There is no question but that Senator
Stockwell, of Hennepin county, is sup
piled with plenty of nerve that will
serve him in any capacity The next
day after the legislature re elected Sen
ator Davis for another term in the
United States senate for a term of six
years, the Hennepin senator introduced
set of resolutions in the state senate
against expansion and calling upon our
senators at Washington to oppose any
attempt on the part of this government
to govern the people of the Philippines
OF to subject them to our control, and
he further declares in the resolution
that this government should assist the
people of Cuba, Porto Rico, and the
Philippines to establish self-government
republics. There is not the least doubt
but that the Republicans will most wit
tingly'go on record in putting these res
olutions most effectively to sleep.

the board has to work with to utilize to
any great extent the labor of the in
mates. The management OF the re-
formatory could undoubtedly do it we'll
with outside expert labor, but to simply
attach an annex of that character to
the work of the reformatory would, in
my Judgment, impair its efficiency.
The work of printing text books could
be done much more economically out
side the reformatory, for conditions in
the reformatory are unfavorable to
cheap technical work. The work which
the inmates are accustomed to can be
done by them comparatively cheaply,
but high class work would be expensive
These are the objections as they occur
to me at the present to the bill. "
Here is some sound sense that the
members of the legislature should pay
little heed to before they put the
money of the taxpayers into wild
scheme that will not only prove expen.
sive to the state, but also give the schools
an inferior quality of books.

MUST BUY THEIR STAMPS.

Representative Gutterson introduced
a bill in the house Wednesday by the re-
quirements of which it is made unlaw-
full for common carriers in this state to
require any person to pay for revenue
stamps on bills of lading or telegraph
messages. Violations of the law are
punishable by fines of 800 to $3.50 for
first offense, and $3.50 to $500 for each
subsequent offense.
He also introduced another bill that
provides for putting all telegraph COM
panies under the head of common car
riers, and directs the railroads and
warehouse commission to assume the
same powers as to telegraph companies
as are provided by law in case of other
common carriers. The measure went

McGOVERN WILL CASE.
Supreme Court Sustains the Two Lower
Courts.

The supreme court has rendered de
cision in the case of McGovern VS.. Nc
Govern, affirming the judgment of the
lower court. Thos. McGovern died in
1882, and directed by his will that the
northeast quarter of sec. 81. McPher.
son, be given to his heirs. He did not
own this land but did own the south
east quarter, having evidently made a
mistake in the description. The execu-
tor. Peter McGovern, asked to have the
will corrected, and Christopher Nc
Govern, who was not named as an heir,
opposed this and was successful in the
probate court. The executor appealed
to the district court and then to the
supreme court, but the decision of the
probate court was sustained by both of
the upper courts, which held that a will
could not be amended. w. E. Young
was Christopher McGovern's attorney
This is the first time that this ques-
tion has come up in Minnesota. In
other states it has been decided 10th
ways.

The Mower County Transcript refer
ring to Gov. Lind's suggestion that the
state print its own text books, opposes
the scheme and says, Our chief objec
tion however, is in the fact of loading
up our schools with a lot of second
rate publications, always needing revis-
ion and changes, but under state con.
contract seldom getting them. Under
the Merrill law there was set of old
fogies who endorsed and accepted a
list of text books for the state which
were not satisfactory and the same
thing is probably to happen again.
Good books by first-class authors which
are kept revised and up to date cost

find to it's sorrow if it ever goes into
this business"

The Moorhead News mourns over the
fact that the principal plums Gov. Lind
has at his disposal are nearly all given
out, and the hungry crowd has hardly
had taste yet, and it signs as it thinks
of Warden Wolfer re-appointed. And
here we get a good insight to the in
stincts of the "reformer" He would
take the place of warden of the state
prison, one that needs special training
and special ability to fill and fill we'll,
and give it to politician, who has no
idea whatever as to the particular duties
of such position, nor ability to fill it,
asa reward for the plugging he has
done Doubtless there is nothing Gov.
Lind has done that has given cause for
as much dissatisfaction among his
fusion followers as the part he
has taken III the retention of Warden
Wolfer, and yet it is one of the most
meritorious acts of his administration
so far But the fact that the plum tree
has been actively shaken, but those
that have fallen have hardly made an

AN lMPRACTlCABLE
CCHE ME-.

