The omnibus appropriation bill pass
ed the senate Thursday afternoon. AS
passed by that body it provided for con-
tinuous sessions. 1t also provided for
S75, 900 for the new normal at Duluth.
If the house cOncurs in the continuous
session amendment, the nOrmals will
doubtless all have summer sessions.
There is feeling that the governor will
veto the appropriation for the Duluth
normal. We believe that he would be
justified in so doing. The state has no
need for another normal at this time.
and the money that is being designed
for that place could be far better used
to strengthen the present schools and
ID axe them more useful to the state.

longing to the city will be securely
kept and not used for any improper pur-
pose. Unfortunately, the city charter
is vague as to this and some other
matters, but somebody should be re
quired to keep an accurate account of
all material and labor used on our
streets and none but itemized bills
should be audited and paid.
Third. The practice of borrowing
money for current expenditures must
stop, for 1 will not sign any papers that
will make me personally liable in a f.
nancial way. If you find that certain
find has become exhausted, simply
wait until it is replenished in the man
ner provided for by the charter, for you
have no authority to violate the pro-
visions Of that instrument. There are
other matters that might be spoken of,
but | will not do so at this time.
IN closing, wish to state that as
the executive officer of this city it is my
purpose to enforce the laws of the state
and the city ordinances; not that | wish
to persecute anyone, but | am in favor
of law and order, decency and good
morals, and | feel assured of your
hearty cooperation in this as well as
all other matters that will advance the
best interests of our beautiful CITY,"

And now Gov. Lee, of South Dakota,
has jumped into the ring and demands
that the South Dakota regiment must
be sent home from the Philippines
where he says it is unlawfully detained.
Harper's Weekly will undoubtedly take
this as another straw showing that the
west is solidly opposed to President Nc
Kinley's policy. But strangely enough
comes the information that South Da-
kota people, without regard to party
are roundly denouncing the governors
letter to the president.

THE ADVANCE OF WAGES.

There has been nothing in long
while that has so worried the followers
] of free trade and the silver standard as
has the rise in wages that has taken
place within the last 60 days. There
were those who predicted during the re-.
cent hard times, that the high degree of
prosperity reached in 1892 would never
| again be reached That wages would
never again see the point which they
then touched. Col Bryan and his fol-
| lowers solemnly told the country that
the continuance of the gold standard
meant industrial ruin, that wages could
never advance, nor prices rise. And
they reiterated all this after the success
of the Republicans. Again they re-
hearsed their doleful song after con-
gress met to enact the Dingley law.
They said prosperity was something
that could not be legislated into our
midst. AS confidence strengthened and
prosperity returned, they persisted that
they could see no prosperity But pros
perity has marched along just the same,
and today thousands of men enjoy high
er wages than they have received for
several years. The Bryan followers
have been discredited in every particu
lar. The full meaning of this wide
spread rise in wages has hardly been
appreciated as yet by the people. 1t
means wide spread prosperity far be-
yond the wage earners who have direct
ly profted by it, for it means that they
will become more extensive buyers of
the necessaries and comforts of life. 1t
means that there will be greater de-
mands upon the farmer for his products,
and consequently better prices, and so
through all the channels of industry
there will be general quickening of
the pulse. And the most gratifying fea
ture of the whole thing is that the in
crease in wages has been voluntary on
the part of the employers. There has
never been such voluntary movement
before, and it is especially significant in
this day of trusts and great corporations,
which we are told by their opponents
are formed for the two fold purpose OF
raising prices to consumers and cutting
the wages of their employees. And yet
some of these trusts have been the lead
ers in the advancing of wages.

Yesterday was Jeffersons day, the
day of great Jeffersonian simplicity, of
ten dollar dinners, of one dollar din
ners and even fifty cent dinners, and all
classes and factions of Democracy ought
to have been satisfied. But what hard
one on Jefferson that the various fac
tions credit him with the foundation of
their political beliefs-beliefs which he
would hardly recognize were he to re-
turn to life today and meet them.

MAYORS POLICY.
Outlined in a Message to the
Council.
The Practice of Borrowing Money for
Current Expenditures Must Stop,
Says Mayor Currier.

Mayor Currier read his inaugural
message to the councilThursday night, in
which he outlined his policy and made
some suggestions which the aldermen
ould do we'll to follow. If the line of
policy laid down in the message is fol-
lowed with any degree IF strictness, it
will be a radical change over past
methods and quickly wipe out the float
ing debt
The message is as follows:
Gentlemen of the Common Council
Before proceeding with our business,
l wish to make few suggestions which
I hope you will not deem out of place
at this time. OF course it is not neces-
sary for me to attempt to explain what
caused the recent revolution in city
politics, neither do l care to offer any
words of censure upon our predecessors,
for two years hence we may be trying
to defend ourselves from adverse criti-
cism, with none so poor as to do us
night is to call your attention to line
of policy, that, if adopted by your
honorable body, may provoke temper
airy criticism, but which af er the
clouds and dust of popular clamor shall
have blown over and the sober second
thoughts of our citizens have been ex
pressed. will in my opinion entitle you
to the respect and thanks of the people
of this city. One of the hardest things
for an average alderman to do is to re,
sist the continual calls from his con
situents to expend money for this OF
lat improvement in his ward, to please
somebody who helped him to get elect
ed, and now after the battle is over,
wants and expects the city to make
some long-needed improvement of one
kind or another in his immediate vi
cinity. Now, experience teaches us
that few men, comparatively speaking,
can save money even for themselves,
to say nothing about saving it for the
public. Why? Because this means
self-denial and that means that
our citizens must do without
things that very many of them want
and think they ought to have. And,
yet, if you expect to improve the finan-
cial condition of this city you must see
to it that not only must great caution
be exercised in mourning new liabili-
ties, but that for every dollar paid out
the city receives full value whether for
material or labor. Therefore, l make
the following recommendations in NO
dictatorial spirit, but simply to state
what in my Judgment you ought to do
for the best interests of the tax payers.
First To employ an expert and
entirely disinterested accountant, to
make an examination of all the books
and accounts of the city, so that we
may know just what the assets and liza.
bilities are of this municipality. I be-
lieve the people want this to be done,
and you most certainly ought to make
arrangements along this line, in order
to know what course to pursue in the
future.
Second Some way should be pro-
vided by which material and tools be-
