The Paw of Ministers.

A Methodist minister somewhere In
Minnesota who was newspaper man
N England from 1875 to 1885, but
seems to have jumped from the frying
pan into the fire, sends the following
touching communication to the editor
of the Brooklyn Eagle:
My salary is, a. little better than at my
last parish, $500 per year. It is already $50
in arrears. A charge of $50 for moving
expenses is yet unpaid to my stewards.
] have five children, from % to 12 years
old, two Of whom are in college in this
state, third son being compelled to stay
out of college last November to work at
a railroad station to get money enough to
finish his course; he Is now junior. Two
are at home with me, both girls, attend
ing school here Dental work (essential)
for self and family has cost this year $25;
fuel, already, $40, to say nothing of cloth
ing and food, etc. Insurance premium due
this month yet unpaid. And haven't a
dollar in sight for the next month"; any
way, that can pay for such a luxury, I
might almost say necessity, as the Brook
lyn Eagles Monday edition.
DO not you honestly think that to keep
a wife and family Of five respectfully
clad, and a college education for two Of
them on 800 a year, together with all
other expenses is a fairly good reason for
not continuing my subscription even to
the Brooklyn. Daily Eagles Monday edi-

THURSDAY EVENING,

News and Courier, which tells him
that he ought not to try to live on 500
at the rate of $1,000 a year, and that
he Is lucky to be able to keep, two
sons In college and secure lucrative
employment for another. More than
that, the News and Courier says 1t
knows a place in South Carolina where
ministers formerly lived, raised large
families and put by some savings on a
salary Of 500 q year. In fact, 1t says,
800 year is about twice the salary
received to-day by the country minis
ters In some Of the South Carolina
churches.
Ministers, along with their small
salaries. certainly have learned the art
Of cheap living. We know of a "Y ork
state minister of an earlier day who
brought up a large family on a salary
Of 5000 a year with few little per-
quisites. such as free rent, in addition.
We know of a successful country pas
tor Of the present day who has prob
ably never had 50 much as $500 a
year. has successfully raised family
of several children, has been able to
take occasional vacation trips Of some
length and has saved a considerable
sum of money.
The miracle of the loaves and fishes
seems to be continually repeated in

Progress of the War.

To-day's war news records nothing
startling. The expectation that the
Japanese would return to Port Arthur
and endeavor to destroy the crippled
Russian fleet has not so far been full
filed. At this distance it seems
strange that the victorious Japanese
did not follow up their first demoraliz-
ing blows with others aimed at the
destruction Of Russia's naval strength
In the east. Possibly, tho. satisfied
that they had put the Russian fleet out
OF offensive work for some days at
least, the Japanese have decided to
insure the landing Of a large army in
Korea and possibly Manchuria before
undertaking the destruction Of the
Russian fleet, in doing which there is
q chance that they might themselves
suffer heavy losses. A few chance
shots or we'll directed torpedoes might
turn the tables of the naval game.
The most interesting part of the
days news is the confirmed statement
that the Japanese have blown up an
important bridge on the Manchurian
railway. It thus appears that there
was some foundation for antebellum
statements that the Japanese had al
ready perfected arrangements for cut
ting the railway line upon which Rus
STA must depend for the hope Of Sue
cess in land operations.
Korea appears already to be firmly
within the Japanese grasp. Thus the
little brown men have provided them
selves with a firm foothold for launch
ing a land attack against the Russians
in Manchuria. Northern Korea ap-
pears already to have been invaded by
the Russians. 1t may not, therefore,
be very long before a stiff land battle
will be fought, tho an important COM
bat IS hardly to be expected within
a few days. 1t took the Japs about
five months from the beginning Of the
war with China to take Port Arthur,
and they are not likely to advance
much faster when confronting the
Russians. a., ,-s 80. = La

Forestry numbering.

