THE SITE.

There are two factors in the problem
of site for any public building: The
first is convenience, and the second is
prominence; and the first is the greater
and controlling one. If they can be
joined, so much the better; if one must
be abandoned, it should be the latter.
1t would be pleasing to the eye and sat
iSfying to the pride to see the new cap
itOl building perched OH some eminence
where it would be in the eye of
every passer through the city;
but this would not compensate
for the added travel and toll of reaching
it if the eminence should be far from
the general business center of the city.
1t might be located on point in tie
Midway district, where it would catch
the eye of all who come into the cities
from half the state, but that would be
slight recompense for the Inconvenience
of getting to it by ninety-nine of the
hundred people who have business to
transact with the occupants of the cap
itOl.
There is no available site which is so
central as the one now used. 1t is ac-
cessible by street cars from any part of
the city, and from our sister city up the
river. 1t is within 4 few minutes walk
of the business heart of the city. There
is ample room in the square for as large
a building as the state will need, and
yet leave about it all the ground requis-
lite for any use except mere display. 1t
is good enough.
The retention Of the present grounds
will take out of the movement all
chances for any real estate speculation,
and leave the commission with only the
duty of selecting proper plan and Sc
curing its faithful and honest execution.
1t may cost the bill the support of some
of the speculative interests, but it will
remove, also. some objections held by
those who fear that an incOnvenient
site might be chosen. In fact, it is not
clear but that the bill would be stronger
if the speculative supporters of the bill
would lose their interest in it and drop
out of activity.

IN ENCOURAGING DECLARA-
TlON.

Labor organizations have heretofore
been generally so paternaIiStic in their
views of government; workingmen have
been so drilled in the idea that it was
proper use of the taxing power of the
government to shut out competition in
products so that wages might be in
creased, that it IS encouraging when a
labor organization adopts. so clear and
strong an expression of opinion as was
that of Typographical Union No. 80, of
this city, printed in yesterdays GLOBE.
Whereas" say these workers, 1.-THE
most enlightened and conservative
thought of the time in which we live.
as voiced through the press. the ma
tional congress and the legislatures of
the various states, Is Enthusiastically in
favOT0f the fullest degree of economic
freedom and of the least possible inter-
ference with the personal affairs of in
dividuals by the law-making power"
therefore they are opposed to the anti
scalper bill which recently passed the
lower house.
1t indicates how strongly the current
of popular thought has turned to a study
of the principles that underlie govern
ments; towards an examination OF their
proper functions, their limitations, and
how the trend is away from the pater-
nalism which has been so marked since
the war, when wage-earners declare in
favor of the "least possible interference
with the affairs of individuals by the
lawmaking power" Itshows that they
have come to learn that interference
with the affairs of men by government
means only restriction OF their free
dom; that in the end, no matter how
seemingly beneficial at first. such in
reference is always injurious, never
helpful; that man develops best,is best,
when he has the greatest possible lib
erty of action, with the inSeparable re-
sponsibility for his action.
l This declaration indicates the benefit,
as does the anti-scalper bill against
which they protested indicate the need,
of constant, incessant reiteration of the
fundamental principle of Democracy, thu
leaStquantity of control consistent with
the largest quantity of liberty, until
this generation shall have learned again
that which has been forgotten in the
turmoil of the questions arising from
! the war. In the language of President
CSEvELAND's inaugural: 1.-The lessons
of paternalism ought to be learned, and

A NEW CAPITOL.

