It is strange but true that when San tiago went up Spanish fours also went Dp, The people are beginning: to look at Sampson through the small end of the telescope. Cervera has one thing off his mind: He won't have to buy either coal or rations at Annapolis. Come a little closer, Gen. Blanco, please, if you really want to smell American gunpowder. Mid the marshaling of half a million of men the mosquito marches merrily on, or words to that effect. Then, again, th« voter may tell Wil liam Henry Eustis that he isn't run ning for governor of Minneapolis. Perhaps the capitol commission ■wouldn't find much trouble to get legis lative "brass" to put into the capitol corner stone. The great American hog is beaten for once. The follows who bid for blocks of $10,000 or more of the war bonds don't get them. Sixty-one new postofflces have been opened in Mexico the past year. Love letters must be flying thick and fast Jn the "greaser" republic. Ben Harrison has begun discussing Spanish peace terms. There appears to be no reason now why Hannis Taylor shouldn't also break loose. Here is the difference between the n-.fiTi ard the martinet. Miles gives Shatter cttait for capturing Santiago; Sampson a-ecepted the credit for sink- Ing Cer%'era's fleet, although he was ten miles away when the fight occurred. The fellows who are lending money . to Spain can end this war in ten days if they want to. It Is costing the Castilians $28,800,000 a month to keep up the fighting, and those who are shoveling out the dust only have to tit up the bag to end it all. Where Are They At? Now that the strain upon attention is relieved by the surrender of the Spanish forces in the eastern portion of Santiago province, it can take note of some things that passed with little it-mark at the time. Where is Gen. Gomez, that sturdy patriot, whom the yellow pi ess fairly idolized? We have heard that he was up in the province of Puerto Principe, somewhere in its j Interior, with a squad of soldiers, but that is all. Why was he not down near Santiago with Garcia? Why was he not hanging on Pando's flanks when that general was marching to reinforce I Linares? He was going to drive all \ the Spaniards into the tea without any j help from us if we would but recognize ' the republic of Cuba. He appears to have suddenly lost his driving pur poses. Then, whore is that "hoontah" of which we heard so much until war was actually declared? Is it, too, in the sulks because the republic was not recognized and those bonds given some prospects of having value pumped into \ them? Where are Quesada andPalma? j Did they not assure the country that the insurgerfcs held all of the eastern portion of the island, and that there were no Spaniards there, except a few I at Santiago? And now it comes to light that they held nothing at all. and that 25,000 Spanhh soldiers in the part of Santiago held by Linares kept them from holding anything. Some good, sentimental folk are being waked out of a pleasant dream about Cuba libre and the patriotic Cubans, but The G1 o b cis not one of them. Then there is this news from Wash ington that the president has named or will name Gen. Shafter as governor general of Santiago. What becomes of that other fellow whom Garcia ap pointed to the same office the other day? And where is that mysterious Cuban government that its representa tives are not down there establishing order and taking charge of affairs? What is it fcr if not to step in behind the military and establish civil gov ernment? And, if we went into this war to free Cuba and the Cubans, why is not that government invited to take the job of governing Santiago and showing the world what Cubans free can do? Wanls More "Porkishness." If there has been one condition more obstructive of army movements than Alger, it has been our navigation laws. We have been fostering and protecting and building up c.ir merchant marine for decades by giving them a monopoly of all coastwise commerce and denying American register to vessels not built or rebuilt here. In the balmy days of peace this has made but little differ ence, merely making the coastwise transport of products more expensive, while transoceanic commerce has quiet ly passed almost wholly into foreign bottoms. Now, when war comes with its demand for vessels to transport troops to Cuba and the Philippines, we find not only a shortage in the supply, but American vessel owners making the most of the dilemma in which the gov ernment is placed, and compelling it to pay the extortionate prices demand ed for charters. One would think that this would pro voke a resentment that would make every old protectionist get out of his shell and demand that the registry laws be repealed. Bill after bill has been introduced in congress to give the government that relief, but the shell of protection is impermeable to any thing. A thirteen-inch shell would re bound when fired point-biank against it. So far from seeing the need of re peal, the Pittsburg Commercial-Ga zette thinks we want more of it. It admits that the purpose of these laws "has been to promote American ship building," and it admits the failure. But what it terms the "porkishness" of present owners of