IL an article in the North American Re
CielC Speaker REED, to show that his ar
bitrary rulings in the house had no
tendency to curtail the debate, points out
the fact that it only required ten volumes
to record the proceedings of the Fiftieth
congress, first session, while eleven we're
necessary for those of the first session of
the Fifty-first congress. There are two
facts. however, that are rather inclined to
jar the speakers argument and account
for this extra volume. One is that the
discussion on the tariff bill by the senate
was protracted because of the avowed rea-
son that it had not been sufficiently con-
sidered in the house, and another is that
7SS pages of the Congressional Record are
covered with speeches that were never de-
livered, but appear there "by leave to
print" That part of Mr. REEDS defense
wherein he says that the proceedings of
the house alone exceeded the first session
of the preceding congress about three hun
dred pages is rather weakened by the
above figures.

ances, even from incomes il necessary;
and let the land and ordinary personal
property be subject to local taxation only.
Then We may hope for fair assessments that
will not throw the great burden of taxa
ton upon the poorer classes, as is now the
case.
We have no desire to burden the cor
porations unduly. They have been of the
greatest benefit TO the state. But the
people of the state make only just de-
mand when they ask that railroads and
other corporations pay at the same rate as
the farmers and the merchants. Hereto
fore their assessments have been in
MANY cases ridiculously low.

and conditions, and reaching into every
home, justi6es us in making so earnest an
appeal to our lawmakers to suppress it.
The appellate court will bring the needed
relief as promptly as possible. and in the
rational way. 1t will permanently insure
speedy justice in the future aud lead the
people to duly consider that fact IN max
ing their dealings.
We trust our legislators viii not suffer
the appellate court measure to drag be-
cause not backed up by the usual lobby
ing or special interest. 1t is measure for
the people, and every senator and mem
Der should be its friend.
Pass the appellate court bill.

The New Castle Courier, the organ Of
the rotten old republican ring OF Henry
county, rises 10 remark:
THE SENTINEL and other democratic
newspapers are making great pretense
of fayoring the reduction OF fees and
salaries. well knowing that the legis-
lature does not intend TO disturb the pres
ent law.
The Courier would be very happy, no
doubt, if it believed this to be true. But
it knows better. The legislature will re-
deem the pledges made to the people
on the question of fee and salary reform.

THE Topeka Democrat publishes strong
letter from the Hon. A. J. ARNOLD of Kan
sas and formerly OF this state, advocating
the election of Congressman BYNUM to the
speakership. Indications multiply that
Mr. BYNUM is the coming man. He has
everything in his favor-youth, ability,
experience, knowledge of parliamentary
law, courage, location, a clean record, and
democrats, both North and South, are fast
coming to see that he is the man to preside
over the next house of representatives.

THE question Of recognizing the state
board of agriculture is before the senate.
There is no doubt that the present system
is opposed to public policy and ought to
be abandoned, and that whatever plan
may be adopted in its stead should Gre
ate state board entirelyrepresentatve in its
character and with no power in its men,
bers to perpetuate themselves in Office.
The present board is a thoroughly fos-
SLICED institution, at least fifty years be-
hind the times, and of little credit and
less service TO the agricultural interests of
the state. The annual fairs are cheap
John exhibitions, and the people of Indi-
annapolis and OF the state at large are
heartily ashamed of them. There should
be new deal all around. No
only the agricultural, but the me-
chanical and industrial interests OF
the state, should be fairly represented in
their management. The system should
be such as to insure the infusion of fresh
blood into the state board from time to
time. We trust that good law will be
passed upon the subject, and one that
will secure a successful and adequate an
nual exhibition of our agricultural and
industrial resources.

is to pass fee and salary bill, and the

Yet, during the meeting referred TO in the
above, the usual slop contract was made with
the warden. Such contracts while, In our opin-
ion, they have always been made in good faith
and honestly complied with are certainly
against the spirit if not the letter of sec. 6,l4o
r. g., and are impolitio and unwise for the rea-
son that their execution calls for the criticisms
aud suspicion of wrong doing. And although
your committee is not prepared TO say that the
state could reap any financial advantage from
the discontinuancs of this method of disposing
of the slop, we recommend a strict construc-
ton on the part of the directors ana warden OF
Sec 6, l40 ana obedience thereto.

incubation that the salary or the warden be

On or about May 1, Price, McGill &

beck of their series. to which particular

is original, and the work of st. Paul

the story. and the author thereof is
FRANKLIN w. Lee. who has posed be-
fore the public at various times with
more or less success as writer of I'M
pretentiOuS verse and a reciter of
original character poems. 1t was not
generally known thatshe aspired TO tho
distinction of novel writing, but it
seems that he has devoted his leisure
for several years to the rounding and
polishing of love tale, which is said to
contain considerable strength, pathos
and interest, besides painting an evil
dent moral. Whether it will turn out to
be the great American novel for which
an anxious reading public has been
waiting and watching these many years
remains to be seen; but if tie authors
statements are correct the book ought
TO enjoy Some fame because of the fact
that it is pure in character and healthy
i'll tone, containing neither eroticism
nor realism. 1t is just a plain. home
grown story, without frills or furbelows,
but has enough virility to hold it to-
gether, and excitement in plenty. The
scenes are laid in Duchess county, New
York, Brooklyn, Chicago, and other
places. The hero. strange to say, works
for a living, and none of the characters
go to Paris or drive dog cart.

