A Novel Case.

A rather novel case came up yes
terday before Judge Aver OF the pro-
bate court. but owing to the fact
that the attorneys on either side
were unprepared to go on, the mat
ter was deferred. 1t is alleged that
during the life Of the late Chas. Nj.
Cushman and beginning in 1879, he
entered into q contract with W. X.
Rogers, by which each party was to
stand half the expense OF maintain
ing a 65O-acre wheat farm near Bis
mark, n. D., and that the profits, il
there were any, should he divided IN
the same way. Mr.. Rogers, by his
attorney, Henry $, Mahan. claims
that during the four or five years the
farm was conducted under the pro-
visions of the contract that for some
reason there was a deficit Of about
5000. This amount he claims lie
paid and seeks to recover half Of 1t
or ST., 800, from the Cushman estate,
of which Lewis +. Peterson is admin
istrator. The legality Of the claim
is absolutely denied by the council
for the administrator, and by con-
sent the matter was postponed until
March. Messrs. Lewis l. McManus
are council for the estate.
Mr.. Rogers, who makes the claim,
was private secretary to the late
President Hayes and has at different
times been president OF the Duluth
State Bnnk and a member of the Du-
luth park commission.-News Trib-

Hawaii.

The commissioners who ask for the an
nexation Of the Hawaiian Islands par
tcularly ask that the cv..ntry be made a
territory, not state. T., is On account
Of the mixed and III ,.!gruous nature of
the pop; ',tit>,. Out 7ide Of New Y ork city
there is probably scarcely such another
mix in the world. The native Sand
wich Islanders 60 not constitute even
half the population, Which is 10000
About 10000 are natives and half castes
Vhere are 13,CC0 Chinese, chiefly laborers
on the sugar plantations. 1t is an odd
fact that there are nearly as many Chi
nese and japanese as natives. There are
10000 japanese.
The chief exports of Hawaii are sugar,
rice, bananas and some hides The realm
over which Lilioul.alani reigned num-
bers Is islands, occupying a total area Of
6,640 square miles. Only Of the Is
islands are Inhabited The capital of
Hawaii, Honolulu, is on the island of
Oahu and has perhaps $4,000 inhabit-
ants. The great volcano, Mauna Loa,
with it's many craters, is on the island
of Hawaii. Lorin A. Thurston, head of
the commission seeking annexation, is a
live American Yankee, though born in
Honolulu, and he has shown it by build
ing large hotel at the mouth of the
great volcano. The United States har-
Dor has already the exclusive right to a
naval station on the islands 1t is Pearl

it has never been properly improved

Philanthropy and business.

E. fnllg0CEropy anG HuB1ncss.
During the late terrible cold weather
number Of phi'anthropic citizens in
Cincinnati united their funds and pur-
chased coal in large quantities for the
poor, which was resold to them at the
lowest rates or given to them outright.
A benevolent Jewish gentleman in New
York city did something of the same
kind He bought large quantities of
ce\! and sold it at cost to the poor who
buy their fuel by the scuttleful or by the
100-pound bag. 1t is the most wasteful
possible way to buy coal, the dealers
making from first to last profit that
would appall the buyer if he knew it.
But to these misguided small purchasing
individuals the benevolent New Yorker
sold the scuttlefuls of fuel for just what
he paid for it, himself defraying the cost
of transportation to the spot where he
retailed it.
It was great service to the suffering
this winter on the part Of both the Gin
cinnati business men and the New York
philanthropist. But there is one way in
which they and others might be of still
greater service not only to the poor, bat
to everybody. There are hundreds Of
wealthy men in every city who would
like to do something to help those less
favored than themselves. At tie same
time they would not be averse to turning
an honest penny in their own behalf.
Suppose number Of such first class citi-
zens establish fund Of, say, 81 100000,
or $500,O00 i'll small city. With this
they go into the coal trade themselves.
1t should not be On charitable basis,
but on strictly business one. Let them
buy from the mines a great quantity Of
coal, enough to supply both rich and
poor. Then let them say: We will count
the cost Of this coal in every particular.
We will sell it to consumers at price
that will give us, say, a profit Of per
cent on our money. We will have no
selling On credit, not a cent. 1t must be
cash or no coal We will guarantee
weights and measures.
On such a basis the saving to the pub
liza few dollars Oh TIE year to each
family mount upinto the millions
to whole city. The coal supply would
be perfect, and the lhilanthropic mil
ionaires would get reasonable profit.
Best Of all, there would be no favor of
charity about the enterprise.

