WON'T MEAN TARIFF WAR
Sir Gilbert Parker Says America
Will Reduce Her High
Tariffs First.

New York, June 3O.-The outspoken fol-
lowers Of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
IN the house OF commons are not waiting
for cabinet inquiry but are consulting
their constituencies respecting the pro-
posed fiscal changes, says the London COR
respondent of the Tribune. Sir Gilbert
Parker spoke before the Conservative club
and workers party at Gravesend to-day
and secured the unanimous passage Of a
resolution in favor Of an exhaustive in
quiry with a view to :devising needful
measures for checking the increasing in
roads upon the home market and the ex-
port trade by protected foreign rivals and
for developing trade on preferential
basis between the mother country and the
colonies
Sir Gilbert said that he did not believe
that battle of tariffs would follow the
adoption of the proposals. The United
States and Germany he added, had all
ready reached the highest point they could
touch in the way of tariffs, a point which
could never be reached by Great Britain.
He ascribed the quiet reception of Mr..
Chamberlain's proposals in America to the
fact that a large party there hoped they
American tariff. The speaker declared that
when he discussed with Americans the
possibility Of their fighting hostile tariff
their answer always was:
eve will not. We shall lsay: Don't
shoot; we will come down."
Sir Gilbert's speech is fresh proof that
the readjustment OF foreign trade by ne
gotiations based on a moderate tariff is
the principal object of the new fiscal pro-
posalS and that taxes on imoprted food
will be balances in various ways.

England and Portugal Prepare to Honor
American Seamen.
Washington, June S0.-The state de-
partment has been advised that the gov
ernments of England and Portugal are
making ready to shower hospitality upon
the American squadron in Europe
King Edward has arranged to give a
grand ball on July In honor of Presi-
dent Loubet and the American naval Off
GERS attached to the squadron will be in
vited to meet the president. On the fol-
lowing day the king will give the officers
a banquet in Buckingham palace. The
naval end Of the reception will make a
significant marine spectacle, for the en-
tire British channel squadron has been
ordered to assemble at Spithead to well
come the little American squadron when
it comes to port at Portsmouth from Kiel-
1t appears that the invitation OF the
squadron to visit Lisbon was inspired di-
rectly by the king Of Portugal, SO that
the reception there will be Of the most
formal and official character.
Regarding published reports that EN-
peror Williams inspection Of the Kear-

department and was considered a breach
Of naval etiquette. Secretary Moody says:
NO criticism OF the emperors inspec-
ton Of the Kearsarge has been uttered
by any responsible person in this depart
| ment, so far as I can ascertain I am
informed by Rear Admiral Taylor, chief
| of the bureau Of navigation. that the
| emperor's inspection is in no way sub
| ject to criticism and can be considered
| in no light other than courteous atten-
| ton on the emperor's part to us. It is a
| long established custom for foreign Off
Gals to inspect battleships Of friendly ma
tons, and is regarded as an honor.

The Farm School Trouble.

AS time goes by it becomes more and
more apparent that the deplorable unrest
at ..IJniversity Farm has not been set
tied by the drastic action Of the board OF
regents in demanding the resignation OF
Principal Tucker and three INSTRUCTORS
That being the case, something must Dc
done to clear up the difficulty and restore
harmony.
Enough has come out thru the press
and by common report to convince the
interested public that It Is very doubtful
whether the regents have pursued the
right course. This feeling IS so general
and so firmly established that 1t Is bound
to prevent harmony at the farm and IN the
university until those who entertain IT
have been convinced that the regents were
either right or wrong in their way Of set
ting the trouble. II the regents have
made mistake, it is their duty to correct
it, and we have no doubt that they will
be perfectly willing to revise their judg-
ment If evidence were presented to them
that would convince them that they have
made q mistake.
We can see no way out Of the trouble
that will be permanently satisfactory ex-
cept thru a careful public investigation Of
the whole unpleasant situation. If the re-
gents are in5touch with and mindful OF the
opinion Of the interested public they will
welcome an investigation. IF they are
right the investigation will sustain them;
If they are wrong, it will point out the
right course for them to take.

kept up losing race, but they continued
to lose ground until the finish.

What Shall We Do With Our
Sewage

This question IS constantly presenting
itself to the citizens Of our state. The
country is new and prosperous, and as it
prospers villages and cities spring UP that
soon demand public water supplies in
used in house construction. Under such
conditions the water-tight cesspool is no
longer sufficient as a means Of caring for
the house sewage. The character Of the
substitutes for the water-tight vault and
cesspool are striking and ingenious, If not
sanitary. One house owner will dig a cess.
pool deep enough to reach a sand or gravel
stratum and will discharge the house.
sewage int othis place with the intent
that it shall dispense itself thru this fill
tering media regardless Of the fact that
wells supplying drinking water may be in
supply from the same sand or gravel bed.
The house sewage thus passes almost di-
rectly from the cesspool to the family
we'll In other instances, house sewage Is
discharged into deep abandoned wells. It
may thus go to considerable depth de-
kApo1A
way the water from deep wells may be
rendered unfit for use; wells that but for
this unnatural pollution would be abso-,
lutely safe as source for drinking water
Such pollution is known to exist in several
Minnesota villages.
Still another means of sewage disposal
Is by discharging 1t into streams or lakes.
1 Viii
the argument being that streams are our
natural sewers. But are they? Streams
In their natural state carry pure water
from source to outlet, while natural lakes
fed by springs contain as pure water as
the streams. If sewage is discharged into
for all points below the point Of sewage
discharge. The old idea of self -purif1ca-
ton Of a stream does not hold true when
applied to bacterial life.
A polluted lake is even worse than q
polluted stream for in time it becomes
a veritable open cesspool.
II sewage is discharged into streams or
lakes 1t becomes question Of time only
as to when they will become public NUS
ances In many OF the older states they
arc such already. It is often easier to
prevent than to correct anaevil. Now is
the time for Minnesota to decide as to
whether it will prevent the evils Of stream
and lake pollution or whether it will Gre
/ ate evils for future generations to worry
over. The smaller the stream the create,
4 the evils of pollution. #
What is to be the future Of cities ane
villages in Minnesota? Are they to be
located on streams serving as open sewers
and lakes which are but stagnant cess.

