THE DREAM OF RHODES.

Kipling, in the poem he wrote in men,
DRY Of his friend Cecil Rhodes calls him,
a Dreamer devout by visions led, and,
Judging by the account Mr. Stead (who is:
dreamer 7himself) gives of Rhodes most
imposing dream, the characterization of
Kipling is no doubt correct. The outline
Of the Rhodesian philosophy, as cabled
from London, embodies the forming Of an
Anglo-American federation, with a secret
order gradually and covertly absorbing all
the wealth of the world, the order to be
organized on the Ignatius Loyola basis,
and placing England and America ulti-
mately over federation of all the ma
lions with Tennyson's parliament of
man" in control and free trade on top and
enjoying It's millennium.
There is not much difference between
Mr.. Rhodes dream and that of Mr.. Stead
as set forth in Mr.. Steads recent exploit
alton. ''The Americanizationo of the World. =
It is very likely that Mr. Stead absorbed
many of Rhodes ideas. for he.Was former
ly very intimate with him, until Mr..
Rhodes concluded that the Boer ought
to be eliminated as an independent
or even semi independent power from
South Africa, so that he might carry out
his dream Of South African segment
to the British empire. Mr.. Stead and
Rhodes split friendship just on this point,
although Mr.. Stead regards Rhodes as

SUNDAY LABOR.

Labor Commissioner O'Donnell is con-
Quoting a series of very interesting in
vestigations, which are throwing much
light on many interesting subjects per-
tanning to labor in Minnesota. The facts
he has brought out regarding long hours
Of employment tend to show that it is
the store clerk rather than the skilled or
plain of on the score of long hours Of
work. Take the drug clerks. The great
majority of them work more than ten
hours a day and some of them put in
seventeen. Moreover the conditions with
them as to Sunday labor are bad. Out of
2S9 reported only forty zone are free on
Sundays! altogether and 161 work every
Sunday. In several other classes of en-
ployes it has been found that the amount
Of Sunday work is very large.
The modern world has got pretty well
away from the distorted Puritan concep-
tion of the Sabbath, both in theory and
practice. 1t is recognized everywhere
that certain amount of Sunday labor
is necessary. But the tendency is now
more toward too much Sunday work than
too little. The general rule regarding
Sunday work should be that as little be
done as is consistent with public comfort
and welfare and that persons who must
work on that day be relieved from work
on some other day in the week. This is
not always possible, but employers should
keep it in mind as something to be striver
for conscientiously.

chances Of succeeding himself were by no

consolidation which had been tried before
and failed, and which was sure to sue

courage to oppose it. 1t took courage to
oppose it. Opposition to it meant bat
tie with giants. The governor rose to the
emergency and his denomination cannot
be prevented. Efforts have been made
to undermine him but they have failed,
and they have failed simply because the

blunders he made last year in their hearty
approval of a man who had the courage

everybody who can will crowd into it as long
as the circus season lasts. The general idea
is that this interest is the result of. the new
sensation. the running OF the loop the loop
by man on bicycle, startling feat for
the first time performed in public. But the
reason why the people are crazy for the circus
lies deeper than that. The reason is that they
like that form Of amusement the old as we'll
as the young. 1t is probable that a permanent
circus would pay in New York. 1t has been
several times proposed to erect a building
here for that purpose, but for some reason
other it has never been carried into effect
The only criticism that can be made of the
present colossal circus Is that it is too big.
There are too many things doing at one time,
and ones head and eyes are apt toGache in

THE BEGINNINGS OF SELF GOVERN-
MENT.
MENT.

= The house and the senate have not yet
been able to agree upon Philippines
government bill. The senate is wary of
erecting a complete civil government
structure, whereas the house declares for
complete civil government with a popu-
lar assembly constituting the lower house
of the legislature. OF the two measures
the house bill is the better. 1t puts
premium on peace, for it assures the Fill
pinos that when complete pacifcation has
been obtained a general election will be
ordered and the new system of govern
ment, involving partial self government,
will go into effect. " "
The Filipnos seem to be devoted to
home rule, most of them in the extreme
form Of complete independence. They
don't like colonial rule at any rate. The
change from the temporary absolutism
Of the commission to partial self-govern-
ment will please them.
Now is as good time. as any to begin
that government which we have been
promising the Filpinos. If they have the
aDlHly 70 govern tuemselVes ~ any oe
gree the sooner we find it out the better.
On the other hand, it behooves the leading
men among the Filipinos to do their best
to win our good opinion by making sue
cess Of the first step in popular govern
ment. Success in that means farther
step toward autonomy. With the Great
ing of popular assembly, and the arena
it will give for political activity and po-
litical programs, the restless activity OF
the Filipino leaders IS likely to be turned
from the field to the platform, from the
bullet to the ballot. The way will be open
for peaceful leadership. The Filipino who
wishes to accomplish something politically
will not have to take to the woods.

