But what of the argument that the tariff
increases the price? The protective tariff
merely makes it possible for the American
to do business, and the price ought to be
such that remunerative wages can be paid
TO the workmen who produce the article.
The man who is not willing to pay that
much ought not to be willing to buy. IN
der a proper protective system competition
between home producers Will regulate the
price to the lowest per cent. of profit to the
producer When trusts are formed to raise
prices beyond natural limits then a new
problem is introduced for governmental So
luton. But il should be remembered that
trusts are not creatures of the protective
system and are not fostered necessarily by
1t. Trusts are always possible where profits
in business are possible, and when business
men in free-trade England find it possible
TO make money, there as elsewhere human
greed dictates combinations for selfish ends.
The only danger there is in the mainte-
nance OF the protective system on account
or trusts lies in the incentive TO favor GER
tain special Industries in fixing the rates,
but that Is no argument against the sys-
tenn. IL only emphasizes the fact that,
this being government of the people,
right minded servants who will not be in
fuenced by the greed of combinations must
be placed In official positions Undoubtedly
the government ought to treat the trust
problem seriously and energetically but We

AWAITING THE CHARGE OF
MURDER.
BROUGHT BACK BY WAGNER

Gray Case Is Dismissed-Other
Court News.

Sheriff Wagner returned from st.
Peter last evening, bringing with him
John Adler, who has been discharged
from the insane asylum and Is brought
back to stand trial for killing Bernard
Miles last June. Mr.. Wagner says
that Adler looks much better than ne
did when taken to the asylum last De-
cember, and talks quite nationally,
though he complains Of a queer feeling
In his head. Adler told the sheriff that
he thought they ought to have allowed
him to remain at the asylum while
longer, as he did not believe he had
fully recovered.
Asked If he remembered shooting
Miles, Adler said that he had con-
fused recollection of it, but he does
not, he says, remember his imprison-
ment in the county Jail. He expressed
no remorse for his crime. and declared
that the people in the neighborhood OF
University and Harrington avenues,
where the shooting occurred, had
taunted and plagued him to disIrac-
ton.

GERMANIA REORGANIZATION.
Arguments. In the Case Concluded
Before judge Otis.

Arguments In the Case Concluded
Before Judge Otis.
The closing arguments on the mo-
ton to dismiss the application for the
reorganization of the Germania bank
were heard by Judge Otis, sitting at
special term yesterday forenoon. The
motion to dismiss was made at the
first hearing last Saturday by the at
torneys for the objecting creditors. The
grounds upon which the motlon Is
based have already been published.
The principal contention of the OBJ
jectors is that the law under which it
is proposed to open the bank is un-
constitutional, for the reason that 1t
authorizes the court to restore the es-
tate or assets to the insolvent bank
and at the same time restraints all OBJ
jecting creditors from prosecuting
their claims or in any way interfering
with the property for an indefinite
period and so takes away vested rights
and impairs the obligation Of con-
tracts.
The arguments were resumed at 10
a. m., and concluded at 1890 p. m.
T. r. Palmer, representing the bank
and the creditors petitioning for the
reorganizat ton thereof, occupied most
of the session in reply to the argu-
ments advanced at the previous hear
ing by Col. Pierce. of Minneapolis, in
opposition to the reorganization. Mr..
Palmer contended that if to restore
the property to the bank and restrain
objecting creditors would impair the
obligation of contract. or deprive
objecting creditors Of vested rights,
then the court had no power or au-
thority under the act to restrain OBJ
jecting creditors from prosecuting
their claims, for the reason that the
act expressly prohibits the court from
adopting any plan or making any or
der which will impair the obligation
of a contract or take away vested
rights.
At the conclusion of the arguments.
Judge Otis announced that the motion
to dismiss the application would be
taken under advisement until June II,
to which date the matter was there-
upon adjourned The decision Of the
court will be announced at that time,
and should the motion to dismiss be
denied. the court will then hear argu-
ments ON the merits Of the applica-

EXHIBITION OF WORK.
Summer Term of Agricultural School
Comes to Close.


