THE INTEREST QUESTION.

This question is up again for legls-
lative regulation. 1t always will be
whenever the legislature is i'll session
The excuse for legislating upon this
subject is that interest OH money
loaned may be cheapened. But will it
be? There is no law now against low
rate of interest. 1t is purely question
of supply and demand, added to the
value of the security offered. For in
stance, many thousands of dollars have
been loaned in this city by Eastern
parties at AZ per cent. Very many
more thousands at 5, others still at 81,
and others at 6. The law does not make
this so. 1t is so simply because the
parties having money to loan were will
ing to take this low rate of interest,
provided the security was amply salts
factory to them. No law will compel a
man to loan OH other than satisfactory
security at any rate OF interest. The
law may say that the rate may be per
cent or 10 per cent, yet men having
money to loan will take a low rate of
interest if they get the protection they
desire in the way of security.
The great lever by which low rate
of interest can be secured to the people
of state is the building up OF high
character of credit. Without that, leg
islation reducing the legal rate of in
terest simply shuts foreign capital out
of the state, thus lessening the COMPETE
ton of capital for loaning purposes
within the state, thus increasing the
rate of interest. If free trade is per
mitted in money, and high standard of
credit created, the price of money will
drop by virtue of the competition thus
invited. The legislature can no more
compel an Eastern man to come into
Minnesota aud loan his money for or
6 per cent, unless the security is salts
factory to him. than can the legislature
compel a farmer to sell his wheat at 40
cents a bushel when farmers OF other
states can get so.

THE ISSUE JOINED.

From one end of the United States to
the other the most intense interest will
be taken in the legal contest now being
carried on in Minnesota. The immedi-
ate scene of the contest is in st. Paul.
but as a matter of fact it involves the
power or right of the state of Minnesota
as against the right of a citizen believed
to be the executive agent of an unlaW-
full combination.
From these premises the issue has
been made. The legislature, by adopt
ing the resolution printed elsewhere,
had been placed on record as cheriShing
a determination to enforce to the full
limit all the authority vested in it touch
ing this question. 1t will be extremely
interesting TO observe the developments
from this point forward. Mr.. WALSH,
chairman of the house section of the in
Vestigating committee, has been cited
to appear i'll court because of his posses
sion OF certain book. Because of the
fact that he is so cited, the legislature.
in we'll defined terms, instructs him to
refuse to yield possession TO the court
vi any VI IllC NOulI . I1O has
expressed determination to act in &C
cOrdanee with the instructions of the
legislature.
1t is understood the court before
which Mr.. WALSH is to appear has in
timated that the law Is lame so far as it
can be made to apply to members, Of
ficeIs or servants of the legislature in
such contingency as will demand de-
cisiOn by the judge tomorrow. In this
unsatisfactory position this seemingly
unparalleled case now stands. While
the learned judge studies the law the
legislature rests easily, confident of its
supremacy, and the lawyers are pre-
pared to argue as they interpret the
respective powers of legislature and
court. If good shall finally come to the
people out Of the legal web now woven,
the judgment will be that right has pre-
vailed. If the inherent power of the
people, represented by the state. shall
be found barren, then there may ensue
corrective legislation which will estab-
liSh anew the public confidence in
popular government.

THE VOTE ON THE CAPITOL
BILL,

A tinge of regret must have pervaded
the minds of all friends of ST. Paul who
read an editorial utterance in an even
ne paper yesterday. 1t was written
anent the passage of the capitol bill in
the house Of representatives. Therein
some statements were made which bear
the impress of having been written in a
sour mood, or without even fair under
standing of the circumstances. Espe-
cially are the indirect reflections on the
good faith of Mr.. WYMAN unmerited.
lie has kept the brightest kind of good
faith in his actions, speech and vote
during the progress Of the legislative
fight for the bill. His fame in this
matter should be held unsullied, and
his work for the bill should not
be detracted from in the slightest de-
gree. One of the most faithful and in
fluential of the majority party in the
house. JAMES I. WYMAN was as
staunch as he was able in support of
the bill which Will give to the state of
Minnesota a state house equal to her
needs and commensurate with her dig
nifty. Four members of the Hennepin
delegation did vote against the bill, but
they alone are responsible for the votes
so cast; they alone must be judged re-
sponsible for the motives back of their
votes. The Hennepin delegation, apart
from Messrs. BASToN, CAIRNS, COLE
and FLETCHER, gave heed only to the
best interests of the state at large. st.
Paul was dropped from consideration in
their study of the proposition, and the

