THE JOINT MEETING.

The Joint council discussion of the
new city railway ordinance of tomorrow
evening is proper. The ordinance
should be thoroughly discussed and un-
derstood before it is adopted. No one
will complain of honest caution in the
matter. So long as the consideration is
promoted only for the purpose OF doing
the best thing for the city under the
circumstances. and personal ends are
not allowed to become influential, no
one can complain. The common coun-
ell only represents the people, and since
this matter concerns the city at large
the members would be untrue to their
trust were they to act from per-
soDal motives or desire to serve
the interests of mere section OF the
city. 1t is greatly to be hoped that
tomorrow evening every member of the
common council will place in the back
ground completely everything which
arises from wish to serve personal,
political or sectional ends, and try to
look at the matter fr ON motive to fur
Their the interests of the whole city. If
they do that, the GLOBE believes the
meeting will decide that the Interests of
the city are best served by adopting the
ordinance. Mr.. Lowry has made
marked concessions, and ones which we
are powerless to gain by force, as may
be found if the ordinance is rejected.
We will gain the boulevarding Of Uni
versity avenue. for there is no ordinance
provision in force now which cOmpelS
the company to make this Improvement.
And so we will gain many other things
which are equally important.

ATTORNEY GENERALS OPlN-
ION

Attorney General CHLDS has an
severed the resolution of the senate ask
ing him for his opinion whether the
MARKHAM bill will release the railroads
from the payment of the gross earnings
tax if enacted. He arrives, in the opin-
ion printed elsewhere, at the conclusion
that it will not.
lie reaches this conclusion by line
of verycogent reasoning, which should
be sufficient to set at rest the fears of
those senators who are opposed TO tina
bill because OF its apprehen1ed effect TO
release the companies from the gross
earnings tax.
He divides the land Of the companies
into three classes: Those used in their
operation aud contributing TO their earn
ings. those held for speculation, and
those held under grant from the state.
Those actually used in the purposes for
which the road is constructed are eX-
emptu nder the gross earnings law as
substituted method of taxing. Those
held out of use and for speculative pur-
poses have been decided to be not eX-
empt by the supreme court. Those
held by public grant since the
adoption of the constitution, under
acts of the legislature, are taxable
because the acts granting immunity
were unconstitutional, save so far as
validated by the amendment OF 1871.
That provides for the ratification by the
people of any act amending any law
which eXempts the real estate, personal
property, ETC., of any railroad from tax
alton on payment of the gross earnings
tax. The attorney general finds
distinction between real estate" as
used in the amendment and the words
'land grant" The real estate" re-
ferred to in the amendment is such land
as a railroad can properly take and hold
as essential to the purposes for which it
is created. Land grants" are not es-
sential.
The opinion should set at rest any
honest doubt that may have existed in
the mind of any senator. 1t removes
all apprehension of responsibility for
favorable vote. On the other hand, pub
lie opinion suStains the bill. Justice to
the settlers in the counties affected d e.
mands its passage. Justice to the ill.,
terests of the state, which are not
served by the holding from tax alton and
for speculation of large tracts of land,
| demands it. Justice to those roads
which are now paying tax on tn cir
gross earnings and have no land grants
requires it.
Large, powerful and wealthy inter
ests are back of the opposition to the
bill. 1t is to be expected that they will
pursue the methods of procuring the de-
feat of this measure with which they are
so familiar. The senator, then. who, with
this opinion OF the law adviser of the
state before him supporting an affirm
ative vote. votes against the bill, will
have the task Of devlsing an eXplana-
ton to his constituents for his negative
vote which will contain stronger argu-
ments than the attorney generals, and
stronger than mere apprehension that
the bill would endanger the gross earn
ings tax. They will find this an eX
t:emely difficult undertaking.

RAMSEY COUNTY JUSTICE

The recent disagreement of Ramsey
county jury in the trial of serious
criminal charge will quite generally be
regarded as another proof that it is next
to impossible to convict one of a serious
crime before a jury of this locality.
Whatever the merits of this case may
be, certain it is that the average con-
victing sentiment here is very weak,
particularly tor the gravest crimes. In
the past few years Minneapolis and sew
eral other cities of the state have hanged
murderers who, in all probability, would
have been either set at liberty or
found guilty OF manslaughter by
a Ramsey county jury. The past
five years several as cold-blooded muir
derers as were ever taken into a court
of Justice have been liberated by our
iuries, and several more are serving
only terms of years in the state prison.
From early in April $780, to the middle
of February, 1891, six horrible murders
were committed in the city. Two of the
murderers made the mistake of commit
ting suicide, two were liberated bv the
Juries, and two, who should have been
hanged, are serving life sentences, and
will probably be at liberty in the course
OF few years. In 1889 two shocking
murders were committed. and the evil
dence against the perpetrators was con-
elusive in each case. One of them is
serving life sentence, and the other is
serving a term of about fifteen years.
Some two or three murder trials have
been held during the past two years.
but the last life sentence pronounced
was that of the Italian who murdered
another Italian in Arion hall Feb. Is,
1891. 1t is still fresh in the public mind

DICTUM OF CAUCUS.
Republicans VIII Endeavor to
Shorten the Session at Least
Ten Days.
Senator Sanborn's Silver Reso-
luton IndOPsed-Chicago Trip
Not Favored.

