Grand Forks News: The Bismarck
Capital gives its readers an interview
with Northern Pacific apple and pea
nut vender in which it makes the little
fellow say that he occasionally takes in
fifty cents which he is not compelled to
account for to his employer in st. Paul.
After referring to the boy as "a train
robber," the Capital closes the interview
as follows:
When man makes up his mind to
steal, his employers may as we'll make
up their minds be will find way to do it
The Capital begins we'll; it commences
BY exposing the small thieves. Let us
hope that it will soon carry the war into
the camp Of the big ones; and We know
OF no place that has more of them just
now than Bismarck.

tutlng a majority of that body defeat
ed the confirmation OF Mayor Ewing's

delight of the anti. Fllleyites. The

they did not reject the appointments
because they we're opposed to the gen.
tlemen named, but because the mayor
entirely ignored them In the matter
of consultation when making his slate,
while he freely conferred with other
members of the council. Their action,
therefore, was simply retaliatory, and
they now propose, 1t Is asserted, to
force the mayor to make selections
satisfactory to them. Taere Is hardly
any doubt that bitter opposition to
Chauncey I. Filley and some others
on the list, on the part of the repub.
licsu side of the council, had much to

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS CoNsIDERED.
WASHINGTON, April "a The meet.
Ing of the cabinet to-day lasted about
one hour and half. All heads of
departments were present, including
Mr.. Gresham, the new postmaster
general. The rules and regulations
prepared by the civil service commits.
sion, which were recently submitted
to the president for approval, were
presented by the latter, and after Q
short discussion of them, copy was
given to each member of the cabinet
for examination. There was some
discussion of the question whether the
national board of health or marine
hospital service should direct and
control the expenditures of 500, 900
appropriated for the prevention
and suppression of epidemic diseases,
but no conclusion wss reached. The
marine hospital service had control of
the epidemic fund last year, but their
authority to disburse 1t is disputed by
the national board of health, and the
question has been referred to the
president for decision.
There was also some informal con.
versation at the meeting to-day, with
regard to the evidence furnished By
the newspapers, that persons In the
United States are actively engaged In
aiding and directing the operations
of dynamite plotters In England.
This conversation did not grow
out of any official correspondence on
the subject, for no document of any
kind relating to 1t was presented, but
there is reason 10 believe that hypo.
thitical question was framed and dis
