1t is well to look at important questions
from all sides A Madrid dispatch says the
cardinal archbishop of valladolid has pub
lished a pastoral letter blaming America
for the prolongation of the Cuban war, in
which he says: "The hypocritical friend
ship Of the United States fosters the re-
bellion and wastes Spains resources in or
der the better to attack her when weak
ened." He exhorts all true Spaniards to
unite in defending the rights and honor
of the nation" This from a priest is more
significant than from a politician. 1t is
evidently an appeal to what is supposed to
be the prevailing sentiment Of the common
people. The people of the United States
can afford to regard with a good deal Of
amusement and contempt an appeal which
suggests that they are trying to waste
Spain's resources in order the better to at
tack her when weakened" This is about
as if small puppy or black-and-tan terrier
should charge q big Newfoundland or
mastiff with trying to reduce its strength
before attacking it.

is that most cities show architectural blum

There has no theory come be-

who either uphold or oppose it
than this so~called "single-tax''

be three cornered and perhaps
four. Union men should make
it an especial point to be

the transfer of money from the water
fund to the general fund came up.
Richardson moved to substitute the
amount as reported by the finance com-
mittee (of which he is chairman) for
the amount named by the com mittee
(composed of Meesrs Lovett, Voss and
Aid Simpson,. He insisted that his
own report was right and that it was
not more than half the amount that
properly should have been included.
Crassweller called attention to one
item in the finance committees report
of 81 800 that was admittedly wrong, for
the money was yet in the city treasury for
the Lakewood award He thought the
report was an attempt to rob Peter to
pay Paul. 1t was impossible to cut up
the time of the city officials and charge
their salaries, part to this amount and
part to that And there was no excuse
for it, because the expense of the city
engineers Office, which Richardson had
laid special stress upon, had not been
increased by the work on the water
plant The special committees report
had the approval of the city attorney.
Sang and Dahl sided with Richardson
while Simpson raised the question of
where the interest from the water fund
went to. Jefferson made some sarcastic
illusions to the great wisdom of the
chairman of the finance committee and
Crassweller found present way out by
moving to refer both reports back for
itemized statement.

Herbert Warren, the auto
crat who signs himself as man
ager of the Duluth Street Rail
way. has issued a notice to the
conductors to collect regular
fares from the firemen whether
in uniform or not after anu-
ary 1st.
With Truelsen's reform ad-
ministration cutting wages,
and additional expenses forced
on them by the benevolent (?)
street railway company, they
will soon be ia the position of
the "man who worked for moth
ing and boarded hinself.'
If the railway company would
issue a few less passes to the
city officials, aldermen, etc.,
from whom they expect re-
ciprocal favors, any carry the
poorly paid firemen to and
from their meals, when practi-
cally on duty and in uniform
it might not look so much like
the act of a pack of hungry
wolves eager to devour every
thi e within it's reach. There
will be a day of reckoning with
some people at no very distant
day unless all signs tail.

resolutions:
Never in the history of the
city of Duluth has there fell
upon it that solemn sadness as
when the news came OF the
death of Rev. G.. c.. Salter.
While in life all that knew
him loved him; his encourag-
ing words were spoken to all;
his deeds were those of good
ness, and his thoughts and
actions were to do good to all,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That in his death
the community has lost a true
friend, who at all times was
ready and willing to assist the
needy;
Resolved, That we extend to

IOINT TRAFFIC BUREAU FALLS Will No Longer Control Rates on w WeStern
 Railways.
Oroanization Too Expensive for the Services It
 Renders.
Will Handle Only Routine MatterS Until It's Contract Term
 Expires.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, March 23.-The Western Joint Traffic Bureau, as far as its power to control or direct the actions of the Western roads in rate making is concerned, has passed out of exist ence. Chairman Midgely, who has been at the head of the Western Freight Association and later at the head of the Joint Traffic Bureau, will retire on the first of next month and leave matters in the hands of Commls- sioners Parker, Shule, Courtright and Wellington. The roads have con- tract with these Comrlissioners that has one year to run, and during that time they will be employed in looking after the freight rate sheets, the com pilation of statistics and similar mat ters. They will have nothing to do with the making of rates or their maintenance in any part of the West ern territory.
 Commissioner Parker will be at the head of the organization for one year, and then such action will be taken re- esrding it's continuance as shall at that time be determined by circumstances.
 All this was settled at meeting Of the executive officers of the roads Which
  reau to-day. There was general oninion that the organization had be- come too expensive for the services 1t was ahle to render to the railroads, and if was a foregone conclusion that it's mowers would be limited very largely. There was not work for all the Com missioners. and as the contract of Chairman Midgely had expired and those of the other Commissioners had still a wear to run, it was decided that thev should have the control of the Or eanization during the life of their con- tracts at least
 The bureau will be able to do very little beyond the handling of routine matters from now on. The organiza- tion has been a failure as a means of maintaining and controlling rates ever since the promulgation of the Supreme Court decision, declaring illegal all or eanizations having for their object the control of rates.
 The roads of the Central Passenger Association have decided to make a rate of two cents per mile one way fo1 the round trip to the annual encamp- ment of the Knights of Pythias, which takes place in Indianapolis in the early part of September.

 The inquest was held this morning, and the evidence introduced was about the same as that already published, ex- cept that Superintendent Starke teSt1- fed that ex-Captain Jenks was working at the powder works as a laborer, the day of his death being the second that he had put in.
 Chief Engineer Rush and Assistant Superintendent and Foreman H. c. Ricke testified as to the explosion. The latter said that Nelson had that morn ing been quarrelsome and contrary, and Rush also gave similar testimony, saving that he went into the house where Nelson was running the sitting machine and told him to be careful and keep the bearings oiled. Nelson gave him q snappy answer and Rush left to visit Jenks in the next building and from there to go and tell the super1n- tendent He had hardly got out of Jenks' building when the explosions took place.
 The Coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death caused by an explo- sion at the United States Smokeless Powder Works at Point San Pedro. The portions of Nelson's body which have been discovered weigh only fifteen pounds.
