THE Indian war in Minnesota recalls to mind the assertion of Phil Sheridan that the only good Indian is a dead Indian.

WOULD it be proper to remark that the commander of the expedition against the Minnesota Indians has saved his Bacon.

Ix the place of griru-vlsaged war we will now have football, which is more deadly, considering the number of combatants engaged. ______________

Honsox seems to be

pretty valuable

man to have about. He has recovered guns from the Spanish wrecks valued at $800,000.

CojtUKTT and McCoy are not going to fight after all, at least with their lists. The flght at Buffalo for to-night has been declared off, and hereafter with true pugilistic instincts they will do their fighting with their months.

SKCUETAUV ALOEK will have more to answer for as a result of the Indian outbreak in Minnesota. A yellow corre spondent has already charged that the expedition against the redskins went unprepared for war, and of course this was the fault of the head of the war department.

GKNEKAI, JOK WUEKI.EK has a grievance against Gen. Shatter, because the latter did not respect his rank in the order of landing troops at Santiago, but this did not prevent him from commending Shatter for his conduct of the Santiago campaign. Wheeler is one of the notable figures of the war. Before the war he was noted as a soldier and a politician, but since he donned Uucle Sam's uniform he has been conspicuous as a soldier only— and a very good one, at that.

INDIANA can't be downed at any time, or in any place. In his testimony before the investigating committee at Washington yesterday, General Fitzhugh Lee gave it as his opinion that the healthiest regiment in his army corps at Jacksonville was the 101st Indiana, because unusual attention was paid to sanitary regulations. If every volunteer regiment had given the same attention to sanitary measures the yellow papers would have been without ammunition to jise against the war department at Washington,

THE president is going to recommend to congress the revival of the uaval rank of vice admiral for the benefit of Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila. The war has brought many men to the front, but none of them to such a decided degree as Dewey. As a naval commander, as an executive officer and as a diplomat he has shown himself to be indeed a hero. There are no honors the American people can pay him but that they will render gladly, and the rank should be revived for his benefit, if it has to be wiped out when his end has come. Decidedly the most heroic figure in the war was Dewey.

THK confession of Chaplain Mclntyre, of the Oregon, before the court martini that ho was not responsible for himself when he abused his superior oflicors, calling •'Dob" Evans a coward and Admiral Sampson a liar for the purpose of securing prize money, is a fair sample of the class of criticism on the conduct of the recent war. The chaplain confessed that he was under the influence of quinine and brandy when he made his remarkable speech, but some of the most, virulent critics canuot furnish even this as an excuse. The profession of a fault finder is easily acquired, 'and many j»ersons are unfortunately so constituted as to prefer saying a mean thing uncalled for than a good one deserved. Many of these have figured in the criticisms of the administration and its part in the war.

THK peace COMMISSIONERS are not making much progress in Paris, and of course the Spanish members will delay proceedings In the peculiar manner to Spanish diplomacy. If Spain can extend the peace negotiations for a few months longer it might be possible to extend Blanco's hold on the western end of the island for a year. These possibility. with the indefinite additions that might grow out of European complications, afford a very adequate theory of the Spanish desire to consume time in offering Impossible conditions and discussing formal quibbles. This can only be cut short by peremptory action on the part of the United States. The Spanish government should be informed that if reasonable conditions are not proposed and the evacuation of Havana under way by the middle of October the United States army and navy will put in motion to reach Havana and the Spanish coast by November 1, That notification will do more to awaken the Spanish mind to the necessities of the situation than months of diplomatic futilities

done good service in times long gone and rendered historic this old Castillo del Moro. They could not prevent the sacking of the Capitol by Drake, the English Buccaneer, in 1595 nor again, only three years later, by the Earl of Cumberland: but when Baldwin Heinrich attempted the same little game in 1615, they wiped him out of existence, together with most of his men. In 1678 the covetous English made another assault, but were disastrously repulsed. A hundred years afterwards the gallant Abercombs had to retire discomfeted after three days seige and what they might have done in our late unpleasantness with Spain will never be known, as they were not given the chance to say a word.

FAMINE IN GERMANY.

Horses and Even Dog* and Cats Are Now Eaten.

Germany's meat famine is spreading apace. In many places, notably in Saxony, cats and dogs are being slaughtered and eaten by the poor. In some villages several families club together and buy a fat dog, to be killed and divided among them.

The consumption of horseflesh Is increasing phenomenally. Horseflesh butcheries are being established in towns where they have never existed before. There has been a continuous increase of arrests and convictions for selling unwholesome ordinary meats since the frontiers have been closed against foreign cattle and swine.

On the other hand, there is a greaf and thriving trade in preserved American meats, despite the government's obstacles at the instance of the Agrarians. The tinned American meats, imported daring the first seven months of 1808 amounted to 1,964,800 kilograms (a kilogram is about 2 1-5 pounds), against 1,414,900 in the corresponding months of 1897. Of fresh pork the importation was 6,758,800, against 8,955,500 of pickled pork, 8,869,900, against 1,869,800 of bacon, 15,948,800, against 7,189,800, and of lard, 74,856,400, against 47,446,600. The demand for all of these still exceeds the supply, and if the general mass of Germans can be oonvinoed that American meats are always of standard quality and oan be had at a reasonable prioe the sales oan be extended fivefold.—New York Sun.

Giant Chimneys For Exposition.

A lively competition has been started among Frenoh architects and builders for the construction of the two gigantic brick chimneys which are to rise above the Machinery hall of the Paris exposition of 1900. The construction of these ohimneys is not an ordinary matter. They are to be veritable monuments of brick, through eaoh of which at certain times the gas and smoke of 20,000 horsepower engines will have to pass. The ohimneys will have a height of 280 feet above the ground, while their circumference at the bottom will be 70 feet and at the top 16 feot. The requirement is not only that they shall be solidly built, but that ait and taste be taken into consideration, as they will form one of the moat conspicuous parts of the exposition.
