and baskets or has in tow several small
children, each of whom seems possessed to
start off in a different direction at the
very moment when she has hailed the car
and all the passengers are waiting for her
to get aboard.
Somehow it doesn't seem to occur to the
man in the end seat that he could vastly
simplify matters by moving up place or
two and letting that poor, tired, harrassed
woman get in without adding to her bur-
dens in climbing past him with all her bun
dies or her children. By no means.
CALL HER A BOTHER.
What does occur to him, though, is that
the woman is to be mathematical for both
ering other people with the results of her
shopping expedition, or in the case of the
children, that any one with SO many small
children TO look after, should stay at home
and not afflict the public with those same
childreD's vagaries and tantrums.
Why in the name of that all is wonderful,
does a man consider that he has n time-de-
flying cinch on a corner seat in car? Watch
him w hen it comes to the case of his hailing
a car in which all of the end seats are
taken. VIII he get in and take his seat

will eventually, but not before he tries the
efficacy of a very moldy dodge that almost
invariably works.
This is to stand on the platform ledge at
the end seat required and first look inquir-
ingiy, then fiercely, straight ut the woman
who happens to be seated in the end seat.
If she is steeled TO such proceeding, and can
manage to give back the stare OF continue
to gaze placidly< into space, she has won
the day, and the man will then move back
and climb over the passengers in the next
seat wherever he can get in.
This little wordless battle is conducted
and the after results of chagrin charged
up in the mutual consciousness of both the
man and woman by means of that mysteri-
GUS psychic affinity of thought by which
the woman is conscious of the mans
unspoken command to her to move aud
give up that corner seat, and in she mans
mind by the knowledge that the woman
not only knows his silent command in
the matter, but knows that she knows

SAYS DULUTH WILL SECEDE.

Because the state senate refused to
grant an appropriation of $4,000 to
start work upon the new normal
school located there, Senator Spencer;
of Duluth, made the threat that the
northern portion of the state would
secede if it was not given different
treatment. Before entering very
heavily upon the business of seces-
sion, the senator would do well to get
hold of history of the United
States and read up on little episode
which happened down in South Caro-
lima in 1861. The outcome of that
little event would be of peculiar in
terest to him before entering upon
the details of secession movement
The taxpayers of the state will en-
dOrSe the action of the senate in this
respect. The bill for the location of
a school at Duluth ought never to
have been passed, but so long as the
mistake has been made, the best thing
to do is to let it lapse into innocuous
desuetude. The wisest thing to do is
to strengthen the present normal
schools and the high schools of the
state, rather than to increase the
number.

HOW THE DEMOCRATIC TARIFF
WORKS.

| Democratic tariff reform is curious
thing. 1t is wonderfully and bung-
lingly framed. In fact it was framed
ostensibly to provide the government
with adequate revenue and to increase
American trade abroad, says the New
York Morning Advertiser but has ut
terly failed to accomplish either of
these objects. With the peryersity of
the contrary animal which is popu-
larly believed to typify the Democ-
racy, the present tariff operates almost
directly opposite to the intentions of
| it's bungling and laundering authors.
In only one respect apparently has it
| fulfilled their expectations. 1t has
| increased dutiable imports.
The Advertiser then makes COM
parison of exports and imports for the
seven months ending with March 81,
with those of the corresponding period
the year previous, and says this COM
parison shows that under the German
Wilson act total imports have in
creased $50, 1913, 1874, exports have fallen
off $52,616, O43, dutiable imports have
increased S67, 500, 204, and free imports
| have diminished S7,060,3 $50. These
figures will be particularly interesting
to American farmers who complain
that they cannot find market for
their products and to American wage
earnerS who can find no market for
their labor The tremendous increase
in imports in the last seven months
represents so much employment, so
much food, fuel and clothing snatched
from American citizens and handed
over to the toilers of Great Britain
and other European countries, and so
much less American demand for
agricultural products. The enormous
decrease in exports continues the Ad-
Uertiser, means that in addition to the
domestic demand for American pro-
ducts being cut down, the foreign de-
mand has been curtailed, a double
blow to American producers. These
statistics may not be cheerful and en-
PERTAINING reading for the American
people, but they are at least in
structive. While the new tariff is
emptying the pockets of American
breadwinners it is also depicting the
federal treasury. Last winter Secre-
tary Carlisle said the deficit at the
close of the current fiscal year would
not exceed s2O,OOO,OOO, but up to April
18th the expenditures were $40, 100000
greater than the receipts. The pros
pect of this deficit shrinking any be-
fore July 1st is not very bright.

