MR. BRYAN'S GHOST.

MT. Bryan does not drink strong liquor; we have never heard of him using opium or hasheesh, but he has moral jim-jams, nevertheless. He seems too, to have become an intellee- tual sonambulist-wal with wide open eyes that see not, and follows the beckoning of ghosts in the air and is careless of the Instructions in his path.
 His special ghost now is Imperial ism and he pictures our country as having embarked upon a career of conquest which is as cruel as it is un- just, and which unless speedily ar rested means the destruction of our own liberties, and the turning back of the wheels of enlightenment and progress for thousand years. He likens the case in hand to the pursuit of Pharoah after the Israelites to Belshazzar's feast; to Abderrahma Northern conquest; to Napoleon's dream that he was a child of des- tiny; to George IT., and the only at tractive feature of his creed is they are displayed in weaving ancient le- gends and facts into argument which he can set up as political scarecrow, to beguile the hearts of those who would rather see their country perish than see it progress under any save democratic rule and who could not to save their lives tell why they are democrats, except that it is the opposite of republican doc Urine.
 Was It Pharoah's purpose to take the Israelites back and give them all the liberty that all the Egyptians en- joyed7 When old Abderraham started north was he thinking of gar rying safety to the people of north ern Europe and of building school houses for the children?
 No matter what Napoleon dream was cannot MT. Bryan see that he was indeed child of destiny, that hIs mission was to quicken in the soul of Europe the germs which when grown would thresh out a thousand old superstitions, break the tyranny of kings, and in effect eman- cipate millions of people from the thraldom of old tyrannies and cruel ties?
 He forgets that when he babbles about George III. that he in fact compares the men of 1776 with the murderors Moros of the Philippines. He tells of "a colonial policy" and forgets that Louisiana was able at least to assume her honored place in the sisterhood of states through just such a colonial policy.
 People weary after awhile of re- formers who have no creed except opposition to some other creed. The men of the United States are not afraid of imperialism. They know our country is the most imperial of all the lands of the earth and are satisfied because every citizen is a sovereign.
 MT. Bryan's idea that the constitu- tion has been violated reveals, if be is honest, that he is but poor consti-

While he is resting" he is receiving the more prominent men in political life, rendering the more important decis- ions in executive matters and prepar- ing large number of speeches to be delivered on his fall trip-a fair sum- mer's work for the ordinary man.

The great oil fire in Louisiana was snuffed out by the application of tremendous cloud of steam directed at high pressure from nine boilers. An exchange suggests that a similar experiment might be tried on Mont Pelee and on the anarchist confer ences at Paterson, N. J. There is no question of its efficacy in the latter instance.

Shaw became secretary of the treasury there was an employe on the rolls whose duties were so varied and multitudinous that he was regarded as indispensable, notwith standing the fact that he went on frequent sprees.

every ten minutes.

He's Acquitted on the Charge Of
Disorderly Conduct
AND is COMMENDED B THE COURT
He Will Now Proceed With the
. Work He Started Monday ~:
Night.

Judge Holt, In police court yesterday
afternoon, dismissed the disorderly con-
duct case against Police Captain "Coffee
John Fitchette. What Is more, he COM
mended Fitchette for the stand he took
in making On effort to drive disreputable
women out Of saloons; and when proceed
ings were finished the doughty captain
stated emphatically that he should not
abandon his course, but would continue
until the instructions of the mayor had
been carried out, whether Acting Super
intendent of Police Hill and Captain
Krumweide liked it or not. John Is
jubilant over his acquittal, and he prom
ises to make things rather uncomfortable
for the regnant police powers before ne
gets through with them.
Robert HILL a newspaper man, followed
Inspector Williams upon the stand yester-
day afternoon. He had accompanied Cap
tain Fitchette on his tour through the
disorderly resorts, Monday evening; and
he told what had occurred. He said
Fitchette has ordered all women he found
in the resol is to leave at once and had
warned them not to return. Regarding
the melee in the Columbia theater-s saloon,
he said he had seen Fitchette strike at
an old soldier named Logue, but could not
say whether or not the blow landed.
Edwin NJ. Conner, another reporter,
who was also a member of the captain
party, corroborated Mr.. Hill. He tes-
titled that Louge wae drunk, and was not
responsible for what he did. Louge him
self, called to the stand, admitted that
Conner was right. He said he couldn't
remember much that had happened, but
was positive that Fitchette had - not
struck him, although he thought the cap
tain had probably struck at him. He
evidently regarded the affair as a huge
joke and created much amusement by his
answers to inquiries. AT the conclusion
of his testimony Attorney Freeman p.
Lane moved to dismiss and the court
granted the motion.

c. Dickelman Attributes Germanys'
Progress to the Emperor.
THE COUNTRY IS PROSPECTING
Prospective Big Crops Will Reduce
Grain Imports From the
United States.

G.. Dickelman of Hamburg, Germany, was
on change this morning. Herr Dickelman
is the representative of large German
grain house and comes to Minneapolis as
matter of business. Germany will
probably import $4,000, 900 to 100000
bushels of wheat this next season, in the
opinion of Herr Dickelman, and he dies
not believe that more than this quantity
will be needed to meet German require
ments.
When Herr Dickelman left Germany the
whole country was enjoying great pros
perity and the hopefulness based on the
expectation of a bountiful year in agricul-
ture. Not for years has the outlook on
the whole been so good In Germany. In
a way this is true of all Europe where
crop conditions this year have been good,
but the fatherland seems to have been
especially favored. r..
About Oct. /, last, Germany began to
shake off the effect of the crisis that she
had ben through. The failure of the
gigantic grain-drying scheme, involving
the ruination Of a dozen banks, was a
staggering blow to industrial enterprise,
but the country went through 1t and now
everything is on the UP turn. With this
comes the promise of heavy yields of
wheat, rye and potatoes, the great German
agricultural staples. This will mean
prosperity and plenty for the lower class
es, who have suffered severely under the
depression.
Germany said Herr Dickelman, "is
directed to-day by the strongest per-
sonality in Europe. I mean Emperor
William. Whatever may be mans po-
litical belief in your country, there car
not fail to be admiration for a character
representing strength, aggressiveness and
the desire to improve, to investigate and
adopt new ideas And all these are char
acteristics of our William have heard
an American speak of him as the great
commercial emperor This is an
original way of expressing it, but it con-
veys the idea. Germany will not only
maintain her commercial position in the
world, but in the next decade will advance
her position. It is the policy of the mer-
chants, the hope Of her statesmen, the
desire of the emperor that Germany shall
gain new position for. herself in the
commercial world, and she is advancing
every day." -.
