The State Board of Control, at its
last meeting, failed to select a chair
man and the matter was postponed
until some future time. The ballot
stood: Jones, ,; Douthet, /; Will
liams, /; blank, l. Col. Jones, the
present chairman, declining to vote
for himself, cast the blank vote. Col.
Wiley Jones is cashier Of the Caro-
lima National Bank, man OF large
means, and whose name to any buSl-
ness concern is sufficient to give it a
prestige all over the commercial
world. He is not a politician nor
did he seek the chairmanship of tie
board, but he was known to be
friendly to the Dispensary law and
his business ability together with his
unquestionable integrity made him
the unanimous choice of the General
Assembly when he was elected a
member of the board. The board
made him chairman, and under his
administration, the Dispensary has
been managed with scarcely any frlc-
ton, and as business institution
should be. He could have been re-
elected chairman at the last meeting
had he been so disposed, but ne
would not vote for himself. For
some reason two of his colleagues did
not vote for him. Whether these two
voted for each other or each one
voted for himself is not known, but
it is known that Williams and Don-
thet received one vote each and that
neither voted for Jones. We hope
at the next meeting the matter will
be settled and that Colonel Jones will
continue at the head of the State
board.
The Dispensary was taken out Of
politics, as it should have been, and
we sincerely hope those in charge OF
its management will not let it get
back into politics. 1t is a business
institution and should be run on
business principles and not for the
qualification of this or that mans
whims nor for the punishment of this
or that mans political grievance,

The business condition of the coun-
try is improving, says Dun's CONNER
cial reports, but nevertheless, banks
are failing every day, and large mer-
camille establishments are going to
the wall, carrying with them the
smaller concerns. Notwithstanding
this, the commercial agencies con-
tinue painting a rosy business condi-
ton. The tariff agitation in Con-
gress has had the effect to bolster up
the prices on the necessaries of life,
and perhaps, there is where Dun
finds bis improved business condi-
ton II prices go up and the people
have no means to buy, where does
the improvement come iu?

Chief Justice McIver and Associate

look a little as though the twin cities

In fact to one not familiar with the

hard to imagine that there was any
thing to the state outside of st. Paul

question of giving out offices. And
yet the Second district gave Major

both Hennepin and Ramsey counties

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that
Speaker Reed is hard at work making
the final assignments on his commit
tee list, to have it ready to announce
just before the present session adj
journs, and for that purpose is receiv-
ing many visits from members who
are anxious as to places. The speaker
is reported to have said that in max
ing up his committees the watch
word would be ECONOMY" His idea
is to make up his committees so as
not only to check extravaganza appro-
priations, but to reduce wherever
possible the annual appropriations.
The indications are that members
who are interested in appropriations
for new public buildings, river i'm
provements, ETC., will receive little
encouragement so far as the speaker
is concerned. The speakers idea will
meet with the approval of the people.

THE Penny Press, of Minneapolis,
after a precarlous existence of about
three years, wsthin which time 1t lost
a barrel Of money and failed to &C
complish any good, gave up the ghost
Saturday night, and is now no longer
numbered with the living. There
never has been time up to the
present when a paper representing
the creed advocated by the Evening
Press had any good reason for existing
in Minnesota, and it viii be a long
time before state of public opinion
will exist in the northwest to afford a
living to such a paper. The FREE
PRESS is not given to rejoicing over
the misfortunes of anyone, but it can
not refrain from expressing the con-
viction that the demise of the Press
is great relief to the patient and the
removal of a burden from the
shoulders of those who have been
called upon to pay the doctors bills
and watch the struggles of the invalid
from birth to death.

BUSINESS SITUATION IMPROVING.

Henry Clews in his review of the
business situation for the week says:
The general business outlook grows
increasingly hopeful. Many manu-
facturers are already sufficiently sat-
istied with the probable details of
the new tariff to begin operations up
on an extended scale, and in the lar
ger industries the resumption of full
work is becoming comparatively
general. In city mercantile circles
also a marked improvement of tone
begins to appear. 1t comes too late
to materially increase the volume or
the summer business; but it is having
wholesome effect upon the conf
dence and expectations of distrlbu-
tors in respect to the fall trade. The
reports and orders sent by CONNER
cial travellers show such an improve
ment that they are receiving instruc-
tions to prolong their stay in the in
terror; all of which goes to strengthen
mercantile expectations as to the vol
ume of trade during the second half
of the year. Ginning with this i'm
provement, comes the general hope
full character of the government crop
reports, which are even exceeded by
the sanguine tenor Of the advices OF
railroad officials and men of business
on tours of inspection in the west and
the south. Men of business are turn
ing their attention from the still fret
full agitations Of politics, in the con-
viction that two years remain to them
before there can be any absorption or
public attention by tactional agita-
tors, and with the hope that, during
the interval, public opinion will
| froWn down violent issues and sup
port only safe and wholesome policies.
| The revival of business will power
fully contribute towards that ten
dency.

