With the conflicting documents as
they now stand Senator Barr is placed
in very embarrassing position, and
the only way to relieve this predicament
is for conference committee of capable
gentlemen representing alike the Coun-
ell and Board of Trade, to get together
and present such change and additions
to the present charter as the condition
of things demands. If this cannot be
done mass meeting of citizens should
be called, clear and comprehensive
statement of matters made, and COM
mittee of thoroughly active business
men chosen to revise the charter and
back Senator Barr up in securing its
passage. It is now time that something
be- done. Chickering's and personal jealou-
sizes should be:relegated to the rear; In
dividual interests should be discarded
and for once the common veal should
have precedence.

The only Craftsmanship of committees
accorded Republican Senators by the
Democral-Alliancec combine are the un-
important ones of Library, Indian AT
fairs, Geological Survey, Military Affairs
and Federal Relations-a total of five.
There are forty-one committees in all.
With 26 Republicans, Is Democrats and
Is Alliance, the former are accorded
chairmanships of one-eighth of the COM
2nittees and not a majority on single
sone. Such gross injustice was never be-
fore perpetrated in any legislature in
this country. The Democrats with a
membership of only trife more than
half of that Of the Republicans get the
chairmanshi of twenty of the most i'm

with the Republicans, is given the chair

THE EDITORS MEETING

On the 18th of February the Editors
and Publishers Association of Minnesota
will meet in annual session at the Cham
Der of Commerce in st. Paul, and the
session promises to be the most inter-
esting, instructlveand promotjve of good
to the fraternity and the general public
of any within the history of the organi-
zation.
The country newspaper is closer to
the people than any other known news
dispensing agency. 1t is in q position to
more accurately judge of the wants of
the people, to more correctly reflect
the sentiments of the the public, and to
more thoroughly understand the vicis-
STUDIES, of life to which the mass of the
people are subjected. The country edi-
tor is thoroughly in touch with the pub
lie pulse, and through the agency of his
paper and by the combined efforts of
the country press are the great evils of
monopolies, combinations and kindred
associations brought to answer before
the tribunal of justice. The country
press makes and unmakes men. Itpoints
out the wrong-doings of great corpo-
rations and paves the way for the tri-
umph of justice and right. 1t oftimes
deters man from evil through It's power
to hold him up to public contempt and
righteous punishment. 1t aids in the
elevation of society, and not infre-
quently it is the direct cause of the refor-
nation of the fallen. In short, it Is an
indispensable adjunct to any and every
enlightened community, and public
educator found in no other agency.
1t too often happens that the county
or home paper is not appreciated as it
merits. The business men neglect to
accord it that hearty and substantial
support so essential to life it's editor
richly deserves through his lndefatigable
labors for the advancement of the ma
terial and commercial interests of his
town. He is, as has been too often and
truly said, the hardest worked, poorest
paid and most scantily fed individual in
the community and yet take the paper
away and see how quickly move would
be made to fill its place. In these days
of progress and enlightenment, news
paper is absolutely indispensable to a
town that has present or hopes for

THE st. Paul NeUs, the acknowledged
leading Alliance paper of the state, says
shat the Alliance must repudiate DON
nelly or die. The reputation seems to
have come on the other side. So far as
dicernable Mr.. Donnelly has repudia-
ted the Alliance and led the whole batch
of Senators of that organization into
the Democratic fold. But perhaps they
we're willing to be made martyrs of for
the sake of defeating the Republicans.
1t has been generally felt that the AL
7jance was only the tail of the Democra-
sic kite, and recent events do not seem
80 strengthen the contrary view.

THE HARVEST TRUST.

The collapse of the Harvest Trust, one
of, if not the greatest combines ever at.
Sempted in this or any other country,
will be received with feelings of relief
ny the public, for it may be taken as a
determination, In part at least, by capt.
salists to regards the legal obstacles placed
an the way of such unwarranted concen-
Grafton of monopolistic power as was un-
ydertaken in this deal.
While the farmers could bave been
g1rotectdand saved vast sum of money
annually through such Capitalization
of business interests as that proposed by
the Harvest Companies, it is not saying
too much to assert that such would not
have resulted. Every farmer would
have been placed at the mercy of the
CORPORATION and if history counts for
Sught, they would have been ground
down to the limit of endurance, and be-
yond all reason. Last year the price
of harYesters ranged from $40 to Sl45,
ssnd when the trust was first formed it
was given out that the price for next
wear would be uniform at $l35. All can
vassers were to be withdrawn from the
field and general agencies were to be
largely decreased. At low estimate,
100 men would have been thrown out
of employment, and the saving of ex-
sense to maintain this vast army would
have aggregated several millions of dol
lars during the season. Bnt instead of
this saving being divided with the far
rners it would all have been put into the
Golfers of the combine, and:by just go
MHch swelled the net revenue of the
corporation stockholders.
The profit on harvester is over 200
esar cent, and if every machine sent
sat was absolutely sure to be paid for,
the selling PAIGE could and would be
greatly reduced from what it has been.
From one of the best informed machine
men in the Northwest, we have been
told that, take all the harvesters sold in
this county, only two out of three are
Daid for. In other words, one third of
all the harvesters put into the field fail
TO make a single dollars return to the
manufacturer. If this be the case, and
It is probably true, those who do pay
for what they get must necessarily pay
an extravagant profit. The reason as
signed for such great per centage of
loss is through the eagerness Of agents
to excel In sales on the one hand and
the dishonesty of many purchasers on
the other.
While the tendency is unquestionably
coward the absorption of small manu-
factories by the larger ones, and the
'5undling together of great capital for
the monopoly of trade in certain
branches, it cannot be denied that it
hodes no good in the long run. 1t is only
natural for men to become avaricious,
and added wealth and power renders
them little less than autocrats where the
Siner sensibilities of nature are lacking
IN their composition.

