COMPANY G WINS.
Result Of the Team Shoot at Camp
Lakeview.

CAMP LAKEvIEw, Sept. l. - The
sharpshooters at Camp Lakeview had
favorable weather to-day for their tour
nament. The contest for the elegant
gold medal awarded by Edward J.
Collins. the genial superintendent of
Camp Lakeview, to the one making the
highest total score at the 200, 800, 500
and 600-yard ranges, three shots at each
range, was the first match on the pro-
gramme. In this match several IA out
ID" scores were made. Lieut.. w. B.
Neal, company G, First regiment, and
Oscar Olsen, company u, First regi-
ment, made totals of 40, but the medal
was given to Neal on account of his
rank.
In the state match that followed only
two companies were entered, q, First
regiment. and K, Third regiment. This
match was the most exciting and the
closest the sharpShooters have yet had,
the Company q team winning by only
four points. The shooting was 200 and
300-yard ranges, seven shots at each
range, thus making possible seventy
for each man. Oscar Olsen, of Company
G, distinguished himself again to-day
by making sixty-four points out of
seventy. About half of the members of
the rifle association leave for their
home tonight, the remainder will wait
over and shoot for places on the state
team. The following are the scores
made by the contestants in the Collins
match.

THE PARK PLACE DISASTER.

THE PARK PLACE DISASTER.
The investigation now holding in
New York city with the object of fixing
the responsibility for the Park place
disaster has already brought to light
some very interesting facts. 1t seemed
a great mystery at first that big build
ing in the most crowded part of a
crowded city, to and from which people
were passing every minute in large
numbers. and which was occupied at the
time Of the accident by colony of la
borers. should have collapsed without
an instant's warning, carrying scores of
victims to their death. The original
theory advanced was that there must
have been an explosion in some of the
machinery used in the structure, but
now it appears that the men and women
employed there had for long while
been aware thatit was rot safe and that
their lives were in danger.
One witness at the investigation the
other day told how he had called on one
of the men at work there some time
ago, and that, when his friend jumped
down to greet him from platform on
which his machine was stationed, the
whole building shook. The witness
said that he called his friends attention
to the fact, and that he had replied: 1T
is terrible risk we take being in such
place, and if l did not have wife and
children to support | should leave to-
morrow. But work is scarce, and L do
not dare to throw up my job. The only
thing l can do is to hope that if the
building falls | shall not be in it at the
time" The same mans widow testified
that her husband had often talked over
with her the condition of the structure
in which he was employed, and that she
had urged him to stop working there.
He admitted to her that 1t was not safe,
and promised to leave in the fall, when
the demand for laborers would be more
active. But for the present he saw no
alternative to running the chance of an
accident.
There has been a good deal more evil
dence to this same effect. and it seems
to be established that the men and
women who lost their lives in the col
lapse when it came recognized all along
the hazard of their situation. They

the consciousness that each day might
be their last. They bent over their
machines knowing that any moment
they might be carried to their death,
and each night they were thankful, not
only for the rest from their labor, but
also because they then escaped for a
brief period from the trap where they
were imprisoned. All this was, of
course, very foolish. They ought not
to have exposed themselves to such
dangers. They ought to have refused
to work In such place. To be sure, if
they had. they would have had nothing
to do, and they aud their children might
have starved. But anybody with half a
mind will see that this is quite illog-
cal, and does not at all justify their
recklessness. Their course was very
unwise, and they have none but them
selves to blame for their fate. In point
of fact, they are not blaming any one
now. They cannot. They are dead.

THE sUBTREAsURIEs.
PETER Says the People Must Pass
on the Scheme.

on the Scheme.
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. L. Senator
PETER, who returned from Iowa yester-
day, denies that the subtreasury scheme
was defeated by the Missouri Ali
ance. The Missouri Alliance"
said Senator PETER to-day, ''has done
the correct thing. The sub-treasury
scheme is proposition for the people
to decide, and they will go right. The
sub-treasurY advocates had enough
votes in the convention to have carried
the plan, but they disappointed the
politicians by allowing the sub-al-
hances to settle the question. The
sub-treasury scheme was not de-
feated. 1t was simply referred to the
suballiances. Had it been convention
of Democrats or Republicans, with
majority they would have fastened their
idea on the people, and the people
would nave been compelled to submit.
The action of the Missouri convention
will result in delay, but the Alliance
states will all have acted OH the sub
treasury plan in time for the campaign
of 1892. and L think the Cincinnati plat
form will be practically the one on
which the campaign will be fought by
the Pennies narty ;,

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
Unless Votes Are Challenged,
They Cannot Be Questioned.

