until Aug. 9Th. The matter was laid
over until then.
Money was borrowed from the cur
rent fund to fill out the other funds.
The matter of buying street roller

So, 800, which the city cannot afford
this year.
The engineer reported that the
N. Second street water pipe was all

THE FREIGHT COMPLAINTS.

An informal conference was held
Saturday morning before the railroad
and warehouse commission at St.Paul
between the transportation commit
tee of the Mankato board of trade and
officers of railway companies entering
Mankato. The Mankato delegates
complained that the railroads are
charging excessive rates Oh coal and
the lower classes of merchandise
shipped to Mankato. Arrangements
were made whereby the railroads are
to appoint subcommittee with pow
err to act to confer with the MankatO
committee in the near future. The
place of holding the meeting was not
decided. The board of trade was rep
resented by E. M. Pope, l.. Patterson
and o. Cassidy; the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul road by it's vice presi-
dent, e. P. Ripley and j. H. Harland,
general freight agent; The Chicago &
Northwestern road by VIII. Newman,
vice president, aud HI. @. Garvin, gen.
eral freight agent; j. T. CLARK, general
freight agent of the Omaha, appeared
for that road; the ST. Paul & Duluth
was represented by Geo. w. Bull,
general freight agent, and the Min
neapolis & ST. Louis was represented
by w. H. Truesdale and w. M. Hop
kins, general freight agent.
The railroad officials seemed desir-
Gus to Investigating the matter close
ly. recognizing its Importance, and
doing what is right.
Gen. Pope is preparing scale, show
ing the inequalities OF freight charges
on coal at points between Superior
and Omaha. The rate from Superior
to St. Paul is $3.50, to KasoGa and
Mankato 1910, to Lake Crystal 1915,
to St. James, $500, and to Mountain
Lake and all points beyond to Omaha
So 20. The rate per mile is much
higher between KaSOta and Mountain
Lake than anywhere else.

IN Milwaukee, Wis, they have taken
hold of the Plankington bank failure
in a business like way. A grand jury
has Investigated matters, and as re-
suit of the investigation the directors
and officers have been indicted. These
gentlemen are among the leading
citizens of that city, and their indict-
ment has caused profound sensation
there. Among those indicted is
Judge Jenkins, who succeeded Judge
Gresham on the United circuit bench.
The indictments charge the directors
with receiving various sums of money
on deposit after knowing the bank to
be insolvent. If bank authorities
have been reckless in the manage
ment of the affairs of their institutions
they should be made to suffer for it.
A few lessons of that kind would
prove of a most beneficial nature.
From all reports it looks as though
the Plankington bank instead of be-
ing the well managed institution
which the public supposed, was ham
died in somewhat careless manner.
1t is such banks that have met with
trouble during the past two months.
The banks which have been managed
upon strict business principles have
had no trouble. In this respect Man.
kato banks have been very fortunate,
and have gained additional prestige
for their solidity.

IN his eagerness to comply with the

IN his eagerness to comply with the
Democratic demand for reduction
of the pension list, Hoke Smith is
not covering himself with glory, The
treating of pens;oner as dishonest
until he proves himself innocent is
not in accordance with the American
idea of justice. In suspending the
payment of pensions to some parties
whose names are on the rolls, for two
or three months, until it can be found
out if there is not some possible way
in which they can be euchered out of
their pensions, the secretary of the
interior is casting slur upon their
good names and branding them as
possible criminals before any evidence
to that effect has been produced.
Wherever fraud exists the American
people will. be glad to have it rooted
out and those engaged in it punished,
but lines Of justice and common de-
cency should be followed in doing it.

The school election at New Ulm
Saturday night was the hottest ever
held in that city. The contest began
two years ago, when the members of
the Catholic, Lutheran andProtestant
churches united to down the Turn
ers and GUST Supt. Nix. They elect
ed one member of the board. Last
year they were successful carrying the
city by over 300, and securing half of
the school board. A change of feeling
came over the Methodists and good
proportion of the other Protestents
during the year, as the financial sup
port of the Turner's and others was
withdrawn from them, and the fight
this year was between the Catholics
and Lutherans on Que side and the
remainder of the community on the
other. The former called themselves
the Liberals and designated the lat
ter as the Christians. Among the lat
ter were most of the business and
professional men, including Exon
gresham Lind, Judge Weber Col.
Pfaender, Mr.. Scherer and Editor
johnson of the ReUieao. The cam
paign was a hot one and the
school meeting was held in hall,
where the balloting was done. The
clerk of court was kept busy issuing
naturalization papers. The ladies
turned out in force, and the result
was that the Liberal majority was re-
duced from oyer 300 to II. the result
was surprise to both parties. The
school beard will now be in the hands
OF the Liberals and it is question
whether they will undertake to re-
move Supt. Nix. They claimed
during the campaign that his saIry
of 81 900 was too much, while the So
called Christian party claimed that
the Catholics wanted to obtain pos
session of the school board in order to
install Catholics as teachers. The |
same spirit was shown as was involv-
ed in the fight on the Bennett law in
Wisconsin and Illinois, and the |
school boards action will be watched |
with interest.
The bids for the erection of the
residence to be built by Conductors
Root and Richardson were opened |
