TIE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM

IL rs NUT IN vi,
We still light occasionally upon some
mean-souled creature in an edftor-
ial Office who is unable to resist
the temptation to tell some false
hoods about the capitol bill. Fortu-
nately, the number of them is very
small. The Taylors Falls Journal boasts
one of these survivors, who SAYS: The
bill before the legislature asking an ad-
vance of $5G0O0O for the state capitol
imposes an additional tax upon the peo-
pie of 100000 for interest, and yet the
All income are now idle" This con-
tains a fiat Misrepresentation of the
terms of the capitol bill itself. In that
bill it is stated that the certificates of
Indebtedness which it is proposed to
issue are to be paid, principal and in
terest," out of the proceeds of the state.
capitol tax. To say, therefore, that this
bill imposes an additional tax of $780,
600 for interest is inexcusable, if a man
has the slightest regard for the truth.
Not only does the bill cover this
ground; not only does it say explicitly
that interest is to be paid out Of the
original appropriation, but it closes all
controversy by it's concluding section.
which declares that nothing in the act
shall be construed as authorizing any
addition to the limit Of the cost of the
new capitol as set by the original bill.
The commissioners show, and every in
telligent man who has examined the
question understands that, by letting
contracts now and going ahead with
the work, sum considerably in excess
of all interest payments together will
be saved to the state and put into its
new capitol.
1t ought to be understood that this
question is not one which interests st.
Paul any more than 1t does any other
community in Minnesota. The capitol
is located here for all time to come.
The site has been purchased and the
substructure of the building completed.
There is no question in the minds of
any one about doing the balance of
the work, but only a question when.
1t is of the most trif1ing Importance
to us whether the work on this build
ing is continued at the present time.
or whether 1t Is postponed for five
years. Only the wages of the workmen
employed will be spent in this city.
They can be spent just as much to our
advantage in the next century as in
this. 1t is not st. PauIs fight, but a
fight for the best interests of Mime
sofa. 1t is for that reason that the
proposition to save money by antici-
pating the proceeds Of the state cap
itol tax has been received with such
favor by the entire legislature.

REVENUE BILLS.
Special sess on Must Give Them Some
Attention.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The failure Of
President Cleveland to sign three appropria-
ton bills the sundry civil, agricultural and
Indian, and the inability Of congress to agree
upon the general deficiency bill will entail
much unexpected work upon the extra session
Of the new congress- and possibly may delay
the enactment of the new tariff law. The
regular appropriations for government serv-
Ice and public works carried by all of these
bills except the deficiency, for the fiscal
year beginning July l. that to repair the
failure of the bills, it will be necessary that
they be enacted before that time, or that
resolutions be passed continuing for a stated
time, the allowances for the current year.
II is sad today by the Republican house
leaders that they will not, if they can prevent
it. permit any questions of appropriations
which are likely to consume much time take
precedence over the consideration of the tar
if bill.
The failure of the deficiency bill will Grip
pie several branches Of the government serv-
ice unless early provision is made for them,
and It seems the absolute paralysis of the
customs service unless some bill is passed to
provide for its expenses about April 1. Cur
rent appropriations for collecting the customs
VIll be exhausted by April /, and to continue
the work an additional allowance of 81 $50 COO
he amount carried for that purpose in the
deficiency bill, will be necessary.

THAT GEOGRAPHICAL ARGUMENT.

Decidedly the funniest thing about
the fight over the location Of the fourth
hospital for the insane is the solemn
appeal made by the Minneapolis press
to decide this question on geographical
grounds. 1t cares nothing whether the
1ngs. Oh, dear, no. But it is just
paralyzed at the thought that the
southern part of the state should grab
this institution and take it away from
the north; and it urges the south to
be moderate and the north to be ag-
gressive in the interest of Anoka What
comical farce this is, to be sure.
Without entering upon the merits Of
the question at all, which have been
already discussed sufficiently in these
columns, let us call the attention of any
reader to a map Of the state of Mime
sofa and ask him to indulge his humor
by contrasting the position of Hastings
and Anoka as representative of war
ring geographical factions of the
state of Minnesota.
He will find on that map that these
two towns are both in the southern ore
third of the state. They are distant
from each other, north and south as the
crow flies little over thirty miles. The
center of the state on meridian Of
longitude is not far from Brainerd. st.
Paul and Minneapolis, Ano&a and Hast
1ngs are all of them punched within
short distance of each other about mid
way between Brainerd ana he iowa
/ boundary line. Not one OF them has the
slightest claim to represent in anv
particular, the northern section of the
state geographically. To do that you
would have to select some point above
Bra1nerd and Wadena and Brecken-
ridge. The extreme length Of the state
OF Minnesota, north and south, not
counting the small point that projects
eyond the 49th parallel Of latitude.
where 1t strikes the Lake Of the Woods.
is from $40 to $50 miles. Anoka lies
about 240 miles south Of this parallel.
Hastings is, therefore, about 275 miles
south of it. These are the measure
ments on which sober appeal is made to
the people 20 select Anoka in the In
terest of the north, rather than Hast
ings in the interest of the south. What
ever other considerations there may be
IN favor of one or the other Of these
points for the new hospital, We can
scarcely conceive of anything so RI
diculous as for newspaper to spring
the geographical argument as a de-
cisive one between these two neigh
boring towns, both of them lying away
down in southern Minnesota, and to
ask its readers to take it seriously.
