Mr.. HUNTER GETS AN OPINION
CONSULTS ATTORNEY GENERAL
CHILDS ABOUT TT.
SAMMY WILL HAVE TO RESIGN,
Or Else Sacrifice His Legislative
mbfticn-Gossip From State
Capitol Corridors.

Attorney General Childs yesterday
ruled on a question which may affect,
to a considerable extent, the political
miX-ups Of the coming campaign. 1t
is in line with the recent decisions Of
the supreme court in the case of ex-
Boiler Inspector Sutton, but is wider
and more far-reaching. The opinion
was called out by Park Commissioner
Samuel Hunter, of Minneapolis who
is a conspicuous candidate for one Of
the Republican nominations for the
larger house Of the state legislature
from the Thirty-second district. That
is, he Is practically conceded the nom
nation as the representative of the
Sixth ward on the ticket in that dis
trict. and as the park board is not
salaried position, the legislative place
has charms for Mr.. Hunter which he
is 10th to give up. 1t was to ascertain
whether his park board affiliations
would interfere with his legislative
candidacy that he called on the attor-
ney general yesterday. MIR Childs
informed Mr.. Hunter that he could not
see how he could run for the legis-
lature during the term of his park
commisionership, and as that does not
expire until 1901, it looks as though
MIR. Hunter will have either to with
draw from the legislative canvass or
resign his position on the park board.
Carried to its full length, Mr.. Childs'
opinion involves the practical elimina-
ton from the legislative canvasses Of
the coming campaign any person who
holds any municipal, county. or state
position from dog catcher to notary
public.

days Of struggle and poverty, when
this same argument might have been
applied to prevent the great prosperity
that has followed growth OF population
and the extension and diversification of
farm industry.
With the increase Of population, too,
comes the growth Of cities and towns,
creating a larger demand. With it
comes the opening Of the markets, and
the reduction of the cost Of necessaries
Of life that follows their consumption
in larger quantities. With 1t comes the
enhancement of farm values. The land
that. In a partially settled community,
may be worth only from $40 to $40 an
acre rises to $50 or SIS when popula-
ton grows denser and the land supply
is limited. These are but few Of the
advantages which the farmers them
selves have to expect from increased
immigration. 1t is, in fact, though de-
sirable for every part Of the commun-
ity and for all interests within it, most
beneficial of all to the farmer. Instead
Of danger, he should find it full of
promise. Most farmers already under
stand this, and are extending stout
hand to help along the good work that
the immigration movement has begun
and is carrying forward with such en-
couraging success.

grip when another convention Is called
assemblage Of the party.
The point which we wish to empha-
size is that this policy is autocratic
and revolutionary, and calculated TO
produce certain division Of forces.
1t would be the same if it were the
tariff question or any other question
that were at issue instead of free COIN
age. The members of the Democratic
party have right to the free and un-
trammeled expression of their opinion
in separate conventions, each dealing
with the subject matter proper to 1t
alone. That business so i'm
portant as the choosing Of dele
gates to the national convention
should be handed over to body not
called expressly for that purpose, is not
only contrary to party usage, but it is
sharp political game, subversive of
fair dealing and party liberty. For that
reason, this movement, which has OBJ
tanned such Roadway in the South, is an
invitation to party division which
would render Democratic defeat alb
solutely certain; not only in this cleo
ton, but for many years to come. Dem
ocrats who have not lost their love for
the party in an ambition to serve the
ends Of certain members of it should
take heed before it is too late.

1T is YERXA,S SCHEME.
III. A. Campbe1I's Proposition Cover
Department Store.

The proposition received by the as
sembly Thursday night from III A
Campbell, agent relative to the mar
ket house, caused considerable COM
ment about the city hall yesterday.
The proposition in brief is this: H A
Cembell, as agent, Offered to lease the
market house for a term of twenty-five
years and pay the city S25O, 900 therefor.
in quarterly installments. Mr.. Camp
bell also stated in his communication
that the party he represented would
agree to expend $4,000 on the prop
erty, and at the end of the twenty-five
years all Of the Improvements were
to revert to the city
The question at the end of every
bcdy's tongue was, "Who is the par
ty' represented by H. A. Campbell,
agent?'" None of the city officials
seemed to know. but it was learned from
another source that Mr.. Campbell Is
acting as the agent for Yerxa Brothers.
1t is understood that this firm desires
the lease for the purpose of erecting a
large store upon the property, either a
grocery or department store.
The details of this proposition will
doubtless be made known at the spe-
cial meeting of the assembly commit
tee on public buildings, to be held at
o'clock this afternoon for the purpose
of considering all the propositions Of
fering to take the market house off the

NO DANGER IN 1T.

