A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
II Tilt Between Ramsey and Hem
nepin Delegations.

hSDiit DCISSdSIO1S.
When the house was called to order
yesterday, and the incidental prelimi-
naries peculiar to the opening prayer,
calling the roll and reading the journal
duly performed, Mr.. Willrich took the
floor and moved to reconsider the vote
by which the st. Paul railway bill was
passed. The proposition to lay the mo-
ton on the table was properly made,
and Mr.. Smith made his usual indIg-
nant protest.
This is dangerous precedent" Mr..
Smith was loftily eXclaiming.
Il call the gentleman to ORDER" in
terrupted Mr.. Willrich, who proceeded
that he did not wish to cut Mr.. Smith
off. buc he should confine his remarks
TO the explanation of his vote.
Never fear about cutting me off.
You can't do it," retorted Mr.. Smith.
as he cast an angry glance at Mr.. Will
rich and made that gentleman look I'M
easily under his chair. The speaker
sustained the Hennepin legislator, who
proceeded to emphatically place him
self on record as opposed ito any such
hgh-handed proceeding"
In the end the motion was tabled by

of the foreign mail office. has received a
communication from the postal author
tiles of Germany, recommending the es-
tablishment of 'sea postoffices' for the
dist ribution of German-American mails

that he was of the opinion that the ar
rangement suggested by the German
authorities would greatly facilitate the
delivery of mails, both in this country
and Germany, but authority must first
be obtained from congress before any
steps in the. direction indicated could

ters If They Wish.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE post
office department officials have rescind-
ed an order issued during the last adj
ministration, having for its object the
encouragement of the practice by train
men of carrying special newspaper cor
respondence and other matter on other
than mail trains. 1t is said at the de,
partment that there are a very larg
number of small towns throughout the
country which have meager telegraphi(
facilities. In many of these villages.
the post and telegraph offices close
early, and to prohibit trainmen from
carrying to the nejghboring town or
city small packages containing possibly
information of the highest general inn
portance is regarded as unWise and I'M
Just. The newspapers OF the country,
it is maintained, should receive every
possible facility for obtaining and dis
seminating the news of the day, and to
this end trainmen will be encouraged to
lend their aid.

HORSE THIEVES.
A Surprising Lack of informa-
ton Exhibited in the Higher

ton Exhibited in the Higher
Assembly.
Who pays the horsethief bounty? the
state or the counties? were the cues.
tons which troubled the senatorial
mind. The subject came up in the
Davenport house bill, exempting Ram
sey and Hennepin counties from the
law relating to bounties for arrest of
horsethieves.
Mr.. Durant-I understand the state
pa VS. this bounty.
Nlr. Scheffer-No: the counties pay it.
Mr.. Durant was certain the state paid
the bounty-$200 for the capture of
horsethieves.
Mr.. Hall had similar impression.
Mr.. Bowen-Perhaps the Hennepin
and Ramsey delegations did not under
stand that.
Mr.. Brown-They understand it well
enough; you bet.
Mr.. Scheffer related of an officer in
the employ of the county who had a
horse stolen. and after hustling around
several months captured the thief, at
the same time collecting an immense
DO unity. He desired the bill laid over,
so that inquiries might be made to see
who did pay the bouaty. Agreed to.

PROTECTION TO AMERICANS
They Will Be Cared for in All
Their Established Rights.

1t must not be assumed, however, that
our interests are so exclusively Ameri-
can that our entire inattentiOn to any
events that may transpire elsewhere
can be taken for granted. Our citizens,
domiclled for purposes of trade in all
countries and in many islands of the
sea, demand and will have our ade-
quate care in their personal and COM
mercial rights. The necessities of our
navy require convenient coaling sta
tions, and dock and harbor privileges.
These and other trading privileges we
will feel free to obtain only by
means that do not in any degree
partake of coercion, however fee
BILE the government from which we
ask such concessions. But, having
fairly obtained them by methods and
for purposes entirely consistent with
the most friendly disposition toward all
other powers, our consent will be neces-
sary to any modification or impairment
of the concession. We shall neither
fail to respect the flag of any friendly
nation nor the just rights of its citizens,
nor to exact the like treatment for our
own. CalmnesS, justice and considera-
ton should characterize our diplomacy.
The offices of an intelligent diplomacy
or Of friendly arbitration in proper
cases should be adequate to the peace
full adjustment of all international diff
cuIties. By such methods we will
make our contribution to the worlds
peace, which no nation values more
highly, and avoid the opprobrium
which must fall upon the nation that
rHthleSSly breaks it.