It Is announced from Washington
that the Weyerhaeuser interests and
the Northern Pacific have asked the
forestry bureau to propose, plans for
the administration Of their Washing
ton and Idaho forests. This means, of
course, that these two great timber
owners have decided to conduct their
numbering operations in the future
with a view to the treatment Of their
forests as permanent sources Of tim
Der supply. The method Of numbering
that has been in vogue in America
ever since it's settlement has looked
upon the forest merely as a timber
deposit, to be removed on the same
principle as a mineral deposit which
is incapable of reproducing itself.
From this departure it would appear
that the era of numbering on forestry
principles is to arrive in America
somewhat sooner than the friends Of
forestry ever thought it would. They
have been Of the opinion that, in view
Of the conditions prevailing in this
country, there was, no hope that any
S|eblAe1liSo LoI COT privately o"IlCu "ouiu
be spared from wholesale destruction.
Evidently, however, far sighted
lumbermen have foreseen that the men
who have forests of mature or matur-
ing trees just at the time when others
are beginning to reforest for the bene-
fit of a future generation, will be the
ones who will reap a golden harvest.
We have always thought that the
whole coniferous forest of northern
Minnesota is doomed to destruction,
but if numbering on the principle Of
preserving the forest as a whole = is
good in Washington and Idaho,::> it
ought to be good in Minnesota, lit
would seem. Still, differing conditions,
such as smaller holdings, high taxes,
danger of fires and nearness to the
market may make it commercially I'M
wise for the Minnesota owner to pre-
serve his forests as timber supplies.

American Manufacturers in Favor

The way the wind blows in some
quarters in western Canada is shown
by the remarks made by former
Premier Greenway in the discussion in.
the Manitoba legislature over the gov
ernment's preferential trade resolu-.
ton. This is the summary Of the
Greenway speech as given by a Can
adian paper:
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Green
way sneered at the eastern Canadian
manufacturers, stating that they never
did, and never would, amount to anything,
SO far as the west was concerned. They
had no idea Of how to handle business in
this country, and their, poor business
methods made it necessafyf for the western
farmer to do business with the United
States. s.
The western Canadian undoubtedly
finds It moro satisfactory to do BUSH
ness with American manufacturers.
In time, the eastern Canadian manu-
facturer will find out how to handle
the westerners. The manufactures
Of eastern Canada are passing under
American control to very large ez-

Encouraging the Criminal.

ES-Mayor Arnes of Minneapolis escapes
punishment for his public offenses thru
a technicality- Three judges of the SUI
preme court, while not denying Anes'
guilt, find that the prosecutor erred in
stating the modus operandi of paying the
money. In other words, the evidence did
not show that there was an understanding
among the persons paying the money. as
claimed. There is no question that they
paid the money or that Ames got a part of
it.
It is difficult to see how. the ends Of
Justice are served in this case.
While the courts indulge in this species
Of justice. they should know that they are
encouraging the criminal lawyer to do his
worst and they are certainly adding moth
ing to the reasons for popular respect for
the law.

MIR. Dunn's Explanation.

Mr.. r. G. Dunn, a candidate for the
republican nomination for governor,
is out with a long statement lit which
he endeavors to put himself right on
the merger question. He cites a for
mer interview as proof that his atti-
tude is correct and in line with the
states policy, yet in that very inter
view he said that he believed that the
fight against Mr.. Hill was inspired by
rival railway interests"
The Eight he referred to was the
prosecution of the suit against the
merger, inaugurated by Governor Van
SAINT. In effect, therefore, Mr.. Dunn
said that an attempt to enforce law
was merely a phase of railway rivalry
In the whole interview, which the
candidate SO boldly cites, there is not
a single word Of approval or praise
of the state administration fer doing
it's duty. -~..,. 49,. .-s-. -.
Every party man has a good right
to sacrifice his PERSONAL views to those
Of the party. We have, therefore, no
fault to find with Mr.. Dunn's en-
phatic, tho late, declaration that he In
dorses the merger clause Of the last
republican state platform, that he is
opposed to railway monopoly. that he
will enforce the laws if elected, and
that If judicial interpretation makes
those laws Ineffective, will move for
new and effective legislation.
At the. same time we venture to
suggest that it will occur to many peo-
pie that Il Mr.. Dunn had been in har-
mony with the states position as to
the merger. there, would be no occa-
sion for explanations now.

tent, and tho native iss learning from
competition to do business the way
the westerners want 1t done.
But putting that aside, the de-
mands Of geography are not lightly
to be waived. Conditions In western
Canada and western United States are
SO much alike that there is bound to
be a great degree Of similarity be-
tween the populations of the two re-
gions, and this similarity is greatly
promoted by tho immigration OF
American farmers into western Can
ada. There is, therefore, q measure
of truth in Mr.. Greenway's statement
that 1t will continue to be necessary
for the Canadian wheat farmer to do
business with American manufao-
turers.
Incidentally. 1t is worth while to
remind the public that the Manitoba
legislature voted unanimously for
the resolution favoring preferential
trade within the British empire.
