CITY VS.. COUNTY.
The Former Would have Penalties and
Interest on Delinquent Taxes
Should Warrants be Used in
Payment of Taxes.

At its regular meeting the first Of this
month the city council instructed it's
committee o n finance to investigate the
matter Of penalties and interest on de-
linquent taxes due the city from the
county, presumably on the supposition
that the city has not been receiving such
interest and penalties in the past. Sioux
Falls has a large claim OF this kind
against Minnehaha county which is lia-
BILE to give rise to much litigation and
no doubt other cities, if once they inves-
tigate the matter, will have similar
claims. Fortunately for this county and
city we learn from County Treasurer
Fleming that such penalties and interest
have been paid to the city US they &C
crued and that no action can lie between
the two bodies polite on that account.
Another matter, however, of not quite
30 much moment which passes through
the same channels, is being talked Of
quite freely and may result in a change
OF procedure. That is the paying of
taxes with city or county warrants. In
former days it used to be the practice
Of county %treasurers to allow the paying
OF taxes with warrants on the funds for
which the tax was being collected, to the
amount Of the individuals tax for that
particular fund, the county treasurer
credlting the amount on the warrant,
taking a receipt therefor from the holder
OF the warrant, and turning the same
back to the county or city in place Of
cash. This, of cousre is equivalent to
cashing the warrant for the amount Of
the tax, and IN many cases these war
rants are cashed before registered war
rants which is contrary to the ruling of
our courts. Former treasurers of this
county, we understand, followed this
practice up to the last year Of Mr.. Mug
gli's incumbeney when they began to
come in so fast he refused to receive
them. Treasurer Fleming, however, is
following the old custom of accepting
warrants in payment of taxes as provided
by law, though he wishes it were other
wise. There is no question that the re-.
ceiving Of warrants for taxes is directly
contrary to the spirit of the law which
provides for the payment OF warrants in
the order of their registration, and our
supreme court has so held twice, the last
time about two months ago in a case
against the county treasurer OF Beadle
county where it vas alleged that the
treasurer refused to take an 1892 war
rant Of the city OF Huron IN payment Of
1893 taxes. The supreme court held
that warrants are payable only in the
order Of their registration regardless of
the years Of their issue or whether they
are for services in the year they are pre-
sented or for some other year. Receiv.
Jig warrants for taxes is equivalent to
paying them, and that too in advance
Of registered warrants which ought to
be paid in the order Of registry.

They VIII Serve the New State of Utah
As Senators.
SALT LAKE, Jan. 16.-Frank J. Can
non and Arthur Brown were nominated
for the United States senate by the Re.
publican caucus. AS the Legislature is
strongly Republican this is equivalent
to election.
The call for the meeting was signed
by a number of members with the I'M
derstanding that the action taken on
the senatorial question should not be
binding. However, when they settled
down to business, it was decided that
the action of the caucus should be
binding. 1t was also decided that a
secret ballot should be taken for both
senators. The rules were afterwards
suspended and Frank J. Cannon was
nominated by reclamation. Twenty.
two votes were necessary to nominate.
On the second ballot Arthur Brown re-
ceived "a votes and G. w. Bennett 10.

Adopted by the Minnesota
Alliance.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 16.-In the con-
v~ention of the Minnesota Farmers
Alliance, the discussion of the propo-
sition implied in farmers elevators"
was taken up. Frank Hoskins wanted
the farmers not only to build elevators,
but to 60 into the grain exporting bust
ness. L. S. Long of N obles county, the
state lecturer of the Alliance, told Of
his efforts to organize the Alliance ele-
vator companies and the splendid serv-
ice they had been wherever they were
tried. He proposed that the Alliance
should erect a great terminal elevator in
Duluth or Superior. to which all the
Alliance elevators should ship their
wheat.
The Resolutions Adopted.
The committee on resolutions pre-
sented a lengthy report, a part Of which
follows:
Whereas, There is at present prac-
ticed great injustice on the farmers Of
the state by the elevator and transpor-
tation companies, both at primary and
central markets,
Resolved, That this Alliance now
take active measures to handle grain,
both at home and central markets, and
that steps be taken through the State
Alliance officers to unite the whole
grain growing interests of the state in
this move.
An whereas, The rural schools Of the
state are today suffering from lack of
state aid, support at the expense of the
higher institutions of learning.
Resolved, That we demand this policy
be reversed and that the common
schools be accorded the state attention
and support they are justly entitled to.
The matter of election of officers
came next. On motion the old officers
were reelected as follows: J. L. Yer
milya of Dover, president; A. H. Hen
erickson of Sank Center, secretary; r.
NJ. Probsttield of Moorhead, treasurer;

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The following
statement has been issued from the
headquarters of the national Armenian
relief committee:
The reported intention of the Turkish
government to refuse the American
Red Cross society permission to enter

menian relief committee and ITS
branches throughout the country to re-
lax their efforts for an instant in rails
Ing funds to save the $50, 600 Armenians
who are perishing from starvation and
exposure.
The national committee is the au-
thorized agent throughout the country

it enters the field, but, in case the Red
Cross is excluded, the national commit

as possible reach the sufferers for whom
they are intended.

Utah Republicans Nominate FL
Cameron and Arthur Brown
Senators.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.-Conventions
were held by the Republicans in the
five congressional distaicts in this city,
at each Of which two delegates and two
a%lternates to the national convention at
st. Louis were chosen.
OF the ten delegates, four are chosen
on administration, or Quay tickets,
the other six are announced as "com-
bine" delegates. In the third district

ton and held a separate meeting, elect
ing State Senator Elwood Becker and
Henry Clay as delegates. The boilers
claim to have a majority of the regu-
larly elected delegates to the conven-
ton with them including the regular
chairman.

settled in court.
In the First and Fifth districts a
resolution was unanimously adopted in
structing the delegates to vote for
Thomas B. Reed for president.
Mr.. Martin, who is a delegate to the
national convention, said in answer to

Insurance Retaliation ON Germany.

New York Feb. 3.ZThe resolution calling
on the president for all correspondence
between the United States and Germany
regarding the exclusion of American life
insurance companies from Germany, which
has just been passed by the house. is said
TO be a move toward a policy OF retalia-
ton against Germany. The author OF the
resolution, Representative George y.
southwick, OF Albany, n. y, gives the
folio wing explanation OF its purpose:
president Cleveland IN his last annual
message 10 congress called attention TO
the policy of retaliation which was be-
ing practiced In Germany against American
life insurance companies as well as Amer
lean cattle and cereals, and also suggest
ed retaliation on the part of the United
States IL no recourse could be devised. In
the New York senate and assembly
measure has been introduced
which provides that all foreign insurance
companies shall be denied any and every
privilege IN the transaction of business
within the state which Is not accorded 10
American companies In the home states
OF these corporations. The German policy
OF retaliation against American life insur-
ance companies has thus far been con-
fined 70 Prussia. Until recently four OF the
big New York companies had been trans
acting business ia that portion of the Ger
man empire. Only one stin continues.
Gov. Morton and Insurance Superintend-
eat Pierce. Of New York, have written 10
Secretary Olney IN reference TO the retala-
tion practiced against American insurance
interests in Prussia. The Massachusetts
commissioner OF insurance has also sent
an emphatic note OF protest 10 secretary
Oiney against the harsh policy adopted by
the Prussian minister. The state depart
nent instructed Ambassador Runyon 10
