will feel that, if, as the syllabus of the
majority held, it is in the discretion
of that court, it's sound discretion" to
permit a private person to bring quo
warranto in a case like this, then that
discretion could never be more soundly
used than in upholding in all it's integ-
rity the plain provisions Of the consti-
tuition, and that it is very unsoundly
used when exercised virtually to incor-
porate into wise provision a word not
found there. They will agree, as they
read over the words in which the
judges justify their decision as an act
of wise discretion, that Justice CAVITY is
justified in applying to them the COM
ment that there is too much temper
izing and doubling" The syllabus
reads as if the majority realized that

in imminent danger of breaking

regard it as unfortunate that he court

GERMANS LOGIC CONSISTENT.

There is a consistency in the appli-
cation of the logic of German policy
and frankness in avowing it that we
commend to our Republican friends.
Germany follows it's logic to it's re-
hottest consequences. Where a tariff
will not afford protection she gives it
in bounties. Believing, with our Re
publicans, that a function of govern
ment is to increase the market price of
the products Of her people, she sus-
tains ali private efforts in that direc-
ton and suppresses those having the
contrary tendency. Accepting the prop
osition that speculation in futures has
tendency to reduce the price of prod
uce she forthwith prohibits such spec
ulation.
decision of the supreme court Of
the empire is in point 1t emphasizes
the contrast between German consis-
tency and Republican inconsistency A
suit was brought which involved the
legality Of a trust. The court had no
hesitancy in not only holding the trust
legal, but sustaining it as in line with
the policy Of the empire. It says that
it is not to the interest of the public
that inadequately low prices should
prevail in any branch Of business; that
this is the imperial policy it shows by
the protective duties laid for the ex-
press purpose of bringing about higher
prices for the articles protected. From
this premise it draws the perfectly log
ical conclusion that the legitimacy Of
this policy Of the legislature legitima-
tizes acts of private enterprise having
the same laudable object in view.
Therefore, any combination of manu-
facturers or others, having for it's pur-
pose the checking of tendencies to
prices deemed by them inadequate and
ruinous, is as much in the interest Of
the community as are the acts Of the
Legislature for the same end.
This puts in strong contrast the
inconsistency of Republican legisla-
ton that aims to create high
prices, prevent low ones, and
on the other hand, penalties pri-
waite efforts having the same purpose.
To erect trade barriers to- enable those
behind them to increase prices and, at
the same time to enact antitrust and
combination laws that will prevent
those thus favored from aiding the
law by their own arrangements, is an
absurdity of inconsistency of which the
German mind is incapable. We COM
mend the German courts decision to
congress.

COMPANY DIS CAMP LIFE.
Wet Weather Spoiled the Photo

The members of Company D, N. G.
S. M. who are camped at Kittson-
dale, had a tough time of it yester-
day. The company will not at
tend the Lake City camp with
the other companies of the
First regiment owing to their visit to
San Antonio, to take part in the com-
petitive drill in that city between July
II and 25 The company is campad on
a rise of ground just west Of the Lex
irgton ball park, sixteen tents shelter
ing the fifty odd members. Drills are
held morning and evening and each
of the members of the company is
required to sleep at the camp in order
to be on hand for the early morning
drill Promptly at a. n. the boys
turn out and after a lunch of coffee
and bareback served in the mess tent
two hours are spent in company drill
At o'clock the members are excused
for the day, but are obliged to report
back at the camp at $50 IN the even
ing. At o'clock the company is
marched to the ball park and drilled
again for an hour or so. Lunch is
served after this for those who want
it and taps are sounded At 3.30 o. M
Yesterday the company was to be
photographed in a group, but at the
hour set for the picture to be took
it was raining SO hard that a post
pOHeUleHl was absolutely necessary. 1t
was also expected that the drill SQUAD
which will compete for the prize at
San Antonio would be selected yeSter-
day afternoon. but this was also post
poned until this evening. The company
or rather forty-five members, will
leave st. Paul in a special car the
evening of July ID, and will arrive in
San Antonio three days later The
drill team will include officers and
forty men and half a dozen other
members will accompany the team as
substitutes. There are eleven COM
panies entered in the contest with
Company d, prominent among them
being the Thurston Rifles, of Omaha
the Belknap Rifles, of San Antonio:
the Morton Cadets, of Washington,
and the Muscatine Rifles, of Musca-
tine, 10.
The first prize is $4,000 in gold ard
a silver cup, the second prize IS ST.
600 in gold and the third $500 in the
yellow metal. The prizes are con-
tributed by the citizens Of San Antonio
and while the members of D are
not making any talk each and every
one from the captain down expects to
return from the Lone Star state with
the first prize. Lieut.. Mccoy, vino is
detailed from the regular army as in
spector of the state militia will camp
with Company d from now until they
leave for Texas.

