SATURDAYS Chicago Inter Ocean was
monster in size, containing go pages,
and was issued in honor of it's 21st
birthday. The Inter Ocean is not only
an enterprising and progressive paper,
but it moreover is clean paper, which
no man need be afraid to give to his
family to read. Its Saturday issue
was bold strike and without preced-
ent in journalism, and it is only an
other illustration of what western
push and energy will accomplish.

FROM all reports Mr. Rhodes did not
appear to take his arrest as a very
serious affair. In fact those who are
interested in combines for unlawful
purposes do not seem to regard the
breaking of the law and the tramp
ling upon the rights of the people as a
matter of serious consequence. But
they should be made to feel that it is,
and that they cannot bleed the peo
pie in the reckless way they have been
doing. There seems to be serious
difference in the real facts of the case,
and the testimony which Mr.. Rhodes
gave before the committee, and as he
refused the summons of the commit
tee to again appear before it, he
should be made to more fully explain
matters in court, and take the conse-
quences if he has detied the law. 1t
is time that members of combines fol
illegal purposes are given to under.
stand there is law in this country
which will fit their cases.

bad hands. Capable men have been
retired to the ranks of private life
and their places filled by Others whose
ideas of public morals are upon very
low plane. The stories of boodling
and corruption which come from there
indicate how great has been the de-
scent from the high character it won
as the center Of the battle for human
liberty more than generation ago, to
the level of greed, falsehood and
anarchistic notions which now pre-

THE ReUieoU gives the Democrats a
bit of advice which it would be well
for the Republicans also to profit by.
1t says that the Democratic candl-
Gates having accepted candidacy at
the hands of their political friends
deserve their support" The Repub-
lican candidates, having done like
wise, are just as much entitled to the
supp( rt of the Republicans. The
ticket deserves the support Of every
Republican, and everyone who be-
lieves there should be honor in poll
tics as we'll as elsewhere will vote for
the nominees of a regular convention.
All Democrats who feel like rebuking
the dishonorable methods resorted tC
in the attempt to defeat theRepublic,
ansticket,or for any other reason, such
as the platform adopted by the Re-
publican convention, are invited tC
vote for DR.. Andrews for mayor.

In commenting upon the good road

IN commenting upon the good roads
question the Albert Lea Standard
touches the legislature up as follows:
"The legislature is not treating the
good roads movement fairly, and the
senate mas impugned the motives OF
and ridicules the large and represent
ative convention held to promote it,
1t is astonishing that the Populist
senators should vote solidly against
good roads legislation as they have
done. They thereby misrepresent che
most intelligent element of their con-
StituentS"
The Mankato free press., 1893-03-31

Gov. NELSON Saturday morning
sent to the house for such action as it
sees fit, a resolution from the legis.
lature of Nebraska, proposing con-
vention of representatives of all of the
Mississippi Valley states to decide as
to the advisability Of building a line
of railroad from Lake Superior to the
Gulf of Mexico. 1t is said that such
a road would afford great advantages
to the ten states Of the valley and it
is estimated that the cost Of construc-
tion would reach $27 100000, and the
resolution adds that tax of 10 cents
an acre in these valley states would
build the line and leave a surplus of
$2,000,000. From this it would seem
that the scheme is for the states to
build, own and operate the road. 1t
is probable that nothing ever will
come from it but talk.

DANGEROUS LATITUDE.

The following article in regard the
power which is given cities by the pro-
posed new charter to create a munich
pal debt to an unlimited amount, is
clipped from the Winona Republican,
and applies to Mankato with equal
force and should receive protest
from all tax payers:
Senator Tawney, who was down
from St. Paul Sunday called the at
tentiOn of representative of the Re
publican to one feature of the proposed
municipal charter bill which ought to
have timely consideration at the
| hands of the people of Winona. 1t is
! provided in the bill that the consti-
tuted authorities of any city with
smaller population than 1000 accord
ing to the census of 1890 shall have
power to bond the city for public i'm
| provements to an unlimited amount,
and that, too, without submitting the
! question to vote of the tax payers.
In cities of so, 200 and upward the eX
penditure Tor such purposes is limited
to per cent. of the assessed valua
tiOn Of taxable property. An effort
was made before The charter commits
sion to extend this limitation to all
cities say of 10000 or $4,000, which
would include WlnOna. but this was
objected to by Duluth, and the objec-
tion was sustained by the representa-
tives of Red Wing, Fergus Fails, Still
water and other towns having in con-
temptation the early erection of
bridges and other costly public i'm
proyements. The question thus pre-
sented is one of great Importance TO
Winona. While there may tbe COM
muniuieS where it is advisable, be-
cause Of exceptional conditions, to
leave the possible issue of improve
ment bonds without limit, WinOna is
surely not of that number. The door
ought not to be left wide open.rThere
should be provided some barrier
against possible extravaganza and
corruption. A per cent. limit would
leave sufficient scope for the exercise
Of discretionary power on the part of
any council that may hereafter be
elected.
The bill in question will shortly
come up for consideration in the leg
islature, where it will be open to
amendment. Meantime the subject
under notice might properly be dis
cuSsed by joint meeting of our own
council and the board Of trade with a
view of giving public expression to
the sentiment OF the taxpayers.

BRO. HEATHWOLE of the Mortified
Ne,cs is of the opinion that some of
the public salaries are too high, and
says that an official. state or county,
should receive no more for his services
than the same services would be worth
in the commercial world. Would Joel
have them changed at the end of
every term, to fit the rate the incom-
ing officials have received in private

A FEW days ago the committee in

A FEW days ago the committee in
vestigating the coal combine subpe-
naed Mr. Rhodes to appear before it,
but he failed to appear. There has
been some curiosity as to what the
committee would do because of his
refusal. But they are not going to
invite him again. He has had chance
to explain the wide difference which
exists as to his statements that there
was to his knowledge, no combine,
and that he had no books, letters nor
papers in his possession relating to a
combine, and the actual facts which
have been secured from the books. let
terS and papers which were afterward
found in his possession, relating to
the very question under considera-
tiOn, and he has failed to improve it,
Now he will be obliged to answer to
the charges of conspiracy and perjury
in two different courts and the invi-
tatiOn to attend will be so very in
ticing he will be unable to resist the
temptation OF accepting it, The
attorney general is now preparing the
papers in the cases, and they will be
pushed to the end as soon as the pre-
parationS are completed.