The closing exhibition Of the students
of the summer term of the agricultural
school took place at the institution
yes -erday afternoon The work display
ed is surprising considering that the
term was of only six weeks length.
The working department, with Miss
Shepard as instructor, displayed its
work in the Home building, which was
decorated with flowers and palms.
There were six tables arranged to show
the different varieties Of cooking. On
the first table was a child's breakfast,
an invalid dinner, consisting of shirred
eggs, toast, coffee and rice; g. dainty
breakfast of oranges, mush, Goldfish.
creamed potatoes, coffee and bread, and
a lunch of creamed eggs, mashed pota-
toes, Drowned rolls, sliced tomatoes and
cocoa On the second table were a
variety of dainty deserts and angel
cake; the third table was devoted to
the different varieties of breads; soups,
meats, croquettes and Saratoga chips,
were shown on the fourth, and a large
assortment of cakes on the fifth and
various kinds of salads on the sixth.
There have been sixty students in the
cooking department, divided into three
divisions. Each division was given
three hours practical work twice each
week.
The sewing was in charge OF Mrs.
Margret Blair, who has perfected a
system of her own and teaches each
pupil to drape and cut each and every
garment without the use of pattern or
chart, only tape line being used.
The result of the six weeks work was
displayed in Pendergast hall and COM
prised everything in the way Of sewing
from patch to a tailor-made gown.
This department is well equipped with
fine new sewing machines and other
necessities.
The dairy course is very practical
one, and the use Of the ordinary ap-
pliances found on a farm, are here
used to obtain the very best results.
Prof Hacker had this department in
with E. Mayor and H. Hacker, as as
sistants. The students are all very
anxious to return In the fall and take
the full winter course, and there is no
doubt but very large attendance will
inaugurate the new department next
October.

TEST TEA AT TACOMA.
Government Grants a Concession to
Northern Routes.

Government Grants a Concession to
Northern Routes.
General Traffic Manager Hannaford, OF the
Northern Pacific, yesterday received notice to
the effect that John E. Palmer had been
appointed a government tea tester at Tacoma,
with jurisdiction over the Puget Sound ports
of entry. The appointment was made by the
collector of customs Of the Puget Sound dis
trict, headquarters at Port Townsend.
The appointment of a tea tester for the
Puget Sound country is a victory for the
importers and the railroads of the North
west, who have been fighting along this line
for several years. The government has up
to the present time maintained but three Of
f1cial tea testers, one being located at San
Francisco, one at Chicago and the other at
New York. Tea entering the United States,
before it could be sold by the jobbers to whom
1t was consigned, was held in bond at the
Puget Sound ports. Samples were then sent
to any of the three testers in the cities named.
The samples were then tested and II found
to be pure and free from aduteration, were
released from bond and delivered to the i'm
porters. Shipments to Puget Sound ports
were thus held for two weeks awaiting the re-
port of the testers. The system was wholly
unsatisfactory to the Northwest. The i'm
porters and the railroads held that inasmuch
as Tacoma was the leading port of entry
for tea In the United States, that by rights
tester should be stationed in that territory.
Millions of pounds Of tea arrive at Tacoma.
Seattle and other points during the year. The
location Of a tester at the ports named will
greatly facilitate the delivery OF consignments
to interior points.

Light Company Shareholders.
Frank D. Moses has begun an action
against Tams Bixby, John H. Mullen
and Robert G. Elliott and the Pierre,
Water, Light & Power company to re-
cover the sum Of $532.68 for services
rendered by the plaintiff as a mechani-
cal engineer, in the construction Of
gas plant for the defendant corpora
tion at the city of Pierre, South Da-
kota. The plaintiff has already secured
judgment against the company in the
district court Of Hennepin county for
the amount named and an execution
was issued against the property Of the
company and returned wholly unsatis-
fed. The company it Is alleged, has
been in the hands of a receiver, and
there is nothing left to satisfy the
claim of the plaintiff. The plaintiff
therefore brings suit against the other
defendants to enforce their liability as
stockholders for all debts due to
mechanics, workmen and laborers EN-
ployed by the company. The complaint
alleges that Messrs. Bixby, Mullen
and Elliott are the owners and holders
of five shares Of the company's stock
of $100 each.

official yesterday. 1.-THE trouble has already
commenced, and presume it is rumors Of this
which have given the Chicago papers justi-
flcation for their claims about a violent St.
Paul rate war. But to large extent the Chi
cago papers are right. Rates to the Gettys-
burg event are already quoted at one cent
mile, but I understand that the First Min
nesota regiment has secured even lower rates
than this"
number Of passenger men were talking
yesterday about the change in methods OF
conducting passenger business during the
past fifteen years. At that time rate wars
were far more disastrous than they are now.
One official cited the time when for week
passengers were carried from st. Louis to

is the first of IT'S kin which was ever filed
with the commission, and was looked upon as
a curiosity The tariff will apply on articles
taking minimum carload weight dssss,ana less than

mum capacity in cubic feet OF car loaded.
whether car is loaded to Its full capacity or
not, and subject to minimum charge based
upon the actual weight at carload rates, in
cents, per hundred pounds.
The system of basing charges upon the
cubic feet in cars will apply, for instance,
upon the shipment of such articles as mat

some, do not fill the car to its minimum
weight Of $4,000 pounds, as required by the