THE LEGISLATURE
Senators Engage in a War of
Words Over the Pine
Land Bills.
NO DECISION WAS REACHED.
Miller Express Bill Passes the
House After a Bitter
Contest.

ST. PAUL, April 1S.-The senate ex-
tended it's work until near midnight
Wednesday, the pine land bills taking
up two long sittings. The debate on
this matter was one Of the most acri-
monious of the session and at times was
spiced with sharp words. The lines
were drawn between the measure
favored by the state auditor and the
one that had the Endorsement of the
pine land committee. The Staples bill
has the right of way, but it has not
quire several more hours to finish con-
sideration of the measure. A number
of amendments have already been
made, and the house will get one more
chance at the matter A mo ton to in
definitely postpone the Staples bill was
lost by tie vote.
An Office Abolished.
Bills abolishing the office of abstract
clerk of Ramsey county and making
the Office of coroner a fee Office were
passed under suspension of the rules.
III. f. 731 was recommend to pass, as
amended by the committee on mines
and mining. The bill relates to inspec-
ton of mines and the appointment of a
mine inspector by the governor. The
bill was then referred to the finance
committee.
The committee on printing reported
in favor Of amending S. f. 1873, bill
defining what shall constitute news
Naper for the publication of legal no.
Gices. The amendment was adopted.
Disagreed With the Committee.
The senate's forenoon session was de-
voted almost exclusively to receiving
and discussing reports Of committees.
S. F. SCI caused no end Of trouble. 1t
is Senator Sheehan's bill authorizing
cities to contract with private compa-
MES for water and gas supplies. Tues
day evening the judiciary committee
struck out the gas clause, which is OBJ
jectionable to the companies, and ev-
erythiug went smoothly until the re-
port lot into the senate. Then the
senators sat down ON the committee
hard, and the report is now on the
table, while the bill is ON the calendar.
The finance committee reported favor
ably on .. f. AL, the bill appropriating
$l4, 900 for the erection of a building
for the inebriate department of the
Rochester insane asylum.

Why not be well?
Women and men all over the coun-

months are now taking Paine's celery

order it, or because they have learned
from other equally trustworthy
sources it's unfailing power of building

PASSED THE EXPRESS BILL.
EIiller's Measure Goes Through With a
Good Majority.

EIiner's Measure Goes Through With a
Good Majority.
In many respects the bitterest, and
from one point of view the best, fight
made in the house during the present
session was that over the Miller express
bill when it came up on a special order,
and while there were IS votes for the
passage of the bill, as disclosed by the
roll CALL there were but 81, or less
than enough to pass the bill, until Rep
resentative jacobson had exhausted
every resource at his command to get
the members into line for the measure.
The niger in the woodpile was in the
shape of unanimous report of a house
committee, unanimously adopted by the
house itself, declaring that most
thorough and searching investigation
of the rates showed the present rates tc
be equitable and just.
Other Business Transacted.
After the special order had been dis.
posed of the house took up the calendar
and passed Mr. Soule's bill for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to carry out the
provisions of the Schurmeier prison
labor bill; also Mr.. Warmers bill tc
abolish the board of public works of St
Paul.
The bill to restore the fee for the en-
rollment OF bills to 10 and IL cents pei
folio was recommended to pass, and q
redhot fight ensued over S. f. 558, tc
transfer $3.50, 600 from the general rev
enue fund to the road and bridge fund
1t was finally recommended to pass.
The surprise of the day was the pas
sage of a bill, under suspension of the
rules, abolishing the state geological
survey and also the office of state
geologist.
Killed Many Bills.
During the morning the house dl
rected it's efforts towards general orders
a tendency to kill certain measures be-
ing noticeable. Out Of Is bills on 6
part of general orders but 8 could Sc
cure the necessary recommendation te
pass. Bills considered on general or