Unless Votes Are Challenged,
They Cannot Be Questioned.
BosToN, Sept, Judge Lathrop, of
the supreme court, has sent down de-
cision in an important point of law APP
plicable TO the Australian ballot act.
In the case before the court an effort
was made by citizens of Revere to GUST
a member of the board of selectmen,
their most important point being an
allegation that several persons voted
for the candidate who had no right to
vote. The defendants counsel contend
ed that, under the Australian ballot act,
it could not be objected after an cleo
ton that persons voted illegally where
it did not appear that the votes of such
persons were challenged in the manner
provided for by the act. Judge Lath-
rop sustained the defendants demurrer,
holding that where votes were not
challenged their legality cannot after
wards be subject of inquiry.

Very Literally.
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 1.-The press
of Guatemala and San Salvador are
very insulting to the United States. In
referring to the City of Panama Incl
dent, the former claims the United
States was weak in acceding to the exac-
tons of Salvador, and the latter says
the United States, knowing its strength,
is arrogant towards smaller nations.
The telegram dated the 2lst and pub
lished III the United States, that the
president of Salvador had telegraphed
to Ignacio MariScal, the foreign minis
ter of Mexico, is untrue, but the fact is,
as stated in these dispatches of the 18th,
that it had no reference to a war be-
tween Guatemala and Salvador, but to

think as he does.

A MINNESOTA PARALLEL.

Exactly parallel with this episode in
New York are the facts recited in re-
cent decision handed down by our own
supreme court. This is in the case of
NELs ANDERSON, respondent, against
the III. G. Ackley Lumber company,
The opinion has not as yet been pub
lished in the reports, but the news
papers have given the substance of it.
ANDERSON, the syllabus says, was OPP
Grating a planning machine, to which
the power was applied by a large belt,
the motion of which was rapid. He
knew, as the evidence offered at the
trial tended to show, that the fast
ening of the belt had become in
secure, so that it was liable to
break apart. He called his fore
mans attention to it. but the foreman
declined 10 repair it, and told him
to go on with the use of the machine.
ANDERSON obeyed. the belt broke apart
as he feared it would, and he was in-
jured. He sued for damages, and won
his case in the lower court. But the
final tribunal reverses the decision, and
holds that he is not entitled to recover.
He knew the risk he was running, says
the supreme bench, unanimously, and
he assumed it. lie has no one but him.
self to blame, and can fasten the liabil-
ity on no one else.
This. of course, is good law, or onr
Judges would not say so. 1t is not only
good law, but it is common sense as
we'll. ANDERSON had his choice. He
could use the defective machinery as he
was ordered to and run the risk of be-
ing killed. Or he could have refused to
do this and left his job. This is a free
country. He was under no com
pulsion to take any chances. 1t is
obeyed and had lost his place
he might not have been able to get
anything else to do. and he may have
had wife and children dependent on
him. But what under the sun has that
| got to do with the matter? Suppose he
could not have got employment else
| where, could he not have lived on his
| income? Could he not have gone home
to the lodging house where he boarded,
and cut the coupons off the bonds which
| he had accumulated with his wages ola
dollar and half day? What more
did he want? ANDERSON was very
foolish man to put his life in jeopardy,
and, having been so wantoniy reckless,
it serves him right to have been hurt.
He will know better next time, if he
ever RECEIVERS enough to 60 to work
again. This is good law and common
sense. During his enforced idleness lie
will, by a little reflection, admit the
| justice of this conclusion. Working
| men in New York and Minnesota ought
to take no risks of accident. If they
are put in hazardous situations, they
ought to quit and live on their incomes.
Any sensible man would do this.

How a Lawyer Prevented Fore.
closure of Mortgage.

HUTCHINSON, Kan, Sept. 1.-The
Alliance scheme 20 defeat the forecIos-
ure of mortgages on homesteads re-
ceived its quietus, so far as this
judicial district is concerned, in
Judge HOuck's court this morning. C.
q. Clark, lawyer who has been send
ing out circular letters to the effect that
he could defeat mortgage foreclosures
on homesteads, filed motion in the dis
trict court to have such foreclosures set
aside. Aster speaking about two
hours on the constitutional rights
OF American citizens as lad
down by Jerry Simpson, Mrs. Lease
and others, he was cooIly informed by
Judge Houck that so far from having a
case if he had accepted a fee from his
client on the representation that he
could prevent foreclosure on such testi-
mony and authority. he ought to be
prosecuted for obtaining money under
false pretences.

