no faster than taxes are levied and
collected annually.
The site has been purchased, and the
foundation put in. The next contract
to be let will cover the main walls and
the roof of the structure. 1t should be
present time. The state will save a
great deal of money by doing so, as
we'll as pushing forward the work of
construction more rapidly. A big con-
tract can be placed on more advan-
tageous terms than a small one, and a
man who is going to get payment
promptly or in lump sum will bid
lower than one whose estimates are to
be paid in driblets, year by year. For
this reason it has been suggested that
the amount to be placed at the disA
nosal Of the capitol commission be an
ticipated. Let such a sum as would
be realized, say during the eighth,
ninth and tenth years of this appro-
priation, be paid out in gross from the
school or some other fund in which
there is a cash surplus. and let it be
reimbursed, with interest, from the pro-
ceeds of the tax for capitol purposes
when that tax natures.
This is all that there is to the propo-
sition. 1t means that there shall be
expended within the next few years
the money which, under the original
arrangement, would not be expended
for seven or eight years to come. 1t does
not vary the total amount by single
cent. The limit of the cost stands as
originally fixed, and where everybody
agrees that it should remain The only
change made would be in the method of
realizing the cash, and in providing
that a larger portion of it might be put
out at once In the interest Of a good
building and Of economy to the state.
We hope that those who have been
led, by false presentation of the case,
to distort this into a plan to increase
the capitol appropriation and levy
larger taxes, will do ST. Paul and the
painstaking and efficient capitol COM
mission the simple justice of acknowl-
edging and correcting the mistake.

BOOMING DAVIS.

Senator G. X. Davis is being brought out
with much vigor for portfolio by the Mime
sofa dailies. Senator Davis is composed Of
good cabinet timber.-Eveleth Star.
The mere mention of the name Of that far
secretary Of state in McKinley's cabinet,
should bring to his aid the public press and
men from every section of this grand and
glorious state. No better or more efficient man
could be selected for the important position
Verndale Sun.
Prospects are that Minnesota Is to have a
cabinet position under President Mckinley
names Of G. X. Davis and w. r. Merriam
being mentioned. Davis should be the favored
man, he has the ability and is held high in
the estimation Of the people. The other fellow
has too much ring politician reputation to
suit the people.-Elmore Eye.
Senator Davis and Ex-Governor Merriam are
talked of for place in McKinley's cabinet.
By all means let it be Davis.-Norwood
Times.
1t looks very much as II Senator Davis will
be secretary of state under President McKfn-
ley's administration. Mr.. Davis knowledge
of international law eminently fits him for
the position.-Winnebago City Press-News.
There is a strong probability that MiS2e-
sofa will be represented in McKnley's cabi-
net and whether it will be G. X. Davis as
secretary Of state, or Bill Merriam as secre-
tary of the treasury Is a matter which is
agitating the grey matter in the craniums
of North Star politicians. Without a doubt
Davis is the better and the wiser man. and
it would be a graceful as well as polite act
on the part Of the president-elect to tender
the portfolio Of secretary Of state to our
senior senator-Lakefeld Standard.

FAIR PLAY FOR THE CAPITOL

We observe that a number Of the
country newspapers have been misled
by the deliberately false statements
made in the Minneapolis Journal con-
corning the projects of st. Paul and
the capitol commission. What purpose
the Journal has in this, or how it can
reconcile its conduct with the ordinary
obligation of honor, we do not pretend
to know. But those who have not
fan1iliarized themselves with the actual
circumstances of the case are, in soma
instances, convinced that an attempt is
to be made to raise the limit of cost of
the new capitol building st. Paul and
Ramsey county, say these uniformed
or misinformed critics, have nothing
to ask Of the legislature in the way
of offices, because they hope for a big
plum in the shape Of an additional ap-
preparation for the capitol.
Now, let us state the exact facts
plainly, so that there may be no pos
sible mistaking them. No person. COM
mission community or other body of
men has proposed, limited or desired,
as far as we are aware, to add one
penny to the limit Of the cost of the
new capitol as fixed by the last legis-
lature. If there is any individual in
st. Paul or out of it who has thought
Of such a thing, we are not aware of
1t. What has been suggested, and
what would be both for the interest of
the state and for the benefit of its new
building, is that the appropriations for
the last years Of the term over which
the tax levy is spread might be made
available for immediate use by trans
fer Of money from one fund to another.
The law under which the new capitol is
being constructed provides that the
cost shall be betrayed by taxes levied
over a period of ten years Only the
amount collected each year is availa-
BILE for building purposes during that
year. Thus the work can 60 forward

The Importance and effect of the es-
Establishment of a new through line be-
tween the Northwest and the East, by
which freights can move without
breaking bulk or making the detour to
avoid the lake, made feasible by the
use OF the car ferry, is being felt in
unexpected directions. Milwaukee finds
that her trade gains an advantage by
sending cars north to Manitowoc to be
sent across to Ludington by the ferry,
instead Of going south to Chicago
There is a small gain in distance, but
there is a far greater gain in exemp-
ton from the delays that attend the
transfer Of cars in Chicago to connect
ing Eastern roads. So valuable is this
advantage that railway official in
formed the Sentinel that the St. Paul
road will have to build line into Man
itowoc to enable it's freights to take
the shorter and cheaper route.
Another result will be the straighten-
ing out of the lines of the two rail
ways that connect st. Paul with Mani
towoc. Both the Northwestern and the
Central have made directness give way
to other considerations, so that, on the
lines to the lake, there are distance
consuming angles in each. These will
have to be taken out by building lines
across the bases of the angles, and the
SentihePs informant says the North
western is already surveying a line to
straighten out it's "kink." Manitowoc
papers make mention Of purchases
there of land that indicate a contem-
plated location Of another railway ter
minal, but what other Western road
is looking to this new car ferry outlet
for it's Eastern traffic is left to surmise,
the 500 being the favorite among the
guessers. From Ludington, over the
lake, connections have been made for
direct communication with the new
seaport, Newport News, that has so
suddenly sprung into prominence. 1t
becomes thus more evident that the
G o b was not mistaken in its early
estimate of the value to the city and
the Northwest of the new Eastern out
let.

