have up to this time had no definite
understanding with regard to leg
islation. Recently they held a
caucus at which governor Lind
was also present. The members
of the. fusion party have not been
working in harmony of late. They
have been voting, each senator as
seemed best to himself, some of
them directly contrary to the gov
errors wishes. There had been
expressed some feal that the re-
form forces were drifting asunder,
and so this informal caucus or con-
ference was called. The senator's
and the governor discussed the adj
vantages Of united action. 1t Was
held by some of them that they
ought to stand by each other and
by the governor. There was some
consultation as TO the proper
course to be pursued with refer
ence to the jacobson bill for in
creasing the tax on gross earnings
of railroads, and also on the bill
for an eight hour day labor. No
definite agreement was arrived at,
except the general one that the re-
form forces should get closer to-
gether and meet occasionally in
consultation and be of one mind
hereafter.

The county asylum bill has been
defeated in the House but the
friends of the measure are firm in
the belief that the time is soon
coming when the state will recog-
nize this as the most humane and
expedient way of providing for
chronic insane. The strong CON-
bination between Anoka and Hast
ings and the natural prejudice
against the, term ''county asylum"
caused the defeat of the bill. The
county asylum system in New
York, which was in truth a lack of
system, was used as an argument
against the measure. The county
asylum system in New York had

That appetite of forty years
standing manifests itself in every
way. Mr.. Dearth, the insurance
commissioner, who is soon to be
succeeded by the new appointee,
permitted Mr.. Austin, the pros
pective deputy commissioner, to
come into the office in order to
''learn the ropes" as the phrase
goes. When Mr.. Austin had been
in the Office about one month he
called for his pay. Mr.. Dearth
was dumbfounded and stated that
he had one deputy and had no
means at his disposal to pay for
another. Moreover, he had not
hired Mr.. Austin but had as an act
Of courtesy permitted him to be in
the Office that he might inform
himself with regard to the duties
which would devolve upon him
when appointed. Austin went to
Mr.. Lind and the governor appear
ed before Commissioner Dearth and
desired to know why he refused to
pay Austin. The commissioner
held his ground and reiterated that
he had not engaged Mr.. Austin
and had nothing to pay him with.
There was something in the con-
tingent fund of the Office and if the
governor would assume the re-
sponsibility of authorizing the pay
ment of Austin's unjust claim out
of this fund he could, of course, do
so. Lind signed the vouchers and
Austin received months salary.
Such procedure is without prece-
dent. 1t is a small matter but it
involves an important principle.

change, together with the normal
instruction given in high schools
and the university, will be ample
to provide the state with teachers
for many years to come.
The Republicans of the Senate
should hasten action on the bill
to increase the gross earnings tax
on railroads from three to four
per cent. The bill should already
have passed that body and become
a law. This is the most important
revenue measure yet considered
and it must not be defeated. It is
a just measure and the Legislature
is expected by the people to see
that it becomes law.
The first bill of great Importance
to pass both branches of the Leg
islatrre was the Sommerville bill
for the incorporation in this state
of corporations from outside the
state. The amendments adopted
by the House were agreed to by
the Senate with but little opposit-
ion.

IGNORANCE ABOUT THE BOERS.

One Of the most striking features of the war
which is manifested by the British army staff.
We may add that IL Is one Of the most surprising
and one Of the least excusable features. II was
one thing and a natural and inevitable thing.
that the British at the scene Of action should be
less prepared for war than were the Beers, and
outnumbercd and should suffer some dlsadvan-
tage. We have hitherto explained why that was
so and had 10 be So. But it is n very different
thing. now that the war Is fniry on, for the
Headquarters staff 10 be ignorant Of the numbers
md armament Of the Beers and consequently
to he at loss as to how TO proceed against
them. There was no need OF that and II will not
be easy. we imagine, to discover satisfactory ex-
cuscs for it. One prominent British authority
says that II was not deemed necessary for the
Intelligence Department to keep posted concern
ing the Transvaal army. because the Transvaal

the very best Of reasons for keeping most per-
fectly posted.
The amazing part Of the case is however. that
facts well known TO all the world seem to have
been wilfully ignored by some one Much sur
prise was expressed the other day, for example.
when IL was discovered that the Beers had bet
ter field guns Mt Indysmith than the British
had. But why should there have been the lea st
surprise? Certsinly there WINS none among well
informeH men in this country. 1t had been

TIRE LOCAL FIGHT.

The first impulse OF many Republicans in face
Of the local election returns will be 10 declare
that fusion and non-partisanship failure
Some strong parisans may be inclined to wish
that the organization had not pledged Itself TO n
continuance of the non-parsan policy in future
municipal contests. We shall expect TO hear
some complaints that the independent voter is
not worth considering and SpOilsmen here
after pointing TO this campaign as an excuse for
machine nominations whenever they see a
chance 20 win a municipal office without indie
pendent aid Nevertheless they have no reason
10 complain. local victory this year would
have been almost n miracle. Under the crcum-
stances the fact that they secured fusion at all
ought 10 be 10 them n cause for encouragement
and determination 10 pcrsevere in the non-parti-
san policy. Instead of feeling disappointment
over the result, they may be thankful that the
independents in such considerable numbers were
induced TO Join hands with them.
For the organization to approach the ndepen-
dents after the campaign Of 1897 was extremely
difficult. In that year, when there was really a
chance to defeat Tammany and secure an hon.
est. non.partisan government, the Republican
organization wickedly turned over the city 10
the complete control of Tammany. The people
who supported Setn LOW udtuTdII! ulStius''u

professions OF repentance this year too obviously
harmonzed with self-interest readily to remove
that dstrust. Mr.. Platts awakening to the
evils of Tammany rule was we'll understood 10
be colncident with the refusal OF Tammany 10
play fair with the proceeds OF the power II had
secured through Mr.. Platts aid. His CONVEX
sion to the principle of municipal non-parisan-
ship, which, though Republican doctrine. he
aud his followers had repudiated came at a mo-
ment when he needed independent votes for his
own purposes. They offered him the only hope
of securing any revenge on Tammany or gaining
any local Offices Moreover, they were essential
for the reelection of Republican Assemblymen
in this city and on n Republican Assembly Mr.
Platt's prestige depended. As 1t turned out, the
rural fear OF Croker. the inactivity Of Hill and
the Democratic blunder Of showing Bryan before
the people gave the Republicans an Assembly
majority outside Of this city bnt that was some
thing that nobody could foretell. and Mr. Platfs
motives In seeking independent support were
TOO clear TO escape the notice OF independents
who had had experience Of his friendship for
non-partisanship under other conditions. How
could he expect them TO take him ct his word
