ASKING THAT THE GOVERNORS

THE LAND OFFICE COMMISSIONER.
minnesota Has Never Yet Had a Man
to Hold the PositiOn-PIenty
of Backing.

A telegram, signed by all the execu-
tive officers Of the Minnesota state gov
eminent and the presiding officers Of
the Two branches of the legislature,
was sent to President elect Mckinley
yesterday, urging the appointment Of
lion. Tams BiXby as commissioner of
the general land office to succeed S. W.
Lamoreux, the present incumbent
whose term expires on March 10 next
State Auditor Dunn has actively inter-
ested himself in behalf Of Mr. Bixby,
and prominent Republicans by the
score have joined in the effort to Sc
cure this Office for a Minnesota man.
The land commissionership has been
held by representatives of the states
OF Illinois, Montana and Wisconsin,
successfully, and 1t is felt that the in
terests of Minnesota are as vitality con-
cerned in the administration Of the
public lands as any other Of the great
Western states. While this state has
no special favors to ask, it is thought
that Minnesota deserves this recogni-
ton at the hands of the president
elect for the splendid support it gave
him in the last campaign. Mr.. BiXby's
fitness for the position is undoubted
and it is claimed to be no exaggeration
to say that if it were necessary, a hun
dred thousand signatures could be Sc
cured to petition asking for his ap
pointment mlc
The friends of Mr.. BiXby are earnest
ly pressing his candidacy and the
warmth and unainmity of their efforts,
while highly complimentary to Mr..
Bixby, will no doubt have it's effect
with the president elect, and the tnd1-
cations are that they will be success

Attorney General ChiIds' Opinion
About State Diplomas.

Attorney General Childs has given
the following opinion to w. w. Fender
CAST. state superintendent of public in
struction:
Calling attention to General Laws, 1891,
chapter r. you inquire whether diplomas is
sued to graduates of the elementary grades in
1891 and Endorsed as provided in section Of
the said statute, may continue in force for
another five years by second Endorsement
In other words. you inquire whether such di-
plomas cease to be operative as certificates
after the expiration Of seven years from the
date thereof.
Two classes Of diplomas are named in the
law-those issued to graduates of the advanc-
ed and elementary courses. By section 1 Of
period of the two years during the time of the
students pledge Of service. At the expira-
ton Of that period they may be given further
force as certificates upon proper showing by
the Endorsement of the superintendent of pub
lie instruction and the presidents Of the nor
NAL school from which the holders have re-
spectively graduated. The effect Of such In
dorsement as to graduates of the advanced
course is to make the diplomas permanent
certificates; but to the other class, the
diplomas become effective for five years there
after. tss -
It is within the reason of the statute that
the last named diplomas may be redeemed
services Of the holders thereof have been
successful and satisfactory" l can dis
cover no purpose which could have actuated
the legislature in restricting the fndorsing
officers to single Endorsement, and 1t is not
Just to construe thes statute to that effect
If such has been the actuating purpose Of
the legislature it would have been expressed
Your question is. therefore. answered in the
affirmative.

NEW WOMEN'S PRISON.
1t Is Discussed by the state Reform
atOry Board.

atOry Board.
The regular monthly meeting of the
state reformatory board was held at
the Merchants yesterday, all the mem
Eers being present. Aside from the
usual allowance of monthly bills and
other routine, there was little work for
the board to do. Seven inmates Of the
reformatofy were parOled and seven
others who were already on parol were
discharged. 1t Is the custom OF the
board to keep the paroled prisoners in
view until positions are obtained for
them, and the men discharged yester-
day have been thus provided for.
The board discussed some matters
pertaining to legislation which will be
brought to the attention of the present
session. The walls Of the new cell wing
have already been constructed, and to
complete the structure $4,000 will be
needed. It Is also desired to erect a
building for the accommodation Of
female offenders. The law committing
ference to sex, and at present there is
no proper means Of caring for the fe-
male prisoners. It Is desired that a
separate wing be built for this purpose,
and $25, 900 w1ll be asked of the legis-
lature. There has been some consider
able discussion of this matter by per-
sons interested in prison and criminal
reforms, and although no concerted
effort has been made, 1t is not unlikely
that steps will be taken to secure the
location Of the reformatory for females
at a point separate from the state re-
formatory The subject Is one that
will be pressed before the close Of
the present legislative session.