American vessels should not be made a pretext for "han dicapping American ship owners of the future." The proper thing for the government to do is "to take posses sion" of the vessels it needs, "leaving the question of compensation to be adjusted afterward," and the present policy "should be maintained and strengthened," for that same old, play ed-out reason, the "saving of the hun dreds of millions of dollars which now annually go abroad" for ocean car riage. And also, although the apolo gist does not mention it, so that in some other emergency the government may again be the victim of the "pork ishness" of those to whom it has given a monopoly of our coastwise commerce. In the logic of protectionism it is the soundest of reasons for not only con tinuing, but strengthening any policy that has utterly failed of its purpose. Believing and Knowing A Differ ence. We believe that a big navy would pay for itself indirectly through Us influence in en larging our foreign commerce and buildinr vi. our ocean marine. Trade follows the flag The merchant ships of our nation would be found in every harbor of the world if they were assured adequate protection, and such protection can only be given by a powerful navy.— .Minneapolis Tribune. No doubt that ycu "believe" all tha puerilities contained in that clippinj from your editorial. No doubt that you would as readily believe that the moon is made of green cheese. There are no limits to your credulity, and your misinformation Is as bound k-ss. You take platitudes for axioms. You blow a bubble and dub It a globe. You build a bridge of moonbeams and ask common sense to cross It. The silly season abides with you always and you In it. May the Lord have mercy on your credulous readers. If you are capable of learning, eon this lesson and prate no more about trade following flags, or the need of navies to protect a merchant marine. In and prior to 1859 we had no "power ful navy;" a few frigates like the Mis sissippi and gunboats like the Hart fcrd. In that year 63.8 per cent of all imports from foreign countries arrived in American vessels, and 3C.2 in for eign bottoms. In 1697 the value of imports had doubled, and American vessels carried but 15 per cent of them, and foreign vessels 85 per cent. When] in 1885, we began building a "power ful navy" our vessels carried 20.3 per cent of our imports. In 1859 American vessels carried 70 per cent of our ex ports to foreign countries; in 1897 they carried 8 1 per cent. We had no navy then; we have a powerful one now. In 1885, when we began building it, do mestic vessels carried IL4 per cent of all our exports. Of lx>th Imports and exports American bottoms carried CC.9 k THE ST, PAUL GLOBE SATURDAY JULY 16, 1893. per <jcnt in 1559. and but 11 per cent in 1897. Of the $695,557,592 worth of both in 1859 our vessels carried $465,741,381 worth, and foreign vessels carried $229,810,211. In 1897, of the $1,714,329, --04S worth of imports and exports, our vessels carried $189,075,227 worth, and foreign vessels carried $1, 525,753,766. You may consult the Statistical Ab stract for 1897, pages 399-401, for these facts. Would you know the cause? Could you comprehend it if stated? Will you lelieve the statements of John Sher man and John Roach and Charles H. Cramp? You should, for they are of your school. In 1869 Roach told a committee of congress: "America has lost her commerce, and what has she gained for it? Simply the right of a few men to charge $9 a ton in gold on the im j pcrtation of pi^ iron. » • * Th.r<; I has been a revolution in ship building j and iron is the material from which they are now built. * • * If con gress will take off all duties on pig iron, reducing it to the price of foreign | iron, then we are prepared to compete j with foreign ship builders." Mr. Cramp said to the same committee: "If our ship builders could be relieved from that (rhe average 40 per cent duty) they could compete successfully with foreign ship 'builders." Such talk had a little effect. In 1572 your party was heading towards freer trade and the house considering a bill from the commerce committee the fourth section of which admitted for eign-built ships of 2,000 tons and over free of duty. John Sherman favored it. May 4 he spoke to the bill. He said: "We cannot build these ships | new in competition with English ship I builders. * * « Under the circum stances, when we cannot build them within 20 or 30 per cent of the cost in ! England, why not admit them free? Why not admit them duty tree, raise the American flag upon them, put American officers upon their decks, and have American lines instead of British lines? Why, sir, if that bill should pass * * * one-half of the lines between New York and England would be American lines within sixty days." If your crazy old party is bound to go philandering among Spain's ocean pos sessions and get tangled up in a mess of foreign complications, go ahead and spend $400,000,000 on a navy, but don't give us any more cant about trade following the flag and needing a "pow erful navy" to open ports for it. | Epistles to St. Paul, j It seems that Victor Hugo was a good deal of a faker himself. He died too soon to have stood on