HILL AND THE N. p.
Great Northern Magnate Insists
There is no Hitch.

NEW YORK, July Avail street
was greatly surprised at the statement
OF Mr.. Adams, of the Northern Pa
cific reorganizat ton committee, that
legal obstacles stood in the way of
carrying out the proposed guarantee
of principal and interest of Northern
Pacific bonds by the Great Northern
Railway company. 1t is stated on the
part of Mr.. Adams that President
James j. Hill said in London that
there would be no legal difficulties in
the way of the guarantee, which he was
the first himself to propose On finding
that there were obstacles, Mr. Adams
decided to announce the fact in order
that no one with inside information
could take advantage of the circum-
stances.
President Hill maintains that, his
assertion was correct and that the pro-
posed plan can be carried out without
infringing on the law of Minnesota.
He says he has no personal interest
to subserye, inasmuch as he holds no
Northern Pacific securities. He says
IT rest with the bondholders to say
what shall be done. He was assured
by persons representing large interests
in Germany and England that they
would support personally his plans
without reference to any other parties
who represents foreign bondhoIders. 1t
was only after receiving this assurance
that he consented to assist in reorgan-
izing the company.
This implies that Mr.. Hill has the
support of the Duetsche bank, which
Is so largely interested in Northern
Pacific securities. The bank and lead
ing English investors welcomed Mr..
Hills suggestion to take charge of the
Northern Pacific and run it harmon
iously and economically with the Great
Northern. In London, J. Pierpont Nor
gan agreed to act with Mr.. Hill and
all went well until the hitch arose.
Mr.. Morgan conferred with Mr.. Hill
yesterday and now says that he will
do all he can to help the plan along.
not deeTning it a failure by any means.
1t is supposed that MIR. Morgan is try
ing to sidetrack the Adams commit
tee in order that he may fully control
the reorganization, as has been init
mated hitherto. 1t is supposed that
Mr.. Hill will remain in the back ground
until the plan is accomplished, when
he will enter into full lcontrol of the
united systems.
In the Northern Pacific offices bust
ness proceeds Serenely. 1t is deemed
likely that there will be much trouble
in reconciling conflicting interests. Mr.
Morgan will have to explain his plan
clearly to secure unanimous supsrTt

AN APOLOGY DUE.

The Pioneer Press of Wednesday
stated editorialIy that sit looks very
much as though Prof. Mark Harring-
ton, chief of the weather bureau, is
martyr in the cause of civil service
reform" Speaking of-his dismissal,
it adds sententiousIy, king Spells
is a hydra-headed monster who is
hard to scotch and much harder to
kill" The Pioneer Press news col
umnS of Thursday morning, speak
ing of Prof. Moore, who is to sue
ceed Prof. Harrington, say: 1.-The
appointment will be strictly in the
line of civil service, as Prof Moore
has been a lifelong employee in the
service. He is a Republican. He
is regarded here as one of the most
Gals point to the record he has al
ready made as proof of his qualifi-
cation for the new duties" We do
not suppose that the Pioneer Press
deliberately set out to misstate facts.
1t simply heard that Prof. Harring-
ton was to be removed, and con-
cluded that this would be a good
chance to score a point against Sec
rotary Morton, because he is a Dem
ocrat. But this is something a little
worse than unfairness; and its pun
ishment in Standardization is just.
If it were true that the change
was in the interest of the spoilsmen,
then it would follow necessarily that
the spoilsmongers We're of the Re-
publican variety; since the new chief
belongs to that party. 1t happens,
however, that Notwithstanding this
drawback, Prof. Moore has passed
the highest examination for the SER
vice, and that Secretary Morton Sc
lected him on his record, stepping
over party lines to do so. To accuse
a public official of catering to the
spoils element when he makes an ap-
pointment from the opposite politi-
cal party, because civil service rules
demand it, goes even beyond the or
binary Republican method of treat
ing public questions. Mr.. Morton is
making a good deal of record these
days, and is amply able to take care
Of himself Not for his sake but
for it's own, and to show that this
hasty and unjust criticism was gross
carelessness rather than Intentional
injustice, it would seem that the
Pioneer Press owes him a humble
apology and handsome tribute.

Large crowds of people lined the road
from Hyde park corner TO the maya

The turnout, however, was not a very
creditable display. 1t included about
a dozen buggies and phaetons, and a
lew carts, making a total of twenty
vehicles. Flags were flying through
out the day over the United States
embassy and consulate, as well as over
number of places OF business Dur
ing the afternoon many visiting Amer

