The wealth of the country increases
fast enough, There is no complaint on
that score, as the plutocrat papers want
to make it appear. The complaint is
that the people who create it do not get
the benefit, but that it nearly all goes
into few hands, by methods that are
no better than robbery.

The whole trend OF public sentiment
is in the direction OF an enlargement OF
the right and privileges OF labor. Or
ganzation has been the agency OF its
emancipation. So long as men could act
only as individuals they we're absolute
" within the power OF corporations and
the employing class. Now, through the
equalization Of power, neither can call
the other master. In organization la
Dor has found its shield and buckler.
Agitation has ENLARGED it's influence and
bettered its condition. Legislation has
remedied its grievances. The chasm be-
tween the W great forces, which are
naturally allies, is gradually narrowing.
Capital shows a freer disposition to
make due concessions, and la Dor, by
urging it's CLAIMS with temperance and
moderation is marching from victory to
victory. Graphic.

Since 1888 ballot reform in the United
States has been rapid and sweeping.
Twenty-nine states have passed laws
modelled upon the Australian ballot
system. Massachusetts enacted the
first law which has been followed in
fifteen states, the method being to ar
range the names OF the candidates in al
phabetical order on the ballots. Eleven
states arrange thenamos in party groups
with the name OF the party at the top.

CASE OF RED TAPE.
A Claim Like Mark Twain's Great
Beef Contract.

A gentleman who thinks he has a
claim equal to Mark Twain's famous
''beef contract" writes amusingly of
his efforts to have it adjudicated. He
calls himself "Old Timer" and says:
Those who think it an easy matter to
get money once paid into the city treas
ury, no matter in what way, will, as
sure them, have long wait before they
get it. To such l would invite the
perusal of the following: In 1888 the
writer of this thought he had Just
claim against the city for damage to
property, etc. | studied the matter
over, and, finally, came to the con
clusion that my ward alderman would
be the right person 10 see first in regard
TO the matter. Well, to him ! went and
explained my case. He heard me with
great patience, and, putting on a wise
look (all our city fathers look wise
when they give or seem to give adj
vice., All" said he, Il think your
claim very just one: but" said he,
you got so and so, who is chairman
of the committee on claims; he will tell
you just what to do" | went and in
terviewed the chairman on claims, who
heard my story. and remarked that he
thought my claim just one. But"
alderman to have resolution passed by
the council, then it will be referred TO
my committee, and then we will
take action on the claim" Well,
l complied with his advice, and,
in about two weeks, L went
before the committee on claims to see
about what action they took OH my
claim. The chairman politely Informed
me that my claim was referred to the
city attorney. About two weeks after
L called on the city attorney, who in
formed me that my claim was referred
to the city engineer. About month
after called Oh the city engineer, who
politely informed me that my claim was
referred to the beard of public works.
After a few weeks more | called Oh the
board i'll regard to my claim. The pres
ldent Informed me, in very poll e
way, that my claim was referred 10 the
city comptroller, John Roche, for final
action.
After a few weeks more | called on
the watchdog of the treasury. He re-
ceiyed me very kindly, as lie does every
one else, | presume. l spoke to him i'll
regard 10 my claim. Well, first he
quoted state, county and city authority
to show me how it could not be paid;
finally finishing with one of those noted
stories of his. left the Office, with the
impression that John Roche missed his
natural vocation; he ought and should
have been a diplomat, for he can far
transcend Lord Dutferin.
The claim is still pending, and l
verify believe that it will be something
like Dickens story of Bleak House, my
self and all my heirs will be long dead
before that claim will be settled. |
think if all the money is as well guarded
as the claims are it would be hard for
any one to do any stealing.

ONE MANS QUEER GIFT.

