Statistician, almost got the scandal
in the Government Printing Office
settled after ia aihion, when along
come the employees of the Navy
Yard at Washington with the plea
that they are being overworked this
hot weather. Then the President
rebelled and put the matter up to
the new secretary ofthe Navy. Thus
Secretary Bonaparte's first trouble
commences.
XXX
The complaint of the Navy Yard
employees is that they were prom
ised half holiday on Saturday
along with the other government
employees. This was granted them
on the condition that the work at
the yard was i'll such shape that the
services of the men could be dis
pensed with without hampering the
other departments that were waiting
on the gun work at the yard for
arming the new warships. TIL
Secretary Of the Navy claims that
he cannot release the men and they
have now appealed a second time to
the President while the legal ma

A government commission was
called and they heard expert wit
nesses to great length. 1t devel.
oped further that the trouble grew
out of friction and jealousy between
public Printer Palmer and foreman
Ricketts, of the big print shop? Now
the report of the commission has
been placed in the hands of the
government and the question is
what to do with it. II the contract
is upheld, one of the companies in
volved will hail 1t as a government
endorsement for their machine. II
the contract is annuled, the other
company will tout its machine as
the only thing among typesetters.
Which horn of the dilemma the
government will grasp is an inter
esting question.

Naval Problems.

The visit of Prince Louis of Batten-
berg with his squadron to American
waters is in a way recognition OF one
great naval power by another Twenty
years ago such a call would have looked
more like a menace than compliment.
The American navy was then IN the
formation period. The United States
had no standing among great powers as
a naval unit.
But the United States has progressed.
We sent navy against the Spanish
power in 1898 that astonished the world.
Our ironclads at Manila and Santiago
wiped out the remnant Of the Spanish
power on water without the loss OF q
ship and with scarcely the loss of a
man. The efficiency as we'll as the
strength Of the American navy was
demonstrated. Thereafter this country
sent a squadron to British waters for
the coronation of King Edward.
Our ships have been on friendly visits
to French ports and German ports ami
everywhere the flag of this country has
been respected. Indeed, until the Jap
anese gave their almost miraculous eX-
hibition of naval superiority we had the
only fleet of ironclads which had been
tested in action.
So today visit from British
squadron is not bit of patronage MOI
| does it fill us with dread Of what might
| happen to us because we realize that
the British navy is more numerous than
ours; it is not so certain that we coulo

once beat them in wooden hulls.

some vagaries on the part of congress

Farmer Shaw Sells Out.

The sale by Leslie M. Shaw of his
3,5O0-acre farm in Texas for $4,000
cash is said to be another Of the pre-
liminaries of his campaign for the pres
idency. Governor Shaw proposes to
have neither Offices nor farms handi-
cap him in the race for delegates. It
seems shame to sacrifice fine farm
for a. paltry $4,000, but it is easy to
see that it might become menace to
his chances for the presidency. 1t

cunning for delegates in Vermont, the

The Statute of Limitations.

The grand jury in it's report issued
Saturday suggests the repeal of the
statute of limitations for criminal Of
fenses. At least it would not have the
limit as short as it is at present in this
state.
r The recommendation is certainly in
teresting. As result of the present
short limit in this state the grand Jury
says that two men whom it names can
not be prosecuted for conversion of
funds to their benefit under fraudulent
contracts similar to those under which
other men who are said to have COM
united the same crime more recently
are to be called to account.
Is There appears to be no difference in
the moral quality Of the act or in the
seriousness of the offense, and to let

First. Dry Sunday.

il Minneapolis has spent one Sunday
under the mayors saloon closing order
with about the anticipated results. So
far as has been discovered, every saloon
proprietor obeyed the order and every
saloon was closed up tight from Satur
: day night until Monday morning.
/ While no doubt quite a number who
are willing to confess their inability to
get along one day without liquor Wis
lited st. Paul for the purpose of salts
flying their thirst, there is no doubt a
great deal of money available for fam
lily purposes today which on previous
mondays has reposed in the till or the
Ibank account of the saloonkeeper. This
is one of the most important results Of
the Sunday-closing order, and one which
will make itself felt more and more
Jas time passes.
There is no use Disgusting the proba-
{bilitys that, this order is calculated to
reduce the liquor traffic in Minneap-
oils. The saloon men resent it on that
account and they no doubt have reason
ito, but to the extent that the sale and
consumption of Intoxicating liquors is
ia detriment to the community the cur
Atailment Of this traffic will be to its
general betterment, and outside Of the

accordingly deserves and will receive the hearty
approval and support Of the great majority OF
the citizens of Minneapolis.
That, especially worthy of commentator is the
painstaking and impartial investigation of the
whole subject of Sunday closing as public
measure, by which his honor became thoroy
satisfied that this community neither desires
afford to permit liquor sales on Sun
day. ...
That in this connection the widest publicity

drunkenness, and in general to the economic vel
