LOCAL LEGISLATION"
How Minneapolis Is Using the
Legislature as Tool.

Editor GloDe.
Sir: In this mornings edition of
your paper, referring to the votes of
Senators Hixson. Keller and myself OH
the bill purporting to be a local bill, i'm
the interest of Minneapolis, tou state it
was an unusual course in relation to
local bills. l de sire to say through your
columns that though it has been for a
long time "unuSual' for legislators to
inter fere in matters pertaining to local
tiles other than those he represents,
my expert ence is that many acts of in
justice and wrong are too frequently
perpetrated under the guise of local
legislation" One of those eases was
the act of two years ago by which DR..
Ames' hands were tied by the creation
by local act of the legislature of a
police commission. This session there
has been passed a measure amending
that act SD that the present mayor of
Minneapolis is not so handicapped.
And now, the majority of the Mime
apolis city council, being opposed to
DR.. KilvingtOn and being unable under
their charter. to remove him from the
Office he holds on the board of health,
come to the Legislature and ask it to
legislate him out of Office under the
pretenSe of an amendment to the health
law. | do not think it proper for the
legislature to be made the tool of any
such schemers. In other words. think
that Minneapolitans should ''stew their
own cranberries, and skin their own
eeis" and not ask the legislature to

Commissioners.
irregularities of Railroads to
Be Investigated by
the Senate.
The Duluth & Winnipeg Bill
Ends It's Career in the
Upper House.

The Dlment distance tariff bill got its
nuietus, but not before a stormy and
somewhat exciting discussion. Speaker
Graves took a prominent part in the de-
bate, disparging the attempt to fix rates.
The railroad commission was competent
to deal with the question. MIR. Hompe
deeply regretted to hear the speaker
argue for monopolists. The state was
almost oyerriden by monopolists. The
railroad commission was too weakened
to remedy the discrimination in railroad
tariff charges.
Il declare this cry of anti-monopoly
IS the vapOling of demagogues," was
the declaration of Mr.. Forbes in the
course of fervent speech.
docs the gentleman call me dema-
gogue?" warmly demanded Mr.. Hompe.
You may apply my remarks that
way if you see fit,' responded Mr.
Forbes.
Mir. Hoyt opposed the bill, because it
was in line with the work of Investigate
ing committees, who do nothing but
call on J. j. Hill and talk about blOoded
stock.
"You may change your mind when
we report" shouted Mr.. Diment, chair
man of the Manitoba investigating COM
mittee.
A vote was taken and the bill failed
to obtain the requisite number of votes

Increases the board of inspectors from
three to five, and fixes the salary of the
warden at 5000 per annum and that of
the deputy at $4,000, passed the house.

vice commission for the state, passed.
Vote: So for, 25 against.
The building and loan association
bill, requiring deposit from such cor
porations of $4,000 with the state
auditor, passed with little opposition.
Mr.. Clough subsequently withdrew
his opposition to the resolution, which
was adopted, and at the evening session
President Rice appointed Senator'S
Pope, Eaton and Ives. The latter gen.
tleman asked to be excused, and Sen

place.
Senator Daniels secured the reconsid-

The senate spent the whole afternoon
disposed of. Contrary to expectations
the Brown constitutional prohibition
amendment was recommended to pass.
There was no talking-Simply the vote,
and that was favorable. Senators may
probably pass the bill TO put them
selves ''on record" The onuS OF its
defeat could then be charged to mem
bers of the house.
Dyuamitalds will have no use for this
state. The Halyorsen bill, prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of dynamite
bombs, was recommended to pass with
out diSSentient voice.
Senator Brown fought hard for his
bill, the object of which is to make mile
age tickets issued by railway compan-
les transferable. "NVhen man buys a
mileage ticket" he argued, why should
not it be available for his wife, children
or employes?' Legislators argued it
was the enforcement of second rate,
and unfair to railroad companies. so the
bill joined the silent majority.
Representative Eastman's measure,
which legaliZes title at the close of ten
years, in place of twenty years. the
present law provoked long debate
Mr.. Goodrich offered a strenuous OPP
position to the bill, and Indignantly

favorably recommended.