"PuIls. Do Not Count-

E. V. Smalley, while in WASHINGTON re-
Gently, felt of the civil service system and
to his surprise, found it hard and rigid How
he was disabused of a notion that has per
vaded a good many Republican editors stock
OF notions, he tells in letter to the Chi
cago Ttmes-Herald. He says: | confess to
nave always entertained the idea before
my last visit to Washington that in spite
OF the civil service laws and rules enter
prising senators and members could manage
to get a pull on department appointments A
talk with Commissioner Harlow and an in
spection of the methods of the civil service
commission convinced me that | have been
ignorant of the iron-clad character of the
system. Not even the president himself can
influence the appointment of a clerk in the
classified service. The commission occupies
an old building on f street Just opposite
the postofice department that was for
merly a big beer saloon and music hall The
lower hoor and the vaulted theater room
above are filled with busy people passing upon
examination papers that come in from the
Doaros that sit twice year in every state.
IheSe examiners of the examination papers
handle them all by numbers and have no
knowledge of the names of the persons whose
work they pass upon and give q rating to- Abb
solute impersonality and impartiality appear
to be secured at every stage Of the proceed
ing clear up to the drawing to fill reQuisi-
ton of three names from those highest in
the markings of merit, and these names must
be taken from the states that lowest in
their proportion of places already obtained
in proportion to population. An examination
only holds for year. but the candidate can
keep himself on the list indefinitely by going
annually before a board. There are on the
lists today about 1900 names of men and
women who have successfully passed the
examinations with markings ranging from 70
to 100, and who are available for appoint
ments but it is hardly probable that more
than 200 or 800 of these will ever get an
office. and these will be such candidates as
have secured a very high rating The lot
terry is certainly not tempting one, but the
examination costs nothing, and there is al
ways faint hope of something coming

A CASE OF .DOG EAT DOG. ;,

While Republicans in congress fight
for and against free hides and thus
expose the sordid meanness of their
whole policy of get and grab, their or
gans, the enlightened press Of their
party, with delightful innocence Of in
tent but none the less murderous eff
feet, chew each others theories into
tatters. Thus we have the Mankato
Free Press firing at free-trade Demo-
Gratis behind the old breastworks Of
the laboring man, deprived of his wage
by "the step toward free trade taken
in 1894. 1t says:
The free traders have commenced work
again sending out their illustrations as to
how the workingman is taxed. They repre-
sent him sitting at the table eating his meal
while everything is marked as taxed. Most
Workingmen today would like steady Job
so that they could have a sure income. 1t
is not the taxed meal' that Is worrying
them. 1t is the chance to earn it. Give them
steady work and the taxes the free trader
bowls about will not worry them in the least.
The step toward free trade has been worse
tax upon them than was ever the protective
tariff.
That is, tax everything he consumes
chance to work and earn money to
pay it; take off the taxes and cheaper
his necessaries and you throw him out
Of work. Free traders reply that there
labor has not complained that it was
being crowded out by the immigrants
from foreign countries who came to
sell their labor, beat down the price,
glut the labor market, and against
which competition there was not only
no protection given but to which in
ducements to come were held out.
While the Free Press is thus expos
ing it's flank in firing at the Democrats
the Pioneer Press unwittingly rushes
in on the side and tumbles the Free
Press over in the dust Commenting

