think 1t was right to tax the general
public in order to teach a boy how to
make jug or construct a model of
steam engine. This department cost
over $4,000 year for salaries alone,
the cost averaging $3.50 per scholar per
year.
, Then Mr.. McCardy explained to the
committee that the high rate of tax
alton was not due to an expensive
management of the city government,
high salaries, etc. 1t was due to the
fact that during the past three years
hau been paid off, This debt was
caused by the prior extravaganza of
certain rs departments, notably the
school department, which, during the
four years next preceding the last
three years, incurred debt of $6OO,OOO.
=, Regarding the equalization of valu-
atoms of property Mr.. McCardy said
that the street railway company paid
taxes in st. Paul on an assessed valu-
alton of $3.50, 900, whereas according to
the reports of the Financial Chronicle
Of New York, the assets, including the
franchise and right of way, are valued
at $9,5O0,0OO. In Glasgow and Toronto,
the street railways are operated by
those cities at a profit. Mr.. McCardy
though that the Twin City Rapid Tran
sit company was not paying a sufficient
tax.
AT this point, the committee adjourn

The action of the treasury de-
charges upon gold forwarded to it
in exchange for legal tenders or 9TH

been made shows a real public spirit
on the part of many bankers and
citizens. They are willing to come to
the relief of the treasury, and COM

CALLED BY DEATH,
EUGENE l.. LARPENTEUR PASSES
AWAY EARLY THIS MORN
ING.
HE WAS AN EARLY SETTLER.
HIS FIRST YEARS IN MINNESOTA
SPENT ON A ROSE TOWN
SHIP FARM.
An Active Life of n Good Citizen-
Prominent in Several SOcie-
ties

Eugene L. Larpenteur died short
ly after l o'clock this morning at
his residence, 81 West Exchange
street, at the age of ffty-five years.
e. L. Larpenteur was the son of
E. N. Larpenteur, and was born in
Baltimore in October, 1910, in the
same house where five other chill
dren first saw light. He came to st.
Paul with his father in 1S49, and
worked on the latters farm in Rose
township for fourteen years. In 1866
he removed to this city, and became
connected with the music house of
Zenzius & Hencke. Afterwards for
a time he was engaged at the opera
house, and devoted several years to
collecting rents for houses and other
bills. He opened a large and fash
ionable millinery and dressmaking
establishment on upper Third street,
and entered into co-partnership with
John B. Dow for the manufacture
of clothing, employing large num-
Der of girls and women.
Maj. 7. NJ. Newson, in his pen pic
lures of st. Paul, has this to say
of E. l.. Larpenteur: When an in
FAINT sixteen months old young Lar
penteur was as sound and as active
as any child ever born, but all of a
sudden he lost the use of his limbs
and from that time forward to the
present his spine has been affected.
OF course physicians were employed
to aid the little fellow in his aff1ic-
ton, but their efforts were unavaiI-
ing.
''The child soon came to view the
doctors as sacred beings and hence
forth began to initiate them, mixing
medicines, looking at the tongue,
feeling the pulse and talking learn
edly of the symptoms of patients. He
ground up cream candy, put it in
cream papers and doled it out to the
sick as powders. His success in
this line gained for him diploma
from his friends, and he was dubbed
thereafter Doc and has ever since
borne the title
Although an invalid, Mr.. Larpen-
teur was one of the most active and
indefatigable workers in the city,
and accomplished in the way of busi-
ness a good deal more than many an
able-bodied man. He was a man of
excellent judgment. cool and collect
ed, careful, honest and sympathetic,
and independent, especially in re-
ligious matters, conceding to others
what he himself claimed the right to
have-to think as he pleased. Many
an act of kindness was performed by
Mr.. Larpenteur known only to him
self and the object of his kindness.
Mr.. Larpenteur was one of the
best-known old settlers in the city.
He was a member of the Junior Pio-
neers and of the a. @. u. w. He was
esteemed as a man and a citizen.

to be dealt with later 1t is an alb
surdity for a few descendants of
the aborigines to hold in fee great
geographical division Of the coun-
try, to be occupied by other people
only upon sufferance, and by pay
ing tribute. There should be no
exercise of force or injustice, but
such acts should be passed apply
ing to the tribes of Indian ter
ritory as would limit their holdings
to their actual needs; and, after CIV
ing them proper compensation, turn
the remainder over to the settler.
The status of the Indian territory
has long been recognized as one of
the most puzzling problems of our
laws and our politics. 1t is time that
congress took hold of the subject
with vigor and intelligence, and ex-
tended over that practically alien
jurisdiction In the center of this
country the full authority of the laws
and the political system of the Unit
ed States.

