THE RIGHT 1raN FOR IT.

If JACOB SCHOENHoF, of New York,
will take the position of statiStician of
the treasury, President CLEVELAND or
his secretary of the treasury. or who
ever may have the power of appoint
ment to this place, could find no
worthier, or more deserving, or more
capable man for 1t than is Mr.. SCHoEN-
HOE. No onewho has studied the question
of taxation by tariff for the purpose of
affecting wages, but owes very much to
this tireess investigator. 1t was lie
who discovered and demonstrated the
industrial law that high-prced wages
produce low-priced goods, and the re-
verse, that low wages result in high
priced goods.
Sent by Mr.. CLEVELAND nominally as
consul to TunStal, but really with a row
ing commission to investigate the Ques-
ton of labor cost, his consular reports
are replete with detailed and accurate
information. Taking articles made in
this country, with statements from the
manufacturer showing in detail the labor
cost of production, he visited establish
ments in England and on the continent
where similar articles were made, get
ting the labor cost there. In every in
stance he showed that, measured by the
amount of product, the American work
ingman was paid less than his foreign
fellow craftsman, although, measured
by the amount earned each week. the
American received twice or three times
as much money. No student Of eco
Monies would consider his library com
plete without Mr.. SCHoENHOF's writ
mrs and reports.

The SPOILS.

We have not the remotest idea that
Gov. Nelson would follow any sugges-
ton we would make; but we would like
to see him put some new, clean men in
Office and leave out the old gang, that
has been feeding at the public cribs for
quarter OF a century.-Faribault Pilot.
The Minnesota legislature has been
organized by the Republican party for
the Republican party, with all the name
implies. Instead of making any cur
tallment Of expense an additional num-
Der of officers and clerks have been
chosen over former legislatures. The
Republican leaders are aware that this
is their last lease Of power at the state
capital and they are determined to
make the most of it. The Republican
politician who fails to get his hand into
the public crib at this quarterly meet
ing'' might as we'll hang his harp on the
willows !-Winona Herald.
Senator Mott and his siXteen-year-old
bow are attracting considerable atten-
ton, not by reason of anything par
ticularly attractive or interesting, but
because of the fathers determined fight
to have his boy elected to an Office that
is worth So day. Mott is all Alliance
senator, and he is endeavoring to get
pAll OH the Republicans that will place
the boy in the position. The almighty
dollar catches the Alliance man the
same as the rest of us.-Stillwater Ga
Zette.
G There is a goodly number of editors
hovering around the legislature looking
tor positions. They are men, SO the
dailies say, that have done great service
for their party. A number of them we
notice. eXerted themselves pretty hard

committee, and their patent sides were
filled with "red-hot Republican arti-
cles.'' for which the patent houses got
paid When it came to getting pay the
editors weren't in it.-Slayton Gazette.

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

The legislature organized by the cleo
ton of Hon. w. Lee as speaker. Mr..
Lee is man of considerable legislative
experience, and is said to have much
executive ability.-Appleton Press.
Upon the shoulders Of Senator Davis
both Langum and Nelson were tOted
into the legislature. Now, what is their
initiat0ry record? Both turn boilers.
and both stay out of the caucus called
to nominate speaker and to perfect
the organization of the legislature pre-
paratory to the election of Mr.. Davis.
The Sun might applaud an honorable
act in both Langum and Nelson calcu-
lated to demOraliZe the Republican par
ty. But when it GENES to setting the
seal of approval upon course OF per-
tidy or treachery. such as is inherent i'll
this caucuS-bolting business, Of which
both Langum and Nelson are guilty, we
ask to be excused For the sake of
Fillmore county, tbs Sun deplores this
unwise and suicidal action of Langum
and Nelson.-Spring Valley Sun.
Monday night last the Republicans Of
the legislature met in caucus and nomi-
mated W. E. Lee for speaker. A. j.
Greer, one of the other candidates for
the position, refused TO enter the caucus,
and played the demagogue by trying to
make it appear that he was the repre-
sentative of the agricultural interests of
the state and Mr.. Lee was controlled by
the cities. His plan was to delay pro-
ceedings and thus demOralize the Re-
publican organization, in the hope of
reaping reward from the break.-TOdd
County Argus.
The house was organized on Tuesday
and Mr.. Lee elected. We are disap-
pointed. We were led to believe that
Mr.. Greer had some chance. and we
hoped he would redeem himself from
his defeat for the congressional nomila-
ton last summer But he didn't muster
strength enough to be even factor in
the SpeakerShip fight, Allen seems to
be all right in the upper legislative dis
trict, but when he get away from home
he doesn't seem to be I'm t.'-W abaSha
Herald.
Mr.. Greer appears to have made some
thing of a fight, but as his followers
were in hopeless minority he stood no
chance. He issued manifesto giving
his reasons, but it amounted to nothing
against the behestS of the party mana
gers. of whom he does not appear to be
one. He claims that in the organization
of the house it was the Twin Cities
against the country, against the agri-
cultural interests of the state, and that
Mr.. Lee represented in reality Min
neapoliS and st. Paul, and had promised
to carry out their wishes in the appoint
ment of committees. He also claims
that the rings and corporations were
against him, and declared that he would
not submit to such dictatioh, but his
future actions will tell whether he will
dare to oppose these combinatio =

