persist in saying that the silver question

would acknowledge their main great is

still push silver and Bryan in 1900, they
will then acknowledge that both are
dead issues. They know ii now. But
like drowning man grasping at straw

one, the Goebel election returning board).
That may help them out in pinch.

THE ARMY R1TLON-

STARVED to death That is the verdict
OF the doctors who attended young Tiff
fanny, youth Of wealth, who was brave
enough to 90 out with the Rough Riders
and who lost his life in consequence,
says the Atlanta Constitution.
Starved, because he was not given the
proper food. Was il necessary Was
not that life, as we'll as many others
needlessly sacrificed because OF some
body's blunder?
II 30, who is responsible Who is
guilty?
Had this young soldier been given
proper food and nourishment while I'M
dergoing the ravages OF fever, his life
would have been spared. This country
10 rich, and there is not man in il who
begrudge the expenditure Of whatever
is necessary to take proper care OF the
soldiers. Was it red tape. or was it in
competency that took this life and the
others?
Now come the members OF the "Pres-
ident's Own" regiment, the Eight Ohio
and charge that they, too, have been
starved. Who is 10 blame?
The impression is strong among those
who have undergone the experience of
soldering in the tropics, and even those
who we're compelled 70 camp lie in
Florida, that the army ration is to a
great extent at fault These men claim
that the food given the soldiers was abb
solutely unsuited to the needs Of the
men in such climates that the rations
given out to them, while II assuaeed
hunger, furnished no nourishment, and
that in consequence the men were in no
condition TO stand the hArdshIps Of the
campaign about santiago.
Whether this theory is correct or not
We do not pretend 10 know. We know
however, that this army ratlons Is an
other thing which should be investigated

BE FAIR.

The Board OF Public Works, of Louis-
vile is advertising for bids for laying as
phalt streets in that city under the new
specifications.
There is more than a suspicion that
the changes in the specifications were
made for effect, and that they do not
lift the boycott on Kentucky rock as
phalt. 1t is u case where the changes
have not been made in the spirit and, as
there is no sincerity in it, the changes
can not be helpful to our product.
All that Breckenridge county has con-
tended for all along is justice and fair
play. II asks no favors of the Louisville

GOV. CLOUCH COT IN A RAGE
WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE
FIFTEENTH REGIMENT
aSoU. DO Look Like a - FOOl,"
He Asks Earnestiy-Wiil Not Is

He Receives Further Instructions
From WashingtOn-Didn Like

Say, do l look like a d fool?'
That was Gov. Clough's answer to
the inquiry How about the Fifteenth
regiment?" put to him yesterday aft
ernoon by a reporter for The G b e..
The message received by the gov
ernor a few minutes before from his
lieutenants on the floor of the con-
vention had not left the governor in
the best of spirits. 1t brought infor-
nation of the action of the conven-
ton in enthusiastically indorsing the
candidacy of Senator Davis for re-
election. and. of course, that forcasted
no good to the machine.
1t was a sort of political holiday
about the capitol, and Gov. Clough
was about the only state official to be
found In the executive halls. The gov
ernors meditation was only broken by
an occasional visit from Messenger
Ward bearing news as to how things
We're going down below"
1t was just after one of these visits
that the reporter visited the governor
in his inner office. The newspaper man
did not consider himself competent to
judge of Gov. Cloughs personal beau
ty just at that moment so he withheld
q reply to the governors question.
How in h do you suppose l know
anything about the Fifteenth regi-
ment when I have received no author
ity from Washington to call for any
more soldiers" asserted the governor
in tones which would make Henry
Feig blush.
1T has been intimated," ventured
the reporter, that you are holding off
until after the convention before max
ing your assignments of companies
and appointment of officers"
well, that is a lie, and 1 would like
to know how under the sun those fel-
lows get their information. Why I
have no right to organize the regiment
until all the recruits for the other reg
iments are out of the state. There
won't be any call from me until l get
authority from Washington. I have
not used any of the military appoint
ments for advantage, and 1 would call
out the Fifteenth today If I had the
authority to do so. But there will be
no call issued for five years unless

cluded the governor,

Test Case Argued and Submitted to
Judge Kelly.

The case of Catherine E. Putnam against
the City of st. Paul was argued yesterday be-
fore Judge Kelly. The case is a test and is
brought by the st. Paul Teachers associa-
tion to settle the question of the liability of
the city for part of the salaries of the
school teachers for June, 1895.
Stiles w. Burr appeared for the PLAINTIFF,
and Assistant Corporation Attorney Taylor for
the city. The attorney for the plaintiff
argued that the appointment of the teachers
in June, 1894, by the school board was a bind
ing contract, and only two-thirds of the
salary was paid the city was liable for the
remainder.
The city argued as defense that the school
board had no right to make contract for a
year; that it had no right to make such a
contract before the council passed the
budget in July, and that the board should
have after the budget was passed by the
council reduced the salaries of the teachers
to correspond with the amount allowed for
salaries.
Judge Kelly took the case under advise
ment.
Judge Lewis in the case of George Benz
against the City Of ST. Paul ct al. finds that
the city is now in legal possession of that por-
ton of lots to IA inclusive mentioned in
the suit, and that such portions have become
parts of Robert and Jackson streets. That sub
ject to the rights of the city the plaintiff Is
the owner of the lots. The action is dis
missed as to the other defendants.

NEW LINE IS IN OPERATION.
Cars on the Como Interurban Will
Start This Morning.

Work on the new Como interurban was
practically finished yesterday, and in the
afternoon trial trips were made over the line.
Cars will be run on the new-lne commenc-
ing this noon, but the regular service Of ten
minute cars will not be inaugurated until
Sunday.
The line will be operated with cars similar
to those at present in use on the interurban.
TWO Of the new cars which have just been
built will be put on and eight more will be
added as soon as they can be turned out
of the shop at Minneapolis.
The line is somewhat longer than the Uni
versity avenue interurban line, but the dis
tance it is expected will he overcome by the
fast time which can be made between Rice
street and Como park and the park and Min
neapolis.
On the new line it will cost residents Of
Minneapolis but five cents to reach Como
park, that point being made the dividing line
as to the double fare.

were run every hour. Commencing Sunday