spectfully resent unwarranted imputa-

the political supremacy of New York
will have passed away. The first step
toward this was taken last fall when
Grover Cleveland was given enough
electoral votes outside of the Empire
state to elect him, and, although he is IL
New York man, there is no one who
more earnestly desires the success of
this movement than he. The prosperity
of the agricultural interests of the coun-
try TO him means the prosperity of the
entire land. OF the manufacturing class

the West.
No Jerseymen Resign.
This is a Democratic administration,
and the humbleSt as well as the great
est citizen can secure the privilege Of
an interview with the president or any
of his advisers. A day or two ago.
while at the Office of Postmaster Gen
eraI Bissell. gentleman from cross
roads postOffice i'll New Jersey was
ushered in. He was cordially shaken
by the hand by the postmaster general,
who asked him what he desired. The
Jerseyman for a moment was rather
lost and was inclined to gaze up at the
stalwart Buffalonan with wonder. awe
and admiration. When he recovered
himself he stated thet he wanted the
postoffice at certain place in New Jer-
sey.
''What is the salary?" asked Mr.. Bis
sell.
About $780," was the reply.
SIS there vacancy? Has the present
postmaster reSigned?"
mo, sir; do not think he intends
to-" replied the applicant.
.'Jerseymen never resign, then, In
your opinion" said Mr.. Bissell. with a
laugh that made his visitor feel quite at
ease. Have you any Endorsements?
II was the postmaster under the frat
administration, and the people who
patronize the Office have all signed my
petition"
II think you are barred by the rule"
said Mr.. BlSsell. but you had better go
and talk over the matter with Senator
Mcpherson or Senator Smith, and see
what they say"
This conversation indicates the kind
of man who is at the head of the post
office department. He is good-humored,
accommodating. and man cabable of
doing the work of a dozen ordinary
men. He graSpS a situation quickly,
and acts at once. The rapidity of his
movements. and the zeal which he dis
plays, accounts for his selection as a
member of the working cabinet which
President Cleveland has.gathered about
him.

Washington, Chisago, Kanabec and
Pine counties. Washington is IN the
main Republican county, and the
other three are strongly Republican,.
The law would be gross injustice to
the four outside counties, for Ramsey
could easily elect the six judges pro-
vided for in the bill from the bar of st.
Paul. and it would undoubtedly do so.
Ramsey county is large enough for
district by itself. Ii we have more
judges than we need, reduce the num-
Der. Where any county has business
enough for more than one judge, there
is no reason for adding counties to IL
for judicial district. The only pur-
pose of putting counties together for
Judiciary is to furnish business enough
to occupy the attention of judge.
And where more than one judge is pro-
videdsfor district Of several counties
the purpose is to afford the advantage
of the judgment of two men, instead
of one, In very important cases.
Ramsey county has business enough
for at least five judges; hence there is
no reason for adding counties to 1T
unless 1t be a political one. The Ramsey
county court has many years been out
of politics, and if it is considered other
wise now, the Republican party is alone
to blame for it. But we have still a
judiciary which is so free from political
influences that no one would stop to
inquire whether the judges were Re-
publicans or Democrats. Two or the
members of the bench are Republicans
and four are Democrats, but from their
decisions no one could detect which
was which.
No one can look upon the movement
as other than one inspired by pride as
to party title, and that is pretty small
matter upon which to hang such gross
injustice as it would be to the four out
side counties, and the humiliation of
Ramsey county. The purpose is APP
parent beyond question, and it is I'M
worthy any man of standing. If the
movement is inspired by any member of
the Ramsey county delegation, he should
hide with shame, for he has evidently
more pride in the toy of mere party title
than he has in the dignity of his county.

