CURSORY REMARKS.

Judge j. P. Rea-It's a good thing
that this senatorial contest came on
when it did. for the men who can not go
to the woods can get work 'hustling' at
st. Paul.
Judge Won Schlegel-Life is too short
for a man to sit and listen TO the Clague-
WaShburn suit
Municipal Court Clerk Daily-If there
is any one thing do like, outside of
working, it is to read the reports Of t he
senatorial contest at st. Paul.
Prof. Green, of the Experimental Sta
tion-The hOrticulturists, gardeners and
farmers in this vicinity have received
from the health officer most magnani-
nous offer in regard to the city otfal. In
other cities they are having to pay eX
travagant prices for just such material.
1t is rumOred that syndicate is already
preparing to form fertiliZing company.
and if they do they will make money at
1t and the land owners will be losers.
Col. j. S. Rogers-Gov. Merriam COM
mends the idea that if it was made the
province of the interstate commerce
commission to simply fix the maximum
rate for transportation of various classes
of freight, the difficulties attending the
solution of the transportation problem
would almost, if not entirely, disappear.
The governor, it is thought, may grow
wiser as he grows older,

nell for supervisor and William Welt
tienger for street foreman.
The council committee Oh salaries

changes they concluded to recommend.
Chairman Vandewarker said: I'VE have
reduced some, raised some, and some we
left as they were" The ones that we're
raised undoubtedly inclnde the salary
of Chief Stetson, of the fire department,
and the salary of the comptroller was
probably reduced, together with some
others. and that of the city attorney will
remain as it is.

Considerable surprise was manifested
at Wednesdays meeting of the police
commission when the clerk announced
that eX-Assistant Supt. John M. Hoy had
failed to turn in his resignation as re-
Quested, and yesterday report spread
abroad that Mr.. Hoy intended to wait
to be ''fred," and that he wouldn't
have to wait longer than until the
special session Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Hoy was seen in relation TO
the report last night, and said
that he had simply withheld his
resignation until after the meeting, to
see if any charges had been preferred
against him. and that the document
(his resignation. had been handed to
the clerk of the board Immediately after
the meeting adjourned. Mr.. Hoy has
had an advantageous offer from the
Manitoba road, and will probably ac-
cept a position in their offices. He
leaves many friends in the police de-
partment and among frequenters of the
CITY hall generally.

MINNEAPOLIS
THE SINGLE TAX QUESTION.

E. S. Corser-I think the agitation of
the single tax question has already
injured Minnesota more than if the
wheat crop had been a total failure.
Minneapolis could we'll afford to have
paid Henry George $4,000 to stay away
and give each one of the single tax agi-
tators S., 900 to leave the state. Capital
that could have been loaned here at 5
per cent has been diverted from Mime
sofa by the Lucas lien law. and this
new agitation will do the same thing.
Minnesota is debtor state, and the
rate Of interest has been gradually re-
duced from IL per cent to and Z per
cent. 1t would seem that this had bene-
fitted the workingmen and that they
were foolish to do anything to raise the
interest and alarm capital.
State StatiStician John Lamb-Some
local labor organizations who do not
take kindly to the Henry George theory
are telling with great delight how they
asked the great reformer questions
which he could not answer, and appar-
emily forget entirely the ancient provefo
which says, "a fool can ask questions
which a wise man can't answer"
E. A. Taylor like Henry George
and his theory, and am sorry that his
Oratorical powers are not such as to
allow him to do justice to his subject.
But / think he has the right theory and
is speaking for the good of the people.
The modes of taxation now in force
make the whole idea of equalization a
perfect farce. At present a rich man
can put his money where it cannot be
found, and poor man must pay taxes
OH every dollar he owns, in many states
10 nth
G. 3. Maben-l am opposed to
single tax for the following reasons:
First believe all kinds of property
should bear their proportion of the public
burden. Second-Single tax will double
the tax burden of every real estate
owner. Third-A large majority OF the
people are poor and struggling hard to
get home for their families, and it is
grievouS wrong to double their taxes
while the banker, merchant, mortgage
owner, railroad companies and other
owners of personal property are to be
let off without paving a penny.
Fourth-The proportion of personal and
structural property in the country, COM
pared With the real estate assessment.
is about one to eight; that is, for every
dollar in personal and structural prop
Grty we find IS in land. 1t follows then
LlldG DH uouUIiHS TIC tdA ou l'hu any ~,
eXempting the personal property and all
structures, the farmers will actually
find their tax burden about doubled, land
the same thing will occur with the labor
efS in the cities whose houses are worth
in the neighborhood of $1,000 each.
Fifth wish to increase the tax load
for the rich who are able to bear it and
decrease it for the poor and needy. l
would do it by assessing all property at
cash value and eXemptlng $500 on per-
sonal property of every recognized head
of family and $7OO on the building I'M
provementS Oh every lot or parcel of
ground upon which the bona fide owner
resides as homestead, and by COM
polling the mortgage owner to pay his
proportion of the tax on mortgaged
property and to deduct this amount
from the assessed value of the property.

