1t really represents all the record that
the council has. It has not done any
thing else, as far as we can recall.
It has occupied eighteen months
of official existence almost ex-
clusively with discussion Of PROPOSE
tons relating to the street railway
company. These have been shuttle
cooked back and forth from assembly
to board and from board to assembly
with rare skill. In all these months
such care has been taken that, by no
accident, except in two cases, did an
ordinance get through both houses
In those circumstances the company
paid no attention to it, as it was prob
ably understood and intended in ad-
vance that it should do.
A record such as this does not SIM
ply happen and is not devoid Of mean
ing. It speaks more loudly and to the
point than volumes When the social
ed representatives Of the people devote
a year and q half to a single topic
when they introduce resolutions and
ordinances by the score, refer and de-
bate and re-refer them, pass them In
one house and kill them in another
pass them in one and have them
amended in the other and then refuse
to pass them as amended when they
diclzer and talk and trade, to the ex-
clusion Of every other subject, without
at any time coming within reasonable
distance Of positive action, the people
are justified in coming to the conclu-
sion that this Is what was intended.
No course could have served the
street railway company so we'll as this
To pass ordinances compelling it to do
it's duty would have been unpalatablei
to pass other ordinances distinctly and
openly in rs favor might have pro-
voked opposition to the danger point
to hold everything in suspense was the
action most acceptable to a company
that desired no change, unless 1t were
in the direction of larger privileges.

the country, or ever has been, whose
record would equal or approach that
which we publish this morning. For
a year and q half our assemblymen
and aldermen have done nothing but
propose legislation, fated from its birth
to futility, relating to the affairs Of the
street railway company. Incompetence
and imbecility or actual treason to the
cause and the interests Of the people,

it, could so no further. The record Is

HEADS OF THE COUNTIES.
Superintendent Were Not rs BeIliG-
erent as the Municipal.

The county superintendent section
met in the senate chamber last even
ing. When President Nelson called the
meeting to order there were about fifty
present, and he stated that there would
be a large number arrive this morning
so that their meeting this afternoon
would undoubtedly be largely attended.
The first address on the programme
was delivered by President e. A. Mel
son, Of Hallock. Mr.. Nelson thought
that society and politics had their dem
agogues, but that class Of people had
no place in the ranks of the county
superintendent section.
Geo. W. Scherer gave a paper on
"Scme things that are and some things
that ought to be-" Mr.. Scherer held
that the grammer schools Of Minnesota
were the superior of any in this coun-
try, or any European country. He had
Travelled all through Germany, and
while the colleges Of that country ex-
celled those Of this, American grammer
schools were much in advance of the
German schools, where the teachers
did more whipping than teaching. The
sanitary conditions Of our schools were
away ahead of those in Germany. He
strongly advocated the summer schools,
and hoped in the future more emphasis
would be put on that department Of

school in Blue Earth county had an at
tendance Of LOT, and many another
county could make Just as good a show
ing. He thought the present teachers
examinations given by the state board,
were entirely too easy, as about 80 per
cent of those examined passed, while
a number of years ago, when the ques-
lions were harder, about 80 per cent
failed. He thought the standard Of the
first grade teachers certificate should
be raised and there would not be so
many incompetent teachers in the coun-
try districts.
A. H. Steltz, Of Duluth, discussed
Mr.. Scherer's paper, after which there
was a little informal discussion on the
points involved.
State Superintendent W. w. Fender
CAST spoke of the $50 allowance made
district schools, which was great aid
to them and greatly encouraged educa-
tors in the more rural parts Of the
state. He thought the next legislature
would make provision for an adequate
appropriation to cover all districts Of
the state, as the present appropriation
will only give 20 per cent Of the coun-
ties their allowance.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Dec. PIN.
Grahams large clothing and grocery
store, in East Grand Forks, burned to-
night, the fire originating from the fur
mace. Part Of the upper floor was used
by several secret societies as a lodge
room, and the other part by Mr. Ora
ham for living apartments. He and his
family are in Canada on visit, and
from what can be learned he carried an
insurance Of nearly $4,000. His stock
and building were worth probably $780,
600. Other buildings adjoining were
saved by the strenuous work of the
firemen. The building owned by Mr..
Graham was formerly q school building
and was but recently moved to its pres
ent location. The fact that it was well
built saved two or three blocks from
total destruction. The secret orders
will lose about $500, with no insurance.