IT is said that if Senator Miller's
express bill, which has passed both
houses Of the legislature, becomes a
law, as it undoubtedly will, it will be
sharply contested in the courts
There is nothing surprising in this.
All corporations hate to give up and
come under the regulations of the
law, especially when the law is de-
signed for the benefit of the mass of
the people. In this respect there
seems to be good deal of human
nature in the makeup of corpora
tion. The ground on which they will
object is that they are private corpo-
rations, and as such are not subject to
regulative legislation, as are rail
roads. If this argument holds good,
and is confirmed by the courts, then
there would be but very few corpora
tions but what could do as they
pleased and snap their fingers in the
face of the public. 1t is hard to see
wherein corporations doing business
of the character of the express COM
panieS are not in the nature of semi
public affairs. They are primarily the
creatures of legislation, and ought to
be subject to it's regulation. Senator
Miller has made good fight in behalf
of the people, and he is entitled to
great credit for the passage of the
bill. His work has been in the inter
est of the people, in an effort to get
justice for all.

Rank AS One of the Best.

Martin County Sentinel:
The Minnesota legislature will ad-
journ sine die next Tuesday. While
1T has not been a perfect law-making
body, it has made but few errors and
has passed many good measures. 1t
manifested more of spirit of reform
and economy than any of it's predeces-
sors for a number of years. The legis-
lature of 1895 will rank in history as
one of the best law-making bodies

ii. c. GerIach's Plans for the St.
James Court House Accepted.

James Court house ACCepteu.
Friday.evening the county commits
sioners of Watonwan county, at st.
James, reached an agreement on plans
for the new court house, and chose
those submitted by HI. G. Gerlach, of
this city. Mr.. Gerlach has been at
St. James since Monday. Nineteen
architects submitted plans and were
present, and the most of them sub
mitted more than one plan. Archi-
tects Thayer and Pass stood high in
the contest.
The county voted 100000 bonds for
the court house, and Mr.. Gerlach's
plans call for a building to cost that
much, outside of the heating plant.
1t is probable that the commissioners
may vote to have somewhat more
expensive building erected than was
be handsome one, of brick and stone,
with a tower at one corner. Mr.. Ger
ZACH will undoubtedly be the superin-
tendent of construction.
Architects from ST. Paul. Mime
apolis, Omaha, Burlington, Winona,
Peoria, Ill, and Austin, Mimi, com
peted, and it is matter to be proud
of that Mankato has architects who
with the best of them, and finally ex-
celled all competition. There is
is nothing the matter with Mankato
architects.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
what Coffee Will Ito.

A Nebraska woman had a case OF
delirium tremens from the abuse of
coffee. For many years she has been
addicted to the use of very strong cof-
fee in excessive quantities, frequently
taking as many as q dozen cups at a
meal. Her nervous system has suf-
fered seriously as result, and on
several occasions she has attempted
to break off the habit, but without
success. A few days ago she resolved
to make last desperate effort. and
for time managed to get along with
out touching the seductive beverage.
At the end of the second day, however,
her nerves were in a state OF almost
complete collapse and few hours later
an attack of what closely resembled
delirium tremens set in. The physi-
clan called was at first deceived by
the symptoms, but when the nature
of the case was explained to him he
said the disease was undoubtedly
caused by the sudden breaking off Of
the habit.
