Fifteenth street and squaudering min Q
thousand dollars in an adjoining lot.
The difference in the grade OF Fifteenth
and Sixteenth street is such that the
erection Of building on the proposed
site would leave a high mud wall on
the west, endangering the lives of chill
dren, and seriously affecting light and
ventilation.
No building should be erected on
site until the grades OF surrounding
streets are permanently established.
The costly mistakes of the past should
be avoided and Sites selected where

buildings will not be endangered and

powder had entirely disappeared. The iron
was then plunged into melted copper, re-
moved instantly and allowed TO cool. The
copper coating was perfect, and the surface,
though rough, was smooth enough for use on
the bottoms Of ships, tubes OF boilers, etc.

AN JMpORTAN Mt DECISION

The decision of the Interstate conf
merce commission in the case of the
Grand Trunk railway of Canada, to
which we referred few days ago, is
important. The complaint was that the
Canadian road was carrying coal from
points in the United States to points in
Canada at certain published rate per
ton, but was allowing favored shippers
n rebate. The commission held THAT
the reduced charge accepted or rebate
allowed is in violation of the act to
regulate commerce, and unlawful" 1t
decided that the Canadian road comes
within the scope of the interstate COM
merce act as long as it shall continue to
do business in the United States, and
that it must hereafter publish its rates
OF transportation for persons and prop
erty, giving due notice of changes, as
required by the law. 1t must comply
with the provisions for joint tariffs, not
only on goods carried between points
in the United States, but also
on goods carried to points in
Canada, and it must discontinue all re-
bates or determinations on such ship
ments. In order to escape these obliga-
tions it will be necessary for the Grand
Trunk to receive its shipments in
Canada, and this it may elect to do.
The justice of this decision will
hardly be seriously questioned, and it
is OF general interest because of Its far
reaching application. The principle
involved, of course, applies to all Cana
dian railroads which do business in the
United States, and its enunciation is
important as affecting the competition
OF such roads with American lines. It
applies to the transit trade from one
part of the United States to another
part over the "Soon routes and the
routes across the upper portion of On
tario, which have for some time been a
source of complaint by managers of
American competing railroads. 1t was
not generally expected that the inter-
state commission would assert it's right
TO require Canadian roads doing busi-
ness in the United States to conform to
the law regulating American roads, but
now that it has done so, it's action will
doubtless be generally approved. 1t
is apparent that while our own roads
are under the restraints of law,
it would be unjust to them,
and perhaps ruinous, to permit Cana
dian railroads to carry on competition
within our own territory without re-
gard to the restraints and obligations
imposed by the Interstate commerce
act. The decision in the Grand Trunk
case ought to be very satisfactory to
the managers of all American railroads
with which the roads OF Canada COM
pete. 1t is an assurance to them that
the commission will go as far as its
authority will allow in giving them
protection.

"A Bir DalxOf,,n.

Major A. w. Edwards, of the Fargo, Oak,
Argus, and G. G. Schuyler, cashier of the
Citizens National bank of Fargo, are at the
Millard.
Major Edwards is the best known news
paper man in Dakota. He is character.
The stories that have been written about
him would fill volumes. The major tips the
scales at 325 pounds, but that fact don't
bother him and he is as clipper as school
boy. He has been a power in Dakota politics
in the past and really is now, although he
and the Argus were rather knocked out at
the last elections. But the major, like truth
crushed to earth will rise again, and he and
his Argus still cut very big figure in North
Dakota.
Speaking OF the political situation in
that coming state, the major said that
Gopthill Mendenhall and Hansborough are
the most prominent candidates for the gu
bornatorial Chair. Elk XGovernor Ordway,
he of capital commission fame, has been
spoken of in connection with the office, but
the major doesn't think that he's candid
ate. Ex-Governor Pierce and Harrison
Allen, he thinks, will be sent to the senate
but as to who will go to the lower house he
is not so positive, as locality will have much
to do with that. He says there will be
lively times in the territory this year.

A LETTER of Mr.. Gladstone, written

A LETTER of Mr.. Gladstone, written
to gentl eman in Buffalo, acknowledge

memorial expressing sympathy with the

OF which the 'grand old man" notes

has most at heart, expressing the opinion
that were an opportunity now offered
England she would record a verdict de-
cisively in accord with those of the
other portions of the United Kingdom
and OF the Anglo Saxon race at large.
Referring to the centennial anniversary
of the Inauguration of George Wash
ington, regarding which he had re-
ceived requests ''to intimate au assur-
ance of my participation in your ma
tional joy," Mr.. Gladstone eloquently
says: ''It is real and grateful par
ticipation, for the statesmen OF the
American revolution have taken their
place once for all among the greatest
political Instructors of the world.
George Washington was their ac-
knowledged and illustrious head, and
to him and them have long felt that /
owed no trivial part Of my own public
education. Long, without limit of
length, may that union flourish under
the blessing and favor of God, with the
foundation OF which their names are

THE COUNTY HOsPlTAL,

The whole trouble about the county
hospital is in the fact that the county
commissioners have departed from the
usual business methods in the letting
Of the contract and in the supervision
of the work.
While law and usage require the
commissioners to let contracts for pub
lie work to the lowest responsible bid
der, they are expected to exercise their
judgment as to the responsibility of
competing contractors and their repu-
tation for doing good work.
If the contract had been awarded to
John f. Coots, the Withnells. Ittner
Brothers or half dozen other builders
we could name, there would have been
no more danger of the hospital arches
tumbling down than there is of the
commissioners being buried under the
walls of the court house.
Walsh and Ryan had never built q
public building anywhere, and for that
matter are not known to have
constructed any large building
worthy of the name. The
commissioners knew this when they
awarded the contract just as we'll as
they do now.
Architect Myers plans for the hos
pital are probably as complete and per-
feet as were his plans for the court
house. If the contractors had followed
out the plans and the building
had been constructed in a first
class, workmanlilse manner, out
of the material designated in the
specifications, we doubt whether there
would have been any defect in the
building. Architect Myers has shown
himself to be very indifferent III regard
to this building, and he cannot be ex-
cused for neglecting to respond to the
calls of the commissioners, when in
their opinion, his personal advice was
desired
But the blame for wretched construc-
tion and lack of vigiiant supervision
cannot justly be placed on his shoulders.
