RAILROAD FREIGHTs.

One of the most difficult problems our
state legislatures have had to solve within
the present decade has been To enact an
equitable measure between railways and
customers fixing schedule of freight rates.
There are so many elements entering an adj
justment of this matter it has been almost
impossible for anyone but an expert to de-
termine what is fair to the railroad CON-
pany and what is just to the shipper. The
main trouble in fixing a freight schedule
has been in aScertaining the cost OF doing
the work. Mr.. CHANUTE, who has the
reputation of being both practical and
theoretical railroad man, has issued
pamphlet containing the result of recent in
designations on this subject made by him in
the state OF New York. The pamphlet con-
tainS much novel information and many Sug-
gestive ideas which may prove OF value to
the railroad commissions in the various
states in determining proper freight rates.
Mr.. CHANUTE studied the problem OF
cost of service in the only thorough way
poSsible-that is, by going into the stations
and observing how many men and how
much time it took to move various classes of
goods, how much machinery cheapened the
work, and so on. Some of his results are
most curious. Thus it costs cents per ton
to unload tierces and "a cents to unload light
boxes, The chief reason is that one can be
rolled while the other must be handled.
Iron beams cost S2.05 percar to unload with
tackle and 1851 without. Marble in medium
blocks is shifted by tackle at a cost OF A.
cents per ton, but if the blocks are large the
cost is 1871 cents. 1t costs 81 cents per car
to unload rolls of leather, but S.. rs per car
for loose sides. The description of package
further moditieS earnings. To carry flour
in bags from Rochester to New York
costs IS cent per ton per mile,
or $685. per car, as against $3.50 for Hour
in barrels from Suspension Bridge. That is,
the added cost per car for the rs miles
longer haul is only sass. At the rate per
ton per mile it would cost S4.97
more to take the flour in bags the longer
distance. But car will carry half ton
more in bags than in barrels, which in
creases the comparative cost of carrying a
ton of flour in barrels. Of a similar nature
is the difference between carrying tons of
sugar CSC cent? and willow ware, Oil
cents.) AS illustrating the costs of local
and through traffic may be cited shipments
of the same goods, Toys, at 81 cents a
ton mile for 20 miles, and "a cent a ton a
mile for 44O miles. 1t may even happen
that the cost for the shorter service shall
exceed that for the longer, as when the
cost of returning an empty car is to be
added.

THE s ENGFRRFND.

With accustomed cordiality st. Paul gave
a worthy welcome to the singers who con-
gregated ia our city yesterday to hold the
thirteenth annuaFsangerfest and to cele-
brate the silver jubilee of the Minnesota
Sangerbund. And it has been a long time
since the people of this city have enjoyed
Such'a musical treat. as was afordedathem
at the opera house last night. Music is as
natural to QUIZ German friends as murmur-
ingsme1odyis toJhe bahbling brook. When,
ever two or three Germans congregate to-
gether there is good music. /. Andiwhen 800
or 400 Of them who have made music a
study and have cultivated the talent with
which nature has SO beautifully enriched
them, meet in chorus, there is bound to be a
good deal of very fine music. 1t was so in the
festival concert last night. The sanger fest
has been peculiarly fortunate in securing
the assistance of some of the finest artists
in the American musical world. All of
them are superb, and it is no disparagement
to PATTI or NEVADA to say that an Amer
lean audience never listened Ito sweeter
singing than that of FRAU MnTNER and
FRAULEIN HECKLE at the st. Paul opera
house last night. We are gratified that our
German friends are having such assplendid
good time with. their Sangerbund and we
hope that they may enjoy many happy re-
currences of the festivities they are now in
aulging in. Singing people are generally
happy people, and it is a good thing to have
all the happiness that can be found crowded
Into this short and troubled life.

HARVEST OF MISERY.

That is pitiful story which comes from
Fall River of the operators who have
been thrown out of employment, being
turned out of their tenement houses and
carrying their household goods out on their
backs because they have no money to pay
rent or hire teams. This is another harvest
of the prohibitory tariff crop. While the
deplorable condition existing in the manu-
featuring parts Of the East is well calculated
TO arouse sympathy, still there seems to be
poetic justice in the fact that these suffer
ings alone exist i'll those portions of the
country which forced the protective policy
in order, us they supposed, to promote their
own interests at the expense of other sec
tons. While in those sections which were
sought to be Disseminated against there is
plenty and prosperity. Manufacturers are
beginning to learn that protection has two
ends, and they are now munching
for the first time the bitter end.
But it is the poor laborers who
are deserving OF the most sympathy.
They are the victims of a fraudulent pre-
tense on the part of the Republican party.
That party has imposed oppressive taxation
upon the country at large, Oh its own show
ing, in order to guarantee. as it had not the
faintest right to do, employment to individ-
uals at high rate of pay. 1t has not kept
its pledges. 1t could not keep them if it
had a real desire to do so. Human legis-
lation cannot be substituted for the laws of
the universe. Instead Of finding higher
wages the laborers are being turned out of
employment by the tens and hundreds of
thousands. More than that, they are being
turned out of their houses. as was done at
Fall River yesterday, and are turned adrift
on the world with their families, penniless,
and without where to lay their heads. That
is the legitimate fruit of protection. If these
100, 600 worizingmen had discarded the Sc
ductive wooings of the protectonists end
had come out to fac broad West a yelr, or
two years ago, and have invested their lit

Madison.

