MAKE A TEST CASE.
Courts to Pass ON Fishery Rights in
WILLOW River.

Courts to Pass ON Fishery Rights in
Willow River.
HUDSON, Wis, May 13.-The fish
cases, for which St. Croix county is
becoming noted, were on trial in the
circuit court yesterday and today, at
tcrneys from st. Paul being on hand to
represent the interests of the Mime
scta club, which claims the exclusive
fishery rights in Willow river near this
point. Some twenty cases were dis
missed by consent of attorneys on both
sides, and stipulation was agreed to
whereby a proper case will be submit
ted to the supreme court for it's de-
termination. The question of navi-
gability Of Willow river has been be-
fore the court all day on arguments
of counsel as to it's admissibility in
jury.
Judge Bailey, Of Eau Claire, who
was called in to try the case by Judge
Helms, overruled the objections of the
club as to the right to introduce evI-
'dence on this point, and informed the
attorney that if the state of Wiscon-
sin had supplied trout fry for this
stream at the expense Of the taxpayers,
in view Of frequent acts of the legis-
lature and decisions of the supreme
court Of this state, as well as the trend
of decisions in other states, he be-
lieved the public would have rights
Of fishery in the stream independent
Of the question Of navigability. How
ever, he decided to submit all ques-
lions in the record. Considerable
amusement was afforded by the evil
dence of ST. Paul lawyer, who at
tempted to show that the river was
unnavigable because he started UP one
day in the fall of 1889 and got tipped
over with his canoe after he had pad
died a short distance. This was his
only experience or knowledge Of the
river.
This practical decision of Judge Ball
ey is received with enthusiasm by the
fishermen who have planted some $500
worth of trout fry in the river at the
expense Of the state, and who, together
with the general public, have been
shut off from the river for the past
year. Within the past two weeks sew
eral broken heads and other injuries
have been suffered by members Of the
club, guards and local fishermen in
different scrimmages on the river, re-
sulting in recourse again to civil and
criminal actions by and against the
fishermen.
Willow river has been for forty
years a famous trout stream, open to
the whole public. A few years ago
the land for miles upon both banks
was bought by number of wealthy
st. Paul people as a private pleasure
resort;~ but their, right to become ex-
stubbornly resisted by many of the
old-time trout fishermen. The club
has. accordingly, been forced to bring
many actions for tresspass, but they
have all been merged into the one in
question.

AID. KENNY THINKS HE NEEDS
LOWER RATES, NOT LOOP
LINE.
THOMPSON PLAN FAVORED
by THE COMMITTEE IN ORDER TO
PLACE 1T BEFORE THE
COUNCIL.
THE BaGELow ORDINANCE AIS
Meets w tn Favor-COmpromi.e with
the Milwaukee Road Has Not
Yet Been Arranged.

There is one thing 1 don't under
stand, and that is, why the chamber
Of commerce and the Commercial club
don't turn their attention to the mat
ter Of railroad fares, instead Of spend
ing so much time and talk about depot
connections. The continual talk is that
it is in the interests of the retailers
that there should be depot loop connec-
ton, and at the same time it costs 30
cents more to get to st. Paul from the
West than it does to Minneapolis. My
idea is that if the gentlemen who are
taking so much interest in the retailers
would make an effort to have the fare
from points west of ST. Paul made so
that it would cost no more to reach
this city than it does Minneapolis, the
retailers would be much better bene-
flied than with depot loop"
This was the talk made by Aid.
Kenny at a meeting of the committee
on streets of the board of aldermen
yesterday afternoon, the depot loop
ordinances being up for discussion.
Aid. Shepard, who favored the Thomp-
son ordinance, which provides for a
single track on Sibley, Wacouta and
LII CClS, OlOoSHI OCI IhC SSe"SN"
ment by calling attention to the de-
mands Of the retailers for depot con-
nection. Continuing, Aid. Kenny said
that all the business men in the vicin-
ity Of Sibley and Third streets, and
particularly the jobbers, were opposed
to street car lines on Sibley street.
The Arosin ordinance, which had pass
ed the assembly, provided for a double
track line on Sibley street, and, as the
Third ward alderman expressed it, a
single track line on Third and Sibley
streets would be preferable to a dou-
BILE track, but the wholesale men de-
sired neither. Fourth street,h he thought,
was as near the union depot as was
necessary for cars to run, especially as
it would work hardship on the mer-
chants who used Sibley street as the
only route to reach the freight houses
and for the purpose of delivering and
shipping freight.
After some discussion, it was decid-
ed to recommend the Thompson ordi-
nance for passage, with the idea that
this would bring about discussion
and be the best means of getting at the
sentiment Of the property owners re-
garding depot loop proposition up
for discussion at the meeting Of the
chamber Monday morning, and re-
port as to what this body decided on
would reach the board Of aldermen at
their meeting Tuesday night.
The ordinance of Aid. Bigelow di-
recting the street railway company to
change the cable to an electric line and
use device on. the Selby avenue hill
was recommended for passage.
The proposition prepared by the COM
mittee as a counter one to that made
by the Milwaukee road, relative to the
lease of the levee, will be reported to
the board Tuesday night without rec
ommendation. The proposition, which
was printed in the G o b last Sun
day, it is understood, does not exactly
suit the Milwaukee railroad, and, even
should it pass the council, would not
be accepted.