fore the department can go ahead with
the matters that need attention. He
goes to his Office at 8 o'clock in the
morning, and remains until 5 in the
afternoon, and l have never seen a man
who took hold of matters III more mas
terly manner"
This opinion of Mr.. Doran is held by
every man who has visited the interior
department and observed the methods
pursued by the new chief. Few changes
are being made at present by the GeOrg-
ian, because he believes that he can get
a thorough knowledge of the exact con-
dition of the public business much
quicker from the men who have been in
charge of the different branches than if
new men were at once thrown into their
places. The restless and anxious seek
ers after the leading positions will not
indorSe this view OF the matter, but the
public generally wiIld do so most heartily,
and so the secretary does not feel at all
disturbed over the complaints from this
class.
Making Changes Slowly.
Until the interior department is thor
oughly recognized. there will be few
changes in the Indian service and i'll
the various land Offices throughout the
country. At the rate at which Secretary
Smith is now working, it will not be
long before he will be ready to consider
some of the more important of these
places. and then MinneSOtans may eX-
pect change in the receivership of the
Crookston land Office, Of both officials in
the Duluth Office, and change i'll the
Craftsmanship of the Chippewa Indian
commission, berth now held by EX-
Congressman Oar S. Hall, of Renville
county.
In this working cabinet Secretary
HOke Smith is well up to the front of
the procession, and the people of the
Northwest may expect the settlement
of great many ancient and time-worn
contests during the coming four years.
One of the ablest lawyers i'll the coun-
try. he proposes to take up the various
important contests and settle them once
for all. AS has been evident to the
settlers in the Northwest, particularly
in the Duluth district of Minnesota,
the chief Of the interior depart
ment during the past four years
was a very slow gentleman, inclined to
allow contests to drag along until the
weaker party was often only too glad to
compromise with the stronger. 1t is not
necessary to cite cases, because they are
only too numerous and too familiar TO
the people of the sections interested.
That this slow-going policy is to De

manner of doing business substituted.
will be received with favor because it
means the promotion Of the prosperity
of the entire West.
Union Of West and South.
When the farmers of the Northwest
and the West in general, once the
stronghoIds of RepublicaniSm. began to
elect large numbers of Democrats to
represent them in congress. they laid
the foundation for movement that will
eventually change the seat Of political
power in the nation. For more than a
third of century New England and the
Middle states have been in absolute
control. These states nave dictated
politics, made presidents, and forced

try, is certain. The drift is
All in That Direction
among the representatives of the two
sections in Washington. The far-seeing
men of the South saw the necessity for
such union half century and more
ago and tried to bring it about. 1t was
then an impossible task. There could
be no alliance between the Slave-hOld-
ing class of the South. represented by
John g. Calhoun, and the small farmers
of the West, who were opposed to
slavery. The moral question was
greater than the economic one, and in
the settlement of that Issue the West
joined hands with the East.
But what was impossible in the early
days of the great commemorative of the
West Is now not only possible, but is
actually being rapidly brought about.
The young men Of the two sections who
are able to look at the issues of the pres
ent day without the prejudices of the
past are enthusiastic in the movement,
and enthusiasm, like faith, can move
mountains. Only the other day in the
lobby of the house it was my privilege
to be introduced to Congressman
Bryan, of Nebraska. and Senator Irby,
of South Carolina.
Nebraska and South Carolina.
1.-The South and West must come to-
gether and prevent the continued DOM
nation of the East" said Senator Irby.
They have the power, and must be
brought together by their identity of
interests"
II am heartily in favor of the prop
osltion, SENATOR" said Congressman
Bryan. land will do all [ can to hasten
the day when such an alliance will be
able to control the legislation of the
country"
In close sympathy with these two
representatives of the young Democracy
of the new South and the vigorous West
is Senator Kyle, of South Dakota; SEN
atOr Roach, of North Dakota, and Con-
gressmen Hall and Baldwin, of Min
neSota. The movement is a patriotic
one and certain to result in success.
All the West and the South demand is
justice and fair play, equal rights to
all, special privileges to none" Upon
this broad platform the battle will be
fought and won. The line has been
drawn in the West during the past two
campaigns and the most fattering sue
cesSes have followed.
The once Republican stronghold of
Kansas is now represented by two OPP
position senators. Nebraska has already
sent one and North and South Dakota
have done as we'll. Two Democrats sit
in the seats lately filled by Spooner ahd
Sawyer, of Wisconsin. and Minnesota
and Iowa are eXdected to add one each
to the Democratic strength in the senate
two years later.