The large attendance, many and
thoughtful addresses delivered, and
general public interest manifested in
the meeting yesterday at Princeton
show how strongly the movement to in
crease and encourage immigration into
the Northwest has taken hold of our
people. 1t is recognized on all sides as
a sure way to increase our prosperity
as we'll as to add to population. One
point, in particular, needs to be made
especially emphatic, because it has
been subject of much misconception.
A few farmers argue that their inter-
ests are rather against immigration
than for it. They have been told that
a larger settlement and an increased
area opened to cultivation, resulting in
the growth of greater crops, can end
only in a further depression. through
more strenuous competition, Of the
present low price of agricultural prod
ucts. There are too many in the bust
ness already, they cry. Do not seek
to bring in more.
This is an error due to a superficial
view of the subject, as was pointed out
by Mr.. Hill yesterday in his speech to
the convention. If the price of Mime
sofa wheat and other farm produce
were fixed in Minnesota, and governed
by the amount that Minnesota sends
to market, then the argument would
have some fore in it. But those prices
are determined by the relation Of the
worlds supply tC the worlds demand,
and are made in markets across the
ocean. Such an addition as might re-
suit from a larger immigration, mean
ing only the transfer of producers from
less to more favorable conditions,
would not be felt by the market, any
more than the pouring of a pail Of
water into a lake raises its measured
level On the other hand, the rule that
wealth and comfort and general pros
perity increase. in every agricultural
community, with the increase of popu-
lation, is uniform. It's operation ap-
pears il all the older states, and is
notable in the earlier settled portion
of our own. He would be bold man
who should contend that the condition
OF Southern Minnesota today is not i'm
r.easurabiy superior to that Of it's early

COSTLY POOLING,

We have several times commented
and import Of gold at the same mo-
ment, which is made necessary or prof
liable, as the case may be, solely by
the existence of the greenbacks and
and their ISLE The point has been
practically illustrated in an effective
way. When the steamer ST. Paul ran
ashore on the Jersey coast, she had
in her hold s1,3OO,OOO in gold. This
gold was taken out and returned to the
subtreasury at New York, where 1t was
found, upon examination, to be the
Identical metal that had been taken out
of that same subtreasury for export a
short time before. It had been sent
to Europe and shipped back again i'm
mediately. bearing all the costs Of
freight and insurance and dangers Of
loss by shipwreck, as a part Of the
game Of hide and seek by which bond
subscribers attempt to cover their
tracks. The plain fact, as all sensible
people know, is that the subscription
to the new loan, like all that has preceded
it, is paid ultimately, except an incon-
siderable fraction, with gold with
drawn from the treasury itself The
gold reserve is drawn out either 1i-
rectly or Indirectly to pay for bonds,
and restored when the bonds are paid
for.
This circumlocutory process will con-
tinue as long as the greenbacks re-
main outstanding, the only tangible
result Of it being periodical addition
to the volume of our bonded debt. The
! discovery of the facts relating to the
gold shipped in the st. Paul is only
evidence of what we have repeatedly
stated to be the case. Subscribers to
the bond loan abroad have had their
agents draw this gold from the treas
ury and ship it to Europe, and then
return it to this country as part pay
ment Of their share of the loan sub
scription. 1t was so in the case of the
syndicate agreed to furnish half the
gold for their bonds from abroad, and
also to use all efforts to keep the
rate Of exchange at such a figure as
would prevent exports. Although they
carried out their contract to the best
Of their ability, there is no question
that practically the whole purchase
price was taken from the treasury
vaults. Sooner or later, with the ship
ment and transshipment and the
swapping of credits against each other,
the reserve is made to keep itslf
alive. This is the price we pay for
keeping the greenbacks outstanding
1t is a rather costly operation even for
this rich country; but a necessary
item in that large bill for tuition which
all people must pay who ignore we'll
established natural laws, and remain
year after year backward pupils in
that proverbially expensive educational
institution over which experience pre-
sides.

FROM THE ELEVATOR SIDE.