That Minnesota is sadly in need of a
new capitol, does not admit of denial.
Even the most persistent opponents of
the movement say So. No state has a
worse one, and few states as poor. Iowa
has a S6,O0O,OOO capitol, which was
planned twenty years ago, when the
state WIS not pOpulous and times were
hard. Short time money was loaning
readily at per cent a month, and long
time at 10 anu 20 per cent. The capitol
bill was passed under these circum-
stances with practically no opposition.
Nebraska and Kansas have eapitols be-
side which 'Minnesota's looks like a
barn.
Our capitol is burning disgrace to
the state. Its exterior is a mockery of
architecture, and its interior is still
worse.
1t is fire trap, and the state records
and relics of the historical society are IN
constant danger of destruction.
1t is not half large enough to meet the
demands.
The opponents of the bill assert that
the state cannot afford to put up new
building at present. This is a mere
preteXt. intended to arouse opposition.
Minnesota is not pOverty-Strlcken; we
never had a better average prosperity
than we are now enjoying. But if we
were hard pressed the plan proposed
could not be burdenSOme. The $1,000.
900 the structure is to cost is not to be
paid at once, but through a period of
ten years. For this year and next 5000
is set apart for the commissioners. Be
ginning III 1895, tax of tWO-tenthS OF a
mill is TO be levied during ten years.
The average price for farm product
this year is good. But suppose it were
not, would the fact be proof that the
markets would be no better two years
hence? So, if we were to put off the
work until we had an extra crop year.
there would be no assurance that the
markets would keep up through the
succeeding years.
No, this state poverty cry is a sham.
1t is so ridiculous that no intelligent
taxpayer should be caught by it. 1t is
simply made to staye off the movement
until those at the bottom of it find an
opportunity to accomplish their ends.

LAND.GRANr TAX DoDGING.

Another instance comes to supplement
the comment of the GLOBE on the hy-
pocrisy of the land-grant roads that ask
the state to keep its faith with them In
the matter of eXempting their lands
from taxation. The communication from
State Auditor BIERMANN shows that the
instance cited by the Pine City CORE
spondeEt of the GLOBE is not solitary
exception. That the same lodging is
done IN counties so far apart as are Pine
and Yellow Medicine, and by different
companies, shows that the trick is one
commonly understood and practiced.
The exemption law is very consider
ate of the interests of the roads, but why
shouldn't it be, since 1t was drawn by
their attorney? 1t eXempts the land
until sale. But sale means transfer
of the fee. AS long as the fee remains
in the company no tax lien can stick to
the land. Most of the sales of land by
these companies are by contract. The
Improvements of lands thus held are to
be listed and taxed against the Occu-
pant. If the purchaser fail to pay, and
the contract is annulled, the company
certifieS that fact 10 the state auditor,
and he directs the cancellation of all
taxes levied on the land during the Oc-
cupancy. The company is the better
off foI the money it has received and
the improvements which revert to it,and
is also relieved from the taxes.
The GLOBE stated recently that the
president of one of these land grant
companies defrauded the state and local
ity in which his farm was located, of the
taxes, by the simple device of keeping
his conveyance off record. Others have
done the same, but until our Pine City
correspondent ''tOok the lid off the pot'
it was not generally known that the COM
panies collide with the purchaser to
take surrender of the land contract,
procure the cancellation of the taxes,
and make another contract with the
same purchaser for the sale of the same
lands.
This, of course, would be impossible
if the MARKHAM bill becomes law. 1t
affords a good illustration of how these
roads kee 3 faith with the state, and to
what extent they are entitled to make
that plea now. The GLOBE asks not only
its Pine City correspondent, bat of all
auditors and others having knowledge
of similar cases, to give the state auditor
the information he asks for.
Meantime, gentlemen of the senate,
pass the MARKHAM bill.

SENATE REORGANIZATION.

This Morning.

Democratic Senators to Caucus
This Morning.
WAsHINGToN, March 6.--The Demo
Gratis will take the initial step looking
to the reorganization of the senate to-
morrow morning, at which time eau
Gus will be held for the purpose
OF determining what shall be
done by the party that is
now in full possession OF every
branch of the government. According
to all presidents the first thing is 10 re-
organize the committees which prac-
ticallY control legislation. The Demo-
Gratis have been quietly canVassing the
situation and preparing for the work
that is to begin tomorrow. Through
the medium of this caucus many DEM
ocrats who have been content with UNI
important assignments will be given
more desirable positions upon more
commanding committees. OF course the
matter of ehairmanshipS which have
been held by the Democrats under Re-
publican rule will by the same courtesy
be given to the party that is now i'll the
minority. Judging by the expressions
given out by leading members of the
Democratic party there will not be
much delay in the election Of officers of
the senate, although this may occasion
a protracted contest 1t is intended that
before the next session Of the senate
adjOurns the full organization will he
effected and the Democrats will be in
power with all that that word implies.

