with the operation of ships at sea. The
capture of the Olympia shows a grave
weakness in the line of defense, and
the fact that fog was fortuitously
lifted permitting the guard ships to
act is evidence Of weakness in the
Iine1of. defense The success Of the
defense was only brought about by
the use of the wireless telegraph. Had
the same maneuverS been attempted
by the enemy during the Spanish war,
when the wireless telegraph was yet
unknown,s the. Olympia would have
been captured in fact and the enemy
would surely have occupied the har-
Dor that was the objective point.
The mimic war will compel attention
to the necessity for thorough harbor
defenses aside from warships. A fleet
scattered along a coast line for fifty
miles would be practically useless I'M
less favored by the elements, and
harbor unprotected except by the guns
of the ships would be very liable to
capture. The utility of mines in har-
bors is not to be doubted and big guns
on board of distant ships are not the
best possible means of defense.

RETIcULEs FOR MEN.

Harry Lehr, who sold wine before he
got a situation as husband to rich
widow, and who now occupies the
place Of arbiter elegantiarum to the
New York $50, appeared the other day
with little purse dangling by chain
from his wrist. ut Is handy for

ment.
Mr.. Lehr's invention must be treat
ed with some consideration because Of
the fact that he may find followers
In the use Of the chatelaine purse. It is
not probable that the innovation will
become a fad in st. Paul. A society
swell walking about Summit avenue
carrying a gunny sack full of ten-dol-.
lar bills would scarcely attract the at
tention that woufN be bestowed on him
If he should go about with a chate-
laine dangling at his wrist.
Still the invention of Lehr invites
attention to the fact that we have for,

queer additions to the costumes she

day, the arts of criticism, inyectiye and
seems to be the unwritten law that
when man has been successful he
is legitimate prey for the paragrapher.
And yet, as a people, we are undoubt-
edly proud that in this country, more
than in any other, there are citizens
who by their brains and the work Of
their hands have created an aristoc-
racy of ability; an aristocracy, by the
way, in which there is nothing deca-
dent and which must stand or fall by
it's merit and its works.
There is nothing which marks the
we'll balanced man like willingness to
accord due praise to those who have
succeeded where he may have failed.
There seems to be niggardliness of
words and spirit Of jealousy among
people who seek to pull down and be-
little those who have elevated them
selves through their own efforts.
This is exemplified by the spirit IN
which the gifts of Mr.. Andrew Car
negie have been received by the people
at large. However absurd his effort
to get rid of his money may appear to
some, we should look at the intention
behind the effort, which is surely to do
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. If the men whose heads are full
of schemes for the betterment of MAN
kind, but whose pockets are empty
| were suddenly to become possessed Of
| the wealth they crave, they would
certainly be no less puzzled than MI.
! Carnegie to find a means of placing
| large sums of money where it would do
the greatest good. Probably it would
not distress them, because none of
| them would think about it at all.
The generous minded citizen Is he
who is willing to accord hearty praise
where praise is due. To be poor is
distressing, to be rich is not unalloyed
joy, but to be misunderstood is harder
than either.

WHICH is THE PATRIOT?


The feelings of every patriotic Amer
lean suffer shock from the circum-
stances attending the retirement of
Gen. Miles. An occasion such as this,
like death, buries all ancient animosi-
ties and softens the asperity Of even
the crudest character. Gen. Miles has
been a great soldier. gallant fighter,
a man honored by the military rank in
every part of the world. By reason of
| years he lays down the highest place
in the army of the United States and
transmits it's duties and its honors to
his successor. What place in this for
rancor, embittered feeling and insults
scarcely yelled?
We do not now propose to reopen the
controversy that has ragged about the
person and the Office of Gen. Miles for
more than five years past. 1t may be
that he has laid himself open to criti-
cism, and displayed some of the more
| intensely human qualities at his own
cost. 1t may be also that he has suf-
| fered from the Iittleness, the jealousy,
the personal hatred of those placed by
| the exigencies of the hour in authority
over him. Whatever his failings Or
| his wrongs, the American people know
him to be a brave and honorable man.
intensely loyal to his country and his
order. This is a time when only such
things should, be. remembered.
Lets.those who have criticised the
commanding general :. read from his
farewell address to the army some
of his stirring and noble words:
GA serious duty and great hon
or are now presented to every
officer nd soldier; namely, to ex-
emplify to those with whom he
comes in contact our country's princi-
pies of equal and exact justice, i'm
arnunity from violence. equality before
the law and the peaceful use and pos
session of his own" And again: s'The
| Lieutenant general has faith that under
all circumstances, the army will main
tain its high character and that it's fu-
ture will be as, honorable and glorious
as has been it's history in the past" No
righteousness there no recalling of
old controversies; no taking advantage
of the occasion and it's immunities to
| deliver a blow at those whom he GER
tainly has some reason to regard as
! his prosecutors; nothing but regard for
the dignity of his office and the pro-
prieties of the time and place.
Read now the curt. bare sentences of
the order Of retirement The retire
ment is announced and the former lieu
tenant general is ordered to proceed to
his home. That is all. No CLINT Of
| generosity, no memory of great SER
vices and undenied which he rendered
to his country. Nobody expected mag
nanimity from such a source. but de-
cency and at least formal recognition
of the courtesies of official life 1t was
scarcely too much to look for. The ad-
|
dictiveness to get the better of its
reason. The patriot and the gentleman
speak in the last words of Gen. Miles
to his comrades in arms. We should
prefer not to say what speaks through
the official circular of the war depart
ment.

A Remedy for seasIckness.

fault with Frank Eddy's sudden con-

and the fact is recalled that during his

congress, where he was in position
to live up to his present professions,
Mr.. Eddy never gave any evidence Of

What the Editors Say

A rule to which there is no excep-
ton is that political parties long re-
tanned in power become corrupt and
negligent of the rights and welfare of
the people. The Republican party of
Minnesota has been practically in con-
troll of the affairs of this state since
1860. Then. according to the general
rule applicable to political organiza-
tons long favored by the people, the
Republican party in this state must be
corrupt. AS the party is, SO must be
it's administration of the affairs of the
state. The Republican party of this
state can be convicted of corruption
on the testimony of Republican politi-
clans. There are ordinations and re-
ordinations among them. There are
charges of corruption and jobbery in
regard to pine timber and land, min
eral land and leases, the building of
the state capitol and the creation of
the board of control. and to favoritism
shown certain powerful railroad and
street railway corporations. Following
the testimony Of it's own witnesses we
must find the Republican party in this
state guilty of corruption and jobbery.
