s MANY NEW DEPOTS.
East Side, West Side, All
About the
Town.

The plans for the new Northern
Pacific depots are not yet posted fnI
public inspection, and we can give
only such Information as il furnished
by reliable authority. While we have
obtained our facts from the. hest
sources, it would be unfair to quote
Mr.. Adams, Of the re0rga MIA ton
committee; President Winter, General
Manager Kendrick, or the members
OF the local special surveying party
When we speak Of the plans we mean
to Indicate that there are various
propositions under cOnstdera ton
each with evident iea lures OF advant.
age. Expense will cut no figure III
the project. We believe that that
statement Ia fully sustained by the
record Of the past twenty years in
the matters rela ting to the Little
Falls depot. Such Il thing us en-
pense has never been considered or
incurred.
But as to the new plans-all inter
ests IRE notin entire harmony. One
solution of the problem Is the COLI
struction of large number of de-
pots az follows:
One on the present site.
One at thecrcsslEgo of the main line
and Broadway on the East side, The
depot extending across the street,
and SO constructed that those who
want it north of Broadway can use
the north end. and those who want
it south of Broadway can use the
south end.
One near the crossing OF First
avenue south and the tracks. and the
vacation IF all other avenues.
One at the north end IF First s. reet.
One on the West side, near the
Antlers
One near the junction Of the Little
Falls & Dakota and cutoff.
One south west of the gate house,
near the canal.
Each once Of these plans has staunrl,
supporters among the heavy stock
holders and on the board OF directors,
but it IL not our desire to mention
any names, except that the CID VII
lard interests favor having the depot
as far south as possible.
1t Is certain that most of these
Geputs will be built, and the people
Of Little Falls wiIf certainly have n
right to complain II any are omitted
from the improvements.
The only compromise that has
been suggested that has strong
supporters is proposition to have Il
"Delt line" depot built all around the
town, touching every street and
avenue, and conveniently located to
all hotels, and in the interests OF all
property owners and localities.
Such a depot would Of course suit
everybody.
1t doesn't matter much where the
freight yards are. or whether there
are any. There is no sentiment In
business. and freight shipments are
Just business matters. But the new
depot is matter OF sentiment, and
great interest is taken in that. The
shipment of Il couple Of train loads
OF products day IL of minor i'm
portance. How the railroad will
handle it's great freight traffic Is of
no public concern; what we care
about is where the hotel busses drive

e :
An adjourned session 1T the city
council was helu Friday evening". All
members were present.
The first business OF the evening
was the cOnsidera tiOn OF the appli-
cation Of p. j. Gross Tor a liquor
license. On motion it was ordered
that the license he granted and
issued>on the payment Of the license
fee His bond, with Fred Stangl and
A. w. Zaloudek as. sureties, was
approved. 49,.
The proposition of the Little Falls
Improvement company. made to the
council at it's last reg ular meeting,
In which the company offered to pay
500 or one-third OF the estimated
cost of break water On the east
bank of the river below the dam for
the protection of property and
streets, was upon motion made by
Alderman Mecusker rejected by the
council. At the time the PROPOSE
ton was made by the company, the
council decided to visit the location
OF the proposed improvements in a
body to ascertain the necessity for it..
The matterwas not discussed at last
nights meeting.
A petition signed by large num-
Der of the members of Hose Go. No. 8,
asking asking that their hose
house, now located near the Broad
way bridge, be removed to lot
near the Water Power office ON
Third street southwest. Members
were present and stated that VI. M.
Williams had offered the use of the
lot free and that the hose house and
bell tower could both be removed
for $25. The lot to which it ia
proposed to remove the building, is
claimed by the firemen to be much
nearer a central location than the
present site,. The matter was re-
ferred to the fire committee.
Chief J.afond, of the fire depart
ment, reported that he had two
offers for furnishing runners for
Chemical! engine No. /. One was for
$l5 and the other $16. Alderman
Schmitt was of tine opinion that
both bids were high and moved that
the matter be referred to the pur-
chasing committee, and his motion
prevailed.
Chief Lafond also recommended
that the council take some action
toward having the city fire alarm
put in order again. and to provide
some means of having it kept in
good condition. This matter was
also referred to the fire committee
and the committee is to report at a
specia! meeting next Tuesday even
ing.
The matter of vacating a portion
Of Fifth avenue northeast between
Seventh and Eighth streets was
brought up. The proposed vacation
was asked for by Mr.. Kiewel who

petition signed by the requisite
number of property owners on that
street. The resolution as published
and the 25th of Septem Der was the
day set for the hearing of objections,
ii any, to the proposed vacation.
The hearing was overlooked in some
way by the council. This would
require the publication Of the resolu-
ton again anu the setting of another
day for the hearing. Mr.. Kiewel
was present at the meeting and
being DESTROYS of changing his
petition the council gave him until
next Tuesday evening to get his new
petition made and signed.
The council then adjourned until

