RECKLESS RICHARDS.

The lieutenant governor of Montana
must have been one of three TOoley
street tailOrs who resolved. first, that
the earth was the property of the saints,
and secondly, that they were the saints.
Tom REED, in his palmiest days in the
speakers chair during filibustering
scene, could get tips on autocracy from
Lieut.. GOV. RICHARDS. There never
was more ridiculous assumption of
power than has been exhibited by Mon
tana'S lieutenant governor in sending
out kilograms over the country to the
various state executives, ordering the
arrest of certain Democratic state sem
atOrs who have found it both conven-
lent and profitable to the good name of
Montana to absent themselves from
their places in the legislature. Under
ordinary circumstances, it would be the
duty of these absentees to be in their
seats and aid in shaping legiSla-
ton. But the circumstances are not
ordinary. They are most extraordinary.
The Republican minority in the Mon
tana Legislature has undertaken to revo-
lutionize that body, and with the aid of
corrupt canvaSSing boards and parti-
san Judiciary, has establisheda usurpa-
ton that does violence to the spirit of
American institutions. If the Demo
cratic senators had remained in their
places, they would simply have been
asserting to the fraud, and by their
presence would have lent encourage
ment to rabble government. To have
racinnn6 houn oil ,nt0
to be filed by new senators, would not
have bettered the situation. Their only
alternative was to absent themselves
from the rump senate, and thus prevent
the giving of color of legality to it's
proceedings. The lieutenant governor,
who is the presiding officer of the SEN
ate, asserted right which possibly be-
longed to him of compelling attend
ance of the absent members. But it
did not seem to occur to Lieut.
GOV. RICHARDS that his jurisdic-
ton was confined to the state of Mon
tana. He seems to be possessed with
the idea that his police powers are CO.
extensive with the Union. Nor has il
occurred to him that absenteeism is not
an eXtraditable crime, and if it were
that he is not the chief executive officer
of the state, whose duty it would be to
issue eXtradition papers. What Lieut.
Gov. RICHARDS doesn't know about the
duties of the presiding officer of legis-
lative body would fill volumes, and
what he does know could be compressed
into the eye of needle. He is alto
gether unmindful of the fact that Mon
tana has grown away from the methods
of the vigilante, and now being full
fedged state of the federal Union, her
officials are expected to pay some re-
spect to legal forms and constitutional
provisions. The Montana Democratic
senators who are off on brief vacations
have nothing to fear from the irate and
unreasonable lieutenanu-governor except
the petty annoyances which a fool can
always intllct upon wise man; yet the
course he is pursuing is calculated to
bring Montana intelligence into disre-
pute.

some political boss, and glad enough if
he got three meals day and one SIS suit
of clothes a year. The country editor of
to-day is usually man of affairs in his
community. and while it doesn't often
happen that he Is over rich In this
worlds goods, it is the rule that he is
independent enough to provide for his
own living without being compelled to
bend the supple hinges of the knee that
thrift may follow fawning, and has suf-
ficient force of character to impress his
individuality upon the community, and
to make his newspaper an active
moulder of public opinion. There is,
perhaps, no state In the Union where a
higher standard of intelligence prevails
among the newspaper men than here in
Minnesota, nor where higher standard
of personal integrity and individual
character is maintained. One had but
to listen to the discussions during the
late session of the editorial association to
be convinced of this fact. The delibera-
tons of the body were characterized by
an ability that would have done credit to
the national congress, and were con-
Quoted with decorum that might be
profitably initiated by the nations law
makers. While the debates were main
ly devoted to discussion of questions
relating to the successful management
of weekly newspaper establishments,
they developed the fact that our Mime
sofa editors fully realize the Importance
of their station, are perfectly conscious
of the necessity for lifting the newspa-
per business out of the old ruts, and
firmly establishing it upon the basis
that all other reputable industries are
conducted. In other words, the old
machine organ is TO be forever thing Of
the past, and the country newspaper of
the future is to rise to the plane of dig
nifty and independence that the metro
politan press is aiming to establish
itself upon. 1t isa healthful sign of the
progress of American civilization to OBJ
serve this tendency on the part of those
who are fitted by their stations to be the
moulders of public opinion themselves
to set the example of probity and just
dealing for the guidance of the cOnstit-
uency whom they serve. Minnesota is
doing her share in the work of elevat-
ing journalism, and we hope the fra
teruity in other states will profit by the
example. In fact the organization of a
national editorial association, which by
the way, owes its origin to Minnesota
editor, is already accomplishing great
good in the direction we have indicated.
Now that the Minnesota editors are in
the lead. let them keep their position.