CHARTER REVISION

The substance of the more important
features of the charter amendments and
revision by the committee of the Coun-
eli and Board of Trade having been
given TO the public, it is found that both
reports contain weak as well as strong
points, and a conference committee
should now be appointed to the end
that the very best provisions of both re-
ports may be embodied in one and de-
livered to Senator Barr for legislative
endorsement.
The Councils recommendation for a
Board of Public Works is radically diff
ferent from the present law. in that it
vests the entire powers in the hands of
one member-simply leaving the other
two members without any duties to per-
form other than to assist in levying as
sessments, making condemnations and
to act as advisors upon petitions for new
roads, etc. The one member Of the
Board is to receive a compensation of
$500 per year while the other two are to
receive but $50 each. The retiring May
or is to appoint the Board. Provision
should be made requiring such appoint,
ment to be made at least 80 days before
election, for by this means mayor who
seeks reelection will be able to demon
strate his fitness or otherwise for q con-
tinuance of power through the choice
he may make of men occupying place
on commission of the importance of
that of the Board of Public Works. The
City Recorder is to act as Clerk of the
Board as at present, but his salary is
fixed at 500 instead of $500. Through
these proposed changes the city will
save an expense of $1100.
The Board of Trade committee
would haye the Board continue
as at present at the same salary,
but instead of paying the city
Recorder $500 per year to act as clerk,
the Board will elect one of it's own
members clerk without compensation
other than his stated salary of $500 per
year. The duties of the Board are en-
larged as they should be If it is to be
continued. The water works will come
under it's supervision; it Is to employ all
labor, make all contracts for material,
etc., necessary for street work, and per-
form much other work which now comes
within the province of the council.
The city attorney should be made
elective, same as the Mayor, Municipal
and Special judges and City Recorder.
He is as much an official of the city as
any other officer and quite as important.
1t would take from the council all char
ges of favoritism and relieve the Nav
or from what has too often happened in
the past, of prostituting his office to the
level of a suppliant for favors at the
hands of the body over whom he has
been chosen to preside.
The Board of Trade Committee should
be supported in their recommendation
for six wards. 1t is much better to
have this number of wards than six
precincts, as each ward would then be

future. It can always be relied upon to
show up the advantages of its own num-
cipality and no task is too gre,t for it to
undertake if good is to result.
At these annual gatherings of men,
bers of the fraternity, the various towns
represented are reflected though the
very visages of the editors, and each
member can be depended upon to de-
fend his people with all the mental and,
if need be, physical power at his COM
mand. The needs of the people are
canvassed; the administration of state
and nation is talked over; the inequali-
ties of freight, express, telegraph rates,
etc. are discussed, and in fact al subjects
which may be considered of general in
terest receive attention. AT the APP
preaching meeting subjects of more than
usual interest have been assigned to
some of the ablest editors in tle associ-
alton, and there is no reason to doubt
that needed legislation will be 8, forcibly
placed before our law makers as TO de-
mand their prompt and favorable action.
Regulation of Common Carriers will
be one of the subjects that is destined to
be acted upon by the legislature, for it is
conceded and notorious fact that the
Express Companies to-day are the
greediest and most exacting monopolies
that we have to contend with. They
have been allowed to 60 on year after
year without restriction of any kind un-
til the public is thoroughly aroused, and
the country press now proposes to see if
there is God in Israel. Or in other
words to see if Minnesota has legisla-
ture with me n of sufficient independence
to give relief to long suffering public
and place these monopolies under reason
able subsection and put quietus on the
wholesale robbery so long practiced on
de enseless and helpless public. The
telegraph and telephone companies will
also receive attention, and the former
will be made to deliver message with
in hundred miles of the receiving
Office within reasonable time or pay q
penalty.
Encouragement of immigration by
the State" will also be thoroughly dis
cussed, and some sort of conclusion will
doubtless be arrived at that will be
beneficial to our commonwealth. There
will be other subjects of public interest
brought before the meeting, and as said
in the outset of this article, the session
will prove valuable alike to the editors
and to the public.
We hope our editorial brethren will
make special effort to attend the meet
ing and aid in the work which has been
mapped out. A program will shortly be
mailed to every editor in the state, and
those not now members can become so
by remittingthe membership fee of 81 90
to the Secretary, E. H. Dearth, st.
Paul.
