David Ramaley (of the Office of secretary
of statel-The EXPLANATION gwen by Mr.. An
derson in regard to the roads and bridges ap-
preparation law is correct The law being
so long, it could not be published in full in
the supplement, and an attempt was made to
Gull out all the appropriations and embody
them for the benefit OF the public In the
hurry of getting out the general laws this
summary was not certified by being read
over after copy was made ON account of the
delay. The appropriations are not affected

The butchers appear TO have been some
what premature in putting up the price of
meat. But now that prices have been ad-
vanced, it will be some time in getting them
back to the old figure. An extra profit is
great temptation. even to a butcher who
nowadays, is said to pocket all the profit out
of slaughtered stock.

There VIII be some long faces this morning
upon reading the mayors appointment of
the brother of Aid. Gehan as gas and gaso-
line lamp inspector. The expectation was
that Aid Gehan wanted this position, and in
consequence the applicants to fill the vacancy
to be caused by his retirement from the coun-
Gil were as thick as blackberries in summer
Several would-be aldermen have been in
training tor weeks and the lives of the city
fathers have been made hardly worth living

cure their votes. And now, after all this, the
gas and gasoline inspectorship falls to John
nys Gehan's brother! 1t is tantalizing
enough to make the disappointed aspirants
qualify for certificates to st. Peter Rochester
or Fergus Falls insane asylums.

William Bircher-I have not yet received
my appointment as swamp land inspector,
but expect it soon. / have the assurance Of
the whole Minnesota delegation that nv
chances are o. K. and if | do not secure the
prize 1t will be due mainly to the unwarrant-
ed interference of disappointed otficeseekers
who want TO rule or ruin. and who, not being
able to secure reward for treachery, try to
debar those honestly entitled to the fruits of
their labors. Every soldier in the state in
dorses my application, and l have fought in
the ranks beside nearly all of them.

Representative Moore, of Becker, calls Sen
ator Geissel, of Morrison. a traitor-Why?
Because Mr.. Giessel defeated Mr. Moore for
| the chairmanshlp of the so-called Duluth
| wheat-steal investigating committee A
| man who cannot take q defeat smilingly
should never enter the political arena The
intellectual caliber of Mr.. Moore may be
| judged when an incident in the legislative
session is recalled. Mr.. Moore presented q
partial report upon this Duluth wheat steal
business, and q somewhat acrimonious dis
cussion was started. A member inquired
who wrote the report. Mr.. Moore, as chair
man of the committee, and whose name was
| attached to it, certainly should have known
who was the author But did he? No. He
actually got up before the house and con-
| fessed that he did not know who prepared the
report. The only thing he knew was that he
signed it.
