agree to handle their tobaccos only.
The Americans replied with an offer of
a bonus of $1,OO0,O 900 and the profits OF
their business for the next two years to
all retailers who will handle their goods,
nothing being said about excluding: the
goods of the other company.
So far as the reports go it appears that
the English company made a grave mis-
take when it ,resorted to this kind of con-
test, because it is confronted by an an
tagonist that can beat it at its own game,
in point of ability to offer subsidies, anu
is clever enough to take instant advantage
of any opening given. By emitting to at
tempt to gain monopoly through bonuses
the Americans have probably made chit
with the British public on the score of
fair play that will offset the. natural and
laudable national prejudice in favor of a
home product. $780,. ~

ANOTHER FAKE DIES

The ''tontine" diamond scheme seems
to have come to death that is untimely
in the sense that it should have, oc-
Cured Immediately after the birth of
the scheme. AS nearly as we can make
out, the scheme is purely one whereby;
money is taken from certain persons and
distributed, sometimes to them, some.
times to Others and always in large meas
ure to the officers. It appears that the
officers took out last year $4,000 in "divi-
.dends" and $4,000 in salaries-this out
of a business that had no income except
the weekly payments on certificates.
There was NO investment of funds and no
intention of investing them. There real
ly ought to be some sort Of a public or
ganization that would be charged with
nipping such schemes before they reach
the vast proportions of this one, which
took in over million dollars during it's
brief existence. There is no doubt that
Minneapolis has been grievously injured
in it's reputation by this and other get
rich-uuick" schemes that have unfortu-
nately located here, because the city hap
pens to be the commercial center OF the

has gained In the last thirty years and Is
five times as great as the whole present
population Of Manitoba and the North
West Territories. The native Canadians
or other British subjects would be
swamped by such a tide of humanity and
the whole region itsfowed into would be-
come distinctly American and would have
a potent influence in determining the poll
icy of the Dominion. It would probably
lead to the annexation, II not ef the
whole of Canada, of the regions in which
the Americans would predominate. AT
any rate. it would make it certain that
Canada could not easily adopt any sort
of policy inimical to the interests CT the
United States.
It is beyond question that this popula-
ton movement will make for friendly re-
lations between the two countries and the
adoption Of liberal international CONNER
cial policies. It is the true policy of the
United States to shape it's intercourse
with Canada 80 that the new local IN
terests of these immigrants will not be
adversely affected by it, SO that the SEN
timental attachment will be reinforced
by practical one.

Billy Patterson, author, was downtown to

over his table, the picture of girl with a
pair of splendid earnest eyes, thar followed
him wherever he moved within the confines
of his little room. He returned the look for
some moments, the gravity OF his unshaven
countenance melted into a grim smile. Then
he blew kiss to the photograph and drew
from his pocket the remnant Of his revenue.
There were eight coins-a quarter, dime,

THE PRESIDENT AND MILES

It is distressing to observe the preach
between the president and Secretary Root
on the one side and General Miles on the
other, widening and deepening so rapidly.
The people generally have much respect
for the nominal head of the army. He
is q civil war soldier Of distinction, a
brilliant and successful Indian fighter,
who seems ito have had more than his
share of trouble since he became l1euten-
ant general He found that he was the
military head of the army IN name only
the adjutant general being for all practi-
cal purposes such head and so treated
in effect, by the secretaries Of war. On
the other hand, the people believe in the
president; they are profoundly convinced
that he is absolutely honest, and wholly
devoted to duty. They also believe that
ministrator. The question has two. sides,
and it is not hard for those who have
sympathies with all the persons con-
,cerned to see them.
Naturally, the nominal head of the army
wishes to be the actual head, instead of
L1ldt l1S oupCAlo1 S1SiA oSCA CSeAAJ
makes the adjutant general the actual
head. On the other hand, General Miles
does not seem to be able to get along
amicably with any secretary of war; or
any president. Awhile ago the country
was irritated by the presidents reprimand
of the general, and now the crisis is made
acute by the publication Of General Miles
plan, without authorization, for the
pacifcation of the Philippines, and the
generals outspoken opposition to the ex-
ecutive staff system, which does away
with commanding general by rank and
leaves the secretary of war free to make
a captain commanderin-chief, if he
wishes to.
Yet it must be admitted that command
by seniority is really far more irrational
than command by virtue of ability, and
the captain may be better fitted to COM
mand than the general. What we want
in the army is what we have in civil life,
a merit system that will make it possible
to put in command Of the army in time
Of war the best man for the place, even
if we have to take him from the ranks
to-day and make him a major general to-
morrow. II =

