MEETING MONDAY N NIGHT
TO Consider the Freight Rate.
Question-N, =. Wants q Y
Low Through Rate.

The city council has asked the peo.
ole Of Little Falls to attend meet
ing at : he city hall Monday evening
to consider q Communication from
the state railroad and warehouse
commission. The Northern Pacific
railroad has applied to the cOmmis-
sion for permission to establish .
lower through freight rate between
the Twin Cities and the head of the
lakes than the local rates from inter.
mediate points to and from either
OF the terminal points. The present
grain rate to Duluth from Little
Falls ,is ~ cents hundred. The
roads loading from Minneapolis to
Duluth give a rate of s cente. The
Northern Pacific Wishes to get a
share OF the immense through bust
ness, without having to cut down
Its local tariffs. The rule is that q
railroad should not charge less
TOR a long haul than for q
shorter haul over. any part of the
same line. But there are. exceptions
to all rules, and the Northern Prcific
asks for an exception to be made on
this through business from the COM
mercial center OF the state to water
navigation. This long and short
haul question has been q puzzle to
some of the brightest men In the
United States, and those who attend
the Injecting Monday evening will
have an interesting question to dis
cuss. II ! - ~, a..

"Allow me to call your attention
to some needed repairs in the school
buildings, and some needed changes
In the course of study. -..
The walls of the three ward build
ings, Lincoln, Columbia, and Haw-
thorne, should be calsomined, pa
pered, or painted. 1t would be
economical to paint the walls of the
halls. They conld then be washed
and kept clean. There should be
new curtains in these three buildings.
The curtains in the High school
room of the Central building should
be arranged 80 as to cover the lower
sash without covering the other.
This can be done In two .ways-(l)
by hanging another set of curtains
on rollers placed at the top OF the
lower sash, or (2) by hanging one
set Of curtains so as to roll up from
the bottom Of the window. When
possible to light the room, sufficient
ly by so doing, light should only be
allowed to enter the upper part of
the window. -.
Physical culture. drawing, and
music should be added to the course
soeastsdy for the grades. Physical
culture can be taught. without add
ing to our present teaching force, by
only employing teachers who are
able to- do this work. This would
not drop any teacher from the pres
ent corps. Each teacher, during the
summer vacation, can prepare her
self for this work.
To teach, successfully, dra wing and

for these subjects. The educational

Duluth Herald: A per announce
ment the mills Of Mitchell & Mcclure
and Merrill & Ring started saving
Monday. 1t was stated that there
two men for every place to be filed
and the men went to work without
any thing whatever being said as to
wages. It is likely however, that
when 1t comes to manning the night
shifts this apparent surplus Of labor
will be taken up and that the de.
mand viii be somewhat more equal
to the supply, and 1t is probable that
the question OF wages will be settled
privately without any serious dis
pute. While the men are Of the opin.
ion that present conditions warrant
an advance Of wages and while they
confidently expect at least restora'
tion to the wages paid previous to

posed at present to lose time II

the only antecedents the word seems to
have in the paragraph. But we feel
confident these men are not trying to
carry the fall election on any false cry
whatever. Neither are they trying to
blow into office on the rising storm. -
or form a local organization out of the
prejudices of the people, or stir up strife
in the community to cover any contem-
plated desertion of principle.
The Tribune says further:
Our contemporaries need not worry
about the Tribune. What they should
devotion to silver is not limited to party
lines. A change in platform would not
change its opinions.
The Storm Starter is inclined to flat
ter itself. No one is worrying over it.
All grieve to see it go. But it will be
taken care of, we doubt not. Nor does
any one believe its devotion to silver
limited TO party lines. 1t can work just
as effectively and just as consistently
for silver by abandoning the fight as it
could while doing its ''loud-mouthed
vociferation" act. That never helped
the cause anyhow. To abuse the oppo-
sition and call names never convinced
any one of anything.
And, so far as "a change in a plat
form changing our neighbours opinions,
it is absurd 1t would take something
more substantial, of course.

PRESENTS ITS CASE.

What has the Democratic party TO
show for silver in all its history except
some loud-mouthed vociferations before
election and a pitiable grabbing for spells
after election Tribune.
The 'loud-mouthed vociferation" was
all done by our morning contemporary.
and it has struck for higher wages.
There viii be no more of that.
So far as the spoils We're concerned.
Mr.. Lannan captured most of those for
his friends Arthur Thomas, Charlie
Whittemore ct al. Nor did it make a
bit Of difference to the great spoils dis
tributor whether a Republican presi-
dent or Democratic mayor owned the
plum tree, he invariably tried to shake
it.
What are they now hoping for? To
carry the fall election on a false cry for
silver?
These questions our neighbor asks.

out who is meant by they" unless it

RACIAL CHARACTERISTICS.