President Cleveland did not make any rccom-
dation when he sent the report of the Nicaragua

vorable nature of that report, concerning the
building of the canal under existing plans,
makes it well ngh certain that no bill authoril-
ing the guarantee of bonds to be issued by the
present Congress can become Il law.
The anti-priZe fighting bill, putting heavy

tests tor money III any OF the territories or i'll

The result of the bidding for those bonds are

bonds to the Morgan syndicate: but, inaSnuch

MIR. LEES REASSEsSMENT BILL.

Hon. John l.. g. Lee has introduced
a bill in the Legislature for reassess
ment, which will give home rule as fan
as the Constitution will allow it, 1t
requires the assessment to be made
by the local authorities and Hpon the
principles with which the people have
been familiar since 1916, whea the
present system was formulated by
Chancellor Johnson and Thomas Don
aldson.
The bill, which shows much thought
and study, makes the reassessment of
realty and chattels mandatory, and
leaves each city and county to decide
for itself whether there shall be any
reassessment of personal property or
not. Where there is none the present
assessment will stabd.
Under the present tax laws which
would control this reassessment moth
ing escapes taxation except mortgages
and churches and the property of a
few corporations which enjoy exemp-
lions, all of which exemptions, wher-
ever they can be done, should be re-
pealed.
The assessment of the stock of cor
porations is done by the State Tax
Commissioner, and nothing can escape
him except upon the order of the Leg
islature.

GOLD As THE BASIS OF OUR FL
NINCIIL SYSTEM.

The bond issue of last week and the
recent passage of the United States
Senate of the free silver bill has again
brought the financial question promi-
nently before the people.
The lack of gold reserve in the
United States Treasury, and the re-
fusal of Congress to legislate so as to
supply this deficiency made it evident
to the Administration that the de-
ficiency of gold would have to be sup
piled by bond issue. On February
fifth, United States thirty-year bonds
bearing four per cent interest, to the
amount of one hundred million
dollars were issued by the Treasury
department and sold to the highest
bidders. The prices paid ranged from
III dollars to ia dollars for bonds
the par value of which was 500
These bonds were not sold to any syn,
dictate, but it was popular bond is
sue; every one having gold to invest
was given an opportunity to purchase
the bonds.
The silver bill that recently passed
the Senate will never get any further.
The House of Representatives would
not pass such bill, nor would Presi-
dent Cleveland think of putting his
signature to it. We do not believe
that even the Senate would have al
lowed the bill to pass, if they had not
known that il was a dead letter from
the start.
There is a strong and growing senti'
ment among the leading tinanciers OF
both the Democratic and Republican
parties that in order to maintain a
sound financial system, We must, like
Ems and and the governments OF
Europe, establish and maintain a
gold standard. England established
a gold standard early in the present
century, and she has not since devia
ted from that policy. All the nations
who today are sound financially have
a simple gold standard, and it is folly
TO assert that any one country can es
tablish and maintain bimetalisnl
without the co cooperation of the Other
nations. 1t is a question whether, as
an international policy, bimetalism
would not end in financial crisis
The unalterable principle in econo
mics that the market value of any
article is regulated by the demand fol-
and supply of that article, makes a
single standard the only safe one fol
any nation.
President Cleveland has always
been an advocate of sound money and
single gold standard. Notwithstand
ing the wall of the calamity howlers
he has vigorously adhered to his policy
1t is the only plan that will give us
credit and keep that credit undimin,
ished before the nations of the world

Washington Letter,
From our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The anti-silvcr Re

ued to whip their silver CO leagues into line
io' the support of the House tariff bill, and
Tor that reason they allowed the free coinage
substitute for the House bond bill to 20
through the Senate without attempting to de
lay it. They knew that the House would kill
it, as il Will actually do this week, and thought
that they would then be able to rush the tariff
bill through the Senate without amendment
They first learned their mistake when the Fl

Governor Lowndes has weakened
considerably since his Inauguration
last fall. During the campaign his
promises in regard to reform were
profuse and we all felt if he carried
out half of his promises, the State
would indeed be in better condition
than she had ever been since the days
of Lord Baltimore But with his in
duction into office ''times have chang
ed" The Governor has found to his
sorrow or probably Intentionally that
things will not be what he promised.
In his speech in Baltimore the other
night he said 1.-The campaign had been
keyed too high We always claimed
this, and it is a satisfaction to those
Democrats who remained true to their
pledges to see how ridicuIously some of
their misinformed friends have acted.
