We object to the arrest at
evening of child on charge of
truancy, and the confinement in a
cell in Jail during night among
surroundings which should be kept

it she or he, writes complaint to

The child who ran away from
school and probably did what the
Marshals, the Judges, and even the
teachers have done, spends a night
of terror in the cell of criminal;
is dragged before the court, where
occasionally even the name of the
culprit cannot be ascertained, and
eventually scolded, bullied, threat
ensd and ordered to go home or
take a chance in the Reformatory
School, from which they all emerge
of course as honest and good citizens.
The law which allows the arrest
of children in the manner as now is
in vogue is hardly in accord with the
Constitution, and it is noteworthy
that none of the truant officers enter
the premises of the "well-to-do" or
make an arrest among their children
kept at home from school without a
doctors certificate, but simply ac-
cording to the judgment of parents
or guardians. We notice that in
regard to such children the teacher
never send forth an "order" written
on piece of scrap paper and give
no instructions for an arrest. 1t is
the old, old story where the privi-
legged classes can do what they
please, and do 80 because they know
the laws, and where the poor must
submit to the bullying and outrages
of the men clothed with brief
authority.

islature could make law which was
unfair Courts were but the public
sentiment, and no courts would stand
long that decided against Justice. The
only question worthy of consideration
was whether the bill was a fair and
just one. The railroads did not pay
on their property as much taxes as
the other citizens. If the reads were
able to pay per cent on gross earn

were able to pay per cent more at
the present tine.

We're $40,00S, 702; the operating expenses,
$21, ,14S,os9; the net earnings, SIS, $780, 6o3,
and the total taxes paid in 1897, $1,127,-
$50. The total proportion of stocks
and bonds of Minnesota railroads, ex-
elusive of the Great Northern COM
pany, was $346,3 766, or $43,599 per
mile.
If the railroad companies paid a fair
proportion of the taxes, the same as
others, the tax would amount to
$2,700,000. If the tax was made at
$4,000 per mile, which was a very low
hgure, the sum received would be
about $300,000 more than was paid now
and little less than per cent
If, as the railroad attorneys claimed,
the Legislature could not increase the
gross earnings tax, it would not hurt
to pass the bill. Its passage meant
$35O,000 more a year to the state treas
ury, and then the companies would
only be paying on a valuation of $10,-
600 per mile.

caused the greatest of excitement in

The stock Of this company, which six
weeks ago was quoted at twenty two

yesterday at S1.80, having jumped
from ninety cents in two days This
morning signs Of reaction were ap-

first sale of Isabella was at S160, and
at once the panic began. There were
many buyers but offerings We're too
heavy for them and the price grad
ually sank to s1.49 and S150, at the
close of the first call. When the second
call opened there was a further decline,
and the fall continued, the last sales
being at $1.291a@1.30. The sales today

action of the stock tomorrow, many de-

that the mine has $5,O00,OoO worth of