BASIS OF AGREEMENT

The story that comes from London
to the effect that England will CO.
operate with France and this country
in regard to silver, and will open the
Indian minis again and also arrange
for the larger use of silver in England,
is looked upon somewhat suspiciously
by government officials at Washing
ton. While they feel that England
might possibly conclude to reopen
the Indian mints, and might arrange
for larger use of silver at home, no
one believes that she will enter into
any arrangement for the free coinage
of silver. In fact it is doubtful
whether such an arrangement could
be secured among the leading nations
of the world. And If 1t could be Sc
cured it is much doubtful that even
if they could maintain it at anything
like a parity with gold. Silver has
become too cheap for anything Of that
kind. 1t is now worth only about go
cents an ounce, but 1t is said that the
big silver mining companies are max
ing a good profit out of it at that
price. One of the principal causes
for silver being so cheap is the i'm
proved methods In mining it and
handling the ore after it is taken out.
The idea that bimetallism means
the free coinage of both metals, is
fast passing away. The people are
fast seeing the utter fallacy in such a
thing. 1t cannot be done and be sue
cessfully maintained even by an
agreement Of all nations. Silver has
become too cheap for that. The old
conditions that existed have passed
away. But there are indications that
practical bimetallism may be extend
ed and an international agreement to
that effect arrived at. That will as
sure the concurrent circulation of the
two metals. And this latter is what
the people want. They are not Sc
much interested in the free coinage
of both as they are in the circulation
of both, and especially when the free
and unlimited coinage of both means
the circulation of only one. Or
this basis it is possible that England
would agree to the minis of India be-
ing re-Opened again. On such a basis
gold would be used as measure O.
value as it is in this country. CoulC
the nations be brought together in {
conference with this idea in mind
doubtless a satisfactory agreement
could be reached whereby true bi
metallism could be obtained. O
course this would not satisfy TIT
Bryanites for it would mean a limited
instead of a free and unlimited coin
age of silver. 1t would mean TIT
putting of the financial system upon ;
stable instead of an unsound founda
tion. 1t would mean death blow tt
fatism, and that is the dearest de
fusion that the Popocratic leader
hug. If the commission now il
Europe can pave the way for such {
settlement of the financial question
it will accomplish great work.

Our in Colorado the papers are
booming the gold convention to be
held in Denver, and predict it will be
one of the greatest gatherings ever
held in the west. If the people out
there do not look out they will get
themselves in bad odor with the
Bryanites, who while pretending to be
bimetallists, cannot conceal their
hatred of the yellow metal. However,
Colorado is taking out more gold from
the ground than ever, and times are
growing better there daily.

ALL ACQUISITIONS HAVE BEEN
OBJECTED TO.

The Pioneer Press recalls the fact
that every addition that has been
made to the United States in the way
of acquiring new territory has been
opposed and in most cases as viciously
assailed as is the present proposal to
annex Hawaii. When Jefferson made
the Louisiana purchase it was bitterly
denounced by his contemporaries who
declared the purchase as extra-cOn-
stitutional and as involving the intro
ductiOn of alien and inferior races in
to our nationality. This sounds much
like the arguments now being put
forth by the opponents to Hawaiian
annexation. But it would be foolish
to throw aside the present chance of
annexation even were the islands
among the most fertile and the richest
in the world. The place they will
play in the future of the worlds his
tory ought to be sufficient answer to
all objections on that score. The Goth
century is likely to see much of the
worlds activity displayed upon and
around the borders of the Pacific
ocean, and the Hawaiian islands from
their location will take a most i'm
portant part. And the Pioneer Press
calls attention to another fact in the
following:
Another instance of lack of breadth
in the vision of those who oppose an.
uexation is that they refuse to see
the Hawaiian islands except as they
are today, with population of 1O9,.
600, mostly natives and Orientals
They are blind to the future just as
blind as were the opponents of Cali
fornia annexation, who could see ne
population but one of Spaniards anC
Digger Indians. They could not heal
the tramp, even then beginning to be
audible, of the millions of American
freemen advancing to take possession
Hawaii once had population of 400,
900 savages. The land which is need
ed to support one savage will support
ten civilized Americans. The
Hawaiian area is nearly equal to that
of Massachusetts,. 1t is richer in al
natural resources, vegetable an6
mineral, than Massachusetts. Its
iclimate is the most equable and de
lightful in the world. The nearest
approach to it that we have on oul
continent is the climate of Southern
California. Made part of our nation
it will rapidly fill up with population
from our own shores, which will make
it the seat Of such varied industries
and the source of such desirable pro
ducts as shall make it the peer Of any
of our smaller states-perhaps even o.
Massachusetts.