PHASES OF LIFE.

"You are wanted at the telephone,
Capt. Tirrell." said a deputy sheriff yes
terday morning, as he sauntered into
Office of the district clerk and looked at
the captain.
''All right" was the answer; ''I'll be
there in minute" and off he started.
This is the clerk of the court,' he
howled into the phone. What do you
want, and who are you. Now go
ahead and have your say. What? You
are Judge Rea, are you? What's that?
Why, what's the matter with you?
Sick all righs, will see that no cases
are called in your court room. Good
by"
Capt. Tirrell trotted up stairs again
and then announced that there would
be no court in The big court room, ow-
ing to the Illness of Judge Rea. His
illness is not serious. however.
Manager Conk!in, of the Grand, has
sign hanging in his Office which reads,
mo Money Loaned" Recently he re-
ceived picture of the regatta scene IN
"a Dark Secret" which was labeled
accordingly. The picture was hung
over his sign, and when a "broke'
agent asked for an advance, he was re-
ferred to the Dark Secret picture.
AS this was rather ambiguous, the pros
pective borrower was asked to lift the
ozark Secred," and the 'No Money
Loaned" sign sprung on him. The VIC
tim generally buys the lemonade.

AGAINST BLUE LAWS.

A Minneapolis German Society
Protests Against Senator Blair's
Bill.
The West Minneapolis turn verein
has adopted the following resolutions,
introduced in the United States senate
by Senator Blair:
Resolved. That the rights Of conscience are
inherent, inalienable, above and beyond all
compacts and statutes. They are not and
cannot be subjects of legislation. The right
of free thought. speech and action ON all sub
jects of belief limited only by the same right
in others, is absolute in every intelligent
being. Any abridgment of that right, fol-
lowed to its logical sequences, will destroy
society itself. The great and only object of
government is the enforcement, not the
abridgment OF personal rights.
Resolved, That religion has only to do with
mans conscience 1t is entirely beyond the
jurisdiction OF the state 1t does not belong
to the state to fix aud enforce penal
sanctions for the violation of laws and obli-
cations, which it did not and cannot create,
or for which is no authority conferred. The
power of the United States government is
purely secular. The constitution prohibits
expressly the right TO pass any law respect
ing the establishment of any form of religion.
Resolved, That we, the West Minneapolis
Turnverein, an organization consisting of
more than 200 citizens of the United States,
tuSTclOIG ulOsI cdlliGSbly CulST our pTOleSl
against the passage of a law entitled "a
bill to secure to the people the enjoyment of
the first day of the week, commonly known
as the Lords day, asa day of rest, and to
promote Its observance as a dav of religious
worship" and against the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution which COM
pels The state to provide for the education of
all children of the ages of from six to sixteen
years in the several branches of science, in
virtue, morality. and in the principles of the
80 M
have been introduced in the senate of the
United States by Senator Blair, of New
Hampshire, because those bills establish
certain form OF religion by selecting and en-
lar day, and because they prescribe the
christian religion as the standard of yir-
tue, morality and popular education. The
passage of these bills would be clear case
of the exercise OF power not conferred by
ti0nal legislature a

DEFINING THE OFFICE.
Another Effort to Straighten Out
Bungling Legislation.

Aid. Gilman is preparing an ordi-
nance defining the duties of the inspec-
tor OF meats and provisions, compell-
ing every one bringing food products,
fish. oysters, eggs and other provisions
into the city to take such provisions to
the office of the inspector and have
them inspected, and imposing a heavy
fine Oh any one failing to comply
with these regulations. This may
serve to clear up the matter in
the minds of the committee appointed
to examine the inspector, and cannot
fail to simplify matters considerably for
the official in question, and make his
work much more complete and effect
i've. The idea has found favor in the
eyes of all the aldermen to whom it has
been mentioned. 1t will not be intro
duced to-day, but Will probably be
ready by the time the council meets
again.

