JUDGE LONGS PENSION.

An Injunction Granted Him on a Mere
Technicslity.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Judge Cox OF
the district supreme court this morning
granted the injunction asked by Judge
Long of Michigan to restrain the COM
missioner OF pensions from reducing his
pension from $72 to $50 per month,
ss the commissioner announced he
would do.
While Judge Long is granted an in
junction. the opinion of Judge Cox on
the whole, appears adverse to him. The
Injunction granted ia given on technical
grounds, the Judge stating that he is OF
the opinion that the commissioner OF
pensions had not given the actual 80
days. notice of suspension or reduction
of pension, required by the act of De-
cember 81, 1893. One of the main ques-
tions at issue is the power of the COM
missioner of pensions to review and re-
wise the action and ruling OF his prede-
cessor. The decision is in favor OF Com
missioner Lochren, Judge Cox ruling
that Commissioner Lochren has this
power. Judge Long will appeal from
the decision.

The Pacific Coast steGmship Company
Refuses to Honor Them.
SAN Francisco. Feb. 28.-There was q
merry time at the dock today when the
steamer Santa Rosa sailed for southern
ports. The Pacific Coast Steamship
company issued new schedule of pas
eenger rates from all points on the coast
to San Francisco, giving the people 8
chance to visit the midwinter fair 81

greatly increased, but many pRssen-
gers sold their return tickets to
scalpers, who in turn sold them to
other people. The steamship company
discovered what was going on, and to-
day when the Santa Rosa sailed refused
to honor return tickets unless held by
the person to whom they were originally
issued. About 20 tickets we're taken up
in this manner, and the passengers who
had bought tickets from scalpers made
complaints long and loud. Similar
scenes were transacted when the Co.

lie REPRESENTATIVE prints else
where, from the st. Paul Call, a full
synopsis of the report of the commit
tee appointed by the last legislature
to investigate the alleged pine land
thefts in this state. This report
makes interesting reading. 1t fully
sustains all the allegations made by
the REPRESENTATIVE regarding the
matter in the last campaign. 1t dis
closes the fact that the pine lands of
the state have been Systematically
robbed for years. 1t shows that these
robberies amount to an immense sum.
The recommendations of the COM
mittee are wise, and, if adopted, no
doubt they will prevent such robberles
in the future.
The question is, what shall be done
with the thieves? There can be but one
answer. They should be made to re-
pay every dollar which they have
stolen, and they should be made to
serve terms in the pententiary. Moth
ing less then this will be justice.
The people of this state will wait
with interest to see what the authori-
ties are going to do in the matter.

ELASTIC CURRENCY.

The Minneapolis Journal of Wednes-
day last printed an extended interview
with Mr.. t. Il. Walker, one of the
most successful financiers in the
Northwest, on the currency question,
and strong Republican. Mr.. Walker
takes the broad ground that the issu-
ance of the currency of the country
should not be placed in the hands of
the bankers, but that it is a govern
ment function which should be exer-
cised. Mr.. Walker gives good reasons
for his views, but it is difficult to see
how they are going to prevail as long
as either one of the old parties is in
power. On this ques tion they are now
united. Both parties favor the retire
ment Of the greenbacks and the sub
stitution Of bank notes. This bids
fair to be the leading issue in the
coming campaign. The Peoples par
ty is the only political organization
which holds that the government
should issue the money and stand re-
sp0nsible therefore. Mr.. Walker
should join 1T.

KIND WORDS
For Mr.. Donnelly From a Political
Opponent.

The retirement of Ignatius Donnel-
ly from the field Of active politics has
caused many of our brethren to say
kind words of him. We plead guilty
to have spoken unkindly of the sage
on one or two occasions when perhaps
we had no real occasion to. We have
also at the same time been one of his
warmest admirers and have always
said that, out of politics, Donnelly
was our greatest man. In his legi-
innate field as orator, scholar sayant
and post prandiaE alker, he has never
had even rival in tile northwest. In
politics lie has always shown marked
effort to befriend the poor and down
trodden, but whether truly or not, it
has always appeard that his efforts in
that line were but steps for his own
political preferment: We are too
prone to judge people by unholy and
selfish motives and the people have
possibly erred here. One thing is Ger
tain, Donnelly out OF politics is a
great man and will be admired and
loved by those who could not agree
with him politically and we know that
as lie approaches tbc land of the set
ting sun, and disappears behind the
political hills, he takes with him only
the kindeSt wishesof all classes of peo-
ple.-St. Peter Herald!