Something About Dollars.

The dollar sign (S) is not a monogram
of ~. ST." but dates from the days
when the transfer was made from Span
ish to American dollars and accounts
were kept equally in dollars and reals.
Thus: One dollar eight reals. Later
the s was placed between the perpen-
dicular parallel lines s then the per-
pendicnlar lines crossed the eight and
combined with it to form the present
sign (S).
But the origin of the dollar mark is
not so important question as how to
get the dollars, and how to get the most
out of them afterwards. great many
rules for becoming wealthy have been
given, and John Jacob Astor's-"Cut

Young people were present from Minneapo-

FAVOR RAYMOND AVENUE
When the St. Anthony Park Elec-
trio Line Is Constructed

GfIC AuHc rs SOuStfuCGcd.
A petition is being circulated in st.
Anthony Park which favors the build
ing of an electric line on Raymond ave-
nue.. All of the park people would be
glad to see this line constructed. but if
it is to be secured at the expense of the
Langford avenue line, or is to be used
as an apology why the latter liue should
not be built according to contract, there
can be but little doubt how the citizens
of the park will feel on the Ques-
ton. There is no reasonable room
for doubt that if this Raymond
avenue line is constructed Mir.
Lowry will claim that he has furnished
the park with street car facilities, and
should not be required to build the
Langford avenue line. The proposed
change in the line requires persons
going to or coming from ST. Paul to
double on their track distance Of
nearly a mile, being double the dis
lance from Raymond to Cromwell
fail to give those of the park people who
live in Minneapolis much less salts
factory service than they must eventu-
ally get if the Langford avenue line is
built, for this latter must become in
time through route, a trunk line as it
were, between the cities, there being
only very small gap to fill up in order
to make it line of this Importance.
This question was thoroughly dis
cusSed at recent meeting of the ST.
Anthony Park Citizens league,a and both
Minneapolis and st. Paul people were
present. 1t was unanimously adopted:
That ii is the sense of this meeting
that the line through Langford avenue
60 I,.Ar
neapolis, if Mr.. Lowry thinks best to
build it, is far more desirable than the
north and south line on Raymond ave-
nue."
The Langford avenue line must first
be secured and when this is done, every
citizen of the park will work for the
Raymond avenue line. But if there is
any chance that the Langford line is to
be sacrificed to the Raymond line, the
citizens of the park say they will be
heard from.

Walter Horton Identifies the
Body as That Of His
Daughter,
But Displays None Of the
Emotion Natural to Such
a Scene.
An Elevator Accident That
Fortunately Had No Seri-
Gus Effect.
The Court Takes Occasion to
Rebake the Nerve Of a
Witness.

There was published in the GLOBE
exclusively Friday morning an account
of the finding of the body of child
supposed to be that of Mabel Horton.
The supposition has proven not to be
unto unded, for the child was identified
yesterday by Walter +. Horton himself,
who pronounced it undoubtedly his
child.
AT o'clock yesterday morning Nc
Carthy Il Donnelly started their under
taking wagon for the scene of the find
ing. In the conveyance were Johnny
Doherty, faithful employe, and OH the
seat with him Walter +. Horton, who
was on hand bright and early prepared
to make the trip. A plain box to tram
sport the remains was taken along. Hor
ton wore the same unperturbed de-
meanor that marked his bearing during
the trial. Closely following the under
takers wagon was light rig in which
was representative of an even
ing paper, who. smarting under
that tired feeling which a
good live scoop always engenders,
''swept on" like the immortal Sheridan,
with his wild eye full of fire" deter
mined, if he did get left once he would
make up for it now in good shape.
Horton had little or nothing to say on
the way to Pine Bend, and what words
he did utter where the usual common
place remarks incident to everyday
conversation, and not at all pertinent to
the mission he was engaged in. There
was no nervousness on his part nor did
he express any particular urgency TO
reach his destination. 1t was exactly
noon when the spot was reached where
two men had erected a small tent and
kept watch over the body. which lay
near the waters edge. The men showed
the way to Horton and the rest, and all
hands descended to view the remains.
Horton ScrutiniZed the body carefully,
paying particular attention TO the wear
ing apparel, all traces of humanity hay
ing been effaced ty the action of the
water. He showed but little signs Of
trepidatiOII or suppressed feeling as he
did SO, but proceeded with the eXami-
nation in cool, collected manner.
When he had completed his eXamina-
ton, Doherty asked him if that was his
child. He replied that it was. and, &C
cOrding to Doherty, that was all the
pathOs and heartbreaking that enSued.
The body, after being viewed for a
rev moments, was placed III the wagon,
and the journey homewards commenced.
st. Paul was reached about ; o'clock
and the remains of the child deposited
i'll the morgue. where they now lie. y
There are those who express doubts
as to the child being indeed Horizons.
They say that. no one else claiming the
body, it would be strong card for him
to play to go through the motions of
Identification, and thereby dispel
doubts as to his complete innocence of
the terrible crime which many have be-
lieved him guilty of. Notwithstanding
his acquittal by the jury. For him there
was nothing to lose by the Identified
ton, and everything to gain.
