WEEKS ago he called the attention OF
the authorities to the fact that the city

been in the matter Is not chargeable to
him. His inspectors have been out at
all times, watching for attractions OF the
ordinance prohibiting the dumping of
garbage in the city limits; and whatever
violations have taken place were not
through any want of vigilance on the

DEAD SEA APPLES.

The farmers of the state are to be
placated with as insipid a sop as was
ever flung to Cerberus. They have
asked for bread, and are coutemptu-
ously tossed a stone. They ask for
fruit, and are handed Dead Sea apples
that look tempting and luscious and
will turn to ashes on their lips
Among the measures passed was one
which gives to any person wishing to
construct an elevator on the right of
way of any railroad, at its stations or
sidings, the right to tender the company,
with his application for permission,
what he may consider the value of the
site; and, If the company refuse him.
the act authorizes him to apply to the
court to have the value ascertained and
the site taken under condemnation pro-
ceedings.
In the early days of railroad construc-
tion the question was raised whether the
state could delegate its power of emf
nent domain to a corporation organized
to transact private business; whether
condemnation of private property for
railroad purposes was not taking of
private property for private purposes,
and therefore an unconstitutional act.
Courts at first held this view, but they
gradually yielded to the necessities of
the case. and escaped from the dilemma
by holding that railroads were quasi
public institutions, and that the taking
of private property for their use was a
taking for a public purpose.
But no court anywhere, we believe.
has gone to the length of holding that
private property may be taken under
the power of eminent domain for private
purposes. In the Tupelo case the
federal supreme court held that tax to
build a grist mill could not be sustained,
because it took property for a private
purpose. 1t may be that the companies
will not resist this act; the fact that it
is an act shows, though, that they have
refused permission to persons to build
elevators on their rights of way. 1t is
fair TO suppose that they will test the
constitutionality of this act.
If such an action is taken by any per-
son, he will have to establish that the
elevator business has public purpose.
Is the buying of grain, or the handling,
storing and shipping of it. public pur-
pose? Can it be made by any process
of quibbling to be anything more of a
public business than is the buying and
selling of merchandise or machinery or
groceries or boots and shoes? And if
he fail to identify his business with the
"puhlic purpose" for which private
property may thus be condemned and
taken. what standing will he have in
court?
The farmer members were a little
surprised at the ease with which this
measure went through; they anticipated
a fight on it. The first condemnation
proceedings brought under the act will
reveal to them why their bill glided
through so smoothly.

from high official of the state that the
difference between the expenditures Of
the two legislatures is just the amount
usually expended for newspapers and
postage. In every other instance the
last legislature was just as eXtravagant
as its predecessor. and it little becomes
any member of the legislature to claim
economy in the same breath that he ad
mits that he did not buy, therefore did
not read, the newspapers. Had the
members done less log rolling and more
reading, there is little reason to doubt
that they would have passed more meas

COUNTERFEITERs' CHANCE.

Bogus Dollars Can Be Made of
Genuine Silver at Profit.
CHICAGO. April 19.-The Journal to-
night prints an elaborate article sug
gesting the possibility of the manu-
facture of silver coin from standard
metal in exact imitation of the genuine,
and Its circulation On an extensive scale
throughout the United States, the coun-
terfeiters to depend for their profits
upon the difference between the bullion
value and the legal tender value of the
silver after coinage. The margin Of
gross profit on such an operation, ac-
cording to the Journal, would approx
mate 40 to 45 per cent with silver at its
current bullion value, the market price
having fallen from S1.20 per ounce to
about so cents in less than three years.
Mexico is mentioned as dangerously
ideal place to locate such an enterprise.
1t Is admitted that large capital would
be required. No evidence is submitted
that any wholesale operation of the
kind is actually being carried on.

SwindIing the Farmers.

Crookston Daily Times.
A very smooth scheme is being worked
by Chicago sharpers upon the unsophis-
ticated farmers of the Northwest. These
sharperS are sending out circulars ask
ing the farmers to send in buShel of
wheat. charges prepaid, and they agree
to sort each bushel. taking out the de-
fective grains, after which the wheat is
to be put in glass case for exhibition
at the worlds fair, labeled with the
name of the farmer who raised it and
the location of his farm. Already thou
sands of suckers have been caught. and
the bushels of wheat are rolling in so
fast that it requires six teams to haul 1t
to the elevators where, after taking out
enough to fill half pint bottle, the rest
is sold, and already nice little sum has
been realized by the transaction.

OPPOSED TO MILLER.
The New Yorker Will Resign the
Nicaragua Canal Presidency.


New YORK, April 19.-The stockhold-
ers of the Nicaragua Canal company
will meet tomorrow. 1t is stated that
Warner Miller will resign as president,
and that Smith NJ. Weed, of Platts-
burg, N. Y, will succeed him.
A morning paper will say that there is
opposition to MIR. Miller from English
investors. 1t is said that as the English
investors are particularly interested in
discovering Mr.. Cleveland's vie VS. on
the subject of the completion of the
canal, it is imperative that there
should be change of control, and the
substitution for Miller of a repre-
sentative who can treat with the pres
ent administration. 1t is stated that
the English investors were desrous of
completing the canal through the aid of
JOINT subsidy from the British and
American governments. They estimate
that it will require S65, ZOO, 900, and say
that England is willing to guarantee her
share. The plan is to insure dividend
of per cent for seven years and to
guarantee the repayment of the subsidy
IN ten years.

PROGRESSIVE SENTENCES.
Important Workhouse Legislation
Enacted by Buckeyes.

CLEVELAND, o., April l9.-The Hide
brand sentence bill, which passed the
Ohio general assembly last week, is the
most important workhouse legislation
enacted IN the United States this
winter. 1t makes distinct innovation
in the management of public work
houses, and is of wide interest in the
progress of prison reform. The Hide
brand law proposes to apply the habitu-
al criminal principle. The second SEN
tence of any culprit is to be twice that
of the first, and the third twice as long
as the second. After the third convic-
ton the misdemeanant can be sentenced
from one to three years. at the discre-
ton of the court. The purpose is to
give the prisoner time to reform and
learn useful trade, while saving the
public the large expense of his frequent
arrests and convictions. 1t is said to be
the first measure of the kind ever en-
acted in this country. and it is indOrsed
by President Brinkerhotf, of the Nation
al Prison Reform association, and many
other eminent penologists.

AN OLD SONG.

Where sunlight sets its latticed CLEANS
On oaken walls a-dance,
There Doris sits; there Doris dreams
Of mirth and old romance.
For while she plies the spinet's keys
And huns this ancient song,
She sees. through rudy light she see
The hall with guests a-throng.
She hears the viol's tender note
Lead forth the trembling flute,
To set with grace the light gayotte
For dancers blithe OF foot
Nor wots the maid that earth is boon
With tunes as bright today
'Tis still for youth wistful tune
That once the world was gay.
So Doris dreams that bliss befell
When this ola song was new;
Yet round these walIs grim faces tell
How mirth was won with rue.
