ADAPTABILITY

One of the gratifying facts about socia1
progress is the comparative ease with
which people adapt themselves to chang
ing conditions. A few years ago the in
PRODUCTION Of successful type-settfne
machines threw thousands OF cana bic
printers out of employment. For a time
especially as much OF the displacement
occurred simultaneously with general in
dustrial depression, there was much suf-
fering and Encouragement among the dis
placed. But now. 50 completely have
they been absorbed in other occupations
that there IS said to be a scarcity OF good
printers of the hand setting class de-
ntanded in job offices. Between the diver
sion of the old hands to newer occupa
lions and the reluctance to enter the
trade, which is the natural consequence
of the displacement of so many men few
years ago, the number of typesetters is
small. While some of those who had to
change their occupations may, on account
of advanced years or lack of average
adaptattlity, not now be doing SO we'll as
they were before they had to change
many are doing much better MANY 81

pations that have given them better In

GENERAL LEGISLATION,

tt he Journal publishes to-day a
of the legislature, and hence little com
ment upon it's direct legislation is re-
quired on this page -:
The only piece of important direct tax
legislation adopted by the legislature was
the Anderson bill enacting the real
estate, delinquent tax-collection reforms
proposed by the tax commission. It is
agreed that this is positive and consid-
cradle reform, and that it tends towards
simplicity and the eliminat ion Of delay and
uncertainty. Its provisions were well
summarized in yesterdays 0 urna i.
AS it has turned out it was we'll thatthe
original program of none but tax legisla-
ton was not followed. The extra session
has given US some much needed curative
legislation, such as extending the powers
of the public examiner over to the state
ments of railroad companies as to their
earnings, and the appropriation of 81, 500
to enable the bank examiner to continue
the work of his Office. Other good deeds
were the appropria tion of $4,000 for the
st. Louis exposition, of $4,000 for the
prosecution of the merger. The legisla-
lures acts bearing directly on Minneapo-
lis include the most commendable act
putting the sheriff on. salary, the au-
thorization of waterworks and park bonds
and the valuation Of $3.50, 900 of improve
ment bonds

ONCE AGAIN THE Beers

Once again the Beers command our at
tention. BY defeating some 1900 British
troops commanded by no less an officer
than Lord Methuen, they have conclu-
sively proved that the war in South Africa
is not over. The fact that Methuen has
been captured and held adds to the force
Of the reminder and also to the humilia-
ton of the British defeat The British
loss was very serious, the killed and
wounded being numerous, not to mention
the loss of four guns, pom-pom and a
large quantity Of baggage. With the ex-
ception Of the mounted infantry, who fled,
the Beers captured all they did not kill.
but, as usual, they have released most
of their prisoners.
Taken in connection with the similar
victory by the same brilliant Delarey,
about two weeks ago, the Beers seem to
be teaching us another lesson in modern
warfare. At the beginning Of the war, at
Magersfontein and Colenso and Spion Kop,
they taught that troops in close forma-
tion could not rush Well-placed men
armed with modern small arms and sup
ported by little modern artillery. In
Delarey's last two engagements they have
taught us that in open formation auda-
cious troops composed of such superb indi-
vidual fighting units as the Boer forces
are can rush, dispense and defeat in hand
to-hand fighting an equal body of an
enemy, well armed and we'll supplied with
artillery.
The victory over Methuen adds empha-
sis. to previous statements that the
Beers, in their determination to fight to
the last and in their ability to inf1ict,
even in the last throes Of national death
agony, wounds that the conquerors will
long remember, are type by themselves.
Their persistence is much superior to that
Of our revolutionary forefathers, and If
France or Germany were SO nearly on a
par with England as a sea power, as
France was with England when she came
to our help, there can be no doubt that
the Beers would even now be saved by
Intervention. Certainly ii people
ever won a. title to assistance by helping
themselves. the Beers have won it. Right
or wrong, no man, not even Briton, can
see such an indomitable people going to
destruction without paying some tribute
to their valor and resolution.

