1.-THE, Sun Do Move"

Mr.. Carnegie, who has nothing to lose
by it because he has the world pounded
to pulp anyhow, came out openly yes
terday and gave the effete monarchs of
Europe little good advice that they will
do we'll to heed. Andrew cannily pointed
out to them that, handicapped as they are
by big armies and little fool political
jealousies called nations. they will in a
commercial contest with the United
States, last about a long as the tradition
al 1cicle In the bad place. Mr. Carnegie
more particularly addressed the Emperor
William, who Is generally supposed to
have IN him the making of successful
fat boy Of the George j. Gould stripe.
and told him that If Europe didn't get
into line it wouldn't take more than two
good business rounds to put it to the
bad. ~, -
It is clear enough that a new idea has
come into the world The new watch
word is not political, but commercial.
Great problems are not to be settled by
statecraft but by business. If you don't
get in line you will be undersold. And
everybody knows what that means.
What will be the final outcome? There
can be but one! Nations will be so bound
together financially that 4, the United
States of the World will be the result This
planet is going to be one ma ton. united in
the bonds of peace and uninterrupted
business.
You don't expect to live to see that?
Who said you did. It will come about.
perhaps. just as we'll without you. It
will take a thousand years to bring it
about? What if it does. Time is moth
Ing. But the world is moving faster
than it used to: It will not take thou
SAND years to bring it about. We have
struck a swift pace and are not wasting

We Can Wait.

The Danes are slow to part with the
fringes of empire. These little nations
are fairly we'll reconciled to their hope
less obscurty, but they like to retain what
they can Of colonies and oversee inter
ests In order that they may have some
shadow of Importance in the world. Aside
from this national pride there is genu-
Inc patriotism that affects small nations
quite as much as large, that urges them
never to ALLEVIATE territory except under
threat of overwhelming force. y
So it is not surprising that, after; all
these months Of delay, the landsthine
should, by a tie vote, reject the treaty
West Indies to the United States.
We can patiently walt. Sooner or late,
the islands will be ours. It can't be
otherwise. OF course, the sooner we get
them the better, so we can build forti-
fications and establish naval yards against
the time when we shall have to fight tc
maintain the Monroe doctrine and our SUI
premacy in the Caribbean sea. But the
possession Of Culebra, an island on the
coast Of Porto Rico, puts us in fairly
good position for defense and naval sta
ton anyway. But st. Thomas would be
better and we can't take chances on the
islands falling into the hands of some
other great power.

A Profitable Business.

The breaking up Of the gamblers syn
dictate in Minneapolis brings out some
interesting facts in regard to the appar-
ent proftableness Of that business in this
city during the past fifteen or twenty
years
John Flanagan, the head Of the syndi-
cate is going into the ranching business
near Calgary, In Canada. In fact. he Is
said to be largely interested in that bust
ness already, and to have accumulated.
while conducting this gambling business.
a fortune Of $3.50, 900 in money, in addition
to which he has extensive land interests.
His partner. Shelley, is rated at $1,000
which is said to be a moderate estimate
of his resources.
These figures represent the accumulated
fortunes of men who are supposed to have
conducted what Is known as square
gambling business as distinguished from
"big mitt." tin horn" and other curl
ously described manipulators Of the cards.
The policies Of the different admins
trations Of city affairs in Minneapolis
have been varied. At times certain So
mitted to conduct their business without
serious disturbance under close surveil-
lance, the theory being that this is a bet
ter way to handle the gambling evil than
to attempt radical suppression. This
policy is supported by the claim that
regulation of one or two gambling houses,
so conducted that minors and working
men, salaried clerks and "innOcents
abroad barred out is better than a
gambling business conducted in secret
hiding places where all classes of men,
young and old, are entrapped and robbed
by tricks which the square gambler,
1t is assumed, would be unwilling to re-
sort to.
At other times efforts have been made
to suppress the gambling business entire
ly. The former policy however, has gen.
orally prevailed Whether the results
have been more satisfactory, so far as the
effect upon the public is concerned than
more rigorous policy would have pro-
duced, they certainly have been highly
beneficial to those engaged in the bust
ness. If gambling has not been the chief
source of wealth accumulated by the syn
dictate gamblers, it has at least afforded
them the beginnings of their fortunes,
and enabled them to carry on a business
highly profitable by comparison with an
average legitimate business.

madam prime minister ought not to over
look the grave breach of constitutionality
made by Governor General Lord Mirto
while the premier was abroad. At ban
quet given in honor of Sir Edmund Bar

that 1t was the duty Of the colonies to
place the local military forces permanently

AS it was precisely such proposition that

colonial premiers, as well as at other
times, Lord Mimic plainly OVerStepped the
unwritten rule of the British constitution
that the sovereign and especially his per-

fgureheads. A governor general is not
supposed to have any public opinions on
political questions How firmly this idea
is entertained in Canada is shown by the
Toronto Stars remarks on the report that
Lord Miner of South African fame is to

William Henry Eustis is asking Mr..
Lind some troublesome questions He
cites the fact that Mr.. Lind left the repub-
lican party because he said he did not
believe in its principles. The point at
which he took issue was upon a remedy
for hard times, which he claimed was to
be found in the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver at the ratio of 16 to /. And
yet, says Mr.. Eustis, he spoke for two
hours few nights ago, and during those
two hours. he did not once mention the
issue for which he left the republican
party Which leads Mr.. Eustis to inquire
whether Mr.. Lind IS honest or Intelligent.
If he was honest six years ago, he could
not have been intelligent, he assumes;
and, if he was intelligent, he could not
have been honest.

Carnegie Still Talking.

If Andrew Carnegie keeps on Haunting
American greatness and industrial irwin
cibility in the face Of his British friends,
they will soon be Of a mind to put him
and all his endowments on steamer and
send them to the United States, with a
very strong admonition against ever being
seen again on British soil.
In his rectoral address, upon being in
stalled rector of st. Andrews univer
sity, Scotland, yesterday, Mr.. Carnegie
plainly told his hearers that Great Brit
ain was doomed to second place, and
would have to fight hard against Ger
many to maintain it. Even taking the
British empire as whole, he saw no
hope for it in the contest with the United
States which. with unrivaled natural re-
sources, will ere long have 200, 1000, 900
English-speaking people,. In neither the
great English speaking colonies of Cana
da nor Australia could Mr.. Carnegie see
hope Of reinforcements that would save
the motherland in her great Industrial
battle with the republic.
But while glorying in this American
ascendancy, Mr. Carnegie made an appeal
to the German emperor to organize a
United States Of Europe, which would
deliver her from the fear and incubus Of
war and ruin between members Of her
own body. Germany, France and Russia,
united. could preserve the peace Of Eu-
, rope and organize it's industry to meet
The commercial attack of the United
States. Otherwise the European powers
would revolye like so many tilliputians
around tho giant CULVER, the American
union. Thus, while Mr.. Carnegie was
singing the praises of America and the
decline of England. he was advocating a
European combination that would throw
the tight little island into the shadow
and give the United States foeman
worthy OF its steel.
