have laid his maxiIns to heart Here
are few of his saying: IN war, the
moral element and public opinion are
half the battle; IA thing must needs
be done before the announcement of

not see. You must have confidence; ="

Il have destroyed the enemy merely
by marches;r and Generals who save

beaten" The Importance that he at
tached to the command of the sea may
be judged from another of his sayings:

THE PRESIDENT, HIS TRAVELS.

1t is authoritatively announced from
the White house that President Roose-
Welt does not purpose going abroad. A
story has been going about the bur
den of which was that the embassies
of the United States in Europe had
been instructed to make inquiry as to
what sort of reception Col Roosevelt
was likely to meet with in case he
should decide to visit the capitals of
the old world. 1t was to put this story
out of commission that the formal
statement was made.
1t is probable, however. that there
was some sort of ground for the orig
inal story. Knowing Col. RooseveIt's
disposition to get all that is coming
to him in the way of public applause
we might expect that he would be
minded 10 give the peoples of Europe
chance to express their admiration for
him. 1t is very certain that he would
not be restrained by any regard for
the tradition which has hitherto caus-
ed the chief executive to refrain from
going beyond the national boundaries
The setting aside~of that tradition
would but add zest to the innovation.
For the rest, it must be admitted that
such tour as was suggested would
be dear to the heart of man like
Roosevelt. He has observed, no doubt
with some feeling of envy, the ova-
lions that have been rendered the
crowned heads Of foreign monarchies
when they go abroad. He has a very
high regard for the station he &C.
cupies-and that very properly. He
also has some trif1e of esteem for the
occupant of that high station. On the
whole, it is rather to be regretted that
he has decided not to go abroad. He
would disabuse the vassals of the mon
archs of Europe of their besotted ideas
of the groveling democracy Of the
people of these United States. He would
show them an uncrowned head under a

FARQUHAR FAVORS
OLD TONNAGE BILL
Thinks Railroads Should Build Ships
for the Foreign Trade.

NEW YORK, May 25.-When the
Merchant Marine commission resumed
it's investigation today, former Con-
gresham John M. Farquhar, Of Buff
falo, spoke in favor of the tonnage bill
of 1891, which failed of passage by
congress. The bill provided for a
bounty based on mileage covered by
the ships. Mr.. Farquhar said that,
however adequate the bill of 1891 was,
1T would serve at least as the entering
wedge. He believed the question was
strictly a commercial one and that it
should be taken out Of politics entire
ly. Mr.. Farquhar advocated the
building of ships for the foreign trade
by railroads, saying that all over
charges for operating and constructing
could be saved in this way.
The commission will sit at Philadel
phia tomorrow at the Board Of Trade,
visiting Cramps shipyard the following
day. Baltimore and Boston also will
be visited. Later. subcommissions will
hear testimony in Buffalo, Cleveland
and Detroit and Chicago, along the
lakes; Tacoma and Seattle. on the Pa
cific, and possibly Norfolk, Va, and

HARD ON GAMBLING.

TIL police forces Of New York and
Chicago, under the pressure of
healthy public opinion, are playing
havoc with some of the meanest and
most depraving forms of gambling. AS
an individual vice privately INDUCED,
gambling cannot be prevented. Ger
tain exhibitions of it on large scale
through public instrumentalities, such,
for instance, as dealing in futures,
cannot easily be interfered with with
bout also Gripping legitimate operations
of trade. But the vile little devices
that gather in the ignorant and the
young, the ways and means by which
vice is inculcated and encouraged, the
implements by which the compara-
lively poor are preyed upon and de-
based, can be abolished and we are
heartily glad to see the work begun.
In New York the police are after the
pool rooms and are wedding them out
| rapidly. The great obstacle in the way,
the ease with which they obtained tel
; egraphic service, has now been re-
moved, and place after place is raided
with success. There will be very little
inducement to play the races when
the player has to hunt for his oppor-
tunity and to enjoy it by stealth.
Neither is there money enough in that
way Of conducting the business to
make it tempting TO the operator. The
policy shop is a clearly vicious form
of the same infamy. They are after il
now in Chicago, and it is proof of the
desperate iniquity of anything when
| even Chicago will not tolerate it. Pol
icy should not be allowed anywhere,
under either the strictest or the most
lax administration.
Human nature cannot be regenerated
by law, nor great reforms carried
through at the point of the poIiceman's
| club; but the destruction Of these
wretched forms of gambling, which in
vite the young, which rob the clerk Of
his salary and the laboring man of his
wage, which coddle an evil appetite
until it becomes an inexorable master,
which create thieves and embezzlers
and weaken character until it is rotten
to the core will be a tremendous adj
vance. us

Mr.. JORDAN WAITS.

T e Clio b e takes great pleasure in
advising Warden Wolfer, Of the Still
water penitentiary Mr.. r. B. Bronson,
the prison contractor, the members OF
the state board of control, Gov Van
SAINT and all others whom it may con-
Germ, that Mr.. w. B. Jordan is now in
St Paul. Mr. Jordan, it will be re-
membered, is the gentleman who pub
1icly accused Warden Wolfer of having
an interest in the shoe company using
prison labor. He made lengthy state
| ment to the board of control, and Of
fered to give them other interesting
information which he said was in his
possession, on demand. He is a thor
oughly responsible gentleman, morally
and financially. He is now where he
can be called upon to make good.
The persons implicated in this mat
ter and the other persons whose public
duty it is to sift it to the bottom have
shown no inclination to pursue the dis
cussion They have, on the contrary,
acted as if one of their most earnest
desires in life was to hush it up. They
| have now an opportunity to clear them
| selves from the criticism that their
failure to act has evoked. They can
| make record; and a record they will
find waiting them, of one sort or an
other, when the people come to pass
| upon the conduct of their public serv-
ants. 1t will be a simple matter to
summon Mr.. Jordan and ask him to
make good his charges or to find them
disproved. Such course can injure
none but the guilty, if guilty there are.
| Therefore a failure to follow it will
be viewed with the gravest suspicion.
VIII those most closely concerned
call upon Mr.. Jordan to come forward,
or will they keep their lips and their
ears padlocked and cover in secrecy in
the hope that this affair may be for
gotten? We assure them that the peo-
pie of Minnesota are watching their
action or non-action with a vital in
terest, and that conclusions of the ut
most Importance to themselves will be
| formed accordingly. One thing is GER
| tain: Mr. Jordan will not evade any
| inquiry. Are those whom he has placed
under a cloud anxious to see or to
hear from him?.

Contemporary Comment
Our South American Trade.

South American trade is worth cul-
fivatlng, but while Germans and Eng
hShmen seem to know how to cult
waite II, Americans do not. 1t ought to
be easier TO- drum up customers in Ar
gentlna or BrAzil than in China, but
apparently TT s not There is no diff
hculty about selling goods to Mexi-
cans but there is when it comes to
selling them to Chilians or Venezue-
lans. The ilssrger trade with Mexico is
due to the extension of the American
raalroaa sysIePa,-lnto that country. 1t
may be that the Panama canal will
stimulate commercial intercourse be-
tween the United States and the states
on the west coast of South America,
put without the canal that intercourse
should be more extensive than 1T is.
The slow growth of American trade
with the southern half of this hem
isphere is inexplicable and little NOR
tfying.-Chicago Tribune