Inc earlier developments of the mining in
dustries of the state were wrought by Amer
leans, aided by skilled miners from Great
Britain. But as different companies began
to compete with one another, and later as the
large profits made possible by combination
whetted the greed Of the mine owners for
still more, the then intelligent and skilled
laborers have been gradually displaced by
hordes Of Huns Poles and Italians, who, it
was found, could be hired at much lower
wages by reason Of their lower standards of
living. The population of many entire coun-

methods that made this country sus-

good case of dog eat dog"

AMERICAN WHEELS BEST.
German Makers Alarmed at Their
Popularity in Germany.

NcFHahys
June 27.-Charles De
Kay, United States consul general at
Berlin, in a report to the state DEPART
ment, calls attention to the fact that
German bicycle makers are deeply
concerned at the now very large and
growing competition of American
machines. The League of Industrials
at Bochum, an important manufacturing
center, has taken up the matter and
in a memorial to the German govern
ment calls attention to the fact that
this great industry is in imminent
peril owing to the rivalry of Ameri-
can bicycle manufacturers. They COM
plain that the United States levies a
duty on foreign made wheels of about
SLABS while the German duty being
only S5.H on 100 Kilograms, only
from II to 50 cents duty falls on the
American wheels. On these and other
grounds the aid Of the German gov
eminent is asked in behalf of the
home industry. The consul general in
his report says it is not because the
American wheels are of foreign mako
that they sell so rapidly in Germany.
but because they are the strongest
lightest, soundest and most elegant in
shape. They have quite taken the
field, he says, from Belgian, Austrian
and British wheels. He also expresses
the opinion that large concessions
could be made with safety to the Ger
mans in the way of lower duties on
German made wheels, because the
German public is now so we'll con-
WINGED of the superiority of the Amer
lean wheels that we will continue to
hold the market so long as this high
standard is maintained

ony, IN report to the state depart
ment also calls attention to Tho Of
fort that is being made by Germar
bicycle makers in that province to
secure higher duties on American
wheels: To this end the bund of Ger
man industries have petitioned the

for immediate relief from the threat
ened danger.

consent of Japan or England for the pufe
chase and annexation of Mexican territory?
What is the matter with the Gl ODE?
Farbault, Mimi, June 27, 1897
There is nothing in the world the
matter with, the G ! o b e, but there APP
pears to be a good deal the matter
with Mr.. Cudmore. He gets the cart
before the horses with a vengeance.
The objection to the annexation of Ha-
wall is not because Japan protests, but
because it is wrong, un-American, a
violation OF all our best traditions and
a menace both to our domestic insti
tutions and to our relations with other
spondent are not in point in any par
ticular. We bought Louisiana from it's
rightful owners and paid cash for it.
Is there any proposition to purchase the
Sandwich islands from anybody? The
Louisiana territory was a part of this
continent, and carried with it the con-
troll of the mouth of the Mississippi Its
acquisition was essential to our ma
tional integrity and a part of wise
craftsmanship. What earthly similar
ity is there between this and the seizure
of group of islands 1000 miles distant
from our shores?
Our correspondents history is as
much astray as his diplomacy. Presi-
dent Pierce did not come into office
until long after the Mexican war and
the acquisition of Texas and Califor-
mia. These territories were adjacent to
our own and filled out our boundaries
from ocean to ocean. There is no par
ailel between either of these extensions
Of our territory and the annexation of
Hawaii. Nobody thinks of taking the
objection of Japan in itself as a reason
why We should not gobble the Sand
witch islands, The difficulty is that
this annexation business is abominable
in itself from every point of view, and
Japan's protest is important only as it
voices the sentiments OF right thinking
people in the United States. We are
powerful enough to do as we please,
but no nation ever was or ever will be
powerful enough to do wrong with i'm
punity. That is the situation in a nut
shell.
