The Anderson party, made up of men
from st. Paul, Winnipeg and Fargo,
will set out this afternoon via the
Northern Pacific. At the head of it is
Robert Anderson, of this city. With
him are G. c. Good, John BowIin and
John Nelson, of st. Paul: Abram He'd
strum, Of Winnipeg, and c. A. Blum,
Louis Stubs, David Anderson and
Daniel Mcleod, of Fargo.
The party will take along sixteen

man, including emergency provisions.
They expect to reach Dawson City
not later than May 80, and will build
boats on Lake LIE Barge and proceed
down ThirtymiIe river and the Lewis
river to the Yukon and then on to
Dawson City.
Mr.. Anderson has been in Alaska,

Increase the Appropriation.

The demand for a larger appropria-
ton for the completion of the federal
building in st. Paul rests no longer
merely upon local pride, but upon
the opinions and facts made pub
lie by the head Of the treas
ury department himself. Secretary
Gage has had under consideration the
condition and needs of the unfinished
public building in St Paul, and the re-
port on it shows conclusively that to
fail to increase the amount available
would be as financially foolish as it
would be unjust.
The present requirements of the bust
ness to be transacted in this building
exceed it's entire floor space by over
1000 feet. Within twenty years a mod
crate estimate of the increased room
required shows a deficiency Of nearly
$4,000 square feet. No person familiar
with the prevailing condition of the
future doubts that the growth of st.
Paul in population and business within
twenty years will be far in excess of
the common estimate. Without count
ing upon that, however, as a certainty,
we have the striking fact now before
our eyes that our public building is I'M
equal to the demands that will be made
upon it, although it is not yet ready
for occupancy. This incomplete and
inadequate structure has so far absorb
ed the appropriations made for it, ow-
ing to the exceedingly rapid growth of
st. Paul and the changes required by
transformed business conditions, that
it can be finished only by using for
the interior work a cheap and common
place material. This is the practical
situation as the secretary of the treas
ury reports it to the senate, according
to the special advices received yester-
day by The G. lob e from it's Wash
ington bureau.
There is but one thing to be done,
and this is to enlarge the appropria-
ton. 1t is not an appeal for local in
terests, but plain, common-sense de-
mand that, when the government has
put a large sum Of money into a new
structure, it shall at least be made
adequate to present requirements; and
that it shall be completed with style
and quality of material in common use
in buildings of similar size in other
cities of the rank of st. Paul. We
know that our senators and represen-
tatives will leave nothing undone to
secure justice for st. Paul, and the
facts in the case are so plain and SO
compelling that they ought to be able
to secure the funds necessary to finish
ing the work that has been begun, even
from a body that has set It's face
against any general appropriation for
building purposes at this session.

The Kansas Pacific Resolution.

We are glad to see the names OF both
senators from Minnesota recorded in
favor Of the resolution of Senator Tur-
pie Directing to the confirmation of the
sale of the Kansas Pacific road. The
position taken by majority of the
senate is the correct one. 1t protests
against the acceptance by the govern
ment of the principal Of this loan,
amounting in round numbers to $6,OO0,-
600, in lieu of principal and interest,
aggregating double that amount.
We know all the stock arguments
that are advanced in favor of ratify-
ing the sale that has been made to the
reorganization committee of the Union
Pacific. We heard them all over and
over again with reference to the sale
of the main line itself. The people
were told that the investment Of their
money in the guarantee of the Union
less loss We were informed that nc
one would ever pay principal and in
terest on that loan; that prior lien
would compel the government to pur-
chase and operate the road on it's own
account at large additional cost, or
else accept whatever was offered; that
every year of delay had only made
the situation worse, and that the best
thing the nation could do would be to
accept whatever was rendered and
charge up the balance to profit and
loss We learned later that this was
all a gigantic bluff. When the govern
ment declared that it would not ac-
cept the first bid, but would protect
it's interests to the the extent of be-
coming a purchaser itself, if necessary,
that bid was promptly raised a first
and a second time, until it equaled the
whole amount of the roads liability to
the nation. The entire sum of principal
and interest was received, and a great
burden was got rid of without pc
cuniary loss.
The same game that was tried with
reference to the larger property has

NEWLIN AND REGISTRATION

Several days ago the board of super
Clerk Newlin to appoint six deputy reg
istration clerks. DR.. Hill, chairman of
the Democratic executive committee
and number of other representative
to the Democratic party of this county
representation in the appointment of
deputies by appointing just one Demo-
crat. Mr.. Newlin refused to grant the
request at the time, saying he would
take the matter under consideration, but
the next day, and probably without any
great distress of mind, he duly appointed
five Republicans as deputy registration
clerks.
After waiting few days, to give Mr.
Newlin plenty of time to consider
matter SO important as the appointment
of Democrat he was again called upon
and urged tomake the appointment. Mr..
Newlin again procrastinated, and since
that time the committee has repeatedly
pressed him for a positive answer, but
without result, and they have had their
suspicion aroused that he never did, and
does not now, intend to give the Demo-
cratic party any representation upon
registration work.
We have always thought that Mr..
Newlin was a fair minded man, and one
far above the level of those who mix
petty politics with every transaction of
official business. The registration Of the
voters of the county of Los Angeles is
a matter that vitality concerns the citi-
zens who hold to the Democratic faith,
as well as those who belong to any other
party. Mr.. Newlin, as Republican Off
cial, represents, at most, only one-half
istration of voters is purely non-parti-
san and, as matter of strict right every
party should have representation in the
makeup of the great register, as it is
by law entitled to representation upon
the election board.
What objects Mr.. Newlin desires to
accomplish by keeping the registration
exclusively in Republican hands are I'M
explainable on any theory except that
thereby he can find place for one more
Republican warhorse.
The Democratic committee asked, and
now asks, for one appointment only. out
of the six authorized by the board OF
supervisors. This is certainly not ar
unreasonable request.
According to the custom of the office
representation has always been given
by the different administrations, to both
the Republican and the Democratic par
ties, and if Mr. Newlin wishes to dis
charge the duties of his Office without
earning the reputation of being petty
politician, he should not hesitate to con-
form to that custom and appoint one
Democratic deputy registration clerk.
