Another Franchise Given Away,

The city council granted the long
distance telephone company the fran
chise asked, ut last Tuesdays meeting.
Cuder 1t the company is not compelled
TO contribute anything to the revenue
of the city, though they are not build
ing a line here for their health or our
mere accommodation. They are com
ing here for the money they can make
out of the public, the same as other
business men. and should be made to
contribute y percentage of their earn
ings to the city's revenue. We thought
that the people had seen the last of this
making of fish of one and flesh OF an
other. \ man cannot post bills or run
draw line without paying a license, but
a rich telephone company Is not only
permitted to 90 scot free, but is given
an opportunity to intrench itself SO as
to command monopoly for all time to
come. We had hoped that our city
fathers would take leaf from the cX-
perience of other cities, and make al
CORPORATIONS contribute TO the clty's
reyene, but it seems it is not to be.
The aldermen who voted for the grant
ing of this franchise have, by that act,
il by no other, forfeited the confidence
of their constituents, and should be
made aware Of the fact.

CHRISTMAS.

There are some customs of which we
gradually grow tired, and abandon, but
the custom of observing Christmas is
one that will never, We trust, cease 10 be
sacred to humanity. To the Christian,
who believes that with the dawn OF the
first Christmas day, eighteen hundred
and ninetv-seycn wears ago, was usherei
in an era full of promise, Of light
and hope and JOY, each recurring Christ
mas means much; while to the unbe-
lever il has sacredness undetinable,
but ever present and potent. The Chris
tian, the believer in the humble Naza-
rene and the crib in the manger, who
beers with the eye Of faith into the
mysteries of the Eternal, feels in his
heart this day the comforting assur-
ance of future of happiness, and, in
fancy, hears, in far-of Bethlehem, the
angels singing IIosanna to the Highest,
Peace on earth, good Will to men, and
to-day Christian churches, and the
Christian world, will resound with the
music of many voices singing the same
heaven-inspired canticle, and the in
tluence of the Christian church is more
than ever felt for the good of humanity.
Nav it ever increase. and every recur-
ing Christmas day bring an increase OF
happiness to all Gods creatures.

A Versatile Statesman.

Though Burke never attained high
Office, his abilities were so versatile as
to qualify him for any post which a cab
met minister could fill His practical
wisdom was as conspicuous as his power
of generalization. No one had clearer
comprehension or a tirmer grasp o.
great principles Of universal application;
at the same time his policy in every de-
partment of English politics rested on a
wide and solid basis of information and
experience. he was stepped IN the
history of the past, yet penetrated
through and through with the reality Of
the present, and ever and always mind
full Of that future in which the specula-
tons and measures of The day were to
be tested, and finally approved or con-
demned. His prodigious activity in
public affairs s?rang not from an intel
lcctual source alone, nor from his in
perial patriotism; it was constantly ted
from an lneXhaustible store of moral
energy. He was animated by 4 detest-
alton of all forms of oppression, wheth-
er by kings or governors, parllaments
or peoples. which was in him CON
SHINING passion, from which his noble
nature could only obtain relief by de-
nun citation Of the oppressor and the de-
struction of his power. | cannot help
thinking that Burke must have been
stimulated, too, and sustained by de-
light in his studies and in his work. 1t
is impossible. without counting this as
an additional incentive. to understand
the amazing Industry which he devoted
to the elucidation of all the great Ques-
tons dealt with in his speeches and
writings. How his method reproyes
the habit, too common in our dav. as in
other days, % debating subjects affect
in. the fate of millions of our fellow
creatures as if they could be disposed
Of by echolng the chatter of ignorance,
or prejudice, or vanity, or selt-interest.
When We read Burke's speech on Fox's
East India Bill we saw, What a great
pro-consui he would have made. When
we read his speech on Cancellation with
America We feel that the greatest of
colonial ministers was lost in him: and
when We read his speech on Econom-
cal Reform We eXclaim, Here is an ideal
Chancellor of the EXchequer.-F From
Edmund Burke and his Abiding In
Huence,' by J. O'Connor Power. in
North American Review for December.
John \. Willard, one of the most /
prominent men of Mankato, Mimi, !
died ut his home, from the effects Of an
operation. on Wednesday Of this week. I
Mr.. Willard was estimated TO be worth !
about million dollars, but was forced, |
recently by unfortunate investments,
10 make an assignment.
While we have no wish 10 be con-
sidered as having any personal feeling .
against ex-Judge lIutchins. we cannot 4
help thinking that the city attorney
IS more lenent with nina good
deal more lenient-than the clrCun-
stances seem to warrant him n being.
As we have said, if the ex-judge had
been guilty OF approprating ham to
his own personal use he would have
been sentenced to hard labor in Rock
mont. Such heinoUs crimes are not tele-
rated in Superior, but !, is 10 harm to

A Refunding Scheme.

At last refunling scheme has been
adopted 10y the council, that submitted
bv Mr.. Culver a couple of weeks ago,
except that the rate of commission was
changed from y to >! per cent; all
money received in sale CT bonds more
than par is to be turned over to the city
and ali bonds are to be turned in at the
price for which they were purchased;
Mr.. Culver to pay all expenses except
Tor printing bonds, and compensation
not to be payable until the plan is COM
pleted. While it seems to us that the
city council, with the assistance Of the
city comptroller, and the tax commits
sioner, who is doing next to nothing for
carried out satisfactory refundlng
scheme, and saved the city the p per
cent, still it is just possible that in
thinking SO We are giving the city gov
eminent credit for more brains than it
possesses. and that it is better that a
man of Mr. Culver's experience and
financial connections should be en-
trusted with the carrying out of the re-
funding scheme. AS he has agreed to
accept no compensation until the plan
Is substantially completed, 1t looks as II
he Is sure OF succeeding in reasonable
time, and we trust he will, rs there has
been much precious time wasted and
money lost 10y the dilatorv course pur-
sued by the council since it was decided

ccased:
" Here lie Martin Elginhrode:
Have mercy on my soul. Lord God;

The epitaph reminds one Of the coup

When the devil Is sick the devil a saint
would be.
But when the devil is we'll the devil saint
is he"
Martin Elsinbrode could be very merci-
ful when he was in need of mercy, but,