THE PRINCE DEPARTS

The Deutschland is now bearing Prince
Henry of Prussia back to his fatherland,
The prince has made very favorable i'm
preston upon the American people, ex-
cepting, of course, the socialists and GER
tain public men who had the very bad
taste to apply abusive epithets to the
guest of the nation. On the whole, 1t is
a matter of national congratulation that
the prince escaped the. bullet Of an as
sassin and that personal abuse was mar
rowed down to comparatively small di-
mansions. The prince, indeed, showed
himself "a jolly good fellow" and rather
reveled in democratic familiarities and
in wholesome badinage and INDUCED in
banalities which defed the imperial pro-
prieties Of language. AS a public speaker
the prince does not count for much. Most
any freshman in our universities could
distance him in a banquet speech. But
he is candid and ingenious and makes no
pretensions to be what he is not.
There have been unverifable state
ments about some mysterious secret mis-
sion which the prince had to perform.
Some of the so-called anti-imperialist
journals were sure that our administra-
tion at washington was In secret COM
munication with the prince as the special
agent of his brother, the emperor, to be-
tray the republic into a secret alliance
with Germany. The fact that the prince
was entertained at the White House was
convincing proof to them that their fears
were verified. It has not been disclosed
where this dreadful conspiracy was
Matched, for the prince really had no time
or privacy to carry on secret negotiations.
He was too much i'll evidence and was
the most conspicuous individual in the
country for about three weeks.
The visit has had good results, coming
at time when many millions of the
German people have been led by certain
interests in Germany to believe that
Americans, next to the English, are their
worst enemies. Even the agrarians are
moderating their abuse of us as obtruding
our farm products too sedulously upon
their home preserves, and the manufacture
ing Interests, jealous of our far-reaching
trading energy, feel less of their asperity
when they contemplate the effervescent

The Ldllfputians In 'The Merry
Trampso at the BijOu.

The original Lilliputians are at the Bijou
this week in their spectacular farcical COM
edy, "fThe Merry Tramps.'' The entertain
ment is we'll calculated to amuse little chill
dren and grown -ups as well, for the midgets
are still funny Notwithstanding the fact that
the personnel of the company has changed
considerably since its last visit to Minneapolis.
In addition to the Li1liputians, the COM
Gpany includes a number of Brobdignagians,
and a life-szed chorus. The contrast between
the mid dwarfs and giants is utilized effec-
lively throughout the show, and is the cause
of much laughter '"The Merry Tramps'' has
not been changed materially since last sea-
son, except by tie Introduction OF new songs.
The groundwork is still the same. The mu-
steal numbers, however, are new, ana lney
are an improvement.
The scene of the first asst is a street in New
York; Of the second, Rector's restaurant, and
of the third, the haunted castle. This last
concludes with transformation scene OF the
polar regions. The specialties are mostly
good. Little Annie Nelson sings The Duchess
of Central Park and sings 1t well. Another
Rogers Brothers number on the program is
when Reuben Comes to Town. by James
E. Rosen, Louis Merkle, Della Ranney and
Mae Powers Major James P. Doyle sings
-"How Do They Know that I'm Irish?" and
is compelled to respond to numerous encores;

panied by the full company. The inevitable
double sextet, after the fashion popularized
by "Florodora," is in evidence; and an ef-
fective medley finale has been arranged for
the second act.
Altogether the performance is distinctly
rneritorious, and the Lilliputians. who have
always been popular mere, are evidently Que
to have big week.

with 245 per cent March 1, 1901, 30 per

comes than they could have hoped
make In the old trade.

The idea OF pensioning old and faith
full employees has passed beyond the rail-
roads. The Metropolitan Street Railway
company, the first corporation Of the kind
toadoptit, announces that a plan has been
prepared that will become operative July
l. All employees between the ages Of 65
and 20, who have been employed for tWen-
ty-fve years, will be eligible for volun-
tary retirement on a pension equal to 40
per cent of their average wages for the
last ten years of service. Here is a hint
for the Twin City Rapid Transit company.
The past few years have brought this
company great prosperity. Earnings have
increased materially. Could not the
company afford to carry the burden Of a
pension system as well as the New York
company can, and would not the same adj
vantages accrue to them that the Metro
politan company's management expects to
realize?

At noon Miss Miffetts came to the switch

sweetly. Tommy looked up. He took her all

Brown, Joseph H. Brown gives the remainder
of his estate to his youngest son, Elliott

cutting off his widow, Ellen D. Brown, and
four other children. This he explains in this
paragraph:

reputation that was international. The

in the succeeding years and to the very
day OF his death he was looked upon by
financiers as the one man to whom they
could turn for advice and assistance in
times OF unusual disturbance. 1t was Mr.
