dren-A Claim for Large Portion OF
Neutrality-suspicious. News.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia decision was rem
dered to-day by United States Commissioner
Bundy in the case of Alpha B. Beall, charged
with violation of the pension laws in having
taken an excessive fee for obtaining a pension
for the mother Of a soldier killed in the late war
The commissioner dismissed the ease on the
ground that there had been no violation of the
statute as charged He draws a dlstinc-
ton between the taking from pensioner OF
part of the money received as pension so soon
as received, or Withholding any portion Of it
when it has been obtained by an agent, and the
acceptance, at any subsequent time, of a sum
of money from pensiOner He holds that in
this particular case, pension check
having been Dashed by a bank, and a
portion of the amount it called for having been
placed with a bank deposit, that portion
passed from under the protection which is
placed by the statute over money received on
account OF pensions, and the fact that the de-
PENDANT in this afterwards received part Of
it on account CT his services in procuring the
pension, does not make him amenable Tor hav-
Ing violated the statute.

ton and equipment of the new industrial

completed the Indian schools throughout the
country will accommodate 10,250 pupils. In
spector Haworth says tho attendance the pres

eeding year, a result be attributed TO the
realization by the Indians that they must look to
pursuits other than the chase for means of sub

UNWISE LEGISLATION.

The legislature appears to be more at
sea upon the railroad question than ever.
Meantime the values of railroad stocks
continue to shrink. Not the speculative
values, but the holders of railroad stocks
as investments are throwing them on the
market for what they will bring. The very
agitation and threateningattitude of the leg
islature has done much to retard the growth
of the State during the next five years.
People who have capital to invest will be
pretty sure to locate it where they can
control it. If capital can be let alone, the
State will be rapidly gridironed with rail
roads.
The so-called Potter law in Wisconsin
inflicted damage upon that State from
which it has not yet recovered, though it
was repealed eight years or more ago. 1t
was notification to capitalists that if they
planted their money in Wisconsin it was
liable to confscation.
Minnesota can not afford to establish
such re iatation. Because there are ills
connected With the present system there is
no occasion for flying to still worse ones.
The existing law, with a faithful com
missioner, such as the present
oAe,elready affords redress and protection.

A CHICAGO judge yesterday called the
attention of the grand jury to the increase
of the practice of carrying concealed
weapons, and attributed to this habit the
alarming frequency of daily assaults. 1t
is not in Chicago alone that this habit
prevails. In st. Paul it is an evil that
calls for the most rigorous treatment.
Hundreds of persons, more especially
of the dangerous class, habitually go
armed, and on the slightest provocation
display and use their revolvers. Occa-
sionally when they are arrested by the
police for some misdemeanor their weap-
Ons are confscated and fine is imposed
but these instances are rare in comparison
with the number of persons guilty OF
transgressing the law in this respect
Nine-tenths of the deadly ARRAYS that oc
cur are!due to this practice, which connot be

TIE committee on commerce of the
house. in its report on the river and har-
Dor bill, severely criticises the president
and secretary of war for their structures
on the last bill, and asserts the power of
congress to appropriate the peoples
money precisely as it chooses. Techni-
cally the committee is right. but most of
the members have already learned to their
sorrow that the people have a veto power
that is superior to that of the president
and which congress cannot override. The
shameless squandering of money by the
last river and harbor bill resulted in the
failure of scores of those who voted for it
to secure reelection.

Some of the physicians state that there

Prof. Hans Saro, of st. Paul, has accept

By the erection of the proposed additions
to the state prison, ninety-six cells will be
added to the present number, which is 295.
In the month of January there were 287
convicts, this number being considerably
in excess of any previous year. Should
the increase of prisoners be as great next
fall as it has been heretofore at that sea-
son of each year, portion of the new
cells will come into immediate use. There
yet remains to be built nearly 600
rods of wall, before the prison
yard can be considered perfectly safe.
At the meeting of the chamber of COM
MERGE yesterday the first matter consid-
cred was relating to the creating of a
board of public works. A committee of
five was appointed to confer with a COM
mittee of the city council relative to Sc
curing the necessary legislation. The
most important question which came up
for consideration was relative to extending
the city limits so as to include Oak Park
and Baytown. From what can be learned
the people of the two places would not
seriously object to being annexed to Still
water.
An event occurred yesterday morning
which although having its commencement
in Lyons saloon, was very near having a
fatal termination in the room next door.
David Staples was standing in front of the
bar in the saloon above named, and was
handling a revolver which was in some
manner discharged. The bullet passed
through the partition which divides Mr..
Lyons place from the barber shop, and
went whistling by the face of Mr.. Becker,
and lodged in the looking glass in front of
him. Mr.. Staples, of course, did not in
tend to injure any one, the discharge of
the weapon being accidental.

The Democrats propose to submit a prop

avoid confusion or misunderstanding. If
the Republicans refuse to vote for this
proposition they will show their insincer-
