MORE PROSPERITY.

If there is any one circumstance to
protectionist points with PRIDE" it is
the building up in this country of a
tin plate industry. He will tell you
how, before the Mckinley bill became
a law, the manufacture of tin plate
was practically unknown. He will reel
off to you yards Of figures to show that,
since the duty was imposed, a large
number of tin plate factories have
been established, giving employment
to thousands of WOrkingmen. He

out of the pockets Of the people to buy
these plants. He is not weary of di-
lating upon the great advantage to la

ployment open to the American work.
ingman. Standing on this ground, ne
has demanded an increase in the tariff
on tin plate, and received it, Although
the number of factories multiplied ur-
der the present tariff law, the tin plate
manufacturers insisted that, to bring
back real. true prosperity, they must
have a little addition to the duty.
Like all the rest of the capitalists, they
got what they wanted. There is no
disagreement to their schedule, and
the bill is going to pass with their rate
in it. Behold, now, how this addition
to the tariff ''scatters plenty DER a.
smiling land"
We learn, in dispatch from Pitts
burg, that there is going to be a gen
eral strike in the tin plate industry
on account of a disagreement over
wages. In some mysterious way the
beneficiaries of the tariff, who are sup
posed to hand on to their employees
the sums that they are authorized to
collect from the people, fail or refuse
to do so. We are told now that a strike
on the new wage scale will throw about
5000 people out of employment, and
that there seems to be no way to avoid
it. What is the matter with this pros
perity-making tariff? The tin plate
men have all that they want or asked
for. They set their prosperity mark
and congress came up to it. And now.
probably because the men are indie

1t is a melancholy fact for Americans that
out of sixty ocean freight and passenger

lean. Fer weeks the navy department has
been looking for an American ship to carry a
cargo of grain to starving India.-Austin
Herald.
Melancholy, as is the fact that protective
navigation laws have swept the seas clean of
our merchant marine, it is still more melan-
choly fact that the navy department would
delay for weeks sending the corn for starving
India because they couldn't find an American
bottom to ship it in. A little more consid-
Grafton for the starving and less for American
ships, would, in this instance, be commend
able.

STOP THE FARCE.

The defeat of the proposed loop or
dinante giving street railway connec-
ton with the union depot ought to be
the last act in the farce which has
been running continuously before one
body or the other Of the city council
Keeping up pretenses, because there is
no longer anybody that can be fooled.
1t is apparent that this council is the
mere mouthpiece Of the street railway
company, and can be depended upon
TO do its will at all times and under
all conditions. The convenience of the
pubic and the advance of the ma
ter1al interests of the city cut no fig
ure. The street railway company is 70
De saved at any cost from the neces-
s1ty of making further OUTLAWS of cap-
ltal, and our facilities for local trans
portation are to be held down to the

snow Of earnestness through one BODY.
because it is understood that they will
be Killed in the other. The see-saw
OF vlrtuous profession between the as
sembiy and the board of aldermen has
no power now to impose upon the pub
Tic. We know exactly what the coun-
Gil has been doing for the whole of
the last year, and at whose dictation.
The only thing about which all of
our people and all of our interests are
unanimous is that there ought to be
loop to the union depot, by which
passengers on all the lines in the city
could ride to the depot doors without
an extra fare. 1t would mean more
money to st. Paul, more opportunities
Tor growth, than the building of half
dozen new lines in the suburbs. The
pretense that it would inf1ict injury
upon business is not even worthy of
mention. Those whose business inter-
ests are supposed to be involved are
willing, or even anxious for a line on
Slbley street to the depot, and the only
oOJectors are members of the city col1n-
Gil, who cannot furnish I'D a. halfway
decent excuse for their action. So the
interests of st. Paul are still held I'D
by the combination in the council. IF
the community cannot help itself, as
apparently it cannot, let there at least
be clear understanding of the situa-
ton, a proud and boastful display by
the Council of the collar. that it wears,
and no more fussing and fooling over
ordinances that are only born to die.

QUALIFICATIONS OF JURORS.

ouI jury system, nOafy with age, re-
mains with US, venerated, it's frailties
condemned by it's senescence, as the
foibles of old men are, although the
primal reasons for its creation and all
the ancillary ones have ceased to exist.
No titled class now exists to make a
trial by others than the peers of the
defendant dangerous to the liberties
of the untitled, or to exempt him from
trial unless duly presented by an in
dictment framed by a selected BODY
Of his peers. 1t is doubtful if the time
ever was when it was necessary to
put twelve men in a box Ito enlighten
the conscience of the court as to the
facts of any case, although the time
is not wholly past when the less a
juror knew the more acceptable he
was to one or the other side of the
controversy. Notifications have been
forced in some states, grand iuries
have been dispensed with and justice
has suffered no hurt, and the unit rule
has been invaded; but no innovation
has been made without fear and
ties be shaken to it's foundations.
In civil cases the jury is supposed to
adjudicate the facts of the case, sift
the true from the false and get at the
very truth, function requiring quail
ties not possessed by every sovereign
even in a land where each is a
sovereign. 1t takes common sense. a
power of analysis, good judgment Of
human nature, it's motives and arti-
fees, and reasoning powers of no mean
order to do this. Naturally, then. the
inquiry into the qualifications of a
juror becomes a condition precedent to
his acceptance, and frequently, in i'm
portant cases, days are spent, panels
and special venires exhausted, before
twelve men are found who pass the
ordeal Of the respective attorneys and
the triers. Usually the questions go to
his knowledge of the case at bar. his
interest in it, his bias, his ability to
form an impartial Judgment where he
has acquired some knowledge of the
controversy, and others directed to de-
velop his impartiality. The less he
knows about the case or anything else
the more fit he is usually assumed to
be to perform his duty.
But new qualification is being in
troduced, we note, in New York. Be
fore one of the courts one branch of
the tobacco trust is trying to have the
other squelched by means Of an IN
dictment and trial under the antitrust
laws of that state. There are millions
involved in the case. and the most emf
rent counsel are engaged on either
side. Among them is Mr.. Joseph
Choate. who upset the income tax with
the assistance Of a vacillating Judge,
and he has been engaged in examining
those summoned to sit upon the jury
and determine the very truth of the
case. 1t may have some relation to
that case whether juror uses or does
not use tobacco, although we confess
we cannot see why it should unless Mr..
Choate fears that they might be
bribed with plug Of it or a box of
cigarettes. but. anyway. he asked