the bridge with Dewey, t>ut ha was built Jike a man who would stand on the j bridge with anybody and slap any old ai j miral on the back. He gave it out some years ago that that disreputable second story worker, Jean Valjean. was dead. That he i had died in prison and misery. The fact is ! I that the old sc:amp is still alive and is doing j | time over in Stillwater. The Dispatch found it out— about his 'being in Stillwater. His ! application for a pardon is now b-tfore the ' state pardoning board— according to !hj sama j eminent literary authority. It all came I about, the discovery, through the pertinacity j wiih which the Dispatch young men gather I news from the -morning papers. Wednesday one of the morning papers had a story abo"ut the prospective work of the pardoning 'board. It told of the woes of one Herman Smith, who has been in Stillwater for eighteen years, and said that lhi 3 Jean ' Valjean would ask for a pardon. The Dis- j patch your.g man who rewrites that par : t'cular sort of stuff from the morning papers, I was struck by the fact that poor old Jean was in durance. He rewrote the item with j complete indifference to the work of the im mortal Hugo — whose writings have no star.S- | ing in real newspaper offices. The Dispatch j said that the board put aside the matter of | the pardon of Jean Valjean for investigation, j The board ought to be ashamed of itself for doing anything of the kind. It ought to turn j Jean loose. It ought also to act In the casa of the Dispatch, and refuse to pardon it. Oscar Vanderbilt stood in front of the Northern Pacific city office yesterday after noon for an hour, and stopped every man that went past, held a brief conversation with him and let him go on. He propounded a question to each one: "What corner is this?" he asked. Eighty-tnrae out of a hun dred answered: "Fifth and Robert," sixteen Sfltd, "Robert and fifth," and one didn't know. Mr. Vanderbilt was making good on j a bet that he made with Cal Stono. Vander bilt said that people always said Fifth ard Robert, and Stone said nobody ever thought of mentioning ths corner that way. They bet a dinner on it and VandorbiU won cut in a gallop. — The Phllia:ine. "Times Are Good." President Georgs Williams, of the Chem ical National bank, of New York, in an in terview says: "Times are good. With the war actuary upon us the scare of March and April Is ov:-r, and we are demonstrating to ourselves that we can carry on a distant war and hardly know it were it not for the newspapers. Stimulating many kinds of business, even if injurious to others, we ca.n have great pros perity oven with a great war, although wss ought not to delude ourselves with tiie Id^a that it enriches us, as it takes from one class to benefit another. The West is fuli of money, having become rich from the high prices of its crops, and will be enriched much more by those of the present year. Tha trend of prices is generally upward, and henoe the fear of their fa-iling no longer de ters purchasers from investing." SUMMER SOCIAL EVENTS. A Church Entertainment and a Birthday Celebration. An entertainment for the benefit of the Child-saving and Prison Assoc'ation of Ram sey county was successfully given last even ing in Plymouth Congregational chuich. The artists for the evening were Gilbert L. By ron, reader; and the Sappho quartette, of •Minneapolis, and the Junior Symphony or chestra, of St. Paul. Mr. Byron is exceedingly clever and won repeated applause, giving a varied number of selections. The Sappho quartette Is a favorite -musical group in St. Paul and was heard to advantage last evening in several duet numbera, each member appearing once alone. It Is composed of Miss Kthel Rourds, Mrs. M. A. Paulson, Mrs. L J. Covey, and Mrs. T. D. Bell.

Joseph Lewis, Whom the I'oltec Give a Bad Reputation, ArrpxtetL The police yesterday captured Jo seph Lewis, alleged to be a clever "prowler," who has recently been | working Minneapolis, and whom is j said to have come to St. Paul to begin j operations. Detective Murnane learned that Lew is was in Minneapolis and might be expected here. Lewis's particular line of work, the police, say, is to visit com mission houses at the noon hour, when offices, desks and cash drawers are easily accessible. Accordingly, Chief | Schweitzer notified all local commis- I sion men to be on the lookout for Lew ! is. Half an hour later a telephone i message reached the station saying a I man answering Lewis's description was i detained at William Miller & Co.'s 1 store, 5 East Third street. Detectives ] Murnane and Galvln hurried to the j commission house and took Lewis to I the station. A burglar's "jimmy," several skele i ton keys and a small black bag were ! found in Lewis's possession. The bag ; the police say, is used to carry off ; plunder in. Lewis was "mugged" for ; the rouge's gallery. He is cftacged with i vagrancy. Detective Morrissey. of Minneapolis visited the station to interview Lewis' He says he thinks the prisoner is un doubtedly the mon who robbed Pot ter's and Burns' commission stores in the Mill City Thursday, when $20 and a gold watch was taken from the place and $10 with a number of postage stamps from another.