FOREIGN RELATIONS.
A Firm Foreign Policy Outlined
Sounds Like Blaine.

SOUNDS Like Blame.
We have happily maintained q pol
icy of avoiding all interference with
European affairs. We have been only
interested spectators of their conten-
tons in diplomacy and in war. but
never Obtruding our advice and never
attempting unfairly to coin the dis
tresSeS of other powers into commercial
just right to expect that our European
policy will be the American policy of
European courts. 1t is so manifeStly
incompatible with those precautions for
peace and safety which all the great
powers habltually observe and en-
force in matters affecting them,
that a shorter waterway between
our Eastern and Western seaboards
should be dominated by any European
government, that we may confidently
expect that such purpose will not be
entertained by any friendly power. We
shall in the future, as in the past, use
every endeavor to maintain and enlarge
our friendly relations with all the great
powers. but they will not expect us to
look kindly upon any project that would
leave US subject to the dangers of hos
tile observation or environment. We
have not sought to dominate or to alb
serb any OF our weaker sneighborS, but
rather to aid and encourage them to es-
tabliSh free and stable governments,
resting upon the consent of their own
people. We have clear right to ex-
pect, therefore, that no European gov
eminent will seek to establish colonial
dependencies upon the territories of
these independent American states.
That which sense of justice restraints
US from seeking, they may be reason
ably expected to forego.

ELECTION LAWS.
The Need of Reform EloquentIy
Set Forth.

1t is very gratifying to obse rye the
general interest now being manifested
in the reform of our election laws.
Those who have been for years calling
attention to the pressing necessity of
throwing about the ballot bax and about
the elector further safeguards in order
that our elections might not only be
free and pure, but might clearly ap-
pear to be SO, will welcome the Access
sion of any who did not so soon discover
the need of reform. The national con-
greSs has not as yet taken control of
elections in that case over which
the constitution gives it jurisdiction,
but has accepted and adopted the cleo
ton laws of the several states, provided
penalties for their. violation and a
method of supervision. Only the inef-
ficiency of the state laws, or an unfair
or partisan administration of them. could
suggest departure from this policy. 1t
was clearly, however, in the contempla-
ton of the trainers of the constitution.
that such an eXigency might arise, and
provision was wisely made for it, The
freedom of the ballot is a condition of
our national life, and no power vested
in congress or in the executive to secure
or perpetuate it should remain unused
upon occasion. The people of all the
congressional districts have an an equal
interest that the election in each shall
truly express the views and wishes
of a majority of the quail
fed electors residing within it. The
results of such elections are not local.
and the insistence of electors residing
in other districts that they shall be pure
and free, does not SAVIOR of imperti-
nence. If in any of the states the pub
lie security is thought to be threatened
by ignorance among the electors the
obvious remedy is education. The
sympathy and help of our people will
not be withheld from any community
struggling with special endorsements
or difficulties connected with the suf-
frage, if the remedies proposed proceed
upon lawful lines and are promoted by
just and honorable methods. How
shall those who practice election frauds
recover that respect for the sanctity of
the ballot, Which is the first condition
and obligation of good citizenship?
The man who has come to regard the
ballot box as juggler's hat has re-
nOunced his allegiance.

NO SECTIONAL POLICY.
He VIII Enforce All the laws Re.
gardless of Geographical Lines


gardless of Geographical Lines
or Corporations.
I have altogether rejected the sug-
gestion of special executive policy for
any section of our country. 1t is the
duty of the executive to administer and
enforce, in the methods and by the in
strumentalities pointed out and pro-
vided by the constitution, all the laws
enacted by congress. These laws are
general and their administration should
be uniform and equal. AS a citizen
may not elect what laws he will obey,
neither may the executive elect which
he will enforce. The duty to obey and
to execute embraces the constitution in
its entirety and the whole code
of laws enacted under it. The
evil example of permitting in
dividuals, corporations OR COM
munities to nullify the laws, because
they cross some selfish or local inter-
estS or prejudices, is full of danger. not
only to the nation at large, but much
more to those who use this pernicious
expedient to escape their just obliga-
lions, or to obtain an unjust advantage
over others. They will presently them
selves be compelled to appeal to the
law for protection, and those who would
use the law as defense must not deny
that use of it to others. If our great
corporations would more scrupulously
observe their legal limitations and du-
ties, they would have less cause to
complain of the unlawful limitations of
