becomes lieutenant governor by reason
of vacancy in the office of governor
and corresponding vacancy in the
office of lieutenant governor"
After the 1896 session Senator Day
became q silverite. While we believed
that he should have resigned his
office at that time, because he was no
longer the representative of the
Republicans of his district, we re-
garded his unseating as disgrace to
the senators who unseated him at the
1897 session. It was an unseating by
the railroads., and not by the people,
or by the constitution.

Mr.. DAY INDICATED.

During the early portion of the 1897
session of the legislature Mr.. Frank
A. Day of Martin county was unseated
as a senator in the Minnesota legis-
lature, the claim having been made
that Mr.. Day, by accepting the
position of president protein of the
Senate at the 1896 session, was no
longer Senator from Martin county.
At that time The Gazette pronounced
the unseating of the Martin county
senator as dark stain on the legis-
lature of this State, because the reason
set forth was but the screen used by
the railroad corporations and cor
poration senators to punish Mr.. Day
for his vote on the railroad land tax
law, by which vote alone that bill
passed. and by the unseating of Mr..
Day the railroad corporations ex-
pected to inform the Supreme Court
that the law, which imposed on them
just burdens, was unconstitutional.
On Wednesday last the Supreme
Court of Minnesota pronounced the
unseating of Mr.. Day as steal. The
Supreme Court passed on the act,
through the appeal of railroad land
corporations from Judge Hollands
decision holding that the Anderson
railroad land tax law was con-
stitutional. The Supreme Court, by
Chief Justice Start, affirms that the
legislature has a right to tax these
lands, and that the Anderson law is
constitutional. The railroad COM
panies, in their appeal, claimed that
he had no right to vote. The Supreme
Court says that "the President pro-
tempore of the State Senate does not
cease to be q Senator when he

THE META6 VERDICT.

The jury in the Metag case did
about the proper thing. There was
plenty of evidence tending to prove
that Kuehn was a quarrelsome man,
and that he made Metag continual
trouble during the entire time from
the commencement of operations in
the spring up to the time Of the homi-
eide.
There was nothing in the farm con-
tract specifying that Metag was to do
the blowing before he did the thresh-
ing, and so far as the contract is con-
cerned, Metag had a right to thresh
the grain at any time. He tried to get
Kuehn's consent to this, because he
had guaranteed that Kuehn would not
destroy the engine and thresher by
fire, as Lehne, the threshing machine
owner, feared. The attempt resulted
in the homicide.
Metag knew that Kuehn was quar-.
relsome, but he had no reason to be-
lieve that he would injure him by
means of a weapon, and when he
placed revolver in his pocket, ano
his son two guns in the wagon, anc
startedI for Kqehn's, he did so will
the expectation of having trouble. AT
ter he arrived there and saw Kuehn''
temperament he could have left with
out receiving injuries. Metag was a
fault in taking the guns with him ant
afterwards rushing on to Kuehn will
the gun.
The jury reduced the verdict from
death to life sentence, believing tina
if Metag behaves himself at Saltwater
he will some day be pardoned.

The Gazette again reiterates that
if there is machine in Minnesota
Republican politics it is backing VIM.
H. Eustis, Tams Bixby, w. R. Mer-
RAM, Joel P. Heatwole, and L. P.
Hunt are four of the biggest machine
strikers in the State, and every one of
the four is supporting Mr.. Eustis.

The Minneapolis Times spread the
false report that Capt. VanSant had

VanSant paper, has caused the report

Since that time the auditor has pulled
the string and the postoffice man
without political soul dances for
Eustis, against whom The Gazette
has nothing to say. Two years ago the
auditor opposed Eustis and was for
Clough. Now he is for Eustis and op-
poses VanSant, and his adherents
must dance to his music, or suffer the
consequences.

DIS6RACEFUL SERVICE.