enger type, to become extinct? Are The
lives Of human beings to be constant,
jeopardized?: Such seems to be the tend,

The Bond Problem.

I: The unpleasant municipal bond trouble
has now come to the point where it may
be taken for granted-unless the one
fourth per cent commission offer still holds
good. and private citizens shall subscribe
neapolis must either raise the rate Of in
terest from az to per cent or issue nc
bonds at this time and go without some
desperately needed public improvements
The water works bonds can not, under
the law, draw more than Sh per cent, sc
the remainder of the proposed issue down
to $715,o00. Deduct from this amount the
proposed bridge bonds. $215, 900, and there
remains 100000 needed for public i'm.
provements, $25O,O00 being for the revolv.
ing fund and $4,000 for the permanent
fund.
If Minneapolis is to pay y per cent more
interest than it had figured on, it ought
to reduce the amount Of the loan as much
as possible. Rather than sell bridge bonds
at per cent FOR bridge building that car
wait, they should be held back until
the money market Is better or until thu
bridge building must be done at any cost
AS Mr.. e. A. Merrill pointed out thu
other day, the city is trying to sell it!
bonds at the worst possible time. I
some must be sold, regardless Of the con
| dition Of the market, there Is reason
why others should be sold, II the purposes
to which they were to be devoted can wal
awhile without injury to the city's inter
ests. The need of new paving and nev
sewers is imperative. Some streets ar
now In such a. disgraceful condition tina;
1t is not true economy to postpone paw
ing them. All the work that can be done
| in what remains Of this season should b,
done. Much as the raising Of the Min
neapolis interest rate to per cent is t,
be deplored, it is impossible to see an.
other way out, unless the city is unwisel.
to postpone still longer improvements tina
have already waited too long

Giving Us a "Character." "

4 A London cable quotes a statement by
the consul general Of the United States of
Colombia in that city touching the canal
treaty, in which he lays down a program
for the United States and Colombia to fol-
low, with surprising degpee of assur-
ance and makes statements as to what
Americans will do If the canal treaty is
defeated which are Of decided interest.
According to the consul general, our
government has been intriguing for some
time in the most desperate way to defeat
the opposition to the treaty, which is led
by General Reyes, who has plotted to eff
feet one OF those interesting upheavals
common to some Spanish-American re-
publics, by which a citizen dissatisfied
lects a body of revolutionists and in fam
boyant rhetoric calls upon the people to
assert their liberties and overthrow the
existing regime. Reyes proposes to de-
pose Marroquin by the Servian method, if
Marrouuin will not step down and out
at his demand. Then Reyes will take
charge as military dictator and increase
the price for the franchise at very high
figure and advance the rent at percent
age in keeping with the Colombian estim-
ate of it's value. The consul general also
declares, as if he intimately knew it, that
our government is even now aiding and
abetting a revolt in the state Of Panama
to come off II the Colombian congress re-
fuses to sell the canal rights, the secession
| of Panama to be made successful by the
army and navy Of the United States.
This is all very Interesting and some
thing Of the same kind has been heard
Of before. ESPECIALLY interesting Is the
statement that our government will build
the canal, enforcing its own terms on a
helpless people" This statement Of the
| consul general Is what might have been
written by General Reyes himself. It is
| inf1ame his Colombian fellow citizens
against the United States as menace to
1 the liberties of the Spantsh-American re-
publics The consul general would GER
4 tainly not seem to be very loyal to Presi-
i dent Marroquin. It Is not unlikely thai
there have been agents of the transcon-
tinental railway lines at Bogota, trying

This is q puelyl Scottish story, with a
purely Scottish atmosphere and the
smell Of the heather about it, and an ex-
Extraordinarily good love story even for the
author, who has never written. any but
good stories. It is Of the period Of the
last attempt Of the Stuarts to recover the
throne, lost under folly Of James. In it,
figure the Clan McArgall and the Clan
Macdonald, part1zans of the Stuarts and
promoters Of Prince Charles Inflated
rally Of the Jacobites which ended in the
decisive reverses at Culloden. There are
some fine passages In the book, showing
the ways and spirit Of the Scottish parti-
zans of Prince Charles, who lost all
prudence thru their personal attachment
to the impractical Pretender. He was
found not to be the man to restore the
ancient Kingdom of Scotland with a. king
Of its own royal line on the throne.
