a bill has been introduced in the
state senate to resubmit the constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting special
legislation. There would he some ex-
cuse for resubmission if there were
either pucic necessity OF popular
demand for resubmissivn. But there
is no popular demand whatever for
the bill. Indeed, the general senti-
ment ofthe state, barring a few local
tiles which want bridge appropriations
and~a few politicians whose log-roll-
ing schemes are frustrated,i is emphat-
icalIy against the bill and its log-roll-
ing and woodchuck concomitants.
There is no public necessity for the
change. What other states have
done in providing generl laws tc
supersede special legislation Mime
sofa can do. 1t might have been bet.
ter in the first place to have had the
general legislation we'll under way be-
fore the prohibition of special legisla-
ton went into effect, but now that the
law is in force and the general legis-
lation is we'll on the road, let the
good cause alone. The state has got
beyond the point in it's development
where state legislation should be
dragged in the mud of dog-and-ditcl
laws.-Minneapolis Tribune.

The important results promised

The important results promised
some time ago from pneumatic tube
service seem to have been realized to
a considerable extent OH the other
side, although we have not been so
quick to utilize the system III this
country. In England there are now
fifty miles of such tubes in operation,
transmitting one hundred and five
thousand messages per day, the long
est tube in London being little over
two miles in length. In Paris tubes
are used almost exclusively for trans
mission Of local kilograms and letters
stamped for special delivery. These
messages, costing ten cents for. trans
mission, are delivered anywhere in
Paris within an hour. and oft ener in
less than half that time. Vienna has
also adopted this excellent system foa
quick delivery; and for six cents let
ters are delivered in the city Limits
within an hour from tho time of mail
ing. The pneumatic tube system of
Berlin is excellently managed, and
wonderful results are secured at a
thrilling cast. Tuoe messages are de
livered with greater promptitude than
kilograms, and for a cost Of only seven
and half cents; the whole system be.
ing operated by steam engines, whose
aggregate force only represents one
hundred and twenty-ei eight horse pow.

The Washington co:respo ndet Of
the Pioneer Press says: People here
are still discussing the disagreeable
weather of Inauguration day, and the

day of inauguration be fixed in May
when the weather will be mild even if
it happens to be stormy. OF course
there are others who say that all that
is necessary is FOR the president elect
to go up to the capitol and be sworn
in and the vast amount Of red tape

this is no doubt true, yet the great
American public demand something
of the sort, and as long as no amount
of talk of bad weather can prevent