An Individual Who Can Stretch
His Skin Like so Much India
Rubber.
1t used to be favorite theory with
prim puritan maidens that every person
in this vale of tears has a special gift
of some sort from the Maker of All
Things, which it is his or her duty to
make the most of. Felix Wehrl is a
modest and unassuming young man who
has most unusual and strange gift,
and he is using it by travelling about
the country and exhibiting its work
ings to the people. Felix has
curiOusly constructed skin which
is as elastic as the finest gutta
percha from the caOutchouc trees of
South America. Its powers Of stretch
ing are simply marvellous. He appears
at the st. Paul museum this week with
other wonders including the two Claire
sisters, one of whom weighs 400 pounds
and is simply immense, and the other of
whom is tiny midget, who weighs
scarcely forty pounds. Charles Gold
eagle is cowboy, who tears out OF
everyday paper with his hands alone,
the most wonderful things. Ga the
upper stage Magician TheodOr performs
Hermann'S celebrated ''CrematiOn" act.
The farce on the middle Stage is by
Eddie Edwards famous New York COM
pany. Then on the lower stage there
are a number of bright and entertain
ing features, including Juggler Ray

SUCCEEDS SIBLEY.

Ex-Gov. Pillsbury Chosen Presi-
dent-Appropriate Resolutions.
The board of regents of the state uni
versity met yesterday in the governors
room at the capitol for the purpose of
electing successor to the late presi-
dent, Gen. Sibley.
By unanimous vote, ex-Gov. John S.
Pillsbury was made president of the
board.
The following resolution upon the
death of Gen. Sibley was adopted:
state university, That in the death of Gen.
Henry II. Sibley. the president of this board.
the state of Minnesota has lost citizen who
Justly held the first place III The honor and re-
gard of the people of the state, not only by rea-
son of the distinguished services he had rem
dered to the state Ill most exalted positions
both civil and military, but also on account
of the pure character and eminent virtues
which enobled him as man. He was man
of incorruptble integrity. of the highest
sense of honor, OF positive convictions, vet
candid, fair-minded. broad and general. His
presence on the board was guarantee to the
people of the state that the university would
be guided by no partisan or sectarian infiu-
ences, and his deep and intelligent interest
in the welfare of the university made his
counsel invaluable to his associates
Resolved, That we mourn the death Of
Gen. Sibley as personal bereavement, and
we deeply sorrow that we see no more the
face of the friend we loved and the man we
revered and honored.

A SERIES OF KICKS.

The fruit stands at the capitol should be
abolished. for they are not productive Of the
dignity which should be present in the build
ing OF the lawmakers, but are productive of
dirt and orange peel, dangerous to life and
limb.
Have some Of the elevators in the city ex-
amined. There are many at the present time
In use which may at any moment cause e
terrible disaster.
Give the police instructions to promptly
sit upon few of the bogus reporters who
interfere at Iires with the work of the recog-
nlzed gatherers Of news.
Let the city present few copies of the
reports of various departments to the Citi-
Zens Central union. SO that the members
may study the same and become at least au
fat with the affairs of the city they are try
ing TO remodel. at the present time they
know about as much Of municipal affairs as
a Pine Ridge Indian knows of ancient
Egyptian history.
Let the managers of the theaters put in
force rule that all persons arriving at the
theater after the play has begun cannot be
shown to their seats until the curtain drops.
There is nothing more annoying at a theater
than for whole row of people 10 have to
disturb themselves and annoy those behind
them, by having to rise to allow some
thoughtleSs person to reach his seat Also
print notice on the programme that the
majority of people come To the theater 10
hear the play, and not to listen TO IDLE gossip
OF some of the audience.
A number of people have suggested that II
would be an act of justice if the street car
transfer tickets would be issued good for any
line going in the same direction For in
stance, they say. if ticket would be issued
for any of the Wabasha street lines it would
save many a long wait IN the cold for the car
on the particular line for which the ticket is
exclusively issued now.
Numerous complaints are daily made as to
the condition of the corridors and some OF
the rooms in the DOStOficQ and puStOT
house. These complaints are not confined
TO the general public, but several officials
have frequently made strong protests against
condition that they say is execrable Or
the steps and around the balustrade leading
to the second and third floors the tobacco
juice and dirt are mingled to a depth suffi
cient to indicate that a shovel could be usec
with good effect.
