ture, of that state, the Minneapolis
Times says:
rHere in Minnesota, more's the pity,
there has been no hint of legislation

There is time yet, for some honest legis,
lator to make himself famous and give
himself fair start on brilliant poll
tical career by introducing in the Min

all his might an anti-pass bill. He could
at least compel the pass takers to put
themselves on record and hasten final
action by the people upon an issue that
is sure to be fought out here in Mime

The Rock County News, a Democratic
paper, says: Zone sure thing, the pres
emit legislature will kind of have to
come ohm Lind's way or they'll run up
against the people" Not necessarily.
Tt seems from Gov. Lind's message that
he has gone the legislatures way, the
way of the people, and adopted much
more conservative tone than he assumed
during the campaign. At that time he
argued that the affairs of state were In
bad way, extravaganza abounded, and
the institutions of the state were on
their way to his satanic majesty. But
in his message he took a different view
of the situation. He thought the af-
fairs of state were in fairly good shape,
the institutions were well managed;
and said that ways and means must be
divised to raise more money to meet
growing needs, as expenses could not
be cut down. The legislature will do
best to follow good business sense.

nority members of the house who favor
taking bold stand in the matter, fight
ing against the use of any public money
for such purposes. They think it
would be good political move, besides
being right, but they have no hope of
success, and they may weaken. There
is no doubt whatever, that majority
of the members in their private capacity
see their duty, but not many of them
will be in position to say after the close
of the session in the immortal, though
ungrammatical words of the lamented
General jeremiah Rusk: I seen my
duty and done it,"

cannot afford to incur the i'll will of the
newspapers, but how about mourning
the ill will of the taxpa ers, whose
money they illegal vote away in such
an appropriation.

members of the legislature were talking
a day or two ago of bringing up the
subject of the we'll known steal Of pub

It is to be hoped they will. It is sub
ject the majority members could bring
up with profit and sit down upon it very
hard. In short it is steal that ought
to be stopped. The Times reporter
seems to doubt that it will be, however,
and adds that 'this legislature seems

Times reporter continuing says that in

Representative Foss, declare that they

IMPERIALISM A BUGABOO,

If Senator Hoars view regarding the
posi- ton of this country towards the
Philippines is sound, then Abraham
Lincoln and his associates gave the con-
stitution most terrible strain when
they compelled the southern states to
re main in the union against their con
sent Doubtless the senator would
hardly want to go on record, as taking
such view of the situation during the
rebellion, but it differed little from
theu situation that now confronts the
nation in the Philippines, only in that
it was more decided case of not want
ing to be governed by the United States:
In the Philippines, there are said to be
large class of the more intelligent ma
tives who desire annexation to. this
country, because they recognize the adj
gantages that will accrue from stable
government, and they have no faith
that the followers of Aguinaldo will be
able to maintain such. If the state
ment of President Magill, of Swartzmore
College, to the effect that the admins
tration will not annex the Philippines,
but establish a protectorate over them,
that our occupation of those islands will
be only of a temporary nature, until
such time as stable government can
be formed and maintained, then those
who are making their grand stand play
against annexation are having their
trouble for their palms. The fact is
they have built largely on their imagi-
nations as to what this country will do
in governing those islands. They have
assumed from the first and without the
least reason, that 1T would be despotlc
form of government established there
in which the natives would have little
or no say. They have ignored from the
first the intimations thrown out by
those close to the president that in the
re-establishment of government that
the natives would be called upon to the
largest extent possible, and as far as
possible home rule will be given For
time necessarily, while order is being
restored military government must
be maintained, but when the time ar
rives that it can be cast one side, there
is not the least doubt but that it will be
done Imperialism is simply bug-a-
boo the anti-expansionists have raised
for effect .'-' - ~ 60

islature have declined the passes ten

head of mo 16 to in ours, and. gives

that they cannot see that the Demo-

that without their votes the Democratic
party has no earthly hopes of success
Defeat, and overwhelming defeat, is in
evitable, as it ought to be. \
The Record and Union also favors the
holding of the Philippines and does not
endorse the attitude of those leaders,
who are attempting to make little
political capital out of the patriotic
course of the administration. There is
not much doubt but that if the Demo
cratic leaders insist upon free coinage of
silver and anti-expansion as their battle
cry for 1900 they will meet worse de
feat than they did in 1896. 81

FAST RAILROADING.

The year 1899 is introducing some
great speed in railroading called out by
the desire of the postal authorities to
expedite mail communication between
the two oceans, and during the past
few days steam and steel has been max
ing great race across the continent
against time Lewis L. Gray, superin-
tendent of the sixth division of the rail-
way mail service, explains the matter
thus:
The transcontinental mail service
inaugurated with the new year is the
fastest regular schedule across the con-
tinent, or. for the distance run, the
fastest in the world. The service ex-
pedites the mail from New England
and New York to the Pacific coast from
from ten to eighteen hours 1t is not
competitive race for contracts nor for
additional compens ton, The railway
mail service made up the schedules and
the "a lroads accepted them on present
contracts.
While the trial that is on is not SO
much matter of competition between
different roads for some great stake as
it is to reduce time between the two
coast lines, still the records made by
the various roads is very likely to be
closely scrutinized when new contracts
for carrying the mail are made. AS to
the time made by these trains, the Sioux
City Journal says:
Under the new schedules thirty-two
trains are making unparalleled speed
between the coasts. The time between
New York and Chicago is cut to "a
hours and Is minutes, between Chicago
and Omaha the schedule calls for ten
hours, and from Omaha to San Fran
cisco 36 hours-a total of 70 hours and
10 minutes, or less than three days, from
coast to coast. Fast trains also run to
the northwest coast. ,.s
"A feature of the new service which
will command general approval is that
the standing start of several hours at
Chicago, which practically broke the
back of the fast mail system, is wiped
out. The new service is fast mail in
deed, whose benefits will be felt by all
portions of the country.
The railroads east and gwest have
proved themselves equal to the demands
of the new schedules. The time made,
especially on the western roads, indi-
Gates that they have made great ad-
vances in the construction of roadhed,
in locomotives and rolling stock and in
train operation since the day not SO
long gone that the American humorist
suggested putting the cowcatcher in
the rear ito prevent cattle from an
noying the passengers. The American
roadbeds are as solid as adamant and
the machinery, OF. the best, as is shown
by the fast time that has been, made
away out west between the two great
rivers, where mile has been covered
in the remarkable time of 81 seconds
The effect of the new mail schedules
will be to quicken railroad speed and
improve the service on all lines. The
connections of the fast lines will assure
such a desirable contamination. The
mill tho ,xy 20,
soon be the fastest as they are already
the longest, the safest and most COM
