Openine of the Schools,

The spring term of the public schools will
begin to-day and continue twelve weeks,
closing June 81. With the exception of Nell
and Rice schools all will open Monday next
These schools will not be in readiness for
some days, and will open Monday, April -.
The month of April being one of the two
months in the school year when pupils are
admitted to the first grade the following ex-
tracts from the rules for the government of
the schools are made for the information of
parents:
During the first week in each term, and on
each Monday, pupils in all respects qualified,
may enter the schools by applying to the
principal at the school building. A pupil
applying for admission for the first time
must be accompanied by a parent or guar
dian who shall give satisfactory evidence
that the child is six years old, and has been
vaccinated within five years.
Pupils shall not be admitted to the public
schools under six years of age, and pupils not
sufficiently advanced to enter the lower
grades shall be admitted only during the
months of September and April.
No pupil whose parents or guardian are
not actual residents of the city shall be adj
mitted into any public schools without re-
ceipt from the secretary of the board of edu-
cation for the payment of the tuition fee in
advance, and no such pupil shall be admitted
or retained in any school when the school
room facilities are only sufficient to accom-
modate the children whose parents are resi-
dents of the city.

is assumed by Gus. Williams
and affords him ample scope to display his
talents as comedian. He invests the role
with an originality and comicality that is de-
cidedly refreshing and highly mirth provok-

dered several charming songs, to the evident
appreciation of the spectators. He was
vociferously applauded at times and re-

TAXATION OF VILLAGES,
Opinion of the Attorney General on an
Incompletely Framed Leg
isIative Enactment.

Attorney General w. J. Hahn rendered
the following opinion to State Auditor w.
W. Braden yesterday, having had the perplex-
ing question under consideration for several
weeks:
Hon. w. w. Braden, state auditor, dear
sir: You ask ''who is to assess the property
in village organized under the general Vii
lage Act of 1882
This is serious question, by no means
easy of solution. If 1.-THE of the timeSwere
taken to perfect the draft of proposed law,
which is necessarily consumed in most cases
in the attempt to discover its meaning when
enacted there would be less cause for dispute
as to what it does not require or prohibit.
This act of 1888 is entirely silent on the
subject of assessment for general purposes
and nowhere speaks Of or authorizes the cleo
ton or appointment of an assessor, or of any
other officer answering thereto. That the
legislature designed that the property in the
various villages in tbs state should entirely
| escape all taxation, cannot of course be
entertained. But if taxes are to be levied
and extended, the first prerequisite, under
our system, is the assessment of the property
| to be taxed. This is the foundation of all
which follow it, without-they may have no
| support VI are uulIltlco. Sooly Ou IdAd-
ton 259.
The assessment can only be made by some
officer or body duly authorized to make the
same by the legislature. Cooley on Taxation
1874; ID L. & R. POS.
There being no warrant in this law for
the election or appointment of any such Off
Ger, or for the performance of the duties i'm
posed upon the assessor by any other person,
: b 4Iak L id
that the legislature intended that for this
purpose, at least such Villages were to con-
tinue to be part of the town or towns out
of which they were carved. In other words
that the town assessor is to make the assess
ment in the village. That the legislature
did not mean to make these villages separate
and distinct municipal bodies for all pur-
poses is evident from section thirty-three of
the act. If detached entirely from the town
by the act of incorporation as a village there
was no necessity to provide that none of the
streets or highways in the village should be
in any town road district or be under the
control of town officers; nor that the town
should not be liable for damages occasioned
by want of repair of such roads.
This conclusion is also strengthened, 1
think by section 81, which seems to assume
the existence of a relation between the
town and the village other than exists be-
tween municipalities. Yours truly,
WILLIAM J. HAHN, Attorney General.

A MINING BOARD.
Shall We Have One in Our City of
st. Paul.

The completion of the Northern Pacific
railroad, and the certainty of the extension al
an early day of at least one line to the Black
Hills, are considerations in favor of the or
ganization of mining boards in st. Paul and
Minneapolis worthy of attention; and other
considerations are, that already no little home
capital is invested in mines in Montana, Da-
kota and northern Idaho, and the figures OF
such investments are rapidly increasing. The
desirability of mining investments it is not
necessary to discuss now. 1t is enough to
know that considerable sums of Minnesota
money have been invested in the mining dis
tricts with which we are in close commercial
relationship, and it is most likely much
larger sums will be invested in the future.
We are now practically nearer to the gold
and silver mines of the upper Yellowstone,
and even of northern Idaho, than San Fran
cisco was to the silver mines of Nevada when
the handling of the Comstock silver stocks
made her more prominent and prosperous as
a mining center than ever before. The organ
iZation of her mining boards, through which
valuable properties were distinguished from
worthless ones, and the required aggrega-
lions of capital were secured for thorough
development and full production-gave her
new life. From the time Of their oganiZation
she sprang forward with renewed vigor, and
has grown to be the richest and one
of the most populous cities of the globe.
True, her agricultural and manufacturing
interests, as ours, are and always will be in
the ascendant; but general business never
cI1ch Ell NH NOT NV ha
establishment of railroad communication, as
it did from the systematic organization of
capital to develop the mining resources.
Money circulated more freely than ever be-
fore. When the plan was first introduced in
San Francisco of stocking mining properties,
so as to make it possible for all classes-poor
and rich alike-to become investors, she had
no railroads, was isolated from the rest of the
country, and her transactions in this import
ant field was confined to the Pacific coast.
But we are not far removed, in point
of time, from all the great financial centers
of the country, and therefore it would be
reasonable to expect that much more outside
capital would be invested through mining
boards here then home capital. 1t would
seem that responsible organizations are only
needed to give us as great promin ence Jas, a
center for mining investments as was ever
possessed by the Golden Gate City. Why
not? Emigrant gulch, on the Upper Yellow
stone, is less than three days from us by rail ;
the Clark's Fork silver mines are practically
no more distnat then were the Comstock
silver mines from San Francisco before rail
road communication existed; and even now,
with 200 miles of stage travel intervening,
Deadwood is reached in five days from st.
Paul and Minneapolis. Shall we not take
a step to control the development of the I'M
told millions of mineral wealth that lie right
at our doors!
