WANTS HEAVY DAMAGES.
Editor Paradis Brings Suit
Against the Pioneer Press

Against the Pioneer Press.
E. a. Paradis, of the Midway News has
instituted all action against the Pioneer
Press to recover $1,000 damages for defama-
ton of character. The suit grows out Of
structures made against the State Editorial
association by the Pioneer Press relative to
publishing the general laws of the
state in a supplement and circulated
with the newspapers of the state. The cost
of preparation of the supplement by the
Pioneer Press two years ago was though to
be eXtortionate and the editorial association
printed The laws in the form of a supplement
as a cooperative movement, adjusting the
expenses pro rata. In his complaint Paradis
alleges that the Northwestern Newspaper
I mon is an adjunct of the Pioneer Press,
and that III 1889 about 200 editors
and publishers of newspapers, believing
that said Northwestern Newspaper Union
was charging, had charged, did charge and
would charge much larger sum of money
for the printing of said session laws, as afore
said, than the actual cost of said printing.
and desiring and intending to save said ex-
cesslve cost and expense 10 and for them
selves, did in 1889 organize a committee on
printing of said association of said editors,
publishers and newspapers which was to be,
was, ever since has been, and now is. actually
known as and actually is said printing com
mlttee OF The Minnesota Editors and Pub
fishers Association OF Minnesota
Paradis alleges that as secretary of the edi-
torial association and chairman of d special
committee of the organization he has been
at all times and now is active and Jealous in
advancing the welfare and objects of said
association and especially in resisting the
extortionate demands and charges of said
Northwestern Newspaper Union for the
printing of said session laws.
II is further asserted that the Northwestern
Newspaper Union did concoct print issue
and generally circulate through said state of
Minnesota, and especially among the mem
bers of said association, false, defaInatory,
malicious, absurd and unprovoked printed
publication and circular, or supplement-,
wherein and whereby this plaintiff was di-
rectly and by implication and in
nuendo accused and charged with publishing
and circulating throughout said state
circular or supplement containing alleged
extracts from other newspapers of said state,
opposing or claiming to oppose said Mime
sofa Editors and Publishers association in
the printing of said session laws of SAID
present session of said legislature. and to
favor the publication and printing thereof by
said Northwestern Newspaper union.'
That the complainant has incurred the i'll
will of his associates and been brought into
disrepute among his fellow-editors because
of the publication TO his damage in the sum
of 5000.

LOANS ON CHATTEI.s-

Inc GLOBE, IN advocating an interest
bill of this character, does not overlook
the wrongs which are done the Door by
those who prey on their necessities.
But the DAVIS bill does not affect them.
nor in general do they seem 10 have apy
vigorous spokesman in either house Of
the present legislature. The rates which
pawnbrokers may charge are not regu-
lated by the general uSury law. and the
heavy tribute which they exact from
the men and the women who are ZOO
weak to resist their demands and too
poor to secure redress can still be
levied. This branch of the usury prob
lem is a study by itself Once in a while
the horror of it is ventilated in a court
of law, and the public stands aghast at
what the needy are forced to endure.
People who loan money Oh chattelS say
in their own defense that high rates are
inevitable, because the risks of the bust
ness are so great and the security so I'M
certain. They claim that even with all
they charge there is not more than a fair
return to them for the use of their CAPT.
tai and for the time and attention they
have to give to watching it. There
probably is something in this. but it
does not afford any solution of the
trouble. And in general. here as else
where, legislation seems to have ac-
complished little for the relief of the
uameless oppressed. In the East, ef.

THEIR BUSINESS DAMAGED.
But the Short Lines Will Maintain
Their Stiff Fares,

The report was circulated yesterday that
the Great Northern and Milwaukee short
lines had decided to cut their interurban
rates to just one-half the present fare on
May ]. The reason alleged was the encroach-
ment of the electric line on interurban travel.
The latter lire has, since its opening, been
carrying more people than accommodations
are provided for. Every car has been crowded
every day, and although cars are run every
ten minutes now, it is found utterly lmpos-
sible with the present service to carry all the
people who want to ride. A representative
of the GLOBE yesterday called on General
Messenger Agent Whitney, of the Great
Northern, with a view TO discovering the
truth of the rumor that reduction in fares
is to be made. That gentleman remarked
that he had been approached any number of
tunes on the same subject. Every few days
there was new rumor concerning the in
tentions of the Great Northern in the matter
of interurban fares.
There is nothing in the story he said;
nothing at all; the short lines will make no
change IN fares between the cities, as has
been already stated several times
1T seems that the tremendous business
done by the electric road must certainly dam
age that of the short lines at present rates.

THE USURY BILL.

1t looks little bit sQually for that
drastic and unwise measure, the DAVIS
usury bill. 1t went through the senate
opposed by many of the best men. and
supported by others under protest, and
only i'll response to what they believed
60 be the wishes Of their constituents.
The BULL bill, which effects no more
radical change in the existing law than
to reduce the legal rate frOm to per
cent, and the contract rate from 10 to s
per cent was adopted in the house by
an overwhelming majority. The DAVIS
bill is now awaiting consideration in
the house, and. the BULL bill is await
ing consideration i'll the senate.
People who have tested the temper of
the house say that the DAVIS bill can
not pull through there. The represent
atives are as earnest in their desire for
cheap money as any one can be, but
they have heard from home since the
legislature has been in session, and they
have very authentic information that to
make money hard to get is not the way
TO make it cheap. There is no doubt at
all that the mOnstrous attempt under
taken in the DAVIS bill, to compel men
TO work for nothing and to hold an in
nocent nonresident responsible for the
dishonesty of his local representative,
even though he does not sanction it, and
gets no profit from it, has already
checked the free income of foreign
money to Minnesota. OF all times under
the sun. the last few months have been
the most unhappy for agitation on such
subject. 1t is as though men should
strike for higher wages when there was
nothing doing in their trade, and when
even the most Skillful could find no en-
pioyment because no one needed his
services. If there were any sense at all
III usury laws, the time to pass them is
when money is so plentiful that it is a
drug in the market. But when man
cannot borrow at 20per cent, what sense
is there i'll making it a crime for him to
borrow at 10?
If the house will not pass the DAVIS
bill, nor the senate the BULL bill. this
session will go by with no legislation on
this question. That would seem to be
a very desirable outcome. The popular
mind does not appear to be ripe for the
wiSest treatment of this great problem
at present. All this debating will not
be in vain if it opens mems eyes to see
what would be the ideal interest statute.
In this it would he provided that money
should bear interestat some rate, ), 6 or
z per cent per annum, as the legislature
should think best, unless the parties to
the transaction should contract other
wise. This would be sufficient.
