leading candidates remains to be seen.
1t would not take very much exertion
on the part Of some Of the candidates
to place their favorites strictly in the
race and the prizes are certainly worth
great big effort If the desirable
trip down the lakes are not within
reach, the bicycles are, and it is nice
thing to secure high-grade wheel for
a little exertion in securing bundle Of
coupons for. The four bicycles given
away represent more than, double the
value of any prizes heretofore given in
voting contests here. There should be
a grand scramble for them. There are
still four more days and in that time
an active canvass for coupons would
place nearly every one in the contest

Schuneman & Evans received the high

Great Northern, among the men, had
the highest number placed to his credit.

1T OFTEN HAPPENS.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Every copy of the New York Sun bears on
it's title page the legend eff you see it in
the Sun, it's so.''
In it's issue of Aug. 1 is an article on our
railroad mileage, which contains the follow
ing paragraph:
of the same size, and the little difference
which exists between them is in favor of
Utah; but Minnesota has only 1,S00 miles of
railroad, while Utah has 5000"
The report of the railroad and warehouse
commission of Minnesota for the year ending
June go 1896, shows that the railroad mile
ags of the state was then 1891 miles
The railroad mileage of Utah for the same
year was 1.404.
Moral: IF you see it in the Sun, it is not
so-sometimes." observer
A careful reader of the New York
Sun, however much he may admire it
in some respects and object to it in
others, has frequent occasion to con-
TESS the inaccuracy of the legend quot
ed by our correspondent: eff you see
it in the Sun it's So" The Sun is usual
ly accurate, but it's violent animosities
and the strain of personal vindictive-
ness that runs through nearly all its
comments upon men and policies are not
=
the truth. In matters of fact, however.
it is less human, and, therefore, less
liable to err. The blunder in the in
stance pointed out by our correspond
ent is peculiarly objectionable one
The letter which we publish above
is accompanied by the original clipping
from the Sun, which is not, from it's
form, an extract from any exchange
that might escape the vigilance of a
careful editor, but bears the mark Of
original matter prepared in the Suns
office. There is also attached an ex-
tract from the report of the railroad
and warehouse commission of Mime
sofa for the year 1896. showing railroad

telpret it. Mr.. Markham says: ~
think the question as to how far each
officer of the city government win
allow the representatives of these legal
to a considerable extent, rest in the
sound discretion of such officer"
This says either altogether too much
or altogether too little. 1t does not
answer directly the question asked by
the conference committee, which did
not mention illegal bureaus at all,
but made the general inquiry as TO
how far an examination of the books
might be refused where it is intend
ed to establish claims against the
city" Mr.. Markham's reply is limited
in application to legal bureaus" only.
We see no need for such limitation,
and no need for any limitation upon
the right of the public to examine
their own documents. If claims
against the city are valid, they ought
to be paid. If anybody is interested,
either personally or pecuniarily, In
looking them up, he should have the
right to do so. If he discovers those
that are not valid, either because they
come under the statute of limitations
or for any other reason, they ought
not to be paid. But to abridge the
tight of investigation is a precedent
full of danger and a principle that IS
can mention at least one Office in the
city hall where to give the incumbent
even the slightest or most doubtful
encouragement to exclude the public
is to insure that that public will be
shut out altogether, with such addi-
tional circumstances of insult as In
genuity may be able to devise.
1t is possible to point to recent de-
velopments in the conduct of at least
one city office where publicity has
been shown to be both necessary and
desirable. It is not right that any
citizen should be compelled to resort
to the courts and obtain a writ in
order to win access to accounts in
which he may be an interested party,
and concerning which he cannot OBJ
tain information anywhere else. This
will be the consequence if the DISPOSE
ton to take this course is seconded by
legal encouragement. The slightest
leaning toward a policy of public ex-
clusion from absolutely free and I'M
limited access to the public records
is full of danger.

So Mr.. Block looked at Gov. Rice,
but the Willmar man never betrayed
any unbelief at all.
Col. Graves assured the party that as
far as Duluth was concerned, it was
ready and anxious to support the choice
of the Republican convention, whoever
he might be. Mr. Weaver's modesty,
he was sure, took one good man out of
the field open to the Republican party
(Mr Block wondered If the Duluth
colonel was kidding), but there were
other good men around that festive
board. 1t could not be charged that
Gov. Clough was too old, and then there
was his friend. Rice, from Willmar.
Duluth had no candidate, but he did
not doubt that In city of 10000 peo-
pie at the head of the lake, could be

weight, but Gov. Rice refrained from

That He Has Been Removed.
WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-Ex-Congressman
Oar Hall, who succeeds Maj. Baldwin as Chip
moved. Mr.. Hall said today: L do not know
today. His commission will date back from
Aug. 1, and he will leave here early next
week. Maj. Baldwin paid no attention to let
tiers from the department asking for his
resignation, but keeps right making
acquisitions, though he had not been
moved. Mr.. Hall said today: 81 do not know
what Baldwin means but do not anticipate
any trouble -
To the Editor of the Globe.
The above from the st. Paul Dispatch-the

most of the Dispatches Washington
reports, that deem it due to the public that
1 make a brief explanation. The ST. Paul Dis
patch has had me removed so many times
during the past six months (the wish being
father to the thought that l might reasonably
believe them wrong in the above as they
have been so many times IN the past. How
ever, l am willing to concede that the Dis
patch is right for once. only they are badly
mixed as to the manner of my taking off,
dent July 90 Immediately on receipt of this
request 1 replied at length declining to tender
my resignation. The order for my removal,
if made has not reached me up to this
date-Aug. 8. Surely Oar S. Hall-he of six
months service in a drafted regiment in
the state of Illinois-would not ask an old
soldier of the Iron brigade-four years ser
vice-to desert his pest on mere rumor Of
his discharge? Why, Hail. had you served
longer in the army, and anywhere within
the enemy's lines, you would know that the
penalty for such an act was death. NO, my
dear sir; I shall remain at my post until
you come to relieve me. Now you know what
Baldwin means" and there won't be any
trouble. 1 don't believe the Indians will harm