Many Atrocities Reported by an

Many Atrocities Reported by an
American Missionary.
LONDON, May ia representative
of the Associated Press today had an
interview with Rev. Mr.. Sjoblom, Of
the American Baptist mission in the
upper Congo, who has just returned to
London He said: when I left, in
February, matters in the Upper Congo
were as bad as ever. The commission
which the King Of Belgium appointed
to inquire into the atrocities commit
ted, the victims being natives, has had
almost no results. The officials are in
disposed to act on missionary evidence,
and only a few cases Of barbarity were
punished. The Ubiquitous rubber traffic
continues. When the natives are una
BILE to obtain rubber the state troops
burn the villages, murder the natives
and cut off their hands, which are
afterwards smoked and sent to, the
state officials. Parts Of the Equators-
vile district are in a state Of open
warfare
It is understood that the statements
of the Rev. Sjoblom will be made the
subject of a question in the house Of
commons.

the one to make sure the results OF the
great contest of 1896 should have been
the leading one. Instead. beyond
faint expression Of desire for mon
etary commission in the inaugural the
one dominating, decisive issue has been
issue made secondary last fall is given
first place.
The fact is that the Republicans are
afraid to touch the money question.
They have always been afraid of it..
They bungled it whenever they touch
ed 1t. They are not agreed among
themselves. A strong contingent are
confirmed greenbackers, with John
Sherman at their head, and the New
York Tribune at his back. Mr.. Reed
could form no committee on banking
and currency with a harmonious Re-
publican majority. They will do moth
ing effective at either this or the long
session, except to try to devise some
scheme Of postponement. We doubt if
there was any sincerity among them
last fall when they were pleading for
help. So they go on with a repeti-
ton of that "driveling idiocy" that
characterized them seven years ago,
stupidity assuming that all the voters
want is higher cost of their neces-
saries, playing into the hand of every
grabber in the land, prating about the
needs of more revenue while increas-
ing the appropriations, and thus max
ing smooth the road for the triumph
next year and in 1900 of the cause de-
feated in 1885, 1t is because of the
conviction that Republicans are max
ing worse than useless the sacrifices
made by Democrats, that they feel
that they have not only pres
ent cause for just complaint, but justi-
fication for refusing to be confldenced
again in the future.

1T IS "QUITE FAIR,

Is it quite fair to snarl at the Republican
congress, with control only in the lower
house, for their failure to take up and deal
with both the revenue deficiency bill and the
currency question, all inside of two months
after the Inauguration of President Mckinley?
Chicago Tribune.
Substituting the word complain"
for the word "snarl," it is clear that
those Democrats who made the election
of Mr.. Mckinley possible have just
cause of complaint in the fact that the
sole issue that induced them to make
Republican restoration possible is now
ignored, and the one issue on which
they are as hostile as ever is ag-
excessively pushed to the front What
ever may have been the issue rendered
before the Chicago convention, there
was but one after that. 1t is true that
Mr. McKinley's lawn talks did his best
to keep his hobby at the head of the
grand procession for time, but even
he had to yield to the momentum of
the real issue and discuss currency
questions. The tariff was brushed
aside by the impetuous sweep of the
greater question, deemed more urgent.
Democrats Of both wings expected
the Republicans, if successful, to
replace the German act with one
colored more strongly with their pol
icy: but they were encouraged by as
surances from the press and stump to
expect that there would be only "mod-
crate protection in the new bill. In
deed Mr.. Dingley after the election,
admitting the aid received assured the
country that the tariff bill would be
moderate III the measure of protection
it carried. With the Tribune itself pro-
testing vigorously against the immod-
crate protection accorded many of the
industries, reproach of Democrats for
complaining comes from it with poor
grace.
The occasion for prompt action on
the principal issue of the contest did
not cease with the decision Of the polls.
1t is just as urgent now and has been
as pressing every day since as it was
at any time during the campaign.
Every indication afforded by every
election that has since occurred shows
that the question is even more vital
one now than 1t was then. 1t was
entitled to the right Of way. The tar
if question might well have been made
secondary. Revenues were increasing
under the German act, and, bad as it
is. it affords as large q measure of
protection as did the act under which,
from 1883 to 1890, industries are claimed
to have fourished. If, then, it was
deemed important to call congress in
special session for any purpose, clearly