THE FESTIVE KANGAROO.

The kangaroo is product not indig-
enous to North American soil, but 1t
is proposed to remedy this oversight OF
nature. A movement has been set on
foot looking to the admission and nat
urallzation Of the kangaroo as free
holder on our Western plains.
And why not? While immigration is
having its swing, why should the tes-
tive kangaroo be shut out? 1t isn't a
handsome beast, nor yet graceful one.
but it has its points Of superiority over
certain unwashed and uncombed anar
chistic varieties of immigrants. 1t is
good, at least, fer leather, and some
two-footed immigrants are too tough,
even for that. While we are letting in
Europe's scum, why not let in Aus
tralia's pride and blessing? The kanga-
roo is not only good for leather, out it
is likewise good to eat, if you aren't
overparticular; and it is famous sport
to 90 kangaroo hunting
The GLOBE seconds the motion in
favor of kangaroos. Let 'em in on the
ground floor and on the free list. BY
and by, when the thing is fairly under
way, we can slap on a tariff to protect
our infant kangaroo industry.
And why not go farther? Why not
let in the whangdoodle, the baboon and
the jo-jo on the same terms? There is
lots of room in Uncle Sans back yard,
and the more the merrIer.

RISCOCK'S SUCCESSOR.

Perhaps Mr.. Cleveland does not love
BourFe Cochran more but Mr.. Murphy

Mr.. Cleveland ought to have known
better. He will have all the Murphys
against hin.-Toledo Blade.
Cleveland is the chosen and trusted
leader of Democracy. Good luck to him
in his fight with the Murphy machine
Kansas City Star.
There is one hope that MIR. Murphy
may as we'll abandon now. Mr.. CleVe-
land will never introduce him into
Washington Society.-ROchester Demo-
Graf.
Mr.. Cleveland has laid himself liable
to be loved some more, as his fulmina-
many desirable new nemies.-Atlanta
journal.
Murphy can afford to smile at the OPP
position of Cleveland, in view of the
fact that Hill is the man who has the
naming of the next senator from New
York.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
1t should be borne in mind that Ed
ward Murphy Jr. was a contidante and
a co-worker of Samuel j. Tilden. We
Judge from this that he is ii man of
more than ordinary ability Atlanta

Perhaps if Mr.. Murphy were offered
the pick of cabinet seats he might be
induced to withdraw from the senatorial

THE LEGISLATURE.