THE CHEROKEE STRIP.
Gov. Steele Points Out Harrison's
Mistake

Mistake.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Gov. Steele, of
Oklahoma, who is in the city, says
President Harrison made a mistake
when he opened strip 200 miles long
and 81 miles long to the Indians. 1.-The
strip is being used by the cattlemen
just as much to-day as it ever was"
said the governor. ''In the agreement
it was understood that the cattlemen
should not use the land for grazing pur-
poses. The Indians could not lease or
sell the land, SO the cattlemen fixed up
a deal with the Indians, whereby they
were TO own the stock, and at certain
time the real owners were to purchase
them. The result is that the land is
being used for grazing purposes when
it should be cut up into farms for the
benefit of settlers. There will be q
grand rush next month when 600
acres in Oklahoma will be opened for
settlement. 1t is the finest kind of land
in the world. There is no truth in the
report that the farmers there are in a
destitute condition. On the contrary,
they have great plenty"

VIEWS OF WASHBURN.

Gen. W. D. Washburn returned last night
from his five months trip to Europe, and
outrivals William Henry Eustis in his ardent
devotion to James q. Blaine, his fellow
Mantle. The senator did not bring back
very exalted opinion of the average Ameri-
can in Europe.
1.-THE Americans, as rule who go abroad,
are lot OF idiots" he said. Europe is filed
with American travellers, and but few of
them know anything about their own coun-
try. They go over there and spend S75, 0Oo, 600
every year and don't bring back anything to
speak of. If the Americans brought back
anything to show for their money / wouldn't
say so much about. that part, but the dollars
are spent in railroad fare and Swiss hotels,
and there you are.
''The Americans found abroad were not
there to study the workings of the institu-
lions and make comparisons with their own.
They don't do that for more reasons than
one. In the first place, they don't know
anything about their own institutions; take
no interest in such things, and. secondly
they prefer to do a lot of shopping in Paris
and go smashing around the other large
CT ties.
Many of the idiots go abroad to study the
French and German languages, when they
don't know anything about their own
Neither do they know anything about the
history OF their country, and their ignorance
Is displayed when any questions are ad-
dressed to them on the subject Then again
an American, after he has spent a certain
length Of time in Europe, usually becomes
ashamed of his country and almost makes
an apology for being American born. The

be good thing for this country to make
them stay there as short a term as possible
The longer they stay the less they think of
the greatest country on earth. But can
truthfully say that / have come back to the
United States a better American than ever.
This thing of going abroad, however, Is be-
ing run into the ground"
~
Speaking of the observations made in his
European tour, Senator Washburn said:
THE crops of the old world are short this
year, and there will be large demand on
the United States to supply Europe with
breadstuffs AS the United States has
bountiful crops this year, this foreign de-
mand is a godsend to the American farmers
Grain will command good prices. Foreign
bankers, l found are keeping themselves
well Informed on the financial affairs of the
United States, ana all OF them expressed the
opinion that the free coinage of silver would
be the worst financial policy the United
States could adopt. That is, it would be the
worst thing for the United States; but the
foreign bankers realize that it would be
nice thing for Europe to throw It's silver bull
ion into America.

LOCAL CURRENCY.

The st. Paul City street railway Is great
and glorious contribution to the civilizing in
situations Of the city, but like the pastor OF
a church and the editorials of a great daily,
it can't please everybody Just now it is the
people along the Selby avenue cable line
who are objecting, because they are not
allowed transfers to the interurban or to the
East Seventh street lines. In former days,
when transfers were obtained from the
agents at the corners, one could transfer
from the Selby avenue line at Seven corners
or at Wabasha street to some connecting
line, and then by a second transfer take an
interurban or East Seventh street car. Since
the conductors have been furnished with
transfer slips, however, five cents entities
passenger to his one ride ana only one
transfer, and thereby hangs the objection.
Gen. c. c. Andrews. when questioned on the
subject yesterday, said: THE Selby avenue
line is the only one in the city from which
no transfer to the interurban line is allowed,
and the residents in that portion OF the city
are very much displeased with having to pay
two fares when they wish to ride on the in
terurban car, where other people pay but
one 1t is very unjust, and l have intended
to bring it before the chamcer of commerce.
There is no reason why transfers over the
connecting line could not be allowed just as
lney were Wnen the transfer system hrSt
went into effec;, and if we make strong OBJ
lection to the present way of doing, think
the company will allow two transfers. 1t is
right and proper that they should"

Have we street commissioner, sidewalk
inspector or what? Whatever he may be- it
is certain that the corner of Marshall and
Dale has not seen the individual for many
moons. The sidewalk is in a most danger
GUS condition. owing to Accumulation, part of
which has given way. The consequence is
that at the time a pedestrian is passing
round the corner the sidewalk may give way
and precipitate him several feet. III the in
terest of the city the owner of the property
should be made to have the sidewalk prop
erly repaired, and that too, without delay.

Gov. Merriam is having lively time Just
now. Between the threatened resignation

to spare the life of Murderer Rose and the

tunity to keep posted with the latest moves
on the political chess board.