SENATOR HILLS VISIT.

Senator Hill is at disadvantage in
1t is impossible to dissociate the man,
the thinker and speaker, from the
adroit political leader who has played
so large part in the struggles of his
party in New York state. Whatever
might be his utterances on other SUBJ
jects, the audience lets them slip un-
needed by while it watches for the
escape of a hint or reflection upon
the absorbingly interesting political
questions of the day. Therefore Sen
ator Hill is apt to be underrated as a
public speaker, as he has sometimes
been overrated as a leader of men.
The impression which he has made
upon the thousands who have spoken
with and listened to him in the
Northwest is decidedly favorable.
The public events in which he has
as to call for unsparing judgments.
A man in the thick of them is the
idol of his friends and dependents,
and to the opposition he is the arch
enemy Of right and progress But
Senator Hill presents to the eye and
ear the semblance of a forceful man,
familiar with many things, alert in
all, and with capabilities far above
those of the mere everyday politi-
clan. The views which he expresses,
with single exception, are in line
with the sober and intelligent
thought of the day. His reverence
for the constitution and it's authors
is we'll founded. His conception of
the Monroe doctrine is both accurate
and adequate; and that is a rarity
in these days of loose thinking and
talking. While he does not define his
position absolutely on the financial
question, he is thoroughly sound in
his views of the vicious quality of our
paper money. The opinions which he
holds as to civil service reform,
though not expressed from the plat
form, are not concealed; and there
the student of history and of tenden-
cies will part company with him.
Altogether, he is no ordinary man
who has visited the people of the
Northwest and come in contact with
them personally and publicly. In
the United States senate he has sur
prised both friends and enemies by
his grasp and ability, and by. his ca
pacity to learn. He is less impress
i've as speaker and more attractive
as a man than the popular conception
of him heretofore has held. This is
man of native vigor and of latent
possibilities which those who do not
sympathize with him, whether within
his party or without, do not hesitate
to acknowledge. On the safe ground
of the subjects with which he dealt
while among us, he disarmed hostile
criticism and left many friends be-
hind him.

THE REPORT OF THE INTERIOR.

The vast amount of interests which
are grouped in that departmental
scrap-bag known as the interior de-
partment supply Secretary Smith
with abundant matter for his report.
We have seldom seen document
more fruitful Of suggestion. The
principal subject, perhaps, that of
some change in the condition of the
Indian territory, we have considered
in another place. AS to Indian citi-
zenship, Secretary Smith is unques-
tionably right when he says that no
Indian should become a citizen until
he is self-supporting, and that after
he becomes citizen, he should not be
recipient of gratuities from the
government. In our dealings with
the Indian, which have alternated be-
tween a system Of force and sys-
tenn of fraud, we have never met this
condition clearly and wisely. We
have expected him to jump from the
position of ward" fed by the pub
lie bounty and tutored to regard his
support as something that he had a
right to demand from the Great
Father at Washington, to that of the
landowner and householder and
voter, with scarcely any intermedi-
ate steps of preparation.
The allotment of land in severalty
to the Indians is unquestionably the
first step in the transition period.
But, as Secretary Smith remarks,
the Indian should be a landholder
long before he should be voter.
Most of those who receive allotments
are about as helpless when they get
them as the average unemployed city
workingman would be if he were put
in the middle of a ten-acre tract of
unbroken prairie and told to go to
work and make living off it. The
Indians is even worse case, be-
cause he has not the memory or ira
dition of land cultivation to help him.
For a time the Indians to whom lands
have been allotted require financial
support and instruction in the rudi-
ments of agriculture. While this is
going on, the government must sup
ply, the daily needs of it's pupils.
And at this time it is, of course, ap-
parent that the Indian should not be
a citizen and voter. The trouble
with our recent Indian policy, which
in general is proceeding now on cor
rect lines, is that it has not recog-
nized this intermediate stage or made
due preparation for it. The recon-
mendations made by Secretary Smith
on this subject are sensible and help
full. G