RECKLESS RIDING.

Now the pendulum begins to swing to
the other extreme The obnoxious re-
strictions attempted to be imposed by
the council upon the wheelmen of the
city having been knocked out by the
courts, the few reckless riders take it
to do just as they please. They APP
pear to have some warrant for this in
the policy of the police administration
Of the city, which is either to run in
everybody who rides a wheel, or to
take no notice of any infractions of the
law at all Within the last week there
has been perceptible increase in the
number of scorchers and the daring of
their performances. just as the G o b
has fought for proper consideration for
the riders of the wheel and has secur-
that their privileges are in danger. Just
as it protested against the idiotic meth
Cd of enforcing the ordinance now
dead, SO it protests against the non
enforcement of provisions against fast
riding in the streets.
Half-grown boys and bumpers"
brains, can be seen pedaling violently
down st. Peter street, getting a good
start to coast down the hill between
Summit avenue and College, at immi
nent risk of limb to every one who may
chance to be in their way. There is
no more dangerous spot in the city for

ty times a day. The same is true Of
the hill on Dayton avenue at the head
of Third street, and of the steep pitch
on upper Sixth. Just because the po-
lice are not allowed to run in a man
for carrying a lantern on the front post
of his wheel instead of the axle, they
are no longer interested in putting
stop to scorching. Just because the
great body of users Of the wheel are
relieved Of onerous restrictions, the few

that they can do exactly as they please.
We believe that the organized wheel
men of the city ought to take this mat
ter up. They should insist upon the
appointment of two Or three expert
wheelmen upon the police force, who
should patrol different parts Of the city
on their bicycles daily without uni
forms. The one offense above all others
in the use of a wheel is reckless rid
ing. Out of that arise ninety-nine of
every hundred accidents that occur.
The reckless rider must be suppressed
in the interest of Wheelmen, as we'll as
Of others. In Sioux City they had, for
a time, an ordinance that gave to cy-
clists almost unlimited privileges. These
were so abused that an ordinance fol-
lowed which practically barred the
wheel from the streets. If we are
not to have a similar experience in
passing from one end Of the scale to
the other, the scorcher must be sup
pressed and the wheelmen and women
of the city must take a hand in in
sisting that the ordinance against his
performances be enforced.

WHICH IS ENTITLED TO SITe
Supreme Court to Determine the
Pharmaceutical PrObIem


The state board of pharmacy has
nnaily brought it about that the con-
stltutlonallty of the appointment Of
Truman Griffin by Gov. Clough. as a
member of the board, is to be tested
through the medium of quo warranto
proceedings. 1 is also arranged that
the validity of the law under which
the association contends that such aD-
pointment could not be made will be
tested at the same time.
The hearing in the case was set yes
terday for week from tomorrow. in
formation having been filed with the
state yesterday.
In the proceedings the state, on the
relation of Attorney General Childs.
and the Minnesota Pharmaceutical as

are defendants.
Mr.. Griffin is called upon to appear
and show by what warrant he holds
and exercises the offices and rights of
member of the board. Mr.. Webster
is called upon in the same manner.
The REALTORS are represented by Mr..
Fletcher, Of Fifeld, Fletcher and FL

ed is a re ume of the events in the
case, which is we'll remembered.
While the legislature was in session
in January, Gov Clough appointed
Truman Griffin, disregarding the five
nominations made by the association
according to their CUSTOM and as pro-
Vided by the statutes of 1894. The as

Gus objection to the appointment on
the ground that Griffin was an outsider
and not included on the list of nOmina-
tions made by the association. The
senate confirmed the appointment, and
Griffin assumed the duties OF the office
all of which the Information sets forth
Is prejudicial to the dignity and best
interest of the s4ate He is therefore
asked to show by what right he pre-
SumeS to act.
The mere matter of the constitution
atty of Griffin's appointment raises the
question of Webster's right to hold
over until his successor is duly named
according to law
The quo warrantc proceedings Will
then in reality amount to an argu-
ment on the cOnstitutionality of the
law. Of necessity the positions of both
Webster and Griffin will be defined BY
the supreme court, but the basis for
any rul ng handed Gown will necessa ri'y
be the construction given the act en-
towering the state association TO name
the five candidates from which the
governor makes his choice each year.
When Griffin'S confirmation was still
hanging in the air the senate judiciary
committee debated the matter and was
deVided against the constitutionality of
the appointment, but the appointment
was confirmed
The ground given for this action was
that the constitutionality of the statute
was not in anywise concerned.
The members of the association point
out that If the governor is not required
to name enc of the five men chosen
by the organization, then the same
rule must apply to all other state
boards, and they intimate that this pre-
cedent will lead to all sorts of trouble
