LATER ADVICES
An Immense Power.

CHICAGO, March 11.-Whlle in Chicago
on his way home from New York, Thomas
Lowry, the Minneapolis street railway
magnate, said: "Henry Willard will reach
Minneapolis Saturday to take the first
steps toward turning the immense force in
the falls of st. Anthony into electricity to
furnish motive power, heat and light for
Minneapolis and st. Paul." Lowry said
Willard is in a position to utilize for this
purpose an enormous amount of American
ard German money, and the English syn.
dictate controlling Meeker island is with
him also. Lowry denied that Willard had
purchased the street car lines in either OF
the Twin cities, but stated that an arrange,
ment has been made between Willard and
Lowry to run the entire street car plant O.
both places by electricity.

political affairs a discussion which if it
produce no other effect, will bring out
more prominently than ave before the
justice or injustice of the power Of the
governor in respect to the veto.
That this power has been abused, the
legislative history of many a state sufici-
emily ~attests, and in several instances,
notably in the state of Ohio. the governor
has practically been shorn OF this power.
From the standpoint assumed by those
members of the legislative assembly of
North Dakota who voted for and were
known to approve of the lottery bill, viz:
That its passage would be a measure of re-
lief to a taXburdened and otherwise de.
pressed people-as a revenue measure-it
would seem like a h%igh-handed piece of
presumption in, and a fragrant %usurpation
of power by, one man, to set himself up
against the will of the people duly and
properly expressed by representatives,
fresh from the people, cognizant of their
needs and DESTROYS of relieving the same.
Whether the lottery bill would accom-
plish the object stated, or not, is not the
question, as the fact that the representa-
tives of the people are the best judges of
w u w w OIlC oOUll % u VI
revenue and public policy.
1t is a notorious fact that Governor Mil
Ter has expressed his determination to *
ercise his veto power in the event of the
lottery bill passing both houses; to say
nothing of the indecent haste of such an act,
and of the g~ubernatOrial disposition to
Overawe and intimidate legislators who
were presumed to be acting with a full
knowledge of the needs of their constitu-
ents, it is a matter of serious import and
| vital consequence to the future welfare of
the people of this state whether the will
Of n man is to offset, counterfeit, or annul
the will of the majority.
This feature of executive influence and
possible arbitrary power is one, like many
incident to q different period of our ma
TONS history, unsuited to the needs of the
present day, and ought to be eliminated
from our constitution, for no one man I'M
der any circumstances should be permitted
to thWart the will of the many, especially
when a question of revenue is concerned.
The question of the immortality of any
measure is one that can safely be left to
the people, for if by chance a legislative
assembly should become so depraYed as to
enact o law VIGOROUSLY immoral. it is in
the power of the people to remedy the
evil by removing the cause.
The constitutionality of any measure is
the only one, We contend, that should come
under the executive eye and the judgment
Of his legal adviser.
If, under God, the people rule, for Gods
sake let them rule.

Terrible Loss of Life,

LONDON, March l0.-A terrific explosion
occurred to-day in the Morsa colliery in
Glamorganshlre Wales, which it is feared
will be attended with much loss Of life.
One hundred miners are entombed ana
communication with them is impossible
for the present. 1t Is feared all have per-
ished.
T ADVICES
from Morsa colliery are that 300 miners
were entombed, but that many have been
rescued from workings nearest the main
shaft. Most of those taken out are unhurt
but several have received fatal injuries
Heavy falls of rock prevent the explorers
from reaching the more remote workings
The latest estimate is that $50 lives have
been lost,