In North Dakota the grain crop Is the best known In several years, and as the farmers are getting 70 cents a bushel they are feel- Ing very good. Box Badly Hurt. Willis Stlcb, the five-year-old bob of Joseph Stlch, living at 538 Burr street, was severely injured yesterday afternoon at Bradley and Woodibridge streets. The child was catching a ride on a sprink ling wagon and as ho started for the side walk was run down and over by an express wagon driven by Carl Carlson. The right leg and shoulder ot the lad were badly bruised. He was attended by Dr. Arts. > DR. BRACKEN'S QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH Tire Secretary as the Result M Hlh Visit to Eastern Points, Makes S»m« Important Recommenda tions Minnesota Should Pro vince Its Own Serums The Fight With Cholera and Glanders. Dr. H. W. Bracken, secretary of the state board of health, has prepared his quarterly report which contains much that is of interest to those en gaged in animal husbandry. The re port is supplemented by a report of the executive officer of the board, which gives in detail the work accomplished by his department along those lines which look to the improvement of ithe sanitary conditions of cattle, and the preventive work in cases of hog cholera, etc. The report was to have been read at the regular meeting scheduled for last Tuesday, but owing to the lack of a quorum was not taken up. Mr. Bracken in his report says: Of the various questions referred to ths executive committee with power to act, oily two have been acted upon, viz.: First — The discontinuance of a meat in spector at New Brighton. Thi3 went into effect May 15. Second— The placing of capable men in tha field to give instructions to health officers and acting health officers, as to the b-st meth ods of controlling hog cholera. Dr. Reynolds will explain what has been done along this line, in his report. I am sorry to have to report the illness of Dr. Westbrook. This, while at one tme a serious illness, has been such as to unfit him for active duties, since about the flist of .May. As soon as he was able to leave his bed he was advised to go to his old home to recuperate, and your executive committee took upon itself the responsibility of forbid ding his return to duty in the state labrotory before Aug. 1, feeling that this act was im perative for the good of all concerned. Following the last meeting of the board I made a trip East. During this trip I visited New York. Washington, Baltimore and Phi'a delphia.

Certain conclusions ara the outgrowth of that trip. DRAWS SOME CONCLUSIONS. First— lt seems advisable to me in a country bo thoroughly infected with hog cholera as is this stale we should produce our own hog cholera antitoxic serum. This, of course, pro vided the beneficial properties Of this serum I are established, as I think they will be. By ! so doing we could meet the demands cT our people more promptly and independently, than Is possible when we flpeend upon the bureau of animal industry, at Washington, for our Seocwl— * am thoroughly convinced that we «hould produce diphtheria antitoxic scram for the benefit of the poor and our state institu tions. At the same time I *o not tlank it advisable to produce this serum for com mercial purposes. The production of dlpu theria antitoxic serum is beyond the experi mental stage. The productions of other serums is largely experimental. We shoy.o. h,-» doing this experimental work ourselves. We are not tip to date when we wait for ■oih.et-3 to do for us.

Your executive com mittee has considered the need for su*h a publication, and has advised in favor of pushing the matter along. The manuscript of this last report, from your late secretary, Dr C N. Hewitt, is now In the hands of the printer. It is the lnteut to publish in In ons volume the reports for 1595 and 1896, and for 1597 and IS9B. and to have them ready for distribution as soon as possible. The work of arranging for a license to be granted to embalmera for special work is progressing favorably. I wou.d advise that the first examination be held Sapt. 10. th« day following the close of the tri-state meet ing of embalmers, and that the details for tlhe arrangement of the examination be left in the hands of your s&cretary. I wish to Bpeak a good word for many or the reports from local health officers, aa regards Ihe eo-ealJed May 1-nsreo ion for cities vllagos and towns throughout the stato. The reports spea.lt well for a poorly paid and poorly appreciated body of men. I hopa the time 1b not far off when men engaged in sanitation may be recognixed aa public benefactors and receive some riassnjbl« recognition for their services. Dr. M. H. Reynolds, executive officer of the board, has prepared the follow ing report which tells of hog cholera and glanders reported to the office; the success with which they had been com bated. His report is as follows: The present outlook is certainly encourag ing, but seven outbreaks, one township each have been reported since April 1 for the fol lowing counties: Dakota, MoweT, Cottoii wood. Carver, Benton, Nicollet and Waba. sha. Twenty-three townships were reported during the preceding quarter, distributed as follow*: Washington 2. Rani3<?y 1, Dalcoat 1, Goodhue 1, Olmsted, Winona 2. Dodge 2, Steele 1, Wright I, Renville 1, Redwood 2, Brown 2, Fijlniore l.Blg Stone 1, making a total of thirty towna In fourteen counties for the first half of 189 S. SPECIAL HOG CHOLERA WORK. I take pleasure ia reporting that this work Is sow under way and pracreaaihe nicely. Th© members of the state board of health will remember that we made a start in this Un« a year ago, doing some experimental work in Renville and McLeod counties. At previous meetings of Uie board we have dis cussed the various plans