Two Creditable Selections.

The presidential responsibility of APP
rolntment, Sraciously delegated by the
present incumbent to the senators Of
mortgage had not been placed by Mr..
Hanna in the ante-convention cam
paign of 1886 to secure delegations-has
seldom resulted In better selections
than the two announced for this state.
While Mr.. Evans has not won rthe
leadership of the bar, he is a capable
lawyer, and, although the duties of the
office of district attorney, having most
ly to deal with offenders, will leave
scant room for the play of his vivid
imagination and his fower-garden
rhetoric. still we have no doubt that
he will tread the prosaic path of prose-
cution with firm step.
Mr.. Won Baumbach. slated for collec-
tor OF internal revenue a neighbor of
Senator Nelson, will make very re-
spectacle head to the force that gathers
revenue from those luXuries of life,
beer and whisky tobacco and oleomar-
garine. He served the state capably
as Its secretary some years ago. and
Will serve the nation as creditably as
collector. When we consider the quail
lty of some of the persons who were
supposed to have had ante-convention
mortgages on these and other federal
places in the state, these selections
bring relief from apprehensions of an
other dose of GoodnOWism

John B. BriSbin Is Dead.

Another of the men who have been
influential in the birth and develop
ment of the state has passed away. For
more than half of the forty-five years
since Mr.. Brisbin united his fortunes
with those of the territory that has
since developed into the state, he was
prominent in public affairs and forcefuI
in giving them direction. In the STATE
among the older people. he is chiefly
identified with the struggle that was
St. Paul to st. Peter, in which, as the
presiding officer CT the senate, he balk-
ed the promoters of the removal by his
parliamentary skill in their efforts to
pass duplicate of the bill which 10
Roulette had with him in an upper
room of the International hotel, wait
ing for the session to expire
During all these years Mr.. Brisbin
was an active member of the Demo-
cratic party, and chairman of it's state
committee during a number of them.
After his retirement from active par
ticipation in party councils he retained
his interest in party movements and
his figure was always one of the group
Of veterans on the platform at state
conventions. His Democracy was rug
ged and tenacious, impatient of COM
promising expedients and knowing no
such word as surrender.

PINGREE'S PLAN PRESENTED
scheme TO Tax Corporations Read to
the Legislature Assembled in
Special Session.

LANSING. Mich, March 22.-The
Michigan legislature assembled this
afternoon, having been called by Gov
i'ingree to consider the governors
proposed measures for increasing taxes
upon railroads. express telegraph and
telephone companies.
In the senate protests were entered
against Senators Covell and Preston.
Republicans, and Senator Hughes.
Democrat, continuing in their seats.
The two former had been appointed to
moved from his district Covel and
while Hughes favors the Pingree taxa
ton bill. 1t is considered improbable
that the Pingree measures will pass
the senate unless radically amended
Gov. Pingree read his corporation
taxation message to the joint session
It's leading points were that the franz
ers Of the state constitution intended
that all taxes be based on the cash
value of the property; that taxes
should be levied upon public franchises
as we'll as other property; that the
present system of specific taxes upon
railway earnings is unsatisfactory and
wrong; that the tax upon Mich
igan railroads shall be less than
a quarter of l per cent upon their own
sworn valuations, and less than one
eleventh Of the percentage paid by
other tax payers.
The governor recommended authori-
cation Of appointment Of a state board
to make equitable valuations of the
property of such corporations at their
cash values and to assess them at the
average rate Of the taxes. The bill was
introduced covering all these points.

TO HEAR GEN. BOOTH.
feOpies Church Crowded on the
occasion of His Appearance Last
Night.

Gen. Booth spoke in Peoples church
last evening. Gen. Booth is getting
CID. His figure sways and bends with
the force of his words and thoughts
and the words do not come readily to
the once eloquent tongue.
Hard service, little rest and age are
telling on the wonderful old man, the
founder of the great Salvation ARMY.
and the worlds best known evangelist.
Gen. Booth stood before a pulpit
draped with the stars and stripes. and
with him were Commander Booth
Tucker, Col. Lawley, and Commander
Nicol. The local army band also oc-
cup1ed place of honor and was heard
al the opening and closing of the meet
ing. Gen. Booths address was short
and given with a nervous force which
held attention. His words had to do
with the army work generally, its re-
suits and methods, and he gave many
illustrations of the manner in which
it is carried on in the large cities.
Rev. Samuel Smith made the opening
address. telling of the Salvation Army
as he had seen it in various countries
which he had visited. The church was
packed from balcony to pit. People
from all stations in life had crowded
the great church to hear what this re-
Hgious leader from over the water had
to say. and interest was apparent all
through the evening.

The Disadvantage of .sTact.

