AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT.
The Right to Annu1 Corporation
Franchises.

To the Editor:
1 find in the platform of the Peoples
party of this state the following plank.
1 think it is leaky:
(e) We demand the government owner
ship and operation of railroads, telegraphs
and telephones.
I would add to this plank the following
as explanatory and extending it:
ARTICLE -
Whenever the congress, state or munich
pality shall create a corporation under
general law or by charter invested with
special privileges and immunities of pub
lie and business character, the govern
mental department under which it is ere
ated shall possess the right to annul the
same and to recover to the use of the
| people of the particular jurisdiction, the
powers and franchises granted, and this
| right shall apply to all such corporations
heretofore created; provided, that in all
such cases of annulment of such privi-
legeS the particular governmental depart
ment shall be required to pay to the re-
spective corporations the cash value of
visible property attached to and used with
such franchises The taking of property
as here provided shall be deemed one pro-
cess of law within the meaning of Articles
V. and XIV. amendments to the consti-
sutton.
Ihat the congress shall provide by law
for the enforcement of this article by ap-
propriate legislation. and shall possess the
power to prescribe the mode and manner
of compensation to corporations in all
cases arising hereunder.
With this amendment to the plank in
question the party places itself squarely
on a contest with corporate power. The
original plank as given above only aims
at government control so far as the ma
ton is affected-whle our party contem-
plates state and municipal ownership as
well. No man, Democrat or Republican,
a candidate for seat in the national
legislature would dare commit himself
against the proposed amendment.
1 estimate that the multiplied corpora
tions would spend $500, 900 900 in fighting this
| amendment at Washington and in it's or
| deal among three-fourths of our state leg
| islatures If defeated finally, mo worth
| the day.! The corporations would recoup
their expenses and get them back in three
years by increased rates.
1t will be observed that the respective
governmental jurisdictions are simply en-
powered to move in the matter of owner
ship-it is left optional with them to take
and pay or not In the scheme proposed
all water will be wrung out of the con-
Germs. A flood will be the outcome which
will necessitate another Ark Truly,
VIM. WEIGH

invaluable and keep recommending it to all

doing. Keep up the good work. 1t is the
everlasting keeping at it that brings sue

ST. Charles Times: The brilliant lgnatlus
Donnelly has resigned the position OF presi-
dent of the. State Alliance, and announces
that in the future he will attend to his lit
erary work and write for the Representa-

many good things, but he has often spoken
the truth too sharply for his own good He
has many good qualities, and will continue
to be admired by large number of people.

cannot but believe that the people Of the
state will. in the near future, acknowledge
the beneficient results of the power Of Mr.
Donnelly exercised in the past to prevent
wrongful legislation and call for an active
and potent administration wherein his rem
edies will be administered as a radical cure
for the ills Of the state, and not used mere
" to prevent the further spread Of the
wages of corruption, as has been the case
In the past. So believing, it is hereby
Resolved, That we hereby express our
continued confidence, respect and esteem
for Mr.. Donnely and for the present result
of his career as a public servant, and re-
quest that they be continued, believing that
they will further rebound to the well-being
and prosperity of the entire people. Be it

Resolved, That a copy Of these resolutions
be transmitted to Mr.. Donnely.