Are not negroes entitled to free
speech?" asks an exchange.
To be sure they are. But many of
every privilege extended to them. Lib
erty they construe as license, and the
result is that few negroes are able to
discuss public questions without be-
coming insolent and resorting to per-
sonal abuse. They take advantage of
white people who notice them at all,
and actually threaten and blackmail
those who differ from their views.
Race troubles arise more from this
constitutional falling of the black man
than from his occasional criminal con-
duct The white man who flatters and
favorS the negro, however hypocriti-
cally, may count upon escaping his
malice; but the one who gives honest
expression to his views on race ques-
tons is marked by the vicious negro
of the south for assassination, or by
the vicious negro of the north and west
for SANDER and blackmail. Many east
ern newspapers, in discussing the race
problem, appear to overlook these char
acteristics, which are largely at the
bottom of race prejudice and race
wars
Yet the negro may not be so much
to blame, after all. But one generation
removed from slavery, he cannot be
expected to know the difference be-
tween liberty and license, between free
dom of speech and gratuitous libel, be-
tween a public discussion and a per
sonal encounter. And so, when some of
his race champions arouse more an
tagonism than they make friends, pro-
yoke more opposition than they gain
assistance, it is rather the misfortune
than the fault of the race.
There is more in this southern prob
lem than the crime of the ravisher.
That is but one expression of the bru-
tally of which the whites have cause
TO complain. And still there are hun
dreds and thousands of negroes who
are as far removed from this lower
class as Booker T. Washington is above
the blackmailer.

LAME EXCUSES, INDEED.

Yesterday our morning contemporary
repeated its old excuse for going back
20 the goldbug organization.
It always pleads that it wasn't prop
srly appreciated, and that, therefore,
the Democratic party is party of
spoiIs. 1t whines because the Demo-
Gratis OF Utah refused to trust it, but
its dese-tion of silver has justified the
distrust.
The Boise Capital, whose comments
on our neighbor's abandonment of the
silver fight were given the other day
also dissects the motives assigned by
the Tribune for its desertion:
But it is when our Elijah essays to
give reasons for his dependency that
ne breaks down completely. In a nut
shell. it amounts to this, that western
Democrats, and especially Utah Demo-
Gratis, have not done as they should by
sik7er Republicans" But, granting his
ccntention, what has that to DO with
the silver question: On this account
should Mr.. Goodwin and the silver Re
publicans of Utah show the white
feather. or. what is more damning,
make preparations to go over in body
TO The goldbugs? Are they, then, sill
Yer men for Office and revenue instead
Of for principle? Even if Utah Demo-
Gratis have shown themselves hogs,
should silver Republicans become
traitors? There's the rub. Is there,
then. no vital, Worldwide truth in the
bisnetallic argument that it should be
made the sport Of conditions Is the
silver cause of so little consequence
that it is TO be abandoned after one
defeat when a change of less than 90
COO votes would have elected Bryan
president? Or is. il a cause so essen
tiai TO the well-being of man, so close
10 the heart of the advancement of the
race. as 10 be worth a half century of
struggle to make it victorious?
IT has this much to do with the sill
yer question. Our neighbor was for
silver as long as business conditions
necessitated such a stand, and it was
ever ready to go to Hanna the minute
the public began TO evince a greater in
terest, temporarily, in something else.
Mining activity in the state has en-
abled it to break away without ex-
citing much comment, and so II renders
judgment that it is unnecessary to
make another stand for silver until
conditions change" The Tribune even
libeis the farmers of the west by try
ing to drag them down TO the level of
its own selfish view, when it says:

tween the crest of the Alleghenies and

PLAYING THE BABY.

In pitiable attempt to square itself
morning contemporary misrepresentec
the position of the labor unions, the
governor of Idaho, the federal authori-
ties, the attitude of The Herald and
News, and it misstated the resolutions
of the federation and everything it
treated, condensing an immense
amount of information in two begging
editorials. For instance it said:
A so-called labor convention met in
Salt Lake and passed resolutions con-
demning the governor Of Idaho and
the president of the United States for
performing their sworn duty. and for
restoring order where anarchy pre-
vailed and the lives and property of
men were in jeopardy
A more contemplate SANDER could
not be conceived. The laboring men
denounced the crime committed at
Wardner, commended the officers for
doing their sworn duty, but condemned
them for usurping authority and ac-
cusing the union miners as the Tribune
has, of being murderers and incendiar-
les, and they questioned the right of
state or federal officials to prohibit
union men from getting work in the
mines. The organ says further:
The Salt Lake Herald and the Deseret
News were both as silent as the grave
over the matter until yesterday.
That is entirely false, for both news
papers referred to defended the labor
delegates repeatedly from the coarse,
vicious attacks of the Tribune, which
began the day the delegates began to
arrive.
And the petty attempt to ring in the
senatorial contest on this Idaho labor
question shows how firmly that sena-
torship nightmare has taken possession
of out poor old neighbor.