STILL AMONG THE MISSING
Not a Few Believe the Naronic
Has Been Sunk


New YORK, March 6.-The White
Star steamer Naronic is still among the
missing craft. She is now twelve days
overdue and there is not single
trace of her whereabouts. Twenty
two days is long time for one of
the largest and fastest cargo steamers
to occupy in passage of 5000 miles.
The overdue Italy. which it was
thought might possibly have the Mar
onc in tow, arrived today and reports
that she saw nothing of the missing
freighter. A similar tale was told
by all the other steamers arriv-
ing today. Not few express
the belief that the big craft
with crew, passengers and valuable car
go has gone to the bottom. A few be-
lieve that the craft has broken down and
is being towed. The trans Atlantic
line is only sixtY-Seven miles wide
and 1t is unreasonable to suppose,
so steamship men say, that the ship has
not been within the limits of this track
since she left the Mersey. One hundred
and seventy.eight steamers have crossed
and recrossed the lane since that time.
The vessel has either drifted far
south of the track. with machin-
cry disabled, or more serious accident
has befaIlen her. A disaster similar to

REPUBLICANS CAUCUS.
They Recognize the Fact That
They Are in the MINORITY. .


WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Repub-
lican caucus today was we'll attended.
and was presided over by Mr.. Sherman.
Neither Mr.. Stewart nor Mr.. PETER
was present, although they were given
to understand they would be welcome.
The Republicans recognized the fact
that they were in the minority, and
discussed the line of policy that
should be pursued in the future.
This discussion was in the most
general terms, however, and not direct
ed at any one matter in particular.
There was no attempt to interfere with
the reorganization of the senate by the
Democrats, the Republicans recognizing
that such action could result in nothing
but antagonisms that would prove futile
and decrease the effective work of a Wig
orous and alert minority. In consider
ing the case of Mr.. Martin, of Kansas,
the caucus decided that the question
whether Mr.. Martins seat should or
should not be contested was one that
must be decided by the Republicans of
Kansas.

inaugural Festivities Wound Up
by a Pyrotechnic Display.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-lncidental
to the inaugural festivities was the
illumination tonight of the capitol build
ing and Pennsylvania avenue, and the
display of fireworks on the
monument grounds. These were
to have taken place Saturday
evening, but owing to the lnclement
weather of Saturday and for other rea-
sons they were postponed until tonight.
Just as darkness set in people swarmed
Pennsylvania avenue from all parts
of the city, and the crowds that con-
gregated there, and later on the WASH
ington monument grounds, were simply
immense. The avenue and grounds
were black with moving forms. and it
was with great difficulty that the cable
cars and other vehicles made their way
through them. Nine electric suns,
placed on stands twelve feet high in
front of the capitol, Illuminated that
building. The effect was beautiful, and
the structure being on hill, its fine,
sharp outline was visible miles away.
The lighting of the avenue was effected
by forty union illuminationS, and these.
supplemented by revolving suns at the
treasury department. completed a
scene of great brilliancy. But the
best entertainment of the evening
was the pyrotechnical display in
the monument grounds, where
for about an hour the crowds were
treated to a perfect fusilade of eXpl0-
sives, following each other in rapid sue
cession and including all the numerous
devices known to the pyrotechDic art.
There were half a dozen or more set
figures III the display, chief Of
which were the following: George
Washington, equestrian statue, 30
by 40 feet in size; Andrew Jackson
equestrian statue of similar size, and
Columbia. There were two others,
however, that created more than the
usual amount of applause and enthusi-
asm. These were devices with the por-
traits of Harrison and Morton and
Cleveland and Stevenson, the latter of
which bore the motto Public Office Is

to him: sit will be good-by, Mr.. Presi-
dent, four years hence" Mr.. Steven
son smiled, shook hands again, and en-
tered the carriage without comment