TO sHIRK RESPONSIBILITY.

Mayor WRIGHT evidently does not
crave responsibility in the matter of
enforcing the laws. The law and order
people have forced him to a point where
he must either fish or cut bait, and as
last extremity he is appealing to the
common council for support. The meet
ing of the law and order people of last
month formulated petition to him, ask
ing that he strictly enforce the law in
the matter of Sunday closing and the
licensing of saloons which have violated
the law with reference to selling on
Sunday and to minors. The mayor sent
the petition to the common council, and
it fell into the hands of the license COM
mittee of the board of aldermen. of
which Aid. ZIMMERMAN is chairman.
The committee met Saturday, and I'm
MERRIAM introduced a resolution to
report to the council recommending
that the laws be enforced IN accord
ance with the petition.
The board of aldermen will undoubt-
eddy vote the resolution down, and, il it
does not, the chances ara ten to one
that the assembly will. But it is doubt
full if the law and order element will
accept this makeshift as relieving the
mayor from responsibility. The law is
on the books of both the state and city,
and the council has nothing whatever
to do with it; it has no power to say
whether the mayor shall or shall not
enforce it. The executive is under an
obligation to these people from which
he cannot relieve himself by such an
expedient, as he will undoubtedly learn
later. They were large share of the
backbone of his campaign, and they did
not intend that lie should pursue
"wide open policy" If he fails to COM
ply with their wish it is~verY evident
that they will pronounce curse upon
and set him adrift.

NO SPECIAL PROVIDENCE.
Some Caustic Remarks on Indian
Mound Park.

Some Caustic Remarks on Indian
Mound Park.
To the Editor Of the Globe.
An attorney for the Indian Mound
parkers before the board of public
works said with tragic emphasis that
God made the Indian mounds for a
park. He stated it as matter of his
own knowledge, for no testimony had
been introduced on that point. l don't
believe God ever told any lawyer what
He was doing things fOr-its too risky.
Now. if He made it for a park He
could keep it for one without asking
the city to buy it. If He made it for a
park He made two great mistakes. He
put it in a dreadfully lonesome place.
where folks on three sides of it can't
get to it without 200-foot ladders. And
second, IN not putting in a hundred
tnOuSand-dnllar retaining wall to keep
the darned thing from sliding down on
TO and perhaps killing poor Mr.. Dillon.
Besides, the story is very old dodge,
and the lawyer ought 10 have been
ashamed of himself for trying it on the
board. 1t was used a long time ago on
an occasion where some pedestrians
saw an ass tied TO fence and the leader
WdHteu Lo rue 100 prudent 10 venture
himself, he sent one of the boys to bring
1t, and told him if the owner made
fuss about it to tell him God wanted it
to ride on. But the boy got away with
the ass before the owner saw him. and
did not have to use the story. Not so
with the park fellows; they struck a
fuss and used the same story. The fact
is, the lawyer just guessed at it, as the
fellow did who sold a NANCY pup as
great rabbit dog, and when the DUR
chaser complained he said he knew tie
dog was not worth curse for ANYTHING
else. ana therefore concluded thai he
was perfectly immense for rabbits.