The remission Of the Philippines export
tariff on hemp and other raw material
consigned to the United States raises the
question whether we are keeping the door
of trade in the Philippines as wide open
as we have promised to. So far as the
imports into the Philippines are concerned
the United States is on the same footing
with other nations, but the remission Of
export duties to the United States only

The PRESIDENT AT CHARLESTON

President Roosevelt, in his brusk and
breezy speech at Charleston last night,
showed himself to be an apostle of peace
and prosperity rather than the man on
horseback" who, as Watterson says, is
"slyly peeping out Of the stable yard of
the White House in the person of Theo-
dore Roosevelt" Vain are Watterson's
agonizing shrieks of alarm and his very
t1amboyant warnings to the southern peo-
pie against the president as thinly dis
guised military despot, who is preparing
to Mexicanize the country after the man
ner OF Diaz as soon as the general army
staff bill is passed by congress, when he
will begin to touch buttons and order the
army to break up public meetings and
throttle and defile the goddess of liberty
in her temple. "a' PSI ~ 4

latter years. The president congratulated
them, indeed. on the fact that old South
Carolina has definitely entered upon the
path OF steady progress in things mate
rial. as well as in other things" The
great industrial exposition in Charleston
symbolizes the forward movement of the
new south. 1t represents the spirit of
enterprise and progress which is pervad-
ing all parts of that portion of the coun-
try and which is developing the long-un-
developed resources and reahcing out in
every direction for trade
The president aptly spoke of the in
clusion Of the West Indies in the scope of
the exposition as signifying the faith of
Its projectors in closer relations with
those islands in the future. "Closer re-
lations,' said the president, "for our ad-
vantage can only be secured by making
it for their advantage also" In those
few words he embodied the fundamental
principle Of all permanent and successful
trading. There must be reciprocal ad-
vantage, for a continuously one-sided
trading Is an impossibility. 1t cannot go
on forever. DR.. Wendlandts caustic

A PROSPEROUS STREET RAILWAY.

A PROSPEROUS STREET HALLWAY.
The Twin City Rapid Transit company
is in very prosperous condition. At a
meeting of the directors in New York yes
terday quarterly dividend Of IA per
cent on the common stock was declared
payable May Is.
1t is gratifying to know that this COM
pany is SO prosperous. The size of the
dividend, however, and the degree Of pros
perity indicated by it are calculated to
direct particular attention to the charac-
ter Of the service furnished by this COM
pany to its patrons, and here the oppor-
tunity for congratulation is not so APP
parent.
TIL ournal has indicated the in
sufficiency of that service at different
times during the past winter and has
shown by comparison with the street car
service Of other cities how comparatively
inferior it is. The street railway COM
pany has confessed its inability, to rem
der the service which ought to be pro-
vided by it, and has promised satisfactory
service as soon as its additional power
producing plants can be completed. The
public, with commendable patience, has
accepted these promises of Improvement,
but will certainly hold the company to
| fair and complete fulfilment of them.
The time was when we used to say that
| Minneapolis had as good street car serv-
| ice as could be found anywhere in the
country Statements of that kind are not
now in order. Minneapolis people are
great travellers and they know we'll enough
] that the street car service here does not
compare at all favorably with that in
most other cities having over OO,OO(
population. .
So, while they read with interest and
qualification the reports of the prosperity
| of the company and the declaration 1o'
large dividends on large capitalization
they are getting ready to insist and vii
most certainly require very radical re.
forms and improvements in the service
afforded. They will not be satisfied, fol-
instance, with cars at intervals of fif
teen minutes where they have a right {
expect a seven minute service. 1t vii
make less difference to them whether the
cars are big or little. They will spent
less Of their valuable time standing OF
the street corners waiting for the com
pany to get ready to send a car along
The probabilities are that the compan.
has made a mistake in the construction
of these large cars. They are very hand
some and comfortable, but the question
is whether the company can proftably rul
them as often as the public has right t.
expect cars to be run and as frequentl
as they will, no doubt, insist on havin
) them. That, however. is "a problem TO
the company itself to solve.