received by their hostess, in the alb

he appeals to our sympathy in behalf
moneyed classes in England are TAX
ing alarm" We do not believe that
there was ever so perfect case of
arguing on both sides of the same
question, not only in the same ar
ticle, but in the same paragraph
and the same sentence.
1t is probably a waste of effort to
appeal to reason with persons who
can soberly go through these men
tai contortions. They must have
ceased some time before to consult
intelligence, and content themselves
simply with stating the conclusion
which they wish to reach, and then
bending the facts in any way neces-
sary in order to fit them to it. The
point which this article makes, that
interest rates have fallen and are
still declining, proves conclusively
that money, for whose use alone in
ltl SSl 10 pau, ID ptCOilililS lSldllNCly
more plentiful than it was before.
Its reference to life insurance at all
shows incredible stolidity, since the
millions of policy holders through
out the country would be among the
greatest sufferers by any debase-
ment of the currency. But its ap-
peal TO the toilers to save corpora
lions from the misfortune of a de-
Ginning interest rate; its plea that
you can raise interest rates by MAX
ing money more plentiful and there
fore less difficult to get; and it's
plant that millionaires will soon be
unable to live on their investments,
without going to work for them
selves, if we do not have free coin
age, are among the most extraor-
binary and amusing exhibitions of
amiable and irresponsible idiocy
that we have ever known in connec-
ton With any form of financial dis
cussion.

Not Hungry for Money.

Boston Herald.
Mr.. Depew, who was anything but
an admirer of the present president of
the United States, made the statement
some years ago that when the local at
!, torney of the Central railroad died
at Buffalo, the place was offered to
Mr.. Cleveland. He was then little
known outside of Erie county, but
members of his own profession recog-
nized In him a man of unusual capacity
and force of character. The business
|, in which he was a partner yielded him
fair income, which would have been
doubled had he accepted the place ten,
dered him by the Vanderbilts. He
!, promptly declined it, however, on the
ground that as his income was more
than sufficient for his wants he had no
use for more. This is hardly the type
of man who would be capable, as Mr..
ingalls, insinuates, of building up lone
of the largest private fortunes in the
country" by methods which will not

SIOUX CITY, To-. July 4.-The In
dian teachers in session in this city
at the annual institute of their or
ganization in this district are consid-
erably exercised over the question of
dancing in the Indian schools. The
question came up in the course of the
session today and instantly led to a
heated argument. Some of the schools
now give instruction in dancing, on
the ground that it improves the pupil s
manners. A large majority of teach
ers today expressed the opinion that
it breeds undue familiarity between the
boys and girls, and committee was
finally appointed to draft resolutions
against the plan for presentation to the
department at Washington.

A NEGLECTED REMEDY.

The other day jury in an iItpor-
tant civil case failed to decide the
issues of fact submitted to it because
one juror refused to yield his judg-
ment to that of the other eleven. 1t
is seven years now since number of
aggravating failures of juries to
agree had provoked public discus
sion that eliminated in the sub
| mission to the people of an amend
ment to the constitution providing
that, after six hours of indeteTminate
consideration, five-sixths of the jury
might find and return a legal verdict
in civil cases. The amendment was
not mandatory, but permitted the
legislature to so provide. This was
adopted by popular vote at the cleo
ton in November, $780,
Since then, three successive legis-
latures have met and adjourned
without making the provision need
ed to incorporate this sensible re-
form in our laws. In one of them.
we believe, a measure was intro
duced but was killed in the Judiciary
committee, owing to the opposition
of lawyers. Since then nothing has
been done, and the amendment
sleeps in the constitution, and dis
agreeing juries still impede the ad-
ministration of justice Time has
been found to attack and defend the
interests Of the makers of baking
powders, and of patent medicines.
and the sports of our hunters and
fishers have been carefully and
painstakingly attended to. The ten
der youth has been shielded from the
injurious cigarette-in all cases
where he does not want it-and the
Russian thistle is dignified with a
commission and plump appropri-
alton; but in any case, however i'm
portant, one obstinate or one cor
rupted juror can render ineffective
the work of days and of weeks in a
civil cause. Meantime, and running
along with this absurdity, a major
lty of a court of last resort decide in
criminal and civil cases alike; and
the other day five justices, with four
dissenting, held void an act of con-
gress involving millions of dollars of
revenue to needy treasury.
CALIFORNIA; legislatures may be no
better or worse than our own; but
when the people fixed in the organic
law a provision that in civil cases
three-fourths of the jury might rem
der valid verdict, the legislature of
that state promptly exercised the
power given it and made the neces-
sary enabling law. For years the
law has been in force land no one, not
even the mossiest-backed lawyer in
the state, would go back to the alb
surd plan of unanimity. In one
case, sample of many, where suit
was brought to recover 100000 dam
ages, and twenty-one days were con-
sumed in the trial, the verdict was
that of three-fourths of the Jury.
The testimony of the judges is that
it is an immense saving of time and
expense, and that it secures justice
far better than the old method. So
beneficial is it that every session of
the legislature sees bills introduced
extending it to minor criminal cases.
Nothing but the conservatism of
men, which fears to put a foot in
advance until absurdly sure of safe
footing, prevents it. We hope that
the next session of our legislature
may take from clamorous private in
tereStS enough time to render oper-
ative the amendment of 1890.