The legislature is Republican in both
branches, and the party may reasonably
be held to strict account for legislation.
Its responsibility is commensurate with
its opportunity. 1t can make a record
which will so strengthen the party in
this state that two years hence there
FMlll he no question as to the results of
sthe election. On the other hands ii it
Hail to rise to the high water mark Of
Expectation it will earn vote of lack Of
confidence at the pollS.-Sauk Center
Herald.
FL First in Importance among the meas
hreS that will come before them will be
the thorough remodeling OF the system
now in vogue for the construction and
pretended maintenance of the highways
of the state. An efficient committee
should be appointed at once, and there
should be thorough investigation, so
that the best plans may be adopted
that will insure good roads. 1t is a
matter that should not be left to the
hurry and turmoil of business near the
close Of the SeSSion.-Chatfield Demo
crat.
Now that the legislature has COM
menced its work we trust it will prove
to be truly reform body. While there
is not little needed legislation, there
has been much time wasted by prior
legislatures in needless APPOINTMENTS.
and prolonged discussion of bills. The
present body will commend itself to the
people by avoiding the mistakes of its
predecessors, and giving us short bust
ness session.-Appleton Press.
Several things are Indicated by the
organization of the legislature. One is
that Mr.. Davis will be elected to succeed
himself. Another is that neither the
Farmers Alliance or the Peoples party
have any Observation-Disclosures it looks
as ii there was not much left of either
OF these parties, their representative adj
herentS in the legislature going back to
the parties to which they had formerly
belonged.-Northfield Independent.
With the Republicans in control of
both branches OF the legislature, there
will not be much t0mfoolery tolerated
by the Republicans of the country dis
tricts. They have elected Republic
can legislature and have a right to de-
mand the enactment Of wholesome
laws. No jobbery can be tolerated. If
this Republican legislature does not do
its duty III a manner to keep faith with
the people there may be greater polit-
ical upheaval in this state two years
hence than there was two years ago
Slayton Gazette.
Mr.. Donnelly thinks that with wheat
at 40 cents legislative expenses should
be brought down to the same basis. We
agree with the gentleman from Min
niger for once, and hope that he will be
able to bring about such a result

SPEAkEIR SuLHER.

The youngsters are coming to the
front. WILLIAM SULzER, newly elected
speaker OF the lower house OF the New
York legislature, had no war record to
boost him into Office, for the simple rea-
son that the late unpleasantness was on
its last pegs when this particular scion
Of the house of SULZER first appeared
on the scene of his future greatness.
Notwithstanding his Teutonic patro-
nymic, WILLIAM SULzER is a native
born American. He was born. reared
and educated in New York city, and
his motto is: "Gothamite sum; nihil
Knickerbocker me alienum puto." He
is but few years out Of Columbia COL
lege, and the only difference between
him and most other university tledge
lings is that, while the latter think they
are going to grab fame and greatness by
the short hair in short order, WILLIAM
SULZER has really done the trick. Being
still on the under side Of his thirtieth
birthday, he already holds the third
highest position in the leading state Of
the Union.
1t is good thing. this infusion of
young blood and fresh energy into af-
fairs political. 1t leavens the lump of
the body polite that else might harden
and CONCEAL into the crusty mold of un-
progressive years.

You'll bid defiance to Queen, Rook and all.

And safely help to crown new and royal

A GOTHAM MY STERY.
DR.. Parkhurst CIoseted With a
Police Justice

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Dr. ParkhurSt,
two young women, Mr.. Maratt. an
agent of the Society for the Prevention
of Crime, and stenographer entered
Yorlvile court last evening and went
directly to the private examination
room. There was considerable secrecy
about their movements. After the Wis
itors had entered the room Justice
Taintor left the bench and joined them.
DR.. PaTkhurst and his compan-
ions remained in the room for
some time in consultation. Justice
Taintor left the room several
times, apparently to get subpGnas and
summonses. Clerks and other court
officers tried in vain to get an idea of
what was gong on in the private room.
When it became known that the justice
had dispensed with the official court
stenographer. Il rumor became current
that the proceedings would lead to a
big "shake-up" in the police depart
ment. The session was long, and it is
believed that considerable evidence was
taken. Justice Taintor refused to allow
any information regarding the confer
ence to be given out. When spoken to.
he SAID: This is strictly private, aud
the examination is of great Importance.
This investigation is TO determine
whether warrants will be issued and ar
rests made" He declined TO make any
other explanation.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. by a deci-

Mcbride gets possession of and title to
120 acres of land in the city of Tacoma,
which is valued at S5O0,000. In 1899
twenty citizens of Tacoma filed on the
land in mineral claims of twenty acres
each. Mcbride bought these claims at
from 800 to $500 each, ana put $4,000
into improvements, and then applied
for patents. This was refused. and,
after twenty-five days legal hight III the
local land office, the case was decided