Several refreshing and thorough showers
during the past week have insured our agri-
cultural friends of Lake county full grana-
ries next fall The contract for the com
pletion of the Dakota state normal school
building here has been let by the board to
Hall q Hicken of this city. When COM
pleted, Sept 1, the structure will have
cost upward of 800 900. The first term
of district court to be held in the new court
house erected last season convened Tues
day, Judge Palmer presiding. As usual
the calendar is well filed. During the past
two weeks the finishing touches have been
given the new court room, in the way OF
carpets, ETC., and the square outside by way
Of grading, seeding, fencing, walks and
the like, which invite the admiration of the
beholder for the imposing style and beauty
OF our palace of Justice and its surround
ings. The Madison creamery started up
June for the season under very favorable
auspices. Lake county includes extensive
stock growing among other industries and
is therefore never at loss for ways or
means. The contract for the new Meth
Odist church was last week awarded to Hall
" Hicken. 1t is to cost So, 900 and fine
edifice is promised. The foundation is
already laid.

CONSULAR CORRUPTION.

Immediately upon his induction into Of
flee Secretary BAYARD sent several trusted
agents abroad to gather what information
they could respecting the diplomatic SER
vice. and to conduct their Investigations,
where it was possible. without the knowl-
edge of our representatives. Some of the
reports which these parties have made show
that our foreign service is corrupt and
lamentably deficient. For example, at one
of the principal consulates on the continent,
the consul, who receives salary of 81, 500,
is found to live at the rate of SIS, 900 per
annum. He has no private fortune, and
the most natural conclusion is that he is
furnishing two sets of invoices, on one of
which prices are marked down from to
Is per cent below what the importers really
pay on different set of invoices sent di-
rectly to them. AS the exports from this
port amount to several million dollars
yearly it will be seen that the government
loses a large sum by this transaction, the
most of which swells the profit of the i'm
porter, the remainder going into the pocket
Of the consul.
Another agent writing from China de-
tails at some length clever mode of swind-
ling the government A heavy duty is
placed on Angora goatskin. For several
years the consul at the port of shipment has
permitted the exporters to sew two skins
together and charge duty equal to that on
single skin, thus allowing every other
skin sent to this country to enter duty free.
The consul at a neighboring port a few
hundred miles distant was found to be
charging S1.OO year for the services of
an interpreter when no such person had
ever been employed. An American resid-
ing at the same place makes affidavit that
he was offered $1,000 year to act as mar
shall for the cOnsurS court if he would repay
to the latter IS per cent. of the salary. The
offer was refused, whereupOn the consul
deputized one OF his household servants
to act as marshal upon the rare Occa-
sion of holding court and has presumably
pocketed balance of S700 year therefrom
ever since. Thus it will be seen that Mr..
BAYARD has great work before him. and
the hopeiS that he will be equal to the task.

CAPITOL NOTES.

The advance sheets of the insurance
commissioners annual report have been re-
ceived at Commissioner McGilrs office.
Sheriff A. D. Brown of Lac Qui Parle
county deposited with the auditor the re-
ceipt Of Warden Reid of the state prison of
Carl Burke, sentenced for three years, and
Sheriff Brandenberg of Otter Tail county
deposited like receipts in the cases of Jacob
Anderson, who gets three years for forgery,
and Charles Hickey, who gets five for at
tempted criminal assault
Articles incorporating the Minneapolis
Bottle Manufacturing company of Mime
apolis were filed yesterday in the office of
the secretary of state. The capital stock
is fixed at $50, 900, and it is proposed to en-
gage in the manufacture of bottles, jars and
similar glass vessels. Otto Jensen, Streator,
ILL.,, Peter S. L. Wilson, John F. Holms
and Edward Emanuels of Minneapolis are
the inc0rporatOrs.
In response to Adjutant General Mac
Carthy's recommendation, papers were YES
terday received from the war department at
Washington ordering Light battery + of the
Fourth artillery, stationed at Fort Smelling.
to 60 into camp with the state troops at
Faribault from June "a to July 1. The
battery is ordered to march both to and
from the camp, which will require an alb
sence from the fort of about fifteen DAYS.
1t is believed that the presence of portion
of the regulars will lend dignity to the en-
campment and be beneficial to the state
troops.
The state board of boiler inspectors were
in session yesterday examining and grant
ing licenses to engineers. Three classes of
certificates are granted by the board,
namely, chief, assistant and special engi-
neers. Certificates were granted yesterday
to Sol Fuller and M. D. Edwards. Still
water, as chief engineers, and to W. r.
Spence Shakopee, and j. A. Glader, Still
water, as assistant engineers. To-day the
inspectors will inspect the boilers at the
Ryan hotel, and at $50 o'clock be in ses-
sion for further examination of engineers.
Next week will be spent at Saltwater in
speeding boilers and engines at the North
western Car COmpany's works.
