LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS.

An important case comes up for argu-
ment i'll our su prpme court tomorrow
morning. Minnesota's statutes on most
subjects are in bewilderingly chaotic
condition, but our corporation laws are
obscure and unintelligible to a degree
which seems almost impossible The
theory OF our government is that legis-
latures pass laws which the Judiciary
applies. With US in practice the Judi
ciary has to perform both its own and
the legislatures functions. For years
there was tradition among LAWYERS
that stockholders in most kinds of cor
porations were liable for the CORPORA
TONS debts To an amount equal to the
par value of the shares they owned. But
it was not until our supreme court de.
cided the Minnesota Car company cases
that the question was settled, and the
character and extent of the liability de-
terinined. Now we know the law OIL
this subject, not because the legislature
has defined and fixed it, but because the
court of last resort has done SO.
There is also statute which declares
in vague. helpless sort of way, that
directors of corporations shall be liable
TOR the company's debts if they negIec.
or abuse the duties of their posi-
lions. But no man. however wise.

the supreme court will be called

WILLIE, WI: MISS YOU.

Four years ago and six years ago at
this season the remotest hamlets of Min
nes0ta were made CHEEKY with the re-
sounding laugh of William Roaring
Merriam. and the river bluffs and hill
sides echoed the deep bass notes of his
eloquent, persuasive voice. The mud
OF no country ruad was too deep to stop
the wheels OF his advancing chariot,
and he defied the wind and the weather
as he went campaigning.
This fall it is some what different. AS
we ride along from village to village
we no longer see the flaming posters
announcing his coming. and the yokels
do not gather about the stove in the
tavern at the crossroads to repeat and
comment oil the words of his latest
speech. As it appears to the GLOBE,
MIR. Merriam is displaying no feverisil
activity in the battle which is waging.
And yet it would seem that the pres.
ent was an hour in which his peculiar
talents would avail much his party and
his party'S cause. The nation s finances
and how to manage them are the issues
of today. And who knows more about
money than our genial ex-governor,
aud vino could throw a happier light
than he Oh the dark problems which
now veX mems souls?
William Roaring Merriam must take
the stump. The Republicans have
need of him. lie is especially needed
i'll the Third congressional district.
where his dear friend Joel Heatwole is
making a heroic fight against heavy
odds. joeps campaign is one of educa-
ton. He is teaching the people of his
neighborhood OH questions of finance.
tie claims to know good deal about
money. but those who hear him are not
sure that he does. Here is Mr.. Mer-
RAMS opportunity. Nobody questions
the profundity of his attaiuments in
this department of human learning. Let
him go down to the Third district and
speak good word for Joel. If any
man knows W neither Joel Heatwole is
all expert in money matters, that man is
Will Merriam. He is we'll acquainted
with Joel. He has had experience of
his skill in finance.
BY all means Mr.. Merriam should
take the stump, and especially i'll the
Third district

BENEFIp FOR THE POOR.

Event at Market Hall.

ST. Vincent de Paul Gives an
Event at Market Hall.
Last night the ST. Vincent de Paul
soclety, of the Cathedral parish, gave
an entertainment at Market hall FOR the
benefit of the poor. The overture was
given by the Layman Mandolin and
Harp orchestra. Miss Bissonette and
Messrs. Heating and Geiian appeared
in trio, and George DanZ in violin
solo. A selection by the male quartet,e
-Messrs. Heating. Stark, Morrow and
Gelan-was we'll received. Miss Emily
Franklin appeared in solo Messrs.
Heating and Gehan III Duet. Good
Might" Quartelte, in which Miss
Franklin, Miss Smith and Messrs.
Heating and Gehan took part, COM
pletei the musical portion of the pro-
gramme. Hon. William Louis Kelly
delivered the address of the evening.
The attendance was far below what
so worthy an object deserved. Every
parish has its conference of the ST. Vim
cent de Paul society. 1t is noble
charity. The movement originated in
France nearly 200 years ago. and has
branches in every country where the
Roman Catholic church is established.
The society in st. Paul dates back TO
Bishop CIeighton's time. nearly forty
years ago. The branch in the cathedral
parish meets every Sunday, and re-
ceives reports from its visiting commit.
tee, when reports all deserving cases of
charity within Its jurisdiction. Food,
clothing. fuel, supplies and medical at
tendance are furnished. This branch
averages to assist about twenty families
through the winter months. and an ay.
erage of ten through the simmer.

MUST WE Or saoULD WE?

The representatives of the business
men of several cities met in Mime
apolis the other evening and had BAN
quet, after which was discussed the
question of encouraging home trade,
The Tribune makes this meeting the
subject of homily, and especially
dwellS upon the fact that large mum.
Der of the DauqueterS were Democrats,
and expresses wonder that any BUSH
ness man can be found in politics with
party that favors breaking down the
protective barriers which tend to keep
out foreign lmpOrtationS and preserve
our home market for home manufaet-
urerS"
The wonder Of the Tribune is due to
Its Inability to comprehend the Demo-
cratic idea of the purposes of govern
ment. Its idea is that whatever it or a
majority thinksiS beneficial tor the COM
munlty. the entire power of the COM
munity. operating through law, should
oblige all to do. Every one will ad-
NIT that it is better for all in any com.
nifty to have made in that community
the things they need. or to buy them
there ii made elsewhere. The pater-
nalists represented by the Tribune argue
if this is good and beneficial 10 the com
munity, then all in the community
should be obliged to do it.
The indivdualist represented by the
Democrat saws: Il agree with YOU that
it would be better to buy these things
here. but there is something higher than
that at stake. and that is the liberty
Of the Individual. If he has one right
that is more sacred to him than another.
it is the right to buy with what be has
earned or produced what he will and
where he will. When you deprive him
of that, you to that extent enslaye
him." The difference between the Two
schools of thought is simply the use of
the two words should and must. In this
particular case the Democrat would saw
you should buy at Iune;' the paler-
nalist" would say you must buy at
home" This is the fundamental diff
ference between Democracy and Re.
publicahism and all the other forms Of
paternalisnl.

