holders and with a marked degree of
efficiency. will not be disturbed by this
action of the Seattle court The new
phase of affairs will simply require
a journey to the Pacific coast by the
supreme justice assigned to that cir
cult. He will hold court there, make
an order removing Mr.. Burleigh and
appointing Messrs. McHenry and Bige-
low, and there the contest will end.
For even Judges Hanford and Gilbert
will scarcely care to carry their con-
tumacy to the point that would invite
removal by Impeachment for cause. 1t
is intimated that, since Judge Fields
age would make this duty a heavy
burden upon him. one of the other
justices will be assigned to that circuit
for carrying out the decision of the
court. The supreme court of the United
States is not in the habit of seeing it's
mandates disobeyed and it's decisions
f1ippantly set aside; and since the agree
ment of the four justices had all the
weight of a formal decree, we may be
sure that it. will be carried into effect
without delay. 1t is unfortunate that
the western court should have chosen
to raise to the point of scandal a
judicial contest that ought never to
have arisen. They must bear the re-
sponsibility. AS far as the actual fut-
ure and management of the road are
concerned, all practical questions were
settled when primary jurisdiction was
located in the Milwaukee court. The
influences which are at work to con-
tinue opposition to that decision will
be as unsuccessful as they are i'm
polite and unwise.

THE SWAMP LAND GRANTS.

1t is not easy to understand the atti-
tude of the interior department in re-
sisting the claim of the state to the
swamp lands in the reservations
about to be thrown open to set
tlement. The same reasons of good
public policy that secured the adoption
of the policy Of giving these lands to
the states to be used in facilitating
internal improvements exist today in
greater force than ever. The abolition
of sales of public lands and the re-
striction to settlement under the home
stead act leave these lands inaccessi-

an honest administration would be

CHEAPER LIGHTING.

The arrangement with the city pro-
posed by the st. Paul Gas Light COM
pany and accepted by the board of
aldermen last night is so much to the
public advantage that we cannot doubt
its ratification by the assembly. The
net result will be, as shown by the
G o heretofore, a saving of about
$4,000 in the cost of street lighting
and joined with this is another large
saving to private consumers by the re-
duction of the net price of gas to them
from $3.50 to $1.3O per thousand feet.
This is a great gain in both directions.
and must be regarded as a satisfactory
outcome of the agitation of the light
ing question that has been in progress
for some months past.
AS the bids submitted showed, the
lowest cost to the city for street light
ing was to be obtained by accepting
the bid of the gas light company for
electric lights in district number two.
and for gas lighting in the other parts
of the city. For the most part this
was not only a measure of economy
but was in accord with the wishes Of
the people, The central business Sec
tion is the one best adapted to and
most suited for the arc light system.
The residence districts are mostly op-
posed to it. In at least one other dis
trict, including a portion of the busi-
ness section, a large portion of the
people would prefer the arc lights; but,
as this arrangement could have been
secured only at the cost of the whole
city, it was obviously necessary to
defer the change until another season,
and to make the best arrangement
practicable for the present
1t was il this connection that the
gas light company played it's trump
card. 1t offered, in case. its bid were
accepted for gas for the whole city,
or for electric lighting in the one dis
trict and gas in theaothers, to make
the reduction stated to private con-
sumers over the entire city. Con-
sidering the fact that this proposition
was as a whole, most desirable finan-
cially on the city's part, that 1t could
not be thrown aside without raising
the whole cost of street lighting sew
eral thousand dollars, and that upon
it's acceptance or rejection depended
the reduced rate for the people, the
council would not have been justified
in refusing so great a benefit to the
public. The people of st. Paul have
abundant reason to be satisfied with
the arrangement agreed upon. It lasts
for but year in any event; and then,
if more active competition appears, we
shall be able to make still more favor
able terms. In the meantime the pub
lie is to be congratulated upon a prop
osition which carries with it a reduc-
tion so material in the cost of both
public and private lighting

ACCIDENTS AND RUNAwAYS.
More Than the Usual Number of
Such Occurrences.