A day or two after the 1898 Easter
edition of The GAZETTE was published
Rev. Fir. Jas. j. Woods of the Catholic
church mailed about dozen papers
of that edition. They we're placed in
United States wrappers, bearing the
proper postage stamps, carefully ad-
dressed by Fir. Woods and then placed
in the postofice at this place. Not a
single one of the number sent out bv
FIR Woods has yet reached the destin-
alton.
Eyer since the first week of the pres
ent postofice management at this
place the city edition of The GAZETTE
has been compared with the original
list in this Office, and counted, so that
there could be no mistake here. Ever
since that time from to 20 COM
plants have been made weekly from
subscribers, who claim that the post
master has not given them their pa
pers.
From this reckless disregard of
handling government mail The GA
zETTE proposes to have relief.
In the meantime subscribers are re-
quested to continue to notify us of q
failure to receive their papers.

It is amusing to watch the manner
in which our postoffice contemporary
dances to the music of the political
boss at the head of the county
auditors Office. On Jan 18th his paper
came out flat-footed for Capt. VanSant
for governor, saying Capt. VanSant
is a good Republican, an old soldier,
and if nominated would prove vote
getter to be proud Of" * "and
Second district support should go to
the First district candidate" On Feb.
18th he again recorded the fact that
a plurality of the editors we're for
VanSant, and on March 18th, he
wrote: ave fail to see how Van could

The Plot Thickens.

Paris Sept. sl.-The papers say the
minister of war, General Chanoine, has
examined the documents in the Dreyfus
case and ordered the prosecution of
Colonel Picqiart, on the charge of
forgery
The trial of Colonel Picquart and NJ.
Loblois, lawyer, on the charge of re-
vealing documents concerning national
defenscs, was to have begun today, be-
fore the correctional tribunal. The
public prosecutor. however, asked an
adjournment on the ground that the
prosecution of Colonel Picquart on the
charge of forgery and using forged
documents had been ordered by the
minister of war. NJ. Laborie, who was
counsel for M. Zola during the latters
famous trial, Indignantly opposed the
adjournment. which, he said, was an at
tempt to hand over Colonel Picquart in
to the clutches of the military authori-
ties.
Colonel Picquart then said: This is.
perhaps, the last time | shall speak in
public. for | shall sleep, perhaps, in the
military prison Of Cherche Midi There,
fore. wish to declare that if | find
there strangling cord, lie mercier pic
ard, or razor like Colonel Henry, it will
be murder for have no idea of com
hitting suicide.' The audience shouted,
''Vive Picquart.n The judges, after a
short deliberation, decided to indefinite
ly adjourn the case Colonel Picquart
was led away between policemen.

WANTED TO KNOW.
General Breckenridge Asked Number Of
Questions and Established the Standing
of Army Surgeons.

Lexington, KY. Sept. al.--General
Breckenridge, who is in command of
Camp Hamilton here, and Surgeon GEN
eral Sternberg had long conference
just before the surgeon general left
here with Secretary Alger. General
Breckenridge wanted to know just who
had right to command the hosptal
surgeons. He said at Chickamauga
there individuals were do-as-you-please
fellows, under nobody's command.
General Wilson had requested certain
things to be done in the hospitals in
Chickamauga and no attention had been
given to his demands. On investiga-
tion, General Breckinridge said, showed
that the surgeons considered themselves
subject only to the orders of General
Sternberg. General Breckinridge said
he found the same trouble in Camp
Hamilton, and wanted to have dis
tinct understanding regarding the mat
ter. General Sternberg said that the
surgeons at tChickamauga were subject to
the orders of General Wilson and the
general should have found this out. II
he saw his orders were not obeyed he
should have settled the matter at once.
General Breckinridge said same was
the case right here and wanted General
Sternberg to inform General Sanger
that he was the proper person to com
mand the surgeons

Lieutenant Reed, of General Wade's

vestigate the condition of that province,
apropos of reported violation of the
protocol, There are repeated reports
that Rodriguez, the insurgent COM
mander near Havana. sent 1000 troops
from this province to re-enforce those
under Betancourt, commander of the
MatanzaS province. The Spanish con-
tention that it is impossible to admit the
cargo of the Comal free of duties is re-
Iinqushed on the ground that the
precedent has been found in previous
similar remission by the government.
The Spanish are opposed to the ad-
mission of the cargo to Havana, sug-
gesting, however, Bahia Honda and
other points for debarkation.
The American commission will prob
ably prepare response to this com
munication in advance of the answer
to the Spanish evacuation proposition.