The present session of the legislature
would not expire by Limitation until
April Is. 1t may be ended April 10, or
Whereabouts, if the action of Repub-
lican caucus held last night at the
Windsor is Endorsed in open session OF
the house and senate.
There were about thirty or thirty-fVe
Republican members OF the house pres
ent, with Mr.. Turrell presiding. The
air of the committee room grew very
hot. and Mr. jacobson grew very earn
est in his remarks, as he usually does,
but Notwithstanding, it was with re-
luctance that a door was opened which
enabled interested listeners to earn
their wages.
There was practical unanimity Oh the
proposition to try and shorten the ses-
sion ten days. A concurrent resolution
will be introduced embOdying the die
tum of caucus. But last night grave
doubts were expressed at to what ac-
ton the senate might take on it.
The Sanborn silyer-dolar resolution
was indOrSed, so far as a majority OF
those present could indorse it. Mr..
jacobson and several others were in
favor Of out aud out free coinage of sill
yer, while several expressed themselves
as determined to vote nay Oh the San
born resolution, caucus or no caucus.
They intimated it was in the immedi-
ate interest of the bankers.
1t was decided that the proposed trip
to Chicago should not be taken until the
close of the session. AS hardly ma
jority even of the Republican members
was present, this action may not be rati-
fed in the house. Possibly it may.
A proposition to have the house meet
at O'clock instead of 10 met with so
little favor that it was not pressed for a
minute. Now it remains to be seen
what binding force so small caucus
will have on the majority in the house.

ECONOMISTS CLASH.

The GLOBE hopes, in the interests of
that sweet harmony which should exist
between editorial brethren of the same
political kidney, that the political ecOnO-
mist of tine Tribune overlooked what the
political economist of the Pioneer Press
had to say about balance of trade in the
issue of Monday. The Tribune is rock
ribbed in the belief that when we send
out more goods than We get from
abroad the balance is liquidated in
good yellow gold, and we have in
mind now a glowing editorial in
which was pictured, as result
of protection, the nations of the
old world pouring into our-that is
the country's-lap the golden flood. On
the other hand. the Pioneer Press insists
that ''if the old theory that when ma
ton sells more than it buys it must re-
ceive the difference in gold needed dis
proof today, it should go no further than
q comparison of this steady outflow Of
gold with the statistics Of trdde."N AS
we sent out $3.50, 100000 worth of prod
uce more than we imported in the year
ending last June, we should be getting
that amount of gold now in payment if
the Tribune's economists theory is
sound. Instead of that, we are sending
our gold abroad by the million.
If the economist of the Tribune
would follow the advice or its ill-starred
choice for the presidency. and become
"a student of markets instead of
maXims. " he would find in the December
roundup of our trade, sent out by the
treasury department, material which.
may mar his visions of golden floods
rushing on US. He will fad there that
while in the calendar year 81 we sent
out merchandise IN excess of imports
amour ting to S142, 1SS, 7O3, we also sent
out S43,616,6JO more coin than we re-
ceived. In the calendar year '93, while
we sent out SCI. 233, 40 more merchan-
disc than we imported, We also sent out
S73, 296, 357 more coin than We received.
1t may possibly be an item OF interest to
him that we sent England a trifle OF
some $2O,O0O,OO0 more gold than we got
from her, although we sent her 26 per
cent of her wheat supply and 10 per
cent Of her raw cotton.

members of the council is evident from
the talk INDUCED in about the city hall.
1t was thought week ago that Aids.
Franklin and Zimmerman and Assem-
blyman Doran were the only ones who
would oppose the passage Of the ordi-
nance. From the statements made by
other members it is now certain that
several others will join with the Second
and Sixth ward aldermen in opposing
the ordinance. Aid. Copeland was
heard to remark day or so
ago that he was unable To
see any concessions the street railway
company had granted in the ordinance
which the city could not enforce under
the present. ordinance. Although the
councilmen will not be interviewed as
to their objections to the proposed ordI-
nance as it now stands. the objections
are numerous. One of the aldermen
said yesterdaythat after the amendments
made at the meeting tomorrow night
had been inserted Mr.. Lowry would
have to carefully peruse the document
in order to satisfy himself it was the
same one submitted. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that better judgment will prevail
and the ordinance agreed to.
