because he accepted the Sixteenth one
dogma, but because he thought that a
minor question beside those actually
involved. There were thousands of such
men who believed that the real ques-
ton was whether free government was
place. Without following Mr.. Larrabee
through the train Of argument by
which he reaches his conclusion of
what is the sole function of govern
ment- relating to money, it suff1ces to
state it as denying to government any
such functions whatever, any more
than it has with the production Of
grains or meats or clothing. If, for gen
eral convenience, it performs the duty
of putting metals into handy shape, it
has no right to assume to establish
their ratios or power to give the
coins value If the book has a politt-
cal purpose, we think it may be found
in the suggestion that IAN excellent
opportunity exists for a compromise
upon exactly the right thing-the pass
age of a law providing for the free
coinage of silver without attempting
to establish any ratio of values by
statute, the silver dollar to be the same
as the old standard dollars" With the
addition of a repeal of all the tender
acts. the suggestion is one on which the
divided party could readily unite.

AGAIN THE DOG IN THE MANGER.

AGAIN THE DOG IN THE MANGER.
1t Is vastly AMUSING, to see how sud
denly the Minneapolis papers. particu-
larly the Journal. have discovered that
the state Of Minnesota does not need a
fourth hospital for the insane at all.
1t needed it tremendously two, years
ago, when the bill authorizing the selec-
ton Of site was before the legislature.
1t needed it still more when Minneap-
oils representatives on the commission
and Minneapolis influences behind it
brought about the change of site over
which all this controversy has since
arisen. 1t has needed 1t right along
through the present legislative session
while the Misunderstanding contest was
before the two houses. There was new
er whisper as long as that fight was
undecided, or while it seemed probable
that Anoka would win, to the effect
that the asylum itself would be any
thing else than a dire necessity. Now
that Hastings has virtually won, the
Minneapolis newspapers begin to favor
us with long dispositions on the SUI
perfiuous provision made by Minnesota
for the care of the insane. We are told
that patients could be provided for in
existing hospitals just as we'll as not,
and that the proposed expense should
be cut off,
We should think that even local feel
| ing could hardly stimulate a newspa-
per to such shameless qualification as
this 1t is a pure case of the old dog
in the manger disposition. 1t does not
even touch directly these Minneapolis
newspapers. Not. because their own
city is to lose anything. but because
the city which they favored has lost in
a fight where 1t certainly had every
advantage on it's side, except that of
being right, they are filled with the
determination to prevent the possible
gain that might accrue to some other
city. We do not propose to discuss
now the issue of the desirability of a
fourth hospital That ground was gone
over thoroughly and convincingly more
than two years ago, and the people
were satisfied. We do wish to let the
public have a glimpse of the policy that
prevails, at least in some newspaper
offices, in our sister city.

PEPPER AND SUGAR.

Mr.. Dingley has prepared his COM
pound of treacle and pepper with which
to catch trade. and labels it Dingley's
Patent Reciprocity. He feels as proud
of it as youngster with his first boots,
and is as confident of its virtue as ever
was the proprietor of a patent medi-
cine in the universal curative properties
of his panacea. With it in his pocket
Mr.. Secretary Of State can go over
on Plenipotentiary Row and begin to
chatter with the plenipos and make
diclzers with the confidence of the
hunter who made his trap so cunningly
as to catch the game whether it was
going or coming. To those grand
seigniors whose country people prefer
sweets Mr.. Secretary will have the
sugar of tariff reduction to use as
trading stock. while with those whose
people arc already sated with sacchar-

