A Neglected Reform.

no bill has been introduced to reform
our land title laws. In nearly every
other state this reform has received
marked attention. Only last week a
bill 9embodying the Torrens system of
land transfers almost passed the Illi-
neis state senate, and it was to come
upu again today. Real estate dealers
and real estate owners who have
studied the system and realized its
simplicity and safety warmly favor it
in Illinois, and the Tribune Is urging
its passage. But the abstract COM
panies all oppose it, and can well af-
ford to pay powerful Hobbies to assist
them. Heretofore Minnesota legisIa-

their attention by bill introduced by
John Wacek, but no friend of the re-

William r. Merriam falls in with the
proposed arrangement just as the
GLOBE article said he would. 1t was
hardly to be expected he would do so
mus early; but, as usual, he exhibits
a ieVei political head in doing so. That
declaration of Gov Merriam practi-
caily assures Senator Davis the Min

OF the senator's qualifications for the
position of secretary of state indicates
that; try will be made for that in
case the highest honor cannot he

AT THE THEATERs.

''Shore Acres" one of the brightest
and sweetest plays ever seen upon the
stage in this city, will be given fine
production at the Metropolitan opera
house for one week, commencing Sun
day evening, April Z, with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
The De Wolf Opera company, headed
by the prince of fun makers, De Wolf
Hopper, will present tonight at the
Metropolitan the funniest and most
melodic of all comic operas, entitled
DIR. SyntaX." The company, which is
said to be the largest and best the
comedian has yet had, numbers sew
enty-five people, and includes all Of the
original favorites of the cast, which
comprises the comedians charming
young wife, Edna Wallace-Hopper;
Jennie Goldthwaite, as well as Cyril
Scott, Edmund Stanley. Alfred Klein,
Alice Hosmer and F'lorine Murray, two
clever condolences: Thomas S.. Guise,
an excellent baritone, and last though
not least, that enhancing singer, Ber-
tina Waltzinger. The magnificent stage
settings, the picturesque and brilliant
costumes, as well as all the novel
stage effects, including a mimic boat
race between two college crews, will
be utilized here. The advance sale of
seats will commence at the box Office
on next Monday morning. The engage
ment is limited to three nights and one
matinee.
The sale of seats and boxes for the
g -+0 OF
the Grand begins today, and in view
of the unusually large inquiry for seats
received by mail, Manager Kingsbury
anticipates a large sale. That excel
lent organization, the Giffen and NeilI
company, is now under the personal
direction of Mr.. Lift. During the first
week it will present Dion Boucicault's
dramatic masterpiece, ''The Jilt." The
play enjoyed long and prosperous run
at Wallack's theater, New York, in the
heyday of that theater's great success.
1t has not been played very frequently
of late, presumably on account of its
long and eXacting cast. 1t calls for
the entire strength of the present COM
pany. The play deals with the eXc1t-
ing episodes which go to make up the
history of the race course. More than
a dozen prominent characters are in
troduced, and all are tinctured with
the stirring life of the track. The
story of the play is woven around the
great race for the Yorkshire cup, and
in its evolution the great author has
worked out the most subtle dramatic
romance ever presented upon the con-
temporaneouS stage.
One of Jacob Lifts famous successes,
"The Ensign is at his play house, the
Grand, this week. Manager Lift has
correctly staged this glorious drama,
and an excellent cast interpret the
many interesting characters. Mr.. Ha-
worth has never written more exc1t-
ing play than this. A matinee Will be
given again Saturday.

TWO VIEWS OF B0UNTIES.
The Johns Bill Unwise.

Duluth Herald.
The house in committee Of the Whole
yesterday recommended for passage
the Johns BILL to encourage the smelt-
ing of iron ore within the state of Min
nesota. The bill authorizes the APP
pointment of commissioners to inveSti-
gate the feasibility of such smelling,
and appropriates $1,000 for expenses.
It is difficult to perceive what good
such an investigation as is proposed
will accomplish. The report of such
a commission will have no weight with
practical iron men, and it is to them
that we must look for the establish
ment of an iron industry here.
If the legislature is DESTROYS of offer
ing encoura cement, TO the establish
ment of furnaces in the state for the
conversion of our iron ore into pig iron,
let it pass the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Stebbins providing for a constitu-
tional amendment whereby a bounty
can be paid on the amount of Mime
sofa ore converted into pig iron at
furnaces within the state. This would
be practical encouragement for the
establishment of smelling plants in

Bounties Are Dangerous.