AN EXCITING RACE.
Five Newsboys Tear Things Up at
a Skating Rink.

Five little newsboys put in an ap-
pearance at the Norton rink last even
ing at aneearly hour, ready and anxious
to participate in the one-mile skating
race for the newsboy championship
of the city. Their names were Arthur
Hinton, Harry Hinton, Hilder Eng
strom, John Kelly and Fred Stocking.
At 8:15 they all filed out in line and
started off at vigorous pace at the
word from Referee Goetz. The track is
fourteen laps to the mile. On the eighth
lap Fred Stocking, known among the
"newsies" as "Sock," fell and retired
from the track. The others, however,
kept bravely at work. Arthur Hinton
came in first. with his brother Harry
close behind. Engstom was third and
Kelly, the smallest boy of the lot. was
two laps behind. The time made by
the winner was 4 min. 5 sec. The
prize was handsome pair of skates.

G. A. r.. MATTERS.
The Railroad hates to the State
Encampment at st. Paul.


Arrangements for the department en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic, to be held in st. Paul Jan. %,
"a and 25, are all completed, and the
attendance promises to be large. Last
December an order was issued from G.
A. R. headquarters giving the railroad
rates to the enca mpment at one fare for
the round trip, this being the carnival
rate, as established by the various
roads. As the plan of holding the win
ter carnival has been abandoned, the
rate of one fare no longer holds, and a
rate of one fare and a third for the
round trip has been established by the
roads. The veterans who attend the
encampment should purchase a ticket
to St. Paul, securing certificate from
the ticket agent. The assistant adjutant
general will attach his signature to
these certificates, which entities the
holder to return at one-third the regular
fare. When the journey is made over
different roads separate certificates
must be secured.

ABOUT TOWN.

Attorney Thomas Lefwich raised
laugh in the district court yesterday
when he called real estate dealer to
the stand to testify to the good charac-
ter of the defendant in the case on trial.
TO an uninterested observer it would
seem that the case against DR.. Barnum,
charged with larceny, has brought on
neighbolhO row of the worst kind.
All day yesterday ladies wearing seal
skin sacQues mixed up with persons
dressed in poor clothes, and talked
back at one another in way which was
truly refreshing.
There are some people in this world
who are so good, so free from guile,
that they think because man attends
church he cannot possibly be guilty of
crime.
How convenient sickness is, coming
just at the time when man wants to
get away from his duties for few days,
in order to 90 to st. Paul and take
hand in the senatorial fight.
Clerk Tirrell, of the district court.
has denied the report that his office
will soon be kept open all night to &C
commodate lawyers who desire to file
papers after p. IN.
Harlow Gale has made arrangements
to open an ice rink on his market house
site OH the East side. All he needs to
do now is to put fence around the
place, for the ground is covered with
several inches of smooth ice.
10 Murphy, in his character of Lanty
Killaly. bears a strong resemblance to
'Bill'' Erwin, of st. Paul.
There is a certain lively popular tune,
with name not mentionable in a great
family journal. but which refers to the
operation of tonsorial Artist on the
head of female, which, in spite of its
unfavorable title. always catches an au-
dience, and when MessrS. Chapman and
Moore played it in their banjo duet at
the Flambeau club benefit last night
the entire assembly fairly howled with
delight.
The Minnesota Humane society has
recommended legislation to punish the
killing of all kinds of birds except the
English sparrow. This is another case
of protection and free trade, and the
liberties to he taken with the lives OF
the sparrows indicate that they are
marked out as free traders.
The ''main guys" of the Murphy club
seem determined not to let John Il.
Wooley talk temperance unless it be
through their speaking trumpet. or save
lost souls unless he gathers them in
with Murphy club net.

The WOolleyites WereaRoasted to
Some Extent Last Evening.

There was a large attendance at the

After the address, collection was
taken up to help pay for a new organ

"Say." remarked one of the collec-
tors, as a gentleman dropped dollar
into the hat" do you know that we have
more money now than those other fell
lows up to the other place meaning the

This remark drew out a general laugh
and put every one in good humor. A
number of short addresses were made,
in which Mr.. WOolley was roasted as
a kid-gloved man who was too high
toned to take the hand of a man who
had come out of the gutter. A number
OF men who had reformed through the
influence of the Murphy club followed
with short temperance talks.