ines he will have his box of pepper to
make them smart if they refuse to
come down. 1t is great scheme, and
it was great head or congerie of great
heads that concocted it. Fortunately
for Mr.. Blaine's peace of mind he has
not lived to see his original patent so
improved upon.
One can imagine our senescent secre-
tary calling upon NJ. Patenotre and
saying in the purest Ohio French:
Mister Ambassador, your government
has been making it's people pay more
for their meats than they should, and
mine is making it's people pay more
for their silks and satins and cham
pagnes than they need to. Now, if
your folks will only give your people
cheaper meats by taking down the tax
on our exports. we will agree to let our
people have their silks and wines
cheaper than they are getting them"
And to Herr Max Won Thielmann he
will propose, in Pennsylvania Dutch,
lining that our pork is infested with
trichinae and let our bacon and hams
and sausages into his empire to feed
his hungry people, we will knock off
part of our tax on his sugar and cut
down the tariff on apollinaris 20 cents
a gallon. AS both of these representa-
tives belong to the same school of
Aaron as does our premier, it is posi-
BILE that they may consent to submit
the proposition to their respective gov
ernments, who will at once hear from
their agrarians, who have decided opin-
ions about the necessity of protecting
their pig pens from the infectious pau
per pigs Of America
But when he meets Senior Salvador
da Mendonca. of Brazil, and Senior
Don Jose Marcelino Hurtado, of Colom-
bia. or Senior Jose Andrade, of Vene-
zuela, Mr.. Secretary will pull his pep
per box out Of his other capacious
pocket and, mastering up all the Span
ish at his command, will say: Look
here, you fellows, your folks are slap
ping on a tariff on our stuff that is
too ALFRED steep, and if you don't
shave it down right smart, we will
clap a tax of Is mills on your asses
skins and make you pay cents on
every blessed pound of coffee you send
us and a cent and half on your old
hides, and then where in blazes will
you be at?" Possibly this may not work
as we'll as the sugar plan. Perhaps
Senior Hurtado may tell him that his
country got along very comfortably
five years ago without such reciprocity
and if Mr.. Secretary wants to make
his people pay more for their coffee
and boots and shoes, that is his and
their own concern, and none Of that
of the good people of Colombia, who
must insist upon managing their own
affairs in their own way. But, however
the chickering's may come out, it will
be an inspiring sight to see our secre-
tary haggling with the foreign ambas-
sailors and ministers for reduction in
the tariffs of their countries while we
are elevating our own upon the theory
that it is the foreigner and not our
selves who pays the tax.

well its various duties. there is, in that
single fact the strongest and best of
reasons for either retaining him, or, if
displaced under the rules of practical
politics, for returning him at the first
opportunity. Ii he conducted his office on
the orthodox theory that it was created
to serve the party primarily. and sec
ondarily the public, then the single fact
should be sufficient to bar his, re-entry.
OF course this views the whole matter
from the standpoint of the supremacy
of the public in the conduct, Of its Of

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Amended Bill Placed Before the
Senate.

Senator Peterson introduced a sub
stitute for his good roads bill. The
substitute reduces the amount that
may be expended by the state highway
commission during the next two years
for engineers services, etc, from 81, 900
to 81. 500, and instead of a standing an
nual appropriation, it provides that no
state funds shall be expended in the
construction of roads except such as
may be appropriated from session to
session by the legislature.
The state is to bear one-third of the
cost of construction Of roads, and the
aggregate amount of contracts let for
the year shall not exceed three times
the amount appropriated by the legis-
lature. The amount that may be APP
propriated by the commissioners Of
any county for both construction and
repairs in any year is limited tc one
and one-half per cent Of the county's
assessed valuation.

GAVE TT A CHANCE.
County Option Bill Gets Placed on
General Orders.

The report from the temperance COM
mittee on the county option bill, which
recommended indefinite pOstponement,
met with some opposition in the house
yesterday. Mr.. Jacobson opposed the
committee report, saying that the
large number of temperance people in
favor Of this measure were entitled to
a respectful hearing, and that the mat
ter should not be confined to the con-
siGeration of a committee, but should
be heard and discussed before the COM
mittee Of the whole house. He pointed
out that there were in a number Of
counties, which were overwhelmingly
in favor of no license, one or two small
villages which were made up Of people
who were unworthy of self-goVern-
ment, and they were an offense to the
best portion of the county But under
the present license system there was
no way Of correcting the abuse He
reminded the house that it was ten
years since the present high license
system had been adopted, and, while
some people seemed to think that it
was as nearly perfect as any law could
be, he wished to suggest that the high
license law was responsible for some
Of the present abuses. Besides there
were other systems of controlling the
use Of intoxicating liquors which were
much better There was no denying
that the liquor traffic was a great evil,
and he insisted that the people who
were interested in the proposed reform
were the best class of people in the
state; they were the mothers and faith
ers-50000 to $4,000 Of them-who had
signed these petitions and they should
be heard. He moved that the bill be
placed on general orders.
Mr.. Feig also spoke in favor of plac-
ing the bill on general orders, although
he said he was not ready tc commit
himself to voting for the bill
Mr.. FCss also spoke in favor Of put
ting the bill on general orders. No
opposition speeches were made and
when the matter came to a vote there
were As in favor of putting the bill on
general orders and 40 against.

OPERATION OF BANKS.
Special Committees Report Is Ex-
pected Very shortly.

The special committee from the house
and senate to investigate the insolvent
banking institutions in the state and
the causes which led to their failure,
has nearly completed it's labors and
will make report early next week
Several meetings have been held, bank
officials of both solvent and defunct
banks, receivers, assignees and bank
employees have appeared and been
questioned as to the probable causes
which led to the downfall of the de-
funct banks. Facts and figures have
been secured, records examined and
the views of the bank officials COM
pared with those of the receivers 1t
is probable that the committee will
send up a bill believed to cure laws
and conditions which have made these
financial disasters possible. The re-
port will probably be quite full and is
sure to be interesting.
