STATE EXAMINER KENYON sent a
report. to Governor Merriam few days
ago in which he roasted the American
Building and Loan Association as be-
ing an association, the profits of which
are eaten up by the officers. etc. OF
course the officers of the American
came back at him as we'll as they could,
and to make matters still more interest
ing, Freeman P. Lane jumps with both
feet on Mr. Kenyon, so TO speak. or
course Mr. Lanes motives are apparent.
He is attorney for this concern, and
draws handsome salary. He woula
be very ungrateful if ne did not defend
the giyer of his bread and butter. Rep
resentatives Of other organizations
scored Kenyon because they believed
he was Indirectly influencing the legis
lature in the interest of his building
and loan bill. If these were kenyOn's
motives, Governor Merriam should not
permit him to remain in the Office of
public examiner another day. Men
who occupy public positions OF this
sort should be above petty work. and if
they cannot do their duty without fear
or favor, then they are public nuisances

ho served notice on them to remove
their poles on Nicollet avenue between
Second and Eighth streets. The com
pany promised to comply with the order
at once. The Western Union has
thought better of its first resolution to
fight the putting down of its wires, and
will begin at once the laying of con-
Quits for them. This is certainly very
refreshing. 1t would be long and
tedious case for the city to fight i'll the
courts. and might consume two or
three years, if not more. During all
this time Minneapolis would be suffer
ing from the overhead wire nuisance,
and could do nothing unless the mayor
should take the law into his own hands
as Mayor Grant did in New York, and
have the poles cut down. It is much
more pleasant and agreeable all around
to have the company follow the exam
pie Of the other companies that are u.s.
lag the streets in the same way. 1t Is
not vet known whether the Western
Union will use the Dorsett system OF
conduits now in use or put in their
own conduits.

MAYOR WINSTON vetoed the cou1

MAYOR WINSTON vetoed the council
resolution raising the peddlers' license.
This was something of a surprise to
the members of the council who worked
hard to get the licenses increased. Ii
may be that the council will not take
any further action in the matter. The
Mayor evidently did what he considered
was his duty in the premises, and in
doing that he is ready to meet the men
of both sides. AS far as the question
of justice is concerned in this matter,
there seems to be wide difference OF
opinion, but the Mayor is uDQuestiona
bly, right when We consider the various
occupations that are necessary in a city
of 100000 people to give all men an op-
portunity TO secure livelihood. The
license is high enough, but for the ped
dler who does not do a legitimate bust
ness some means should be provided for
quick and effective punishment.

A GREAT deal is being said bv the
Republican press of the country about
the receptions President Harrison is re-
celving at all places he stops on his
Southern trip. Taev reason, by the
way. that these receptions are che result
of the Presidents wise administration;
That the protective policy of the Re-
publican party is being approved etc.
That is not so by any means. President
Harrison Is, we are glad to see, being
received all along the line with cheers
and enthusiasm, but these pleasant re-
ceDtions are not due to the fact that he
is Republican. No; they are due to
the fact that he is president. AMI as
such is entltl ed to the respect Of all
true aud loyal citizens of the y aion.
That is what prompts TIE people to turn
out and cheer themselves boarse over
him, Were he to visit Minneapolis,
which is a Democratic city to day, he
would be received with open arms. All
good citizens, irrespective of party
would welcome him to their city, and
81 ad would we be to grasp the hand OF
our president. No; 1t is not politics,
but loyalty to the stars and stripes that

MAYOR WINSTON is having his hands
full these times. After vetoing the curb
and gutter resolution which gave con
tract to Messrs. Ring & Tobin the city
council advertised for other BIDS The
Parkhurst company submitted the low
est bid but as theirs was for artificial
stone only, and the council wanted
natural stone, the combine" was ruled
out. When trey heard that Mayor
Winston was likely to sign the res0lu-
ton giving the contract to Ring q
Tobin, they employed council to enjoin
the mayor from signing 1t. If the rep
resentatives of the people of this city
the city councll-cannot award con-
tract as they SEQ fit there is no use in
paving them to make laws and ordi
nances for our local government. The
Parkhurst men act like babies in this
case. They claim certain rights and
privileges which 1t will be difficult for
the city to grant. If the city council
wants natural stone instead OF artificial
they have right to so Ordain.

were killed, and several passengers ia
tally injured. The cause Of this terri
BILE affair is said to have been due to a
misunderstanding of orders. Our state
laws governing such gross carelessness
as this, are entirely too lax. 1t they
were as severe as they should he, there
would he fewer railroad eatastrophes.
In such a case as this the train dis
patcher ought to be held responsible,
and punished. This thing OF having a
coroner's jury Investigate and report
without further action is all nonsense.
Nothing less than good sound punish
ment, such as Is or 20 years in the pen
etentiary, will ever put stop to CHS
indiscriminate killing Of men. women
and children. 1t was horrible sight.
Such accidents scarcely ever occur in
Europe, and there is no reason why
this country should not be az free from
them.
