MINNESOTA needs new state capitol
there is no doubt about that. The pres
ent temporary affair, erected to meet an
emergency IS wholly inadequate for the
demands made upon it, and it should be
building creditable to the state archi-
tecturally and of sufficient dimensions to
make enlargement unnecessary for an in
definite period. 1t should be located
within the capitol city at point of
easy access, not remote from the busy
commercial center. The idea of locating
it on the open prairie as nucleus
about which to build up real estate
boom meets with little favor.

THE state Senate is not such an OBJ
tuse body as many have been led to think
it. 1t has perception enough to feel that
an interminable session is not what the
state demands, and the following resolu-
ton has been introduced and referred to
the committee on rules, and ought to be
adopted without dissenting vote:
Whereas, This being the fifth week of
the twenty-eight session of the le2isla-
ture and no measure of general charac-
ter or of grea: Importance has bsen
passed by this body, and,
Whereas, In the interest of economy,
and with the belief that all measures of
great Importance before this legislature
can be July considered and acted upon
by the 22nd day of March, 1898; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, by the senate, the house con-
curing, that this session of the iegisla-
ture shall adjourn sine die. at IL O'Clock
noon on Wednesday the 22nd day Ut
March, 1898. and that Wednesday, the
LIST day of March, 1899, shall be fixed as
the last day on which bills can be intro
duced, except upon the recommended ton
of the governor of this state.

THERE is bill now pending in the
house of representatives in this state to
increase from $4,000 to $4,000, the
indemnity to be paid in case of fatal ac-
cident occasioned by reason OF negli-
gence or other cause which make the
person or corporation at fault liable for
damages. This is all wrong in principle,
and pernicious. No exact value can be
placed upon human life, and the lesser
sum is as much violation Of the princi-
pie as the greater one. The value of
each life is a question OF fact to be de-
termined, if in court by jury. To place
a fixed and equal value upon all lives
alike Is absurd in the extreme. and
would not be tolerated if applied to a
horse or mule. 1t needs no argument
or illustration to prove that a life which
is burden to the owner aud the commun
fly alike should not receive the same in
demnity as one upon winch vast person
al and public interests depend Let the
1nembers of the house indulge IN little
introspection first and then sweep the
galleries with their eyes and vote con-
scientiouslv, if they can, that there is no
difference in the value of human lives
They would be struck with the absurdi-
ty OF it at once.

Mr.. GARRISON, formerly assistant
postmaster general, does not like Presi-
dent Harrison's appointment to the SUI
preme bench of Judge Howell E. Jackson
of Tennessee, because. the latter is
Democrat. He has given out to the
press long letter. in which he charges
the defeat of the Republi an party d.
rectly to the president, and cites his APP
pointment as illustrative OF the Harrison
policy Of failure to recognize political
friends. He sees great danger to the
country at large in the succession OF
Democrat of the mild type ofIackson to
the position made vacant by a hcrce
Democrat of the type of Lamar. 1t
would seem that his position is not
well taken. In his TRADE against the
president for what he is Pleased to call
demoralizing disloyalty to the party. it
does not occur TO him that he is doing
far more to disrupt the party than any
ten or City acts of the president. In the
appointment criticised SO unmeasuredly,
the president has not only shown sagae-
ity, but broad-mindedness which has
characterized his entire administration.
He has set his official commentator up
on the principle that the judiciary is
above and beyond partisanship. He
has selected man both clean and able,
and has preserved the political balance
of the bench as it was during Mr.. Lam
ar's life time II Mr.. Clarkson is not
capable of approaching so high stand
ard OF craftsmanship, so much the worse
for Mr.. Clarkson She country approves
the action of President Harrison, and
will applaud this, one OF the least i'm
portant acts OF his administration as
heartily as others of equal wisdom which
have made it one of the best the nation
has ever enjoyed.

The social statistics of France for the
year 1892 admit of some interesting de-
auctions. The excess of deaths over
birth was 10000, and but Tor the gain
made among the foreign residents the
excess of death would have been nearly
twice that number. The rise in the
death rateis attributed Largely TO the grip.
1t is to be noted, however, that there
has been almost uninterrupted decrease
IN the number of births since 1881. On
the other hand, the marriages reached in
1892 the highest total for the past eight
years, and the number of divorces was
abort what it has been for any year
since divorce was legalized in 1SS4-s5.

TAXATION.

There are two taxation schemes before
our legislature which are radical depar-
lures from existing provisions, and both
arc warmly advocated and as strenuous
ly opposed. That to tax all incomes
over {: certain amount, say $1,000 or
$500 year is open to the very serious
objection that it will be easy OF evasion.
Aman ona fixed salary cannot very well
conceal the fact of an income and the
amount of it. and so far as he is con-
cerned the assessment will be easy. But
there is large class of men engaged IN
actual business, however honestly they
might desire to return the exact amount
of their net earnings would find it i'm
possible to do so. Take, for example,
man i'm the real-estate business: His
whole gains tor year are invested
in increased holdings of uncertain value
until realized upon. 1t would be impos-
sible to fix arbitrary values to such hold
ings. The assessed valuation would be
no criterion, for it is conceded that such
property is not assessed at even approx
mately true values. Again, where there
S disposition to conceal figures, 1T
would be an easy task-easier indeed
than to evade taxation of personal pro-
perty, and that is done so VIGOROUSLY
that it is question whether it is worth
while to even make persistent effort to
uncover it. In fact such property goes
upon the assessors books at about any
figure the owner sees fl! to attach to 1T.
But the taxation, of inheritances is
quite different. The probate court is
bound to ascertain pretty closely the
trueyalues, otherwise equitable distribu-
ton would be impossible. The property
is acquired by persons who have put
forth no effort and taken no risks in it's
accumulation, and they can well afford
to pay a certain per cent. tor obtaining
possession Of it. In the case of personal
property, death relentlessly uncovers 1t,
and for once in it's existence it faces the
public records at its true value. With
proper conditions, exemptions and re-
strictions there is nc apparent reason
why it should no. contribute to the ex-
penses of the government which has
made it possible. .-E Z.

Mr.. CLEVELAND has served notice on
the democrats that he wants the Sher-
man silver bill repealed before he is in
augurated, and yet the resolution of
Senator Hill to take it up was defeated
by an overwhelming majority in the SEN
ate. It's quite probable that this ques-
ton alone will prove of sufficient import
ance to warrant the calling OF an extra
session.

Mr.. CLEVELAND rather intimates that
Democrats opposed to his silver policy
need not look for special tavors at his
hands. If there is any force calculated
to coerce the average democrat into any
action it is the fear OF beng cut off from
participation in the public crib.