LEGISLATIVE LETTER.
Laws are Being Made, and Both
Houses Making Fair
Progress.

The present legislature evidently
proposes to redeem pledges concern
ing grain and warehouse and labor
legislation, and several important
measures are we'll on their way.
The producers will be guaranteed
freedom OF market by laws that will
compel the railroad companies to
grant sites on their right of way for
warehouses. The bills in the interest
of the former meet the approval of
the best judges of what legislation
is needed in that direction and will
become laws. 1t has been several
years since any important acts have
been passed in reference to the grain
shipping business.
~
The legislature will also pass Il
factory inspection law, and provide
for the additional force needed in the
bureau OF labor statistics. These
changes are demanded by the labor
organizations OF the state, and are in
line with the general movement to
advance the interests of employees.
There is some disposition among
those who come from localities where
the labor question is of little interest
to oppose these, but in return for
the support cheerfully given to laws
that aid the farmers it is quite
probable that the country members
will aid those from the cities in
passing the factory inspection,
labor bureau and other laws Of that
class. Commissioner Power seems
to have the confidence OF the labor
unions and is certainly an active
| worker in the interests OF labOring
classes.
To show that the house is a
"refOrm'' body bill to prohibit
pool selling was beaten by a close
vote and a law making cigarette
smoking a misdemeanOr was passed
| by a unanimous vote under
suspension of the rules.

Among the matters that claim the at
tention Of the present British parlia-
ment besides home rule for Ireland are
the shortening of the term of parlia-
ment, which is now seven years, the
amending of the electoral system so as
to limit each voter to a single vote and
the extension of a method Of local self
government similar to that which has
always obtained in the counties and
towns of the United States John Bull
is beginning to learn from us that it is
safe to let towns, cities and counties
manage their own affairs. But the
measure by which this parliament will
make itself historic will be the passage
of the home rule bill-that is, if it does
pass. It will be Gla3Htcne's second bill
for Irish home rule. His majority will
be 81 at the outside in parliament. The
home rule bill, however, though it takes

Will Consolidate.

The people of our city have been in
formed by the Journal-Press hereto
fore that there was scheme on foot
to consolidate several of the st. Cloud
corporations under one manage
ment. The paper is now authorized
to say that arrangements have been
perfected to accomplish the result.
If the bill now pending in the legis-
lature, becomes a law, the con-
solidation will take place at an early
date. AS this proposed legislation
would only give the consolidated
companies the same rights, powers
and privileges now enjoyed by each
separately, there is no doubt of the
passage OF the bill.
The companies to be united are the
Water Power and Mill company, the
Electric Street Car company, the Gas
and Electric Light company, and the
Water Works company. Mr.. E. r..
Sykes has disposed of his interests in
the latter company, which is now
owned by st. Cloud and Eastern par
ties. A Journal-Press reporter to-
day interviewed Mr.. C. S. Benson,
who said:
| THE reason for the proposed con-
soldatiOn is that most of those com
panies have been unproductive, and
it is believed that by putting them
under one management that, they
could be operated with greater econ
omy, and at much less expense, and
thus make one productive company
by the unification. A majority OF
the stock will he held in st. Cloud
the balance being held by capitalists
in the East. This consolidation will
give us increased capital, and put
these companies on Il better footing
than ever, and enable us to give the
city better service than ever. Jour