BELIEVED TO COIN

TENTATIVE MEASURE IS FAULTY.
Its Passage, Even as Temporary
MaI<eshift, Would Prove
Serious Obstruction.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 23.-The Com
mercial Tribune will print tomorrow
long article signed by Gen. Grosvenor,
congressman from Ohio, in which he
outlines his views as to the policy of
the Republican party. He says, in the
outset, that he expresses his own views
and does not undertake to commit or
represent any other member of the
party than himself. Furthermore he
does not even consent to bind himself.
to these Views should the majority Of
his Republican associates on the ways
and means committee dissent from
them. He says:
The question Of the hour, 1t seems to me-
so far as it relates to economic legislation
is: Ought the Flfty-fourth congress, in its
closing session, pass the Dngley BILL or
should that measure be allowed to perish and
the Republican party move forward to the
discharge of the high duty imposed upon it
by the recent election?'
On this question, Gen. GroSVenOr
takes the position that although it
might be we'll if the Dingley bill could
be passed. for temporary relief and
be followed Immediately after the
fourth of March in an extra session of
congress, by the passage of a proper
permanent measure. yet the passage
obstruct the passage Of a proper meas
ure and therefore should not be at
tempted. He criticises the Dingley bill
for proposing advaloreum duties which
have proven standing invitations to
defraud the government. This was one
great defect of the Wilson bill and it
should be remedied in future legisla-
ticn. Another reason for the defeat Of
the Dingley bill is that it does not
meet the requirements of the ST. Louis
platform as a protective measure. He
adds:
Every Republican member Of the ways and
means committee has been reelected and
these members, during the time which is to
elapse between the first Monday in December
and the fourth day in March. can form
ulate a tariff bill predicted upon the prin-
ciples Of the Mckinley law, with schedules
adapted to existing conditions, perfected and
ready for passage within ten days after the
meeting OF an extra session of congress and
then if there is patriotism and Republican
ism enough in the senate, 1t can be passed
into law and be ready for enforcement by
the first of May.
On the other hand, let the Dlngley law
be passed, founded as it is upon errors that
are organic and incurable then let it run
until December, 1897, and let congress organ
lie, appoint committees, encounter the delay
OF holidays. attack mass of incidental legis-
lation, and set about framing a permanent
tariff. In that it would do we'll if it
got any measure through by September, 1898,
in the midst of a campaign Of congress.
Meanwhile the country would be flooded with
industries. the reduction of revenue and
long list of consequent evils.
From Gen. Grosvenor's close relations
TO President-elect Mckinley, it is gen.
orally believed that their views on
this matter very nearly coincide.

MURDERED A MIsER,
Five Youths on Trial for the Crime
I'm Paris,

PARIS, Nov. 24-There was a. large
and aristocratic assemblage of per-
sons including Nine. Georges Hago, at
the opening of the trial of five youths
today for the murder Of Baroness de
Valley, an aged and eccentric miser,
last June. She was eighty-two years
old. The police believe they have evil
dence, given them by an informer, that
the murder was the result of plot by
an organized gang, one of whom was
the protege of the baroness, a lad
named Lageny. He procured the keys
Of her apartments for a time to have
duplicates made. 1t has been alleged
that these keys were made by the man
who afterwards turned informer. His
name was Raoul Durand. A man
named Ferrand and the two Juliens
were the other members of the gang.
After the crime had been committed
Lageny told Durand all the details and
he went Immediately to the police and
told them. 1t is supposed that the
actual murder was committed by two
youths named Pierre Ferrand and
Julien Kingsen, who were supported by
disreputable women in the Latin quar-
ter, and who wrote for publication, the
one verses and the other fiction They
are believed to have acted merely as
the tools of the others.

To the Editor of the Globe.
AS the G o e has given Rev. David Nor
gan an opportunity to reply to certain strict
ures'' made on himself and the Bethel II
might also help him to explain certain other
facts.
BY what right did Rev. David Morgan and
other private parties obtain 50 900 from the
city on the pretense of erecting free
public bath?'' Having erected bathing house,
by what right do they now advertise to the
public that bath can be obtained for 10
cents 0he same price charged by number
Of other cheap baths)?
About four years ago Investigation Of
the Friendly Inn" was made by the Amer
ican section Of the Socialist Labor party I
was a member of the committee and will give
here a portion of its report, published in the
Trades and Labor Bulletin.
1t was ascertafned that the Friendly Inn
was obtaining labor at the rate Of about 80
cents day, paying it in cast-on clothing and
board and lodging, the board" consisting
chiefly Of thin soup, containing very little
meat" and bread, according to one who had
partaken Of 1t. As there were no pious
friends Of the chaste and priestly David able
to suppress this report, it was given to the
public, thus having a fate differing somewhat
from that Of the committee appointed last
spring by the board Of aldermen to investigate
the Bethel charity"
Rev. David will hardly attempt to deny the
facts l have mentioned. but should he at
tempt again to utilize the daily press in OBJ
tanning money from the public, will publish
some facts regarding his veracity which will
open the eyes of the public. F. r. Hays