If, instead ofssending gold to the
treasury in exchange for notes at
the, governments cost, the holders
of gold could send 1t there as the
purchase price of low-rate inter-
est-bearing bond, and if the treas
ury could then use the gold to re-
tire and take the place of the ma
stion's paper promises to pay, 1t
would be a real-g The response
of the country in such case would
be instantaneous and astonishing.
Our people would place at the dis
position of the treasury many times
the amount of gold that it needs, and
our currency system might be made
impregnable to attack. The treas
ury could keep the gold If it want
ed; for, the paper by which gold can
now be drawn out having been can

making further draft upon it. On
the other hand, the need of re-
serve would disappear, and it would
matter nothing to the treasury in
what form of money it's assets ex-
listed.
1t would be a real resumption of
specie payments such as has not
taken place since the war. This can
not be done without authority from
congress. The general tendency Of
the Republican party to make a
stand against sound finance leaves
little hope that such a measure can
be passed this winter. Until 1t does,
we can never have complete conf
dence in financial circles, or a thor
ough restoration of business pros
perity. The placing of gold in the
treasury, whether by bond sales or
by Individual contributions or by
any other method, to be pulled out
again as fast as greenbacks can be
presented for redemption, may serve
us for few weeks as an expedient
to keep the gold reserve above the
danger point. It is palliative, but
not remedy.

edness is always the.most embarrass-
ing. A wise policy would remove 1t"
In 1868 he urged the issue of $500, ,00O,-
900 bonds to take up, the six per
cents land the non-interest bearing
debt"
Boutwell,, in 72, tentatively recon-.
mended retirement as the only eff
fectual way to increase the value of
the notes; and, in '7S, Richardson re-
minded congress of the act of the
Forty-first congress "pledging the
making of provision for the ear.
Iest possible redemption. of the
notes in gold coin." It was
not until 1874, when Bristow was
secretary, that the prevalence and
spread of greenbackism maos
the question an acute one, and he
recommended that congress provide
and fix.an early day after which the
notes should cease to be legal ten
der" He also urged congressrto pro-
vide for the immediate conversion of
legal tenders into low rate bonds, re-
peating his advice in his report of
1875. Lot NJ. Morrill,, of Maine, sue
ceeded Bristow, and urged congress
to return to the constitutional
standard of value" saying that the
evil of contraction would be an evil
incident to vicious system not to be
cured by its continuance. "Restor-
alton of the constitutional standard
of values by resumption, and the eX-
tinction of irredeemable notes cur
rent as money are alike of ma
tional obligation and public neces-
sity." Continuing his argument for
the retirement, Morrill, said: They are
a constituent element in our currency
today only because fanciful
and speculative theorists have pro-
posed their permanent Incorporation
into the hard money of the constitu-
ton and the hard-money traditions
of our people"
John Sherman succeeded Morrill,.
Just before, in the senate, discussing
the resumption bill, he had said: Il
might show you that at every step
of the war the notes were regarded
as a temporary loan, in the nature of
a forced loan, to be redeemed
soon after the war was over" His
reports show how he bent to the
greenback craze instead of braving
it, although, in II and again in '79, he
recommends the funding of the notes
in excess of the limit of S300,000,OOO
imposed by the resumption act. In
the former report he recommends
that a reduction be made by author
izing the coinage of silver dollars to
be exchanged for notes on demand of
the holder, such notes to be retired
and Cancelled" Since the acts Of rs,
stopping the retirement of the notes
and directing their reissue, and the
Allison silver purchase measure, no
Republican secretaries of the treas
ury have advocated the salutary pol
icy of McCulloch, Bristow and Nor
rill. They have been content to
drift.