BRYAN THE IRRECONCILABLB

I. Colonel Bryan's heated arrangement of
ex-President Cleveland, strewn with such
epithets as traitor "ingrate,',,. political
nonentity," is one of his most amusing
performances on the wabbling cable upon
which he is trying to walk to the White
House over a bottomless, Intervening
chasm. s ~ n. Il
The colonel is evidently nettled over
the free expression of the Mississippi
legislature to the effect that the natural
political alliance of the southern democ-
racy is with the east and not with the
west. This deliberate declaration by the
legislature was accentuated by the most
vigorous cheering and waving of hats and
canes, and the incident is generally re-
garded as. strong Indication that the
most devoted adherents of Bryan in the
past are becoming weary Of Bryan and
what Organism chiefly stands for. This
reputation of Bryan is not confined to
Mississippi. Leading newspapers in the
south give the action of the legislature
Of that state the feartiest Endorsement
They point to the fact that BRYAN has
succeeded Unloading them to defeat twice
and that experience has shown them the
futility and folly of political partnership
with the west, which has been disastrous
to southern interests and to democratic
hopes of success. Says the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal, and it. reflects senti-
ment found in other southern democratic
Journals: w.. ~
II the democratic party will accept the pop
ular Reputation of certain issues as the final
disposal of them. and will concentrate It's bat
teries on the live questions Of the day, 1t will
have no difficulty in rehabilitating itself, It
was great tactical mistake to raise the
bugaboo of imperialism. Experience ought
to have taught the democratic leaders that
war and expansion are the most popular cards
any party can play. Even where a war is
grinding the people into the earth-as is the
case in England-they will support it to the
end, because it is their own country, right
or wrong, against some other people,
The southern democrats have been net
tied ever since, after they consented to
the alliance with populism, the west began
to repudiate the blighting heresies of that
aggregation Of false pretenses, so that In
1898 only thirty-feur democrats were
elected from all the western states and
thirty Of these came from Ohio, Illinois,
Missouri and Indiana, and only one came
from Bryan's own state.
The colonel declares that Cleveland is.
the man who, taken from the east as the
presidential candidate, stood between the
people and reform" and nursed the plu-
tocratic combinations into activity. He
regards Cleveland as the ..Anoient
Mariner" who committed the crime Of
shooting the a1batross and hung it as q
reproachful curse about the neck of

What good will it do for the house of
representatives to sympathize with the
Beers? None at all, and probably much
harm. It is dangerous to adopt resolu-
lions of kind powerless to effectuate the
thought that inspires them. They do not
hit what they are aimed at, and their
recoil is often dangerous. Because a
Canadian Legislative body saw ht9to pass
a resolution Of sympathy with the con-
federates during our civil war, resolu-
ton that wasn't worth as much to the
confederates as a single soldier or a sin
gle cartridge, the entire course of trade
the United States and
Canada was altered by the Americans in
retaliation. A resolution Of sympathy
with the Beers adopted by the house
would do the Beers no good and might
react against us as that Canadian resolu-
tion reacted against Canada.

IMMIGRATION TO CANADA

news articles In T h Journal. YES
Ierday and to-day. raise the interesting,
question: What will be the effect nnon
rhe future political relations of the Unit
ca states and Canada of the tide of i'm
migration that is just beginning to set in
from the States" to the Canadian West I?
1t was said yesterday that American
immigrants do not enter Canada with the.
intention Of becoming British subjects
For that reason they purchase lands, in
stead OF taking homesteads, since to Sc,
cure title by the latter method thew nust
take the oath of allegiance to King Ed.
ward. The immigrant from eastern
Canada, Great Britain or Europe being
already British subject or willing to
become such. is likely to take a home
stead. The result is that the big land
companies, eager to dispose of the lands
as soon as possible. are bidding high for
American settlers.
To-day j. H. Haslam, of Winnipeg, one
OF the largest private land owners in
Canada, says in an interview that unless
the American influx is so large as to over
Whelm the Canadians the slow process of
time and the effect of environment will
lead to naturalization of the American set
tiers and absorption into the general Ca
madam population, regardless of the SEN
timental attachment to the United States
that keeps them from taking homesteads
at first. But if tine thrush of Americans
shall in the next few years he equal to
what it has been into the American north
west in THE last fifteen or twenty years.
Mr.. Has1am says, cit is hard to predict
what will be the outcome, but in any case
there is very little doubt but that what
over the result is, Canada will be the III
innate home Of a great. happy, prosper
pus, free and contented people,"
An immigration movement of the pro-
portions indicated by Mr.. Haslam means
that in the next twenty years nearly
100000 Americans will move into west
ern Canada, which is a much larger num-
Der OF neoole than the whole of Canada
