WEST POINTS CENTENNIAL

A notable event thissmonth will be the
celebration of the centennial OF the
West Point Military Academy The
school was really organized under the
act of March Is. 1902, with Major Jona-
than Williams as the first superintend-
emit, but it did not go into operation until
the middle of June. -. 49,. ..
The school has had an illustrious ex-
istence and has turned out some of the
most brilliant army officers in the world.
It had, also, the painful experience of
seeing. al considerable number Of Its
graduates resigning their commissions
and taking part in a revolt against the
government which had nurtured them IN
military science, giving the best results
Of their training and experience to the
Confederate cause.
This nation began early to take action
looking to the establishment Of na-
Itional school for military instruction. In
the very year Of the declaration Of inde-
pendence, on Sept. 20. ITS. the con-
tinental congress passed q resolution ap-
pointing committee to go to army head
quarters ana inquire lnto IFS cOnQlClOn
and needs. This committee. consisting
of Messrs. Sherman, Gerry and Lewis,
while with the army received from Col
onel Henry Knox several suggestions,
among which was one advising the .foun-
dation OF military school where the
whole theory and practice Of gunnery
should be taught.

The coal miners strike affords another
illustration Of how resort to violence
forfeits sympathy where 1t might other
wise be bestowed. The Pennsylvania coal
miners have probably had the sympathy
of the general public in their strike. The
coal operators constitute a great monopoly
which has extorted exorbitant prices, and
the public has no sympathy to waste
In that direction. Furthermore, the min
ers were willing to submit their case to
arbitration while their employers were
unwilling. But when the striking miners
or their sympathizers indulge in violence,
either destroying property or attacking
other Workmen who may not see fit to
join the strike, or who may be willing
to take the place of the strikers, they
speedily lose the sympat ny of the public,
and with public sympathy gone they are
deprived of one of their most valuable
weapons of warfare. Hence the earnest
ness with which President Mitchell seeks
to impress upon the miners. members of
his organization, the necessity of abst ain
ing from all acts of violence. Public SEN
timent will not yield on that point. It
comedies readily the right to strike, but
1t will never concede the right to commit
acts OF lawless violence and cruelty.

THE MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE

An Acrostic.
The chance flung favorite of no lucky hour =
Here is the man who strobe, not rose, To
power!
Eyes riveted on duty, not reward,
Offering his country heart and brain and
sword;
Danger he scorn'd and ease he put away,
On toward fames summit plodding night ard
day;
Ranchman, rough rider patriot, magistrate -
Exalting Law and reverencing the State
Rich in that rare inheritance Of worth
Old ais the heavens and honest as the earth:
Oak-hearted, fearless. pure as Galahad--
sycophants hate him, spoilsmen think him
mad
Except our land beget such sons as he,
Vain are our boastings ofNprosperity;
Empty OF self-conceit, big-soupd, robust
Love warns his will yet nerves it to be just
This is a ruler whom the ruled can trust!

The condition of sidewalks and pave.
ments its source Of frequent complaints.
1t does little good to complain. Neither
the sidewalks nor the pavements will be
properly built or cared for until we have
more business like municipal organiza-
ton than we have at present. The city's
streets should be kept up as carefully and
as'systematically as a railway company
looks after Its roadbed and track. But in
Minneapolis, even when pavements and
walks are well@laid, which is not always,
they are thereafter persistently neglected,
receiving often no repair of any kind
worthy the name. They are simply left to
deterlorate until they have to be replaced.

The WEEK IN BUSINESS

The labor situation remains UNCHANGED
with the principal strike apparently as
far as ever from a settlement and the
outlook growing more serious as the
struggle Is prolonged. a.:
1t was hardly to be expected that the
coal strike could continue SO long with
out some. exhibition of lawlessness. and
1t Is a matter. for congra tulation that so
far there has been little Of it. But the
spirit Of unrest has finally impregnated
the minds Of the participants; and the
week witnessed the first bloodshed, De-
plorable as this occurrence was: It lad
little Of further bad effect. Experience
has shown that the first resort to VIC
lence is often the beginning of the end
in labor war, and the business world
has hoped that it might be SO in this
case. =
The situation is being closely watched
by bankers, especially in the larger cen
tiers. The feeling of hesitation Is hav-
ing more or less effect upon financial
markets, tends to hold speculation In
check, makes lenders of money cautious,
and to a great extent count eracts the Ia
vorable crop prospects. Even on the part
| OF those who are the least pessimistie
there is now a growing fear that before
| the coal strike ends there may be CON
siderable suspension Of labor elsewhere
Such result would be deplorable. Fhe
enforced idleness of many men would
mean the accompa ntment. OF financial dis
-turbances. With hope for the best and
every disposition to see the bright side,
there is nevertheless an under feeling of
extreme cautiousness and a tendency to
go slow forAthe time being.
One Of the distinctly favorable features
was the peace proclamation in South
Africa. Yet the immediate effect was
practically nothing, as it had been pretty
well discounted abroad. Ultimately this
will benefit our country greatly, and
America Willvie with England in furnish
ing material for the rehabilitation OF the
Transvaal. The increased production Of
gold consequent upon the resumption OF
mining on the former large scale viii
help monetary conditions.
Coal prices are naturally showing
tendency to further advance. In steel
rails the price basis has been held down
Notwithstanding an advance In pig iron,
Textiles are firm. Most Of the leading
commodities show seasonable activity.
The northwestern -four output is light,
and the -four trade rather depressed, this
condition.

BANKING EVOLUTION

The consolidation Of nat ional banks has
Of recent years been a feature OF business
In all the principal cities of the country.
Through consultations New York now
has three banks that have a capital OF
$40, O00, 900 each, one of which is planning
TO increase to sa5, 900 600, and Chicago has
one with deposits amounting to 100000
O0U. There have likewise been notable
consultations in Boston. St. Louis and
elsewhere. But even these consolida-
lions have not created banking power
equal to the demands Of the worlds great
est Industrial country. The restrictions
of the national banking law, especially
the inhibition against branch banks. has
prevented the growth of individual banks
into great banking systems with-capital
far in excess of even that Of the three
great banks of New York, -
The bankers have pretty generally
come to the conclusion that whatever may
be the possibilities Of gettins an assets

monopoly is too firmly intrenched for
congress to create a national bank cor

Bank Of England. For year yet we