We are getting frequent illustrations
of that mental formation of the presi-
dent that compels him to the effort to
please every one by agreeing with each.
1t is what the politician of small cali
Der calls his tact: the avoidance of
offending, and thereby saving votes in
a contest where votes count. In limite ed
circles and for a limited period this
disposition brings success But when
success has installed the tactful one
in a place where the responsibilities
are great and the unacceptable final de-
cisiOn must be made, the futility of
tact" it's destructiveness, appears.
The foundations Of reputation it has so
painfully reared crumble away under
1t. 1t destroys itself. The adherents
gained by it's plausibilty are repealed
by their disappointments 1t does not
bring the compensation that comes to
the man so placed who esteems it his
duty to please first his better self, for,
however much and many such a one
offends he draws to himself a compen-
sating number of supporters.
We have had many and are to have
in the three years to come more illus
trations of this in the differing and
contrary impressions which those who
have spoken with the president on
policies in which they We're interested
have brought away with them Until
the st. Louis convention forced the Re-
publican party from it's bimetallic
straddle the silver men were sure the
candidate of that convention was with
them. His campaign speeches assured
the gold standard men that he had
changed his views. His European
bimetallic commission set them to
doubling where he was Recently
Chandler came from the White house
with the conviction that the president
the coinage policy, while on the same
day another visitor came away with
the impression that the president was
infieXiby opposed to doing anything
for silver. Only last week Senator Han
ma went from the presidential presence
to the senate and assured his fellow
club members that there would be no
war; that the president was not pre-
pairing a war message. On the same
day the fiery Grosvenor went from his
interview with the president to the
house inspired by the war feeling which
the president had communicated to
him.
1t is here that we find the source
of those unfulfilled predictions of what
the president is about to do; these con-
Trajectory statements of his attitude,
which papers, really solictous to give
the news and avoid fakes, are misled
into printing. They are authentic

from the Third. 1t beamed out of the
cyclone cellar which the foresight and
insight of it's owner had constructed.
The cellarless six were unhappy. They
contided their fears to the scribe with
irjunctions not to print what they I'M
folded over their signatures. AS the
one serene one is we'll known, the with
holding of their names seems a bit of
superiority. That, however, is quite IN
keeping with their general condition.
They form the Superf1uous Six. That
sufficiently describes them, one and all.
Whether names are given or withheld
The Pilgrim reports the Superfluous
Six to be quite generally apprehen-
sive as to the MISUNDERSTANDING SO,
in fact" Not on their personal ac-
count, not by any manner of means,
but solely because of the perils that
would assail the nation should they be
driven from it's defenses. Then would
Chaos come again. Their apprehension,
it will be noticed has two degrees, the
positive and the superlative. The first
degree rises in their apprehension thar
some iconoclastic Democrat may SUI
persede them in their several districts.
For this they see ground enough in the
general conditions. The second degree,
the exceedingly SO, in fact" stage,
rises in the apparition of Van SAINT as
a nominee for governor and, looming
up dark and sinister behind him, the
shadow of Clough as a candidate for
United States senator. 1t is this that
makes them Exceedingly so. in fact"
They hope to be able to stagger through
under the load of a good state ticket;
but, handicapped by that combination,
they are sure they will fall by the
wayside.
The superlative degree of the appre-
hension of the Superf1uous Six is also
Superfiuous. They do not carry the
state ticket; neither does it carry them.
Their names are not on the same bal
lot. The voter debates with himself
over two separate propositions; the
state nominees on one ballot and the
representatives and county nominees
on another. He passes judgment by
the one on the state issues and the
merits of the candidates. That dis
posed of, he judges the other. The six
superfiuities have sufficient cause for
alarm under the first degree of their
apprehension. They will have all they
care to do to explain why the promises
of their campaign two years ago have
not been kept. That will keep their
wits busy, and drain all their re-
sources.

EOctOrS as Cooks.

Practical dietetics is rather elabor-
ate name for boiling potatoes and
making pudding, and yet it is only
what is to be expected when the
science of cooking is annexed by a
learned profession. Cooking in the
past has been left pretty much to shift
for itself. but in the future all this is
to be changed The reform already
has reached Minnesota, and as a. re-
suit the senior class in the medical
school of the state university is to be
taught the gentle art of angels food
and pumpkin pie.
At first thought the idea of grave
and sedate medical men, decked out in
blue checked aprons, and with fourv
hands, mixing a batch of bread or
dropping doughnuts into boiling lard,
is amusing; but why not? 1t ought to
be quite as useful an occupation as
raising pyogenes for the market or
running an incubator for bacilli. Then
1t would be distinct gain to have the
science Of cooking on a more definite
basis The cook book as it exists is
too vague for modern methods There
is too much of 1.-The pinch of SALT and
spoonful of soda" about it. After the
doctors have been running the kitchen
for short time a cook book will be a
good deal after this fashion:

dent that, if liver and onions and bacon

STATE BOARD OF CONTROL.
Conference of Representatives of
Various Iowa Charities Will Ask
for Ono

Secretary H. H. Hart, of the State board
OF corrections and charities. yesterday re-
turned from Des Moines, where ne attended
the first annual conference of charities of
that state.
The conference had under consideration the
subject of establishing a state board. Mr.
Hart made an address Mach II, the first day
of the conference, in which he explained the
system in vogue in Minnesota.
After elaboration of two days the confer
ence decided to recommend to the legislature
a state board of control. This board will
differ materially from the Minnesota board.
The board in this state is simply advisory.
while the proposed Iowa state board will
have the governing of all the state institu-
lions. 1t will do away with the trustees of
all the asylums and correctional and charit-
able institutions, leaving their government
in the hands of board of seven trustees
Mr.. Hart thinks the legislature of Iowa
will undoubtedly adopt the plan recommended
by the conference