Chatfield Democrat.
In addition to Stebbins' iron bounty
bill there is another similar bill before
the legislature, to pay a bounty on the
production of sugar beets in the state.
1t has by no means been satisfactorily
demonstrated that the sugar beet can
be profitably raised in Minnesota. In
fact the experiments made in that line
have not been sufficiently encouraging
to justify any great investment in the
business without further investigation.
Minnesota will do well to wait until
the experiment is thoroughly tested In
some other states which have shown
particular adaptability to the cultiva-
ton of the sugar beet. This granting
of a state bounty is dangerous prac-
tice, liable to great abuse, especially
in a popular government where the
demagogues and dishonest schemers
have so many opportunities to get in
their work

MY COUNTRY, ;TIs OF THEE

For time so long that the oldest
cannot recall time when it was
unsung, the men and women and
children of this nation have been
singing My Country, tbs of thee.
sweet land Of liberty, of thee I
sing, and feeling their pulses throb
the quicker and their hearts warm.
and their veins glow with the patri-
otlc ardor the noble song inspires.
And so venerable is the song that
one can hardly realize that the man
who wrote it is still among the liv-
ing, and hale and hearty at the ripe
Old age of eighty-siX. One thinks
OF the song as the outburst of some
patriot of the Revolution, making
vocal the rejoicing of q people in the
achievement Of their freedom.
Smith was one of the merry gror1n
OF the boys" who gathered around
their alma mater in 1859 and lis
tened to the delightful poem of
Holmes, in which he scouts the idea
that the boys" were old, and insist
ed that
We're twenty-we're twenty. Who
says we are more?
He's tipsy-young ackanapes-show
him the door.
Gray temples at twenty?' Yes, white,
if you please;
Where the snowfiakes fall thickest
there nothing can freeze"
And it was the author of this ma
tional anthem of whom Holmes. in
this poem, said:
And there's nice youngster of excel
lent pith,
Fate tried to conceal him by naming
him Smith;
But he shouted a song for the brave
and the free,
Just read on his medal, ''My Country. +"
''of thee
So it was fitting that on this eighty
sixth birthday of the author of the
| song immortal, the children in the
schools from farthest Maine to
remotest Oregon should rise at
the noon hour and sing in
concert the familiar song in honor
and memory of it's author. There is
something inspiring in the thought
of the continual roll of the song
from the myriads Of young threats,
beginning with midday on the At
lantic and following the sun in its
course across the continent. There
comes with it a larger concept of
the land and higher concept of its
destiny and fresher impulse of the
| duty we all owe it.

taxpayers and said board as to it's
utility, its fairness and it's ability to do
Justice in the work entrusted to it's
care. Mr.. Fairchild says that COM
planners misrepreSent the facts re-
garding the action and power Of the
board. He says the initiative comes
from the council: therefore, they are
bound to obey. This is not the fact
1t is true that all intended or pre-
tended improvements originate in the
council, but no action is taken there
either to order or to confirm con-
naet until the board, which has hung
Hike shadow of death over the CITY
for so many years, has recommended
the work to be- done, the board having,
HS virtue of an ambiguous and insatia-
bic charter, a power of discretion
which, if properly used, would have
saved vast unnecessary expense.
and given unlimited satisfaction to the
people. The council is but little to
blame in the matter, for under the
charter they have but little discretion
but to obey the recommendations of
the board. To attempt to battle the
passage of the bill to abolish the board
isl THE people claim, a fatal mistake.
The board has always been subject to
pOfftlcdl COiuDlIldtlOnS. Men nave D66n
appointed and continued in Office with
but small ability to cope with the
weighty measures to be considered.
Under the domination of the board and
guidance of the city engineer, much
of the natural beauty Of the city has
been destroyed. Grades have been
made through beautiful elevations,
which, in different hands, could have
been rendered artistic and attractive;
the hand of the Vandal can be seen in
many parts of the city, where unneces-
sary devastation has left the imprint
of its blistering footsteps. Millions of
money have been charged up against
ahutting property to the extent of con-
fscation. Appeals have had no weight.
The Juggernaut of oppression has
rolled over the necks of the impov-
erished poor, regardless of the pail of
depression that has overshadowed the
city. The board should be abolished

HIT THE RIGHT ONES.