for doing this work, but the one now in opefation has seemed the most practical. It was decided to employ a m-m for special work connected with hog cholera during the MUininur. Dr. J. O. Annand, of Minneapolis, was engaged, and he began his tour through tbe state May 23. H« visited thirty-two town ships in five weeks, averaging, despite the miserable condition of the roads, one town ship per day. He is working at present in Kandiyohl county, where he is doing some good work. Last season I reported a very troublesome outbreak in the northwestern portion of Steams county, sub««quent:y one township in the souhtewstern part of the county be came infected. No outbreaks have been re ported in this county for 1838. but I deem it of the utmost Importance that we use every effort to control the disease tn this locality, because the outbreaks reported last season for this county were at considerable distance apart, and the infected territory was com paratively limited. For this r t ason I havj planned that Dr. Annand may spend some time in Steams county this summer. Perhaps I should explain the kind of work Dr. Annand is doing. We have blocked out a territory varying between two and tour townships in width Just north of last year s infected district. The doctor trave s by bi cycle, going from township to township, get ting acquainted with the chairmen of t>wn boards and whenever possible with other members of the board. The purpose of his visits is to get them to realize that hog cho era is an infectious disease, and to arouse them to the danger of further spread during the season. He furnishes each chairman with a complete hog cholera file containing all blanks, circulars, placards, infor mation, etc., explains their use and gives as much information as possible concerning the disease itself, usually taking dinner or supper or perhaps staying over night with the chairman. He seems to be getting along nicely, and I am particularly pleased to know that he has been kindly received by the members of town boards who seem glad to secure this information. This is perhaps much more effective than the distribution of printed mat ter, althoug-h, of course, it will be neces sary to rely largely upon the latter method, In view of the size of our state and the appropriation at hand for do ing this work. I feel that we are on the right track. This work, if faith- fully and persistantly done, must re sult in great good for the stock inter ests of our state, and we must bear in "mind that this was the chief pur pose for which our fund was created, and the veterinary work undertaken by the board, although, of course, the relation -between the human and the animal disease must not be overlook ed. Emibodied in Dr. Reynolds' report i 3 a detailed report of the work done by Dr. Annand, along these lines. Dr. Annand tells of the success of his lec tures on hog cholera at farmers' insti tutes which have been held bhis sum mer. In continuing, Dr. Reynolds says in his rpport: The old Question will com*, up again this season as to the desirability of forbidding or permitting exhibitions of swine at county fairs in certain portions of the state. I would respectfully suggest that this has al ready been referred to the executive commit tee, and I hope we may be ready to act at the next meeting. EQUINE GLANDERS. I feel that we are making satisfactory progress in the work of dealing with equine glanders. Town boards are doing their part of the work more promptly, and out results are more satisfactory as time pesse?. Minnesota veterinarians seem to be | working in hearty co-operation with the I veterinary flepartmrnt of the state board of j health. I think we are rapidly reducing thf | prevalence of this disease. During the last | quarter there have b?en tested sixty-ninu I horses, ot which twenty-five have reacted. I Those that reacted have bi»en dealt with ac cording to the rules adopti-d at the 1,i.-t meeting of the board. I believe that the present method of dealing with glanders wJll prove very satisfactory. I do not anticipate that we can ever free the state entirely from glanders farcy, but I do be lieve we will be able to so nearly rid th-> state of this disease, that It will soon becom> uncommonly rarp. During the last year I have necessarily had a great deal of corre spondence with the veterinarians of other states who are doing this kind of work bjk! I am thoroughly satisfied that Minnesota's methods are fully equal to those in existence anywhere in the United States. This is my opinion alone, but I have had expres sion of opinion from prominent men iii thJs line of work in other states, to the effect that Minnesota's state board of health Is rapidly winning recognition for this work. I do not mention these items because tliey refer particularly to my work, but I take it for granted that the members of the «tat" ooard of health will bo interested to know how the work is regarded In other states and because 1 think you will be pleased to learn of the recognition the work is receiv ing. Four outbreaks of black leg have been re ported indirectly in calls on the station for vaccine. None of these, have resulted in se rious loss, so far as I have been able to learn.

It was a bjtter fight while it lasted. The miners were not even allowed to bury their children that died, in land owned by the companies, and burials took place beside roadways. A miner, who was dying, was not allowed to say a la«t goodbye to his brother, because th. dying man was on the company prop erty and the brother was a striker "They tell us we are living under a free flag and there is no slavery We are living under the Stars and Stripes, but if the wage workers do not wake up soon one class will wear the stars and the other the stripes.