LOSS HALF A MILLION.
A Chicago NholesaIe House
Quilted by Fire.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The large brick
and stone building at the corner of
Adams and Market streets, owned by
the great dry goods house OF J. Y. Far
we'll & Co., caught fire early this norm
ing, and before the flames could be sub
dued, the southern half of it was
Quilted. This portion of the building
was occupied by Taylor Bros, dealers
in hats and caps, and Work Bros, deal
ers in clothing and uniforms. A heavy
fire wall which runs through the mid
die of the structure, prevented the
spread of the flames to the northern
half of the building, which was filled
with the heavy wholesale stock
of dry goods of the Messrs.
Farwell. A careful estimate of
the loss made after the fire was under
control places the total damage at $40
600, of which Mr.. Work loses $685., 200;
Taylor Bros, $4,000. and Farwell q Co.,
on the building, 100000. One life will
probably be lost and several firemen are
seriously injured. William Sallander,
while on 36-foot ladder. on the south
wall, was knocked from his footing and
fell TO the stone pavement below. He
struck on his head and was picked up
unconscious. His skull was fractured
oiIu wac
Meyers fell with the crashing in of The
third floor and was dragged out more
dead than alive by his comrades. 1t is
not thought, however, that he is fatally
hurt. Three other men were cut about
the face, head and bands by flying glass
and particles. but none of them seriously.
Not less than $500 people will be thrown
out of employment.
KALAMAZOO. Mich, Feb. 13.-The

were damaged $4,000 by fire this morn
ing; fully insured.
MARIoLINE, Mo-, Feb. 13.-The Place
roller flour mill. owned by White &
Schupp, was destroyed by fire last
night. Loss, 5000; insurance, Sl3, 900.
There was a large amount of wheat and
flour stored in the mill. 1t is believed
the fire was of incendiary origin. Five
attempts have been made by incendiar-
les within the past month to destroy the
town. Large rewards are offered for
the arrest of the fire-bugs, and if caught
it is thought they will be lynched.

Two Men Killed and Three In

Two Men Killed and Three In
jured by a Boiler Explosion.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 13.-About $50
O'Clock this morning the boiler of a loco
motive exploded, while in motion, near
Douglas Station, on the Pittsburg, Nc
Keesport & Youghiogheny railroad,
thirty miles south of here, killing two
men and injunng three others. Their
names are: Killed
JOHN LUDWIG, engineer
CHARLES JENKINS, fiagman.
Injured-John Steadman, fireman; Will
lam Mckinley. brakeman; George Rist con-
ductor.
The engine had taken a construction
train on which were large number of
Italian and Hungarian section hands to
Douglas station, and was proceeding up
the road with only the caboose, when
the boiler exploded with terrific force,
demolishing the engine and cahoose,
tearing up the rails and scattering
scalding water and pieces of the boiler
in all directions. The five men named
were in the cab and cabooSe at the time,
but Jenkins was the only one killed.
The first news received here reported
from five to thirty Italians and Hun
garians killed and injured, and train
with corps Of physicians was immedi
ately dispatched to the scene. Forum
ately the construction train was lying
far enough away TO prevent injury to
the Workmen.

ACHANGE OF COLOR.

The theory seems reasonable to some
people that the prejudice against the
amalgamation of the black and white
races in this country is very considera-
bly, due to the fact that slavery so re-
Gently defined the relation of the races.
In support of this theory they suggest
that in Europe there is no such antagon-
ism. DUMAS had African blood, and
complexion does not count there. But,
however this may be, it is believed that
the removal of the cuticle would help
solve the race question. Instances are
reported where negroes have become
white. One in New Hampshire is re-
called. and an Illinois paper reports a

THE OuILLnRIVRRS

The presence in our city the last two
days of an unusually large number of
newspaper men of the state, attending
the meeting of the State Editorial aSso-
iation, elected good deal of comment
upon the exceptionally fine personnel
of the Minnesota fraternity, as we'll as
upon the improved methods of country
journalism. All the compliments that
were paid to our visiting quilldrivers
were well bestowed. 1t is seldom that
more intellectual body of men can be
seen anywhere than when the Mime
sofa editors are in session. We are
speaking now particularly of the editors
of the weekly newspapers published in
the various country towns of the state.
They are an entirely different type

NOT ON SUGAR.

The governor of Nebraska insists
that there should be no reduction in the
tariff on sugar, for the reason that his
state is trying to develop sugar produc-
ton from the beet. The state offers a
bounty of cent pound, but no reduc-
ton in the tariff is wanted. Kansas is
in the same situation. and hopes to
make sugar out of both the beet and
sorghum. 1t has been the favorite
policy with the Republicans to cut
down the tariff on sugar because only
one-tenth of the consumption is pro-
duced in the country, and that in the
South. This new development in Re-
publican quarters adds to the embarrass-
ment of the effort to reform the tariff
for the benefit of its friends. The
bounty system is an unsatisfactory de-
vice, as the taxpayers can see Just

RUN DOWN BY AN ENGINE.
Seven Italian Raiiroaders Injured
ina Collision.

CAMDEN, N. j., Feb. 13.-An accident
occurred on the Philadelphia, Reading
& Atlantic City railroad at 10 o'clock
this morning. Seven men, all Italians,
were badly injured. They were en-
ployed in repairing the tracks about two
miles from Summerdale. At the time of
the accident the workmen were all on
board the gravel train going up the road
to get some gravel, when an empty en-
CINE from Camden, which was running
at rapid speed, crashed into
the cars. The result was that the men
were thrown to the floor of the
car and some to the ground. One of the
men was caught between the bumpers
and so badly crushed that heswill die.
Immediately after the accident Super
intendent Garwood sent a wrecking
train TO the scene. As soon as the men
could be taken out Of the debris they
were placed in an empty car and brought
to Camden and taken to the hospital.
The names of the wounded are as fol-
lows: LIE Brado LorenZ. ankle broken;
Thomas Nappskaglaw, head badly cut;