Andrew Thorne, who works for
farmer named Johnson, living just east
Of the city, was hurrying across the
car tracks at Fifth and Robert streets
last evening at o'clock with heavily
loaded hay rack when the reach pole
broke, throwing Thomas to the pave
ment The street crossing was crowd
ed at the time, and the horses started
on run down Robert street, dragging
the driver in their wake. Officer Hen
ry Gruber, however, averted a serious
accident by jumping at the heads Of
the frightened animals and bringing
them to a Standstill.
When Thorne had recovered his feet
it was found he had not been injured,
and the work of getting the load Of
hay off the street car tracks was be-
gun. AT this stage of the proceedings
a stranger, who is said to be travelling
man, began offering advice. He was
somewhat under the influence of liquor,
and became very insistent that his plan
of removing the wagon be adopted.
The man finally got into an argument
with Officer Gruber and several by

on the charge of being drunk and en-
gaging in disorderly conduct.

dedicated to the school fund of the
state. They are ''to be appraised and
sold in the same manner and by the
same officers, and the minimum price
shall be the same, less one-third, as
provided by law for the appraisement
and sale Of school lands" The same
amendment provided that ''the prin-
cipal of all funds derived from the sale
OF swamp lands shall forever be preserv-
edinviolate and undiminished," ,"one-half
OF the income to go to the common
school fund and the remaining half to
the educational and charitable institu-
tions of the state.
Surely. with this safeguard, with
every reason for the original policy re-
naming and intensified, there should
be no hesitation on the part of the in
terror department in following the pol
icy adopted and continued for over
forty years. The ground that the for
mer acts of grant applied only to lands
to which the United States then had
title is too technical The United
States was as much the owner, under
the French cession, of these lands as
1t is now. At most the Indians re-
linquished only an easement in the
lands, and their fee title was never
more seriously regarded than as a Sc
date sort of diplomatic fiction. There
is no good ground for distinguishing
between the claim Of the state to these
swamp lands and it's claim to the sec
tions 16 and Sc in each township for the
school fund, the validity of which has
been recognized and admitted The
argument of the attorney general pre-
sented by the governor to the Indian
bureau is a forcible and conclusive
presentation of the claim of the state.

THROWN FROM HIS WHEEL.
Rev. G. w. ScOvel Meets With a Sc
riOus Accident.

Rev. C. w. Scovel, the assistant pas
tor of the House of Hope church, met
with a serious accident at Seventh and
Cedar streets last evening by being vio-
lently thrown from bicycle against
the stone curb. Mr.. Scovel was picked
up in an unconscious condition and car
ried to DR.. AppIeby's Office, where some
time was required to restore him to his
normal condition. A cash over the left
eye, penetrating to the bone, was sewed
up by DR.. Appleby. when Mr.. Scovel
was taken in a carriage to his home,
at 174 College avenue. DR.. Appleby
was of the opinion last evening that Mr..
Scovel may have suffered a severe con-
cussion of the brain.
The accident occurred shortly after
o'clock, while Mr.. Scovel was riding
down Seventh street. Just as the foot
of the hill between Wabasha and Cedar
streets was reached, cloud Of dust
completely blinded Mr.. Scovel causing
him to lose control Of his machine,
The bicycle suddenly swerved toward
the sidewalk and threw its rider. The
full extent of Mr.. ScovePs injuries Will
not be known until today, though DR..
Appleby, after a visit to his patient at
II o'clock last evening, reported him to
be resting comfortably. with no posi-
tive indications of more serious conse-

HOULTON WAS ELECTED
Superintendent of the ST. Cloud Re-

After six ballots ex-senator William
H Houlton, of Elk River, was elected
superintendent of the st. Cloud re-

board of managers of the reformatory
in session at the Merchants hotel.
There were about fifteen other candi-

tions ''Mr" Houlton's chief COM
petitor was Capt Compton the present
assistant bank examiner. Other candi-
dates, with many recommendations,
were James Ege, eX-Sheriff of Henne-
pin county; Alfonso Barto, of st. Cloud;
Deputy Warden Lemon, of the state
prison, and o. NJ. Hall, Of Duluth.
Capt Houlton was born in Maine,
and went to Elk River In 1856. He en-
listed in a Minnesota regiment. and
served throughout the rebellion He
has been engaged in banking and mill
ing at Elk River for many years, ac-
cumulating a competence. He is an
extensive owner of farming lands in
the vicinity of his home. He Is, OF
course, Republican. He has served
in the state senate, but has never held
a position in any way similar to that
which he will hereafter occupy. An
eX-member of the state board of chari-
ties and corrections said last night:
''The appointment was purely politi-
cal one" But Capt. Houlton's prede-
cessors were also men without previous
experience in the duties of their Office.