DECIDES FOR WILLIS.
Attorney General Childs on the
Ramsey Judgeship.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 6.-Attorney-Gene
Childs in passing upon the question submit
ted to him by both Judges Willis and
Walsh, whether the formers tenure of office
would expire with the present year, says as
follows:
Il have delayed this reply until the pres
ent date as well to accommodate all sides
as to avail myself Of whatever considera-
ton might be urged. The facts briefly stat
ed material to the inquiry follows:
Hon. Orlando Simons was elected to the
ONCE OF district judge in the said district
for the term beginning January, 1889. and
terminating, under ordinary circumstances.
at the beginning of the official year COM
menclng, in January, 1895. vacancy oc-
Cured in the said office by reason of the
death OF Judge SimonS, which filled by
the appointment of Hon. w. d. Cornish.
who continued in office until the relinqush-
ment thereof to you in January 1893. The
terms of Hon. H. r. Brill and VIM. L. KEEL
ly will expire with the present year, and
accordingly nominations were made under
several political parties in the said district
prior to the late general election with a
view of the selection of their successors
in office. No nominations were made for
the election of your successor, it
generally conceded that you were entitled to
hold for the period of six years from the
date of your induction into office. No doubt
attends the election of Judges Brill and
Kelly, but it is contended by Mr.. Walsh
that inasmuch as he received the highest
number of votes excepting them he is
thereby elected as your successor, provided
of course you are entitled to hold under
your election in 1892 only for the remainder
Of the original term of Judge Simons, which
would have expired as already indicated
with the official year in January, 1885,
ALTHOUGH Mr.. Walsh has presented his
claim with great ability in the briefs
handed me by his counsel 1 una BILE to
subscribe to the conclusion he seems to
have reached, as / regard the question long
since settled by the case of Growell VS..
Lambert, Minnesota 267. Whether not
the decision in that case is sound and in
accord with the weight of authority in this
county, it is sufficient for my guidance in
determining the question submitted.
while the office there involved that
of the judge of probate / am unable to
discover any distinction in principle which
saves the office of district judge from the
force of that decision. 1t there held,
sta ting the proposition broadly. that a per-
of vacancy to fill Office falling within
| the contemplation of the constitution where
! in provision is made for the filling of such
stitutional original term and not merely
predecessor.
Furthermore, it is proper to stat. that
| this office as we'll as the bar generally
| esteems the question closed in this state
! by the case above cited. 1t is therefore
my opinion that you entitled to hold
your present office for the full term Of six
years from the date of your induction
therein.

The Sums Fire.

How was heat originally imparted to our great luminary? Was he "born in fire" and has he been in an active state of combustion since the day of his birth, or was he once Ia darksome body, fit ting hither and thither and yet going nowhere in particular?'
 If once mighty planet of somber hue, why is he now the torchlight as we'll as the heating apparatus of great system of worlds, and, being both, who is equal to the task of calculating even the cycle of time wherein the great change took place? It may have been that there were no worlds in what is now the solar sys. tenn prior to that time, or, if there were, probably only two.
 These two black giants of this dark, ened portion of the great universe may have collided and ooalesced into vast nebula, from whence the whole of our system has been evolved. If light and heat were thus mechanically produced and still retained to 8 certain degree in our sun, the largest fragment of the two colliding worlds, is it not altogether like. ly that the great solar fires will finally burn out and that as a result man and all living creatures will become extinct on all of the inhabited planets?-St. Louis Republic.

Whited Financial SenuIchers.

With some very few exceptions, which it were invidious to name, but which all in the railway world know as such ex- captions, the railway corporations of the United States literally live from hand to mouth and have no working or reserve capital whatever, although their business requires it more than any other. The railways are capitalized for much more than they are worth. Usually the bond ed indebtedness, car trust certificates, equipment and terminal securities, taken at par, represent value in excess of the cost of the road, and upon them fixed in- terest is compulsorily payable. Hence, whatever the road earns upon actual cost must, unless it exceed, say, 6 per cent, be paid out annually in the shape of interest alone.-Simon Sterne in Fo- rum

Deliverance came in the shape of bare-footed walters, who carried out the imprisoned guests on their backs. The loss to merchants and others by the water is put at $100, 900.

 Everything belonging to spring and summer must go. The new fall and winter stocks are beginning to arrive and must have possession of the cloak in a short while. To make this possible we have marked the prices low CT than such goods ever sold for before on the remaining stocks of ready-made suits, jackets, capes and waists.
 And then there is another consideration that is largely responsible for these ridicu- lously low prices. It has al- ways been our policy to start in fresh and new each season, with no last seasons stock to be handicapped with.
 That will be true with next summers season if low prices will close out this summers remaining stocks.