The elevator men have their organ
to put out their side of the case. 1t is
a Chicago publication, called the Grain
and Elevator Trade. 1t is SO far away
from Northern Minnesota and Dakota,
or want Of it's knowledge of locations
there is so dense that it jurnbles up
facts and incidents and places But
when it comes to the statement of the
elevators side of the case it becomes
clear and positive. 1t quotes from the
Lakota Herald, which it locates in
Minnesota, part Of "a scorchirg edito-
rial on the elevator system" as worked
at Warren, Argyle and Lakota, and
from the Farmers Tribune an account
OF what the business men Of Lakota
purpose doing to relieve themselves and
their customers from the octopus"
AT Lakota the elevators met the COM
petition Of the business men by putting
in stores and underselling the local
merchants. Commenting on this the
trade organ of the elevators says:
1t seems that the merchants Of this country
town were not satisfied with a fair profit on
the goods sold to the farmers; so, in order to
divert attention from their exactions, they
raised terrible howl against the elevator
men and their and two-cent profit on
grain. In order to prove the sincerity of
their claims that the elevator men were making
q large profit, they organized association
and put buyer in the market to force the
elevator men to pay more than grain was
worth in order to get any of 1t. The grain
men naturally retalated by starting general
store and underselling the storekeepers.
ia
the merchants with a vengeance What
cunning set of fellows those country
merchants are, to be sure, when looked
at from the elevators side A rapacious
set they are too, not content with max
ing profits on their own wares,
but, casting greedy eyes on the
pitiful profits of the public spir-
tied men who run elevators for
almost nothing for the convenience
Of the farmers, they reach out their
avaricious fingers to grab even the
zone or two cents" that the elevator
men make for handling grain. A worm
will turn when trod on, and an elevator
man is quite as spunky as worm;
and, so, out of their little profits, they
start general stores and undersell the
merchants We do not recall any re-
cent instance of such self-sacrifice,
and we are heartily glad that the ele-
vator men have at their command
the services Of a paper or journal or
organ, or by whatever name they may
call it, that takes off the bushel that
hid the light Of their candle and lets
the world know, what it never sus-
pected, and, but for this organ, would
never have known, what a noble. un-
selfish set of men run these elevators
and help the farmers of the Northwest
to market their grain. AS our farmer
and merchant readers up in the wheat
belt read this defense Of the elevators,
we hope they will preserve a becoming
gravity and refrain from either smil-
ing or tipping each other the wink.

A Pair of BIunders Corrected.

careless proofreader yesterday made
James j. Hill, in his talk to the G O be on
the success Of the bond issue, say precisely
the opposite of what he really said. In the
talk, as it appeared in the G 0 b e. Mr. Hill
was made to say: IF men who profess to be
the friends of silver would insist on destroy
ing the only hope that silver has, through
maintaining it on parity with gold. matters
would soon right themselves" Mr.. Hill really
said: ''If men who profess to be the friends
of silver would not insist etc" In another
place Mr.. Hill is made to say:
1T would I think. have been very fortu-
nate could the administration have foreseen
the success of this loan. and have made the
amount 800 00O and in that way put at
rest the notion that few men on account of
their positions can, for the time being. de-
stroy or sadly impair the business Of the
whole nation
MIR. Hill said something quite different as
follows:
at would, 1 think. have been very fOrtu-
nate could the administration have foreseen
the success of this loan, and have made the
amount $500, 900, 900 in place of 500, 900, 900,

CANNOT ESCAPE 1T.

The Mankato Free Press labors hard
completely in the silver movement. The
strength in it's party is only what Han
cock called local issue, confined to
the so-called silver states; while, it
says, the Democracy is impregnated
with it in every section. 1.-THE claim of
the G o b e that there is not much
to choose between the parties is not
we'll taken.'' i. concludes. cit will
where large majority of the opposi-
ton to silver monometallism in that
body comes from the Republicans,
though ably assisted by several leading
Democrats" Even the Republican SEN
ators, it naively remarks, who voted
for free coinage are in accord with their
party on all other questions. 1t might
have added that they are the only
orthodox senators Of their party who
insist on the same degree of protec-
ton being given to silver that the 9TH
ers gave and would again give to
glass, Steel woolens and other prod
ucts.
But an analysis of the vote does not
sustain the Free Press. Counting Irby
as a Democrat, twenty Democrats voted
for the bill. Adding Blackburn, Cor
don and Morgan paired, the number
is twenty-three. Seventeen Republicans
voted aye. Adding Hansbrough, VOL
| colt and Dubois, paired, for it, the
number is twenty. This accepts the
classification Of Jones, of Nevada, and
| Stewart as Populists; but as they are,

their former party on all other matters"
| it would not be unfair to class them
| with the Republicans voting for the
bill, which would make their number
twenty-five Dropping Irby among the
Populists, where he really belongs, this
| leaves the Democrats and Republicans
equal in numbers in support of the

added Cullom, Aldrich and Sewell.

NOT OUT OF THE WOODS.
Section "a Still "a Puzzle to Pot
Hunters.


The recent decision Of the supreme
court in the Keith case, to the effect
that the commission had no right to
prosecute violators of game laws of
other states, has been taken advantage
Of by illicit killers of'wild meat, who
now invariably maintain that such
meat found in their possession was
killed in North Dakota Or in Wiscon-
sin. The commission is still Selling this
game, however, relying, according to
Executive Agent Fullerton, on section
"a of the game laws, which provides
that the possession, or having under
control, of any bird. animal or fish of
any of the kinds, the kill
ing of which is herein pro-
hibited, shall be prina facie evil
dence that it was the property of the
state at the time it WAS caught, taken
or killed, and that 1t was caught, talk
en- or killed in this state, to disprove
which it shall be necessary to show by
the testimony of the party who actu-
ally caught, took or killed the same,
that at that time it was not the proper
ty of his state, or that it was caught,
taken or killed outside the state"
This throws the burden Of proof df-
rectly upon the owner, carrier, or GUS
todian of the game, and releases the
commission from having prove the
illegality of the killing.