place. The chance traveller looking for
all opening has found one. or is gone.
Life has settled down to the complex
ion of the older communities. Men
here are no longer Pennsylvanians or
Nirginians, but citizens of st. Paul. A
society has been formed with con-
ventionai barriers, at which the new
conner has to present his credentials be

way to il compact union OF well known
names and accurately MEASURED per-
sons. The men aud women who will

VIII have the same ideas and talk the
same language. The marks of the
frontier town and the boom city have
been wiped out. This is now land of
steady habits instead of gambling, of

STILL NO CREMATORY.
CONTRACT SUBMITTED FOR A
DIXON PLANT,
But the Committee COuIdn't
Agree. Some Wanting to See
Other Plants.

After an executive session OF three
quarters OF an hour yesterday after
noon, the joint garbage committee adj
Journed without taking any action
whatever. except to agree to meet again
at y. m. Wednesday. The matter be-
fore the committee was the proposed
plans and specifications for crematoiy,
specifying its nature and location and
theterms and conditions to govern the
letting OF the contract. This document
was prepared by City Attorney Cham
berlain and Chairman johnson at the
request of the committee, 1t being
thought at the time that the committee
was satisfied with Dixon crema-
tory. The document was duly pre-
pared and submitted to the
committee yesterday. 1t called for the
erection of Dixon cFemat0ry. specified
That 1t be located on tina west leyee,
somewhere between Annapolis and
Queen streets, and imposed practically
the same conditions upon the contractor
as the former specifications. 1t was to
be tested for fifteen days free of cost 10

contract was TO 20 into effect, with the
understanding that the city could void
il at any time the crenlatory became a
nuisance TO either nose or eye, etc, etc.
The Committee Could Not Agree
yesterday, though no particular fault
was found with the proposed plans aud
specifications. Assemblymen johnson
and Robb ami Aid. Milham favored
their adoption, and the issuance of
all advertisement comprising them,
while Assemblynan Reardon and
Aldermen Murphy and Wolf
wanted to postpone the matter. as they
seem to think that other crematories
should be given show. This was the
condition of things when the committee
adjourned. MIR. johnson is disposed to
resign from the committee, and doubt
less will if some action is not taken
soon. 1t is charged that those members
OF the committee VINO wish to postpone
action are in faver OF allowing the
garbage to be gathered and disposed of
under the preSeDt system, as the coun-
Gil recently voted to extend tine present
contract until further action" Man.
ming and Preston are doing the work.
Fine members OF the committee charged
with this motive for wishing to defer
action deny it emphatically, and de-
clare that all they CT sire is 10 secure the
best possible cremat0ry for the city. aud
that they are not satisfied vet that tie
Dixon crenatOry would be the most
suitable for st. Paul.

"a SPECIMEN KHFORMER."

1t has always and everywhere been a
characteristic Of Republtcanism that its
representatives claim a monopoly of
human virtue. There is no community,
perhaps, where this popularity of the
adherents of the party of great moral
ideas is more marked than in this; and
there is none where there is less to
maintain it.
The only county officer holding elect
i've Office under Republican auspices is
Charles E. Chapel. ChapePs record as
sheriff demonstrates his ability to work
the office for all there is in it. as it never
was worked before 1t does not verv
much matter whether a given service Is
rendered as the law insists it shall be
rendered, Or whether it is rendered as
MIR. Chapel thinks it ought to be rem
dered-as long as the law says there is
SO much Iii fees to be drawn from the
discharge of that duty, the amount is
sure to be drawn.
1t is this disposition which has enabled
MIR. Chapel to secure the services of
deputies who possess the marvellous
faculty Of being in two or three places
at one and the same time. and whose
ub;quity is source Of great profit, if
not TO the community they serve, at
least to him in whose pay they are
directly.
Let the character of MI. ChapePs
bits be considered, and the true test
will be made OF the nature of the claim
which he aud his party associates are
putting forward for the Offices to which
They aspire. Judged by this Standard
and it is perfectly reasonable -one-it
is easy to see the value OF the pro-
fessions of the local retormers. There
is not one candidate on their county
ticket who has any well-founded claim to
election And if Democrats were not
utterly lost to their party obligations
there would not exist a possibility of the
election of any of them.

the law says they are liable; but 1t does
not say to whom, nor bow the liability

will have to answer these questions.
and it will have to do so without any
help from the legislature. In other
words, the five men on the aupreme
bench will have to do both their
own and the legislatures work. They
will have to legslate. This Is bad
business, and yet it Is not their fault.
The real explanation of the much-de-
nounced judicial usurpati0n is the in
competency OF our legislatures. 1t can
only be- prevented by sending better