said for or against the locality where an

some explanation very reasonable may

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Pension Com
missioner Tanner has received the
formal resignation of Gen. Sigel as pen
sion agent at New York City. 1t was
given orally last Saturday to the COM
missioner at his home in Brooklyn. An
investigation of the New York office
has been going ON for some time, and
last Friday the examiners made their
report to the commissioner, who was
then IN New York. 1t showed a bad
state of affairs in the Office, but did not
in any way reflect upon the integrity of
Gen. Sigel. AS the commissioner eX-
pressed it, ''The general has been too
trustful, and has been murdered by his
snbordinates.' The next day Gen.
and the latter read the report, and
assured him that it did not re-
fleet upon his honesty. The general
said he wanted to resign. II tell YOU"
said Commissioner Tanner, sit was
pathetic. l could remember how Gen.
Sigel's horse had spIashed mud over
me as l stood in the ranks and he gal
loped along the line with his splendid
staff, and here he was, a broken old
man, Offering me his resignation. And
so want the people to understand that
Gen. SlgeEs personal record in the New
York pension office is Clean" In reply
to an interrogatory as to how the de-
ficit in the office would be made up,
Commissioner Tanner said: ''Gen.
Sigel is paying it out of his own pocket.
1t is not very large and would not burt
him if he were rich, but he is not.
There was one item proven, | believe,
OF $500, but that was many times the
of n 1nt Of
small sums" 1t is understood that
Gen. SigePs resignation will be ac-
cepted as soon as his successor has been
appointed. There are four prominent
candidates for the place-Mr. Conk-
wright, of Brooklyn; Mr.. Phinney, of
Ulster county, and Adolph Schimmel
and Mr.. LOngWOrth, of New York city.

RATHER DIsCOURAGING.
British Vessels of the Yorktown
Tyne Are Defective.

BFfttSn SeSSeiS Oh the OrktOWn
Type Are Defective.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Recent re-
ports of the maneuvers of the British
naval fleet contain some matter not en-
tirely reassuring with respect to some
of our new naval vessels. In these
Archer type participated. The result
was a disagreeable surprise to Sir Will
lam Reed, the chief naval constructor
of the admiralty. 1t was found that the
vessels pitched and rolled about to such
an extent i'll moderately heavy sea as
to render them very poor gun plat
forms. to use a technical expression,
which means that the guns were so I'M
stable that they could not be directed
with any approach to accuracy of fire.
They were also very wet ships.
These defects are supposed to re-
suit from the excessive weight
of the ordnance, and it was recon-
mended that the siX-inch rifles be re-
placed by five-inch guns and the anchors
moved further apart. The significance
of this report to naval officers here lies
in the fact that the new gunboat York
town is patterned after the Archer, and
will carry the same caliber and weight
of ordnance. Failure has also attended
the efforts of the British constructors to
build twenty-knot ship, of which the
navy department here is attempting to
build two under direction of an act of
congress. The Medea, which was built
for a twenty-knot ship, has never ex-
ceeded nineteen knots, but has devel-
oped more than the estimated horse
power. an indication to constructors
here that it is not possible to drive a
vessel of that length at twenty knots.
The British authorities have taken the
same view, and will build another set of
these boats of greater length. Other
vessels of the same type have failed to
develop anything like the necessary
5000 horse power, so that the promise
of success for our boats is not bright.

MAIL FOR OKLAHOMA.
Uncle Sans Plans for Taking
Care of the Letters.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE post
office department officials are making
active preparations for the immediate
opening of two postoffices in Oklahoma,
one at Kingfisher Stage station and the
other at Guthrie, where the United
States land offices are to be established.
Several postoffice inspectors are now on
the ground, examining proposed mail
routes into the country and between all
important points. For the present, all
mails will enter the territory from the
north. over the Atchison, Topeka 81
Santa Fe railroad, to its southern ter
minus, and from there it will be carried
forward by government contractors,
over regularly established routes. 1t is
expected that the mail facilities will
equal the needs of the settlers. Mail
for the land-office towns, and other
principal points, will probably go for
ward on the very day, or at least on the
day following the one on which the
presidents proclamation goes into eff
feet. Gen. Clarkson said to-day that
probably twenty-five postoffices would
be established in the new territory
within the next thirty days. If no bet
ter accommodations can be had. post
masters will supply themselves with
tents, or whatever else can be made
available for shelter.

been the policy of the department to
displace incompetent clerks and ap-
point experienced and thoroughly COM
petenr men who left the service during
the last administration, where such
were available and deslrouS of re-enter-
ing the service. OF course. he said,
men whose faculties have become i'm
paired. or whose thorough fitness has
become questionable. will not be re-
instated. The railway mail service. he
continued, requires men not only of SUI
perior intelligence, but men whose fac
ulties are in perfect working order
Men who possess every requirement of
the service are comparatively few, and
are not easily secured, but when such
are found they should be retained in
the service as long as possible. Eff
cheney in the postal service can be OBJ
tanned only after long struggle, and
to remove such men to make places for
political favorites, irrespective of their
fitness, is public wrong, and should
not be tolerated by the public.