have been almost unanimous. H. H. Neg-ey,
of Pittsburg, unsuccessful candidate
for president in opposition to Mr. Echols.
An attempt will be made within the asso-
citation for a radical change in the form of
organization of the order. The membership
has become so large as to be unwiedly, and
the advocates of the reform say that some
changes must be made very shortly if not
at the present session of the supreme council.
The general sentiment apparently is for the
continuance of the offices of supreme presi-
dent and supreme secretary but for the aboli-
ton of such offices and titles as superior
president and superior secretary, Offices hav-
ing charge of state membership. Under the
present system there is a large sum paid out
for salaries which, it is claimed, accomplishes
nothing for the good of the order, and tho
amount so expended. it is urged should be

The president has decided not to appoint a
consul general to Havana until next fall It
would be unsafe for Northern man to spend
a summer in Havana until he became
acclimated. By spending three or four months
there in the winter and spring he would grad
ually accustom himself to the heat and ma
laria, but it would be tempting Providence
to go direct from this climate to that fever
factory in the heated term and the rainy sea-
son.-Chfcago Record.
In spite of this preference of the president
for Democrats to serve in fever factory and
of his reluctance to risk the loss of a Re
publican by thus tempting Providence we are
sure that there are several hundred hungry
members of his party who wish he would not
be so considerable of their health.

KEEP THE BALL ROLLING.

The public mind is becoming thor
oughly awakened to the necessity d
taking action for the fra lni1g Of new
city charter. The articles which have
appeared in the G o b e on this
subject have attracted wide attention
we believe. The present condition Of
school finances has driven the mat
ter home with a practical blow. Here
is one respect, at least, in which our
charter is fatally defective. Advocates
Of the most rigid economy in educa-
tional matters, even those who are in
favor Of cutting down and cutting off
in the management of the schools, ad-
nit without hesitation that the maxi
mum revenue for school purposes al
lowed by the Bell charter is INSULT
Client under the new assessment. We
cannot raise the tax above the maxi
mum of 21s mills on the dollar We
cannot raise the basis on which the
tax is calculated without increasing
our assessed valuation, which is not for
moment to be thought Of We can
not run schools, even on an economical
basis, with the amount of money that
the maximum tax rate would bring in.
Here is dilemma which admits of
no solution outside of the formation Of
new charter.
This is but one Of many respects in
Which our charter, excellent as most
OF it's general provisions are, has ceas-
ed to be adequate to the conditions and
requirements Of the time. We want to
preserve all its excellences, and espe-
cially its strict limitation upon the
power to spend money and to create
Indebtedness. But, in connection with
these, we want also to secure freedom
OF growth for the municipality and
the conforming of the charter to our
present needs. The way to this has
at last been opened by the passage Of
the Sheehan acts. There is no other
way, and cannot be, because we must
keep the charter exactly as it is in
every respect or frame a new one un-
der the home rule amendment. This
is the plain point Of attack.
We urge upon those who are inter-
ested in preserving the schools and
upon all others who desire to promote
the welfare and aid the advancement
of st. Paul, to agitate and work for
the appointment Of charter commits
sion at the earliest moment practical
BILE. Let the matter be brought before
the district judges, the commission Sc
lected and it's labors begun We need
every day that is available to COM
plete charter that shall be wise and
safe, as well as liberal, to have it con-
sidered in the open forum of free pub
lie discussion, and to have it ready to
be passed upon by the people at the
next election. ST. Paul must have a
new charter. It can get it only by
adopting the home rule amendment.
Almost every intelligent man who has
studied the situation thoroughly agrees
that new charter is practical ne
cessity. Let no time be lost in begin
ming the preliminary work. The char
ter commission ought to be appointed
before another month has rolled
around, and it's work begun in earnest.
