Fourth Glass Postmastere VIII Be On the
List Before Cleveland Retires.
WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-Both the
postoffice department and civil service
commission are taking interest in the
movement towards putting the fourth.
class postmasters under the protection
of the civil service laws. While moth
ing is likely to be done at present, it is
probable that before the end of this ad-
ministration the looked-for action will
be taken. There are over $4,000 fourth
class postoffices in the country and the
number is constantly increasing. OF
these some 10000 carry salaries of less
than $50 per annum, and at least half
are in places where there is such greater
difficulty in finding competent and re-
liable person who is willing to serve.
than in choosing between competitors.
1t is obvious that there can be no ques-
ton of examination and certification in
the usual civil service methods in there
offices

STATE UNIVERSITY.

The growth of our state university in
numbers and in the enlargement of it's
scope of work and field of instruction has,
within the last 10 years, been exceedingly
rapid and beyond expectation. There are
now enrolled and attending the university
in its various schools and departments an
aggregate of 1850 students. This rapid
and unusual growth and expansion has
of late caused the inevitable expenditures
to outrun the appropriations and in con-
sequence the university is at present ham,
pered with a small deficiency Inasmuch
as there are available funds in the treas
ury, l recommend that you make special
appropriation at an early day to meet this
deficiency.
The university is in urgent need of more
buildings A gymnasium and drill hall, a
mechanics art building, including room
for heat and lighting plant, laboratory
of hygiene, including department of
pharmacy, and suitable quarters for the
state board of health, an addition to the
dairy school and a dormitory and board
ing hall at the school of agriculture are all
urgently needed, and should be provided
for by suitable appropriations. The library
building will be completed during the
present year and will afford ample room
for study and research. But our supply of
books is very limited and large addition
to the library is urgently called for by the
students and teachers in all the depart
ments.
Our university has made Minnesota
known throughout the civilized world. 1t
deserves kind and liberal consideration at
your hands. You should deal with it in a
broad and liberal spirit. The people ex-

GUATEMALA DISPUTE.
A Mexican Senator Wants Nearly Half
Million Damares

A Mexican Senator Wants Nearly Half a
Million Damages.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 10.-A dispute
is OH over the Guatemala damage nego-
tiations now pending in this capital.
1t is over the DILL Of Miguel Terucco, a
Mexican senator, for $400, 900 damages
to his logging camp on the southern
frontier by invading Guatemalans.
Senior De Leon, the Guatemalan envoy,
holds that there are large discrepancies
in the Terucco claim. and that data
held by the Guatemalan government
will easily prove this. There promises
to be a preliminary hitch which will
take many months to settle, and will
necessitate an exhaustive review of the
various things which enter into the
question. Should this finally be set
tied it is evidently the policy of the
Guatemalan government to gain time
by raising multitudinous other ques-
tions to block the progress Of the case,
so that prospective settlement is long
way off.
Both sides evince stubborn DISPOSE
ton to carry their points. Senior De
Leon is constantly engaged in CORE
spondence with Senior Laza Arriga, the
Guatemalan representative at Wash
ington. presumably looking at the
United States stepping in to assume
the role of arbitrator in the case. The
latest known instructions from his
government are that the Guatemalan
minister shall pursue uniformly pa
cific policy, and these are the same in

tellanos, the new minister Of Salvador,

ENGLISHMEN !. GlTATED
American Beef and Business M HthOds
Are Cursed in the Same
Breath.
ENGLISH NEAT DRIVEN OUT,
And 1t Is Now Sought by the Ameri-
can Combine to Absolutely
Control the Price.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-The meeting of
the meat and cattle section of the Lon.
don chamber of commerce in Memorial
hall has served to bring out storm of
jealous abuse in regard to American
meat and American business methods.
The Daily Telegraph's statement that
American beef kings, after half ruin
ing British hus bandry, now coolly pro-
pose to take an additional million from
British traders and consumers, is re-
peated on all sides. In an interview
with Chairman Cooper of the cattle
section Of the London chamber of COM
merce. he is quoted as saying:
eff it was merely a question of no
abatement, there is no doubt that the
retailers could have accepted the situa-
ton. But it is viewed by many as
marking the beginning of
Series of Other Encroacments
on trade. The Americans 60 SO far as
to say not only shall the statesmen
be deprived of the pound and quarter
allowance in every quarter of meat
hitherto allowed, in order to compen-
safe for the loss by shrinkage in transit
and cutting up, but he must not make
such an allowance to his customers.
This is only the first step toward OBJ
tanning control of the market, and
when it suits their fancy, to corner the
trade.
1.-THE reason the Americans haue OBJ
tanned such hold on the English mar
ket is that they have sent meat to it
perfectly regardless of the price at
which it was sold. This was merely
to create demand. But in SO doing,
they have practically forced their meat
upon the market, and what is more
they have
Forced English Meat Clean Out of 1t.
''There are only two sources of meat
supply available for the London mar
ket, excluding of course, the frozen
stuff One is America and the other
Scotland. England itself is not in it
at afl. The importers have their prin-
cipal centers at Liverpool and at Dept
ford, near London, where their stock
is landed and slaughtered.
"What they are aiming at undoubt-
eddy is to drive every one out of the
trade if they, can possibly do so, in
order to create a monopoly. The regn-
late not only the wholesale but the
retail price in America. At one time
they fairly cornered the trade in New
Yolk. To overcome this legislature
was compelled to introduce bill to
the effect that all meat sold in New
York state must be killed in it,"
Referring to the cost of meat. Mr.
Cooper said:
1.-THE American has not to pay nearly
so much for the carriage of meat as the
Englishman. It costs less to bring
ton of beef from New York to London
than it does to bring the same quantity
from Aberdeen to London. The native
producer is not placed on anything like
a fair footing, and the American cap
italists realizing this are making every
effort to control the English market.
We, however, feel that they ought not
to be allowed to do so without great
struggle. maintain that if the trade
here sticks together, they can bring the
American importers to the old terms,
because their meat must be Sold"

LABOR LEGISLATION.

The factory act of 1893 has, on the whole,
fulfilled the purpose for which it was en-
acted. There are some minor defects de-
veloped in the practical workings of the
law that should be corrected. Our min
ing industry needs mine inspection law,
in spirit and purpose similar to the factory
inspection law. Chapter IS of the General
Laws of 1893, the so-called personal liberty
law, should be amended so as to be
clearer, more specific and more stringent
in its provisions.
Recent LABOR strikes strongly suggest
the Importance of enacting suitable laws
for the Cancellation or arbitration of dis
putes between capital and labor in some
tribunal or before some board designated
by law.
In the presence of SO much idle labor
needing public and private assistance it
would be proper to consider the wisdom of
giving our various municipalities more en-
larged powers to raise and expend funds
in the construction of waterworks, sewer.
age, streets, parks, electric lights and
other essential urban facilities, to the end
that such public improvements could be
made in a manner to afford labor to those
who without such labor would have TO
rely on charity of some kind for their sup
port.
