A TwO-BY-sIx STATESMAN.

The city council boasts a good many
statesmen whose ability would have to
be measured by the microscope, but
perhaps the best of them all is the
member who thinks that we ought 10
quit legislating for Improvement in cur
street railway system and turn to the
reduction of fares on the steam rail-
road. This delicious bit Of logic he
has confided to the public, and adds 20
il his opinion that Fourth street is near
enough to the union depot for the
street railway cars to run. Two or
three blocks are nothing, in his judg-
ment, in rainy weather, or even the
four or five blocks that the people have
to walk to take any one of consid-
cradle number of the lines of street
cars. The merchants on Sibley street,
he thinks, object to depot loop, and
the opinions of half a dozen men who
might possibly be affected are rather
to be considered than the interests Of
the hundreds Of thousands Of people
who use our union depot every year.
This is a fair specimen of the kind
of timber that our city council holds,
as evidenced by it's dealings with al
most every subject that it has ap-
preached. Whether through densest
ignorance or through malice, it man
ages to get on that side OF every cues
ton which is the farthest possible re-
moved from the public interest Think
of the logical power Of a man who has
been elected to represent the people
in their city council and then proposes
that they put up with inadequate street
railway facilities because the rates on
the railroads from ST. Paul to some
where in the Northwest are higher
than, in his opinion. they ought to be.
Think Of a man whose view Of his
duty to the public is~measured by the
idea that the private interest Of one in
dividual is to be considered above the
public interest Of a thousand.
Who cannot see that our present in
ability to reach the union depot by the
street railway lines is one Of the prime
causes that has been keeping this city
from getting a fair share Of outside
business? The greatest misfortune
that's $tsyPaul knows Is filing up her
representative bod1O with people with

Then gently scan your brother man,
Still gentler sister woman,
For they may gang a kennin wrong;
10 step aside Is human.

third act takes place in the library Of Israel

CUT IN POOL PRICE.
1t Will Follow the Collapse of the
Steel Beam Trust.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 1.-THE dis.
ruption of the steel beam pool, the
last vestige of the combinations which
held the more powerful producers to-.
gether, is regarded by local brokers
as likely to precipitate a rate war
along all lines, such as exist at present
in the rail and billet branches of the
business. The dissolution of the rail
pool lowered prices from SIS to SIS per
ton, and the disruption of the billet
pool was followed by a cut Of from 81
to SIS per ton. 1t is thought that u
cut in the pool price of beams will only
be a natural sequence, and that the
price will go below one cent per pound
The abrogation Of the pooling arrange
ment and the present price list will
eventually prove Of much benefit to
the smaller manufacturers, who were
unable to compete against the com.
bined forces Of the pool. They will
now have an equal show with COM
petitors, and may secure orders that
will start mills now idle. In view of
the fact that the structural iron trade
is in prosperous condition at the
present time, and improving right
along, a general scramble for orders
will more than likely occur within tina
next few weeks.

Our readers doubtless remember distinctly
that we stated and reiterated long ago that
the gold standard had shrunken prices in this
country to point so near the level of prices
in Europe that any material advance OF the
tariff on general imports would SO reduce the
imports that the revenue would be reduced in
stead of increased.-Brainerd Journal.
We note with pleasure that, at least one
thing has escaped the shrinking in price; the
subscription price of the Jod n +. remains at
s1.50 year. Will Stivers explain how he kept

standard?

Gentlemen, don't you for an instant dream

be free silver or something else-we rather
expect something else-but they'll agitate,
and don't you forget it.-Grand Forks Herald.
Of course they will. They'll agitate and
oscillate and ululate, and cogitate, and ex-

for anything that ends in Gate But they

A New Point In Insurance.

The ingenuity of some insurance COM
panies in devising ways and means for
evading responsibility is equaled by
nothing on earth. A claim was recently
made against an accident insurance COM
pany for indemnity by a physician who
had met with an injury in a very pccul-
lar fashion. He had been i'll as the re-
suit of an accident received some time
previous, but was partly recovered.
While driving he was seized with a
spasm, and great exhaustion overcame
him. He stopped his horse and proceed
ed to administer hypodermic injection
of some powerful stimulant to which he
resorted in such emergencies just as
he was about to insert the needle his
horse started. The needle was driven
deep into the flesh, infiicting a severe
and painful INJURY. He sued for indcm-
nifty, he being disabled for 22 weeks
The judge dismissed the complaint on
the ground that the injury was not
caused through external violent and ac-
cidcntal means i'll the intent and pur-
pose of the policy. This decision will
strike the average thinking individual
as somewhat peculiar. If Il mishap due
to the sudden starting of horse is not
an accident, it might be interesting to
know how the word could. be defined.