When some committee of the late
congress, in a spaSm of economy,
struck out the appropriation for
printing the monthly statements of
the treasury department showing
our foreign commerce, which, under
Mr.. Ford's supervision, have been
SO valuable to all concerned, whether
the student or the man of business,
it might have anticipated that a
reckless and hungry partisanry
would make the most party capital
possible out of it. So we have the
New York Tribune darkly limiting
that Secretary Carlisle is responsible
for the outrage, as it terms it-and
it is that-and that he does it be-
cause the trade conditions are so
bad under the new tariff, of course,
that he does not want the public to
know of it. Thence by a crescendo
of Mysteries it proceeds to berate
him, and demand that Mr.. Ford
have enough copies printed to at
least supply one to each of the
leading papers of each party in each
city.
The Tribune. knows better, as Mr..
Ford sent out a circular to the press
announcing the. discontinuance and
its cause. The whole blame rests on
a congress that would vote away
$5,000.000 to the sugar planters, but
could not find the means to publish
the trade statements. But the Trib-
une thinks there is no party capital
now to be made in flashing that
corpse, and so it turns it's venom on
parties who are not only innocent,
but over whose protest the appro-
priation was cut off. But such is
politics and such is journalism.

SENATE AT WORK.
Quiet But Profitable Day in the
Upper House.


AT the morning session of the SEN
ate yesterday great deal of time was
spent in discussion of the Hanna bill,
which provides for the election of
members. of the railroad and ware
house commission instead of their
appointment by the governor. Sena-
tor Stevens moved that the bill be re-
ferred to the judiciary committee, as
1t provided for such very radical
changes in the law, and besides he
doubted it's constitutionality. The SEN
ator promised that referring it back
to the judiciary committee would only
cause delay of about forty-eight
hours, but the motion was opposed
by the friends of the measure, the
author pointing out the danger of
delay.
Senator Wyman declared himself in
favor of the motion to refer the bill,
and Senator Thompson made a very
strong argument in favor of electing
all officers by the people.
Senator McHale said that personally
he considered it very doubtful whether
it was wise to make such a radical
change, although he knew that the
people thought that they should have
chance to vote for these officers.
vote being taken, the bill was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee, %
senators voting for and 10 against the
motion.
H. F. 748, fixing the time of holding
court in Houston county, being a local
bill, was passed under suspension of

ton, and made a special order for next
Tuesday.
The railroad committee recommend
ed an amendment to the bill providing
for a commission to examine into the
cost of railways in Minnesota by which
the proposed appropriation was raised
from $4,000 to $4,000.
The passage of the measure was de-
bated very holly. Senator Wyman
made motion for indefinite post
ponement of the bill, which was finally
killed by a vote of 27 to 90

MIR. Kelly Defines His Positie


Hon. p. H. Kelly was asked yester-
day about the alleged split in the Ram
sey delegation that an evening paper
had attempted to make a sensation

said he. Mr.. Warner introduced
some bills which / had no opportunity
to examine, and as a representative in
some degree of many heavy. taxpayers
l cannot afford to act hastily or blindly
on any bill affecting the interests of
this city or county. Wheni 1 went to
stenographer to get a copy of the bill
to establish substitute for the board
OF public works l found it would cost
S25 to get such a copy. When these
facts were brought to Mr.. Warmers
attention he admitted the justice of
my contention and moved to have the
bills laid on the table until they could
be properly examined
Mr.. Warner feels very keenIy the
mistaken position of the Dispatch in
this matter, for no one is more willing
than the gentlSssan from the Seventh
ward to admit That there are other
men on the delegation who are doing
good, conscientious work for the in
terests of Ramsey county, and thew
are not lawyers either.
Il will say further that the Dispa tch
dtdsnot make the speaker, nor the SEN
ator, and neither can it shape the
legislation we need My course i'm the

Revision and ReappOrtiOnment
Benson Times

The talk of a constitutional conven-
vention ought not to be allowed to end
in talk. The revision is needed badly
now, and if it is not provided for by
this legislature at least three years
more will elapse before it can be had.
Another thing that is needed still more
is a reaPportionment of the state, and
by all means should be provided for at
once. We do not expect that the pres
ent senators will arrange to legislate
themselves out of office, that is not to
be thought of, but it will be an outrage
If the state is not reapportioned two

people will be gratefully rendered if it