Regarding the bill which was intro
7duced in the state senate to carry into
effect Gov Limbs scheme to have the
text books of the state printed at the
state reformatory, George w. Stewart,
resident member of the board of man
ayers of the reformatory, in an inter.
view is reported as saying:
LAS member of the board of man
ayers of the reformatory, / will say it
will be my endeavor to carry out where
ever in my power and direction of the
legislature, wht tn r it be the establish
ment of a print rg industry in the re-
formatory, or any thing else; but it &C.
ours to me there are objections to print
ing school books at the reformatory
which will be sufficient to warrant the
legislature in refusing to pass the Under
leak or other bill having in view that
end
THE first and prominent objection is
that that the printing of modern school
books is the highest type of the art pre-
sentative of arts. Second, the equip
ment of a printing Office for the print
ing of school books will cost a very large
amount. Third, the inmates of the re-
formatorY are all young men, the aver
age age being from 20 to % years. They
are sent there for the reason that they
have not had any practical training, no
trade or industry, and no well defined
purpose or object in life, and no mental
or moral equipment to carry it out if
they had. Fourth, the tenure of the
stay of the inmates at the reformatory
is limited to about fifteen months on
the average, SO that the establishment
of printing plant on large scale is
impracticable with the material that

WHAT GENERAL WOOD HAS
DONE.

Gen. Wood. who has command of
Santiago province, has been doing
great work for the City of Santiago and
his statement before the senate COM
mittee on military affairs is most inter
esting. He stated that he had made no
appointments to offices except upon
recommendations of Cubans and that
he put them upon their honor regard
ing these recommendations Every
thing in connection with his admin
stration has been at ale times open to
their inspection and he has in this
manner won their confidence. His
endeavor has been to encourage them
in the various towns of the province to
establish self government, build roads,
open schools, ETC. He said that the
collections at Santiago had paid all
legitimate expenses, and there is a
balance on hand of $3.50, and he
believed this should be devoted to clean
ing out the harbor. He said there was
some ten feet of filth deposited in the
harbor, and thought if that were re-
moved, Santiago would be as healthy
as the average American city. In speak
ing of the work he has accomplished
there, the Minneapolis Times says:
Confronted only few months ago
with an appalling array of diplomatic,
social, sanitary, police and financial
problems, among a strange and semi
hostile people, he has met and conquer
ed every one of them. He has driven
famine from the province, set the idle
at work, cleansed the city and outlying
villages, burned the breeding places of
pestilence, sent the children to school,
caused the revenues to pay the bills and
made the people believe they them
selves were doing it all, so adroitly has

ing and acting. In making up your list
of men of deeds developed by our late
war, give General Wood a place near

The Mapleton Enterprise says that on
account of the hog cholera the shipments
of stock has fallen off at that place from
296 cars in 1896, to 90 in 1898. This is a
tremendous falling off, and measures the
blow that disease has inflicted upon the
the farmers of Southern Minnesota,
wiping out almost entirely one of the
m ost profitable features in connection
with farming.

The st. James Gazette does not favor
the bill before the legislature pro-
viding for the electrocution of muir
derers at the Saltwater prison. Speak
ing of the same, it says: Capital punish
ment does not consist in the mere TAX
ing away of the life of the criminal
The object of the punishment has al
ways been looked upon as a lesson in
morality to be taught the community
wherein the crime occurs-a lesson that
will have deterrent effect upon others
of vicious nature. To take. homicide
from remote part of the state to the
penitentiary for execution would de-
prive the lesson of its force, and make
the punishment merely an act of hu
man vengeance. Capital punishment
is not nor should it be an act of ven
geance, but if the bill before the legis-
lature becomes law that is all it will
amount to-"
Still it must be admitted that electro
cution is a great improvement over the
barbarous method of hanging, and if
capital punishment must be melted out
to certain offenders, it would pseem to
be the proper manner in which it should
be done

DEATH OF MRS. E. Nj. SLADE.

Geo. w. Slade returned last Friday
from Winona, where he was called by
the death of his mother, Mrs E M.
Slade, which occurred on Sunday eve
ming last. She was Sc years of age
The Winona Republican says: "Her
death was due to old age, although she
has been in poor health for a number of
years, Mrs. Slade was born in London,
Eng, in 1912, and came to this country
in 1852 The family settled in Winona
in 1855 and with the exception of a
short time when they lived near Foun
tain City, Mrs Slade has lived in this
city ever since She was held in very
high esteem by all who knew her Her
husband died some years ago. She is
survived by family of four sons and
one daughter: l. G. and A 0. Slade of
this city, Samuel Slade, a dentist, loca-
ted in New Jersey George Slade, a

the past quarter of century, with the
exception perhaps, of William D. KEEL
ley, of Pennsylvania, who died a few
years ago. Dingley, however, was a
much broader man than Kelley. He
had closer acquaintance with politics
in general. He was greater statesman.
As the head of the ways and means
committee, and thus the leader of the
majority party on the floor of the House,
he had an important influence on legis-
lation. The tariff act which bears his
name was leading factor in the finan-
cial rally which has come in the past
two years, though, of course, the plac-
ing of the gold standard on solid basis,
which was also involved in the Repub
lican triumph of 1896, bore a decisive
part in the business improvement. In
one particular the experience of the
Dingley tariff has been like that of the
Morrill, tariff. If the.Spanish war had
not occurred the revenue under the
present actiwould fully 'ymeet the ex-
penditures of the government. Had
the war of secession been averted, the
Morrill, tariff, which was passed just
before that war began, would undoubt-
eddy have furnished abundant revenue.
